There are some people gamble and lose. if you ask them why do you gamble? They will answer you "just for fun"
They know they are loser in long term and no strategy works, but continue to gamble for fun.
How can enjoy something that you know you will lose? Is losing money really enjoyable? Isn't there any other entertainment you can enjoy?
I think these people are still hopeful of winning back previous losses or they are addicted. Gambling cannot be just for fun. There are many free games too.

Losing money ain't fun. But from a gambler's perspective, you will find it difficult to understand the feeling that we have on why we continue to gamble. We know the chances, low for winning and high for losing.

It isn't losing everyday but it isn't also winning everyday.

Each individual has our own way to entertain ourselves.

Nobody wants to lose in gambling, no gambler will tell you that he is playing to lose, he wants to win and he will get and employ the best strategy so he can win, what we have is a responsible gambler who knows for a fact that you can win and you can lose, but you don't want to lose and at the same time get disappointed and depressed, so it's better to have have some fun and enjoy the excitement while playing.

Just for fun is just a statement, but the inner mind always agonize for a win. Not only win, the earning is the big thing that makes the common people spend good time on gambling even after loses. In simple terms, mentioning it just for fun is a way to pacify thyself out of the loses. Think of gambling without money or an earning possibility, none will say just for fun anymore.

Your analysis about the gamblers is wrong. Most of the gamblers gamble to gain money and are not here for fun only. People risk their money only because they want to get some quick money. Only the rich people can gamble for fun only.
Also losing money is not enjoyable. Think that you have come to gambling to get some fun and in this process you lose all your money. Now you will feel sad and unhappy. You cannot be happy knowing that you have lost the money.

When people gamble their money and the results are positive, that is when they find it fun. But if they gamble and subsequently lose, they will try as much to feel the satisfaction of winning.

Although I do not want to eliminate the possibility of people gambling due to the enjoyment they feel, most gamble with a primary goal in their mind- which is to win and to earn cash quickly. The endless cycle continues until a person drains his/her earnings and starts to look for alternatives in finding cash to gamble again.
Unfortunately, while it may seem that they are enjoying, they do not see the negative implications that arise from this.

Let me focus on the science part of gambling here!

Have you ever done Sky diving?? If yes, then you must already know that you have to sign a bond with the sky diving company which states, if anything happens to you during the entire period of sky diving, the company is not responsible for that. Even though the actual number of deaths are quite less, but still sky diving is very risky adventure game where anything and everything can happen within a blink of an eye! Still millions of people enjoy this risky adventure every year and the number is increasing steadily! Now the question is why many people still show interest in sky diving even after knowing the risk? Different people will give your different reasons but above all, it's pure Adrenalin rush!

Gambling activities cause similar kind of effects on human brain. If you wish to read the scientific reference of it, please see below link,

http://www.ncrg.org/sites/default/files/uploads/docs/monographs/ncrgmonograph6final.pdf

So human mind looking for releasing stress and enjoying Adrenalin rush, does not bother for money! I hope it sufficiently answers your question! Our views can be different than this, but gambling is a method of relaxing! An adult's way of relaxing rather!

Not all gamblers know this thing; some of them still in the mission of finding "the best strategy."

Nevertheless, let's assume this particular gambler know that no strategy works in the long run and continue to gamble.

Let's say after 10,000 rolls, the probability of winning and losing would be equal, there is a chance that you will get lucky in the first 100 rolls (let's say 70% win rate), and get extremely lucky in the first five rolls (100% win rate).

My point is, we don't know for sure if we will win or lose at one particular time (discrete).

People mentioned above are sick and need help actually. Gambling responsibly!

Don’t look for things in single perspective here mate because Yes there are some People who gambles for Fun and there’s are others who gambles for profit

The one who gambles to Gain  money has a bad issue if they lose because wins is what they expected..

The one who gambles for Fun has already allocated that money the gamble for certain occasions so even if that amount losses won’t affect their feelings because it was expected already and if they get winnings atleast it was considered as bonus or extra income,

I didn't say all gamblers or most of gamblers. I said some of gamblers. Maybe it's better to say " a few gamblers". That's what I have read in some posts and that is exactly what surprises me.
I also said that they are addicted or play to win back their losses. So, I don't agree that some people play just for fun.

And there are people who do both: gamble for fun and gamble to gain profit.

Losing money is indeed not fun, but it's not the reason why gamblers consider gambling fun. It's the feeling of winning a certain challenge, to see what will happen next, if the outcome will favor them or not. And it's fun, right?

Well, a non-gambler won't truly understand the feeling that gambling brings to a gambler.

We can't blame people playing gambling for fun, because some do it because of their hobbies because of gambling. Surely there is a limit to money to play gambling, not playing to lose. The goal is indeed to win, by winning certainly makes happy.

If you are rich enough then it would be only fun. But if you are not then it would not only fun. Because if we lose always and play continue then what about lost fund? Usually gamblers always try to recover his lost fund and that's why he play continue. But how will play a gambler if he don't have money ? For me sometimes I play and lose fund and after that avoid gambling for few days. So I can say I play just for fun. I can't continue longer when I lost because I am not rich enough and I am not ready to loss always.

TBH I was one of those people who gamble mostly for fun the profit is just a bonus or trophy to brag.
And my reason back then is because it was fun and thrilling I mean there are games that would be boring to play if there isn't money involve right.
But I got over it and stop I just found a new things to do for fun and excitement.

Man seems you didn't understand one thing here, don't look gambling like a way of losing money. When you want to play assassin's creed for example, you have to buy and pay in disk, yeah? So look gambling that way too. You have to pay some money in order to play online casino games. But it fully depends on you how much you gonna pay, you can play with minimum money and get satisfied if it's really for fun, worths for some bucks.

