If you say you are a passionate gambling, someone will not hesitate to think that you gamble everyday too. If you have passion for a lady, doesn't that mean your emotion will be attached to her and you either hate her or lover her. If you handle same love passion for gambling, you can also become addicted or a non gambler if you have the passion of hate.
I think some people just use different words to refer to the same thing, especially if they're not at a native level of writing. I mean your description of gambling every day is referred to the quoted member as a "hobby", while it is actually deeper than that. So we should focus more on the description instead of the word. At the end of the day, a description is required so you can make the standard to judge whether an activity belongs to that group or not.

From passion to hobby to addiction ...I think this are the 3 steps of gambling and for a lot of gamblers the first two doesn't exist. However , gambling should be treated as a passion and a hobby but as long as you don't bet a lot ( i rarely have bets over 10$ ) , I think it's fair to say that gambling is more of a passion than a hobby. Being a hobby means you will bet daily right ? and betting daily will form an addiction...
Not sure if every player who bets daily is experiencing problem gambling currently. Gambling has limitations which must be enforced by the gambler to escape addiction. However, it's risky, gambling everyday. All days are not same for everyone. Some days could get so exhausting but the player still wants to fulfil his daily gambling hobby. Such reccuring behavior would get worse if the player doesn't stop for a break. It depends on the player's will power towards his self control. Looking at the differences on your response regarding gambling as a passion. Personally I'd say passion is something one can't let go in a lifetime. Gambling as a passion looks riskier in my view.

Passion also means having a strong or extreme desire about something. If you say you are a passionate gambling, someone will not hesitate to think that you gamble everyday too. If you have passion for a lady, doesn't that mean your emotion will be attached to her and you either hate her or lover her. If you handle same love passion for gambling, you can also become addicted or a non gambler if you have the passion of hate.
Gambling can be considered a hobby for some people, as it involves participating in various games of chance or skill for entertainment purposes. Like other hobbies, gambling can provide enjoyment, excitement, and social interaction. However, it's important to approach gambling responsibly and in moderation, as it also carries the risk of addiction and financial loss. As with any hobby, individuals should assess their motivations, set limits, and prioritize their overall well-being.
from my understanding in gambling I have not seen gambling as a hobby but we see a gambling as entertainment so whoever that says or saying that the gambling can be a hobby it is based on the person's understanding towards gambling for me tumbling is an entertainment that we use to check our lock to know if we are a lucky somebody that can be able to win something based on Opportunity so I believe that gambling is all about entertainment and also a desire personally it has to do with the advantages and the disadvantages so something that you lose mostly cannot be your hobby from my own way of understanding gambling and also differentiate it from other thingsFor me honestly I can't consider that gambling is a hobby and the reason is as I said above that it is too risky to be a hobby, although I know that being a responsible gambler can minimize the possibility of bad things that are not wanted but in the end it is not uncommon to see gamblers who are initially responsible and come only for entertainment but in the end they become an impulsive gambler who turns entertainment into tension and pressure, and yes it is probably better to make gambling an activity to test how lucky we are by coming in occasionally when we have some money to lose.

You mentioned an important point, I think that every hobby, especially involving betting, should be treated with great care so as not to become an addiction, but it's difficult for someone to refrain from spending more than they earn on betting.In crypto trading, for example, the altcoin market is practically a bet, I'm even afraid of investing my money in them, as I often won't have time to look at the chart all day, but it's very pleasurable to see their gains after days of decline. Referring to the derivatives market. I want to do this a hobby, when I have more time, 'course.
When we turn a profitable activity into a hobby, it becomes more pleasurable to do something we enjoy.
So, even when betting, it's recommended to enjoy it, but beware of addiction and never bet more than you should.
We should never go to the pot thirsty. When we do what we like, even our work becomes a hobby, something enjoyable to do.
The point is that hobbies don't require a lot of money for us to enjoy because each person has a different point of view when it comes to spending money on hobbies they like. If gambling is considered a hobby then they should be able to control themselves so as not to get addicted and not spend money irresponsibly. So if people are unable to control themselves, gambling, which was previously considered a hobby, will actually turn this activity into chaos.So, even when betting, it's recommended to enjoy it, but beware of addiction and never bet more than you should.
We should never go to the pot thirsty. When we do what we like, even our work becomes a hobby, something enjoyable to do.
If something is fun to do, we must consciously know the impact, but if someone has reached the stage of addiction then it can no longer be interpreted as a hobby because the person is no longer able to control themselves and it will cause more problems.
Of course gambling is a hobby, take a look with the definition of hobby.
We've been discussed so many times that gamble is for fun i.e. pleasure and it should be played when you have a free time i.e. not busy, not working. But, there are many people wrong about gambling since they gamble to make money and they treat gambling as one of their job.

