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?

Everyone will have a different opinion regarding this but I think my opinion as far as entertainment is concern seems to be the same with Wikipedia. Entertainment in gambling to me is when one engage in gambling for pleasure, fun and to pass time. When one is gambling responsibly with a reasonable amount of money when they feel to gamble, enjoy the moment regardless of whether they win or lose that money, they are gambling for entertainment. However, you hardly find people who gamble purely for entertainment purpose, some few people exist but the majority are in for another reason entirely.

I agree about your understanding of what entertainment is. And it's always being told here that everyone should only gamble with the capacity that we have and never treat it as a souce of living. But we can't stop people from choosing what they think is right for them, as they gamble, it's not new that we're in it to have some fun but more of earning some profits.

Yeah, no one can force anyone to gamble for fun or entertainment, everyone is entitled gamble based on what they believe of it but it's very necessary for us face the reality about gambling. Having another reason aside entertainment is unrealistic, gambling for profit per se is the most unrealistic reason for gambling because only few percentage of people make profits from it, the rest end up being disappointed and frustrated which in one or the other affect everyone in the society. It becomes necessary to continue cautioning people to gamble for fun and not profits.

In the topic of gambling, I often see the word "entertainment". Nevertheless, each user means some meaning by this. Many people believe that entertainment is the main driving force of any gambling.

I think that the main driving force for gambling is the desire to become rich and not entertainment. Take a survey from gamblers as whether they are gambling for fun/entertainment or the purpose is to gain quick money, and you will be surprised to know that mostly gamblers gamble to earn money and entertainment is just a secondary thing for them. Some may even don't care for entertainment, they only care for the monetary gains.

There can be nothing more entertaining than winning by gambling and gaining money. Do you think there is anything more entertaining than this?
Think of a person only gambling for fun and he loses, will he still feel entertained? Surely the sad emotions of losing money will overcome the entertaining emotions of gambling. Wink

People's enjoyment is definitely different, as is the point of view of the meaning of entertainment in gambling. I personally use gambling as entertainment because I really enjoy spinning on a slot machine and I don't know why every time I spin, sometimes I smile a little if the spin doesn't go as expected. because I don't expect to get a lot of money from the game I'm playing, so I still feel happy if the game only lasts a short time or can be played for a longer time with the capital limit that I set when I want to play.

It's true that people's perspectives vary, such as people who think gambling is not entertainment, but each person makes different kinds of entertainment. such as playing slots, cards, football, everyone definitely has the right to create entertainment to relieve boredom, stress or other things. I always play with friends or neighbors, whether it's slots, card gambling, there is harmony and laughter because their hopes are missed, which becomes a source of laughter.

For me entertainment in gambling is when I feel thrilled and enjoying the moment when I am playing.
The feeling of excitement in every bet while waiting for the result, even if it is just for quick or short spam of time.
That is why I only play crash game and mines.

Entertainment can have a calming effect or complement a person's emotional level due to being bored, stressed due to being too tired at work and other problems faced unintentionally. Everyone has their own way of refreshing unstable moods, including looking for entertainment in gambling places. Gambling as entertainment is familiar to people who are often involved in gambling, this type of gambler is not too obsessed with the results obtained in betting, they just want to vent their feelings by buying entertainment in their own way.

Without entertainment, life feels empty, entertainment has many functions and purposes that vary from each person's objective and perspective. Saya pernah melihat seseorang memasang taruhan tanpa mempedulikan berapapun hasil yang keluar, dia terus menikmati permainan tersebut dengan perasaan happy meski sudah menghabiskan beberapa dolar.

Everyone has different decisions that we cannot stop in gambling, even though they only consider entertainment without considering the losses they have lost in the gambling session, they have actually lost control in gambling but they will find it difficult to be advised to gamble with the right allocation of funds. lower. However, all gamblers have their own choices and I do not stop advising them to anticipate the impact of addiction which can lead them to high losses without them realizing they have gambled with the wrong decision.

It is true that somehow this word have different meaning to others. An act may have different level of entertainment also that it can provide to an individual. So yes, there is no absolute definition for this word. It may change from one person to another and how a certain activity is labeled as entertainment.

