Any activity that you engage with can be a hobby. So, as you do gambling activity and you're happily doing it and does it at most times then that's certainly is a hobby.
Those that say that it's not a hobby, well, that's their opinion and we wouldn't meddle with what they think because they shouldn't also with ours if we think and say that gambling is no doubt a hobby.

If smoking can be said to be someone's hobby then why wouldn't gambling be ? Any activity that you do that can happily consumer your time can be said to be your hobby so I also believe gambling is an hobby for some persons but I wouldn't count myself among those who have it as one. For me gambling is something that should even be rarely played just atleast to relieve yourself some kind of stress and thinking maybe.

It is a hobby in all senses of the word. You got something that you can play while you're out and about, something that you can devote a good portion of your wee hours into without really committing to it for the long-term, and gambling just fits the bill. Though I would just like to point out that gambling is the and should be the least of your choices when you're picking out a hobby, it's great and all but the thing is that a lot of newcomers tend to be very stupid with how they manage their shit and gambling eats these kinds of people alive. If you don't know how to manage your bankroll, commit to self-control and not let the losses get to you, cause trust me, you'll be getting more losses than wins your entire gambling career, you can't be gambling at all. There are other more fulfilling hobbies out there than gambling too, I myself picked out keyboard modding as a full-blown hobby and took up gambling as a side-thing I got going on when I get bored of dismantling keyboards, putting them back together so it could sound "better". I suggest you do the same since for me, hobby as it is, gambling shouldn't really be your whole thing.

I think gambling is a hobby. It really isn’t too far from playing video games. It’s sort of the original video game but they had to add in the chance to win money otherwise they would be too boring by today’s standards. In a world where some people are crazy enough to think gambling is a job, be someone who considers it a hobby.

I think this is already the answer to everything. Truly, gambling is built for entertainment and to satisfy the pleasure of the gamblers who want to play and experience the thrill of gambling, but gambling will never be considered a hobby again if the gambler is experiencing addiction, to the point that they will play just to hope to win money or they can't control themselves to play more and more until they make themselves dry. That's when gambling will be considered an addiction to a gambler. I also experienced treating gambling as a hobby as an addiction, but luckily I pulled myself out and was able to exercise self-control. That's why for me now, gambling is more of a hobby. Especially when I want something that will make me excited and give me the feeling of thrill, as that is what gambling is giving, but I only gamble in card games because I get to use my skill and mind in order to win, and that is very satisfying if you win against your opponent.

Gambling can be considered a hobby, but it shouldn't be a primary hobby in order for the person to be on the safer side. You can have other things that you take as your serious hobby anytime you need something to do, and things you like doing other things should be there unless they are not available. Then you can bring gambling in as a secondary hobby for those who can consider it one. The reason why I said it shouldn't be a primary hobby is that presenting gambling as a hobby somewhere somehow looks like you are addicted to the game, even when you are not. It's not everything that's worth bringing to the front of a book cover page.

Upon all those sources and explanation, I still need the community input on the argument to know if gambling is a HOBBY so that I and the person will understand more. Cheers.
According to my dictionary, "a hobby is an activity that one enjoys doing in one's spare time." Gambling doesn't actually require any serious skill or profession before one can start gambling, and as such, it could be a hobby for anyone who loves gambling. Normally, nobody is always busy for 24 hours a day. We usually have some free time to rest, and if gambling is what you are always using your free time to do, then it becomes your hobby. That's my opinion. Gambling is a hobby for the majority of people, while sports are also a hobby for many people. The other day, someone said that trading is their hobby, while one cannot trade without learning the skill, but for gambling, no skill is required.

Well gambling can mostly certainly be your hobby but there should also be some level of restrictions because gambling can turn out to be that one hobby that can actually destroy you that's if you get too attached to it. But on the plain reasoning to the question you asked, It can we'll be verified that gambling is indeed an hobby for some persons while for other it isn't. Gambling is no joke and it can mess the gambler in ways he or she might end up regretting so if you are making gambling a hobby of yours, it should be as well not be a toxic one .

Those that are saying that it's not, they have their own opinions for it but we just can't understand why they think so. But maybe, there's a chance that they've got a bad experience on it. And that's why they're discouraging people from doing it as a hobby.

