The only motive I understand and accept is the Win seeking , I wanted to gamble to win and if not then i will leave the table without looking back.
maybe try mine again in the next couple of days.

Most time i gamble for fun. Sometimes i need to take a rest and get positive emotions and gambling is a good choice for such purposes. I don`t spend much money and that`s why i can`t say that i have big wins or loses. But 2 times i doubled my deposit and it was really nice feeling.
I can relate in this mate and yes  I have loved using gambling as my stress reliever , there are so much problem facing from work and business and when I gamble i maintain my positive vibes and so I attract luck as well.

but motivating me to be addicted is not on the list because I am more in enjoying than taking it seriously to win.

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?

For me gambling is fun because I only gamble with small amounts of money. I make no mistake in acknowledging the fact that I am not the best gambler nor am I a fortune teller or have some other way to predict the outcome of my gambling bets. Many people make this very same mistake and gamble large amounts of money and risk losing EVERYTHING.

I might never make giant winnings but at least I know I will not make giant losses. And honestly, I am completely ok with that. I have no problem with having fun and walking out, relaxed and without stress.

People should really be on this way on which they should be thinking that gambling is for fun and not something that they could really take it as their main source of income.It isnt really just something that they could

just deal with and make money on the easiest way as possible.If you would be molding up yourself on something believing that gambling could make you rich then this is a motive which would really make you
that desperate or would be ending up for you to be impulsive with your actions and dealings because of that kind of thing to have in mind.

Gamble for fun and don't chase nor mind on being rich with gambling then you would really be just fine.
You get the point there, gambling should basically be for fun but if one gets lucky sometimes to win big in gambling, then the winning should be taken as a bonus for effort and not a motivation to bet huge expecting to keep winning.
In gambling, not every day is a lucky day, but every day is a fun day if you take gambling as just for fun.
If the money comes fine but one does not need to set their mind on the money or try to recover the one that has been lost to avoid addiction, focusing on fun is the best way to do that and by so doing one will have a fun filled session without any anxiety.

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?

My motivation with gambling is definitely to make money, so it just ends up with fairly small bets and taking advantage of some rather generous offers at different book makers that allow you to cover both sides of a bet and walk away with a profit. Nothing major but a guaranteed $10-20 per week that gets taken out and put into stocks instead, which you could consider equal gambling but sticking with the largest dividend paying companies at least returns a slow passive benefit over time. I could quite happily walk away at any time, but it only requires patience and not getting carried away with spending the freely accumulated money on silly side bets or taking a chance at the slots.

Most of the gamblers have this reason as to why they are gambling. It's pretty much common since gambling is viewed as one of the easy ways to generate money, or so they thought, because it's one of the easy ways to lose money too if you don't know what you are doing. If you are doing whether casino gambling or sports betting, you need to possess enough knowledge, skills, and luck with you. The combination of these aforementioned factors will make your chances of winning go higher. 

Gambling responsibly like what you do will keep you off the grid of addiction. For me, this is much better because you lessen the possibility of you being dependent in gambling and at the same time, you utilize the benefits it has such as profiting while having fun at home, supposedly you are playing online.
I'm not much of a sports bettor, but in the World Cup that happened, I made some bets on some games that I thought I was going to win, and I didn't do it on those that were certain, but there were 2 that I did win, and I played to prove Good luck because I wanted to have extra money to buy some things that I needed and it was easier to bet and hope to win than to put myself to work and get money quickly, and that was my solution, it may have been something My decision is strange, but what I could do is that I didn't win what I wanted, but I did win a little more and if you win, it's better, much better than losing.

No matter how much we claim that gambling is merely for fun or passing out time, there is one thing that is certain which is the consciousness of making profit and with that been Said, we all are in gambling to make money no matter what we claim our motive is.

You really have to work on yourself especially now that are already aware of your addiction and  I think you should fix a way to work on your frequent visiting of a casino rather than trying to give excuse that seems excusable to you.
Addiction is a process and from what you said, it seems you're actually battling and struggling with not using your entire money to gamble and that's addiction growing and you need to work on yourself.

Most times we often forget that not every predictions we make are always accurate and therefore got us discouraged whenever w e couldn't make it as expected in winning a particular match we bet on, this are disappointments that has nothing to cause a distortion to our interest in gambling because we are also lied with various opportunities to win whenever we gamble, but because of the passion we've got in doing this and doing it over and again repeatedly makes it our best choice to have fun whenever it comes to gambling regardless of the circumstances attached, gambling is by choice and we decide to do so because of our passion in it.
Well, I can tell you that for many gamblers out there, gambling is a business for them, not a choice, and those who fall into this category are the ones that see absolutely no fun in gambling, it is business and strictly business, they are itin it for the money/for the profit, nothing else.
I have many of such people in my area here in Nigeria, their professionalism is in gambling and amazing, they usually have a lot of followers who come to them for game predictions and all sort, makes me believe that there are indeed peeps that are wired for gambling, gambling is like their calling.

