Exactly, once a gambler begin to find passion in gambling and finds it comfortable to play on, then it automatically becomes a hobby but then depends on the gamblers to be aware that the passionate ness can lead to addiction. So taking note of that can vary depending on individuals to be able to control their attentions to gambling as it may be hurt if uncontrollable.

Yes, if gambling is considered as a hobby, then there must be a lot of capital involved. It is never possible to make ends meet without money If gambling is a hobby, you must have enough money with which you can continue gambling as a hobby.  People most of the time consider many things as their hobbies, especially as we know that people have many hobbies in their daily life that they try to fulfill. But there are many people who consider gambling as their hobby, but I think this is not a good sign at all. If many consider it good, but some people lose money here when they indulge in gambling to fulfill their little. If one goes into gambling with their money to relieve the boredom of life, then it is not good at all, but it is certain to turn into addiction from here. So I think if a person is in depression who wants to get rid of the tiredness of life then surely there are many things for him that he can look into as a hobby, and can do, but gambling should not be taken as a hobby.

Yes, you are absolutely correct, as we are thinking is hobby, slowly we are becoming an addict without us even knowing, and that will cause us a huge side effects in our lives, so as we take it as hobby, let's trend with cautious to avoid end up regretting for all the days of our lives and also end up losing much money, and I don't even buy the idea of taking gambling as a hobby because I don't think it will end up in a positive way. So while taking gambling has a hobby, let's also make use of gambling principle to make us to gamble responsibly.

In general, we talk a lot about, let’s say, the philosophy of gambling.  Gambling itself, after all, originated in the early stages of the development of civilization and has been successfully preserved to this day.  And I am sure that the generations following us will also play gambling with passion and interest in the future.  Of course they will play more modern and interesting games.  We must admit that the desire to gamble is initially inherent in human psychology and this is something that requires some kind of solution.  It’s just that gamblers have a very strong desire for gambling.  And for other people this attraction is suppressed by their psyche.  It is precisely people who are passionate about the game who can consider this game their hobby.     And by the way, this often helps players explain their passion for gambling to other people who are indifferent to the game.  But they have other hobbies and this makes a very clear comparison. 

Although, of course, really serious gambling requires quite a lot of money.  This is worth recognizing and taking into account.

That can makes our life in a risks that we can't imagine as making gambling as a hobby needs more money. We must prepares much money to fills our desires to playing gambling. We must have big capital if we use gambling as a hobby and that just makes us lose the money without takes too long. So that's why we must remember that we don't have to use gambling as a hobby but gambling is just one of our activities that we can use to fills our spare time. But we must have the other activities that we can use it so we don't have to lose much money when we playing gambling because we knows that playing gambling is just needs some money that we can afford to lose. What our concern is how we can treats gambling as an entertainment so we don't have to use much money because we wants to stay away from the big risks.

Indeed, gambling can forget about problems or can be a game of entertainment when we are tired from working all day and it can be fun if you can win some money when gambling, but if you lose, are you sure you can enjoy the gambling happily? Wouldn't that make you even more tired and stressed if your money was drained while playing gambling? What was originally intended for entertainment instead, you ended up spending your money and you would only get more stressed, there are hobbies that don't require spending money or risk losing, but why do people choose to use their money? or maybe they need a challenge so they make gambling a hobby?

Indeed, everyone has different types of hobbies depending on which hobby they want to play, but for me, making gambling as a hobby is an activity that is too risky. There are many types of fun hobbies that are not too risky, so it's better for me to choose a game other than gambling and use it only sometimes when I really want to gamble, even though it's actually quite fun, it doesn't really excite me.

There is some category of people who are working as shills for casinos. They are gambling on casinos' chips rather than  on own money thus are free to lose or win at any moment  the aim being to provoke hobbyists. They receive salary from casinos so for  shills  gambling is definitely a profession. I believe internally they even  hate gambling  seeing  as casinos manipulate them.

Taking gambling as a hobby is never a good thing bacause to my own understanding hobby is something you love doing which is why i think it not possible even though the money is there, it will gradually become an addicted to gambling, the person that took gambling as hobby really have to be careful because not all hobbies can be control especially when it comes to gamble, it not very difficult to pertake in it that why the player have to take caution, all it takes is to get the money and start it.

That's right, the point is that if we have a hobby, whether in gambling or sports, where we have to spend money, then a good step is to limit the money in doing the hobby itself because it is something that requires money to carry out the activity, so as much as possible we have to be smart about it. limits how well we spend that money.
Besides that, we will not be too burdened if we want to carry out a hobby that we like and of course we will enjoy it in a relaxed and comfortable manner.

I’d like to ask, would you mind always given the profits from your wins to someone you don’t know, I’m taking about charity. I am not asking you to do that already, but will you (if you were asked to)? If you say no, then you really care about the money. So when you talk about budget and self control, it doesn’t mean you aren’t a gambler, it just means you’re a responsible one.

Yes, if someone considers gambling as a hobby then he must be able to control himself to play with that hobby, especially as the hobby of gambling has risks which we know that everyone will definitely lose money there, it is not much different from other hobbies where every other hobby activity is also spending money too, the point is that limiting the budget is the most important thing to ensure that the hobby can be carried out well, so once once is not a problem as long as it is not every day and if you keep playing it without a break it will definitely get boring.

