Bitcoin Forum

I realize this question was probably raised before, but I believe that the answers might be changing with time, because bitcointalk community grows and because the interests and needs of people can become different in years. I recall a video on addiction that explained that people mainly become addicted because of feeling sad and lonely. When I made a thread about whether gamblers think that gambling addiction has the same reason, the answers differed a lot. Now I am curious what kind of people are gambling here. Are they mainly looking for money, excitement, socialization? Please vote and leave a comment below in case you want to add something to your answer.

I personally think it's money and also the excitement of gambling and the rush of winning money; the former is a big part of why I gamble, mainly for the rush of gambling that I don't often get anywhere else. I do obviously want to make money as well, but I don't ever gamble more than I can afford. I've been doing this method of gambling since I got into cryptocurrency in late 2014-early 2015, and this system has worked for me since then.

I've noticed something else in this thread as well- it seems you can only click on one response in the poll. Is this a limitation of the forum, or is there a way to configure this so that more options can be chosen at once?

I voted to earn money because as a gambler myself, that's the reason why i'm playing and not because of entertainment or anything. I wanted to have a big money in a short period of time and gambling can fulfill that even the chances are slim. Once you decided to play, big or small delosit, your aim is to win and not because you are seeking fun or whatsoever.

OP can we have some options added to the pool like "want to try my luck",because my main reason for the gambling is to try my luck from time to time which maybe fall under get some excitement option but still trying luck is more on to the point why we are gambling.

Good suggestion, I also want to suggest OP to add "spending spare time/having fun/entertainment" although most people gamble for money but I myself gamble for spending spare time as well as spare money obviously and I believe I'm not the only one who gamble just for fun. Or maybe having fun is something which is considered as "its just a habit"?

It is very relevant option which can be added as generally gambling is all about the luck in majority of the games and people try their luck if they can win big or not. Hope they can control them self and if they lose will move away and  not continue for longer time else will lose more rather than winning it.

If I could vote 2 I would choose 2 option and I think for me in the way that I gamble I would choose first is I just want to try my luck, I surely gamble from time to time is to just try my luck, I am not a competitive gambler and I am just a casual gambler It means for me gambling is just one of many forms of recreational activities and I have a variety of other hobbies and interests,

And the second that I choose which for me is never that important and there is a thinking that gambling has a risk involved in it is for the sake of money, And yes I really think that most gamblers will sure consider the money they can take home, All gamblers will think that way, But I just choose this as a second option or just a bonus when I try my luck.

Thanks for your feedback, I did not think that people mainly gambled to earn money. I mean, it makes sense that people want to increase income, but I thought is was pretty obvious that the majority of people loses money in this field and only a couple of games even allow theoretically to have regular income.
I added both of the options, thanks for suggestions. Well, I guess it could be considered a part of the habit, but it still deserves to be a separate option, because when I wrote 'habit' I meant something people do on regular basis without getting anything positive out of it, while if people gamble during free time, they probably feel like there's something pleasant in it for them.

Habit are something we used to do it in daily basis as you said,only the gamblers who cam here for money or they consider this as job will have the habit of gambling everyday but as hobby we like to do it for somethings like getting patience or spending our free time on it.But more people coming into gambling for making money with trying their luck.

Most of the time it's because of winning money even they just said it's only for fun or to spend free time but mostly that's the main reason, you're betting money so you desire money as well.
And yes, there are times I only try my luck for just penny to gamble with and not expecting with a bigger win or so but the end of the day even I win there's still times I got bad luck in personal life lmao.

The amounts I gamble aren't going to break the bank.  I see gambling as a fun side hobby and it makes sports a lot more exciting.  Matches have become kind of boring unless I have money riding on a game.  I suspect most people are just after easy money but I have a good time even if I lose.

I want to try my luck, that's it.  :)
Trying my luck with small amount to fetch decent amount. I'm not addicted and I'm not a professional gambler but I enjoy as well while I'm trying out my luck. There's no need to go further with that and the amount of money that I'll gamble is limited.

Seems like I'm the only one voted on the poll for:

It's a way to spend free time for me

We have different reasons yet each people do have different insight when it comes to gambling. Those things above are common reasons.

First I did gambling to get money, but as time went by I did not find satisfaction when getting money and then used as a tool to gamble again. Finally, I thought gambling could not be used as a place to get money passively, sometimes I could get a lot of money but too much I had to spend a lot of money because I was hooked to continue making bets. Because it was considered unnatural, I had paused to gamble and lead a normal life. But the habits that have occurred some time ago I cannot forget, I finally gambled again on the grounds that I wanted to satisfy my passions to make me happy.

The common reasons would be to earn money and only handful of people who are clever would enjoy the time and entertain them self. As this would not stress them even if they lose money would consider it fine as a entertainment fees or something like that but same case if people who want to make money from the gambling start losing their stress level also start increasing.

For us is to try our luck, try new games. we always have a fixed Budget to play with every month, we never play for more than we can accept to loose.

It is to try my luck to earn money but I do it only on my free times with the small money that I can afford to lose. It is very enjoyable when the lucky day has come but at the other days, it will be so sad when the luck doesn't come. As long as I don't ruin my financial, gambling as I hope won't make me crazy to chase huge amount of money, I will keep doing it.

The main factor in gambling is of course because of money, they gamble with the aim of earning large amounts of money in a short time. Despite the fact of the defeat they get from gambling, yes maybe there are also those who gamble because of hobbies only or just want to find new friends or business relations.

Everyone is different, but I'm sure most of the main reasons for gambling are looking for profit or money. This is because gambling can generate profits easily and in large numbers, making many people are gambling. I personally gambled to make a profit, but I was still within reasonable limits so I did not become addicted.

Well with your choices, it could either be one or all. I'm pretty sure most gamblers have several reasons why they spend time and money on the betting table. Curiosity, the wants and needs for essy money, the excitement, you could add a whole lot more reasons for a gambler.

I know the risk of gambling, it will make you loss eventually BUT !!
When I see people win massively , when there are massive promo , sometimes attract me to do something about it.
So when I try to gamble , I know that I'm going to loss but I'm also curious about my luck so I keep gamble for some time !

Making money is easy as within seconds you either win or lose out completely that simple it is. But losing ratio is more than winning chances and this difference is where lies the success and failure from gambling. If you are on winning side you should be happy and move away rather than becoming too greedy and continuing to play and lose out in the end.

The only closest option to me was "it is a way to spend free time for me" but it doesn't really tell the whole story. There is no option that puts the entertainment value of gambling into perspective. There are about 30 billion dollars spend on gaming every single year, when I say gaming I mean games like red dead redemption and gta and counter and what not. Now those people think that those games are fun and spend 30 billion dollars together.

I know gamblers do not play for entertainment all the time but there must be some people who do not like games like that but spend that money into gambling instead. Playing poker with 8 other people and waiting for that river to be your card so you can take the whole pot is just too entertaining to stop. Hell even zynga from facebook made a whole company based on "fake money" poker where they literally sell chips to people and make money so they are basically gambling company looking gaming company. Hence, I think entertainment value just like playing a game should not be overlooked.

I voted for "to make money". There are some other reasons like fun but they are secondary. The main reason is always money.
Some people come for money and stay because they get addicted or because they are winning. There's really not many people who do it for for fun.

Gamblers wants to earn money and that is why they continue to gamble even if they already know gambling is a risky game. This is the key reason why gamblers are keep on coming back to the casinos or gamble online, they are thinking about making easy money.

Well, its ok to be different sometimes. This can be the reason for the oldies who just want to enjoy their life and make their time worth it. If you can afford to lose money then spending your free time in gambling is pretty good.

Most of the people gamble for the money, they are looking for some activities that can make money in an instance, that is why there are many people addicted to gambling, some people looking for excitement and way to release stress, hoping that the excitement could make them earn some money, so actually gambling is almost all about money, the difference between good gambler and addicted gambler is how they control themselves to stop

Sometimes I play gambling because I just want to try my luck, sometimes with my spare time depending on a situation and I am not addicted to gambling, I don't know to others who are addicted to gambling because most of them want to earn money because of greediness and that js also can trigger their addiction.

I vote for "It's a way to spend free time for me" ;D I see that people choosing "I want to try my luck" in the first position and yes, this could be a good reason to know how good our luck but we still need to control ourselves to not stay at the gambling places for a long time. And the second position is "To earn money" which we cannot always earn money, and even we are going to lose more money if we continue to play the game because there is no guarantee for us to make money from gambling.

After reading this thread, I got into gambling a few years back, and I have always known that I want to gamble because I want to earn money. I was foolish with it, thinking that I could gain from the greatest entertainment possible for a human. Focusing on the right strategies and more importantly, the focus to win. As they say, when you are just starting, you will experience the so-called "Beginners Luck," and it would be really satisfying and especially if you are winning with it. It's hard to convert yourself once you have analyzed what gambling has done to you in the long run. You sometimes succeed, and you always lose. That's just what happens in my opinion, there's no easy money in real life, and you just have to be positive.

The important thing is that don't consider gambling as a money-making tool or profiting thing, and it's just not possible.

I have voted for "It's a way to spend free time for me", but it's not that I just want to kill time. The entertainment aspect of gambling is what counts for me. We can't work 24/7, we need some rest, and gambling is what makes me rest much better than some other activities. It's not that it's the only possible way to spend free time, there are, of course, other possibilities, but I really can relax to the degree I need with participating in a poker tournament with $1 buy-in, and I don't know much of other options of relaxation where such a low amount of money is required.

In most case, people join gambling with purpose is that earn a lot of money without working hard, invest a little bit of money only. After winning some of the bettings of gambling, they will be addicted by the temptation of this game.

Personally i gamble in the hope that i would earn money in the process but it is not always the case. Most often i lose money in gambling opposite to my objective to earn money. Gambling is not a good idea if you don't have much money to sustain this vice.

Well I guess a lot of people do too. Gambling is one of the easiest way to earn money and surely, everyone will want to try that so they might be basing the results if that will be a good way to earn money or not but we all know it is not a good way. You already said it, you lose often your money on gambling and that is already a good reason to make some spaces and set your priorities on what and where you should spend your money.

Free time, I do gamble to relax even though I know I will lose in the end.
Being a responsible gambler will help us minimize the risk, I will admit that when I was a newbie in gambling, I think I could make money easily
but in the long run, I realize that winning is hard in gambling and therefore I got matured and just gamble for fun.

Regarding your thread I think again if I experience loneliness the answer is true I'm sometimes lonely and sad to eliminate it by gambling,other than I also want to earn money and I don't know maybe its a habit that I often do with these three reasons Its the right words to describe me in gambling.

People mainly gamble to make money and other just to have a fun and relax time. May not be lonely but it opens up an another way to have the best of the time and meet other who could be like you and get to know each other.

For sure you will have to be ready for both earn and lose. So when you earn be happy and try to focus more on how to increase your money as you mentioned that your only motive to gamble is earning money and when you lose unfortunately then try to figure out that why you lost and try to remove your mistake for the next time because you gamble to earn not to lose.

In my own personal reason on why I gamble is to simply have fun and enjoy the game, I know that there will be certain instances wherein you'll really get frustrated, but as much as possible, I always try to stay positive and know when to win and when to accept defeat, my 2nd reason is to basically earn more money on what I have gotten with my job.

I completely agree with this statement.

Gambling is a great way to earn money since you will be just relying on the luck, the knowledge and skill that you have as a gambler, but mostly on luck. You make wrong choices, you will lose. But if you can't afford to gamble, don't make a decision to do so, you will just lose your money instead of using that certain money for you and your family.

Same perception man. Even me myself I play gambling for the money itself. When Im playing I rely on my skills and my luck on playing a certain game. You cant just win by only having luck. Having a good skill on playing gambling boost your chance of winning.

Gambling to spend my time and to testing my luck that these two reasons why i gambling and i was never considering gambling as good way as source income because it is impossible and with considering gambling as the reasons above i think i have been successfully being not addicted and control myself while gambling

But it depends on the games itself and if we played the games based on the luck only, then you don't need to have a good skill and you only need to have a luck. But unfortunately, we don't know when the luck will come and we can only keep playing to know the luck comes or not and it means, we are risking our money to get lost in the game. Having fun in gambling games will be a good choice if you want to enjoy your free time so you don't have a passion to spend more money.

To be honest, before, my goal was to really earn money. But thankfully, I was able to learn it early that I won't or I will be really having a hard time if that is my goal because there is always the house edge advantage.

However, I still do gamble sometimes, but these times, I only do it for fun especially if my team is playing. I gamble in basketball game.

I don't know if you seriously ask this but there is no key reason to do this or that. You do what you need, always, you do because you get pleasure from it or expect to get it. From casinos, you'll hear one reason: Have Fun. But it's the least reason people gamble, usually they are looking for easy money. Imagine you have 100$, one roll and you have 200, this happened in one second, pretty easy money yeah? Some people in poor countries have to work for one month to get that wage, you did it in second but you can also lose it so quickly even on first attempt. But since therevis possibility of win, it attracts people, it's their main inspiration. On another hand some people socialize as you say, for example communicating in chat, some people feel well when they tip others and they chat: thanks, you are amazing and etc.

