Topic: Is there any fun in losing while gambling - page 28. (Read 5698 times)

I never support that gambling is fun because money is played to win and lose. Those who get addicted to gambling never quit even those who win repeatedly make it their way of earning money. On the other hand when you win from gambling then it can be seen as a part of happiness but when you lose it is sad. especially for those who take a loan or debt to gamble. As all businesses have risk so gambling is one of them so it is best for you when you have other business to make money.

Op, It depends on the individual gambler in the sense that your reason to gamble and my reason for gambling aren't the same, I have a source of income and I don't depend on the outcome of my bets to survive, So I gamble when I know I won't feel the impact of the loss despite the fact we all hope to win, take you for instance, I might feel that Arsenal will win their game today and I placed an amount that won't bother my mind losing it because I know is a 50/50 chance and I have disciplined myself in such a way that I gamble with the money I can afford and when I feel fun gambling, Therefore whichever outcome I'm good.

I personally don't like losing, do you? But we all know that losing is part of the game and it challenges us to crave for the win. Who else dreamed of losing? Losing can be painful but some gamblers are immune to it and they don't lose hope until they got the victory. If I lose all my funds for a particular gambling let's just say I spend $5-$10 I call it a bad day and better luck next time.

Well, I think that people actually do gamble for the fun without minding how much they lost, I personally have this particular game I sometimes play on stake simply for the type of fun I get when I play it, I don't play it for profit or winnings, but then, I won't give the winning back to the casinos is luck hits me and I won though.

But aside from this which I've said above, the truth actually is that, there is fun in losing money, there is no fun in it at all most especially when the loses are very constant and persistent, the fun of gambling is when you win some and lose some, but if it will possible, winning only is a good way to be very happy in gambling, but unfortunately, there will always be loses, this is for sure, but winning is very important to keep gambling as fun thing activity to keep engaging in.

Well I can certainly say their is no fun in losing when gambling and I think it's even the other way around. Gambling is only fun when one tend to be winning because the experience never gets old and also when you are winning don't let your happy emotions cloud you because you can get carried away and before you know the losses will start pouring in so you should always know when the fun is enough.

In as much as so many gamblers do only gamble with their disposable income and are financial buoyant enough to not be affected by the money they lose in gambling, I personally do not think that there's any form of form in losing in gambling because it's definitely money or valuables that are gonna be lost in gambling. No one will be happy to lose in gambling regardless of how small the amount is money can be so I don't find that question about if there's any fun in losing while gambling cool.

There is fun when you gamble and it is a different story when you lose. What you actually have to do when you lose is to realize that purpose of what you did right from the start.
Everyone is for the profit and that will never change, if there are for the fun, they are few gamblers that have understood that it's totally fine to lose and have fun at the same time. That's their money and it is their own rules to be made.

The gambling loss never give us fun in any way,sometimes it motivate us to the good way.Because the gamblers who have patience to win the game,the loss sometimes demotivate him.But the passive gamblers will get away from the gambling with the loss,only the gamblers with more experience will survive after the loss in the gambling site.The gambling site will have the gift for you after the loss,but many inexperienced people away from the game.So the gamblers should have a potential to come back to the game after the loss,because the loss is not the permanent one in the gambling.The game will back the winning after the loss is common one.

What game do you actually play in those physical casino that give you pleasure while you lose and that can be say to be some physically involving games such as football or horse races because those are the games that could give such pleasure for playing them, but we may still have some other games that could give that feelings also that may be out of my notice or records.

But the general notion about games is that,  the excitement come from the winning at all time and for sure majority of us will fine fun only when we win and not lose as you stated.

The fun doesn't consist in losing, but on the very act of gambling. Despite the outcomes being profit or loss, the gambler has to have a good time enjoying his gambling session, otherwise it's an activity he should avoid, because it will mean it's not being benefical for him in anyways.

There are several variables of entertainment activities someone can execute for self-pleasure and self-satisfaction. However, not every entertainment activities are suitable for everyone. For you it might be entertaining to watch sports on TV, but for me it can be really boring, so you could easily replace a bad habit which is harming you by watching sports matches, but for me it wouldn't work, because it's not something which I'm going to feel emotionally rewarded by doing.

The same can be said about who enjoys gambling, but don't enjoy other hobbies people usually are adept of. For you it might look foolish to see them losing money and still gambling after all. However, gamblers could also say it's foolishness someone to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to watch a soccer game at a crowded stadium, surrounded by drunk and sweaty men, screaming, crying and suffering for a match result which won't make any difference on their lives at all. Who is right or wrong on their points of view?

People who gamble, have pleasure on that respective activity, and even though they are likely to be losing money on long run, it doesn't seem to affect them negatively at all. They have a source of income which doesn't rely on gambling, and gambling occupies only a small budget of that total source of income, so it doesn't bring further negative impact over their finances.

entertainment can be seen everywhere in today's technology and watching TV is even considered the cheapest since you could already play games online for free without losing some money. there are thousands of apps on googleplay that we can download for free.

but if the user prefers to gamble for his entertainment, i wouldn't expect him happy after losing thousands of his money. the fact that odds are always in favor of casinos he can't escape losing. we are looking for ways to win because winning makes us happy so it's just unbelievable to see one having fun while losing money.

