Peace. That's nice.
I can say that is true. It can sometimes help a person relax because his eyes are all on the game only. This is the time where he should focus and should not be disturbed which I think is where peace comes from.
It's stressful when you play long but if it's only on rare occasions it will definitely be fun. Also, if it's sports betting, there's always that added entertainment factor when you bet and watch the game. I do this all the time and I can say I definitely cheer more for the team I bet for than just plainly watching the game without any money on the line. The energy is way different, it's upgraded, and you get to be excited when the game starts because it gives us that hope that we may win our bet anytime especially if our preferred team is playing well.

I think that's the essence of gambling I guess. That time when you bet all that you have including the house that you sold for a bet and the result could either you make it or you blow it goin being broke. That's the thrill that would make your heart pound 3x faster. And when you are at peace, it's either you are following your plan so the outcome doesn't really matter to you, or you are playing with the insignificant money that you are truly willing to lose.

For me I get the same thrills when I want to have a win and share and flex it to my friends. So even with that small wins, it excites me because I'm about to share my experience with my friends.

Well, I think the thing is, just as our faces are different, so does what excites, or we find exciting differs as well, and for fact that a person so overly excited with gambling does not mean that such one is prone to getting addicted to gambling even though the chances are there, what leads to gambling addiction is lack of self control.
So, this means that, even if a person finds gambling overly exciting, he or she will still play gambling and not get addicted if he or she knows how to control him or herself.

For me now, I find gambling very exciting, just same way I find alot of good things exciting as well, and my area of preference when it comes to gambling for the purpose of excitment is slot or casino games, slot games most especially, while in times I am gambling and looking out for some serious winnings, I look the way of sports betting.

Overall, gambling should be exciting for who ever gambles, whether you are doing it for fun or for money, there should be some level of excitements derived from gambling, otherwise, I will advice any one not finding ganbling exciting to just stop.

Good point you have mentioned because I have seen several people around me that who are very addicted person to gambling and always they get in to a large debt and interesting think is most of them I'll get over excited when they play gambling. I have seen many time they increasing their losing amount on slots games because of there over excitement at that time they can't control theirself and cross there limit on that time.

I can't fully agree with you cause we get entertainment from gambling because of only it makes a feeling that excited us even if we don't get any exciting then I think there will be no fun. And I also think that who getting exited they don't fall in addiction with gambling those publics are getting addicted with it who don't have control in their emotions and their self.
Everytime when I give time on gambling it is feel me exciting especially for the casino slots games as well as the competitive situation on sports game.

Gambling doesn't always excite me but sometimes when I'm depressed or have a lot of free time I feel that gambling can give me a peace. but even more excited than me are those who use gambling seriously for income. But gambling should not be a series.  People who get too excited about gambling become addicted to gambling and cannot stop gambling. So gambling should be taken as entertainment only for fun. otherwise gambling alone is enough to ruin a person's life

Yeah, I guess it depends on what you're after.

For example, you can organize a very cheap visit to Las Vegas, with unlimited drinks, great food, great shows, etc, much cheaper than at most other cities. That's because it's all a bit cheaper to encourage people staying there to gamble, which is where they get the real money.

It's similar to what's called a "loss leader" in bars and restaurants, etc.

But yeah, if you just want to be entertained gambling it can be a good opportunity as well.

That's what I'm doing with small winnings like $15-$20, not fearing that I can lose them if I use them for further betting. Basically we buy good time for those money and isn't that bad. 


Opportunity for what exactly? For earning money? Who said gambling is a great opportunity for the gambler to earn money? Show me that lunatic. We all know(at least here on this forum) that gambling isn't suitable for that. But if we talk about having a good time, to be entertained, in other words, I disagree with you,  casinos are a great opportunity for the gambler in that sense. I mean, "for the gambler" is a keyword here. If you are not a gambler, then casinos probably can't offer you much.

Gambling could really give out that kind of excitement because it would really be something that give out that kind of thrill since you are really that risking money for you to earn money. Aside from having that kind of interest on a certain sport or whatever gambling activity whether casino games or others as long you are betting or making some wager into it then it would really be that normal for a human being to have that kind of impulsive feeling or thrill because you do know whether you could lose that amount or doubling it.

Each person does have that different set of interest in life in regarding about on the things that makes them entertained or makes them that having that fun.
On the time that you do find that gambling is already that affecting you specially on spending up too much then this is an another story.

It doesn't matter if your bets are small or large really.... the odds are the same for everyone.

Let's say you play a heads or tails game, 50/50, and the house pays 80c per dollar bet on that, it means that on average you will be losing money.

The thing is that the casinos created amazing things that look incredible but are in reality just like what I just explained. They are not a great opportunity for the gambler.

The cash we have got here is not like the one you gave in the example above.
We also have to understand how much the minimum withdrawal is with withdrawal fees from the casino of our choice. If it only matches that, of course we will lose money and we won't be able to enjoy the results of gambling. it's better to leave it as a game balance for the next period.

For slot games myself, I often manage the balance I have and bet up to how many rounds. or if you make a small bet, I will increase the duration.

