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 feel different when I gamble, because sometimes I gamble because I get tricked by other winners here in crypto gambling, there are also times when I gamble because I feel lucky on the day I gamble, but the result is the opposite of what I thought.

I don't know if it's also sometimes because I can't help it, it's like my routine is looking for it, but I only spend a small amount on gambling when I lose, I really can't stop.

Most gamblers do gambling to make money, nothing else. Gambling for fun does exist but the number of this kind of gambler is low. I wont be a hypocrite, I do gamble to make some more money by risking my own money. However I also enjoy my gambling activity, means that I have 2 reasons, first is for money and second one is for fun/entertainment.

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.

I guess that is one of the major mistakes people do around gambling. To gamble as a way of getting additional money. I say that is wrong, as you should not rely on gambling to make money. Making money simply by gambling is not feasible as you will innevitabelly make some mistakes and lose much of your money. Although there are several techniques to stay on the profit, this is actually not a sure thing. So, if you are in need of money, just stay away from gambling.

Gambling is sometimes a happy place and sometimes a sad place I don't gamble much but I like to spend some time there in my free time I started with the first touch after being encouraged by a friend of mine . But I can't quit gambling for one reason because it accompanies me in some bad times when I'm bored for some reason or spend free time. Gambling helps me keep my mind fresh. This is my gambling success I never gamble to earn money but I spend money there. Although it's just a waste of money but it's not a big problem for me as it keeps my mind fresh. Because he is truly happy when his mind is good

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.

It's just a way to have some fun and spend some extra $$$. Definitely not an addiction. I guess more people consider gambling as a chance to get rich? Such approach can get you into some serious trouble. That's like going all in on a shitcoin haha Grin

I don't think I have any gambling addiction. I can still control my gambling expenses and everything, so it's just an everyday thing. The motivation for me is that I could earn something I could bet on a small amount. So I would risk a little, which I can afford.

That's good that you can follow the rules and stay in line, OP. I think the motivation for everyone is money, which you could lose time on if you have it, but it's unproductive.

My biggest motives are escapism and having fun. I don't gamble to make big money. This is simply delusional.
I don't have an addiction to gambling. I could stay away from gambling games for months, without any problems. I'm glad that you can control your addiction. Maybe you could share some tips and tricks, in order to help some gambling addicts, who are reading the forum.

To be honest, although I am not addicted to gambling, but sometimes I allow myself to play several times, so to speak, just to once again confirm for myself that I really am not a successful gambling player.

Is there such a thing as a "successful gambling player"? Grin

Successful gamblers would be the worst nightmare of all casinos. Grin

All casinos want "unsuccessful" gamblers. Grin

Professional poker players(the ones, who are actually good at poker) are more like sports players, rather than actual gamblers.

I gamble during my free time at work. It's my way to entertain myself when i'm bored because I find it exciting and enjoyable especially if I win. But that doesn't mean i'm after winning (though it's really a good thing to win) since it can make us addicted and it's a problem if you can't control yourself. That's why i'm only using an extra money so even I lose it's not hard to accept it.

Play gambling only to double the money. I think gamblers will be happy if they get profits when they win.
If only for the purpose of fun we can play with fake money in several gambling games.

There's no one in this world that doesn't happy if they can make money in short time and instant, so everyone will happy if they get money. If the all gamblers only happy when they double their money, I can say 95% gamblers will be mad and sad. But upon reading all of users replying in this thread, they're happy to gamble even though they're not making money through gamble.

Using fake money to gamble isn't gambling since you're not take any risk.

If your sole purpose for gambling is to make profits, then soon it will become an addiction and cause you serious health problem especially when you lose money. But on the other hand, drive for gambling should be entertainment and fun, the way, you get to enjoy yourself even when you are losing.

Personally, I am not a gamble addict, and I only seldom gamble by the way, but I am sure if I want to gamble, my drive will definitely be entertainment, and nothing more.

I se no problem to extend our gambling playing as long as we have enough funds to lose and risk right? the only problem that occurs in gambling activity when we are continues trying to play when the funds aren't for risking meaning those are the funds we need for living and not to gamble.
but in your stand? i can relate mate because this is justification that gambling is truly for losing and not to win at all.

Money and prizes are the real reason I gamble, because if I win big, I won't be poor anymore. Most of the poor people really want this; we are buying lottery tickets to try our luck. Or we do go to the casino to see if we could win, and if so, we could buy foods or items that we couldn't buy with our salaries. We don't care about the entertainment value. I understand that gambling is primarily for entertainment rather than profit, but when you see the price, you will be compelled to gamble.

I don't request loans~

I think this should be in Gambling Discussion instead?

To answer, enjoyment. It's just like how games, sports, and hobbies are to me, they're purely for enjoyment. You may argue that since money is involved then things are kind of different, but as someone who spends money on merchandise, figures, and Gundam builds, I don't think they're any different. I still spend money on all of them. Gambling may have that factor of enjoyment if you win big, but it's a minor thing after winning, I mostly value the thrill and experience I get.

What drives me to gamble? mostly boredom mate and ofcourse stress from Job in which sometimes with my co workers we gamble either in casino houses or just going to each others house and bet against each others.
but addiction? No I don't have this as much as i can understand what addiction means.

I'm looking for entertainment with a bit of excitement. It's a way to pass the time and occasionally walk away with a little extra money, although in return you will often walk away with no money, but if you go to other types of entertainment, like going to the cinema or going out for dinner, you always spend money on the experience without the possibility of walking away with more money than you came in with.

You admit that you are addicted to gambling, do you think having that self awareness could help you out to avoid playing? Or it's more of a hobby? I am not addicted to gambling but rather use gambling to spend time if I have spare money, I actually do like watching live Esports game like CSGO and for me, watching it is just a waste of time so it's better to place bet while watching as I think that is more productive than watching the game alone.

Eloncoin.org - Mars, here we come!

There are certain games that attracts me more when playing , i am not really visiting casinos(maybe once a Year ) but I mostly played in local gambling places that available in some city in which we are visiting , there is this Color Game and Ball game that I love betting and if this is available? i am really spending high funds than usual.
but the thing here is that why need to lose more when you can handle it with care? meaning less the amount I am bringing so I will only lose small amount.
