full-time job? That's crazy! I'm just wondering, how often they get them winnings - that they decided to dedicate thier whole life innit? It's pretty much like a small scale business anyways; they gotta wager their home appliances along side when they run short of funds..hahahaha!!!
No. You are getting it wrong. It is not like they dedicate their whole existence to it. For those in this category, it is just like a 9 - 5. And mind you, they do not all wager. The ones I know of aren't addicted. It is only the addicts that wager personal effects. Those who take gambling as a career, have goals and plans just like you would on your regular jobs. Some of the them have YouTube channels where they discuss their gambling, strategies or whatever subject matter on gambling that interests their audience. Some of them have written books and put it on sale on Amazon, eBay and the other online book shops, some of the also have gambling podcasts too. It is not all gambling or betting it is both and other gambling activities that pays the bills.

It's because an addict will not focus on himself but in gambling alone. An addicted gambler is blinded by his gambling activities that he was not able to see what's really happening to himself. This can only be visible by the people that surround that certain addicted gambler.
Limiting oneself is really what we need. though, it is not easy to obtain due to the urge to continue gambling for some reason, such as taking back losses, being confident because of recent win, etc.. But yes, taking a break is needed, I also do practice this especially if I have a recent loss or if I know I have won enough.
That's right, an addict will not focus on himself, but he will only focus on the gambling games he sees there, and he can do all kinds of ways to gamble according to his heart. Yes, you are right, an addict cannot see what is good and what is bad for him, but most addicts see what at the beginning looks sweet and profitable, but in the end he will experience severe suffering because he does not have good boundaries in carrying out the gambling he likes.
Personally I don't see how anyone would take a habit if losing money as a hobby and that woudl either be an excuse to keep up to with the habit or beign delusional, yeah I agree that gambling might be fun and can add thrill to a normal game but it can't be a hobby in my opinion and with the introduction of esportsbet app that has taken the losing to a whole new level and winning its now all about the money rather than fun cause I've never enjoyed any online casino game and its hardly entertaining to me.
People who gamble primarily for fun, gamble for fun, at one point become completely addicted to gambling, and once they become addicted to gambling, they never know the difference between right and wrong. Gambling is an addiction which is like a terminal cancer. Once addicted, their families suffer the consequences. Those who are addicted to gambling, if they win money once, they are desperate to win twice as much money the second time. Her family had to pay the price of Erin's life. So everyone should refrain from this kind of gambling so that their family can live well with their family. Gambling can never bring happiness or peace to anyone's life. 
But when people go to the movies, they lose money
They travel, they lose money
They buy books to read, they lose money
And when they gamble, they lose money too
It is not about the money lost, but the satisfaction they get from the money they are going to lose. A hobby is anything you enjoy doing always, it doesn't matter how much money you lose when doing it, even if it's gambling. It is only left for you to limit the level at with you engage in the activity you love (your hobby) so it doesn't prevent you from being productive in other aspects of your life. Gambling can be a hobby to many people.
Correct, I don't know why a lot people are taking serious with loss in gambling, when they're actually giving away their money for other thing and didn't see that as loss!They travel, they lose money
They buy books to read, they lose money
And when they gamble, they lose money too

Example, if you own a cat, you need to buy the foods and litter box, you might buy supplement or go to the vet when your cat sick, are those thing free?
If someone say gambling is stupid games that only make you loss, I could say own a cat is stupid too since sooner or later your cat will die.
I think that gambling is stupid in the first place as you can start thinking before that gambling session and say to yourself,if I don't gamble this time I can have a plus hundred dollars more in my account supposing that 100 dollars is the amount you are willing to spend during that session.Now if we think like that it will be very difficult for most of us to keep gambling as a hobby as in the end it is a hobby that takes money out from you,unnecessary lost amounts,if people want to have gambling as a hobby all providers gives you through their website,I mean slot providers,give you the option to enjoy their games completely free of charge so why should anyone who says I have gambling as a hobby play with real money,I see no point in doing this,so the end is that gambling cannot be a hobby.
Or it can be considered as a hobby when gambler does not feel disappointed when he loses. As long as it brings fun, gambler enjoys it, it makes him feel calm, it is a hobby. As soon as he starts bothering about money spent, but keeps doing it daily or regularly it is a job. But when gambler things only about playing and spends all money on it, it is an addiction.
True, if we consider a specific example: I am convinced that playing poker on weekends for small amounts carries more positives than negatives. Small bets spur interest and create the opportunity to get small winnings from gambling. It's like a little incentive that makes the game fun and exciting. I believe that in this format, gambling can become a pleasant entertainment without serious consequences. The main thing is to remember the measure and control your actions so as not to go into a deep bundle of excitement. I am writing this based on my own experience and feelings.
These type of examples are very important, we should be considering something that could be very good if you know how to stop and when to stop, and yet if we can't stop and we become addicted then all kinds of games will be terrible for you. There are so many people who have done something wrong and we shouldn't really be considering it getting any better, just stop when you should.

Addicted gamblers are the worst set of gamblers in the system, they've no regards for opinions but doing what they think is best for them, zero listening to advices. We need to focus on the activities that makes us happy, it doesn't matter if it's gambling or not, but as long as we enjoy doing it, we should embrace it and also set limits to the amount of losses expected. It's important to set boundaries because that will be the only promising element in the space. We should be able to hold our ground and become one of the very best in the system.

The best thing anyone who enjoys gambling can do for themselves is settling limits for it or they might end up being indebted to lots of people all for the sake of gambling. This also applies to other people who have other hobbies like travelling, reading, touring, going to the movies and many more. If there are no boundaries set, your hobbies might in turn make you miserable.