The fun begin with you started to win money. Or perhaps those saying that they gamble for fun is playing money that they can afford to lose. They can sleep at night without the worry of the money they have lost in a casino. Of course there are other means to entertain someone, but gambling is very different though. It gives you some sort of rush or pump.

Question though: Do you gamble or trade?

If you think so that means you haven't tasted wealth or associated yourself with those who have wealth. The money you value are worthless to some individuals due to the excessive supply of the money. The true of the matters is we have some set of individuals who gamble just for fun. They don't care If they win or lose. Using myself as an example, not that I'm wealthy as the individuals I talked about above but, my recent decision of joining the Bitcointalk premier league prediction game had no monetary motives behind it. Meaning I just joined for fun.

That's not my first time of gambling for fun sometimes I use gambling to kill the boredom, which was also one of the reason I join the gamble pool I highlighted above. No body gamble to lose although when gambling for fun you don't get affected if you loss, you won't get addicted as you don't consider it a source of income and those are the benefits of fun-gambling.

so i guess the OP have the answers already. every gambler has their own reasons. but the adrenaline rush when you are playing is priceless. this is one of the major reasons why gamblers keep on playing and playing again!
but some who said that they play just for fun are really not true to themselves. of course, they want to win also at some point. but if there's little to no money involved, they are after for the fun experience of the game.

I gamble for the adrenaline I get from it as well. I've got plenty of money to use after paying all the bills and such from my job and this forum, so gambling's a great way for me to kick back and relax after a long day or a couple long days. I'm currently in the red like most people are with gambling, but that's the price you'll be paying for this sort of entertainment. You'll pay in one way or another for any form of entertainment you enjoy, money just happens to be the payment for gambling.

Some people don't gamble all the time though, not everyone ens up becoming addicted you know.
When you gamble very little, it's definitely possible to end up winning and staying in the positive.

Or even if you lose a little bit, you've still had your fun.
Other forms of entertainment also cost money, there are people who spend thousands of dollars on in-game items that offer no value.
What's different from gambling in those cases?

Most of the time those kind of lines "just for fun" is just really a cover up on their true aims why they do play gambling and rest assured majority are hoping to make some winning why they do play and theres no question to that.It isn't really fun to lose up money but there are really people who do play gambling without minding even if they do lost as long they do get out the entertainment that they do seek or in short they are paying for fun instead.There are really lots of free games for you to enjoy on but people do really like
to experience the thrill when you do gamble your own money and the feeling is totally different among them.Gambling is intended or solely created for fun but for business owners this is the best milking money making machine for them since we know that humans are naturally greedy.

Those who don't care are the ones who are really rich. And its okay to lose as long as you enjoy it, does not affect your life and you don't become an addict and try chasing your loss. Losing for them is like paying for having fun. Relate this form of gambling to watching a live show. You pay to watch that show and you enjoy it. Similarly, you pay to have have fun with some dice and card games. If they win, they consider this as a bonus or a reward.

Because it’s their free will and that’s what the reason why they play it’s none of your concern ,we have our own ways and agenda in playing so just respect what their stand is
That’s their problem mate ,if what is their feeling it is not your business.do your style and we will do ours
They are not hopeful,they are contented in what they are doing.dont you have friends or relatives that enjoy to play than to seek winnings?if not they you have the problem here

Many times for some players they are not motivated so much to win, if there are certain failures in the game it differs in each person as they assume it, there are people who play a lot, in fact they do it to feel the adrenaline and they are protagonists in what they do. When they play time they pass very quickly and they are not only failures, there are streaks that are profitable and since they are people of a lot of money they do it without more, there are many people in the world who have so much money that they do not know what to spend it on and One way to do this is through the game, bets produce emotions.

In my opinion you are mixing two different concepts, gambling for money and gambling for fun, if a person is gambling for profit then you are absolutely right, it does not make sense to keep playing if you are losing money, however gambling for fun is completely different and let me give you an example, suppose that you watch a movie in the movie theater and you pay for it, if we use your logic then why you paid for it? You could watch that movie in a few years at your home for free, except that it wont be free since you need to have a TV on the first place, my point is that many things that we do for fun cost us money and gambling is not an exception to this.

Of course people play gambling not only just for fun they also hoping to got win, but if don't believe some of gamble are pure gamble for just having fun wiining is extra benefits even always loser they continue to play gambling because they get benefit to out pf the stress in the work to entertain theiirself.

I suggest to just ignore those people who keep saying that gambling is for fun while they keep losing on the process. They want to be like that, so be it.

Sometimes these people are just saying they are into gambling for fun but deep inside, there's a big desire to win, who else doesn't want that? Or these people are already a pure gambling addict to the point that they now consider gambling as a stress reliever no matter how much they lose.

People can't understand one another so don't take that as a big deal. Even how you care for them not to treat gambling as fun you will just be ignored.

Mind your own, mind their own.

If anyone tells you they are totally gambling for fun when they are clearly losing heavily, then know that it's a facade. Human loves to put their money where they can gain even if it's little and it works for both rich and poor.
It's impossible for one to keep on playing for a long time when they are always losing, instead they will get frustrated and quit.
Even if the wining is little, it's more like a reinforcement for the player to continue playing.

Of course! 'Cause who doesn't long for winning, right? I think all of us wants that.

But for me who is not a big time gambler, I do say that I gamble just for fun. While playing, yes, there is the goal of earning big. But before entering such, my mindset is "whatever happens, I will have fun and enjoy the moment. If I win, then that's a great bonus. But if I lose, it's still okay." I'm already making peace with myself so that I will not have any regrets on doing that. I just don't know about those other gamblers who say they gamble just for fun but that is from my own perspective and that's the way I do it. ;D

That "just for fun" answer to such question is just sour-graping for a loss but for me it's just 2 percent fun while 98 percent i gamble to gain profit out of it. Yeah, you are right, losing money is not fun and in gambling you have to go to that process.

