Without going much further, I gladly tell you that both the fun and the potential winnings that could come from the game are the reasons why the gambling industry is booming today. The majority are there for what they could win out of it, and others are also there for the joy they derive from gambling.

The gambling industry have been able to ride on the growing gambling trend coupled with the use of famous people for their adverts. People sure have a lot of fun when they gamble or place a bet. Anyone who has ever had a conversation with another gambler about their bet slips would know what I am talking about. And the fun is even visible when they are watching the game they bet on. The thought of a potential win is mentally and emotionally stimulating so that even if there is a loss, they would still want to place another bet again.

Most people are usually like that they gamble to make money and I think the percentage is greater than just for fun. This doesn't mean that people who enjoying gambling don't want to make a profit, but rather that they have fun while looking for a profit.

You have put it very well. There will always a higher percentage of gamblers who do it for the money rather than for the fun of it. If you look at those who are compulsive gamblers, you will see that those people are they who are more focused on the money-making aspect of it than on the fun part. In this group of people, there is an overlap of gambling to make money and gambling for fun.

You're a hypocrite if it never crossed your mind to make money off of gambling.

Most of the gamblers I know are in it for the money, and not for the entertainment that other people seek. It's possibly because they saw other people making money off it, and they want to be in a similar position to escape their boring day jobs or just make money doing something that they think is easy.

They truly risk their money, in the false hopes of making more than what they originally staked for.

Perfectly said and a lot of people also have to shy away from the truth that no matter how much fun and entertainment they claim to have, without winning, the entertainment and fun isn’t complete and to me, I believe the true fun and entertainment in gambling comes when there is a win.
Most times, most people don’t really feel it when they loss a bet but maybe that’s because they have more than enough and they also staked only the amount they can afford to loss and that’s why it is always advisable to gamble with only the amount we can afford to loss and not chase after this losses when they come.

N/B : There is fun in gambling but I think this fun is more when the winning is also more.

If not risking the money for profit, then what else is it for? Only few people play for fun and even those few gamblers in this category still play with the hope of making profit too, but the difference here is that they are not wholly dependent on the profits they will make from gambling to survive but are good with whatever result that they get, win or not.

Many gamblers are being thrilled if they will bet more, and they are also having fun with it while risking their money. I think those who say that they gamble for fun are still in denial that they are into gambling. Well, if you can’t afford the risk then push it because you can be broke and you might regret it, just gamble what you can afford to lose then you can still feel that excitement even if you lose money.

The title is definitely not the right one. I think the better one is this.

"Do people truly risk their money on bets for profit?"

It's always going to be about making money and those "bets" just for fun are those who are just trying out gambling. I think that's the reason for people trying it but avid gamblers probably want to profit and not gamble just for fun. There's definitely intention IMO.

I agree with your statement.

I also think that the title is misleading as the thread focuses more on the risks that are associated with gambling using their respective funds.

Anyway going back to the topic, it really depends on the perspective of the person on how he/she views gambling as an activity or as a money-making venture. Naturally, people who view it as a form of entertainment has more control over their emotions as they are not compelled to make any profit.

Regardless of the situation, whether they win or they lose, what matters is that gambling satisfies their urge to feel the adrenaline. On the other hand, if a person sees gambling in order to make extra income, then they are necessarily compelled to win. There is this pressure for them to make a profit which somehow landslides to a series of bets until they incur a profit.

I don’t know if I’m really staying my points well but I wish to know if people really have to gamble without intentions of making money?

Of course, almost everyone wants to make a profit from gambling games, but you need to know that to have fun, you don't just waste money on it, but if we lose, we don't get carried away and we get satisfaction in the game, meaning that we don't have to focus. in winning which causes us to waste too much money, just for the sake of winning, do it with pleasure if you are not lucky at least you will get satisfaction

There could be a side of 'fun' in relation with thrilling experience. Some sort of how adrenaline works to some people. A sensation of overcoming something which made you feel nervous and that could be another side of gambling which entertains people. However, if it is for a particular thing which pushes people to gamble then it is for sure profit. Correct analogy, why would someone bet for fun only if there are other ways to be entertained? Activities to enjoy? Profit distinguishes gambling from other activities. Unfortunately, this is also the reason why many gamblers are getting addicted into it.

