There are things that may be a bit difficult to explain, but I think the statement that 80% of people gamble to make a profit is true. Moreover, the majority of gamblers are from the lower middle class. So the main goal is to make a profit. But a small portion of the rich population gambles just for fun because they play with their little money, which for many people may be quite valuable. This mindset cannot be generalized to mean that gambling is only to make a profit. I myself come from a lower middle class, of course I also think that I have to make a profit when gambling.
Your point cannot be denied because it is the middle or lower class people who are usually desperate to make money from gambling. They try to make quick money. How to get rich fast A rich person has less of such a desire even though the rich try to get richer. But the poor are less likely to earn money from gambling. Rich and poor alike should not think of profiting from gambling. We consider it the logical conclusion to accept general gambling as fun. Those who take up gambling to make money are more likely to lose. I think there is no specific category for responsible gambling. Both rich and poor can do it.

I came across a recent topic where the op was saying over 80% of gamblers gamble to make money and I had to have a dip thought on that and was curious as to know if there are possibilities that people gamble just for the sake of answering the name gambler?
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?
Nearly eighty percentage of the gamblers are doing gambling for the money making.
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?
The gambler who want to make the money in the gambling should ready to risk the money using in the gambling site.Because making money in the gambling site is not the easy one,as we know the gambling had two set of game.One is casino,which is used by the most of the gamblers.Because it was based on the prediction of the game,if the gambler had failed to predict for once.The gambler are force to loss the funds at that time,So it continues till your prediction was correct.The second one is sports betting,this is more easy if you have the sports knowledge.But the random betting in the sports betting was never accepted one,because random betting will give you loss.

In gambling, it is believed that best way to engage in the game is to gamble for fun but like you said, I can authoritatively say that more than 80% of gamblers engage in it because the fact that they want to make a living out of it. And the one who doesn't depend on it to make a living engages in gambling to make profits and that's why I think most people take all the necessary risk they can take on betting just to make profit.So many gamblers do play down the fact that the main reason they engage in gambling is to make significant profits out of it but wether they accept it or not, it doesn't change the fact that most gamblers engage in gambling because of the profits
I think the part of the fun people always refer when gambling is also associated to winning, many people deliberate on the issue about playing gambling strictly for fun but the truth is fun is Winning, or do you cash fun when you lose? I definitely would think not, so this issue of playing gambling for fun purposes is widely exaggerated because the core purpose of gambling itself is winning and earning profits.
Gambling is fun when the games are played based on the enjoyment and entertainment of it and not the winnings as the primary motive behind the session, as for what makes a game enjoyable we may mention winning since that is the only way we can stay motivated and enjoying the game more but above that also is the overall mindset of taking gambling for just relaxation activities and not the money aspect of things as many mistakes it to be.Gambling is way more than what we intend it to be and the casinos take the time to develop the games in such a way that it gives players some form of excitement and entertainment reason why some gamblers keep playing even when the outcome is not in their favor in some cases.

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.If someone is greedy enough in gambling, then he will only feel happy when he succeeds in achieving quite a large number of wins. Because he will only feel happy when he feels satisfied enough. Meanwhile, someone who is greedy enough will never feel satisfied, they will continue to feel lacking even after winning. So in other words, it will be quite difficult for someone who is greedy enough to get pleasure from gambling.
And the easiest thing to be able to enjoy gambling is not to be too greedy in gambling, and being able to understand that being able to win at gambling is not something that is easy enough for us to achieve, is something that is quite important.
Be grateful for every win we get and accept every loss we experience, never behave silly by continuously placing bets to return and recover a loss experienced previously. And one more thing, never compare the wins we get with the wins other people get, because it is impossible that everyone will have the same luck at the same time.
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.
If they don't stake or risk their money, the game isn't going to be fun anymore. The fun consists in risking money, because it plays with variables and impacting outcomes for their lives. If there isn't money at stake, to lose or win won't make any difference at all, as it's not going provoke consequences, therefore, thrill, excitement and adrenaline won't be felt by the gambler.A similar example could be a competition where there aren't winners or losers, and everyone gets a trophy in the end. For that reason, competition's members won't feel motivated to do their best on the tasks required, neither will feel proud of themselves or excited about the results in the end. Probably they won't even want to participate again in future competitions.
The possibility of being rewarded, while most lose, and standing out among the crowds always awake the pride and vanity of human beings. It feels like being special and unique. That is how gambling affects your mood positively when you win.
What I’m trying to say is that, the fun in gambling is felt more when the winnings are more, I’m sure you already know that nothing is certain in gambling and the moment a player stakes a game, automatically the player is already hoping to make a win and the ability to forfeit and take losses is what makes one a rigid gambler which doesn’t mean the impact of the loss isn’t felt.
I’m not actually kicking against other’s opinions but what I’m trying to say is that personally I think the fun in gambling is felt mostly when the winning are more if you think I’m wrong, I think you should try conducting a little physical survey in your local community if gambling is permitted