I want to try my luck, that's my vote. My philosophy in gambling is that it depends on luck entirely. You can win if you are good but you can win more if you are lucky on a certain moment because it is not everyday that you are lucky.

I voted too, but I`m sure that each of us here like to gamble for more than one reason, trying luck, spending free time, wishing for some profit, emotions that comes from winning and losing. I think combination of all this factors is why I like to gamble, and thats probably same for all other gamblers. Its never one things, its impossible to do something just cause of one thing, whether its gambling, or doing anything else interesting. Luck comes from trying, as long as you try you can get hit by luck, when you dont try you cant get lucky, its life.

I tried gambling to make money through trying my luck but my intention is not only to make money from gambling since I know if we do the we are going to get dissappointed.But there are some other people who just get more self confident and coming to gamle with the thought that they can make money from here,who are the people getting atticted to gambling.

It would just turn out to be a vice when you do make yourself spend too much time with this thing.Money would always be an issue yet you would really need it before you can able to play.
Reason for most people why they do play is for them to gain money on the shortest possible time which can only be achieve thru gambling.

Gambling is about luck those who wins must be lucky allot but I think we cannot entirely rely on luck because I have seen people earning more with skills than only luck. I am not saying luck has no role in progress of your income from gambling but I think we should learn skills too so this way you will reach your goal easily.

In my opinion the keyword of gambling is "ambition" . But not just one kind ambition it changes from people to people . Somone play for winning ambition, some of them play for money ambition,someone just have ambition for those games.I think if someone happy with his life probably he wouldn't gambling because ambition connected to what you want.

If people weren't hoping to get more money they wouldn't gamble at all. What would be your reason for risking money if not to make more money? I don't know anyone who is gambling for fun or to not be bored, because there are much better ways to spend your money. Instead of losing $1000 at the table you could rent out a supercar for the night, pick up some girls, get a hotel room, and have a much more productive evening. :D

I really do not gamble that much anymore but when I gambled more regularly it was simply because I found it more entertaining before, in the game of poker you are not just pressing a few buttons in front of a machine, you need to actually think and try to figure out what your opponent has and why he is betting the way he does, so to me poker is a very entertaining game because I need to constantly think what my opponent has and if I think I can beat them.

Also unlike many games in which you are playing alone in the game of poker you are playing against many people and you can interact with them and you get to know a lot of people that are very interesting.

Some people are just happy to just met people from the casino and some are just fond of playing without thinking about how much money they lose just for the sake of entertainment. And there are some other people that who gamble only for the sake of profit so you can't just tell it if don't know the reason of why they gamble.

No, there are many gamblers who actually do not have any proper reason for their gambling. They simply spend some money on daily basis for their gambling still they cannot state one particular reason why they are gambling because they are not getting a satisfaction level of emotion with their gambling activities as they are not finding the exact result from gambling so they keep trying to find that.

They mostly do gamble just due to the got introduced to it and they do not know how to avoid it. They are finding some soothing from that environment, that could be the one reason but definitely they cannot state that. When you do not have one proper expectation from gambling like that could be making profit or finding entertainment or anything similar to that, how you can justify your gambling activity's core reason. They gamble because they are aware of existence of such a place and their financial situation is also allowing to do so. No other proper reason for sticking with that.

Each of us has different reasons why we gamble. Some people gamble just for fun and thrill. Some gamble because it's their hobby, or it's their way of relieving stress. Some are gambling because they are addicted to it. Whatever the reason is, all of us has one goal in gambling, it is to win.

that is right, the goal of each player is to win no matter what the reason why he/she is gambling.
but at the end of the day, the real winners are not the most of winning but the most of having fun.

I agree, I think it's how a lot of us get started - we think we can make easy money, and when we realize we can't, or that it's not easy money (it's really hard lol), then we are still stuck with the bug and do it for fun. hopefully not losing too much, just the same as going to mcdonalds lol. i would say that using a betting exchange like betfair brought a lot more depth to it than just sportsbook. backing and laying, watching how the markets move in real time, very interesting. good thread!
cheers

There's two reason why I gamble and the primary reason is to have FUN playing online casino. Getting profits from my bets is just secondary.If my main reason is to gain profits, I might end up getting greedy on all my bets and its not fun anymore if I didnt win all the time. That's why I placed Fun as the primary reason, so that regardless if I win or lose, it's entertaining my self, having fun is the goal.

It boils down to money I guess. Specially for those who are hoping to get a windfall and uplift their lives to say the least. Of course we have some good times playing specially if you go to a land based casino but at the end of the day, people gamble to won money and lots of money, those people saying to have some fun will just realised that its very costly, Lol.

Yes, you are right. But unfortunately, not all people can have fun in the gambling games especially if that person is chasing the winning money until he lost all of his money. He cannot get fun in the games, and I guess he will be still curious at the end of the day and he wants to play in the next day until he wins the money. Besides that, the addicted person in gambling will not enjoy the games because his passion is only playing the games without thinking about having fun in the games.

Looking at the poll results its basically a tie between "To make money" and "Its how I spend my free time".

However I have a feeling that those that chose "To make money" they actually end up losing money and those that "its how I spend my free time" are the casual gambling winners.

My guess is that its due to emotions. The ones that do it purely to become rich, they become emotional and end up losing everything. While the ones who gamble from time to time with their friends at the casino, they do it for fun and the main objective isn't to make a profit. So they can actually win something from time to time.

I would say my main reason for gambling is just for pure fun. I would not mind losing because I only play with small bets, set my limits and know when to stop. I am a housewife, I play slot machine in online casino like https://vegascasino.io/promotions?utm_source=cc-vg-1. They have very good offer by the way. I don't find it addictive. Again, just set/know your limits, that's it.

You know, a lot of people here are saying that setting a limit, a good amount in which you should stop when you achieved will be of a great help to you, but most of the gamblers is not like that. They usually gamble all of the money they have in their pocket at that time since controlling yourself on that limit is hard especially if you are winning. I experienced this is in the past, it is easier say than being done.

Those who are saying people gamble for fun and entertainment purpose, think more clearly. If you actually wanted to gamble for "fun" then why are they spending their real life money? There are lots on casino games out there which are free to play. You basically gamble with virtual coins that has no value. Why not play those games for fun? We all know, they do it just for the money.

Well virtual coins is an ironic subject here but people have to attach value in the gamble to feel the loss and the gain or there is no parallel emotion to the event of the win or loss.

Its not just for the money, quite a few people should not gamble if they do not win often enough.  They here for the game, I'm certain of it but that gamble involves money.     The alternative would involve something else with alot more effort, some people gamble their health doing dangerous sports and thats a buzz nothing else can match for them.

    If theres no skill palpable in the game I never really feel a connection in it enough to enjoy, thats my bottom line.

It's a mix of both money and fun. I don't know about you, but I just don't get the same rush gambling with tokens that have no value on a free virtual casino game where I have nothing to lose and nothing to gain versus gambling with money that I have saved specifically for gambling where I care whether I win or not. It's just not the same thing. I don't gamble only for the money, but it's not only for fun at the same time either. It's not really one or the other for me.

Maybe the thrill is what makes gambling really fun. Personally, the thrill of losing or winning money is entertainment for me. If you gamble in a virtual casino, might as well have real money involved in it. It's the thought of having the chance of winning makes it interesting. I agree that it's not the same thing, in reality, people want to earn, maybe more than they really need and gambling makes you feel that it is achievable, no matter the consequences with it.

It's the rush that makes it entertaining. As long as you are capable of being consistent in the long run, and correctly managing your emotions, you won't be disheartened.

Most gamblers are ganbling because they want to earn money and no doubt about it. Who doesnt like money?? Yeah maybe some here are gambling just to spend their free time on it but earning profit is the main reason.

Yes, no matter how small the profits and how much pleasure in gambling, but still the main thing is to get money or profits in gambling. Even though it's just to spend your free time, but you won't play gambling just to spend your money just like that. So making profit in gambling is the main thing in my opinion.

I agree on that.

There are a lot of other things that can make people addicted to gambling and the most reason and most common, obviously is to earn easily money on casinos or gambling sites. There are a lot of people that is successful, as we can see them appearing on shows or tournaments, some of them are having their own businesses thanks to their gambling luck but there are most of them that don't get lucky and still hoping to win a lot of money like the others.

I am sure that in out there, many people using cryptocurrency and fiat to earn money and like you said, we all like money, and we are trying to make money in many ways. Gambling was another ways for us to trying to earn money, but we have another option to earn money, and it's better to use the other way to make money. Besides that, we know that to earn money in gambling is not easy and only a few people that can earn money and they cannot always earn in every time they played gambling.

But there are some people who use gambling as a place to spend money, whether it's because they like gambling or gambling they can restore their feelings. I have friends like that, he has a business and every week he always goes to gamble. I did not understand what he was thinking, but certainly he had found a place to have fun.

It is a different reason in different persons but the main one which I believe is also the most common one is to make some easy and extra money. On the effort to do so though many people go broke and this is not a good thing. The "devil" always shout to us to go play as we will win money by gambling but the trutb is that msot of the time we will lose money.

But why people keep gambling although it's always loss ?
Greed control over people and it's always exist as long as humanity exist. People want to be rich in instant way so gambling is the way for some people although they must overcome the risk.

In gambling view, it's great bussiness especially when cryptocurrency join the party !

The main reason which is money is the biggest problem actually . Beacuse due to which  people lose so much money in gambling and thus also have so many side effects like addiction , borrowing of money etc . Instead of gambling is done for fun it is more better and not to lose money too.

When you are unable to catch same level of excitement with tokens on a free virtual casino, I guess you are gambling only for money and not for fun at all. Because, I am a gambler I find myself with all the environments the same. Yes, I do forget where I am once I get started with any type of gambling regardless of it is a real casino or a virtual one. On both of gambling casinos, I always want to win to get the maximum benefits but with virtual casino, just a congratulations message is the final result but I do not care that.

Finding all the excitements of gambling regardless of where we are playing is good but most of the time my friends have warned me against getting addiction because the level I do enjoy and want to go for gambling more frequently. Finding fun from gambling is also having its own risks.

The key reason for gambling is seeking fun for me, still how frequently we are playing is more important regardless of the key reason to avoid the gambling problems. I mean to say I cannot be sure about that I am going the right way of gambling even I am not spending big and I'm not expecting "an impossible" from gambling.

excitement/entertainment;

Whenever I do, I set a limit (an amount I'd be willing to lose), and I simply play for fun. The excitement of winning big is obviously a motivator, but financially I know it's not a smart idea to attempt to gamble for "profit"

Seeing the environment around me only experiencing gambling is just to fill my spare time if we are indeed gathering, but for those who gamble every day which means they are gambling addicts, I am sure it is those who gamble for money.

Those people are the people who don't know where to put their money anymore. In short, they are the rich gamblers. You're friend maybe is a good businessman and he gambles maybe to remove stress in his work and to spend some of his money that he can't be spend. One reason of gamblers why they are gambling is to have fun but there are some who can't feel their happiness because they lost their money. Lucky for those who win and go home.

Simple reason for me to gamble is try my luck and make some money,I know we can't make money in long term ut still trying the luck and make some billions one day in my life. :D

That's a big dream, I am hoping you'll be successful in chasing your dream.
Well, every gambler does gamble to make money and actually as a gambler we do love the thrill because easy win is boring, I'm you all with agree with that. We may have different range in terms of amount gambled but we are in one purpose which is to win.

Personally, I've learn a lot in gambling, and I discover that winning is an ultimate success because it does not happen everyday and in fact not most of the time.

I voted for: 'I want to try my luck'

I mean, in the end it's just a form of entertainment and I basically gamble in hopes to win something.
That doesn't mean that it's my only form of entertainment though and I could just as easily find something else to do.

Saying this after having taken a few months break from gambling.

That "hopes" is the key reason.
Why not you just try tossing a coin in your free time to find some entertainment along with trying "the accuracy" of your luck ? No one will do that. If there will be no chances of winning some money, I am sure there would not have been an industry in the name of gambling as everyone will busy in tossing a coin in their home or just playing the game chess against self.

It means you are not yet addicted or you are well aware of how to avoid gambling addictions. It has nothing to do with your purpose of gambling. It means if you go for gambling you will have hopes to win some money along with finding entertainment and if you are busy in your life, you will forget such an entertainment. That must be the right way of gambling. Thanks for sharing here.

I kind of feel sad that a lot of people voted 'to earn money' and 'to try luck', because I am almost sure they'll be disappointed...
I believe that's what they call addiction. You want to win and you know you're gonna lose and yet you keep coming. You hope that this time eerything will be different, this time you'll win. The problem is that even if you do, you won't stop and will lose eventually.
Good for you! Trying to earn with gambling is a very risky thing that is mostly a sign of addiction. I believe in earning at gambling in two cases:
1. A one-time only thing when a person is not a gambler, but want's to risk it and win at any game. If that turns out well and the person doesn't return to that place again, that's a victory.
2. A professional skilled sports better, poker player or maybe another card game player. This person doesn't really care about specific wins and losses. She/he does research and practices, gambling is a job here.

When the key reason is not making money then I guess any gambler may take a gap. As you have mentioned, a right way of approach with gambling must be playing it at our wish and not due to a driving force. I guess this type of approach will become a practice to anyone only after realizing the dangers of getting addicted to gambling which might be possible by learning from this forum or by observing a gambler in real life. I mean if we are conscious about gambling addictions and its consequences then we may deal it responsibly.

