Topic: Why do you even gamble? - page 17. (Read 3914 times)
I only gamble for fun, I like the adrenaline rush when I played the games, but if you gamble until you sacrifice your family and you put all of your fortune then it is not a good gambling behavior, it is almost point to addiction direction, if you can't control yourself then I won't suggest you to gamble at all, because it can lead you to something negative and it can lead to do criminal things
I gamble but i live a life of moderation, so i play only just to relief stress and boredome. But the truth is we should really avoid gluttony and other vices which may forget our work, friends, family and studies.
You are talking about seek addicted people. Their cases are well known, cause of it's terrible destiny and people love to pay attention on it. I also have such subjects in my family. But I think you forgot that gambling can take some simple form like gambling for fun or just points. I gamble with bitcoin and I don't count it as something serious, for me it's just a way to spend my free time and chill.
Well the reason why i gamble is because i am enjoying playing poker, it is the only way for me to enjoy my free time after work in short it is my leisure.
This is one of the reason why I am playing gambling games too. Aside from the thrill and enjoyment, i have a chance to book the jackpot price which is actually a huge sum of money. Eventhough I am attracted to the price, I make sure that I keep myself controlled and I always try to moderate my gambling activity.

This post is not intended to criticize gamblers, i am just curious what drives a gambler to really gamble even when the odds are against him or even reach the point where he'd rather lose everything he has than to stop doing his gambling addiction. I said the following because i have seen friends and some relatives on my mother's side literally lose everything they have like family, wealth etc. and only a few managed to stand up again. And some of that few still gamble to this day. And an uncle was found dead from a gunshot wound, whoever did it was unknown. But rumors say that it is one of all the guys he owed large money and never payed. While a friend(not close, just a neighbor) died from suicide because his wife left him along with his 14y.o daughter and 3y.o son. Now, I ask this because i dont get it. I just don't. I mean is it even worth it? If you ask me, i don't know. That is why i am asking. And the reason why i did it here is because we all know i can't ask a gambler with this kind of questions face to face because doing that would mean mean that I wanna start a fight. I mean that might how a gambler reacts to this kind of question. Please share your thoughts on this.
First time gambling is due to friends influence or out of curiosity. Then the next would be of different reason, wanted to win a stake and earn money or just wanted to entertain. Gambling is not bad as long as it is moderated but, the same with other stuff, too much of it will give us negative effect. Same thing as being hooked and at the end addiction. I myself gambling because of entertainment and profit but I make sure I am on top of it meaning I can control myself.
Not really, but yes I was kind of indirectly influenced by many people and also from movies. Mainly the fun side of it attracted me to learn more about it.
Sports gambling was legal online betting platform, which even made me think about it more. But I don't gamble always, its just for fun. Not addicted to it really, but it comes in my mind sometimes quite often, but I can control the desire.
I gamble because i really enjoy this game, it is one of my best mean of entertainment and the most enjoyable for me.
Despite winning money and spending your passes in good thing, which is beneficial and profitable if the luck honors you.

first of all the fun part , you can't imagine the joy I have when I'm playing poker or watching a sports match that I have placed bets on
I also play some -EV games that I enjoy , but of course I gamble less in these games
the second part is money , since I play some +EV games I was able to make some money from them and I'm not talking about tens of thousands but still good to have good time and win some money

Almost all of the gamblers gamble just because they want to earn an easy profit on it. Like me reason in gambling is to earn and other say its for fun and which is considered a luck or winning because winning gives fun. The whole idea is gambling is addictable games when we won and that is the main reason of playing gambling.
I hope people realize that you can gamble provided you mostly play it for fun and enjoyment and not just with a objective that you will play and win at the end of the day. If this is the case then yes there are full chances that this person will get addicted to it and chances of losing the amount will be more than earning it. Because the longer you stay in casinos or most frequent you play losing probability is more than winning.

"Fun" and "Money" would be the main thing why do people or gambler do really like to play it. This is the fastest on making money in an instant and we do all know that and for those people who dont really like to hassle theirselves on making money then they would surely fall into this field on where they do believe that gambling would really give on the thing that they do seek but in the end they are really risking their lives if they do let addiction will eat em up.Yeah too much playing can lead to addiction and you can't have fun of your motives will always profit, so you have to consider all things not to over react with such emotional thoughts here. That's true an addicted gambler could not feel fun at all if he's out of money and how worst is you touch your wealth just to play fun games from gambling. Have better self control and always gamble with confident and not doubtful with your bets.

I think most gamblers gamble because winning even in the sense that you've already lose gives you a sense of contentment and pride. Taking something back that you've lost or even winning something gives you a different kind of feeling. Some even gamble to have fun and relieve stress. There are thousands of reasons why people gamble.
that's a very sad story you should also know everyone also has different thoughts. I am not a gambling addict who will still gamble despite losing everything and giving up losing just like that. I gamble for profit and if I lose I always manage my money to gamble so as can as possible not loss.
I always play casual i don't want to get addicted too much in gambling since i see my self become poor in there and lose everything i just play gambling when i feel bored and feel that i can win or doubled my money and after that i don't play for a week nor month because i don't want to lose that profit i already made.

I feel sad as you said about your uncle's suicide, it is really worried thing. But every sad story have a big mistake. When we forget our family and do whatever we want to do then the end is very bad. Not only in gambling, we should see ourself in all point of views. But in gambling we get lesson deeply and this lesson always sad us. I also see many sadness stories about only addicted gamblers not a player of gamblers.

As a gambler I'm interested to reply your thread, in fact it is very apprehensive if something bad happens in the gambler's life. The passions that make the gambler so frustrated, the uncontrollable emotion crumbling apart. I gambled just for fun, but when I lost my emotions messed up until it and lost all the money in my wallet.
