Topic: Where is the fun when you lose your money? - page 7. (Read 2599 times)

You are absolutely right, for people who are rich and millionaires, losing can seem fun since what they have in money can cover everything, at least their basic needs, but for those who have their money counted, things change. , because it is as you say, you can leave a part of the money to play and that part is enough to be able to generate fun even if you lose, in my case I use slot machines as a way to de-stress, obviously. I don't put in a lot of money, the truth is that I put in 10usd, but I see it as a service, because there is a therapy effect in slot machines for me, so it's not something that is very decisive because they say that if I lose those 10usd then I'll leave to decapitalize, but of course, not more than 10usd, just that, I am not capable of earning more money, so in that case one can have fun even if one loses.

I understand that there are some responsible gamblers who always make pleasure the goal of their gambling regardless of whether they win or lose at the end of the session, but for the majority of gamblers usually losing does not give any pleasure at all and I think we can be sure that these are typical gamblers who come with the intention and purpose of earning so they really cannot feel pleasure in running a session and instead what they feel is tension along with some pressure because of worries about the possibility of losing.

On the other hand, it's also true that winning too often can also cause problems where as you said that there may be some people who claim and think that they are great or experts in the field of gambling, when in reality they are nothing more than just having good luck, And obviously the danger is that I'm sure next they will gamble in a crazier way because they already have high confidence and confidence that they are experts who will always be able to get a win, but the fact is that one day defeat will be a sure thing and it will slap them and the danger is that the inability to accept reality can make them take even crazier actions.

Yes sometimes we face the problem that the session goes so fast, or that means the losses come too fast that we can't enjoy gambling for longer, and I understand that money management in betting sessions is a good idea to be able to better keep the betting money from being too wasteful, but in the end I think it still comes down to luck, or that means if for example some of the games we play in the session go very badly then the session will end quickly as well.

There's no fun when we keep winning as well. I mean, we gamble ot experience the thrill and we know that it's a win or loss game, and if we have more wins than winning, that gives us the kind of fulfilling feeling that we thought we are really good in gambling. Yes, the reality is we loss most of the time, that's just how gambling work, otherwise casino would not anymore exist because we beat them.

The discipline in sticking with our budget only, tha'ts the most vital thing to do since we want to last more to enjoy more and that requires to properly manage our bankroll. You don't go all in if you don't want to get busted, I'm sure you guys know that if we do that, most of the time the result is not good.

They wont really be enjoying since the main thing that they do have in mind is that they would really be needing up to have those winnings so that they could really be able to make up profits on which they've been thinking on a constant manner on which they would really be assuming out that it could be possible but on the time that they would really be able to experience themselves
about the reality of gambling then this is where they would really be making out those realizations that it cant really be possible on this way or condition on which we know that this is the truth.

Never ever make gambling as a source of income because on the time that you would really be playing up then you would definitely get stressed whenever you do lose money
and since you do have that kind of mindset or thinking that you should really be that on positive then it would really be taking the overall essence of gambling that it should really be fun.
There's no fun in losing but it would really be that different if you are really that too desperate on the time that you do play.

It can only be for for people who do not take gambling to be a source of income, it is fun for people who only stake a small amount of money and do not gamble with the aim of becoming rich. In gambling you win some and you lose some, but every responsible gamber does not go all in trying to win money. I.e. football is my favorite sports, so it is fun for me playing on football matches and testing my prediction skills, if i lose, i try again another time, but i do not lose a lot of money so i don't cry over it.

It is practical, if you are for the money, you may be happy when you are winning, but when you are losing, you can never be happy. But if the primary goal of your gambling is for fun, then whether you win or lose, you will still be happy because you never expect any money from it, so you can't get desperate about playing it even as you have fun. But one thing that is good for those who are gambling for fun is to wager a lower amount of money that means nothing to them, or else, they will regret their actions and the fun will soon turn to sadness. If one plans to have fun in gambling, he might have just $5 budgeted for it and wager in ridiculous cent amounts per bet.

This will help such a person to be able to afford the amount spared for the fun and no losses would be hurtful in this regard. And it would be as if the $5 was the amount paid to access the fun, which will also be the situation of both losing and winning. The gambler will, of course, not lose the money easily and outrightly, and holding it tightly for over 2 hours is fun on its own where the gambler loses some and wins some until the money gets exhausted. However, if it is the money making your mind is fixed upon, even if it is $1 you lose, it will hurt so much. But if the mind is fixed on the fun, even if it's $100, the gambler may not feel it so far such a gambler can afford it as though the money is nothing to him.