A first step toward responsible gambling must be realizing the purpose of why we are gambling. It should not be due to any silly reasons like easy availability nor generating income stream. The second step must be how successful with our key reason. There will be no meaning of continuing something where we are not successful.

Yes, we must gamble only for a valid reason and we must continue gambling only if are getting what we are actually planning to achieve with gambling. Plan for your gambling and stick with your gambling plans or else simply quit it.

It is good to just try your luck in gambling, the important thing there is that you should be able to make a decision after that trying your luck. A lot of gamblers may won their gambling games but you should not be risking your money into it. Knowledge and skills can be learner but luck is out of the question. You can still earn billions amd billions of money in the future if you will be focussing on things that will really give you and generate for you a good profit.

Have you ever heard about the beginners luck ? It is kind of demon which will be leading you into gambling as your first try on gambling will be a positive one and then you will turn greedy to make easy money out of gambling similar to your first try. In a second or third round you will lose but you will remember your first round of gambling so you will start chasing down your losses. You will keep chasing down for all other rounds after that and it will go endless.

I mean to say it will be even good if you never touch gambling even for the reason of trying out your luck. Just stay completely unaware of gambling that is the only option to stay happier in this world without having any problems of gambling.

I went for option "it's a way to spend my free time" because it's the one that most resembles to a hobby, which is how I see gamble, but of course that's it's also a way for me to try my luck, and since I usually prefer "skill gambling" like poker or sports betting, it's also a way to test my skills and to try to win money. Although I'm not obsessed by it, and I'm definitely not a pro, so it's still just a hobby to me.

Though the problem there lies that you already knew the feeling of winning a lot of money. Let's say that someone gamble and well, hit a jackpot, his Beginner's Luck per say. That will make him hooked to gambling, yes there will always be that being cautious since not all of them will be quickly addicted to it, what I am trying to say is that he will be finding that feeling again until he falls down to the pit slowly.

Getting hooked may happen due to lots of reasons but none of them will be valid for the common man because gamblers are finding some reason to continue their gambling. There could be thousands of reasons for gambling but no gambler is reaching the goal of their reason of gambling. I believe only very few gamblers may get chances for achieving why they gamble but that too will not be possible consistently as luck is not a consistent factor to support a gambler.

I have seen many gamblers who do not have any key reason for continuing with gambling still they are going for gambling on every single day and also losing their hard earned money almost every day.

This is the case with almost all people why they gamble. It is just to earn quick money and become super rich. But in the process to earn money many of them lose lot of money and realize it quite late when they have lost their saving, got addicted, effects their health etc.

Depending on each person and the basis of the person on responses to the gambling. Addicted or not / interested or not can influence that answer. For me personally because gambling is very closely related to luck, that's just another thing that I can do when I don't have the dense activity to add to the side profits, and even then that's if I'm lucky

This happens late if someone doesn't have a clue of what he is doing. I have seen a couple and I mean wife and husband were playing in the slot machines in my neighbourhood and they kept putting money on the machine until they lost them all. The money was their payroll which they had just gotten. They realised it too late what they did, I gave them 50 Euro as I felt very sad for them and told them to quit gambling definitely. I haven't seen them in the local casino since then.

Key reason for them was to earn money , to become rich and don't have to work and I believe this to be a key reason for many others but the facts show this doesn't work.

Whenever something provides you with an earning access, it easily attracts the common people. Same is with gambling, people keep on gambling to earn and the earning through gambling is easy to be earned compared to other forms of earning. Here users with limitations and pro gamblers succeed earning big while majority fails.

For me . gambling differs from time to time because when im at home and at work online , i do play gambling because i wanted to earn money .  other times , when im outside with my family and we see a gambling game on the street  we play on it but we are playing only for fun and to past the time .

There are times that i feel lucky and that will result for me to try my luck on online gambling sites  .

I dont know if this only happening to me or this is just normal and also happened to most people .

I agree most of the people are going for gambling just for the reason of there will be some possibility to make some quick and easy money. If money is not at all involved with gambling then I believe no one will be preferring to play with it. Money making must be the key reason for gambling for 99% of gamblers. The rest of the gamblers are going for gambling because they are having excess money to spend.

My answer is not jus to experience some emotions but also to experience to win money through gambling. I believe many people wants to experience to go to casinos but since they are not confident about that, they just choose to gamble online. Every gamblers have their own reason why they keep on gambling and hopefully that reason is a good one so they can’t lose big money.

Yes,, people love easy money.  It is why the lottery is so popular and why people like to do 100x leverage on Bitmex.  This is even why the casino business is tough to get into, there is a ton of competition and each site is always fighting for new customers.  We all hope to be the lucky person that strikes it big someday :)

Well, to be honest, they are not really fighting for new gamblers or customers since most of these gambling sites are very popular to a lot of gamblers all over the world and instead of competing with other sites, they take care of their daily customers and these customers themselves bring other gamblers since their services are proven by the sites usual costumers.

I only gamble if I have my free time for myself since most of the time I’m busy with my work and of course busy with my family. But I think as the moment I want to gamble the reason is not just to spend my free time and have fun, but I’m also expecting to earn some money. I think this is very normal for a gambler to think about good profit, but then again there is no assurance for that and th risk is still high in gambling.

Most of the gamblers wants to earn easy money and that is possible through gambling. Let’s accept the fact that gambling is known for making money, which is too risky to everyone. Yes, we can make easy money but for sure that money will be gone also easily. Don’t gamble for the money, stop depending on it because you will be broke in the long run if you push to gamble.

TBH, I don't even actually know how people produce a profit for more than a day without pure luck. How people are able to gamble for more than a few days believing there is profit to be made is beyond me.

There's nothing wrong with seeing a basketball or hockey game and thinking "eh, I'll put 10 on {insert team here}". That's the way gambling ought to be. It just makes thing more interesting/fun/entertaining as the saying goes.

The key reason why people wants to gamble is because for the easy big pot of money. The possibility that they can take home even 30 times of their bet is what drives them. The addict sometimes are those people who doesnt have any jobs or doesnt have anything as a source of their income and rely only in their luck.

Well, not really all of them are poor. A lot of addicted gamblers has their own jobs even businesses, they keep on gambling because of the entertainment, the fun they are getting from gambling. I think that is where their greediness come to effect, even though they are gambling for fun, if they are controlled by their feelings or emotions, they will having a hard time controlling theirselves.

Many people want to be the rich with gambling.
But only few people that able to be that position because we all know that the winning chance always less than 45%

But if you're lucky enough and having iron guts, you can be the champions

Gambling for me is one of the way to get rich. imagine you win large pool and jackpot. Just make more bet and then eventually you will going to the jackpot. After that you can live without gambling and make your self busy on other things like venture into another business. There are many things that could happen in gambling and you will not going to knownl it if you will not try.

Money is the real cause of the worry as people run behind money as they think it is easy to earn from gamble and in this anticipation they only know how money they would have lost it rather than making money from the gambling.

And people that gambles in order to earn money won this survey. Those people have the highest probability of losing more than they can afford to lose on casinos. They forgot the house edge and that casino purposes is entertainment.

The main reason for more attraction in gambling is it gives lots of money if you are win otherwise you cannot earn much more money this will the main reason for people will get into gambling field so the fault is not with the people the gambling will attracts lots of people to play gambling it is not a bad thing.

Addiction is bad for those who wanna to win back lost amount. The mechanism works flawless in gambling industry which customers come to beat it :) The sum of win/lose will be zero,that is the main reason we call it zero-sum game. Your loss amount is someone's winning. I advice to think twice before entering to casino if someone wanna to risk the hard earned money which he saved during months.

people want lots of money to be happy in their life that's why they are entered into gambling but lots of people will not succeed in this field and we all know it will not happen for most of the people but still lots of investors coming forward to invest in gambling soon the tricks and tips of gambling will be found by someone then it will be a easy thing.

Gambling is just for entertainment only and not to take it or think that it is a way to earn money or as a source of income. If people keep thinking like that every time they go to the casino, they will probably lost everything they have because this will lead to an addiction which is too hard to control when it is in a critical condition. We should stop this kind of mentality or you can tell your friends or relatives to don't think gambling as a source of income but instead let them find a real job.

Yes, it is giving a lot of money, but does this gamblers get it?

Over the years gambling is still popular to people that wants to risk their money and depend it on their luck which is not really good. I don't know why people are keep on doing this despite the fact that they know already that the possibility of them winning is lower than the possibility of them losing. Though the feeling of winning are stuck in their heads the reason they keep on going back to experience again the feeling of winning.

Everyone has their own specific reason on why they gamble, some people just do it for fun while others do gambling because they want to make profit out of it, and the last of the last are the people who are heavily addicted with gambling because they want to be successful just by gambling and that they think that it could make them millionaires just by playing and sitting all day in the casino, and in my own personal reason I only play because I am in the middle of wanting to make extra profit and at the same time just have a good time in the casino.

Indeed, everyone has their own reason why they did gambling but frankly the same reason for all of us will be to earn money. The different from each gamblers is on the way they handle the game. Some people can accept lose and moving forward while the other people can not accept it. People who can't accept the loss will try to chase the previous loss and do some rage betting at the end which for sure will lead them to the very bad state at some points. I myself prefer to gamble just to try my luck with small amount of money and whenever I failed, I will stop hunting. I want to earn money and having fun at the same time.

If you've seen the chat boxes on sites, surely you've come across people who claimed they managed to blow up their dollars to hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Had a similar encounter; started with $400 and made my way to $1,300 by being lucky.

I voted for To earn money, which in return will help me get more girls and girls of good quality.

People who are playing in gambling either for fun or for making profit, also might have been addicted to gambling or they are just in the starting phase of gambling addictions. I mean to say that almost everyone into gambling due to their addictions. Those non-addictive people may take gambling once and they will come back to it for ever or they will try after some infinite time period but not in regular interval. Those who are gambling frequently or in regular interval (their reason is not important) must have been addicted to gambling.

Just kidding ? Have you ever tried that and are you successful with your attempts ? Please do not share something that you have not tried and not finding successful. Because, many people will be here following what you are saying is as true and may try for themselves. Please be responsible at least for this community and for its innocent gamblers.

Yes I gamble to earn money I just dont discuss it very much on the forums.

I see the result too and the second is the way to spend free time for me. I hope that people who choose to earn money will have lucky in the gambling games because this is what they need to win and make money. But they need to realize that gambling is not the way to earn money and even they can lose the money itself. The money will attract people to chase it, and in the gambling business, there is a word that always shows which is get winning in xxx minutes by playing the xxx game :D

You can already separate at least 2 types of gamblers:
-casual
-addicts

Casual bettors have some savings to place wagers here and there, for fun, hoping to get lucky. Usually these types of gamblers have a better chance to get lucky once and become rich, because they are less involved emotionally.

Addicts need to spend every single day by gambling, you recognize an addict when he feels lonely after 3 days without gambling. A typical pattern is to say "I quit", and make another deposit the very next day.

It's important to keep a right balance and be sure to be in the first category I describe above, for obvious reasons. 

That is an interesting poll and I couldn't expect a different answer to come first!
Gambling is thought by many people as a way of getting easy and fast money but this is not true as it usually comes the other way. People thinking that they can make money is the reason that they are getting addicted to it.

The poll just tell what people really expect in gambling, most voters selected "to earn money", that's expected because enjoyment comes only when you win in gambling, it's a different kind of fulfillment because not everyone is a winner, so if you win, you feel proud of yourself for awhile.

I gambled to make money and I have no any other reason why I gamble.  I think many of us if we can be sincere do the samething.  Gambling is a game and investing into gambling so be taking as such.  You either win or lose depends on what is in your favor. Therefore I don't gamble for fun but to make money.

Gambling is more attractive and effective this will be the main reason for people getting interest in made investment in this field and it all be the most money making way this will also be the big reasons for that.

People are drawn to gambling first by the desire to make money, then they become "hooked on it " after the emotional thrill associated with it, soon it becomes recreational, something you do to get "high" or as an escape from reality, it becomes additive.

We were on the same boat as i myself do always gamble because im verry eager to won some bucks  but apart from it , i dont get addicted to it either due to the fact that my bankroll is only limited .  if i want to enjoy or have some fun then i do other activites that doesnt cost me anything , playing computer games for example  .

So they need to depend on gambling to make money because, in the end, they will be addicted as you say. I don't think that it's better to use gambling as an escape away from reality because this will makes your life worst. But yes, the key reason for gambling was people want to make money, and this is the most reason that we know. And people don't think much about it's painful to become addicting in gambling.

I don't usually bet on just any game, if it's my favorite team, player and game i will bet but sometimes it depends on the odds, so yeah, i also gamble to profit some money.

I have just read a wonderful blog dealing with this topic and it was stated that traumatic events can trigger problem gambling. For many people it is simple way to escape from painful situations and to forget personal issues.

They also need to face the consequences too,if they choose gambling to make money.When people start doing gambling it may bring pleasure when the won mount but when they are in need to win to run their life then it will starts to hurts.We can normally see people get addicted to gambling for beginner's luck but later on they will get drowned.

