Please is it true?

Either to have fund or to make money, this is the top two reason why people are getting into gambling and when they see opportunity, they gamble more out of curiosity or even with addiction. Everyone here have their own reason, personally I gamble to have fun and make money as well but I didn’t think gambling as the easiest way to make profit because it will still depend on your luck and its not always about profit in gambling.

Probably, that could be right particularly for high risk takers. Who knows, they could be instant millionaires so taking some risks might paid off. But that type of gamblers do not stay longer in the gambling industry as they can used up all their money without gaining and live life the hardest way. I still prefer to gamble with a little bit of entertainment and maybe anticipate some profits too. That way, we can be responsible gamblers without compromising our hard-earned money.

I could only imagine thousand of reasons why people do gamble, but if am being specific to myself, it would be the reason of adding extra cash to any cash am currently holding in my hands and sometimes when am kinda bored too, I do gamble my spare cash to just enticed myself in having that feeling of always winning, I mean the act just makes me feel alive but sometimes it does make one feel dead too Grin

especially when you have experience a big loss that can affect emotionally.

Your using your money to earn more money and this is the basic concept on why people get dealing with gambling, only a few who does really mind about leisure because it is really mainly going after for profits.
Gambling is the fastest and easiest way to win but also same goes when losing too and we do know that most gamblers do ends up on a disaster considering that house do always win.
Gambling chances of winning are slim and there's no way that you would be able to make yourself get that rich no matter how long you are dealing with it.
This do matters about on how being lucky because if you arent then you would really messing your life in speaking about finances.

Yes you are definitely right, some people don't really gamble because of money, they gamble because they just want to have fun and they want to relax whenever they are stressed, but they are just few, in my country most youths gamble because they believe if they continue they will endup making huge money. Some of them started gambling just for fun but in the long run their mindset changed, they started believing they can be making money from gambling, some people take gambling as a source of income.

The reason why people go into gambling may vary from one individual to the next, as some go into it for fun and entertainment while others go into it for the chance to double their funds, which is the most common reason now amongst 95% of gamblers. But one important factor in the aspects of making money while gambling is that in an attempt to make money, you can also lose money too, as nothing is guaranteed since gambling is a game of pure luck

There are people who use gambling as an escape from their distress and problems in life. They usually rely on gambling to feel free from their anxieties for a while which I think is a wrong idea. Those who fall for gambling addiction are those who just gamble to ease their worries because they always feel emotional when gambling since they see it as an escape from the reality of life. They tend to gamble without doing critical thinking and bet using the funds that they can't afford to lose. Relying on gambling just to escape life trials will only be a temporary relief but might also worsen the situation in the long run.

Lets just say that not all people do come after for the money but rather on the entertainment and leisure but i would say that out of 100% then 10% might really be having this kind of mindset and the rest is really just

mainly aiming for making money and we know thats not how its simple because we know that we do need luck for us to win unless if you are dealing with strategic based games then you could actually atleast have
some more changes for you to win if you are really that have those skills and knowledge.

Most cases on which it is really that pertaining on making money and this is why gambling industry becomes so big due to this kind of motive.

People gamble to win and earn big, that’s the most possible reason why most gamblers spend their money and risks in gambling. They could be lucky enough and gain fortune, or they could end up losing all their funds and leave gambling house so badly. But I think there are also quite gamblers who really go there to entertain themselves, regardless if they win or lose in the process, which I also think much better as gambling is losing money actually.

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 a 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.

I also have similar feelings back then when I thought gambling to be a roller coaster of luck and winning based on odds, so I always accumulated multiple odds and so many games just to increase my amount on winning from my small amount, sometimes with a 100 bulk my potential winnings will accumulate into millions, but due to the numbers of matches I need to sellect, my chances of winning are almost at 0 per cent since not all team will win the match and even sometime more than two clubs will cut the tickets before it get to the middle of the ticket.

-So at some point, I have to give up on the idea of hitting jackpots through that method of betting.

There are some triggers that cause people to get into gambling.
but the most triggers may because:
- Advertisements in the online flyers with very interesting jackpots, bonus, or winning probability so people will expect highly about earning money so easily like in the advertisement. And then, they are getting into gambling platforms, get their first winning money, and then becoming curious and curious for the second and all time. if someone is not able to control themselves in gambling, they will be probably getting into addiction and this is bad enough \\. But for someone who is able to manage themselves, learn much about gambling, and also control emotions, they may be able to earn more money wisely.
- Affiliate programs are done by popular influencers. this is also very common happening and many people will also be interested in gambling because they know the influencer, trust them, and then follow their gambling activity.

