Whatever that can give you the kind of pleasure you want can also be used as a hobby. If gambling is your hobby does not mean that you will gamble excessively because that will lead to addiction and huge losses. I believe that we all have our jobs that keeps us busy most of the time and there will be limited time for our gambling activities. When you are in your leisure time, you can gamble. You can also gamble once a week or twice depending on how you want it does not mean that you will not be able to discipline yourself. My hobby is traveling but I hardly travel once in a month.
But if you thinks using gambling as a hobby can gives you pleasure, you may thinks twice because that can makes you spends much money. You will not knows how to stops your habit playing gambling and not thinks that you actually have many activities you can do to gets pleasure.
You should use gambling as something that can fills your free time but not use it too often because that can gives you many problems. You must limits your time when playing gambling so you will not lose much money.
We should have the other hobby besides of using gambling for a hobby which will be safe for us and can stay away from the gambling addiction. We must remember that gambling can tempts us easily and forgets that we must take care and carefully when playing gambling.
