It should just be a way to pass time, a way to have fun without interest in winning a lot of money.

If you are serious with gambling, you'll never think of that as your pass time, less focus means less opportunity to win.

Haven't your tried to convince yourself to be serious in gambling?

Why would I want that?

I could just end up addicted. why would I convince myself of something that might be the downfall of myself? That is just absurd, right? Gambling can bring you a lot of money but that also means that you could lose a lot of money.

We have different principle as a gambler, I respect yours, I was just suggesting, I understand your opinion here.

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.

That's wrong, so you are saying that everyone is a loser? I don't think you know what you are talking here mate.
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?

Gambling has different angles, for the person who runs the company, its a business, for the people who have lots of money they spend time here to relax, for the people who work there for example a casino its a job, and for some, its a source of income, these are the pro players, if you are asking me if I need money I look at it as business or a job, but then again it depends on your status

I think the question is posed from a gambler's point of view. It is not asked from the point of view of a casino owner or worker. What is gambling for someone who is just a dealer in a casino and who doesn't gamble himself? It is nothing.

Anyway, for me gambling is entertainment but not purely that. Gambling is also trying to make money but with the thought that it will 90% end up losing. But you cannot erase the goal of making money.

Opinion base arguments, for sure there are lots of differences between every people who take this activities. Its a self explanatory answered and based from own experiences, we will all agree that the purpose of gambling is the chance to win and grow your money even those who are just having fun and enjoying deep in their minds they also wants to win it's adding additional excitement.

It's just an alibis though for those who already addicted to this activities, as they are no longer looking for entertainment, they're already engage and always taking the chances thinking that they can win more or if they are in the losing sides they are trying to recover aggressively .

The moment you start gambling with only the prize money in your mind, you will begin to get frustrated. That happens because gambling is really not the best way to earn. It is the worst way to earn. So if you enter a casino with the goal of making money, you are most likely coming out of that same casino with a heavy heart and head but with a lighter pocket than when you got in. That is because the casino took all your money. So you might as well have the most fun while your money is earned by the casino.

Quote from: Bitcoin Smith on April 17, 2019, 04:37:28 PM

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

All entertainment is business of some people, take note of that. In our perspective, the consumer of this entertainment, we are being entertained by the product or things they're offering to us. But from the perspective of the owner, it's a business where he creates a huge amount of money because of entertainment. Gambling should be always entertainment, that's the mindset we should apply to ourselves to avoid losing a lot of money and don't get addicted to it.

91 people voted in this thread that gambling is just for entertainment, it's really hard to find it entertaining, when you're using real money and you lose, you're definitely going to get frustrated, the only way it could be entertaining is when you're using something like a demo account.

When you buy a delicious meal or a movie ticket, you also lose money. But it is obvious that in each case you get something in return. In the case of gambling, these are emotions plus some kind of hope that you will become very rich. People are willing to pay money for it.

I prefer sports betting too as it lessen your chance of losing and increase your probability of winning.

Those are nice words to read, I hope everyone had experience that as a gambler, unfortunately, still most of us are losing in sports betting, any kind of game and in fact sports betting is the most profitable betting in the gambling world.

We can be a professional sports bettor if we have the skills, that is the condition as that would give us a good chance of winning as a gambler, other people who doesn't have the skills will just enjoy, win some, loss some but in the long run they'll still lose money.

Gambling is an entertainment for many it could a profession to the pro’s (skillbased). Personally I don’t gamble a lot in online Casinos because I experience the feeling of losing big amount. Its hard if you attach Casino in your life even if you are financially stable you probably might get a serious problem financially that you might not notice.

The chance on winning on casino is lower unlike on sports betting on where you can determine the outcome based on the team that will be playing although the odds are different from time to time. Honestly I would prefer sports betting rather than casino but in casino you can earn and lose in a matter of seconds.

That is because sports betting is one of what we call skill based gambling. Casino games might be usually based on luck like roulettes that can make you lose in a second but it could happen in both ways, also there are some card games in there are also skill based like poker and blackjack although I agree to that; I prefer sports betting too as it lessen your chance of losing and increase your probability of winning.

I don't understand why they always keep on saying that. Wherein their main goal before they even start gambling, deep inside them what they want is to win or to make money. It is just gamblers might be convincing themselves that they gamble only for entertainment once they lose in their gambling.

That means most of them are only playing for fun, while those who voted for no, including me is here to enjoy and at the same time trying to win money from gambling sites. My principle is very simple, winning is fun, while losing is not, therefore it should not be an entertainment but an investment as you aim to grow your money, if you think it as an entertainment, you are just enjoying it and moving on as you lose.

I like your comment that winning always fun, and while losing is not. It's a fact that sometimes people don't realize.
I do think of gambling as entertainment. But if I'm continue to experience defeat becomes really unpleasant, so even
though we use money that we can afford to lose to play gambling, we will still feel annoyed if we lose that money.

That's the reality, therefore we also have to ensure that we are doing all the kind of research to win the game, and these games are those skills can be applied, not the luck based type of game, as for me, you can still win in luck based but the name itself, it simply reply on luck, no research needed to improve your skills.

, be calming it down mate, there are thousands gamblers on this industry that actually went into this gambling with their sole aim of making fun or for just entertainments purpose indeed. Don't be worried towards where they place their personal vote on the thread, gambling is like an investment in your speech, but as investment be guided with your movement per-time, so, there is nothing new or wrong for any gambler to think towards winnings while gambling, it's our natural nature.

I guess what he's trying to say is that you don't know what it feels like, how hard it is for those people that are so serious about gambling just stop that idea or habit and just go it as entertainment or just to pass the time. It is true that it is hard and you can't just stop whenever you wanted to that is why these people need help.

I agree with the statement that those people usually playing are in urgent need of help.
Briefly, anyone think that he can do gambling as a kind of fun/entertainment but by time goes it becomes a behavioral addiction that can't be stopped like it were started. In psychology, there is a dedicated field of this kind of addiction and treated as a psychological desease .

actually "it must be for entertainment" but the problem is people tend to use this as scape gat from reality of life.
they treat this as place where they can become rich in short time while the truth is they only gather losses.

if one gambler will only gather their gambling money?you won't believe how much are those after 1 year while in trying to win all of those money goes to the bags of gambling operators lol.

Yes, gambling is for entertainment and not for making money because that will be a problem for people trying to make money from gambling. We know that many people are losing their money from gambling. Even if they are trying hard to win the games, they still lose at the end of the games.

If they can think about how much money they lose in 1 year, that can make them feel shocked because that money will be big money that can make them regret losing at just a gambling table. If they can use gambling for entertainment, they will think twice to spend much money on gambling because they will limit their money to playing gambling.

We can also say that most of these people, that voted yes are in that idea that they are gambling for fun but we might not kniw if they really are since it might be their way of thinking that they are having fun or it is just an entertainment but for the other people, these people are already addicted.