In my case, I do gamble because I am seeking and trying new activity which I have not done yet in my younger years and also to do entertain myself and socialize with other people because when you are playing, you have that opportunity to meet other people and somehow make friends with them. I do gamble not just because I am interested with money because I am just a small time better and I just play sometimes so it doesn't matter whether I win or loose because the important thing is that I enjoy playing. That is why I have get to engaged into an  online casino (https://to.crwd.cr/smtm) so that I can still conveniently play even at home when I have no time to go to casino establishments to play so I can still play varieties of games plus enjoy their great bonus after doing my first deposit.

Just be cautious that you do not get overboard else you can easily get carried away and want to make more and more money and in such circumstances might lose the money and also can get addicted in the process as it is very lucrative and people find the easy ways to earn money.

For sure that the majority of gamblers not only within crypto world but also outside of it do such thing in order to earn money. I am confident that it is the main reason of people even without conducting surveys at all ;D.

In my case, I admit that I also want to earn few bucks every time I gamble but this is not my primary reason, having fun while spending my leisure time does. And I think having such kind of mindset is good after all because it prevents me to become hungry of money thus avoiding addiction :).

To tell you honestly, I go for gambling for fun and for the money. I felt excited and my body felt happy whenever I won the bet. Gambling is something that makes our life more exciting  But of course in the contrary, it can also give our life miserable. Anyhow we have different reasons but to unite the gamblers, I think money is the main reason why we play online gambling.

I am afraid that some people cannot face it and they become frustrated because of losing the money. People do not realize that when they start to gamble, they risk their money to make another winning which they cannot always get. Yeah, I know how it feels because I have the same experiences as them and this is why I don't want to get another experience, and I prevent to get a big loss in the gambling games.

a huge amount of money earnings in quicktime will attract anyone in this world that's why gambling mean more popular in all over the world and also the excitement will not be reduced in gambling we need to put over again and again in gambling and Gate the prophet also that's why it is more popular and developed in very short period of time.

At first enjoyment and socialization but when it differs it becomes money and greed,this is the way why people becomes addicted and you cant change this

Unless you can prevent from getting involved in gambling,or you can perfectly controlled yourself and emotion then you’re safe in gambling

To be honest with you, no one can perfectly control himself or emotions but the moment a gambler knew what he will face in terms of gambling while he set a break strategy, he definitely know how he can incorporate wise actions to get the full benefit out of the game. However, the key reason for gambling we always be for the sake of money, socialization and enjoyment.

The major reason why I gamble is for me to earn and not for fun. A good gambler or a dedicated gambler will always gamble for profits and not for whatsoever.

Interesting when I heard your perspective on gambling, moreover you say gambling is just profit not just for fun. So, I just want to ask how much profit you get during your gamble and how much loss do you get when you gamble? In contrast to most people who gamble to find a safe way, they say gambling just for fun so as when they experience a loss, they will argue not to regret it because for them gambling is just for fun hence experiencing loss when gambling is a disgrace that must be covered.

Making money from gambling is hard, and I am afraid that you will lose in the end, and it's better you realize that and don't use more money to bet. I don't think that a good gambler will always search the profit because they will also search a way out from losing money. So if you still playing gambling and get lost, then it's better to quit gambling for a while.

Those commons facts is the reality inside this activity, having some fun with your friends or even inside your own convenience as offer by online gambling, the fact that you are able to control such emotions can keep you to enjoy this way, not unless greed takeover and make things differ from the first time you play, as time will past and possibilities to suffer stress and addictions will follow.

I started gambling out of curiosity because I've seen advertisement here on the forum about different types of gambling games you can play and you don't need KYC document in order to play it in other words anyone can play as long as you have money... At first it's really fun looking at your money to grow, crash and fail again but once you hit a jackpot you're going to be greedy and earn a lot and if you lose you're going to recover your lost and be desperate until you're out of luck.

To make it short... At first I play it as for fun after some time playing it to earn... but now I stopped since It's really risky for me since I can't fully control myself playing.

Got your point but in as much a gambler apply the right strategy he must win even though the winnings come in fractions, so, am not scare of the looses because that also make a gambler who he is.

I will not deceive anyone, I came here primarily to earn money on cryptocurrencies. I had experience in trading on stock exchanges, so I really enjoyed trading on cryptocurrency exchanges.
Since then, cryptocurrencies have become gambling for me.

And at least in trading, you know the odds and you can mitigate the risk, compare to gambling that you don't have control over it unless you're lucky that day and exited when you're you still have your winnings. For me though, i learn to control and just enjoy the game, if I don't win so be it, I'm no longer the gambler that chases my losses on the next day. If I'm not lucky this day then maybe next week or next month, just saying.

The fact of the matter is, I like it in cryptocurrencies, I get emotions from trading like gambling, but at the same time the risks of losing my money are much lower.
And I wish you good luck.

Well, I do also gambling just like you to try new activities which I have not yet done or even tried so it is my first and as we all know first times are really worth exciting and fun. I am playing gambling just to entertain myself while I am peacefully resting on the couch after a long tiring day of mine. I am up into seeking varieties of games that I can play online so I think it worth a try to check out that online casino you are up to.

You did the right thing, and actually you proved that you can control yourself. That's what I do from time to time, I stop gambling for a while when I can see that I spend too much time on this activity. I rarely lose significant amounts of money, but I definitely lose significant amount of time on gambling in some occasions. It's when I notice that time spent on gambling is close to 50% of my free time, I stop for a week or two. Then I see how many interesting things I can do instead of gambling, and I enjoy doing them ... until I'm getting bored by those "interesting" things ... and the circle starts over again. :)

There must be a lot of responses from various people, some are gambling to earn income and some are aiming for entertainment. There is a choice like this because everyone has different thoughts. But what I suggest is that everyone who wants to play gambling must be patient and control their mental state. Without this, a person can experience addiction which can adversely affect the future of a gambler.

Sometimes it starts as fun and then probably when someone loses a big sum of money in it or gets in a crisis, then he tries to recover the money by doing more gambling, At the stage, the person starts doing it as a source of income.

Well if the only quest is the profit maximization, better be good at the skill. You need to know almost everything that can help you out at gambling.
Most of the people who are in the gambling are motivated by money and are in for the monetary benefits. They win and make money one way or the other. But it is a game of probability and you do not always know what will happen upon entering the game.

So, majority of people gamble to make money while the remaining gamble for relaxation/entertainment. This is an interesting poll.
Could be that additiction is caused by both trying to make money from gambling and trying to have fun with gambling?

Yes both can lead to addiction.
Its like try to drink alcohol for fun and drinking it due to depression. One eventually gets addicted either way when they over get used to it.

Most people think greed was the main reason why gambler usually proceed despite their lost is because they are high and it something like a buzz. Like I said earlier no one can totally control him self and we all somehow greed in some aspect and the best way to stop the greed or buzz is by setting a limit strategy.

Because usually gamblers thinking of huge money inside casino's and they'll think that they could win all the time but they are actually wrong. Gambling is not all about of winning but just to have enjoyment with. Many were fall into addiction cause they'll never control their self.

Well, it seems like we have find gambling an interesting activity do be done added up for new ones that we have never tried before. Which is for the main reason just to have fun and entertain ourselves in a new way as possible. Sure you can check ut out if it seems you seeking for bonds of game varieties to play which I have experienced into the  online casino (https://to.crwd.cr/smtm) I am currently into.

You might be right base on the rate of gambling addicted people confession and like you said they should see gambling as a way of enjoyment but we have seen a case where people that sees gambling as a means of enjoyment are also addicted to gambling. What I'm trying to point out is that winning was not the only reason behind gambling addiction and the best thing every gambler must do is setting some break/stop strategy in other not be addicted.

At first, I played without any control, I currently play with a mental strategy of allocating money just to play, where I leave it for lost, to play without any stress, the amount that I draw from my winnings, specifically half of my Earnings I try them to the game.

May I know what's the meaning of TL:DR? I'm not familiar with it ;D.

Anyway, I disagree that the only reason for gambling is money. In whatever side we look at it, such games are still a form of entertainment thus fun is always present. Yeah! Most of us (including me) gamble mainly because we want instant money but I do believe that there are real people existing which treat this as just a simple game where money is not a big deal as long as they're having a good time alone or with their companions. (I guess this kind of people are the ones who are very rich).

Escape. Escape from reality, an unhappy marriage, boredom, etc

In my opinion, besides just for fun, most people play gambling, most of them just want to get money or profits in a short time and cannot be denied because in reality like that.
actually winning in gambling is only a factor of luck and if you continue to play you will definitely lose everything because you are obsessed with the desire to always win, and most importantly you have a good strategy and when you win you have to stop playing so Luck is on your side.

That could be one of many reasons for some people. They don't feel satisfied with their life because they cannot achieve something that they want. So they decide to search another way to release the stress but unfortunately, they pick a wrong way, and they choose to play gambling. They even know that playing gambling can make their lose the money, but they don't care, as long as they can play any games, they will do again and again. That is too sad to realize, but I think it's happened in around us.

Gambling is not a bad choice when choosing an activity that can loose your stress out  . people on our place regulalrly play gambling especially card games  , they say that they are not playing for the profit but they only play because gambling makes them happy . they somehow forgot their  problems   .  we can also be like them . we just gotta learn how to control our selve's to not go overboard  

I think it is also quite good method for utilizing tokens or forked coins that have no real purpose.
We know that there was at least few coins forked of bitcoin, some of them were recognised on the market but some were not.
This way, most of us are in possession of useless coins, why not have some fun with them? Key reason is still fun tough.

Agreed on this since i am holding some of them and wanna dispose and i think this idea will be bettee for my plans.hope in time this will be possible

What?lol this is a scape for a weak people that cannot handle personal problems,and do you really think this could help you?I guess now instead this will only added another burden to your life

Is this you? sorry about that. I've never thought that there are gamblers that are doing it because of their unhappy marriage. But now you have given an idea that everything is a possible reason why a person do something like gambling.

"Too long, didn't read"  (https://www.dictionary.com/e/acronyms/tldr/)

True enough but in addition to that it is undeniable that there is fun in gambling. If not, the losers will not continue and will not even come back if it is not fun to gamble. It gives you excitement, hope and a mixed kind of emotions both in winning and losing. It makes someone imagine what to spend with his winnings even before he started the game. Isn't it fun? ;D

Yes, this is how we should all play gambling. In case of loss, We cannot control the loss, but we can minimize the loss by proper planning and techniques.  If we know how much to spend in each games and how to calculate profit, we can avoid big losses and mostly we will win from gambling. Its just the matter on how we approach towards gambling.

Yeah I'm not a hypocrite that I gamble because of money, and it seems the survey also says the same thing that most players try their luck to get money. but in my opinion it is undeniable that some people do seek gambling for fun and pleasure, and profits are only a bonus

I’m sad for you buddy for what you have burden now hope you will not commit suicide from this 😂

but kidding aside bro,i think this is temporary happiness only because for sure in time this will be another burden for you

Huh?is this really stress free?when half of your EARNINGS goes for the Gaming ?i guess this is contradicting budz hope you’ll find another way to play without stress ,but for sure its harder to find

The primary/key reason why I gamble tbh is to earn money. I think that's what makes someone to prefer gambling instead of playing such online games which is more challenging if we'll ignore the involvement of money.

I am sure that earn money will be the reason for most people who are trying to gamble. But we cannot make that money every time we gamble although we know that we have a chance to make money. But I am not surprised to see the result of the poll that to earn money is in the first place of people choose. Yeah, I admitted that gambling is a quick way to earn money, but we cannot depend on the gambling to make money because there are many good jobs in out there that can we use to make money.

I never had a physical casino experience other than some local street betting on fests and carnivals before i got introduced to online gambling. I started gambling for fun, to pass time on my free times. Then, i found out the possibility earn some quick money. That's how my primary focus changed from fun to money making. Whatever the reason may be, but eventually we all would be focused on money only.

But be sure not to go overboard with your aim on focusing to money making because this wont really suit out when it comes to gambling.
Gambling is for entertainment and not for long term money making aspects. Reason for gambling might vary on each person either for stress reliever, money making, habit etc.

The people I see gamble in my everyday life are the ones stuck in poverty and are searching for a way to get out of their hopeless situation.  Its a tough world for some people and the only option they see is to gamble and hope to strike it big.

It's too bad that you spent half of your earnings just to play the game to relieve stress. If you really want to relieve stress, there's a lot of online gambling games that will help you to save your earnings. It will just destroy your life on your situation, just fix it and change 'cause it means a lot. You better stop gambling 'cause it doesn't really give you a huge profit if ever, it will just bring back your money if you win.

People do make mistake when they play just to make money from gambling rather than playing for fun . Instead just going behind money their are other things for which people can play is like to make new friends, have a great time with friends in casinos etc.

Do gambling to get money instantly maybe only be good if that people already have their daily money that they can use if they need. And if someone don't have money and use all money in gambling to get big money instant, yes if they can win. If lose, they will suffer more.

I guess thats called social gaming when we play to make friends and also playing with friends and I believe this is the best way to treat gambling so the winnings is not really the main objective instead the fun takes it all

When playing online games we do bettings with my friends to make the game more furious and truthful but ofcourse smaller amount since its not really gambling

That should be, so you will not break the principal rule which is to gamble what you can afford.
Since gambling does not give consistent money, it should not be the priority, our job is and gambling should be part of our leisure in life.


