Topic: Where is the fun when you lose your money? - page 18. (Read 2636 times)

When a person loses money, a lot of andrenaline is produced - of course, this is a somewhat inverted emotion, but it can happen. If a person just gives the money to charity, it will not cause the emotions that a person gets when losing it in a casino. To each his own, of course

Normally gambling is fun  when people go about it in the right way just as it is supposed to be played. Gambling is fun when people get the real understanding of gambling. When people play with amount that they can afford to lose and when one understand their limits of how gambling is supposed to be played this makes gambling to be fun. But when people takes gambling so serious and what to play gambling with a high amount,  if it ends up to lose it will be painful because it was not played for fun instead it was played to make more money in gambling.  Gambling is fun to play when people knows the limit which they need to play and can play with amount that they can't afford to lose.

For me the fun in gambling even when you lose, is when you are playing being thrilled and excited for the outcome.
Some of us risk money to have or feel those emotions and doesn't really care much about the game result.
For them it is not the result that is important but the time when they are playing having fun.

That's what I was about to say. We certainly don't enjoy losing money through gambling; I don't think anyone does, unless you have an abundance of cash ready to be blown away; however, the money-making opportunity, along with the adrenaline rush you're getting through betting and the anticipation of winning money in return, is what gets you going. It's definitely not for everyone, as it requires great budgeting skills and self-control, while some people may not be able to handle losing money, and unfortunately, it's something you should get used to while gambling; luck won't always be in your favor.

I understand that losing money is a situation that no one wants to be in and one of the reasons why many people suggest to treat gambling as a fun activity while on the other hand they have the possibility to lose money is actually a mindset that you should not make gambling a place to earn income, because this is the only approach that is really best if you want to stay involved in gambling.

After all gambling is always about risky decision-making activities but on the other hand you can minimize the possibility of risk which as I said above that making gambling a place to seek pleasure is the best approach because then I think you will not put seriousness and hope in winning, So the idea of gambling for fun is nothing more than an approach that is indeed more advisable but it does not mean that you will not lose but you will not experience excessive emotions due to defeat which basically emotions can make a gambler experience a more significant defeat because of making decisions based on emotions.

You won't make fun of gambling when you lose because what is in your mind is to make money from it. But if you think you just playing, whatever the results will satisfy you. Unfortunately, you are gambling for money, not for pleasing and entertaining yourselves which stresses your mind and gets burned when lose. This is normal for the gamblers who assume that they gamble for the win and this is who you are. Of course, you can't appreciate gambling as you already think that gambling never gives you happiness when you lose.

Depending on the nature of gambling that people do, some people gamble when they are not busy at work or more precisely when they have regular holidays every week.
Spending a small budget on gambling for fun is a practice that many people do, unless gambling is an addiction that knows no time. That's why people consider gambling as a way to have fun because they are not addicted to gambling.

There has never been a person that I have come across who would be happy if they lost money but it would be much different when they tried to bet and lost money at gambling.
Deliberately or not losing small amounts of money in gambling may not have any effect on some people because they do not gamble blindly.

There is sometimes a rush of adrenaline in anticipation and wait for the outcome when you gamble, this is the fun to some people. If you do not have this excitement when you gamble, then maybe there is no fun in it for you. Gambling does not have to be fun to everyone and to every gambler, If there is no fun in it for you then maybe you should consider engaging in another activity for fun and stop finding fun in gambling or forcing yourself to like it.

Or maybe we should ask ourself of where is the idea we had concerning gambling that we should gamble with the amount of money we can afford to loose, when we are gambling, we need to watch the limit to ho we should spend on this purpose, we have to be careful from how long we stay gambling for a day, this might also triggers in the way we spend as we stay longer in gambling because it requires money to gamble.

I hadn't considered it that way, but it makes sense that the social part of sports betting might bring some comfort even in the face of a loss. But on the contrary playing slot machines may seem incredibly solitary, making the loss all the more devastating.
I feel that a sense of community in online sports betting may be beneficial in several ways.


1. It can give a social outlet for persons who might otherwise be without one.

2. It can make people feel less alienated after a loss since they know others are going through the same thing.

3. It may create a sense of community and shared purpose, which can be quite inspiring.

Since the chance to lose money 50:50, I think we can say that we should lose money in betting. However, each gambler may have a different result in betting. Some gamblers may often to win the betting, others may be very rarely winning the bet. I think it is normal and each gambler understands this very well. That's why some gamblers don't prioritize winning as their main goals because it is unlikely to be achieved. Some gamblers prefer to enjoy the process, they enjoy the game. They like playing the game that can triggers their adrenaline. If they are lucky, they may get a prize. This is a simple tought that some gamblers believe.

Well, it is a personal assumption, it is an own view. Ever gambler has their own goal, every person has their own purpose. In this matter, we can't blame others with their personal opinion. Sure, in theory it won't be fun if we can't win the game. But in reality, there are some people who have no problem to lose money. Their main purpose is to get entertainment in gambling, they know it is not the best place to earn money regularly.

This is the only type of gambling where there is fun - sports betting. Your consolation comes from the bants with the fans of the opposing team and a bottle of beer while at it. That is the only fun. There is really no fun in a loss. Nobody likes to experience it. It is especially worse in a casino game like slot. If the loss continues you will then believe that the game is rigged, it leads pain.

