Mostly for fun purpose only. I have tried to be serious player on the gambling sites where mystarted very new in the beginning I thought I am going to hit bigger goals, make myself fortune
and keep growing it to set myself free from the financial issues. However, soon I understood that
it's not easy job at all. The more harder you try to win the more it takes from your side. From Then onwards I gamble very Casual If there are any promotions then I will take the opportunity to invest on that promo but still play casually. Somehow it gives me more winning and fun. I have reduced my time on gambling a lot but that is also for fun

That is one the main aim of gambling. Just like me, I have tried my best to be but all in vain. Probably I not so much interested in gambling because anytime I tried my best to play a gamble, I have not come home a win so that also contributed to my uninteresting. But to play different games on laptop and phone is my best way to while time. I have not enter slot game room or hall to play slot games but sport is the ones I normally play.

In addition, my main reason of playing bet is for fun though it pains whenever losses.

In the past I played gambling just for fun until now I still do it because to fill my free time, usually I play casinos such as dice and crash games just to fill the time waiting for football matches because now I prefer to bet on ball sports even though the profit is not as big as playing in the casino but I bet by playing consistently to win big even though it takes a long time and not looking for profits in a short time, gambling must be rhythmic that's all Wink

My purpose in gambling is also to feel entertained. I was once had a motive of winning and gaining lots of profit through it but when I had big losses, I realized that it would be better to see it as entertainment peace than a source of income. I was able to learn and apply simple strategies in time and was able to try lots of games which made my gambling journey more exciting.

yes sometimes people misinterpret what is meant to have fun maybe they think I am wasting money and having fun, that's not the point of having fun what is meant
having fun in gambling is a feeling that diverts our focus so that we are not too serious and play because we are happy so that even when we lose we don't feel disappointed, because we have started by playing for fun so that method is also effective in making us able to control ourselves in gamble

Almost every gambler is not taking the advantage for gambling with fun for granted because it's what give the joy they always needed to make life with fun, even to an extent, some gamblers don't mind the promotional bonus weather it's been given or not as long as gambling itself is all about creative thinking of possibilities and an act of taking risk, the only thing I see as a bit challenging is when gamblers don't have enough money to gamble and they are desiring for a particular bet they are very sure of, also in other words, one can also gambles with the smallest or little amount he has with him because it does not require a big amount to stake with before you can enjoy gambling.

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.

FYI, you can't realize what is actually happens when you're addicted to something until you're completely drowned in it, so don't take it too easy and make sure the addiction is not making you any loss and if you feel in that way just avoid it at any cost and let's see can you live without doing it then we can say you are on the top of your addiction.

I'm not going to wonder why gambling brings a lot of people to gamble because like you, they also think about hitting the jackpot and making themselves rich overnight if they got lucky. Like in the lottery, many people got crazy about it but unfortunately, only a few lucky people got to win the jackpot, yet most of them just easily lose their money in their hands.

But I think we need to change that idea and yes, consider this as a pleasure, not a source of income. Maybe in this way, this could help to stop addiction.

We know that most gamblers rely on luck to win big money. Money is the main motive of all gamblers.

Agreed! Just like everyone out there, if I said I gamble for fun I would be lying, we all gamble with a motive to come out profitable and not to have fun losing money Roll Eyes

the fun only comes when you winning.. that's for a fact!

That's really our motives when it comes to gambling, when we know we've won, ofcourse we have to put it in our own wallet to be safe.😁

while others just want to have fun and relieve stress, but sometimes it causes more problems, especially if you run out of money just because of gambling.

This has to be a special one, gambling to relieve stress Huh

I don't agree, I think if that would be my motive I would be more stressed about it because gambling has the aspect of losing and if I lost money that could just add more stress on me because we all want to win and no one enjoys losing!

You are really more stressed if the money you used is the money that is already reserved for your expenses. It's better that we only gamble when we have an extra money so that if we lose, it won't hurt you too much 😁, it's not like you gamble all your wealth then after losing you're already too stressed.

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?

For me, it is just something to pass a little time but also looking for opportune mispricing by sports betting sites and often taking advantage of free bets. I could easily ignore gambling forever but it does provide a small income with a bit of patience. I never found any interest in casino game gambling which has no skill element and is engineered to sap all your money given enough time. There drive is I can accrue a few hundred per year which can be spent on other more productive things.

for me gambling is only for entertainment as well as testing my luck Grin

So far I only gamble on football and I also don't place high bets (maybe only $10) because for me gambling is just entertainment not to get money. for me it is better to use money for future investment than for gambling, for that reason why I only gamble small value and not get addicted to gambling.

It's great if you could do it now because that's a way we can do to prevent using more money in gambling. Placing sports bets is a form of entertainment usually done by many people, especially if there is a certain event like the World Cup yesterday. But usually, people forget that their goal is to test their luck and I hope you won't either.

And indeed, it is better to use the money to invest in crypto and prepare for our future than just use the money to gamble. Our chances of getting more profit can be greater if we invest in crypto, especially if we choose to invest in bitcoin.

I think friends can motivate us to play gambling, but we still have to be able to take care of ourselves as long as we play gambling and are responsible for our money. We cannot allow ourselves to have fun with friends while we are almost out of money at the gambling table and we should be the ones who have to remind our friends not to suffer too many losses.

You can really be lucky to have a wife who motivates you to gamble because not many people with wives will do the same to their husbands. Most wives will be angry and sad to see their husbands go gambling or use their own money to play gambling.