Is there someone who doesn't want to get rich? It happened that such feat could be given or earned from gambling activities but no matter how you look at it, that's just a tendency and will never be guaranteed no matter what strategy you are using. It would only be determined by your luck and chance. People are way too hopeful with gambling which makes them disregard the possibility of losing.

I recently staked some FUN, so whenever I wanna bet now, I try to do so in accordance to the calculation I made, allowing for the worst possible scenario to be the break-even one, after I get my earnings from staking. Been working so far and I'm even in plus since I managed to hit a few parlays, I just pray the streak can be maintained.

I have been gambling for quite a long time, and until now the gambling I have done has not produced any financial profit at all, in fact I am the one who continuously spends my budget to continue gambling and trying to enjoy it. . And it turns out that when gambling is not managed well, let alone being able to gain financial benefits, getting pleasure from playing can sometimes be quite difficult. because when gambling exceeds a person's readiness limit to lose the amount of money at stake. The possibility that gambling will only cause losses and regrets can make me a little frustrated.

And my message is, gamble wisely and within reasonable limits, gambling is not a way to make money but gambling is a way to throw away our money for nothing. Therefore, control your gambling as best as possible, so that you don't experience what I experienced, namely experiencing losses that I was not ready to bear. And I am currently still trying to manage the gambling that I do as well and wisely as possible.

The fun experience and trill that comes with watching a game that you have bet on, is always very different compared to that that comes with watching a sports match you have no bet on.
In other words, what I am saying is that, the fun and excitement from games we bet on is far much more different than the fun and excitement that comes with games we have no bet on.

So by the above, it's easy to understand why most people or gamblers place bets, and still go on to watch the match, this sometimes might not have anything to do with the money they stand to make if their bet won,. Or the money they lose if their bet loss, but overly, most people stil gamble for the sake of making profit, and not particularly for the fun experienced in doing so.

Basically, we all have our own definitions of fun, even in the games that people play ordinarily where they can't earn real money from them. For the sake of fun, most people spend money on tools that will enable them to play video games, which, at the end of the day, they won't get any money from playing but rather derive only the satisfaction they get (fun) and spend their free time doing what they like.

Using money to gamble is also part of the fun; losing is also part of the fun; and even winning is also part of the fun. If you are a gambler and you gamble all the time, win all the time, and you are certain you will always win all your games, and it happens that way, the level of excitement that each winning will give you will start to reduce the more you continue winning without losing any game and feeling the pain of losing.

Without going much further, I gladly tell you that both the fun and the potential winnings that could come from the game are the reasons why the gambling industry is booming today. The majority are there for what they could win out of it, and others are also there for the joy they derive from gambling.

Technically speaking human want to enjoy every life. So even a gambler or not we seek some fun but most of us saw their fun in gambling which is pretty sure around the world most people know already in gambling but we have different ways to handle it. Cause some of us are aiming for the profit and risk some of Their money In order to have some profits but some us are gamble just for fun only one there's no wrong if they are loss or win as long as they felt happy on what they do then that's okay. And nowadys gambling industry are getting bigger and bigger.

If you are directly saying that some gamblers don't gamble to make money then I would say you are completely wrong. There are different sports to be taken as fun or different roads so why people take maximum risk of their money for fun. Maximum risk of money is taken because the gambler wants to make money by gambling. Gamblers may profitably take gambling as fun. You tell a gambler to lose at regular gambling and try to find happiness in him after losing at regular gambling hopefully you won't find his fun in gambling at all. A gambler is happy and enjoys gambling only when he keeps winning in gambling, without profit the gambler is always upset.

Gamblers will enjoy gambling only when they have a lot of winnings. When gamblers lose a lot of money they are in depression due to which they have to make some wrong decisions and face huge losses to recover the lost money. However, we should not be overly greedy while gambling, if we win a little money, we should stop gambling.

