What do you think has changed about gambling itself? It's our situations and the times that keep changing but that doesn't really change the purpose of gambling, and it totally depends on one's own mindset regarding gambling and whether it will be fun for them or not. If you have always seen gambling as a way to earn money and profits, you can never get entertained by it because your mind and eyes will always just be looking for big wins.

But, if you have never thought of gambling as a way to earn money and you already have money and you just need some entertainment and just want to play some games and have some fun, then you will not find gambling not fun anymore because it is still the same thing if your mindset hasn't changed.

It's totally about ones mindset, and this mindset can put people in trouble, it's a mindset when you believe that you can make a living with gambling, it's a mindset when you believe that you can earn weekly income with gambling, it's a mindset when you believe that you can turn into a millionaire with gambling, imagine getting punished by your own mindset and believe.

We need to be careful with the mindset we create on things or what we choose to believe in, what we choose to believe in can take our rise to our fall, gambling isn't something anyone should have a belief in, or try to create some kind of mindset around.

I'd rather create a mindset on money making through investments and goals than luck, it's fun to place bets on football games because I am a supporter of a favorite club and that's it, maybe we will win or lose, No one knows, it's better to keep it like this, because no one knows.

It is entertaining, when you deposit say $100 and you can play for say an hour ....but lately $100 will not last you 10 or 20 minutes, because it is just one long losing streak. Roll Eyes

Well, just burned +$80 on slots... I played less than 20 minutes, a few bonus rounds paid x10 max, and some big wins were higher than what I won from bonus rounds. But those long-losing streaks simply melted my amount... I stopped playing slots and I placed some sports bets with a few dollars left. Maybe I will have more luck with goals today.

It's entertaining as long as we play with money we can afford to lose... I like to play slots, but I know how cruel slots can be (and some other lucky-based games), so even though I hope to hit something big I am aware that I can easily bust my amount in minutes, literally. Especially if I get into "buying bonuses" mode!

Yes I agree with you. At the point where we have a lot of emotions from losing and don't enjoy the game anymore, it is better to stop gambling than to lose more money. In my opinion we need to control our emotions, if gambling is done with emotion and anger it is just a waste of money, and it is not fun that we get but stress because we lose lot of money on gambling sites. Better stop and you will get better

Becoming emotional because of losing in gambling will be there. But with self-control, I think we can reduce emotional behavior and not waste excessively by gambling. We will always be careful about spending money on gambling and can stop before losing a lot of money because it can make someone stressed. When they have good self-control, they don't need to worry about the temptations they will encounter and can enjoy gambling because they will treat gambling as entertainment. When they feel that the fun has stopped, it is time for them to leave the casino and move on to something else so they don't think about gambling anymore.

Online gambling platforms exists not only to get you some lucky wins, it's also another form of entertainment, but I will like to ask if truly you people are getting that entertainment from gambling?

We can see what the world is becoming now, things are getting harder and what's on peoples mind is how to make even more money, there is no time, there are too many responsibilities, are you sure you getting entertained?

Fun can not be separated from gambling no matter the outcome of your bet. Either you lose your game or you win, you're entertain in either way. The difference is that the entertainment is not always view in the same angle when your gamble goes opposite. It is just that sometimes when we lose bet, we overlooked the entertainment aspect of gambling and be thinking over the money we lose but it's undeniable that entertainment is not completely there but we care less about it when the money is gone.

The comparison of influential gamblers and the average gamblers is not worth because the former have enough money to not worry about the one they gamble with while the latter have less and that's why they feel lost when they lose the money but it doesn't mean the entertainment is not more, just that for them the entertainment is mixed with agony and of course the agony overshadow the entertainment.

That is if someone gambles with the aim of having fun so they don't care about the end result the most important thing is to play and have fun even though they might lose some money and this will be very different when someone gambles with the aim of making money or making gambling a second place to look for a clear source of income will regret and feel very angry when they lose.
Remember that everything depends on our perspective and goals in entering gambling.