Losing money is not enjoyable, but gambling is not something that you can expect to yield profit, you will just become disappointed if you chase profit and your losses, gambling is fun depending on your approach if you only bet with money you can afford to lose, I enjoy playing dice I feel excited playing it, because I have no idea of getting rich here.

Some gambler may say that they only play to have fun but in reality they are addict and losing money is normal for them which is too bad in the long run. I also play to have fun but I can't afford to lose big money, so I stopped doing that and now I only play if I have the extra money. There are so many source of happiness and gambling is one of them, but you have to know the risk of that one and never chase any losses.

If they answer that they are doing this for fun accept it as it is if a friend is going to watch a movie and they will spend money to go to a movie, will you ask why they are going to watch a movie when they are just going to spend money.

There are people playing games just to have some fun and we must respect them, I talk to some of them, they play for fun and if they happen to win then it's great, they just want the excitement and the thrill of betting, of course, they want to win, but you can win and have some fun too.

I don't really think playing gambling is just for fun how you feel fun while you yourself are losing money. For me, gambling is looking for profit but don't really expect to get it and not to think gambling is all about winning. Lose money in gambling is common if you are afraid of losing you should not play. Gambling is a high-risk game that people have to think twice about trying to double their money. Fun is just a reason for those who lose, if you want to find fun there are still many games without even using money.

I can accept the risk of losing because I don't play gambling with big money. No matter the result is, I never think about winning and losing. I think it's about how we can play the game with pleasure and don't think about the final result. By playing gambling, we will become curious about how we can win the games, but we need to know that playing gambling can be dangerous if we don't know how to treat gambling.

We can search for any other entertainment but coincidence we gather in the crypto gambling. We can share many things that will give us a new experience in gambling.

Maybe the people said that is enjoyable in playing in gambling because maybe they are rich ot they lose only a little and they not affected about the money they lost. But we know when we are stress in life when we play gambling it is reliever and that is really fun but still we need to focus that it is still money and money is everything it can affect our life even our emotions and our happiness.

We all want to win while having fun, right? and we don't want to get depressed if we lose, we like to win because we are spending money, but gambling is a thing where we have no control at all, it's better to have fun whether we lose or win, we will come out a winner if we do this.

Losing money is obviously not a fun thing but if you spend it for something that can make you feel happy or make you enjoy something then it is OK. This is what I understand by "gamble for fun".
If you ask whether there is entertainment on gambling or not, the answer is subjective. If you can enjoy the game, so it is an entertainment but if your main idea is just for money without enjoying the game then there is no entertainment at all. Gambling can be just for fun, it is like when you are spending some money for your hobby. It means that you do not care about the money you have to spend as long as you are enjoying your hobby. People's has their own perspectives on how to deal with gambling.

Gambling is not about fun and not all about losing to there is also a time where you can win. Some people may gambling to have fun most especially rich people since they have a lot money but there are also those who gamble to make money or should I say easy money because some really want to become rich in an instant and gambling is a way around but that is if you are lucky.
Free games on the other hand is nice but if a games includes gambling then it is a little different, different in the sense that it becomes challenging and thrilling knowing that money is at stake unlike when you engage in free games it becomes boring in the long run.

If a gambler just do it for fun, he would not think of recovering his previous losses, he will be happy even if he wins sometimes.
When we have fun, we always allocate funds for gambling that we are ready to lose, just like having fun in other activity, we always pay, so let's condition our mind that we are also paying to have fun in gambling.

The best way to have fun is playing in a physical casino not online, but if we can only do online, it's still alright.
With online gambling, we can choose a variety of games and a type of games, even sports, we can easily bet through online, so its still fun. 

This is a normal situation when people want to spend money on something that is not very beneficial for their health or financial condition. Someone spends money on alcohol, cigarettes, some other habits. Gambling is no better or worse than any other human habits. It all depends on the nature of a particular person. Despite the fact that gambling and everything else are addictive, it does not cease to bring fun.

Those people who always say it's for fun probably gambled less than the regular gambler sometimes it's fun with promotions and competitions but from my experience it's rarely fun even when you're winning.

There are free games that aren't boring some of them have incentives to encourage players and if you're playing with your friends there won't be a time where these free games would be boring. The point is that free games can't be enjoyed by everyone, some will find alternative options on what they think is fun for them.  

It is really the best but we should also consider the reason why we are gambling, physical or online gambling.
Because there are some people who are only looking for fun while working, so they can do online gambling instead going to any physical casinos.

So, there are different people now, some are just looking for fun thru gambling and some are make living on gambling for sure. Making fun with involving money especially on the risky way which is gambling is not really okay for me (since I don't have a lot of money).

We love to gamble but we will more happier if we can win, that's the real satisfaction for gamblers who gamble for fun.
However, the reality is different, most of us gamblers are losing our money, and even our hard earned money in gambling because we have lesser chance of winning compared the gambling house, for obvious reason, which is the house edge.

Therefore, if we like to have fun, we should be open that we will most likely loss when we gamble, at least no major expectation and we are being realistic all the time.

If we will just open our mind and be realistic, we will know from the very beginning that we will never win in the long run, unless we are exceptional like those gambler who make a living in gambling. When we play, that means we are having fun, but if we loss, we need to accept as its part of the game where we loss or win. It's not everyday that we loss so that's alright as sometimes when we gamble we also end up winning, but like I said, in the long run we will never win but if we appreciate our winning moments, we will certainly enjoy gambling even if we will have to lose money in the long run.

Well Gambling was built for fun although people viewed gambling as a place where you can double your cash quickly while having fun and this is the reason why people getting addicted to it and sometimes this is the main reason why most people addicted to gambling ended up losing mostly in financial means and their credit score in banks but the most devastating is the family and friends are moving away from you for being gambling addict. Some people using gambling as a source of income too professional gamblers go to the tournament to win grand prize especially in poker. So, i think gambling isn't just for fun anymore at these days...

