Is Gambling A Hobby?

[nimogsm]

It depends on the gambler how he treats gambling. There are others who play for fun, so with this type of gambler, we can assume that gambling is a hobby for him, right?

But for a gambler whose aim is to make money, he/she cannot say that gambling is his hobby, especially if he already has an addiction to gambling that we know his body is looking for every day of his life.

If the player is trying to make a game with his work and it is unlikely that it will already be a hobby, but rather the main way of the ease. And a fool who really play for the sake of entertainment on weekends or with friends in some kind of short period can definitely be called a hobby in this case .

A hobby is something you like doing. Some people just like to gamble. Gambling can be a hobby. You are right. But someone that see gambling as a hobby should be very careful and avoid addiction because as some people are thinking it is a hobby, they are getting addicted and wasting money unnecessary on gambling.

Aside from what you say, friends, the hobby is something that Mom wants to do most of the time in your life, or it can give us relaxation, relief, and personal satisfaction with someone.

So it's only two things here, and it's a good and a bad hobby, meaning the hobby doesn't just refer to gambling but it depends on the person.

If both time and money are being controlled correctly it can treat as a hobby, though if the purpose is making money and being out of control then it might trigger addiction and may harm the person both financial and mental, more on self assessment and explanation if how they spend time and how they spend their finances, just like taking a movie night every sunday with budget that willing to spent, if there's no excess when playing gambling then can qualify as a hobby.

[Litzki1990]

Gambling is a hobby that borders on earnings and this is the danger of gambling. The thing is that we all want money, and even when we do what we love, somewhere deep down we want it to become the reason for us to leave our full-time job. Or life change.

We all want this, and this is normal. Because everyone strives for family life and this life requires money. Therefore, you need to approach gambling consciously, you need to always control yourself and be strict with yourself.

Even if one takes gambling as fun, he should take gambling completely seriously because gambling is directly related to money; if you make a mistake here, money will be lost and money is very valuable in life. But I think everyone's illusion of money works very well so if we give them suggestion they will still care about their money and if we don't give suggestion they will still care about their money. Many people say that they take gambling only for fun and I always want to contradict them because if they only take gambling for fun then winning and losing would not change their state of mind. So apart from these, every gambler must be serious about gambling and try to gamble with proper strategy.

For me, a good hobby is an activity that brings pleasure in the good sense of the word. Especially if this hobby is also supported by some financial benefit. We know many hobbies where people both relax and earn money. The work that you do with passion is also a hobby. However, if we say that gambling is a hobby, then such a hobby should not go beyond the limits of reasonable spending of money. Anything that does not harm you is welcome. But those cases when players stop thinking about everything except the game, need medical help, and naturally do not fall under the definition of "hobby."

Absolutely not, Gambling is actually an addiction that will make you addicted to making money. Most of the people gamble as a source of earning money while there are very few people who gamble for fun. I have a friend who is addicted to gambling to get rich and after losing repeatedly he bets again. His dream is that one day he will win and collect a huge amount of money. Since betting on gambling requires money, it cannot be a hobby for anyone. Because here you have to enjoy an option of win or loss.

This is where you are getting it wrong, some people pay money to have fun and entertain themselves, so whoever is using gambling as a hobby already knows the risk involved and he knows that he will lose his bet. He is not gambling because he wants to make profit but he is gambling to make himself happy and if he wins or loses, he does not care.

Support your thought, Not everyone takes up gambling as a source of income, there are many who consider gambling as fun and some as a good way to spend their free time. As people are weak towards money, a gambler may become addicted to gambling at some point which is quite normal. But there are many rich people who gamble even after losing money, they are satisfied with small wins. I have seen a gambler who is very fond of sports and only bets a small amount when his favorite team is playing. When asked he said that if the money is not kept then he does not get proper attention about the game.

Of the millions of people who live, there will always be at least some people who are able to use their common sense and mindset correctly, and that is what makes the difference in the approach to gambling where some people come with the aim of making money but there are also others who only make gambling a place for entertainment when they have boring free time and they are people who are able to use their common sense correctly so that they know about what is right to be used as a goal in gambling.

