Intentions don't matter so much, what does is the result so even if you have the intentions to make make money it doesn't always happen like that.
I agree with you that intentions don't really matter and that action and results are what count. However, for everything done there's first that intent before it's put to practice or realized. That some intents may not be realized don't mean they're inconsequential. That's why it's said, "if wishes were horses, beggars might ride". We don't always get what we want.
Inorder to enjoy gambling we should replace the utmost desire or intentions from making money to having fun and testing our risk tolerance.
This isn't something that can be done by default and that's why I don't subscribe to the idea that people gamble for fun. Humans don't like losing. So, anything that will make them lose isn't fun to them. We can say, "gamble with the funds you won't miss" that will sound more appealing than the former.
Gambling is not a business that we should go in basically to make money, it doesn't work like that because winning is by luck.
Well, that's how most gamblers see it; as an avenue to create wealth and extricate themselves from their poverty bloodline.
