Is Gambling A Hobby?

[danherbias07]

They must realizes that they don't have to use gambling as a hobby. That will prevents them from much trouble that they can face. If they can be wise, they will only spends some money to playing gambling.

Using gambling as a hobby is like when you're inviting problem for yourself because you can't be peaceful when you're always losing. Having a hobby that you won't be enjoying is not a good decision. It's better to have a different hobby but you can spent some few hours gambling from time to time. When gambling isn't your hobby, you can't get addicted and you won't be gambling always that increase your losses. Anybody saying he can make gambling a hobby hasn't experience being addicted to gambling and he can't stop gambling while all that happens to him is him losing money anytime that he decides that he wants to gamble.

Well, it's not like you were not going to enjoy it entirely.
Games in slots are mostly fun games and there's a variety of choices now that you can pick. Before, I was also pessimistic about them and I though I was not going to enjoy them but right now it's hard to not play the game for a day. I mean, I just want to roll even for just 20 times and see where my chances will go.
Sports betting is also enjoyable if you have a love for the game that you prefer. In my case it is basketball so whenever I see a good game that will happen I would definitely make a bet to spice things up.

Yes, I also admit that recently types of games such as slots have become increasingly popular, they can be very entertaining when we have free time because there are lots of game choices that we can choose from with different characters and ways of executing them. On the other hand, if we talk about the negative side then yes, of course in fact any type of gambling, if someone treats their gambling in the wrong way, for example, tends to be excessive, then it is clear that the impact will definitely be the same regardless of what type of game you play. What this means is that as long as we can take care of ourselves in the sense of treating gambling activities according to our abilities and not exceeding them then yes of course we will be able to enjoy the excitement but also will not experience significant negative impacts, the meaning is that it depends on you, and wherever you bet if you are able to control your gambling activities then everything will remain fine.

Yes, bro, because people's hobbies are different, but sometimes that hobby can be accompanied by looking for a profit, where the profit can make us even more passionate, in the sense of gambling, you have to know your limits, don't let it be because you are too addicted to gambling, it will cause damage. ourselves, because if we indulge in excessive passion it will bring us harm, because gambling does not always bring benefits to us, sometimes we also lose and fall, what must be underlined is, make gambling a hobby, not just a livelihood, where we can balance gambling itself, make gambling just a pleasure, not sustainable, each has its own limits, that is what we have to apply to ourselves, we have to control the limits so that it doesn't result in a loss.

After reading a lot of different answers on this topic, we can conclude that the majority consider gambling to be their hobby. If we talk about entertainment, which includes games, then for those who are true fans of gambling, betting regularly is commonplace. Someone loves to collect and will always find the necessary amount to buy that original thing in his opinion that he would like to add to his collection. In the same way, regularly visiting casino sites for players will be something different from just a one-time trip to play. 

Even if they consider gambling as a hobby, the majority of the gamblers do not treat gambling as a hobby. Hobby is something that is done in leisure time and for fun but most people will gambler for money and they are in mental pressure to win and become in stress when they lose. This behavior may not be with all the gamblers but those I know has the same feeling.
When you ask them verbally they will say that they treat gambling lightly as a hobby but in fact they are too emotional to get some money out of it and not lose the money.

When a hobby has provided income, then at that moment it is also without realizing that the hobby has turned into an income. Just like athletics or sportsmen, they basically just live their hobby by exercising. But,  when they have earned income from the sport, then when they compete then they might be disappointed or stressed when they get a lose result. I think, it's the same thing about gambling, because basically gambling is just a game of luck. But, when they have won a lot or maybe lost a lot in gambling, then what was originally just a game and a hobby suddenly turns into a source of income. Therefore,  I think maybe there is nothing wrong if they still consider it as a hobby, because maybe they can also do it by having good control.

make gambling a hobby, not just a livelihood, where we can balance gambling itself, make gambling just a pleasure, not sustainable, each has its own limits, that is what we have to apply to ourselves, we have to control the limits so that it doesn't result in a loss.

I guess it depends on the gambler himself. Even when you consider gambling as a hobby, it can also have negative consequences. For those who know the limits of their hobby, it won't be a problem. but for those who are too engrossed in their hobbies, to the point of forgetting their boundaries, it can have bad consequences.

hobby tends to be for fun. But many people are too happy with their hobbies which causes them to focus on their hobbies and forget about other things they should also be doing. Too much fun is also not good. the point is control.

Not good to identify gambling as a hobby, I feel it is very much closer to saying a person is addicted but in a way trying not to use the word addiction. Gambling is fun, we all derive that happiness from exploring and predicting games mostly when we keep having streak wins but if it goes side ways which mean losing more then one has to stop and then we see no fun in it any longer. I would not take gambling as hobby but a fun thing to do occasionally.

It's for people who understands that gambling could become a hobby. Most players don't have a wider horizon of the multiple options of gambling. It's just about win or lose to them. Gambling does multiple things to a player. Which needs steady self check to avoid being a victim to gambling's problem. Have read multiple year books for adults and hardly see people tagging gambling as their hobby. To show how less people think of gambling as a hobby. When the term hobby is mentioned people hardly think or say gambling. Meaning that most people see gambling as a place to win or lose, and nothing else. So, wondering if a hobbyist decide to get addicted, has to do with his scheduling and self control.

