Topic: What are the motives that drive you to gamble? (Read 2813 times)
Winning ba bet motivates steady gambling whereas the mind set of creating a leisure time to have fun and make some money is what drives people to being a gambler at the first instance, everyone gambling today has this urge that has triggered there decision to be a gambler, some even just make a first attempt and since then turn to be a gambler for life, I've not seen someone been forced to gamble, the only barrier to gambling is when you're indisposed to gamble when you have no money or when you got ill in a bad condition.
As far as i know gambling has been existing right from the creation of the man, no one can or may either eliminate gambling from the history of man. In fact Man himself is a gambler.
what you say is a real fact. Gambling has been around for a very long time. every person in life is very close to gambling. not only in the online world but now in the real world everyone is gambling a lot. we will never know how to get rid of it.
everyone has a different experience of how they can become a gambler. some came from friends, some were based on their curiosity about gambling. whoever has entered, it is quite difficult for us to get out of gambling. although some might work.
I m not even talking about leaving or quitting gambling, that remains that gambling has been there since from the origin of Man.
This article could also help you a bit. When there where no money, no exchange, people were using trade by barter which was other means and ways of gambling.
So it can't be eliminated or stop, people gambles in so many ways.
If you see gambling as a means of making money you will keep losing because you will keep going back to try your luck, I like gambling too but I play with less money and enjoy the game, I never have the mind of playing to win but I play to only have some fun so my betting skills is always on the minimum amount.
It is indeed , if you look for winning then surely you'll keep chasing losses after you lose so your idea is correct better to play using less money meaning there must be allocated funds in every gambling session with this you'll lose lesser than what most gambler does.though I think it is not literal word not minding playing to win because all of us does but we are accepting the fact that we mostly lose on those.
It is true, when I started betting and casinos I really like how lively it is, also because it is a different way to spend time, and my motivation was to increase my money, but I tried it many times and it was not 10 success Sometimes I tried to win only once, but it was very little because I already had little money. I didn't like the experience I had at first, but then I realized that in games of chance you have to be smart and we can't put our money for complete with the intention of multiplying it, if I see that there are many who enter a casino and win at once, but it is because they bet a lot of money at first and when they win they no longer play.
I do not know about you guys, but I gamble because I like it and because it is a hobby as well as an addiction. I'm good with myself, as I already admitted to having an addiction but tried to find and apply techniques to avoid getting off track and spending all of my money on gambling. It's quite easy for me to control my gambling anxiety as I already follow strict rules that help me stay on the line.
What about you guys? Do you have any addiction to gambling? What drives you to gamble? Is it the long shot of having a big profit coming in or is gambling simply a way of spending time for you?

I guess the primary motivator that drives me to gamble is the hope of winning the prize money at the end. In addition to this, the adrenaline and fear that I might win/lose my money at the end is also one of those feelings that I want to feel.
You could say, at least, that I am somehow addicted to this feeling but without the prize money at the end, I doubt that I would long for this feeling. Gambling has always been part of my hobby due to its simplicity, convenience, and accessibility as a whole. Though I do think that a factor on why I gamble frequently is due to my father as he would always invite me to watch him gamble.
Generally I am not that kind of hardcore or addicted on gambling. But it's not that I don't gamble at all, I occasionally gamble on various tournaments, leagues, and games of favorite teams etc.
I actually prefer gambling on sports As such, to answer your question, I have to say that different types of sports games or tournaments attract me to gamble.

Gambling for fun is cool, I do it often, but it might not be proper when totally condemning it for money making. It's about the preparedness of the gamblers and the aspect of gambling he/she channels their effort towards. I know some people that gamble for a living, especially in the aspect of sportsbooks. In the morning you would think they are going to a serious office when they dress corporately, but they would be at a gambling house and close there at night.These people are living fine on this, so it depends on the angle you view it, all are important.

I think your statement is still not quite right, because there are still many gamblers who really rely on gambling as a place where they can make a profit.But not all gamblers can do it, only those who have more money and intelligence in gambling.
I myself have met poker gamblers several times who are indeed experts in the game of poker, even in almost every game he wins and the percentage loses only slightly.
If you gamble or bet just as a means of fun I salute you for still being able to limit the amount you bet and not get really crazy about gambling.
If you have met such people who wins most of the times then they must either be really skilled or really lucky.
Most of the times people only lose money in gambling when they are playing against the house.
Talking about people gambling for fun then its the thril to win that drives them to gamble.
Playing with smaller amount decreases the amount of loss while giving similar thrill of gambling.

We have to understand this kind of decision whereby a gambler solely depends his living from earnings from gambling, such gamblers aren't new in gambling, they understand very well every possible mean they can source out money from with gambling, here they don't have to gambles even at all times, they may be employed under a gambling company to work for them and got paid, they may have one or two services or predictions they aid in other to make money, while some even went ahead advertising for them to get paid, as long as you make some earnings through gambling for a living isn't a bad decision provided you know all possible means to make a living from your decision.
I have also said before that not everyone can do their best. If you say that they are old people in gambling then I will justify it because it takes a long time to be able to learn and really be an expert in a gambling game.
However, if they are employed by the casino to get paid, it seems not. If we understand logically, they are experts in the field of gambling games and can finish each game with a win. They automatically prefer to play and bet privately because they can get a large amount of profit. which is greater than the payment given by the casino.