There goes the definition and meaning of it. But it depends on how each of us portray the meaning of it because each understanding for each of us has different meanings. Well, for someone who finds it amusing and entertainment, it won't be hurting him to lose as long as he's having. And there goes those that are finding it entertaining with the actual game that they're playing without having any feeling at all. Others find it casual that it's fun to do it as a normal daily activity or when they're gambling together with their friends. I know it's something odd but it does happens.

People, "entertainment" is a big word, like "winning" or "success." All have their own definition. Entertainment is fun for some, like a rollercoaster. The thrill, excitement, adrenaline surge. This is fine as long as they play within their means and dont risk everything on a dice throw. Some see it as more than simply fun. Strategy, game mastery, and learning are key.

You said Wikipedia defines entertainment as "activity for pleasure." Its true, but simplistic. Entertainment is about engaging your mind, emotions, and full being, not just having fun. Its about taking a break from the daily grind, even temporarily. What entertains me? All of the above and more. Game thrills, challenge pleasure, and escape from reality. Connecting with others and sharing an experience is equally important.

And on the opposite side, some won't consider gambling as entertainment but a burden to most. This is owed to the fact that some will incur despair owed to losses and for that, they won't consider gambling being an entertaining one. So you can say, this term is very subjective to how a person feel towards the activity.

It is indeed not something that can be done by everyone who considers gambling as a place to find fun or entertainment for them and if you can consider gambling as entertainment I think this is very good because you will never spend a lot of money on gambling and will also be able to enjoy every win. that is there if you have got it and this is very difficult to do for those who cannot consider gambling as entertainment or a place for someone to seek pleasure.
In slot gambling, we can never guess the result of each spin we make and it's true as you said, when we don't expect to win and getting that win is certainly very enjoyable.

One certain condition for a gambler to able to have fun in gambling is that the gambler can easily afford the money to lose. This kind of gamblers engage in gambling when they have a spare time to spend. They really mean gambling is just a game for fun while they don't desperate for money. This kind of gamblers also don't make gambling as their habit, because having fun is not a habit, it's just an activity in a spare time they have.

People who treat gambling as entertainment like going to a movie are able to set a budget beforehand and stick to it. This is how they can enjoy the thrill of the game without a big risk of losing their saving. They can have surprise wins that will be the excitement and make the experience more enjoyable. However, this kind of joy still can be addictive, Gamblers should enjoy the social aspect of playing with friends or the thrill of the game itself, not just winning. Hoping the wins every occasion is what makes people lose their control and invite trouble.

And it doesn't it take an additional burden in yourmind when you are gambling? Because from the many experiences I have read about here from people who specially like to bet on sports, they seem rather anxious and standing on the edge of expectation as the match is getting closer and closer to finish and know whether you will lose or win money.
So, from your personal point of view, as someone who claims not to suffer because of your sessions, but rather get relaxation... do you want some tips for me or for anyone who ends up feeling uncomfortable and anxious because of their gambling habits?
It is because the games you play are some you are very fond of, or because you have managed to set your gambling ambience in a very good way?

Please feel free to share. Tongue

And many even believe that entertainment is a much more physiological need than, for example, a desire to get rich. If you initially set yourself the goal only to have fun, and limit the amount that you are ready to take a chance, then you play for the sake of entertainment, and not because of the thirst for profit. You risk less. 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.

Well, I think we need to have an idea of what entertainment is, and I had to use Google to give a more precise definition of this word, and according to this website:

Quote from: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/entertainment

entertainment

shows, films, television, or other performances or activities that entertain people, or a performance of this type:

There's not much in the way of entertainment in this town - just the cinema and a couple of pubs.~

This season's entertainments include five new plays and several concerts of Chinese and Indian music.

source: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/entertainment

This is also entertainment:

When people are playing in online casinos or in physical casinos, they are having fun, that is entertainment, although there are some people who are playing with the hope of making profits, still for these people who play with the hope of making money, what are they doing is entertainment, when people go to watch football games in the stadiums, they will have fun, that is also entertainment. By this I mean that it doesn't matter whether people are playing with the intention of making a profit or not, as long as they are playing it is already part of being entertained. now those people who work in casinos, I'm talking about casino employees, they are not having fun, they are working to earn a salary, in this scenario it is completely different from the people who went to the casino to play

Let's look at this from this angle. I made a bet for Real Madrid with my weekly signature, it was $50 with odd of 1.43 and I was expecting $70 before the match started and I did stake that amount because it's something I can afford to lose and I did it for the love and passion for the club and I will tell you that the match was entertaining for me, I enjoyed the match to the maximum and I made a nice profit payouts, this is what gambling looks like for as entertainment because on a regular day, if it's another match, I will only bet but wouldn't stake any money.

