Gamblers who make gambling the sole activity that they can have fun with will quickly transform into addicts, this is the exact thought I had today.

Gambling frequently either for fun or to make money is a certain way to get addicted.

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.

What do you think?

I do not agree with you.
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.

You're right but you can't stop people from gambling if they're doing it frequently to have fun. They might be in denial from being addicted when they do that at most times but they'd say that they're still in control.

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.

Always Act Smart and Play Safe With Your Funds

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.

Sometimes we can decide to gamble for the fun because there are still people that enjoys playing games and making extra bocks for themselves. We don't have to see gambling as the only way we could make money so we need for get something doing so that we don't end up playing and taking too much time in gambling which could have a side effect on us as gamblers.

Gambling is not basically for fun but a means of earning passive income.

Majority of people who bear this thought turns out to be addicts or either gamble to the extent that they gambled away their valuables.

It is true that you can profit by gambling but still it’s not advisable to keep the thought of making it a means of earning passive income.

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.

Not if they are able to moderate their gambling activity. As long as the person is able to control his gambling activities and always gamble responsibly, the chance of getting addicted to gambling is lessen.

I agree, that diversification or diverting attention to other things can minimize gambling addiction and I believe the most important factor that can keep us away from being addicted is having self-discipline, responsible gambling and moderation in our gambling activities.

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
