Topic: Gambling for fun and not a way of making money - page 4. (Read 1556 times)

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.

This type of player cannot be eliminated. Competitive gaming communities create a sense of belonging, where people who share the same passion for the game come together and encourage each other. Competitive win games offer a fun and competitive experience, encouraging enjoyment and excitement.
For example poker. Poker is a popular social game, where players gather around a table and interact with each other through betting and discussions about playing strategies. Players of different levels can learn from each other by sharing tips and strategies. Poker can be a fun and entertaining game, especially when played with friends.

Gambling for funs means you don't care about the results of the game that you're playing, you're only gambling to make you feel entertained. There are some individual that love to risk their money to have fun. When there money is being at risk, they'll get the best motivation to become more competitive and try to win the house. They don't succeed but the effort is also appreciated. You can't win the house when gambling therefore gambling should just be an act of entertainment.

You have to be motivated to win regardless of the reason why you're gambling. It's the good winning results that keeps you gambling as if you failed when you gambled the first time you won't want to gamble more. Also those that are just starting to gamble claim that they're gambling for entertainment but the reason they're gambling is to try to make extra money to look after their needs in life.

This is such a difficult motto to sometimes accept, for many it has become a cliché to see things this way, we all know that this thing of playing just for fun is just the motto that is used to guarantee that the game is not ma, and in reality it is not bad, when we see and go further back in time, why was the caisno invented? to make them enjoy, unless we have a pleasant time and forget about the tasks we have to accomplish in our daily lives, it is something that we all have of course but we know very well that we must know how to do it, but to understand this, we have to You have to have the necessary maturity to see that the things in a casino will always be favorable for the house, because the house is the one that will never suffer from any type of loss , Unless they have a big Mistake , a bug , or something like that, but it is if and only if this is decrypted.

We also see things in a very different way, it is known that when we play we can generate many ways of seeing the game, as a way to play and earn money and as an activity that we consider fun, this It is always like this, so it is up to us to Realize that the casino is for fun and to have a lot of fun if we win.


We all seek to win in a casino and this is Something that is normal , in fact when I enter the casino to play any game because I seek to win, there is no other way than my simple impulse and the desire to do things well, to have fun and to We continue to do things very well , so When we do any type of activity that is carried out with money, we seek to Earn and have a lot, but we always make the effort to earn.

It is a lie that things are about playing for the sake of playing, because no one is going to play to lose money, everyone is looking to make money and anyone who goes to a casino just because they want to do things Differently and not win , is not well Regarded, and besides, they are not he is believed.

They will only suffer losses if they do not understand that gambling is entertainment. They will tend to continue playing gambling even without stopping because they will think to keep trying to win their gambling game.
It will only increase the amount of loss to be greater than before because they did not think about limiting their gambling and just wanted to try to win. They should stop restoring their defeat by gambling and thinking about preventing the next defeat.
Before we become a gambling addict, we should immediately limit our gambling activities and also limit the money and time we use to play gambling. It will not be worth it if you are addicted to gambling because it will cause a huge loss for you.

True, and what is more appropriate in my opinion is to gamble with the aim of fun by minimizing or not putting too much effort into getting a win, after all gambling is a probability activity that only provides "possibilities", meaning there is no certainty whatsoever to actually be able to materialize according to your wishes, and therefore a healthy approach to gambling is when you make it an activity with the aim and priority for entertainment but when you are lucky and win then it is a decision that does not hurt to cash out.

It is true that I also recognize and see that most people always try to make gambling a place to earn or even to change their financial fortunes or make it a solution to financial problems such as paying off debts, honestly this is a worrying mindset because of course with such a mindset and goals in the end will actually make them experience a much worse situation, such as in terms of debt, instead of being able to pay debts but what happens is that they are even more in debt, and this is what will happen when you have the wrong understanding of gambling.

You can actually gamble for fun but that's not without the motivation of winning, how would you feel if what you are doing for fun just involves you spending money all the time without receiving anything back from it sometimes, it would actually be more interesting if it was done for fun and still promises to pay you.

But many people actually view gambling from one perspective of getting money and that's why they find it hard to control themselves from not gambling everyday or too much, and since its viewed as something that gives money they would want to give more into it than usual

Fivestar4everMVP's quote is the most interesting one in this thread. I am glad that he said that despite the fact that he promotes a casino, it's good that he is 100% fair with us. I don't know statistics well but to my mind, gambling should be a better way of entertainment for elder generation instead of video games because it's a new thing for them and many people over 40 don't and haven't even played a video games frequently but casino games have been popular all the time because it didn't require any internet or electricity and smart equipment back then. So, for some people, it might be a better way of entertainment than video games.
Well, it's hard to say whether it's some people purely gamble for fun or for profit. I can say that I sometimes gamble for fun but sure, I expect profit, although, it's not my priority because I understand what I am doing and what can be the result, so, I don't wanna ruin my life.

