Topic: “RISK” - Motivating factor rather than a Prevention factor in Gambling? - page 2. (Read 1154 times)

risk on its own can not be motivating enough to make people come back so i think in general the factor that you are looking for is not the risk, but the result of taking that risk which is so different.

it means gamblers come back and take a range of risks from small risks to huge risks because of the reward that kind of action brings to you. for example when you play a game with low odds of winning and you put down a decent amount of money you are in fact taking a very big risk but because of this odds you can have a big reward in case you win and that is why people are motivated to come back.

Before, I wasn't really into having fun or entertaining my self when I tried gambling, it is more like a chance for me to earn that time, and I am preventing my self from investing any amount if I know and I see that I am really going to lose.. I really hate risk and turn my money into stones..So probably for me risk is prevention factor...

It is somewhat risk factor because many people don't even think that they are taking risk when they gamble. I saw many people so confident of winning considering them lucky and totally ignoring the risk factor. They lost later because they thought this couldn't happen to them. It is risk factor that's why fun and fear both work same time in gambling.

For me when you say "risk" its a factor(motivating) in gambling but not the prevention one and sometimes they call themselves risk takers because they said no risk no gains. Also it was risk, excitement and luck that gave me a good experience when it comes to gambling.

I have to say yes for me risk is motivating factor in gambling. Gambling is based on risk and there is no prevention when you have put some amount at stake in order to make that more than initial one. It is purely motivation factor because how does it work we can easily understand. I am very clear without any doubt about my opinion what I said.

In my opinion it can be a little from both... Risk is part of the excitement and rush you feel when you gamble but it keeps you in check not gambling away huge amounts.

So I assume that your answer is Motivating when using free money and Somewhat Prevention when using your own money? I agree when playing using free money. Well, since you can't withdraw your claim on the faucet, you tend to play and gamble, take some risk, and when you win then better while when you lose no regrets since it's just the free money from their faucet and you can always claim and try again.

What do you mean by play it safe? Just curious

So your answer is? Are you motivated because of the risk? Anyway, yes, I agree that somehow you need to risk something for you to gain. However, in gambling, if you risk your money, you must expect the worst since the chances of losing is higher than winning.

I agree that we are taking risks in our everyday life, but people being scared into taking risk is not present all the time, so I don't agree that they can't have any progress on their entire life. Back to gambling, yes risk is indeed a feature of gambling, but people might have different reasons on why they became hooked into it.

However, "with every risk comes a reward" isn't working at all times especially on Gambling, right? Mostly, what's happening is, when you choose to get big rewards you'll end up losing most of your earnings, or should I say everything?

I got your point, we are somehow the same with that. But if I can't withdraw the free bits that I claimed on the faucet, no regrets at all when I lost it on their site. People winning on gambling can be an expert or maybe just lucky? For me, gambling is not really in need of skills. Skills and techniques might be an advantage, but without luck both will be worthless.

There is no money that one can afford to lose and even I used to play with free money and the losses used to affect me. When I see people winning big by investing very less in gambling, I just keep thinking that they must be experts in the game.

"Risk" factor is not always a motivating factor and even though I earn money from giveaways from these gambling websites, I don't bet it but just withdraw it. Motivation can be the money given just to gamble.

for me personally it's Somehow Motivating because even i was already know the risk from gambling but sometimes i was curious how fortunate I'm if i playing gambling games although eventually I was shunned by luck and lost all my money

From my own point of view I will say for the risk takers its a form of motivation because they believe that the higher the risk the higher the return and they are ready to go for it. However for the risk averse person, he is not willing to take risk or if he I'll take so little to those people its a prevention factor...my 2 cents...

RISK is more of a preventing factor for me and honestly i can't see how it can motivate someone to gamble. maybe someone who is seeking thrills through taking risks can be motivated this way, but for me when i see the risk i always hesitate to invest my money and since risk is a big factor and it is also high i rarely gamble these days.

For some people, risk is what motivates them to keep on going. Have you heard of a phrase called with every risk comes a reward? thats what actually drive people mad in gambling, although they have lost a big amount however most of them will keep on gambling to get their hands on those rewards ( addiction of gambling is killing them )

if you are goin g to gamble then its clearly because you want to risk your money even me personally, I would consider higher risk better associated to higher rewards etc

I remember that in the past I read some article about differences about investing and gambling. I learned that many experts differentiate gambling from investing by this:
"If you are gambler you are mainly a risk seeker but if you want to invest you try to avert all possibilities of risky elements in your plan."

I gotta agree that this is very easy to understand and interesting concept.

risk is always the motivating factor when doing gambling if you can take it either way win or lose you just need to take it and see the results if failed better luck next time if win go and party party, gambling is just form of entertaining for me, so i just gamble the money that i can afford to lose mate.

Dudes life in itself is an everlasting gamble where we make choices based on risk every single day without noticing. But life tends to give us lower odds so some clever people invented gambling in order to make our lives more interesting and have bigger odds to bet on  Jokes aside running a bigger risk results in higher satisfaction from gambling so in a way risk is an intrinsic feature of gambling. Scared money makes no money and this pertains perfectly to life itself because scared people make no progress either in their whole lifetime.

Knowing the risk is good to prevent you from being addicted to gambling.
You would know how much you can afford to lose and you won't bet too heavily.

Yeah, when I look at some of the risks inside the gambling, I decided to play gambling only to want to find the atmosphere and eliminate all thoughts that makes me lazy. However I also restrict and control themselves in order not to give a negative effect while gambling. Risk is a factor in the prevention of gambling

You need to risk something if you want to get or achieved something. In gambling you need to risk to gain something. Even if you are playing faucet you are still risking something. If you are gonna do a business you will also risk your time , effort and money. Well if you don't gamble that is nice keep it that way because gambling will always make you poor.

I think mostly it reminds me that I could easily lose what I am gambling and makes me more aware that the gambling sites win in the long run. However, to win you must risk something so I can see how it could be motivating in some way.
