I do not know for whom it can be fun to lose money... For me it can be a nervous laugh when my bet does not win! Cheesy

Maybe he meant that for him the fun is to bet on his favorite team and watch the match despite the fact that it can lose?

Only wins can make you feel good if you gamble online. But it will be different from those who go to a physical casino because the atmosphere is much different. Hang out with friends, laugh and that's the reason why sometimes gambling at a physical casino is so much more fun. However, you can still have fun with sports betting, but only if you watch it with friend. Right, mate ?

Winning definitely feels good, but we shouldn't try to be so heavily invested in our gambling. Only if winning doesn't really affect us anymore we can say that losing is not going to affect us either. In the end this would just be a dream state if mind, for me I am still invested in my bets. And if I lose I need to take a break to clear my mind again.

Does less focus mean less opportunity to win? No, this is gambling we are talking about, focus or not, skilled or not you can still lose.

If that's the reality, then why would we still chase to improve our skills? have you read some stories about gamblers getting big money from poker tournament or sports bettor who made a living on it?

Yeah, heard a lot of them, to be honest.

But you just follow their story where they are still winning, did you even know how much money they burnt on gambling? It is true that they are professionals, they won a lot of tournaments but are we all professionals? Are we all like them? You are emphasizing these people while if we will be talking reality that you wanted to that is just a small percentage of gamblers and the small percentage that actually win. I'd say, they are in that 5-11% of gamblers while the other is the ones who loses money from a small amount to huge amounts.

Gambling looks like an entertainment because it is usually attached to a sport or game, but since it involves losing or gaining, it is no more entertaining to the losing side, it is more of a business in such way become only few and quite rich gambler just do it for the fun of it, as in to arouse the opponents seriousness to the game. Most people generally, gamble to make gain.

it is true while you we're watching sports and the same time you bet on the side you want to win and it becomes entertainment also if you are playing with multiple player than playing solo we it's kinda boring and yet of course if you keep losing emotion will come and the more eagerness to play more because we all want to get back what we already lose. But if it okay to us to win the it is really fun to lose money as long as it make us happy.

Fun to lose money? Are you kidding ? It can be fun if you have a lot of money and you have no interest in money. If you see gambling as really fun, then you do gamble within certain rules. There will be a certain amount of money for your gambling, even if you lose, you will not gamble more than that certain amount. And if you continue to gamble even after you lose and gamble more to recover that money, and lose more money again. that's not fun, you're in the first stages of gambling addiction.

It's just crazy to think that we are having fun when we are losing money in gambling, the fun there is when we are winning and even if we are so rich, we still look for some satisfaction in gambling, and that only happens when we are winning. The only difference is that if we are rich, we can gamble money that we can afford to lose, while people who struggle financially may not enjoy when they gamble as they can't afford to lose what they are gambling.

I don't know about professional gamblers who are sponsored and got a salary from gambling.
I think they are athletes, not gamblers. people behind them who paid for them to play are the real gamblers I think.

Both of them are gamblers for me in a way, there is no difference to the one playing and the one who is paying.
I know few people who works like this, and we can consider youtubers too. Like prodigy and many more gambling content creator out there, they are sponsored to bet to a specific website and they get to keep a certain percentage of the total winnings.

Here is the thing, there are two things we can think of it as a business. You can think of business as the owner of the gambling site or as a player. This is not really my strategy but this is what I hear and been shared to me by those who treat gambling as a business (and yes, they are gamblers). Of course if you are the owner of the gambling joint then you are only into profits. What can put money to the table and what can make the business prosper. For the gambler, it is managing the losses and the winnings so that you will not be in the losing money side of things. You treat you gambling not as entertainment but as a money making tool, and that changes your gameplay.

For the casino owner his business can be perceived as a game, too. As a casino management game. He plays every day how to make his casino visited by more people so that they leave satisfied with the desire to come again. To make the staff honest and friendly. So that there are no problems with the law. And so on.
That's why the casino game is an entertainment not only for the players, but also for their owners and management.

but some people don't count on the financial possibilities and bet all money they have.

