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?

Personally, I do not have an addiction to gambling, as I treat it as an opportunity to earn additional income. Based on this approach, I control my involvement in the game. However, I know people who are really addicted and play until they lose all their money. Therefore, I chose my strategy and use it. Of course, in order to succeed in the casino you need to have a strategy, but there are also people who play just for fun. For example, one of my friends went to the opening of a casino and made bets there just to try for the first time how it works. He told me that his goal was not to win, but simply to experience for the first time what it was like to bet with real money.

though i am not a gambling addict, i do not also treat this as possible means of earning income. maybe because i only play if i have extra. if i win, i treat it as a bonus of my gambling experience. these days am not playing heavily as compared before. maybe, times are changing and so with my priorities. but definitely, if i play, i also want to win but there's no expectations anymore. as i only allot a certain amount, if i did spend that amount and still no winnings, i stop.

The influence of friends in gambling is also a strong motivating force behind many gamblers that exist today because they wouldn't have been so without the role of their friends who could have triggered them to starting from somewhere, the reality is that gamblers will always want to influence each other because of the passion they have for gambling and their eagerness in seeing their friends also gambling together with them, our gambling friends encourages us sometimes we feel like not gambling and from there we got the motivation and thier ideas and suggestions sometimes also help in gambling right and winning especially if they were more experienced than us.

I used to have an addiction on gambling. But a year ago, when the market crashed, the value of my assets became low. So I invested half of my assets in gambling and didn't make much. So I kept on going and it became an addiction. Then in order to make more, I blindly put whatever was left on my gambling account to gamble. I lost all and was left with only $25 in my account.
After realizing my mistake, I have controlled my self from gambling and haven't joined any from then. Maybe in the future, but for now I am out.

On a normal circumstances when I gamble, I really do not see it as a profit making goal alone. However, I see it as fun to do, meeting with people, making new friends, and also getting more experienced in gambling because there are always new things being learnt everyday and this gives me the satisfaction I derive when engaging in gambling activities. It is not about winning a raffle draw , spin or stake it is all about your mindset. Although not everybody reason as I do but that is my own perspective on me getting or gambling. It feels good to get that calm nerves when gambling

I have an addiction to gambling but I am not an addict. I often lose in gambling but still I like to gamble. The difference between me and an addicted gambler is that I can take a break from gambling whenever I want, but it is extremely difficult for an addicted gambler to do so. Gambling is really fun but it has to be done that way. Most gamblers have an incentive to use it as a special source of income, which is a big mistake. As a result, they have to lose their money in gambling with in short of time.

You are very near to become gambling addictive. The reason is that every gambler who is addict will never say that he is addicted to gambling.
Also i understand you take break from gambling when ever you want but believe me sooner or later you will forget to take the break as you gamble more often.

The motive for me and everyone who gamble is to make money but unfortunately most of us are not able to make this money.

I am not addicted to gambling, I only gamble whenever am stressed and I want to relax my self, also whenever am bored or alone, just to keep myself busy that's why I do gamble. I gamble with just little amount so that even if I lose the amount it won't really affect me, that's why even when am winning in gambling, I don't really win huge amount because I just gamble with little money and I don't really make my expectation very high.

Some people will be addicted to gambling but they won't still know they are addicted, they will think they just gamble for fun, but they can't stop gambling, some of them are just after money and whenever you tell them they are addicted, they will disagree with you.

when you will go to gamble for fun then you will also loss your money. so you must accept this risk and go for gamble. if you can afford that loss then you will able to enjoy gambling as fun. but if it hard you when you loss then you will not bale to enjoy gambling as fun. This will make you more angry and you will try to recover your losses thus slowly getting addicted to gambling and at some point you will be in big danger. So gambling should be done with caution

This is what some people do not want to accept because they gamble with more money and they think gambling is not good if losing money, but if very little amount is lost, gambling would be enjoyable. Using high amount of money will only lead to bad experience while gambling, while playing too much is also leading to losses. Assuming you collect $1000 weekly as an example for salary, will losing $10 to $20 affect? I do not think so. Anyone that is not expecting loss should not gamble at all. There are winning too, but loss chance is more.

Who went to gamble with huge amount it means he is a actual gambler and he went to gamble for make money . but who want fun he-she must gamble with less money like $10-$50. because no one want to loss his huge money only for fun.

