Defeat is never fun for you. The taste of defeat is always bitter because everyone wants to win and no one wants to lose. Winning at gambling will boost your self-confidence and losing at gambling will create resentment towards your gambling skills and luck. Gamblers are such that they want to gamble even if they win by gambling and they want to win even if they lose money by gambling win or lose both these things attract a gambler to gamble. The reason we say that we should take gambling as fun is so that gamblers do not become addicted to gambling. If a gambler can gamble without becoming addicted to gambling then he can enjoy gambling.

No one feels happy if they lose when gambling, especially if they experience a big loss, people who experience something like this will definitely feel that they are careless because they wasted too much money. But if the person gambling is a rich person, they may not really care about losing because their goal is just to find fun. Even when they lose, they will feel normal and still be able to continue gambling and for lower middle class people whose initial goal is to look for fun and make a profit, of course. feel unhappy if you experience continuous defeat.

Maybe it seems strange for people who feel happy when they lose and maybe everyone has different pleasures in looking for entertainment. There are people who really enjoy gambling no matter how much money they lose because usually people who see it as fun are good at managing their expenses to a minimum maybe it's possible and still be able to enjoy the joy of gambling.

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 it’s 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
Absolutely, you're right. There are many other things people can do for entertainment besides gambling. For the most part, people view gambling as a form of entertainment, but when you get caught up in the game, winning and losing money, at that point, gambling is no longer just for entertainment. It can become a burden or even develop into an addictive habit. But do you agree with me that forms of entertainment with a strong sense of competition or involving money tend to attract more participants? It's the same for you and me; if entertainment is dull, it's hard to bring a sense of excitement.
Perhaps, for you and me, the amount of money lost in gambling is significant, impacting our daily life profoundly. However, for that person, it might be nothing, and they still see the lost amount within the scope of their entertainment. Therefore, whether losing in gambling is genuinely enjoyable or not depends on the position and circumstances of each person. It's challenging to assess if others find it enjoyable based on our own circumstances.

     -   There are other gamblers who have that as their reason why they gamble, but most gamblers of course want to win, and some even pray for luck in gambling. Imagine that he even prayed that he would win a large sum of money by gambling. It's as if the god he approached is also a gambler, hehehe.

But anyway, of course, we can't blame others if that's their goal; the reason they gamble is because it's for money. And these types of gamblers obviously do not become happy if they finish a day of gambling without taking home any winnings. And gamblers who are dependent on casino or gambling earnings know that.

It's not fun when you concentrate on making money and forget the fun side of playing in casinos, that's too much pressure you put on yourself when you know the house has an edge and the casino is a business where it thrives when their players are losing their bets if you're looking for a guaranteed winning in gambling then it's not for you, a casino is a take a chance platform, and it's up to you to make it fun or not.

It is not weird it's the fact that we have to accept that when it comes to gambling against a casino, they have an edge, and if you cannot bear that fact then don't play but others do because the platform is a place that challenge our curiosity if we're going to be lucky or not, humans like taking a chance and casino is both taking a chance and enjoying it.

Losing is like spending for something that is fun and entertaining. If you go to an amusement park to have fun, you will lose money. If you watch a movie and be entertained, you will also lose money. This is like gambling. You will play, you will have fun, but you will also spend money. If you lose, that would not make you feel happy, but the game itself made you happy. If you win, that would be a bonus. You had fun and earned money. But that is not the rule in gambling. More often than not, you would lose.

There is no fun in losing a gambling instead it affects your mental state if you are not careful with the amount you use to gamble so perhaps that's the reason why is always advisable to gamble with the money that cannot have a negative influence on you if is being lost on the gambling, so actually I don't think there are people who derives pleasure on losing there gambling but however one thing I no is that losing on gambling is inevitable, a normal thing that always happen to every gamblers but saying that is a fun to lose a bet is totally on acceptable because for me irrespective of how small the amount of money I use on gambling if I lost it on the process I always feel bad, so perhaps the only gamblers that can feel happy losing there bet are those gamblers that intentionally decided to lose the money deliberately.
I had to quote your entire post because I love the fact that you were seeing things from my angle and not just trying to argue and most times when I rise an issue, I try as much as possible to avoid arguments but rather a peaceful deliberation and people have been writing as if I’m against the fact that gambling is fun which I’m not but rather what I was trying to say was that people shouldn’t act like they aren’t concerned about their losses especially when they are much simply because they claim they’re having fun when there are several activities one can do without having to risk their hard earned money and still get more entertained than gambling.
Gambling is programmed for a player to loss which is inevitable but I thinking balancing your losses with your winnings gives the actually fun.