Such possibilities, they will not pay attention to others even with themselves even though it can happen because their focus is diverted only on gambling. It's true what you said with someone who is addicted to gambling is that they are already blinded by gambling so that they can ignore other things even for their own health. The thought that is distracted because of gambling can make them addicted and with that they will not care about the things around them that can happen when they are already addicted to gambling.

Maybe the key is to limit yourself from gambling, because with the limits set I think we will not do gambling excessively or maybe we can avoid gambling addiction. Maybe gambling can be done on the basis of a hobby, only I might be very vulnerable to problems, even with the limits set by ourselves.
An addict wouldn't come directly to say he's addicted. Within him he would think he's not addicted. They enjoy every single part of gambling and crave more of it. When participating in gambling as a hobby staying careful is the right thing doing. As you mentioned, gambling as a hobby has a thin line between addiction. When care is not taken the gambler would have a hard time escaping addiction.
Gambling as a hobby seem to be a daily gambling activity and the player needs to maintain a level of concentration while gambling, daily. What Is most relevant is getting the limits in place. Nothing else. Players who get carried away will find themselves struggle with addiction. While gambling can be a hobby it's a risk for a greedy gambling. Fun players can deal with it, and level it with few months of break. Taking a break is quite effective in recuperating the brain, during those times of rest.

Gambling can definitely be a hobby because there are many people who likes gambling and enjoy it when playing for fun.
But there is a slim line between calling it a hobby and getting addicted to it and there are gambling addicts who call it a hobby but are addicted to gambling itsead.
So we must understand that difference but for the topic of this post, yes, gambling can be a hobby.

Winning and losing are normal in gambling, especially we are talking about luck which cannot be invited by anyone when fighting against the house, don't think too much about luck it is a will beyond our control, we just need to do it for fun and luck does not need to be sought that massively.
Winning and losing are normal in gambling, especially we are talking about luck which cannot be invited by anyone when fighting against the house, don't think too much about luck it is a will beyond our control, we just need to do it for fun and luck does not need to be sought that massively.
Although winning and losing is something normal in a game. However, when it comes to gambling, many of them are gamblers who continue to chase their losses. Gambling has become more than just a hobby, they have lost a lot of money there in pursuit of something they are not sure they will get.
And speaking of fun in gambling, where does the fun lie? Meanwhile, a person will only feel happy when he feels satisfied, and satisfaction in gambling when he gets a big enough win. And no one feels happy when the money they have is lost for nothing in the gambling they do or in the bets they place. And this is also what causes someone to continue gambling even though they have often experienced losses, they continue gambling in the hope that the losses they experienced previously can be replaced by wins that they are not sure they will get. Even though there is pleasure in gambling, the pleasure is only temporary, because in gambling there is no winning that can last in the long term.
And other things like I was bored because I had a lot of free time and used the time to gamble, maybe only an hour or two, then I continued my obligatory activities I felt my day was perfect and there was no time I wasted and that's where I felt happy, I admit that every human being if they get a win must be happy, but every pleasure does not have to be because of winning, just like you hobby play moba games in trolling.
Gambling can definitely be a hobby because there are many people who likes gambling and enjoy it when playing for fun.
But there is a slim line between calling it a hobby and getting addicted to it and there are gambling addicts who call it a hobby but are addicted to gambling itsead.
So we must understand that difference but for the topic of this post, yes, gambling can be a hobby.
Yes I agree with you, one can like gambling to be a hobby and it is not to the addicted part and that should be for the fun side of it and another can take gambling as hobby but he would be a serious addicted gambler and one thing is gambling hobby and to be an addiction is very close but if the gambler wants to control it, he can do that. Because it is all about the mindset of the gambler. He might like Gambling as a play and end there. While others might take it very serious. I game some examples in the Op. But there is a slim line between calling it a hobby and getting addicted to it and there are gambling addicts who call it a hobby but are addicted to gambling itsead.
So we must understand that difference but for the topic of this post, yes, gambling can be a hobby.

I take things with caution, for me winning and losing is what should be accepted in this way, losing is what we do not want to happen to us, but risk is always something that can happen to us, because I am one of those who think that When we start playing, if we do not have control over our emotions, it will not be difficult for us to put money and money, and then if we lose, we will not know what to do. do, because where are we going to get the money from? There are Some players who out of desperation put more money in the casino to try to recover the money that was lost and that is a mistake that causes more money to be lost, I recommend playing with little money, or that money that we can lose. and we don't lose our lives because we lose, because there are people who lose everything,Even their home.In gambling, losing is a certainty that we will get, while winning is only a possibility. Especially if we gamble on one type of gambling that only relies on luck, for example slot gambling, where in this type of gambling, the house is very favored and we can only win if we are really lucky to get it. And we have to accept this fact, so that we are always okay with every defeat we get, even if it hurts a little.
Gambling is an expensive hobby, because to get pleasure from gambling we have to experience quite large losses... so it is true with what you say that we must limit this activity, always ensuring that we only bet on the amount we are ready to lose. .. and to find out how much loss is caused by irresponsible gambling activities, you don't need to experience losses like what other people experience.. especially if you sell your house or other personal items. Because what other people have experienced is more than enough to be a lesson and also a warning about the losses resulting from irresponsible gambling activities.
I agree and I see it as a hobby too but for others, it is not. It could be a side hustle or a full time job for them.
full-time job? That's crazy! I'm just wondering, how often they get them winnings - that they decided to dedicate thier whole life innit? It's pretty much like a small scale business anyways; they gotta wager their home appliances along side when they run short of funds..hahahaha!!!Quote
We do not get to tell grown assed adults what it should be for them. They make the decisions and live with the consequences.
A degenerate gambler knows no consequences; it's either he missed the week's prediction for not making proper speculations or nothing at all. They don't wanna back off!! I think for these set of humans, gambling is more or less a business.
