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....

Wait, cinema and gambling are two different options, different ways of working, all the activities carried out for both are very different, obviously they cannot be equated or made like the two, gambling is a game and money, watching cinema, Gambling is addictive, cinemas are not detected as addictive, people go to the cinema just to watch, not to make money.

If you associate gambling entertainment with cinema entertainment, that is a wrong understanding, because if you interpret entertainment it has a broad meaning, such as: entertaining the heart, fun, joy and so on, for me the two things cannot be used as examples and equated.

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?

People are now gambling because they needed the two altogether, they wouldn't want to prefer one and leave the other except for those who already have their money but willing to make fun out of gambling, they may not take winning or making money a serious task to do.

Cinema in this context is another different thing entirely, people knows what they want and they cannot reason that way except if they are not financially challenged before gambling, such a way that they are not running after winning to make money but gambling only for entertainment.

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.

No matter how many times we tell them about that, there are still gamblers who won't do those reminders, because there are and are indeed gamblers who are greedy and wild about money, and besides that, they can't think of gambling as a hobby.

Instead, they will think of it as a source of income. But at least we reminded them so that when the time comes that they also realize that they made a wrong decision and did not listen to the warnings of others here, like you are doing here, they will understand that they should have just made gambling a pastime. They are just starting to get into crypto gambling.

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.

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.

That is true but once you watch a movie that you like you go on searching for other movies to watch and the same analogy applies to this type of gambling you are inviting to which is great but it can never remain only fun.The reason being very simple,once you win out of nowhere you want more as the greed is deep in our roots as humans,we are created greedy and if we have a castle we want another and so on until death is upon us,we spend our life trying to improve it forgetting that the end is the same.With this I don't want to add pessimism to our already boring lives in some cases but to stop treating gambling as fun as no matter it starts as fun it can never remain that way.

Many individuals will still ignore this advice because they think they can become lucky too like those individuals that are lucky and always win. Casino advertisment make it look like it's easy to win and alot of individual fall for this. Casino influencers also make it look like winning while gambling is easy like how they did with trading Bitcoin and everyone is thinking you can make profit very easy. Gambling should be a form of entertainment and if we want to make money, we have to look for jobs and apply.

Gambling with the mindsets of making money can make us become depressed when we don't win and also lead us into addiction as we continue gambling in search of profits. Gambling under pressure can't make you profit so you'll continue wasting all the money you have gambling and instead of making profits, you'll be losing and becoming broke. Those that gamble because they want to make money lose more than they profits but they don't realize because when when they finally win, their joy covers up all the loses in their mind.

That's how I take it, with the only difference being that in the cinema you simply spend the money to enjoy the experience, and in gambling you can walk out with more money than you came in with. One good thing I have is that if I get lucky and win a big prize or a medium prize that gives me a profit from the session, I take it and go. I don't make the mistake of many people who think they are on a roll, keep betting and end up losing their winnings and more. When you are lucky in a session you have to leave and enjoy the money, losing sessions will come, many of them.

So what genre of movies will these be? Could be drama

I can see the problem that the OP mentioned is common, entertainment gradually disappears or it doesn't exist and just wants to change the concept to profit from users. Yes I very much agree, if we keep the state of entertainment with gambling games as well as bring in small amounts of fun. The reality is that gamblers are people who are dedicated to the wealth of a gambling game, I also think that only when someone has enough experience will they see this problem as truly simplified. Regarding the movie, different from the OP's mention, I think that each of us has our own movie and common movies, when we understand enough, we will know which brings benefits to life.

It's easy to say but difficult to do. When you are deep in losses you tend to have a different point of view about gambling. You want your money back, simple as that. A cinema entertains you with a wide variation of stories with climaxes that will jump your different emotions. I don't think it's the same as gambling. Two emotions are coming out in gambling, happy when winning and angry when losing because you feel like you are being cheated.
There's no laughing thing in online gambling sites, no comedy. Most of the time it's just madness that will come out from gamblers because they are on a losing streak. Check the chatbox of each popular gambling site, you will see how mad players are because they feel like the game is always rigged whenever they play.

