Topic: Where is the fun when you lose your money? - page 15. (Read 3118 times)

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.

Well that's the main point that is the reason why gambling cannot be used as a place to earn income, because one of them is as you said above that there is absolutely no guarantee for anyone to win at the end of the session which makes the idea of making money in gambling absurd. As we know that gambling is an activity that involves risk so of course it is very dangerous when you bring the intention of earning in a place that has absolutely no certainty whatsoever, and the problem is that there is a possibility of risk that will continue to lurk you in every session.

Usually like some cases that have happened a lot that the idea of gambling with the aim to earn is actually a trigger for many problems that will bring and plunge you into adversity, one of the reasons is because I believe that when someone comes with the aim to earn then obviously when they experience defeat then usually they are not able to accept the fact of defeat which in the end emotions will dominate and will lead them to many actions out of control and obviously this scenario will usually make them end up with a lot of defeat and regret, and of course it is true as you say that it is better to gamble in moderation with the amount of budget that we can afford to lose, it is better.

No gambler feels happy when the end of the game only shows defeat. especially if the individual bets a large enough amount, which of course will be a loss that he will regret very much. Basically, a person can feel happy when he can feel satisfied with something he gets, and talking about the pleasure of a gambler, he will only feel happy That's when he was able to get quite a big win from a number of bets he placed. and as for people who say that they gamble just for entertainment and pleasure, for me that is just an alibi behind their bad behavior in gambling. because in reality it is quite difficult for someone to receive the final results from the bet or gambling they do. Because feelings of disappointment and regret continue to follow him from behind.

Therefore, it is quite important to be able to think rationally about gambling, by not having too much hope for the final result of a gamble or bet, and only betting on an amount of money that we are ready to lose, of course this can help us to always be able to accept the final result of gambling, and minimizing feelings of disappointment and regret.

generally, loosing money isn't fun and except you're being an hypocritical gambler you wouldn't consider  anything fun out of a lost money but that's not what we're talking about here when we talk of the fun associated with gambling. The main fun comes while you're playing and hoping to iether win or loose. Every gambler has his choice of gambling and the main reason why they sticked to a particular gambling act is that they are comfortable with it because of the fun that they associate with it.

If you're gambling above your expected limit and you loose your money in the process, then their is nothing fun about it but if you are gambling responsibly using an amount that is in line with your gambling plan, then you will obviously enjoy the fun in gambling. But the summery has always been to gamble responsibly so you don't get yourself involved in a mix where every gambling act gets you upset because you always loose a whooping amount of money.

Making gambling as your source of income is very dangerous because there is never a guarantee that you are going to win any game. Gambling is risky and can be devastating to some extent if you do not quit immediately when losing serially because you just might get frustrated at the turn out of events.
Never deem it fit to make or take gambling as your source of income. It is not advisable and not healthy for a lifestyle. If you must gamble, gamble with funds you can afford to lose as the case may be. A gambling budget is advisable as well do as to keep yourself on a check and balance if you find it convenient.

Losing is never been fun but since we are dealing with gambling then it would really be just that normal that you would really be having such experience. This is why self acceptance or dealing will really be the key so that you wont really be having that kind of disappointment on the time that you would really be able to experience up these things. There's no fun on losing but since we do only have two possible outcomes or results then better get used to it. Dont make yourself that too optimistic on things because if you do then you would really be just that finding yourself that getting desperate on which we know that this is something which isnt really that recommendable on the time that you do gamble because being desperate is never been that a good thing for you and this is something
you should really be wary because once you do make yourself that delusional then you are really that prone into such easy addiction on which we know that this isnt something recommended.

I believe there is no fun on losing money, regardless we are talking about gambling, betting, investment, lending, or whatever. Though, in the case of gambling and betting the fun is definitely not related to losing, but rather on the feeling of thrill and uncertainty which comes with the randomness of the action of staking one's money in favor of one result. That is all.
If someone, on the other hand, manages to score a good win or a jackpot during a gamblinf session, there is a mixture of both fun, thrill and happiness (the latter one being obviously associated to the money one would have just pocketed).
In the videos of social media we all have seen how those who lose their money to gambling/betting show a extreme feeling of guilt and hopelessness and all of it comes from the fact they did not were gambling for the sake of entertainment, but only for the potential money to be made from good luck, unfortunately, that is how most of those stories end up.

When one approaches gambling in a correct way, there are way fewer chances of falling victim of one's own greed.

Hearing players complain over losing out on a game due to a single match, makes me wonder why gamblers decide to pick multiple predictions. It's quite much for the player to analyze. I don't think gamblers should recklessly pick games, due to greed. The more it accumulates, the higher the amount. Looking at it, the gambler would add more, hoping to win in all games. That's weird, we all need to understand that a few games work fine. At least a gambler should wager his money on teams he's aware of and focus on analyzing their win and loss history. The fun for the gambler appears when he sees the amount he could win, and wagers. Sadness reappears the moment the results return void. Money has been lost, a huge one at that.

