Topic: Where is the fun when you lose your money? - page 13. (Read 3118 times)

it seems to me that all "secrets" have already been revealed. At the beginning of the journey in gambling, you have to realize that gambling is more about joy and entertainment, and when you lose, you agree that it's just a game, fun, a little adrenaline, a good time with friends. And winning is a pleasant possible bonus, but not mandatory. Enjoy playing.

It's very interesting, most people choose to gamble because they purely want to spend some of their money and time, not to make a profit. Maybe people who think that gambling is just an activity to spend money, such people are usually not interested in gambling. It is true that investment is very suitable for people who focus on making a profit, gambling does not offer that, gambling offers different pleasures and carries the risk of losing money.

They don't show it to the public because they're scared that they will be judged accordingly with their addiction. And that's why even if it's visible that they're addicted, they'd just decline and say that they're fun and will even give advise to the others that they should watch themselves so that they won't be addicted. With that, they only want people to see on how good they are with their attitude but with their gambling addiction, they're shy to show it to anyone. I guess that even their closest friends and relatives is that they don't want to let them know that they're on that state because it's a huge shame on them that they've been known as good people but they've fallen to gambling addiction. Actually, it's a separate thing to be thought of but you know these days, one mistake and all of the goodness and kindness you did to them will be forgotten by just one mistake or by being a gambling addict. I'm pointing out that people shouldn't be addicted to gambling but still there's a balance on it but about you having an alter ego, that's why they don't admit that they're addicted to gambling.

I notice most people that are always chasing loses are always ending up being addicted to gambling, some people started gambling just for fun, but some of them ended up using huge amount to gamble, after losing the money, they will start struggling to win back the money which they lose, when trying to win back their loss, they will keep on losing more money, they will get to a level that they will find it difficult to stop gambling, they are already addicted to gambling.

Some gamblers will tell you they are gambling responsibly, they will make you believe they can control themselves, they can stop gambling at any time which they want, but if you notice people like that, you will see that they are already addicted to gambling, and they can’t control themselves just as they say.

To me the moment before the result is nothing close to fun but anxiousness and uncertainty. There’s no way to tell what the result is going to be so there’s pressure from that unknown. And imagine how much pressure it is if you staked a huge amount of money; you can’t focus your mind on anything cause you’re worrying that you could lose it.

I would counter this question with another to provoke some thought...  Where is the fun in life when you die at the end?  See?  Sometimes it isn't about the outcome, but the experience.  It's about the ride, as they say.  If you don't enjoy gambling when you lose, then you should probably look into investing instead of gambling, because apparently that's what you think you're doing.  Investing is great.  You get payouts and your stocks never disappear.  I'd say if you're in it to make money, try a brokerage instead of a casino.  You might like the outcome better.

The level of pleasure in gambling can be seen when we place a bet and wait for the result of the bet, but once we know the result of the bet it will make us feel unhappy, especially if we lose.
Arranging risk management will be much more difficult when the gambling we do is so addictive, gambling will be made more enjoyable when we can manage a budget and not spend a lot of money just on one bet.
When we spend a lot of money on gambling, we will actually experience frustration because the more money we spend, the greater the risk we will take.

For fun I used to play football, cricket, volleyball, badminton and other games and also for fun on mobile I used to play pubg, call of duty and several other video games which I used to enjoy a lot. I didn't need money to play these games that I mentioned and I didn't have to risk my money to play such games but I can easily play these games through my wifi and I had enough fun. Since these games are for fun as well as many other games why would I risk my money for fun instead of having fun like this. If having fun is our main concern then of course we can play the games I mentioned for fun. We gamble with money risk means that our main objective is to make money by gambling and the secondary objective may be to have fun while gambling. From all my gambling experience, I can tell you that losing is never fun.

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.
