I know for sure that if we take periodic account of how many times that we gamble, maybe weekly, monthly or yearly, we'll find out that the loses are far greater than the winnings, so I sometimes wonder how we can be indulging in something that we lose far more than we gain, in the name of having fun. I know that it's human nature to want to conquer, defeat, control and be the leader, yet we go into gambling knowing that the system doesn't give us a fair advantage of achieving these aims, yet we're happy to go back and likely be defeated again.
Well, we can compare it to people having fun on cinema, hiking or even eating foods. Did they win something? Obviously aside from fun, they win nothing. Gambling have its unique feature that is distinctive. That is the possibility to win while having fun. Unlike those entertainment activity that only gives us spending.
Perhaps deep down in our conscience, somewhere that we don't like to listen to, it still tells us the truth that the reason why we're going to gamble is to hopefully win money, not really to have fun.
It is given the fun in gambling is winning money while enjoying the game. Some may not think of that but I believe majority of gamblers are hoping to win from their bet.
I know that it's said that you should gamble the amount that you can afford to loose, but will you call it a true fun when you know that there's a higher probability of losing your bet?
Will you call watching the cinema fun if you know for sure that you are losing money in buying tickets and some snacks to eat while watching?