Great Your point is very similar to me I myself love sports and I watch different tournaments regularly so I bet on sports bats meanwhile I enjoy live games and on the other side enjoy some fun by betting. I have placed a lot of bets especially on the 2022 World Cup and have enjoyed the entire World Cup a lot by watching and betting. But I play casino sometimes but it doesn't work for me much
A whole lot of people bets on the 2022 WorldCup, though this world cup was not good enough for gamblers I heard some suffer big losses due to underdogs winning the matches against big teams. I don't know how much you have loses in Japan vs Germany match or Spain vs Japan match or even Argentina vs Saudi match. Argentina was 36 matches unbeaten before facing Saudi, no one dared to bet on Saudi to win the match.
I lost a bet on the first match between Argentina and Saudi Arabia.  Because in the match something really incredible happened which no one could have predicted and especially Argentine fans like me couldn't accept it. But it is normal to not always win in betting because a gambler can never win all his bets so sometimes one has to accept the loss with a smile.

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.

Unless you are a pro poker player so yeah, you can make a lot of money if you have achieved that level of pro and has been in the circuit placing in every tournament or even winning some. And then there are gamblers like rest of us who matured and just play to have some fun or just gamble money that they can afford to lose.

I know it's frustrating to lose, but if you are ready to accept defeat in gambling, I think we can all move on.

No need to always chase those winnings, if you are lucky then it will come and not force the situation upon yourself, otherwise you will really get addicted to it. So change your motive for enjoyment and you will be good.

I know people who placed stupid bets after losing for a while, they just bet out of rage. Take it as a match yourself while playing the chance is 50-50. So why get emotional after losing a bet or two? Just like real sports it is fun to play, and enjoy both winning and losing.

I play with the same motive but instead of only fun I go full on analysis before betting a decent amount on that particular game.

My urge to gamble is to win and add flavor to my entertainment which is sports. Don't get it wrong though, I love sports more so I can live with just watching the game and still enjoy it unlike just gambling in casino games filled with stress and short-term enjoyment.
I want games that last for hours and my bet getting near to a win, that's what keeps my blood pumping so high that entertainment becomes more exciting and me cheering like there's no tomorrow.
At the end of the day, I still want to win but it doesn't mean I cannot take a loss. It's part of being a gambler.

Sometimes we are not contented but we are looking for something to add on what we are currently doing. In your case you try to win money other than being entertained. For the most of us, I think our motive for gambling is only to earn a profit by default. It's fine if they can't add anything because to win a profit is already enough to make them happy as there are so many fun things to do with the money you win.

Betting in sports can indeed make our money last longer but what about in casino games? It's also possible if you will bet on certain games which aren't that instant. You can also minimize your bets. No matter what type of game it is, it can be stressful or fun depending on the player.

Most gamblers are addicted to it. Is only few ones that can control themselves. I was once a gambling addict. Then I wasn't enjoy gambling because I feel so sad when I lose.. It take time before I can control this. Now I take gambling as fun because I gamble with money I can avoid to lose.
Several people I met told me that gambling is the same as trading crypto which means they don't use that money that they can use for the necessities of life. so with that strategy, if you lose all your money, you can continue your life without any burden to think about what have you to eat tomorrow. I used to say gambling for fun several moments ago, but when I think about it again, it's like a bullshit quote, because Fun if we are winning, and stress when we are loose. So, to overcome it, use the money that you can't use for life definitely will not burden you.
Personally, my motive is to gamble basically for profits and to have fun at least. And that is really possible if you are gambling your spare money, and you are not chasing for bigger profits all the time, or you are not chasing your previous losses as you will only lose in the long run. Until now, I could say this is still working for me.

I was once a gambling addict before but now I’ve come to control myself and only gamble when there is extra money to gamble. Although I would be sarcastic if I won’t admit that I’m still gambling for money, but to gamble with limits is more profitable than gambling until you meet your own satisfaction. Now I’m gambling more for fun, but definitely it would be more fun and profitable if I’m also winning most of my bets.

Gambling with your spare and not to exceed with it is much more enjoyable compared to gambling with trying hard to satisfy your lust, though it is the winning amount that still influence you but if you can control and limit the amount of your allowable amount to risk, then addiction can be avoided or too much engagement will be lessened.

I also came from that situation where I always wanted to gamble thinking that after winning some amount I can do better in the next following try, realizing that I already losing a lot, then I pause for a while and now, I'm just playing using spare and nothing more.

My motivation with gambling is definitely to make money, so it just ends up with fairly small bets and taking advantage of some rather generous offers at different book makers that allow you to cover both sides of a bet and walk away with a profit. Nothing major but a guaranteed $10-20 per week that gets taken out and put into stocks instead, which you could consider equal gambling but sticking with the largest dividend paying companies at least returns a slow passive benefit over time. I could quite happily walk away at any time, but it only requires patience and not getting carried away with spending the freely accumulated money on silly side bets or taking a chance at the slots.
If you are a real gambler, you will always gamble for profits because that is the reality. And when you do it, fun follows. Even myself, although I am not that expert when it comes to gambling, but I’m glad I’m also making significant profits out from it. But I also follow the basics in gambling, gamble your spare money and never go to chase your losses. That way, I can still say that my gambling experience from the past up to the present is still within my control.
