Topic: Gambling for fun and not a way of making money - page 2. (Read 1272 times)

Yes of course people never gamble for fun but they gamble to make money out of it, and the number of gambling addiction is increasing due to the spread of gambling ads on various social media. Most of the people are confident that they will earn a lot of money by gambling and get rich easily but these get rich schemes make them poor. And those who make such plans are very difficult to stop from gambling because they always pay attention to it which is why they never want to stop, but few people gamble just for fun.

Nowadays, the most addictive reason for newbies is the spreading of advertisements on various social medias, which attracts people by showing attractive promises. And when new gamblers go in believing these enticing assurances, they end up losing more money than they intended to make. Gradually a user gets more into gambling and becomes addicted but later if he loses his money he does not want to come back from it but greed works inside him. That's why I think gambling is never for fun but it's best to stay away from it otherwise it will become an addiction at some point and you will lose money all the time.

Everyone has their own goals and reasons why they come with these intentions such as to earn (multiply) or just for entertainment and these goals also come based on how they understand gambling itself, simply put if for example they come without having a mature understanding of what gambling really is then I think they will have the goal of gambling to earn like you here, but if basically they really understand that gambling is not just about the chances of winning but always involves the possibility of losing then they will prefer to make gambling a place to find entertainment.

On the other hand I understand that everyone needs money but I think it is an absurd mindset if you put the goal of earning on gambling, it is true the fact that casinos provide equal opportunities to all gamblers to get winnings which may be in different amounts, but what we have to remember here is that gambling runs randomly which means you can never know about what makes you win and what makes you lose because the name of gambling is always about unpredictable activities which means it only refers to luck. The point is as I said above that I understand everyone needs money but the fact is gambling is not the place to earn because of the risk of possible loss that will continue to lurk you, this is why we prefer to advise anyone to put entertainment purposes in gambling, because this is safer for long-term involvement. And yes it is a fact that when a person puts the goal of earning then I believe they have a high probability of doing everything possible to get a win while luck will not be able to come according to what you want, I think you can judge about which one is better to be a goal.

Choosing to gamble realistically is crucial as you said. Gambling to fulfill some unrealistic expectations isn't encouraged for any gambler.  Players all have the need for money, but casinos shouldn't be the sole proprietors for this, there are multiple methods to earn money in real life. Gambling gives money when it chooses to, at least to help us continue gambling in the future. They know that if a player doesn't win at all, he'll stop gambling. For this purpose, every gambler is sure of winning money, but the time is not predictable. So, people play consistently with a low amount of money and get those wins but won't be satisfied because it's small. While other gamblers may focus on gambling with huge amounts of money till, they win, and the funds will be huge. Yet he wouldn't be satisfied, as it doesn't equate to the money he's lost in the game.

So monetary expectations are never satiable to the gambler. He'd never feel like he's achieved the type of money he has in mind to win in gambling. Hence, such thoughts should be erased and something else used to replace the feeling. Playing for fun is smart and great for the emotions of a gambler. He'd always win emotionally; due to the joy he receives whenever he thinks of gambling. Most people have developed wrong perspectives of gambling because they never met their expectations. And you can't expect a player to succeed in a game that doesn't make him happy anymore.

Remember, making a fortune overnight is a fairy tale for most of us. Gambling should be the spice, not the main course of your life. Life’s got plenty more to offer than the spin of a roulette wheel.

It really depends on the person you are asking; we are different on this kind of question. But for me, of course, I gamble because I want to gain more money, risking it and hoping it will grow. Having fun in gambling is not the priority; maybe the next reason why you are gambling is because, not gonna lie, gambling is indeed really fun; it is like playing games, and predicting the outcome is very enjoyable, especially if you are in the role. Also, I think it is one of the things that we think whenever we lose, just to mend ourselves, we will say, "It is fine; we just gamble for fun," and after that, we will feel good.

At the end of the day, I think most of the gamblers gamble because they want more money, not because they are just gambling for fun. 

Emotions would really be the main problem for most gamblers on which on the time that they would really be able to experience those consecutive losses then this is where these kind of impulsive
emotions would really be tending to come out and in result you would really be making out those kind of impulsive actions as well on which we do know that once these things been applied
on a gambling activity then it would really be something that gives out that disastrous kind of result. Gambling should really be just that for fun and not something that would be just aimed to make
easy money because having these kind of hopes and positivity would really be just that making you desperate.