Gambling could be considered as a hobby. A hobby is an activity you enjoy doing regularly. You can’t get bored when doing such an activity as you either derive pleasure and satisfaction from indulging in the activity.
That said, I think there might have been some misunderstanding. I read the post you put up of your discussion with another member. If you would perhaps read it over again, you’ll note the person said “gambling is not a hobby parents teach their children”. That post doesn’t say or imply that gambling isn’t a hobby. It literally states that gambling isn’t a hobby that parents go out of their way to teach to their kids and I am inclined to agree with that opinion.

I do not really see the source of your confusion, anything can be a hobby, even staring at the wall for hours could be a hobby as long as you like it, those that do not consider gambling a hobby are either ignorant about the true meaning of the word, or they are trying to disqualify gambling as a hobby simply because some people can go overboard with it, a mistake without a doubt as that has nothing to do with the definition of the word itself.

One question I'll ask you is: Can someone have more than one hobby? If yes, gambling can be a hobby.
Yes someone can have more that one hobby and any number you need. This your question indicates that you are still a very young person in the forum. And you have not prepared Curriculum Vitae (CV), if not you would have known hobby in your CV. As I explained in the Op, things you like doing to have happiness so when preparing your CV, you put all the things you are doing as Sport or others as hobby. Whether they consider it a hobby or not, it's personal to each individual. Some people collect stamps or colorful shells from the shores and they call it a hobby. Gambling is too broad but maybe one can just point out that playing poker is a hobby that they play with their family members in their leisure time.
I'm not sure what you may come up with when you determine what the community thinks of gambling being a hobby. But to me, it's just a personal choice. If a person thinks its a hobby to watch naked girls using his binoculars to the windows of there next building, it's his personal choice.
Sir your examples are going out of point. You can be on the track by saying yes or no then you can give small explanation and not picking shells or gambling is a broad event. Here I only asked if gambling is a hobby and you can narrow all your broadness of gambling to say no or yes. I don't know if you really understand the content. Hobby is not a matter of choice but something that is in you. And once you are doing it it automatically becomes a hobby whether knowingly or unknowingly, it is an hobby in you. If you are not doing that thing then it is not your hobby. So remove choice from hobby. I made some clear explanations and links in the Op. Please you can go back and recapture them. I am not like others who tag out of point comments as shitpost but just misunderstanding. Hobby is anything that a person likes to do whenever they have free time, for example a person who works, studies and only has 2 hours free every day. and to relax she uses these two free hours to play the piano, so this person's hobby is playing the piano. in the same way that a person who works a lot and only has 3 hours every day to relax can take his binoculars and watch women on the beach if he lives near a beach, in this case that person can say what his hobby is and watch women on the beach. Now looking at gambling which is something that loses money and increases stress even more, in my opinion gambling is not a hobby for anyone It's hard to imagine a person having stress at work and in the free time he spends relaxing playing games and then saying he relaxed while losing money. he will be lying, no one likes to lose money, no one is calm when they lose, on the contrary, people tend to become irritated, sad and have greater stress when they lose. So gambling is not a hobby. Even in the case of people addicted to gambling, it is not a hobby for them. What happens in the case of people addicted to gambling is that they become addicted to the game, so they play all the time, they don't just play in their free time. As long as they have money, then they will be gambling all the time, and that's why people addicted to gambling lose everything: they lose their job, school, wife and family. because they want to spend as much time playing and that is not a hobby.

It can be a hobby. It's always going to be a game that would help you "win" money or "lose" money. It's up to you if you are going to limit yourself or gamble too much that it will be up to the point that it hurts. It should be controlled, if not, then you should seek professional help.

Firstly it would necessary we understand what hobby really is before we relate it to gambling. Hobby is any activity carried out by someone during his leisure or free time for pleasure and loves doing it. Gambling will be a hobby for someone who loves to gamble, so it won't be wrong to say the hobby of that person is gambling.
I think what we should take into consideration is the consequences of gambling as a hobby. So it is a matter of choice and decision by the object. As gambling can ruin such an individual, and possibly lead to addiction.
You started off beautifully. Gambling can be a hobby for anyone as long as they don't let it get the better of them and turn it into an addiction. Really, anyone who says gambling is their hobby has no business battling with a gambling addiction. For gambling to successfully be a hobby, one has to objectively take on any outcome that comes off it with neutral mind and emotions. That's why I really think that its rare for one to have gambling as a hobby. Anyone gambling is definitely optimistic about the result.

