Different people have their agenda's for gambling, entertainment can't be the only driving force, their are people who gamble for fun, they don't bother about the amount of profits they make from it cause they're already wealthy, I've seen someone who decided to bet against his team to prove to his friends that they'll lose cause they're not good enough to beat their opponents, and their are still people who gamble for the money and are always chasing the jackpot, and you'll also hear that people take it as a side hustle. All these are different reasons why people gamble but the main goal should be understanding the game and avoiding much loses cause no matter the reason anyone gambles for, having excess loss on a regular shouldn't be an option, nobody should gladly lose money whether rich or poor.

you might be right. Gamblers may consider themselves having fun gambling or even a side job. but the gambler's target is still to chase victory. No matter what losses you get, you won't feel happy if you don't win. Even in today's online games, when you lose you will only be left with anger and anxiety inside you. conversely, when you win, you will get pleasure.
what differentiates it may be the gambler's attitude after the loss obtained from the game. When we consider gambling as a side job, then you will feel like you don't get paid when you work. and each gambler may respond differently when in such a situation.

You are getting this all wrong, and it shows you are speaking biasedly from the angle of a negative and devasted gambler, but this is not particularly true for all situations. Truly, some gamblers may be deceiving themselves to be having fun in it, but I tell you, some are sincerely having fun in it regardless of what you think. And since you are not them or have not had the privilege to be a friend of any of them, you may never know.

For instance, it is my sports betting that I take seriously for the money, so your view may apply. But for my casino gambling, judging by the nature of the casino itself, I've resorted to gambling only for fun in it, or else, I will be deceiving myself. With that mindset alone, I was able to be careful with it and wager a ridiculously low amount of money for the fun's sake. Such an amount can never hurt me no matter what I lose and I do this often when I feel like visiting the casino branch which will not stop.

My bankroll may even last more than 2 months in the account which makes it well-planned and for a purpose. There are many like me as well, so you don't always say for everybody as if they act, feel and plan the same way.

Abstractly, dependence on entertainment leads to addiction. It stays uncertain to line up every entertainment gambler as responsible or addiction proof. I admit that that compulsive behavior controls a stronghold of every single player's brain. Entertainment without gambling is incomplete for millions of sport men. And gambling must come with slightly imaginable wins to keep the fun rolling. However, with zero doubt, it's admissible to acknowledge players who carefree on the outputs emerging from their predictions; strictly on fun. Unfortunately, they all belong to a minority group, and if it wasn't for this challenge, the entire gambling community wouldn't have consisted of too many troubles.

Yes, and for other types of entertainment that are not risky, for example, maybe that is not a problem, but if it turns out to be gambling then of course the impact of the risk is very large because it involves money and risk. As I said before, when someone comes with the intention of looking for entertainment then there is little chance of ending up with an addiction, but that doesn't mean it's impossible either, because in gambling anything can happen, especially changes in perspective that can occur over time when a gambler's awareness starting to weaken.

But on the other hand, yes, as you believe that gamblers who come by ignoring the thought of "doubling up" are really a minority in gambling, because most of them dedicate themselves more to always trying to make money in it, I understand that gambling does provide every gambler has the opportunity to win but when they continue to focus on that goal then of course it could be a disaster in the future.

Anything goes in gambling for its balanced control on player's emotions. Money builds connections with people's minds. We hardly forget those we lent our money to, they keep appearing on our daily thoughts. It's better to dash out money, than lend it. The later affects us emotionally, and could make us go extra length to get the person pay back the funds. Same applies to gamblers who don't assume they dashed out money to the casino. Instead play aggressively to win back their lost money. Entertainment in a simple term under this context is solely based on the ability to forgo the money spent in a casino. And only a few people can let go of this thoughts.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody

Entertainment is something that kills time and makes you feel good in the end. A great example is going to the movies. You spend some time, have fun and when it ends you feel satisfaction. You go home feeling good and go to bed happy and whole, looking forward to another day. Most people feel this way after winning and taking money home. They go to bed happy and excited, feeling like winners.
As you can see this is pretty easy to explain. If you feel bad after gambling it shouldn't be called entertainment.

If that is the way you view it then no one can really say anything about it, however gambling is considered part of the entertainment industry and the majority of people will agree that it is a form of entertainment, after all when you go see a movie you need to pay for the tickets, food, drinks and the gasoline to get there, which is a significant expense, so just because the money that you can spend while gambling is variable, it does not change the fact that you are spending that money to get some fun out of it.

