Topic: They know the truth but they don't want to accept it, publicly - page 10. (Read 1259 times)

People will hardly tell you that they are gambling to make money while within ourselves we know the truth but real case there is that you don't need to put all hope over there whenever you gambling or places bets because there are no assurance that covers you to win the gamble. That is why most often say they gamble for fun, the fun there is don't put your trust that you would make fortune from gambling that is why most people makes those statements, otherwise I don't think if anyone could have a deep interest in playing games while there are other things that could fetched money on their table.

Most likely yes but there are people who are using some sort of casino add on which is SocialTournaments website that tries to promote Pragmatic Play slot machines,you can play there for free and win real cash money,many people use this as a way to stop gambling addiction from slot machines.

Except these people many would quit as those who are stating we are playing for the fun of it most likely as you say are hiding behind it as in the end of the day everybody is gambling to win money.

I think you are telling the real facts here. Because up to now we think gambling is just for fun, but when faced with a big win, the initial intention finally turns into a goal. I don't deny it, in fact I personally admit it. Money is still a measure of whether a person gambles or not. And with facts that we are always embarrassed to admit, sometimes we cover them up for entertainment reasons.

You have a healthy mindset in looking at gambling, it is very rare for people to think and be able to accept the actual fact that gambling will absolutely not provide them with income, even if it can be that maybe only one or two wins and obviously that is not income but only a prize because there is no consistent element in getting it. And it's also better that way than you continue to defend your selfish feelings that always assume that you can earn there but the facts that happen always lose at the end of the match. Therefore, it is better to make peace with ourselves between the wrong mindset along with high expectations and the logic of the truth and facts that occur. True, it is not at all easy to get a win there because it is clear that the percentage of wins is much lower than losses, which means that losses will continue to dominate you.

Casinos have arranged everything there, and they will make all the chances of losing bigger for all gamblers, so this is really an activity for fun, on the other hand yes I understand that fun there is also very involving money, meaning that the money factor has an important role to make people happy, but that is only for when winning. Absolutely agree, if we don't focus on winning money there then surely they won't be tempted.

When it comes to gathering, theres a social feeling or general assumptions that gambling is bad, either religious views, or cultural views, there is a general agreement that gambling is bad and this is one reason why people tend to gambling privately and in their closet.

Also, nobody is gambling for passion, gambling is not a job or an hobby, instead GAMBLING is a means to an end. This is why even gambling platforms does adverts that says "gamble responsibly" and if you visit gambling hubs, their agents will restrict your entrance if you visit to gamble multiple times etc.

Why do people gamble desperately? Lack of MONEY, UNEMPLOYMENT!

You need to know if there's no money or reward you risk, it's not a gambling anymore.

If you can be fun by playing a game without risking something, why not? no one force you to gamble.

But playing a game without betting would be boring for a long time since there's no adrenaline and feel excited to win. That's why gambling become better than just playing a game alone.

I don't have a desire or attraction for free money through gambling because I know it's not as easy to make money that way. Yes, for me, gambling is about having fun and entertainment, but can we sincerely claim that it can't be truly enjoyable without the monetary element? There is still an underlying hope of winning.

Yes, I am willingly spending my money for the sake of enjoyment in gambling as long as I am aware of the risks and potential outcomes. But if you're not focused on the money, you won't become addicted.

No, let's be honest, money is the main purpose why there is casino, casino or gambling is an entertainment yes, but money makes the casino, casino or gambling to gambling, I could still play casino with friends and such but it will be more fun if theres a money involved. That is the most practical reasoning why gambling and casino is alive.

The majority will quit if money is not involved but a lot of people really gamble for fun. Maybe I am wrong but imagine playing in a casino with your friends, are you and both of your friends really after the money? Practically speaking yes as we are hoping to win but the part of bonding and also the enjoyment with them is the first thing we want. We go to casinos to have fun rather than to make money. This is the same with drinking alcoholic beverages. Are you after the beverage you are drinking or does the bond with your friends and the conversations while drinking matter most?

It's better that way than trying to deceive yourself that you can really make money from gambling, I used to have that mindset for many months I thought that beating the house was possible, I thought all I needed was a good method, perseverance and money to make even a small profit, I tried everything until I found out I'm just trying to fool myself and I could possible lose everything my mind and my money.
It's better to accept the truth, you can possibly win and you can win while having fun, you're not intentionally giving your money away but your priority is to have fun and if there's an opportunity to make money then go for it just don't make it your main priority.