Simply, all is about earning money easily like what they expect. But the reality, it is not as easy as they think.

People play gambling because of many reasons, but there are 2 common reasons (for entertainment and for earning money).
Some people gamble because they are fun with gambling games. They want to spend time and money because it gives people entertainment. The games make them forget about their workloads and the bad things happening in their life. While other people have the intention to collect money by gambling. They chase the winning, they assume gambling is the way to get money easily. But they are wrong, gambling is actually an easy way to waste money if they gamble carelessly. Grin

We have different reasons but one common reason why people gamble is because of the hope of winning and earning easier. It is a well-known way for people to make huge profits despite the risk of losing everything in one click as well. We are influenced mostly by winning testimonies of those who have been successful in gambling. Others gamble just to feel entertained and to seek comfort in it.

It is the easiest to earn money if you are lucky and the easiest to lose money if your unlucky. So whether you can make big money depends on your luck.

Quote

Why do people go into gambling?

It is either to have fun or to win money. To have fun and forget all worries in life while indulging to the alluring games of a gambling platform. Some do gamble out of curiosity but mostly is to experience the thrill of winning a huge money out of a small amount of bet.

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.

It's the first time I read this claim to be honest. It's something backed by serious sources or it's just a personal observation. If it's just your personal experience, it can be biased, because luck is very chaotic and random. Some people will never experience a long winning streak, while others will enjoy an endless one till the end of their life. Other will have a long one but after that will experience a long losing one. It could be your case and it would be a kind of survivorship bias. When results of one sport are less predictable, odds on favorites increase and odds on underdogs decrease, so you won't make less (or much) money because of that at the end.

I think that for almost everyone it is the same when they play for the first time that they want to see whether they can conduct their analysis and are smarter than the bookmakers. That is how it started for me when I gambled for the very first time. I put some effort into coming up with my bets and then thought I got it. It was actually the first time that I learnt how much coincidence is involved in predicting outcomes.

Another reason was when friends played private poker rounds and at some points I was interested in playing bigger tournaments as well. Playing online is then the perfect solution. Going into a real casino is by far not as convenient as sitting at your laptop and choosing whatever tournaments suit you the most.

There's no single answer to this that anyone can give you. Some people might get introduced to a casino when they are having fun on a night out with a group of friends. Others might see a poker room advert on a random website and decide to try it out because they are "bored". Another might have a lottery ticket gift bought for them when they are young. Yet others might get introduced to one of the betting terminals while doing a transfer between flights at an airport. Gambling is almost ubiquitous in society these days, even the biggest football clubs in the world have many gambling companies advertising around the pitches and seen by millions every day.

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.

Gambling activities are only for fun when we have free time from the main job, so I agree with that statement because they don't gamble every day and don't aim to get passive income in gambling.

Quote

-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.

Positioning gambling to generate passive income is very inappropriate because the ratio of loses in gambling is very high, whether slot gambling or sports betting, unless you only target low passive profits and stop gambling after the daily passive profit is achieved, but it is difficult to control yourself if you want to get passive income from gambling because you will be betting above the limit funds and the risk of your gambling addiction will increase so that it will be difficult to recover.

A plethora of reasons really, but let's talk about the most common ones, mainly gambling for entertainment, and gambling for profit.

Gambling for entertainment, as it implies, is gambling with the sole purpose of letting off steam, winding up, or relaxation. Most of the people who gamble for entertainment aren't really in for the profits, but rather to pass time and for the experience. As a result their capacity to expect so low almost always leads to them being very collected, and never disappointed.

On the other hand, gambling for profit is one of the stupidest things you could do to yourself, especially if you don't really have what it takes to go pro. When you gamble for profit, you tunnel vision on one thing: to win and get money, and with gambling's nature always leaning towards profiting the house, these people lose more than they earn, which in turn creates a cycle that ultimately drains them of all the energy, motivation, and money that they have.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In my own opinion I think that there are several reasons why people going to gambling. At first people especially young adults may going to gambling or sports betting as a result of peer pressure then over time they start having their reasons to keep gambling. Their reasons may now include - to win money to solve a problem, for entertainment, to escape life's stress, worry and anxiety, etc whatever the case may be the reasons for gambling changes everything I visit the casino. It may depend on my mood or state of mind.

I am sure that people will think that gambling is the easiest way to make money hold up over time realise that it is a fallacy and would have dumped that belief. Gambling is not the easiest way to make money in fact it is the fastest route to lose money, the fastest route to suffer from mental illness.

