Depending on each gambler but if we would say that it is for entertainment then it is one of the highest price on entertainment.
We could say that it is a rich persons entertainment since they wouldn't worry about money and only enjoys it,
But what about other people? I don't think that it is just for entertainment for them.

It can also be a form of entertainment to other people but only to those who have self control and discipline. We know that gambling is addicting once you experience how to win. You will be more interested to try your luck again because of the thought that its an easy way to make money. Unfortunately its not true, it can be a reason for gambler to be in debt and experience depression due to losses.

Of course, gambling is an entertainment. Only because of the psychological disorders that are observed in some people gambling can turn into a strong dependence, which can eventually lead to very unfortunate consequences. If you notice that one of your relatives becomes dependent on gambling, it is better to consult with health professionals.

Maybe because when you gamble you are getting fun and excitement through betting. But to few gambling is not only entertainment but also a business to get profit or living for those who are working in a gambling casino. I know few of those who get gambling as their means of living like those personnel and staff working in gambling casino or even the able services that are always keeping the floor clean. They always shared their story that they are only getting or receiving little salary but they keep up because other gamblers are generous to them giving them always a tip especially when they win.

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

Well, it depends on your situation. I mean if you were the owner then yeah it is technically a business but if you were the player then it is entertainment.

I'll choose to answer this sentence because I can relate it, with our busy days in work it usually gives us stress but because there is gambling that could give us entertainment, we can play on it. Although I enjoy gambling but I am also serious on it, serious in making some strategy to win despite that fact that with my long years of gambling, I haven't find a working formula yet.

If you can manage yourself upon playing and you only play the money you can afford to lose then yeah I can say it gives entertainment. On the other hand, if you are here to gamble just to make money out from it and having no control over yourself then that would be a problem, it will only add to your stress or worse this could be the reason for your stress. And regards with to strategies, I don't think that it would work because gambling is all about luck.

Gambling are of different types. Throwing those rings around the toys and items on the fair were a good way to entertain as a kid. The same fair used to contain roulette style rings, that were preferred by adults as well the kids.
Every sports were also accompanied by some sort of gambling. Bowling with friends were gambling as well as a skill sports.
When it comes to poker and -ish card games, it's more about luck than skills. My conclusion, gambling starts with fun for most and remains as. Just a few number of people turn it into profession or addiction.

Yups, maybe this is not realized by parents so that as their children get older they are basically used to the game of gambling. in the end gambling becomes a profession or not I think it depends on lifestyle, economic demands or many other things I think there are many factors that at first are only used as entertainment until in the end or over time gambling may become a threat to its finances

yes

Gambling might be a form of entertainment to winners, a business to the owner of the casino and a wrecking avenue for the loser whichever case it maybe. Gambling is addictive and time consuming which in turn brings exciting moments to the players, it keeps the day going to make it shorter to addicts. It is more of business to me, I don't think it is an entertainment in the mainstream but the traditional gambling focuses majorly on entertainment. Whatever you derive pleasure from, you can term it "Entertainment" but most gamblers are playing for "income" so it could be defined by individual with different perspectives.

I consider a funny thing to do
I only spend money I can afford to lose, no more than that

Sometimes I won, sometimes I lost, you have to know that is an algorythm behind gambling and it`s only math

Gambling remains an entertainment only if you are playing with which you can afford to lose. If you spend more than that and you lose it too, then gambling changes from entertainment to regret.

It is what you treat it. It is an entertainment for the rich people who are willing to loose money. They enjoy the probability game. Common man might also love to gamble and spend the evenings full of challenges. I gamble when it is a football match and love to win and loose occasionally. This is a pretty good distraction like game of thrones.

People have the right to choose to gamble as a business or entertainment. For people who have much money, they will consider building a gambling website so they can make more money. But for people who don't have much money, they will consider gambling as part of the entertainment. But unfortunately, many people forgot about treating gambling as the entertainment because in the middle of the game, they want to hunt the money by using more money to win and that is not good for them. We need to remember this so we can keep our money from losing.

-snip-

some come to gamble with the intention of doubling or tripling their money but it does not always come out as they planned.

There is no fun or entertainment in gambling and the end result is a loss, someone has to make some money for the lost time unless you have something else on your mind other than gambling!

No the reason behind why some people enjoy and call gambling entertaining is purely because they do not look for making money in gambling. This behind said, you enjoy the mental challenges and love to take risks. Once willing to loose the money, you focus a lot and there could be a win in the end and not loss always. In case you are in only for monetary gains, you might get hurt by the game of probability.

I consider gambling as an entertainment because there are some point that we feel happy when playing. The excitement when you are aiming for the victory even there's a risk. That excitement entertains you to avoid seriousness in life for a little time. Therefore, gambling is part of the entertainment even though a risk is always ahead on us. When people are getting used into a game and being addicted to it, the purpose of gambling to entertain those people was done.

If you think that way then you'll find the enjoyment with this business, the industry have a lots of offers for enjoyable purpose and in some ways
it brings more exiting feelings especially when you feel you are lucky but also stress when you lose some good amounts of cash..

But basically gambling made to give us fun and entertainment, and it is. But on the other hand, if we are not playing gambling in fun or entertainment manners, then it is our fault that we are going to addicted or we are wasting our money in it that's why we have loss and loss.

Yes, I believe that gambling is something that triggers dopamine in the reward centre of our brain. You might look at it as a business or entertainment but I believe that the whole system is linked with the reward centre and winning makes us happy because it gives us the pleasure of feeling superior to others and due to aggressive human nature, we give our best in order to prove that position and defend the title of winner. This process is entertaining for those who perform better than others but the case might not be the same with the losers. However, it might be addictive in both cases.

Well the feeling of gambling is a kind of utility and you want to get your utility maximized to the point of saturation and there are two possibilities at the point of saturation. You get your return fully maximized or get a downward graph of utility. A win thus defines utility maximized and a loss results in utility minimized. But since it is a game based on probability and randomness plus strategic moves, there is always a chance for you to win.

Well actually it will always be depend on each other’s mindset. As for me, gambling is just an entertainment since am not really a constant gambler. I only gamble occasionally and with friends only or with a common friends. Although i believe that a regular gambler makes gambling a business or should i say it’s their way of earning money.

Gambling is a two face it double as entertainment and also a money making point where skillful players bet with money on games and as the play entertainment and gain by winning. Gambling is a very lucrative market and also an entertainment avenue.

Yeah, actually you can refer in this post (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.51124201) as this guy has classified gambling into playing just for fun/entertainment, relaxing, excitement and thrill for winning.

Many had thought about this same.thing that OP and others did. I could not disagree for I am also in the same corner. The good thing when one play gambling is that it could.create life meaningful by different emotions that a gambler will feel when gambling.
