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.

Gambling is a game of luck for me and because there is luck that will make gambling can generate profits and losses, there is nothing wrong when there are many different definitions and perspectives because each individual makes gambling for a different reason and purpose. So, I don't think there is an accurate definition in gambling, because there are always pros and cons to gambling itself, which of course everyone is free to interpret it all.

emmm, I think that gambling is a game to make money quickly. I never thought gambling was entertainment because I was entertained only when I won

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

From my own experience gambling is entertainment but when luck is on my side I see it as my chance to win some money. I also know that gambling is very addictive and that I must control myself and not enter the vicious circle.

To talk about my personal opinion, gambling is an entertainment method for me. Also, gambling is something that can make money while having fun. Although there is no guarantee in gambling, it is possible to earn money and we can earn it while having fun. For this reason, the best definition of gambling for me is that it is a money-saving entertainment method. On the other hand, gambling is also preferred as a method where I can evaluate my free time.
Same with me, nothing else.

I don't want to think of gambling as a major way of getting income/profit 'cause it's not stable and sometimes it's very unreliable.

So probably, I'm just gambling if I found something easy to bet like when I know who's gonna win in the eSports tournament. At some point, even I'm betting, it makes me feel thrilled and excited so that's the way how I treat gambling. Gambling can be also a stress-relieving method like playing online games, it makes me feel calm and stay positive during circumstances in life.
It should be on this way but there are people who do go cross the border and treat it way more than it should be where they do already come to a point on where they do bet out to gambling just because they do mainly aim
on making profits which they do believe that it can sustain out their living which is nearly impossible but there are fellas whom do manage to do such stuff but we know that this is only good for skill based ones.
gambling is indeed for entertainment and should really be a stress reliever not a stress creator because we cant really deny that everytime we do lose money we got stressed or becoming too emotional.
Yes, if we have a losing streak, we get stress and there's nothing to recover from that but to chill and find another way of entertainment. So it means if we treat gambling as profit-making and ended up losing then the purpose of gambling as a stress reliever will be defeated.

I hope gamblers knew this thing, especially those who're playing chance-based gambling games, just always make up your mind that it shouldn't be a money-making activity to avoid losing a lot of money.

Well, the Dictionary can give a general definition of gambling but all the things that were mentioned above refer to the meaning of gambling. All of us can define it in our own perception because it may differ on how we look at it whether if it is for entertainment or as a source of income. In my own, --gambling is a game of entertainment with the involvement of something that we value will be at stake in exchange of a chance in getting of something that has a higher value. Without wager or betting for a prize then it is not gambling rather a promotion. It definitely differs from trading because with trading it has less entertainment and you take every action seriously though both of these two aims the same and that is profit.

* 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.

Gambling for me is just risking your money in exchange for a chance to win big with some entertainment in the process of doing so, just like your *1 and *3 combined. Perhaps so many problem gamblers exist out there because they took this game too seriously.

Remember:
Addiction, mentally ill, health symptoms, etc. Too much negativity in the gambling industry, especially in this forum where ironically casinos have paid a lot of users.
You know what? You are a gambler even though you haven't realized it.
When you were a kid in school, you gamble in your exam when you didn't know the answer. Should I mark option A or B or C?
You gamble in your career path, your spouse, your children's education, literally everything that is unknown.
But it doesn't involve money, sir? You gamble in your purchasing and investment decisions as well.

Thank you for reading, let's be more positive and tell me a funny/interesting story about your gambling experience here. Gambling should be for fun, not for getting rich.

For me gambling is by definition the act of "chancing" your hand at something where there are different odds of you succeeding or losing something of value. This can be tokens or actual coins or money or digital tokens like Crypto currencies. The odds are always slightly in favor of the person offering you the ability to gamble, because they are doing that to profit. ( I want to say "The house" but some theme parks offer games where you also pay to play games to WIN something of value)

Gambling is also a form of entertainment and a opportunity for you to get the adrenaline pumping, without you having to participate in something dangerous. Gambling can become dangerous, if you do not know when to stop, but for the majority of people it is just a lot of fun and something to spend their idle time on.  Wink

