It's really great that you've managed to recover from addiction, that's very uncommon. In fact, some don't even believe that it's possible, so kudos to you!
I checked "both", because, as you know, there are different types of gambling.
There are the ones that only depend on luck - slots, crash, dice, those I only play for fun, I never expect to win anything from there.
And there are those that depend on skills. From the latter, in particular, poker, I actually manage to win some money. But still, it's not enough to make a living, so I use this money for fun. Most often the money I win from poker I end up spending on other gambling games or sportsbetting.
Topic: Are you gambling to make money or just for fun? (Read 408 times)
OP, I chose both to answer your question. I bet for profit, but at the same time I also want to have fun. I really have to position which is the best as the main goal between making profit and getting pleasure so that I can consider the consequences when I lose. We can't just have fun at gambling while we can't win anything because that would be very boring. We need profit from gambling, even though it seem inadvisable to gamble just for the sake of profit because we need both pleasure and profit.
I was a gambling addict before until I later have to change, I have noticed I lost a lot when I was addicted unlike now that I played for fun. In the past, if I played one or two games, I usually win but I always did continue to bet until all my gain and money will be lost. When I was affected, I changed and only now gamble just during weekends unlike before that I gambled daily, I even sleep late because of gambling before. I noticed when I play just one or two games during the weekend, I win than I lose. Before, I saw gambling as a way to make money that it is a profession, but now seen gambling as fun and play just few quality bets.
How about you? Why are you gambling?
^ Hey! How did you overcome that addiction? It means it was totally stopped when you are thinking that you are addicted and change your daily to a weekend habit of gambling, it seems quite difficult but good to know you have been able to manage yourself from possible addiction. How about you? Why are you gambling?
However, on your selection, I voted both because for me that was how I feel and I selected both because it can be while having fun it also hoping that you will upon placing bets. Nevertheless, just advice, never think that gambling is a way to make money, basically yes but in fact, that is not a good habit at all.
Before, I saw gambling as a way to make money that it is a profession, but now seen gambling as fun and play just few quality bets.

When you think you are gambling to make money, you will soon realize that fake hope is paving the path to financial ruin.
It wasn't long ago that I was in your shoes; I naively believed gambling could be a lucrative business. Oh, how wrong I was. Now, I'm gambling just for fun up to a certain amount, and if I lose then I'll stop for a while and do something else. I know it's not the best strategy, but at least I've reduced my chances of bankruptcy.
and doesnt really have able to control that one because this would really be starting of with an addiction to it.Play gambling for fun and and dont really believe that there would be some holy
grail or something like that which would result into false belief that you could make yourself rich. Gambling is for entertainment and if you do believe the other way around then
be ready on wrecking up your life in terms of finances.It should really be good for leisure times only and dont expect something more with it..Winning is just a bonus.

I feel like whosoever is gambling for Money is doing it wrong. One has to understand the fact that, gambling is not something that will make you rich or would be considered as a whole time job but at the end of the day, the only reason I would gamble is to enjoy, to have fun, it's something that is very inconsistent.
But then again because of the fun part people usually get addicted. Which is do think is the Hardest part. You should only have fun when you know how to control the fun.
-You only should gamble when you can afford to loose the money that you are putting in it. Otherwise it's very irresponsible.

I believe that every beginner or newbie gambler was been in this place first thing because of fun. I mean i am speaking based on my personal experience and based on my self-explanation. I am a gambler in a sense where I just wanted to have fun, spend my leisure time but with a limited money involved. For me I am a very competitive gambler and I wanted to win which i bet everyone wants it too and I'm afraid to lose so I guess this way is better for me because I managed to have a self control when it comes to money involved gambling but a lot of gambling activities is just for fun without any money involved.

many people initially play gambling just for fun after they are tired of working, but from the start the fun can make some people even addicted to gambling, that's why for those of us who really make gambling as a pleasure must have full self-control so as not to get trapped In gambling, in my opinion, at first maybe we will just do it for fun but when we continue to win, of course, the desire to continue to play will get bigger and gradually will make us addicted to gambling in the end.

For both. I bet for fun and winning is part of that fun. But I'm also ready to lose. For example if i have to lose my money in gambling, atleast i have tried my best. As long as we only use the money we can afford to lose, there's no harm in trying our luck at the gambling places.

For us, maybe gambling just because we want to be rich, it's impossible, this is not a good criterion for me. Of course, gambling games must start with fun and don't make it a daily income. This will be very difficult for us, unless a pro gambler can do it because of their bets. bigger the more the pope said at the gambling table.But then again because of the fun part people usually get addicted.