The house will have the best smile on the gambler's loss. But if the player is only wagering a smaller amount, he wouldn't have to feel sad over his losses. The game gets fun for him every single time, and his emotions will remain stable. Nothing is special about feeling sad when gambling. It develops no changes or makes any difference in the game. Instead, the player out of sadness will end up harnessing more losses. A good state of mind helps the thoughts of the gambler to be better. And sadness spoils the mood of a player. He'd have to act faster than he should, in his chase for loss. What is best is enjoying the game, by wagering the amount we are capable of losing.

Wait, is gambling supposed to be taken as a source of income? People taking gambling as a source of income are taking great risks, it doesn’t make any sense to me. When gambling, there is no assurance that you are going to win, gambling is luck, and when gambling, there are always higher chances that you are going to lose money, so why are you going to take something like that as your source of income? When you are gambling, you are definitely going to be expecting a win, and whenever you win, you can make use of the money for anything you plan to do at that particular time, you don’t have to make plans for the money you haven’t won yet.
 
Whenever I am busy, I hardly operate my phone, not to talk of gambling. The only time I gamble is whenever I am free, and if I have nothing to do, then I will decide to gamble just to keep myself busy, but I don’t just gamble anyhow.

Exactly, I agree with you that someone would assume that or they would say that there is no fun when you lose money, and that means I believe that they have the belief that one can only carry the intention and purpose of earning in gambling while there is another better mindset which is to make gambling a place or a means to entertain yourself when you are having a boring free time and gambling with the purpose of relieving that boredom.

So do not consider that you have lost money if you lose but just consider that the money you have spent is nothing more than the cost of paying for the game you have played, because if you consider that it is the rest of the loss or loss then obviously you will feel disappointed and this is why some gamblers hold a grudge and act to pursue something that has been lost which ultimately makes them experience a greater amount of loss.  Most of the people who come because they are tempted by the chance of winning then I think we can be sure that they are gamblers who come with the intention of earning that they even go to any means just to get a win that will actually only happen by chance and can never be known.

Well, by the way I view this, it is not only gambling for money that is capable of making gamblers addicted, even gambling for the sole purpose of fun could cause addiction if care is not taken. Addiction is what you do most of the time and that you can't control, which is why our hobbies could turn to addiction, which includes gambling if you see it as a way of having fun, such could soon become a hobby and if not carefully planned and restricted, it could become an addiction.

That aside, your later advice and solution are good, one has to know their limit and the stopping level, anything aside from the budget and plans we have should be totally disregarded. Gambling is such that is pushy, but when we are conscious and disciplined in playing it, no amount of pushing and temptation will make it control us. This is why in losses, we should moderate things, we should know the maximum time we can spend gambling and the money we can lose in total. On getting to that level, it is best to quit the session regardless of whether we are losing or gaining at that time. And in gaining, we should not be carried away with it, or else, it might cause overconfidence for us and might make us lose back what we've gained.

Lastly, for those who are addicted to gambling, your suggestion of getting occupied with something else is so good. But I like to add that such a thing to be occupied with should be beneficial as well, if not, the zeal to gamble may easily dominate it.

Losses in gambling cannot be completely avoided, because losses in gambling will definitely happen and that includes losses. However, in my opinion, big losses can be avoided by having self-control, limitations in gambling or in the budget allocated for gambling and being able to stop when we lose from gambling. Big losses will not occur if we can gamble healthily and wisely. and I think almost no one who loses that money can be happy, I think that's ridiculous. Even though those who gamble wisely don't mean that when the gambling they do ends in defeat they are happy, that's impossible.

It's true what you said about the advantages that the host has, because gambling also exists because those who make it and those who make it also don't just make it just like that, of course they have their own goal, namely to make a profit from the many people who gamble in that stall. they provide. it should be like that, if gambling has drained our finances, that means gambling is no longer fun, because if it is like that, gambling only makes things difficult for us financially, but gambling itself does not force them to gamble continuously, so this is purely the fault of each individual. -each in my opinion.

Everything will depend on your initial intention to play, because your initial intention is to make a profit, of course it will be unpleasant when you experience a loss, because players who are trying to make a profit at gambling will also bet large amounts, perhaps even exceeding their limits, because what you risk will compare it with the profits you get later, even though gambling never provides certainty of profit, so when you lose it will really affect your mind and finances.

Gamblers who consider gambling as fun will gamble with small amounts of money or that they can afford to lose so that losses are not a problem and accept it well, and the wrong ones are those who gamble to earn income because it is impossible to feel pleasure even when they win they are very likely not to feel satisfied with the results, because he thought that if he bet more money.

You will think this way if you use gambling as source of income and not for entertainment purposes only. You should only gamble during your free time so that you will not neglect other task you need to do for that day. Remember that you should playing gambling only when you want to be entertained due to no activity on your life.

Many people failed to understand the real essence on gambling and usually play even they are sacrificing most of there precious time just to get quick profit even though they don’t need entertainment since they have active social life.
