those who run the business are making business, those who are playing are doing it most of because 2 incentives:
- fun/entertainment
- money

on the second point: money
it could also be for to reason:
- their conscientious desire to (try to) make more money
- their unconscientious desire to burn money

In short, those who run the casinos are getting money from people who spend money just to have fun.
That's the usual scenario as majority of the gamblers are just having fun, others maybe serious but majority of these serious people are still losing money.

Most of the people states that gambling is form of entertainment but the reality is different gambling is like business where people look to make more money from investing little money but most of them will get failed.

So in your view gambling is business or entertainment,answer honestly. Cheesy

Gambling should be treated as an entertainment, even if you are good in winning you should still treat it as a way to entertain people, there's no way you can continuously win in gambling, there are people who are lucky in gambling that is why they win big amount but it will not happen all the time, so moderate yourself even if you are winning a lot.

yeah and besides the very thing that we enjoy the game that is enough to call as winner right?
we have been paying for places to make us entertained without expecting any amount in return but why in gambling people are always looking for big wins?
this is not the right attitude to deal with.
Entertain your self when there are stress or boredom but not to treat this as Profit provider.

When we can use gambling as entertainment, we don't need to worry if we will lose control because everything that we got, in the end, will be just to entertain and have fun. We don't think about the result because we don't search for that, and we only want to spend our time playing many gambling games. Maybe by thinking like that, we can prevent becoming addicting to gambling, and we can avoid consuming more money because if we think that it is enough to get entertainment, we will stop as soon as possible.

But if you think you think like that, it might be the start of it.

Most of the gamblers that are addicted to gambling might've just started thinking like that. They are just thinking that gambling is just entertainment and they are thinking they can control themselves. Then as time goes, it became a habit and as time continues they are not aware they are already addicted to it and can't actually get out of that "entertainment".

Maybe that is right because they can be addicted, but they don't realize that. All they think is just playing gambling without learning about controlling themselves. That will not happen if they can control themselves and they will always remember that using gambling for entertainment. Maybe the first thing that they need to do is limiting their time in gambling and do other things that will make them not think about gambling.

Don't be drifted from the fact that, these gamblers at first take their gambling acts as entertainment process but later changed to something else, we have seen when gambling addicts confessed about their initial involvement into the gambling industry just to seek for entertainment but changed to be winning driving gamblers which eventually ended them up in coax. Greediness is the root of most gamblers failure.

If we all treated gambling as entertainment I think casinos would cease to exist.Casinos rely only on the greediness of all the gamblers to make money and don’t be fooled by those statements that we see on Tv ads like gamble responsible etc.They are just to be conform the law in different countries.

It is very difficult to be a gambler who only plays for entertainment.I myself have suffered until lately from slot addiction but now the last times I have played a maximum of 5-10 Eur and stopped if I didn’t win anything.So I think I am pulling out of addiction slowly.

We can treat casino and gambling on a different way if we want to think that it is entertainment then we can, if we want to think that is is a way of earnings then we can. It also depends on how we use it. If we are getting addicted then it is considered as entertainment because everyone may get addicted on a thing that is entertaining him. If he only wants to earn, there's no reason for him to get addicted because he will surely be having a schedule because if he manage to gamble every time, he won't earn so much and might lose a lot.

When we consider gambling as entertainment and leisure time, we eventually don't face any harmful gambling effects such as losing money, having huge debts, relationship conflicts, reduced productivity, and social life because we do not aim to doubling or tripling our profit even we wage our money in gambling. I also think it is normal for our first experience in gambling to experience greed and aim to win a good profit in gambling, but we should not stick in that way because, as I said earlier, we will experience these consequences.

If we don't play like entertainment then we play like addict and we lose always. That will be the result of being addict, loses. Anyway, there are category of people who play, we must have addict, those that play steady whether losing or not, they play always.

As I thought, many members of this forum think that gambling is entertainment, as proven by the poll results that show this.
I also think that gambling should be used as entertainment, it is for our own good. Playing gambling has a very high risk,
we can lose a lot of money if we play gambling in the long run. I suggest not playing gambling as a source of income,
because based on the articles I read on the internet. Very few people have managed to get big profits from gambling,
most people become addicted and their lives fall apart if they can't limit themselves when they play gambling.

I doubt it. gambling as entertainment still has a profit in it. also, I am pretty sure that even if we all treat gambling as entertainment, greediness will still be there.

They would still exist because they will always be in profitable situation, no matter what.
If we treat gambling as an entertainment, nothing will change, we are still gambling using our money but it's leaving a burden on our part as we are having fun.

Actually, it is true that a certain bad habit can lead to addiction especially we are not aware to our current psychology, an entertainment can lead to addiction if we are spending most of time of it and doesn't have care anymore in some of our habits. But the good thing is we can control it as long as we have awareness to our current psychology. If we feel that we are now becoming addicted to gambling, that is the time that we should make a move and for me rest is one of the keys for us to not be addicted wherein we will create discipline in order to control out greed. I'm really amazed for those people who manage to entertain their selves through gambling while controlling their greed where they stay normal and not feeling addicted to what it is.

It will depend on the perspective of the gambler, for me; there will be 2 perspectives which are treating gambling as source of income and the othed is treating it as entertainment or fun only. For sure that there are people who loves to spend in gambling because they are obsessed to the fun and excitement that they are getting from it and there some gamblers who are just want to double their money or to make profit by betting or by playing some gambling games. I'm a type of gambler who do both where I treat is as one of my sources of income while I'm having fun.

I have a stressful life and gambling is one of my way to cough up that stress and for me to regain my positive mindset. I always considering the risks and for me it is the reason why I'm not getting angry when I oose because I just following my plan and I understand that there are situation that I do not have any control.

Gambling is what you want it to be. If you see it as an investment and you are successful at it then you have every right to see it this way. If you are bad then you are a bad investor and you should consider switching to something else. If it is only entertainment for you then you probably don't care so much about winning and losing and any profit you make is just a nice bonus.

Gambling is an entertainment and it should be treated that way, you can play comfortable and without pressure if you treat gambling as stress reliever from your work, you allocate funds for betting, and if you win that means additional funds for your gambling activities next time, do not expect to make money or think that you recover your losses, you will end up losing more if you think that way,

Yes, if you think of gambling as just entertainment then you have to be consistent and not play constantly and there are limits to be made.
play when you need entertainment or to fill your spare time, limit the stakes and use extra cash, play casually and enjoy the game to entertain yourself.
and even though gambling is only for entertainment, it still requires sufficient knowledge and mastery of gambling that is played and continues to be played in a disciplined manner so that luck can be obtained.

This is the scary type of person that gambles. If you see gambling as a business and if you are a gambler yourself, you are getting involved with a business that is literally mathematically against you profiting. I am not saying it is impossible to profit, you could make some short term gain while gambling, but a business should be as forever as it gets, obviously we all die so sooner or later we won't be working, but I can tell you that if you want long term business, gambling is not the solution.

This means we are talking about entertainment only, if you see it as entertainment you can definitely have fun, I think it is more fun than many other activities I do, but I do not see it as business, I see it as spending money on something to have fun.

Honestly for me I look at it in two different things but it depends on my needs if I have some money or extra fund I look at it as an entertainment but if I needed money or needed some fund I look at it as a source of income which is very risky.
