I really like gambling it truly entertains me x) indeed, I often lose some money, but it's not so important to me. I like the feeling of risk and it's cool to guess whether I will win now or not, whether the round will be successful or not. I don't bet large sums, but luck has been kind to me lately, so maybe soon I will play big... 
I can only congratulate you for being able to get lucky and being able to get the winning money. But I hope you can think twice before you decide to play big because your luck isn't necessarily with you anymore. And if you really want to keep using big money to bet, don't bet too big if you can't afford to lose that money. Hopefully, you can win big again in the next round of gambling games so that the money you collect from gambling can be even bigger.

Gambling gives people the opportunity to experience very strong emotions. 

Therefore, many are willing to spend big money on gambling.

Problems begin when a person does not have a lot of money, but he wants to play because he already has an addiction. The desire to realize their needs is very often tied to financial opportunities. There are people who take yourself a hundred dollars at evening, and just go to the casino to spend it, then it's just like entertainment. Although personally for me it's a big money. But when a person goes purposefully to win, and loses his money, then he tries to win back and loses everything, then this is already a big problem.

Well, that's the thing with gambling, it only takes one big loss for you to basically be financially ruined. If you enjoy it just for fun, it might be better to keep the betting amount low, because that way you can afford more games.

Why will I risky loses because I think I am gambling for fun. Well there are notable people who just gamble not for the money initially but for the fun they get in it and along side they do make good amount of money along side with there pleasurable gambling.

Do understand that money isn't a problem for some people. While you worship money and always want to earn it. There are individual would enjoy wasting the money because the have it in excess and don't value it. This individual hardly have fun as those around them tend to fake it so it's usually them seeking for satisfaction in other activities which gambling is always be their favorite as it produced a chemical that bring excitement.

Gambling produce dopamine which is responsible for bringing excitement and some individual get this from both winning or losing their bet as such they tend to turn to gambling as a means of entertainment instead of actually engaging in other activities that regular individual do to bring about excitement like watching of sports etc.

Yes, money is distributed very unevenly among people in the world. 

There are no people 5 meters tall.  However, there are people who own $5 billion.... 

For some people, making big money is not a problem.  At the same time, every person (even a person who is very rich) wants to experience a wide range of different emotions.  People need emotions.

Gambling gives people the opportunity to experience very strong emotions. 

Therefore, many are willing to spend big money on gambling.

Name one rich person who lost everything in gambling from the self made millionaires of nowadays by working very hard and also having a lot of luck.Yes probably no one and that is the truth.I know a lot of people though who become rich through state lotteries and massive jackpots won at the big Las Vegas casinos and 99% of such people lost it all again because they had a big problem with money management,they had never thought that they would need to manage such huge amount of money.

Differently the self made millionaires through working hard and having luck they know that gambling is designed against them and they the very rich people of our time don't lose money in gambling like those who were not prepared mentally to handle such amounts.So it is not always the case that people will spend big money on gambling.

...gambling responsibly. Do not be addicted.
From the experience I have playing continuously it still won't give me any benefits, even though winning is no longer a top priority but when I lose too often then I start to feel tired. Because I personally cannot ignore that entertainment and fun in gambling can be obtained when we get more wins and not losses. But maybe, the way they gamble is the same as buying entertainment, it may have a different way, because if they play with friends even through online gambling, it's still fun. But if it is only done alone for a long time, then the feeling of tiredness and boredom will still be a feeling that cannot be eliminated.
When I was gambling alone, it was not fun or entertainment for me, it even become something of addiction for me, gambling alone is not fun at all, I can even just stop gambling if gambling alone. The only time I gambled alone that I can remember after when I have stopped gambling alone are gambling on important matches like UCL and this hapoen if I am not having the time to watch the match with my friends. We can be up to five in just a bar having fun with gambling, using just little amount of money. The best thing I like with friends is the advice we can give one another not to use high amount of money to gamble.

Gambling is for both winning and buying entertainment but it is limited because the rate of losing is higher the the rate of winning.

This should be expected since the major product is entertainment, winning is just an extra package if we happen to be lucky.

   Most gambling are games we understand and know very well, so because of this we feel we are experts in them.This motivates us into involving cash into the game believing we must win.

I don't think it is because I am feeling expert that I involve cash,  remember we are buying entertainment, that directly involved cash in the first place.

  Now imagine when you are entertaining yourself and you still get paid for it meaning you win.You will feel more excited this is what keeps you gambling forgetting there is a house edge.

It would feel great of course.  Imagine, we are just playing games to entertain ourselves then we got lucky and get 1000x of our spent money?  That would feel great.

Yeah, that's part of the techniques used by casinos to keep gamblers playing as long as possible.

The longer you gamble, the closer you get to the mathematics behind it all that say that the casino will win in the end.

Every time the gambler wins something, he wants to stay a bit more. If it was only losing, less people would stay.

If you know it to yourself that you are not good in handling your finances, then it's much better to rethink about entering and playing gambling. Gambling requires self-discipline and restraint and if someone doesn't possess those, the results could very much equate to chaos because of losses. Financial and risk management is essential in gambling. If you don't know how to properly allocate your funds and if you don't know when to continue or stop playing, then most probably you'll end up losing and go bankrupt.

Someone must first master discipline before diving into gambling since gambling addiction is no joke.
Many of us can easily handle or manage our finances but the moment we try gambling, things then change. This happens to me as well, that is why I let my wife handle my finances for a while. She also plays gambling but that was rare and I know that she has a strong control of herself whenever she gambles. When we are gambling it's best to set up a timer and when that timer runs out, that should be an indication that we should stop now and it does not matter if we are winning or losing.