And why on earth will someone keeps gambling for fun at a time losing seriously and still continue to gamble and someone like me can't keep watching while I waste my hard earned money to gamble while keep saying I am doing that for fun indirectly I am deceiving myself no else knows how much you lost except you make it public and why must I continue to gamble even at lost I my insane or what. I don't even find it funny with the BTC network congestion to pay transactions fee talk less of using my money to keep gambling and lose then will pick up courage to say is fun.

Of course, people won't admit it to themselves that they are in jeopardy seeing their hard-earned down the drain.
At the back of their mind, they want to recover the losses and would continue as much as they can to get back such losses.
So when you are already in that stage, wanting to recover your money, I don't think that there's fun on that anymore.
Your heart is on the rush because you want to win to get those money, but usually it ends in a bad turn.

Can we call it chasing profit after lose?
Yes it's obvious that there are lots of people in this condition instead of to back off they will consider how much they have spent how far they have gone backing off is like accepting defeats , and yes, I will rather accept that defeats than going further to lose all my money and pretend as if I am having fun. What kind of fun is that while there is fire on the mountain instead of me taking my race and leave the casino site or gambling house I will then seat tight there to look and waste my precious hard earned money all in the name gambling for fun. I won't support even advice a close friends to do that, that is stupidity in the highest order.

I would make this argument on multiple thread topics because the game is separate from the money, dont be all about the money and nothing else as you will be easily played out and will frustrate yourself imo.      You can lose and gain at the same time, lose money gain experience, gain knowledge of how better to play in future this can be said to be a positive in sum total despite costing money perhaps consider it a lesson.
  This is a large part of why I would recommend to start humble with any game, be ready to lose when the game odds are against you.  Gain the weight of the game in your hand so you can aim better is how I phrase maybe every game is random but I personally I enjoy a game I can feel has a path to glory  Grin.  If starting small, the lessons are cheaper then you can bet more with greater experience and knowledge, the gains will be greater then cost you.    Biggest cost should really be your time and effort, number one reason to lose is poor patience and just wanting everything immediately.    I think lack of patience is no fun but people have to play how they feel best this is just my scenario for building a better chance of success, theres never any guarantees hence patience is so helpful imo.

The loss of game is also the part of the game,but it was the emotional part to the loser.Because they may had loss the money which was need to pay their children school fee or medical expenses money.Even it was the rent money,the gambler may involve that money to earn more money from the game.But if the gambler had not have enough luck while playing,it may leads to the loss.So it was essential to the gambler to use the free money from the monthly expenses.This also give the peaceful game to the gambler in gambling.

If winning is the only thing available in gambling, then gambling won't be fun enough. Both the winning and the losing sum up the fun part of gambling together. If you are just actively winning in gambling and it turns out to be a usual thing, you will notice that even when you win another game after your previous one, there will be no excitement or celebration for that winning.
 
The love we have for the game aside, which is one thing that makes many get involved in gambling in the first place, the winning and losing spice up the whole thing, and it's gives it a total different level of fun.
 
We know that no matter how small the amount we wager, no one is ever completely happy that they lose money to gambling, but we all rejoice that, no matter how wealthy you appear, when you win from gambling, it gives you a different level of joy and motivation to continue.