Gambling once in a while maybe we can become addicted, initially just trying to have fun but after getting out of control they don't manage finances so I think only discipline will make us happier with our gambling, if you win more then it is a bonus that you must get.

Naturally, I play only for fun and sometimes it's not even real money - I like to play dice and in order to test strategies I just need to launch a bot, and not go to the casino. The last time I thought about a big win it was a distant youth, then I studied the mathematical part of gambling and stopped being naive.
I am gambling to have some fun and at the same time I am looking for a chance to win money if I am lucky enough. Most of my time used to gamble is for pure fun. I am not desperate enough to gamble just for a chance to double my money. I have been gambling for quite some time but the result is I always lose and less winning.
Actually, this is a natural result. I think that everyone who plays for fun remains in the red for a long time. And this money spent can be seen as payment for your enjoyment of the game. But of course that euphoria and delight of winning when it happens is certainly worth playing. And don't get upset the next time you lose.
Same thing with my current outcomes, more on losing but I enjoyed those bets that I made. Not a heavy gamer though but the time
and excitement that I spent during the game is good enough to entertain myself.
Some may see gambling to have some fun while others are aiming to find some good luck to win decently.
Really depends from your intentions and attitude towards this activities, but always have a good responsibilities to control yourself
to lessen the chance of being addicted and lose a lot.
I am quite the same as you. I am a small time gambler and I control myself not to gamble too much. I basically gambled in a casino or sportsbook that I haven't created an account yet and enjoy the welcome bonus as it might bring a luck to win decent amount of money just by depositing a small amount of money plus welcome bonus then after that I also entertained myself the same as you after gambling. I wouldn't want to become a gambling addict as I see it with my own eyes the result of being a gambling addict that may cause a problem to yourself or to someone around you. and excitement that I spent during the game is good enough to entertain myself.

How about you? Why are you gambling?

I guess we all have been there. The starting days of gambling are the most memorable ones I believe.
It usually starts with fun but once we start getting deep into it we tend to gamble frequently and most often lose our money.
Even I have lost some in gambling but I didn't take it seriously because I could afford to lose it.
But as things started to get messy and I started to notice I am putting more money into than I should, I took a break from gambling.
I do gamble sometimes these days but just for fun and most often with the free money that the casino sites gives away in free spins.
Personally I just gamble for fun and to try and make a little bit of money on the side. Here's the thing, in my opinion anyhow, if you aren't a professional gambler who understand all of the math behind gambling, then it really shouldn't be played just to make money because more than likely this is going to cause you turmoil at some point. There are people far far smarter than I that gamble professionally, like Alex Jacob whom is one of Jeopardy's longest running winners. The guy is a genius, understands the math behind it all, and does it for a living. Unless you are like that guy, it's probably best to just play for fun and to try and win a little dough on the side.
Most people would gamble for fun if they don't want to lose a lot of money. I would say, no... why would you bother yourself to gamble if you don't aim to make money? I mean that's where the ultimate fun is because winning is the biggest achievement as a gambler.
The saying that is gamble for fun only maybe means don't gamble seriously so you can move on easily.
While people are gambling for fun, they also do it because they want to earn money. But gambling as a mean of making a living is different in a way that when people gamble, they take it seriously and some may be pushed to go on extremes just to earn their goal. And maybe it would be less fun for these people since results may get into their heads for a longer period of time and emotions will be much affected. The saying that is gamble for fun only maybe means don't gamble seriously so you can move on easily.
if having fun can make money why not? Well, basically I agree with the two options when combined in one game. Of course, winning when you bet makes you a lot of money, because your gambling is risking at least a few cents on a single bet. well when the victory has been obtained of course we will clearly feel the pleasure.
Actually, gambling is like a place where one looks for fun, luck, profit, win, relax after a week of work and on weekends you take it all off by gambling, risking something in hopes of making yourself happy and content.
I gambler for both fun and making money. Nobody plays and expect to lose, when we all stake our bets, we always look forward to win, to make more money. Although gambling to make money only is not always good, because when one lose, it leads to depression. But, when playing for fun and you lose, it not always painful. You just laugh and consider yourself not been lucky enough.Actually, gambling is like a place where one looks for fun, luck, profit, win, relax after a week of work and on weekends you take it all off by gambling, risking something in hopes of making yourself happy and content.
