some time ago i was gambling only for profit for a while and after some time i finally came to a conclusion that it is not possible to make any profit out of gambling or at least this is what my experience with gambling told  me. so now i am rarely gambling and if i do i do it for fun.
Yes at the beginning of my gamble is also aiming for a profit. But after I lost and did not benefit me realize that gambling is not for profit. Then I gamble for fun by limiting the amount of bets. I am aware of gambling is a game that requires luck, so better I gamble for fun rather than for profit. Most importantly if the gamble should have self-control in the betting order not to get into a defeat and loss.
Yeaaa just try to not get addicted to gamble with your past losts usually you want to chase it.
To gamble for fun is the real essential of gambling.
You will not get profit in the long term , it was a fact people must learn from their experience.

I agree with you mate. If we just gambler for fun and only use money that we can afford to lose at anytime, then there will no problem at all and we are just playing for fun - that is our ultimate goal, period. However, if our goal is like milking these online casinos and make a living out of it, then we better think twice because it will not happen most of the time.
Let's hope that every gambler wound understand that winning cannot be achieve in the long run if they do not have the skills in gambling which I believe only a gifted person can possess, therefore it's good to gamble for fun to minimize our loses and to appreciate the beauty of gambling.

I fully agree with you mate. If we bet randomly for a longer period of time we will surely lose, that is the fact because casinos have their house edge advantage. That house edge is taking effect to all of us who gambles and if we just bet randomly and without a pre-planned bet, then we will surely lose. playing for entertainment is different story though

Do the self control or limit the time of gambling is the most effective and safest in keeping our lives. For if we've not been able to control myself so addicted in gambling will be made into a bad person and chances are that life now and in the future will be very bad and it can cause them to become crazy because it was not able to do anything because it has a lot of debt or poor
If all gamblers know hot to manage their financial I think no one will become get addicted but they just playing gambling if they wanted and nothing more. If we all know that gambling is not a money making machine we will be just fine by playing with it without risk.
Many of us aware that it it not money maker but we still make money for example betting on sports ,playing some dice to earn and win thats the real happening .I will not play Dice just for fun is dice makes us fun just clicking and rolling dice over and over ?think on it its a boring gambling but why many gamblers are playing its for money to make it double Dices makes money in double faster that way it is not boring.
but we may not know when we will gonna win right? what if you play today then no one back of your bets? Do you think that is still not boring at all? For me if you really wanted to be safe in gambling, you need to just use the amount that you can afford to lose.

So anyway, I applied as a merit source :)
Most people gamble for profit - it is the hard truth.

Maybe they try to cover their addiction because they are ashamed of it and say that they do it for fun. Seeing people become beggars or a single person in a thousand beggars win a jackpot is not "fun" in gambling.

i guess most people like me gamble for only 1 reason.
PROFIT
and it's not wrong
haha

Gambling for profit is never wrong. It is the greed that makes us lose our money. In fact, gambling itself is also never wrong. But it is people who tends to overspend what they can afford that hurt the people surrounding them that makes gambling a sin. As long as you know how to control yourself, it is ok to gamble.
profit and fun are always there when it comes in gambling but there is also the time that you will be sad at all when you knew that no money left in your wallet.  Grin so you must know how to discipline yourself. hehe Grin

That's why you shouldn't gamble with all your money because it is not meant for making a profit from it. You should only deposit small % of your savings to have fun and if you're lucky then you can win some money from gambling otherwise just think that you spent that amount for your entertainment.

Agree! Only use money that you can afford to lose because you will eventually will - that is the fact. Although you win some but if you will not stop playing, you will surely going to lose because of the house edge. If you use all of your hard earned money, then it would be very hard and disappointing when you lose them all.

I gamble for the enjoyment and also because its fun to do for a certain period of course.
Gambling is just so nice to do, you are just playing a game and can win money and have fun!

But we cannot expect to win every time, majority of times we will be on loosing side and that makes gambling really risky, its better to gamble with small amount, so even if we loose it won't make any difference to us.
Yes just put a little in gambling. Don't take it too serious, you can just play with your money and having a past time. Don't risk your money in gambling unless you will loose lots of your profit.

Do you gamble for fun or for profit?
Both! because once I play, I play just for fun but when I gain profit well I guess that's good to know that I am gaining profit. Haha! I guess playing gamble is much more safer if you put in your mind that this is just for fun.

for me i would say that i want both. I want gamble for fun while i make profit on the same time. I just remembered last week that i got loan on someone for 0.02 then i gamble it on NBA and tennis then i got lucky.my 0.02 was able to grow up to 0.25 then cashout. It makes me happy on  that event.

Very lucky guy, usually I just do gamble for profit but when the time of losing streak comes to me my reasoning is changing.

I keep tending to say, that I am just gambling for fun because I don't care whether I lose or win as long as I am having fun.

But in reality, that is a butthurt that I do gamble for both reasons.

Mostly for fun, I can't risk BTC if I am not ready to lose it. I usually deposit with the thought of losing it and if I do win it back, then I would just treat it as a complimentary prize.

I think it is a bet safe that currently I gamble responsibly and for entertainment purposes but of course we gamble with the intentions of winning our bets. Also I think it helped solved my gambling addiction before when I started investing to some good reliable casinos. I felt like I am gambling too especially when I am looking at the bets section but this time I am in the house side.  Cheesy Cheesy

You are lucky person who turned 0.02 into 0.25 even got loan to place bet there, so that we can say this is showing sign of addiction, even you are lucky that is really dangerous thing to play with owed money.

Indeed it was to risky for me back then but i just got lucky on that event and i would say that it is not necessary to get addicted on gambling coz i just control it that time and after that I just paid my debt and got shopping with my winnings haha.nice experience for me.

I gamble only for fun. I do purely for entertainment on myself when i feel boring. I don't expect a return of the bet that i gamble. If i lose then i just laugh at it and if i win, i'm thankful for it. Gambling is not intended for profit to people. But most people think it is.