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.
Handling fun around gambling is something most persons have got different approach to, they have their way with which they see gambling in the sense of fun or entertainment, some persons see it as a way of showing support to their team while having fun and the others see it as proving they are good with such predictions.The gambling industry will definitely get even much more bigger than it is now because they are getting new customers daily so it's not a problem for them to actually grow, if they weren't getting enough customers as they should then it could be possible that they will not get as big as they are getting in recent times. Gambling is actually supposed to be for fun and not aimed at Making money but then its turned out that making money is now like the primary reason most persons gamble

No gambler risk money just to be known as a gambler, they all gamble with the aim of winning or have fun or more likely to be seen as entertainment as many others may have it to say, if you are gambling just to be referred to as a gambler the. I think you don't ha e a good reason why you are gambling as it will seem to me like you are just acting on peer pressure which shouldn't be, you should gamble for a reason if you must and such reason should mostly be that you intended to make money gambling or you are going to be gambling just to get entertainment.Nearly eighty percentage of the gamblers are doing gambling for the money making.

There are people who actually gamble without the intention to make money but I don't think there's any who gambles with the intention to just gamble and not to make money or even have fun at least.
There's really nothing wrong of any purpose you are having as long as you are not being problematic of your gambling career. There'll be times you are winning and times you would lose. If you manage to accept this concept then it is not impossible for you to balance your gambling habits and expenses, which should be everyone's practice especially for the new ones out there.
It is difficult to define whether it is true that most gamblers only gamble to make a profit or make extra money whereas until now there has been no confirmed statistics that 80% is true.
from my opinion, even though we gamble just to have fun, like playing video games, but of course we want to win in every game and it's impossible if we play video games, we only want to accept defeat and on the one hand, we gamble using money and what is it when gamblers who are having fun want to getting a win is also a gambler who wants to make money?
well, from here I say my opinion that there is no hypocrisy in gambling because all gamblers want to win even if it's just for fun, but that doesn't mean they can be considered as gamblers who want profit.
and I think no one wants to lose money quickly so gamblers who have fun definitely also want to win at least a few times in each spin.
In conclusion, not all gamblers bet for profit but all gamblers want small wins to maintain their budget.

I am not sure to say that it's about 80% of gamblers that have taken gambling as a means of earning money, but I am quite sure that there are a high number of gamblers who handle gambling as a side hustle, a definite way of making money and supporting their financial lives.
If you remember vividly about a thread I created some months ago where my friend requested that I teach her gambling so that she can start to earn money, To her, she already believes that gambling is a way to earn money without realizing the losses that come with it. I also wondered how people who taught her that gambling was a means of earning money would handle their gambling lifestyle.
I don't dispute the fact that gambling doesn't also give us the opportunity to win some money while gambling and having fun, but the truth is that gambling is not a sustainable way of making income because it can be addictive and can cause someone to lose money unnecessarily.
I have seen some people gamble at all times, specifically for the purpose of making money, and I have also seen people who gamble only on occasions for the purpose of having fun. It all depends on what the person wants.

There are people who actually gamble without the intention to make money but I don't think there's any who gambles with the intention to just gamble and not to make money or even have fun at least.
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.
Everything about gambling is risky whether we are aware about that not. Since risk is involved then we must be very conscious our we bet so that we don't use all our funds to bet and end up losing big as a result of carelessness. Many GG gamblers have the ideology of using small amount of what they have to bet so that they can win more with time and sometimes things might not come our way the ways we we expected it that is why we must always keep extra funds ina safe place so that if we don't win, we can use the remaining money to go get ourselves something chill and relax for the day preparing for yet another time to gamble. Gambling need to be flexible or else we would be making mistakes over and over again without getting a good result.
When you bet, you are already risking your money since the outcome is not under your control. It's a guessing game; when you are correct, you'll make money, and if you are wrong, you'll lose money. I don't think we are talking about profit here since that word is typically used by serious gamblers who take a long-term approach. The appropriate term for what we practice is to win, and most of those are just short-term wins. Regardless, we are still happy when we win, and we don't account for our previous losses anymore since we are just gambling for fun, at least for most of us.
Profit or win is just a term to describe that your bankroll increase. It depends on your perspective to set a distinction on both words but they are the same to me. You will get profit when you win or you win because you are in profit. They are connected to each other in a sense.
I think the OP is describing whether there is player that gambling that doesn’t consider winning/to gain profit when gambling which I find it very rare unless the gambler is a billionaire that already have sufficient money but we all know that human has no limit when it comes to earnings.

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 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.
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.
