Topic: No interest in gambling if there is no profit or fun to be accountable. - page 6. (Read 1067 times)

To be sincere if I ever find a game that I don't enjoy but keep winning I wouldn't stop gambling there. I will constantly use such platforms and keep making money even if I don't enjoy the game. This is because gambling is all about first the money and the next one is the fun. For me to enjoy gambling I will simply use part of my wins to gamble in games which I enjoy playing.

Most gamblers who gamble only because of fun are those who are rich. The majority people who are struggling to make ends meet gamble because they expect to make money from it and I don't think it is wrong to have such a perception. However, it becomes a problem when gamblers depend on gambling as a source of income. Gambling should be seen as a game of chance which means we cannot predict when we might win.

Fun should take the centre stage here. Casinos are not here to make you rich. They are a business organisation and the house always wins. So if you become extremely lucky, you will make money. The reason people go to casinos is to have fun. Problem gambling is a different story. I am referring to the common people like you and I.

While gambling, focus on having fun. For money making, get a job.

Well, it is commonly said that without risk, it's impossible to make money.
For a gambler who is gambling to make money, what exactly is the essence of continuing to play a game or on a casino where you arent either making profit of loses? Personally, I don't like hickey pankey stuffs when it comes to gambling, I like to see myself either making profit or loses, I don't like a situation where I see myself in the middle or in between, because, it makes the game I am playing uninteresting, and less intriguing.

But when gambling solely to just have fun, I definitely will enjoy the game more when and if I never have to run out of balance, that is, when ever I lose money to the extent I am about to run out of balance, I start winning and my balance is replenished again, this will make me have a longer playing time which adds to the fun.

But then, in reality, this is actually not possible, you will either win or end up losing your entire balance as long as we are gambling continually.

I try to limit my gambling to small amounts per bet.

To me strategies like martingale where you increase your bet every time you lose are just pointless because eventually they will lead to you losing your bankroll faster. So I just bet small amounts and don't really care win or lose. If I go on a winning streak, nice, I may withdraw. But generally I don't care that much. I just play for fun and even if the profit is little I don't care.

In reality most people that turn out to become problem gsmblers have issues with these very fundamental issues. If you have a budget and know what you are financially comfortable with losing then you can't have problems with it. It's easy to still have fun while betting small amounts, while losing big amounts is very easy also while there is no security for winning for sure.

The reason why casinos are always looking for ways how to sustain the interest of their players by offering rewards, race/contests and other bonus programs to make the games worthwhile or more engaging. In this way, it will create active participation from its patrons and can rekindle the enthusiasm to play among them.

If there's no more fun in the games, I don't think players will continue to support such games. Or they feel, there's no way they have the chance on winning, even the slightest chance. Of course, people play for the hope of hitting something, right?

What then is a casino without fun or profit, even in charity events there's still the inclusion of fun and entertainment how much more a casino that brag itself to be a gambling offering source or agent. When a game is boring it could lead to lost of interest that forcing yourself to continue gaming could lead to multiple losses.

I accept gamble to be an activity that is dominated by an act of luck and chance that we can either make profit or incur losses buy what we shouldn't be deprived of is the entertainment that accompanies the process of gambling. Why we do have gamblers that have not stopped to gamble in spite of not getting profit yet from it is mostly due to how entertaining they feel whenever they engage in their choice of sports or casino games.

Following the above, we should also not neglect our responsibility to keep our gambling life in a balance form. As negligence could lead to our addiction.

the games at most casinos are provably fair so when you play at casino fair even though you saw it in the verification, then you use casino Z and again you lose constantly and check if the casino is provably fair and it really is provably fair. but you will still continue using other casinos thinking that the result will be different. but the problem is not in the casinos, the problem is in you, because you would not understand that gambling games that depend on luck have random winners, there is no strategy in gambling games that depend on luck. so when you put your money in them you just have to hope that you are lucky to win, if you are not lucky then you won't win.

now if you are placing sports bets then the results of the bets will be determined by your skills, if you are very skilled to the point of analyzing the games well and being able to get it right, then you will make a profit, but if you are not able to get it right in sports betting then you will not make any profit , this is quite simple. Talking about fun, I had already said that games should be seen as fun, but it's true that no one is happy losing, no one has fun when they're losing. That's why it's important that people don't just find fun in gambling, there are many things in the real world for people to have fun with.

Gambling is full of unexpected surprises, where if we are lucky we will get huge profits that are many times the amount of money we bet. And I got it, which is probably what keeps me in gambling and continuing to place bets. The big wins that I have had, can really attract my interest to continue gambling and placing bets, with the hope that I will get bigger profits than before. But after I experienced quite a lot of defeats and suffered quite large losses, it turned out that this was a wrong behavior and assumption regarding gambling. because the more often we gamble and place bets, this can only eliminate the winnings that were previously obtained and only cause significant losses.

Well i have to win occasionally more then i bet, otherwise what's even the point? But that's just one part of the fun equation. Just winning or losing doesn't really do it for me yet, Otherwise i could just keep tossing a dice or choose one slot machine and stick with it, because one would do the job. And if i only wanted profits, there are easier and safer ways to do it that don't have fun involved at all. Like actually working hard and saving. By doing that i won't win much but i keep rising my stash slowly.

And gambling consists from 2 things that are hooking. Fun and excitement. Fun is when you either win or don't yet know if you are winning. And excitement happens when you haven't yet won, and you could technically lose everything. Weirdly people get hooked on rush coming from that as well.

So it's really a combination of different things i am looking for. But if i had to summarize it, it would be those 2 and everything they hold... I mean i would definitely choose having fun and winning all the time, but excitement wouldn't come with that. That's something you have to risk for, and what rich and poor people are risking for.

