So I keep gambling with the aim of having fun. That will make me enjoy gambling more. Even if I win and get profit I consider it as a bonus for me. Because of my past experience, I consider gambling as a place to make money, but it makes me lose more. That's because when I win I always try again to increase the profit, and when I lose I try to return my deposit. Gambling makes me always curious and want to keep playing when I consider gambling as a place to make money. So I will not do that anymore and gamble with the aim of having fun, this makes me more comfortable in playing gambling.

Dont count your chickens before they hatched.   This OP idea is the wrong way round, if anyone can make money from gambling in any respect sports or slots or poker even then you are the lucky few.

Best advice to give anyone is dont kid yourself with dreams.   Sure its possible but you better prove it first before believing its something to even aim for.  If gambling is not fun I would not even bother, its a game and thats the whole point imho.

Im really not interested in deceiving or letting people deceive themselves.   Have fun play when you like and dont put too much pressure on the win exactly just bet what is affordable to you.   The whole hype of having to win alot is not the dream I really think is best imo.
I think you expressed exactly what was supposed to be discussed by the OP. When it is intended to have fun instead of making money by gambling, one must have the keenness of enjoy the game and there will be no intention to win for the money it might be desired for the enjoyment of the game and pleasure of the game not for the money.

Back then when I was still very actively involved in playing FIFA, my friends and I used to use it as a medium to gamble and we usually fun while doing it. We can bet on yourself or on another player. It used to be very fun, because this type of gambling do not really depend solely on luck but the player’s skills and how well he can play the game. We had several good players, so I’d rather prefer to bet on them rather on myself cos they could player way better than I can, lol.

Well currently things are the same with these XBOX and PS5 games without having the device, everything is through the app and played in the cloud, you only have to pay to be able to enjoy all the games on it, now it is like that, even from a PC, phone you can play, so Everything is accessible, which I have not seen if it can be monetized, I think there are some games that can but only on PS5, which is different, because you pay little and you play as much as you want and for 1 month , the casino is not like that, a caisnos one would like to play a lot but you have to have a lot of money.

Some guys prefer gambling because they are been entertained and same time earning extra bucks if they are Lucky. But not something one should take as means to get rich quick, which is wrong , because you won't be able to secure an healthy living with such mindset.
That is what it is all about and that is why so many casinos compete to be the best, because it is a site that should be used to have fun in another way with the option of winning money, considering that you will always have to accept that you can lose money, that is why it is imperative that anyone who enters a casino knows how much money they can spend and have the discipline not to spend more, those who fall into temptation unleash a great number of problems in their life when there is no control.

People who gamble for fun are likely to allocate money that they can afford and not exceed what they have allocated, such as the act of re-depositing money when the previous gambling has ended in defeat, but for those who gamble to seek profit, what can happen and is most likely to be done is to bet again by re-depositing money on gambling because they want to get a win that can cover the losses that have occurred.
Like the many news stories, some of them commit crimes or experience bad things because they are addicted to gambling, this is also caused by them not being able to accept the money they bet is lost and really want to get a big win in gambling, it's really sad.

Most people who gamble they think they can invest their money through gambling and hope to get profit from the gambling but unfortunately gambling is not a suitable place to invest because it is very risky to lose all your money, there are many places to invest or make money but not to gamble so I disagree with your statement not to gamble for fun because in my opinion that's how gambling works rather than having to lose a lot of money it is better to avoid higher risks.
Gambling and investing are two different things, I think gambling should never be equated with investing. Gambling means risking money everywhere here one wrong decision can be the main cause of losing all your money but not so in case of investing. Investing means buying a share or holding a coin and waiting for the share or coin to increase in value and selling it at that time. Many gamblers initially start playing with the mistaken idea that they will gamble here and make a lot of money from winnings here but their idea is completely wrong. Maybe some wins may give them some money but some times some losses may make them lose all the money. Just as it is not good to over-expect in gambling, it is very important to take gambling seriously even if you are gambling with minimum amount of money. Because when you are serious you plan well and keep trying so that results come in your favor.
Yes, that is different but we can not do anything if those people still saying that gambling and investing is the same. Maybe they think that they can lose their money in the investment especially if they choose the wrong investment. While in gambling, they can lose their money anytime so that makes them say that.