That's gambling out of control, or not controlling the risk, you should anticipate that you will also loss and feel the effect in advance, and make sure it will not affect your life outside gambling session.

He tries to relieve stress by spending half of his income, I'm sure it will only add to the stress because he plays in a chaotic situation and with such situations it is certain he will not win, only luck will help him to make a profit. Such reasons are not good for gambling, because it will only make the pressure increase in life because of the lost streak.

I gamble to test my luck — as simple as that. At times I am lucky, other times I'm not.

Sometimes, though, I gamble just to try a new game, usually slot, that caught my attention.

With the hope of making some money from it but I know it is going to be very hard and may not even happen as well so I won't try too many times and also with more money that I can't afford to lose if anything went wrong.

It's simple, anyone would gamble to earn a lot of money too quick. It is a way to try out our luck to see if we can actually earn something big out of this, because where it can make you a quick buck in less time, it takes no time to snatch it away from your hands and that's where greed and addiction plays its role badly and makes us lose even more in the long run.

At least it seems that you do not affect your financials when you gamble. You combine entertainment along with the benefit of making some money from it.
You should never try to risk more money in order to earn more because you will eventually lose them,

Saying that it may not even happen, it will happen regardless on how much you are gambling there will always a time that you will win. But the chance of losing is higher than that so its easier to say that chances of losing is higher than winning. Most gamblers here are aiming for the profit and if someone says that he's into entertainment, that's the moment that it's hard to believe. Probably some do really enjoy gambling for fun and don't aim for profit anymore.

Mental allocation is nice but can gamblers resist the strong urge to gamble assosiated with gambling or even the temptations?
How about keeping their gambling fund locked in a smart wallet  to prevent gamblers from the uncontrollable spending.

Yes, 89% of gamblers are actually after the money and the quick profit involved which normal because the profitable of an investment is what get most investors going. However, we have a situation whereby some gambler are actually not after the money winning but the buzz and the enjoyment involved.

I joined the group that said they are gambling to make money and I have no any other reason.  I have read on many posts that it is good we gamble for fun and not for profits.  I have tried to do that and I couldn't but still have the mind to make profits.

Well, for me two of the most popular reasons are also at the first place, searching for profit and having fun. I even feel that having fun to me is more important, coz I almost never win something big. If I'm able to stay at the same balance after the end of the game - it means that I spent my free time well.

I agree, the vast majority of players just like the feeling of the risk and the win.   The idea of getting rich off gambling is more a lotto thing I think which is where its blind luck and sure anyone can get some luck perhaps.   The skilled player hoping to gain an advantage for profit I think is in the lower single digit percentage wise

so as not to be lonely at home and try a new atmosphere with new friends. after all it doesn't hurt if I try my luck in the initial round.

Obviously that's the reason, we cannot be having fun without winning as well, so two should go together.

However, although it's hard to admit but we are not winning most of the time, that's why majority of gamblers are losers but we should not allow that reality to have fun in gambling, as long as we are responsible, we can still win although not consistent and have fun everytime we win.

In addition to what you said, the habit of getting rich out of gambling usually dont happen to those that are really after the winning and i think it because their thirsty for the money involved dont make be in their right senses.

I just gambling for fun in the first until i get big win in some online casino, then my mind has changed "may be i can get more money there ::)". And now i addicted in gambling, almost everyday when i have time and money always i use for gambling. Because my big win experience i spend much time in online casino and lose a lot money in the end ;D.

Indeed we were always tend to lose in the end because  of being so agressive to win a lot more. But it doesn't make sense for those expert gamblers, and rushing towards bigger wins could probably be a road for losing a lot of money after all. Addiction cannot be controlled easily, so think wisely and don't act quickly once you're there you can't recover losses instantly but through step by step process.

Those people who gamble just for entertainment purposes are not necessarily rich, they are just not greedy. There is no such thing as being "rich enough" for some people, they always want more. Such people become addicted gamblers even though they could live the rest of their lives, never working, with the money they already have in their possession. "I gamble to make more money 'cause I'm poor" is a lame excuse imo. There are no excuses for being greedy. Although all of us, including me, I must admit, gamble in hopes of getting quick money sometimes, we should try to make those cases as rare as possible unless we want to become addicted gamblers.

Strange !!! why can't he play other free online games if he is stress out ? 
Playing gambling just to release the stress, will actually give you more stress.


I do not think people go to gambling casino to make friends etc. The target for 99% of the gamblers is to make money and only 1% succeed in doing so.

I think the key reason for gambling is earn money. People bet their money for extra profit, there are many gambling site where people gambling their cryptocurrency for earn some money. Now gambling is addiction for some betting gamer. Yes it's a always chance to lose money but there is a addiction for earn money, i think that's a key reason for gambling. People earn money by gambling it's a exciting betting games which also profitable. ;)

We don't know what his reason is, but I will not use gambling to release the stress because it will make us become more stress especially if we are losing the money. The best cure if we are stressing is only sleep or hang out with our friends, make some activity with them so in the end, your stress will be released. That is what I did when I got stress.

And if you were playing gambling when you stress, you cannot think the strategy, you cannot enjoy the game, and the biggest thing that you can get is you will lose in the game because the stress will control your mind.

Indeed, the thrill of gambling is not to be underestimated. That enjoyment you receive whenever you win and happiness when you hit the jackpot, those are one of the most reasons why people gamble. I also play in vegas casino and I can verify that it has a lot of good offers and benefits as well as huge variety of games to play. Their blog is also very helpful towards beginners as well as towards new users of their gaming site since it introduces a lot of basic information regarding their site. You can also rest assured about its security and place your trust in them.

Absolutely,many gamblers are here to make money but what money they are using will be useful for categorizing them,when someone uses their extra spare money which is not needed for now to try their luck and earn more money then they are not going to be affected but when someone gambling with the money which is needed to pay the rent in two days are one will get addicted to it severely.

Feeling sad and lonely likely contribute to addiction.
People who disagree probably do not understand the difference between gambling addicts and regular players with self control.

The latter could withdraw from gambling any time they want without problems but the former will find it hard to withdraw.

Maybe I can categorize myself in your latter description. I just gamble for fun and not aiming to earn money out of it. And yes, I can easily withdraw anytime I want. If you have personal problem or depression , more than likely you will devote more time in gambling to temporarily forget the reality, thus, heading you to addiction stage.

As we look into the chart, people will think that gambling will give us money to earn and isn't possible anyway. If we have that luck then, gambling will be a place to stay cause it surely you'll get some but if not, you better stay away from gambling or just consider this as a place for stress reliever or simple entertainment. Taking this seriously will never have a good result instead, it will hook you up into addiction.

I've chosen the key reason for gambling is to try luck because that is the reason why I am into gambling. Before I just want to know how lucky I am in gambling but later on, I feel that I am lucky because I have won at that time. But now I had gamble once in the blue moon since I got work outside and gambling for me is just for fun.

I'll go with to earn money, most of the people I know gamble to earn money, they try there luck in gambling to improve their way of living. It's like thinking that gambling is the only way for them to improve when in fact, not most of them are lucky enough to win in gambling. But I think it still depend on who gambles whether they do it for fun, to earn money or to relieve stress.

I thought that the key reason for people to playing gambling was to get easy money from gambling. But for the other people, they don't know what is their reason for gambling because they only follow the other people's or people want to know how good their luck in gambling. The key reason will not be the same, and I am sure that every gambler has their reason to gamble. Perhaps, we could play gambling for one thing that we can do in our free time, and we only play gambling in a short time.

Everybody out there has different reasons why they are gambling. One is because they want to enjoy themselves thru gambling. Second is they want to test their luck in gambling. There are some more reasons into why they are gambling.

My personal reason why I'm gambling is because of fun. I only gambling in sports betting so in order for me to enjoy what I'm watching, I put a small bet into it and if I lose then its ok for me. If I win then good for me because I'm lucky :D

I am not gambling to earn because I know that's an impossible mission to me.
I do my earning in other ways like trading and investing, in gambling I can do it just to spend money.

You know what? The one who are really earning are the gambling operators, so if we will fully accept that, we will not loss more money anymore.
The problem with us is we want instant money without considering our chances of winning.

For a lot of people there is fun, for others there is social aspect, for another financial one. It's hard to find one simple explanation.

Nevertheless, we tried to go deeper on that matter. Here is a result of our effort:

 Psychology of sports betting by OneHash  (https://blog.onehash.com/why-do-we-gamble-psychology-of-sports-betting-d7706c423ef4)

What do you think of this article? Leave your comments, please :)

One thing that keeps me active into sports betting is the selection of odds. When we're spending on a game that we're familiar with, it is easy to predict the outcome of the match and according to the same we can choose the odds. In simple terms it is highly the information based while other forms of gambling were mostly luck based.

I think that earning money is a key reason for gambling. You won't be able to have a fun experiencing too many losses thus you need to win to feel yourself good.

I think so that the first reason for gambling is earning money, and anyone to play in gambling with the reason for fun
but many of people play in gambling is money.

People gamble from various reason and they have a different type of personality, so they differ from person to person, in my opinion, they become addicted because it becomes a habit, there are a lot of reasons why they gamble not just because they are lonely, some reasons are they just want to make money or to be entertained, we cannot classify precisely why they gamble.

Well, the first time your gambling is probably trying your luck and finding entertainment in gambling but in the next gambling session, this goal may have changed, you are no longer looking for joy or luck here, all these reasons just to justify greed and seek profit. The reason I talk about this is that when we gamble, we too understand that there is not too much entertainment here, it just wins and loses, earn money and lose money, no one can find entertainment when their money disappears quickly, unless they are too rich

Only one person selected "I don't gamble", I bet non gamblers make up a large part of this section since most people are only posting here for their signature campaigns.

It really all comes down to money, although there are a few exceptions.  Does the billionaire gambler need more money? No but he does it for the adrenaline rush.

There is no other reason for them to gamble except money. I don't understand people saying that they can just gamble for fun or entertainment. That just means that they are having fun risking their money and doubling it or taking the pot or prize and that obviously means that they want to earn or win money and that also means that they want to have fun and earn money, that is still their reason.

First time I got addicted just because I lost lots of money when I play foker so as I had a high ambition to got the desired profit at that time and I realized that this way was wrong. Because my target is win and before I win I never leave the room and the result was I spent lots of money because of that and I felt guilty just because I never win. So, I took lots of articles about how to win the gambling and I learn more from some people who were used to get profit from foker. Finally, I realized that gambling is not about lucky only more than that I should have a strategy when I played it. And now, I use gambling as entertainment only because this way can make me aware that gambling is not a source income and I never  will to make it as source income.

I just pray that one should not start with lose from the beginning of gambling games but with profits. Yesterday I gambled for some time and for a very long time I have not made loses the way it happened to me yesterday because I started with lose and I have to increase my lots and that makes me to lose more.

It is actually everything since gambling has a very wide scope on which it caters to, especially to individuals who have the capacity to gamble. There are two (2) kinds of individuals mostly in casinos: one looking for entertainment and the other expecting money.

The first type of gambler is usually for people who have the resource to gamble. They find the act satisfying since it provides socialization among their peers and colleagues; this type of gambler also knows their discipline throughout the game and they know their limitations.

The second type of gambler is usually the common majority shared in a casino. This is potentially dangerous especially that they are prone so succumbing to addiction. If you gamble to pay for your financial problems, expect things to spiral out of control.

I think all of the above, although the percentage will differ in each category, we have a mixed type of personality, all I know is there are advantages and disadvantages in gambling and it is the goal of every individual and their family to make sure that they will not become addicted to gambling.

Many here voted for profits and its ok but I think if you see gambling as another source of income, there will be a time that you will become greedy and will invest more money in gambling which is wrong. I think lets just gamble if we need some thing to make us happy. Just gamble for fun only,.

Some gamblers try to use gambling games as their source of income. They are trying to make money from gambling without considering to search for another job. That will be fine if they have their luck and their skills in gambling games, but most of them have already forgotten this, and they only lose their money. I agree with you that gamble is just for fun only, and we don't need to use gamble for another reason. So the key reason for gambling here will be for fun and getting entertain.

The key to success in being able to play gambling is to be able to avoid an addiction, because when someone is addicted, he can be said to experience failure in playing gambling. So play gambling with fun and avoid addiction so we can get a fun and pressure free game.

Gambling games are fun and can relieve stress when used appropriately.

I think there are different types of people and to be honest, not all of them try to gamble for money. Some might gamble at sports out of fondness and some might do so for monetary gains. But the general perception among people is the later I talked about. It is monetary benefits to a greater extent that motivates them to be part of the gambling world and make money.

True, when you are not addicted, you will be able to control yourself even though you are losing.
Addiction will ruin everything, not only the money you allocated for gambling, but also the money that you are suppose to use for more important things.

Gambling addiction is one of the worse problem of a person, I read a lot of experience that some people even sold their car and house for gambling.
This impulsive gambling makes them very aggressive that they already forget to use their mind because they are solely using their emotional judgement.

