Gambling should be seen as a hobby for some people and it may not be seen in the same direction as a hobby to some other people because not everyone in into gambling, but for the benefit of those into it, they have to understand that gambling is what we have to do out of our passion and interest for having fun through it, all these are part of the reasons why some have already taken it as a hobby because they are used to doing it.
I strongly feel that making gambling a hobby is not too fine because it could easily become addiction when made a hobby. One of my ways of handling losses is to stay away for some times, assuming I made gambling a hobby, there is no way it would have be easy for me to stay away for sometimes. Today I played some rounds in gates of Olympus and I made some decent wins before I entered series of losses which made me take a break. This flexility will not be possible if gambling was a hobby
