Topic: Do people truly risk their money on bets for profit? - page 3. (Read 1430 times)

If I’m to be asked to say my opinion about gamblers, my answer is that; about 99% of gamblers are doing it for money making and not for fun. Why would you risk your money to have fun when their are thousands of other things you can do to have fun without having to trouble your mind or sane self on the thought of not losing the money you’ve just placed on a bet. Gamblers gamble for money and not for fun and that’s just the fact.

Of course most people bet with the intention of making a profit, only a few do it for fun, that's why many people are miserable due to chasing luck in gambling, those who think like that will lose a lot of money compared to people who just have fun

If the owner of the machine said that you don't win money on that machine and that people will be playing using money, I highly doubt that we would see someone putting coins in the machine knowing that they won't win anything. So let's ask ourselves: don't people keep saying that they are going to play for fun and not for money, so why don't they accept playing on a machine that doesn't make money? If every country in the world that allows lotteries announced that people can continue to buy lottery tickets but that they will not win any money if they get the ticket correctly, instead the prize would be a photo that would be taken of the winner and placed on the lottery company website. How many people would keep buying the lottery ticket? In my opinion the answer is that probably less than 1% of people would continue to buy lottery tickets and all lottery companies would go bankrupt. if land-based casinos and online casinos kept saying that they would no longer pay money to winners

but instead of not giving money, people would be putting money into the games just to have fun, how many people would agree to put $10 into a plinko game knowing that if they hit any multiplier they won't win anything? And how many people would agree to place a bet on a football game knowing that they won't win money if they get the bet right? I highly doubt that someone would place $50 or $1000 on a bet knowing that if they manage to get the bet right they won't win anything. So no one will place bets. people like challenges and that in these challenges they are rewarded. for example when people are at school and study a lot

They are thinking about getting good grades and surpassing everyone in the school and being recognized as the best in the school. So they are not studying hard just to keep that knowledge and hide it from the world. They study hard to be rewarded both at school and in future employment. This is why we all play to make a profit, but as gambling is based on the odds that favor the house most, it is recommended that people play with only money they can afford to lose, money that will not harm them. accounts if the person loses

is it really worth it in the end? I believe that all of us gamblers are more oriented towards profit, not just the pleasure we get from paying for the game.
We have to be realistic, most gamblers still feel regret or disappointment when they experience a losing streak and very few wins. Even though this happens, every gambler will still return to the game and continue betting in the future.

lol, if it wasn't about making money, then I'm not sure why people would gamble at all?!  You can still play some of your most favorite games without the need for putting money on the table.  Take for instance Poker/Texas Hold'm..I love the game and will sometimes play just for the fun of it, not having anything to do with money.  I would imagine 95% of people whom gamble do so to make money.

I wouldn't say it's always about the money, it's also about the thrill of the game and the possibility of winning. The excitement and anticipation that comes with gambling is one you can't find else where or replicate, and that excitement alone is worth the risk of losing money on the process.

but there are people who gamble their money because they want to feel the excitement of gambling. they are very excited when they see the slot machines spinning or see the ball on the roulette machine spinning and almost hitting their number. maybe we will think that they are strange because how could they like to waste money like that, but that's gambling, sometimes you will find people who just want to have fun when gambling. because a gambler won't get this excitement when they just see the game going on, but when they put money into the game, that's where the excitement of gambling begins.

Placing a big bet can lead to big wins but it is a big risk and this risk cannot always be taken. Because no one can tell when someone will win something big. some can win big jackpot in just 2 to 3 bets and some can win 1 big jackpot in 100 bets now so how can you bet every single amount of your bet in big amount. so while gambling, you should always use that amount of money in gambling and keep single bets through which you can enjoy gambling for a long time and you can afford to lose.

The appetite for risk comes during the game, although usually at the beginning many of the players think that they will play just a little, but it gets sucked in and the player wants to get more intense sensations, which can only be achieved by increasing the risk. Surely many people have noticed that after betting $10, betting $1 or $2 is not at all interesting.

I am also interested in the fact that if suddenly a player is lucky and makes money after taking a huge risk, he may not calm down. Although from the outside it seems that there is nothing better than stopping the game, but the player is already so happy and under adrenaline he continues to take risks, he begins to like the very fact of this, it follows that they take risks not only for money.

Gambling is used by people in different fields but everyone's objective is to win because winning is always fun.  When someone plays games without gambling, they still try to win the game. because losing is never fun. And when one gambles, one must take the risk of gambling because no matter how much a gambler is addicted to gambling, even if they have the desire to win big, they also know that they can lose in gambling. so everyone must have to accept the gambling risk

That's the reality non-gamblers in real life would not understand. We are risk-takers; we know that we can lose our money, but we still try for a chance to grow our money. That's why it's always advised to limit gambling because of the fact that we lose more than we win, at least for most of us.



