Topic: How do you understand entertainment? - page 11. (Read 2325 times)

 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.

Entertainment is an activity that makes us feel happy, and can be medicine when we feel tired because we have worked all day and gambling is not the only entertainment but there are also some who use gambling as entertainment, there are several entertainments and it depends on those who want to do that entertainment. according to them, it is suitable for themselves and without any element of coercion, the most important thing is that we feel entertained without having to feel pressure, even though the aim of having fun is to forget our problems or tiredness because we are tired of working, gambling can be a fun activity for those who want to have fun without being thirsty for winning and winning is treated as a bonus.

For me, gambling is also entertainment for me and I will feel happy even if I don't get any profit because I use it as a medium to have fun without having to expect more through gambling because I know this game is full of risks, winning or losing I will enjoy it as entertainment but with Note: Don't spend a lot of money on gambling, the most important thing is to limit gambling and play responsibly and not burden our minds who want entertainment.

enjoying the gambling that is done is the right way to make gambling as a means of entertainment, by considering gambling like that, there will be no big losses because usually the people who experience big losses are those who cannot enjoy the gambling that they do, moreover they think that gambling is a means that can make money for sure so that there are people who think they can get rich by gambling, of course this is not true, because thinking like that will only make them addicted to gambling and the deeper they fall into gambling, the less they can control themselves. and what you say is true, they will only be disappointed with the results that are certain to occur with the gambling they do.

It's true what you say is very hypocritical if we don't want money from gambling, it's just that people who gamble for fun or just for entertainment don't focus on chasing uncertain wins. I am sure that there are only a few people who gamble for entertainment only compared to gamblers who think that gambling is wrong, where there are more of them who chase wins and thus experience a lot of financial losses.

Only rich folks use gambling as a form of entertainment… That’s simply not true. Average and low income earners also see and use gambling as a form of entertainment.
Agreed, having consistent winnings during gambling would definitely help and add to one’s excitement level and entertainment derived from the activity. I think if one has the sole interest of winning some money or making an income from the activity, that takes away most or all of the entertainment to be had.

Chasing one’s losses is never advised. There’ll definitely be no entertainment to be had and you’ll end up losing money as well.

Yes, it depends on their mindset, sometimes everyone who gambles with the aim of making money will usually never feel the pleasure of gambling, they will focus on their gambling and try seriously to recover their losses, we definitely see people like that because most gambling addicts come from them. who gamble to make money and only think about how to make money from gambling itself, when in fact gambling was created as a place to have fun for rich people. because rich people always have fun with their money.

But it's not that we are poor, we also have to focus on seeking luck in gambling, we should have a mindset like rich people, namely focusing on fun and entertainment, not money, so that we don't get addicted to gambling because we take gambling too seriously, sometimes people always ask questions. where is the fun, while their mindset has not been changed so they will never feel the pleasure, even though in fact gambling should only be for entertainment and any winnings should be considered a bonus.

If they are fine in listening to our concerns to them, we shouldn't stop advising them and reminding to stop. But if you are that persistent kind of guy but you start to see them not appreciate your words and reminders, it won't make sense anymore to tell them that they should stop as soon as possible or something bad might happen to them. Because it's not always that we like to tell such words to these people when we know that they're no longer listening.

It's such a waste of saliva to keep on mouthing them about reminders that they need to be aware of, when they don't appreciate your lowkey help about advises. Anyway, you're not obliged to give advise on these gamblers but I know that our concern is there.

Gambling for profit isn't an unreal reason. IMHO, the majority gambles for the profit and that can't be denied although many choose to say that they are there for the entertainment and not for the money. Regardless of the reason, you can start with the logic that who doesn't want to have a good ending when they gamble? I don't think that no one will ever say that because as a matter of fact, we gamble in hopes of winning some money and games.

Gambling is one of the ways to escape from your main activity, when you play for little money and losing will not be a big disappointment for you. Of course, it will be possible to call this entertainment only if you win, because if you lose, it will definitely be considered a way to be distracted by something else for a while.

If a player plays for big money and tries to make money on gambling, then this will already be his job, and it cannot be entertainment. Therefore, it turns out that everyone would like to make gambling an entertainment for themselves, if not for the moments of loss, when entertainment can turn into grief.

Entertainment in my understanding is what eliminates the moment of loss, for example, going to the park for amusement rides, where there will be only positive emotions.

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.

I totally agree with you but however in as much as most people believe that gambling is all about entertainment there are also people who sees it as the only way to make money but sometimes I wouldn't blame them because somebody that does not have money will not like to gamble with the little he has just because he wants to get entertain, so actually reasoning on that perspective we will realize that everybody has there own interest why they gamble but however in terms of entertainment I think it will also be nice if people view gambling on that perspective because it will give them the mindset that even if they lose there bet while gambling is not going to be a big deal for them because they are just doing it to catch fun.

The term entertainment is different on gambling , there are free entertainment like you an stroll in the park or be with your friends while watching your favorite movie but when it comes to gambling its different, you come here with the mindset that you want to enjoy the games then you are faced with the opportunity to make money and there will be a pressure and the excitement to shift from enjoying the game to trying to make money.

Well, i think if you want to go by the main purpose gambling was invented then I’d say it’s entertainment that’s probably why you often come across the word “entertainment”. But then alot of people abuse gambling and that’s when it shifts from the context of entertainment as it was initially intended for, some people see it as an opportunity to make money that’s why people don’t regard gambling for entertainment purposes anymore but it doesn’t mean entertainment is not the main driving force of gambling.

The thought of people seeing gambling as an opportunity to make money gave rise to addiction as they began to let their emotions in and gradually greed started coming in as well as they lose money. For those who see gambling as a means of entertainment addiction find it difficult to get to them.

