-But due to the monetary commitment in gambling, some other gamblers have taken it as a way to make money and may decide to take gambling as a passive means of generating income.

I don't think money from gambling is a passive income. But why we gamble is not to wonder anymore. You don't play just for some fun anymore when you grow older, you don't wanna waste time without gaining. You wanna make money at the same time.

It the more even a reason to gamble when you don't have money and the rich gamble also because they see they can make money. They even cheat. Money is the motivation for all these. For crypto users, its part of thier stacking satoshis I guess while they also invest in BTC.

At a point in reading the first line of your reply I thought you have a divergence opinion to what I mentioned earlier and when you say we don't gamble for passive income, that may be right anyways because gambling doesn't guarantee a steady income, and at they not be taken as a stable way of income that is why gambling can't be taken as a career of the job unless to the addicts who can't stake away from gambling since they're chasing the winning to either recover previous lose or trying to make more money in the process.

-I 100% agree with you on the fact that money is the 1st motivation for gambling, and no one will want to keep losing money just cashing fun.

I asked this question here because I can't get the answer.
However, in my observation, I found out that most people go into gambling because they think that's the easiest way to make big money.
Please is it true?

Yes, it’s true since we all see and heard from news articles some gamblers who made it big and earn fortune in gambling. But if you can’t be lucky enough, yet you still chase for bigger profits and continue to bet with huge amount, then you’re only gambling to lose your money and not to win from it. However, some also gamble for fun, but I think it’s more fun and satisfying if gamblers actually experience both entertainment and profits when they gamble.

I don't think there is a universal reason.

Exactly! You can't just ask that kind of question because although it's a common question, that doesn't mean that you can have a common answer in response to that. There's a lot of factors why people are gambling, some are desperate enough because gambling is the easiest way and fastest way to have money as long as you're that lucky. There are some people who are seeking entertainment and money at the same time, and then there are some who gambles and bet for a living.

As we work through the hours of the day, we become bored with our routine job and at that, we will need a little to unwind and have some fun that way gambling games become the best possible lesser activities to clear our heads off, so basically gambling is done for fun and nothing else.

In gambling it is not certain that you can make a lot of money unless you are the luckiest person in the world. But I think there are many reasons why people gamble, maybe making money is one of them but they come because they are interested in what they like. For example, I really like football matches and always stay up to date with news about the club to the players, so I would prefer to bet on football to make money. Have I lost? Once upon a time, everyone must experience it and it is a part of gambling that it is impossible for most people to avoid. But as long as it's fun it doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't harm others.

probably people playing lotteries because they are aspiring in a big win.

but I don't think that people playing sports betting or similar games like blackjack in a casino are trying for the same target since they know very well that is really hard win a millionaire with a couple of bucks Wink

I engaged in gambling to earn extra income though I am not expecting to become rich through it and my point of interest is soccer betting because I always analyze soccer matches for fun thus I put my analysis into use by placing some bet in soccer matches, however I will never play a bet with a very huge amount of money in a bid to win massively thus I only play a bet with the money I can afford to lose bearing in mind that gambling is very risky and there isn't any sure bet anywhere, however with 2 or 3 games accumulator a gambler can earn decent profits.

The answer will be very relative and depends on how you define gambling itself. to be honest, I will not deny. if many gamblers, especially beginners, are more interested in making money quickly from gambling. naturally, because the essence of gambling is to get money from what we risk. and because of that, you make assumptions based on your observations. there's nothing wrong with that, but not entirely right. because, if you want to make money. better you work, than you you try to get it from gambling. why, because you will get stuck in your own loop of thinking, you will end up losing a lot of money, instead of trying to earn fast money from gambling.

That's why I say, depending on how you define gambling itself for you. for me, gambling is nothing but fun entertainment on the sidelines of routine work activities. Gambling can relieve a little stress, after activities from work, it also helps make us more relaxed. But with one caveat, gamble only for fun, without aiming for high wins. plus, with money you can afford to lose.

Quote from: Russlenat on March 02, 2023, 01:49:06 PM

It could be the easiest way to be an instant millionaire if you are lucky enough to gamble and ends in fortune. But let’s face the reality, this is very rare to happen as most of the gamblers gamble only to lose their money and leave gambling casinos with an empty pocket. Although others would say that they only gamble for entertainment, but actually I find it more odd as I’ve known a lot of gamblers spending money since they also want to chase some profits more than entertainment alone.

