We pay for entertainment, gambling is just too expensive for entertainment when people can chose Netflix to watch movie all day. There is just the urge to gamble and hope to win big and when they lose they still think they are just unlucky and the next day might be lucky.

Although we think the house always win, there is a chance to win and the gambling success stories just hard to ignore. Cheesy

That's the reality in gambling. Even if our main goal is to get entertained and have fun, i guess we still have this emotional urge to get lucky and win big because we get more entertained if we also gain profits aside. Some may say its fine to lose because they get entertained, but i would say it will be more satisfying if we got entertained and then we made money too. I guess it's part of gambling, some may have just overwhelmed by money that they get addicted to gambling to get more money.

I think we already have a lot of topics that discuss this and of course all of them have their own goals and understanding for gambling. for example, a gambling addict considers gambling to be the goal of his life, there is no longer any entertainment in it, there is only how to make him fulfill his desire to play gambling every day. I personally make gambling as entertainment only, when I lose that day, I will return the next day with enthusiasm and confidence to win.

from what I am seeing you I will see everybody is a scholar of it own in gambling tradition and in gambling involvement some people get addicted to gambling because then want to get addicted to it and where have to know that when you get addicted to gambling you'll find it very difficult to get away from it and before you get away from it you must have gloves excessive amount of money that will make you to rethink and I understand but what you are doing is abnormal

I don't think they gamble only because they want to get entertained because there are many ways to get entertained without needing to pay regularly. We have our gadgets, we have our sports, and others that are free. People play gamble also because of the possibility of earning a profit. If they don't win, it's fine because they still feel entertained anyway.

The real reason why casinos are a profitable industry is because of the people that gambles for the sake of making more money. It's hard to win in a casino and when the gambler losses, they will find ways to get more money so that they can be able to play gambling again. Anyone has a chance to win no matter how low the chances are but as long as the casino you are playing with is legit.

Gambling is meant to be played for entertainment while enjoying whether you win or not but majority of gamblers like to win that's why they play. Some of them are intrigued with the reward that's why they choose to play even though they knew their chances of winning is low. But somehow due to excessive losses some people tend to play too much thinking they could take back what they have lost in gambling and the more they think they could win it back the more they are losing and that is what we called addiction.

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.

no gambling that is not profitable it depends on the way you can go and the way you predict your gambling I know that casino gambling pay me is one of the Major industry that is profitable but before now other people has been gambling from different sector to another like soccer game so I believe that with time the development that will come from gambling will be better and will be profitable than casino can bring as many people line up with casino game

I disagree with OP that people gamble because they want entertainment only. Not correct.
People gambol because they want to have money - and when they have money - they are entertained and when they lose the money they are depressed.

when people go to see a musical show, when people go to drink in a bar, when people pay TV channels to watch movies, when people go to soccer stadiums to watch soccer.... and so many other things that people people do, they are paying to be entertained. That's why it wouldn't be different with gambling. in physical casinos for example we can see that people are playing these slot games in the greatest joy and talking and drinking in the casino. it doesn't seem to me that many of them are there in the physical casino focused on winning and having a lot of money, they are looking for fun

Quote from: virasisog on July 11, 2022, 11:45:29 AM

People who gamble for entertainment are those who have lots of allocated funds for it and are not afraid to lose it.

It's not just people with a lot of money who play for fun, even many poor people play for fun. take a good look at the slot games that are installed in the neighborhoods, you will see many people around the machine playing and laughing. they are not expecting to make a lot of money, they are there to have fun

Some people really do play for fun, but some definitely are after for the possibility of winning.
At the back of their minds, they will be more than happy if they will win their games.
For most occasional gamblers, I can agree that they maybe more on the entertainment side.
But for gambling addicts, I believe, it is more than fun that they are looking for but the possibility of chasing their losses, or keeping up with their adrenaline activity.

Not really, every person has their preference like when one person like news than tele series or vice versa. Gamblers have different reasons why they gamble. Like professional gamblers, they gamble because they want to earn money, while others just like what OP stated gamble to have fun. I agree, we buy entertainment when we gamble.

I'd say that casual gambling unlike professional gambling is about the thrill a person can feel when playing with the chances, the money of course only helps to enhance the feeling of uncentainly before the result, this feeling which people like.

The big difference is that when someone pays for Netflix or Disney+, they know what they are getting in return for their purchase, gambling is not like that, as we all know.

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.

