Topic: Don't Gamble with the intension of having fun but to make money - page 15. (Read 2997 times)

There is no guarantee that you will make profit from gambling and when you see gambling as a means of profit like you said, you will run at big loss and if possible get addicted. This is because you will think you are investing and when you keep on losing, you wouldn't want to give up on chasing your losses. It's such people like you that would end up calling gamble a scam because you think it’s for profit making after several disappointment.

Yes, gambling is something that we can use to pleasure in our spare time. But we don't have to try to makes money and only enjoy our time in gambling so we don't lose too much money. But if you have the intention to make money, you needs to realize that will not easy for you especially many people already lose their money.

It is better you use your money to invest in something that can gives you profit in the future such as Bitcoin instead use that money to playing gambling. Playing gambling needs to use enough money that we can afford to lose so we will not more money to gambling especially if we already lost.

Do you really think that gambling is an investment? I'd never considered this as an investment other than you, OP. I'm sorry, but to tell you that you are wrong. In fact, it is advised that we just gamble only using our extra money, not our hard-earned money. I think it was very clear to understand. 

Definitely you will never agree with OP because your views about gambling are different. Remember that we are just a gambler, not the owner of the casino to think that we are running a business. 
 

There is just a little misunderstanding there though. Whether we stake money or not gambling for fun can done when the intentions is not to make profits. One thing can lead to another anyway. A person can plan on gambling for fun and end up going for profits later on after winning few bets in the process of gambling for fun. As for me, gambling for fun or entertainment are mostly done by those who are financially stable. A poor cannot be stupid enough to say he is gambling for fun. Gambling for fun is for the rich while gambling for profits is both for the rich and the poor. It has not exemption.

Your topic is deceptive; no gambling platform or casino will promote themselves as an investment platform, they invite people to play on their platform and be entertained if you've been winning and you treat gambling as a form of investment; don't impose it on others as we are not all equal when it comes to gambling and however people looked at it, it will never become an investment platform, the criterion will not meet it.

Both goals will eventually mix and you can't separate them when you're in a live game. Will always make the fun of gambling a target for seeking profit. Depending on the intention that will later make you aware after experiencing defeat, whether it's frustrating enough or normal and come back the next day with a new bet. Lower expectations and always enjoy every win by withdrawing 50% while the rest you are free to bet until you lose.

Don't take it literally. Gambling for fun is for casino and slot games because there's no way one person could come up with a strategy for those types of games. Everything there is controlled by the online casino itself and it's an algorithm-based type of game. But when it comes to games such as sports betting, poker, and other games where the brain is needed, then that's when we should not take it for fun. Sure, we are adding more intensity by betting on our favorite team while watching the game but we should also think about the risk we are taking since it's our money that is on the line. If we think our favorite team doesn't have a chance to win, why bet for them? It's better to just take a pass and enjoy the game.

Nope, I said the same as OP but using another wording. Money and bankroll are two peas in a pod. Bankroll can not exist without money.


Nope, your understanding of my tactic is not correct. The price of your betting must be dependable on the slope  of your bankroll ^{the latter considered at the  time scale} rather than on the size of bankroll. ^{This not for fun but for money at the end}.

Everyone knows what is best for them and of course everyone one has different intention while they gamble or bet, some people gamble for fun and entertainment while some people gamble for the money which to me is very necessary. You seems to confuse me when you said anything someone invest their hard earned money into should not been seen as just leisure, that statement has got me confused and if I remember correctly leisure is more like a free time  and you are also misunderstanding something which is the return a gambler get or got from gambling is the fun or the money that is the two things that is involve depending on what reason they are... Lastly your reference also seems not be totally correct because people buy goods or products for different reasons which could either be for consumption or for profit making.

Correct, the very definition of gambling at least for me is putting a bet on the unknown, like in sports betting. And with that, there are a big chances that you will not win so it's hard to consider gambling as source of money. And even those pro in the poker tournament, it's not a guarantee that they will win and bring home some money.

So don't think that it will like a job or something because it will really be tough for you if you consider gambling that way.

And we can enjoy even if we lose some money. We have seen threads discussing about it so maybe it could still be a source of fun and enjoyment for some.

Exactly when you stake some money doesn't mean that you are not gambling for fun, I wonder why some people think that it is only when there is no money involved that you are gambling for entertainment, but still entertaining someone is very expensive and at that, everyone pays to get entertained at some point, concert, clubs house or other entertainment centers all get paid, so gambling also should be viewed as so too because you need to pay for the games you engage in and play for the fun, your skills in the game is what then give you the prize you see as winnings.

