Topic: What do you really want from gambling? - page 2. (Read 1374 times)

You just opened a can of worms man lol.

But in reality, initially what I wanted from gambling was fun, even when I was getting addicted, which is really weird. Hear me out, when I was introduced to gambling, it was with a group of friends who wanted to find something to do when we were stuck inside our respective houses, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Eventually everyone had their own affairs to work upon, and I was left alone to gamble, and while yes, I gamble to gain the money that I lost all those times, I also chased the high that I experienced and long for back when I was still gambling with friends, which is just something that is pretty much nonexistent already.

So this is really weird, I am a gambler who always advocates for other people to gamble for fun instead of money, but essentially, I got addicted to gambling (and fortunately was able to snap out of it) because I chase the fun.

There is no fun if you just gamble for money but this is the undeniable fact that, if not all, the majority are thinking of growing their money from this. That is why even poor people, despite their situation and for the sake of their gambling habits still have the guts to spare money for it.

The common reason why people gamble is for money but unfortunately, we all not given such an opportunity to become lucky and win. While only a few gamblers are winning, the majority are losing badly. As a gambler, we should accept the fact that gambling is not a place to rely on when it comes to earning because no matter what we do, it can never change the reality.

But don't let us try to force ourselves to continue gambling, especially when we lose, when that happens, what we have to do is stop. As you said, gambling completely depends on luck and winning is true, because even though there are some gambling games that require strategy, skill and knowledge, this does not guarantee that you will definitely win, because even though gambling requires some skill, luck still plays a role. I'm not sure that by trying we can win, what do you mean by trying?
Gambling is indeed a means of entertainment, with those of you who gamble because gambling gives you pleasure, where is the pleasure if not from winning?
Maybe the sensation we get when we gamble is where the fun lies, because I sometimes feel confused about those who gamble for fun, unless they are ready to lose money and fully understand what gambling is like. But even those who gamble for fun doesn't mean they don't want to win.

I like your idea that gambling is all about luck more than anything else. What this means is that one can only win when luck strikes at the right time, and I would also slightly disagree with your idea of a gambler having to keep trying to continue his involvement in gambling in order to get what he's hoping for. I understand that casinos provide opportunities for everyone, but try to think that you will never know when you will be able to realize something you hope for because luck is something that can never be controlled.

There is no certainty and no guarantee in gambling regardless of whether you are an addict or not, meaning that even if for example you are a responsible gambler who can control your gambling activities well then it does not mean that someday you will be able to realize something you hope for such as a big win. But yes I agree with the last point you said above that you gamble just for fun or entertainment without putting excessive expectations on winning, keep it up.

You don't even know what you wanna achieve achieve from gambling just yet? If you're asking yourself this question at the time, then you clearly got enticed to gamble without a purpose.
Exactly! He hasn't realized just yet that everything he said landed on an even ground - which is making money out of it. What's the fantasy behind it? Everything revolves around the fact that you gotta earn from it in the most slickest, possible ways.

Edit: What makes it unpromising is the uncertainty on whether or not a game would come forth. So why would anyone fund their accounts to wager for nothing sake?

I just smiled at your post because you just nailed it. If you look at scam section and see the amount people complain about some casino been suspended, you will be shocked with how much they really put in gambling and I will be like "do people actually gamble with this amount, no way this is about fun but an avenue to make more money", whether we like it or not majority of people makes money frkm gambling to survive and only few make fun from it, if I have that way to make some Bitcoin, I will pick that before the fun.

Everyone has their priorities in life and gambling is just one but with what I have seen around here, I think we know what we want actually, go through the Announcement thread of casinos in this forum, most gamblers play to get more Bitcoin in return, only few bets to get USDT, I guess we can just call that Bitcoin fun.

Not everyone can achieve what we want from gambling but still we keep trying because we all want to get big rewards from gambling. Winning or losing in gambling depends entirely on luck. If one keeps trying then he can win from gambling. And those who don't try can't get anything through gambling. As long as a gambler persists in gambling, he will have the opportunity to reap great rewards from gambling. If a gambler conducts gambling without becoming addicted, he will eventually get his expected return from gambling. I don't expect much from gambling. I gamble because it gives me pleasure. That is what I think of as the center of entertainment.

Probably, losing is nobody's option when it comes to gambling and any other real life activity. Many a times, I get to focus on hitting a specific amount of money before setting out on a new gambling section. But, it hardly shows up, as I tend not to get it easily. The goal actually differs at my end. It's just a mood thing, sometimes I gamble without caution depending if I'm weak and exhausted, but feels like to wager some funds. But, when energized my goal switches to staying careful and focusing on the most important strategy of all; responsible gambling. Yes, a gambler who has never won a dime will most definitely stop or quit gambling. But, if he's able to win few amount of money he'd expect profits even when he's losing.

Gambling is a combination of fun, mostly fun and in same case to earn profit, the fun in gambling is when the user has to get both loss and profit meanwhile if the loss comes often then it is advised that the gambler give in some space and try back later or a few would decide to quit. Most times in my bet, within me I know that my selection has a very difficult chances to enter but yet I still have them in my pick because I believe that is the fun fact about gambling and I wouldn't mind losing the staked amount considering I am not chasing profits just alone what I felt within to do.

