I'd love to see one of those posters explain to me, rationally, how exactly they perceive it to be fun? Please try to explain yourself rationally (with broken English if necessary).

It's rare to see a user who behaves like that here in the forum.

Try to find a gambling forum section wherein users are not involved in a paid posts feature or not crypto-related forum so that the discussion will also include how fiat gamblers behave especially those who go in a physical casino to gamble. We can have a much more accurate answer if we asked them that question compare here.

Gambling for fun does have a different meaning. But sometimes, it's just a product of others' own view to reply here without the actual purpose they really do gambling for fun.

Correct me if i'm wrong but this is not about feeling after lost $100 or $1000 because if you starting gambling with those amount then your gambling purpose is clear how to earn money from gambling but different side to those who gambling for fun because usually if people want to starting gambling for fun then they will used low money or free money because if they lost it then they can ignore their losses

A gambler who uses "free money" to gamble has to do it in moderation too. It could be considered a waste of time to spend most of your time getting lots bonuses or free coins and ending up gambling with most of them in a short time with little/no profit.

If we are talking about bonuses on deposits, then for me that is no different, that is a waste of time for me. In the past I enjoy gambling but I did not gamble online, I'm usually addicted to cockfighting and usual Filipino card games. I'm sober from gambling for maybe a week now and reading this makes me want to bet some to pass time.

Anybody who doesn't have fun while gambling shouldn't be gambling at all. If they're gambling consistently in order to get out of crippling debt or something, then they clearly have an issue.

Why would you do anything that you're not enjoying? Whether they be enjoying the thrill, the suspense or the highs?

But whenever I win a lot, I am enjoying the game and the excitement is always real that's why it could be fun so it's a both for me.

^ I dunno why we are happy to see if we win even in just a little amount in gambling. Even though we all know that the amount we had won did not cover our entire losses. Because in that way we feel happy and while we are placing a bet or something rolling the dice, the excitement was always there. How much more if we will win in gambling. Nevertheless, people that have a greedy mindset and they think gambling is good for source of income will probably not thinking to be a fun activity in gambling.

It is a big deal for them if they lose. They live in this kind of game and considering the fact that they would like to win and bring some money for their family, they even tried to cheat others just to win. How bad is that? And gambling could be a reason that brings someone into an evil act for the sake that he/she could get what he/she wants for.

Do you feel fun when you lose $100?
What about losing $1000 or $10000 when you gamble? Does it make you feel it was all fun?

I see many posters here in this Gambling Discussion forum claiming (usually with broken English) that gambling is fun, that there is no pain nor suffering when you lose money... because it's all fun, it's great, the best thing in the world ....

So I'd like to ask you honestly - how is it "fun" when you lose money? What makes it fun - the prediction of what's gonna happen next? The winnings make it fun? But no one can win 100% of the times, right? (except for the house)

I'd love to see one of those posters explain to me, rationally, how exactly they perceive it to be fun? Please try to explain yourself rationally (with broken English if necessary).

Playing casino games or any kind of bets which has unpredictability on the results which makes us more excited than anything in this world will make the gambling as fun thing but when we are losing more money what we can afford then it is not definitely a fun.

So if you will be felt broken when you lose $1000 dollars while gambling then you should spend less money which will not make you think about that loss in future, the amount will be depends on how much the person who is going to gamble was earning.

Gambling is fun only if I win something, and if I don't and end up losing a few hundred dollars, I don't think it's even worth it or I'm considering about not gambling again. I still end up playing and gambling still, even though I know that there's a huge possibility of me losing it all once again.

Losing money is in no way fun to anyone. But winning something no matter how small it is will surely bring smiles to any person's face, that's for sure.

A lot of emotions, a lot of up and a lot of down but it's all fun...

As long as you play with money that you can afford to lose. Same rules apply with any investment, of course including Bitcoin and alt coins

Guess what make all of these much more fun?

you won at 2x and get additional profits as you are betting with altcoins that the value where your betslip settled increased drastically upto 100percents so basically you just hit a jackpot of 3times instead won it at 2 times haha
but you must admit that it was fun until you get hit but the unexpected big losses or a streak losses.
that will messed all of your fun moments in a second, in a blink of an eye.

start with some fun and always ends it with misery , that is the eternal law of gambling, you can not go against them unless you are lucky enough to be part of the rare 0.1% who make it fun all the time.