Sometimes saying they gamble just for fun or to entertain themselves but losing too much money is just an excuse for some gamblers who want to hide their true purpose.

Well I also gamble for fun but the money I spend is an spare money and I dont chase my past losses, if I win then I treat it as an incentive.

For me playing games with money involve is more exciting compared to those who dont.

I think you are getting the wrong idea with what gambling could be for you. There are multiple reasons to why people still gamble even if you lose 19836492027495 times. To understand reality and how the process works in our minds, you have to study neurology, for sure, but let's talk casually.

• The feelings we experience during gambling is addictive (adrenaline, endorphins, etc). That is what we call Buying Entertainment
• Future Potential Rewards type of program(Games are somehow made to be addictive)

The best thought could be that it's not all about the money, but what people feel when gambling is more appropriate.

Sometimes it just for fun especially to those player who are in control and already knows their limits how much money they will spend on it. But sometimes there are some ppl as well that so greedy wherein the real goal is to win big on it and they spent their whole money on it no matter what happen..  That's the type of gambler mate.  Reason some governments wants to shut down this thing.  Lol

It really is not fun when you lose money when gambling but it is fun and also make you happy if you win especially huge amount of winning that is why gamblers wants to gamble to have fun. In my own perspective gambling will bring you mix emotion like happy or having fun and also sad when losing huge amount of money.

This made me think a little more. Wait, gambling is intended for fun first and foremost. Part of the fun is the possibility of winning and therefore making money. The excitement found in gambling is related to that very fact, that in playing, you could win prizes. That is basically a bait of course. Everybody needs to realize that. But the thing is that it could be won. And there are people who have actually made it. This makes losing a bit worth it because there is a certain goal that may be hard to achieve but still achievable. Even the thought of almost winning, which is essentially the same with losing, could make the gambler play once more. 

That's exactly how it should be.

People should play and game for the thrill of potentially winning. Gambling and taking risks gives people an adrenaline rush, similar to playing dangerous sports or taking on a thrill-seeking adventure. If you think about it, getting that same thrill from gambling, even if you lose a small amount of money is still cheaper than paying to go sky diving or doing something similar.

Because of that, people should always ensure that they are having fun or at least getting excited about winning. If there is anxiety and you feel like you're risking too much, then you're doing it wrong!

Everyone's thoughts are different about responding to gambling, it could be used as a hobby. they not only have fun but also have their own strategies and techniques. no gambler wants to lose, it's just that defeat is considered a common thing.

Losing money is not enjoyable, but gambling is never about losing only. Even when you are betting with very high odds there is a chance of winning, always. That's where the fun is.

Now, the main mistake addicted gamblers make is that they confuse chance with guarantee. Although you always have a chance of winning, it's never guaranteed. Even when you are betting with 98% win chance, you can lose 3 times in a row and more. That's how they lose big money, thinking "I can't lose again! I'll definitely win this bet or the next one!", and bet again and again until they lose it all. While gamblers who are there for fun think this way after losing: "Well, no luck today. I'll try next time maybe."

In short, there are two kinds of gamblers:

1. Those who can accept their losses and move on, who gamble to enjoy occasional wins, and who never chase their losses. They are there for fun. They are realistic.

2. Those who are there for the money. They are so "cool", they never take a loss. If they lose, they know they must recover and win even more the same day. They are delusional.

I think gambling isn't just about the rich. Gambling is not a game of the rich, everyone has their own way to be fun, just because they are poor does not mean they cannot be happy from gambling. fun could be achieved in gambling even if you lose or win, poor or rich.

Everyone should have a stable, well-paid job. And such people perceive gambling most often as entertainment. But if you want gambling to be the main means of livelihood, then this should not be entertainment, but work.

"Gambling for fun" is just a lame excuse made by losers in the game, while in reality we know that people are gambling in order to make profit from their initial bankroll. It's not really that hard to know the real intentions of a gambler, as we all know what's waiting on the other line if luck is on our side. Perhaps those people who are bored to death yet are extremely rich have the rights to gamble for fun and entertain themselves, but for the rest of us? We know that gambling for fun is a joke.

It really ain't that funny if we lose in gambling and I don't know how people just consider this as for fun.
Basically, we come in here to make money and to win the jackpot prize, that is the main reason why we love this game and why we spend money and time in gambling. Losses are common things to happen but people keep on trying and trying for the sake to have luck and win millions someday.

Yes l agree that gambling is not just for fun. People use to gamble expecting for wins. Because some gamblers are just hoping to win in every game. But people saying its just for fun because they only play for not a long time just for their past time.

Exactly.Many gamblers say they were just playing for fun when they lose but not accepting to lose is a bad sign,the one who starts the gambling addiction.I think no one plays gambling for fun rather they play to win money and I think this is the most common case.

No gambler would risk his money just to lose, we all want to win and enjoy at the same time as it's the most satisfying feeling we will experience when gambling. However, the reality is that our expectation is not happening, that's why more gamblers are losing which results to a prosper of business for the gambling sites operators.

They say that gambling is fun, yes it is especially when we win, but since we can't change that reality, we just have to convince ourselves that we have no chance of winning all the time or even most of the time. Wise gambler would say that gamble for fun just to minimize your loses because when you think it's just for fun, it's easier to let go your loses.

No, you are wrong. Different gamblers had a different perception and reason why they are in gambling and even they had lossing money on it still they are unto in gambling. Aside in having fun they also trying their best to win and earn some profit. They want gambling because it has a double purpose, it is earning money while you are having fun.

In my view those who want to consider gambling for fun i think they just want to forget their loss during gambling and being normal after that without regretting their decissions and i think it's necessary to control ourself while gamble and i will agreed with the people who want extra money from gambling but if they lost then they will consider it for fun which mean they will come back to gambling tomorrow without feeling frustrate after lost

I do it for fun.
The money I spend on gambling is less then a lot of people spend on their daily coffee run to Starbucks.
Sometimes I spend more, sometimes I spend less.
If the money put into it is for some reason ALWAYS lost but you are enjoying yourself then it's just the cost of entertainment. Which has been said many times here.