But if they have intention to make money from gambling, they must fix that and remember that they will difficult to make money and could only lose their money. If they know that they can just use gambling for have fun, they will not trying to make money from gambling. They will know the risk behind gambling so they will not take a big risk of their money because they can lose too much money in gambling.

It's a big mistake for anyone who choses to gamble for the money only, gambling is not an investment neither a generous and profitable business to venture into, no matter the lucky win tell the gambler to also check for how far he has deposited and lost. Nothing stops anyone to gamble for both benefits, the best part should be gambling for the fun, the fun part is what reduces our chances of losing money. Chasing profits at the initial stage will only cause repeated uncontrollable loses, after each the gambler will then feel entitled to win by the way not in right frame of mind chasing his loses and measuring for a bigger win when he eventually makes profits.

It is also wrong to also gamble and not make profits, those who understands how to manage risks are the one's who keep making profits.
Very very big mistake if you will be having this approach on which we know that on the moment or time that you do have this kind of mindset on trying out to make money with gambling then sooner or later you will be able to experience these things on which will really be that connected when it comes to finances on which this is really that indeed a huge problem on where you do end up on regretting in the end of the day on why you had made out such decision. We do know that when it comes into this manner where gamblers are really that always becomes a loser or most of them are really that having that chances or wrecking up themselves because of too much desperation on making money with gambling. Dont gambler into the amount on which you cant be able to afford to lose. There's no problem with gambling as long you do make yourself that responsible because the main issue on here is on the time that you do become addicted then it is really that hard to stop up mid way. This is why gambling business is really that profitable just because there's those greedy people who do keep on feeding up these businesses on which they do keep on depositing again and again because they do neither up chase up their lose or will really be that trying out to hit up or hunt that jackpot and made themselves rishc on which this is really that too absurd.

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.

What you say can be an expression that at least represents me personally. the terms you convey in this post, or some of the points you say are part of the important points. we all definitely want to make money in gambling, because it cannot be separated. in fact, in every session we try to minimize defeat. whether it is by involving experience, insight, skills or even with various methods that are often used / applied by actors who like gambling entertainment. making money is the part that triggers us to bet / gamble, although we often express it with the term "gambling just for fun". the last point you said is the impact of serious gamblers in every betting session, because they are focused on making money. in fact, the involvement of luck is never free from gambling.

Often players do not assess the risks or do it before the game and think that they have everything calculated and their balance is not in danger, but then the game begins in which emotions take over and the player no longer needs to calculate the risks, his main task is to win back at any cost. I have often seen such situations, and they did not end well, so risk assessment can go to the trash) The very pressing of the "bet" button already increases the risk to the highest values.

Sometimes I have thoughts that I myself would risk very quickly and the amount to win and quickly leave, but this is self-deception. Even with a positive outcome, these thoughts will not give me peace and I will want to do it again. This is a direct path to losing all the money, sooner or later.

Some remain focused on winning and force themselves to believe that gambling can make them rich. This kind of thinking will not just ruin our finances but our mentality as well.
I think that happens to all of us when we enter a casino for the first time, we only think positively, but we don't consider the most important part which is the home advantage and that we compete against that and the complexity of the game, that's why every new player, no matter how much they want to get into casinos, should take a look at a few bitcointalk threads just to read some experiences of players who have been there and thus avoid some normal mistakes that we make when we go to play for the first time, among that for me the most important thing is money, always limit how much money we should and can spend.

I agree with you. There is no need to think too much about these. Every gambler has his own reason for gambling. There are many gamblers whose only goal is to make money. And I have seen many gamblers who do not do any work, gambling is their only job. On the other hand, I have known many gamblers who gamble only for fun. Despite having a lot of money, they do not spend a lot of money on gambling. I only gamble on sports. I love football and cricket. I watch these matches regularly, and that is why I often bet on football and cricket matches. This is not my only means of earning money. I like doing it, so I do it.
Unfortunately, those who gamble with the aim of making money usually end up in misery because we know what will happen when we have a wrong view like this. I'm sure you understand that it's better not to gamble with the aim of making money because the impact that will occur is not a pleasant thing. I myself am not a hypocrite because I also want to win at gambling, it's just that we have to be aware so as not to be too obsessed with chasing victory.