I never tried to invest in any alt coins except for some solid ones, but they deceived me (yeah I am talking about ETH here Grin

), I got burned.
Still receive plenty of emails from Wirex, Binance, selling their coins but never dare to make the move. Will keep trading on Bitcoin price which was the most solid earnings lately. Good luck anyway in you are into alt coins Tongue

Yeah this is Altcoin season and we should keep holding than selling as so many exchanges and project holders. Now a day it’s best time for Altcoin holders and it’s time to purchase as well because it’s low in price and it’s gonna be good support for online gamblers too. So altcoins are good to have for gamblers as well as for investors.

Initially I played gambling just for fun, entertainment but until now I am addicted and I do not know how to stop this activity.

I don't know how much I've spent, but it's clear that losing money in gambling isn't fun, that's bullshit.

Just like anything, gambling is also subjective. It could be just only fun for others, it could be only as an additional income for others or both. But, for me it's both. If I lose a lot I could be emotional and will be sad for that. But whenever I win a lot, I am enjoying the game and the excitement is always real that's why it could be fun so it's a both for me.

Losing is just one of the results after we had fun in gambling so I consider it a fun activity because it provides entertainment. We can't call it as a source of income because there's no guarantee of a good profit here. There's a big risk that we will be taking so we have to set limits and learn how to control our emotions.

It will be fun when there's a lucky winnings, but behind that I don't think you'll be happy upon losing such amount. Risk is a part of any investments whether it's gambling or business. Everything we have in life is risk, better learn many ways to handle optimally. Spending your money wisely can gain surprising results as fun makes it more rewarding.

If we are lost, then it will not fun because many gamblers still thinking about how they're going to recover their money. That can risk the other money that they have, especially if they want to chase their money back. As long as we know the risk and we can accept the risk, we don't have to worry, but we still need to have control for ourselves so we can avoid the loss.

Easy to say but would really be hard to follow specially when you are already in the middle of the game.When you loss then you cant really avoid not to think
on how to recover or break even your losses and this is the time you would really have those thoughts on chasing loss and the fun you do seek is already diminishing
gradually.Common thing to happen and next decision will depend if you would just let that mindset continue or you would completely stop it mid way and doesnt mind up things too much.

If you are wise and you are valuing your time and effort, those free bonuses can turned to real cash if you will play patiently and use a good system to
take some edge with your gambling activities. Having some fun is good though mostly if your balance came from those free bonuses or faucets but it's adding lots of entertainment and enjoyment when you get something out and not just to leave without nothing at all.

In my own point of view, i consider gambling as a fun activity because it sometimes helps me to relieve my stress after i got home from work, but i don't think it is still fun when you lose a $100 or more because experiencing huge losses will only give you depression and head ache that will only make a player lose his control that he will only push himself to recover all of his losses.

No, I have to disagree, it is not about the amount to determine if a certain individual is playing gambling for fun or not, a normal person who's earning money about an average salary could gamble $100-$1000 for fun, and the other way around, and no matter how small it is, a loss is still a loss for everyone, unless of course you are playing just for fun, or if you are freaking rich that losing money for you in not a problem at all.

Definitely because gambling is suppose to be fun.

As I learn to fully control myself, it's the only time that I started to fully enjoy gambling regardless of the outcome of my bet.
Losing a big amount is not anymore a problem to be since I know how to bet based on my limit.

Some can loss thousands of dollars or even millions of dollars but my range or limit is too low, probably losing $100 is already a decent amount of me, though I can afford that but as much as possible I want to be lower than that.

Agreed, whether particular person prefers gambling as a fun activity or for the purpose of profiting can be understood by the way of spending. From my learning when we think of profiting we risk to earn big and chase the loss with big amounts if loss is the result. when considered as fun activity they just leave it even after they loss. In most of the cases people start as fun and ends with the mind to earn which gets over with wallets having no balance.

It will be fun when there's a lucky winnings, but behind that I don't think you'll be happy upon losing such amount. Risk is a part of any investments whether it's gambling or business.