That's true, and only a true gambler can really feel the difference between gambling and going to the movies. It's hard to compare these two because when you go to the cinema to watch a movie, there's no risk involved. However, gambling itself is inherently a high-risk activity.

Quote from: danherbias07 on October 25, 2023, 08:23:17 AM

I think the bigger question is, why are they still going back after they wrecked all their money to zero balance?

That's because we're chasing the thrill, not necessarily the entertainment. We can truly feel entertained only when we win. But regardless of the outcome, the thrill in gambling, especially when we place significant bets, is something that can truly fulfill us if we win or make us feel down if we lose.

That's why people often say that gambling isn't for the faint of heart, as it's an experience filled with mixed emotions.

That's a wrong analogy my friend, because there is no how we can ever treat Gambling as if we are going to watch a movie at the Cinema, because do we stand any chance of making any money by going to watch a movie at the Cinema? The answer is No, but when it comes to gambling you have a high tendency of getting entertained and still making some cool money if you are lucky enough to win a game while playing.

Though that winning while gambling is rare, but doesn't mean people don't win, and as such it's good and advisable for people to gamble away with the little amount of funds they can always afford to lose, if in case game doesn't go as planned.

Visiting the cinema is not bad but there is a lot of difference between casino games and cinema. We can only enjoy watching movies but in gambling game many people play for fun but if luck is good then there is a chance of winning and the person earns some money. It is not always possible but it happens many times by force of luck but in cinema there is no hope of getting anything like this. Gambling is a game of chance so there is no definitive way to prove gambling but if you are serious apply the techniques and enjoy yourself. Responsible gamblers have an independent mindset and therefore can employ simple strategies with ease. Apart from this their analytical nature helps them to turn disagreements in their favor.

I think he chose the wrong simile in this case, and yes I agree with you, OP is comparing things that are not apple to apple to get his point across.
The thing that is impossible for someone to get when watching and playing gambling, is that when we play gambling we will have the opportunity to win even though luck is very rare, but what do we get from watching, sometimes when I go to the cinema we don't get pleasure, in fact You could end up getting bored because the film you watched was not what you expected.

But I think you also understand the meaning that the OP wants to convey, and I agree that gambling is a place to find pleasure, if you cannot be responsible in the gambling you do then you will experience misery at the end of the story.

I also not find it convincing too to compare gambling into watching a movie. When decided to watch you a movie, you know right at the beginning that youll gain nothing from except the experience of watching the moivie on big screen. Unlike once you place your bet, you are starting to hope taht you will win. Movies definitely have that chill social vibe where you can just kick back and enjoy without any pressure. Gambling on the other hand tends to bring that competitive edge into play. Even if we try to focus on the fun, the potential for making money is always there and its kind of hard to ignore.

But OP is right that we should enjoy playing on it and not make it as a means to make money. I totally agree with that.

The pressure is always there for gambling but there is no pressure in watching movie except you are the type that is not able to understand it is a movie and you go into anxiety especially for women and few men who feels that anxiety and this is usually with scary movie but nothing of such in gambling and if there are, it is for winning whose reason is because of the money involved and financial expectation that is involved if you win.

You cannot compare gambling to watching cinema because by gambling you have a chance to make money, even though both can give you entertainment, on gambling, there is money involved and a chance to make a profit from your bets, this is the reason why gambling is addictive, especially for gamblers who once tasted how to win big money in gambling.

We all want to be responsible gamblers, but the temptation is just too high and we extend our hours and bet more, once we experience how to win a big amount of money we will always take a chance to make more money until we develop the addiction, we're not only going for the money we are also going for the feeling as well, the feeling of satisfaction this is the dopamine effect of playing longer hours in gambling.

No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small

Gambling is way different from going to the cinema because in gambling, there's a chance to win, unlike when you go to the movies, where you already know what to expect: entertainment.

