Topic: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? - page 3. (Read 4836 times)

Though i'm only playing to have fun, I still prefer to gamble using real money and not just by trying the demo mode. Because in playing the live game, there's an excitement every time i'm placing bets, therefore the experience is different. But anyway, this depends on what we prefer and so if you feel satisfied even just playing the demos then that's good, no risk of losing money.

Nevertheless, regardless of what's your way to entertain yourself, make sure that you have discipline. Because spending too much time and money are not a healthy habit and there's often a consequences, either good or bad.

Those who are capable of losing money without feeling any regret will be the ones who don't mind losing money in exchange for the chance to win bigger amounts.  When other are enjoying their games with beverages and snacks, some people do not want to mix the pleasure.  They wanted the pleasure to be solely given by the gambling games and the possible winnings they can get.  But I do not mind having fun munching snacks and drinking beverages while observing gambling games in a demo mode.  Since the pressure of risking something is not available in playing demo games thus, the essence of gambling that brings excitement and tension is not present in demo games.

So you tried forex? Feeling you. We all think "I've got this!" but then realize "Nah, not today." Also happened to me! I heard you played games, right? Demos are best. Who wants to lose real money when you can muck up phony money? Slots, though? Slots are dazzling and beep-beep, like a screen party. This multiplier thing is cool. You say "Woohoo" when it's high and "meh" when it's low. However, you can enjoy it with a burger and beer. Who cares about winning? For enjoyment, sometimes you can just watch things spin while eating. Cheers to spinning and sweets

Well, months ago I started trading forex, and I just started with real money, because I looked at all the trading tools and I was like, oh, I know, and just starting out, I was wrong, so these things happen to you sometimes. for not trusting well, or for believing that one knows everything, and there I lost some money entering, and later I recovered it, but really that happened for having confidence, now every time I enter an exchange in a casino game if they have I don't miss the demo option, I use it because they prefer to make a mistake there and not with my money, because if I lose due to malpractice it is already my responsibility.

In games things can be very different, each person has their level of understanding and maybe the game they are going to play does not need to be practiced because they already know everything, so that is something else, but the truth is that I know the game From memory, I go into it and start doing my normal moves like I don't know, I take advantage of the demo mode, in fact even in slots I like to use the demo mode to see what a slot brings so much excitement and so on. I adjust to what I can take in emcoines, and in possible profits.

Always in slots, it's good to see the maximum multiplier that can be drawn, if it's 10x and more, it's a slot worth risking, otherwise, I play the same but I don't bet much, because it's obvious, we play where I have more chances to win, however, as I have said on many occasions I play slots to relax, I put them on my computer, I buy a good beer, if I can buy a hamburger and I have a very nice time, I don't care if I lose, I have little money to lose, but if I see it as fun, I don't do it to look for profits because otherwise it would stress me out, so that's my strategist based on slots, there are many players who are fans of slots, but to me In particular, I like to enjoy this game to the full.

Demo accounts are nothing but a child's play to groom you get familiar with gambling or trading as the case maybe, you cannot call it for gambling without money because you aren't yet gambling but learning, once the money is involved then betting has to take place and you can now qualify being a gambler, another thing to consider is that how will the casinos make their own money if money is not involved in gambling, how will they cope and will everyone want to bet with money? Gambling without money is no gambling at all.

Lol, what you experienced also relates to what I felt at the beginning. And also I think our minds matter, I don't mean when we play with a demo account, we won't think about losing, because it's not real money and when we win it's just a win and we can't enjoy it.
The gambling sites will definitely be smart, they do promotions in any way, including in ways like what we are talking about here.
I have experience of this, my friend played a demo account and he kept losing, then he thought maybe with real money he could win, and you know what the result is? yes he still lost. Lol. pathetic



And that's a lot of experience, as I said above, they must also be good at enticing their users to deposit and play with a real account immediately. And the result is still defeat, I know it will be very upsetting, because I also have the same experience. Therefore we should not expect, because disappointment is likely to be greater than we want. It's a temptation, so don't be tempted and force yourself, especially if you force yourself by using the money available for other purposes to pursue a demo account.

