Are you like me? Gambling with no sense of goal, direction?

I'm not ambitious about wanting something from gambling, because I think that gambling is not a path that can take me to my goal - it's just as simple as playing and getting entertainment from it without hoping that I can become a successful person from it. Because if you want to achieve something and hope for gambling which carries the risk that you could lose your money, then gambling is not an activity that you can do. It's better to have hope in your job or whatever you're doing now than in gambling - it's much more realistic and your risk of losing money is lower.

Some people actually play gambling for fun yes you are quite right and some people also play to gain little money it might not be something big but as long as they are gotten little stuff from gambling they feel like they are okay meanwhile set of people and gambling to make more money for their self together with the one they already have or the one they have already gotten from the gambling well to me I don't see any reason why someone could waste money in gambling just because of the person want to gamble for fun it doesn't make sense to me anyway but some people actually do that

Yes but I believe that the majority of gamblers who come are those who bring the intention and purpose of earning, which is one of the reasons because the object of winning in gambling is money which everyone always needs money in life, so this is what makes many gamblers misunderstand what and how gambling really is, and because of this misunderstanding they end up creating an approach that leads them to the possibility of addiction unconsciously.

And I think with the idea that I've said above then I would say that everyone doesn't like losing any amount of money, meaning that I pretty much agree with you on this that there is no other more plausible reason as to why they come and engage in gambling other than bringing the intention to “multiply” the money that they bring with them, but what they don't realize is that gambling can also lose them money in an instant.

Patience is key

Quote from: Fivestar4everMVP on June 04, 2024, 06:52:07 PM

It's a question I asked myself this evening while playing a Slot game on a telegram casino.
I asked myself this question, and was puzzled for a while because I was actually confused of what exactly to answer myself, I wasn't sure if money was what I wanted from gambling, or whether I was just playing to have fun, or whether I was gambling for both money and fun.

And honestly, I am still confused, because I've thought of money being what I wanted, then "what is my actual target?, what amount will be enough?" is the next question I asked myself, and I realized I didn't actually have any amount in mind, and this made me conclude that money wasnt really what I wanted, but it's not fun either, cus I cant have fun if I am not winning, like I would always say, " there is no fun in losing money".

So, I thought I should throw this question to the gambling community here, maybe I could draw some ideas from your ideas and contributions.

1. What exactly do you want from gambling? Say it, even if it's something you don't think is possible to achieve.
2. What steps have you take to see if you can achieve that which you want from gambling?

Or

Are you like me? Gambling with no sense of goal, direction?

Let's have a healthy discussion.

what do I really want from gambling? For me i gamble because I want all my lose to turn into something good for me, I do gamble for fun but I'm after the return that's the money why because I use money to gamble not free. So my purpose while I'm using my hard dem money to gamble it's to add up to my income, I can't just wake up one morning and start gambling for nothing in return my purpose is for me to win and get back my money. Same as some people do have their own mindset towards gambling, some people take it like their source of income meanwhile some people gambling for nothing. But I don't think someone can gamble not to get something in return everyone gambles for something when it comes to gambling fact.

Any game of chance has only two outcomes - winning and losing, so it is perfectly logical that any gambler seeks to win. But the desire to win can be quite different. Someone is ready to spend all their money to achieve their goal, and someone plays gambling for the sake of getting emotions and winning for him is a kind of reward for a successful game.

I think if someone spends almost all their money just to gamble to achieve the goals they want, I think it's really a shame. In this case, it's best if we want to channel our hobby of gambling, it's best to just have fun, don't expect to get a big win there, use just enough budget, if we expect too much, it will definitely bring disappointment or a very detrimental impact on the individual who gambles. Alone.

For any case or eventuality that arises, we must always focus on taking care of our money, there is no other option. Whoever does not take care of his money , I believe , is doing things very badly and may always be making mistakes and will never generate profits. It's good to have fun and have a different time, but to have fun you have to be very mature, especially with the money that we are willing to lose in a casino, it is always good to take Control so that we don't do it fall into temptations to continue making deposits So don't lose money later, that is something we should never do , if you lose you lose , if we start making deposits and keep Losing , we Run out of money.

