Topic: gambling for fun vs gambling for the financial benefit. - page 14. (Read 2317 times)

Fun 100%. I never really thought of it as a way to earn money but I suppose a part of me in the past thought I could get some quick bucks now and then if I got lucky, but never fully committed to thinking it was a solid way to earn. I fully understood both then and now that it'd be dumb to rely on luck to earn money.

To give a basis ig, basically an amount that would risk my living standards and basic needs. In the first place, I already have a set amount that I use to gamble. Even if it did go past that, I think I'd still be fine since I set it with a bit of a lax area just in case, but I guess anything past that would be too much. However I'd say discussing your amount of winnings is the part that takes away from gambling. Maybe discussing the result of one, two recent games then sure, it's ok. But if it was total amount? Nah, it'd just get depressing real quick.

agreed. Even though there are people who gamble for fun, I'm sure deep down in their hearts there is a desire to win. Everyone who gambles definitely has the aim of wanting to get a profitable win. It is impossible for people to gamble with the idea of wanting to spend money or wanting to lose. It is impossible. Hoping to win at slot gambling is the same as hoping for the impossible, but no one knows what will happen in the future, because last night I won quite a big win at slot gambling, even though I wasn't playing seriously, but this might be what is called luck.

Yes, in any form of gambling, you will eventually win or lose, but in my opinion, losing dominates more than winning, because even though gambling requires skill, it only increases the chances of winning, but even so, luck cannot be separated, luck still has a role. That's good, we should gamble with money we can afford to lose.

Some people will come to a gambling place with stable and much better finances so they will not have problems if they experience losses on the bets they place. But I don't see gambling as a way to make money like we work in other places because of the uncertain nature of gambling. The biggest mistake that people make when gambling is because the income structure is unstable so in conditions like this it will only increase the problem and if they are not responsible in spending money then this addiction can kill many things.

It is very difficult to control gambling for those who do not have a steady source of income because the perception of seeking profit from the gambling they do will affect them psychologically. Gamble when we have a certain amount of money that is not affected for daily needs because even if we lose it will not create problems in our lives. If we ourselves are unable to control it, then don't expect other people to be able to cure addiction because this is directly related to our intentions and subconscious thoughts.

No gambler easily gets profits from both slots and sport gambling. The aim is mainly for fun purposes. Ready to take up any result that appears on the screen. Slot is quite fun and should be enjoyed sparingly, as it gets to a point where the fun takes up all our funds, leaving us sad. Hence a gambler needs to understand the act of management. Controlling his thoughts and money as well. Chasing over the funds or financial benefits of gambling can lead a gambler to chronic mental darkness. Which will cover his views of the future and the strategy he planned on while gambling. The goal is to stay safe and responsible, not making money without some bearing of mind on ways to control the funds, or a method to spend it. There is no use of making huge money that wouldn't grow or help in advancing the financial economy of the gambler in future.

Again we are discussing the thing we have discussed many times here. Gambling is about having fun and entertainment, this is not about earning money. I will try to make a comparison. Consider gambling is football. Many play football for fun, and only few do it professionally and earn millions. Among those who play football for fun, there are who try to do it on a professional or close to it level. These are those who are lucky to win in gambling. Also there are those who play football, spend money on uniform, boots, rent frields, have personal training - spend a lot. They never get on a top level, but the amount of money they spend on football is astronomical. These are people who gamble and lose a lot. Mostly play football for fun, only because they like that sport. These are people who gamble for fun.

You are dancing on fire if you see gambling as a means to your financial problem, you are only waiting to get burnt, trust me, it will happen.

The fact is you can't beat a casino, if you are going to ever get lucky, believe that casinos always win and play safe first, use what you can afford to lose, if you have a financial goal start learning a reliable skill online or offline.

Start looking forward to invest part of your money in crypto assets or just Bitcoin, this will change your life for better than relying on gambling, engage in gambling only with your spare money.

Situation may vary depends on your target on that particular day since there are times we are trying to be competitive since winning some amount is satisfying that's why we aim to get those big wins.

But also there are times that we are just want to have fun since we are waiting for something and fine something to do sand we don't want to get bored that's why we gamble just to have fun. For sure there are some people doing this and usually they don't bet large amount since they know that they could provably lose their bets its because they are not serious playing or maybe they are not in comfortable environment and just play because of boredom reasons.

