I'd say this is pretty good advice overall.  Honestly it makes me wonder what percentage of people whom gamble end up becoming addicted to gambling.  Going about it as you propose is a smart way to at minimum start gambling.  This way when/if you lose, it's a short term thing with a small loss that's nice sizable to your monthly income.  Stay safe out there all.

We can agree that it's not literally the same but falls under the same category of entertainment, just focus on the spending and get nothing in return financially.

Why we can't treat it the same even if we want too is because of the involvement of money and the excitement of getting more in return if luck favors us but the fact is the house always wins which means we can experience the winning here and there if we are an average joe with average luck factor and it happens for once in a million that we see on the news like someone won life-changing money from betting pennies.

Why not treat casinos the same ways like you are going to the movies or bowling? You are simply paying for the experience and the entertainment, it's either you enjoy it or you may not, can you feel me? You don't know how bad a movie can be until you watched it, so....
Have never really taught about treating gambling same way, maybe this is because I don’t gamble all the time and secondly I also don’t chase big win all the time in gambling and this have help me a lot to stay in the line and don’t use because of high winning to lose focus and start losing games.

But of a truth if one can really play gambling more of fun that the way they play and take it as a source of income their might even be lot of winning and than what they have been losing, because when someone is doing something that they like and having fun why doing it when you less expect for you to make money out of it that’s when the luck usually hit it right and things can just turn around for the person.

Hey, I have said this multiple time in some of my previous posts. Seems like you have copied me or something like that lol. But that doesn't matter. What matter is understanding the world of gambling. And as I have said before, gambling is for entertainment purposes only. The amount you put in your account for gambling and the amount you bet on games are the fees that you pay for the entertainment. And whatever you win in your gambling is a bonus for you.

I like your idea of comparing gambling with a movie. I think you have explained it better than me. All we see is a trailer before the movie and then we pay to see the whole movie. Trailers could be good but the whole movie may not be the same. So yeah, you pay first and then you enjoy what you have paid for. And whatever you get in return is a bonus for you for being there. If people treat gambling this way then they could avoid so much problems that comes with gambling if you consider it as a way of income.

I like the side the fact that gambling is not a means of making money, but gambling can give gamblers a chance to have fun and give those that take it as a means of money making, a very sad experience when they don't understand what gambling should be.

Mean while the Cinema is very different from a gaming center or a casino hall, in a cinema, one can enjoy his money but in a gambling center or a casino hall, there is a possibility of losing a being sad at the same time, the guarantee of winning in gambling doesn't come all the time and this makes gambling be like a very hard something for someone who doesn't have the mindset of risking to join.

gambling to try to find entertainment and that's what I do, besides the funds I use are very minimal and that's only a small part of the allocation for gambling. gambling as entertainment to relieve stress from work. If you are lucky and get the jackpot, it is luck. I don't depend too much on gambling, life is still normal even though I don't gamble every day. I am responsible with myself.

This have been discussed few times before and someone have to do it again maybe often, for those of you looking to become a gambler what is your motives behind it? To make money? Or to have some fun? Here is my advice to everyone of you.

See I don't know about those who play at casinos but you see those sports betting buys, they are in it for the money. Anyone who say they are in it for the fun of it is lying.

No one is going to listen to this advice but it is good that you have said it. Once a person's mind is made up to gamble for the money, They are going to draw up all sorts of rationalizations for their actions.

Quote
Casinos, either online or offline, isn't a place to win money for the 99% of people, but this same group of people want to confused or already confused themselves that they can make money gambling, this isn't the proper way. It's meant to be for fun and not so serious like your life depends on it.

Sometimes we get carried away at the casino and forget that it is for fun, to experience the adrenaline rush. We put money first maybe because of our present situation at that time.

Quote
If you want your life to goes on with ease, learn to be a fun gambler and not too dependent on gambling, this is what gets people f**ked, the reality of gambling is you win when it's not even expected, be a responsible gambler.

I wish we would heed to this advice. Soon we would read another sad casino tale. Watch out.

Definitely, people go to casinos get money easily to earn money. Go elsewhere for fun. Don't engage in self-deception and self-justification for losing money. What else can you say after losing money, except to say that you came to the casino to have fun. Smiley

Why not treat casinos the same ways like you are going to the movies or bowling? You are simply paying for the experience and the entertainment, it's either you enjoy it or you may not, can you feel me? You don't know how bad a movie can be until you watched it, so....
This "going to the movies or bowling" looks too very expensive. Smiley F@ck, yeah, you have absolutely no idea how bad this “film” can turn out to be, and only by being completely left without money and in debt can you “feel” it.

Casinos, either online or offline, isn't a place to win money for the 99% of people, but this same group of people want to confused or already confused themselves that they can make money gambling, this isn't the proper way. It's meant to be for fun and not so serious like your life depends on it.
“Fun” should give positive emotions and pleasure, and not bitterness, anger and resentment for lost money that was so needed for family, study, parents, buying a car, house, and so on (choose the appropriate one optionally).

If you want your life to goes on with ease, learn to be a fun gambler and not too dependent on gambling, this is what gets people f**ked, the reality of gambling is you win when it's not even expected, be a responsible gambler.
do without gambling.