Well said. Those that would want money from gambling would definitely be risking more money and are such that are desperate because they would be doing it as if their lives depends on it. But those that are catching their cruise and having fun with gambling like me will be careful and only use a ridiculously low amount of money for it.

Even the $50 limit is too high for me, my average is $15, but it might be regular if I am bored and lose it often. But I have never lost more than $30 a day gambling.

but gambling for fun actually loses almost as much money as the real gambler. because when gambling for fun someone will start gambling with money worth $ 10-$ 50 and that is for a day. so almost every day they make a deposit of about $ 10 to $ 50 and if you add up it is almost the same as real gamblers who use bigger money.
and in my opinion gambling for fun is relatively more relaxed because they gamble using money they can afford to lose.

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’m an occasional gambler and I just gamble every time I have extra money which I think making money drives me to gamble more, and some times just a way of spending my free time. I consider gambling as for fun only and not so serious about it, I’m not expecting that much as well about making profit I just go with the flow and consider my luck as my basis to avoid any greed and addiction.

Gambling may be fun at first but later it can turn into an addiction. This can often happen unconsciously which is not unusual. I became addicted once a time early in my gambling life. It was difficult for me to come back from that position. But i got success. Actually i gamble regularly but am not addicted. I tried to get various education about gambling. I have been able to change my gambling style with everything i have learned. It often becomes a bit of a problem for newcomers. Gambling can be profitable if managed by acquiring proper knowledge.

Gambling can be profitable if luck favours and managed in the right way. Being a gambling addict needs lot of learning to come out of it. Most of the time gambling addicts were the one who get into gambling without any basic and deposit on watching someone's win. When the same win isn't possible with them, they try for it and loss everything. This is where the addiction begins.

Gambling addiction begins with losing control over yourself to gamble, such as borrowing money just to spend it in casinos, or being unable to sleep because you want to gamble, and doing whatever it takes to just gamble. There are people who lose huge amount of money,don't want to play anymore, and tend to quit. There are also others who want to get back their losses by asking someone to borrow money. Addiction is not good, so let's be aware of ourselves and try to prevent this.

This is actually what makes gambling a funny activity. It's the sensations and feelings you get while you play whether you lose or win, happy or frustrated.. However, frustration should be temporary and don't last for long otherwise gambling won't be funny anymore and you may start making bad decisions like trying to chase losses.

Sometimes we might not have same instinct of gambling or joining gambling from my understanding, some people play gambling for the motive of getting happiness

this will raise another question, what makes gambler happy during their gambling activities?

Quote from: minime0105 on January 01, 2023, 06:06:49 PM

why some people play gamblling because of getting money,

This is my reason why gambling become fun, because it is fun when we win money eventhough we never admit that gambling stop being fun when we lost money.

Quote from: minime0105 on January 01, 2023, 06:06:49 PM

so many people have different perspective why they play gambling, myself why i play gambling it's because of earning money, with that alone someone can as well do not join gamblling, because you most have one thing that will make you to play gamblling.

Different as they seem but they still fall to one thing, they had fun because they won certain amount of money. Because they had tested their luck and it turned out that they are very lucky because their bankroll increase x times.

No matter how I think of it, the winnings makes the gambling fun, it isn't he game or anything else. Because as stated on the earlier reply and will repeat it again, why wager real money and why not play the demo if you think it is the game that makes gambling fun.

If you arent that careful nor really that mindful in towards your actions then you would really be finding yourself into a big trouble on which you would really be making yourself or finding that you are

gradually becoming addicted with gambling.Just play for fun and mind those money that you are using are already gone which means that you would really be playing out for fun and
not for money making because in reality on dealing with gambling then it all means about losing money in the end of the line.So dont expect something from it if you dont really like for yourself
to be that annoyed or frustrated.This is the reality of gambling but it isnt bad to engage on it as long you are aware with your actions.

Loneliness drives people towards gambling. A common man who is into gambling will surely think of gambling and makes his entry when he is lonely. I've personally experienced it and gambling with some reason ends in loss whereas gambling for fun used to bring winning from the event.

The best part of the gambling is to enjoy the moment, but most of the time this won't happen as people gamble to make money and not for fun or just as an excitement factor.
