The main point of gambling is for fun.
If someone gamble for money and become an addict, blame the gambler, not the gambling. No one force to gamble, if someone don't get the fun while and after gambling, they can stop including completely avoid it.
It just dumb someone continue to gamble in order to earn while the reality they're in loss.
Yes, definitely for fun and excitement, and getting profitable in gambling will fall as a bonus. But I think beginner gamblers have misinterpreted this. Instead, they are motivated to engage in gambling because they want to win big amount, which is only seldom to happen, because obviously gambling ends up with a lot of losses. However, if you gamble irresponsibly, that’s your problem anymore. The point of gambling is just to have fun, but not to get addicted with it.
Exactly, I agree with your opinion here that most gamblers, especially beginners, have misunderstood what winning in gambling means, and I have discussed this several times on several other pages that many gamblers misunderstand winning in gambling where they usually think that winning is something that can be used as income as we often hear from some gamblers who have entered and trapped in a cycle of addiction.
In the end, it is clear that this is the wrong mindset in responding to gambling and I am sure that someone who thinks that winning in gambling can be used as income is those who do not have a correct understanding of how gambling really is, they only see from one side only in terms of "chances of winning" but do not pay attention to other facts that the possibility of defeat will always be a part of gambling that can never be separated. In the end, from several cases that have occurred, instead of earning, they have suffered a lot of losses and all of this will be experienced when you are too excessive in treating gambling due to having the belief that gambling can be used as a place to earn. However, it is always recommended to make gambling an entertainment activity, because by having the intention only to seek entertainment, it is less likely for you to overdo it, and the point is that it is not recommended to put excessive expectations on winning and if you manage to win one of the wins then consider it a bonus for the game you have played.