Not everyone has the same objective in opi gambling, every gambler has different objectives in gambling. Some people gamble to make money while others gamble for fun and enjoyment. But in my opinion it is better not to gamble to earn money. This is because the number of losses is high in gambling where the tendency to lose is more than to earn. As a result, some people are more vulnerable to top up their finances from gambling. Gambling for financial gain can never be fun. Gambling to make money is more likely to lead to gambling addiction. So in my opinion it is better to gamble for fun than to gamble for money.

Both are very important to me, I enjoy gambling for fun but also hope that luck will come my way because as a gambler of course I also want to make a profit but that doesn't mean I don't accept it if I lose because I also enjoy gambling. For gamblers, they definitely want additional income to be able to supplement their financial needs, but gambling is just a game so we shouldn't expect to make a profit, but there's nothing wrong with occasionally winning and making a profit and the most important thing is that we think we can have fun in it gamble.

Playing gambling should be fun for a while in your free time. But in reality, gambling has become like an activity that they have to do. They want to win the gambling games they often play, making them play them more often. After playing the game for some time, they want to win.

But they don't realize that they won't win easily when playing gambling. They will find it easier to lose than to win. But they continue gambling because they still have the urge to win the gambling game. That is why gambling is just for fun and not to achieve financial goals for everyone who plays it.

And we can only use gambling as entertainment. If they still want to try to win, they should first think long and hard about the risks. That's so they realize that they will only spend more money. Even that doesn't guarantee they can get the victory they want. They should use gambling for fun and enjoyment and look for income elsewhere.

And don't ever be the second one because you're not going to love the feeling that it entails when you're in that category because that means that you're desperate and you've got no way other than gambling to make more money for yourself. Also, the second kind are the ones that shouldn't even be gambling in the first place because they need all the money that they can get their hands on to survive or maybe even save up so they can have some fighting chance in life and to change the state that they're living for the better, gambling your money away when you could've use that money to save for a car or a new phone or even better an investment. Don't pretend to be the first type of people if you know yourself to be the second type, it's going to bite you back big time.

In fact, I would say that those who say that gambling is for fun are at least false because no one ever gambles with their hard earned money for fun, there is a hope of earning something. As I always say I take gambling as entertainment I never gamble outside of entertainment but always know in the back of my mind that I am not using my hard earned money for fun. But this is also true though I use it for earning but I never make this gambling addiction I know gambling addiction is very serious but now I can stop gambling anytime and start again. But we can stop and start gambling whenever we want and also make this gambling our addiction which is why we call gambling for entertainment.

There are two types of people who gambles. One does gambling for recreation and one does gambling in order to earn some extra money in hand. The first type of people are usually rich. For them money doesn’t matter at all. They just gamble for fun. On the other hand, needy people gambles by measuring all the risks. Now if you ask me, then I am an occasional gambler. I gamble when I am in need of money and that too I bet only in sports games to maximise my winnings.

But I believe that from the 90% percentage of gamblers in our environment, there are also quite lot who gamble as means of having fun, even though in reality, if we calculate it based on the percentage of ambition to make money, it could be much greater.
Gambling is place where someone can spend money quickly without any return and the average gambler always thinks that gambling can bring financial benefits and help with source of income.
This is wrong mindset and of course if it is set in the long term then very significant negative impacts can be felt in shorter period of time, it would be shame if something like this really affected more gamblers out there.

I also live in community where quite lot of people enjoy gambling, although most of them gamble with their own passions such as physical card games, online gambling and are also lottery fans, but there are still many who can use gambling just as place to have fun like.
Almost all gamblers who have the wrong approach and mindset are those who are just growing up or around 20 years to 30 years old and we gamblers who are older and have lot of experience can already have awareness even though it is not completely complete.

The mindset and approach to gambling is the starting point that determines the direction of gamblers in the future.

Its not hypocritical everyone definitely wants to win to gain profits in gambling, but I have a different opinion and depending on the game I'm playing if I play slots I think of it as having fun I just enjoy every spin and don't really hope to win big but if by chance I getting a jackpot means that it is my luck and I immediately take it and don't try to spend it in just 1 game. But if I don't get anything when playing slots, it doesn't really matter because I have prepared my funds to have fun playing slots.

