I think most people who gambles do what they do because its fun and it takes their stress and worries away. In that moment all they ever think about is they won then they could go home winning with lots of money. That's what most of them think, it makes them not think of anything at that moment.
For me I gamble because I want to win and beat the house to their game. It's that simple for me. My intentions are clear and it motivates me enough to play rather than playing for fun.
I wish to win, and every gambler should be self confident, to enter in game without doubt. That makes difference between professional and amateur gamblers. But I don't think about myself as a professional gambler, I like to gamble and win, but I also enjoy in game and sometimes its more fun then playing to win and earn.
I also gamble to escape from some worries and daily nervous, for me its relaxing to sit and play poker, little dices, sometimes slots, to make few nice hands and I think about the game and strategies that I can use and I forget about everything around me.