If it were to be another gambler in my position, he wouldn't bet that small amount, he would might go extra length to stake something 5x the amount I stake and they will tell you that's their own way of fun in football when they can't even afford to lose that amount. I call that heavy gambling and there is nothing entertaining about gambling if you lose amount that will give you sleeplessness, there is nothing entertaining about over risking.

On the context of gambling, entertainment was actually the sole interest according to the book makers and the casino aswell, entertainment in this games were supposed to be that we play the games for leisure and just have fun predicting that our favourite teams get to win games and the excitements that comes with these teams winning while we get rewarded aswell becomes the peak of such entertainment and when they loose we accepting in good fate because there's no emotional attachment is aswell a form of entertainment because the leisure time was used for that.

Some gamblers have left the sole purpose of gambling for entertainment to making money off it, which has gotten them to loose the entertaining aspect that would have come with gambling and just probably gamble for the purpose of making money off it which they sometimes end up loosing their money and not getting entertained again.

Well if I have to be honest on this thought then what I probably feel is entertainment is actually when the gambler play on the casino and he experience winnings because no gambler would tell me that they love to lose and experience the wins is nothing but a total experience of entertainment but whereby the whole streak don otherwise then that I believe is no long an entertaining session of gambling and that's when you would probably quite the process.

Entertainment in gambling cannot be fully described in words because it is a feeling and many people find it strange why anyone can gamble just for entertainment because of course it is not fun when you lose money, but that is what gambling always makes players hope to get back play even before they have lose big money and I don;t think thats addictions.
While waiting for the results of a bet it can be very fun even if it turns out the result is the opposite, also when playing slots there is entertainment to be had while waiting to get a bonus even if it turns out the bonus is not as expected, but actually it's quite difficult to describe.

I guess gambling can always be an entertainment because you chose to play the game that you like, and you enjoyed it, hence you are entertained with that. However, it will be more entertaining if we gamble and end up winning some profits, as gambling that end up losing a lot might be even consider very frustrating instead. Although the word gambling itself denotes entertainment, but in reality we can only feel real entertainment if we are at the winning end, I think that’s how entertainment in gambling for me.

Of course that is when most gamblers are happy when they are winning and making profit. Everyone likes free money without stress, but that should not be the aim of us gambling, because if that is the case, we might not be able to control ourselves by seeing gambling activities as a means of entertainment and one will not see the fun in it.

Whatever you do and derive pleasure in it is entertainment, so if you are a gambler that don't get that vibes of fun when gambling, it means that you are not entertaining yourself but looking for a means to double your funds, which will be a disappointment to you.

Entertainment is not the only driving Force for which people Gamble. There are professional gamblers who engage in the activity as a means of livelihood or a side hustle. For these ones entertainment takes on a whole different meaning. If I am asked what entertainment in gambling is for me, I would say that entertainment in gambling for me is, engaging in the activity as a way to relax, have fun, bond with other humans, learn something new or not with the possibility of getting rewarded for it during a game through winning and where I do not win, I do not get worked up over it. I accept my loss and in no time forget about it and move on.

Entertainment is keeping the mind happy. so distracting yourself in the way the mind enjoys itself is a legitimate way to get entertainment.Gambling entertains us when we enjoy gambling games with attention. there are different types of games in gambling, some games can have a bad effect on us and we should avoid those games and play those games which can give us pleasure with less loss. It will reduce financial loss and provide entertainment. Gambling can be used in many ways so people who abuse gambling or become addicted to gambling cannot take entertainment in the hope of earning money.