That is really one of the reasons. Mostly when I think of this, the first thing that comes to mind is the lottery, as there are a lot of people betting on the lottery here in our place, and mostly I would say that they are struggling with money, even if we are not asking them for sure, because they only bet a small amount and win a huge amount and can buy things with it. That is also the time when they can make a lot of money—even more than their regular salary. Though there are really people who want to do gambling for fun,

There are lots of reasons for someone who goes into gambling to really wish for more and even become a gambling addict.
Due to inadequate economic factors that make someone think that gambling is a shortcut for them to be able to change the economy or their life because gambling can make money quickly and easily, but this is actually not quite right because in reality it is gambling that makes someone earn lost all the valuable things he owned.
Excessive curiosity when seeing or listening to gambling stories can also be the reason someone goes to gambling and tries it because they are curious about the games and wins that can be obtained.
Getting carried away by friends and relatives who like to gamble can also make someone start gambling because the association and environment greatly influence a person to participate in gambling.

No, it is not true that gambling is the easiest way to make big money. Gambling can be a very risky activity and it is possible to lose money quickly. People may go into gambling for a variety of reasons, such as the thrill of the game, the potential for a big win, or simply for entertainment.

That actually depends on what the reason could be. If you ask me why I gamble then my answer is because it is fun and can waste my leisure time until it is up to work or to do something important. Second is that I can earn like double the money I can afford to lose if I am lucky but if not still it is fun. Other people have a bad mindset which they think that gambling is a way to double or triple their money whem in reality people always lose and casinos are always winning. Well, there are more reasons for why people are gambling.

You could have a chance to make money through gambling, so why people will refuse gambling if it's could be a way to make money without any effort? People are very love to make money without doing anything! This is why many new generations are trapped and addicted with gambling.

You can be right that there are still many people who think that gambling is the easiest way to make money although in fact it is completely wrong.
Gambling is not the easiest way to make money, but it is the fastest way to make money as well as to lose money at the same time.
Coming up to the real reason why people go gambling, it depends on the gambler.
Some gamblers may use gambling as a way to spend their spare time and money, some others do it to try their luck, and maybe there are some other reasons.
All in all, most gamblers do gambling to make money by risking their own money.

Why do people go into gambling?

I don't think there is a universal reason.

People go into gambling for different reasons. Some do it for fun, while others do it for the thrill of the game. But, a lot of people also do it in the hopes of winning big money. When you gamble, you're essentially taking a risk. You're putting some of your money on the line, and if you're lucky, you might end up winning a lot more. So while there are some common reasons why people might go into gambling, the exact motivations can be highly individual and influenced by a wide range of factors.

Yes, many people are attracted to gambling because they believe it is an easy way to make a lot of money quickly. This is often fueled by stories of people who have won big jackpots or professional gamblers who have made a fortune. However, it's important to note that gambling is never a guaranteed way to make money, and most people who gamble will end up losing more than they win in the long run.

It is done for a variety of reasons, including recreation, socialization, financial gain, escapism, and addiction.

Gambling is a personal decision that involves risks and potential consequences. Understanding the risks of gambling and making an informed decision based on your personal circumstances, values, and goals is critical. If you choose to gamble, it is critical that you do so responsibly and within your means, and that you seek help if you believe you may have a gambling problem.

People gamble because they think they can make easy money, because they want an adrenaline rush or because they want to socialise with friends. Not all gamblers are problem gamblers, some do it as a recreation.

Gambling like alcohol is a vice and can be a problem when done excessively. People should only gamble what they can afford to lose.

When I started to gamble in 2014, it was because I thought I can make money if I am gambling, that I can be different and learn more about it, but I later found myself in the middle of depression and addiction, losing more than I should and gambling became a problem for me. I was so stupid because I was greedy. I have some people that joined just gamble for fun, I have some of my friends that joined because I am gambling.

IMO the reason people start gambling varies from person to person and influenced by the nature of the environment the person is. People who stay in an area where Casino houses are like major businesses and they are built in a way that people visit to relax, and have fun playing games. People who start gambling in this area are usually attracted to it because it is seen as a fun activity.

In other areas where the economy is not so good and people are looking for ways to make extra money, their decision to begin gambling will largely be influenced by the thought of making money.

The way gambling is now structured it's not in any way meant to make anyone rich, and people that understands this idea that the gambling companies aren't charity homes have taken gambling to be just a leisure activity for fun, and time cruising subject even as they are careful not to loss their themselves financially into it. Coming to your observation of people engaging into gambling cause they see it as easiest way to make big money, I think people with such perspective towards gambling are a lazy-poor sets of persons and the truth is gambling is just a game of luck entirely, it doesn't promise wealth.

That's not entirely true.
-snip

I think by means that it was easiest, It’s simply because you will have a chance to win big with just one lucky bet compared if you do an investment which will require you a lot of time and effort just to earn big.

