Topic: Gambling for fun and not a way of making money - page 8. (Read 1272 times)

It's possible to gamble for fun like playing play to earn games or maybe p2p gambling games, but gambling is an addictive habit and at times might still go out of control into playing for the reward, and it's good we have a level of control over our gambling habit least we use the excuse of saying we are gambling for fun to promote a bad habit and reck our finances. Im getting quite interested in fun gambling games can you recommend any to me .

people's interpretations of "gambling is for fun" may vary, some say that gambling for fun is when you gamble but you think that you don't need to take gambling too seriously or just enjoy the excitement of the game. but i see that gambling for fun is when you don't consider that gambling is not your place to be able to double your money and don't consider that it is an investment for you. the point is that you don't think that gambling is not a place to make money and you are ready for all the risks that your money will be lost.

Gambling has many meaning to people but if you ask me what gambling is about, I will say it's risk people take to win something and that thing they anticipate to win is money, the only thing that keep gambling running, the reason why we have increased in the number of people that gamble are motivated by the money but I must also admit that we have some people that gamble for fun, they don't really care about the money but then again, the amount they put is always way below the amount they can afford to lose, you don't expect someone to risk big amount of money in thousands and millions to gamble unless they are trying to do money laundering.

If Gambling is really existing because of the fun, we will have less number. If there is even a casino where money is not even, like they open it free for everyone, trust me when I say people will not patronize them, they will rather go to where money is involved and where the can win something that's why I don't take people serious when they say they are gambling for fun yet you are been careful when you stake and get sad when you lose, that's not way to be fun.

I will say again like other times that we have many more options just to have fun, since we have more options to have fun then why should we take such fun with maximum risk of money. A gambler never gambles with the idea that gambling will be a lot of fun, but with the idea that he will surely win by gambling. Fun usually comes from winning because winning at gambling increases your money and you feel better when you increase your money. You ask people who lose at gambling how much they enjoy losing or how much fun they have losing their money.

Making money is hard and people risk money to make money, money is not a fun thing at all. So I would like to stay in my conclusion that there are many options for fun, we must not have such fun with maximum risk of money.

If you already know how to control yourself when gambling, it means you already understand how to gamble responsibly, moreover you already understand how to use the mindset of gambling which is actually just for fun, if you understand that, usually you also have can know when to gamble and when to stop gambling and then withdraw money, I think not many can do that because basically most gamblers always think that gambling is a place to make steady money for them, so they think they don't need to work anymore looking for money is just enough to gamble and make money there, even though that is clearly difficult to imagine, let alone make it a reality.

Every time we gamble, luck accompanies us, so the profits we get, if we can manage it, will definitely not be lulled by high results, just bet and win then withdraw the money, this method is more effective than thinking about continuing to play and continuing the game and ultimately losing all the money. , will definitely be regretted. That's the importance of gambling to have fun because the mind is not focused on winning, so you can enjoy the game more and it's easy to win.

Everything depends on the person, if he wants to gamble to make money or have fun as long as it is money that he can afford to lose that will be fine, but if he is gambling to make money using his savings or money coming from loans and that money is a money that he should not lose, he is pressured to win and this is not fun, everything depends on the money you're using and your motivation on how you are going to use it.
So it's two things that define gambling to make money and gambling to have fun, the money where it comes from its intended to be used, and your motivation.

That is because you are seeing gambling as a money making method, a job or an investment. Therefore, indeed you aren't going to see any fun on this, since you are solely doing this for the income. Along your gambling session there won't be room for fun and relaxation, because you are constantly concerned about making profit from it to justify the time and money "invested" on gambling. And once you spot gambling is not working as you would like it worked, you get upset, frustrated and angry.

However, not every gamblers have the same mindset of yours. Some people just want to relax after a stressing day at the job, or to get rid of the boredom of having an idle life, what is pretty common among people who don't have any issues with money, but have issues finding what to do with their money. In these cases, gambling is going to be fun, anyway, despite the outcomes still being negative and unprofitable on long run.

It's important to keep in mind there are gamblers and gamblers. And those who are seeking for money exclusively are engaged on this activity following a wrong concept.