However, when I bet on sports, I really need a profit because I use skills and analyze it first before starting to bet and hope to make a profit, sometimes I win and sometimes I lose, but I can still control myself to accept all that. In sports betting, I don't always make a profit, so sometimes I also while enjoying it because the important thing is that I use money that I can afford to lose.

Now that you mentioned that, it suddenly made me think and you have a point, but for me, gambling is just like a game that I play like online games and in all my games there is always money involved. I also buy skins for everything I play and in my one game if I'm not mistaken I spent $1526 in just one game. My point is if you enjoy what you do and it doesn't affect your life too much, just keep going. I also gamble, yes it's disappointing to lose but if it's your loss you can afford to lose and it's budgeted, that's okay. That's my mind set, whether you win or lose, you go to gambling to enjoy it, not to win a lot of money. I won often in every gamble I had, but winning a lot of money is a bonus.

My main reasons for engaging in gambling for pleasure are the excitement and thrill of the action combined with the potential for winning. Although I consider gambling to be a recreational activity, I also accept losses as an essential part of the entertainment value. I may claim to be a responsible gambler because I did not gamble excessively, and I set boundaries.

However, if we gamble with the intention of making money, that is what first comes to mind when we consider gambling for financial gain. I believe that some players might see gambling as a possible source of income, and that in order for an activity to be considered successful, winning is necessary. I see gambling as a form of entertainment because I think that focusing on it as a way to get money might lead to the development of bad gambling habits, just like you stated.

When looking for money and financial freedom, there are some places you do not just knock, gambling is one of them. Although one can still make money in gambling but we should never have the mindset that we want to make money in gambling (desperation), or else, we will be betrayed, disappointed and become more desperate after slipping into a confused state. But for fun, gambling is a very good alternative, you can plan your free time fun with it, and it can also kill your boredom for you especially when movies and other hobbies have tired you. You can switch to gambling which I believe would do the job very well as you have a lot of options you can choose from from the gambling platform. In doing this, I urge the bettor to ensure that a very small amount of money is committed to it, if not, money would have been wasted unnoticed especially if the gambler loses too much than he wins.

At times too, you might just have that neutral mindset about gambling and nevertheless still lucky to win big. Just know that it's your luck, and that is the mindset I love to play and win my gambling on the casinos with. Anything outside this can put the gamblers in trouble as this is a risky activity with no means to guarantee your winnings but can make sure that you have more losses if you can't plan and control yourself while dealing with it.

Saying it should be for fun doesn't mean it shouldn't have financial incentives. If gambling wouldn't have any decent financial incentives, it most likely would not be popular at all.

People like me, who say it should be for fun, mean that when the fun is taken out of it, and gamblers do it merely for financial gains, similar to work. And because of that it's harder to accept losses. They see it as working for money and somehow reality owes them a salary for it at some point. If they don't get it, they star to blame casinos that they must be rigged. These people can be playing other people's money, or lending money for gambling. It's not fun anymore, but compulsive, and only way up.

We should be able to be happy about winning big, as we should be ready to accept the loss. That can be only achieved if we keep gambling as fun past time, instead of work.

The contents of this title are contradictory, but the essence and elements remain the same, IMO. Basically, we all bet with money and for money. however, in reality gambling is not just money which is always the main part. in gambling, we are presented with the features provided by the Casino platform. you only choose what you like, are happy with, you can even explore according to the mood you feel when you want to gamble. in it, there is entertainment that can make you have fun with it. But never forget, that there is a portion of risk that you are ready to accept. either you lose, or you are lucky with your win. as for the points you have bolded, in essence it all depends on your choice. also, how do you define gambling itself. in essence, it is your mind that plays and conceptualizes it. so, you create your own choice of how gambling is for you. what is certain is that everyone has their own perspective on gambling. the question you ask, should be your question too.

For me personally, as fun. however, that doesn't mean I don't like money and want to get it. that's why, gamble in areas that you really understand, especially if you like them. that way, you won't overthink. I mean if you want to achieve financially, all you do is create jobs, do business and so on. because it is more promising. but if you want to have fun, for example I like football. I got it, from the impressions presented. and not only that, I get pleasure from doing research and analysis. For me, this is an art in gambling, if my prediction is correct it is a sign that I am getting a bonus from something fun. If otherwise, what can you do, that's the risk, it's as simple as that. my question is, why do we often complicate it.
