Topic: Survey: Understanding Gamblers and Their Feelings - page 3. (Read 1326 times)

It is true that most gamblers gamble for money, but a significant number of them gamble for entertainment and profit from it. Wealthy gamblers are more likely to engage in this trend and try to fill their wallets. Gamblers with relatively little money continue to gamble to increase their wealth and to be positively affected by it. Among those who gamble for money there are also people of different classes who gamble in proportion to their income.
I think that income is the motivation that can make gamblers addicted by making them compulsive which allows them to lose more money. To avoid addiction be prepared to lose more while gambling and spend time for entertainment.

For me, I gamble most of the time to just pass time, that is like example, the day I am back from work early and having nothing to do, I could lay down to sleep but sleep is not yet forthcoming, so instead of me just laying there and thinking about one thing or the other that isn't really of any importance, I simply pick of my phone, log into my preferred casino at that moment, and start playing either casino or slot games, or betting on live matches.

This is not to say that I don't that I don't gamble for money also, I do gamble to win money, but this is not all the time.
I can only get online to gamble to win money anytime I feel luck around me, like I just have that feeling or hunger inside of me to gamble and see if I can win some money, I do this too, but like I said before, not all the time.

Well, gambling to earn money is not surprising at all as we all aim for that. Even for those who are rich gamblers, their main goal is still to make more money. What may be surprising is that you only gamble just because you have no other means to dispose your money and so you take the risk in gambling. While others gambling could give them relaxation and get free from the stressful day job, but majority do gamble in order to feed their greed and make more money as much as possible.

Yeah right. Money is what makes gambler happy in the end of the games since those gambling game experience is just like a normal boring game if you won’t apply real cash on it.

There’s a lot of casino games which you can play for free via demo mode which user that seeking fun only and telling not aiming to earn profit can use it to satisfy their entertainment cravings yet the majority still choose to play in real mode since money makes the gambling interesting and fun evem the most boring game like dice game.

It’s just important to consider to play responsibly by playing only an amount that you can afford to lose so that you can gamble without the risk of damaging your finances in the long run.

Many gambling players cannot admit to themselves why they are gambling, although it is obvious that everyone is in it for the money. The fact is that big money can change anyone's life, destroying all the usual hateful foundations. All the annoying everyday reality that hangs like shackles on each of us. And many of us live like this for decades, unable to change the environment. And the hope that everything will change leads every gambler, and you need to have the strength to admit it.

This is what we call peer pressure, and it's good that mentioned it, because some form or vices like smoking has also been a subject of this kind of implicit or explicit influence on us when we are young. Maybe as you describe it, you felt a sense of belonging and teamwork.

But I do agree that one reason is that we want to multiply our money, and win big when when gamble. Of course we don't think about the mental toll that it will bring to us when we lose that money because all we think is that we can double or triple our capital. But if we lose everything, that's where all the regret sets-in.

I also accept that very social reasons aspect of gambling, am a victim of this circumstances , yeah, growing up within few of friends wasn't that easy for me at some point where whenever we are together I usually don't have anything to contribute whenever they start having this conversation of gambling especially that of the football betting from different leagues, nations and all of that, I usually feel left out and at some point I had to become enthusiastic about it, I began to fans Arsenal team because my cousins is one of them and the whole thing became more interesting till date, that's quite funny though.

You dont need to make a survey, because answer is clear, people gamble for money only No matter what they tell or how sweet their lies sound, they do it only for money (I am a liar too )People cant simply confess with that. Forget I gamble to get emotions, for fun, as all in all ends with money measurement. Everyone has only their own threshold how much to spend, when greed and pity for a loss starts while having fun and excitement.

I think you just stated the obvious and facts as they are, even though we can't really read peoples mind but in reality without shying away from the truth, majority of gamblers gamble for the money, am very happy that you made it clear for people to know the major reason why you gamble.
Personally I also gamble for the money but as a gambler that understands that in gambling we aren't sure of the outcome of any gambling event, am always careful and ready to accept any outcome at anytime since I know I don't control it, this stated facts are they reason why I chose to gamble with the funds that I can let go if things fail to work in my favour, for me i don't gamble because of may be I feel that it's future secured that's a no no for me and i belive it should be a no no for individual gamblers that understand the concept of gambling rather i gamble with open mind but if anything happens in my favour very excellent but if it doesn't life goes on and am ok.

It's essential to see gambling as an entertainment or having fun, because what most people are suffering today in gambling is a result of seeing gambling as a place to make quick money, which have often lead them to too much losses in gambling. Normally as a good gambler, for you to prevent losses or addiction in gambling is to take gambling as a way to pass time, that's the best way now. then maybe any day the luck is on your side you win rather than seeing it as a get rich quick scheme.

