It's similar like spending money to go vacation, video games, holiday etc, if you don't feel fun, it's not for you.

This is entertaining to some people but isn't to others because I can make what entertains me to be making money and not spending money and since I'm looking for money, I can decide to do be doing that from gambling and that's is what makes me happy.

Entertainment is anything that makes you happy that you'll always want to do it over and over. Gambling is entertaining for me but not all the time. Gamblers that play for entertainment don't risk much when gambling because they are not looking for profits but want to enjoy the game that they're paying.
I think people gamble to make money don't enjoy gambling but are just doing it as that is their only hope to make money. If they had other options they will not be gambling for money. We don't have to tell people what is right to do and what is wrong because everyone has their own brains to think and if you want gambling to be your job, you can continue but have some fun too.

I normally tell people the best gambling games to get entertainment and catch some fun is sports betting. When gambling in sport games, you have the opportunity to rate the performance based on their current form and their head to head at their last meetings, and it make it seem as though the process is entirely easy to win. You can also bet on your team while watching the live match, and if luck get to your side and you win the bet, that is having double entertainment at the same time. Sport betting Is fun and their is no doubt it the best way of creating entertainment for me.

Some people will not agree with you because not everybody likes sports and is entertained by watching matches. I know a few people who get a lot of fun from betting against each other in video game matches. For instance, some of my friends gamble each other by playing mortal kombat or tekken.
I like poker and find it entertaining to play at a real table. Online poker bores me, but holding cards and throwing chips around can be great.

Because of the entertainment on soccer game, soccer is the number one game that has the highest fans in the world. Actually what you said are the real things in sport game's, when a gambler, mostly a sport fans is predicting his games, there's a kind of feelings that come that makes him or her to think that the games he's predicting is 100% sure but the other thing there is that there is not winning until the actual win time. No matter how you think the games and predictions are sure if the games are not yet ended it's not sure. And all this are what makes soccer games to be more entertaining.

There is no guarantee of 100% prediction in any type of gambling and it is best to avoid this kind of gambling analysis strategy, if you are committed to following 100% predictions then you are not ready to handle the risk if the prediction is not correct and will definitely lose very high funds on that bet.

So back to the basic point that gambling is just entertainment, so enjoy football matches and set appropriate gambling limits so that you don't experience big losses if your predictions are wrong.

Predictions are never guaranteed. that's why it's so exciting. There is joy in betting on cricket but even more fun and excitement is in betting on football. If you want to enjoy gambling, you should keep a budget of small amount because when someone loses money, no matter how much fun he gets from the game, losing money hurts him a lot. Because people cannot accept financial loss easily. No one can avoid losing in gambling. But if someone deposits that amount of money in gambling, the amount of money loss does not matter to him, then he can enjoy gambling without any fear. It will be great entertainment for him.

It's true that don't focus on income from gambling, just think that we are having fun spending time from gambling activities rather than focusing on seeing the results of gambling,
That's why most people are addicted because they are too focused on seeing profits compared to the risk of losing,

Focusing on just seeing the result can be addictive even just focusing on having fun alone can be a problem too because fun in some cases can turn out been addictive especially to those who spend so much time on it trying to have all the fun they want to get from their gambling experience or in any thing generally that is fun given, addiction isn't only in the light of gambling alone. Some people even with the risk, they still don't really care because they have set aside that amount of funds for gambling so they are willing to risk almost anything and even if they aren't focused on the risk they are getting involved with, they still stand the chances of turning out addicted to the gambling activities.

Literally, everyone sees clearly what gambling does to people. It takes thinking outside the box to escape gambling problem. Humans easily fail in things most people fail as well. Lots of people get addicted because a huge number of people are into addiction. Newbies for instance go into the game unprepared, yet assuring themselves they wouldn't get addicted, untill, soon, they'll be in addiction. Instead gamblers would calm down and learn ways to avoid addicted, they'll say within them that it's not possible for them to be addicted. Same happens when someone wins big. You'd notice that those who blamed the winner for squandering his money, will most definitely squander theirs whenever they hit the jackpot.