But the difference between gambling and other forms of entertainment is that we can make money from it, while watching movies and listening to music we just spend and spend money. Because that difference has caused many people to abuse it and turn it into a place to make money or a place to get rich quickly, not a place for entertainment. Gambling was created for entertainment purposes but many people do not use it for its original purpose and its reputation is damaged.

Have we ever seen anyone addicted to listening to music or watching movies to the point of bankruptcy ? But with gambling , if they cannot control themselves, they will lose money and even go bankrupt . That is why many countries do not consider gambling as entertainment , and even ban it because it can cause social evils. This is unfair to gambling but there is no way we can change people's minds .

Gambling's not your typical activity, guys. It raises your heart rate but breaks you in the hospital. Gambling is more than amusement. Primal, addicting urge wrapped in easy money. Gambling can take everything from you, including your sanity, unlike movies or music

Individual freedom is essential, but gambling's downside is clear. More than "losing some money". It's about broken families, bankruptcies, and crumbling lives. Countries may restrict gambling, but it's not because they're evil. Their goal is to protect their people from a social tragedy. Not a loaded rifle in your face, entertainment should be a chilled beer on a hot day. "Is the thrill really worth the potential devastation?" we must ask ourselves when gambling

Gambling can be fun or entertaining depending on how you are playing your games. People can also gamble because they want to have fun therefore do not think that everybody that is gambling is only doing that because they want to make money. Entertainment is anything that you can do that will make you to be happy, There are many people gambling because they want to make money as they think gambling is a good way to make money due to the things they hear around them but most people that have this mindset lose when they gamble as they do not have discipline and do not follow gambling rules and regulations. When Gambling and you do not plan how you are going to use your money so you do not finish them, you will go broke very fast. Gambling without having the mindset that you must make money from your bets is what I will consider to be gambling for entertainment.

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. 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.
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?

Different people have their agenda's for gambling, entertainment can't be the only driving force, their are people who gamble for fun, they don't bother about the amount of profits they make from it cause they're already wealthy, I've seen someone who decided to bet against his team to prove to his friends that they'll lose cause they're not good enough to beat their opponents, and their are still people who gamble for the money and are always chasing the jackpot, and you'll also hear that people take it as a side hustle. All these are different reasons why people gamble but the main goal should be understanding the game and avoiding much loses cause no matter the reason anyone gambles for, having excess loss on a regular shouldn't be an option, nobody should gladly lose money whether rich or poor.

In essence, if only they understood the game, especially the concept of winning in gambling and were also aware of the risks, then they should not make themselves so impulsive, meaning that it is very likely that if everyone used their common sense properly and correctly in terms of understanding what and how gambling actually is, then only there is one option they will choose, namely gambling with the intention and aim of seeking entertainment.

The reason is clear as you said that it is a fact that everyone certainly does not want to experience losing a lot of money, therefore if they can use their common sense well when thinking then there should only be one better choice if they really want to stay involved in This activity is gambling for fun. The best approach is not to make winning a priority but rather to consider that it is nothing more than a bonus that comes by chance.

Entertainment covers a wide range of fields - it can include watching a move, going ice skating, playing in an arcade, taking a jetski out on the water and even playing games in a casino or online. It's about how you approach it and how you extract yourself from it that matters. It is definitely easier to get hooked on a the thrill of winning (while ignoring the losing) that playing casino games can give you, much rather than taking off a pair of ice skates and going home. However if you have a lot of self control then all of those things can provide entertainment without being harmful, it's the key to a good life - all things in moderation. If greed is your driving force then the casinos will obligingly clear your bank account.

Being entertained should come easy & natural, you should put yourself in the right setting to be entertained and just be drawn in by sheer curiosity and over joyous feelings over what you are doing / watching etc etc. Entertainment has become synonymous with gambling though since it is a form of entertainment. Lots of folks don't gamble to get entertained tho and addicts surely don't find it entertaining if they aren't winning but sadly that is how it goes most of the time.

Quote

I don't know if it is about me alone or what? but I don't see gambling as entertainment at all. Entertainment has to do with minimal effort and cognitive involvement as compared to gambling. I view entertainment as something you shouldn't bear much responsibility for the actions and outcomes, but such cannot be said about gambling. Entertainments can be things like horse riding, seeing a movie and going for live shows.

Any venture that has a possibility of building unnecessary tension and unplanned loss of money is not an entertainment, you can do it for fun and to ease your brain of some stress, but in reality you are not being entertained.