This kind of gambler really has no control and careless of their activity in gambling. He can have the possibility to get addicted to gambling if he always does that way. And someday, he may realize that he has no money anymore after spending all his money on gambling games. We cannot do that!! To enjoy or have fun in gambling, we should limit the funds/money to play. Also, we don't chase our lose in playing the games because the main purpose is to have fun, not to get a lot of money. Even still has a purpose to get money, but doesn't make it the priority.

Meaning of gambling varies from person to person, one may take gambling as an entertainment some take it as a business and something to make money with. It just really matters on the person we don't see gambling in just one straight way.

-snip-

They are gambling because they are getting paid and they are good at it. Some professional gamblers are sponsored and has salary just to play. Just like casino gunners. Yes it is possible to make gambling as a business but it is risky, you cannot win every time you go and play.

IMO, when you put your expectations too high, then you are not taking it as entertainment.
when you can bet and forget, then you are taking it as entertainment.

Well, yeah it is possible actually and I think it is happening. Why hire someone to gamble instead the owner? Well, lets just say that the owner wanted to gamble but had heptic schedule to play so he let anyone to play instead as a proxy in his side. Other than that the owner does not want to get carried away emotionally when betting. Losing for them is not a big thing because they hire someone to play for them and that they know that losing is always a possibilty to happen.

It depends on the aspect you look from. I think gambling is an entertainment. In my opinion, the reason is its being exciting. Especially sports betting is very exciting and I sometimes like to bet on football matches and see whether I will win or not.

This is my stand too. It depends on the player how he manages to play. What motivates to gamble, me personally it's just for entertaining and to kill time. But for others, it's the pot money or reward that motivates them. It's for entertainment because you enjoy what you are doing whether you lose or not. Winning is just a bonus as I said before.

If your motivation is to gain more, I think you will end up losing all if you cant manage to control your emotion.

There are many people who are capable of earning extra money with gambling. And even some professional gambler consider gambling as their primary job. Motivation is not the only key lead you to success. Gambling contains many diferent factors such as controling emotion and money management. If you have motivation but you arent willing to learn more and change your perception, losing money is indeed the only result

Gamblers would lose out always, no matter what. Manage all you want, but as long as you keep on gambling, you will lose. The only victory in gambling is when you actually quit doing it. And as for the business owner, it isn't really on a casino owner, it applies to anywhere. Users only use something because it's entertaining, or it's useful. That's why everything keeps improving so that customers can stay.

He is gambling to make additional money, the reason is very easy to say but in reality it's the hardest thing to do.
If every gambler would gambler to make an additional money then people should not be using money, I guess we are gambling to give additional expenses.

Aren't we? haha

The premise of using gambling to make additional money is already wrong tbh. Gambling is in a sense, something like online games, you play it to enjoy, not to earn money. Sure, if you're a pro, there's an earning aspect but honestly, pros earn because they have sponsorships and whatnot, but as an average joe gambling? It isn't really that suitable.

If someone is owner of a site, they still have to work on various other factors like retaining the players, giving them rake backs and bonuses so they will continue to play, giving them good help/support when they have questions and to keep them entertained! That takes lots of work as well, although there's huge profit to make as a owner of a reputed casino!

I do gamble to make additional money. I can't find myself gambling to entertain someone else. My only business is to make more money that's why I gambling.
If I am winning or losing it all goes to me to deal with and to another person

When you say your business, that means you have your own gambling business, is it Traditional land based gambling or
online gambling on which of these two anyway? But if you are just playing in the gambling site platform you are definitely gambling dependent
then if you get profit in daily with it, that means you a one of the expert gambling individuals, in which of the statement of mine is right?

Most probably he's one of those experienced gambler who manage to get good
benefits from this business, there are only few people who can manage to go
out with good compensations as most are losers due to different kinds of reasons.
Taking this activity as serious as it is may give you some chances to learn the right
strategy then combine it with good control and you'll have it, the chance of taking
advantage winning around.