Well, the answers to this question will be different from a person to another, because we have many types of gamblers and everyone is taking different ideas towards gambling, unfortunately most of them are wrong, since they make you lose money, not any money but your savings or a sum of money that you want. There's no fun in losing money that is important to you
Although you are confused about what you are really doing when you gamble, then I request you to stop gambling. If you are not having fun responsibily when you gamble then that's not a healthy way for gambling.

Personally, I gamble to have fun with the money I'm ready to lose, so whenever I get a small win, I enjoy it.

Absolutely correct, I don't think anyone would actually go to a casino with the mindset of going to loss his or her funds, even if their intentions was to gamble for fun, they would actually get more of the fun when they are on the winning side. The probability of winning the casino in terms of profit and loss is quite small and that is why even small wins are appreciated by bettors because it create an atmosphere where you forget about the loses. And this is the more reason why I have doubts that a gambler would actually play casino games for fun, if not for the purpose of making extra mone,  why would a someone gamble against a program for fun when the odds of winning is obviously against them?

The fact is weather directly or indirectly everyone wants to win in gambling activities because that is part of the goal in the first place. Although a lot of gamblers arguably have other reasons for Gambling like keeping busy during idle times, having fun or even reducing stress, winning is also a very important part of gambling in the first place as it is the normal human nature to crave wining as nobody likes to lose in the first place.
If you even come to think of it, a gambler who obviously isn't a gambling addict will quit gambling if he is loosing more often than he is making wins.

Something I want is first of all looking for fun and after that hoping that one day I will get big luck even though that is very impossible for me because I always bet small amounts.
I said I wanted to find fun because I tried to make my thoughts more positive rather than having thoughts that I wanted big profits but ended up being addicted because I couldn't accept the loss and that doesn't mean I'm a hypocrite, but I admit that even though I'm a gambler who just has fun Of course, I also want to win so that the capital I have doesn't run out quickly and I also have the same thought, hoping to win just to be able to bet longer, but if I get a bigger win, I consider it a bonus.

The steps I take are usually to bet on slot games with smaller bets and then buy free spins for a slightly larger amount to see if my hope of getting a big multiplier can be achieved.
However, to this day I have not been able to achieve this hope because getting a large multiplier like 150,000x is very difficult.

Of course everyone knows the gambling industry, one of the common sites is money vs. money, in that case luck, good and bad luck is born, The bottom line for me is that I only want to win a jackpot of millions of dollars in crypto, that's all, but I have never succeeded in that, win like in general often, but that's not what I want, the jackpot I want, when will it happen, I'm not sure about it myself.

Of course I'm going to do it, maybe with what I've read and what I've heard from friends I've done it, the facts on the ground have not shown positive results, I mean I haven't gotten what I've done and dreamed of.

Of course, like you, it happens when everything you want and do is not achieved and you don't get good results, at this time I am gambling without direction and purpose.

Everything I say is very healthy.

I hope you can control yourself well in managing your finances because having the thought that gambling can earn money as one of the other goals of your gambling, because sometimes at a certain moment we will experience a distraction in the way of thinking because of the ambition and desire for more gambling to make money, it will pull all of you to go deeper and risk more money in gambling.
Maybe you can think today can control it but in practice it may get a different atmosphere, and it could be that at that time you feel you have a chance when it is not certain so deposit more money, and you can't lose it.

Most of their gamblers make bets to be able to win what they bet on, although there are some people who gamble with the aim of just having fun so that whatever results they get from gambling, of course they will never be a problem for them and they will never do it. gambling too often because they are not the type of gambler who has experienced an addiction to gambling.

It is true that to be able to win at gambling requires luck and it is very unlikely that we can get it continuously and only occasionally can we win, therefore it is very unlikely that we can make gambling a source of income and it would be better if we could limit gambling. ourselves so that we don't experience things we don't want.

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?

My main goal from gambling games is to be a part of the casino and earn from the players not waste money on their games. Its like the sly fox who works in the back. This can be in the form on investing and affiliate marketing, both of which I have tried in the past and the first one has been very successful for myself without much effort from my side.

Hence my goal from gambling is pretty much complete but it will run for long as I can sustain or the casino can sustain and I will also try to increase my portfolio of investments on other casinos in the future.

Change is constant for everyone, knowing the outcome and easily spot them out shouldn't be a problem. What do we really want from gambling, ofcourse we're looking at profits, that's simply staying on a lane that's promising on our end. Gambling is a challenge and not everyone have the mind to gamble, we rest for better days and strives for greater possibilities of earnings.

Economic factors are one of the reasons why most people gamble, which actually makes them suffer even more. Moreover, those who have no experience and knowledge in gambling only want to do it because they see videos or streaming broadcasts, most of which are made just to attract customers. Although it is true, they are not aware of the losses they experienced previously and they gained due to experience and improvement in their gambling skills in the long term.
Online gambling has a strategy to attract people who have economic limitations and also lower middle class people who are easily tempted and tempted by their ambition to make money from gambling. And these problems occur a lot so that in the end their lives become increasingly difficult. And cases that often occur are losing everything, families being destroyed and some even committing crimes just to get money to gamble so they can continue playing just to chase losses. And all the bad incidents related to gambling will not disappear as long as the proliferation of advertisements and videos of big wins continue to exist, which are actually all caused by their own mistakes and carelessness without thinking about the risks involved. And also learn well before getting involved, how to be a responsible gambler because whatever the reason, income from gambling is inconsistent which cannot be used as a source of income.
