If you can control yourself, still, try to limit yourself from gambling since despite you saying that you are just playing for fun, for excitement or for the money, you are still losing money and time in the long run. I know this is hard for those people that are actually trying to do that and actually addicted to it, but still, keep on trying.

How can we limit ourselves if we cannot control? We need help if this already happening to us since I'm sure we will struggle to find the better solution for ourselves since if we see someone playing especially if that person is our friend for sure we will go back again and again to gamble. I think the best solution for addicted gamblers is to go to the rehabilitation center since addiction is mental disability so this one could help for the person affected on this.

That is just a typo though.

The sentence there should be,"If you can control yourself, still, try to limit yourself from gambling since despite you saying that you are just playing for fun, for excitement or for the money, you are still losing money and time in the long run.". I know that people are having a hard time controlling themselves in gambking so they better find a way to limit themselves like keeping a record of their bets or just bringing enough money to gamble.

Gambling in it context can't be define as a general acceptable definition but as individual definition. You define what you think about gambling as well as others. But into this case, gambling to me is: an avenue were you can easily relax your mindset while having fun, being that, am defining gambling in the context of womanhood.

Most of my gambling these days are now be done on sports betting due to the covid-19 lockdown. As we'll know sporting is a career and when you understand your team; then go for it, winning is sure except if the game go otherwise. During this lockdown, I have made some good cashout and not regretting my involvement in gambling.

Are you a gambler? Do you really know what gambling is?

From personal experience of mine
* Gambling for me is something you have the chance of winning the prize or any value, if there is no chance then you're not gambling. Gambling requires that there is a chance you might win something for your bet.
* Gambling also considered as a way source of income, there are many gamblers who tend to play because of earning money but the sad part of it is when you tend to play for money but going out having a lack of money.
* Gambling also considered a way of entertainment, there are many people who play gamble just only for entertainment or to kill boredom, it is more fun when you play with your friends.
* Some also considered gambling as a threat, once you become addicted to gambling there are many things that could change, you may lose control, you may forget some of the responsibilities of yours, as a parent, as a child, as wife or husband, etc.
The worst thing is that you may lose all of your property and can cause depression on you.

1. I wanna ask you guys are there any other definitions for you about what gambling is?
2. What are/is the accurate definition of gambling on you based on the definition above?

I think for me I see gambling as an entertainment with a high chance of earning with great risk. We can chose to bet more and win more/lose more. It is some sort of entertainment for me but with the knowledge and desire of winning the game too. We can't deny that the entertainment we got from it comes with the great desire to also win it. I think the difference between me and a compulsive one is I know my limit, I never go beyond, I control my funds and as long as I achieve the limit, I can still afford to stop.

I think we all have different perspective on how we see gambling. I think the meaning of gambling also changes when a certain gambler already focus on winning and getting back what he had just lost. It is also possible that it means profit for some, however, achieving profit in gambling comes with higher risk. That's why hopefully I don't want to see gambling as a profit for myself.

Gambling. For me it is one way of having fun especially if I am bored or if I want to have bonding time with my cousins and friends. Some make this as their source of income especially if they are lucku while others are the same as mine. During this time, quarantine I find it as a source of income by not playing it, by promoting it instead.

A time for get together with friends at a place and chit chat and also to play some games for fun. Have a great time and also can have beverages in the casinos and give you flexibility to hang around with the great ambience and meet some new people and make new friends as well.

We can have a different meaning or perspective about gambling but I think we will all agree that gambling includes risking. For me, [gambling is an activity where we risk something valuable to us in exchange for winning or acquiring something that is also valuable].

We can have an objective and subjective definition of gambling depending on our experiences. And what I have said above is the objective meaning of gambling for me. While subjective thoughts, gambling is for leisure and entertainment. I find gambling entertainment and a way to pass the time. Gambling is not a bad activity, it only looks like a bad thing because of how people can be affected by this if they cannot handle their own emotions and desires.

If you treat gambling as an entertainment, you are on a safe side, that means you are ok with your allocation and you can go home losing and even put a smile in your face because you fun playing.
If you treat gambling as something to make a business and profit out of it,then you should prepare to allocate a huge amount of money and take a huge risk of losing everything in one game.

This doesn't make sense at all though I think what you are saying here is "can't" and not can since you already said control then again you said limit which is confusing to read.

And I hope you stayed on that path, my friend. A lot of people I know said that to me and most of us were addicted to gambling after some years. You should be able to think what you wanted to do and go straight to it, don't make a right or left turn to gambling, just go straight to what you should be doing and what you should want to do.

Yeah the same with I only gamble when I'm bored since gambling right now is one of the best option since we can't go out due to quarantine.

It is something that we should be worried about if we are not in control.