Gambling for fun is like paying a premium service, such as 5 star hotels perhaps, other than booking a cheaper one if it is just for the sake of having a roof to stay. Idea is with the experience; you could be losing in gambling but if you enjoyed the thrill, the game, nd the chance of earning profit then for sure you are entertained. Although it is not exactly the same feeling or experience but I do associate it with such instance; paying for more. If it is just for pure entertainment and putting bets aside, then you could just watch a game on television. However, betting is the flavor of watching a game. Accepting the tendency or possibility of losing is what will make a gambler enjoy gambling. But no matter how we want to look at gambling, it is a normal response to chase money for those who hope that much simply because they took the risk. They won't be chasing such feat if they're just watching and not being tensed of whatever outcome happens.

Gambling they said is very risky and we can't dispute the facts that people always said we should gambling for fun while directly we always have money involved in it, no matter how we try to rephrase the whole concepts we know that gambling involves money and for that we should be very mindful on how we put our money to gamble because that is the only major interest of casino owners. Their major interest is for a gambler to never win whenever they are gambling because the more they win the more they lose money.

The casino is programmed very way hard for you and I to win, even if you must win the possibility is very low therefore gambling is never gambling when money is not involved. That is to say when you exclude money from gambling you may finds it difficult to gamble because there is no profits flowing in anymore and lots of people wouldn't mind quitting gambling because there is no benefits coming from it.

Gambling for fun doesn’t mean you will lose always. It seems that you frequently lose on your gambling which means that having on a casino cost you a lot but I understand it since I can still be happy even if I lose on gambling sometimes. It’s really more fun if you frequently win rather than losing because there’s always part of you that will cling to that lose money.


Lucky 9 is a popular version of Bacarrat in my country which I really like because you will have an option to hit or stand for your own cards unlike the traditional bacarrat which you will just choose between player and dealer to bet.

As in the title made by OP, that is true because I have played gambling in the casino several times just for fun, and it doesn't matter to me even if I lose because my goal is really just to have fun or just pass the time. Although sometimes, even though my motive is just like that, there is also a chance that I will also experience a win.

That's why my winnings always range from around $20 to $50. I get them in slot games and Baccarat when I'm lucky, but I really just want to have fun, and when I win like that, I stop.

There's a lot of debate about gambling whether is it for fun or a way to make money, this is the exact definition of gambling.


When we go to a casino, or a lottery, or a horse betting station, or challenge a friend for a bet, we are betting or risking our money for a chance to double it so the act is a motivation for us that we want to make money from gambling.

And on the part of having fun, it is betting your money that you can afford to lose, it's not fun anymore when you put your money intended to pay a bill it's impossible to have fun doing that, your wife is going to despise you if you do that.

We all want to make money from betting it is just human to hope to make money from risking his money, all casinos are created to invite you to take a chance of doubling your money, but they don't want you to use your savings or money to pay bills which is they always remind players to only play what they can afford to lose and they expect their players to take heed of their call to gamble responsibly.

There's a thrill in playing in a casino and you want to go home still remembering that thrill and not the money that you lose intended for food, you will just hate yourself for doing that and you will forget all the fun you have. 

I see quite a lot of people who question this about why gambling should be done with the aim of having fun? This is gambling which is an activity that can stimulate the human brain and mind due to something that looks very tempting and when it turns out that the expected thing does not happen it is very likely to ultimately affect mentally and psychologically especially when someone is unable to account for his gambling activities or is unable to accept the fact of defeat at the end of the session, the reason? gambling does not have any certainty that can guarantee you to win at the end of the session because this is a risk-taking activity which means that you will not be able to avoid losing.

