Topic: Where is the fun when you lose your money? - page 12. (Read 2599 times)

When one is defeated in gambling and they feel sad about it, well such people don't understand what gambling is all about, if truly people understand gambling there will be no emotions or reactions when they gamble, its a way to cheat a system without working, and money isn't Meant to be made this easily, you should have seen the whole picture already.

Automatically you meant to lose when gambling, because of the way you plan yto make money, its not a fair way, rolling some buttons and hoping to turn into a millionaire, just like that? Its obvious that it won't be easy....

To avoid disrupting my mental health is why I choose to risk a figure in gambling, if you are worth six figures and all you risk is a figure, you can never be broke because of gambling, you can never be sad because of gambling, you can never lose your self-control because of gambling, all it takes is just one discipline, that is keep using what you can afford to lose.

I personally use money for my gambling budget, so it doesn't matter if I win or lose. Of course it would be very nice if you got more wins than losses. But I don't like to rely on small probabilities. Most gamblers definitely have more losses than wins. And if you don't use money for your daily needs I don't think it will be a problem. You're right that it's no fun if you lose your money. But if you think of gambling as entertainment, like buying tickets to Disneyland, or subscribing to Netflix and watching your favorite movies, isn't that the same thing? I personally think that I exchange my money for experience and fun, and I am not a gambling addict and do not make money by gambling.

Of course, if we win then we will be happy and if we lose then we will feel sad and regretful and this is definitely felt by all gamblers.
If there is a gambler who loses and feels happy, what is clear is that he must be asked whether he is really happy because maybe he still has spare money so that when he loses one or two rounds he still looks normal, but if in the next round he still loses, I am sure he will not be happy or even regret it.

Yes, I think everyone here will have the same opinion as you. The pleasure will be obtained if we have win the game and got the money, if we lose, whatever that is will never cause the pleasure, maybe even he use toy money or play money when gambling, still if we lose there is a feeling of discomfort we got while playing the game. So I think, no one is happy when they lose except a maniac or crazy person.

Even myself wont really be that believing into those words  that people do gamble for fun.There might be those individuals who really are but most of the time people would really be aiming for making money on which its the most common target or aim for most gamblers on which i could say that it is really just that normal. When losing up money then its never been fun and never been that giving that good mood. We dont like on losing money and no one really does on losing it no matter how small it would be. It would really be creating that kind of feeling on which you would really be having that kind of impression that you should really be that chasing up those loses until you would be able to breakeven. One of the main reasons on why gambling business is really that profitable due into this kind of behavior of most gamblers or having that kind of treatment towards it.

Concluding it that way might lead to just gambling for fun and losing is normal. Personally I find it not challenging at all, I want to take a risk for higher reward, so if I gamble that means I trust my skills to generate profit for me. Gambling is for entetainment to some but what will you do if you have skills, mind you, gambling is divided into skilled based and luck based, you're talking about luck based? or just generalize gambling that it's purely based on luck?

Why not? Gambling is only for fun and not to make money. If people gamble with the money they can afford and lose, they shouldn't feel sad because they already know that's the risk of gambling.

After all, gambling does take money so people can see how much they can use to gamble. It's not comfortable if we lose money from gambling, but that's what we have to face and we have to be ready. If you don't want to lose money, don't gamble.

After all the activities, someone with free time in the evening can gamble for a while. But he must set a limit on how long he can gamble and how much money he uses. After everything was over, he should immediately stop gambling and leave the casino to rest. That way, he won't think about his losses because he already knows that's the risk of gambling.

It's not that it's fun but it also has an emotional component. What many people like about gambling is the swing of emotions. If you've been losing and suddenly you win a jackpot, the excitement is even greater.


I think what you fail to see is that precisely what makes it fun is that there is money at stake. Try playing roulette without real money and you'll see how boring it is.

I always stand against the saying that a gambler only gambles for fun. I think this is never right because if the gambler was gambling for fun he would not bet money but would be doing something else. I bet money where I can lose money in an instant how am I going to be happy if I lose money or how fun is it for me. We don't enjoy losing anything but always enjoy winning then again if that defeat cost us nothing then we have nothing to enjoy. I think some people should get out of this wrong thinking because gamblers never gamble for fun but gamble to make a profit.

Before you gamble, you have to put it at the back of your mind that you will lose or win and the fun always come when your win and when you lose you won't have any fun. Until you are playing a game that you do not use funds to play and probably it is a free trial games. So with that when you lose it won't pain you again. But if you loss your money in the process of gambling then it would definitely pain you. Op even your budget is bigger than your loses, you still need to use wisdom to play the gamble because if you didn't then you end up losing all to gambling and this statement you are making will be a past test for you.
In any idea not everyone will accept your opinion so if you know you are correct then you have to move the correct answer and leave the oppositions.

Setting personal limitations is actually ensuring the activity remains enjoyable and does not lead to financial or emotional harm. Casinos wants their costumers to feel the time stands still by not having clocks and windows. They hope gamblers to lose track of time and continue playing for extended periods. Gamblers need themself to establish boundaries such as limiting the amount of money spent, setting a time limit for playing, and restricting the number of games played. That's how gamblers can exercise greater control over their gambling activities and prevent excessive losses.

Every gambler has to recognize the seductive nature of gambling environments, both in physical casinos and online platforms. Being aware of own triggers and vulnerabilities and implementing strategies can mitigate risks. Establishing clear rules and boundaries for gambling activities can make gamblers enjoy the entertainment value of gambling without succumbing to its potential negative consequences.