As much as possible you should really be stopping or refraining yourself on having this kind of insight or having that in mind because once you do have this
kind of perception then wrong decisions or acts could really be done along the way.

Exactly sine if we don't think about the return then I think there's no exciting prize to target with, that's why aside from having fun on the games played we also need to be more careful on each approach we made on every situation so that we can avoid to get stress and lose money then instead we can be a profitable at that time then always make sure to be prepare on certain situation which determine that we need to quit since we already have enough.

Chasing money will always end up bad for us especially if we aim to much high that hard to reach so its better to know certain realistic targets so that once we hit that we can get out and enjoy the profit we take from those casino. We always been feel satisfied with the result especially if we win that's why its good to gamble with discipline since this could save us to trigger us not to do any wild placing of bets.

No need saying that all fun gamblers want is the fun in gambling, it's clear that the money is a part of the fun. The only importance of gambling for fun, is to elevate the emotions of the gambler and refrain him from depression caused by too many losses. This strategy, also, helps the gambler to wager bit by bit, as he's not fully interested in the money. Those who go for the money, most often, are players that don't care about their bank roll. Saving up money while gambling is fun, losing out all our money isn't. Hence, it's better to be careful and retain our happiness. Chasing money, uncontrollably, only requires carelessness and puts the gambler in a mode where he could lose out his savings. Thereby, risking him to addictive gambling. A person who is happy over his gaming results, is way better than a player who regrets or gets sad over losing out money in gambling.

Exactly. Gambling would not be the same if there was not that small voice or hope within ourselves about making money out our gambling sessions, otherwise, gambling with fake money would be as popular as gambling with actual money, and we do not see that happening whatsoever, we do not see fake money casinos to thrive and be as popular as actual casinos, so definitely feelings like greed and seeking for profit are key in order for people to continue to wager money.
Though, those feelings can be found in different intensities depending on the person who is gambling and how addicted/used to gambling has become through the years, it is not the same someone expecting to get a handful of dollars from their gambling session than someone seeking to change their life thanks to a very unexpected jackpot. (I believe seeking for a jackpot may be the most destructive habit a gambler could have).
So even though we all can admit we would indeed want to earn some money out of our wagering, the important thing is not to allow ourselves to be deluded by the prospect of money and just enjoy the thrill of gambling.

I get it - the "big win" thrills you. How often does it deliver on its promises of wealth? Rarely. As you say, patience and minimal stakes work. But why throw your hard-earned cash into this bottomless pit? The thrill tempts me too. I've learnt to spot the trap. You claim uniqueness, not risk. Bravo! But isnt that just "Im trying not to drown while I willingly jump into the ocean" in fancy language?

Why not reverse it? Invest in knowledge, experiences, things. That "next lucky" time is illusion. Chase it and you'll be thirstier than ever. Why not risk on something sure? Growth and delight without financial stress.

Even if all you seek for in gambling is some fun, there will always be that little hope of making money in you, if fun is all you want it won't be from gambling with money, you will get the fun without spending a dime but that can't happen with online casinos.

Let's not lie to ourselves, both responsible and irresponsible gamblers are all hoping to make some money, I tend not to lose a lot of money in the process, this is what makes me different from those who are reckless with gambling.

When I will be next lucky is unknown, and no matter how much I risk on gambling, the next luck won't come faster, why not have patience and use small amount of money on gambling? Because this is so clear that you can't predict when next you will win some money.

People are finding it difficult to gamble for fun, most people are gambling just because of the money they will make from gambling, that’s why you can see gambling addiction rising on a daily basis. Most of them do have the believe that they are going to win one day if they keep on gambling, so they are finding it difficult to stop. Just few gamblers are the once gambling just for entertainment and fun aspect.

Newbies are being introduced to gambling by addicted gamblers, so they are being told they can make money from gambling, and after losing huge amount of money and they want to give up, they are being motivated by the addicted gamblers which introduced them to gambling.

Don't take the system serious and you will be surprised when the profits starts flowing in, very easy but taking it serious will bring losses. We have different mindsets when it comes to gambler, I'll never doubt any gambler because we keep growing as these days passes by. None of these gamblers remain dormant in one position but for those desperate ones, I've a question for them. Will they be able to gamble and earn steady stream of income from the gambling system? I don't think so because gambling results are unpredictable, the repercussions of losses comes with vital differences.

