Of all the questions I have seen on this thread, this is the most unique one. Personally for me in the initial stages, it was just a game or a new passing habit. Later on during the course of time this became my passion. Now I love it and I enjoy it like how people enjoy having healthy habits, I have gambling habits. I feel one should be very careful as to what he defines it, as thoughs becomes things. One should not let himself loose out with the defination, as the newbies try to mimick the existing ones and they suffer losses.
It's only a healthy habit when you're not losing. When you start losing a lot, I mean a lot, you'd despise gambling and say bad things about it. I don't even know how one can have gambling as a "passion". Or does someone who says gambling is his passion just use that as an excuse to gamble more.
I understand people that have business or art or singing as their passion simply because you do it. You perform it, you practice it. But gambling? You simply put bet and that's all. There's no art in gambling or anything. Or at least that's just because I see gambling so simply.
Exactly, in gambling we don't' need to use any art to earn money from it, but only in sports betting, we could use our skills of sports and earn from it if we are lucky.
And i agree with you, gambling is not a business, it is a field of games, where we could use our money in a bet and finally we could earn or lose and nothing else.
But about the OP, I have a definition of gambling " It is a fastest way to earn money and lose money".