If you can control yourself, still, try to limit yourself from gambling since despite you saying that you are just playing for fun, for excitement or for the money, you are still losing money and time in the long run.

2. What are/is the accurate definition of gambling on you based on the definition above?

Here's my brief definition,

1.) Gambling in general :
Pretty much everything in life is gambling, because there's nothing more certain than death and taxes lol, and everything else is like gambling where the outcome is uncertain but only hopes for good at the end of the day.

2.) Gambling by your own definition :
Is the unnecessary spending of your resources hoping to find pleasure while earning more resources, but has also the chance of lossing everything.

Different people have different definitions when it comes to gambling. Maybe some defines gambling as a way for them to get some money quick. Some may say that it is a way for them to relieve stress etc etc.

For me, gambling is a way for me to be excited whenever I watch games. It maybe sounded different but I only bet on sports games and not on card base games or other games that are common in the casinos like poker, roulette, dice etc. I only gamble so that the excitement will be higher whenever I watch my favorite teams playing. Aside from that, I don't know what gambling is to me. I don't see it as a quick rich scheme or as an entertainment like other people.

you said gambling makes you thrilled but you also said that you dont know the definition of gambling to you. being thrilled is i think part of being entertained so thats it , gambling for you is way to get entertained . we are the same because i also play gambling just to kill some time and also want to make friends via the form of gambling chats . i just depo small and also bet small to make me satisfied while chatting at the same time too .

for me gamble is a form of entertainment that gives people the chance to earn a lot of money quickly and without much effort. But it is clear that this is in theory because in practice many people lose money in gambling and few people make money from gambling, for this reason the owners of the casinos are the only ones who become very rich

Quote from: verita1 on May 22, 2020, 04:58:15 PM

From my own experience gambling is entertainment but when luck is on my side I see it as my chance to win some money.

this one and point that I keep thinking about it a lot, for example you play 10 times with each $10 bet and win only 1 time $30 every month, but you see on the site people who have always won and left with very high profits . I wonder if Gambling really has to do with luck or gamble has to do with knowledge and strategy?

Quote from: verita1 on May 22, 2020, 04:58:15 PM

I also know that gambling is very addictive and that I must control myself and not enter the vicious circle.

you can add stress. Yes, every time someone is constantly losing develops stress

Quote from: Sirait on May 22, 2020, 05:30:34 PM

I'm not sure people who say gambling is just entertainment and gambling takes away stress say the truth Cheesy

entertainment Is everything that gives us enjoyment, but I agree that gambling can bring stress when the person is constantly losing

I don't really mind about the meaning of the meaning if they lose as it will only make other gamblers feeling more broke when they think of the meaning of gambling. I experienced the same thing, it only made me think of the money I lose before and I could have use it to buy things that I needed rather than losing it all.

Gambling is where the result of event is only determined by chance. The term "luck" is enough speculative, because mostly, people consider "luck" as a term for their winning. If they loosing, that's definitely not luck :DD

So gambling it's not about luck, it's about probability and risk. Your risking your money and depending on the fact that this time, big number theory will be on your side.

So what is 'luck'? I understand 'luck' as a chance that was produced in your favor. In other words, you were 'lucky' and you were win.

It doesn't matter what words are synonymous with good 'luck'. The main thing is that all the circumstances in the gambling game are in your favor and you win.

So, with hard work your chances for getting lucky are higher. There's a joke, I don't know did you hear it before, it goes like this: "Dear God, please help me win the lottery. I really need the money, so please help me win. He is begging and crying for help, and after some time he got his answer “BUY A LOTTERY TICKET!”" In other words if you don't try it you can't win it, without trying and hard work you can't get lucky! And we all know that one try is almost like you didn't try at all!

Winning the lottery without a ticket is really very difficult Grin

Luck doesn't happen by itself, either. The chance to win in slot machines is always set in the settings of the machines. In roulette, you can also calculate the chance of winning. I have a saying in my country: "The chance to win the state lottery is the same as winning a train by buying a train ticket."
In many cases, the chance of winning can be calculated. Therefore, the luck is quite palpable.

Well, I learned to gamble when I was 10, and it started with me playing games. It is a bit of surprising, right? Someone learning it from playing with his friends. At first, when I learned it, I thought it is something I could walk into so I can help my parents since at that time we have no house at tall. We are risking smaller money to get big money in exchange for that smaller money that we can use to make our lives better. But the risk here is not always the money, but also the gambling itself. Right now, gambling is a dark classroom to me where I reminisce a lot of things that I've done wrong and learn from it one by one.

Therefore we gamblers are obsessed with the money or by winning?
Gambling for me is just merely for an entertainment only and we can't deny the fact that we sometimes lose ourselves when experiencing a lot of losses. Thus, we want to enjoy by seeing ourselves winning and not just giving our money for nothing and that my friend is an entertainment. We pay for fun.
