It was a game I paid for with free time and money which I was prepared to lose at it. Don't make it as a moneymaker because it will cause a very great addiction and it will be very dangerous when you are immersed in it. I only play bets that can make deposits using crypto, especially LTC, BNB, BTC and ETH. Besides being simpler, transactions using crypto are easier and faster.
The reason I gamble is because I have extra time to relax and extra money to spend on hobbies. Using it for fun is of course no big deal. But my hobby is not gambling.

I am a person who is very fearful when it comes to betting, I bet little by little, I don't take risks at once, the only thing is that since I start betting I don't win much, but when I make bigger bets and last longer playing, the probability winning makes me sleepy and I don't win anything, what drives me now are two things, firstly, when I play I make big bets, big is to bet from 10 dollars onwards and that for me is enough, if I win I win like 20 or 30 more dollars and I leave it like that, because if I keep betting I lose everything, and the second thing is that I play fast without spending so much time because I think that things like that make me lose.
I simply believe that rolling dices is entertaining.

Spinning slots (and buying bonus rounds) is also entertaining, just a bit more (or a lot) expensive. Playing poker is interesting in more than one way, except the gambling part there are those emotions about outsmarting other players. Sports betting, at least for us who played some sports, comes like something natural thing, we simply enjoy watching some games and following our favorite teams.
I guess it's good when it's entertainment, when becomes more than that it's usually heading to some serious problems.
What motivates me to be in a casino is the good treatment, that when you have a problem it is attended to immediately and they give you a solution at once, it is the only thing, because the bonuses, the contests and everything that is of 3 things that They offer in the casino sometimes it can be very nice and it looks pretty but they can do things that do not turn out as they paint it, but quite the opposite, now I look for and read everything very well, everything that appears in the bonuses and promotions, because they always It happens to me that I win something and I can't withdraw the money because I have to meet conditions that I see as impossible for me, that demotivates me.
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 don't gamble that much but I do know that most times when I do, I gamble just because I want to entertain myself but I always do it when I'm looking for a way to earn some cash ( but in rare occasions though). The maximum I've ever gambled was ~$50, I know it's small but I do that so as not to get addicted to it and I believe that ones I become addicted to it that fun vibes will no longer be there.

50 dollars wasn't small for a small gambler like us but that is small for those who gamble with huge amounts. I don't even know if I reach that amount when playing. I think my max loss was only 30 dollars something. I just can't accept it whenever I lose amounts that I think big already. This is why I just gamble rarely so that my expense are only going to be small and then I will avoid to become addicted.

I find spinning slots more entertaining, though blackjack and poker give a different kind of fun(outwitting the opponent), I still prefer slots since there is more variety of winnings.

Gambling becomes a serious problem because the player isn't ready for the consequences since players only view it as entertainment. Meaning the player isn't ready for any other effect of gambling. Due to that, the player is caught unaware that gambling may bring addiction when the player thinks he is just having fun leaving himself vulnerable to the possibilities.

There are many factors that drives me to gamble, sometimes it's all about my gut feel that I'll win. 
.This has happened to me several times when I was still pretty new to gambling, I can remember the number of times I found numbers on the road or saw some numbers in my dream and assumed they were a sign, that if I play those numbers in the lottery, I would win, I visit the lottery shop and bet all my money on those numbers and at the end of the day, win nothing... Gambling has indeed taught me lots of lessons.. Lol
Right now, I've resort to gambling just for the fun of it, though many times, the urge to gamble with a mindset of making some profit still do come, but I've learned to control my feelings better now.
It's truly disappointing when you think that you're the luckiest man in the world and that has driven you to gamble for the day, you're bound to have that belief that you're on the right track.
But eventually, the fate isn't with you and it's not your day so, frustration will come out of it and you'll manage to look at how wishful you are to believe that it's your lucky day.
Well, it's fun and full of joy when you think about it but at the same time, you can just skip the part of thinking of your losses and just deal with smiling that at the end of the day, you've been stricken by the reality.
I gamble not because of victory or profit but because I am addicted to the entertainment that exists in gambling. every time I'm tired of working all day in the office I sometimes have a very long free time and I spend it to entertain myself in gambling.
even though I often lose at gambling compared to the wins I get, that won't make me stop gambling. because I always limit the money I can afford to lose in gambling and I always stick to my own rules.
so every time I gamble I try to play with small bets and at least it can last up to 2-3 hours that will really entertain me

