Topic: How do you understand entertainment? (Read 2325 times)

Entertainment surrounds gamblers indeed, the only trouble with some players is when to feel glad. Whether a player chooses to feel great after winning or not, it's going to hurt after that, when the losses start reoccurring. Fun gamblers may not know the best way to feel after losing, but, it's nothing to bother about, losing does no harm to people who know how to welcome it, and anticipate to celebrate their next win soon.

Playing the casino games is entertaining and watching the match that you placed your bet on is also entertaining, which means if you lose your bet, gou should not be angry or emotional because you enjoyed the fun, only if you were gambling for profit because such person does not know if gambling is enjoyable.

It is because you are enjoying the fun in gambling that will make you see it as a means to relieve you from stress and that will also make you a responsible gambler because you will be able to control yourself and gamble only with the amount of money that you can afford to lose.

Let's look at the middle ground here, some people do and I am among those who consider gambling as a place of entertainment in life, but when you lose, it is normal and natural as humans, but if you lose a lot of money, the problem is in yourself, because if we talk about the literal meaning and point of view of each person is different. That's where the annoyance and regret grows, when you take gambling seriously, like pursuing life targets, when you can do it more calmly and comfortably by spending money that you are willing to waste on gambling there, the seriousness here should be focused on self-control and money management not on what you should get from gambling such as financial benefits for example.

I will agree with you that there are many people who take up gambling as an entertainment purpose and yet find themselves regretting huge amount of losses.  But I would disagree with you that gambling should be taken seriously rather than just entertainment.

Gambling must be taken as entertainment but here we have to follow some rules.  Regarding the rules, we see that every game has certain rules.  The basic rule of thumb in gambling is that a man should gamble only as much as he can afford to lose. Gambling is not entertainment for those who are addicted and invest money beyond their means to lose. And besides, a certain amount must be set, and if the amount is crossed, the gambling must be stopped.

Entertainment is not just entertainment and having fun, but we must be able to know when to stop. Actually I don't mind when someone gambles with a very high bet amount, but they must be able to control themselves. Because when they make high bets every round, it will make money run out quickly. The problem will start when they are not satisfied and still want to play.
When that happens, if they can't limit themselves, they will make a deposit and gamble again and so on. They will realize when they have lost a lot and that is what must be fully watched out for. Not everyone can do that, so I recommend enjoying every round with any nominal.
It's true they shouldn't think about the victory they can get, once again they have to enjoy it.

Entertainment is only practical meaning but the main purpose of gambling is to secure your money and make profit. I have seen many gamblers who started gambling saying before gambling that they will take this gambling only as entertainment but when they lost money gambling they regretted it a lot. It can be taken as fun when the outcome of gambling is more gain than loss. But I would say that gambling should be taken seriously rather than as entertainment. We should gamble in such a way that we do not lose any money by gambling. If we are regularly losing money then we need to realize that our skills and strategy are flawed enough to change that strategy and try gambling again.

            -     When we say entertainment, that is a broad matter. Now, if it is related to gambling, there are many gimmicks that online casinos do through the events they do to entertain their gamblers even more, and these events often happen in physical casinos.

In online casinos, many are entertained via social media; those are the only things I see why other gambling communities are entertained; just don't forget to limit the amount of money used to play gambling.

Yep, I'd say gamblers should able to enjoy the entertainment during betting instead of the end results (either you lose all of your money or you make some profit). If you didn't feel entertained while betting, you high unlikely will enjoy gambling because you will lose more than win.

Just like traveling and watching movies, you're entertained during doing that instead of when you back home.

Should your primary motivation be financial, you are engaging in a risky game. Its easy to lose yourself in the moment, particularly if your team is performing brilliantly. Remember, though, it goes beyond simply who wins or loses. Its about recognising the chances, wise betting, and when to call it quits. Things turn nasty when you start hunting losses. You lose your cool, make poor judgements, and before you know it you find yourself in a hole from which you cannot get out. Trust me; I have personally seen it happen among the greatest of them.

Thus, what then is the fix? simple. Bet using your mind, not your heart. Investigate, create a budget, and then keep to it. Most importantly, though, keep in mind that this should be entertaining. You should stop if you are not having fun.

I intentionally agree with you on this.Entertainment particularly means different things to different people,and lots of people seek or have different methods, systems and varieties of having fun or be entertained.
Gambling on it's own could possibly comprises of making money and also stand as a fun zone.
Most people take gambling activities so seriously that they fail to recover or regain themselves when they lose or spend more than expected.The way the poor, middle class and the rich class takes gambling needs to be studied accurately.

The pleasure from gambling becomes intense and exciting when you engage yourself to not be carried away by gambling itself.

If a gambler losses many times, he will not gets entertain from gambling because he can not enjoy his gambling activities. His emotion can increase and will trying to recover his lost money.
His mindset will change when he lose some money and will not trying to see gambling as an entertainment because his minds will tells him to recover his lost money. That will makes him spends longer than usual and he will use more money to gets his money back.
But that doesn't mean he can gets his money back because gambling is not like as source of income. That is why he must manage his minds when using gambling and only treat gambling as an entertainment.

