A Lot of people are of the idea that gambling is something that is used as a leisure or having fun with as they consider gambling to be more of entertainment but personally I disagree with such theories because looking critically at the question on ground anything that you can invest your hard earned money into should not be seen as just leisure but is something that can bring back return on investment so gambling should be seen from the point of view of making money

Every gamblers wishes to make profit while they gamble and one of the reason why people choose to gamble is to make money but at the same when money is just the only focus in gambling sometimes it affects one negatively.

While we think of making money from the bets we play, the game should also be entertaining because this can also be of help in controlling emotions when the outcome of gambling becomes the unexpected. There is nothing bad having interest in the profit in gambling because it is what gambling is all about but one needs to be very careful and also to understand gambling is unpredicted and winning is not certain. The most important is to have understanding of gambling and even if one plays just for the profit their won't be any side effects.

This isn't a bad idea at all but having such a mindset can make you become desperate thereby leading to losses. Gambling is a 50/50 thing, you can either win or lose this means that it's not certain, there's no definite outcome. So having the Intention of winning is setting up yourself for heartbreak. People who game to make money stake high so they can get high rewards, but these category of people are the ones that ends up losing the most. The best way to approach gambling is by playing for fun and entertainment, this is done by gambling moderately or staking low having zero expectations.

Because there is no way you will buy goods as a business man and not expect profit so gambling should be seen as something that will be beneficial to the gambler financially as it's more like an investment

You really don't understand the theory behind that saying "gamble for fun and not for money" if you gamble for money it means you are seeing gambling as a source of income and since gambling is something that is never certain it can't be seen a source of income, the theory behind that saying of gambling for fun is that don't put all your hope in winning a gamble or game you predicted, some people have dead in the cause of putting there hope in bet and the reason for that is because they gamble with the intention of making money but if you gamble for fun which means not gambling with the full hope of your prediction playing as predicted then you won't need to have high blood pressure which may lead to death, gambling for fun those not mean you won't also make money.
There was a man that dead because his prediction did not play as predicted, and he used his life savings to place the bet with full hope that it will play as predicted, he planned on using the money when it play as predicted to buy house, car and other things but it failed him and that is because he gambled to make money and not for fun.

Typically, people gamble to make a profit. However, those who view gambling as entertainment or a form of socializing often have a financial cushion. There are not overly concerned with winning or losing, as their primary goal is to have fun with fellow gamblers.

On the other hand, individuals who are financially strained often see gambling as a means to make a profit. Unfortunately, this mindset can lead to losses, as they're driven by the hope of a big win. Despite the setbacks, they often hold onto the belief that they'll eventually succeed through gambling.

I think you are at least partly right, especially in the fact that there are many people with few resources who put their hopes in gambling as a way out of their painful situation. On the other hand, if you are well off, you can go to the casino from time to time, gamble, and if you win good money, fine, but if you lose what you bet, it doesn't affect you financially. This is not counting the people who have money and gamble too much or develop an addiction, but I think this is generally the case.

In all honesty, gamblers do not just gamble for entertainment alone, but they're up to multiply their money throughout the gambling process. That's the reason why losers do not just easily stop gambling, but instead they chase their losses hoping to recover their losses and make even more money.

However, we all know gambling shouldn't be like that. It is made to entertain us, but it seems gamblers get only entertained if they are also making a good amount. Even myself I would attest to that.

Those who gamble only for fun and who don't care about their gambling losses can still be happy after gambling at the end of the day because even though they deposited money there, their main intention was to have fun, so even if they lose their deposit money, they have no regrets about it. no But if one gambles to multiply his money then he loses his money and is always unhappy. Because every loss makes him depressed so i always support them who gamble for fun. but no matter how important how much money for you and how big is your income always you should follow money management

Just think of 'gamble for fun and not a way of making money' as something like an idiom. It means you should be careful of your money while gambling. It means you should gamble responsibly. It means you should not look for money while gambling as it draws most gamblers into gambling addiction.

No matter how much different gambler try to paint or mask the whole thing gambler's all have the intention of making money. Different gamblers often discuss about gambling for form which is very feasible however in all the intention to win is also backed up meaning there is also the need to make money from it. The thing is some gamblers don't actually take gambling as just a fun activity rather they take it too seriously and that is where addiction sometimes comes into play.

I think the idea of tagging gambling a fun activity is in order not to take it too serious so that we don't develop bad habits that's may lead to addiction or worse.

Basically gambling is a way or means for entertainment, and I see many people who gamble just for their entertainment, and this is one of the self-treatments they say. Even so, I agree with the point of view that gambling is to make money as you mentioned, but there needs to be an awareness that gambling is about luck, and the risk is quite large and depends on the amount of money that will be used for gambling, if the amount is large then the risk obtained is also large, and not only in financial risk, there is also a psychological risk which can make people fall into addiction. So, the point is a wisdom if you gamble for entertainment only, and if you do it to get profit, then there needs to be self-limitation, and responsible for what we do.

Don't Gamble with the intension of having fun but to make money bro you are missing the point here.

I mean for you consider gambling as a making money is okay but there are actually a people that consider gambling as fun or for fun only and they Dint really care about how much money they gonna spend on gambling.

