I find it hard to believe completely because who doesn't like to make some more money even if it is not needed.

If you knew the exact sum you were going to loose gambling, and you are the type that they say " gambles for fun", will you find it fun loosing that money still? will you return another day in awareness of how much you will loose and still want to loose for fun?

Well if you don't make money you can't gamble for long but yeah tons of people do it for the adrenaline rush more than even the money part. It's an addiction to some, so it's probably a mixed bag of why people gamble. Not always for the money.

The context should not be gambling for fun to lose money since it says you should gamble what you can afford to lose, there's a big difference on that. And it depends on every single person on how they would do that since I find carnival have a small gambling area intended just for fun.

If you didn't find it fun when gambling then I guess you are in a serious business of making money out of it. I guess not everyone who goes to casino or who plays online casino was searching for fun when it's casual to them almost every day.

I guess OP thinks that since we're gambling we are bound lose our money if we choose to have fun. Yes, that is sometimes correct like when you try to gamble your money for the sake of the pure fun like betting on something that has a low chance of winning or betting a huge amount on a high chance winning rate. But that does not mean that you need to lose your money for the sake of fun as you can try to strategize your bets and have fun along the way.
We gamble our money that we can only afford to lose to minimise the pain of losing on gambling platform but it's for us to decide whether to take it too seriously or to think how much fun weve made while betting on these platforms.
Anyway, I guess OPs questions only refer to those who are very rich or those who take gambling too seriously.

It largely depends on what status/period you are in as a gambler. If you are already gambling a lot and have lost large amounts of money, I don't think you can say that gambling is for fun. If you are in the beign stage, you will have to agree on bankroll management with yourself. 9 out of 10 can't keep up with that. The golden rule is still that gambling should be viewed as glee for pleasure, not to "earn" money. Then things often go horribly wrong.

Even if you do say its a hobby then it is really hard to say that you are playing for fun.After you had lost up that much then it is considered that you are playing gambling for profit.

When you are playing just for fun then you wouldnt really be that always playing on extreme manner and you wouldnt be spending up that much so its up to someone whether

he do consider out himself to be a regular gambler for fun or totally aiming on making profits even its against with the odds.

It's not too strange with this because even many addicts claim and feel that they are not addicts so it's not too strange anymore about it because they certainly don't want to admit this because it can be said that this is a bad enough habit so it's quite natural. they deny it.
Regarding hobbies, it is clear that it is not for fun, but it can be said as one of the roots of addiction there in my opinion because when we say hobbies, it is impossible to do it just for a distraction when bored

Majority of us would really be on that denial that we arent addicted but the people around you could definitely tell that you are because they arent blind on not to see on how often you do play gambling.

If you arent addicted then you would just play gambling on occasional manner on which you dont spend time that much and also you dont spend that much.

There are still people who do play and wont care about on how much they have lost as long they could get the leisure that they do seek of.

This is why this topic is indeed subjective. Gamblers have diverse pint of views towards gambling and hence have differing reasons and intentions when playing. It is true that there are gamblers constantly chasing that opportunity to change their lives through winning a huge sum, but there also those who are just in here for the fun and pleasure that this type of activity brings. It doesn’t have to be black and white here, OP. We all have different stand on such matter, and nothing is less valid over the other.

Not totally subjective but there are just others who don't want to admit that they are gambling to expect winnings, not just purely for fun.

Is it's ok to lose since they are gambling for fun? Give me a break lol.

I don't believe they are really just having fun even they are just occasionally doing gambling. It's looked like they are just having fun but on their inner-self, they desire to win. That's the real score here.

Gamblers their choice. Everyone comes into gambling with different motives so respecting their choice is best be it for fun or for the money it's a personal decision because if it turns out negative the bear the consequences alone and if it's positive many will want to associate with the wins so it's a choice

Gambling is purely the choice of the gambler and we should not make conclusion on the decision. However if there is no money in the process of gambling, then there is no fun. Money is the one that brings fun as well as the disappointment, frustration and other mental issues. From the very early days of life existence there is gambling. Those in the beginning days were of fun, but now this isn't anymore the truth. Maybe there are exceptions which is very low in number.

So far, I don't find any person who thinks like this, gambling for fun only, only to fulfill the desire of gambling. If they're lost, how can they be still fun?
Most of the reasons why people are gambling so far is to earn money, more money getting jackpots, and others. The purpose goal is money. I personally will not also be hypocritical and idealistic to say that I gamble just for fun. I will clearly say that I do gambling because it is also to earn money. If I win, I will be happier.
But, i also will not blame anybody who has the thought of gambling is just for fun, because this may be how the way they are having fun, by spending money and getting involved in many gambling activities or games.

People gamble for a chance to win something. Whether or not they will have fun doing that depends on the person. I may drop spare money on a slot machine on a gas station and wouldn't really mind if I win or lose since I know the amount is small. The fun part there is the excitement of what the result could be.

Unfortunately, these people who think gambling is fun don't realize that while having fun, they are losing a large amount of already. They will still believe that it's ok to lose because they are having fun. I can't believe how these people treat gambling for fun were in fact, they are losing more while they are doing it. Kind of dumb thinking to me to gamble if not serious on getting a good win.