I think what he just trying to express on his example despite wrong is just both investment and gambling involves risk. If you buy goods for investment purposes then you have a risk to lose your money in case that your goods didn’t sold at profit price which same on gambling if you bet at 50-50 chance game.

The only twisted on this thread is the OP trying to imply that people should gamble like it was an investment which means you will be committed to earn profit or chase your losses in the long run.

Sorry but your opinion seems to be different from what the op (the post you quoted) is saying, your comment seems to be centered around bankroll management, while the op is talking about not treating gambling as a funfair, or means of having fun as believed it should be treated by alot of other gamblers.

Well, this two are different just incase I understand you correctly, and as a matter of facts, decreasing or increasing one's bet amount based on how big or small one's bankroll is does not directly opens any door to being a successful gambler, this tactics or method only helps a gambler better manage their bankroll.
Achieveing fianancial success from gambling is hard, very rare and only the lucky ones can boost of this.

Gambling cannot be categorized as buying and selling, they are very different from each other, you buy goods and sell for profit but when you gamble you are risking your money, you don't know if you can win or lose. Why most people that gambles responsibly sees it as fun is because they don't want to take it very serious, considering that loses occures more than wins. If you see gambling as a place to make money it can lead to addiction because you will be continually chasing loses to recover and make profits, it might not happen as you planned. Seeing gambling as fun makes you not to have high expectations about winning and it is the best mindset to engage in gambling activities.

It seems you read the wrong definition of gambling somewhere on the web. I’m not sure why someone will consider gambling as source of money while casino house edge on all of their games meaning you have higher chance of losing against casino in the long run so how can you make money.

Yes, if you get lucky you can earn money but there’s no assurance that you will keep winning especially that your goal is to make money.

You will read lots of this same testimony as yours from gambling addiction interviews because that’s how they started to become an addict.

Definitely, your own money must  be your  major concern at any gambling. If you don't pay attention on your pockets you ^{highly likely} lose at the end. It is very important to follow the trajectory of your bankroll during the course of gambling setting the price for the next attempt according to the slope of the curve. At positive slope the price may be increased    while at the negative slope it must be decreased. Such tactics opens the door to success in gambling.

Gambling is definitely played for fun, because if you enter gambling to earn money, then you will definitely face addiction. Because here the greed of money is shown the most, so those who fall for the greed of money will definitely face losses at that time. However, you can say that in gambling, money should be gambled very responsibly, whenever you enter gambling, if you immediately profit the first time, then you will definitely enter gambling a second time and indulge in betting.
 In this way, if the beginning is good for you, then in the end you will definitely lose your money. There will come a time when you will become busy to recover your lost money and will indulge in more betting and you will keep losing your money, as a result you will face addiction in this way. Therefore, gambling should be taken as a matter of fun, not a matter of income.



I have seen many people who have entered gambling for financial income, but they have been deprived of their families at the last moment, because at the last moment they have faced huge debts and have suffered huge financial losses. In reality, it is normal to make profits in business and although there are losses, they are small. But in gambling, you can never stop yourself, so your mind will rush to enter gambling again and again.
 Therefore, if you enter gambling, you must be careful and stay away from the signs of addiction, but according to your information, the person who enters gambling will definitely face addiction.

You as a gambler is not investing on gambling to assume you are a business man or an investor on gambling.
Okay, think this... If you think you can not derive fun from gambling just because your wagers are of your hard earns, what would you say about the aspect of the expenses on beers and the other leisure expenditures? Do you make profits out of them or still just as fun?

Well I will assume to get your point a bit which is where I would always say that I don really find fund on the online casinos but of the physical casinos where I can physically connect with people and have lot of gambling discussions of good and bad times experiences. Especially in sport bets while online could be bored. Though at times we might need some cool private times which we would not want to be distracted by anyone, so the rhythm os silent ness is also a good one to have such good gambling times.

In summary: You find fun gambling when you are gambling responsibly that you won't go mad of your long term losses.

Mate no one should be thinking that gambling is a proper investment opportunity. Unless you will be investing in a casino or building one for your own, it is not really an investment. The risks are too high and the chances of winning are too unstable for it to be considered as anything as something I just like to do for fun. If you gamble and expect that you will get 100% return then that might be a bit tad optimistic. If you get lucky, it will not be recreated again and again. Which is why it is a lot safer to just say that we should gamble for fun and remove the pressure from ourselves.

I prefer gambling for entertainment because it's safer gambling not to make money. Some new gamblers think it's easy to make wealth through gamble and they begin gambling but after a while they realize it's not easy to win and make wealth through gamble.
Gamble is not ant form of business or investment tats why we shouldn't expect any return (profit) from it. A gambler should be careful while gambling, wen though you are not gambling to make profits you should be careful so you do not lose more than what you should risk.