I would rather drink a $4 beer at a bar with a friend then have a couple of $15 drinks with dinner at a restaurant. I just don't drink expensive mixed drinks. Some of my friends do and that is fine. If you are like me do you question them spending $30 on alcohol while you only from $4 or $8?

-Dave

There is no problem if they answer they just want to have some fun, people are coming here to really have some fun, I'm one of them, we enjoy the game after a hard day of work I need to refresh and gambling is an exciting place to go, my goal is not to make a profit, if I did make a profit then I have funds to my balance, so I can play tomorrow with new funds.

Its just the hope that lets people fantasize about being rich.  If they had realistic expectations they wouldn't get the surge of dopamine from thinking about their fantasy.  

It is fun when you are experiencing it with your friends, betting against each other on sports, and knowing when to walk away.

Now I'm confused to spend and losing your money in gambling now. You gamble, you lose your money that is true but that also means you spent your money in gambling that is why you lost your money. But I think it is better to have fun in gambling really, since at least, you are having fun.

Each one of us has our own way of enjoyment. It is not your own money you lose on gambling so we should let them what they want. It's same playing a mmorpg game, you grind everyday making your character strong then after some time you quit because you don't enjoy the game. You don't really earn money and just waste time grinding and even spend real money but the enjoyment you get that time while playing can't be found anywhere.

If you're not a gamble then you can't really understand what's on their mind when they are playing. There's what you call, the 'rush', the abrupt feeling of happiness when you won big and that's what matters for almost gamblers here.


Free games? Nothing fun about it, you can play it all day long but you won't have the same excitement when you involved money in it.

One thing about gambling is that it is usually attached to an interesting game,sport or activity, so at first you enjoy your time even before recording any gain or loss. Real gamblers that do not gamble with dangerous money, set in money and close their mind at it With the spirit that if it doesn't come back,not all days will be sweet and that as a matter of fact, lossing is part of the game.
Only that gambler who are desperate in making money will not find it easy and interesting.

there are free games but some people dont just simply find them entertaining . these people want something that has a kicked , like for example when you drink a beer there a certain feeling that triggers happines compared to other normal drinks  but like gambling drinking beer has also a drawback because you can feel bad later on  .  when you wanted that certain thing  , you will always get it no matter how much will it costs you  .

In another thread, I once told about my uncle who thinks gambling was just his entertainment and he didn't care how much money he lost... but I think differently, personally I consider gambling as a means of profit and not entertainment..
Everyone's opinions are different, so just do what you think is good.  :)

It's different from what other people treated this activities but likewise do whatever you think is best for you, there's no pressure with anything but just you alone who will manage how things will affects your emotions and how good will you take care of your money, there's should always be a limitation in order not to fall into certain position where too much engagements will affects your financial and emotional state.

"Just for fun" is what they always say but do you think they'll stay if there wasn't a chance of hitting it big? I mean, eating is also fun and so is learning an instrument but I don't over hear the "it's just for fun" with those.

Let's face it, we all love the thrill and it can get fun but we should be able to recognize if we really are having fun or just using that as an excuse to cover an addiction.

Addiction is already on a different level. That is already bothersome and beyond reason. Addiction might mean someone cannot anymore control the urge to gamble. That could cost him his job, family, wealth, and everything including sanity. Most gamblers who are really fond of gambling are not on that level yet, perhaps short of it.

There are gambling games that are not fun, but people are still playing solely out of the hope to get rich very quick. A lot of people bet on a lottery combination every single day. There is nothing fun when you just wait for the result which is 99% not on your favor. There are also other types of gambling that are really fun, like poker or sports betting. There are also games that are not really fun and are just made to kill one's time. I would consider slot machine games to be this kind. 

There is no logical judgment regarding pleasure in gambling, Due to the difference in the gambler's taste there are those who really enjoy losing money in gambling and others who are frustrated.

Nothing wrong with gambling as long as you can afford to lose the amount you’re betting with. Gambling can be seen as a hobby, most hobbies cost money.

Absolutely correct ,we are spending money when we play our favorites like golf,bowling and other recreational game (not those free to play like basketball etc.)that we can only enjoy without a chance of gaining money

While gambling is enjoyable and there are also a chance to double or more than your money(but never forget the moderation so we don’t het addicted)

For me, gambling is not just for fun; other people make it their profession. Gambling is a life-changing game that either you will become wealthy if you become fortunate, or you will declare your bankruptcy and also a neutral like most of the people that they not become rich and not become poor they just enjoy their self.  No one will appreciate if they lose especially if they are so severe about winning, but my answer to your quest of ( Is losing money really enjoyable? ) I think a wealthy and lonely person would like to trade his/her money to make him happy. Different ppl have a distinct desire, and if the consequences of that are losing some money so beat it is like buying and collecting expensive shoes, bags, etc. that you don't want to use.  :)

"Is losing money really enjoyable?"

Funny :)
Very deep though.
To be honest, it is possible that very wealthy person could be gambling occasionally for fun. But am not sure if they do that with zero expectation of reward. Most fun things are quite addictive, that is why we are consume a lot of for stuff. So I wonder if a wealthy person who gambling for fun does that regularly or occasionally. The only reason he would gamble occasionally is if he has lots of other things that make him happy.

Because that’s what really our reason in gambling and why are you affected?it looks like you are the one who’s losing money whenever we wanna have fun?

And who cares about you?we will have fun and even if we lose our money it wasn’t your concern,do your things and we will do our it’s none of your business.