Basically I think you will not experience too bad an impact in any activity when you know what you are facing and what the consequences can be from the activity, because that is what will determine your future fate.

but do you think the ones that can use their minds in the correct way are tha majority or minority? because I see this is rarer and rarer each day
crazy that people give up on their rights and their freedom so easily.

gambling can be enterteinment but this is usually costly and hard for the families involved
have you ever seen someone deeply addicted and unable to change?

[Yucky]

Gambling can be a hobby. Of course some propose gamble to earn from it while some gable because they love competition. I find gambling to be quite interesting because it deals with the intellect, a pro gambler to me just has to be someone with a high IQ because how can you think of those snart moves without being smart.

So, picture this, an intelligent and smart person gets involve in the world of gambling primarily because they want to flaunt their intelligence and they enjoy the competition plus when they win it's more money for them. They enjoy the hype that comes from the crowd when they win and it in turn helps them to relax.

Now, I'm not saying even the intelligent ones can get addicted to the game especially when they feed on the hype but of course with caution they can always avoid the case of addiction. I'm saying gambling can be someone's hobby out of a competitive intelligent nature.

Yes, your opinion is correct, but overall, people who consider gambling as a hobby, in my opinion, must not be able to control both, namely time and money, because people who are crazy about gambling are crazy about everything, they can spend their time and money to be able to gamble, if they can't gamble, they will feel that something is missing in their daily life.

Well that's it, as you said that something can be called a hobby when the activity is accompanied by full management and caution, this is gambling which is an activity that involves money, opportunities and risks, it's okay to make gambling a hobby, but when it turns out that the choice actually causes a lot of problems in your life then it is clear that it should be avoided, I think we should be able to choose something right to be a hobby, and if you are not too interested in gambling then it is clearly better to choose something else to be your hobby. Basically and in essence it is okay to make gambling a hobby, but in any case this is a choice that is too vulnerable or too dangerous.

Gambling can be considered a hobby only when people do not use it as a source of financial income. Moreover, gambling cannot be accepted as a hobby in any way when it has adverse effects on people in the society. However, it can be considered as a pastime or hobby for those who indulge in gambling only for entertainment.

Then we all are should treat gambling as a hobby because the purpose of gambling is for entertainment, not for making money.

But I've heard in my real life someone are really obsessed with their hobby and they're willing to pay high just to get what they want. It makes them broke too, although it doesn't make them become homeless. They can still live after all.

People do the opposite of what you said i.e. they consider gambling as a source of income. If gambling is considered as a hobby or entertainment, it will never have a negative impact on the society because people will not be attracted to it. Gambling will have a negative impact on society only when people look for sources of income from gambling i.e. they want to earn money from gambling and bet more. Gambling people resort to various bad ways to earn their bet money. Basically, the fact that they adopt this bad way to get betting money helps to have an adverse effect on the people of the society.

So if you take gambling as hobby then maybe it will not have any bad effect on your family or society because you are not involved in greed which will make you addicted to excessive gambling.

Basically gambling is just a game but unfortunately, over time they become gambling as a source of income and of course it is very inappropriate. Because after all, it would be better to make gambling just a hobby because then, of course we still have other sources of income out there. Thus, we will occasionally gamble when we have time, unlike those who make gambling as an income because they will gamble at all times. Therefore, it is not surprising that when they lose they will be depressed and worse, they will commit crimes which of course make gambling seen badly.

A person may gamble as a hobby, it may entertain him, but there is no possibility of addiction. A person is likely to become addicted to gambling only when he takes gambling as his source of income. As the source of income is elsewhere, he can gamble during military time to fulfill his hobby which will be his pleasure or entertainment. Gambling is mainly taken as a source of income by those who rely on gambling due to which they face losses, but no one ever chooses gambling as a source of income as a hobbyist.

And a fool who really play for the sake of entertainment on weekends or with friends in some kind of short period can definitely be called a hobby in this case .

In other words, if the hobby is not getting you distracted or harming you in any way such as financially then we can consider it as a hobby.
If someone is gambling casually then he is having gambling as a hobby but if someone is repeatedly gambling and losing money which he cannot afford to lose then it's not a hobby but an addiction.