Well, it should be but involvement of money simply  creates a different motive for the gamblers. Gambling is more likely invented for entertainment purposes and it evolved or developed over years of its existence. Many people found joy of betting and staking which adds intensity to the result of every game. Consequences as the outcome makes it more entertaining up until people saw something in it such as a source of income or even as a quick way to get rich especially if you’d hit a jackpot. Cinemas and shopping are different from gambling; watching a movie won’t give you an opportunity to atleast double the amount you’ve spent.Is it a bad thing? Depends on how a gambler would take it or handle this activiy.

In cinema, you won't expect to lose but want to achieve advances to your new girlfriend while in gambling you are expecting to win some money. But if you are losing a substantial amount already, it's gonna be hard for you to have fun playing in a casino.

The only way I can see this to possibly continue enjoying your day is to stop before you lose more. Because when you are not enjoying anymore and you could be agitated already by the loss you made, you may not be able to play well.

Yes, that is the correct approach towards gambling. Some people like going to the movies, others go bowling, others go travelling and eating out, while there are people who just want to go gambling. So instead of spending their money on every other activities people are used to, they spend it on their bets, and that shouldn't be seen as a waste of money, because it's part of their personal preferences to spend gambling, and not doing other hobbies.

I take this by the example of someone who were very close to me and didn't have pleasure going to the movies anymore. Instead, she loved gambling at casinos. That was what brought entertainment to her and even not enjoying the fact she was losing money this way, I think I should have felt happy, because gambling was the activity which was at least putting a smile on her face and bringing some joy to her life...

Here you are talking about those gamblers who gamble for fun and entertainment and they treat gambling as an expense towards their entertainment. Unlike other gamblers the lost in gambling is not a big concern for them. Also they do not run after the profits and winning the game is not the only motive for them.

I think these are the people who really enjoy gambling, they gamble in a relax mode and since there is no pressure of winning the games they feel truly entertained by gambling on the casinos.

I was gambling to make money, but I was taught a lesson. After the lesson learned, I later chose to use gambling to make fun because using it to make money will not actually make money for you but losses instead.
Only those that have got to learn through the hard way about seeing gambling as a means to make money can obviously read the handwriting and digest it without arguing about gambling not being a source of making money. Contemplating on this i remember a comment from a thread that was arguing about how professional gamblers have been able to make money and live rich through gambling which made me wonder how's that possible if they don't have another sources of income and invests.

Too much expectations by gamblers on their bets  to get a win and make them money is such a bad attitude that can rob you from enjoying and catching the fun that was supposed to be derived from gambling plays. And it makes sense to me whenever I see posts like this refreshing our minds about not too getting attached to money making through gambling but rather focus more on the fun side to be at parallel with the activity.

The reason why we interact or spend our time with gambling is because most of us use it as our pastime and at the same time earn prizes from winning. For me it is not like the cinema as you will not be able to experience loss in it just a break even for buying tickets and snacks for yourself. Most of the time, going to cinema is worth the money we spend in there unlike in gambling that there is high chance of losing all you've got. Even if we are treating gambling like one of those examples I don't think we will get the same experience. They are totally different. In gambling we are expecting something good but in movies we already know it is pure entertainment.

Exactly OP, you are on point. Gambling should be seen as entertainment and not a means of making money. If you are a discipline gambler, you will know all these because, you wouldn't be allowed to let your emotions to control you when you are losing, and you will always set aside an amount that you will use to gamble, wherever you want to gamble to avoid you using money for important things to gamble. Any gambler that don't understand this, will end up chasing his losses and might end up being an addict.

This has been in discussion since a long time that gambling should be only kept as a form of entertainment.
Many people don't do this and get serious with gambling. They chase their losses and keep losing money.
The repeated gambling makes them an addict and this is how it has been going on.
The thing of concern is that although many people know this yet they fall for this cycle.

This is not new. It has been mentioned many times that gambling should not be to make money, but to have fun. And if there are other activities you can engage in to have fun, then you do not necessarily need to gamble.

Having the mindset when gambling that you are spending money on the regular expense to have fun like the money you spend in the cinema, in the club, in that fancy restaurant etc. will help you not to think too much about it whenever you loose money to gambling.
We can't tell that to anyone since each of us have different intention on why we gamble that's why we cannot say that to have fun especially if the person is eager to earn money on gambling. Maybe we should let them discover how hard to acquire some profits on it and think about having fun rather than spending some time to think about winning a huge prize for what they do. But sometimes if we really think about it there's nothing wrong for aiming to win since maybe it gives us inspiration to gamble for more with proper precautions.

 But if we can't afford to lose and doesn't find it fun if our chance to win is so slim then its better for those people to stop spending their hard earned money from gambling but rather they should use it on other important matter that possibly generate them some good profit share like investment on any other options they like.

Gambling was made to satisfy someone's willingness to win and in some sort that you'll not regret what's going to happen. For me, that's entertainment, it just so happens that there are other individuals that doesn't view it that way and they stick on to that belief that they need to make money out of it. If you want to make money then build your own casino or gambling house, that way you always win.

It should be like that, or you can assume any money you use for gambling is already lose.

People can't accept to lose money in gambling, but surprisingly they can accept it when they visiting a cinema, watching circus, playing gacha game, donating to streamers etc. No one mad and say going to cinema is bad, but there are a lot people say gambling is bad when the purpose of both are for entertain.