But what if the addiction produces good profits for them, because not all gambling addicts always end in bankruptcy. When they become addicts and have control in spending their money on gambling, I think they are successful gambling addicts. The main reason for gambling is something to get a pleasure with the win he will get.

No one want to risk their money in gambling without the reason of getting rich quick. If there is no greed of becoming rich, people will not be attracted towards the gambling. There might be people who play for fun only but their numbers are very few. Majority of the people in gambling are ones who want to earn money only.

I think in generally money is the most reason why people are like to gamble. They wants to earn or win easily if they lucky in gambling, and even if they get addicted, they ignore it, just to make money and this is the key reason why they gamble always.

I can only speak for myself, like investing in cryptocurrency, I only gamble what I can afford to lose because I gamble to entertain, I do not want to fall to a trap where I will gamble with all my money, you should not gamble when you are sad and lonely because you can become addicted here.

Some people do gambling for the fun and thrill of it but mostly yea gotta agree, its for the money. People are just lazy to work and leave it all up to lady luck to see whether they can become kings or become slaves in a day. Gotta agree as well that in Vegas casino, they give out benefits which are really useful so you don't actually have to turn into a poor being after losing everything since they give out benefits to your first-time deposits. Now if you even lose those, then you gotta calm down and try to switch to a different game type. Vegas offers a lot of them so might as well take your time to pick rather than stick to one and keep losing right?

What about gambling when you are so happy?
I think it could also attribute to the potential of you being addicted.

I read some saying from people that "don't make a decision when you are too happy or too sad", the same can be applicable in gambling I guess.

Maybe as long we can control for what amount that we want to gamble i think it is not bad to do gambling when we are sad or happy. I mean people is different, maybe when they sad or maybe happy, as long it not make that people suffer, it is still safe to do.

Prayers won't work in gambling, yesterday was your day which you may lose tomorrow it depends. So there is no specific guarantee in the Gambling whether you are winning are losing it completely depends upon the luck we have. I used to gamble Poker many times i won through this poker but once we start losing it will continue, my goal is not gambling with the high amounts in poker.

Well, you have the point, as long as they will not suffer on the consequences, they can gamble anytime they want.
Gambling in crypto is 24/7, that gives us a chance to play anytime we like to, but with disciplines as that would make us safe in gambling.

This kind of entertainment should not be for people with lack of discipline as it's very risky to them, they might loss big when they loss control.

The key reason for gambling varies from person to person. There are people out there who eye on money and would gamble for nothing but money. This is something you will get to see in every movie based on gambling like Casino Royal and 21 etc. The pursuit of riches is the sole motivation and reason for a large number of people to gamble.

Mostly 2 reason due to which people game first is to make money from the gambling and second is for those people who just want to have a leisure time playing gambling and pass the good time in gambling rather than go behind money.

Agree to your statement, we should have discipline on this action because it's very risky when you push it through, it might have a breakdown on your income when you lose. The most important thing is, gambling is one of the reason why people still buying btc except for trading. Gambling in here was very transparent and was controlled by the algorithm and probabilities unlike in the house, they have the control in money and the win rate is very low.

Almost a tie between the options: to earn money (14); I want to try my luck (12); It's a way to spend free time for me (13).
I think those who want to try their luck and those who want to spend their free time are on the same group. So those who just want to earn money aren't a majority at all. It's a signal of a mature community that knows gambling risks and that it's not a method to earn easy money, although there are some people who are able to live from the income of this activity.

Exactly, there is a tie, between earn money and spend time, and try luck. Actually, man make gambler when he has free time and he try to other short ways to earn money, then gambling is only one way where he has all options to spend his time and try luck and if he has good luck then also get money.

People gamble because this is the fastest way to earn money without doing hard work. And due to this mentality, many people have been coming towards gambling and as per the time, they make this thing to their full-time work for making money. And they just accepted that they can do a lot better in this profession. This is what the current situation of the users who just began playing in gambling sites. After losing, the users will increase the further betting amount to recover previous games money. And in the recovering, they will lose more money and takes lone to play more. So it's just addiction or nothing more. Where you spend your savings in the hope of earnings.

To start gambling you have to make a direction, I mean what is your interest and what is your side. If you make it them correctly when you start gambling then you will not fall to gambling addict. I saw a lot of people who fall to gambling addict are just because they didn't know something that should be fulfilled and something that should he leave. So, they play with a lot of burden until they keep spurred and spend lots of money for betting, with the result that they must try to replace all of money that he spend and finally they got addicted. Different with someone who play gambling and he start with makes a decision that gambling just for side income or side for entertainment then he will knows when he should stop to play.

Of course it is the money that is the key or sole motivation for gambling. There might be people who would claim that they gamble for joy and entertainment but that is a small portion of the whole population of gamblers. I think that it is money that motivates an individual to enter the world of gambling and make easy money rather than getting involved in businesses that require them to work hard.

If you choose money is the key to gambling, then you need to prepare for losing your money because, in gambling, you will be hard to make money. You can make money only if you have luck so you will be able to make money from the game.

Many people motivate to chase the money because they hear from other people who can win in one game, but they don't know how much money that person lost before they can win much money. I think that is not worth it because no one will know how much he will spend the money before he can win big.

Many start gambling with the aim of increasing their initial capital or money at hand without doing any aggressive or muscle required work. This mostly end as another way of amusing oneself whether results are good or bad. The reason why we see people betting even when the odds are nothing to write home about. I rather see gambling these days as fun for most who engage actively in it.

  Truly that is the motivation behind why gambling is being famous currently people are spreading awareness about gambling  and they are empowering individuals by demonstrating to them their earning from gambling , my key reason to gambling is on the grounds that it enables me to invest my energy well, it gives benefit and I think of it as a simple method for profiting.

I am just experiencing how it feels like to gamble in an online casino, as of now nothing compares it, rather than going out personally I would just sit here relax and play anonymously. I don't have any gambling friends to hangout therefor I chose this method. Maybe if ever I encounter some buds I will go out again for there is a lot of fun if you have partners in crime.

Gambling is a good distraction and I think it is not bad to gamble. I am not promoting gambling but I think that if one can win, why not to gamble. There could be reward if you win and the loss could be equally full of lessons. I think the main reason why so many people are in the gambling industry in the motivation to make money.

That is why that bitcoin casino, the VegasCasino is kinda interesting. Even you lose you can still felt that you are a winner because of bonuses that you get especially on your first deposit. Going back on the topic, gambling for me is for fun, just to kill time and enjoy myself besides, I wanna try my luck on it but I never see it as for getting profit, however, if my luck does let me win then probably I would gladly accept that. I've already known how much chances I have on playing casino games so I set my mind to never chase profit I am here just for fun and it's worth to spend your time with.

Exactly, many people have claimed that they just gamble because of the entertainment purposes. But their main purpose, as well as intention, is money. Many people think gambling is just game and anyone can make the money with the help of it. And after playing and losing the money in gambling that time these people will realize what is gambling. You can take gambling as fun but for that, you just have to play it once or twice a year. Then you won’t get addicted towards it and may not lose the pretty much amount. So keep yourself away from the gambling otherwise you will not get the chance to keep it way.

All of us we are want to earn money why we play gambling and no people who do not want to lose their money to the gambling right?
But also it feel me relaxing if I play with my free time because it's look a game when I enjoyed when Im playing and of course when I win.
People have different other reason for playing gambling and Im sure we are same to earn money.

That is true and we should not hide this true to ourselves. I don't think there is any other reason in my mind when going into gambling if it is not to make money. We may said gambling is for fun but the really fun of it is to make money and winning.

I think what happens in gambling is purely determined by some factors like Experience, LUCK if you believe in it, and knowledge about what you are dealing with. This will enable you think and act rationally. In addition, I think it is important to have money making mindset and not just willing to loose the money you have to gamble with. What will you gamble with if you loose that money?

I play in vegas casino as well but we play for different reasons sadly. Even if i dont want to earn money, I play in casinos because one, it can help me spread my social relationship with others since the community of casinos are huge. two, I play for the fun, the thrill of it and since Vegas offers benefits for deposits made, why not do it more? Cause of that, i can stay at ease since I can play while knowing I still got a bit out of the deposits I made. Its really that and nothing else id say.

To me gambling depends on mood and want some time you wish to gamble for fun and at some other time you gamble to make winning by placing bets, but in recent time lots of gamblers are in it because of the money which is why most of us are into gambling to make a fee buks.

I jumped into the gambling in the hope of making some quick money without much effort, but as the time passed my dream of making quick money shattered and i lost all my funds.

Right, actually not only 2 reasons, but most of the reasons for gambling are indeed that 2 things. but I once asked my friend why he
keeps playing gambles every day, he said he didn't have a definite answer, he just followed instincts and habits. lol

Honestly, i also gamble for fun and entertainment because i don't want to experience any negative effects of gambling like extreme addiction and being greedy in betting, that is why i only gamble for leisure time and i am controlling myself when i am starting to win a huge amount of money in gambling for me not to lose a lot of money. I think vegascasino do really has great offers like fantastic bonuses and casino games like poker, baccarat, roulette, blackjack and video slots that i really enjoy and  help me to earn huge amount of money.

  Some of the time, instincts is a leading sign of our luck, it brought us high confidence to deal the game. I prefer to play gamble when I just want to relax and release from anxiety. And I found this field as entertainment and convenient place to engage people around.

Maybe gambling became a part of his system, he keep engaging himself and he's finding leisures with playing gambling, those reasons  are not instinct, but since our mindsets can adopt various system around there's also some chance that he can't define anymore why he/she continue playing.

i'm sure the main reason someone gambles is to make money, unlike when they already know gambling that is experienced, maybe someday they will gamble just to fill their spare time or just looking for fun but still, behind all that there is an expectation to get money in gambling

What is certain is gambling for me is just pleasure not to make money. I understand, all the goals people play gambling must be different in general. I have never questioned if people seek opinions in gambling. It is their right and I have done it before. But now the main reason for gambling is just pleasure.

I knew a few people on our place that only gamble because they want to past time and they want to combat the boredom . They are mature people so gambling is the only way that can make them happy the most  .

Others that are youngers are i think only plays gamble because they think that gambling is an easy way to earn profits . Thats true actually , gambling is easy as 123 but the risk is also huge . You can loose or won in a blink of an eye  

yes, but i have known some rich kid that do it only just for fun because money is not important to them. These are the type of gamblers that will not discourage even at loss in a huge amount of money. For them, they are only after on enjoyment especially if with friends doing the activity.

Other reason would be due to a long time hours waiting of something. It is better be good that one should do something during vacant times and gambling is an option.

Exactly. Money makes the mare go and in this case, it is nothing else but money that triggers the stimulus for gambling. There might be different school of thoughts but the one with some good evidence and reasoning is this one. Playing a game in a casino is like labor and you have to be compensated for the labor hours you provide. If you are willing to provide labor hours by gambling, you would of course expect back wages or compensation (Keep away the risk factor here.

It is the greed that makes people easily get into gambling. Got into the casino and tried to get a bigger payout. In the try I had my limit set before getting into gambling. Today with the balance of 0.005btc tried to get it doubled with the roll of 0.0001, but I ended up with a balance of 0.0043btc. If I had thought of recovering the loss I might have lost the entire funds.

More precisely, everything always revolves around a problem that is money, people are greedy but this greed starts from the attraction of money, and the passion for money is always very intense, setting limits will not lock this desire for too long, sooner or later, this lock will be broken and as a result, participants in gambling will lose everything they have. Knowing the reason but to prevent this reason, it is still a story that until now, many people are still looking for ways to stop, and perhaps all methods will not work unless we give up gambling

of course for most people who gamble they play surely expect something to be able to make a profit. although he is not an expert in gambling the main factors that they can want in gambling, of course to get money. only a few people gamble to get pleasure and that is only done by people who have a lot of capital so that he plays gambling just to find fun

Does gambling for pleasure makes you addicted?
I kind of think they do  but I am not very sure.
 I would like to know your response on this.

^ Let me answer into this.
A self-limitation was always there to bypass being addicted from the gambling, I understand of chasing money but at least once you have been a loss you must know on it. Stop when you set amount had lost and come back in the next day.
That should be involved money, of course, the reason why you are in gambling is just for money, hunting money is good but do not consider as a source of income.

gambling for me is a way of fun. I don't play to earn money because casino always wins and only lucky one can take jackpot.

If you take opinion from thousands of people, majority of the people will tell you that they are playing gambling for money. Only a few will be playing for fun only or are habitual gamblers.

How is that fun to you? Even if you are saying that gambling for you is to have fun, what fun is that when the casinos are taking your money? For me, it would be much better if you can just treat your family or your friends to a restaurant close to you. Also, if you will not stop gambling for fun, you get addicted to it little by little.

It is for you mate but for the other players, they'll consider this a bread and butter for them, considering this a source of income to sustain their needs.
It is not a question of why casinos will always win cause that makes them stand for a long time.

Let's be serious and genuine here, everyone who gambles always think for the potential money that we can win. It won't be that much but we have that on our minds. We know that casino always wins but it doesn't mean that there's no chance for someone to win even for just few times. And as you play, you will experience some unexpected moment of winning even though that you're playing not to earn money. Your key reason is to have fun but you can't ignore the fact that you have a chance to win and become lucky.