Entertainment is any activity that you find exciting. Entertainment can be in different forms. Such as music, tv program, drama, football and lots more.
Today I want to bring to us that gambling is also an entertainment. I know so many people would want to ask why.
Firstly, it is important for us to know that an activity or program maybe exciting to be today but to you it may not be exciting. This is basically because of the area we are gaining it from.
Gambling being an exciting entertainment here to some people means that gambling have really blessed them, gambling have made them millionaires. Gambling have put smiles on their faces. So they find it exciting and entertaining because they knew in one or two ways they most definitely get smiles from it. That is why you see some people today as been addicted to gambling, but if we really deep down to know the reason behind that we will know that is not really been addicted but they sees gambling as an entertainment and it excite them anytime they find themselves doing it because it always put smiles on their face. The smile here, is the wining. When their rate of wining is always more than the rate of losing. Tell me, when your rate of wining gamble is 80 or 85%, why wouldn't you find gambling to be entertaining. It is only those that their losing rate is higher than their winning rate always see gambling not to be entertaining. Do you know there are some games you will lose when you just think about the scenario you just laugh? Have you ever watched football that you find yourself jubilating when another team is losing? That is to say, even at the lost of others we still find ourselves rejoicing. If you can get excited when others lose because you do not support them, then check how much excited you will be when your supporting team won. That is one of the thing that make football entertaining. The same it is in gambling.

This means that in my opinion it is too risky to make gambling as entertainment, because in the end there is always the possibility for everyone to eventually experience a change in mindset and perspective towards gambling, or meaning that even though they initially came with the aim of entertainment, sometimes it is possible for them to eventually be attracted to winning because of the many temptations that look tempting which are actually nothing more than temptations that will trap them and lead them to disappointment and regret.

Now gambling has become increasingly popular, especially after the existence of online casinos which make it easy for everyone to gamble freely, and over time when gambling activities are not managed properly in accordance with various suggestions that are often recommended then it is clear that in the end it will cause many disasters, especially when they experience changes in the attraction to winning. The fact is, as you said, that lately many people always try to use gambling as a place to solve financial problems.

I also believe that many players think that they play to win money and get rich, but in fact they play to play, they like these attractive sounds, pictures, adrenaline and the fact that they sit in front of the monitor, instead of hard work, which they constantly do asking awkward questions. Of course, that’s why many people love and call it entertainment. Of course, I also like this process, but before the bet itself, because I like to analyze and choose strategies for the game. As for other players, of course everyone loves to experience the joy of victory, this is a pleasant feeling, even if the player placed a completely random bet, because luck chose him. Everyone loves luck and gets pleasure and positive emotions, of course, after this we can confidently call it entertainment.

But entertainment is also defined by an entity that wants you to be entertained. For a casino to give you entertainment, they define this entertainment as a cash cow in exchange for your money.

Money is still the goal to be entertained. A person works 9-5 a day and goes home to watch TV for entertainment before sleeping is still entertainment. It depends on how you look at it.

There is no other meaning other than being happy with what you are doing  (being entertained). But our emotions mix it up and instead, we entertain ourselves by gambling, it becomes a reason for our regrets and disappointments.

I believe that gambling was for entertainment before but now, it is nothing. Why? People gamble for the sake of money, not for the sake of having enjoyment. That is the sad reality but yes, gamblers often change because of their needs and they think that gambling is the answer to their financial problems.  

In this case, I would call it a hobby. It is a hobby, in my opinion, that embodies a pleasant pastime to which people are willing to devote most of their time while simultaneously studying and receiving more and more information about it.

Entertainment is something that can and should be enjoyed at some point in time so that there is a balance between the hustle and bustle and stress encountered in life. And gambling is just right for this. We get a rush of both adrenaline and dopamine, which makes us stress-resistant and cheerful. But of course, when our “entertainment” changes its focus to making a profit, the game of chance ceases to serve what it was originally invented for.

Many gamblers are forgetting the true purpose of gambling games. Let's take aside the word gambling. The games we used to play in gambling are giving us entertainment and fun, right? So imagine disregarding the money and only playing the games. That's when we have fun and experience entertainment. Believe me, anything that has money on it will eventually be stressful or eventually make one person miserable. Just like in gambling, games themselves are fun, but if a gambler notices that he is losing money, expect that it will have an effect or impact. Even if a gambler ignores the loss of money and aims just to have an effect or impact. Even if a gambler ignores the loss of money and aims just to have fun, eventually he will feel the lack of money or the effect of losing money from time to time. That's why it's hard to relate money to entertainment because it will only cause misery or negative effects.

I believe that only few are gambling just for the sake of entertainment, and like many others here, I disagree as well to your point that entertainment is the main driving force of any gambling. It's the profit that gamblers can get. That's the main driving force.

Let's face it. Many people look at gambling as their way to earn more money, and well, all gamblers look at gambling like that, there are still a few gamblers who are prioritizing being entertained than the profits that they can get. I mean if they win then it's a bonus only for them, but having fun while gambling is their priority. As for me, I understand entertainment when it's related to gambling as something that makes me excited while doing it. For example, I feel entertained or excited whenever I put some bets on some sports games. When I lose money, I feel disappointed, but it's ok as long as I enjoyed it.

I hope that people will look at gambling as their way to relieve their stress and be entertained and not because they can earn money on it. Well, you can win big money, but look at gambling as something that will entertain you and the profits are just a bonus.

If you are setting a goal or target to earn and win in gambling then you are not the one who calls
themselves as fun seeker because that breaks the rules of enjoyment when you can feel the pressure
and the desperation each time you lose in gambling , I think this is another perspective .

this is why there are so many  hypocrite gamblers here that pretend to be playing for fun but the
truth is they wanted to win just to have fun but if not then they cannot call it a fun thing but a losing place.
