Topic: [A POLL] Without Chances of Making Money, Will you still be gambling? - page 6. (Read 554 times)

Of course why not. Since it will be for entertainment I will pay to have that fun. I could remember going to the amusement park with my uncle and his family.the games there are to be paid for before you c an have access to play them. I will see it like a service business where you pay and play any game of your choice. But let the truth be told I wouldn't do that often. I will only do it once in a while unlike now that you can win or loss. This is what makes it more interesting due to the thrill. But I don't think that we will have more gamblers like we have today because at first most gamblers gamble for profit before they will realize the main purpose of gambling that is should be for fun.

Bro, honestly, I think gambling is more interesting because of the fun and also the opportunity to win some money, which can both be archivable. Most people are gamblers today because they believe more in winning money than having fun, while only a few gamblers are gambling for fun. In my honest opinion, gambling without winning some people will make no sense and will not be of interest to many people if it was only developed for having fun without adding the money-winning feature.

Your poll has just two options, and it's quite complicated for me to pick any option yet because I am actually thinking of an option that you did not add to your poll. If gambling were built in such a way that gamblers would only gamble for fun, I would definitely gamble, but I would be more conscious of how much I will be spending to gamble. You know what that means.

I got into gambling through my friends, and it was more on the notion of making some cash as a side hustle. Although there was still the feeling of having fun, my friends actually made me feel it was just some kind of simple thing where you stake and win some money easily, but it was not. So, maybe if there was no means of winning money from gambling, I may not have known gambling in the first place because my friends would not have introduced me to it.

Currently, I don't put serious time into gambling as before and I don't care much about losses and wining because of work and other stuffs that is taking my time.

Exactly.! Why would really be needing to pay up something just to have some fun if you could actually be able to attain those things for free? Even if we do say that the amount involved or
fee wont really be that too big. It wont really be that called gambling in the first place if it doesnt really get involved on having that betting. Peoples interest would really be that low or
nearly to be zero considering that earning profits or winnings couldnt really be just that possible. So it would really be that your own personal choice if ever you do agree with this kind of stuff.
We do know that gambling industry becomes so big just because people do really love to deal up with things on which it could really be potentially be able to
make money. Interest would be gone if you cant really be able to do so.

Definitely not. I can maybe tolerate an entry fee to access the different games, I will pay to join a football prediction game, if that allows me play all season. But if I had to pay each time I play with no chance of winning, I would decline that offer.

There are free ways to have fun.

I believe we all, or most of us are back from the new year celebration already  , my greetings to everyone of you and pray this year brings us the best of luck as gamblers.

Now, I have a simple question, first, let me say that I am an advocate of gambling for fun, and I personally believe that gambling for fun does not necessarily means you should completely ignore the aspect of money making through gambling, it just simply means that we should not prioritize making money off gambling over doing it for fun, and this is because, some gamblers out of prioritizing gambling for money over over gambling as a means of having fun, end up gambling irresponsibly which leads to alot of financial issues and even gambling disorders.

So, one question I want to ask is, if games were built to be played with money on casinos like we do now, with absolutely no chances of making money even when you win a game, would you still be spending money playing this games or betting on sports games?

Please let's discuss, and remember, keep it as constructive as possible and cast your vote on the pool as well.