I saw many professional gamblers are doing this strategy on their streams. I think that is to prevent their selves from getting addicted in the game.

I think it's just that, superstition. As far as I know every casino, online or offline, is tightly regulated, and the software has to pass certain certifications and checks so that they can prove the probabilities to win or lose for the player.

I don't think online casinos will risk their licence taken away for doing that kind of stuff. They already earn a lot of money by just doing normal casino business.

It's just another one of those things that some gamblers like to think, but it's just not true. Like for example that if there has been a few blacks in a row, then a red is "due" next. There's just no such thing.
Provably fair was created literally for this reason. It was on dice and we do not have provably fair games all the time anymore, casino world literally pushed tens of thousands of games all at once to make sure that we play those games because when you had 10 games with provably fair and 10k games without it, you start to gamble there as well.

In the end, provably fair would have solved 90% of all the problems. The fact that we are still playing games with just software backed and nothing more, shows the proof that we are not going to end up with anything substantial at all. So, maybe we should get back to basics, that would allow us to get a lot better.

Compulsive gambling is like drug intake you just don't get enough not until theirs nothing else (substance) to take in again. Whether adrenaline or not the feeling will always come to a halt immediately there's no more money to keep up with the gambling at the moment.
That's right. Myself was saying to stop when there's no money left in my pocket for that and so the point is ourselves. It's about how we can stop to take the drug and so if we able to control it, we will be also able controlling our emotion. Seeing gambling as entertaint was not true at all caused by some people are eyeing gambling as a way to doubling their money instantly. There was so many cases when people are using this way as alternative way to doubled their money instantly. Investing in the instrument asset takes some time to make it happen but if you're lucky enough and this can be a way to give you instant money. The reality if people are seeing gambling from the various perspective that will create different opinion about that.


There are many aspects that affects the gambling principle of each gamblers, there are some who find it as entertainment while there are serious gamblers who see this venue as opportunities to win and earn, but everything always depends from your perspective as gambler, if you are okay in losing but you have been entertained you can treat it as payment for that enjoyment.

But if you are hoping to earn and double your money, it can be the start of your adrenaline to keep wanting to win and the next thing to happen is unknown, possible to get addicted or you can be a good gamer with good discipline.

This is why casinos are the most profitable industry, many people are not playing to win, they all know that there is a house edge and they will eventually lose but based on the study, people are buying entertainment.

Of course people are paying for entertainment.  I vast majority of the people gambling must realize the odds are stacked against them.  They do it because the idea of maybe hitting it rich and having the best night ever is worth paying for.  Sure, most people don't have that experience, but if you keep playing long enough eventually you'll get a decent win worth celebrating.  The rush of maybe having today be the day you get the win of your life is too much for some to resist.  They get addicted to chasing that rush.  Like an athlete changing teams hoping to celebrate another championship.  
From the experience I have playing continuously it still won't give me any benefits, even though winning is no longer a top priority but when I lose too often then I start to feel tired.

~ There are really people just ignore how much money they have as long as they satisfied themselves playing gambling, we know how gambling gives a good satisfaction and entertainment to the player that's the reason why in some point gambling is for the rich because they can really waste their money because they have a lot of assets to sustain this kind of hobby and there are some people already addicted in gambling but hard to invest with their assets to make more money to grow.

Since you can place any bets, not just high ones, the notion that "gambling is for the rich" can't be correct. Rich person can gamble with tens of thousands and poor can gamble with just a few bucks, and the thrill for both of them is the same. In fact poor people gamble more than rich ones, according to statistics. But, of course, the amounts they spend are incomparable.

People have a lot of money could play and wage more because they didn't mind too much money and they just seek fun and get entertained, poor people make gambling because they see this as the easiest way opportunity to make an earning as fast as they can once they hit the jackpot, some of them want to gamble more might because they want to earn back their losses and hoping to get a jackpot, unlike the rich people they neglect no matter how much they earn as long as it satisfied themselves.

Quote
The first thing to note is that people don’t just gamble for the prospect of winning. Mark Griffiths, a psychologist at Nottingham Trent University who specializes in behavioral addictions points out that gamblers list a wide range of motivations for their habit.

Even when you’re losing while you’re gambling, your body is still producing adrenalin and endorphins – Mark Griffiths, Nottingham Trent University
.

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20160721-the-buzz-that-keeps-people-gambling

This adrenalin and endorphins are what feed gamblers to gamble more without logical reason even to the point that they have no chance to win.

Many of us here will say that we are gambling for entertainment but this is the same reason why compulsive gamblers put in more money they want to feel high, so if you say I gamble for fun does this mean you admit you are buying entertainment to produce adrenalin and endorphins, so you keep on putting more money to get that feeling regardless if you win or lose.

Compulsive gambling is like drug intake you just don't get enough not until theirs nothing else (substance) to take in again. Whether adrenaline or not the feeling will always come to a halt immediately there's no more money to keep up with the gambling at the moment.

I really do not see any fun in gambling,the only fun that can come is when one wins a big money that will elevate his stutue maybe from broke to rich.It is good to gamble,but it is not good to be addicted to gambling,and the question comes.How can one be one involved in gambling,and won't be addicted to gambling? the question may be hard to answer,but it it is open to everyone to give his or her own answer to it.