What they say in the thread catches my attention, because there are many ways that players can have fun, but losing is something that I don't see as having much logic, if you lose it is because you couldn't do what was necessary to win or you didn't have the corresponding luck and that is a shame, but I don't see that there is a way for a player to have fun knowing that he is losing, it is something difficult to believe, that is as if you were on a motorcycle and you really like being and riding a motorcycle because you love it. You fall and you can break a leg or scrape everything, but I have seen some people who are so masochistic that they forget those accidents and with everything they went through they don't learn and they continue having the same crazy things.


I know that the casino is for fun, but fun does not mean that you have to spend all the money, that is why the budget in a casino is crucial so that things in the casino flow with more fun and based on responsible gaming, Just imagining that you can spend money that shouldn't be spent is total madness.

People can say whatever they want. And we will never be able to verify for sure which of them is telling the truth and which is deceiving. This cannot be measured, you can only believe it or not believe it. Personally, I have a hard time understanding how you can have fun when you lose at gambling and lose money.

No one will feel happy, enjoy or fun after they lose their bet, but gambling isn't only reacts the result.

So if you not feel happy before gambling (analyze), during gambling (watch the match/screen), and the result (lose or win), you shouldn't gamble at all because you're only want to win. Gambling is all about luck, there's no way you can win streaks.

In most gambler, the experience is really same as what you described because you are using a bankroll that has a special allocation aside from gambling. Gambling gives you a chance for a quick profit or quick loss but it’s feature is not limited to it if you knew how to play properly without rushing your bets.

You can experience the fun on gambling even you loss if you don’t think your losses as realized already while you are still playing. Just always think about the game and not to recover your losses so that you can enjoy the game. Worrying about your money because you use a not free money is the main culprit why most gamblers don’t enjoy the game.

Even if I take gambling very naturally, when I lose, I will have some regret in my mind, I can't take it as fun. Also, I doubt anyone else will accept it as fun. But for those who don't consider gambling as a source of income, gambling don't have much of an impact, which I think the OP is emphasizing. If we lose gambling and take it for easily, we won't have the cost of losing. But since everyone gambles with the aim of winning, gambling within a certain limit means that even if he loses there, he will not lose much.

The best example to your explanation is that people don't actually get sad after spending money. As they got what they've paid for in the market or mall. Gamblers think that way, while others would accept that losing is part of gambling, many gamblers allow it to get to their subconscious and never forget about it and work hard to win by all possible means. That's the difference between those who gamble, and don't actually get affected by losses and those who worry about the loss. Another significant attribute of such gamblers is the fact that they actually gamble lesser amount of money. Imagine buying a car with all the money you've got, and along the line it was seized by custom officials. Wouldn't it be traumatizing? But if the buyer purchased a bicycle with his money and it got lost he wouldn't bother about it, even he'd laugh over it because it didn't affect his main funds in any way. Hence, gambling with whooping amount of money only gets the gambler sad when he loses the money.

No body gets happy loosing be it gambling or something else so most likely it's obvious that people get sad when they loose not minding the fact that they may be gambling for fun but then they may not really get emotional about it and may aswell not let it get to them because they weren't overly expectant about the game so it's outcome be it positive or negative has got little or no effect on them and that's why they would say that they were gambling for fun.

There are people who actually gamble for fun not minding if they lose or win but if they win the fun becomes greater and if they lose they still have nothing to lose because they are still going to get the fun they desired to get before ever starting to gamble.

Everyone will not be able to enjoy gambling if they only chase money when gambling and consider gambling as a source of income, therefore people who will not be addicted are gamblers who can enjoy the game because they always consider gambling as entertainment just to have fun even though If they lose, they also understand the risks and consequences of gambling itself. so why recover it and risk losing even more.

In every gambling game there is always a risk of losing so that everyone who understands gambling considers losing to be normal because all gamblers will experience it and every gambler must be able to accept it, even a professional has experienced defeat so why should they be embarrassed and unhappy with losing, OP should be able to understand the mindset of gamblers who gamble for fun. 

Even though there is no joy in losing but most gamblers will still return to gambling. They feel that they can still gamble with a certain amount of money and that previous losses are close to winning. That's why they still keep returning to gambling because they think they will win someday. The fact is that when they win, they don't stop themselves from gambling and take time off but instead become even more eager to win another win. Gambling without self-control will indeed change a person's entire habits.

However, if he can consider gambling as a pleasure and can control himself during and after gambling, he can enjoy gambling. He will not be addicted to gambling because he can take care of himself while gambling and can also stop himself on time. That's what we have to do to avoid getting addicted to gambling because playing gambling for too long can change our mindset.