You have mentioned all the possible definitions of gambling, what gambling really means for me is a way of entertainment and source of income for me. I gamble because I want to earn money and at the same time to have fun as well, I think that is what other gamblers thought about gambling. Most of us only consider this us our entertainment or something that will kill our boredom but when the time we really need money, we take risks our money from gambling. We bet, we gamble because we want to make more money.
I don't call myself a gambler because I don't gamble every day, and I don't use my most time to gamble. I used gambling as another activity in my free time, and I don't stay for a long time in the gambling places just to playing gambling games. I know consequences and the risk in gambling, so that makes me limit my money and my time. Gambling, for me, means playing some gambling games to have fun and enjoy my free time, but I will stop anytime I want.
That's nice, it is better not to be exposed more in gambling, there are still many ways for us to earn money. Limiting ourselves from gambling is really great because if we get addicted to it, things will get worst.

I guess we will have different meaning about gambling, but we agree that gambling is an activity that we do with using the money involved. Many people think that gambling is one way to make money but only a few people who can make that money while the rest of them are losing money. We can play gambling anytime we want, but we need to have control in the games so we can prevent the loss. We don't have to spend so much money on gambling because our reason to play gambling is to have fun and not to make money.

It's my life.... just kidding man.  Grin

Well, as I ma matured now, gambling has only been part of my entertainment, I did not put a lot of time just to gamble as I know it will not bring good result to me if I am too attached with it, of course I learn from my past experience.

If gambling will disappear, I would still live my life as normal, so its attachment to my life is not really strong compared in the past.
Just like now, sports are halted but I don't force myself to still gamble with other games, so I have that discipline and control already.
Experience is always been the best teacher in all aspects of life, not only applied on gambling but in all sorts.We do become more mature as we experience
more things in life.I admit that i commit some mistake towards gambling and make myself a little bit addicted to it which in result to spend up way too much
and come to a point where i do compromise life savings which is really a dumb thing that do happen because of my decision to let my addiction control me.


We should do thing moderately so that it wont really affect that much because gambling is really just intended for entertainment purposes.

For most of us, we should think that its main purpose is for entertainment, but it's not also bad if we go ambitious and try our journey in gambling and say if we can be like those professionals who are really making money consistently in gambling, but at the end of the day, we should always be honest with our capacity as that is the only way we will maintain our activity gambling realistically.

Well I guess my own perception of gambling also fits its definition, gambling is any kind of participation that involves risking your funds with 50/50 chance of winning. Because from my years of being involved with online gambling platforms, I haven't seen legit gambling that provides higher chance in winning. Who really does right? Houses are meant to win in the long run. Meaning, you really need to risk your funds and to test your luck in order to achieve the grand prize.

Enjoyment playing with the involvement of money is considered as gambling. It there is no money involved, it is just a plain betting or just a normal playing. Whatever definitions it means to us, gambling will still be a kind of fun that we tend to always go back because at the same time we can eventually earn from it.
 
 We can have easy money when we winin gambling but we can also lose much in just a snap of fingers.

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?
Definitions of Gambling varies from each person to another. I might say that there's no wrong definition for it because it all depends on the insight of the one who engage with it. Even if someone say "Gambling is life", for some it was too shallow but for him it was very meaningful already Smiley.

Anyway, for me gambling is a serious way of entertainment but never a career. It was a poison and antidote in your life at the same time. Everything just depends on how you deal with it. So choose wisely.

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

Since you say "accurate" then we can direct to the real definition of gambling based on our own dictionary or any web search engines. And that's the one you already posted.

Does it have any accurate answers aside from that information you have shared with us? What do you mean by here?

As for what kind of gambler are me, I think this is like, introducing yourself to everyone. Gambling for fun, gambling for money, gambling as a sideline, gambling as etc. I don't see any further discussions needed at this type of subject unless you are collecting data for something.

It seems there are some content or words you got from certain sources. Kindly put or enclose the source links on the OP, mate. If you don't do it, people will consider it plagiarism, like what Jawhead999 said above.

Regarding what gambling means to me, it is something that has 2 purposes.
1. A place to have fun after a tiring day of work.
2. A place to try my luck to earn additional money.

That's mine. Others may be quite different!  Cheesy

I'm sure everyone has a different understanding about gambling, for me gambling is as universal a language as it likes  sports and music.
Everyone from various countries can play gambling and with a variety of economic conditions. Because gambling does not belong to the rich,
gambling belongs to everyone. And gambling can also provide unexpected income. Because of that I like gambling.
