Topic: Do people truly risk their money on bets for profit? - page 4. (Read 1430 times)

If a gambler will understand what is his real intentions why he is into gambling and keep his promise to himself the extent of how he will play his games, he won't subject himself to potential trouble of gambling. But the reality is not many gamblers can stick to their targets, especially when he is enjoying his games and don't want to stop.

One of the things that allows casinos to survive so far is because there is a huge profit that they get from many gamblers who lose and obviously most of them are gamblers  who always go overboard in treating their gambling activities, on the other hand, we may have often heard that overall the real victory is only for casinos because most gamblers always suffer a losing amount which basically happens slowly and sometimes they don't realize it.

The point is that the purpose of casinos is for their own profit and you've already said that this is a profitable business for casinos and that means that gamblers will never be able to make a living from this activity which is basically nothing more than a probability activity that only provides "possibilities" and not a definite reality. On the other hand that doesn't mean that pleasure gamblers won't accept winnings, pleasure is just an idea so that you don't take gambling too seriously and it's clear that if you have a goal to earn then surely you will do everything you can to earn, while on the other hand there is absolutely no certainty and as already said that the purpose of establishing casinos is for their own profit because this is a business that hides behind "chance". On the other hand as you said and I agree with that we  cannot simply conclude that all gamblers come to earn, because there are always some gamblers who come with the right understanding that in the end they have the recommended approach to gambling.

It's true that there are two types of gambling: fun and profitable. Although the two aren't incompatible, I believe it's critical to understand the distinction between the two as your reasons for gambling might influence how you approach the game. A person who gambles for entertainment purposes, for instance, is probably going to stick to their spending limit and make more sensible decisions than a person who is gambling for profit, who is probably going to take more chances and pursue their losses.

There are surely varied motivations behind gambling which distinguish between those who do it for entertainment and enjoyment versus those who prioritize making a profit. People engage in gambling for diverse reasons, and not all are solely driven by the desire to make money. Indeed, many people view gambling as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the movies or attending a sporting event. They enjoy the thrill of the games, the social aspect of being in a casino, or the challenge of testing their luck. For them, the primary motivation is not financial gain but rather the experience itself.

There are people who see gambling as a means to make a profit that treats it more like an investment or business venture. They may employ strategies, study odds, or focus on certain games where they believe they have an edge. Their priority is on maximizing returns, even if it means sacrificing some of the enjoyment typically associated with gambling.

Despite these differing motivations among gamblers, casinos are indeed profit-driven enterprises. Their primary goal is to generate revenue, and they employ various tactics to ensure that they remain profitable in a competitive market. Understanding these distinctions is important in discussions surrounding gambling, because it implies the complexity of human behavior and motivations.

I’m not against people gambling basically for fun but meh I don’t know how they possibly do this but my problem are for those who aren’t sincere with why they gamble and simply follow those who claim they gamble for fun simply because they don’t want to looked at negatively.
If you’ve gone through the thread you’ll understand that I’ve been speaking for myself here as I believe everyone is responsible for their opinion and there isn’t any need to argue what others believe as we all have our different opinions on a particular subject matter which gambling isn’t exempted.

There are several other games one can still engage with without getting to gamble and risking their hard earned money and maybe we should see my post more like a wake up call to remind people that these casinos are in for making money and we should be conscious of every decision and actions we take and make on their platforms rather than just mere fun.

The truth being difficult to admit in what context as I don't get. Obviously the casinos are absolutely created for making profits and that's their motivation to stay on in the competitive  business environment but this is not same for the gambler who might have two different opinions on why he is into gambling and you can't be so quick to accuse anyone of not admitting a truth if they chose to be on the side of those gamblers that gamble for the fun and entertainment they enjoy from the games, while others priority could be to make profit even if they are not having fun. Our priorities could be different as gamblers but that of the casinos remain same and unchanged.

Unless we want to lie to ourselves and pretend under the umbrella of gambling fun, everyone is guilty of gambling for money. In my country where even the women has now resort to gambling like it's the new way of employment, they gamble to make money because they believe that with consistency, they are going to win a mega odd that will help them return their loss and huge amount of profit and they actually do make the money and the fun of such gambling is that they use small amount they can lose so they don't regret later.

