If you are gambling for fun, It will be better to have many other activities (options) that you can catch fun on, so you do not always have to gamble whenever you think of having fun.
Can someone really gamble for the fun of it without having emotions attached to it because money is involved.
What do you think?
So down to the point, do people stake money and don't get attached to it? If you have staked money then you are gambling and that has emotion too. So if someone has to have fun purely, you can install some games on your phone or go to game houses where you only watch games. It is difficult to gamble while your emotion is isolated from it.
Watching a football match is a fun activity you may not have to bet on it because it will still be fun if you force the fun to always spend money then it's wrong you will still run out and get addicted forever.
Even with gambling games also do not have to be with money just use demos, but that's no thrill.
Fortunately now there are still physical activities that are more prioritized including playing soccer so this will not lead to addiction it will still be fun what I feel.
There are so many fun games that you like to do without having to gamble.

It could be true. The devil will always corrupt an idle mind and if the mind focuses only on one thing such as gambling then all there is in that mind will just be gambling. It is important to engage in something else to have balance like playing sports and social activities, especially friends and family. Having more hobbies will make a person busy especially when they have pets or a girlfriend.
This is why some drug addicts have profiles that are not into sports even in their youth. It's almost predetermined they are going to fail in life.

Gambling is not the only activity that one can get addicted to. There are so many activities out there that you do not even need to stake any money for a potential win that one can get addicted to. You need to understand how addiction works. Addiction comes as a result of performing an activity or action that gives you a rush of the hormones that make you feel good. One can get addicted to playing football, playing video games, running, lifting weights etc The rule of thumb here and it applies to all of them is that everything should be done in moderation. You can gamble for fun and gamble to make money but is should be done with moderation. It is key, it is vital and it cannot be overemphasized.

Yes, I totally agree to what you said about not letting gambling be our only option when we think about having fun, because since it involves staking of funds with a risk likelihood of we either winning or losing our staked amount, such individual is likely to go bankrupt or probably get addicted if care is not taken. Hence, if only we could have other activities where we derive fun from it (e.g playing of live soccer games, playing of chess game and Scrabble), it will go a long way reducing the rate at which people get addicted to gambling.

Most of my activities are money sinks, and I feel like gambling is the only 'fun' activity I spend the least money on. I'm engaged into old school MMORPGs that make me spend thousands of dollars every month just to keep up with the current items with the strongest people in the game. It still gives me some money in return though, but not as much when compared to gambling.
Even though this is the case, I believe that I do not have even the slightest hint of being addicted to it. I'm still not getting too much into it and just spend a very minimal amount per week compared to what I'm earning in a month. It doesn't hurt my bank, I still can get a week or two without it, and it's not the only thing I think about throughout the day so I think I'm good.

And we're all free to do any other activities that we can have fun with aside from gambling. When it's about relaxation after you gamble, it's true that we need to do some other activities that will remove that stress.
Don't just get into gambling if you want to have fun, find some other activities that you will also find it fun whether they are indoor or outdoor activities, there's a lot of them to choose from.
One can still go to a casino house to play games without gambling, it's also another cool way of having fun. If you think that you must involved money to have fun then it's a wrong impression, there are lots of games to play online or offline without you putting money to have to these features unlocked for you but since we already stick this at the back of our heart that for one to have fun we must involved money at the expense of doing that.
We can go watch football or wrestling, this is another cool way of having fun without even putting a dinm and you won't lose, rather it would increase your interest to gamble next because the more you watch the more you discover some secret behind them.

If gambling is made into a pleasure then this will tend to lead to addiction so the choice of other activities is very important, for example, if you like fishing for pleasure or other things then it is appropriate to forget a week of pleasure in gambling but if this is the only one I think they will spend a lot of money on gambling.
I myself am not gambling the only pleasure, but many other activities are a little forget about gambling if you leave the house, if you are at home and boredom occurs, you will have fun at gambling.

Gambling should be more of understanding the prospect of what we are doing and the reason why we are doing it. We need to have other things we are doing apart from gambling like having a job we go to everyday and the gambling part could just be to make extra bucks to what we have already.

I highly agree. Because if a person sole purpose to gamble is to have fun, there is a huge chance that he will be incrementing his time, bet size and risk to fulfill the excitement he wanted. We all know that there is this thing called "the law of diminishing return". The fun gets diminish whenever we always play such game so to maintain the fun, player have to increase the risk or time involved in their gameplay thus making them hook to the game and eventually have the uncontrollable urge to gamble.

That is an excuse most people use when they lose money,they gamble for fun.The truth is that most likely some persons do really start playing for fun but once they start doing it in a frequent way then gambling for fun is their excuse while there is certain that they play to get their money back or to earn more or to hit a huge multiplier,something along those lines.
By gambling frequently is a sure way to get addicted and there is no escape from such happening if you are not careful,an intelligent person should know when to stop and see when things to go south consistently,it is exactly in this moment that one has to find the courage to stop,sure it is not easy yet very much doable.
Gambling is not basically for fun but a means of earning passive income. I doubt there are people who started gambling just for the fun of it; the primary motivation to venturing into gambling is always the money. Along the line, one can find fun but this is not the main thing about gambling.
People play video games and sport for fun, at least those does not require so much psychological body as there are no financial commitment. I think gambling is not even suitable as a means of fun because a single bad daw will make the fun disappear