The preference thing is still the right answer without a doubt. To me it is a hobby and I like it and I am going to keep doing it. For some people it's addiction, they gamble and lose money and they can't stop themselves and they keep gambling more and more.
However, for some people it's business, they end up gambling to make money, it could be straight from gambling but not at casino games instead at stuff like poker and such, or it could be that they stream it and make money that way, basically it's a job for them. So, this question changes answer depending on who you ask it, but I can respond just for myself and say that it is definitely a hobby for me, I am not getting anything out of this aside from just some fun.

That will be wrong if they considers gambling as a hobby because they will needs to have much money to playing gambling. A hobby is something that we often doing and if that hobby is gambling, we must see how many times we playing gambling and how much money we will used. If you can thinks about that, you will see gambling is an expensive hobby because you must prepare some money to playing gambling and that can disturb your financial if you used too much money to playing gambling. Gambling can provides enjoyment, excitements, and other things but you must knows that gambling can also gives a negative effect to yourself. Not to mention if you becomes addicted to gambling because you can't manage your time and money to playing gambling. It's better not to used gambling as a hobby instead just an activity which is the same as the other activity. Well, that's right, you have said it simply but correctly that the difference between work and hobbies is clear, namely that work is a necessity that must always be done even if it is forced because only then will we have income to survive, while a hobby is something that It involves more desires, where usually our goal in doing this hobby is for our psychological needs so that we feel happy or excited, which can help reduce feelings of stress within ourselves due to your routine daily activities such as work.
As we discussed, hobbies involve desire and maybe we can also say that gambling can be made into a hobby if our intention and goal is only to seek pleasure, but I think that making gambling a hobby is too risky and dangerous, because there are many temptations in gambling. It is very possible to make someone fall into it unconsciously and turn pleasure into pressure and tension, therefore I think it is not advisable to make gambling a hobby.
On the other hand, yes I understand what you mean and maybe I will also admit that work can be a hobby and a hobby can also be a job that provides income if the person really takes it seriously, as we know that painting or drawing is a hobby and sometimes it is not uncommon to see some of those who succeed who can become famous painters with satisfying work and have high selling value. But before we talk further we also have to examine what the hobby is about, look at it from various sides, painting is just spending time but gambling? yes obviously this can spend your money no matter how little in an instant no matter how good self-control you have because after all gambling is a risk-taking activity, but yes overall I can't prohibit it because as you said that everyone has their own perspective.
Do you think that someone who treats gambling as a hobby is an impulsive person? Do you think that someone who treats gambling as a hobby is a person who cannot control himself?, speaking of risk it depends on each individual, all have an understanding that the standard is not to do things that can worsen his situation is a good step, my point is not to see just because gambling has sensitive things and can change a person very easily does not mean that there are no people who can manage themselves in gambling and not make it into addiction and other problems.

