This is an example how to have fun gambling. Until you are doing it for fun, you will be OK. But it depends on person's self-control. When you get a big win, you could think "hey, I could make money with this". And when you start thinking like that, it's game over for fun.

For this word, "hey, I could make money with this", I've done that in a few years ago but that doesn't make me win more money, but coincidentally, I have to get lost the money. After thinking for a while, I realize that word can be a trigger for a gambler to feel that he is superior and unbeaten in the gambling, so that can attract him to play longer with more money.

Thus, after that experience, I never tried to follow that word again because that could I makes me lose the money, and I cannot enjoy my winning money. From that moment, if I win or lose, and the time is enough for me to playing gambling, I always stop gamble and leave the sites because I don't want to get more losses.

I am among those who think gambling is fun, because in my opinion gambling should be fun and not a threat. In my opinion gambling
is a threat because it is addictive, so it can have many negative effects. Therefore we must be able to limit in playing gambling, don't
overdo it. If you can limit yourself to playing gambling, I'm sure gambling will become a lot of fun.

Not all people do that bad result, many gamblers already know the risks & advantages of gambling from the beginning. So, they won't change their mind even they get big rewards/prizes. In my opinion, only a gambler who has less experience or a new gambler possibly changes their perception suddenly after earning money. Common gamblers must know that they won't earning money regularly, and it will be a disaster if you expect to earn money every day.

Seeing the gambling winnings as a source of income will be a bad habit and the person will do more for reaching that point in order to gain a sufficient amount for living with gambling rewards. Gambling sickness has not limited to earning regularly only some gamblers can borrow money for fulfilling their empty dreams, unfortunately.

Yes, I make money in other ways! Grin

For example, trading on an exchange, which can also be called gambling! Wink

And I bet on sports when there are the most interesting matches for me, which I would love to see!
Although I agree - a lot of professional players who make money on this case...

That's added fun when you actual make money while you consider it that you are gambling. What kind of sports you love to bet? The popular sports that we see here are the ff;

- Basketball
- Boxing
- Football
- Cricket
- Esports

Football betting is my favorite sports for gambling, i have an advantage due to my knowledge about football
I do try boxing as well, its 2 side of a coin.

Amd you didn't mention Tennis, it's risky but its an easy bet for me
Nadal, Federer and Djokovic has given me good wins by predicting they reach the quarterfinals of major trophies

And Nadal wining on clay has been mostly rewarding too

I think that gambling is fun until it becomes stressful. When you wake up in the morning and the first thing that you do is think about which matches you're gonna play, than it's a threat. But when you go out to walk your dog and you play a ticket for a buck or so, then it's more fun than a threat. I know a lot of people who does just that - every few days they play a ticket with 10 pairs and put a little money on it (under a dollar). They think of it as fun and I agree with them.

I prefer to use gambling like that way than to think about which matches I am going to play because at least, I don't treat gambling as the only way to make money, but I use gambling for having fun. When you can do that, you don't have to worry if gambling will change you become an addiction because you never think to make money from gambling.

If many people realize that, and they consider to try to change their mind, I guess that they can see that they have many opportunities to make money from another source. And they will see that gambling is created for having fun, and if they can make money from gambling, that will be a bonus for them.

Like any addiction, the game causes breaking.

A person very quickly gets used to those doses of hormones that he experiences during gambling, moreover, real money is at stake, which boosts the hormonal system even more due to stimulation of emotions.

At some point, a person may become irritable, nervous, moody, but all this will most likely be hidden from him.
It is very difficult to come to understand what exactly gambling is the cause of this condition, because during games you can feel good.

I agree with this. Many people feel they are happy while playing, and this is caused by a few wins. Slowly losing makes a person irritable even if they don't notice. They only think about happiness from the wins.

We can prevent that from happening if we stay discipline while gambling, have fun but always stay discipline .

As a gambler we have different level of entertainment, some only spend a little amount to have fun, while say spend big amount to feel the thrill, but like I said discipline matters and amount you risk does not matter as long as you know how to control yourself.

Definitely! Self-discipline is pretty important, but not just with gambling but with any activity that has the potential to make us addictive. I would say that gambling for fun is great, but gambling for thrill is bad and one can easily become addictive.

It will become a threat if you are having to much fun, just be sure to only spend what you can afford to lose and do not spend to much time on it, and always watch out your motivation, don't ever think of thinking that you can make money out of it, nobody can and nobody will make money out of it.

Not in general, for sure there are people who are good in terms of playing this business, though numbers of successful gamblers versus those who've got addicted and suffered from this vices is just an inch but in some instances those people do exist.
Having the right mentalities gives you the entertainment but always remember to set your limitations to avoid those bad effects of this activities.

There are few who are successful in gambling but success does not only mean you win or you make money as there are other people who are willing to lose their money just to have fun or to get the entertainment they desire, I guess that's also called a success.

Life is not fair, there are people who are rich that can burn their money in gambling without complaining when they lose because they can afford it but there are also gamblers who gambles a small amount of money only but in reality they can't afford to lose, they are just trying their luck win and these people are mostly the ones who will suffer in any lose.

Anything that is too much is very dangerous, you can't make gambling as your hobby where you want to have fun all the time as it's a very expensive hobby and risky as well. No one has infinite money so in the end we might still lose even if we are very reach, so let's be careful and if possible let's not put too much time in gambling, focus on other productive activities in life.

Gambling is done when you want to do pleasure not looking for profit as the main income because it is not good gambling is always synonymous with its defeat and therefore only once when you are bored then do the gambling.
I can not understand if there are people who rely on gambling as earning money especially if they are only limited money then it would be risky for him to run out of money I think I should stay away from gambling if you do not want to lose a lot of money.

There are 2 types of people who want to gamble their money, the one is looking for fun that want to kill his boredom and the other is full of greed who wants to earn money from it. I'm with the side of seeking enjoyment so for me gambling is not a threat for me and it helps me to have better quality of life. It can be only a threat if people will depend getting income through gambling only and this kind of scenario should we avoid.

Agree with you, it can be a threat depending on how people cope with it. I must say that it is not a threat now because I gamble but because I am doing that thing to avoid boredom and to strengthen my skills , it is also needs a critical thinking so that it we can make a good decision and strategy, it can only be a threat once the motivation turns into greediness.

I also did the same way as you, playing gambling mostly for fun or entertainment. But I'm surprised that gambling can make you have a better quality of life. So far, I didn't realize it in my gambling activity. So, please explain a bit to me, how you can get a quality life through gambling?

Only a stupid man who relies on gambling for regular income. If someone really does it, it means he expects in luck for earning income. It is because of many gambling games are truly luck-based, so it will be hard expecting to beat them (win). People said that don't expect too much to win, just enjoy the games for entertainment purpose. If you win, just consider it as a bonus.

For some people it is a threat, it could ruin your life

We can try to use gambling for fun, and never use gambling for making money. That is the only way we can enjoy gambling without becoming addicting. But unfortunately, many people slowly become addicted when they don't care about controlling themselves. Once they spend more money, they will be inside the gambling circle, and it is hard to see that we are addicted because all we want is to make money through gambling.

People who can't classified the difference between enjoying and being greedy to aimed more money will continue to make mistakes.
Only those who can really control emotions and can keep everything in shape will enjoy and be entertained while playing inside any
types of gambling. Most of the time gamblers excess from their limitations and start the problem of addictions.

If that is happening to them, then they will get what they did, and the result will be the loss of the money without takes too long. We hope that when we are playing gambling, we are given the power to control our emotions, so that doesn't impact worst to us. Excessing the limitations will be the problem to every gambler so gambling will be the threat for them without excuse.
