Why not just waste your time on games that don't require you to waste your money too?

You don't waste money so you play on a demo account, will this be fun? Of course not, because you will not feel satisfied with the challenging sensation demo game then you will not be entertained.

It's better to take the time to gamble on the weekends, but a little money goes a long way even though you won't be able to play for much longer unless you win.

Demo games arent that fun (trust me) . Yes, you wont really be able to lose money but you cant also be able to gain either. Therefore, your brain would be telling into you that this aint fun.
You would really be needing that real funds for you to earn something real too on which this is really that understandable. It is really just that depending on a certain person but well
when we do speak about demo games then it is really just that for the sake of testing out the game but just like been said that this isnt something that could really be fun and this is
why that majority of gamblers wont really be touching up this area and would really be directly make out real deposits and play live balances.

Entertainment and thrill could really be felt on the moment that you do make use of real balance on which it would really be just that typical. The only issue on here is that
whenever that someone doesht have that kind of control towards his/her spending then this is where shit things do happen.

Entertainment is something that can gives fun for us. Gambling is just one of many entertainment that we can gets so we can uses it to have fun even if we lose our money. Actually, other entertainments can makes us spends money. For example, you go to cinema and watch the movie, you spends some money to buy the ticket, watch the movie, and enjoy it. You lose your money because you buy the ticket but you satisfy with that because that's the money you can afford to uses to watch the movie at the cinema.

Gambling is just like that. You spends your money to enjoy the gambling games and you only uses the money you can afford to lose. But if you breaks your limits by using more money, you will lose much money. It's about how much money you will spends in gambling and enjoy the game, even if you loses that money, you will not have a problem because you knows that playing gambling can makes you lose the money.

We tend to find entertainment in gambling in our own ways, and that's what make the fun more colourful. Some person like slot game because it's easy to make predictions by just guessing. But I love sport gambling because it also involves you to associate in watching the games to be able to make your own analysis and predictions that guarantees more fun and excitement whenever you win a bet. You could even play among yourselves using any card game or dice and get the best from the moment. Gambling is fun when you don't add addiction into the process spending above your limits will only make you regret gambling in the first place so I urge you Al to gamble responsible.

For me, entertainment in gambling is when you see the slots spinning in all colors that you can see and the music and the performances in the casino, entertainment is something that should make you happy and reduce your stress. Regarding the main driving force, I really don't believe that's the truth because you're really gambling for fun? Why not just waste your time on games that don't require you to waste your money too?

Yes, that's right, the point is that entertainment is something that can give a pleasant impression in any way without thinking about the results at the end of the game, as you say that entertainment in gambling is when we see some symbols spinning or rolling with the rhythm of music that makes us feel an unusual sensation regardless of the outcome of the game like in the type of slot game, or when we are involved in the type of sports betting then the excitement of watching a tense and exciting match is also the main point of gambling that should be enjoyed, or the point is that it is better to focus on the excitement than the results that we will get when it's all over.

Entertainment is something that we should be able to enjoy? Of course, meaning that when the activity cannot provide us with entertainment or pleasure then it is clearly not entertainment, and I am sure that the tension along with some of the pressure is often felt by gamblers who have entered the addiction phase, or that means often felt by those who gamble in the wrong way, so that means that something that is only recommended to be used as a place to seek entertainment should not be treated too seriously.

Personally, I also think a lot of people are already getting themselves very confused on their purpose of gambling and some other people are confused with what entertainment in gambling means and just as op already stated that that, a lot of people try to define entertainment to suit themselves and personally I don’t see anything entertaining in gambling if I’m not making profit and having some great wins.

I think a lot of people are along trying to follow the crowd to say, they only gamble for fun and entertainment but frankly what’s really entertaining about losing in gambling and that’s why I always and still stand on the ground that, gambling only gets entertaining when the winnings are more than the losses.

