There are many reasons why people prefer gambling from gaming. For me it's mostly the time required for each of these. If I gamble I spend an hour doing it and can move to something else. Online gaming requires a lot more time as RPG games are divided into quests and many of them can't be stopped until you reach a safe point. There are boss fights for which you assemble a team and need to reach the destination and win the battle (I played some wow in my time Roll Eyes

) I wish I had as much free time as 10 years ago.

You can gamble even just for few minutes and you are not obliged to finish what you started. The same goes for RPG or any online game but the longer you stay there, you'll become stronger. While in gambling, its opposite the longer you stay the higher risk you have.

This also can be a time related issue why some preferred to gamble instead of gaming.

I just know one reason for gambling instead of gaming online and that is greed for more money. Everyone in this world needs money because the sources of income are less and demands are high. People want to use any short cup way to make money, that’s why they gamble. But they are wrong because nobody can make money in gambling rather lose his own.

We accept that fact and that's tempting to do if you ever know how to gamble. Having a glance on how much you can potentially earn with gambling will encourage you. That's me before but life changes so do mine.

There is an exception, few people make money in gambling and find riches.

A lot of MMORPG actually have gambling elements involved, I think that it's not simply the thrill of victory that is the rationale behind gambling, but instead the thrill of potentially winning a life-changing amount of money, something which can't be done on online games through simple gambling.

I do not know if you have ever tried, but have you tried to play some of the games in a casino without real money? Because if you do you will realize that the games by themselves are not very fun, what adds the thrill and excitement is the possibility of earning and losing money, on the other hand video games are designed with the intention of being fun from the very beginning, so it is very obvious to me that the nature of the games are very different.

This explains why those that gamble are not satisfied by just playing video games, the concepts in which they are based are completely different so a person that gambles for fun is not going to necessarily like video games as a substitute.

Some online games are as well good as Casinos such as faucet games, if we are talking about crypto games.

Yes those type of games are good for pastime if you really don't have something to do with your time but these games aren't the ones that was described by the topic starter. Online games like those MMORPG, MOBA, combat FPS and other types of same game. I enjoy both games, gambling games and online games but I usually stay with online games when I'm enjoying.

Yeah you are right it is good to play online games for time pass instead gambling and losing money. The problem is this that those who are gambling addictors will gamble only and they have no interest in online games. There mentality is only to win big money in short time and that’s why they gamble online, but the results are always against their well.

People have their own mind to know what is the right, good or bad for their future. And they have there own self to make there own decisions in life. So instead of playing online games no they are not but to go and play gambling is one of their priority in daily life style.

Yes, they have their brains, they're minds to know or tell them what is right and what is wrong for them or maybe for their future but still, I am wondering. Why there are still a lot of addicted gamblers if they know or can tell the difference between right or wrong? Gambling is well, not that wrong but it will lead you to the bad side of your life.

They should realize by now how bad Gambling can affect their lives and not just their lives, they will also be affecting the lives of their families, their parents and their siblings and I think that is the worst effect gambling can give.

I wonder why people start gambling when they feel dissatisfaction and loneliness. They can engage themselves in some good hobbies, like gardening, reading books, helping needy people. If he interacts with people he will forget his loneliness and depression will come out of his mind. But if starts gambling he will increase his dissatisfaction and loneliness.

I think those who are gambling because of loneliness and depression are those that doesn't want to deal with people. Being around people will just remind them of their loneliness. They have to open up to people and not do activities with them. Perhaps they don't know anyone who they can confide in. Gambling and other similar activities allow you to escape reality momentarily. This is why a lot of people keep on doing the same bad habits that they have. It allows them to have a little bit of comfort in their world full of discomfort. So sometimes these addictions aren't really because they are hooked on the thing. It's more because they feel like they need it in order to feel normal.

Many but not all gamblers are claiming they gamble for fun and pass time. I was just thinking. If it is the reason why people gamble then why not play online games? There is a lot of good and challenging onlne games wherein you can interact with other people online?

First factor I am seeing : If you're a kid , you like to do or to play online games than gambling or even online casinos. They find it quite boring. Meaning to say, age plays an important role. If an individual is mature enough, it will choose online gambling than games.

Second factor I am seeing : we can earn money in gambling (although not necessarily 100% chance of winning) but still there is a chance to earn money. In playing games we get nothing.

I think the best answer for that is many people believe that because they say gambling is for their past time and they want to have also earnings while having past time. Unlike in online game many people don't earn while playing unless they are in a tournament. But for me I believe that if people wants only to kill time or past time I also suggest them to play online games rather than gambling in order to avoid losing of money and save it.

Why do people prefer to gamble to spend a lot of time rather than playing games? Because they gamble of course with the aim of winning and making lots of money. I think gambling is more fun than playing games. Grin

You are right; the aim of gambling is not fun rather they want to make money in an easy way. These people are living in the heaven of fools. They know that gambling is not a way of making money but a way of losing money. You will earn money with hardships and lose just in minutes in gambling. Sensible people never gamble because they know the consequences of gambling.

People have different thoughts about this. Online games is a good way to put the time pass without even spending lots of money, but there are also people looking for past time and at the same time finding ways to win something like money. Gamblers are different than gamers, that's why they share the same world in online technology because they both are just letting the time pass and also for recreation purposes.

So we can still play the game while we can also place the bet inside the game. Sometimes we can play games online especially on the android phone because I see that many of my friends playing mobile legends although they are playing gambling too. I think they are very selective to choose the games online and they only want to play the game if the games have an attractive story and some of them like the adventure game. But still, they told me that they still choose to play gambling than the online game.

I gamble for one reason only and that’s to make money. For those who claim that they gamble for just entertainment, I believe and know that there are so many other sorts of entertainment that’s not going to cost a lot of money if entertainment is what they truly seek.

Well i think its because they cannot find the happiness they are looking in online gambling. In online gambling we cannot find new set of friends, we can just log on if we are stress on work but doing it alone is not a stress reliever. It will just double the stress you are facing.
Also the gambling can bring you happiness when you won, some colleagues will celebrate it with you, and it will give you money.

I mainly just stick to sports bets. I just won .006 BTC betting on the Rams yesterday on Nitrogen Sports. Thats the only time I gamble online as the house only earns a small fee no. There are no disadvantages!

Sports betting is more of a long term kind of thing, ideal for someone who follows that sport closely. Theres always a chance the person betting has a better grasp of the true odds then the book maker themselves. I do like that aspect but its hard to get really nice odds on a bet, usually it works best where the odds have been swayed strongly by the crowd themselves and ended up unrealistic because fans can be looking at glory too much over realistic outcomes.

In that case I'd say the best odds are vs other players, the house just sets up a standard set of games to get people involved

In both of them, you spend your time but in gambling you could earn some money, also you could lose your money so, if you don't want to take a risk, you can go with playing games Cheesy

I think both are enjoyable.

If you don't finish what you've started in an RPG game you won't get anywhere. I know what he's talking about and these are "instances". If you've ever played games like Tera online, Vindictus, Diablo 3, you know what instances are. If you don't finish one you won't get the reward, which means that you won't gain anything. I think that comparing gaming to gambling can be done only if we also compare the rewards.
