Not everyone sees gambling as an entertainment, because once they couldn't achieve their goal for gambling, then they see it as something else, wrong impression and interpretation could cause this to happen anyway, because people are not even more inclined towards doing things the right way, instead, they prefer abuse over the right thing, gambling is more of being entertained than any other motive we may develop over it.
And those who don't see it as entertainment are making a big mistake, also because if you pay attention, I wouldn't want to remind you, it's actually called gambling, not gambling work. It's the joke I always make to make it clear that it's actually just a simple way to pass the time. We are the ones who then exaggerate it and transform it into something more.

Gambling is mostly marketed as entertainment, yet for real it just fits that label under very strict conditions. When it is occasionally played, using fund you can bear to lose, and no emotional attachment, it may feel like amusement. The moment regret is triggered by losses, stress, or harm, it stops to be entertainment and turns a risk behavior. Real entertainment ends with satisfaction, rather than damage. Gambling is unique because the same activity may quickly shift from being fun to harm which depends on the control and mindset. Therefore it is very accurate to say gambling can be used as entertainment by nature. What it becomes is defined by context and limits.

People that don't see gambling as an entertainment should go on with handling gambling as a means of income, if they make success from it, better for them but if they don't, they will still have to blame no one but themselves. People literally have different views for this discussion and what some people believes should not affect others that doesn't agree with them. They definitely have a solid reason for their believe, so let them test and see.

In some places, people do not consider gambling as entertainment. They consider it an investment. I have seen hundreds of cases in the village where village people invite each other, saying this is an investment platform and you can make money from it. There is a risk of losing, but you have to be careful and follow the suggestions so you can make money. I have even seen some media reports about it in my country. It is because those people do not have any idea about online gambling and they think this is a kind of freelancing. LOL. They heard that people make money from online. So, they think this is one of the way people make money. If others can make money, why not us? This is the mentality of those people.

Actually lets say that most of places do have that kind of approach towards gambling on which it isnt just that for entertainment but rather they would be that going for the sake of making money and this is just that we are seeing. Although this would be that a personal point of view because if you are someone whose that playing for the sake of fun and entertainment then its good but if not then you are putting up yourself on risks on losing up even more or would be having some financial problem later on, at the time  that you wouldnt be able to control yourself at the time  that you will be dealing up with gambling. Actually it was made for the sake of spending up some leisure time. It is just that people do overdo it or do forget on how to handle up their money and on how to handle up their emotions. People would be only making out some realizations when there's something happening wrong into their lives.

Gambling is just that good for entertainment and leisure but majority of gamblers do only take up on another path or approach and thats why they do destroy up their lives just because of such wrong approach or on how they do treat it up on which it should be that opposite.

Stock trading is also called a "game" in some languages... 🙋 At the same time, some professional poker players quite rightly view their activity as a job, a source of stable income. The same applies to billiards (which also contains elements of gambling). There are also people who consistently win on sports betting.

However, in most cases, gambling is truly not a job, but entertainment. At the same time, in my opinion, it is extremely important for a player to have a steady source of income. And preferably, this income should be large. A player should definitely have a high-paying job or their own business. Then everything will be harmonious... Then, gambling losses won't upset them (just as people don't get upset when spending money on alcohol or going to nightclubs). In this case, a person will view gambling as relaxation, entertainment, and an excellent way to relieve everyday stress.🌞

Should we then say gambling is entertainment?
As it usually said that gambling is a game of entertainment,on the other hand most gamblers would define gambling to as the worst nightmare that has ever happened to them.So it depends on an individual experience and perspective.You can be having fun and still be on a winning streak,in essence you can tell others how pleasant and entertaining your gambling life has been but an individual that isn’t after the fun and still not on the winning streak would tell others how frustrating their gambling life has been.Most persons entertainment comes from competition,for instance playing poker where a player competes against other players,so it isn’t necessarily all about the money.

Yup, part of entertainment if you have good discipline within yourself, the moment you exceed and unable to control your resources that's the time that it will lead you to more regrets than enjoyment, though there are some that might have that good driven attitude keeping gambling as controllable as possible those experienced gamblers who knows how to deal with both wins and loses, but not everyone who involve into gambling can do the same, most especially those who thinks that gambling is a good place to earn, most them ending up failing their desire worse, they become addicted and lose a lot.

Very true, I completely agree that gambling, if not done with discipline, can lead to deep losses, disappointments and regrets instead of joy. There are many who make it a source of income after entering here, they are the ones who fall into the most danger here. Taking gambling as a means of earning money is the worst decision, experienced gamblers know when to stop, when to step back even if they win, and how to handle themselves even if they lose, but when a gambler starts trying to earn money from here, there is no limit in him, he cannot handle himself and get out at the right time. And this is why gambling should not be given too much importance.

It's just like people there less educated about investment platform and didn't understand about investment at all, so they are very easy being tricked by gambler to get referral with saying a gambling sites as investment platform. If it happens here, at least I will remind people to be careful, giving an explanations the different between gambling platform and investment platform. If they are didn't care about my explanation later, it non of my business anymore, at least I remind them before high losses happens to them.

Not only in your country but most countries do see gambling as a way to evade poverty, that is they see gambling as a shortcut of making money and becoming rich through it, even though they know the consequences of it, which most of them might be luck in winning big from it, making them to be able to actualized their dreams but that doesn’t mean people can beat the system of gambling, which their intentions is to always win, because it is basically based on luck and chance, that is why people has to gamble responsibly no matter what they see or hear, because what work for you might not work for another and the earlier they realize that, the better for them.
