Topic: Where is the fun when you lose your money? - page 11. (Read 2599 times)

Gambling is fun until your gambling session ends for the reason that you have lost all your money. In gambling, losing is as legitimate as winning, so gambling allows you to have fun as well as frustration. If you follow risk management and do not spend a lot of money on gambling, the frustrations quickly pass, and winnings, even small can bring so much emotion that the gambler forgets all the past losses.

True, I think this has become a fact that most gamblers come to earn especially people who have problems in their finances which in the end they try to make gambling an alternative place to overcome their financial problems such as viewing gambling as a quick way to make ends meet and usually I see this kind of goal and mindset more owned by poor people. But the fact is as we know that gambling is not a place to earn, I understand that the chances of winning are for everyone which means whoever they are they have the opportunity to get a win, but what we have to understand is that gambling is something that cannot be predicted because everything always runs randomly to determine whether you win or lose.

Or simply you will never know whether you will win or lose in the session, while on the other hand the possibility of losing is always a sure thing and in the end the act or purpose of gambling to earn will cause a lot of problems, or simply instead of earning but what happens is that you lose money consistently due to an excessive or aggressive approach to gambling with the encouragement of the goal of earning. However, gambling is more recommended to be made as a place of entertainment because the uncertainty about the problem of getting a win is always a big reason why we should not make it a means of earning and if you still carry the mindset of gambling to earn then in the end it will only make you stuck in the cycle of chasing wins to recover the situation and there is no time limit set.

It is true that there is no fun in losing the money that you worked hard for. But I think the fun is when we are predicting the outcomes and the ups and downs of emotions when gambling. For example, in the casino, when you are gambling, there are times that you are on the roll, and those kinds of moments give us the happiness to gamble more, and with that, we keep on gambling. Whether you win or you lose, you will have this feeling that you are wanting more, so I think that is the fun of gambling.

Another example is sports betting, where betting on your favorite team is much more exciting than just watching their game and wanting them to win. If you bet on your favorite team, it will give you more emotions than just watching them. So I think that is the reason why some gamblers say that gambling is fun; it really depends on how you perceive gambling.

In that case they will not find any fulfillment on each result they get since once they starting to lose for sure that these people will freak out and get stressed to much on those possible big losses they might get. That's why this people would not find any fun on gambling since they lose their hard earned money for something that they don't like to happen. But if we are not aiming something like huge profit to get nor earn a living on gambling maybe it might change something and we have some chance that we would get some fun playing even if we lose since we are not over thinking to much on gaining wins and earn passive profit for this activity and we are fine on what result shown since what we use is the money that we can afford to lose.

First of all, gambling is not our main activity, so after placing a bet we are free to leave the casino and let the bet we placed work whether it is a profit or a loss because I think if we only focus on gambling, our time is wasted, it is only for those who don't have other activities, so you can spend a lot of time at the casino. Second, because we gamble on online gambling, there is nothing to worry about at any time, you can check the bets while you have free time.

The fun here is to consider that gambling is not the only source of income, you are betting an amount you are prepared to lose. Not risking everything. The assumption regarding gambling as a means of entertainment provides a little limitation so that you don't gamble excessively.

Some gamblers are betting and gambling because they needed money to earn a living, which they may not get this fulfilment through gambling because it's an entertainment medium and not an investment means, we need to look in for job if we n=think we cant afford to have losses in gambling and not to even start wasting much of our time while trying to chase after loss because we may not have that privilege for recovery, instead the losses keep compounding the more while trying to recover from them.

Personally I've only been gambling because of fun.

Of course that fun means the possibility to make more money.

But the moment that I realized the probabilities to make that money, I quickly just treated it as a rare thing to do because it felt a bit like losing money on purpose.

Still fun though.

I think there are not many people who gamble just for fun. Maybe at first they were still in that phase, but when they lose and they feel they are able to catch up with that loss, then it will make gambling no longer fun. I think the majority of gamblers will not accept losing. The more they cannot control their emotions, the worse they will experience adversity. Defeat after defeat will make them despair, and that will further strengthen their desire to chase their losses by continuing to bet until there is nothing left to bet on.

