Topic: Gambling is an entertainment? (Read 14473 times)

Yeah, it is what you think but others may have other opinions. Others think gambling isn't a really serious game because it cannot make you rich. Instead, it just leads you to losses. That's why some gamblers limit their funds in gambling, they just enjoy the games and suddenly stop to play once their funds are over. To have entertainment doesn't mean you must make a joke to other players. If you enjoy the games, then you win get entertainment from the gambling games.

Well, what we should be reminded of is, there are two sides to a gambling business, the gambler and the bookmakers. To the bookmarkers, you might consider gambling to be a very serious investment or business while to the gambler, it's big time a game of luck and no one would really take a game of luck too seriously. This is what makes it an entertainment. You don't put all hopes that it must favour you or play out the way you've visualized it! No, that's not how it works.
Yes we all hope to earn something if possible but then, the loses are more frequent than the profits. Which gambler would take that for a serious business? I am sure I'm not that gambler, are you?
Don't put all hopes in the bets, which ever way it turns out, just smile!

There are gamblers just ignoring the win or lose in a game as if they are enjoying the game some of them are just seeking a fun only but looks like some of the people who are like this are the one who is winning the game.

1. In winning they don't express too much sign that they have a good card on the part of their opponents some of the giggles and different kind of reaction if they think they are now winning the game.

2. In losing you can see a gambler who is having trouble and getting stress or depress on the situation you can see their reaction when they make unnecessary movements.

This is just my speculation but still, it's better if you will keep your self-confidence and try to focus on the game.

Gambling should be treat as a serious matter especially when a gambler place a bet on it. It is a money matter involve and we are here in gambling discussion to discuss that gambling isn't easy as we expect it is. It could entertain the player, can make a stress go for a while but it isn't a sole entertainment if you have put your money here. But to be honest either you take it for seriously or just gamble to have fun the mere fact that it is risky and have money involve everyone should be watchful on their own actions in gambling.

What are you talking about?, gambling is not an entertainment because people don't make jokes while gambling?, something can be considered as an entertainment without being funny...

Regardless of what is your definition of entertainment, as a gambler as long as you can not make a stable amount of money which you can count on, it would be considered as entertainment and not a job, a business or even a side job/income, gambling is only a business for the casino owners because they did their calculations on the expenses and incomes and they make their money whether you lose or win.

Gambling should be viewed like entertainment and it is like for most people when they first start to gamble.
But the thing is that gambling is also highly addictive and if you don't enough self control it can suck you in.
So as long as you have under control and never bet more then you could lose and have fun in the process it is fine.

You should know those negative, it's not good for you, before we gamble, we should also know the risk, the worst scenario that could happen to us if we got careless and allow our emotion to come into play, usually we get addicted if we are weak.

Winning does not favor on us most of the time, it's the what gambling sites have because they have the advantage, so we should know that, and if we are gambling for entertainment, we don't really expect to win all the time but we should be discipline all the time to still gamble based on what we can afford to lose.

I'd saw people being desperate and wanted to make money, he uses to gamble thinking that he can double his money but unfortunately, he is so unlucky and can't even think about what he does after.

That's the story, I know that some people are doing the same but we need to remind them that if we having that kind of attitude, there is no way we can make money here and enjoy ourselves. I come into gambling not so often, not really good at gambling but somewhat I know myself how to control my emotions and stick to the limit.

As long as you only experience fun and excitement it can consider as an entertainment but if the gambling has a negative effect to you like stress, addiction and the likes I don't think this kind of entertainment is still healthy for you.

For me gambling is still an entertainment, even though it can be painful sometimes. I lost this all my previous winnings in slot and are also on a down swing in poker. It's a bit depressing to lose in a few weeks the things that took you weeks to  earn before. But so is life too, good days will come again. And if I would have spent the same time going out I spent gambling, I probably would have spent even more money. Unfortunately we can't be always winning.

When we can relieve our stress, we tend to play more in other games to forget our reason for playing gambling. Instead, to say enough for the next rounds, we go deeper into the games, and we spend more money to try to get another winning. Sooner or later, they will become addicted, and once they are addicted to gambling, they will feel hard to solve the addiction. We should know when we need to stop before it's too late to realize, so we can still come back in the other days, and who knows, we can win a lot of money.

Not really, if gambling isn't entertainment for you, you are doing it very wrong. Gambling should always be an entertainment, a way for one to escape reality or to have distractions from the monotonous chores of day to day life. Hence, just like we pay to watch movies, gambling should be treated in the same way, you may win some or lose some for fun, but in the long run, the house edge guarantees that you lose!

Every individual has their own perceptions and for me, whatever people's views on gambling are basically nothing wrong, because with them being able to enjoy gambling in their own way, of course they have different goals. Gambling is not something that should be played by force, because when they gamble it is their own choice and for that reason I am sure that whatever their views on gambling is not something wrong.

a lot of people are in the gamble for a thrill, and the catharsis or joy you feel when you got something good back. So that in and of itself most definitely defines gambling as a form of entertainment. You got in for a good time, and you feel good when things work in your favor. This is just flawed.just because you didn't feel good about what happened doesn't mean it's not entertainment for the whole majority anymore. When you play games, you're bound to lose, and doesn't that feel bad too? Well using your logic then that should mean it's not entertainment anymore. And people train to be better in these games, so that must mean it's not entertainment anymore coz it's supposed to be a "serious business"

You're actually right. If you are enjoying something with your free time, that can be called entertainment but if you will be treating it as another form of financial support, then it will become your job or even your personal business. Gamblers really take their time before they can be called gamblers since it would become their job to became a gambler.

 No, gambling is not an entertainment, the way people think it is to gambler. Gambling is a business which many gambler like to earn something good from their gambling in the gambling center. Is not an entertainment where people joke with other people to make them laugh in the occasion just to make them happy in the invent.
Gambling is a serious business we run with experience for you to earn something good from the one you have gamble in the gambling center.

As long as you can control your emotion it will give you entertainment. I have also experienced it like you. Sports betting is always charming, but when the match become tight at the end, all the enjoyment turns into fear. As I said before, gambler get the real fun when they win. Unless it gives stress for a while.

Very common to most gamblers, you might need to increase your control as it can lead you to a much deeper addictions,
even if you say that you are capable now to limit youraelf.

Time may come that you'll going to commit much bigger mistaketo the point that you'll lose your entire savings and ends
you up with more problem not just regrets but it can turned to depressions,.

Gambling was supposed to be entertainment, a fun game that could relieve one person's stress. But
once the gamer  had just so much fun in gambling he/she may have the tendency of becoming addicted in gambling which is supposed to be an entertainment. And i believe that one person shouldn't play gambling or even try to place a bets once she/he were sad, stress or lonely for it may lead to some failure and worst would make you so much engaged on it.