Well, as small amounts bettor I can't accept that advice. You see, if I played a slot game betting $0.10 at once and won 150x of my bet, that would be a great win regarding the multiplier, but it would be just $15 in US Dollars, and withdrawing that amount and losing like $5 on a withdrawal fee would be insane, Do you know what I mean? Yes, I know that I can "bet more and longer"(which in my case would be  just betting in other days) and lose it, but I accept that.

Gambling will feel fun if we don't feel regret even though we have experienced a loss, indeed, no one likes losing, but the majority of gambling is losing and we have to accept defeat if we have prepared money that is ready to lose it, anyone definitely wants to make a profit but gets a profit From gambling it's not as easy as we think, so losing and winning in gambling is a common occurrence. It's okay to accept defeat, it doesn't mean we're arrogant, but when you gamble you have to use cold money.

When a gambler can enjoy his gambling activity and can control himself while gambling, that will be a relax moment that he can gets from gambling. But most people can't do that because when they feels enjoy the gambling games, they started forgets about controlling themselves and makes them getting deeper in gambling and use more money. That's makes them lose their money and also lose control and the gambling games will not be a place to relax themselves. They will trying to chase the jackpot which they realizes that's not easy but they still trying because they thinks they can gets the jackpot. They will not focus on the games but they are focus about how to hits the jackpot.

They will lose controls to gambling moderately because their passion has change into chase the wins and not how to enjoy their spare time by playing gambling. They will not use money they can afford but they will deposits more money to chase the wins because they thinks that with more money, they can have a chance to wins much money. If they realizes that's not easy, they will not do that instead just use the money they can afford but they are blind by their passion and not trying to open their minds that what's they did are wrong.

When they consider gambling must gives them profit, they will see that things is hard to happens. They will regret when they can't make money as they wish because gambling is not a place to make money instead just a place to have fun. If they don't chase the wins and only wants to spends their free time by playing gambling, they will not lose much money because they knows that is not worth if they playing gambling using much money.

Gamblers must understands that playing gambling can makes them lose much money so they must prevents the big lose that can comes to them. If they knows how to treats gambling as a fun things, they will prevents use much money and also lose that money. They really needs to controls themselves while playing gambling and must strictly in using their money to playing gambling.

Anything should really be having that limitation or restriction on which it would really be just that a common thing that we should consider on the time that we do gamble. Only gamble on the amount
on which you can afford to lose and never ever make yourself consider on adding up even more money in case you do lose in the end of the day. You should really know on when to quit or having that completely stop rather than on continuing on making out some deposits on which this is something that you should really be that minding in the first place.

Gambling is something that could give out that kind of thrill and excitement but on the time that you do put up yourself on such condition on where you do make yourself that impulsive
then you are just basically making yourself putting up on trouble. This is why you should really be that careful when it comes to this matter.

Yeah, that's why it's only recommended to do when we are having extra money that we will use in doing gambling because when we use the money that is not intended for that activity, for sure we will be having uncomfortable feeling, we might feel nervous because the only thing that runs in our mind is about winning because we can't afford to lose that money. So, better to check ourselves first if we are responsible enough to follow our own gambling rules so we will not ended up being broke after the session.

When gambling with money you can't afford to lose one would be tensed and won't be able to enjoy the game due to being tensed, well gambling is pretty much entertaining we all are aware of that putting the losses aside. But when come to using money you can afford to lose one would really enjoy the gamw looking excited and all that . Because either way ( losing or winning) the game will still endup being excited because I actually have nothing to lose , and by any chances I endup winning the game then it would be a win win


Yeah you are right one should have such mindset before going in to gambling, because going with the mindset of winning all the time such individual may endup with the habit of gambling irresponsibly and endup losing it all. But setting your mind for any possibility either losing or winning, such individual will be able to manage his self when it comes to gambling.

If am excited by gambling, well, that depends on if am winning. When my prediction does play out, it’s not just about the win but, it comes with some pride and confidence in my predictions as well. When I loss, I just learn to accept it to be what could have been all along.

That’s how you get yourself into a more winning mindset when you gamble. You first, having to learn to accept the possibility of a loss and you just might not be scared to go in some daring predictions and wouldn’t border much about looking up prediction sites. I think those who do this are those that can’t really accept loosing but in gambling, loosing is more likely than wins.

Actually I understand what you want to say. but your choice of words can make other people misunderstand it. therefore yesterday I took a different point of view. not my point of view, who is also a gambler who has experienced consecutive losses and been devastated by it.

Risk and financial management are also key to the game. As you said, playing with small amounts is very wise and can be used to get pleasure from gambling without sacrificing all the money you have. but I will add a little, always cash out what you have got, whatever it is, so that it doesn't become a thought that can make you bet more and longer at the casino.

Its never been fun when you are on such condition or situation specially when losing money and just like the rest been saying that even if you do make yourself convinced that you do play for the sake of fun
but still there would really be those reactions on which you cant really be able to avoid to let it show or would really be done specially on the losing moment since we are just humans and its normal.
Gambling should really be entertaining and not something that would really be stressful. The wrong thing by most people is that they do really expect something from gambling on which they are really that
trying out or forcing themselves to be as winners and this what makes them desperate and on the time that they do lose then they would really be having that kind of reaciton.
