To me I just understand that gambling is a habit that you can develop with time and it’s done to addiction. Well so many people can also see gambling as a hobby because some people is always happy when they are gambling do they don’t gamble with much amount of money, the gamble with some small and they always see it as a fun to them so they don’t feel like gambling is a bad habit. That is just the truth about the whole analysis do my own understanding is how I feel about gambling.

The thing is, as much as you enjoy it and you're not disregarding the life that you have right now then gambling is serving you good. But if you see it, as a fulfillment of life then you're doing it wrong. Just treat it like a hobby. Not a job because it would put you a stress. Not as an addiction because it will take away your life from your family or career. Just play it like how you play your guitar ono your past time. And maybe, you get some jackpot some times or even just penny win. As long as you enjoy it.
Correct.
Just recently, I lost some funds on a gambling site that offers local currency as a deposit. I was so shocked that 160 times on a 96 percent RTP bet, I never won a good thing. That kind of losing streak never happened to me. After it depleted my balance I said to myself I won't be back and I never did come back for casino games for a day. I went back to sports betting instead and found peace in it.
It's truly stressful if you are expecting something from it. I expected at least a good win like x5 - x10 of multiplier before they rekt me but none happened.
We cannot treat it as a job because it is not, there's never a winner everyday unless you are playing skill-based games like poker against another human player where you could dominate them.

Well said. Gambling is not programmed for us to win, it is business oriented and as such  casinos will devise means to implore for them to be at an edge over gamblers.
Anything done during leisure time which is pleasurable is termed Hobby, so if anyone engages in to that way it is hobby for him, but we need to understand the  implications of gambling excessive and possible Addiction problems. In essence self discipline, moderation and limits should be incorporated.
