From my opinion, I think there isn’t any need to stake or risk one’s money on a game simply because you want to catch fun when you could simply not risk your money and still have fun while watching same game.
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?

Well, that is really what gambling is, money is always involved just like that car racing movie that placed her girlfriend as a bet for the race that was still considered gambling as it risk something or someone from the competing team. I maybe wrong to call it desperate for us to get the winning but that is what we really are trying to target and why do we have to wish for something that goes against us most especially that means losing money right?

Yes you can gamble because you just want to have fun. Normally nobody like losing even if you are staking small amount of money. But as you stake small amount of money that you can afford to lose, that means you are not using gambling as a source of income although you will not like to lose but to win. You will see gamblers like that, that are staking small amount of money. So these gamblers fall under the category of gambling for fun.

I think this really depends on the personality of a person. Some people enjoy watching sports games and would never think about betting money on these games. Then there are people that are looking for more excitement and thrill and willing to bet on every game they watch. And then there is the category of gamblers that believe they have an advantage over others and want to make a profit from their bets. Most of us will likely be a mix of all those. Personally I am not going to bet on every match that I watch, but I find it more interesting if money is involved. Especially on big tournaments where the champion is not directly clear in the beginning, it's very exciting to have some longer lasting bets. People who follow their sports a lot and have deep insights can definitely make money from it, but I don't think it's 80%.

Sometimes the economy hardship of a country can cause members to do something they never believed they could went through, one of the means is in finding survival through the means of playing bets in gambling, they don't mind taking the risk at all cost, while you can only discover that only few engage in gambling for sun and not minding the way they may loose to gambling or not, everyone has his own intentions either for making money or fun, but that doesn't change wether we clare taking the risk or not whenever we are gambling, it's either we loose or win.

This is the lie some people tell themselves in order to feel relieved when they lose money in gambling; it is a form of reversed psychology mechanism that leverage on self denial.

Gambling is never fun unless to those who are addicted to gambling because it is only addiction that can make one derive fun from losing money. Gambling is business with the sole purpose being to make money.

Gamblers who say they gamble to get pleasure do not mean they have no intention of making a profit from gambling so they gamble carelessly, it's just that whatever results they get don't affect their enjoyment or their mental state so they will try to catch up if they lose and continue playing if they win because of gambling overpowering them.
I try to analyze matches carefully so that I can make a profit from sports betting, but that doesn't rule out the opportunity to lose, but the losses I get can still be accepted well, I have no desire to recover the money I have lost and will only return to playing when the funds used are still within the limits which are made.

Certainly yes. Even though the intention of a gambler at first is for entertainment, they will eventually get to the point where they will want more, as either they have a taste of winning or they experience great loss. Having a taste of winnings will make a gambler hunger for more; they will eventually expect more money or profit from it to the point that they will rely only on gambling, and that's when the worst happenings may come. Experiencing a great loss at first could make them risk more money as they will want to recover their losses. They will come to the point where it is too late for them to get back from gambling because of the amount they have lost, meaning they have a regret that nags them to gamble more because they need to recover the amount of money they have lost in gambling. These two scenarios can eventually make them suffer from gambling, from fun to suffering.

It's always going to be about money, everyone gambles because of money, fun is just another part that matters but it's not the main reason why we gamble, there are responsible gamblers and irresponsible gamblers, one needs to pick a side.

Since gambling is a very difficult game and not always easy to make money from, many turned it into a fun game and they risk small money only, if it's easier to make money in gambling many would accept that they are gambling for money only.

It's hard to beat the casino, that's why many turn gambling into a entertainment station, I am a responsible gambler because I know it's almost impossible to win the casino, and I don't want to get wrecked by the casino that's why I risk very small money.

Of course, most gamblers want to win or profit from their gambling activities. That's a normal thing, but the difference is, there are those who like to chase losses and there are those who still control their finances and accept their losses. These two differences will lead to different results in the end, those who like to chase losses will become addicts and those who accept losses will be fine.

So far I have never met anyone who gambles but doesn't want money or profit, everyone wants to win and of course they gamble to double their money.

I think you are mixing things up here. Gambling for fun doesn't mean they are not interested in making profits while gambling but it implies that one should not be so emphasize on the money making aspects. If you prioritize profit in gambling, you will definitely get disappointed at the end. Firstly, you will lose your money which can not be recovered again and Secondly, you will be depressed.

This is why it's recommend to gamble with amount that one can afford to lose so you can enjoy the fun and entertainment. Generally, gambling itself is an avenue designed to risk something and get something in return. On this note, the initial intention is to have some fun with your money and probably get some profit in return but unfortunately, majority of gamblers now focus on the profits side which is the reason we have addicts suffering from one challenge to other. So, yes, people actually gamble without the intention of making money but mainly for fun. There are games we play some times and from the beginning we know it won't bring us any profit but we still play it to enjoy the moment.

