Topic: Is there any fun in losing while gambling - page 24. (Read 5698 times)

Well, I call it indifference or apathy because people to some extent can feel apathy towards lossing some money, as I explained. Would you lose your sleep if someone told you that you just lost 0,05$ in your bank account? I don't think you would.
Though, by being indifferent or growing apathetic to losses I don't mean we are supposed to suddenly become irresponsible and treat money as it was monopoly cash and not to worry about it, that is not the idea I want to transmit with what I say.

Also, understanding losses does not guarantee one is going to have a positive experience of gambling. Someone could understand the consequences of their losses or possible losses when placing a bet, and still over react or get depressed when the result turns against them, there is where one needs to emotionally face the consequences in the way I described. Though, it would be better just to adjust the wager according to the consequences one can mentally handle, when people skips that step, the problems start to accumulate, for obvious reasons.

Indifference to losses? That's a skill, but not about money. management, discipline, and emotional and response management are key. You treat indifference like a bank account switch. That's not true

Not becoming numb to losses, but understanding them. A loss is a lesson, a chance to improve and grow. Responsible money management is important, but so are expectations and emotions. That's the jackpot

Supporting healthy gambling promotes resilience, wisdom, and the ability to enjoy the game. Let's change the story. Not indifference, but educated engagement and emotional intelligence. The real wins are there

I think that not gambling any longer is not a solution. For instance, if I sell my laptop and use the money to gamble and then lose it, if I stop gambling, does it take away the fact that my laptop was sold and used for gambling? Of course not. The problem remains with the gambler whether he stops or not. If he stops, he must seek another alternative, either selling another property to replace his laptop if the laptop is so important to him or borrowing money. If he borrows money, he becomes a debtor and must seek a way to pay it back. On the other hand, if he continues gambling maybe he will win. But then, instead of advocating that a gambler shouldn`t gamble anymore because of the possibility of experiencing more loss, it will be more profitable for the gambler to set a limitation and stick to it.

Well, I managed to find a way to mitigate some of the losses. I bought some FUN, staked it on freebitcoin, and now I use the rewards in order to fund the betting and gambling I do. Every other time I lost in the past, I didn't have any fun at all, nor do I think losing can ever be fun

Having fun is a mental decision. A gambler who has conditioned himself to be happy, whether lose or win, would enjoy his stay in the casino with lesser troubles to deal with. While those who get disturbed after multiple loses go home wearing a frowned face, he'd be smiling over his loses and the fun he had while losing his money. When seen outside the gate of the casino, he wouldn't be seen as a person who lost money. Many would think he won some big amount of money. Those who look sad, we easily be tagged losers, which is exactly what they are, because of the sadness in them. Going home happily after gambling is a win for the gambler. Because it benefitted his health, and his money wasn't a waste. Disappointments erupts when the gambler winning expectant wasn't achieved or reached. All his dreams and thoughts of how he'd spend his own money, won't go with it. The player tends to try another day, until he gets to the point where he thinks those dreams of his has been reached.

We enchanced our ability to smile in the system, though it's not easy run but we have to fight for good results. Happiness in gambling when one is milking the system steadily without having any challenges or fears, that's the bigger picture of every gambler in the system. Perhaps we can only wished for gigantic profits but we can not make it work out because we don't control the system, and we know how broad the system is, so we shouldn't think of manipulation. There's no fun in loss, because the gambler tends to developed sad movies and we know what it means.

Others are not like this because instead of being sad, they acknowledge their loss as something that reminds them about their greater goal in life and makes them leave their bad habits at once whenever they suffer a huge loss. This happened to some of my friends when they decided to quit and choose to go abroad in order to work and earn some money along with moving on from their past bad habits here in our country, some of them became successful and completely forgot their past and changes the way they treat money because of their experiences on their works, while others get back to their old self when they get home and quickly influenced by their old homies.