If that is the way you view it then no one can really say anything about it, however gambling is considered part of the entertainment industry and the majority of people will agree that it is a form of entertainment, after all when you go see a movie you need to pay for the tickets, food, drinks and the gasoline to get there, which is a significant expense, so just because the money that you can spend while gambling is variable, it does not change the fact that you are spending that money to get some fun out of it.

Never said it is not entertainment, but to me I don't view it as one since I loose funds and there are so much cognitive involvements. yes we pay for movie tickets to gain entry, sit and watch the actors delight us, right? and not go to be auditioned ourselves. Gambling is very entertaining when I'm not the one gambling, when I watch my friends gamble and witness their shouts of joy and anger, I laugh my heart out and really get entertained, but as soon as I get involved, my entertainment ends. I might have fun in the process, but I'm least entertained while gambling.

Well that's a strange definition for entertainement. If i take your example to elsewhere, you might see it too:

For example computer games require effort and ton on cognitive involvement, and i would bet majority of the people see that as entairnement. And people are literally gambling with esports these days as well. Poker playing is definitely entertaining, especially when we do it live, and chess as well. It requires lots of effort and people play it even when there's not money involved, to entertain themselves. Same goes to most board games, ice hockey, and even that horse riding requires skills and effort to learn.

All these sports are entertaining, yes I play sports games online from car racing, football competitions, mission games and a lot of them, they are really entertaining until i stake on it, then suddenly I'm under some strange pressure to win lest my funds are gone and I do this repeatedly until I'm tired and quit before I empty my bankroll to some of those Indian boys who are too good to be challenged because of the many cheats they use in online games.

My take is simple, as soon as I start gambling on those entertainments, It stops being entertaining to me and I'm suddenly over serious.

We indulged in activities that brings joys and profits to our face and pocket and entertainment is fun at free time. The system that evolved gambling is filled with traffic and our ultimate chance to look out for ourselves because losses are definitely the risks that will be triggered if we fail completely in the system. Gambling is enlisted to be in the category for entertainment. It's derived from our different opinion and it's advisable we look out for the potential dangers and profits it will generate for everyone.

Gambling is parts of entertainment so we don't have to uses gambling as a way to make money because we will not have a big chance to make money from gambling. If we know that gambling is an entertainment, we should uses it to have fun. We also know when we must stops playing gambling especially if we already use some money to gambling. We will not push ourselves to keeps playing gambling because that can makes us lose more money.

Playing gambling is like other activities that we do in our daily life but playing gambling doesn't needs to do too often to avoids the big lose. Besides that, we must avoids the gambling addiction that can happens to us especially if we use gambling too often with much money. If we can treat gambling properly like an entertainment, we will not have a problem and can still enjoy playing gambling as an entertainment.

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.

I don't think it is only rich people that sees gambling to be an entertainment, any person can see gambling to be an entertainment. It is just a matter of mindset, it is not all rich people that sees to be entertaining, some are addicted because of the manner they gamble, some even feel regret when they lose in gambling when they play with the amount they can't afford to lose. Gambling was never made for a particular set of people, if you don't understand it very well it can affect one negatively no matter who you whether poor or rich.

Giving can be a form of entertainment to people that are poor so far as they understand it and know what they are supposed to play, even if the bet lose they won't be affected because they understand the game well.

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.

any gambler who takes gambling as a means of survival I think that person most be addicted gambler, its clear that some certain person's takes gambling as means of entertainment and cruise and some see gambling as something will use for making money, but for me I seems those people who seems gambling as entrainment doesn't care or bother of amount they have spent in gambling, myself gambling is like a game of trials and also entertainment but if you see it as way of sustainable of life its lift for the person and if you seems gambling as a way of generating income is also the person's concern.

Or maybe entertainment for you is something else?

Sometimes reading people’s comments here about entertainment in gambling makes me confused, your topic here creates a lot of different perspectives of gamblers about this matter. I believe that many of us here, are not aware of the right meaning of entertainment in gambling, since most of us are only seeing this feeling when it comes to winning or the outcome of a casino session.

For me personally, entertainment disappears the second when someone becomes an addict, for daily or weekly gamblers who would take a small percentage of their salary or outcome and enjoy it in some gambling sessions without caring too much about winning or losing, that’s what we call entertainment, however, when someone else starts to gamble chasing his losses with much stress involved in his activity, it is not entertainment.