In any type of gambling, we must be able to have a sense of responsibility and set limits so that everything runs smoothly and no problems occur, besides that, make sure we bet with the money we

It's just that we really enjoyed playing video games, I'm a huge FIFA fan, I used to play all the versions on all the consoles and it was really good. Now, playing on PS5, I've been told that it's another level. However, for me, those types of games are healthy. When it comes to betting in a casino , it is also healthy. It's just that you have to bet on the games , and I understand that on PS5 there are betting options. Although I don't think those bets are as radical as in a casino, you still have to be careful when Betting.
Even if betting in a casino is healthy, we can not place too big money without we can afford to lose because that will make us difficult to accept the loss. If you enjoyed playing video games, you can still do that without placing a bet for the team you play and only enjoy the game. That will be good for you because you don't have to use money to bet and I am sure that will no losing money at all. But if you insist to place your bet for your team, that will not be a problem but you should know how much money you willing to use so you don't risk too much money.

Betting in casino is healthy though but it all boils down to the way one approach it , because they are some folks who gamble and still remains healthy, while they are some who gamble but can't maintain an healthy life style , due to the wrong mindset they have .

Some guys prefer gambling because they are been entertained and same time earning extra bucks if they are Lucky. But not something one should take as means to get rich quick, which is wrong , because you won't be able to secure an healthy living with such mindset.
Yes, however, it all comes back to ourselves, what is it like in gambling about perception or purpose, and every perception we have has its own consequences, for example, if we gamble for fun, then maybe there will be no big losses that will occur and if we gamble for the purpose of seeking profit, then what can happen is a loss of self-control that can make us lose a large amount of money.
Of course it is a mistake if we think that gambling can or is one way to get rich, because with its victory it is not certain that we will be able to get it and there is no definite way that can guarantee us to get the victory, what must be done is to gamble in moderation because if we are lucky we can get the victory.

It would be more fun to gamble like that. Not too stressed thinking about the amount of money we have lost in betting. Although there is annoyance when we feel almost like winning but end up losing.
it is normal to feel excited or feel disappointed it is part of being human and since gambling is supposed to be a hobby as some kind of form of entertainment its purpose is to entertain us and make us feel things that is the point of it at the end of the day

But when we are not affected in other aspects such as finances that remain stable, we will not have a problem with losing bets.
you are right you will only be unusually disappointed or frustrated when you are gambling the money you need to live your life

Yup that could be true, what you mean is as you said that beginners initially come for entertainment but in the end they fall into the wrong approach to this activity in the sense of gambling with the intention and purpose of chasing money and over time without realizing it they are trapped in a cycle of addiction with various pressures and setbacks that come slowly. On the other hand, yes I really believe that changes in perspective and goals are very possible in gambling considering the object of victory is money which of course we all like money and that is what makes gamblers always easily tempted and eventually experience changes, so I am very sure that what makes it difficult for gamblers to control themselves is because they are too focused on the chances of winning so they forget one thing that in gambling the risk of losing is also part of the end of the game.
You are in the perfect point that while we try to gamble to get entertainment but later gambling hijacks our mind setup and as a result, we fall into the addiction of gambling. As a result of it, we become the perfect gambler and we try to win to earn money and finally reach into a gambler who wants to earn money from gambling.

So it's only right to play gambling for the reason that it's just entertainment and nothing else.

Thought, that makes me thing of something. How are we supposed to feel when we manage to win money and withdraw it out the casino if we are just there for the sake of fun and entertainment ?
I mean, someone if is true gambling for fun and ends up losing their money, won't feel so much the negative effects of having lost to the house and can easily move on from the loss, but when luck his on their side, what is the "correct" feeling a responsible gambler to have?
To feel thankful, to feel surprised, too devolve into feeling cocky and gamble more during his next session?

I have myself been able to earn a little bit of money in my lastest session and even though I was not expecting to win anything, I don't know how to approach good luck when one expects nothing from the beginning.
