"You Can't become rich with betting!"

This is my first betting rule. Personally, time ago, I experienced some "stress" due betting even with trivial amount. No fun? Well ok no betting! There is no choice, it's should be a must betting and have fun or yes you're doing wrong.

Please note that people can earn with betting but...it's a job. Literally is a job with all good and bad things related. And of course it requires a lot of time (and why not also expense) be able to be in profit.

I think it is not about playing for fun or playing for profit, it is about gambling responsibly.  If a person knows how to gamble responsibly, he is able to avoid the things you stated.  People who know how to be responsible will never spend the money that is allocated for their kid's college funds and life savings on gambling.  A gambler can be playing for fun and still spend the money allocated for their kid's education if they are not responsible enough to moderate their gambling activity.

People often think that they play for fun and spend many hours playing, as it has been said that people should play with money they can afford to lose, so people take money they can afford to lose. they lose and spend many hours playing, but when they do this, these people also run out of time to spend with family and friends and completely forget that there is life in the real world, these people start to fall behind in their jobs because they spend hours without sleeping because they are playing . and since the person is playing with money that he can afford to lose, he thinks that there is no problem, he thinks that by doing so he is playing a responsible game

but the truth is that it is not because a person has a lot of money that they can gamble without it harming them in real life that then a person can spend the whole day gambling that everything is fine, in the last few weeks I have read stories of people who had money and they started to play. The game did not harm them financially, but the problem was that they spent many hours playing that they did not pay attention to their wives, children and other family members. After many months of this behavior, the women decided to separate from them and they continued to spend the whole day playing

until they lost their jobs because they were always late and slept at their jobs, after losing their jobs and continuing to play, there came a time when all the money they had ran out and they started to go hungry and stopped playing, the saddest part of these stories that li, and that when they looked for their wives, they were already dating other men and had gone to court to gain the right to keep the children. in other words, they lost their jobs, wives and children.

A frugal gambler gains less as well. It's like limiting yourself to win big, it defeats the purpose when you are trying to implement winning strategies.

Although you want to be entertained, gamblers also want to make money out of winning streaks. It is the kind of advice that you wouldn't really want to do if you were to seize the day when you have the lucky day. The bigger the risk, the bigger the reward. This also applies to investing.

the usual dilemma is that most gamblers of course are chasing about the winning part of their games. unfortunately, this don't happen to most. gamblers are always reminded of this simple fact, however, we can't deny that everyone is aiming to go home with full of cash. we need to accept the reality that in this world of gambling, only few are lucky to hit it big in this game. you have to be responsible enough not to fall from the trap and still enjoy the fun this industry can give it to you.

a wise gambler definitely knows when to start playing, keep playing and stop playing, apart from that he definitely has the right idea about how much capital he will spend and will definitely not go over or under that.  In contrast to gambling addicts, they do not have clear figures about how much capital they have to spend when gambling, often they will make loans when they run out of capital ^{(usually this happens to players in traditional casinos)}, gambling will always be entertainment, don't think of it as the best place for you to make a living.

Generally speaking your comment is correct that gambling is not a place to seek wealth but there are some people that become successful on being wealthy on gambling. It’s just only few success compared to failed that’s why gambling generally discourages everyone to commit full time on profit and just focus on the fun part.

Gambling is entertaining because of its promised wealth once you become lucky on your game. The only problem is it’s very hard to have luck on games that design for casino to have an advantage over players.

The gambling should be played for the fun,if the gambler take the gambling as the money making business.The base of the gambling will be the wrong one for such gambler.Some people think the gambling as the financial investment and try to earn regular money from it.The gambling was created for the entertainment purpose,because of some gambling site mistakes,the many of the gambling sites getting bad name.Some people start the gambling site to scam the people,Such sites can be avoided by the background verification by the gambler.

Have you ever played an online game on PC? Whatever, CSGO, Quake, Starcraft... You start playing for fun and you usually have fun doing it, but there comes a day where you just keep losing. Everybody kills you, you lose ladder points left and right, people get all kinds of luck like run away with 1hp and you're just mad. You can't cope with it. Instead of stopping you keep on playing so that you can end the day with a win, but it doesn't come. If it eventually comes, you're to tired to enjoy it.

That's your "playing for fun" in a nutshell, because it's the same thing in gambling and even in competitive sports.

There are many tragic stories that occur as a result of considering gambling as a medium that can free themselves from financial problems, most of them forget that being too involved in gambling can make them buried in a huge mountain. When you misunderstand the true meaning of gambling, that's when you will often have problems in life. Everyone really likes this activity for various reasons depending on each individual, but you need to remember, gambling is only a place to have fun, not a place to seek wealth.

These are some of the important lessons every gambler should learn.  Some people see gambling as an alternative source of income making them invest their money in gambling. Anyone who used his savings or child education fund to gamble is an addict who needs help. Gambling should not have any negative effect on your finances because it is just for fun. Sometimes having a budget is not enough but the main issue is to follow or implement the plan. I have also observed that people usually spend more than their budget when they chase losses. When people take gambling as a source of income they put in more money, time, and other resources.

