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
You are now clearly contradicting yourself. Because if you were not gambling as hobby, you would either not have stopped playing after successive losses, or you would not have placed bets at all. The addicted gambler will always seek to increase the amount of his bets in order to feel more adventurous and passionate because betting with little money is no longer able to satisfy his desires to play.
I agree with you that any person may become addicted if he begins to practice gambling extensively (if we consider that he considers it a hobby from the beginning), but I am also certain that gambling may be a hobby if it is practiced with good moderation and wisdom, as you do.
It cannot be stated that gambling is absolutely harmful. It can be a fun and relaxing hobby. Plus there is a possibility that you will win money which can be a great bonus.
Knowing how to play gambling responsibly will protect you from being addicted to gambling with all its problems and repercussions, allowing you to continue gambling in the various casino games you prefer, without any problems.
