Topic: Gambling just for fun? - page 8. (Read 4335 times)
I gamble for the adrenaline I get from it as well. I've got plenty of money to use after paying all the bills and such from my job and this forum, so gambling's a great way for me to kick back and relax after a long day or a couple long days. I'm currently in the red like most people are with gambling, but that's the price you'll be paying for this sort of entertainment. You'll pay in one way or another for any form of entertainment you enjoy, money just happens to be the payment for gambling.
so i guess the OP have the answers already. every gambler has their own reasons. but the adrenaline rush when you are playing is priceless. this is one of the major reasons why gamblers keep on playing and playing again!
but some who said that they play just for fun are really not true to themselves. of course, they want to win also at some point. but if there's little to no money involved, they are after for the fun experience of the game.

If you think so that means you haven't tasted wealth or associated yourself with those who have wealth. The money you value are worthless to some individuals due to the excessive supply of the money. The true of the matters is we have some set of individuals who gamble just for fun. They don't care If they win or lose. Using myself as an example, not that I'm wealthy as the individuals I talked about above but, my recent decision of joining the Bitcointalk premier league prediction game had no monetary motives behind it. Meaning I just joined for fun.
That's not my first time of gambling for fun sometimes I use gambling to kill the boredom, which was also one of the reason I join the gamble pool I highlighted above. No body gamble to lose although when gambling for fun you don't get affected if you loss, you won't get addicted as you don't consider it a source of income and those are the benefits of fun-gambling.

There are some people gamble and lose. if you ask them why do you gamble? They will answer you "just for fun"
They know they are loser in long term and no strategy works, but continue to gamble for fun.
How can enjoy something that you know you will lose? Is losing money really enjoyable? Isn't there any other entertainment you can enjoy?
I think these people are still hopeful of winning back previous losses or they are addicted. Gambling cannot be just for fun. There are many free games too.

The fun begin with you started to win money. Or perhaps those saying that they gamble for fun is playing money that they can afford to lose. They can sleep at night without the worry of the money they have lost in a casino. Of course there are other means to entertain someone, but gambling is very different though. It gives you some sort of rush or pump.
Question though: Do you gamble or trade?

Man seems you didn't understand one thing here, don't look gambling like a way of losing money. When you want to play assassin's creed for example, you have to buy and pay in disk, yeah? So look gambling that way too. You have to pay some money in order to play online casino games. But it fully depends on you how much you gonna pay, you can play with minimum money and get satisfied if it's really for fun, worths for some bucks. They know they are loser in long term and no strategy works, but continue to gamble for fun.

TBH I was one of those people who gamble mostly for fun the profit is just a bonus or trophy to brag.They know they are loser in long term and no strategy works, but continue to gamble for fun.

And my reason back then is because it was fun and thrilling I mean there are games that would be boring to play if there isn't money involve right.
But I got over it and stop I just found a new things to do for fun and excitement.
If you are rich enough then it would be only fun. But if you are not then it would not only fun. Because if we lose always and play continue then what about lost fund? Usually gamblers always try to recover his lost fund and that's why he play continue. But how will play a gambler if he don't have money ? For me sometimes I play and lose fund and after that avoid gambling for few days. So I can say I play just for fun. I can't continue longer when I lost because I am not rich enough and I am not ready to loss always.
We can't blame people playing gambling for fun, because some do it because of their hobbies because of gambling. Surely there is a limit to money to play gambling, not playing to lose. The goal is indeed to win, by winning certainly makes happy.

And there are people who do both: gamble for fun and gamble to gain profit.
Losing money is indeed not fun, but it's not the reason why gamblers consider gambling fun. It's the feeling of winning a certain challenge, to see what will happen next, if the outcome will favor them or not. And it's fun, right?
Well, a non-gambler won't truly understand the feeling that gambling brings to a gambler.
Your analysis about the gamblers is wrong. Most of the gamblers gamble to gain money and are not here for fun only.
I didn't say all gamblers or most of gamblers. I said some of gamblers. Maybe it's better to say " a few gamblers". That's what I have read in some posts and that is exactly what surprises me.I also said that they are addicted or play to win back their losses. So, I don't agree that some people play just for fun.

The one who gambles to Gain money has a bad issue if they lose because wins is what they expected..
The one who gambles for Fun has already allocated that money the gamble for certain occasions so even if that amount losses won’t affect their feelings because it was expected already and if they get winnings atleast it was considered as bonus or extra income,

Not all gamblers know this thing; some of them still in the mission of finding "the best strategy."Nevertheless, let's assume this particular gambler know that no strategy works in the long run and continue to gamble.

Let's say after 10,000 rolls, the probability of winning and losing would be equal, there is a chance that you will get lucky in the first 100 rolls (let's say 70% win rate), and get extremely lucky in the first five rolls (100% win rate).My point is, we don't know for sure if we will win or lose at one particular time (discrete).

People mentioned above are sick and need help actually. Gambling responsibly!

Let me focus on the science part of gambling here!
Have you ever done Sky diving?? If yes, then you must already know that you have to sign a bond with the sky diving company which states, if anything happens to you during the entire period of sky diving, the company is not responsible for that. Even though the actual number of deaths are quite less, but still sky diving is very risky adventure game where anything and everything can happen within a blink of an eye! Still millions of people enjoy this risky adventure every year and the number is increasing steadily! Now the question is why many people still show interest in sky diving even after knowing the risk? Different people will give your different reasons but above all, it's pure Adrenalin rush!
Gambling activities cause similar kind of effects on human brain. If you wish to read the scientific reference of it, please see below link,

So human mind looking for releasing stress and enjoying Adrenalin rush, does not bother for money! I hope it sufficiently answers your question! Our views can be different than this, but gambling is a method of relaxing! An adult's way of relaxing rather!
When people gamble their money and the results are positive, that is when they find it fun. But if they gamble and subsequently lose, they will try as much to feel the satisfaction of winning.
Although I do not want to eliminate the possibility of people gambling due to the enjoyment they feel, most gamble with a primary goal in their mind- which is to win and to earn cash quickly. The endless cycle continues until a person drains his/her earnings and starts to look for alternatives in finding cash to gamble again.
Unfortunately, while it may seem that they are enjoying, they do not see the negative implications that arise from this.

Your analysis about the gamblers is wrong. Most of the gamblers gamble to gain money and are not here for fun only. People risk their money only because they want to get some quick money. Only the rich people can gamble for fun only.
Also losing money is not enjoyable. Think that you have come to gambling to get some fun and in this process you lose all your money. Now you will feel sad and unhappy. You cannot be happy knowing that you have lost the money.
Just for fun is just a statement, but the inner mind always agonize for a win. Not only win, the earning is the big thing that makes the common people spend good time on gambling even after loses. In simple terms, mentioning it just for fun is a way to pacify thyself out of the loses. Think of gambling without money or an earning possibility, none will say just for fun anymore.

Nobody wants to lose in gambling, no gambler will tell you that he is playing to lose, he wants to win and he will get and employ the best strategy so he can win, what we have is a responsible gambler who knows for a fact that you can win and you can lose, but you don't want to lose and at the same time get disappointed and depressed, so it's better to have have some fun and enjoy the excitement while playing.
Losing money ain't fun. But from a gambler's perspective, you will find it difficult to understand the feeling that we have on why we continue to gamble. We know the chances, low for winning and high for losing.
It isn't losing everyday but it isn't also winning everyday.
