I don't even know why everyother person is saying that gambling should not be for money making but rather for fun. Though gambling should be more of fun but we should not disproof the fact that gambling is for money making. If gambling is only for fun as everyone is saying, I don't think people who lost thousands of dollars would have did so. Nobody is happy loosing thousands of dollars for fun. If you check this gambling board you guys will notice that most thread created here emphasis more on people that lost alot of money or did incredible things for gambling. I have read about a ma who kidnapped his grand daughter and demanded for $72k for ransom. Another man lost also some thousands of dollars under the influence of drug. All this out together is just toake the money. The only thing that need to be addressed is that we should not expect high hopes on gambling return but. saying that we should not gamble for money always make me feel like there is no need to gamble Afterall because there are thousands of games that don't involve staking your fund.
When one has such intentions and goals then it is obvious that he/she must have expectations of winning which means that if the results do not match the expectations then it will only increase disappointment which in turn emotions dominate and some actions result from impulsive decisions driven by emotions occur which basically as we know that this is what makes one lose a larger amount. You have proven it yourself with your own experience that when you plan to make money but the result is losing but when you gamble without expecting anything the result is winning, and this is what is called "possibility" activity which means you may win or you may lose, and this is also the reason why gambling cannot be used as a place to earn.