Easiest way to win and lose at the same time to be exact. Betting all-in money is not hard. The only hard part is accepting the consequences if you lose the bet. So technically gambling is really an easy method to have a possible huge win.

That's not entirely true.
Always remember, the house will always win. That means the gambling platform already have the upper hand against you. What you want to do is lessen that by playing wisely.
You can try poker games where usually it's a battle of players and casinos just take a part of the whole pot for maintenance and the venue.
Sports betting is also a good idea, many gamblers have stories about winning here more than casino games like Blackjack, slots, dice, etc...
In my case, I pick both poker (back when I still have time to go to the venue and before the pandemic) and sports betting. I can somehow increase the chance to win although losses cannot be prevented.
Just enjoy the added excitement provided by betting on your favorite sports and you will definitely not think about it's all just for making money.

This is true. This is the number one reason why people gamble and the minority is just gambling just to have fun during their vacation or day-off from job like me. Gambling offers an instant win to your money which you can’t get on any investment platform that’s why most of the gamblers are those who have a short patience. This is the reason why the majority of gamblers loss because they are playing reckless just to have quick profit.

People go into gambling for different reasons. Some for the right and others for the wrong ones.

The right reason is to seek for entertainment, a moment of pleasure which be enjoyed alone or with a group of friends making guesses and trying strategies and methods together.

The wrong reason is to consider gambling an extra income, investment method or side job in order to raise money for a living.

Despite the reason which has taken you to gamble, the most important aspect is to make sure it's not prejudicing your mental and finalcial health.

Not really. And I would say that it is mainly the money that attracts people, the entertainment is a side effect, not something you look for when you first decide to gamble. Eventually when you know what it's all about, you can dedicate a small part of your budget to gambling as many of us do, partly for entertainment and partly because you have a chance of making some money that week.

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.

To this I would add that this is what people think, but it's not very easy to hit a big jackpot, and usually by the time people hit it they've already spent more money than they got out of it, if you take into account all the sessions. 99.99% of gamblers lose money in their lifetime if you add up everything they bet and everything they win.

Another thing to add is that they are looking to make a lot of money with little effort, because setting up a successful business or having a very well paid salaried job and building up their wealth through savings and investment requires a much greater effort than gambling on slots or other games.

But for an experienced gambler, he know if he's high likely will lose in gambling and wouldn't make money through gambling, so the main reason why he's gambling is to kill his boredom and for entertainment. If you're a gambler and want to minimize your lose, it's better if you gamble on sports where you can't constantly keep gambling.

Mostly for entertainment, rarely just for "scoring" a big hit because they "really need it." You would be surprised how many people play it just for the fun factor, but the thing is, we always hear about those edge cases where people are serious gamblers who lost/gain huge amounts of money.

Other than money and entertainment, are there any ither reason to do so? Well, players who are here for entertainment are few for sure. Most of the people here engaged to gambling simply because of the belief that this is a way to be rich. Well, indeed there are really people who made fortune out of gambling such as with lotteries but unfortunately, it is quite 1:1000000 probability for an individual to be in such situation. More players are losing; let us face the truth. But for players, the slightest chance is enough for them to believe that the one of a million individual could be them.

Money is that powerful but never the root of all evil; it is one's intention. Money could almost give you everything which makes it an enough reason to take risks or to simoly gamble their fate. Who doesn't want to be rich anyway? Also if there is an "easy" way to do so, why not? These ideas are simply pulling people towards this industry. And we just cannot stop it that simple. It takes one's initiative to do so whether to engage or not.

We have two major reasons why people go into gambling or develop interest for it, the first is because of having fun and a means to create a pleasurable moment to whine away time, secondly is to make money, this is very common because many were frustrated to the extent that they only rely on gambling for their sustainability in life, they play bets, sone work for gambling companies and get paid while other provide services such as predictions and odds for games, matches and other gambling event while others work as operators of the gambling casinos, as long as you earn a living or make fun with gambling and get satisfied, then your reason for gambling is being fulfilled.

Because it is fun and pumps a lot of adrenaline into your blood stream, actually.
Haven't you ever gambled with your own money or in a video game (back in the day when it was still possible for small children)?.

It is about the uncertainty or whether you could get your way or not with the chances you are taking.

There is a game called "crash", you should read about it, in my opinion is very entertaining and one of the most exciting games one can find in online gambling, because it offers you the chance to "easily" double your money or even multiply it for thousands times, but it also has the chance to make you lose, of course. only the premise of the game is exciting and not for the faint of heart Wink

, that is one of the main reasons people gamble, OP.