Losing is already a possibility. However, since we are gamblers and we love this kind of challenge, we are willing to risk, even if we lose. Most of us do not keep a record of our losses, so we will not feel that we are losing overall. Sometimes we hit, and that would be a big achievement on our part. It makes us happy and more inspired in gambling as we were able to conclude that it's not impossible to win. The word "limit" is just too important; we follow that, and we will last longer.

I strongly agree with that. Most gamblers lose, maybe that 80 percent is actually low, it could be 85-90 percent.
We are greedy, that's the natural behavior of a human. We want high multipliers even if it is in sports gambling so we do parlays to increase the profit as much as possible in just one low bet. But the risk gets higher and that's the reason why most of us are losers.

And I do agree with what OP said that we can still have fun watching the game without a bet. But if you start placing bets with sports and then watch them, the next you don't put any money on the line, the game becomes boring. Try it and I bet you will just do other things even if a good play is happening or the game is crucial. Unlike when you know you have money on the line, you will probably glue your eyes to the game and you don't want to miss anything, even a single call by the referee where you will react like you are part of the team.
That's the additional spice that is being given by betting on sports, it adds more excitement to the game.

            -   You know, mate, all gamblers who enter the casino are really risk-takers; all of them are ready to lose their bets in the casino. Because if they are not ready to lose, they will not even waste time depositing money on a gambling platform.

That's why casino players in any field of the gambling business are called gamblers. And then they expect that kind of defeat from a casino mate, because often gamblers in the gambling field are losers.

Gamble is just another option to all gamblers it's up to you for making your own choices on what to do with it, I mostly gamble for profits but not addicted same time I risk what I can afford to lose and other gamblers gamble for entertainment because they needs something to entertain themselves with. It's funny how people get addicted to things, as a gambler who's chasing loses you are risking your career as well, because you won't get what you are looking forward to get. If you risk you also think of winning and you might not win because you are chasing your losses. your mindset of winning a bet shouldn't be more than %20.

What you say is right. Many people change their habits from gambling to having fun to trying to make money. And yes, they become addicted to gambling when they're back at the casino too often. They want to make a profit from gambling, but unfortunately, they can't always get it.

When they use more money, they will have a chance to lose that money, especially if they lose self-control playing gambling. They risk their money to try to win, but they don't remember that winning gambling is difficult. They need to realize the fact so they don't try so hard playing gambling.

It needs to be awareness not to risk too much money to play gambling. They also need to consider luck matters that will not always come when they play.

Of course, many people want to win a lot of money and believe that this will certainly happen and they will win so much that their grandchildren will have it. But it is precisely from such players with such fantastic thoughts that gambling establishments make money. Without risk, it is impossible to win huge sums, unless we bet on many events and guess the winners in these matches, but this will be real luck, which only happens with a very small number of players. So to a large extent, the OP's statement is true. As a matter of fact, this is all that gambling houses need so that players risk large sums of money every time, and the whole business is built on this.

it's very difficult to do it like that. because in the brains of gambling players, especially beginners. they consider gambling to get more profits or you could say to double their money.
so they will have fun if they win, and be very sad if they lose. So there is no longer any such thing as having fun gambling even if you lose.

Even if someone doesn't gamble with friends and family members considering a social activity, there are still people who don't gamble only for monetary gains even if they don't deny that monetary gains are good and useful and they are the reason why the experience becomes fun.

Of course, no one gambles only to lose and says that they find it fun to lose all the time, that would be a lie if someone says that, but when someone says that they gamble for fun, it means that they find the experience fun and they don't push their limits to win some money at any cost even if they have to lose all their money in trying to pursue those profits.

Gambling for fun doesn't mean that the gambler doesn't enjoy their winnings, it's just that they don't overspend and find the experience fun while it lasts.

hahahaha I want to deny that sentence but that is the fact in the polarization of some gambling addicts, most of them want to benefit from gambling because they see or have earned money easily from gambling, even up to thousands of times, so they try it or continue to search for luck from gambling, yes including people who have fun too, they do excessive gambling, chase losses and eventually become true gambling addicts who every week or even every day spend their money on gambling and have hopes that it will be the last gambling for them to get bigger money.

I wanted to laugh at them, but was afraid of sinning. LOL

The majority of people gamble to make a profit fast from winning from gambling. And few percent of people play for fun and many of them convert from fun to earning and finally, they become addicted to gambling.