Ofcourse we are hopeful to win but if we don’t then it’s fine because our main objective when playing is to enjoy the game because Hobbyists is spending to have fun that’s all

"Loser" at least I agree with that, because in gambling we certainly expect victory and it's not enough just to have fun in gambling. If indeed they gamble just for fun and then they get big or small wins, then they are ready to share the profits obtained for spree or for whatever it is, because basically gambling is just for fun not expecting any profit, so if they make a profit then spending it for fun won't be a problem. But in fact, some of those who say gambling for fun, they always count the losses and benefits, so that is not included in the "fun" section.

This is what a good reason, of course, they have a lot of money so they can gamble even they have loses more. It does not matter how much they will spend as long as they are will get entertain very well. Maybe some people play gambling for fun. Those are the rich people who have a lot of money but to those poor people who play gambling, It is not a game for fun. It is their source of income so they will play it seriously. So, it depends on how your life status is.

Lossing money is not enjoyable cause it can affect ones expense and there varieties of entertainment aside gambling which are enjoyable but they also require ones spending money either I think you only look at the bad side of gambling and ignore the advantage in it.
Mind you, we cant all like the samething think and we all have right to do what give us peace of mind or satisfaction.

It's a mix of things you already said, it's fun and with this you can win some money witch luck

Consider this: You spend money to do almost anything, go to the movies, dinner in a good restaurant, to go out for drink etc, so you are spending money
If you like gambling and consider this a fun thing, it's equal to the another stuff, and you can win some money  ;D

I think out there, people still play for fun although it can counted. Because people who play for fun is when they don't know how to get fun or really like gambling. That is why win or lose sometimes not really important for them. Maybe if win, it can be bonus for them. I am not really into gambling but i know if i play game like dice, i always  lose. That is why maybe i only use small amount of money that actually make me get stressed already. But after that, nothing problem.

You are fantastic! What exactly do you mean by "no logical judgment regarding pleasure in gambling" and "there are those who really enjoy losing money in gambling?"

Gambling is for pleasure. Whether the pleasure comes from the game itself, or from the fact that there is a prize to win, or for showing one's skills, or perhaps to prove something, it is all for pleasure. If it is not, then I don't think one has to stay gambling. 

I don't think there is anybody who is enjoying losing money. If at all, the enjoyment comes from somewhere else but never from losing money.

I agree.

Obviously, if you can support your hobby, there is nothing wrong about it.

There is nothing wrong as long as it is a hobby and nothing more.

As long as we don't complain if we lose money, we can enjoy the games because of gambling game can give us fun things with so many games we can play. Perhaps, you do not believe, and I think you should try it for once, so you know how to get fun in the gambling games. We know that gambling games can tempt you to come back over and over, but you don't have to afraid if you can control yourself because that will be the important things in the gambling games. I believe that there is any other entertainment that we can do, but some people like to play gambling games so that will be up to them.

I am very sure that it is very entertaining and fun when you are on winning streak or you hit the jackpot and only on that part. But when a person lose 2-3 times in a row then no one would treat their game with fun anymore. Though, gambling was really advertise to gamble for fun so maybe yes it is.

This is like when my wife gets bored and wants to play poker for fun  ::)
So we play but half the time Im more focused on the television and hoping she gets bored
If I want to use my brain power to play poker at least let me make some real money!

It all varies from people to people. Of course literally losing money is not fun. However, there are people who are gambling to socialize and just to let time pass, or to have fun. It's juat that majority of gamblers are playing for money of course.

That's more than having fun because you can make money when you play poker, I just wish I'm good at that but I just love sport and I'm the opposite of making money, because I spend, LOL..

Sports is fun and it will be more entertaining when you are gambling on it, however, it's not entertaining all the time as sometimes we also have our bad days when we loss a big amount of money, big amount doesn't mean we cannot afford to lose it, it's just that it gives more thrill when we bet a decent amount

That's the difference between having fun with gambling. We can just get the chance to win when playing and that certainly can get money. Different from other games like golf or bowling which is only for fun.
So it's not wrong, if people have fun playing gambling.

But we can loss our money as well, the problem with some gamblers is they only see the bright side.

Gambling is risky although we will say that we are having fun here because we are using money to have fun, and sometimes, with lack of discipline this result to losing control and bad things happen like gambling beyond our budget, and you know when that happens, it will affect the family, your job, and your relations with people around you. Gambling addiction is the worst thing that could happen to a gambler, so we need to be discipline all the time.

This can be compared to an online game where usually non spenders envies and mocks people who can afford to buy expensive skins or boost their stat quickly because of money. They say that it is just a game so what's the reason of spending huge amount of money. In the first place if you enjoy what you're doing and you can also afford it then it isn't bad to spend money.

Small-time or casual gamblers don't realize that those bigtime gamblers are what making the gambling site or casino alive for many years.

I would not see any hard feelings in losing money  in gambling especially when the intention for engaging in the game is for fun. In short I do not consider the money at loss, and for me that  is only a ticket paid for entertainment' after all its not free to enter a movie hall.

The only people who experience loses are those who play for money because they involve big money to play with the intention to win big. Those of us that play for fun don’t play with big money. In most cases' we use our spare money and this is not an amount that should be considered as a loss, so in my opinion there is absolutely no relationship.

We should not stand in a negative perspective, look at a positive perspective, losing money to get back moments of fun and special feelings, which is an interesting thing, so sometimes you can't feel but other people can feel, lose money and what you can get back is quite interesting. But of course, sometimes losing money like that would be a happy thing, if losing money constantly for gambling, it would be a waste, even gambling addiction starts with such continuous losses, a lot of people have followed this trail

Indeed, this is a bit of good advice. Well, if you will win gambling it is really for fun but if you lose I don't think it's for fun at all. There is no fun if you are losing money. It is a serious thing that people will always aim to win to have a lot of earnings but on my point of view in gambling there is only a few winning and most of the time you will lose. That's the real talk about gambling. Good to hear if you are not chasing money on gambling and yeah, it's having of fun.

