lol... well!
Filling the gas tank is literally burning money, I think to using a bicycle is viable, or walking, I don't know, where is the fun of putting gas in a car, and then to have to do it thousands of times...

Moral, the fun is driving, doing it is pleasant, the cost of gasoline has nothing to do with it. Likewise with betting, winning, losing, is the pleasure, betting is the gasoline.

You compare the gasoline to lose in betting really !!
I liked your post but am speaking about losing money not the fun in gambling, in the end of the day I prefer to say I enjoyed the bet with my money in my pocket than I have fun with my bets but I lost my money.

I think this is a good analogy but I don't agree that much with it.When you fill the car with gasoline you know that you will have a lot of driving available to you because the fuel tank is refilled to be full and with that fuel tank you are guaranteed for example to make like 500-1000km depending on your car engine.The money you put in betting though you have no guarantee that you will play a certain amount of time as it may happen you to lose that money very fast when you have a bad session,so the fun is absolutely not guaranteed here like in the case of refilling your car which guarantees you driving quite some kilometers of distance,in gambling you have no guarantees and that is why for me there is no fun in gambling.Even when the game makes you think you are going to win for example throwing at you x500 multipliers but not hitting a winning combination,there is absolutely no fun in this too.

So where's the fun when you lose your money?

Betting is not fun when you lose money what makes betting fun is when you have mastered the act of betting. What makes betting fun is when you are knowledgeable about the game you are betting on. What makes betting fun is when you have your risk management strategies rather than betting blindly and hoping for a magical win. What makes betting fun is not chasing losses. These and several others are what makes betting fun. Of course we may lose money because of house edge and but not because we bet stupidly and lost.

Gambling losses are not a problem when gambling is used for fun because gambling involves small amounts of money only for fun. Gambling losses are not fun for those whose objective is to earn. They get excited after losing in gambling and panic to recover the loss and start betting double amount. Thus they continue to lose more. so gambling is not fun for them at all. Gambling is a curse for them at that time. So gambling should be used as fun if it gives fun in any situation

Hi community,

When we make a bet and put our money on the line, we may lose money, time, and even some daily tasks that we neglect, and the first goal remains to make a quick profit with the largest possible amount of money, but I do not know why some people consider bets to be more for fun and a way to spend time than to win money.

Personally, I would consider it fun when my budget is much greater than my losses or when I gamble with someone else's money, and this is something I would not do if I had no benefit in it.

I think there are those who agree with me and those who do not agree with me, but it remains my personal opinion and it's an opportunity to share it with you on this topic.

So where's the fun when you lose your money?

Everyone intention in gambling is to make money and no body wants to lose but sometimes it happens because of the nature of the gambling, the gambling their predictions may not be perfect but it somehow correct to their on knowledge of predictions, You saying you can’t gamble with your money, You prefer someone else money, what is the agreement between you and the person, lost is lost either from the person you are gambling for or yours, the must important thing is that you are gambling to make money.

Losing money is no fun. While gambling can be entertaining, the term "fun" shouldn't mask the inherent risk of financial loss. Imagine the emotional turmoil of watching your money dwindle instead of enjoying the game.

The cycle of chasing losses is a fascinating point. The hope of "winning back" what you've lost fuels further gambling, often leading to even greater financial depletion. This highlights the psychological aspect of gambling and why it can be addictive for some.

The distinction between knowing when to stop and actually doing it is crucial. Understanding your limits and sticking to them is essential for responsible gambling. The danger of using borrowed money to gamble is a valid concern. Gambling should only be done with money you can comfortably afford to lose. The potential for financial ruin makes using borrowed funds a recipe for disaster.

You're absolutely correct with your opinion and I can't just agree less mate. Whenever I hear a lot of gamblers claim that they don't feel sad whenever they lose their money, I simply don't take them serious because we all know that 75% of the reason why people gamble is to make money out of it and no one will be happy seeing his money varnish in to thin air because of their losses in gambling.
There's nobody that'll be happy with losing their money and that's why I don't think there's any fun of whatsoever in losing your money to gambling. Gamblers only enjoy the game of gambling when they're winning money instead of losing money. I've lost my money in gambling on several occasions and there was never a time I felt any kind of fun in it

Gambling was initially a pastime for the wealthy, but its accessibility has changed the dynamic. Imagine someone with significant resources viewing gambling as entertainment, while someone struggling financially sees it as a potential escape route. The statement that "gambling is for fun" can be misleading. The "fun" might be fleeting, especially for those who can't afford losses. Imagine the emotional toll of losing money for someone already facing financial hardship. The enjoyment of wealthy individuals who gamble with disposable income is a different experience.

The desire of someone in poverty to adopt a "rich person" mindset is understandable. The hope of achieving financial security through gambling is a powerful motivator. However, relying on luck is an unreliable path to wealth. The emphasis on responsible budgeting is crucial. Gambling should only be done with money specifically allocated for entertainment, not with essential living expenses. The potential for financial ruin makes using essential funds for gambling reckless.

Since you already mentioned that there might be agree or disagree on what you have said then let's not make the discussion too deep.

If there are people who treats gambling for fun even they are losing money consistently, then let them be like that that.

On the other hand, if there are people who cares for every cents they risks and losing is not their priority, then let them be like that as well.

Gamblers have different perspective after all on how they treat gambling.

So where's the fun when you lose your money?

When we experience defeat due to carelessness and we regret our decisions. Sometimes we already know it means we will lose this time if we take this. But we just stay to take it. So yes, you really lose and lose money. And this is a small defeat that comes from our carelessness and inconsistency in strengthening ourselves to match our analysis. So, what else can you expect? Of course, it's quite funny and annoying at the same time.