I don't know what you mean by influential gamblers because in my opinion all gamblers are the same and the only difference is the financial system or how to manage finances in gambling.
You have a lot of money and gamble to get some profit, then whatever money you have will definitely run out without any left and you won't get the slightest satisfaction from what you do but when you have limited money and think about how to have fun then luck could come and double your money even when the money is lost you still feel satisfied and very happy because you can play several game sessions.

I had some good fun when I started gambling at Stake.com a few years ago, because they had a pretty good RTP and I regularly won small enough jackpots to fund my entertainment. Since they signed multi Million Dollar deals with paid streamers and Soccer clubs and UFC fighters and celebrities like Drake.... the RTP has changed a lot and players are winning much less.

It is not fun, when you deposit $1000 and you sit in front of your computer and you watch it going down the drain. Yes, you still win very small amounts, but nothing as huge as you used to win.

It is entertaining, when you deposit say $100 and you can play for say an hour ....but lately $100 will not last you 10 or 20 minutes, because it is just one long losing streak. Roll Eyes

For me it's not just fun but more of an excitement. I feel that even if I bet $10, it doesn't have to be a lot and I get this tingling sensation, the adrenaline rush when the event is coming to an end and I've bet on the winning team. I don't need to win a lot of money, it's the waiting for the result and getting the euphoria of winning, being right that gets the thing done. Sometimes I bet against the fighters or teams that I like so that I feel happy regardless of the outcome. If my team wins, I'm happy for them, if they lose, I get the consolidation prize in the form of money.

The feeling is very different while watching the sports that you've bet on you have the thrill and nervousness of watching the game live compared to not having a bet on it. I am not also after big wins as I am a small sportsbettor and I only bet whenever I want because I feel the tension over the game even if I am just watching on my TV. We are just after the fun and not for the profit we are gaining but still we are happy if we win some money but it is not about winning the money it is about the fun we experience.

When I'm in a good mood, I usually enjoy the game and play casually, only playing with small bet. However, if the losses continue to occur, sometimes I get emotional and start increasing the bet. Actually in this situation I no longer enjoy the game, I am motivated to return my lost money

Gambling can indeed be entertaining, especially if you are already wealthy and you can afford to lose a large amount of money. For a large percentage of gamblers, perhaps even a majority, their purpose for gambling is because they dream of getting that big win that can make their life easier. If you are no longer getting any entertainment value then it is worth considering quitting to prevent this from becoming a destructive habit. At the very least you should step back and analyze the best way to allocate your resources.

One of the reasons why we play gambling is the desire to get not only results but also emotions. And emotions. And emotions are chemistry - dopamine and serotonin. And nature is so arranged that if we constantly get good emotions from one hobby, then we need more and more to experience the same measure of fun.
Therefore, for many gamblers, the fun very quickly flows into an automatic process with attempts to get only the result.

Therefore, it is necessary to observe two rules - to play knowing the measure, and not uncontrollably. And also try new games from time to time - variety gives new emotions.

Yes, it make someone happy whenever you have the money to gamble at your satisfaction and you have some profits that you will take home to enjoy yourself for the day. Online gambling has helped many gamblers to overcome the hardship in their various countries because they have made a huge amount of money from their prediction that can help them to get whatever they want just to feel good or live a happy life which is the wish of every gamblers in the community. Even when you lose at the moment, you will still like to gamble another day just to recover from what you have loss in the past without be addicted to gambling.

Depending on the circumstances, some say that gambling is entertainment, a source of income, or a path to their wealth. However, for most people, gambling is entertainment where they can play and escape their busy lives for a moment. Especially in casinos, there people can not only play but also interact with their friends or other people. So it depends on the player whether they consider gambling as entertainment or their job, but most people would agree that gambling is entertainment for them even though most people might end up losing.

In my case I do because I only gamble occasionally, with money I can afford to lose and I don't put false hopes on it (like expecting my life to change because of jackpots).

The problem is that many of the stories we see on the forum do start from having false hopes in gambling, and end up worse than they started. The preoccupation with making money, instead of entertainment, leads them to lose money, sometimes a lot of money and sometimes even borrowed one. There is nothing fun or entertaining about it, it becomes a drama.

Agreed. Some people view gambling as a serious endeavor, one that should yield financial gains. Others see it as a trivial, light-hearted activity meant to fill idle moments with laughter among friends.