Entertainment can also be the process of betting itself, waiting for the results of bets, realizing that you have won (or lost), that is, the process of gambling from beginning to end. Not separately, the process for pleasure or the process for the possibility of winning, but in totality.

Limiting the amount of the bet is not necessarily an indicator that the gambler is having fun. Entertainment can be greater with higher bets, because there are more emotions.

There is no fun in chasing big profits because the probability of hitting a jackpot is very low. People who gamble for entertainment do not think about waiting for jackpots if they do then they are no more gambling for fun. Gambling is meant to win or lose and if anyone is merely wining more than he loses then I can say he is having fun in gambling but if he is losing more often than the way he wins then such a person is not having fun. That is my definition of gambling for fun.

In a case where a gambler loses several times, it doesn't seem fun to him as he would want to chase profits to cover up his losses. So if the mindset was for fun or entertainment, he would find himself chasing for wins and thus it's no longer fun anymore. Losing in gambling is bound to change our perception in gambling but when we are winning, we still dare to say we are either gambling for fun or for profits.

It can be entertainment only if you initially do not perceive gambling as earnings, and losing or winning will not matter to them, but simply as a way to distract yourself from work. Only it seems to me that you need to play on a small budget, so that in case of loss there is no big disappointment, but this is relevant for me, maybe someone needs to risk big money to distract themselves.

Yes I will also say that what you said is true, our mindset is something that will trigger action, or what is meant is that all actions must be done based on ideas or desires on the basis or certain reasons, and if a gambler is already focused on money then it is clear that it can greatly influence all forms of action that they will do.

However, focusing yourself and your mind on money or winning in gambling is a very dangerous idea, where it is very likely that it is very easy for them to fall into and get carried away because of various aggressive or impulsive actions that are driven by the wrong way of thinking and goals, in the end yes it is certain for them to lose most of the assets they have, because usually gamblers who have the intention and goal to produce will always find it difficult to ignore greed so that the various actions they take actually lead them back to defeat when they have previously won, and of course there will never be any pleasure in it but the pressure and tension that they will feel, therefore this is why gambling with the aim of producing is always prohibited.

This is correct. When you have people take profit-making from gambling into their minds, it affects the way they think and the way they gamble.
 
The fun part of gambling is being put aside as they chase big profits with the ambition to hit a jackpot, and most of the time they usually end up losing all they put in, and when they lose, they get emotionally hurt, which affects their next decision in terms of selecting the next game. There is little to no fun when someone is gambling mainly for the profit.

Each person does have their different approach towards gambling on which there would really be those individuals who are really that focusing too much about fun and there are people who are really that focusing on making money but usually or most people will really be that majorly be that pertaining or wants on making money with gambling on which its a common approach. Fun and entertainment would really be just that second in line on which this is something thats understandable since human beings are naturally greedy on which it would really be that just normal that they would really be wanting to have more money and via means on doing gambling then it would really be something which is understandable. You would really be losing up yourself on making that enjoyment on the moment that you are losing.  

This is why gambling industry is really that profitable due to the fact that majority of gamblers are really that too impulsive. They would really be loving on chasing up their loses and being that too desperate
on trying to hit up jackpots. This is why they cant really just that resist to make even more deposits until they would really be busting it all. There would really be just those individuals
who are really that good when it comes to self moderation and control on which this is a must thing if you are getting involved with gambling.

I highly agree, most gamblers who stated that they are just gambling for fun are just masking their real intention of winning money, else they will do other forms of entertainment that will not give them a chance to win money from wagering such as mountain climbing,  hiking or deep diving.


Who does not want to profit in his action may it be a service, job or entertainment?  Any activity or hobby that deals with wagering money obviously has a goal of winning more money.  Even some of those who establish charity foundations and churches wanted to profit from the establishment, what more for people who go to gambling to wager money?

Hahaha, you might be right in some kind of way. But i won't generalize it to everyone who says they are gambling for fun. For real some of them are gambling for fun and entertainment. Gambling doesn't mean staying at home to place bets or going to a local casino and make a good pick in the name of fun. There persons who goes to casino to have fun at the same time gamble. I know most times i go out to play 8 ball pool and at the same time I find myself gambling with other players and if i lose i don't feel bad because when i win i feel excited and i know i was only having. And to be honest I always have a maximum amount i can exceed if am to gamble any day.

I think most of those that speak about entertainment when gambling because gambling is not about fun because there is no fun when losing your hard earn money, so for don't believe in all those statements of gambler who says they gamble for fun but mean while they are wagering with the expectation of winning big, profits is the major drive for gambling so let accept that fact and face it as it should be, we can't decieve ourselves any longer because most of the comments here point to Gambling for fun which is far from the reality of things on ground,.

When we have the right mindset we will make so much progress and for sure I don't want to believe that those that  take gambling calling it entertainment does so to avoid public condemnation of their gambling involvement, at least now that the era of cryptocurrency casino is on the rise, there is high privacy for anyone gambling using cryptocurrency and only you know that you are gambling and no one else.