Everyone gamble to make money but not everyone gamble for fun, there are people that actually gamble for the fun of it but they are only few that does that, thw rest even on this forum do it for the money, there is nothing to be ashame of it because the gambling platforms are coming here to take away the money investors have here and you can't tell they are making a lot here that's why even after many years, there announcement thread is active and always open to help out anyone with problem on their platform, it's pure business for profits.

It's like this, particularly things when it comes to gambling are very different depending on the needs of the person, generally the player will always claim that he wants to make money, that's normal, I don't dispute it, I think we all want to make money, no. There are doubts about that, but you have to know how to play in a casino if we want to win money, the first thing we must accept is that in a casino it is very common to lose, losing can be for many the worst thing but it is something that is common in casinos. It seems normal because casinos are businesses, companies where they have to ensure their profits, and that is why there is a lot of talk about the topic of the house edge, it is not for any reason, it has its reason for being, and you don't know how It is known that we, as good players, must mature that knowledge so that it does not take us by surprise when playing.

Continuing with this, many peons do play out of necessity, because they need to cover their expenses and needs, and sometimes they resort to the casino, which does not seem appropriate to me, for example in 2021 during the pandemic, things focused a lot on the online jobs and about casinos, because many people chose to try their luck with casinos to see if they could win some money, some did, others were not so lucky and lost, but I will always recommend that you do not play out of necessity, first to play for fun and to have a different time, because it can be very dangerous to risk our money, our assets and then lose it, that is something I would not wish on anyone.

It is very funny how the truth is always very difficult to admit even when it is obvious and that’s a typical example of pride and in most cases I think a lot of people are already getting a lot of things very wrong not to insert that that these casinos are here to make money and those money comes from ours losses and why are we shy to boldly say I’m into gambling for money ?
I personally believe the first target of a gambler is to make profit while having fun but also at some point, most gamblers bet even without getting to watch the match and still get all the joy and fun as long as their ticket is getting through but I think the fun when making money and enjoying a game is second to none.

Trying to make money in gambling is not unreasonable. But not everyone can earn money form it. Those who choose gambling only to make money may rather lose their wealth in gambling. A gambler should gamble with the assumption that he will lose. Money can be earned from gambling but there is no guarantee so the gambler must take risks. No matter how experience a gambler or skill full, he can never be sure when he will win or whether he will win. If gambling is considered part of entertainment then gambling is not a problem.

whosoever told you that is correct. The bottom line to why we all gamble is that we could make some profits in as much as we also catch the fun that comes with the activity. I am not sure anyone would pick interest in gamble for the sole aim of answering a gambler as I don't see the prestige and honour attached to the name gambler in any society of the world.

Catching the fin as a spectator is quite different from when you're an intrinsic part of the game. I am sure all gamblers' here can attest to how they feel different with the fun when they are taking action on the games from when they probably just followed a colleague to the gamble house just to keep company on a certain day they wish not to gamble. It's an experience you don't need to be told.

I think what is meant by gambling for fun does not mean that you gamble with the aim of losing, meaning that the idea and aim of fun will be useful to divert your mind from the aim of "earning" because clearly that is too dangerous an approach because gambling is not the place to earn money, that doesn't mean you have a goal of enjoyment and then you don't want to take the winnings when you're really lucky, one of the reasons is because who doesn't need money? Everyone needs money to meet their daily needs and when they succeed in winning, it is clear that the better thing to do is to cash it out as quickly as possible.

Let's straighten out that as I said above, one of the reasons why gambling is for fun is because we can avoid several actions out of control due to gambling with the aim of making a profit, in essence it will be easier for you to become a responsible gambler if basically you don't treat gambling seriously, you have also said that we don't like losing and that's normal but gambling is always about risky activities which means you have to have a way to minimize the possibility of losing if you want to stay involved in gambling, and one way is by gambling with a budget that you can be responsible for if you lose.

Haha, you can`t address people who don’t gamble for money as crazy. Yes, it is possible to gamble without the aim of making money. Even though conventionally, gambling is often associated with winning money or other material goods, there are instances where individuals engage in gambling activities without the primary goal of making money. Gambling can serve as a social activity where friends or family members come together to enjoy each other’s company while participating in games like poker or bingo. The camaraderie and shared experience can be more important than any monetary winnings. For instance, a group of friends gathers regularly for a game of poker, using chips instead of real money. The focus is on friendly competition and spending time together rather than monetary rewards.