When I read this I laughed out loud because I remember when I begin to gamble some years ago, I can accumulate more than 10 to 30 matches at times because I want to win huge thousand of dollars with just small amount of money, when I stake the games, I will be very happy as if I have won it, but when the matches begin, I will see the reality again that I am deceiving myself.

They think that gambling is a gateway towards riches, which is, in part, true, but not really. The chances of you losing your money in gambling is way higher than you winning anything, but people still get this negative perception and end up chasing for their losses when they shouldn't. One bad habit breeds another, until it forms a pretty bad 'addiction' that a lot of gamblers cannot escape and won't admit.

You just answer your own question to be honest. That might be one of the factors but I think there's a lot of it and it differs from individuals because others might say it's about the money, the others will say it's about the joy they get while gambling, there's no definite answer to it. One more thing, it's not the easiest way to make money, it's likely the opposite and it's to lose money.

I don't think it's about the money. It's about the excitement that comes when the kid next door says he can get to the nearest store on his bike faster than you, or when you and your friend arm wrestle to get the girls' attention during the school break.

So the excitement is not only a desire to make money, the excitement is the desire to be the best among his surroundings.

For people who bet on sport games, their motivation for starting to gamble is that some people have a lot of knowledge about a sport and a game, these people have been following these games and sports for so long that they have a lot of knowledge and history of almost every team and player. For these people, they ask themselves, why don't I try to make money from this thing that I love and know so much about. Before you know they are drawn into trying to use their knowledge to make money, they begin to gamble.

Money is usually the reason. Having the only money you have for example will make you wish you have more and gambling is the easiest way to go. Although for some of us who have been gambling already for a while and have developed the skills already, I guess it's for entertainment already even when some see it as an addiction also.

With access to the online casino these days using crypto, it's easiest by far as you said than going physically.

Because there's no single answer and if you can't find it it means you're simply not satisfied with all the answers that you're getting or too lazy to look for yourself.
People gamble for various reasons. For some its a way to kill time, others find it to be a social experience. Some gamble because it's a tradition, part of culture, while some people try to get out of a difficult financial situation by gambling and often getting deeper into debt in the process. Pick the answer that fits your profile.

In my little understanding people purpose of going into gambling differs, some persons have a personal reason best known to them why they go into gambling it might be for good returns they feel that the will get when they investment in it and that's somany beginners thought, this happens mainly when the person is new in gambling.

They all start from somewhat that reason,that is very wide though,to make big money and I know a couple of people who got into gambling after seeing for example in an Instagram page the winning of the jackpot in the grand casino of 500.000 EUR and this was a big motivation for them to go and search their fortune,some other have been brought to gambling by friends and this was my personal case when we first got into Caesar Palace casino and they told me that the bonus round at those slot machines with animal related themes could give up to x2000 multiplier,I don't remember of that slot now but I know it was addictive as we kept going there almost every night (ok we also loved to hit on the waitresses but that is another story Grin

).

1. Gambling serves as a means of entertainment,some people gamble to have fun and relief themselves from stress after a long day work. Gambling with only the money the money that they have budgeted for it

2. Some people sees gambling as a means of making profit,to the extend that they think it is a side job them. Such people end up being losers to gamble or get addicted to it.

There are no special skills or qualifications required to gamble. With high potential rewards for winners. Its easy to get hooked if you win only once. Its fast and easy money. There isn't anything else on the planet comparable to walking into a casino. Betting $100, $1,000 or $10,000. Instantly double your money. Walking out the door with it minutes later. Where else can a person earn those types of potential rewards. Quick and easy payouts and no barrier to entry.

Consistent winners in sports gambling used to earn $1,000 to $3,000 in a single day. Consistent winnings. But things are different now. It might not longer be possible to consistently earn that type of $$.

The performance of athletes is no longer as consistent or predictable. Oddsmakers have improved at networking and using inside information to make matches that will fool gamblers into making the wrong bets. Officials and judges have become more inconsistent and less reliable over time. Its much harder now to pick winners, than it was even 5 years ago.
