In real sense we are actually paying for fun and entertainment through gambling. What makes this entertainment unique is the fact that chances of winning while risking our funds exist so this consciousness makes our body produce adrenalin and endorphins
while loses surrounds each prediction. The ability to say no to this impulses is what saves gamblers from addiction. No gambler planned on becoming compulsive but their inability to control this impulses gave addiction a chance

The big dream is what makes people want to try huge risks and one of them is gambling where people can turn the table of their life but in reality, gambling brings more harm than benefits. When you lose, it affects your mental health even though you only looking for fun and you start to get addicted once you won big. That's what people should really consider and ponder when they take the first step to entering a casino because more likely they won't be the same person when they get out.

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.
It depends. I am not an addict, I use just less than 5% of my weekly income to gamble. Gambling is not a compulsion for me. If I am losing, I am not depressed unlike before. I do not know if my body have hormonal response to gambling after when I am not addicted anymore, but it feels good.
Normally, human body have hormonal response to what is happening in their environment. Even anything that makes you feel excited will increase your bodily secretion of adrenaline, one of the functions of adrenal gland and other adrenaline secretory glands in the body. If the body feel stressed, endorphins ate telased.

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. 
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.

People I know who gamble a lot are out there playing because of money. He isn't saying that it's for entertainment. He even says that if it's not about the money, he won't play in a casino or online, for that matter. It's probably just different people with different perspectives on what they will do with their time. Maybe they just want to spend the time or feed their greed inside and hope that it will be helpful for them in the long run if they get the jackpot.

Yes, right. People not only play gambling but also buy entertainment because gambling games can pleasure them. But that is what causes many people to become addicted and cannot stop immediately because the temptation of gambling is so great and they find it difficult to stop it. From those who are curious about what gambling is like, trying to play with spare money, trying to increase the amount of money used to gamble until they finally become addicted. This is just a ticking time bomb that can give them trouble; if they don't realize it, they will have a serious addiction.

Isn't this already obvious?
Time an again there are topics made on the forum regarding how, gambling should be taken as an entertainment and not a way to earn loads of money, its essentially a way to increase your dopamine, for some people they might relish in the thrill of climbing mountains or going scuba diving as well, which means that gambling in every sense would be an important link in even communities as well, some of the countries have history of gambling as well, blackjack and other card games are enjoyed by everyone around, be it your grandfather or even you.

There's the scientific explanation about those hormones on why we keep on gambling even though we understand that we're not winning.
I have thought of this as something that I just do for entertainment and if I lose, I'll think of it that I've just paid for the entertainment value that I've got despite I really gamble to win and make some and win some.

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.
I've seen with my own eyes, someone did a gambling bet, really just for fun and entertainment, it doesn't matter if you lose or win, it's not a fairy tale, a fact.What that person did, made me dumbfounded, because the person won about $10,000 in bets, he said everything in this restaurant I paid for food, I won gambling, eat all you can.
What @fortunecrypto said, in this topic I don't argue with it, some people really gambling has its own charm for its users, wins bets, they really want to buy entertainment for themselves and their relatives.

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

There’s is Netflix with cheap subscription if people just need entertainment in gambling, Gambling was supposed to be for fun only that’s many players used that as reason to play and cover there depressed feelings when lose. But in reality, Most of gamblers wants to win because that’s will give them fun and not the losses. Let’s be honest here that no one is happy when you lose, There’s a part in our brain that really feel said when we lose no matter how hard we denied it.

It's something that some people did not understand.
When you are criticized for being a gambler because they think that you are just wasting money, then it's wrong.
We might lose money in gambling but if we are still getting the entertainment we are expecting, then it's not wasting money.
Going to the moviehouse paying money is a waste of time if you will not enjoy the movie, but if you will enjoy it, it's not.
Therefore gambling is not a waste of money for those who enjoyed it.

I guess there is some truth in what you said gambling is fun and dangerous at the same time that's why some gamblers feel the adrenaline rush when they are gambling i guess its a bit like smoking but in reality its not a healthy thing since people are losing their money.

Quite right. It is surprising that for many people this is some kind of discovery. This is probably due to the fact that the stories that we hear about gambling are mostly high-profile incidents like "the gambler lost his salary for 10 years and fled the country." Similarly, stories about people with gambling addiction who find themselves in various problematic situations. But 99.99% of the cases where a person just went to the casino, just spent $100 in exchange for entertainment, and just returned home do not attract our attention.

In one sense it is true. I have seen many gamblers who do not gamble for money. Sports or casino can be your lonely companion. This can be one of the best ways to spend your free time. Where you will never be bothered. However, it has been seen many times that many people lost control and become addicted to it.

Yea, it's fun losing money If you would like to say it that way.
I would rather spend those bills with my friends and family actually enjoying something in real life.
Imagine being a loner and losing thousands and didn't even tell anyone bout it, no flex I would say.

There are some people I guess who gamble with friends and family and get a lot of fun
and entertainment from it. But yea its a very fine line between entertainment and
being totally ruined.
Entertainment is a very general topic, people spend vast amounts of money on hobbies
all for the sake of entertainment so why not Gambling?
Gambling does have a stigma attached to it but it anyone can manage the expectations,
the mentality and possible addiction then why not.

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.

Maybe gambling for them is a way to produce adrenaline and endorphins without having to do extreme sports, but would it be wiser if they did it by playing video games. Because I think to produce adrenaline and endorphins doesn't have to be a gamble, because there are many other ways to produce that energy. But indeed, every individual has their own way and if they choose to keep gambling maybe it is an easy and convenient way for them to produce the adrenaline and endorphins they want.

It is very interesting. I think it is also a way to affirm our will to win, our will to have power. Or at least, for me there is also this aspect...