I feel like it is different situations in that regard, like if you are talking about gambling against your friends, that is rarely a high amount because they would be scared of losing too much money as well. I have played poker with my friends for years now and we never go overboard, and that is usually the way we do things together, which means I would be losing very little if I lose, since others do not want to increase the stakes fearing they might lose too.

However, if I am gambling against a computer, like a dice game here, then my friends wouldn't really care, not that they would want me to gamble a lot, if possible not gamble at all, but they won't care enough to do anything.

I like this motive, but sometimes you can make your own luck by having the skill to gamble.. Which means skill will overpower luck for certain games.

Certain games like what? Sports? Yes you can affect your luck if you study the teams, players but in the end luck is still going to be the major factor to determine the outcome. Sometimes I wonder, all those people trying to beat the casino and make a living out of gambling, what if they were spending their BPU (brain processing unit) power on the more important matters like learning to code... While they are trying to make easy money from gambling, they learn so much stuff which they don't really need and still can't make money after all those efforts. Kind of sad. Sad

But what I do understand by gambling for fun is that, you gamble with hopes of making some profit, but if the profit doesnt come, it's not an issue, on like gambling for profit, and when it doesn't come, the gambler breaks down in regret.

That's the real meaning of gambling for fun, it is when we can enjoy the game and we can accept loses at the same time.
It is bullshit if there is someone who gamble 100% for fun only without thinking about making profit.
Gambling is designed for people to risk their money for taking the chance to make profit but it is also designed as entertainment tool.

There is string of hope always there that with each bet we can win some amount but at the same time we should have in mind that we can lost the bet also.There are two outcomes and for loss we should be prepared and keeping up the fun in gambling.We bet for profits and all have that in mind to make more money but it's game of luck as we know.

Others gamble so they can share with others if they get lucky, while others just want to have fun and relieve stress, but sometimes it causes more problems, especially if you run out of money just because of gambling.

For me, I gamble to add something to my savings using my extra money, we know that the longer we play, the more we will lose. So if we win, we can go out to be safe, but if we lose, it doesn't hurt too much.😁

It is better that way.
Actually, In my personal opinion it is good you stick mostly to sport betting if you plan not to wager much money. If you moved to dices for example, where the outcome of your play comes immediately, you could find yourself escalating your wager quickly from 10$ to 100$, without you even noticing, opening the chances to higher losses.

It is just a roll, after roll, after roll, and so on.
Continue being responsible with your money. Wink

There are several motives that drive me to gamble. Being bored is one of it, playing in gambling to eat my idle time without actually noticing as time pass by. Another one is to check my luck if I can be lucky on my session and win extra money. There is no need to deny that most of us hope to win during our gambling activity and it add more fun to the entertainment walking out after our gambling session with extra fund in our pocket.

Sometimes I do have that urge to gamble just to pass some time or if I bored, but still though I will control it and doesn't want to get out of hand as it could lead to losses on my end. Just 2 days ago, I was bored, can't sleep and so I started to play some games like roulette and slots and lost some money. But it was just a small amount that I didn't notice the time because I was enjoying it.

I guess that's the key there, enjoy and have fund but at the same time you have total control of yourself. Because if you don't, then I will say that you might be leaning towards on the addiction side already and that won't be good for you or us in the long run. Be in control of yourself and your emotions.

I have also been testing what is the best way to play in a casino, and I have determined that it is when I have nothing to do and I have free time, when I play and I do not concentrate except on the game I feel that I do better, I don't know if it's motivation to do things without pressure and without anything that has to torment me, but if I want to play 1 hour and I want to play more, then I start to lose very often, and there are several times that I have lost by giving up everything and sticking to my rules that in the end I end up with stress and I don't concentrate on what I do, I believe that to play you have to concentrate a lot to win and also to take advantage and have fun.

When you are really that on boredom then you would really be thinking on something that you do really get used to, if you are in fan of gambling then this would be your primary option or choice
for you to make but there are some whether they would be playing some physical games or would really be just simply sitting in front of your computer and playing up some games.
If you do know that you do have that money to spend then it would really be entirely be depending on you, as long you do know on to handle yourself
then there's no one could stop you on what you should gonna do.

Gambling is just something fun that my two friends (Daouda & Koffi) make me do each time I am around them. For me alone, I am not too into sports, so when it comes to gambling, I even find it difficult to note some terms, let alone knowing how they work.

My girlfriend always says that she will keep malice with me if she finds out any day I gamble, so even when I am out to have fun with my two guys, I don't let her know I am out with them. But anytime I see myself gambling, which is only when I am around them, they help me out and it's always fun, we lose and we win.

This is what they say that our friends can influence us on what they are doing. So, let's make sure to choose the right set of friends if you don't want your life to be miserable. Like you, I am also not into sports and I never bothered learning it. Besides, learning it can only make me addicted on it and that means another expense, so I am fine with casino games.

You should also enjoy what you love and don't let others dictate you. I see that you also have a non-supportive girlfriend when it comes to your hobby but you can choose now if which one is you truly love. Was it gambling or her? And you should only pick one before it gives you a problem later on.

The problem now is picking in between either your friends or your girlfriend. Gambling supposedly for fun and entertainment, but once you get addicted, it will bring a lot of problems in the future, like what I mentioned. It's between your friends and your GF since they both have an influence on you.

If you will choose your GF, then quitting into gambling will be your next direction, while choosing your friends, only means that you will continue your gambling and will be going deeper.

Either side, it will affect you and you needed to pick the right direction to have a better life.