It sounds very interesting to me and I agree with your opinion that gambling as entertainment is that they place bets on sports matches so we can also express happiness when our favorite team will compete and of course we will be involved in placing bets there hoping that our favorite team will win.

And I agree with you that sports betting is very fun because we will both see directly the match between the opposing team and our favorite team playing against each other to win and besides that we will also see or predict quite easily who will be the winner when watching directly in the sports match.

I believe that players come to gambling to feel relaxed and make the bets they want. Nobody tells them what to do and they make their own decisions. You can visit the casino online, even while intoxicated, and no one will even make a comment, although I categorically do not recommend anyone to play in such a state. In general, I want to say that given our fast, full of information and stress life, where we bear a lot of responsibility, people come to gambling to unwind from this responsible life and at work, where there are a lot of responsibilities and demands. This is what makes many people come there, because they are always happy there and no one will say anything bad, they play pleasant music and beautiful visualization. But we must not forget that you have to pay for this entertainment, and sometimes a lot, so you need to be more careful with your entertainment and keep yourself under control.

Entertainment can be equivalent to satisfaction, people get fun with their gambling games and they keep playing because they are still not satisfied with the games, wins, wages and etc. there's a lot of factors. If you can see people quitting gambling because they are not getting entertained already they lose a lot of hope and fun in playing but this kind of entertainment has a hole in it because what about the people who gamble because they want to earn back their money for me I didn't considered this as a form of entertainment it will be shifted into greediness and lust to earn money.

Money is hard to get, we should be extremely careful whenever we're in the system because there's whole hurdles out there to refrained us from reaching top goals. You're absolutely correct, I concord with the main ideas outlined. Wins brings satisfaction and we have one goal and that's mainly ensuring our winning ratio surpassing losses. It's very important we know the main reason we're in the space and not scalping gambling as it we're nothing.

For me, casinos are both, the way of entertainment and the way of potentially earning a fortune. I play casino games because I enjoy the process, I enjoy when I roll and see the animation of the result. I also enjoy it very much when I play blackjack on live blackjack tables because I can interact with the BJ Dealers, chat with them, joke with them, sometimes win and sometimes lose. I know that I won't become a millionaire by building any gambling strategy but I know that I won't lose more than that I can afford to lose. So, gambling is fun for me and winning is only a bonus. If I lose, I look at it as a way of spending money on my favourite PlayStation disk.

That's exactly how gambling should be taken, it should be taken a way for people to have fun while knowing that they also can win significant amounts of money from it sometimes, there is no need for anyone to chase those wins because you don't get them by chasing them but it's all sudden and there is no guarantee for anyone to get those big wins, if you are lucky, you might manage to win something good one of these days when you are enjoying your gambling session.

It's a mistake to try and earn a lot of money from gambling. I've seen people planning to have a specific budget that they would use strategically to make money from gambling, they don't realize that it is not possible no matter how much money you use for it.

It is not possible to give a single definition of entertainment because there are different types of entertainment for different people. But a person's spending some time apart for peace of mind is considered as entertainment. Some people find their peace of mind in gambling or others find peace of mind in gardening. Some find peace of mind by fishing and hunting, or others find peace by going on long drives. Suppose a lonely person is always alone and has no one to entertain or entertain. If this lonely person can spend his lonely time by engaging in gambling then it will also be considered as a good pastime for him.

Tension, stress, and different emotions are mostly negative ones.
But I only see that with casino games and slots. Whenever I am on a losing streak I feel like I am being cheated and finding a way to come back seems to be impossible because our mind is filled with negative emotions like there's no way we could win such a big multiplier to bring our money back.

This simply means you do not engage in casino games and slots as a form of entertainment but rather as a way to earn money. I agree winning money is satisfactory and losing is frustrating, but, people who see casino games and slots as entertainment, they don't mind whether they win or lose but rather enjoy the ambiance, graphical effect, music, and the excitement of the possibility of hitting a good win.