First of all I will like to define hobby in my own understanding. Something that one like to do always either for pleasure, leisure or entertainment.
I think this remains an acceptable definition for the term, hobby. Though, when one finds himself having gambling for a hobby, you might find yourself being an addictive gambler. That’s because, hobby comes with a key phrase which is “something one does likes to do often” and when someone likes to gamble often, that is an addicted gambler. With addiction being something that should be avoided by any gambler as it relates the field, gambling can’t be something you do as a hobby. It just wouldn’t suit very much, you’ve got to step it down.

Upon all those sources and explanation, I still need the community input on the argument to know if gambling is a HOBBY so that I and the person will understand more. Cheers.
Some people think gambling can be a job or a side hustle, instead of a hobby, however I must say they are wrong. Gambling doesn't provide sustainable income on long run, therefore it can't be considered a job or a source of income. So, if it's not a job, what can it be besides a hobby activity people engage in a frequent basis? Since people can't make consistent money from it, what other reasons would motivate them to gamble, if not pleasure and entertainment? It has to be a hobby, after all! Otherwise, if it was all about profits, it would have already stopped being a thing since a long time ago, as most people lose the more they play. However, even facing losses, they still keep coming back for more, leading me to conclude they play because they feel excited and emotionally rewarded, despite the financial losses suffered along the time.

Any activity that you engage with can be a hobby. So, as you do gambling activity and you're happily doing it and does it at most times then that's certainly is a hobby.
Those that say that it's not a hobby, well, that's their opinion and we wouldn't meddle with what they think because they shouldn't also with ours if we think and say that gambling is no doubt a hobby.
If smoking can be said to be someone's hobby then why wouldn't gambling be ? Any activity that you do that can happily consumer your time can be said to be your hobby so I also believe gambling is an hobby for some persons but I wouldn't count myself among those who have it as one. For me gambling is something that should even be rarely played just atleast to relieve yourself some kind of stress and thinking maybe. I was listening to a radio program recently and they were trying to compare smoking and drinking as responsible act, and so some other speakers mentioned gambling such as sport betting also being in the same category as the two above mentioned. And to a great extent the commentators were able to analys and established a view point that both smoking and drinking can be taken as responsible act if the actors does it in moderation and privacy, this makes it becomes an acceptable hobby, so for sure it is and well accepted.

Of course, not everyone who practices gambling considers it a hobby in the sense that it is their favorite activity in their free time. A large percentage of people practice gambling to satisfy psychological desires that are essentially personality disorders. In any case, gambling cannot be studied like any ordinary hobby because of its great psychological impact. However, it must be recognized that the concept of the hobby must include safe use, meaning that the hobby should not cause harm to the person in any way.
Personally, I consider my experience with gambling to be a hobby to try my luck from time to time by betting small amounts, and since I am on Bitcointalk, I enjoy the opportunity to try new sites. I can consider it a productive hobby, but this does not mean that I practice it everyday.

You can present gambling in different ways especially if a person takes gambling as a hobby then gambling becomes a hobby for that person. Gambling is still considered a pastime if one uses gambling as a means of passing the time. Even if a gambler considers gambling as a source of income, gambling is still considered a full-time job. Even if one considers gambling as one of the main forms of entertainment, gambling will still be one of the main sources of entertainment. So gambling is different for each person.

Well, gambling can be taken as a hobby, though not everyone gambling see it as a hobby, so, if we are to look at it from both perspectives, I would likely say or assume that the both of you are right from your different perspectives. Personally for me, I've always seen and taken gambling as a hobby, hobby just as you defined it, is something or an activity we do or participate in at our leisure time, mostly to either gain experience of that thing, or to have fun, or even both, but then, gambling can easily shift from being a hobby to something that is taken serious, most especially when the gambler starts to lose control of himself, or just decide on his or her own to take gambling much more serious, that is, above the hobby level, some way some people start blogging as a hobby, and when they have become very good at it, and possibly making good money from it, they then quit their job to focus on blogging, which automatically makes it their main source of income, this too does happen with gambling as well.