It is very difficult to control one's emotions in gambling, but if gambling is continued based entirely on emotions, then those emotions will not bring us anything good at some point. Gamblers go to casinos and gamble with the expectation that they will win big money at some point by gambling and after winning big money they will quit gambling altogether. Gambling with such expectations may result in some gamblers winning a few jackpot rounds, but most gamblers do not win the jackpot and continue to gamble more. I have heard so many stories of gamblers who won the jackpot but couldn't put that big money to good use and then gambled away that money and lost. That is, our needs are never limited, even after winning big money, we still need to win more money and that's why we don't see profit from gambling.

Precisely for this reason I have always emphasized that we cannot control our emotions as we think because we could be in control, so to avoid such a thing it is better to control our money when playing, I say this from my point of view. As it is quite given to my own experience , both in trading and in games of chance I learned that the best thing is to put the money that I am willing to lose, what I do is that, and if I lose the money then no. I can't do anything but accept my loss and think about what I can learn from it, generally when you lose you learn more and with respect to emotions, because by controlling money emotions can come out to manifest themselves without any problem.

In soke way gambling may seem to pointless, bit everyone first has a reason to gamble and that is to make money form some bets but after while and you start becoming more conversant with how gambling works and you are now able to predict the games yourself, there is every possibility that you may want to gamble to pass time, I've seen peopel come to a gambling shop to spend some huge amounts and when you look deeper they rode a fancy car and seem to carry a big bundle of cash, the question is does this guy really gamble for money? Cause i believe they are a thousand ways to for him to really use his money make clean profit then why gamble it away, its not capital issues but rather it has becomes something he like to do, so I think making predictions can be a little fun or let's call it addiction.

It's hard if you wants a lot from gambling because gambling is just for have fun.

Not at all, because gambling is a business, an industry with huge cash flows.

Quote from: ethereumhunter on June 12, 2024, 02:55:38 AM

You can wins in gambling but you can expects to wins many times because gambling is not a place to make money.

You are absolutely right in saying that gambling is not a place to make money (as gamblers), but that is what people come there for. All this sounded “fun” immediately turns out to be empty if you remove money as an element of bets.

You don't play casino emulators (without betting money), right? Agree, this is not fun at all.

Quote from: ethereumhunter on June 12, 2024, 02:55:38 AM

You can only enjoy the gambling games without thinks about how big the money you can wins.

The gambler doesn't think about the amount he wants to win, but expects to win (at least some).

Quote from: ethereumhunter on June 12, 2024, 02:55:38 AM

If you wants to make money, you better search for the other ways so you will have more chances to makes money.

Money is earned at work (or for services rendered). For money, go in that direction.

Quote from: ethereumhunter on June 12, 2024, 02:55:38 AM

You don't have to try so hard to makes money from gambling. You can try to have an investment in bitcoin if you wants to make a big profit.

I would not put investing in bitcoin and gambling on the same level, because bitcoin already shows stable profitability. But investing in shitcoins and gambling are in the same category.

Some people actually play gambling for fun yes you are quite right and some people also play to gain little money it might not be something big but as long as they are gotten little stuff from gambling they feel like they are okay meanwhile set of people and gambling to make more money for their self together with the one they already have or the one they have already gotten from the gambling well to me I don't see any reason why someone could waste money in gambling just because of the person want to gamble for fun it doesn't make sense to me anyway but some people actually do that

Indeed, it would be better for someone to gamble just for fun and this will certainly prevent them from continuing to gamble. Of course, this will not make us addicted to gambling, because gambling too often will cause us to experience many effects. The bad things we will feel both in relationships with people around us and financially are because it is difficult to win at gambling and if we spend a lot of money on gambling it will certainly make us have financial problems.

For some people who are not addicted to gambling, of course they will never understand what makes gamblers spend more of their time gambling than time on other things, because I think those who are willing to spend a lot of time gambling certainly don't have jobs that can they do so that they hope that with the bets they play they will be able to get a win from it and only luck can win.

Me personally, I want exciting sounds and flashy lights that give me a warm fuzzy feeling inside to kill a few minutes here or there with some entertainment. Sure, good odds and the possibility of winning money are nice motivators as well, but ultimately I just want to enjoy myself without too much commitment.

One shouldn't be carried away by odd, as all the odds are always against every gamblers, when a gambler starts winning it also motivate the gamblers, so the more a gambler wins, the more the gambler continues to gamble. When someone is committed to gamble, he ends up as an addicted bettor, so it's best not to be too committed to gamble at all.