Quote from: danherbias07 on June 22, 2024, 07:35:09 AM

In sports betting though, I don't feel this way. I can still enjoy the game even if I bet on the losing side and I can forget about it the next day like nothing really happened. I guess it depends on what gambling game we are playing because I see some who enjoys slots even though they are losing big.

True, entertainment is subjective. Different people have different kinds of things that entertain them. What you stated is one example. While you don't enjoy the thrills of casino games and slots if the result fails you, sports betting gives you a pleasant experience regardless of the outcome of you bet. While, in my case, I find sports betting boring, I enjoy playing slots regardless of my slots engagement outcome.

Quote from: Julien_Olynpic on June 23, 2024, 01:49:43 AM

If we get pleasure from gambling, then we must also clarify why we cannot get the same pleasure from free games. When it comes to free games, they are definitely played 100% for fun. After all, there is no possibility of enrichment, that is, there is no possibility of winning. If we play a game that we know for sure will not bring us a win, then it is impossible to doubt that this game is only for fun. However, with gambling, there is the possibility of winning. And we will always doubt that subconsciously we are playing this game not only for fun. Subconsciously we may hope to win.

People forget that there is no fun in loosing, what you get is overcrowded emotions and mix feelings of getting win or loss. Any time I have free time, I do hangout with some friends to play some PES and to be honest, I find that entertaining and fun than what most people will say they have fun in gambling, to some extent yes but the majority don't actually have the fun as they claim, they win or lose with the initial mindset of wanting to make money.

There is no way you will need $100 and you use that amount of money to bet and try to convince anyone that you are trying the have fun, you are betting more than you can afford to lose but when if you bet less than. $10 from that $100 balance you have, then I will believe you are really having fun but sadly, that's what majority of gamblers do and then hide under the pretense of fun thing.

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?

I agree with you that it is very difficult to define the word entertainment. Especially when it comes to gambling. I think entertainment is where a person has fun and that most importantly he does not have the goal of getting rich. Where there is a goal to win money, there will no longer be entertainment, there will no longer be complete enjoyment.
It is also worth noting that many people begin to perceive gambling as entertainment, but over time the pleasure goes away, and other, more difficult feelings remain.

Entertainment is anything from which we get fun and no entertainment is free of cost. Usually one has to spend money in order to get entertainment and that money is not refunded.

However, in gambling the context of entertainment is slightly different as here also we will have to invest/spend in order to get fun from gambling but the difference is that here we can get our money back with profits too and this makes this entertainment linked with the outcome of the gamble/bet. We will only be happy and entertained if we win the game but if we lose (and also lose our money), then the entertainment factor is just not there for most of the gamblers.

As a small example, when playing gambling, let's say we are playing golf or something else that is fun, of course we will spend money playing golf and looking for entertainment there and don't have to get back the money from what we spend to have fun, sometimes The value of getting pleasure or considering gambling as entertainment is not necessarily to get money in return for winnings in gambling. Every gambler must have experienced winning and also experiencing defeat. What must be understood is how we know when to gamble and when to stop gambling.

Everyone has different views about entertainment in gambling, what they think about gambling depends on their mindset, it all depends on each person's mindset because when they play gambling with the mindset that it is a fun game, they will definitely think that gambling is just just for entertainment, but if on the contrary they consider gambling as a source of income then they will not consider gambling as something fun, instead they will consider gambling as a place to make money, not as entertainment.

Yes, you seek entertainment to find pleasure, satisfaction and to relief from daily life's stress. That is something everyone needs to do in order keep their mood balanced and life going on. Some need more often, while others need less. And in case of gambling, that is where people find their pleasure through the possibility of finishing a session with more money than they firstly started.

It's wrong to consider it's only going to be fun if you end richer than you started. The right thing to do is to get entertained just by the fact you have the possibility of quitting richer than you begun. So, you get entertained not by the outcomes, but by the game itself in real time. You feel the excitement of not knowing the next result, the thrill of playing a random game which may surprise you at anytime, instead of focusing only on the final results.

That is where the entertainment nature of gambling lies. You live the moment.
