This will be a long discussion.

It shouldn't be. There is really nothing to discuss.

Recreational activity means where skill and analysis works that is why poker and sports betting is accepted as recreational activity but in gambling like dice game or casino gambling it is purely based on luck and their is not strategy which will give you profit. because in the end the site only wins if you are playing for long term, but in sports betting or poker if you play as per the strategy and analysis in long term you will see that you are in good profit.

I guess it's fine if we will consider gambling as a recreational activity but this will be a big debate for those sports man. They may say that gambling shouldn't be considered as it since sports is just a total game of fitness and mind it doesn't have some wager on it. This will be a long discussion.

We need to accept that natural order of things can't be changed. Gambling was treated as sin or low form of entertainment since the dawn of time.
There is no way that people would suddenly change their opinion about gambling and start to respect it.

It would be very hard since gambling mainly focuses on monetary bets and would make anyone fall to greediness. You can gamble with sports but seldom can you make gambling a sport. The fact that we can't teach or promote gambling to minors tells us a lot about why gambling will remain the way it is now.

Valid point, let's keep gambling as gambling and not any recreational activity. Gambling isn't anything bad for the one who is psyched and have sound understanding but the greedy and unprepared. If there's nothing wrong with gambling then there's no need to change it unless the OP is seeking to suggest gambling is not good and hence the need for an alternative.

You could get gambling recognized as a recreational activity and some point of your life if though it would be pretty tough to do so.
You could try to purchase your own uninhabited Private Island and start a civilization there then legalize gambling and make it a regular sport for the people living there. I know it might seems pretty impossible to do though there isn't any global gambling policy that restricts people from making their own gambling laws from outside the government jurisdiction.

i think it would not be classified as a recreational activity but rather a hobby. recreational activites are things we do after long weeks of work where we need to be alone or with our someone without stressing our self. gambling is different than other sports but it gives stress. and sports features years of training and physical or mental fitness as to gambling where u can base it on lucks or any rituals u do to get that luck.

Because gambling doesn't have any other productive benefits to the victim apart from anxiety and depression ? There is no cure to addiction but the addiction itself. Recreational activities do come from a factor that establishes psychological/emotional ways of boycotting addictions but with absolute zero chances.

Gambling is very different from sport activities. Sports game requires a lot, first is physical and it also need strategy to win the game unlike in gamble games, you don't need to exert effort to achieve it but only sitting and watching...

How about the game like chess and esports ? It only requires you to sit and watch too. Imo gambling games that could be near to becoming a sport are card games like poker because i've been seeing some competitive tournaments like wsop.

I don't think it will be possible to modify entirely with what intention people are going for gambling. For centuries, human are into gambling so it would take another few centuries to make them to change how they are treating gambling.
It will not be that easy for most of the gamblers to accept that gambling is not for profit making. For generations we are into gambling with this kind of intention and accepting gambling for recreational activity, will be tougher one.

Sorry but this is a futile idea. Sports are common games that exert one's physical or intellectual effort (like e-sports nowadays) which is a different thing to gambling that reside into two things: money risk and luck. Moreover, sports requires people to be attached in training to win the pot. Its prior is strength and other abilities not just luck (drawing a good card in poker, getting good dice rolls etc).

It is impossible because gambling is banned in some countries, but which sports is banned in any country? Sports is hazard-free, not like gambling can cause social issues.

As said gambling at times cause social issues when goes out of hands. In Countries where gambling is completely banned will serve as a major legal issue. For this reason it is good to consider it an regular activity with limitations on usage. If considered as an recreational activity sure user gets frustrated if loss happens unexpected.

We supposed to treat gambling as a fun purposes but greed is also in human nature once you feel the victory you will want more and keep on telling yourself that if you bet more then you will win more, when an activity related to money it will be difficult to not involve emotion and greed, and this is also the reason why people addicted to gambling, so only some people can treat gambling as recreational purpose

Gambling should be seen as game in fact gambling and games are the same because it all goes down to the same thing fun and entertainment. Many gambler treat gambling as a source of getting super rich therefore using and thinks it to be a source of income and if they lose now see gambling as evil. Focusing on it been because of profit will make gambling look like ponzi schemes.

You can't. You can however make games like poker a bit recreational. Gambling is gambling, and its criticized in every culture. With poker, when you see someone getting consistent results and you show that to the people who believe its pure luck, then you can change their point of view.

I agree with ajaxmoor here. I am also a poker player and every now and then whenever I tell my friends its a no win game because its a gamble, I play a few hands in front of them and try to read opponent cards. I did it with my father too, and he stopped saying that I was a gambler. But if I play blackjack and try the same, they will straight away tell me that I am up over my head. It just won't get accepted in the society.

well it is not, and no matter how many people try too hard to come up with a new deffinition or description of gambling, the reality of it will never change. it will always stay as the same as before, a destructive but very thrilling activity.
this doesn't mean you can't control anything or even can't have fun. you can but gambling will always remain destructive.
