We can make this happen, but most of all people shouldn't be getting themselves more binded to play gambling as a sources of their profit. That's why most people who think critically doesn't accept this kind of activity a form of recreational activity, besides they've been having an impression of money wasting.

You cannot.

Because gambling takes no brain, no skills, nothing required to play it. It is only about luck.

If you want to be a successful athlete, you need to practice. You need to educate yourself. To be a successful gambler, all you need is luck.

That is too much to say that gambling takes no brain or skills, we have some professional poker players that use their skills to win. I concur that some games are only based on luck but there are other games that will test your knowledge and skills

But for the topic I do not think it's going to happen, gambling has been seen as a bad thing for centuries. This quo-notation has been influenced by religion, media, etc. There are things that we cannot change and I think perception in gambling will not change.

some people are using gambling as their recreational activity and they don't think too much about to win the games. all they want to do is to enjoy the game, they don't expect to be a winner but if somehow they are winning, then they will consider this as a bonus for them. I have seen a person that only gambling for searching a fun and I take a look in his games, he play a poker too in facebook and he makes a lot of chips but he doesn't think about selling his chip or cash out the chip (if he can). he wants to use his time with his friends in the table and he can control his emotion while he does not win.
I do believe that recreational activity will always depend person to person. Remember the poker is a sport just like chess and even nowadays computer games. So we can for sure consider gambling as a recreational activity, as long as the person is actually entertained and does enjoy the game it should be considered as such. Although, not all gambling games should be considered, something like dice, slots, roulette and other ones are completely out of the question and they are not recreational and just purely gambling.

Gambling for me not category as a sports game. Actually people play gambling to seek profits from gambling.
Sports game have a rule, nourish our bodies, and many positive benefit we can get from sports game.

That is correct. Most of the people who gamble regularly are for money not for enjoyment because if they lose money then they can't enjoy so they will enjoy gambling only when they make money from this game. But sports is different you just go there to spend your time and get refreshed after playing those sports games.
Some finds gambling more thrilling since they knew somehow if fate allow them, they might able to earn. It uses it as their way to spend more time and effort thinking that enjoyment, money and thrill can be found. While in sports it might only cause getting tired and sometimes boring especially if were not really into it. It is somehow a passion that needs determination and most of the time people now wher only into money not more on getting fit.   that's why they keep on coming on casinos or plays online for their ease and convenient in short being stubborn in having passion.

It is the possible when gambling is available for free of cost. It means you do not need to spend money for gambling at the same time you could never expect making money from gambling. In this case gambling will turn something similar to playing video-games or watching a thriller movie.

For recreational purposes, lots of proven methods are available hence I do believe there will be no need of considering alterations to gambling behaviors for recreational purchases. Let the gambling serve its original purposes.

I had the same thoughts however most people gamble precisely for the money. The element of fun and entertainment would be gone for the gamblers if there weren't any money involved. Perhaps if a token system were to be created, which would be similar to money however it has no monetary value involved. In a way, I think that gambling is already somewhat recreational because people do it to have a good time and even 'relax'. Some people have already resorted to gambling just for fun and to enjoy themselves.

I don't think its really possible to implement such scenario. Gambling is gambling and you can't have recreational activity with it. Its based on luck as opposed to sport games were you need to sharpen not only your body in mind.

Lets takes for example BINGO, some consider it just a recreational activity, but when it starts to involved money, then its pure gambling. That game is very popular among Asian country however, it turns out to be recreational in the beginning but when gamblers found a way to make it a business, then later it becomes one of the most lucrative gambling business.
I didnt really see that any gambling games can really be treated as a recreational activity because if we do talk gambling then its purely involving money.If it doesnt then it isnt gambling at all.Regarding about that bingo game you do say i have seen such thing which is really enjoyable but playing it without involvement of money wont really be entertaining at all.

When we think of sports or the olympics, it is composed of individuals who have sheer knowledge and skills about the said sport. They are trained since birth and they rely on their confidence and SKILL rather than something that cannot be controlled, which is LUCK. Gambling is an activity that primarily deals with luck. Since its nature is relatively based on odds, regardless of your skill or physique, if it isn't your day you are bound to lose. Why would gambling be a sport when there is no competition at all?