I get your point here for sure since it's not going to be fun at all if you lose some money, especially on gambling right? I mean you want to lose money at all, for sure it is always going to feel great if you gamble and win that gambling and losing your bet for sure. But I think the thing here is staying in control of your gambling as long as you can limit your gambling to a certain amount I guess probably only 100$ in a month you could set that money whenever you lose or win that is only the money you're going to use in gambling.

I mean having fun and getting entertained would depend on your main goal in my opinion for sure you're not going to like it if you lose, but it is because your main goal is to make money or make some profit on it, at least but if your goal is to make fun and get entertain it would surely going to help, I personally gamble because it is fun and entertaining not just for the goal of making a profit, I would just treat it as a bunos if I win because it wasn't really the main goal of it, whenever I lose its not goal to be a good day but in the end, I have some fun with it, I do some sports betting as well, I mean it's my favorite sport I like watching basketball like NBA and betting on it, the thrill of winning and losing what so ever is just entertaining. So it doesn't really matter if I lose or win I always get entertained by it, I wasn't going to get frustrated for sure because I knew the limitations and I set it, and gambling only an amount that I could afford to lose and I could easily recover.

We all want success, right? Our wiring is that way. The truth about gambling? The business is hard. Because of these stories, people risk their money for a life-changing win. There are many losers for every winner.

Yes, gambling is entertaining. Its entertainment, not a moneymaker. Simple: odds are against you. Smart people? They know their boundaries and want excitement. This is how it is: the house always wins. Not luck, but entertainment. Understanding that improves your situation. Pursuing losses is futile. Enjoy things as they are, but dont expect this will make you rich.

You have made a logical point that people who use gambling as a source of income do not enjoy gambling in any way. Their aim is only to win and earn money. But gambling never wins anyone on regular bets so when they lose bets they get hurt and panic and start betting more and more to recover their losses and when they lose they also go through a lot of trouble. And for those who gamble for fun, most of the time, losing and winning are equally fun

I agree with you on that because most of the gambling addict we have today was not just as a result of having too much passion on gambling because there are some kind of situation someone would find themselves into and they will putting all there energy on something they believe they could make some money on the process, so in most cases that is how gambling addiction start because pressing need and responsibility could actually change someone narrative and at that moment the person will become very vulnerable.

And one of the forces behind addiction is that at the moment you become an addict you are no longer be in control of your gambling habits because your perspective on the gambling will totally change whereas you will see the gambling as your only means of becoming rich which will become very difficult to stop, so perhaps if we check very well majority of gamblers who has now become an addict was actually caused by financial challenges because in a situation like that gambling tend to be the only way out because it doesn't take much to start gambling unlike every other alternatives.

Do you gamble just to earn money? If a person considers gambling as his source of income, he will never get fun from gambling whether he wins or loses. Because here the purpose of that person is to earn money.If you get money, you will be happy temporarily. But ultimately he is gambling for money.Earning money or losing money in gambling is a matter of fun or fun is mainly found while playing the games.

We should be earning back to back but we're not in control. I try my best not to be in a position where losses will ruined my day, anytime I'm able to spot winnings and losses surpassing my ratio for the day. It's simple, just quit and wait patiently for a bright new day to go again, there's always new opportunities for us in the space. Losing money and you talk about fun? There's absolutely no cruise to catch or fun because losses are at stake and in our best interest, we should be grinding in for the big winnings.

I don’t know how you will feel or others that will have the same feeling as you feel in them when they lose money in gambling. No money is worth losing to me, whether earned, gifted or borrowed. My mind cannot even take it and I will feel bad for losing those monies. So it is better I trade cautiously and to avoid anything that will make me lose money. It is okay if you feel that way, maybe it is because you’re able to control your emotions better than I do or maybe I cherish the value of that money more and not ready to lose it for anything if it won’t double, as the case maybe for the intention of what the money is used for in the first place.


Most gamblers gamble to make more money and not all of this that some people claim they do it for. Most gamblers that commit suicide does all that because they lost a lot of money to gambling and may not have a means to recover it or gambled with money they were not ready to lose. Only few people gamble for fun and I only said that because some people claim they do it for that but practically, no one gambles for fun but for making more money and all those I’ve come across that gambles so much, does all of that for making more money and not the former.

