OP, there is a different fun in losing at gambling. But this is not the case with all gambling, there are some online and offline gambling that even if you lose, it turns out to be a lot of fun things. My losing record in offline gambling is very low. When I lose a gambling game to my opponent, I start to feel restless as well as amused. Because having skilled opponents for gambling increases my pleasure in gambling. At that time, my interest in gambling increased many times. Again in many cases it can be seen that some online games also play gambling through games. There they have a lot of fun, and love to play the games even though they lose at gambling. To satisfy the mind, even if gambling loses, there is much joy there.

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

There is definitely fun in gambling if there is a win. I've won from gambling for a while so had a lot of fun and suffered losses whenever I got addicted to gambling more. Taking a break from gambling is a very good thing. Gambling involves the risk of profit and loss, so it is possible to win at gambling based on experience.

Obviously everyone (gamblers) must feel great pleasure if indeed they managed to get a win in one of the sessions they did, I think all gamblers want that to happen, logically who doesn't want to get a win especially with a large amount for example, On the other hand I think every gambler can definitely get a win at least 1/2 time in 15 sessions that they do for example but the problem is that because most gamblers are too excessive in responding to the sensation and excitement when the situation wins then usually they will act excessively or mean chasing another win with a much larger amount even though the final result can always not be fully known and there is no certainty, in the sense that the risk of defeat is very possible. You have already proven it yourself that when you are addicted then you will usually suffer a number of defeats because of the many attempts you make with the aim of getting a win like before.

So the point is if you want to engage in gambling then please, no one forbids as long as you can manage everything well, such as gambling with enough time, not overdoing it and hanta put the amount you can afford to lose, because of course as you said that after all gambling is about winning and losing.

I think there is no fun in lossing because at start everyone says that he is gambling just for fun but when he loss in gambling then he Don't think about a relationship or any other thing but wants to recover his money back. It is the fact that gambler become greedy after a win or loss situations therefore he then never find a fun in gambling but gambling change whole habits of a person.

It depends on a person that is he is considering gambling as a fun or not because if you ignore your loss as a fun then you will not be much more addicted but if you are unable to tolerate your loss and always wants to win only then it will become harsh for you as in gambling no one continously win.

Maybe what they mean is "fun" in the sense that they don't focus too much on making money and just play normally to get entertainment from it. It doesn't mean they are "fun" when they lose, of course they are also annoyed when they lose, only crazy people are happy when they lose. But when players keep thinking about the money they might lose in the games they play, it can make them stressed and not enjoy the game, so they gamble for fun to enjoy it.

No one is totally happy when they ain't making profits in any business, and gambling is also more like a business as it is expected for one to either gain or lose so a situation whereby a gambler keeps on losing and calling it fun like that's actually insanity because no matter the amount you've got no one wishes to lose money all the time though gambling is meant to be played for fun regardless of either you're making profits or running losses but however, no gambler is completely happy to be losing bets all the time and call it fun that's just the gospel truth.

I’m glad to see that I’m getting a higher number of people to actually realize that the consciousness of staying aware that when staking a bet, is either you win or loss and as such it will also help us grow to gamble with the money we can afford to loss at a specific time.
I also once said earlier that , winning a bet has its own special joy and feelings no matter how  groomed we claim we are and at some point , the more the win, then more we would want to bet and that’s the fun and not the other way round when one is making series of losses in a row and you expect the game be fun to him , no I’m not sure, but whatever way, I guess when we are losing, it’s fun for the casino and when we win it’s don for us so there is always fun but who’s having the fun matters

Losing can never be fun and I can't say if it is for anyone because losing is not fun for me. Gambling is a fun place that's right but everyone is unhappy when they lose. Because everyone wants to win gambling. So I don't think anyone can say that he is happy even if he loses gambling. But if someone wins $50 in one game and loses $2 in the next game, he can still be happy because he still has a profit of $48.This is basically what happens. So generally speaking loss is not a happy thing for anyone

As I said before, there are situations where you can still enjoy yourself even if you lose (i.e. when playing poker with friends or just having good fun in a casino). That's not uncommon, most types of games are designed in a way that makes them entertaining and enjoyable. On the same token, you can win and still have a horrible time. Profitability and fun do not have to be correlated.
One of the best examples are lotto players, who would spend a few dollars each month on tickets (which is not an amount that would make any real difference), but the hope of becoming multi-millionaires overnight is quite a pleasant feeling and, to many, is worth much more than those few bucks.