If specific cases of behavior are given, I think there will be clearer answers. Actually, I think there are also parts of people who use money to find happiness and gambling is an option. But it's clear that attraction, or a certain magic, always makes players excited or miserable when exposed to it for a long time. I also spent a long time in debt with the pleasures of gambling (addict). So at some point we will also receive new lessons about making choices.

I don't think there needs to be good intentions to have fun by gambling. We gamble, and yes we gamble and don't need to think about many things. And if we want to have fun by gambling, that's what we do using the money we can afford. And I don't need a reason to gamble because I gamble when I want to gamble. And when I don't want to gamble, I don't gamble. It's that easy. There is no need to think too complicatedly when you want to gamble because it will confuse you about what you want to get from gambling.

I remember there was a thread where there was a game playing site that didn't use money but they could get money if they managed to win. So it's good for you to try it. Here is the thread: Socialtournaments-A way to stop gambling addiction

Point of correction, no free money from gambling. Gamblers use money to gamble and that makes it not free as they also sacrifice their time for it. But gambling should ntit be taken as a way of making money.

Just know that people are different. Like me I am gambling for fun. If you do not spend more than your gambling budget and which is not more than 5% of your weekly income, is that not fun enough?

Agreed, but the money makes it different from other games, it makes it fun. If I am using just $0.5 for every bet, is that not fun enough? Although there are times I use martingale but still not beyond my gambling budget.

For addiction and people that gamble in a way they can not control their emotion, that is not fun. Using high amount of money to gamble caused that.

Why do they have to include money in playing the game instead of buying a drink on some good meal and watch football match with friends without betting on it, that is how to have fun without trying to win over some body money. People will not go to casino if it is free of money games. They will stay in their house to watch the games or play games with play station. It is about the money reward if you win from the game and not for fun like some people say and the people saying for fun are not gamblers because gamblers know they never gamble for fun. Fun is when you play with friends, relax yourself, eat good meal.

I don't think you can call it "free money" when there is a risk of you losing the initial capital you started with . Otherwise proceed with caution!!

Agreed, there is no fun in losing money but games like poker do offer that kind of fun especially if played in real life

 Plain simple!!! The motive of gambling has always been to make money💰 anybody not speaking in these lines would be lying.

Yea some people could be hiding behind the curtain but there still gamblers that gamble mainly for fun while the money aspect is secondary to them.

Talking about the spirit of good will I'll say it's same as going to the fun fair park if you wanna get a horse ride to catch fun you'll have to pay for it. Paying for a horse ride doesn't make you gain profit but to get fun out of it. Same with gambling for those that are gambling for fun, to them the money aspect of getting a win is just a bonus if it comes.

For those gambling mainly for fun like I earlier said definitely they will continue in their gambling even without the money. Only those that weren't playing because of fun that will have to quit and search for other means to make money.

A greater number gamble for the money but don't generalize it.

No single person is gambling just for the fun, it is always for the money. Those who have this view are just trying to generate some good feelings that will water down the pain of losing. It is a psychological thing and I understand them perfectly well. Those who want to catch fun play computer games and not gamble.

The real fun of gamble comes from winning good amount of money and nothing else. Like you said before, there is no fun in giving your money away.

When money is removed from gambling, many people will see it as a waste of time. In my locality,  gambling have created many jobs and have remained a source of hope for many people who are not doing well financially. Even though I don't support gambling without a steady source of income, at least it provide hope for some thereby reducing crime.

Money is the important reason why everyone gambles and if I am not wrong that is what the actual meaning of gambling is.

But what everyone here says or at least pretend to be, it should not be the sole reason for gambling because we know the odds are against us so most likely the house will beat us but still we may win and that is what we call a luck factor.

No one is going to gamble if there is no benefits but it doesn't mean people will stop spending their money cause most of our earnings are going somewhere which doesn't bring anything to us at all so at least gambling gives us a chance to win some money.

Take it or leave it, some part of me still want to make free money from gambling, even when I don't gamble every day, and while I am a very cautious gambler.

Some people are trying to hide behind the cotton, stating that they are gambling for the fun of it, I will like to ask them this question if I can get them to answer.

Is there any spirit of good will when you intentionally give your money away in order to just have a good time gambling?

Because taking money away from gambling simply makes the game not worth playing.

Will you still participate if money is not involved? Many people will easily quit if all casinos are to be turned into no-money games, isn't it?

Money is still the real reasons why we gamble, been addicted or not, mutual greed or not, all gambling is done to make more money or get some form of reward in the end.