It is a very difficult thing to consider that gambling is a source of income, you can't juice up gambling site to sustain your daily needs that are very risky to us to consider. Anyway, I also thinking of this but unfortunately, this isn't working out because I don't have luck enough to make a profit. But this is the fact and what gamblers came up their mind that the reason for gambling is to earn a profit on it, we have our different perspective on gambling we respect their likes and mind our own business.

I guess thats true but there will always be some group that is lucky and able to make consistent money.  That is just how life is and it isn't fair.  The key thing is to not let the jealousy consume you because believe me, I have been there before and it is a place you do not want to be.

There's a lot of type of people gambling, there's for money, there's for entertainment, but whatever reason any person gamble he should not allow himself to get addicted to this, and the only way to do this is to limit their exposure and allow only the amount that he can lose in gambling, adding more will get you hooked to gambling.

I think there is only two, that two specifically.

I mean, what are the other things they will get from gambling, right, just these two: money and entertainment. I know there might be people that are aiming to break a certain gambling record, to get revenge from a certain person but I think these two is the most popular reason why people are gambling, it is their common answer to the question, why are they gambling.

Most people gamble for the sake of profit because they want to be rich in an instant. They gamble their few amounts of money thinking they will win after they play until they just spend more money recovering their losses until they are in debt. In reality only few people gamble to lessen their stress or boredom.

Addiction will always kill the people because they won't bother about their investment into it, i have seen many people who lost their money who are addictive to the gambling and we should consider gambling as entertainment where you can invest the money which it shouldn't hurt you.

Most? I don't think so, most people who think that way might end their interest in gambling very soon as they will be disappointed with gambling.
Those who got rich in gambling are those who have the skills and they are consistent in wining, but they also risk a decent amount of money, not a small money expecting to grow it many folds, that's a poor gamblers mentality who only relies on luck to win. There is no future that way.

Statistics says that much more people lose than win, even if profit sometimes big. So profit is rather rare comparing to loss. But in many games profit could be much bigger than bid , making quick and easy money.

That’s what gambling is all about,to win small but to lose big and this is the nature of this area if you don’t know how to deal with it

But try to be responsible gambler,a person in which can manage to go home whe he had already winnings even not that big

But the problem is greediness,when a gambler won’t be contented with the winnings instead always looking for bigger and bigger win,so what ends is losing

Hey, isn't it exactly vise versa? There is a possibility to win big with a small loss, only this drives people to set a bid.

And yes, if a person can't control himself , he is likely to end losing everything.

You do not call it “profit” in gambling. Profit is a term for business and not gambling. You might be able to make some money in gambling but that rarely happens if you do not have everything it takes to win at the table. So yeah, it is the money that is the motivation behind why there is a huge influx of gamblers in the market. This is a cut throat industry.

The best reason for playing gambling is because we want to enjoy the games without thinking about the win money. We don't care about the result, but we make a limit for our money, so we don't have to lose much money, and we know when to stop the game. That is important for every gambler, so we know what we need to do in gambling games.

The sole motivation behind my gambling story had been pure luck. I entered gambling by chance or luck and won for the first time that first day. I was able to figure out if you could predict to a good level of precision's, you go very near to win at gambling. It is not that I did not loose but my wins are more than what I lost and yeah, money had been a driving factor for many people around who gamble.

Human wants to achieve more than they worked for. More than they deserve. And get it quick.
And when people are familiar with the chances of wining in gambling, they can't stop the urge to gamble and win back their loss. They believe they'd be lucky some day but they don't realize that the longer they play more they get unlucky.

This is a reality and this has been the motivation and a force that has been driving people forward. We gamble to make money or to enjoy but we want badly what we desire for. The general perception is about the money that is considered as an easy task. In addition, gamblers today derive inspiration from the rich gambler and since they also want to be rich, they purely look for profits.

Well, the main reason for gambling is obviously Money what more? Right? Yes, happiness but people's happiness was Money I am not talking to rich people but that was true almost 90% of gamblers is just seeking money and that's their main reason. They gamble because they want more money, greediness isn't? That's people I also believe in my self since I never try to win in gambling because of greediness. I just want to win more and it will end up lose everything instead.

I gambled to test my ability and precision in predicting some soccer matches invariably earn some money as an extra source of income.
My passion for soccer games is huge thus transferred my soccer analysing skills to betting staking with the amount of money I can afford to lose. So far I haven't done badly the little money earned is quiet reasonable and very helpful for payment of some minor bills and other expenses.

Yeah I have been experiencing it as what you have stated but i did not made any regrets since I can managed also to balance my life with gambling and spenditures for the needs. In fact I was greatful to know how to gamble as it seems that I get  a real life in it. The fun, excitement and the feeling of being.lucky is one of the best things that happen when you gamble.

Since I can manage to win in games this is why I am not discourage on any losses that will going to happen. We know that gambling is really a game based on luck.and I can sense I have more luck building up my confidence when betting.

I have been trying my luck for years but have lost more than I thought than winning big.  I thought my prayers to get more money to pay my debts are going to be answered by my luck but not really. I win some but also lose some. The largest so fat that I have won so far as 48EOS, not so much of a money but that's one goodexperience.

Profit , instant money, JACKPOT is what in the mind of most gamblers which what drives them to gamble in the hopes
of getting it. of course not all them are  like that there are some who do it just  to be entertained with the side thought
of "I might win" but doesn't really care if they lose or not.

That is what is actually in our mind, we want to win big and become very rich and have financial influence on other and that is why we gamble and play jackpot. I don't think there are some people that play gamble without foregoing in mind.

Everyone likes to win, everyone would like the highest possible reward, it`s normal. What isn`t normal is to expect that from every bet, from every gambling session, that to happen all the time. Gambling is the game of winning and losing, you need to be satisfied even with little gains sometimes, cause wishing for more is greediness and that can take all the way to the bottom.
Gambling should be entertainment, if you win even better, but to not despair if you lose. When you gamble like that in most cases it will be just fun.

No I actually think the driving force for gambling is entertainment from the risk itself.   Its ironic that its the riches exactly, thats the prize sure and people go for it but the real buzz is from the risk factor and hence why its dangerous that people will continue on regardless even when its not likely to gain a profit.     This is why good technique and discipline is required to build up a good winning streak, knowing when to take profits etc.   Its more complicated then just going for a simple win, its a process

Human nature is very demanding. You would see very few people who sell in the market at a price slightly more than its cost. This means that everybody in the market wants to make money and same goes for gambling. If you are in the gambling arena, your first priority would be to make money and enjoy in the same time unlike few people who do not look for money.

But we forgot that to win big in the gambling site needed luck and we don't know when that luck will come to us. We still playing even we already lose in many times because we have a reason to win the money. That will not worth it if you still spend more money just to chase the win money because it is better to know when you need to stop and try in the next days.

As looking into the poll, it is the majority of the gamblers has been in doing gambling for the seek that they could take the winning jackpot. But it is too sad that only those gamblers who have luck will just win the competition.  We can't deny that chances of winning in gambling is so thin but we are actually trying to do it cause we just hoping to make it right and in a perfect time.

It is actually logically if people think then what % of total players will win the jackpot and out of that will we be lucky one form the rest to win that jackpot. Instead can we invest in something else and get better returns than losing that money in gambling?

So money is what we have attached with everything. You would not see someone taking risk for nothing. Of course there is always an expectation for award or return if you are taking risk and this is what happens in gambling as well. Data shows that more than 90% people enter in gambling for making money and being influenced by the charm of the people who make fortune in gambling.

yes, most people gamble of course there is hope that they want to get that is to try their luck to be able to make money from him. they are aware of the risks to be faced but it is inevitable that some of them make gambling as a way to make money

LOL... people like you will never understand why people take their chances in gambling. See... when I purchase a lottery ticket worth $1, it gives me a chance to win a jackpot of 25,000,000. I admit that the chance may be like one in a billion, but still it is there. Now let's heed to your advice and purchase some stock like AAPL or GOOGL. Can they give me 25 million times return? No.

I want to try my luck that is what I voted as well. Most of the voted for to earn money in gambling field but that is not the fact idea to stay in the gambling industry. If you want to invest your money on gambling by feeling it, to earn you will never succeed it.

I start gamble to see luck in sports betting and casino games in this I met with profit in sports betting to make the money.

Myself not much attached to gambling but whenever I am having chance I will surely go for trying my luck nothing more.But playing for making money is the intention of most gamblers even if they don't say at this pool. ;D

Yes all the thing you said are right, we are working to get something, if an investor use to invest then it only because he want to get profit, so the same way we are gambling because we want to earn money with it, I am gambling because it gives me source to earn money and also it helps me to spend my time constructively.

What I experienced when I played gambling and I played real gambling, my hopes will definitely win and I am not hypocritical and besides just for fun but still hoping to win.
Don't plan to play gambling to have a lot of money in a short time because in the end it will cause you to lose everything, and stop when you win because basically in the gambling game and whatever the reason is definitely hoping to win.

Sometime I feel that some people play gambling because they need money and they do not have any skills or do not want to work hard in order to earn. So they choose to play gamble and try their luck. If the are lucky, they will get some quick bucks and if they are lucky, they will lose their money.

Personally, I gamble just to try to see how far my luck will take me. And I just do it merely for fun. And it can be seen on the poll that there are also many persons who have the same reason for gambling. In some events that I have participated before, I have only won once or twice. I think my siblings are luckier than me because they get more wins in those games I've participated before. I think that's the reason why I only play or gamble very rarely.

The key reason for gambling? it's just a habit and addiction.

Its not a habit of everyone so there must be some specific reason for choosing the gambling,even if we are denying that we are not here for money most people's intention is to make money from gambling.

You will need to try many keys because there are many doors in gambling and you will need to unlock all the doors to reach at your target. Don’t go for shortcuts because it may not help your more if you are successful in unlocking a door you may get failed in unlocking another door. Don’t get it fun if you are playing and betting at the same time while it is full of fun and entertainment if you are not betting.

I think the top reason if why people playing gambling is to earn money, because when they start playing they want to win every game they play to earn money,then when thet win they feel exciment to bet more and to win more money.

Yes, you're right erning money is the mostly reason if why people play gambling, maybe they will be a lucky one to win more on gambling so, they can save money, and hope they have a goal to save money while winning and not to lose again.

You can't convince people that gamble like that.

I did ask them like that in the past but they gave me an answer that is a question too, "What is the difference? You risk your money in gambling, I risk mine." I answer him that I risk my money for the better, he answers me "I did too". Our argument went on and I realized that our goal is the same but I also told him that the possibility of him winning is much lower than in investing. He knows that but he also said that I am not the same as you people that can read lines and build it into a strategy.

But sometimes, we forget that in gambling, we are difficult to earn money even if we try to gamble with so much money. We only got a chance when we have luck in the game so we could get a big win when we use small money. The luck will be the most thing that we must have in gambling so we can win the game.

Maybe if want to earn money from gambling, that person must know when to stop. Because luck not always in our side and when we not get luck anymore, we can lose all our money instantly.

Disagreeing about money is the main reason for gambling, I'm sure most of them gamble because of trying luck. Indeed, a profit is expected in gambling, but when they start betting they will feel something good if they bet and it is a strong encouragement for them to start gambling.

Gambling do stimulate adrenaline which would lead out to impulsive gambling afterwards that's why we do commonly see people who are engage with this
will typically be addicted gamblers in the end of the road that's why self control would really be crucial into these times.
Reason for gambling? It always targets out on making easy money as simple as that.

Its always great to win money from gambling but gambling is for me about having fun, where you try to predict the outcome of events. In some of the games, it is all about luck but if you bet on sports then it also often knowledge about how a game can turn out.
Gamble because you need money is probably one of the worst reason to gamble.

It can't we worst if you actually win in gambling, winning jackpot is the main reason why people do gambling and even poor people tried to buy lottery ticket and prays that they could win the prize. Just like it happen to a janitor that he become a millionaire because he got the winning jackpot through lottery. Nobody knows that they have luck than of us.

Money is really easy to earn in gambling. I mean with less effort you can win huge amount of money that can change your future. If you're lucky and wise enough how to spend it you can retire on your job and use that money to have your own business. But that is not the case often in gambling, only few people are lucky and most are losing too much money that they are addicted to it.

But i always see that people who think that gambling is a way of earn money, mostly these type of people have lost everything in gambling, and in the end they hands are empty. It is because, they have wrong thinking about gambling, gambling is not a way to earn money, we are not too much lucky all the time, may be sometime our luck bless us and we win big money from gambling, but not every time.

Yes it does not need more effort we can earn from gambling using our mind and our time, gambling is the best way to get profit you only have to spend few hours in casino or some other website where people use to gamble, it is best way to increase your money, we should only try to avoid scammers and cheaters otherwise gambling is really an enjoyable, easy and less effort way of earning money and alts.

I think some gamblers cannot distinguish between typical  regular gambling and gambling addiction. The two are quite different in my opinion. Typical regular gamblers who are able to withdraw from gambling without any withdrawal issues are probably not addicted. Those who have difficulty withdrawing are addicted.

In my opinion, people participate in gambling mainly because they want to make money and if they achieve that mission at the initial stage and later they started making looses, then their mission will now be different from the first one of making money but to recover their looses.