That's normal if most gamblers have their reason why they still expect to make money from gambling because they already see what happens to some people who can win much money from gambling. They still attract to come back to gambling and playing many gambling games because they see they have a chance to win some money. Not about win much money but some bucks that can makes them feels happy. Though gambling is just a fun, they consider to used gambling as a fun and a place to make money if they luck. But actually, they can't expect to make money from gambling because that's difficult as many people already tried it but they just lost their money. Many of them lose much money and some already bankrupt without having a chance to recovers their lost. They must realizes the fact that gambling is a place to have fun and not a place to make money so they must limits themselves while playing gambling because once they lost, the intention to recovers their lose will be there. If the intention is show up, they will difficult to accept their lose and playing gambling will not be fun anymore.

You would really be able to experience financial issues if you do really make yourself that let it happen. You are the ones who do make out such actions on making yourself to be put up on such condition or situation. If you are really just that someone whose really that sensible on the things that you are really that doing then you wont really be putting up yourself on such trouble.
There are really just those individuals who are really that not minding about on the possible things that would happen into them and just really that minding on the things that they are currently facing up.
We do know that gambling is really just that for fun and its true that losing money is never been fun but this is something not that an issue if you are someone whose really that accepting
those possibilities from the start. It would really be justthat a matter of acceptance honestly.

Most gamblers gambles for reasons farfetched from how it been expected of them to have with gambling, there is no how we can work on misplaced priority and expect things to work out as we expect them, gambling is such a means of meeting people and creating an atmosphere of having fun together, some will want to gamble all because they are financial in need of how they could earn a living, which we should totally kicked against because it's not at time that we may have to win when we are gambling, we lose more often to be precise.

Most times, addiction comes as a result of financial issues. When a gambler is pressed with financial challenges and have no other means of meeting up with his or her financial demand, they just fall back to gambling as a last resort and rescue. They just go ahead to keep gambling and trying of luck and it keeps repeating and repeating to some extent of borrowing to gamble to see of they could try their luck and see if they could win. I have encountered many of them and the situation is very devastating because they no longer have that self-control as they are bent on winning a game to sort out financial issues they are into and in that case they keep gambling and it continues that way.

Throwing money down the hole in hopes of a big win is a gamble. The catch: it's not only about money or thrills. Understanding our beast that craves upheaval is key. You treat gambling like a leisure activity. Isn't it strange how we're taught to chase losses and feel good about almost wins and 'what ifs'? The brain lights up, dopamine spikes, and you're hooked; not just on the win but on the trip. However, knowing the game doesn't protect you from its risks. You like the features, games, and entertainment? Fantastic. Be honest, though. Stop when enjoyment ends. Period. It's about having the courage to say enough, not just knowing the risks

that's true, then it's true that with gambling it depends on what kind of response we have, if our goal in gambling is to make money then maybe in reality what will happen is defeat then we won't be able to accept that because the goal is to make money, and When the money at stake is lost we will not be able to accept it, whereas things like that can trigger actions that are more risky. It's better to gamble with the idea that it's just for fun, and try to accept defeat well, not worrying about defeat is the key to avoiding even bigger losses.

After all, making money or wanting to make money from gambling is a big risky thought. because the chance of winning is very slim while the chance of losing is big, therefore all gambling that is done will most likely only end in defeat and we as gamblers must be able to accept defeat if we cannot accept defeat which will clearly be If this happens, big problems could happen, so if we are not ready to lose the money we bet, it's best not to gamble.

There are various ways a person can express how they gamble, whether just for fun or spending their free time for entertainment. or, there are various reasons for each person who likes this type of gambling entertainment. the problem is, this type of entertainment has risks. first, we have to spend money as a medium. apart from that, be prepared to lose. another impact is that we will most likely be forced to spend a lot of time and ultimately ignore several tasks or work that should be completed. if it's about winning money, everyone loves it. you know, we will always be involved with money in life. Likewise with gambling, all gamblers like winning, especially getting big rewards as bonuses. But it's important to remember, gambling isn't just about money. there are various ways someone can interpret it, apart from getting a big win.

If you think it's more fun when your budget is much bigger than the losses, that's your right. but in reality, most of them are not as you hope. interestingly, you asked and I will quote: So where's the fun when you lose your money? the answer is, stop gambling because you will never achieve what you want. for me, pleasure is not just getting money.  in gambling, we can get something fun from the features and games that we like. playing it, enjoying every sensation, and getting pleasure from the entertainment provided, that is the essence of pleasure. If you lose, don't you know the risks of gambling? so, stop it if it's no longer fun.