If losing when gambling doesn't have any right to be enjoyable, perhaps you misperceive the words "gambling just for fun" in these words I interpret it as a memory so as not to go too far in gambling, the memory in question is like losing with the ability to lose and immediately stop, win, don't be greedy and stop immediately, this is my opinion, I don't know what others think about it

A balanced view of gambling is refreshing. I've always thought gambling could be fun if done right. Not just the result, but the experience.

Those that gamble as a hobby have healthier connections with it, in my experience. Like a game, you enjoy the process, adrenaline, social contact, and winning! Always play responsibly. As you said, neutrality is essential. It keeps gambling entertaining and removes the strain of "winning at any costs".

Remember that gambling is social interaction. Its a way to bond, share, and escape. Some gamble socially, which is a great way to keep it fun and safe. After all, isnt life about enjoying the little things, like a dice roll or wheel spin?

I think any one who wants to start gambling should know before gambling that there must be losses even more than winning in most cases that's why it is said that a person shouldn't be addicted to gambling or anything that's not profitable to them. Untill you have the believe that you aren't stopping even when you keep losing I don't think anyone who's losing in gambling will ever feel happy anyday. Even when you gamble with the amount you can afford to lose it doesn't make you to be happy when you lose because no amount is too small to be losing to a gambling company on a daily so I will advise people to stop relying on gambling because the player is always the loser.

Correct, nobody wants to experiment losses, in the mind of the regular gambler, the ideal session in a casino would be one where they are extremely lucky and besides having fun they also manage to pull off some life changing winning amount, a big jackpot. Though, we all know that won't be the case of the vast majority of gambling enthusiasts.
In reality, I believe it would be pretty good if gamblers could treat their losses with indifference, instead of feeling sad or depressed about them. We as human beings are capable of indifference and apathy, but that depends on our economical status. Nobody feels sad or depressed for losing a dime, though in the eyes of many losing a 100$ bill is a tragedy which will remain in their minds for a very long time (not in the eyes of the millionaires though).
If we learn how to feel apathy when facing losses and feel joy when the unexpected winnings, then we will enjoy more our gambling sessions.

Letting out the negatives and embracing the positives, and of course, managing our money in a responsible way so those losses won't affect the rest of our daily obligations and duties.
Those are my two satoshis in this matter.  

that's right, those who gamble and experience defeat will of course be sad and disappointed, as much as possible there are people who can accept their defeat, maybe they won't mind it, but not happily, because in my opinion there is no loss that can make someone happy, especially Gambling is related to money, whereas all gamblers who gamble want money, so if they lose it means they are sad, not happy.

not to mention the wrong mindset about gambling, because there are people who gamble with an inappropriate mindset that makes them annoyed and reaches a point where they cannot accept their losses. and it could also trigger them to gamble again with the aim of recovering losses, but what must be paid attention to is, this is certainly not true, because the more losses they incur, the greater the feeling of disappointment and sadness they will feel. feel it.

Losing doesn't make a person happy in anything, you'll feel sad and disappointed, it's a natural feeling, but how long you stay down is what matters, some people recover from loses faster than others. If you go into gambling with a mindset that it's fun and that loses are part of the outcome of games and be sincere to yourself that it happens more often than winnings, then it wouldn't hit you so hard if it happens. If a gambler can gamble responsibly and be disciplined to bet the amount that he can afford to loose, then continuous loses can not affect him that much, he'd understand that it's the way gambling is, and he'd be hopeful that winning days will come.

It's not weird at all. Many players treat gambling as fun, not just because they're spending money. It is not unlike when you go to a carnival or amusement park. There, you are going to spend money without any expectation of getting it back. However, in a casino, it's a different case. You can have fun while also having the chance that the money you've spent will be returned to you. It's all about your mindset. If you're going into a casino aiming to make money, you will likely be disappointed to find out that it's not guaranteed. However, if you go there with the mindset that you just want to have some fun, then you're going to have it. And if you're lucky, you can win money, which is even more fun.

