Topic: Do people truly risk their money on bets for profit? - page 9. (Read 1796 times)

I disagree.  You spend money to go see a game live in person because it entertains you.  The activity of gambling brings a certain level of entertainment for me.  So I might not be of the majority but I don't gamble purely to make money.  I dare you to go play poker with fake money and then real money.  The game is completely different with money.  Its a level of competition you can't get with fake money games.  Same for sports betting.  I have my favorite teams but gambling on teams I'm not particularly interested in allows me more "entertainment" watching that game.

What happens is that each person has their own way of seeing things, each person has a different economy, they have many ways to spend their money according to their ability, that is what we should see as the first option, once we have Of course, there are people who think differently than others, some say that a casino is worthless because they need to make money and they only think about multiplying that money, and if they do it well, but in most cases they are not successful and that is You just have to think, that's why when there is a type of eprsoans who think like this, you have to realize (sometimes by yourself and mostly through bad experiences) that this is like that, that is, you can't see a casino to make or generate income, much less see it as a job.

According to this, many phrases arise, that playing in the casino is for fun, and yes, it is only a cliché to save some things that may be seen badly, but we all know and are aware that whoever enters a casino is with the intention to win, that is something natural, but to make things better, before this every person "should" know that entering a casino means that the money you put into betting or risking can be lost in its entirety, that is something for sure, to avoid these things we have to take preventive measures for us as players, like the ones I have always said, if you control spending in a casino or the money you are willing to lose, it is the best strategy (for me), but there are other people who opt for self-control, that is, managing emotions, but that is something that I do not trust, because it is very easy for one to let oneself be carried away, we are human, we feel, and we will always have the desire to believing in ourselves or being so positive that we end up betting more than we should even without leaving ourselves with nothing, that is what should be avoided.

The truth is that people who gamble for fun don`t let themselves lose so much that can result in depression. It is common for people who desire to make extra cash from gambling to keep chasing losses and then get more problems for themselves. People who gamble for fun are always moderate with their stake and moderation is measured by the income of the gambler. What can be moderate for gambler A can be extra vagant for gambler B. A gambler who gambles for fun will always treat the money used for gambling as entertainment expenses rather than an investment or potential source of income.

It is proper not to be guided by greed as you have noted but it is difficult to stop gambling when you win little. It is easier said than done. Well, I don`t advocate that people should stop gambling after winning but I think that whether you win or not only gamble with an amount you are prepared to lose. Set a limit and stake to it because that`s the only saving grace.

Yes, that's only a small part of people who can do that and have fun without wanting money, rich gamblers also want money if they get it, but if they don't get it, just think of it as entertainment for them, it's true that 100% of them are all focused on money, but some of them just change his mindset and don't try to emphasize getting money from the games he plays, who in this world doesn't like money in gambling which is quite large, everyone definitely likes money, so actually gambling for money or not depends on just the way of thinking.

In fact, some of the gamblers I saw wanted to have fun, not looking for excuses, but they tried to force themselves to change their mindset so that they were not focused on money, as is usually done by poor gamblers who are too obsessed with money and end up addicted to gambling. So actually it all depends on each person's views and what really differentiates each gambler is their mindset when gambling, so try not to prioritize money when gambling, the point is to have fun and enjoy the game.

Another fact is that there are some people who gamble by believing that if they lose at one casino then they will change casinos to gamble again with the words "maybe at the new casino I can win" actually there is no guarantee that they can win by moving to another casino. new casino. As you experience, you tend not to win even if you switch to a new casino. and I think you represent many people who think they can win by gambling at a new casino. and the goal is the same for profit, but continuing to do it like that cannot guarantee that they will be able to get a profitable victory.

In my opinion, losing money in a casino is something that is certain and cannot be avoided, because it is clear that winning and losing will be the end of the gambling we do, but what is clear is that we will lose more often. However, if you want to gamble and don't want to lose money or don't want to make a deposit, you can do demo-based gambling, but of course this will be different from gambling using real money. No matter how big a win we get in demo-based gambling, it will not satisfy our feelings.

Exactly! actually, more than 80% of gamblers why they always gamble, the reason is the profit that can be won. Other players are not going to waste their time if they have nothing to gain from it, especially when money is involved. We know that everything now, every action needs money so it's impossible that they didn't want to win. even the rich who gamble just for fun, somehow still expect to win. you won't see anyone gambling just for fun, everything revolves around money.

