As far as money so coming from it, it will become more of an hobby because their is always a way that everyone is moltivated by money. And that is why some individuals are carried away by their win at first and when they start loosing money they start looking for who they are going to lay their blame on. And no matter how crazy your wins are driving you crazy it is just better that you focus it on tangle things, am some one that loves gambling but I don't cross that red line and I know when to take that risk or not, and if am not to sure believe me I won't take that risk am always trying to control how I love money I read on tweeter how a lot of people are suffering from addiction I wonder what must have pushed them to that level. And people that are addicted are very stubborn and they don't listen to people advice. The moment you start you just have to tell your self the truth and control how you love money.
I don't agree totally with you. If you say gambling is a hobby yes I agree with you however if someone should say gambling is his hobby because of the money involved, or because of the jackpot he admires to hit some day, then ill say he's just been naive. Hobbies are things you just love doing for mostly emotional reasons and not a money or cash benefit factor.
This discussion reminds me of a discussion I engaged in few hours ago on the forum where the gist was mainly about mining as a hobby. My point was simply if you are mining to solely make profit they you are not a hobby miner. Similarly a person that calls gambling his hobby should be some one who gambles because they enjoy the feel and the games involved.