In gambling, there's a sense of entertainment, but let's be honest with ourselves—do we still feel entertained even when we lose? We enjoy gambling because we're seeking the thrill, and we don't need to deceive ourselves by saying we're only in it for entertainment. In reality, we're chasing that win.

I believe what we should practice is convincing ourselves that what we lose is an amount we can afford to lose, so it won't be too hard for us to move on.

I appreciate your creativity @OP in linking cinema and gambling. When you watch the previews of some films it will be so attractive that you will be pleased to buy the tickets to view it. In some cases, you will discover that the movie is not what you expected. The quality, character, or even production might become below your standard. Seeing gambling as an entertainment that cannot be predicted just like the movie is a good one. Just as the movie might be interesting or not, that is how you can win or lose in gambling.

Watching movies is a good example because it does not cost much to buy a ticket, which also points to the fact that we should gamble will a little portion of our income. People who see gambling as their major source of income either become addicts or suffer from financial problems.

I gamble just for fun, like I watch movies in the cinema. I do both of these things in my free time, but I don't do them too often because I am more concerned with the money being able to meet my family's daily needs. Only if there is money that is really not used for important things or anything else will I use it for gambling because I don't want to disturb the financial position that I have established every month. Actually, we have many more interesting things to do and not only gambling but often we are too lazy to start, so we prefer to use gambling as a fun activity. In fact, by gambling, we use money that may be more than we budgeted for.

I also gamble just for fun, but with the kind of money that I should use for other things that supposed to be fun. Instead of my friends and I should go and have fun at other places during the weekend, we can decide to go to casinos and have almost the same fun but with gambling which is the main reason. What that is very important is my family life and savings, I can not take any money that I supposed to save or spent on my family to gamble.

Yeah, so it's up to the individual, whether they should gamble for fun like watching cinema as the OP put it, (although there are points that I will not agree), or people wanted to win extra money. And worst maybe there are some that think gamble is a way to make money, like having a regular job or something. But it is not.

Actually in the casino that I frequented, I see some old ladies day in day out, sometimes I will converse to them and they say that they just stay in the casino even if they are not playing because they don't have money. And there are people who knows them, so if this people won, they are giving some to this old ladies. So most likely, it's like a part of their life already. But I didn't ask how's their life outside though.

I beg to differ.
They are both fun but one is more social friendly than the other, no matter how you put it, casino is a place where people hang out to make some money while movies is pure social hangout where nobody will ever complain of what you come to do.

When I went to watch match, the way I get to entertain myself in a movie night is different from the I get entertainment in playing bet. Haven't been to any casino before but I have visit bet shops back then when gambling weren't really online, the likes of Betnaija and Nairabet in those days where fun to do. The feelings I have experienced over their actually is different from the fun of movie night.

I hope you do know that you can take your babe along for a movie night bit you can't do that when it comes to gambling like casino. If you go to play in a casino house, all your attention is going to be there unless you are a professional gambler but in a movie night, the atmosphere will be quiet, when you have pop corn and Pepsi, you forget about making money but in gambling, no matter how you try to swerve from the money aspect, you will want to make some money, give or take your attention will be there.

I also not find it convincing too to compare gambling into watching a movie.

Rather apt as a comparison really. I've always compared it to something like games or something similar which hasn't really been effective after some point, I guess comparing it to a cinema would be a lot better (and a lot more relatable) to the majority of people. The idea of money might not be in casinos, but hey, it's easy to look at once you see how the "money part" is replaced by the "movie" part of cinemas. It's not supposed to be a completely similar exchange, but rather just push the idea of what the "money" part of casinos signify, which is simply a tool for your entertainment, just like how movies are in cinemas.

Its like asking everyone to be gambling for the fun of it, I put it in a different way, consider gambling as something that you just get involved in so you can know and discuss when conversations comes up, whether you win or loose, it is nothing to worry about as the motive was not just fun but to have an idea and not with big expectations of life changing transformations. Imagine how less worried you'll be from this standpoint.