Nobody should deceive me with Demo account oh! Demo account is used by the casino or trading website to lure you play the real account games. I have tried it and "experience is the best teacher". I opened account with a casino and used demo account to test the casino and the way I was winning was impressive and one of the gamblers in my locality told me that the way I winning with the demo account is the same way I will be winning with the real account. Omo!!! I didn't waste time to switched the demo to real account and I deposited $150 to see if I could win then I noticed that demo is demo and real account is real account. I lost all. Demo account is contrary to real account but you can use demo to practice the casinos.

Yes agree with this mate actually I have been experiencing like this before when I use a guest account and try to play on that site then I always win and then the greedines will take over my mind then created an account and deposited an amount then play on the game that I played before using a guest account. But in reality in my first bet using real account I'll win so I bet again and again but when the time goes by I realize that my deposited money almost gone without knowing that I'll almost loss my deposited money.

Yes, because some see it as playing with counterfeit money does not make sense, but they only see it as the point of playing and, more than polishing themselves in terms of details, in fact I remember that when I started in the world of casinos, the The game that I played the most apart from popker was craps in freebitcoin, then I got stake.com, primedice, and I started playing both but only in dice, and I ended up in Primedice I knew what the objective of playing with dice was, but nevertheless One has to keep observing how the game works well to bet at once, because they will not believe me, but I was wrong several times and betting with real money, obviously I lost, I have never or rarely been wrong in a game and I win, that rarely happens to me.

At that moment, I don't know if it was because of my excitement or because I wanted to play fast, but something like that happened to me a couple of times, even when I go to play poker in any casino I like to do the demo part, because I want to see what the environment is like. game, so I adapt easier and I can have more freedom to play, of course it is my strategy and my way of seeing the game, some can see the game in another way and play well at once, I know myself, sometimes I am a little careless and those things happen to me in the game.

Of course, not everyone thinks like me, others are faster and have very good gaming skills, I have a friend who doesn't lose at poker , I think he has a Gift , I don't know how he can play so well, He tells me that in all poker tournaments he is among the first, and I try to play like him but I can't, lol, I don't know how he does it , he never plays in demo mode either , there are people who are very fast in that sense .

Obviously it is very different, if you play on a demo account then winning will completely dominate you but on the contrary if you play on a real account then losing will accompany you every time you do it. It's clear that they've changed the system and they're using the demo account to promote some of their sites. But the presence of a demo account in my opinion helps gamblers a little because they can play there if they really don't have money to bet, and with that it will treat their curiosity a little, although on the other hand if you win you will not get real results. To be honest, I also often use this method if I want to gamble but don't want to lose money in it. Right, and besides that the purpose of a demo account is really just for a training ground to try out some strategies or get to know the features better there.

And don't forget that the curiosity of using real money to gamble can make people use their money to gamble. They want to get excited when they win some money to get real money from gambling and withdraw the money. Playing gambling in real mode rather than in demo mode will be interesting because they can feel various sensations in gambling. And unfortunately, this makes more people experience loss than wins so they don't feel the joy of getting money from gambling.

That's because the demo account or mode is designed to be able to win more easily even in large amounts and the mistakes of beginners assume real games that risk money are the same as games on demo accounts or modes.
Many gamblers are affected and lose a lot of money because of such notions.
In demo mode we can play easily to win but that can't be called in terms of gambling because we don't spend money or valuable things to bet with the hope of winning and having an advantage.

You can compare playing games on demo mode to practicing trading on simulators. There is no risk involved and you are not really trading but just practicing. And to be honest, practicing is totally different from real trading.
But I think taking demo as an example is not relevant here. OP asked about games where you can win real money without spending any. When playing games in demo mode you don't win anything, except the fun.