Are there other purposes to engage in an activity other than entertainment and profit? I doubt there are other reasons to engage into it. To most of the gamblers, profit is the main reason. Some are even having thoughts of becoming rich from this industry because there are a few who did become. However, luck and faith doesn't work equally to all of the gamblers. Most of the time, people are losing in the long run and their hopes of still making it 'big'  someday, is the reason why they are still here. Few gamblers are playing to be entertained and they are most likely those who are rich already; they just gamble to kill time. Thrill and excitement, for me, is what giving entertainment to gamblers. With sportsbetting, watching the game with risk of either losing or winning profit, adds spice to their experience of watching their favorite teams.
No one's really to blame because luck is being played in this activity. If you're lucky then you'd win, otherwise it is the opposite. No one has control of their betting outcome and the only thing you could do is to at least lessen the amount that could be lost.

Someone's profits and losses are highly dependent on his/her own luck and a casino has nothing to do with the profits or losses. I believe fun is an important aspect of online gambling because without fun we can't enjoy gambling at all.

I always believed that it's someone's luck makes him/her a winner or a loser, and even there's something we know as a casino's house edge, but still if someone's luck is extremely good then the house edge can't do any harm to such gamblers.

Surely, casinos set the house edge to gain some profits because they are also businesses, and they also have to earn revenue overtime. However, the house edge is very low in some games and that's why someone with a good luck can beat it easily.

Wait a minute, I am confused with this. You recover but you don't have profits? so, that means to say just break even?

I am really confused. If you're gambling for nothing then you are just wasting your money or typically you're just having fun because you've got no clear reasons why you gamble. Many are for the profit but then that turns into having fun when the plans doesn't seem to attached with it. So, after the failure of having some profits then a gambler can easily divert his reasons into gambling for fun only despite the losses that have been made.

Then that means that you're just losing when you can't find those. Then, that means to say that just don't gamble at all because there are no results that you prefer so, stop gambling.

True, the acknowledgment and acceptance of the consequences of whatever happens at the end is of course all our own responsibility, as you said above which is simply that from the beginning we are the ones who decide to gamble and there is absolutely no coercion from the casino to tell us to gamble, everything is always about our own decisions and with this then it is clear as you say that there is no one else to blame but ourselves who have always had the desire and interest to gamble especially when we lose.

Overall yes I think most gamblers should agree with the idea that gambling is not a place to earn, the fact about how gambling works especially to generate winnings will always thwart your plans to be able to make gambling an income suggestion, and one of the reasons is as we know that gambling is full of uncertainties that make anyone never know whether the results at the end of the session will win or lose, You will only find out when you have completed the session, and yes gambling is nothing more than a probability activity that only provides two possibilities at the end of the session which is between winning or losing, winning is nothing more than a chance while losing is a sure thing, so I think this fact is enough to be the reason that gambling is a for-profit activity. And also a person will only be able to feel the excitement and enjoyment of gambling when they come with the purpose of entertainment, because obviously in some cases the results of gambling are more disappointing and cause a lot of problems when you come with the purpose of earning.

Casinos promote themselves as an entertainment platform and a chance to make money, if casinos do not have this anymore then it's not gambling platforms anymore, Casinos will add more games and increase your chances to win for you to continue to patronize their platform.

If you're not having fun anymore and you believe that there is no chance to make money however long you will play, then it's time for you to quit gambling, gambling attracts players to play because they still enjoy the games and make money from time to time.

Fun, yes, that's automatic.

However, profits? we don't think of that, we gamble because we want to win, profits is just on the next level like you are treating gambling as a business. You use that profit in business, right? But when we gamble, we either win or loss, that's just it, other than that, it already requires extraordinary skills in order to achieve that "profit" you are talking.

If it's just fun it will still not be interesting.
Just play the "play for fun" mode of any slot out there and let's see if you can play it the whole day or for hours. I doubt you can because there's no money on the line so it's not appealing.
But gamble without fun and you can still play that game. A good example of it is dice. Dice ain't fun, who likes watching it roll the whole day?
So gambling alone can be interesting but combined with fun it gets amazingly fascinating. Slots are fun to play because it's difficult to understand how the multipliers happen. There's an instruction but I highly doubt anyone is reading those.

Its certain that you will definitely lose in gambling, but gambling on the games that you’re not interested at all, that’s just a waste of money and time. I do gamble and lose at times, but since I already understand how gambling casinos work, then I have no choice but to accept my losses. However, the good thing is, even if I lose my expected profits, I still gain the fun and enjoyment I’m looking for. So most probably, a win-win game.

It’s a different story when you are gambling in those games that you’re not even attracted to. While it’s clear that we will end up losing the interest to gamble if we consistently fail to gain profits, but that’s gambling, where losses are high compared to our profits.

I agree with most replies: if you don't win and don't get fun either, what's the point of gambling? If that was the case, I would look for a better place to play, or even consider my gambling habits if the games themselves are not the problem.

Even when we lose, healthy gamblers enjoy the excitement of the game. If you suffer and lose money, it is reasonable to lose interest in the end.

Why would you engage yourself in a game that will not be entertaining, whatever game that you are using to gble should be a game that you love so that you can have all the fun, even when you win or lose. I would not play in a casino with boring games, or games that are not of my interest, so that I don't feel bad when I lose.

If a casino does not have the game of your choice, you can switch over to another one, so that you can enjoy the vibes of gambling.

Do we have a gambling platforms that don't have these two features, profits and fun are the two elements of gambling, its not gambling at all without these two and no gamblers will play in a platform if they do not have a chance to gain profit or enjoy the games.
Gamblers keeps coming back to a casino because they are enjoying the game and they actually win money and gain profit, casinos are multi billion industry because it thrives on the excitement and the opportunity to make profit.
