Topic: Do you gamble or think it's a waste of money and time? - page 19. (Read 19112 times)
I only think of it after a lose but after some time I won't think of it again because i'm thinking of playing again. Everytime i'm about to play or currently playing I don't think about negativity and just think of profit or positivity. It was just a waste of money if you haven't made any profit yet since then.
It's not a waste of time/money if you know your limitations. Once you gamble more than what you can afford that's where it can become a waste of money. To me gambling only becomes a waste of time if it starts to affect your lifestyle in a negative way one example is to be addicted.
I only gamble on Bitmex high levetage in case of big drops. Small amount abd tryong to catch a nice bounce.
I don't think that's what the OP meant when he said gamble. Those people who doesn't preferred to do gambling will not really understand those persons who still do gambling even the risks is obvious. No matter what statement you gave to them, it will be disregard.
Well said. If only these people were regular gamblers they'll understand why many of us still keep on gambling. 
I still gamble but its different now from before. I gamble for entertainment which can be accepted in any manner with the amount that I'm willing to lose.
I know that gambling can lose me a lot of money but that only happens if I lose control.

I do gamble, but only when I'm having fun. I don't gamble to make money on regular basis and I don't gamble to kill time. I also don't gamble with cryptocurrencies when they're down by 80% 
When do I gamble? When I'm with friends and we are drunk. When I know I'll watch a football match with some friends in a few days, I tell them to make bets and do it myself, so it's even more exciting to watch.

Seeing how the odds are pretty often against you in gambling as the gambling services are for making money out of you and not the reverse, do you still decide to gamble? If so, why?
Most of simply gamble to have a good time and relieve stress. As long as your not losing your house the extra money lost won't really harm you. I prefer sportsbetting over normal games of chance because I get a lot more action for my money. Is anything really a waste of time? We are all going to die eventually so if you think about it does anything really matter.
I gamble relatively often with cryptocurrency, and I don’t believe it is a waste of time nor money. I spend money on gambling mainly for entertainment, and gambling should by no means be for profit. If you’re looking to potentially make money on crypto casinos, some sites do offer investment options where you deposit money to put in the bankroll of the casino, and you can choose the leverage of your investment on most sites as well (higher leverage= more risk but also more reward).
There is house edge present in all casinos like you mentioned, but this really doesn’t detract from my experience in the end as my goal isn’t primarily to simply make a consistent profit.

I gamble to place I know there's a chance of winning for example I join this poker club and then gamble there to win some profit in poker you will know if your card has a chance to win or also try betting on a match game like dota2 or csgo if you are athletic try sports game or ufc.

Why? Do you really need an answer for this?
Let's put it this way...
Those people who doesn't preferred to do gambling will not really understand those persons who still do gambling even the risks is obvious. No matter what statement you gave to them, it will be disregard.
On what side are you on? Stick to that thoughts until realization comes.

To testing my luck sometimes gamble is the right place to do so but in my view as long as we have good self control while gamble then gamble will not always be bad and i personally do not consider gambling will wasting my time and my money and just do all of it for fun and not pushing myself and enjoy the game is the most important
Gambling definitely requires time and money, if you have gone to the gambling place you must be ready whether you will lose or get money. It's just about luck, so I don't think too much about it. If you do this for fun there is nothing to regret, whether it's losing time or money.
Waste of money? Perhaps yes. Waste of time? Definitely not. When I engage in gambling, I feel energized and I could experience the adrenaline rush. It gives color to my otherwise boring life. So it is definitely not a waste of time.
I agree.Gambling definitely gives pleasure to everyone who gamble.I personally gamble because i am already used to it but not addicted.It maybe a waste of money for some who comes up gambling and still end up losing.But you can also be an instant millionaire if you happen to win a jackpot.So it's not that bad to gamble at all.It will differ from person to person as for some it may be waste of time as they could utilize the same time somewhere else which will be more productive for them. This is applicable for those who sit for long hours to gamble in anticipation of winning some amount and still ends up losing.

I gamble but I don't do it with large amounts of money and I do it irregularly. It's just to try my luck with money that I can afford to lose. I will stop when I'm lucky and vice versa. It will be a waste of time if we continue to gamble and don't know when to stop.

It looks like you think that people only gamble in order to make money, but, as you can see from the replies above, this is not always the case. Firstly, people who buy lotteries do gamble in order to make money, but they spend so little on it that they often forget about buying the ticket even. So I wouldn't call them stupid because spending little they still buy a chance to win big. Secondly, there are people who simply enjoy playing various games, and they don't care whether they lose or win in the process. I, for one, adore playing poker, and I don't mind losing a buck or two during a good game.

Yes still people will gamble as they were doing for years even they know that chance of winning is low for two reasons that they are doing this as entertainment purpose and most of the other think that risking small money to make some huge rewards.When you think gambling as fun then it is not waste of money you will get what for you came here but when money making is your intention then it is waste of money and time. 
For me gamble is not wasting money and time, obviously because I spend what I can afford to lose and gamble only in my spare time. Like above post, it is for me like a hobby where I need to spend some money to get the entertainment part of gambling.
Of course I believe there be some people say the opposite based on their own perspective. Cant blame them though, as it is their own right to think about gambling.

Every people have their own hobby to spend money.
Let's take the example :
Why people spend money on prostitute while they have chance to get AIDS disease ?
Why people spend money on drug although they will got addicted ?
It's because their hobby or their pleasure although they know the risk.
So gambling waste my time and my money ?
Yes, but it's fun to do it !

The pleasure felt when winning gambling is what every gambler is looking for,answering your question myself would be reluctant to gamble if there is no moment of win at that table.In betting sports or all fair dice in verification so I still gamble cause gambling does't attract my money but vice versa yeah,sometimes funds revolve from one person to another without realizing that someone is losing and some are winning.
Gambling is bad or good depending on how you think about gambling.