I also always think that people should consider gambling as just entertainment and a place to have fun, for example, consider it as a hobby, nothing more, usually when people experience defeat they always chase and try to recover their losses, but if our mindset considers gambling as Hobbyists will usually consider losing as a normal thing, like other hobbies it can be fun and we also spend money for that fun, for me personally gambling should be on the weekend, 2 days a week would be better, that's enough.

You don't need to be forced to do a hobby because if you play a hobby every day then I think after a long time you will feel bored and fed up, it is better to do a hobby in a time-spaced manner, for example, a sports hobby, then only twice a week, if your hobby is gambling, you can play it twice a day. course and I don't think we will get bored of doing it in the long run.
But here again, according to each person's view, a hobby like gambling does pose a high risk, but he has to accept the negative side because he has the courage to choose this hobby in his daily life.

It is true that we enjoy gambling but the joy is always initiated because there is money involved I don't see the reason why I would gamble when am not entitled to win anything, if you look at what people do just because they want to win money from gambling it will surprise you, and when they are eager to win they are always looking for steps to go wild on gambling and they still doing things that will surprise you like selling their property and even borrowing money if not that they possessed if you sell the house you are living in were do you sleep the victim will definitely be kicked out of that house to the street. so we should not allow how self be overwhelmed by the wins that gambling comes with.  so in a nutshell gambling is only a hobby because of the money involved in it. it is better not to overdo everything and gamble the little you can even if it involves risk. As much as I love gambling I use my head wisely because I know the implication that comes with when you don't apply sense when you are gambling.

Yes or simply we can say that gambling is an expensive hobby that requires a gambler to always spend money if they want to do the activity in the long run, or as long as they want to stay involved in the activity. And yes it is true that everyone has their own luck in them that can lead them to victory at certain times that might make them manage to get a return or recovery from the amount of losses they have experienced. And actually I would say that it's fine to take up gambling as a hobby as long as you know and understand what gambling is all about as well as acknowledge and realize that gambling is an activity that requires us to spend money and also has the possibility of risks that can make us lose money.

Because this is what responsible gamblers do as we often mention where they gamble with the intention and purpose of filling empty time by looking for entertainment, and basically quite a lot of other activities or other hobbies that do require a person to spend personal money which is one of them as you mentioned such as collecting antiques or other hobbies, and as long as you have the ability to do it then no problem but it is also necessary to understand and know that something in excess is always not good, and this is what is made a limit so that our hobbies do not interfere with our lives in various aspects.

It's not bad to gamble or make gambling a hobby, it's just that in my opinion, if they make gambling a hobby, it might actually be the wrong approach, where they will continue to spend a certain amount of money to gamble and of course a hobby is something that is done based on pleasure, but I The feeling of gambling will not always make you happy. making gambling a hobby in my opinion is their approach to becoming addicted to gambling. and of course that will have a bad impact. unless they can really control themselves, and I think making gambling as a hobby is only suitable for rich people who have a lot of money, because they probably won't worry when their gambling ends in disappointment.

but unfortunately not many people can really control themselves well when gambling, even those who gamble for fun just have changed their goal to pursuing victory, this indicates that gambling does have a strong attraction that can change everything when it's done. It's true what you said, when you become addicted to gambling, it will be difficult to get rid of it.

In general, I would say that gambling is a separate class of hobbies that we all regard as a hobby.  This is a hobby that still forces a person to spend money in the long run.  But of course this does not happen to all players; there are also lucky ones who won a lot of money.  But the majority of players still pay for the pleasure and this money goes to the casino’s treasury. 
By the way, those hobbies for which you need to pay also include, for example, collecting all kinds of things or art objects.  And therefore, not all people can afford such a hobby.  Especially those who live so poorly that they simply cannot spend anything on gambling.

Gambling as a hobby may not be bad. There are many people who gamble as a hobby. But if you take gambling as bad i.e. become addicted to gambling then it can become terrible for you.
So those who take up gambling as a hobby should gamble responsibly i.e. should not become addicted to it.
Gambling is like an addiction, the more you gamble the more addicted and addicted you become to gambling. Before gambling we must think that we can lose our money completely from this gambling. If everyone has this mentality then maybe he will play with responsibility and not get addicted to gambling.
When someone gets addicted to bad habits like gambling, he cannot get out of it easily. Gambling is such a bad habit I have seen some of my acquaintances who gamble regularly even when their family asks them to quit gambling, they quarrel ie they refuse to quit gambling.

That's the right approach but there's a chance that those who think it is only their hobby can also be addicted to it especially when they feel that they are winning.
I mean, that's how traps are made. Gambling sites will try to let you win at the beginning and you will think of it like it is a rookie's luck. It's not. It's a way to get more players and they are actually successful at doing it.
Just looking at how big the gambling industry is now either in sports betting or in casino games, they must have done something right that would make a gambler go back over and over again.
At first, I also thought that it was just an occasional hobby for me but right now I am actually checking the odds of my favorite sports every day, I think I have not missed one and I think I will only miss it when there's no game happening.

Gambling is a game that can make people forget their problems or things that make them tired, so it can be used as a hobby, but you have to have a lot of capital if you make gambling a hobby, but most people are very reluctant to take up gambling. because it is full of risks if you know or become a gambling addict, it is better to just play to relieve fatigue rather than having to do it as a necessity of life.

For gamble being a hobby is not bad if you are they type that gambles responsibly and always risk what you know you can always afford to lose even if you are rich, poor or average earner. Making gamble your hobby can only be bad if you are addicted and you don't also agree with people that you are addicted then that's bad.