I also think so, where entertainment is when you gamble just for fun and don't focus too much on getting rich from your gambling activities. Because in my personal opinion, when a gambler only focuses on getting rich from their gambling and forgets the fact that their chances of getting rich from it are not that high, then in the end they will be disappointed because they lose a lot just to get rich. So instead of having to stress and think too much about getting rich from gambling, I prefer to gamble for entertainment - but it's not that I don't want money from it, it's just that I'm not that focused on pursuing wealth from it.

Yes gambling is foolish to try to make a career or to become a big man gambling only for fun. There is a lot of entertainment to be had after winning at gambling but losing doesn't hurt much if the money is used only for fun. However, I feel very guilty when I get a big win while gambling but continue to gamble and lose them again. Regrettably then, if the cashout was done at that time, a lot of profit could have been made. Then we don't have that entertainment

The highlighted text explains my stand and how I do feel when after winning big, I get greedy and try to win some more without cashing out and probably changing to another game to try my wits and be entertained.
For me, entertainment in gambling comes when I don't have much work and am bored waiting on the results of either matches I placed a bet on or just trying to play off the remainder of funds left in my betting or gambling account.

Though every gambler may have different meaning to what entertainment means to them, on a general scale, entertainment when it comes to gambling is the act of finding fun, joy and happiness while gambling, irrespective of the amount set asides, of which this process of fun in gambling are always mostly on casino games, whereby an individual could go out with his family or friends to go play a slot game, while guessing who will likely win the highest amount. Or probably guessing who may be the luckiest among them. Hence, this issue of entertainment are of different forms.

However, when it comes to gambling, I never invite my family to join in gambling, even if it's for fun, but that's not a good example, especially if the children know that they will consider gambling as an entertainment game for them, which shouldn't be a game for them, so if I want entertainment, I play. gambling alone, if not with my friends, and the most important thing is to be able to control myself so that I don't easily get involved in fun which causes spending to become out of control.

When I said go gamble for fun with your wife, I never meant always, I meant as a gambler which we all are, you you could take your family (i.e wife or kind) to go experience what gambling looks like for the sake of fun, it's never a bad idea, inasmuch as it's not done always, but rather once or twice a year to go play either roulette or slot games, because I have seen situations where kids tend to be more luckier than adults while playing these luck base games. And if you could try your luck it's never a bad idea. But however, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and it's what you believe in that may likely works for you.

Often the concept of entertainment is used to say that in good gambling you should not put false hopes and play with money that you can afford to lose in order to be entertained. But just as you can lose money you can win it, and that is the crux of entertainment.

Yes, that's true Sir, which is why I think we always advocate people gamble responsibly.

I rather believe that entertainment in gambling is essentially linked to the possibility of winning money. If you play cards for example without betting money you get bored much earlier than if you bet money, even a little.

There are many kinds of entertainment and as gamblers describe gambling as entertainment because they feel entertained by the games in various casinos besides that they can have fun while hoping to win. If they win they consider it a bonus for them but if they lose they also feel entertained. because the goal from the start is just to have fun losing from gambling is a normal thing, basically if we want fun entertainment we need to spend money to give us pleasure. Just like we want a holiday, of course we need to spend money just like gambling.

However, when it comes to gambling, I never invite my family to join in gambling, even if it's for fun, but that's not a good example, especially if the children know that they will consider gambling as an entertainment game for them, which shouldn't be a game for them, so if I want entertainment, I play. gambling alone, if not with my friends, and the most important thing is to be able to control myself so that I don't easily get involved in fun which causes spending to become out of control.

But if you ask you what entertainment is for you, then this question will be at a dead end. They do not know what entertainment is. Wikipedia writes that this is activity for pleasure.
But I see in this a certain cognitive activity, only with poorly formulated goals. For example, you play in order to understand the laws of the game over time and learn to win more often.
Or maybe entertainment for you is something else?