Video games are also based on the same concept, at the beginning no one could beat video games as there was not an end goal and people just played because of the fun they obtained out of it, eventually new games appeared that gave a sense of purpose to their players, but even then you are bound to lose a lot until you reach the final objective of the game, so I do not see why gambling seems to be a concept that is alien to people when we actually see it in action every day.

If there is actually any fun in gambling especially when the losses are more than the winnings, it is a 50/50 thing because life is all about taking risk even though you lose with hope of winning someday. Someone can be an addict in gambling and don't mind losing as part of the fun obtained. Considerations are to be taken when gambling in order not to get depressed because of much lose over less win by staking what you can lose.
I think gambling players who are used only for fun are only those who have more passive money. so they don't care anymore about the money they have spent.
different from gambling players who expect profit or victory in every game they choose. it is not impossible for them to experience depression if the defeat is more than the victory. especially if what is used is active money or can be called daily money used for betting.
You are right on which they do really just only spend on the amount that they wont really be bothered even if it would be a total loss comparing into those people who do play gambling just to have some hopes that they could having the chance on making it big.Therefore, on the time that you would really be that losing up a bet then its never been that something that could really be giving out that good feeling. It is really that hard to deny or tell to yourself that losing cant really be able to affect you on the way you do play gambling. We are hoping for a win and in every roll then you would be feeling out the excitement basing up on the outcome. You would be happy if its a win and you would  get disappointed if its a lose. This is why self acceptance into those conditions would be the key
so that you wont really be ended up on being impulsive.

In whatsoever we do in life for there to be a balance there should be some iota of the good part and the iota of the bad part of it. In gambling it is either you are winning or you are losing. There is no way a gambler will keep winning and winning without losing at some points. And there is also nowhere a gambler I will keep losing and losing without winning. No matter how we claim that we gamble for fun if we continue to lose without winning you will get frustrated and begin to chase losses. To strike the balance we need to lose and also win to make gambling the fun it is supposed to be.

Generally, the perception of gambling being for fun is based on the financial strength of the gambler. A very rich gambler who does not depend on the returns from gambling to earn a living could comfortably see gambling as fun even if their losses are greater than winnings. But a poor man who does not have enough for himself and continue to lose in gambling even if their initial intention was to see gambling as fun, the excessive losses will automatically make the feeling of fun to go away from him. The spirit of frustration take over him either to continue chasing his losses and become addicted or to quit gambling.

Yes, i will admit it that there's fun in gambling even when you loose, those that may not regard loosing as part of having fun are the ones that have missappropriate their financial fund needed on other things for gambling and couldn't afford loosing, when we loose while gambling, we shouldn't allow that to weigh us down, because we are supposed to be gambling for fun and when we loose shouldn't be the very bad moment of our life at such period all because we lost while gambling.
Easy for you to say that we need to distribute fairly our finance in different things but putting that into practice is a different thing, that's why it only works when you're talking about it and not because you're doing it. Yes you're right we can have fun even if we're losing but look at people that have gambled their life away, you can probably surmise from their faces that they haven't had fun in awhile, I'm not saying you're wrong but that's not entirely right either is what I'm trying to say.

Yes you can have fun despite all the losses but I don't think you should be thinking of that when you're gambling because it distracts you from the fact that you're gambling and having fun because having fun with your vices should be dumb and brain dead so you're really enjoying it.

And also for the fact that it is mentioned on the terms and conditions of the casino that there is a house edge in the system which means that it is all about the casino first,  and the player is secondary.
The casino, tbookie, house edge have much greater advantage in front of the gamblers and of course no gambler can beat them.
We must be aware that gambling with any means and skill will never be able to beat the house edge or casino, especially for casino games so our chances as gamblers of winning are very low.

Quote
With that fact in mind it inky left for the gambler who only gambles for the fun of it and nothing more than that, The majority of those who lose in gambling are those who never gamble just for the fun or looking to win big money from gambling.
You are right, but of the many gamblers there will only be few who can remember or understand this fact, in fact the majority of gamblers still have the wrong mindset and approach towards gambling.
This is what causes lot of problems that occur and are experienced by everyone, having fun will be very easy for us to implement but not necessarily for other gamblers out there.

