My view was a long epistle that I wouldn't want to bug anyone with even as my external sources confirmed hobby as a good addiction. Regardless, I don't want to limit this to my understanding, I want you guys to share your opinions as well.

I don’t think that any unprofitable activity on which a person becomes addicted can be positive. Another thing is the very fact that a particular person is able to actively get carried away by something. If today it’s gambling and tomorrow it’s something useful in which he can improve and reach heights, then this is, of course, positive. My point of view is that if a person is addicted on something (actively, in the sense that he actually does something and does not dream) then this is better than if he goes with the flow and is not addicted on anything.

Addiction is harmful to one's health directly or indirectly which makes it not to be in the positive side but negative side because you are losing money all the time and you cannot control yourself to stop gambling. People that can benefit from the positive side of gambling are not addicted to gambling.

Addiction can ruin a gamblers life or even lead the gambler to taking his own life due to frustration, poverty and abandonment by family members. There is nothing positive that can come out from gambling addiction. You lose, your money, sense of thinking and maybe your loved ones.

Addiction is bad, I am not gonna backup any kind of addiction does something good even if someone is addicted to studying. The literal meaning of addiction is one can't live without doing that activity so if someone can't live without gambling on daily basis then he needs a rehab. Making money is secondary and it happens with rarest of people but most of them just lose their money in the long run cause that's how gambling works.

If you see someone is doing without able to control then give them a warning like take a break for a while.

Yes hobbies are like good addiction because the person will like the hobby and like to do it frequently. But it is called hobby because such thing will help his life and health. Something like playing football, going for finishing and the likes. But if that thing is harming the person, it would be seen as addiction. If someone is noticing that he is gambling in a way that it is demanding too much time from him, the person will only notice losses. The more the person is gambling and betting, the more the losses. The people that win from gambling and betting are not doing it frequently and they are not addicted to it.

As the title reads, I want us to come to a reasonable conclusion about this addiction of a thing in gambling by arguing it back and forth. Many months ago, I was in an argument with a user about the fact that the addiction to gambling can't only be negative as many people portray it. I relied on the grounds that if some gamblers could regularly earn in sports betting, while others derive fun and take gambling as their hobby, are they not deriving a positive goal there? Is that not a positive addiction?

I further argued that everything mustn't have to be about money to make it positive or negative. Some kinds of gambling and gaming relieve stress in some people and give them the desired happiness. This goes a long way depending on the mindset we played it.

My view was a long epistle that I wouldn't want to bug anyone with even as my external sources confirmed hobby as a good addiction. Regardless, I don't want to limit this to my understanding, I want you guys to share your opinions as well.
