As the subject line suggests, the question is very simple, Why do you gamble? The options are,

1. Relaxation
2. Adrenaline rush
3. Get rich quick scheme
4. Make money fulltime
5. Occessional gambler - trying luck

The reason behind this thread is to identify and categorize the trend of why people gamble, especially the players themselves! Because I have seen a lot of people screaming about the bad effects of gambling here! But I firmly believe that all depends on what's your take on gambling!

The first two categories are usually belongs to a safer category who doesn't usually become addicted. However, the next three are the most vulnerable categories where people tend to get addicted! So identify your reason please!

Keeping the topic as self moderated to prevent mass spamming!
I was gambling games just for fun and entertainment i think it is mean relaxation on this thread, and i did not gambling games every time, i will do it depends on my profit from trading alternatives coins and small amount of money in gambling games, so i knew when is good time to play gambling games (usually gambling games based on the lucky dice game) and gambling games was make me happy after trading alternatives coins.

I can fit into the last category,trying my luck when I have spare money to spend.Only people with the intention og get rich quick will say gambling is bad when they can't find a win even they will continue to play by saying that so they are here to make money but tey are the reason behind gambling industry's success. Smiley Smiley

Even me too, although not a full time gambler but part time gambler, i gamble for purely entertainment and often time i do win big. Never had any reason to use my savings for gambling, but can use my remains from expenditures to gamble.
That's the best way one can get into gambling. One should never get into gambling with the funds for the daily living. There are lot of users who have ruined their life spending all the amount into gambling expecting big return in short time period. Very few gets lucky while more users end up losing upon which it is always good to spend the excess fund out of the living needs.

3. Get rich quick scheme
This must be the most appropriate reason why i gamble. Not to be rich quickly but at least double/triple the money i had on hand when i go to gambling sites, that's my objective but with my experience it is not easy to achieve my goal.
I know we want to become rich as much as possible but I think gambling is not a good way for this one. Before you earn big money, you will need to lose money as well. I gamble to earn money but not to become rich, and also to have fun because I know its impossible to become rich if you have a small capital.
As a gambler afraid of risk will not allow the winnings but the enably of risk make winnings come. Gamblers are risk takers and those who are able to take risk are those who have the possibility become rich in gambling. Haven the small capital or big capital doesn't matter but if only you can take the risk, then you might have the winnings.

Actually, I'm not into gambling because I know that the probability if winning is always less so why I mind doing such thing, much better if I just focus to my work. That will be a sure money.

But it doesn't mean that I do not gamble at all, I seldom play lotteries (I think 1 to 3 times a month but I stricly use excess funds only). I do so because I have a neighbor here who won a mega jackpot before which makes me feel a little bit jelous on his success. Now he have cars, land properties and a 3-storey house. I'm just trying my luck, that's all. Who knows? Maybe I will be the next millionaire? Lol.

Anyway, I guess my case belongs to the 5th option.

I gamble mostly for the adrenaline rush I get from it and potentially for the chance to win big. There's not many other places where I can get a rush of adrenaline and excitement to the degree that I get from crypto gambling, and I like to try my luck with things every once in a while too. The odds might be low and against you, but there's always the chance you could get massive winnings from gambling.

Gambling can also be relaxing for me if I come home from a long day of work and I'm looking for something to do at home that doesn't take a lot of energy to do. Even better than gaming for me personally.

The reason I bet is to try luck and expect to get money quickly and not a scheme to get rich quick. Three downward sequences will indeed cause addiction and will have a bad impact if you don't have control.
I also gamble because i want to try my luck sometimes and make profits from it.I know that if i keep on gambling,i will surely lose my extra money so i prefer to gamble only occasionally particularly with some of my close friends.I have learned from my past experiences with gambling and so i am aware already what gambling could cause to someone's life if you focus yourself to gambling.

1. Relaxation
5. Occasional gambler trying for luck

Two reasons why i play gambling but sometimes relaxation do lead into stress when you are losing money
and this is the sad fact for most gamblers out there.

Well the main reason I choose to occasionally gamble is the rush that I receive just knowing at any time, I can hit a jackpot.
If I am playing slots for a say 15 minutes, I am content if I only lose a few bucks and even more happier if I win anything.
Anyone thinking they can gamble daily and constantly win needs to check basic math.

I used to gamble a lot but I hate it now, the rush I once used to love turns into fear and anxiety. I absolutely hate gambling now and I'm glad because I save money lol. No one wins at gambling in the long run.
For you to hate gambling this much, I am sure you must have lost alot from it, But on the contrary not your ideology of no one winning in the long run is incorrect. There are many winning and who will continue to win but gambling game require a lot of skills and wisdom to play. In gambling, if you jump in without experience, I can assure you will jump out soon with record of huge loses.

Although I do not know your experience with gambling and I wish you can share but many times I have seen that 80% who has lost terribly in gambling loose because of greed. Please lets know your experience, I am sure someone would learn from you

Winding down.
At first, when i started gambling a few year's back. I tried my luck to get rich quickly, but it didn't work for me and i lost all my funds. Now, i gamble occasionally and try my luck with as much amount as i can afford to lose.
Gambling with amount you can afford to lose is the best way to gamble and reduce the risk involved.  I think we are in this to make money and not to lose it and because of that it is good we gamble with profits we made from investing.  For op questions,  I do gamble to make profits!
I admit i was once a full time gambler but it didn't end up positively and so i learned now that it's better to only gamble occasionally so i won't keep losing my money. Of course i gamble to make profits but we should not gamble seriously but only make it just kind of entertainment to have fun and at the same time to make profit if i'll be lucky that day.

Gambling is used as relaxation but looking for luck is what I do now with not too much to always bet because I realize victory will not always take sides despite how much you bet, the get rich quick scheme is not my type personally because I prefer to walk slowly and calmly maybe I will choose another advantage of printing options rather than focusing on gambling because it is very risky where the percentage of expenses and profits is very different so don't let your money come out in vain, each bet must be arranged very well and with all the knowledge you make.
Gambling is a thing that cannot be ascertained, for me gambling is not a way to make a profit. The gambling game is far more a way of looking for fun, so don't ever target profits, when we use it as a way to make money, we will always get stressed and we can get addicted. That is a bad thing because when we get addicted we will be difficult to get rid of and it makes our lives far worse.

You really think no one wins in gambling? How about the skilled/professional gamblers like the poker players?  I guess you played alot of the gambling that are based on luck or you weren't that skillful in those particular gamblings.

I think he needs to search on Google about the person who can win in gambling. I am sure that he will find one or more gamblers who win in many games. I am sure that in the poker game, many gamblers have a high-skills can win the game but many of them are not publish their winning story to other people.

1. Relaxation.
I do it with my free time at weekends and also with my excess money when all my necessities are already bought and bills are paid.

5. Trying my luck.
Well I think all gamblers have this in their mind.
If ever lady luck gets near them then it will be great. If not, then it is also okay. The thing is you should enjoy the game and not pure gambling with just greed in your mind.