~ With that fact in mind it inky left for the gambler who only gambles for the fun of it and nothing more than that, The majority of those who lose in gambling are those who never gamble just for the fun or looking to win big money from gambling.

Are you serious? Most gamblers lose money gambling simply because it is a zero sum game. Winning depends only on algorithms and in some gambling games such as sports betting, poker, etc. on the experience of the player. The probability of winning or losing has absolutely nothing to do with other characteristics of the player. An algorithm determining win/loss physically can not know in what mood is a gambler and for what purpose he plays gambling.
Really is that what of it is with sports betting,  I thought all the while that the possibility of winning sports bets is by the ability to accurately analyse the team using their available data,  and I never thought there be any other Algorithms outside.

I only thought that in-house games are the ones with an Algorithms since the house edge systems are mostly implemented on those games, anyways I may be wrong though.

There is a principle in which gambling losses will not upset: you only need to treat the deposited money as if it had already been lost when making a deposit. And be aware that you need to have as much fun as possible with this money without expecting any winnings. And then even losing this amount will not upset you. Winning and winning money will be a very pleasant surprise.

Aside from the fun part of it losing also gives us the opportunity to.lesrn new lesson and also be more proactive on our games, this is what many people dont understand most especially those who take gambling as a daily means of income making, so for that anytime the experienced losing it tends to take away every benefit from they mind since the focus for them is the money and not the fun, and this set of people are seen or should be seen as not fun seeking gamblers but just professionals businessmen who are out for the money and not fun.
So we shouldn't be surprised to see or hear statements such as no fun in losing or losing being the worst state in gambling, such mentality will affect the individual overall game experience.

There is definitely a lot of fun in gambling but there is regret in losing. No matter how much people say that gambling is part of entertainment, I never accept it because even if a person participates in gambling as part of entertainment, he still has a desire to make money. If he is greedy for money, he will surely feel bad about his losing gamble. For my part, if I say that I participate in gambling for entertainment, but if I lose the bet, it is natural that I will feel very bad.

Only a few people enjoy gambling games for fun, even rich people, unless they have a lot of money or have complete control over themselves, but that is very rare. Everyone wants to win.
You can also enjoy gambling games for fun like people already do. They have no desire other than to have fun in gambling games. They know it is difficult for them to win, so they only gamble moderately and always try to limit their gambling activities. They don't want to gamble too long or use a lot of money, so they only gamble within reasonable limits. If you can do it, you can enjoy it. Moreover, we don't need to gamble if it's just to get pleasure because many other activities can provide pleasure. If we really want to gamble, we have to use the money we can afford so we don't gamble excessively.

We should have the mindset that gambling is for fun only not for aiming more profits cause one thing for sure once we are aiming for more profits then there's a high possibility that we can loss a lot of money while if we are in the mindset that we gamble for fun then if we loss then it still okay cause they didn't expect more profits.  And also some gamblers enjoy playing in gambling they feel like gambling is anti stress.

Yes, that's right, that's the mindset that is more recommended, because gambling with the intention of seeking profit or income will only make us ultimately trapped in a cycle of addiction and of course not everyone can survive with all the pressure of the many problems that arise when we are already in such a situation, financial ruin or even with the destruction of family relationships is not uncommon and even I see lately there are also those who are desperate to take actions out of control such as suicide just because they are not strong with all the pressure of problems due to addiction.

On the other hand it is clear that when someone comes with the intention of earning then usually the opposite happens, namely losing a lot of money, we must understand from the beginning that this is a gamble where the final result is always unpredictable and there are only two answers, namely winning and losing, so with no certainty about the final result then obviously I think it makes no sense if you come with the intention of earning because the casino will not let that happen either. So it's better to gamble with the intention of having fun like you said, after all gambling is basically nothing more than an activity to fill empty time when you are bored, and it's better for our personal security.
Given gambling's risks, I agree with your position. Gambling is fun with a cost, not a guaranteed cash source. The chances are usually against the player, making consistent winning nearly impossible. Gambling's emotional highs and lows can be dangerously addicting. The emotional rollercoaster can cause mental health concerns and broken relationships, as well as financial losses. Gambling affects society. Gambling addiction may ruin families and communities. Thus, treating gambling as a hobby rather than a financial strategy is prudent and necessary. Managing expectations and knowing the gamble is key.