Yes, that's true, many people respond wrongly to gambling, with those who experience huge losses because they gamble too much and it is caused by them themselves because of their wrong response to gambling. where they think gambling is a means that can make money by just pressing a button. There is indeed a chance to win, but this victory cannot be achieved if luck is not on their side, and perhaps they are not aware that the advantage the host has is very large compared to us ordinary players.

Indeed, there is also some gambling that requires skill, but I think that also cannot ensure that we can win easily, it only increases the chance of winning but doesn't change the luck portion. I don't think we can win even though we have good skills if luck is not on our side, if we are lucky then we can win by random means.

A very good analogy, the point that I can conclude from what you said above is not to assume that losing money in gambling is a loss, it all happens by our own decision from the beginning, just like buying something for the needs of life whether it's eating or buying clothes or something else, as you said that we never complain even though we buy it even many times but we are still hungry which in the end requires us to buy it again.

We go back to the original understanding of gambling which is that this is an activity that does involve risk, or I mean the possibility of losing will always lurk as long as you are still doing it, and I think we should have understood this from the beginning. So the concept of gambling for entertainment is when you are able to think that it is not a loss or loss but something that you have spent or spent to pay for a game that you have played there, with this mindset then I think it is less likely that you take actions out of control such as chasing victory to recover the situation which is a fact that it is just a waste of time and increases the amount of loss, and yes a mindset like the analogy you conveyed above is more recommended.

Focus on different idea. Losing money in gambling = spending money. Now imagine that buying food = spending money. Why then people dont complain that they spend money on food, if they get hungry later? My point is "losing = spending". Why people dont complain about the result when they spend money? Eating was just an example. We also get different emotions when we eat. If we convert it to the idea that is described in the topic then if would sound like "why would we spend more money on more tasty or expensive food, when in the end we still get hungry?".

In the world of gambling, losing money is no longer commonplace. Because of course many gamblers lose their money because they lose when gambling. And of course losing money is very unpleasant. However, regarding the pleasure of gambling, you need to know that the pleasure of gambling does not only lie in matters of profit and loss. But there are many reasons why many people enjoy gambling so much. One of them

• Can gather with friends at gambling places (if offline).
• enjoy the games, like playing cards or spinning the reels.
• And if make a profit, money can double.

So by looking at these points, there is nothing wrong with saying that gambling is entertainment or fun. Then if we talk about wasted time and money wasted when gambling (if you lose) . I don't think this can be generalized to all existing gamblers. Because you need to know that every gambler has different habits. Maybe there are gamblers who continue to gamble every day and cannot manage their finances. However, in my personal opinion, there are definitely more gamblers who know their time and can manage their finances well.

Because you need to know that very experienced gamblers have certain times for gambling. Like on weekends, or during work holidays. So basically, have a very regular time. Then regarding the money or capital used for gambling, of course the money used is cold money. So, an experienced gambler definitely has some money to gamble with and of course has cold cash. So even if you lose, the disappointment won't be too big. Because all experienced gamblers already know all the risks. Plus the money used in gambling is cold money. So for that reason, playing gambling can be called fun or entertainment.

Gambling games are created to have fun and not to make money. But people then assume they can make money, especially in gambling games that require skill. If you trust your skills more, that's okay, but you shouldn't get too involved in gambling.

If you have skills, you should still treat gambling as entertainment, no matter how good your skills are. You must remember that you are not the only one with good skills. There are more people out there who have better skills. If that's the case, will you still try to pursue victory?

For me, gambling has something to do with luck. I'm not saying it was pure luck but there is a connection. Even if you have good skills, but you are not lucky, can you win against other people who have better skills than you?

Yes, that's how it should be, where a gambler must be able to think rationally and be able to understand correctly what is meant by gambling. However, if we talk about it as a whole, there are quite a few gamblers who initially gambled for fun, but after getting several wins from their gambling activities, slowly the perception that gambling is entertainment and is played for fun, slowly this perception begins to change. , and various other things regarding gambling, such as making gambling an opportunity to gain instant wealth or simply multiply the wealth one has.
"The final results of gambling cannot be expected, but quite a few people place their hopes on the gambling they do.