Certainly, the main goal of many people who gamble is always to make money because although gambling is something that depends entirely on luck it also allows you to earn money quite easily. Of course, the situation I'm talking about here is only valid if the luck factor is also a strong factor.

As someone who gambles for fun, I would like to say that I always have a goal of making money when I gamble but unlike gambling addicts if I lose the entire budget I set, I don't continue gambling by adding more. So, although the main purpose is to have fun by spending time playing gambling games, there is naturally an expectation of making money as there is always a possibility of winning. On the other hand, I would like to point out that if I need 100 units of money when I have 10 units of money, I have never had a goal of multiplying it in gambling and having 100 units of money from it. So, although the main goal is never to make money it can be quite normal to think about possible earning possibilities and have expectations.

From a general point of view, of course people risk money to win, but on the other hand, people only think cursorily so they don't expect too much because, if they hope too much to win, they will get carried away with the game which without realizing it will cost them more money.

I think it is much more than that, close to 100%. If you're betting money without having in mind to win money, I don't know if you know what you're doing. I think that anyone who says they gamble for entertainment is looking for an excuse because the main thing is to win money, it is the possibility of winning money that makes gambling an enjoyable activity.

I am in support to say that majority of the people that gambles chases profits but I can't bet it that they are of 80%.
I can also tell you not to believe on those who blabs against gambling for profits. Lot of people tends to take the ways of the majorities. So, basically, since it some certain responsible gamblers agitates that gambling shouldn't be of making profits, the rest of the gamblers who gamblers for profits then hides themselves under the identity of those who don't gamble for profits.
It is even something of madness just as OP said that you can't intentionally spend your money in a state of your awareness that it is risky and with the potentials to cause emotional breakdowns and yet we all dips into it in the name of having fun. Lie. Even the best hobbies we have can't not be spent with such amount of money we looses on gambling and yet we says we should gamble for fun.
But however, it is encouraging to have the insightments of fun while gambling so that you can overcome that state of emotional breakdowns and do also, you would be mindful on how you spends your funds on activities that would have you just funs because there are necessary responsible expenditures that requires mush of those spendings other than that of funs.
The orientation of gambling for fun might be false and forceful to us but it would be wise if we sticks by it so it could have us limitations of how eager we could be pleased to spend our time and resources just for gambling that has all tendencies that we could loose our funds nomatter how much we must have got.

What you are saying is a recommendation for every gambler so that they always use gambling to have fun in their spare time. Even though we hope to win, we don't need to gamble too seriously because gambling is entertainment. We just let the winnings come to us so we only need to enjoy gambling in moderation. If we lose, we must accept it because that is our risk in gambling. We cannot recover from losses easily or chase wins because we will not have big opportunities in gambling.

Yes, they can use their money to meet their daily needs or gamble. They need to pay attention to how they can manage their money well and fulfill their daily needs besides using their money for gambling. If they can balance everything, no problems will occur and they can still enjoy gambling as entertainment in their spare time. They have to change their mindset to get a win from gambling because it is very difficult to achieve so they just need to gamble casually while enjoying their free time.

Its normal with those kind of reactions or emotions since we are humans. If you arent that having those kind of emotions then what does it mean? We do play gambling for thrill and excitement
and most of the time it would really be that pertaining on making profits in the end of the day. We do risk money to earn money and this is why it would really be that best that you should really be playing gambling for the sake of fun so that you wont really be that putting up yourself on being addicted because once you have been shackled by addiction then its so damn hard to get out. I did really come into a point that i have that become a bit addicted with gambling and luckily i was able to control myself on the time that i have those money shortage due to those kind of problems which i cant be able to sustain because of too many loans.

What I am trying to say is that winning makes us happy but losing makes us sad. When a gambler keeps winning one after another then he will be very happy in mind and when everything is good for him but if the opposite happens if he keeps losing one after another then he will look depressed. A gambler does not always gamble for fun, but before taking it for fun, he plans to make a profit by gambling. But what you said that we should never over covet is absolutely true and we should always follow this. 

In a gamble we get the result we expected then we should not take another gamble but that time we should think about taking a break and give our brain some time so that the brain can make the right decision and the tension so that the brain does not take any wrong decision. If we can gamble like that, I don't think the outcome of the gamble will always go against us.

