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.

I could bet (sic) that some gamblers would like to be able to avoid it but are hooked and can't really control themselves
it's a sad reality but without a doubt this happens too, what do you think?

have you ever felt something like this when gambling?

Making money can be fun in itself. This is especially true for men (competitive interest). And when fun brings in money, it is undoubtedly a good way to spend time. Smiley

As people are weak towards money, a gambler may become addicted to gambling at some point which is quite normal.
I dare say that it is not a weakness for money that makes people addicted to gambling. Stock traders players also have a weakness for money, but they don't become addicted to stock market speculation.

But there are many rich people who gamble even after losing money, they are satisfied with small wins.
I have heard of such people from my friends. They are not satisfied with small wins, but postpone the expectation of a big win until the next moment. These rich gamblers also want to get a big win.

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.
He has a very unique way of enjoying sports and gambling at the same time. Smiley

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.

It turns out that a streamer who takes money from a casino and plays with it can essentially lose control of himself and break down. After which his gambling will become completely uncontrollable. And this is what can bring interest to broadcasts.
People will see live how his addiction develops. It looks like a reality show in which only the casino is necessarily in profit and safe. And gamblers and streamers still run the risk of falling into uncontrollable addiction.

I would not classify streamers as the ones who are addicted to gambling. No doubt they will play aggressively and take unnecessary risks but it is not that they are using their own money, in most cases they are being funded by the casino's.

The casinos do this because they want the streamers to play extensively at their casino and people will follow the famous streamers. For these streamers, the financial risks are often mitigated by sponsorships or promotional deals.

People watch these streamers and they get urge to gamble like them, but they should be careful because neither we are funded for by the casinos nor everyone has the same luck. With the same game played by a streamer and another gambler, the results can be entirely different.

Well, it's not like you were not going to enjoy it entirely.
Games in slots are mostly fun games and there's a variety of choices now that you can pick. Before, I was also pessimistic about them and I though I was not going to enjoy them but right now it's hard to not play the game for a day. I mean, I just want to roll even for just 20 times and see where my chances will go.
Sports betting is also enjoyable if you have a love for the game that you prefer. In my case it is basketball so whenever I see a good game that will happen I would definitely make a bet to spice things up.
You are right that it will be foolish thinking if we say/think that there is no refreshment, no enjoyment while gambling. Actually in the beginning it is full of enjoyment and mental refreshment if we do not become losers and we do not become addicted to gambling. But the main impact of gambling is when we become losers and it turns into an addiction.
This is definitely a negative scenario of gambling.
But I still have a more optimistic view of the entire gambling industry. In my opinion, not a very large percentage of players who get carried away by gambling then face very serious problems due to gambling addiction at the stage of mental illness. When it is an illness, the problem is of course obvious. However, most players simply relax from the game and have fun. In addition, the state of expectation of winning, for example, when betting on sports competitions, clearly brings some increased excitement to watching these competitions themselves compared to watching the game. And these same feelings, in my opinion, should also be taken into account if we objectively assess the impact of gambling in general on a person's life.

It cannot be denied that money is one of the factors that can cause addiction to a certain activity, but this does not prove that gambling cannot become a hobby, you should also know that society is a series of human personalities, sometimes very common, sometimes very strange people with special interests. And there's nothing weird about gambling being someone's hobby, many people know this game is especially dangerous but facing such stimulation is sometimes something people look forward to, a demonstration that is always extremely exciting.

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.

There are responsible gamblers and it is these set of people that can use gambling as a hobby because they are disciplined when gambling. It is also not a must that you gamble often because it is your hobby, sometimes we are deprived from our hobbies because of work or the environment that we find ourselves.

So far that is the best that should be applied in gambling, there is no better approach than coming with the intention of seeking entertainment by sacrificing a little money without caring too much about winning or losing, and this is why betting the amount of money that you are really prepared to lose is always recommended, and we can see that there is already quite a lot of evidence about gamblers who always try to pursue victory in gambling where most of them end up in a worrying situation in their lives.

Making gambling a hobby, I think it can make you avoid various bad possibilities, because of course you will not focus too much on winning there but you gamble just because you want to spend your boring free time, but on the other hand, of course, whatever the purpose, awareness of the potential risks and various significant negative impacts must be maintained in mind, because even though for example you gamble just for entertainment does not mean you will be free from changing your perspective on the activity, not infrequently some people who eventually get carried away without realizing it and get caught in a cycle of addiction, meaning awareness and boundaries must remain a priority.

If a person sees and likes gambling as his everything then I think it's good but play carefully here. Because gambling is a hobby and even though it is a hobby, there is potential for addiction, so one must be careful in sustaining one's hobby. But there are many people who are very fond of their hobbies and they have football and cricket as well as various games which are their favorite hobbies. Like I don't like gambling and that's not my all but I like sports it's my favorite hobby. But I think that people who take gambling as their hobby and here they are betting and spreading money is an unnecessary act.

I see, but they are streamers after all, even if they are disciplined, don't you think that common folk, having the same or even better self-control, could go as far as them in terms of profit? I agree that some of them may have good lives, but I wouldn't want to go that path, because it becomes pretty serious and your well-being starts to depend on it.
The thing is that I am a supporter of diversification in everything, even if it concerns earnings. For example, I have a regular job, but I would prefer to find another one that is not related to the first one, but at the same time I understand that this is not suitable for everyone, because people do not want to work a lot. On the other hand, anyone can try themselves in the role of a casino streamer, unless of course there is a direct ban on this in the jurisdiction in which the player lives. But now the borders of countries are open and movement is as free as never before, you can easily go to almost any country with better conditions and lower taxes on this activity, and try there. I do not want to advise this, but I am simply saying that it is available at the moment, because it is easy to take a laptop and leave. It is difficult to try to gain a foothold and not lose all your money until the moment when the player becomes more famous and his dollar per hour becomes more.

