I couldn't agree more with those gamblers saying that they gamble just for fun because the truth is that people gamble in the hope of multiplying their money. But from what we have witnessed and seeing the sentiment of the majority, we definitely see that they feel disappointed when losing. Which is not really the behavior of gamblers who just think about entertaining themselves. A real gambler never seeks winning but pleasure and fun.
Hearing the news that some people committed suicide and crimes can also prove that my statement is right. Maybe I'm wrong, but what I've seen is enough to say that gamblers are here for money, not for fun.
I also wanted to hear opinions from others.
Think of a game that doesn't involve money... a board game, a soccer match with friends, a card game (no money involved), etc... are you happy when you lose? Obviously not!
You don't need to have money involved to want to win. Winning, with or without money, satisfies our desire and increases the pleasure of the game. However, if I lose several times, I will certainly be sad, even if I don't show it sometimes.
So, now imagine that you put money into a game for entertainment purposes. You are paying to have fun, it is not something free. Even if your intention is not to multiply your money, the person will certainly be very upset if they cannot achieve their goals, because they paid for it and did not get what they wanted.
I play for fun, and I am satisfied when I win, but very frustrated when I quickly lose my money and cannot have fun.