For me, gambling is just to have fun but I also hope to make a profit, but if not, then I consider it unlucky and I can still accept my defeat. Please note that most people who bet definitely want to make a profit, even watching the match, it's not fun if they haven't. betting because it can provide its own challenges for bettors, if the result is losing they can still accept it because gambling is full of risks.

I think this is not a problem because it is up to them to use their money for whatever it is. Whether for gambling or for fun, but the big possibility is that they want to make a profit by risking everything even though this is not necessary because risking all the money just to gamble can cause unnecessary losses even though they are having fun. Because I'm sure the more they gamble, the more losses they will incur and the fun can turn into disappointment.

There is no fun in gambling when you come to earn, even if there is you will definitely not pay much attention and feel it because fun is not your goal, and I can already confirm that when you have the intention and purpose of gambling to earn then obviously the number of trials will definitely be more than gamblers who come just for leisure and also with the aim of fun. and certainly is that you will end up suffering a lot of stress from the many losing situations you experience, we must understand that gambling is a "possible" activity which means there is no certainty that you can always win and when you don't win, In the event that you've got a lot of time on your hands, you're going to want to make sure that you've got a good idea of what you're going to be doing and what you're going to be doing.

This is why it is always advisable not to put any expectations or goals other than fun in gambling, because if you are too serious especially with the goal of earning then obviously the number of tries will be more frequent while the overall victory always depends on how lucky you are in running the session, no matter how skilled you are because luck is an important aspect in gambling. The point is as I said that fun will turn into tension when you have the goal of earning.

The intention to profit is still there because they stack up even if you gamble with smaller amounts, but the difference is that you take it less seriously, unlike others who put in more time and effort because you know that gambling is more likely going to make you lose money at some point.

Those gamblers would still try to win because winning usually makes it fun, but they're more aware of their capabilities.

Well I can say there are only few persons that actually do this and I believe this would be the type of gamblers that are already made because these type of gambler don't actually play for the winning involved but maybe for the pleasure that comes with all the adrenaline pump of actually gambling. There are many types of gambler today that would argue differently to this thought but with all what I research on, I think I can say some gamblers actually do stake for the genuine fun involved gambling.

For real, I believe that the majority of people that bet on sports think that they're somehow beat the system.

Considering how bookies make their money though, why would anyone think it'd be possible to realistically make money from sportbets is beyond me.
Sports bets have a house edge just like every other gambling activity does. And in fact, it's even more common for sports bets to have a very high house edge if calculated correctly.

I think people need to realize that bookies, especially in crypto sports books, make a high % profit on each market on average, this money comes from players. So it's easy to lose money than make it reliably. The odds are against you and no matter how good of a punter you are, the way bookies raise or lower odds always gets you in the end, unless you stop early.

That is the true definition of gambling since they risk money on bets for profits but ideally we don't tell ourselves the simple truth rather we keep saying we gamble for fun, I know too well that when money is removed from gambling then it's no longer interested for people to start paying attention to gamble. Gambling is another fast means to get the required money needed but it takes time for that fortune to come, that is why it's periodically on a chance based game.
There isn't a day people will be so sure about their predicted games rather, whatever game they places is under probability +-.

Duh.

Of course people's gonna gamble for money. The very concept of gambling in the first place (before brick and mortar casinos even existed) was to compete with other people, luck involved and all that, for the money that they will wager against yours. Since time immemorial money has been involved every single time gambling is brought up, so it's not surprising to see people gambling for money/profit right now, as depressing as that may be. Now why, you say, am I so against gambling for profit if I know about how common it is in this industry? To that I say, Common doesn't mean Normal.

Way back then it would've been okay to gamble for profit. After all, most gambling take place on a PVP (Player vs. Player) level only and does not involve anyone mediator that takes money out of their hands and puts them into this fake situation where they have to battle against the house for the money. But since that was the case now, and the addiction paradigms within this industry is at an all-time-high, I reckon people should start thinking about other ways to have fun while not earning money, and that may or may not involve gambling.

I've been able to crack the code (at least I think) when it comes to gambling for entertainment, so for better or for worse I'm not gonna be a part of the gambling addiction statistic, but you could be, and that's why you should think twice about gambling for profit.