There are wins and losses in gambling. Those who always gamble with the thought of winning are essentially gambling with the hope of making money. We should take gambling as a pleasure but those who gamble with the hope of earning money rather than as pleasure may not know that sometimes  They can lose all the money and become destitute. But there is a lot of joy in gambling. There is joy in winning and losing. But everyone wants to gamble to win. I think gambling depends on luck.

It depends on your discipline and how you see it for yourself, I agree with you on this case. It shapes how we play and how we spend our time while doing it.

No - it's not considered a hobby, have a different thought.

Gambling can be fun is TRUE.
But what if this hobby leads to addiction and they consider it a source of income? It still exists, even though many people think it shouldn't be but other people always think like this.

While there are many other types of hobbies outside of gambling, if the hobby can be made better then it makes money, not with gambling only limited to the fun in betting the favorite team.

Gambling can be a hobby when it's done for fun and entertainment purposes only , it only becomes an addiction when you get caught up by greed and trying to get rich with it over night.. gambling for fun simply means you are staking what you can afford to lose knowing that it's a 50/50 thing, it's either you win or lose..it' can be considered to be a hobby in this regard done for the purpose of just relaxing your nerves and having fun. If people do it occasionally and it's something they like doing without being addicted to it, isn't that categorized as an hobby??  Correct me if am wrong

That's quite sad. As always, if they were disciplined enough, imagine the scale they would have with their base of people who follow and watch them. I am also happy for you to find a job afterward, as, in my opinion, gambling shouldn't be anyone's main source of income, it should be a hobby of sorts.
I completely agree with you, but there are still those professionals who have been able to do this for several years and still continue to earn good money thanks to this, because they can fully control themselves. I have been watching several such streamers for many years and they still earn very well, have families, travel and do not deny themselves anything. But as for me, I probably could not do the same.

Of course not only you, I myself am happy if I can make money consistently by gambling without having to step foot to go out but unfortunately it is impossible to make money consistently just by gambling. Unless you have skills like what you said by becoming a game streamer or others, because I think even though everyone can be said to be able to play games but not everyone can become a streamer who can really make money that way, because it takes unique skills to be able to attract many people, for example with interesting speech or others.
Those who become streamers and can make money I think not only in the game but maybe from the number of people who see it it becomes another advantage, and sometimes I also see news that those who do casino streamers work with the casino. Until there is another goal of all that is to attract many people to gamble at the casino played by the streamer. And of course not everyone can do this right, so there is no certainty that you can make money by gambling alone.
All this helps them to stay because the cash flows that come to them increase. Of course, you need to have at least minimal uniqueness to attract subscribers to yourself, and also have consistency, especially at the beginning, so that the algorithms work and offer regular users videos with a stream, and also the main thing is to farm a base of initial users who would come to each stream at least at first.

It turns out that a streamer who takes money from a casino and plays with it can essentially lose control of himself and break down. After which his gambling will become completely uncontrollable. And this is what can bring interest to broadcasts.
People will see live how his addiction develops. It looks like a reality show in which only the casino is necessarily in profit and safe. And gamblers and streamers still run the risk of falling into uncontrollable addiction.
But the thing is that no one from the audience will think about the casino, because everyone will imagine themselves in the place of this streamer. Because the same thing happened to them when they lost their deposit completely. This opportunity to look at the streamer from the outside and get to know yourself will show many how much this should not be done, the same thing happened to me.

I see, but they are streamers after all, even if they are disciplined, don't you think that common folk, having the same or even better self-control, could go as far as them in terms of profit? I agree that some of them may have good lives, but I wouldn't want to go that path, because it becomes pretty serious and your well-being starts to depend on it.

that's right, especially with the technology that now supports this, making everything easy to do. of course this makes some people reluctant to leave the house and think about how they can make money just by staying at home, by gambling is one of the things that many people do but actually this is not something that will definitely make them get money for sure. although there are indeed some people who have succeeded in becoming streamers, it should be noted that they get benefits not only from the games they play.
although it is clear that there is a risk of loss that is certain to occur, for some reason there are still many people who do it excessively until they think that they can get definite benefits in this case. and when they have lost some money, there are still those among them who insist on continuing and continuing to gamble because they may really want to win. no need to make gambling a hobby, with those whose hobby is not gambling can experience big losses, so it should be considered when making gambling a hobby.
I liked this idea the most, that I could earn money without leaving home with the help of gambling. But as soon as I quit my job and started doing this, I immediately realized how hard it is and almost impossible to earn money. Only those who are public streamers with subscribers on social networks and video hosting sites earn money. In addition to the fact that online casinos give them money for hidden advertising, they can also earn money on donations. But I did not do this, so I quickly spent my deposit and thought for a long time about what to do next, it's good that I found myself a good job later.

In addition, I read stories about how casino streamers earn good money, but still cannot resist betting and also lose in the end, although if they did not do this, they would have good earnings.

That's right! Everybody would be happier if it could be that way Wink The reality is harsher, on the other side, but, still, it's an interesting path nonetheless. People with referral bases, so to speak, always have the advantage over common users so to speak, even in this sphere.
