Topic: Where is the fun when you lose your money? - page 9. (Read 3132 times)

So that we are better prepared to lose, we should bet in small amounts while enjoying betting.
Most people's mistake is to think that gambling can make money and place gambling as a way to get a steady source of income.
Even though gambling is just to enjoy the game while betting on something we enjoy, if we do our gambling involvement in this way then I'm sure we won't be too dizzy when we lose.

Gambling is difficult to get regular wins to make money because it is betting in nature and there is no certainty regarding winning.
When we are gambling we should be able to rely on much smaller amounts of money so that when we lose it doesn't make us feel disappointed by losing money.

We all wants success, especially from gambling because many people still playing gambling and hope they can win much money from gambling. That's why many people comes to gambling and expect to make money from gambling but they don't knows that gambling is not a place to make money. They can just playing gambling to fills their spare time and have fun and not makes money. There are no fun when we lose some money from gambling but that's the risks of playing gambling so we can realizes that we doesn't have to playing gambling to often and too long.

We must limits our gambling activity to prevents the big lose because many people have that but that doesn't stops them from playing gambling. We must be smart to used gambling as an entertainment and not for makes money. We don't have to pursue the losses because that can makes us getting more losses and will not realizes that we already lose much money.

I agree with you. Basically we have to think that we are paying to gamble and you have to be prepared to lose your money. Never use gambling as a source of income. You will not get pleasure from gambling if your goal is money. Gambling is a game and it will cost you money. Believe me you will not win from gambling. If you win then in the next round you will lose. So it's better not to think about getting money from gambling because you won't get fun from that mindset.

Yeah, but at the end of the day, the amount of entertainment a gambler can get will probably never cost that much.

A ticket for a concert, plus an all you can eat and drink dinner, etc, all that would be nothing compared to one night at the casino gambling away without limits.

There's just no comparison in terms of entertainment.

I am among the people who do not agree with you if your perception is that gambling is only for profit. A person's fun cannot always be measured by how much money they make after gambling, some gamblers only try to relieve fatigue after a day's work or relieve the burden of the problems they are facing. The atmosphere in a gambling place can give them pleasure and inner satisfaction that cannot be measured in money even if they lose after placing a bet.

If you assume that looking for fun in gambling places is just a waste of time, then mountain climbers or rock climbers are also wasting time and have a greater risk than the money spent in gambling places. A person's fun cannot be measured with money, mountain climbers can feel a sensation that is difficult to express in words after successfully reaching the peak, the feeling of tiredness, time spent and ignoring daily tasks is not comparable to the sensation of pleasure felt after successfully achieving their goal.

Exactly, the fun part is attached to what a person's perception about gambling is, whether they know and understand that gambling can't earn them money in the long run or they spend money on gambling with the hope that they might earn a fortune some day. Though it's possible, the odds are extremely low for someone to make a fortune through gambling and it only happens to a small percentage of gamblers out of millions of gamblers out there.

If a person understands this, then they might gamble just for fun, and when they do that, they don't care about losses because they will have a fixed budget and they will only be using that amount for their gambling activities and it would be an amount that they can easily afford to lose.

If you or anyone wants to earn back to back money, then gambling is not for them. In gambling, there is no guarantee when you will win or when you will lose. Rather most of the time, the unexpected happens. When we are confident that we will surely win we lose and we have given and think that luck is not at our side, we start to win. There is no certainty as to when and how much we win or lose in gambling.


I have tried this too, I quit for a day when i lose and then next fresh after next day and guess what, i lose again  
So this formula does not work that you quit for the day, for that time and when you start again, you will definitely win. You can start again and start the losing streak again.
The worst thing is that we never know when our good luck will start so we need to keep on trying until we find a win. And yes, the Fun part in gambling only comes when we are winning.  

I've read that anything could be therapy to anybody, that's a valid point you've made, LUCKMCFLY. When a player has extra funds to finance his gambling habit, it's not much of a stress to think he'd be sad after losing out a designated amount of money he drafted out for gambling, only. Moods swings only if he changes his initial plans and plays against his will. Such is likely or unlikely going to happen depending on the personal skills of the player. Gamblers who intend to enjoy the game wouldn't get sad, but those who wish to earn more money can go home angry. When a person wishes to get something in a place where it's not available, he gets disappointed. A gambler whose intentions revolve around making money won't feel the excitement of gambling, compared to a player who focuses on enjoying his game. He'll only wager a few amounts and get relaxed watching out for the results. If more money is spent, the mood of a player could be diminished. That's where the fun disappears alongside the money. It all depends on the wagering habit of the player and how he manages his money, regardless of his financial status.

It's interesting what you say about the connection between fun and winnings, because it makes a lot of sense! The fun doesn't consist exactly on the winnings, but on the struggle we face to achieve a winning in the end. Then it's highly rewarding, not only financially, but also emotionally, because we feel the thrill!

It's like watching a movie where the hero always overcome the challenges without any effort, or doesn't face any challenges at all during his journey on the story. Movies like that aren't fun, because they are monotonous and obvious... You know exactly what is going to happen, when it's going to happen and how it's going to finish, without having to watch the entire movie. Even the action scenes in movies like that aren't fun.

The unpredictable makes movies fun, just like the randomness makes gambling fun for gamblers. That is the truth!

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.