Oh mate, i understand how high risk virtual games are and this have lead many gamblers bankruptcy, yes i can bet on football matches like on world cup matches and premiere league games.
But basically, the motive behind my gsmbling activities is just for fun and if I most belong to football matches, I will bet on my favourite club which am supporting most especially if I know and have a good underlying analysis of the teams involved.
For me, I mostly gamble on sportbetting, and live matches or virtual games to be precise, while taking advantage of the fluatuating constant change of odds since it is a live playing game, just for entertainment and fun, while giving it a chance looking forward to seeing of I could double some cash. Moreover, I always set aside a specific amount of money which I gamble with whenever I intend gambling, while staying conscious ensuring not gamble beyond what I could afford not to miss, as gambling is strictly a game of pure luck
The fact is almost everyone gamble for fun but along the line we can make good money from outcome having that fun, which is one majkr reason why most gamblers without self-control run into addiction.

I am not addicted to gambling. I play games casually every once in a while and that’s it. I gamble mostly to pass the time and see if I am lucky. I don’t really have that crazy idea of getting rich from gambling because it is a terrible thought which can make you lose everything you got.
Gamblers should be reasonable and have realistic expectations from the bets they make. Being greedy is the worst mistake you can make when you are gambling.
That is actually true. Most gamblers are just in it for the money and they do not have any relistic approach to what the risks they taking in relation to what they can potentially earn. And even worst, mos do not even have a proved technique and are just betting on a chase of profits that are off hand. Yes it is true, greed is the first mistake of a gambler.

Back when I was a child there were games for the Nintendo Game boy which had some mini games which were basically slots machines (the regulations were not as hard as they are nowadays), I spent hours at those imaginary slots, so it is not a surprise to me nowadays I find the real thing to be fun as well. I do not wager much money, since I can't afford to lose much.
It is something to distract myself casually when I am bored of the usual Steam games.

I think my max loss was only 30 dollars something. I just can't accept it whenever I lose amounts that I think big already. This is why I just gamble rarely so that my expense are only going to be small and then I will avoid to become addicted.
It all depends on my mood but mostly I do gamble because I want my time to get eaten by something that makes me fun, In short; it's for entertainment since I rarely do gamble that I have a strict target amount of profit to be earn on a single session. I'm not a high roller that's why I don't chase profit that much but winning is one part of being entertained so yeah I always try to win but I don't chase the profit. I know the fact that I'm an addict before and experienced different things with it and now that I have passed that stage of my life, I'm happy that I do gamble for the sake of entertainment.
I just gamble whenever I want to feel entertained. It was actually part of my daily routine but when I got busy with my job, I only do it whenever I have free time. I don't want to focus too much on gambling and aim for high profits because I know the risks that I could face in it. I don't want to fall for gambling addiction so I always put control and limitations so I won't have regrets in the end. Gambling is to be enjoyed and shouldn't be the reason for us to suffer when abused.
I have no drive to gamble, not in the literal sense where you really feel the need to do it, cant go to bed because you forgot to place a bet or something of this sort.
What I do from time to time is bet on sports. It started when I used to hang out with a group of friends in high school and we'd all watch a match or a fight together and share a bet. It made watching games more exciting. When I got more money and spent less time with my mates I begun to do it alone.
My main motives are feeling the same excitement I did in the good old days and maybe making some money. The definition of fun, right?

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 
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.

I really hope I am not addicted to gambling even though I visit a casino online almost every week. Gambling has been a big part of my life since I am 18, and the rise of online gambling only increased that. In terms of hours I spend gambling each month, I think that some people would label me as an addict. But I also know that I can stop gambling for two weeks without thinking about it. Just now I was in bed for a week with covid and didn't once think about gambling. To me it's important to have my life under control and have fixed limits on how much I can gamble. As long as I am in control I am not addicted. The main motivation for me in gambling is to have excited games I can play with the chance of making some money on the side. My biggest wish is to one day win a big jackpot.

There's a potential that if you keep playing gambling and seeing other people's achievements there's an instance that you would like to try gambling too and trying your luck again to play, but of course still on your mood and budget, base on my experience ive been bank in playing gambling especailly in the e-sports gambling because i saw already a good game between those two teams and see a potential wins but in playing slot games, or table-top i never tried again even i saw a good winning because not all the time in favor with me.