No one gambles absolutely for fun, at least there must be an idea of winning or making money through it at the back of your mind, which increases tension and I see no fun in that.
When the term gamble for fun is used, I think what is meant is one should not put ones entire hope in gambling, but should rather take it as a fun activity, where you test your prediction skills ;D, that way it'll reduce the negative effects losses would have on you.

The reason why we are in gambling is not just to have actually but to win prizes. It seems to be useless for me to be here, spending time and losing money without having any chance to take it back. It for sure everyone does and everyone wants to win that is why they'll keep coming back to lose again... ;D
It found to be difficult if we don't have luck in gambling, it is better to stop this (fun games) before it becomes worst.

Gambling should always be pronounced fully, Gambling games.   If its always labelled gambling games then we understand that the game will not always be won, add in that house takes % from every game then the odds either side in a game winning drops some.      Its obvious it has to be for fun, I get worried when people gamble and its not for fun.
  People used to gamble in the lunch hour breaks at my work place and almost every time they were nearly getting into fights because nobody wants to lose and it stopped being fun for them, losing only the money or anger at the loss.   I skipped those bets for the sake of my job :o

Many people will think like that after they lose some money in gambling. But in the other days, they will think that "maybe I can play gambling again this time and see how good my luck." I think that is normal to happen in many people because once they come to the gambling, they will come back again in the future because gambling itself is very attractive and it seduces other people to come.
It is hard to stop the fun things that we've already get, but we can stop it in anytime if we want.

You are right, I think a lot of gamblers who use the terms playing for fun, either do not know the meaning of this or they just use that to exonerate themselves from being classified as gamblers playing for money. I don’t understand the shame in being known for a gambler, its not the same as stealing. Just a hardworking individual that are working hard to make a living, but because of what the community has made gambling look like, everyone would now be claiming to play for entertainment and within them they are after the money.

Like you said, let’s take money out of gambling and see how many gamblers would be left, if they are truly playing for entertainment, there are a lot of free games, why choose crypto games that still involves payment.

Gambling for fun is just what the responsible gamblers are doing, when it affected you when you lose, you are not gambling for fun, but you are gambling for money. In order for you to gamble for fun, you should not risk a decent amount of money, it should be a small amount of money that you are willing and ready to lose, that definition if you follow that, you should be having fun in gambling, even if you lose.

Yup, losing money is never fun. They say they are doing it for fun because they fell that others are going to judge them if they tell the truth. That not true though because most people are open minded about what their friends are doing. But having to tell them that you are losing money because of your addiction sucks and so they use this lie.

That applies for sports betting but not to games like dice, slots and others where the expected value is negative. There it is just fire and forget.

I admit that the form fun of gambling is from the win you get. I am not hypocritical that when I was lose I will certainly be sad, fun that I get if I can profit from gambling. but I realize that there are gambling players who don't care about winning or losing. they play and spend their money, their time because the sensations they get when playing gambling makes them happy.

i dont think that they are only gambling for fun because it cant be fun anymore if you are loosing   .

  me and my friends also play poker and dice game  on our place, we only do it for fun but we dont include betting using fiat or cryptos   not because we dont have some spare cash but because we dont want someone to loose for just a game 

. i will feel bad if i loose or if they will loose    .

Yes, I think it is high time a clear definition of fun is made opened for everyone understands. There is no such thing as fun in gambling and for those who claim to be entertained, I am sure they are also aware that this is only temporary because by the time all what they came into gambling with is exhausted, they wouldn’t need a soothsayer to make them understand that they have made a great mistake.

Those who play for money are also having this fun and that to me is an added advantage. I don’t think is right for one to just go into gambling with the sole aim of having fun only. What happens to making money and as well having fun.

I admit I do play lotto every now and then. I don't see it as fun though, more like "Oh, I got an extra $0.5 lemme try my luck". I think it's similar with mostly luck-based games like dice and roulette, the "fun" part is the anticipation if you'll get a prize or not.

I understand it might not immediately be the case with card games though I think the prize is still a motivation. Typing this while listening to people are pulling an all-nighter gambling noisily outside - at a wake.  ;D Last night tonight, they've been doing this for 2 weeks, hard to believe they kept coming back everyday without hoping of striking it big at least once.

I think some people gamble for fun, and they don't think about the losses because they only want to get entertainment from gambling. Besides playing gambling, some people want to invest in gambling because they think that investing in gambling will give them a nice profit. Gambling will be fun if they can control themselves and not getting deep into the games. They can leave the gambling anytime without any hard feeling so they can prevent from addicting to gambling.

Thay is why it is better that your goal is to have fun.

If you are gambling for the money, you are focus on winning and every lose you take will build up the frustration and can lead to more bad things to happen.

Atleast if you are having fun, despite the loss you have, your goal is met, that makes you in peace.

It will always be fun and enjoyable even if we are losing because our main intention to play is not to make profit but to be happy.not unless you do this for living then there’s really a problem here
So you are not really a gambler that’s why your stand is like this,because your understanding about gambling is too far from reality

If there is a game like dice and poker, there will always be winners and losers. How could you possibly play those games without winners and losers? Winning and losing do not only mean money. It could simply mean winning or losing the game.

But that is not what gambling is all about. If you play dice or poker or any other games offered in casinos or gambling houses and there is no bet involved whatsoever, it means you are not gambling at all; you are simply playing. If that is what fun for you is all about, then you better stay away from gambling. All gambling involves the possibility of losing. 

Whatever you "enjoy" must be beneficial in one way or another otherwise it becomes addiction.. Gambling could be beneficial if it improves skills that can be used in real world for good. It can also be considered beneficial if it pays your bills.

