If the player is trying to make a game with his work and it is unlikely that it will already be a hobby, but rather the main way of the ease. And a fool who really play for the sake of entertainment on weekends or with friends in some kind of short period can definitely be called a hobby in this case .
In other words, if the hobby is not getting you distracted or harming you in any way such as financially then we can consider it as a hobby.
If someone is gambling casually then he is having gambling as a hobby but if someone is repeatedly gambling and losing money which he cannot afford to lose then it's not a hobby but an addiction.

However, it can be considered as a pastime or hobby for those who indulge in gambling only for entertainment. A person may gamble as a hobby, it may entertain him, but there is no possibility of addiction. A person is likely to become addicted to gambling only when he takes gambling as his source of income. As the source of income is elsewhere, he can gamble during military time to fulfill his hobby which will be his pleasure or entertainment. Gambling is mainly taken as a source of income by those who rely on gambling due to which they face losses, but no one ever chooses gambling as a source of income as a hobbyist.

Then we all are should treat gambling as a hobby because the purpose of gambling is for entertainment, not for making money.But I've heard in my real life someone are really obsessed with their hobby and they're willing to pay high just to get what they want. It makes them broke too, although it doesn't make them become homeless. They can still live after all.
Basically gambling is just a game but unfortunately, over time they become gambling as a source of income and of course it is very inappropriate. Because after all, it would be better to make gambling just a hobby because then, of course we still have other sources of income out there. Thus, we will occasionally gamble when we have time, unlike those who make gambling as an income because they will gamble at all times. Therefore, it is not surprising that when they lose they will be depressed and worse, they will commit crimes which of course make gambling seen badly.

It depends on the gambler how he treats gambling. There are others who play for fun, so with this type of gambler, we can assume that gambling is a hobby for him, right?
But for a gambler whose aim is to make money, he/she cannot say that gambling is his hobby, especially if he already has an addiction to gambling that we know his body is looking for every day of his life.

If both time and money are being controlled correctly it can treat as a hobby, though if the purpose is making money and being out of control then it might trigger addiction and may harm the person both financial and mental, more on self assessment and explanation if how they spend time and how they spend their finances, just like taking a movie night every sunday with budget that willing to spent, if there's no excess when playing gambling then can qualify as a hobby.

Yes, your opinion is correct, but overall, people who consider gambling as a hobby, in my opinion, must not be able to control both, namely time and money, because people who are crazy about gambling are crazy about everything, they can spend their time and money to be able to gamble, if they can't gamble, they will feel that something is missing in their daily life.
Gambling can be a hobby. Of course some propose gamble to earn from it while some gable because they love competition. I find gambling to be quite interesting because it deals with the intellect, a pro gambler to me just has to be someone with a high IQ because how can you think of those snart moves without being smart.
So, picture this, an intelligent and smart person gets involve in the world of gambling primarily because they want to flaunt their intelligence and they enjoy the competition plus when they win it's more money for them. They enjoy the hype that comes from the crowd when they win and it in turn helps them to relax.
Now, I'm not saying even the intelligent ones can get addicted to the game especially when they feed on the hype but of course with caution they can always avoid the case of addiction. I'm saying gambling can be someone's hobby out of a competitive intelligent nature.

Absolutely not, Gambling is actually an addiction that will make you addicted to making money. Most of the people gamble as a source of earning money while there are very few people who gamble for fun. I have a friend who is addicted to gambling to get rich and after losing repeatedly he bets again. His dream is that one day he will win and collect a huge amount of money. Since betting on gambling requires money, it cannot be a hobby for anyone. Because here you have to enjoy an option of win or loss.
This is where you are getting it wrong, some people pay money to have fun and entertain themselves, so whoever is using gambling as a hobby already knows the risk involved and he knows that he will lose his bet. He is not gambling because he wants to make profit but he is gambling to make himself happy and if he wins or loses, he does not care.Basically I think you will not experience too bad an impact in any activity when you know what you are facing and what the consequences can be from the activity, because that is what will determine your future fate.
but do you think the ones that can use their minds in the correct way are tha majority or minority? because I see this is rarer and rarer each day
crazy that people give up on their rights and their freedom so easily.
gambling can be enterteinment but this is usually costly and hard for the families involved
have you ever seen someone deeply addicted and unable to change?
For me, a good hobby is an activity that brings pleasure in the good sense of the word. Especially if this hobby is also supported by some financial benefit. We know many hobbies where people both relax and earn money. The work that you do with passion is also a hobby. However, if we say that gambling is a hobby, then such a hobby should not go beyond the limits of reasonable spending of money. Anything that does not harm you is welcome. But those cases when players stop thinking about everything except the game, need medical help, and naturally do not fall under the definition of "hobby."
Gambling is a hobby that borders on earnings and this is the danger of gambling. The thing is that we all want money, and even when we do what we love, somewhere deep down we want it to become the reason for us to leave our full-time job. Or life change.
We all want this, and this is normal. Because everyone strives for family life and this life requires money. Therefore, you need to approach gambling consciously, you need to always control yourself and be strict with yourself.
Even if one takes gambling as fun, he should take gambling completely seriously because gambling is directly related to money; if you make a mistake here, money will be lost and money is very valuable in life. But I think everyone's illusion of money works very well so if we give them suggestion they will still care about their money and if we don't give suggestion they will still care about their money. Many people say that they take gambling only for fun and I always want to contradict them because if they only take gambling for fun then winning and losing would not change their state of mind. So apart from these, every gambler must be serious about gambling and try to gamble with proper strategy. We all want this, and this is normal. Because everyone strives for family life and this life requires money. Therefore, you need to approach gambling consciously, you need to always control yourself and be strict with yourself.