You're right, @ Mr. Suevie it is the act of risk taking in a prediction that makes it qualified to be called gambling, according to Wikipedia, gambling is referred to as the wagering of something of value ("the stakes") on a random event with the intent of winning something else of value, where instances of strategy are discounted, moreover in superpicks you're not wagering any money or something of value to make your predictions.
 However superpick is a sports platform where you're allowed to play free games online and win money and also you could predict the exact results of 6 impending matches as well as answering tie breaker questions in different rounds of the game therefore since it doesn't require you to make predictions with money or any valuable items then it can't be referred to as gambling but a free online platform for making predictions.

The risk of losing money is what makes gambling to be exciting at some point which is why demo games version are not all that popular these days because who will be willing to waste time playing games that won't offer any form of reward in the name of a demo when you can utilize the same chance in playing the real live games that will put you in the position to put in all your best just to win the game because your stake is at risk.
So I agree with both of you ops, Demos vs live games are not the same and gamblers prefer to gamble for real instead of just gambling for fun without any potential rewards.

Exactly, gambling involves a risk and a sense of loss, if that is not there then we cannot say that we are really gambling, so those demo games even if they are a perfect representation of what to expect when you gamble for real are lacking the most important aspect of gambling, then it is not surprising that many people do not like to play those demo games at all as they do not feel the excitement that they will feel when risking money on those very same games.

I think that serious sites, even the most serious sites in Las Vegas or Hong Kong, have an extensive big data analysis on the people that play in their sites. I am talking that they probably know better than yourself how much you wage, when, how often, for how long and probably have figured out what is the best way to retain you in the long term.

You're right about that, when we do a lot of things like betting without betting money, there's no way that things like emotions can be done on the skin, we've always been used to being in the game with real money, otherwise we thought it would be the right thing to do. most boring of all, but if we are putting money there it will be the most exciting thing in the world, even if it is for 1 dollar, there is no doubt about that, however, as I said before, things when betting in demo mode at least for me I see it as an educational way , to get to know the game and to see how the game is associated with our tastes, because it is the safest way for us to have access to good things like knowledge, as well as knowing all the tools of a game , we can avoid many mistakes. .

When on a platform they give the Option to play in demo mode, it's for a reason, it's not because in the casino they wanted to waste time or programming there ,in a casino there's Nothing left over or anything to be, everything has its meaning, it could be that if not they have Learned that some Players need to have demo mode to learn and not make mistakes, maybe they have Previously Conceived some complaints about having demo mode to not make more mistakes.

When we play without money, the game can be a bit boring to play in real mode, but when we have the game in real mode it's like everything changes, it's like that magic of winning and not losing, together The way players go maturing , we know how to do and what to do with those Options to take Advantage of them.

When it comes to games, things are always very exciting when there is money, but I don't know if they have applied it, for example when I trade , I prefer to do it in demo mode , if I lose in demo mode, I do it in real mode , if I lose then I Assume, but previously I already did a test, that serves as an experiment, if I win in demo mode I do it in real mode because I already have a little more Security that the market can go in that direction, then in demo mode we can do something similar , I'm not saying it works but it can be a good Technique to save money.

If you do find out that you are a type of person on whose really that having that impulsive emotion when it comes to gambling then its never been that ideal nor smart for you to deal up with it because it would basically be  making you having the high chance on making yourself that get addicted or make out some actions which arent supposed to be done in the first place. Demo games is one of the things on which these platforms would really be offering on which it would be able to trigger out that hidden interest or emotion on which it might be ending up on having that curiosity and interest which might lead into making up some real deposits.
This is why we should really be that careful when it comes into this regard because if you wont really be that wary about on things that you've been doing then you would really be ending up on dealing up with gambling
without even trying out to realize that on what you are been doing. As long you've been wary about your spending or actions been making then it should be fine but never ever tolerate out things
which arent supposed to be done in the first place.

I would say that gambling with demo and not to gamble both are equal. There is no fear of losing with demo. For the consequence of this, a gambler cannot judge what will happen if he takes too much risk or what will happen if he takes too little risk. A gambler can find real excitement when gambling with his hard-earned money. I think for gambling a gambler doesn't need to spend much time to learn his gambling process so he can learn by directly gambling with small amount of money without betting with demo account.
