Gambling for me not category as a sports game. Actually people play gambling to seek profits from gambling.
Sports game have a rule, nourish our bodies, and many positive benefit we can get from sports game.

That is correct. Most of the people who gamble regularly are for money not for enjoyment because if they lose money then they can't enjoy so they will enjoy gambling only when they make money from this game. But sports is different you just go there to spend your time and get refreshed after playing those sports games.

the best option is to add gambling options. If on a website adds an option about sports game/casino, or even an online game it would be a very fun site, which is not the focus of perfecting one game, but how to make people comfortable to berlama2, then some websites have to think of many free/giveaway and able to reach all ages as often as possible.

I think it can be realized if all the players, bet on a small amount and play just for fun. It will make the game more enjoy, and not impressed there is intense competition between players.

Agree sort of it is more intense if there is a money involved to the game, they will like to won the pot money and at the same time they tend to prove their skills. Every game that has a money involve you can see those teams or those person that will really do their best to get the win and get the money. Though now it is difficult to do that though it could be a recreational activity because some of the people will not do it because it is illegal or other things that will matter most to them.
Yes here in gambling it is all money matters. The involvement of money makes it distinctive from other sports or recreational activities. Like in sports the sportsmen playing are paid even if they lose, in gambling you one person has to be affected to the money. In recreational activities it is about winning the game not the money. The gamblers come with the idea to win or lose what he has. I think gambling and other recreational activities are different attitude wise.

Most sports are played for mainly the fun of it alone but the same can't be said about bitcoins because we all know that the main reason why everyone gambles is to primarily make some money and maybe secondarily have fun whiles making money. Gambling can never be termed as a recreational activity.

this option can make many websites last long and able to compete with other gambling web. I often visit many gambling websites, but only a few of them are able to maintain their existence to survive so as to keep their web visitors staying there

Gambling will never be an accepted activity like sports because sports are pretty much free to participate in and free to watch also, whereas gambling costs money to participate in.

Also, it is considerably more stressful and can lead to bad things (for example losing your house, family if you are addicted) whereas addiction to sports is quite rare or nonexistent for the most part.

Much as i would like to see this happen, i doubt it will ever be the case.  There some things that society just doesn't agree with and frown at, gambling unfortunately is one of those things.  The funny thing is, stock brokers are highly regarded in society due to the money they make, yet, in a simplistic way stock brokers are the biggest gamblers in society.   Gambling's reputation, rightly or wrongly also means that no matter how it changes, it'll most likely always be something that people do not want to publicly associate with.

By definition, gambling can fall under recreational activity since activities that involve recreation are often done for enjoyment, amusement, pleasure or simply put into something fun. However, what contradicts it is considering it as a sport since it doesn't involve any physical skill. It sometimes require mental skills but it doesn't count as a sport since it mainly depends on luck. There's a difference between recreational activity and sports and sadly gambling can't fall on both aspects.

Gambling is crime in terms of law but since more rich people push it because they want to enjoy their money, they make it legal thru help casinos. However the consequences of this gambling is to paid much higher taxes like beverages together with the cigarettes.

Maybe they make it because they want to control they people who become addicted in gambling.

but for people in the country that allowing gambling, they can gamble with free without breaking the law and they can play while they can enjoy the games too. I think in this country, people make gambling as their way to play the games as the recreational activity like sports game but they place a bet too. but I don't know about the taxes, how much they should pay the taxes.

We can make this happen, but most of all people shouldn't be getting themselves more binded to play gambling as a sources of their profit. That's why most people who think critically doesn't accept this kind of activity a form of recreational activity, besides they've been having an impression of money wasting.
Gambling can never be accepted as such a recreational sport due to a very simple reason. Generally all sports we play are based on some tactics and some kind of mental aur physical activity is required by the player which is what effects the outcome of sport. But gambling is sheer luck. Even if you say that I always win when I apply this tactic in gambling its still because of fate as there is no direct relation between the two. Moreover people spend money to win money on something whose outcome is based on fate. All this clearly depicts just one thing that gambling can't really be as popular as soccer or tennis.

No, it's not. Speak for your country only.
but since more rich people push it because they want to enjoy their money, they make it legal thru help casinos.
I am not sure from where are you picking these false information, but if it's legal to gamble it certainly isn't because some rich guy wants to gamble nor it is because county want to help casinos, it is because they want to take as much taxes they can.
Maybe they make it because they want to control they people who become addicted in gambling.
I am pretty sure that is the reason why gambling is not legal in some countries.

I would like to have the same reactions on what he was claiming on here which i didnt even know on what kind of ideas on his mind regarding on gambling site existence which it isnt really relying on those rich people. If gambling sites is considered crime then we wont able to see gambling sites as of now which means this thing is only possible or do exist on some countries but not generally.I agree on the fact that government would really allow such business because they would really benefited.

It shouldn't be considered as an accepted recreational activity, just be realistic, what would be the purpose of making it look like a MOBA or just like any other sport's game?

It makes no sense, if you gamble, you will lose money, and if you are lucky enough you can earn some money, it should't be a game and it would never be.

Maybe poker and all those games who require skills could be considered as one.. but it is still so far away from us at the moment.

I don't think gambling will ever be accepted normal sports activity ever. As in any sport(indoor or outdoor) have some benefit with it whether at physical or mental level. But gambling does not have any benefits like it but it makes a person addicted to it, lazy and sometimes anxious also.
So I don't think gambling can be compared to any sports or a recreational activity because of its harmful side-effects on a social and personal life of a person.

This means that sex can be a recreational activity. It involves pleasure, enjoyment, amusement, some sports too, and it's good for your health. Maybe we should be advertising sex in the mainstream media? Remember to have a good fuck every day, it's good for you! Brought to you by Vixen Brothels, eager girls every day!  Grin Grin Grin

I really don't see this happening ever. Do you even realise what you just asked people to do. You wish that people consider gambling as a sport, excuse me but sports and gambling can and never should be compared, it takes efforts, pain, and a lot in sports, while we gamblers look forward to leisure and earning quick bucks and these sportsperson do it with pride. So i would not really support such a stupid idea.

The purpose will always depend on the mindset of the player. Playing gambling by nature needs an amount of money or fund. Just like sports game also. However, in sports it is likely associated with recreational activities as the individual needs to do it more on physically. In gambling the mindset will always be the money to win. For those with existing funds may play it for fun or recreational. But most likely, gambling and sports are somewhat similar, you win or loose.

Yes, because we have different levels of entertainment reaction. As for me in order to make gambling as a recreational activity then every gambling must be re design the system on how it was being played like that it will be incorporated in a battle games and you have a betting amount in every games, then in that way i think that is more fun.

Basically, that's the essence where your play and hoping that the outcome would be the positive one but it can't be all the time like that. Having fun could mean to different people and gambling may not be the one for everyone but it sure is fun to play card games because that's what I and my friends do most of the time.