Aside from what you say, friends, the hobby is something that Mom wants to do most of the time in your life, or it can give us relaxation, relief, and personal satisfaction with someone.
So it's only two things here, and it's a good and a bad hobby, meaning the hobby doesn't just refer to gambling but it depends on the person.

It may depend on the gambler's mindset, many people take gambling as a pastime and others as a means of earning money. I rarely see people who choose gambling as a pastime. But see most people who want to make money from gambling. There are many amateur gamblers who have no skill or strategy in gambling yet they are addicted to gambling.
The more you can control your emotions and cravings in gambling, the more you can get out of gambling i.e. not become addicted to gambling. However, if greed and passion increase to a greater extent, then gambling becomes addictive very quickly because the tendency to earn more money is evident in it. Gambling addiction does not ultimately lead to good results. Gambling should be done with self-control and within limits.

Addiction is not good for anything. Gambling addiction in particular is enough to destroy an individual or a family. Gambling affects not only one person but everyone involved in gambling. Good results lead to good effects, bad results lead to bad results. Gambling addiction mainly comes from greed, when a person gets some profit from gambling he is tempted to continue gambling and lose control over his emotions. When a person is completely unable to control his emotions, we call it addiction.
If a person does not use gambling as a means of earning money and uses it as entertainment then his emotions are somewhat controlled. I don't like excessive gambling, even if gambling is recreational. A certain amount of gambling can be done for fun, but too much gambling can lead to temptation. It is almost certain that he will become addicted to gambling if he fails to control his impulses and emotions from temptation. Gambling addiction never brings good for such a person.
Everything has been able to imagine from the beginning about what will be obtained from gambling, all the impacts and risks of gambling can be seen before someone starts it because there have been many experiences of other people that can be seen by all of us.
The goal and approach to gambling are the main factors to stay on the right track and can minimize all the bad things that are not wanted.

That's totally true.
Responsible gambling combined with the right mind can make wonders in the long run for the potential player.
And there would be fewer risks for such a gambler.
On the other hand, if you have the mentality and mindset to make profit from gambling, you will not be able to make it an hobby because you will lack self control and be chasing profits all the time when gambling.
If you are trying to be confident in yourself and looking for entertainment as well as money making opportunities through gambling, you should limit your allocation of money and time or else you will suffer huge financial loss.
The more you can control your emotions and cravings in gambling, the more you can get out of gambling i.e. not become addicted to gambling.

Support your thought, Not everyone takes up gambling as a source of income, there are many who consider gambling as fun and some as a good way to spend their free time. As people are weak towards money, a gambler may become addicted to gambling at some point which is quite normal. But there are many rich people who gamble even after losing money, they are satisfied with small wins. I have seen a gambler who is very fond of sports and only bets a small amount when his favorite team is playing. When asked he said that if the money is not kept then he does not get proper attention about the game.
I believe some gamblers remain positive with the bets they make. although some get worse with the increase in gambling activities they do.
Betting on a known match or even just for a team they like would be great. meaning the gambler is not affected by his gambling activities which are deliberately limited by himself. either because of his finances or his strong principle to only bet on the team he supports.
You like sports, and you bet on your favorite team. that's good. but still bet realistically. because the team we support will not always win the match played.
At the same time, I understand that all players are living people who have formed habits, shortcomings, impatience and many other things, because we are different. And I will not say that this is bad, just taking into account our character traits, we must choose the most suitable games for us, as well as the size of the bets and their frequency.
Gambling is a hobby that borders on earnings and this is the danger of gambling. The thing is that we all want money, and even when we do what we love, somewhere deep down we want it to become the reason for us to leave our full-time job. Or life change.
If someone really believes gambling may change or lives and makes us quit our day job, well, that could be possible, but in a negative way lol.
Gambling is a hobby, only for those who can afford to lose. But definitely not for those who seeks wealth in the casinos, and yeah that's the danger of gambling, still many people believes in this kind of fantasy.
