Topic: What do you really want from gambling? - page 6. (Read 1389 times)

Personally I'm more into entertainment but I won't be hiding the idea that there are times I am hoping for a huge win, like who doesn't? It is a normal expectation to be honest given that you are putting your money on the line and embracing the risk. What's bad is to rely that much on this activity and to bet chances way too much. There are people who made good fortune in gambling but as we all know, we have different fate to walk through. They might be lucky and there's a possibility ofcourse for us to have it as well but never be too eager and push things too much.
Bigger the expectations, bigger the drawbacks if things won't be met. Manage the risk and your assumptions on how things really work in gambling. Practice being contented with small amount of profit 'coz if big profit is for you, then it'll come eventually.

Winning makes me feel good and that's what matters whenever I gamble too. I see gambling like every other game where players either win or lose, with cash as a reward for winning. No one wishes to lose in gambling, including those who claim they are only gambling for fun. I know there are lots of people too who are gambling  for gambling sakes and not because they really need the money. This explains why they always squander the money after every win. Just like I said earlier, winning tastes sweet and many of us just want to enjoy that sweetness while still having fun.

One interesting thing about gambling is that, no matter the reason for gambling, addiction will always set in if the gambler in question gets carried away with gambling. Yea, you are not safe even if you claim you aren't interested in the money, people get addicted to fun activities too. Be alert while gambling and your safety is sure.

Sure this is a good gambling strategy that won't lead to addiction or even greed. Picking 2 odds alone to double your money is also a good strategy but most person tend to abuse this strategy by gambling with extremely large amount so that their wins could be valuable. I admit that at some point in my gambling journey I might have acted a bit greedy with my stake to get huge return but eventually it came out a lost bet, but that's not the whole point, the most important thing is that I learnt from my mistake and took responsibility that the fault was from my inability to follow rules which I have set, and since then mistakes like that haven't been repeated.

Like others to win and get a profit and also get entertained, I don't aim to get a large amount of profit every time I play my goal only just to win more than my deposited amount. Sometimes, when we are getting more greedy its the cause why we lose most of our money, gambling goal is to give satisfaction and entertainment to the people sometimes people get over committed to gambling reason why they take it serious every game they played so they aim to win all the game cause of stress if they didn't achieve this.

TBH, I also have the same question as you to myself, it happened when I got a win from max win at Gates of Olympus and in the same hour I also lost all my winnings. So, what exactly is my goal?


Chronologically, what I wanted was entertainment, when my game became a game where there were lots of losses, I changed my orientation to seeking profit. And when another max wins came, I didn't immediately withdraw it and instead continued my game. So, what's the conclusion? It's easy for me now, it turns out I need entertainment from playing slots and also need profits from there.


There's a way in, but no way out, IYKWIM.

That is the best way to stay long in gambling without be  addicted to gambling, because if you gamble for entertainment purposes and you win big money, you will surely celebrate and remain in gambling and if you don't win, you will not panic because you take the gambling for entertainment.

What people need to understand about gambling, is to gamble for fun even though they are expecting money from the gambling but don't let it be a place where you want to win billions to start a business.

No family want to welcome someone that is addicted to gambling in their family, because they know that they don't use to respect such gamblers that take gambling as an investment.

That's is our reason to playing gambling so we must always remember that we comes to casino because we wants to playing some gambling games with some money we can afford to lose. We will not trying to use more money to keeps playing gambling because when we can gets the fun from gambling, that will be the time for us to stops our gambling activity. We will trying to holds ourselves not too long to playing gambling because we knows the risks behind that and we don't wants to lose much money.

We don't have to thinks about hit the jackpot like other people because that will needs luck while we don't knows when our luck will comes. So instead trying to playing gambling too long because expecting our luck will comes in the next rounds, we must always limits our gambling activity to prevents the lose. It's better we have fun by playing some gambling games and stops it immediately before we lose more money.

i myself gamble just for fun, and don't have a specific goal like other people. because i don't want to expect too much from gambling and don't want to set any goals for it. i only gamble when i feel bored and stop when i feel like i'm not getting anything out of it.

It's obvious that majority of persons who play gamble are hoping they could double or make extra cash from gambling while few gamble because they want to have fun with either their friends, family,team.... However most persons take their decisions too far in making extra money from gambling and that actually leads to gambling addiction or irresponsible gamble attitude which lead to getting broke and losing valuable life property by selling them to gamble. Actually there are times were I gamble for fun with my peers, I could remember when we were still kids how we gamble on football matches we play to make the game more interesting even without us know it's real gambling that is being practiced back then.

In fact, in general there are two things that gamblers want, first there are some gamblers who are really focused on wanting to win with the intention and purpose of multiplying the money they bring, and there are a small number of others who come with the intention and purpose of just looking for entertainment when they are having boring free time. Those are the two goals that gamblers usually bring with them, but let's think rationally using common sense about which one is more advisable and better to make as a goal in gambling.