When doing gambling then it would be always best that you should only make use of the amounts that you can afford to lose and never ever make spend of the hard earned money that you do have
just like on what you had mentioned. On the time that you would be experiencing consecutive loses then it would really be that resulting into that kind of impulsive emotion on which it might lead up into those actions on which wouldnt really be that recommended on doing so. Losing in gambling is never been fun and never been giving that good feeling and this is why it would be always
best that you should really be that you do always allocate the funds that you are really that willing to lose. Losing isnt fun but the leisure you do get in gambling is something that you are
paying on, this is what you should imagine.

When a person visits a gambling shop with the intention of making money for himself, he or she will not find gambling fun if they lose. However, when a person gambles for fun alone, they won't feel guilty about their losses because they will only bet with money they can afford to lose.
I got your point and I couldn’t agree any less with you but the truth is hat here are several other things one can do to stay entertained aside gambling that has to do with fun and I’ve seen several post by users who claim if they’re losing is also a part of the fun and I think they aren’t sincere to themselves and away from not wanting to sound odd, I think a lot of people secretly agree that there is at least a tiny hope of making profits while staking a game and there is always a special joy and feeling that comes with winning and no matter how much joy and fun we claim we have in gambling, there would be some points when you wish you never lost a particular bet which is also a clear evidence that we have at least a tiny desire to make money while having fun and believe me that the major fun in gambling comes with winning.

~snip~
It’s not fun to lose your hard earned money but then again, its like buying things for you to make money since gambling is more about losses and there’s no guarantee to make profit at all. Gamblers have to accept that if you gamble, your chance of losing are high so better to enjoy the moment than to stress yourself about winning because it will always depend on your luck.
I also agree with you and that is why it is always advised that we only gamble with money we can afford to lose and this very dating points to the fact that as a gambler, you’re expected to loss more than win and this should be a first stance to make us avoid gambling but we already grounded in the mentality of making a stress free money which seems gambling offers which isn’t all true.
The fun in gambling is rooted in winning

we can't get rid of the feeling of being disappointments when we lose in something but if we look back, we had fun while doing it, it's just that we really expect something so when the thing we expect doesn't happen, it ends up in sadness, failures and self pity. Gambling is made for entertainment and one way of gaining profits, It has a double purpose to a person and It's up to you what will you prefer to prioritize? Gaining profit or having fun?
No expectation leass to nothing to lose, this applies here. Losing can lead to disappointment is a realistic aspect of any competitive or uncertain activity. It's a natural human response to feel upset when expectations are not met, especially when one invests time, effort, or resources into something with the hope of achieving a desired outcome. This emotional response is not exclusive to gambling but extends to various aspects of life where expectations play a role.

But then, When you emphasize the enjoyment deriving from the activity, the positive experiences and fun had during the process should not be overlooked. This viewpoint aligns with the idea that the journey can be as valuable as the destination. In the context of gambling, this could include the thrill of uncertainty, the social aspect of the activity, and the overall entertainment value. Some may see gambling primarily as a form of entertainment, similar to going to a movie or a concert, while others may view it as an opportunity for financial gain.

I think if you take gambling too seriously it will be detrimental to yourself.  I do have fun gambling even when I lose.  Putting a small amount of money on a sports game makes it real fun to watch and be able to cheer for one side when you otherwise wouldn't have watched the game.  Key is knowing you can lose the money and be OK with that.  Not saying it's not better to win but I use gambling as a form of entertainment.

“Is there actually any fun in gambling especially when the losses are more than the winnings?”

As someone who gambles for fun, I would like to answer this question. Yes, gambling is a form of fun for me but I cannot deny that I always think about the possibility of making big winnings when I gamble. Although, as I mentioned, I think about the possibility of making big winnings when I gamble, I can easily say that I never get upset when I consume my entire balance since I always gamble with an amount that I wouldn't be upset about if I lost, depending on my budget.

Matches left to the last minute in sports betting, the excitement of the roulette wheel spinning, the adrenaline I release when I approach 21 and ask for a card and the spin of slot machines have never been more than a form of fun for me. As I mentioned, when I gamble I play knowing that the chances of a big win are very low and I just have fun with the excitement of this process.

It wouldn't be wrong to say that gambling is fun for me because I gamble regularly but in a way that doesn't strain my budget and I never run out of balance and then gamble again like an addict.
