Topic: The cost of having fun is gambling really worth it (Read 58 times)

First you need to defined what you want in gamble. Gambling is of two phase; gambling for additional income, and lastly gambling for having fun.
1-. Gambling for having fun you wouldn't focused or channeling your mindset towards what you gain from the gambling site or be it local shops. When you are gambling your Joy is solely relying on the easing moment you are having while gambling and you wouldn't put an amount you can't afford to lose and it should be within your means as small as you can't even have that feeling you are losing anything from gambling, that is gambling for fun.

2-. Gambling for additional income or extra income; on this you only interested on the amount to win you won't consider the fun aspect rather you are looking at the benefit. Of course there are people who go stake games without them seating to watch the matches, this is entirely gambling for additional income, you see them regularly doing their focast and analysis towards teams or clubs to play this weekend, these sets of people do not worry about the fun aspect rather focuses on the benefits. Yes, of a true we all gamble for the benefit of earning money but everyone interest can never be the same as extra earning from the gambling site.

So, with my classification you can choose where you question belongs.

It will only depend on how you feel about gambling. If gambling is an entertainment for you, then the cost of this pleasure will depend on how much you are willing to pay for this pleasure. And accordingly, for everyone, the cost of this pleasure will vary depending on the size of the deposit.

It is worth it if you REALLY enjoy gambling, but if not, we could find it a waste of time and money.

But first—we also determined our purpose of going to the casino. I will tell you, OP, that not all who go there or gamble online just to have fun, as the majority look for money. Yes, winning is always in our minds; can't deny that. So just saying to make fun, that is optional. Unless, if you are a rich guy who doesn't care about losing your money.

Your mindset is on making money first, and the entertainment side is only secondary, and most of the time you will be happy if you make money; it should be the other way around.
You treat it as a form of entertainment with a chance to make money if opportunity presents itself; it's not really that costly if you play money with allocated money and not your whole savings.
Treat gambling like you are going to watch your favorite concert or watching a movie and eating in the fast food; these two do not have an expectation of return financially but on the mental well being.

Not everybody needs to bet an amount they can't afford to lose in order to have fun.  Most of the bets I made last year were only a dollar or two risked.  If you aren't having fun, you either don't like to gamble or you're putting too much on the line.  Think of all the old folks with their years of wisdom.  Most of the time you see them at penny slots.  They've learned to stretch out what they enjoy instead of going for a big score.

Gambling is not fun when you have a different mindset to make returns from your gambling but when you gambling with the mindset of just taking chances on what you enjoy then it becomes entertaining. Having the idea of wanting a return makes you go beyond what you can afford to lose and as such you try to get it back lead yourself into the part of gambling addiction and greedy assists you to achieve the addiction.

Gambling is not for the faint hearted it's just always a game of what you think is fun

Different people continue to have different opinions about gambling. However, even though you hear people talk about gambling in that way most of the time, if you still do not think it is fun, know that there are people who think it is fun and do not even gamble to make money.

Gambling is fun; it's entertaining, and it's also a money-making means for some, so how much you spend on gambling depends on what purpose you are playing it for. If it's for the fun alone, the amount you spare for playing will reduce; you can't spend as much as those who are chasing profit will spend; it's as simple as that, but whichever reason you are gambling for, money will be spent, and sometimes you earn some back based on how skilful and lucky you are at the same time.

That's a pretty subjective thing to ask though since enjoyment can vary. I mean have you ever asked a woman if all the fancy bags they have is worth the cost? If all the games that a gamer has, even if it wasn't 100% completed, worth it? I view spending in gambling just the same as these things because it's for FUN.

Just forget all about the probability stuff and chance, that's PART of the game. Someone would (or could) still enjoy a round of valorant, cs, basketball, tennis, etc. even if they're losing no? Same thing here. Granted there's a limit ofc, and if you start going past that limit, then no amount of enjoyment would probably be worth it. I reckon you're not even in it for the enjoyment in the first place at that point.

Do you know people go to the club to have fun and some of this people throw thousands of dollars in the air not to talk of the Amount they purchase alcohol with,
So someone throwing thousands of money in the air fun and someone gambling for fun who has at least a chance of gaining? I think the answer is the gambler.
So we all have different definitions of fun it's best we don't tell people how to have fun.

When putting money into gambling for the purpose of having fun, you’re not making some sort of investment to earn profit or get the money back. Because winning in gambling isn’t guaranteed at all, so if you’re putting any amount into gambling, it should be an amount you can afford to lose, or money not meant for something else, so that when it eventually vanishes, you wouldn’t feel bad or regret about it.
So you gotta stop looking at gambling from that particular perspective and I believe you’ll get to enjoy gambling more.

Many considers gambling as fun and entrainment with a view to relaxing and getting yourself busy whiling away time but critically looking at what gambling entails where money is used in having this fun by way of betting on events that are highly uncertain and the probability of you making return on the money that you use in gambling is not sure so this lead me to the question is gambling really having fun and entrainment because if it's the cost of this fun is really huge and it's really not worth it