It also came to mind to add that if you are gambling on someone's money(like a cash gift) and not yours that is the only time when you may have fun while losing because the money used to wager isn't your but was gifted you.

Really? If you play with someone else's money you still have to give it back. If that's your idea of fun, you will never have fun like that because I promise you nobody will come to you with a pile of money and say -here mate, play with it. If you lose it there's no consequences. On top of it you'd like to benefit from it? So you'd like him to tell you that here's his money, if you lose it's his loss, but if you win you both share the win You're such a dreamer if you believe that this will ever happen.

You don't have fun when you lose, you have fun when you play and losing is just a price to pay.

The only time you experience fun when you lose is when you gamble for the fun and entertainment and not for the money's, and anyone that gamble in this line of games will only use a very low amount to gamble, this way,, even if he loses the money, he will not feel bad about it.

Secondly gambling shouldn't be taken to mean a money making facility and do gamble with the predetermined mindset of making profits if you gamble in such thoughts, you will easily lose your peace of you lose the game.

The fun is there during the gambling session you played, not on its consequences. If you can't see any fun on the moment you are gambling, probably gambling isn't for you. So you should look for another hobbies which can be more emotionally rewarding. By your testimony, it looks like gambling is being painful for you, because you are losing money, and in no ways someone should do anything which is being harmful for them somehow. When gamblers who can afford to lose end losing money gambling, they just move on to their next appointment as soon as their gambling session is over without thinking on the loss, therefore this activity doesn't bring negative consequences for them the way it seems to be bringing to you.

If you keep thinking too much how gambling isn't being fun to you, it means that you used money you couldn't really lose or wasn't really willing to risk at all...

They think that way because this is the only way to eliminate doubts because in gambling losing is certain when you win it is considered lucky, so it will say more fun in between time instead of sacrificing our daily work.

There may be those who think that where we have a large enough capital, the chances of winning are high, but when the capital is small, the loss will be faster regardless of all that, who doesn't want to lose it all? So I myself will with small capital do not care about losing because I have tried from the pleasure of the game.

We all know the risks, right? - losing money, time slipping away, even neglecting stuff we should be doing. But hey, maybe we'll hit the jackpot and end up with a nice chunk of change in our pockets! High risk, high reward, that's how it goes.

Some people really get into the strategy and challenge behind betting - for them, it's like a kind of game where the enjoyment comes from playing, not just the end result.  Win or lose. It's like with any hobby - for some folks, half the fun is in the process itself.  On the other hand, I only really have fun when I've got bonus cash or something to play with.  If my own money's on the line, especially any serious chunk of change ain't no fun anymore.  But I know some folks enjoy the strategy, the challenge of figuring the odds and trying to beat them.  Hey, different strokes and all.

If I was certain to lose 100% of my bankroll, of course I would not bet on any type of bet. But because betting is about chance, I do it knowing that there is a chance of winning or losing there. TBH, your question is a silly question, but because I think I've to answer it, I answer it head-on.

Then, about entertainment and fun, to operate this you need a bankroll, I love seeing how and what I get for each spin on slots, when it becomes a win then I get 2 things, fun + profit and when it becomes a loss at least I get entertainment.

There is only 1 thing you shouldn't do here, gamble with money that you can't afford to lose because it will plunge you into chaos and become a problem gambler. Does anyone agree with my opinion here?

The fun is widely written on the player's face, for everyone to see. When you look at a player you'd know if he's happy for losing money or not. Hence, what matters is the amount of money he lost and the strategy he's utilizing in the game. However, it always feels like losing in gambling is wrong, but it's wrong, losing is a part of the game, and should make gambling fun. If we never wagered money while gambling, no player will be sad for losing. A player who knows his game plays happily till his session's duration is exhausted. Note this, his duration, not his funds. Gambling shouldn't end our funds, instead, we should end the game when we choose. That's the importance of running a strategic test and understanding what works or not for us. So how we feel after losing money is a choice. When I do lose money, anger hunts me, but I decide whether to accept it or not.

The outcome can't be changed by our feelings, no need to stay sad. Whatever a player thinks his happiness matters. I'm happy that fun gamblers are doing a great job in circulating the message of perceiving gambling as a fun game. No need to neglect the truth and follow the other message that says we can earn money via gambling. I think a player wins both emotionally and financially when he's gambling for fun. It's not about the money, but the feelings. Money must be spent, forgotten, and gotten again, but our emotions can hurt us forever. Thereby causing harm to our thoughts and gambling habits. If a gambler wagers a smaller amount of money, he'd feel fine losing the money, as it's not big enough to change his mood. In a nutshell, fun gamblers don't play out of greed, instead, they tend to enjoy the game and learn other skills it provides to their brain.

There is no fun in losing your money, it's heartbreaking but gamblers don't think about their losses, they think about the next possible game that will give them a win, consistency in gambling is the key, and when you get matured in gambling, a lost will be just a normal thing in your gambling lifestyle. If you've won big money through gambling, you wouldn't have this view your having OP. Gambling isn't something you just jump on it today and start winning, you need to develop a thick skin and strong immune system against letting a lost get to you, also develop a gambling strategy that will help you have winning edge whenever you make predictions. If not, you will continue to see gambling from this angle your currently seeing it.