Initially when I started to gamble a bit, it was to get lucky and hopefully win big that'll change my fortune, but then I realized that gambling wasn't a get rich quick scheme. Now I just gamble for the thrill of it, take a little risk with the amount that I can afford to loose, and try not to worry much if I lose a bet, and if it happens that I win, I'll be more thrilled and that is it. I've learned not to take gambling too seriously a Wink

;)s a none professional gambler, I just engage in it as a pass time to have fun, not too serious about winnings because it doesn't happen often.

I can literally relate , at first when I started it , it was all about hitting a jackpot that can change my life . But at the end as time goes I notice with that mindset I was only losing my money more . And wasn't gambling responsibly at all which makes things worse , but now after my experience, I've learned through the hard way , that gambling ain't a get rich quick scheme. So now I hardly do it and am doing I don't usually put high expectation like I use to , and now I can stay months without doing it , I was lucky not get addicted to it due to the way started back then .

I am on the exact opposite of the scale, I started with such small amounts that it meant absolutely nothing. Back when I started gambling, 1 satoshi was allowed in the first casinos, I started my first crypto gambling literally at satoshidice when it was on-chain gambling itself, which was definitely a rare thing even then, rarer even still. So, when you gamble with just 1 satoshi at primedice or just-dice that was allowed and my idea was that if I do that for long enough time, I could get lucky. Meaning, I could gamble a million times with it, and I would be in profit, or at the very worst case, I wouldn't be in a big loss.

Eventually I realized that was just boring with nearly no result, you win nothing and lose nothing, nothing important at least. So, I gambled a bit more, not crazy jackpot chasing levels, just a bit more.

Well I get your point, is like one Is stock in a time loop of win nothing and lose nothing. And it may definitely endup being boring but despite that one still have to be careful with the amount of money he or she should use Inorder to make the gambling more exciting
So that by any chances the individual endup losing that money he will feel bad and he can easily moveon with the losses . Than using a certain huge amount of money that should be use to take care if expenses to. Gamble and endup losing he or she may not any other options but to chase over such loss in order to get that they have loss. So as long you are using what you can afford, then Is all good.

In my case, my goal is to have fun and if I win some money then I will be very happy with that, when I analyze a football game, I am doing it because I enjoy it and not because I want to make money, I like to test it until to what extent can I get the results of the games right, even when I don't have money to bet, yet when I watch the games I analyze them to see if I can get it right, and when I make a mistake I don't get sad, I don't get disappointed, on the contrary I get more motivated to improve in my analyses, so this is betting for pleasure and that's why I consider myself a person who is into sports betting to have fun and not because I believe I'm going to make money, I don't believe in this idea that I could make money consistently with sports betting

Lately I'm just looking for fun, even though basically I also hope to win but still, I don't have the ambition to always win. Because after all, I also place bets on sportsbooks and as such, I just try to find fun by betting and watching matches even though more often than not I just look for what the end result will be like. But that way, I feel happy and not stressed or depressed when I lose, even though I also bet with money that I am not fully prepared to lose. But at least, if I do it for fun because it involves one of the matches or teams competing, then that is enough to make me happy, especially when my bet wins then of course it really is like a very impressive experiment in betting.

Are you sure that you have no sense of goal at all when you are doing gambling? So what comes to your mind when you are gambling? Just play without any feeling of being challenged, happy when you win, sad when you lose your bet? Frankly, this is the first time I hear someone do gambling with no sense of goal/direction so that's why I'm confused why did you do it, at least what is reason of gambling?

Yes, there should be at least a goal, whether it's earning money or having fun because these two are the only things one can think of before they get into gambling. A gambler will either think of getting profits from gambling or want to have a good time with the allocated funds, either way, they will have a goal to achieve from it.

I know that sometimes some people might get into gambling for other reasons as well such as to get rid of depression or loneliness where a person who feels lonely most of the times or stressed out, they might think of gambling for a bit to maybe divert their thoughts from what's teasing them towards something that might bring a smile on their face for once. However, this is very rare, and the reasons I've mentioned above are more common.

Majority of gamblers believes that gbling is a means to make profit. Most people that got I to gamble was with this mindset a d that is why you see that everyday new gamblers are coming on board. Those people that turns the casino to their houses will end up losi g everything that they have to the casino because the more you gamble, is the more chances of running at loss.

Initially, I was gambling for profit but after some time when I realized that it is impossible to make profit from gambling, I stopped and started gambling for fun with very little amount that will not affect me even if I lose the bet. I am happy now that I can control my emotions, and I enjoy gambling.