Gambling can really be fun sometimes and but not many people are able to realize this because their mind and attention is so focused on the money. But if we can give it a second thought, there is so much fun we can catch gambling on our favorite events. I do remember those times we hangout friends to watch soccer in a bar were we can even place side bets after betting on our favorite teams in the platforms, whatever becomes the outcome, we just laugh over it and move on and it was all fun. We never allowed gambling to separate us or get a better part of us. To us it was all fun. This is the way I think gambling should be.

I think there are varying opinions on what and how gambling is and should be played. I think there are people who see gambling less as an entertainment and more of an option on how to win some more money.
While they see it as an option to win some more money, it doesn’t mean that they’re going to chase their losses so far down, they’ll become addicts. Notably with gambling, you’re more likely to have more losses than wins but that hasn’t stopped people from trying out heir lucks to see if they could win some extra bucks.

I think people are more aware of gambling and how much it could have an effect on their lives when handled irresponsibly. So while trying to win some money in the process, they’re careful not to let irresponsibility in gambling have a grasp on them.
Not everyone plays for entertainment. Some actually do play to get some more money.

That's right, people are so obsessed with choosing only one when the option to choose both has always been at the table, I can't even fathom the fact that people would play those games without the money as a reward, fun is relative too, not everyone considers gambling as fun, some people just don't have it in their bone to believe that gambling is for fun and not just any kind of way to make money, the reality is that gambling is created for us so we can hope that there's such a thing as easy money.

I guess the reason why it's monoperspectivism is a thing is because we grew up with white and black, no in-betweens that melds both colors, we were groomed by the society to think that choices only comes in pairs. Can't really blame those people that gamble too much for the sake of money, they got addicted and they want to get back the money that they've lost.

It is right that we enjoy gambling so that we can appreciate our playing in any casinos in the gambling field. That's why I thought about what you said—that your gambling budget is only $5. Is this the only amount you deposit on a gambling platform?

Or what you do is deposit, for example, 40 dollars, and then you can play every week with a limited amount of only 5 dollars? Is that right? because the minimum deposit in the casino is $10  and up, as far as I know.

Actually, gambling is just part of fun,but some people see it  the other way round.probably when they play a gamble,all there hope will be in that game hoping for wining.maybe if the outcome was not what they expected they will feel depressed,I think if you can't play for fun it is better you quit from gambling ,because if you know what gamble means you won't be expecting a return.

Could be one of the few times I would agree with what you say.

The common misconception people have when we talk about "gambling for fun" is them just thinking we're going to be okay and happy with splurging thousands of dollars in one go, which is simply not true. Everyone who loses that amount of money in their own worth's gonna be in shambles, even the most calm and collected clown on the planet. What we talk about when we say we are all for gambling for fun is exactly as you have mentioned Oshosondy, gambling in such a way wherein losses doesn't take a toll on your mental and gambling in such a way wherein you're able to maximize the most experience and fun from your gambling session. People can easily gamble away thousands of dollars when given the chance, but a responsible gambler who gambles for the sake of entertainment will find multitude of ways to squeeze out as much play as possible from that amount of money and still have so much fun that even when they lose that money eventually, they're not going for revenge gambling, and in turn gambling addiction.

That's basically it. It's a simple concept if you'd ask me and unless you go out there preaching as if you're some sort of evangelist you're not gonna get misconstrued for what you're saying, I'm not even sure at this point why this is still a topic when it's goal and reasoning is clearly established from the get-go.

There are surely psychological aspects of gambling and the risks associated with unchecked behavior. Indeed, understanding that gambling is primarily a form of entertainment is pivotal. When people view it solely as a means to win money or recoup losses, they can easily fall into the trap of chasing losses that leads to escalating financial and emotional turmoil.

Chasing losses behavior can exacerbate losses further that creates a vicious cycle of financial depletion and emotional distress.
Rather than focusing solely on recovering losses, people should shift their mindset towards preventing future losses by adopting responsible gambling practices from the outset. Acknowledging the potential consequences of gambling addiction and taking proactive steps to limit gambling activities can safeguard individuals from significant harm and financial detriment.