The main thing that must be paid attention to and always remembered is that gambling is a risky activity where a person can experience very significant impacts without getting equal rewards, and in terms of winning it depends on luck, meaning there is nothing else we can do other than focus. and maintaining various actions that lead to prevention, you can win but it depends on how good your luck is, while in the context of risk if you cannot control yourself then obviously the risk can be very big.

On the other hand, if gambling doesn't have risks then it doesn't matter if you make it a hobby and treat it excessively, but however, in a place that has the opportunity to make a profit then of course there will always be a risk behind it, and I think this risk is very reasonable because gambling is an activity. with little effort, or meaning one can earn money just by looking at the screen and pressing buttons. And the points you make are quite good which lead someone to prioritize boundaries.

It can be a hobby for some but for others it takes over their lives and becomes an addiction.

hobby tends to be for fun. But many people are too happy with their hobbies which causes them to focus on their hobbies and forget about other things they should also be doing. Too much fun is also not good. the point is control.

Hobbies and pleasures combined will be happiness for themselves, it may seem negative for ordinary people but it is different from the perspective of gambling lovers and that because their pleasure is in it, it is difficult to stop someone who has become part of their daily life in gambling, but they understand the limits and advantages. for him to share time with his family, especially looking for additional income, is always done by people and in different ways.

The advantage of someone in earning an income is not only working, but also taking up one's hobby in gambling and being able to earn income from participating in gambling competitions. Of course there will be events like that.

Additional income should not be the reason why one should gamble but because he derives pleasure in gambling. If you win it is an additional benefit to what you love doing for fun. There are some gamblers that love gambling because it reliefs them from tension and stress. Gambling as a hobby is for those that can control their gambling activities and use little amount of money to gamble.

If you are gambling for profit, gambling cannot be a hobby because you will lack self control and addiction will become a problem to you and this will affect you negatively.

Gambling can be someone’s hobby. I know if something is taken as a hobby, lots of people do end up being addicted to it, but some people are still not going to be addicted, but that’s if you choose to. Some people might be thinking they are just gambling for fun or entertainment, but they are not, they are already addicted to gambling without even knowing that, and some people already know they are addicted to gambling, and they are finding it difficult to stop. Some don’t even want to stop, but they do deceive people into thinking they are not addicted.

[SOKO-DEKE]

It can be a hobby for some but for others it takes over their lives and becomes an addiction.

It is really funny to me for someone to call gambling a hobby. What really is he or she getting from it to call it a hobby? It is possible that there will be someone somewhere who can call gambling a hobby. Even if there is someone, I think they will always be ashamed to say that in public. Once someone calls gambling a hobby, in my view, the person is already addicted to gambling. And even if someone is addicted to gambling, they do regret it sometimes when they lose money. So why would someone say that gambling is their hobby? If anyone takes gambling as a hobby, it may be hard for them to make it in life.

The problem for now is that hobbies and needs only have a very thin barrier especially in the case of gambling, people may say this as a hobby but without realizing that sometimes necessity is also a situation that does increase where we do gambling because in the end gambling when it continues to be done and suddenly stopped then we are like losing something and feel incomplete because gambling is considered a necessity for us to keep running our daily lives.

In addition, gambling is also considered as a favorable situation for us to seek more profit from gambling winnings because even though this is an aggressive way of looking at gambling but believe it or not for now especially for those who have an economic level below the standard always make gambling as a tool to make money in the hope that they get a big win from the gambling they do.

It is a fact that things are like this for some people, but as you say, this is a combination of pleasure giving happiness to many, you also have to take into consideration some special things, like the fact that if you as a person run out of money, not only will you be left without pleasure and happiness but you will be committing an act of great irresponsibility, and that is something that cannot be allowed, for everything, and notice that for everything in life you need money, even to go to the bathroom you need to have money, why? you have to pay for water, the paper with which you clean yourself and the fact of keeping it clean, that is money invested, necessary and basic but it is money, and it is only needed there, because money is necessary for everything, that is why in a casino we must be very careful and jealous with our money.

Yes, I understand what you are saying, where you are positioning your ideas on a gambler who has experienced dependence on these activities which makes them feel that something is missing in their life when they are not involved in these activities at certain times, and I would say wrong one of the reasons is that most likely from the start they did not understand what and how gambling actually is, especially not realizing that this is a risky activity so in the end they gambled blindly without putting time limits, and obviously as time went by they would feel dependent with these activities.

And sometimes when someone is dependent on an activity, they won't care about what they will experience, especially defeat. And also what you said in the last paragraph is true, that lately it is not uncommon to find gamblers who try to depend on the results of gambling, and usually they are people who have a worrying economic situation in their lives, even though every Humans are given common sense to think, but sometimes various pressures from the situations they experience can make them wrong in distinguishing between what is right and what is wrong.

Money has become an essential need to carry out the basic necessities and so it becomes our responsibility to save enough money to live a peaceful life.
Gambling shouldn't become the reason for not saving enough money and if it does then only we ourself are to be blamed for it.
Sure thing that things like gambling derives pleasure which we humans become addicted to but it shouldn't become the reason of our disruption.
That is where we need to be mindful and take the necessary action when we cross the line.