I think we are talking about the adverse effects experienced by gamblers who have entered the addiction phase where they are desperate to end their lives because they cannot face the enormous pressure from the impact of gambling that they do, and obviously these are gamblers who come with the intention and purpose of earning while gambling is nothing more than a probability activity that only provides "possibilities" and not certainties so it is only natural that over time they experience more severe effects that make them stressed or depressed because they cannot face significant pressure from various problems that arise.

That's right, however, the recommended gambling is when you are able to control everything according to what is recommended from a rational and healthy point of view, and you will be able to have such an approach when you have a correct and proper understanding of gambling such as how winning works which is mostly always dependent on luck, And if you are already in a situation of addiction but in your little heart you want to get out of the zone then you are not too late, you can still change and improve it in a direction that is more advisable for your good in the long run as long as you really have a strong determination and sincerity.

This is what causes many people to end their lives because they think they have lost all the money they have and are depressed because they cannot pay their debts. At least when you want to place a bet you must pay attention to the risks and you must be able to control your emotions well so that nothing bad happens to you. ourselves, when the money used for betting has run out, you have to stop, wait until you get more money and don't force it.

Indeed. When we don't too focus on winning or losing, we may enjoy the gambling games. The focus on enjoying the process, we feel how to play with nice experiences in the game. If we can do this, surely we may have an entertainment from the games. But if winning or losing is the main focus, we will never feel the entertainment. How to feel happy if we think so much the losses? 

Of course. That's why we must make our own limitation. We can limit the funds, limit the time for playing gambling, and limit the number of games to play if it is possible. Every gambler must understand that the gambling site will make us to feel very comfortable. In this way, we will spend money limitless because we feel too comfortable in playing the games. Because of this, we must have own rule, we must stop temporarily at a certain condition.

it's true at some point that losing in gambling can cause negative emotions and affect the level of fun experienced, But it's always important to remember that gambling should primarily be seen as a form of entertainment, not a consistent source of income or happiness.

The reality is that the house always has an edge, which means that over time, most gamblers will lose more than they win. So every gambler should always have this in mind and don't expect to win all the time, in fact, when you stake a bet, you should consider the chances of winning that bet to be 20% and the chances of losing to be 80%, so that when the bet is lost, you won't feel too disappointed because you expected and anticipated the loss, that way it won't have that much of a negative impact on your emotions.

Again, gambling must be done responsibly. Setting time and money restrictions, as well as viewing gambling as a kind of pleasure with accompanying expenses, allows you to have a healthy perspective and enjoy the experience regardless of the outcome.

Gamblers should remember to focus on the experience rather than the outcome.  Instead than focusing entirely on winning or losing, enjoy the excitement of taking measured risks, testing new techniques, and engaging in friendly competition.

Isn't the original essence of gambling is to risk money in order to have a chance of winning a bigger amount?  It is the main essence of gambling, IMHO, until the industry make it an entertainment factor to lure more people into gambling activity.  It is also stated on this article: https://ethics.org.au/there-are-ethical-ways-to-live-with-the-thrill-of-gambling

This depends on what type of gambling one is playing.  Any gambling games that have something to do with random results should not be taken as source of income, while gambling that requires skills, analysis, and information or data gathering can possibly be made as source of income since the player's knowledge enables him to increase his chance of winning.

I agree with your opinion. When it comes to gambling, the intentions of the gambler can go a long way in influencing the experience and outcomes for the gambler. This intention will determine how the gambler will perceive wins and losses. Gamblers who approach gambling intending to make money often tend to place larger bets, sometimes exceeding their financial limits. The desire for profit drives most of these gamblers into taking uncalculated risks, leading to potential financial and emotional distress when losses occur. When profit-oriented gamblers experience losses, it can have a profound impact on their mental well-being and financial stability. The disappointment and frustration stemming from losing can lead to negative emotions and financial strain.

In contrast, those gamblers who see gambling as a form of entertainment typically amount they can forego. For such gamblers, losses are accepted as part of the entertainment experience, and they do not face the same level of distress compared to profit-driven gamblers.  These gamblers can easily view losses as part of the overall entertainment value.

The fun will be at zero level when you are at lose, this is what makes alot of gambler's to end up having so much mood swings when the results of the bet move against they predictions, most gamblers tend to lose their motivations and joy when the lose a bet, and also when they win they are always happy, this is the reality with gambling, alot of time, we tend to experience the real fun in gambling when we win our bets, and often than none we have recorded more loses than the winnings which then mean that, we are having less fun when we gamble excesiveley since we gamble and lose more because of the house edge.

When you watch a team you're rooting for, when you play a game that is so crucial you're quaking in your boots with anticipation and excitement from the adrenaline rush hoping your skill, and your nerves are enough to get you through the thick of it. That's when you have fun while gambling and losing, I mean at least for me personally.

I couldn't lie, frustration is there when I lose bets and gambles, but the nerves that I get from playing (and must I say, I only play a max of 5 games every time I gamble so don't call me out for being a gambling addict lol) is enough for me to get through it with no regrets or even remnants of looking to regain the losses I incurred. I live for the present, and that includes when I gamble. I think people should take a page out of my book. Make it so your games are hyped even if you're not really betting that much or for a lot. Trick yourself into thinking that every bet you make is high stakes, as not everyone of us here could make as high a bet as I could. When you do that, all your games are gonna be enjoyable even when you don't win them. Oh, and one more thing, don't make it a habit to gamble everyday, schedule your gamble as scarcely as you can.

Truly their is always a repercussion when one is hell bent on chasing loses. This is what leads to addiction. Chasing of loses is very detrimental to gambling lifestyle as a whole. If one decides to allow emotion becloud them, addiction is inevitable  as it is that emotion is in play.
That is why gamblers are advised to gamble responsibly and with what they could afford to lose.