Lets take a look at the big casino country like monaco people are super rich that losing 10K is just child play because they can earned like 10K in a day or somethingike that IMO

I always get it funny from them when I hear them say they are gambling for fun, you are gambling for fun and you keep on losing your hard earn money if you know you are not getting profit or at least see back the money you use in gambling may be in a month you keep losing and call it fun it will be better you stop wasting Money on gambling and be calling it fun, I have seen people that gambling has changed their life I have also seen people that gambling is dealing with those classes of people that seen gambling as fun are those that gambling is dealing with because they are addicted into gambling and call it fun meanwhile they keep on losing weekly.

We shouldn't seen as fun gambling is more than a fun or entertainment if you are always losing while gambling is better you quit and you should also try as much as possible to gamble with the amount of money we can afford to loss.

Maybe it is seen as a business for you and not to many others. It's not everything you spend your hard earned money that should be seen as a business. By your explanation, you going to club partying should be seen as a business to you, because you are going there to spend your hard earned money, and you should expect some profits. Not everyone sees gambling as an investment, besides gambling is not an investment. From experience I win bets more when I see gamble for fun/leisure and not something that should give me profits. Any week I decided to gamble to make money from it, I usually end up losing all my bets. But whenever I just decide to gamble for fun, I usually win, because I won't be too careful trying to analyse games. I usually pick games randomly irrespective of their big odds and most times I do win them. If you are looking for investments to making profits gambling shouldn't be your number one business option. Gambling is only business for the casino owners and not the gamblers.

Do you consider gambling as an activity like an investment with money that you allocate regularly?
How can you think like that? How are you sure you can get the same or greater profit than what you deposit?
I agree gambling is currently not considered a fun activity. More gamblers come to play to make money. But not by considering it as an investment.
Many people suggest gambling with limited money that we can afford when we lose it. Meaning you have an allocation that you have calculated correctly regarding income and expenses.

because most of the wealthy people you see today it was through gambling that made them to become who they're today, what I'm trying to say in essence is that if you're gambling for profit making don't forget to apply self control is very important.

Using the word most of the wealthy people made their wealth through gambling is wrong. Only few persons are lucky to have made lots of money from gambling. Those who get wealthy through gambling are those who won Jackpot or huge amount from buying lottery tickets. There is evidence around my society, you can hardly see anyone who claims they becomes wealthy through gambling.

that exaggeration is laughable i can’t believe someone actually looks at wealthy people and thinks that most of them came from winning in casinos and betting shops yes there are those who got lucky and was able to turn their lives around but wealthy people have many causes for their wealth: business chains, investments, professions, and many more

Quote

Sometimes for one to be very successful in gambling is if they are rich already. Money can bring more money. So i can say gambling can help maintain wealth for so many persons but it cant make many persons wealthy.

yeah because a rich person can keep trying and eventually win and it’s a success story but if someone poor keeps on gambling it will only lead to losses unless they are lucky which again is not all that common

Upon all the threads and discussions on gambling here I. The forum most people don't understand gambling yet. And all some can say is gamble what you can afford to lose, it is it is good to gamble the amount you can afford to lose but the content of the Op is different from what you guys are saying. Like example, you go to hustle for the day and probably bricklayer work and you were paid of the day job. And you come to the online casinos and use them to gamble and you tell me that it is for fun. Whether you are responsible gambler or not that is not a fun but for profit. The person came to the casino to look for more money so he can use to solve some issues. And that is where the risk is involved. As I have said time without number, I will not spend money on gambling and someone will come and tell me that it is for fun. If I want funs, I will go to parks and have funs and play around and not using money on casinos. Once I spend money then I will definitely want to win back the deposit.

If you just want to earn or gain profit, then gambling isn't the best one to do so, the risk is too high.
For me it is for both of it others use it to have fun while making money or spending their free time with their friends.

I also think like that that people who say 'gambling is entertainment and not to make money' is just an expression that a person should never treat gambling like a job or investment where they can get money from it when they spend their money there. gambling is basically just a place where people play and hope that they can win. gamblers cannot fully expect that in the long run they can get money from it like they invest in stocks or crypto. this difference is why a gambler should not treat their gambling like a source of income to make money because they can be disappointed if they think so.

The health benefits from fun is the return on investments in gambling. Return on investment does not always have to be financial and I'll give an example so that people can really understand me. If you take yourself alone or yourself and members of your family to a resort to have fun, do you expect some kind of financial compensation after spending money, or will you be happy about the fun and good time that your family just had. This is the mindset, if gambling is viewed as something for fun, then loosing amount of money to it should not hurt so much. This is why it is essential that when gambling for fun, you stick to a budget.

Gambling is primarily entertainment and as we know almost any entertainment requires money from us. Many gamblers expect to profit from gambling, but if you look at the statistics on the percentage of large wins, you can realize that most of these gamblers and could not justify their inflated expectations. Play gambling is necessary for the sake of emotion, and winning is a very nice bonus, which will not get everyone.

That's because your thinking of it as an investment? Is spending money on something sweet an investment? A book? Spending money on availing internet services to watch some entertainment is also an investment? If that's your mindset then man that's one tiring way of living lol.

You have to learn how to separate the two. It's that separation that makes it possible to control spending money after all. I mean I would 100% spend money on investments but for entertainment? Every now and then as well as a part of what I actually earn. Around 5% ish, maybe up to 10% if I really wanted something. If you really thought of gambling as an investment then I guess it's "justifiable" to spend money on it, so you do you I guess.