One would call such a person stupid yeah, and irresponsible, but addiction has nothing to do with being stupid. In fact addicts have often high IQ. Some people just have better control over their impulses, while others are just stuck with their dopamine reward system. That can make people act irresponsibly. Combine that with untreated ADHD for example and you have potential future criminal in your hands.

And i am not taking away anyone's responsiblity of acting this way as adults they are responsible no matter the cause or what i think. But if we don't treat the cause, and just blame someone for being stupid, we shall have way more stupid acts like this in the future.

It's the first time I've seen the term frugal gambler  
As I've never had addiction problems, I confess I don't know exactly what goes on in the head of a gambling addict

But here in my case, I set aside a certain amount, make my bankroll, work with that in a championship and stick with it until the end. It's been working very well and I have fun betting and watching the matches. I've even had a lot of success and profits by taking my time and studying the games I bet on

I always see one topic or another talking about addiction around here. Do we really have that many here on the forum?

As long as there are successful gamblers who are earning a living out from gambling, the original design for gambling which is to give fun and entertainment will always be underrated. So it’s not actually wrong whether the people will see gambling as a source of living, because a lot can actually prove that it can be a profitable source for wise and professional gamblers. However, since gambling is still luck and chance based, not all gamblers are given the chance to be in profits, that’s why some just resort into enjoying their favorite games even if they are losing from it.

I think there has been several threads about this topic.

But I believe that gambling as a means for entertainment is a common knowledge for gamblers, and that everyone who engage with it should know that the main reason of gambling is as a source of fun. It is sad to know that there are cases where people came to the point where they spend funds that was set to be use for more important things but end up wasting it in gambling. You should set a fund only for your gambling purposes and remember that your funds for essential things like your kids' college funds shouldn't compromised and affected.

As what we are always saying for a countless time, gamble responsibly and make sure that your gambling activities doesn't negatively affect yourself, your family, and the people around you.

Believe it or not, people's desire to gamble varies, the money used in gambling also has various origins, but as you said, those who are frugal and think are the ones who don't get frustrated/stressed easily when their money runs out in gambling.

I am aware of the money used in gambling, most of the money I bet in gambling is just bonus money, I mean the money I get unexpectedly, that's the money I bet without using personal cash.

We often hear about having fun with everyone who gambles, but this can happen to those who are not addicted, for those who are addicted to gambling, it is no longer for fun, solely to achieve victory as best they can, as well as the money at stake, it's not surprising that we see many gambling cases that end tragically and so on.

What we need to remember is that gambling can make people happy and gambling can make people miserable, depending on how we use money and bet.

The emergence of gambling has actually come out of playing for fun in a way. Although slots and casino games were once the kind of games that had an attractive feature, betting has become just as tempting. People sometimes get too caught up in gambling and that is not a good thing. I would say that most gamblers play gambling literally to make money. We can say that there is such a ratio. If those who gamble to make money are 85 percent, the percentage of those who gamble for fun and pleasure will not exceed 10 percent. We can say that the remaining 5 percent play to relieve stress.
It will be good for you to allocate a budget when gambling. You can do this every month with the most you can afford to lose.

Beginners will always get lots of advice and messages from experts on this forum about gambling with a certain budget, because a budget limit can be an alarm for us to stop gambling, if we gamble without a budget limit we will definitely play beyond the limit until we become addicted. and become an addict who spends so much money that the gambler can become very poor.

Gamblers actually have to know the limits of their playing limits, because with these limits it will definitely help us prevent becoming addicts, don't go too far in gambling, gamble as if you are having fun with the game, always use money that you are ready to lose, at least don't chase losses when experience defeat, because the risk of gambling is losing, so we must understand the defeat we experience. Use a budget every day or week to make it look more consistent. 

The same old topic mate, I believe that when one don't have control over his gambling activities that is when the person will losing all that he has to gamble because he is been controlled by addiction, either if he is sees gambling as a get rich quick means or not.

People that also see gambling as a job that they can use to survive will also end up spending all that they have on gambling because they will be busy chasing their loss and from there addiction comes in, which is not a healthy practice for gamblers. It is until gamblers have known that gambling is for entertainment wether, you loss or not, you shouldn't let it get into your head but have your gambling budget and gambling time frame for your gambling activities.

I agree with your post but knowing a gambler’s mindset, it will be more fun if you are also winning your game. That’s the reality in gambling. It will be more entertaining if we are also making some profits out of our losses. However, if one will certainly stick to your post, which I think that’s how gambling should be, yes you may play for fun and entertainment with your favorite games, but it’s still inevitable for most of the gamblers to bet on a bigger amount and expect for a higher rewards most especially if you also know how to play the game well. Thus, you are  satisfying yourself with your games while your wallet is filled with profits as well.