But in fact, it won't be as fun as we often experience it. Losing in gambling is quite annoying. And we will normally feel disappointed by our defeat. But we still do it, even though we already know there is no chance of winning. In fact, it makes me even more enthusiastic to take part in gambling again. This is quite dangerous because you can't control yourself for it. Therefore, whatever it is, position ourselves as ordinary gamblers, and not those who spend a lot of money beyond our means.

but I do not know why some people consider bets to be more for fun and a way to spend time than to win money.

Because they are using little amount of money to gamble. Let us say you earn $500 weekly and you are using just $5 to gamble and using the remaining $495 for other things to improve your life and success, you will not feel like you lose $5 even if you are losing all the $5 every week because it is a little amount of money that you can afford to lose.

If betting is for fun, then most likely the one that gambles is only risking his spare money. And even if he losses it, the fact that he enjoys his game, then obviously he is having fun. But for someone who is a high roller and eventually loses all his bankroll, then I don’t expect for that gambler to still having fun. One who is at a huge loss will certainly feel being upset and frustrated, even if we say he’s also earning a lot.

Gambling will only be fun if one is at a winning stake. Or if that gambler is just trying to find pleasure in gambling despite of the small losses he endure.

No one considers losing money as a fun activity.

Having fun in gambling is not basically focused on risking your funds and losing them at the end of the game then you will say you're just having fun. The fun that often gamblers say is when they are winning or aiming to win every bet they make. No one would be happy with having a losing streak which becomes the reason for frustration for every gambler.

Losing is an inherent part of gambling. Imagine a scenario where everyone wins all the time – the casino wouldn't exist. Understanding this fundamental principle is crucial for responsible participation.

The distinction you draw between gambling and a solution for financial woes is essential. Gambling should be viewed primarily as entertainment, not a get-rich-quick scheme. The thrill of the game, not the potential windfall, should be the primary motivator. The potential downside of unrealistic expectations is well-phrased. Chasing "something more" without considering the odds can lead to disappointment and even financial ruin.

Gambling becomes fun when you are more on the green line I don't see any fun in the emotional devastation that comes when there is a loss, however gambling should be seen as a game and nothing too serious hence the reason why it is always advisable to gamble only with the amount that you can afford to lose, you need to be in control of the game and not the game being in control of you.

Gambling is the fun if you consider the gambling for the entertainment,So you won’t expected to increase the money used in the gambling.This will help you to play the gambling without any expectation,this also build the game without any emotions.Finally the gambler will play the game without the interference of the emotions.The serious playing with the expectation of making money from the gambling will be the cause of loss of fun from the gambling site.The gamblers should ready to take the responsibility of the money used in the gambling.This basic fact will save the gamblers to get into the depression some time.

Well that's the most fun betting in sports betting while watching outside with many people will be more fun especially the favorite team wins this will be the fun ever felt while betting.

Even in sports betting betting with a friend mun so because they trust each other with their respective favorite teams, more clearly I like Sportsbook.

The sports betting is the fun because it was used to watch after the betting was made on that game.Many time the gamblers will make the betting in the particular team before the game was played in the real word.So it will be the fun when the expected team making some goal and make you win the match with the more goal.But the gamblers should ready to accept the loss from the same game if the game was going in the opposite direction due to the bad luck in that game.

The fun is when you get thrilled, and gambling gives that thrill to us. We can start with losing most of the time, and as we continue we like to find a way figuring out how to win, it's like a contnues experiment that deep inside we know we are lsoing money but still optimistic that one day we'll find success.

That's why gambling is called as an entertainment, and by saying entertainment that means we spend money on it, if we are not entertain doing that then gambling is not for us, we can spend our money somewhere else because gambling is ony for gamblers by heart.

You lose or win all the time, it's not fun....... you win and lose, that's real fun.

Losing money is not fun at all and everyone here does not want this to happen to us.
Though, if you really expect to lose money and you are ready for it then its better to focus on the experience itself especially with physical casinos as you may enjoy their facilities and you can still have fun despite of losing the money.

If you want the fun.

You should bet on sportsbook, even you are losing you will watch the game at least you still have some fun. Let's say you are betting on sportsbook + go to the bars and watch your favourite team.

Even you are losing the bet, you still going outside (watch the game and drink to talk some BS about the game and everything).

Well that's the most fun betting in sports betting while watching outside with many people will be more fun especially the favorite team wins this will be the fun ever felt while betting.

Even in sports betting betting with a friend mun so because they trust each other with their respective favorite teams, more clearly I like Sportsbook.

You are looking at it the wrong way. Some people pay $1000 to see a sports game with a good view. That is basically you "losing" money in return for entertainment. I gamble for fun and the entertainment of it. When you bet on a sports game I'm much more into it for teams I don't root for, therefore enjoying the game more. So if I lose the bet I still had "fun" doing it. Same thing with a day at the casino, it's an experience and your gambling loses are just payment for that experience.

OP before one thinks of gambling, one should already be aware that he or she is signing up for fun and not the other way otherwise. Gambling should be a thing of fun not funds for win. Gambling is a thing of 50/50 as the case may be. Not everyone you see here is a gentle man. Every one who gambles should know that gamble is for fun and gamblers should be able to gamble responsibly.

Gamble with what you can afford to lose. Gamble is not for the faint hearted so why gamble if you can not do away with loses incurred while carrying out your gamble.