I agree with that, but of course this is not something that is easy enough for us to do. However, to protect ourselves from various negative impacts resulting from irresponsible gambling, we must continue to try to manage gambling activities as best as possible. And by being able to limit ourselves from gambling activities, and having good self-discipline, of course this will help us to make ourselves responsible gamblers.

This whole gambling for fun thing... there's a disconnect, right? We pretend it's a joke, but everyone wants in. Once money croses hands, enjoy comes second. Hard truth: it's about winning and cash. Losing? Nobody likes that. However, losing and urgently striving to recover is what keeps casinos going. Not just games, but textbook human psychology. Wired to fall for this trap. A fun gamble? The concept is deceptive. You can spend money for excitement and socializing. You're in danger when you're focused on winning. As it is, the home is ahead. If you want it to be fun, leave when it's not. Sounds easy, but it's hard

This may be more precisely felt by gamblers whose goal in gambling is to seek victory or profit. because in this way they will not be able to accept the defeat that will clearly occur with the gambling they are doing, and it is true that this is a wrong assumption. because as you said, if they really understand real gambling, then when the gambling they do ends up losing, they won't mind it because they clearly know that this is something that definitely happens in gambling, in other words, they really understand what gambling is.
The provisions made by the host are clear that they are also looking for profit, it is true what you said, to win at gambling is not easy, it is not like just turning the palm of your hand. Luck may have a big role in gambling to determine whether you win or not. That's why it's important that we have to be prepared for the money that is at stake, the money allocated for gambling must be calculated or calculated and ready to be lost, and we must be able to respond to it correctly, instead of responding to it incorrectly, it will only bring greater losses because of the emergence of emotions. I agree with you, discipline in gambling is one of the keys to avoiding big losses. or other things that trigger gambling to become uncontrolled.

Your point makes sense only if gamblers are using the same amount they use to buy ticket on gamble, then it won't matter if they lose it all.

Let's not forget that even a single drop of water makes a might ocean, as cheap as a ticket can be, if you keep going to cinema everyday to watch movies you will end up spending much on tickets.

Cinemas are great if you visit once in a while or maybe on weekends, if people can also gamble in such a way then it will make sense, but if they do it all the time it will become an addiction, and they must have lost significant amount of money because they are doing it gradually.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I'm sure it's a good idea and I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not, but I'm sure it's a good idea and I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not, but I'm sure it's a good idea and I'm sure it's a good idea and I'm sure it's a good idea, but on the other hand as I said above that I quite agree with you that all of this still depends on how an individual addresses gambling itself which when we have a goal to earn or to change the fate in life then obviously losing is a very disappointing result which most of these typical gamblers find it difficult to accept that fact And what they don't know is that yes as you said that actually losing in gambling is a natural thing but the inability to accept defeat due to the goal of earning instead makes them chase defeat to restore something that has been lost when in fact it is still no matter how good the strategy you have it is still in the end the possibility of defeat will still occur.

Yes after all gambling is always about risk-taking activities which means that not only the chances of winning but the possibility of losing will also always be attached and on the other hand it is clear in my opinion that gamblers who can enjoy gambling activities despite the possibility of losing are those who come with the intention and purpose of seeking entertainment when they are bored and if you are a gambler who comes to earn then obviously I am sure that the gambling activities you do will be full of pressure.

Less money, more fun.

If this isn't your goal in gambling you will learn later.

Gambling is not here for you to make income every day, gambling doesn't exist to fulfill your destiny in life, gambling exists to give hope to the hopeless but not in a very fair way.

You are to lose a lot of money and only get lucky maybe a few times, and how much you will win in those few times can't be predicted.

Have a budget.
Stick to that budget.
Go to work all day and live a responsible life.
If you get lucky and win some money, it's all good, and if you don't, nothing spoil.
Gambling will only mess you up if you risk more than you can afford to lose.
The smaller the amount is, the better you will feel if you lose it.

Why people think that losing in gambling means losing money, but not spending them, or buying emotions? Why people think that placing a bet does not equal to making a purchase? For example when we go to comedy show and buy a ticket, you also get fun from that. Same positive emotion when you place a bet and win. Or we could get a same negative emotion when did not like a joke or the show was boring. Or when we go to a movie and we dont like it, we did not say that "where is fun when we buy ticket and dont like movie?" and stop visiting cinemas.