I disagree that when I gamble only to buy adrenaline-generating entertainment. There are many options for buying fun entertainment that produces adrenaline and endorphins, I'm not buying fun in gambling just for the need for adrenaline or endorphins. Rock climbing or surfing is more adrenaline-pumping than buying pleasure just for the adrenaline in gambling. when i wanted to gamble in a casino, the adrenaline was already pumping before i started and this feeling is very common to everyone, of course putting in more money will really stimulate adrenaline and endorphins but not to buy entertainment to produce adrenaline and endorphins.

We all have our own reasons to gamble but honestly, most of us gamble because of the hope of hitting the jackpot and making money. We see gamble in different ways.

Different people have different reasons to gamble. I used to come around suggestions on gambling, spend what is allocated for entertainment purposes. If users think in such a way people won't easily get into addiction and big loss. The bad part of gambling happens when we get into gambling with the hope of hitting jackpot. When things didn't go as expected we loss control and keep on spending.

I started betting on sports purely for the fun of it... I remember well the time when I used to watch matches and betting added to my adrenaline... Now the situation has not changed much, and I still bet for fun, but I am still addicted to it... Sometimes I bet on matches I would never have watched before in my life...

I wrote a long time ago that I am surprised by people who complain about "losses" in gambling. Similarly, we "lose" money when we go to the cinema to watch a movie or to a restaurant to drink wine at a price of x5 of the usual price. This is the entertainment fee. And most people, in my opinion, understand this well, and those who try to make a profit out of entertainment get mostly only disappointment.

These are players who are thinking to win and try to challenge the house edge, losing in gambling is inevitable you're naive if you think losing is not normal the key is how to take your losses and feel the fun and excitement in playing, if you get depressed playing then you have the wrong idea and mindset.
You're already a winner if you win or lose then have fun and you can log out and say

wow what a game that's exciting

Yes, Its about having the right mindset, treating gambling as a form of entertainment is healthier
than using it in a serious way to earn money, professional gambling aside, I'm referring to casual
gambling.

Dont forget anyone can fund their gambling wallet with as much or as little as they can
afford or are willing to lose. Not all gambling has to be a problem.

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.

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.

Maybe it could be true, but I see that many gamblers (especially poor people) trying to play in way to obtain some profit, and this isn't a correct way to play, because you risk to become addicted.

As you've said, yes gambling is a sort of entertainment (I like so much to go in a casino and play), but it should be stopped once you've finished your budget, and not playing everything you have.

like i gamble just to fill my spare time during work breaks and consider gambling like playing games.
sometimes when i talk like this a lot of people don't believe it because they think if i play gambling it's just like playing a game, do i not want to win when gambling. but i always answer when i win while gambling, it is just a bonus. but if i lose and the rest of my money runs out, it's a natural thing for me.
maybe my mind has too much adrenaline and endorphins

People do not think that gambling is entertainment, they think that gambling is to make the money and if they do not make money (get loss in gambling), they do not feel entertained. For those people, entertainment is gambling is linked with the results. If they win in gambling, they are entertained and if they lose, they become sad and depressed.

I wish the majority of the people treat gambling as entertainment and not link fun & entertainment with making money.

For most people gambling is just a form of entertainment and that is great if kept controlled. Some people might pop into a casino once a year with friends and throw down a hundred dollars they can spare, fully expecting to lose it all. Other people might buy a lottery ticket simply chasing the dream that a small amount could turn into a big amount if they get really lucky. Others might place a few dollars down a week on a sports bet on big events to "make it interesting". None of these are a problem generally, it's when it becomes a daily thing or amounts get far beyond fun money, at that point gamblers are often chasing losses that they have no hope of regaining in the way that they lost it - it's a downward spiral that needs to be stopped before reaching this point.

Therefore, someone who is addicted to gambling must find new ways to entertain himself. I understand the need for excitement but there are other ways to do it. Take for example, rides in a carnival that is life threatening. Cheesy

Lol you're joking, but for some people riding a rollercoaster doesn't mean anything to their adrenaline since they're wouldn't thought they will die because of this stuff. Actually free falling is the highest excitement sport that would make you feel to not wasting your life for dumb thing.

Quote

I do understand though the expectation to get back whatever was loss. This happens when you cannot forget about it so you keep on betting until you ROI but it doesn't end there, it's actually an endless cycle. When you achieve that moment, it's not entertaining anymore but more like revenge.

Yeah, anyone shouldn't think about their past losses and try to recover as much as they can because it wouldn't end. I'm just curious how many people can bought many branded stuffs and buy an expensive skin for their game characters, but they didn't happy when they spend a lot money on gambling.