One might argue that poker takes some serious skill for you to manipulate other people and it is also being televised around the world. But again, you cannot control the cards being shown at the table. All require some luck for you to win.

In sports the mainly tge physical aspect is important while in gambling the case is not the same.

But in both fields, you play and then win or lose, its just that one is seen as a healthy and recreational sport while the other is seen as game only for money holders.

At present it is not the scene anymore. Everyone and anyone can enjoy gambling today because of the availability of so many avenues and platforms online these days.

With this advent of digitization, gambling may possibly be made equal to other sports. Both are anyways same. You win or you lose, and get prize/money accordingly.

Gambling is crime in terms of law
No, it's not. Speak for your country only.
but since more rich people push it because they want to enjoy their money, they make it legal thru help casinos.
I am not sure from where are you picking these false information, but if it's legal to gamble it certainly isn't because some rich guy wants to gamble nor it is because county want to help casinos, it is because they want to take as much taxes they can.
Maybe they make it because they want to control they people who become addicted in gambling.
I am pretty sure that is the reason why gambling is not legal in some countries.
I would like to have the same reactions on what he was claiming on here which i didnt even know on what kind of ideas on his mind regarding on gambling site existence which it isnt really relying on those rich people. If gambling sites is considered crime then we wont able to see gambling sites as of now which means this thing is only possible or do exist on some countries but not generally.I agree on the fact that government would really allow such business because they would really benefited.
Gambling sites are still alive because of their millions of users and fame also. These sites are under the eyes of government of specific country to which the sit belongs but they don’t ban it or block it because these sites are paying taxes for the enhancement of the country, not only taxes but the heavy ones. Why would the government ban it as they are not giving the harm to the people who are addicted to it.

There is really no sure way to do it actually. Because every person has their own personalities and it is up to them to think what gambling is. We cannot persuade or force them to think gambling is just a recreational activity. We cannot even change their mind just by informing it. Just like in our country all cigarette boxes are required to have images of diseases but it does not affect their sales, we even have an excise tax for cigarettes yet it did not stop them of buying it.

The purpose will always depend on the mindset of the player. Playing gambling by nature needs an amount of money or fund. Just like sports game also. However, in sports it is likely associated with recreational activities as the individual needs to do it more on physically. In gambling the mindset will always be the money to win. For those with existing funds may play it for fun or recreational. But most likely, gambling and sports are somewhat similar, you win or loose.
Yes, because we have different levels of entertainment reaction. As for me in order to make gambling as a recreational activity then every gambling must be re design the system on how it was being played like that it will be incorporated in a battle games and you have a betting amount in every games, then in that way i think that is more fun.
Basically, that's the essence where your play and hoping that the outcome would be the positive one but it can't be all the time like that. Having fun could mean to different people and gambling may not be the one for everyone but it sure is fun to play card games because that's what I and my friends do most of the time.

I really don't see this happening ever. Do you even realise what you just asked people to do. You wish that people consider gambling as a sport, excuse me but sports and gambling can and never should be compared, it takes efforts, pain, and a lot in sports, while we gamblers look forward to leisure and earning quick bucks and these sportsperson do it with pride. So i would not really support such a stupid idea.

By definition, gambling can fall under recreational activity since activities that involve recreation are often done for enjoyment, amusement, pleasure or simply put into something fun.
This means that sex can be a recreational activity. It involves pleasure, enjoyment, amusement, some sports too, and it's good for your health. Maybe we should be advertising sex in the mainstream media? Remember to have a good fuck every day, it's good for you! Brought to you by Vixen Brothels, eager girls every day!  Grin Grin Grin

I don't think gambling will ever be accepted normal sports activity ever. As in any sport(indoor or outdoor) have some benefit with it whether at physical or mental level. But gambling does not have any benefits like it but it makes a person addicted to it, lazy and sometimes anxious also.
So I don't think gambling can be compared to any sports or a recreational activity because of its harmful side-effects on a social and personal life of a person.

It shouldn't be considered as an accepted recreational activity, just be realistic, what would be the purpose of making it look like a MOBA or just like any other sport's game?

It makes no sense, if you gamble, you will lose money, and if you are lucky enough you can earn some money, it should't be a game and it would never be.

Maybe poker and all those games who require skills could be considered as one.. but it is still so far away from us at the moment.