This is the reason why gambling should not be used as a place to earn because of course if you want to earn then the place must have the certainty of being able to produce but on the other hand gambling does not have elements that can guarantee you to always win except just "coincidence", so Therefore, it is more advisable for anyone to gamble for fun, because then there will not be too much seriousness that you attach to this activity, rather you should make gambling a place to "fill your free time" when you are on holiday. working or not having other activities, and also because you are not serious, I am sure that you will not do things that are beyond your abilities, such as betting with large budgets. On the other hand we can find indications that gambling is no longer fun when we experience tension and worry and that means we will be able to find the point of our error and of course the point of error is that you have the wrong approach, so in essence the idea of gambling for "fun" is just to divert the mind we are from what is called "seriousness". There is no significant seriousness in seeking pleasure because you will only do it when you feel like it, but it is very possible for you to gamble "without limits" when you set a goal to earn because basically everyone needs/wants money.

I remember there was a thread talks about "will you keep gamble if the reward goes to the casino regardless you win or lose?" when someone replied "no, there's no point to gamble if we can't earn money" then he will say "it means you're gambling to earn money" LOL.

For such people, don't need to pay attention to "gambling isn't to make money" but focus to only gamble what you can afford to lose.

The newbies are actually going into gambling because they want to win. Basically, they want to make money. Whether we want them to look at gambling as entertainment, the desire to win will be more like wanting to make money. Even if you only want to bet with just $1 for your gambling, you still desire to make more out of it.

If a person can win and enjoy his winning I guess he can call it entertainment but for those who lost money, its not gonna be fun anymore and they want to gamble to get back that lost money.

Gambling is entirely large and very hard to fully comprehend because when you say we shouldn't spend time on gambling how do we enhance our skills or becoming more acquainted with it to know how to predicts and master the rest things? Sometimes the impression people gives in gambling makes us not understand the better way to follow it all, why because you will see someone who doesn't want to spend time and yet looking for a way win big from gambling.

Is this normal or is there any shortcut to it when you don't give quality time to what you are doing; based on my understanding before you could master anything or become more familiarized with it you should have developed your time and energy to study about that particular thing very well than just giving it little time and expect a great result from it, you can never reap where you didn't spend time to understand the logic behind the whole progression of that events be it anything in life and for that your resources, time and energy must involved to become successful in what you are doing and I think this is equivalent to gambling as well even though some of the gambling guidelines has been listed to us and of curse we shouldn't be that carried away by the intriguing profits that we could get at the later ends, where we keep spending what we can't afford to lose rather than those amount we think if given out it wouldn't cause any harm to us.

No matter how you twist this, gambling for fun will never make sense to me because I do not see any fun gambling with my money. Assuming that there were fun in gambling, the fact that money is involved, emotions will be engaged and this will dissipate the fun. If we treat gambling as fun, we might become careless, not adhering strictly to rules and strategy made to ensure the gambler protect his capital and manage his winnings effectively. Therefore, I see gambler as a business which require that the gambler remained focused and disciplined. In addition, since it involves money, proper money management must be put in place so the gambler do not get carried away by fear, greed or a combination of both.

People spend money just for sightseeing or tourism. There is no financial gain in visiting tourist sights, yet people still spend money because they see it as entertainment. The belief that people gamble mainly for profit is not totally correct. From observation, many people gamble for money but it is not all gamblers that have such an orientation. The population might be small but people still gamble for fun.

For me, gambling is both for fun and the money. I do not have any intention to go and lose money in the casino because I am not Father Christmas, I intend to make money. However, I do not see gambling as a source of income and I don't gamble with more than what I can afford to lose. If I win it is a lucky day, but if I don't I will comfortably bear the loss.       

I don't find it a reasonable purpose to have fun for others to play gambling. Come on people. Winning is more fun. Don't take gambling just to have fun. Take seriously every of your gambling session. Even playing luck-based games, once you already reached the fun of getting a decent profit, take a break and enjoy your winnings.

The real fun is when you win and use the winning money outside gambling.

I understand both users' views however I don't think the example that OP gave can be considered appropriate things.

Some gamble because they want money for financial needs.
Some gamble for fun they can afford to do this because there are other sources of income so when they lose it doesn't matter what.

Determine then your criteria and in terms of experience because more suggest gambling not for a successful passive income it is unlikely that you will lose spending all the capital.

At the moment, just do the responsibility where when you money can play if not then next time there must be time to play just that.
But about a lot of experience it is clear that we have experienced it but now it is more improved than chasing profits.