Indeed, gambling heavily depends on an individual's financial situation. Those with passive income and a strong work ethic are typically unwilling to spend significant sums on gambling. They tend to allocate a modest amount for playing with friends and having fun.

In contrast, individuals with less financial stability may not fully comprehend the risks of gambling or may not fully understand the workings of gambling platforms. They often harbor a misplaced confidence that gambling will bring them wealth.

I'm not particularly fond of those who try to achieve success through gambling. They tend to endure numerous losses and continually chase elusive big wins.

Since decades ago, people have always had some problem in their lives, which is why they try to do other activities that allow them to forget their problems, even if only for a short period of time, but we have to see that the biggest problem that people have Currently, it is always related to money that is not enough to pay the bills. So when a person takes $50 and goes to the beach with friends and spends all the money, even though the next day he is sad, regretting having spent money that was supposed to pay bills and going to the beach with friends, after a few days he I forgot about that

but when people take money, for example they take 50$ and play in a casino and lose everything in the casino, then the next day the person is sad and regretful but you will spend many days thinking that if you were luckier you would have won, if you had more money would have won and after spending days with this thought the person will put money back into the casino and will lose again and the cycle begins of the person chasing money they lost. This person will start playing to recover everything they lost and will lose everything. That's why it's very important that people are very careful when they play and think about why they're playing

In my opinion there is a fundamental difference between the two. Hanging out and enjoying something around us with $50 has satisfaction when using it. Therefore, we will easily forget it, because we got something as a return.
Someone who uses $50 will find it very difficult to forget because they don't just think "this is for entertainment to forget the problems in life". But, when he saw that other people were able to win, he felt differently and started to think to try again, until finally he became addicted. That is the reason why people forget their original goal of fun and entertainment, becoming addicted to betting and gambling. When he get any return, he want more, but if they not get any return, he will play again for win a return.That's what makes it difficult for someone to control themselves. Because the returns cannot be in line with the initial target. That's why most (including me) fall into things like this.

The derivation of entertainment or fun in whatever word you may call it from gambling is akin to the elite class of gamblers. The class a gambler founds himself in society is a determinant of what hey look forward to get from gambling.

The poor will argue that fun in gambling will not put food on his table, and there's wisdom in that, because in his scale of preference entertainment is not even in the least, counting the responsibility he bears.

So the choice of what people want from gambling has so much to do with their social class in society. For some it's the money, to another it's entertainment while the other may be going for both entertainment and the money.

Yes. Imo the only reason people tend to remove entertainment from gambling si when they try to actively earn money from it. Earning money is yes, the goal of gambling, but it isn't the end imo, it's just the means. If you get it nice, you get to spend more money somewhere else, if not then it's fine as well. The idea is it's kind of dumb to even think about how you would consider money that wasn't yours in the first place to be money lost.

Additionally, if I had money issues, I wouldn't be gambling in the first place. Gambling, just like most other stuff that can entertain you, needs money to be able to do its job properly. If you don't have one, then just don't do it. Easier said than done though I suppose.

I believe that most people end up messing themselves up with gambling because to them everything is money, money, money, and this can stop your brain from becoming a responsible gambler, the sense of protecting yourself from gambling addiction can get lost if you are already not having fun with gambling anymore.

That is what I'm currently doing right now. I've been exposed to gambling since I was an addict and there are games that are used to be fun and now it's quite boring even I know how to play the game and I can possibly earn money in that game. I only play occasionally nowadays and most of my gambling sessions are for past time and fun purposes only, not for the sake of money anymore. I can control my spending even I only play sometimes because I have a allocated budget for it. If you are not having fun, take a break and slow down your gambling activities. Learn new hobbies or interest, there's a chance that you can completely stop from doing gambling.

While it's surprising to see someone like you shift from addiction to occasional fun, I must give credit where it's due. So, clap, clap. Yes, games lose their appeal, but remember: the house always wins. You might want to pat yourself on the back for having a budget now, but let's be real, even occasional gambling can slip back into addiction. Ditch the games and find better hobbies. After all, wouldn't you prefer a hobby that's actually, I don't know, enriching? Roll Eyes