      That's how I feel sometimes when I gamble in the casino. There are also times when I would be lucky enough to win, but usually I'm just passing the time, and I only have an amount of money set aside for gambling and I don't exceed my gambling amount.

     That's just the cycle I do when I play crypto gambling. And maybe other gamblers are also like me maybe in this style.

It is hard to change people's mind if it's about gambling. Those that have been believing that it's a way to make money but they don't gamble at all, it's like you're arguing to a kid over a cotton candy and that kid won't allow you to win the argument. And you as the person against that kid, you won't also allow that kid to dictate what you wanna do. With this, it's better to understand the point of everyone on why they think they're right and the belief that they're set on. While us, we know the hard reality about this and we have to understand every person that's dealing with this kind of thing.

If someone wants to have fun, for sure that it's not just all about having fun but also making him/her some money as they gamble. Nobody wants to go home with nothing as they gamble and that's how our minds are being tricked when we're losing. We think that we can go over for more games and survive another set of disasters of losing. But in the end, the chance of losing is higher than ever so regardless of everyone's reason, as long as you're not giving hassle to somebody, you're not taking loans to gamble, you're not selling stuff and not doing anything stupid just for you to gamble, I think that's the most important thing to remember here.

I don't disagree that they are some gamblers like that but I still think that a large portion of Persons in the world that gamble are actually focused on some incentives attached to the fun way of gambling and that's why I believe the particular folks that gamble and lose crazy and still take it to be means of enjoyment for them are the filthy rich guys and one perfect example is the famous rap artist DRAKE, he renowned for his wild stakes on soccer and other different sports but you may ask why do all this when obviously you have the funds but the answers would be for fun I guess.

There are gamblers who gamble for fun, they don't really care about the profit or loss it is their way to enjoy their time.
I think it is their way to have excitement or thrill while playing, we should know that playing without a risk to past time are boring, and we wouldn't take the game seriously if there is no risk.

But many gamblers are taking it as a place of investment and, many gamblers have lost millions of dollars in gambling hoping that, it's the amount of money you put in gambling that will determine your win and, it has lead many to be addicted because gambling is made for fun which is the reason some gamblers are still in the gambling today without be addicted to gambling.

 I like gambling as fun and, any day I will not gamble it will make me feel as if something is missing in my dressing until I gamble before my real mood will come to normal and my daily budget for gambling is $5 and there is nothing that will make me gamble above that amount whether winning or loosing which is my principle in gambling.

On a general opinion, you're both right and e can however concluded that when we are gambling, we are making a form of any entertainment whether we are that interested in making money from it or not, but the chances is either we win or loose while gambling, so it's very simple to me if you ask me, i will tell that you're paying for the entertainment received from a gambling casino each time you're gambling and this applies to the same way you can pay for any form of an entertainment without the expectation of getting your money back, whlle gambling gives more opportunity that we can earn from it while doing same.

Fun alone is like a escape from reality, it's like gamblers who don't want to keep gambling but only have to lie to themselves that they are getting fun from gambling, the little times that I get fun from gambling is when I have nothing else to do than to challenge myself or my lucky star, just to see if luck is really on my side of such day.

How many casino games are truly entertaining? They are not many at all, I gamble to make money too, like I will be ashamed of saying it? Never, I gamble to make money but in a safer way that won't left me with regrets, we are all here to make money, but over expectations is what's killing many people.  

Gambling isn't reliable, because it never was, it's all about how lucky anyone can get, and obviously it's not something that will happen every blessed day, you will lose, you could lose a lot, but if all you are throwing at the sharks are some left over fish bones with small fish on them, what do you have to lose?

I can assure that anything has to be that you are putting money and expecting to gain in any way is not a fun in my own perception indeed it is not. Because it takes your sweat to make the money and energy to stake it in order to win so do you know the meaning of this actual word "stake"on it something it actually means "the risk of harming or losing something very important if an action or decision  doesn't go your way or have the results you expect or want.." so you are telling is actually a fun no I totally disagree on that...

Gambling can be worst if you didn't have the strong will to control yourself in how to stake and when you are cautious about your stakes thanks

Well you won't and can't blame anyone for thinking such and that's because the emphasis of the said point can be really confusing especially if the person is a newbie because I believe whether we like it or not the mass public actually believe that gambling is actually a way to earn some cash be it planned or by luck or a better explanation and expatiation on the idea would really go a long way.