In some cases, people may turn to gambling as a way to escape from stress or boredom. The immersive nature of certain games can provide a temporary distraction from real-life concerns, even if there is no expectation of winning money. For instance, an individual struggling with anxiety finds relief in visiting a nearby casino and playing slots for relaxation purposes. While hoping for wins, the main goal is to destress and enjoy the experience. Another instance where gambling occurs without the primary goal of making money is in charity events or fundraisers. Organizations often host casino nights or raffles as a means of raising funds for charitable causes. Participants purchase tickets or chips to play various games, knowing that their contributions go towards supporting a good cause rather than personal financial gain.

Just like you did stated this is your opinion but then with others it's absolutely different because they would not probably enjoy the game well enough or have as much fun as they would want to have if they don't bet or gamble on such game, every body have their own unique and peculiar way of having fun so if it doesn't seem reasonable to you, it aswell doesn't stop the fact that it's fun for some other persons, your fun may not be the definition of fun to another person and it's very okay to not make a deal out of it what matters is the fact that they are all having enough fun.

Your intentions are actually stated clearly and you should know too that there are people who actually gamble just for fun and not to make money because probably they are wealth enough already nd so they just want to have fun and not necessarily make money off gambling.

We have main goal to yield profits in the system. Professional have grown and they don't easily lose money in the system, instead they reciprocate their energy to becoming promising and dependent in the space. In gambling, we can become prosperous and also become frustrated, well it depends on the sides we chooses to belong. Risky your money on gambling have turn out to be a usual activity that happen daily in the system. We just have to hook up with appropriate measures, that's one basic intention to grab major opportunities in the system.

It's very possible, although it doesn't mean that those who gamble for fun are not welcoming of the wins they might get, they don't specifically gamble for the gains, and even if they do, they just do it to try their luck and aren't spending a lot of money and chasing their losses and losing everything they have because they want to earn something from gambling but they do it casually with a fixed budget, have some fun, and if the money is lost, they are out and that's it. No regret, no remorse.
When you talk about rich people gambling for gains, I don't believe you because what I've mostly seen is that rich consider gambling a rich activity that they do to kill time and have some fun, they barely care when they lose because they don't spend all their wealth on it.

So they are just gambling to lose and have fun? I don't totally get it; why would you gamble without an intention to win? Isn't it more fun if you are winning in gambling as well? I mean, that should be the main goal while we are gambling, but we are different from professionals since we aren't focused on gambling.

If we have time, we do it and enjoy it, win or lose, we still enjoy, but we are human. We don't feel good when we lose since we won't gamble a small amount to get entertained; it should be an amount that we feel the thrill. And once we feel the thrill in gambling, we can be happy or sad based on the outcome of our gambling.

I think their minds are filled with gambling so they can spend all the money they have to the lowest point. Because maybe they expect the winnings that can be obtained, there are indeed wins in gambling that can be obtained, but that should not be pursued. Because by pursuing victory it will only make them lose self-control until they spend all their money. But to be clear, I also don't know for sure but the big possibility is that they have a victory and expect more from gambling.

In gambling, of course, the risk is definitely there and it is certain to happen because in gambling there are two possibilities of winning or losing, but clearly defeat will dominate more than victory. Therefore, we should be able to accept the risk of losses that will be obtained, betting for profit is certainly not wrong but what is wrong is how to respond to it, that's my own opinion.

I called myself a responsible gambler because of two reasons.

1. I don't expect too much from gambling anyways, for many its a way to lose everything.

2. I always risk little amount, so even if I win, it won't be life changing.

The lesson to learn from this is not to be greedy with gambling, since everything about it is not certain why risk a lot of money on it as if you already know what the result will look like?

I want to make few dollars with luck when gambling, but to have that rest of mind and also be able to enjoy my time I choose to always go smaller on money spent, if my $1 can turn into $10 I am satisfied.

it's not impossible. there are some gamblers who gamble just for entertainment or to improve their friendships, for example in china, singapore, etc., there are quite a lot of people who gamble to be with their friends just to have fun and build their friendships. so never assume that all gamblers gamble just to make money, because not all gamblers are like that.