Well, that's their life. I hope they are really having fun doing gambling while losing money.

when someone has lost money continuously in gambling and the losses are quite a lot I think it is categorized as an addict because indeed they continue to gamble even though they lose in the hope of returning the loss even though it will only get bigger.
I personally am still confused about the concept of fun in gambling because the scope is quite large, is it really fun to just want to play or is it fun when they win I think this needs to be looked at further

Losing a lot of money is cannot be called addiction yet since maybe there are certain scenarios what they encounter that's why this occur, but we can call a person already addicted to gambling if we can see him always facing his head on gambling site and all of his daily activities get affected like didn't eat on correct time and cannot sleep well without thinking gambling.

Maybe its all for us on how we take gambling since gambling made for entertainment and its just people overlook the situation and want to earn quick money out of it.

In the first place, why pursue becoming rich thru doing gambling? It's not making sense.

A lot of players are seeking the "big jackpot" or the win that can "change the life".
These events are not impossible but...practically close to impossible.
I have seen several person in my Country (a couple also in my city) that after a big win (millions of EURO) have wasted everything in shopping and buying useless stuff... at end it was just a temporary change of their life, nothing that really matters.

If you arent that wise with those winning of yours then you would really be going back on where you are before thats why whenever you do get some good winnings came from neither on gambling or on other
stuffs then you should really be mindful on where to spend it and able to sustain and wont be going back when you are still poor or average.

It is true that people do mostly seek into those life changing kind of opportunities or chances which could possibly be attained in gambling and its true that it is really close to impossible
but people doesnt really stop on engaging into it and seek out for that chance but if you arent that lucky then you would make yourself putting into big trouble.

Of course yes! They bet because yes, the very act of betting is fun in itself.

It's like asking, would you play cards just for fun? without a prize? for the sole fact of winning, in my case, the answer is yes.

In fact, the normal sense of people is that they value entertainment more than profit in cash, I don't know, your question is dangerous, because you may be dealing with a tendency to want to bet every day and always want to have profits. Just kidding

Finally, a recreational person in world of casinos, returns, bets and loses, nothing happens, it's like going to a movie theater, the beach, healthy people like to bet, if there are profits, fine, if you didn't spend the moment and that's it.

I do not really see how this is something amazing or impossible to explain, obviously we would like to win but if you understand the math behind the games then you know that over the long term you have no chance to win it at all.

But then why those people gamble when they could save themselves their money? For the same reason people pay for their entertainment, if you go to the movies not only you spend money on the tickets but on food or the gasoline to get there and yet you do it, you are losing money as you state to pay for a few hours of entertainment, and gambling for fun follows the same principle.

Following the same principle but different way on how they would have done it and we know that people does have different preference when it comes to things on which some would be dealing
with those things which involves ordinary ways on spending out their time with leisure or into those times on where they do gamble for the sake of fun.Both ways could really means about
spending up money, it is just people do always have that bad image when someone do deals with gambling as if it was a sin to do so. lol

It depends on the player. For me, I play gambling for fun and also for money I play mostly blackjack and sports betting I play both games for money but I also enjoy them at the same time but to tell you the truth I play gambling for profit but I learned to play games that I know that will give fun or entertains me so it depends on the person if he would appreciate the game and have fun with it while also playing for profit.

How often do you see bettors who make money on bets? These are insignificant fractions of a percent (and the higher the distance, the lower the percentage). How often do you see betters making bets to support their team, try their luck or just get some adrenaline? I see a lot of such bettors. Therefore, the answer to your question is yes, this is the real and most common option.

believe it or not, there are people who find gambling relaxing, entertaining, or just like you said "fun". there are people who don't really mind losing and winning is just a bonus. it might be hard to believe because we have been so used to knowing/seeing that gambler's priority is to win money.

I agree with this because I see mostly those who are wealthy or wealthy who are gambling for fun, to relax, and to kill time because that is what they find enjoyable. However, I believe that those of us who are middle class or lower middle class are simply hoping to win, with winning considered a bonus for some. I believe we can all agree that it is more enjoyable to play with friends who are also present and participating, as it is rather tedious to be playing and losing a lot of money.

Playing gambling just for fun.
Gamblers are only looking for fun at the gambling table after doing the routine in a week, a gambler is never worried about losing the money in his wallet, although the goal is not to lose, but the gambler will get inner satisfaction after his desire is channeled. Risk management has been considered before sitting at the gambling table, they will spend the amount of money that has been allocated to gamble.

It is is best to know if how much your going to spend in gambling because that wont shock you and that cant make you broke easily. When you have a money left you can always comeback the next day. Of course, it is not fun to lose money because you work hard for it but you should not think that you gamble because your going to lose this money but think as if it was a payment for a service to get you entertained.

In movies you also pay to watch but do you question your self about the money that you spend? No, right? And why would you make more money if you don't need it anyway? It was like why will you want more games when you already have lots of it. You cannot still use it.
