Over the time, I’ve seen several post, by users here who, claim that gambling is strictly for fun, even when one is making losses and I’ve paused to ask this question “Is there actually any fun in gambling especially when the losses are more than the winnings?”
Let’s be frank, there are several other things one can do for fun aside gambling and I understand that life its own is a risk but seeing claims that people see gambling as fun even when making losses is weird and I think it’s worth discussion as to know if truly people gamble strictly for fun without minding if they’re losing or winning
This question you've just asked only reminds me of the last female World Cup when the Nigerian Supper Falcons played against England. What most Nigerians around me did was to stake that England is going to win Nigeria in that match
And can you guess their thought process for making such prediction? They did that so if at the end of the day Nigeria wins, the excitement alone won't make them look at the money they had used in the gamble and if England wins, they know they've won in the gamble and will go back home with their money as a consolation for the loss in the world cup so you see that It was more of fun rather than literally looking for money. Some people just want to place their money on a particular team because of the faith they have in that team and regardless of the outcome, they don't take It seriously.
I’m sure you already know that at the end of day what they did was prediction and analysis as at the long run, they wanted to hit two birds with just one stone which wouldn’t be possible but whatever the case might be, I’m already on the opinion that more people are majorly into gambling to make profits and that can’t be over emphasized and no matter how much fun we claim we’re having, if we sincerely analyze the whole system m, you’ll notice that winning a bet comes with its own excitement which can’t be overlooked.
With this few points I think we shouldn’t argue much but try looking things from this perspective that people are more into gambling for the money than fun as other ma claim.
I find it interesting what the Nigerians did, in part they knew that the team was going to lose, but as a consolation they would have money in their hands, I think it is not bad at all, although it is very hard-hearted to do something like that, I know they can't support their own team, the truth is I'm not capable of doing something like that, even if I know that my national team team is going to lose because what I do is be able to support it even without betting, because one always keeps hope, Expensive, that was women's soccer and the truth is that it varies a lot, I prefer to watch men's soccer than women's soccer because women's soccer will always be a little more boring for me, and it's not because it's bad and it's just what I feel , but even so, I think that I would not bet against my country's team either, it would be something very contradictory, perhaps my conscience would not leave me at peace for having done something like that.
I know that feelings in a game should not exist because that deviates from any conscious analysis that is done about a sport and that is what we should avoid, because in part what we are going to risk is our money and that is something that we should Be careful, I think that no one likes to lose money and in a bet like this it is not enough because we will know if we lose it or not.
In a casino things can be very different because things are more focused on chance, slot games, roulette and that is merely pure luck, and that is what we should focus on, therefore when we are in the casino that is what we can expect, in sports events because not everything is luck.