Do you really don't know the difference between as a player and as a watcher? everyone are excited to try anything that they see especially when it comes to entertainment, they want to feel the experience.

If someone don't feel fun while watching, you can't force them to feel fun by watching someone else gambling.

Only rich people can afford these types of fun. For them betting is like another source of spending fun time. Yes but the middle class people cannot afford these. They gamble in order to earn some extra money and take huge risk in each and every step. So the reason of gambling can vary from people’s bank balances. Now regarding the question asked by the OP, then yes majority of the gamblers gamble in order to make profits in shorter period of time. Hence they risk their money on bets for profit.

I equally agree with you when privilege people use gambling as another source of spending fun time while less privileged takes betting has an alternative means of get more money, I strongly believe that almost 90% of gambler are gamble to make more money because some see it as free and easy money, only few of them work harder to get the money they use in playing game and those are the only ones that view it not to be free money because they know how they source the money they used, some of them don't work for the money they are using sometime they collect it from family and friends and I think the main purpose is to make more money from there,

If I gamble without zero intentions to make any money, they I should as well go fishing or go swimming. Whenever our monies is staked on something even if it we meant to have fun, we expect that we should at least win something. There is always. An intention to win and anyone who tells you otherwise isn't being honest with you.
Even when I use 1% of my income to gamble and thisnia money I can afford to lose, I still expect to win.

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.

Gambling without using money is not gambling, period. Gambling is often talked about as entertainment or fun but without using money it would not be the same, the emotion of winning or losing is what makes it fun (as long as it is played responsibly, otherwise it can become a drama).

When people bet, everyone wants to win money, the problem is people who bet on non-skill games and think that they are a good way to earn money in the long term or people who play skill games without putting in the dedication, study and effort required to make money.

If based on what actually happens then the answer is correct, most gamblers take risks by risking money for profit and this is the goal of most gamblers out there.
If it were not for the purpose of profit, it would be impossible for many gamblers to become addicted, experience financial problems and really think they could change their lives from gambling and not just about having fun because the percentage of gambling just for fun is still very small.
Moreover, it can be seen that every gambler wants profits and profits in gambling are one of the achievements they want and hope for, but they will get various problems if they prioritize profits alone.

Most gamblers gamble their money for profit, and some for fun. Because not everyone expects money from their gambling, there are gamblers who think that gambling can make them feel the thrill of playing and it can improve their mood. They usually gamble with money they are prepared to lose and they don't care about winning or losing money - the most important thing is that they can feel the excitement of gambling, because gambling without money is no fun.

In my opinion, every gambler always wants to make a profit in their gambling activities. Because this is the basic trigger why people want to gamble. Because if, for example, gambling does not have the potential to make money, then it is certain that not many people will enter the realm of gambling.
But even though we seek profits in gambling, we definitely still get pleasure. Whether it's from feelings or when hanging out with friends at a gambling place (offline). But what is clear is that gambling is fun. So here I will draw the conclusion that gambling can be as fun as it is now, namely because there is the potential to make a profit. So my answer is related to your question, mine is not.

Because if for example we gamble without any desire or intention to make money, then what do we want in gambling? because basically gamblers can have fun because they make a profit. So, for example, if you gamble without the intention or desire to make a profit, in my opinion gambling will be very empty. Because you don't have a clear goal. Even if, for example, you intend to gamble just for fun, I don't think it will satisfy or please you. You can try, and prove it.

Those are different kinds of fun. Watching a game without making a bet can be fun too, but it is not the kind of fun that one experiences when there's money at stake. There's not much adrenaline and the thrill is not as high if you're just watching.

If you're just watching a game, your team could just lose. You don't care as much. You won't lose anything anyway. But if you are betting on them. They have to win. You're risking something after all. You cheer much harder. You are more affected in a game where you have a bet than if you don't have. You will definitely celebrate more whenever your team makes a point if you have a stake than if you don't have.

It would be wrong to say that they risk money greedily, but they usually risk money with the expectation of profit. Before gambling, our thoughts of greed come before our thoughts of profit. Every gambler decides to gamble thinking that they will make money by gambling. That is, the objective of a gambler is to make money, after making a profit, when the gambler expects more from gambling and takes high risks in such gambling, then we can consider that as greed, but the next step of profit is greed. From our childhood we have come to know that excessive greed never gives us anything good, big excessive greed robs us of good things. In one gamble I won and won a lot of money but later gambled again with more money but the result is not likely to come in my favor still I took this risk only out of greed then how rational is it for me to take this risk. Before making these greedy decisions, we must think about how greedy we are and how much greed is right for us.
