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.

It's a consolation, we want to win money but when we lose our hope of winning and money we just have to console ourselves that at least we have some fun, it's a disguise and alibi to keep on playing and betting, you justify your gambling activity and your losses, I'm using this alibi I'm sure many of us do.

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.

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.

There are still many gamblers who keeps denying and still belieivng that they are just enjoying.

Where most of us for sure are doing this to increase our bankroll, you can't deny the fact that when you put your bets you are thinking of winning and it's really more enjoyable to win. Those loses are also being count and if it's too much stress are accompanied inside you, so how come that it's only for entertainment. But everything counts on each participations and gamblers opinions.

obviously gambling is not fun and entertainment already for a long time,is a business a method of earning where the best, the truly experienced ones can earn a lot and turn it into their main occupation and main financial income

Even though you are experienced and skilled, I doubt that it is not fun for them. Professional gamblers even lose a lot of money because of gambling, they are already pros, take note of that. As long as they are gambling, they can lose, professional or not and they still see it as an exciting game. They can take losses, and they are ready for that.

If you, a non-professional gambler, even think of gambling as a business, then this will never be fun at all. As a non-professional gambler, gambling can't be of any kind of a business method as you can't make it part as your source for income, cause gambling relies too much in luck, and depending on your game, experience can put you a bit of an advantage from other players.

You could only refer to this gambling as a business method, is when you're a professional poker player or any card games. But that field really requires a lot of discipline and skills, to begin with. On the other hand, if you're non pro and play games like roulette, or slots. Best of luck and best regards, if you even think of this as a business method.

Since not everyone of us just grow to a professional gambler directly, then it's wrong not to think gambling as a business. We start our journey and we improve to become a professional gambler so it's okay to have that kind of mentality from the very beginning as long as you know how to limit your bet exposure, slowly but a sure growth is what we are aiming here.

And for those unexperienced that are looking for it, gambling is also suitable doing that.

As long as you don't have any bad feeling of enjoying it, you're good to see that you're gambling for fun and entertainment.

If you will only allot your extra money for gambling, then, you will really enjoy the games. But if you are playing from a loan, then guess what? Don't think you are playing for fun here but hoping that you will get your money back + winnings. And that I think, is not in any way playing for entertainment but for the hope that you will earn money from gambling. And that will put you in trouble, as winning in gambling is very low.

Can you say how much experience really needed in gambling field to earn a lot as you are suggesting. People have gambling as their main activities but it doesn't make it as their main income, they might have other sources of passive income so they keep playing and nit worrying about the money need for survival.

Not true at all even if you are a veteran gambler you can still find fun and excitement in gambling especially on the sports betting since if you place a bet and of course you will watch the match it would give you entertainment and fun maybe it's just a matter of perspective.

Everyone has the right to determine what is the goal of gambling, our goal can be the same and it could be different but I can say that most of us gamble for the sake of winning a little money. We can still deny that the purpose of gambling is for fun, but the truth is that winning some money is the end goal of fun.

But I never thought gambling was the best place to make money consistently because it probably won't be. Therefore I can still accept that losing at gambling is normal and winning is part of the luck. Most gambler are out of luck in the end, but gambling will continue to exist forever even though we know what the worst effect are.

Nah, not at all. But having experience can help and make you mature to deal with losses and having financial responsibilities. When I started with gambling I used to blow up money which I urgently needed for stuffs. But then I started to pay more attention and gambled only when I really felt tempted to. Not blowing away money kept for emergencies.

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?

Of course these are the gambling games where we can improve and use our skills, like poker or sports betting.

gambling is one of the funniest way for passing time. it's absolutely entertainment and not business (unless you are a poker pro player Cheesy )
people that doesn't realize this difference are just playing in a nervous way, without enjoying the pleasure of a bets.
I am glad to see the result of the poll Smiley it means that vast majority of players have the same idea about gambling


Gambling sites here in cryptocurrency must be a habit only to any players who will enter it. They shouldn't take it as one of their vice wherein the end nothing will be left for them. Remember, when you gamble your money 95% is the average of losing rather than winning in the games whether it is casino or what.

Not just here.

It should be the same as those land-based casinos and other gambling sites, not just with online crypto gambling sites. Another thing is it shouldn't be a habit, it could still turn to addiction as it is halfway into that. It should just be a way to pass time, a way to have fun without interest in winning a lot of money.

gambling is like business where people look to make more money from investing little money but most of them will get failed.

Gambling is nothing close to investment man, Your quote is fully wrong. In "investment" you're using analysis to calculate will this investment be successful or not, and the influence of probability is significantly low. And vice versa with gambling, where house of edge and EV is always negative. The only way to invest in gambling is to open your own casino  Grin

There is other investment option which is you can invest in the house that way you can become investors and not a gamblers if you will not play .

There are just people that thinking that investment that
double yourr money is a real deal investment and since gambling also give the same opportunity to double their money they think it is the same.

Investing in a house is not really attractive for investors who doesn't have a big capital, just imagine what you will make even if you invest $1,000 usd worth of bitcoin in a casino's bankroll when the bankroll is more than 100 btc, you will only get a little slice of the pie.

Saying gambling is investment is like saying buying cars is asset. While buying gold, silver, lands can be assets because in the long term the price will only increase and not decrease but buying cars are a waste of money because with time it will only go down in price in the long run. Gambling gives fun to play just like fun to drive a car but it's an expense not a savings!