The thing is, staking the money is the thrill that the fun is representing. Without it, gambling simply wouldn't be gambling. Now there's a difference between gambling to have fun vs gambling to profit though. While on paper, they're both playing while staking their money, one side is relying on the result to determine an external factor outside of the "fun" part, while the other doesn't. They differ in terms of what they encompass so to speak.

They may both gamble with the intention of making money but whatever comes after that part makes the two types of gamblers differ from each other. One side is expectant on having something after it (aka the money they "can" win), the other is well, just done with playing. If they win, then yay, is what they'd probably feel I guess. Except ofc if they win big. Anyone, regardless of whether their goal was to get rich or not, would absolutely go crazy if they win it big.

It mostly varies on an individual's goal, but not everyone gambles just to make money. Although, many gambles to make money or for financial gain, while for some, they gamble just for fun and entertainment. There are also some gamblers play as a way of escape from their stress or simply socialize with others.

I mean for sure, a huge part of gambling is to make a profit for the most part, And we can't really call it gambling anymore if money is not involved so that just means that money is a part of gambling, and if we are going to involved or risk money in gambling that just means that we are also expecting to earn a profit from it, you don't really want to risk your money without really expecting anything on return. It was just like throwing money anyway, any doesn't really going to make any sense right?

There are probably people who just gamble for entertainment but I think it wasn't like all for entertainment, It was because entertainment was the main goal but it doesnt mean that the gambler doesnt want to win some profit for sure, that just means that he just like to get entertain more than earning, There are times that I gamble just for entertainment I put up some amount like 30$ that I dont really care if I win or lose just for entertainment and make it interesting but if still who doesnt want to win and earn the reward.

It is normal that most people gamble to make money.The logic is simple as people who play slots with max wins multiplier of x10.000 are surely not going to risk the money for fun there,they are there with a super crystal clear intention which is to make more money or to multiply the initial balance.I personally go to gamble for the same logic,I have 100 dollars and risk them to make them 1000 or more through gambling.Is it easy?Absolutely not as the odds are always against us so we should go to gamble the money we have allocated for gambling and be happy with whatever result because as I said the odds are against us.

Truly there are people who risk their hard earned money to gamble so as to make profit I believe this is very common in countries where there is lack of employment opportunities for the youths thus they reverted to soccer matches betting to make end met and obviously they are making some decent money for their daily upkeep, many of them has in-depth knowledge about soccer leagues across Europe thus makes it easier for them to pick matches and stake with small fund which provide succour to them and daily bread and in those places they don't gamble for fun rather play bet to survive.

Well, that's the point of gambling. That's even in the definition of gambling

Quote

play games of chance for money; bet.

So it's kinda bizarre to gamble if you don't really aim to win a profit from it. Cause if it's not the profit that you want and you just want to entertain yourself, there's a lot of other entertainment out there without the need of risking or betting your money. Yeah, I get the point that you also gamble for entertainment but aside from that, there's also a hope of winning for the money.

Some people are okay with losing their money because it's just their extra money and they can afford to lose it. But it doesn't mean that they also have no intention of winning, right? It's like as a gambler, you gamble for the two main reasons:
1. Profit
2. Entertainment
It just depends on some gamblers what matters to them the most. But definitely these two are always the factor.

I don't understand what you mean by betting to answer the gambler's name, because what I know is that every time we gamble we definitely hope to win so that they make money.

Basically, people bet to win, even though in reality there are many people who actually suffer losses. If you gamble just for fun then whether you lose or not is not a big problem.
It is impossible for people to bet without the intention of making money, the difference is that people who bet for fun have much better control, compared to people who bet to win.

If you're staking your money with a chance to make money of course you'll wish that you can make money, whether it's an investment or gambling, if there's a possibility to make money we'll take that, we all need money, money sustain our needs.
If your favorite restaurant offers a contest or a cash giveaway for their customers, you're going to participate and hope that you win the contest or cash giveaway, it's part of our being human, we just want to get rewarded when we are putting in something valuable.

Although there are exceptions, there are chronic gamblers who just want to play for the sake of gambling, even if they win a lot of money and they have everything or even if they lose everything and they have no more money to gamble they will find a way because some gamblers are playing for the sake of playing, these are chronic gamblers, they don't care about money only the challenges of gambling.