Many wrote that the game brings pleasure even when you lose. But what exactly is the pleasure in losing? I can only assume that pleasure is a secondary thing in relation to gambling. I believe that entertainment is a special form of development. I understand that it sounds or looks strange, but it is. You play and know probabilistic laws. You will know the laws of winnings and losses. You begin to better understand the spontaneous nature of the game. You become better, smarter, more insight, etc. Of course, this brings pleasure.

If we can accept the reality of playing gambling which is losing the money, we will be okay with that because we knows that playing gambling can makes us lose the money. We will consider that is the price that we will gets if we still playing gambling but we will not try to recover the lose because we knows that is not easy.
We will lets the money gone without thinks to gets it back because we thinks that gambling is just for entertainment and have fun. That will not looks strange if we can accept the lose and feels the pleasure of playing gambling even if we lose the money.
You use gambling with some money and spends some time to playing gambling but you will not feels regret with the lose because you can affords to lose that money in gambling. That is because you knows that playing gambling can gives lose for you.

It is only rich people can use gambling as entertainment because for them the result of losing is only entertainment. But many people gamble with the dream of becoming rich, but when they lose, they lose their money. Gambling is difficult to lose, so there is no entertainment. I was sitting in a shop eating and next to me a man was placing bets repeatedly in gambling. I see his wallet he has lost a lot of money yet he is betting but this was not enough entertainment for me. Because I know that it is difficult to earn that money if you lose by gambling.

Your statement is subjective, gambling means different thing to different caliber of financial people. There are gamblers that are filthy rich and they gamble because they want to increase their wealth. What they do is pick one option out of many in the casino and put large amount of money and they are okay with that; as soon as they win, they are happy with the result and doesn't care how and why the result came like that and that's their personality with gambling.

We have people that don't care about the money as long they are happy, take a look at Drake for example, the dude is known for staking as high as $500k into games and boxing and doesn't care what people would say. He is even fond of putting it online for people to see, I guess this is how he enjoy his own gambling despite been a rich musician who can afford anything, I wouldn't say Drake would be gambling $500k and showing the public with intention of trying to get rich.

I don't think that deep inside, no one really believes that it's all entertainment that's the driving force in gambling, people don't like to admit that they hunger for money so I do believe in the fact that it's just a lie that a lot of people told themselves to make it seem like gambling and losing your money in gambling isn't that bad and that you're not really losing anything besides the money. But to indulge what we're supposed to mean with entertainment when it comes to gambling, it's the same thing as any other definition that's already mentioned, that it's a way to generate happy hormones so you can have fun and the only thing that I'd add in that definition is that the entertainment that it will generate is going to be addicting if you don't know how to deal with your emotions.

What you enjoy doing, whether it gives you money or not, can be regarded as entertainment. Most people find their way to gambling houses to get entertained, to ease stress and tension.

Someone who's at the end of their gambling activities for the day actualizes that(entertained, eases stress and tension), have at least gained something from their gambling journey for the day even if they lose from gambling.

I feel like they tried to troll the thread or they used wrong words to describe the feeling. You cannot possibly feel pleasure from losing unless you're a masochist, or deeply depressed, so that you want to punish yourself by losing even more. Normal, sane people will not feel any pleasure from losing, but they'll feel it from winning and that can carry a bigger emotional load that makes them forget about previous losses as long as there are wins.

Exactly, I also think the same thing as you, according to logic and common sense losing money is a situation that is really difficult for everyone to accept, and we can see that people are willing to work up to 12 hours a day with a lot of sweat which is nothing but all they do to get money because we all need money to survive, meaning that it is clear that losing money is a situation that is not wanted by everyone.

On the other hand I would ask that if gambling did not have or did not provide a chance of winning to every gambler then would there still be people who gamble? I think not, it is very unlikely that people come voluntarily to exchange their money for the enjoyment of the game that runs without any chance of reward, and that means that most likely they come because they feel interested in realizing the chances of winning that exist in gambling, meaning that most people come to gambling because of the opportunity to “multiply”.
