I don't get where are you heading here.
You are saying that gamblers that are gambling for fun and profit are different, well it is true that it is different but saying that they are fine or don't mind losing that is not fun at all. I mean, put yourself on that gambler, you gamble for fun and you are losing a lot of money, that is fine with you? If you are gambling for fun, and you are losing where is the fun at that? Please answer me. I don't get it.
I agree that losing isn't fun but you don't have to gamble a lot of money to have fun. You can have fun while gambling with a lot of money but you're more focused towards profiting than having fun since you're gambling so much money. You can do both but one is always higher than the other and it will show based on your gambling activity.
No matter how hard you try to gamble for fun only, it is simply not possible. The main reason for this is that at the back of your mind, you have money in your mind. Even if your intention is not to win but still you have a fear of loss.
This fear of losing money will not let you enjoy gambling at full strength.
That's bullshit. One can gamble with a point system that has no relation to money.
Gambling in itself has no connection to money.
The desire to win in a gambling match stems from primeval instincts.
You see back when we were cavemen, we had to protect out cave from other cavemen or other tribes. We spent days and months and sometimes years gathering things that we thought belonged to us rightfully, so naturally when other cavemen took those things we reacted by becoming violent and by regaining the property that was stolen from us.
With modern gambling, addiction stems from that same feeling and sense of losing what we think rightfully belongs to us, we respond by becoming aggressive or by increasing the odds and stakes and end up losing more - its a vicious cycle actually, that has nothing to do with money.
But the moment you switch your thinking where you admit that the money that you want to gain was never yours, right then and there you would disconnect from the cycle.