Whatever resources it is as long as you are making money then so be it, I see your point that there are gamblers who can make money with gambling those are people who are not new to this business, they are doing it for money and they really good in finding the right way to earn and enjoy while involve with any kind of gambling.
Though whatever may be the reason or whatever drives them to gamble, it is a personal decision which also brings them a big
risk when it comes to addictions.

but they are very different from ordinary gamblers, and by the way they gamble, they can control the game, not the game controlling them. And also they will stop when they are in a winning position, not keep playing because they know it's a trap that will make them lose.

I even can`t understand how is it - to be addicted. It is the same as to watch football match of your favorite team. You can cry, you can be impressed or disappointed but tomorrow you go to the work and don`t think that you have to visit next match anyway. I just relax and pay for it. But not all money i have - just as i plan.
I read somewhere that gambling addiction is when someone feels like they cannot stop themselves from gambling, even when they know it is causing problems for themselves and those around them. It is a type of mental health issue where a person has trouble controlling their impulses. I think that people who have this addiction may feel a rush of pleasure when they gamble, and they may continue to gamble despite the negative consequences it is having on their lives. They might also feel anxious or depressed when they aren't gambling, and they might go to great lengths to get money for gambling. When they feel better while they are gambling, they may continue to do it even though their lives are falling apart because of it.

this combination is what we must have here because at least if we lose? we know how to accept as the fun is worth as payment .
though sometimes it is frustrating but with enjoyment ? i think we will have both reaction , if we win? then we can take all the happiness and the money .
Play with good motive , not just to earn .
And if they can't accept losing, they shouldn't approach gambling and look for other things that can give pleasure. This will help them not to suffer defeat which ends in losing some money, as many of us have. But if they can accept that defeat, they can return to gambling whenever they want and of course, they must really be able to avoid big losses. The motive for playing gambling should only be to have fun and not to earn money because getting money from gambling is not easy and only a few people can.though sometimes it is frustrating but with enjoyment ? i think we will have both reaction , if we win? then we can take all the happiness and the money .
Play with good motive , not just to earn .
the place is for those who wanted to seek for total happiness and winning is just a bonus , this is what gambling is all about , once in a million chances to become rich but there is million ways to enjoy and be happy.
Have seen someone who one his first day of trying out gambling, won over $3000 with a wager of just about $60, $3000 is a lot of money in my country's local currency, worth over 1.5 million, this guy have never seen or touched that type of money before, so to win such an amount of money on his first day of gambling, it got into his head, he thought that, that was how the winnings would continue, he quit his job, moved into a bigger apartment, upgraded his lifestyle and the focus only on gambling, in about six months down the line, the whole money was gone, and winnings were not forth coming as it should to keep up with present lifestyle, he later left my area with no body knowing he's whereabout till date .

Gambling is now a way to earn money and most people are beginning to take betting as a means of income, those with good skills in odds calculation and accumulation are constantly winning and making profits from their activities
This is not true and I humbly urge you to stop spreading such misconceptions. No one should look at gambling as a reliable source of income even if some people make a lot of money from it. If they did it's because they were lucky nothing more. Being skilled may give you a small advantage but won't let you win all the time.A minor or a new gambler may get mislead by your statement and lose his money by gambling more than he can afford to lose.
I agree, gambling should not be looked as a reliable source of income but the thing is some people looked at it that way. We cannot deny the fact that people in desperation to have a source of income is now turning to gamble as means to earn money from winnings. Some are successful but the majority lose money instead. Aside from that gambling industries like casino and sportsbooks earn from hosting gambling. So we cannot deny the fact that gambling is indeed one way to earn money from casinos and from bookmakers' point of view at least.
It shouldn't really be looked and treated as reliable source of income because clearly, it isn't. While you can earn from gambling, it isn't a sustainable income generator. You could be lucky at some other days, but it isn't the case everyday. There will really be times that you will experience losses, and it's totally normal. This is because of course, gambling is risking, there's always a specific percentage of winning and losing. It's just a matter of using the right skills, knowledge, and having the odds side on you all at the same time.
People look at gambling as an easy way to generate money, but it isn't especially if you are still a newbie. You have a lot to learn - the do's and don'ts. Having the right perception also helps in someone's gambling journey. Correcting the myths and the "people told me that" mindset after verification and clarification based on facts will play a significant role in someone's drive to gamble. It is one way to have additional source of income, but is is risky since it is not stable and your earnings would vary depending on the season, your skillset, and luck overall.
Thank you mate and yes , I am allocating small amount to gamble at least just a peanut from my daily earning meaning it won't even hurt my if lose everything from my gambling budget.
The gambling is for fun and if we are lucky we can get profits out of our bet but we should always be in our limits and you are doing exactly the same like putting aside just normal amount which you can afford to loose while gambling.We should always have our budget and enjoy in our overlooking the big bets in gambling and reliving the stress while we gamble.gambling is risky and this must not be our way of living.
that's it , if you are not ready to accept the fact that gambling is only a place to enjoy and not to truly earn money then you should not gamble at all.
the place is for those who wanted to seek for total happiness and winning is just a bonus , this is what gambling is all about , once in a million chances to become rich but there is million ways to enjoy and be happy.

your logic is correct. but those who have become addicted to gambling, find it difficult to change their minds to just have fun gambling. what they seek is the ambition of victory. although most people will find out that they come to the casino and gamble just for fun and burn their money.
not everyone always loses at gambling, that's what makes some people think gambling is a decent place to quickly double our money. It doesn't matter how many times you lose, the important thing is that you have tasted victory. and it gives an addictive effect.
