I think it depends on the gambler because some of us are gambling because of the money or the profit,
While there are some gamblers who just wants to have fun in gambling .To be honest when I am gambling I am really there for the fun not for the profit,
That's why every time that I would gamble I would just send a small amount in the site.
There are two kinds of person in gambling, one is the rich and other one is seeking for money, so here is the difference when they are playing gambling. Obviously when you have said that money is not everything in gambling then you are talking about the rich man playing gambling, and the other way around, those who are playin just for fun might just killing some time because they are not doing anything at all and they are bored.
Yes there is some gamblers is just for fun is not to find the advantage like you, but I’m not a gamblers so I don’t know a sensation gambled good for pleasure or advantages, is the money is not the one everything in the gambling, because the risk of any kind can to gambling not only risked money alone
I assume that you said that because you've just playing gambling when you feel to do so, that is why you also shared your opinion about OP's topic. I could say I'm also like you, there are time that I'm playing gambling like I needed the funds and sometimes I'm just playing it just to have pastime or while I'm waiting for the post interval.