Gambling should be taken in a positive way and many gamblers use money to fulfill their hobby, I don't agree to call it wrong if it doesn't go to the point of addiction. You can define the two elements of gambling for fun and gambling for money separately but I think both are more likely to lose money. Most gambling has to do with money. But you have to remember that you will be gambling with a specific limit and you cannot get addicted.

If gambling can only considered and approached for the fun, thrill and pleasure it's got to offer, then I doubt that many people would be harmed by gambling as it already is now in the gambling space. So many gamblers now gamble for the financial benefits and the gains, and this kind of approach often have disastrous effects and impacts on the gambler, as they begin to involve emotions and sentiments when gambling and this has the ability to influence their gambling decisions.
If gambling is to be safe, then it should at all time considered for the thrill of the game, rather than the monetary benefits it has to offer.

But you have to remember that you will be gambling with a specific limit and you cannot get addicted.

It's hard to separate gambling for fun from gambling for money, as they are usually mixed. However, yes, the main thing is that gambling should be moderate and not turn into an overwhelming habit. In case these limits are followed, the risks of addiction and losses can be minimized. Therefore, optimism and self-discipline are necessary to make gambling a healthy passion.

If gambling can only considered and approached for the fun, thrill and pleasure it's got to offer, then I doubt that many people would be harmed by gambling as it already is now in the gambling space. So many gamblers now gamble for the financial benefits and the gains, and this kind of approach often have disastrous effects and impacts on the gambler, as they begin to involve emotions and sentiments when gambling and this has the ability to influence their gambling decisions.
If gambling is to be safe, then it should at all time considered for the thrill of the game, rather than the monetary benefits it has to offer.

Your point is well taken. If indeed gambling were to be always approached as only a form of entertainment, for the thrill and for fun, probably many people would be safer from its negative effects. When people start gambling for making money, they generally lose control over their emotions that might act as a judgment-caller and, in turn, lead to greater loss. Because it keeps being just a way of having fun and limited in bounds, the odds of addiction and big losses can be curtailed. Thus, keeping pleasure as the primary objective sure can be a healthier way to gamble.

Basically I think you will not experience too bad an impact in any activity when you know what you are facing and what the consequences can be from the activity, because that is what will determine your future fate.

True, not everyone has bad mindset and approach to gambling because basically everyone must have had lot of experience and felt how bitter and sweet gambling is until they can really have the right approach and be on the right track when gambling.
But unfortunately most people are still always in an unfavorable condition, they cannot think well even though they have felt many complicated problems due to gambling, people like this usually have major problems with emotions because when someone experiences peak emotional condition then they cannot think well.

Everything has been able to imagine from the beginning about what will be obtained from gambling, all the impacts and risks of gambling can be seen before someone starts it because there have been many experiences of other people that can be seen by all of us.
Goals and approach to gambling are the main factors to stay on the right track and can minimize all the bad things that are not wanted.

Well that's the problem my friend, often most of them find it difficult to make changes for the better even though they have basically experienced various setbacks that have caused many problems, especially in their finances, meaning that maybe I would say that some people who are able to use their common sense from the start in gambling are a small part of all people involved in gambling, and yes I quite agree with you that people like that are usually those who have problems in themselves such as having a high level of emotion that is really difficult to control.

Simply put, we can see the impact that will be experienced by the person only from the approach they have, and actually we can also see this from when they experience defeat, because of course there will be excessive reactions and emotions when someone has a goal to produce.

It's funny when we as we skip real talk of gambling and money. If not for the opportunity of money in gambling, 80% of people will not gamble. Let's even say the government made casino and gambling accessible for everyone free, you don't need to involve money, I'm very confident that the first thing that will happen to it is mismanagement because that often happened with government property and they will experience low patronage.

Gambling and money can't be separated, the first reason for gambling is money, that's what even the casino is there to make, they are not there for any father Christmas or giveaway. Even the money invested in marketing are made back in double and triple times. So when you say hobby is not for money, that discussion is off points because gambling is money and money is gambling, sadly only few people get the luck.