First as we know that gambling is an activity that does not have any certainty and guarantees regarding what will happen at the end of the session between winning or losing, and another fact is that gambling is a business for casinos where a business certainly has the aim of making a profit, and for the problem of winning usually the victory will only happen by chance when luck comes at the right time, meaning that how can you put your intentions and goals of earning in a place that will only be able to give you victory when luck comes? While luck is something that will not be able to come according to our wishes, in addition when luck does not come then it means you lose, and that's why gambling really doesn't deserve to be made as a place to earn, because there is absolutely no element of consistency in terms of producing victory because it will only come by chance.

Do we really need to answer it while it is clear that most people (including me) is gambling to make money by risking our money?
If there are gamblers who claim themselves as doing gamble for fun only, they are lying to themselves.

Nothing, although my main goal in gambling is to make money, I have to specific steps to do it because I know that gambling is all about luck.
What I do is nothing except keep staying on my fund and time limit anytime I start my gambling session.

So what's the point of gambling if you have no sense of goal? Even for entertainment?
This makes me wonder, what do you feel when you are playing, winning and/or losing? Nothing?

It depends on those who approach their gambling, everyone really wants to win, but that doesn't mean that if they lose, they keep gambling again and again don't want to stop, there are some people who immediately stop if they lose because they have limited their gambling so as not to chase losses too much because that can lead them to even more losses. makes someone experience deeper losses, the most important thing is to be able to control oneself so as not to get too involved in the fun, this can make a person even more addicted and find it difficult to stop their activities because they enjoy gambling too much, it would be better if we act normally if gambling, winning and losing is something that This usually happens if we don't have truly definite desires.

Even though most people want to win, gambling is a game of chance and we may not be able to get it easily and the risk we will take is experiencing defeat and the attitude we should take when we lose is to stop before we experience a bigger loss. We actually shouldn't too much hope in gambling can be responsible in gambling alone is enough for us because many out there have become addicted because they want too much to win big.

We do not decide to gamble even knowing that there is a possibility of losing money. All I can hope for is that as long as I gamble, I gamble responsibly to the best of my ability and that most of the results go in my favor. Like others, I never plan to win the jackpot by gambling. I will only gamble in the hope of winning the jackpot but I may never win the jackpot so my gambling results only go against me and I suffer financially. As an attempt to make money by exploiting money there must be some hope for me. Many people may say that they take gambling only for fun but I do not take gambling only for fun but I gamble with the expectation that I can get something good out of it.

those who get big wins will also not be able to get lucky streaks. You have taken the right attitude by just having fun from the gambling you do. and it means there will be no burden if you don't win.
Most people don't know the exact purpose of the gambling they do. but I think more of a gambler aims to make money. and in fact they also experience a little problem in their finances. but chose the lucky path of gambling to make money.

I really just play gambling for fun, and if I win every now and then, of course I'm thankful because the casino platform allowed me to win whether it was luck or not. The only important thing for me is that I enjoyed it.

Although sometimes it also crosses my mind that it is the luck of the one who got the jackpot in gambling, I never felt envious. Of course, gambling is unpredictable. And since we don't what will happen when we play, its better for us to have some fun on it, right?

If you are thinking of making money by gambling then it is wrong idea for you. If anyone is thinking of making money by gambling then he is very stupid. Gambling is totally depends on luck. So always you will have good luck.   No one can give a guarantee. So it will be better for us to take gambling as entertainment. There are some people who think that they will spend their money by gambling. It is not right.

I think this scenario is common. I mean, I also had hope in the past about gambling that someday I would win a huge amount of money that could change my life. That's why I always bet on the lottery and also play other casino games online so that I could double my money or hit a jackpot. But I learned from the pain because, before I knew it, I'd already been addicted to gambling, which resulted in me having debt, but before it was too late and the situation was too bad, I managed to wake up and fix things before it was too late.
 
So it became a lesson to me that you should not rely on gambling because it will bring nothing good if you think it will make your life easier. From then on, I only play gambling when I have extra money or if I want to pass the time, but I often do sports betting as watching sports is my hobby, so I cannot help but make a bet.

Well I think while I always like playing gambling bet is because I want to make money from it without that I didn't think is anything else again but I have seen a friend that always said that even if he is billionaire today that he is not going to stop playing gambling, but for me I think once I make a huge amount of money in gambling I didn't think I would continue playing again I we just use the money and establish myself, so that's what I really want to achieve in gambling.

  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 .

No, you don't really need to but sometimes these questions will only pop up randomly just like what happened in the OP. Also like him, if you are not sure what to believe, maybe you will need to ask the help of other people. Not all goals are long term but it only depends on the person.

And sometimes to have a goal is better as it gives you a clarity and contentment once you fulfil it, so it can actually help you gamble less. You already said that gambling isn't guarantee, so no matter how much effort and time we put in it, the results are still going to be the same. It's not worth it in other words. It's better if we will apply it on something that is more guarantee like a real job outside and we are sure that we will be compensated more.
