Is Gambling A Side Hustle?

[Hatchy]

Exactly, Gambling is a very unstable way of being a side hustle to a person or something someone can depend on.  Alot of people who luckily win Massively from gambling don't often use the money for something important instead on irrelevant things, why? Because gambling isn't something they had a lot of effort into, it's just free money. Funny thing is that it is easy to lose that Money back especially when greed filled their eyes. A steady side income, even if it is small, gives more peace of mind. At least you know what to expect. Gambling is just to earn bonus cash, nothing like side hustle in it, it's just made for entertainment.

Yea most times the profits made from gambling are immediately put into use or spent. The idea is you can sustain any part of your life using gambling. That because winning comes once in a while. There's no guarantee that your next bet is going to give you wins. So it's better not to put hopes on it. I won't be surprised that some people do make plans for unrealised wins. They purchase items on credit hoping to use their wins to pay back. They are only putting their selfs at risk. Gambling should always be seen as a mean to have fun and not until you make the wins, don't plan for it..

I won't be surprised that some people do make plans for unrealised wins. They purchase items on credit hoping to use their wins to pay back. They are only putting their selfs at risk.

This is often subject to certain instances and it’s often about those reckless gamblers that become all too confident due to certain team performance, presiding outcome and the timing on the game.

Gamblers that ends up making purchases even before the game is won often get roped in this kind of habit when they find their prediction in play and has very few minutes to the final whistle. It always feels inevitable that, the bet is won but, being a gambler, you ought to know better that, a lot can happen in a twinkle. There are band to be mistakes that could lead to misfortune and ends you in debt.

It depends the way someone will think over it , gambling is a side hustle for many people why in some area is a full time job for many people that use it to build buy cars and marry and do many things together, but who loses in gambling doesn't know the importance in gambling because they loss all the time and never make a win ,so in this situation if you ask them if gambling is a side hustle they will criticize against it because they have been losing, then when you ask about those that win constantly you will see that they will shally reply well the way they are supposed to reply, so in conclusion gambling is a side hustle for some people and also a full time job for many.

When you are quoting, you can reduce the text and take only the area you want to quote. Cut all the other sentences. Well I don't know of full time job and I don't think people can take it in full time job but some country gamblers might take it like that, because some countries gamble more than the others But I know that it is a side hustle base on it nature.

That doesn’t make any sense. I still can’t wrap my head around how you believed base on nature of gambling, that gambling is a side hustle. What about gambling makes it a side hustle? You said in the OP that people are making money from gambling, and that’s true but the point is that gambling is not a sustainable source of income and can quickly become an unhealthy vice when treated as a primary/secondary job.

You are not making money from gambling does not mean other are not cashing out. We have different luck in gambling. From all the examples I have shown. I want to know your experience and opinion if gambling is a side hustle or not. I need general opinion on the argument.

I don’t really consider gambling a side hustle in any way, because a hustle is something you do to make money, not lose it. In gambling, the system is actually designed for you to lose in the long run, so there is a clear contradiction there. For sure, some people might win occasionally and even make money for a while, but that does not make it a reliable source of income. To me, it’s more of something or an activity use to entertain the brain, because you can’t depend on it consistently like you would with a real hustle.