As with any hobby, individuals should assess their motivations, set limits, and prioritize their overall well-being.
In the beginning, yes, it can be a hobby, but later, when you get used to it, it can lead to a gambling habit. Which, I think, is not good either.
Maybe it's okay to have a hobby if you only do it once in a while. Sometimes we don't even realize that we get into addiction.
However, maybe it still depends on the individual and how they manage it. That's why what I'm saying is just my opinion. Because I only gamble once.
So at least it can be said that it's just a hobby.
I don't think that gambling can ruin a person's life if it remains a hobby. If gambling begins to become an addiction, then yes, it can ruin the life of a person and his loved ones.
That's where it is going. A simple hobby that's becoming an addiction is what the many lives have been destroyed and that's why it is not easy for someone to make gambling as a hobby without expecting to become addicted to it. Normal people usually channel their hobbies into various positive and productive activities or fun but with great benefits such as exercising, but if it is gambling then they have to be prepared for the risks and impacts they have to accept.
It is not easy to exclude yourself from gambling addiction and not all gamblers can do it.
I know people who treat betting and gambling as a hobby. They bet small amounts of money and do it infrequently, maybe several times a month, as I understand they enjoy it and do not suffer if they lose money.
I believe there is a difference between a hobby and an addiction. A hobby does not have negative consequences, but addiction can ruin a person’s life, as you were told earlier
Those kind of gamblers understand that they're gambling to have fun and they're controlling themselves as much as they can because if not, they're doing things the wrong way. So, gamble always and with the hope of winning some but don't forget that gambling is just on your side when you have lost your control. The emotional control and thought of you as a gambler will determine what kind of person you are and the tolerance that you have as you gamble and avoid the temptation of being addicted to it. But with the common results, we've seen this kind of hobby ends up into a serious gambling addiction.I believe there is a difference between a hobby and an addiction.

They are just having fun and they are obviously using some money and it will never be problem when it is lost, plus they are just playing or betting for fun and entertainment.
This is an attitude that is very rarely found in most gamblers, I think there are only very few gamblers like that.
A hobby is something that is seen as something very Frequent , very periodic , Doing it in this order of things can be frowned upon if you are in a casino, or if you are in one of the things like sports betting, there is always more frequency than one. activity like this, well yes , it is Dangerous, so if we see it that way it is risky, so we have to try to minimize it, I would see a somewhat simpler pass, but if it is a person who works in an office and has little free time, well Yes , it can be something to distract yourself, as long as that free time is not for hours, so that You do not lose as much money, just as you can , but sometimes it is not good to risk so Much since things can get very difficult after playing.
what I think is that. A hobby is something that is done frequently and of course the aim is to make us happy because a hobby is something that we like, but if the thing we like can potentially harm us or be dangerous, I think it's best not to make it a hobby, like gambling. because not only me, I'm even sure other people know that gambling can be detrimental, and can also attract many people because of its strong attraction so that many people fall too deep into gambling and experience losses.with gambling which usually ends in defeat perhaps it can trigger our emotions even if gambling is someone's hobby, because in my opinion of course no one can accept losing more often, or find pleasure in losing in gambling. Considering the risks involved in gambling, in my opinion it's not a game, it's best not to make gambling a hobby.

Yes, for some, gambling is a favorite hobby.
They love to fight fate, they love to take risks. They experience positive emotions when luck is on their side and they win in a game of chance.
At the same time, the possible loss of money does not upset them much. Such people have a very good income (highly paid employment or their own business).
Their bet in the game is a small share of the family budget. In such conditions, gambling can become an interesting and favorite hobby.

Gambling can be our hobby since its al about fun, we cannot deny having fun through the process and this also can be part of what we love to do, something we often do and finds interest in can be termed as an hobby, so i don't see it a bad thing when we also accept that gambling is part of our hobby because we can make having fun as an hobby as well during our leisure, betting is also part of the fun and we don't mind the cost for that inasmuch that our satisfaction is achieved.
It's a valuable thing to take our jobs seriously. Gambling is to be done during breaks and after work. There is always a time for gambling. Nothing like a player doesn't have time. Even after sleeping, a player can devise two hours off his time to wager in online casinos. Then play more when free during the weekend. It's a sign that the player enjoys gambling as a hobby. Wagering in the office doesn't show responsible gambling. Our hobby shouldn't derail a person's success in his place of work.
You are Absolutely right about What a job is, we in a job must take it seriously in any aspect, because things are made very known so that they can Generate many good things, of course, if we look for people who are willing to work , we need the company that gives you all the Contribution for your Company, and that Implies that all the energies are Focused on doing well at work without any Type of Distractions, in this case the Casino and the game , it is a hobby without a Doubt , but in the event that this is not the case, it is not done During hours Outside of work, During free hours or Something like that , but never in collisions, I think that is what should always be Emphasized.