You got the gist better than many of those I've been reading what they had to say about it. Gambling could be for fun, to make money and to make you sad, it is almost totally your choice on what will happen to you among all those listed possibilities. No one can certainly cause himself to make money in gambling, this is why I used "almost," and it is also the main reason why we should keep our money-making expectations from it very low. This is a good mindset that will not shift us out of the balance and will always neutralise our minds about it, that it is not the means of sure money but also a means to lose money if care is not taken.

However, if you make money with this mindset, you will be happy, after all, your mind is not so positioned on the money made, and that is the gist here and you will not feel it even if you lose. Also, there are so many people who deliberately know that gambling is fun and want to derive their fun from it, they do not just open their gambling platform or visit the casino house for money-making, but they embrace it as a social function where they want to entertain themselves. This is so possible and it depends on our mindset on this subject matter. Gambling could be some people's hobby and they still do not waste money through it, so it has to do with you, your beliefs/mindset about it and how you are engaging in gambling itself.

Well,in my own opinion I think there is no fun in losing gamble you can't keep losing money in gambling and you find it funny,for me I don't find it that fun reason is because it takes you alot of time to get the money u use to gamble just imagine letting it go just scoot free, I think the only people who find it more fun,is those who have source of income they can decide to gamble even if they keep losing they won't find any remorse in it, because they just see it as part of fun,how can someone who doesn't have any source of income keep losing in gamble and you expect him to be happy.

I guess if you don't have source of income and you keep betting and you never win,ever since you started gambling,I will advice you quit because if you keep betting in other to recover from your losses that's the more you keep losing more money,so I think quitting  is the only best option

Don't you know what happened to them?
They have big goals and ambitions in making money from gambling and from this they cannot accept all their losses until they end up trying to recover their losses.
The goals and ambitions that are so big towards achieving profit will clearly not be able to accept when defeat occurs, over time the attitude of recovering from defeats that is always done ultimately makes them become addicted to gambling.
The impact of not being able to accept defeat is so great and can influence every gambler to make more frequent mistakes, but they all do it without realizing it because they have lost what is called self-control.

If we never think about making money from gambling then it is clear that we can always have sense of responsibility and wise attitude and that way whatever results we get will always bring happiness.
Losing is not the saddest thing as long as we gamble within limits and can use the money we are prepared to lose, it just that most gamblers use savings or money used for living needs as betting capital.
This makes it difficult for every gambler to accept their losses.

In a way it is really ironic that those that are unable to accept their losses and keep gambling hoping to recover their money are the ones that will lose the most of it, while those that can deal with the losses they got, as they know very well that gambling is just another hobby for them, will be the ones that will gamble responsibly and only lose what they can afford to lose, and while losing control like this once or twice is still acceptable, if this becomes common place, it would be better for those people to leave gambling behind as it is obvious they cannot really deal with it.

If you do play gambling with high expectation or really have that mindset that you could be ending up on winning or making money then this place isnt for you as the things you would mainly
encounter will really be that definitely against into your expectations and this is why it would be best that you should really accept on what are the  things that could happen along the way.
You shouldn't really be that making yourself that expecting too much on things which arent supposed to be that way. Having high expectation but on the time that reality
make you that realize that it was never been easy on making money with gambling specially if you arent that lucky enough. There are really people who are really that
too much abusing those kind of thoughts until they would be busting out themselves.

One of the biggest misconceptions about gambling is that "you can only have fun when you win more". Stemming from the notion that most people who are gambling always shoot for wins and prizes. But the truth of the matter is that you can pretty much gamble, lose, and still have fun. That's only if you're gambling for the sake of being entertained however, which I argue is the best way to gamble in the first place.

Gambling for the sake of fun works cause you're not really after the win, you're after the rush that you get when you're anticipating the results of every match. If it's a win, it's great, if it's a loss, it's fine and you can pretty much go on without really losing momentum or whatever cause you're not after the results, you're basically just after the feeling.

So yeah, gambling and having fun even while losing is not a work of fiction or a theory, I have a couple friends who gamble occasionally and is able to have fun even while they are losing, that's enough evidence of the fact for me.
