Count me in with 5.

I'm an occassional gambler and trying out my luck and if ever you see my betting history, you'll see me dice with too high target multiplier. There's nothing wrong with trying out my luck and the amount that's on stake is too high and the amount that I'll bet isn't too high.

Although, you said that it is vulnerable for the gamblers to become addicted including that number. I can say that I can manage myself and I'm not addicted to it.

I am an occational gambler who finds relaxation and entertainment unto it. Gambling is not a quick rich scheme who are maybe the goal of others. Whenever im stressed or bored, i sometimes play and most of the time i finnish my day happy. I play with my extra money so that i am not drawn to being an addict in the future.

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.

No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small
Opposite of this Relaxation, I want excitement, and of course trying my luck to win big in gambling.
Making a living in gambling is my plan but I prove many times it's impossible for me, so I minimize my gambling activity but I am still looking for it.
Gambling has probably enter into my system, I'm not addicted to it, at least I know, but I just love to gamble.

This what I am thinking when I was in gambling, just like me I do occasionally gamble and the purpose on it is to have a relaxation after my whole day work. It makes me feel asleep after 1-2 hours in gambling so in that way I can do sleep earlier rather than to lay down without doing nothing and you can't sleep. So, I have chosen the both option 1 and 5.

Number Five(5). As a gambler, it has occur to me to be careful when it come to gambling becasue, if one does not know his/her limit in gambling, he/she may end up addicted on gambling to his or her detriment. Gamble occasionally, and look forward for luck; is my principle of gambling and it has worked for me till now.

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.


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.

You think the first two don't get addicted to gambling?  You sure about this?
I recently started thinking that gambling addiction has nothing to do with greed but rather a way out of lifelong depression, sadness or worries.

In my opinion, gambling addicts keep gambling in order to keep the depression and worries away from returning. .
To cure this addiction, you have to help the gamblers solve their personal problems first(maybe with something that makes them happy) while gradually taking them off gambling.

To take advantage of my sports knowledge - yes sports betting.

Since Im a basketball enthusiast for a long time now, this is my advantage. Although every games are unpredictable, Im increasing my chances to win because of self-analyzation + instinct. No way I will just rely on luck for this.

Bottom line, I gamble to take profits. Isn't it fun to used my knowledge to gain profits.

I really don't believed on gambling for fun purposes as sole reason. Even rich and high profile gamblers always wants to win even they afford to lose big just for fun.

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 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!

I am somewhere between 2 and 5. I don't gamble on regular basis, but I like to do it from time to time to feel the excitement and tension the game provides and the pleasure of winning something. I am not sure I agree with your take on these five reasons in relation to addiction, though. 1 is most likely a safe reason and 3 is most likely a potential addict's reason. However, 2 can also lead to addiction (people get addicted to feeling adrenaline bursting through their veins, and this can lead not only to financial losses) and 3 might be safe if one is gambling in skill-based games as a professional.

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!

This had always been a reason on my mind on why i do gamble. Trying out some luck at the same time i do entertain myself on playing some games
like dice & slots depending on my mood.When i do see some sports to bet on specially my favorite ones then i might consider on betting on the same day
too.The important thing is that i do only allocate some amounts which is fixed solely to be used on gambling.

2 or 5 are mainly my reasons. I like to gamble but I'm very aware of the money I put in and the risk that comes with it.
That is nice things you said that all of us should aware of it, we should know where we are working and what will be the output for us, risk is the part of life and it is part of every business but if we will know how we can reduce and chance our risk into profit I am sure there will be no more risk but only earning, since now I never lost anything.

It’s better if you just created a poll of this to closely monitor the result.

I’m just an occasional gambler where my friends invites me to play, or when I feel bored surfing online. Occasional gambler are not prone to addiction because they only play when they have free time, and have control with their self. I believe those who are on the “get rich quick scheme” and “Make money full time” are the most vulnerable for addiction, they see gambling as their main source of money.

I surely will! I created this thread from Mobile so couldn't find any option for opening polls. As soon as I get back to my laptop, I will add a poll.


Income is not at in consideration while you are looking to gamble with your hard earned money. If you are love to invest and make the entertainment then you can enjoy in the field of gambling.
If you have own strategy then you will be able to make money also in gambling industry.

I am really not able to understand your point! Investment and entertainment doesn't really go along!

To have fun honestly, I know gambling is not a great source of money and not a way to become rich.
Playing online and on the casinos really makes me feel happy, not unless I think for my money since I spend a lot of money on this before. Those who becomes addict usually on the last 3 part of the choices, you're right on this one because they too focus on the money.

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
Similarly, I gamble to find luck but in addition, I am looking for relaxation because of unexpected results from gambling, it makes me feel very excited and interesting, making money and getting rich quick from gambling, that's really not the words in my dictionary. And I believe that very few people have these intentions and thoughts because it's so obvious, gambling is a form of business and I don't think owners want to get lost when they pour a lot of money into building these casinos.