It all depends on gambling being played because there are people who bet because it is only for fun and even then in small bets because if they lose, they will not feel loss.
but most people play gambling to get money in a short time and even then in a very large number of bets to make big profits.

I think its because of enjoyment that gambling can give to us as always while we our playing, so that we don't want to stop playing gambling and if we lose at first our mind tell us to recover the looses until we realize that our capital is lose.

When I am bored, I think about gambling, then if you win you want to win more and if you lose you want to recoup your previous losses and thus addiction.

Earn big amount of money and get rich quick. That is the main reason what most gamblers tends to do. Their money is not enough to their responsibilities so they do gambling thinking they would win but in the end just lose all of it. Even if they win their greediness consume them.

A person prefer to play gambling because of an expectations that they'll be able to get a lucky winnings. They expected that their money will be doubled or even tripled once they luckily win on their bets. Some maybe in need of past time and others became so drowned because of their losses, that's why when worst cases happened they became much addicted to gambling.

Bad concept of continuing to gamble is to try recovering those loses that you've got, it will continue the cycle instead of being satisfied with small
profits you'll be trying to go deeper in order to win back your previous loses, reason which should be removed at the beginning of your game.

If you are betting for fun and you still feel bad if you lose huge amount of money it means you are not playing for fun but for profits. Profits making is the number one reason why people make investments and gambling is not all that different but many of us claiming to gamble for fun but feel bad because we lose and happy because we gain.

For me there is no other reson but to earn money that's all that is really matter most to me. I did everything for money and it makes me excited and I enjoy it. Yeh I believe some people enjoy life because of money well I am one of them I really enjoy my life when I have much money and gambling is really enjoying when I won a lot.

The reason why people playing gambling is not to feel lonely and to earn money . They play gambling they look for enjoyment and look for luck that cab easily to earn money because there income is not enought for daily expenses.

People have their own reasons to play gambling, so we cannot claim for a particular purpose. Some people play gambling just for fun or try their luck, but others may have more serious reasons. I am sure that there are several people to play gambling to earn money or a business purpose. Yeah, the reasons depend on the individual, and they must vary.

According to human psychology, there is always something expected in return for doing something. If you gamble and spend time on a website online, you would of course expect to win at gambling. And win is what you play for because win gives you the money so at the bottom of everything, there is the motivation for money and this is why I am here.

Gambling should be fun, and you should have fun regardless of the outcome.


They look for enjoyment, they can get it, but looking for income to fund their daily expenses, I think they are delusional, this is not a way to earn money, it's a way to loss money, that's the sad true, we will not feel bad if we will accept that.

How long can we stick with our goal when the result is not based on our expectation?

Most of the gamblers I know say that they wanted to earn money and at the same time, they play for pass time.  Most people wanted to earn money, it is given to us, human. Some want to earn money in just a blink of an eye that's why they gamble same goes to spending their time, gambling.

Reasons for gambling will be differs to each and every person.

I will gambling is the stress buster for the people who are tired of business and work for the whole day. We should handle the gambling as a entertainment if we are handle it in emotional way, then gambling is not your game or investment.

It is not good to lose your hope because gambling is profitable for us, gambling gives so many people reason to live good life, in gambling so much profit will be waiting for you, if you will focus on your goal and will never give up on it so you will never lose, it depends on your patience, learning and your strategy to become good gambler.

For the poor person, gambling is the place to find money easily and quickly. They think that gambling brings a lot of profits with low investment. They only seek cash and money. These with the rich they seek exciting experiences in gambling, and they never find profit in it like others. I see that is the difference in the reason they join gambling.

Many a gambler went into gambling mainly to earn money from gambling. Many thought this actions from many a gamblers are wrong but not really, becasue individual gamblers has their aims of joining the world of gambling. We know that,to earn money in gambling seem difficult but still we can make pretty much more from gambling.

It is the same for the high stake game players but mostly they can cover the loses until they hit a big winner.
Dont start gambling for the reason of easy money.

You said the truth and no need to get into any turning point just like what others say for the reason on why they gamble. The key reason for most is to make money out of gambling but it has not been the best day for everybody. Some can make that much and others can turn a small amount into a bigger one when they gamble.

Spending their time to something that there's a good reward and that's in gambling, we all hope that our time would be rewarded with nice wins.

More number of users have mentioned it a way to spend their free time. This is not true, when there is new forms of entertainment getting into the common usage, Gambling is all about money, people find it a way to get a bigger earning risking money. If there is no possibility of money then surely these people who try their luck amd the one using it for entertainment won't get into it.

Why don't the same people spend their time with dance, playing the guitar for getting the same enjoyment from gambling? It makes sense to understand the reason why people prefer to make money and have some fun same time but it doesn't encompass the true bounds of activity. Making risks have predictable outcomes and this is the point where fun becomes debatable.

Predicting is indeed something fun but when we have lost a lot because of wrong predictions, then there is no more pleasure in predicting it and it requires good concentration and will become a pressure to do so. If that happens then the pleasure will only be obtained after winning the bet, so the strong reason is to get money or just try luck with the free time they have.

It gonna be a big regrets for us. I have such prediction and sadly it is too far from what it happens, and so I'll stop doing like this.
It sad to accept the truth that we just gamble for 50/50 percentage both of losing and winning. I know gambling is not for pleasure or just of having not at all but the main reason why we are here is to try some luck and win the jackpot(money).

The majority of people bet because they want to earn a lot of money in a fast way, and this is based on big bets to get a big win even though it is very risky to lose everything.
if gambling is only for fun or just to spare time, they will bet small amounts and if they lose they will not feel the most important defeat can release boredom and pleasure.

  The attachment on gaining massive profits will create to make deliberation aggressively that will lead to gain loses and those people who take gamble, just for fun will bet an appropriable amount. And in gambling, we have to be wise and cautious for possible conclusion.

That's something interesting as reality around this venue of enjoyment always accompanied by risk, you will feel the stress if you already lose huge amount, it won't carry the the things where you always said it's only for fun but reality wise it's not enjoyable anymore.

You are not one of them who play gambling for earn money. When i started, i also have same thinking, but very soon i justified that gambling can't give us money, in this way to earn money we could lose our money. So better to quit this idea to earn money from it and if i play gambling then only for fun wise.

I think it's better you get to relax and don't gambling because when you lose in the game, you will be angry and sometimes, you can lose control of yourself. Besides losing control, you can lose much money because, at that time, your passion will bigger, and you want to win the game no matter if you spend more and more money.

That will not be good for you because, in the end, you will regret your decision to gambling when you get stress, but that will be too late to realize. So you need to stay away from gambling games when you stress, and it's better to sleep for a while.

Why we do gambling? I think the main reason is to earn money.we probably having urge to do gambling because while we playing we enjoy the game at the same time we wants to win and earn such money in a easy way.I was not addicted into gambling but I tried what you feel while your playing gambling. Playing gambling gives you an enjoyment that sometime can forget your problem.
But in gambling we better know when we should stop dont lose your money that your wallet will be empty.control your self do gambling just for fun not for losing to make you empty.

Surely everyone has different reasons in general. For me gambling is only for fun and now maybe not for an income. I am sure that many make gambling an income and that is true. Maybe I will do the same thing in the future because surely everyone every year must have increased needs.

I am surprised that you are a legendary rank member and you do not know about how Gamblers feel, anyway I can say an almost everyone in this community has for once what is gambling and what can it cost. Everybody who plays on a casino is instantly becoming addicted and become a gambler. I will say gambling is not bad but doing it for money is the bad thing. Always remember gambling is just stupid game and never play it as earning sources always play it just for fun.

It is true that need are never ending but one should not get struck for the needs that it has to come form the income of gambling because in such cases people end up losing a lot of their wealth rather than making money from it.

some people consider gambling like a way of additional earning and it's a big mistake. the chance of winning is more if you play just for fun.

In what way does it help your chances of winning? You just play for fun not expecting any result from it. It doesn't depend on your behaviour or personality if you are going to in or not. If someone who plays for fun has greater chances to win then how come they still don't win big amounts. In the end gambling is all about luck.

That is the best reason, because gambling is based on luck and its for pastimes only. Its not really a source of income, but if you lucky then its better. Every gamblers have different reason but it depends on them if how they manage themselves not to addicted.

Indeed, that is the right perspective way how you deal with in gambling. Being gamblers we have a different reason why we like to gamble someone wants to passive income and others want entertainment when they got bored. But when it comes fund involved we must be careful on it we are not talking about wasting money. So for me, I gamble only if I have spare money and usually that is after work when I get bored when I'm home.

Almost 99% of the people come in gambling to win money but most of them do not know how to win in gambling. You can only win in gambling if you have a plan and pateince. Making quick and big decisions  always make you lose in gambling.

Gambling is not a form of passive income but it's an active not unless if you will use some kind of automation  . Gambling isn't also the best when it comes to entertainment because it uses a cash . If you want to get entertain there are better free ways or have a one time payment to do this   . Gambling isnt also the right place to test your luck because not all gambling are based on luck but some are based on skills and strategy  .

No, I don't think so.

Even if you play for fun, well you will be getting your reason, to have fun but I don't think that it will give you more chance of winning. Since the more you play, that means that higher the possibility of you losing. You are dealing with gambling, you are not really sure of what will happen or what might happen, just always remember that you will always lose no matter what.

It is both bothersome and funny that the greatest number is gambling for the sake of earning money when in fact gambling is basically one of the best ways of losing money.

All of the above ,because each of them are the reason for me to gamble ,not i the same moment but each time I play one of those came as a reason.but most of the time my reason is to profit since I am a practical person and I don’t put emotion in everything I do.instead I consider things motivating and seriousness

You said it right but with motivation and skills?the losing part is lessen and we can find profiteering the same time

Of course to earn money why most of the people choosing to play gambling, but for me I play gambling for just having fun for my free time and extra money to get out of stress after the pressure in the office works sometimes I play gambling if I have extra money came from salary.

Because there is no ways to win in gambling especially if we are talking about luck based game. Only luck that may make you win in gambling, no matter how good your plan or how great is your patience but if the luck is not with you then you'll not win. Quick and big decision does not always make you lose as well because once again it is about luck and it may come just after you make the big and quick decision to bet.

Same thinking i have, In started every gambler start gambling for only money wise, it is main reason. But may be after spend some time gamblers change their thinking about gambling, because they can understood that it is not easy to make money from gambling. So few gamblers play gambling to check their luck and some of them are playing for fun and entertainment.   

Big True to this. You will get fun and entertain your self but in the end you will only spending your time wrongly and you will only lose money. The fact that gambling can make people addicted and they will starts to worry where they will get money to gamble again, it turns very stressful and can lead someone to a distraction life.

That's true. So we should find not only key reasons for gambling but also key reasons to stop it when situation will be out of control.

There is only one key reason to stop gambling which is the lack of funds and loss of funds continuously. This happens when the gambler has lost everything through gambling. It is good to spend and if he/she finds it unsuccessful need to stop gambling. When we continue with over confidence what we finally end up will be losing. In such a way it is always good choice to limit ourselves while spending.

Such reasons make sense and basically gambling only wants to make profits quickly.
but in the end you will lose too, winning in gambling is only a lucky factor and you will get a win if you stop when you feel victorious.

there is no need to stop gambling. it's a fun spending of time and people who can't control themselves must be limited in case of gambling.

You can say that if you are not a gambling addict. Gambling is hard to stop when you are already an addict, you will be needing the help that you want especially the peofessionals. But if you are just gambling for fun and you know that it will not eat your savings up, you can continue playing as long as you will not be using that money.

Casinos have equally evolved over the years, you don't need to play your games all by yourself as you can now chat with other players while you gamble which makes up for socialization and excitement, which means no more lonely times.

Then gambling for the money: AFAIK the money aspect should be the primary reason as to why people gamble... maybe looking to make some fast money to finance their weekend getaway or whatever the need the money for.

If so, then there is no reason to stop because you are free to stop whenever you want. So as long as you have a reason just to have fun, then you no longer need to think about when to stop, this is different for those who gamble to get money, because when you gamble to get money then at least you also have to determine the right time to stop so everything can be controlled properly.

That's what he is saying, there's a reason to stop when you can see that you are out of control already. Someone who won't stop at those times will be rekt totally, you need to take time and stop immediately before anything else happens negatively on you. It's there that gambling is fun and it's a good activity if you can control yourself but not everyone can do that. Limiting themselves would be ideal but how many of them are actually following that?

There is no person who gamble for fun only. All gambler want to earn money through gamble and if you are saying there is any, that gambler must be gamble with free money or faucet only. Do you have fun while waste your money?

Agree, who are addictive to it, will always stay gambling but people who are not addictive will stay without gambling. People who enjoy playing gambling will always invest a little amount of money into gambling.

If you can find fun things and you can enjoy the games, then you can continue playing gambling. But if by playing gambling, you become greedy, you want to chase the win money, and you spend more money than you can thaught, then you should get out from gambling places as soon as possible because you will lose all of your money.

There is no need reason if that is what you will do in the gambling games because if you still playing gambling, your chance to become addicted to gambling will wide open. People should know about the risk of playing gambling, and they should take care of themselves before it's too late to realize and too hard to quit gambling.