More people gamble for Money than we think.  Just look at what happened to the Trump and Melania Tokens.  People are gambling their Money to try and earn more of it.  Now look how many there are!

Very, VERY few people I know of who gamble do it for stress relief or entertainment purposes.  I truly believe in my experience it is an average of 8 to 9 people out of 10 who gamble to earn more.  It is a combination of adrenaline and potential for winnings.  Nothing more.

You need to be very strong mentally to do this only out of fun.  In fact.  I believe the voting options are not well thought.  People who gamble out of stress and to solve their problems may do this because they know more Money will solve their problems, which still counts as gambling for more Money.

I started gambling with the intention to win money, but when I noticed that it was very difficult to win money in gambling, I changed my mindset from gambling to win money to gambling to pass the time or have fun. Since winning money in gambling is difficult, I now gamble to pass the time or have fun so that I will not see gambling as a way to get rich, and this has helped me to always use the money I can afford to lose whenever I gamble since I always see gambling as a way to pass time or have fun.

My observation is this – Making the results viewable is going to cause bias and cheating as members are likely to take a peep at the results before voting. Anyway, that's just by the way.

For gamblers, no one wants to throw their hard earned money on bets they're certain won't win. Every gambler likes to win and that's why I don't agree with the "I'm gambling for fun" approach people say they adopt. For me, the motivation is "win". It runs all through the options for me. Nothing satisfies a gambler like winning.

You're right on that but we've to realize that not everyone has that strength of character to confront issues headlong. To such people they submerge themselves in activities that can give them that euphoric feeling which gambling may afford them.

Because hobbies and sports betting that match do provide their pleasure and interest for me and maybe other gamblers like you. That was the first step, but after making bets for a long time, the motivation to bet has now changed. Pleasure becomes another form of winning some money from betting. Gradually, making money from gambling now may be more in line with the gambling activities that I do.

Of course most people gamble because they are influenced by their surroundings or friends who also often gamble which makes us curious and finally joins in playing, there are even friends who invite and teach, and this is the same as what I experienced at the beginning. However, for betting on several types of sports betting, especially soccer sports betting, because I do have a hobby of playing soccer and I also often watch soccer matches. And I often bet on soccer just to add to the sensation and also be more excited when watching it, and besides that I can increase my knowledge and also find out about developments or other problems that occur in the team and what's even more exciting is that before making a bet I consider this bet to have a challenge that makes me do research, look for accurate information as a whole and so on that makes me feel challenged. And this is a different bet from the others because it can educate and also increase knowledge about sports, and the amount of the bet does not have to be much but the excitement and challenge will create its own papacy, losing there is no regret because I bet not in a large amount and if I win I have an extraordinary sense of joy and consider everything I do is not in vain and I consider it a bonus or luck from my hard work when doing research and so on.

Adrenaline rush is kind of entertainment for me, you know, when you make a bet, something that you bet become more interesting and you make sure that you've doing your best to win the game.

Drinking or gambling to escape from the problem is technically not correct, but it's more appropriate to make you better for a while before making decision. It's not really make you bad, but sometime you need time to made good decision.

I disagree, pleasure and entertainment can be gained during gambling, not always when we win.

If not for money what else does people gambles for? Since you and I knows that many people gambles with the intention to earn money additionally to their income and vast majority of people within the world gamble for the purpose of making additional income but if there were any means they have winning then it's a plus to them them than when they don't gamble at all, most times they spare little funds to catch the fun they needs but their major targets are solely for the winning they would derived from the gambling they are involving themselves with.

There’s a lot of gambler that still play crash games, limbo and other adrenaline base games which called adrenaline junkie gamblers. I’m not one with you guys but I totally understand why you are seeking that kind of experience on gambling since experiencing a nerve wrenching situation and manage to win it feels like a great achievement in the end.

For me win money is my main priority since this dictates my final feelings when I’m done with gambling. I’m not suggesting that I gamble to chase profit rather it will give me more satisfaction if I will ended up in profit.

Before voting, I didn't expect that there would be many like me who would gamble for 'adrenaline rush', but I am glad with results while I am quite disappointed that top is to 'win money', I wonder how many were successful with it  

It cannot be denied that there is a lot of money in gambling, that's for sure, even though many gamblers don't find it, I think money is the main basis for people flocking to the world of gambling.

If the goal you asked about, I would choose another, my goal for gambling is not just to win money, there are several reasons why I do it, for example: I gamble like challenges. When we bet there are many challenges in the game, there I felt challenged to finish the game, even though the situation was later I couldn't win it, but I had done it.

Another reason, the adrenaline when I make a bet I really feel the stimulation of my brain in excitement, that situation occurs when I play a game, especially when I play Pliko, Blackjack, games, Roulette and the like and many other reasons or goals I gamble, relieving stress also comes in.