If gambling makes you happy and the happy mood improves your life positively then it is beneficial in this regard too. Gamblers probably should observe their overall life to see if it's really improved by gambling

I absolutely agree with this. Indeed there are people saying that they gamble for fun while they are desperately try to win a lot of money with this activity, or want recover their losses, like OP said. Such people not only misinform others, but they fool themselves too. The reality check for them is that they should honestly answer to themselves whether gambling is beneficial for them or not, regardless of the outcomes in terms of money.

To be honest, they are just saying "Just for fun" as their comfort word. They can't think other reason than that whenever someone or even themselves ask why they are playing gambling. Gambling guaranteed you already that you're going to lose most of the rounds the time you enter the game, and there is nothing you can do about it once you hit that "roll" button or once the game begins, there is no turning back.

The only thing that you could do is to hope that you might btr lucky to win the game and could win a big amount and call it a day, because don't let your greediness fool you.

Well I think that the degree of adrenaline that the game produces is often influenced, and if there is fun in it, it is something different from the common thing and more if there is money involved, there are many who play online for free because they like it, but if you play and win it already becomes something more fun, maybe the losses take them many times as teaching and it is better that way and not fall into vice.

Usually, the "fun" consists of the adrenaline rush the players get when risking high amounts of money and the possibility of winning much more than that. :) That is what the majority of addicted gamblers say. When a gambler really just plays for fun he enjoys the social ambiance, the free drinks, etc.

whats fund ? you mean to say fun ? what about if those loosers are freaking rich and they can just giveway their cash in exchange for thier happiness when they are playing a gambling  .

you can include me on that list because i can also say that gambling is fun but i dont have a big capital and im still afraid to loose even if i will only play for fun and not for the profit  .  there are some that also plays for fun but like me , they also minimize thieir play because money is hard to loose  for a comon man that are not rich .

You are absolutely right, people love games in all their forms, it is not really surprising to see that video games are becoming more and more popular, not only people love to play games they love to watch games as well, some of the most watched events throughout the world are sport events, so I really find it surprising that some people do not believe that people can gamble for fun when there is evidence all around them that people love to play and watch games so they can get some entertainment out of them.

But unlike video games where you lose only some retina cells, in gambling, people lose real money. So it can't be fun for those who are hooked to gambling lol :D

I think it’s much better if you change your gambling strategy it’s not good to use anything for fun when you can use it in better way. If you are having fun at the same time you should remain concern to win so it will give you profit and if you become an expert player you can increase the amount to gain bigger profit I personally gamble to spend my free time with an enjoyable earning.

Yes, gambling is very interesting, and we manage to have a good time, adrenaline is always on. Enough people play to have fun, not interested in whether they will get it or not, they simply enjoy it. Most importantly have a good time, because that is why we give money.

Everyone has their own fun. because gambling is not always about the money that will get but the feeling of winning that makes someone get their own happiness. although sometimes the results are not always according to plan, but in fact it makes people addicted. all depends on the personality of each person, such people who are gambling with their main money and people who only gambling for fun just for adrenaline and trying luck .

As much as possible, we don't want to give our money, our main purpose in gambling is to have fun and win at the same time, but as we matured, we understand that it's not possible most of the time. Gambling is just for fun should be the mentality that we should always keep in mind to ensure that we will not gamble what we can afford to lose, if we are having fun, we are always willing to accept loses and and understand that the house or the gambling sites always have the advantage over their players.

Our matured way of thinking will help us appreciate gambling even for long term even if we have to lose just to have fun.

I honestly have never found anyone like that, most gambling is for profit, only the god of gamblers who have abstinence should not enjoy the results of gambling which might only consider gambling as a game.
or maybe a wealthy person who wants to burn money through gambling.

I have not seen this type of gambler, but anyway what this person is doing is just squandering money. I also don't think that gamblers have fun to waste money by losing rather than getting a win. Indeed gambling about wins and losses but most people prefer to win.

Not all people can manage their time in gambling, but most people will forget about how long their stay in gambling places. Many of us have been busy to play games because the game was very tempting to us. Yes, we give the money to get pleasure in gambling, but we need to have control in ourselves, so we don't spend too much money to gamble. Perhaps, we can make a schedule on when we can gamble in a week so we can prevent the worst thing that might happen to us.

I don't recommend to gamble solely just for fun because it's impractical. I mean, are you not feeling regretful for wasting your money in casinos where in the first place you can find the same hype in more reasonable things/places? Whether you are super rich or most especially just an average person, you should think twice. Always spend with a right purpose :). If you really want some excitement then play video games because it's cheaper than casinos tho or unbox mystery boxes to at least got some cool stuff at the end ;D.

The fun in opening mystery boxes is apparently a lot different than the fun one can get from gambling. For sure, there are different kinds of people and their kind of fun comes in different forms well. A gambler might even find the beautiful beach or beautiful ladies in front of him unpleasant if his mind is still in gambling. Perhaps the thrill of winning that is found in gambling is one of the things why it is different.

If you are a type of a person who can manage to enjoy inside this activities, there's no problem having such fun just make sure you have a good emotions
and you are willing to take whatever it is for the sake of your enjoyment, start well and plan well to avoid making mistakes and be attached too much and addicted to this activity.

We also lose our time there, right?

I usually play online games, from FPS to MOBA games, but at that time MOBA is still not a word.

I spend money at that time, why?? I go to Computer Cafes, maybe PC bong as others call it. We play there with my friends, and I can say that at that time, playing is like gambling. You play for fun but there are times that you end up getting annoyed to people you are playing with. This is true though, that is the reason why our region is said to be toxic or cancerous as they call it.

 Though I am not a coffee person but I think people spend money on coffee drink to help improve their productivity. Does gambling before working helps you work better? Well, only those who enjoy gambling can answer this

That is pretty crazy...
I don't how people think of it. Might coffee will help to stay alert and in focus in our job but not it actually works in gambling. Drinking alcohol will make me out in timing and aren't giving me a good decision. Gambling for me isn't fun, its a serious business but drinking alcohol is definitely we could see fun on there.

^ Nah, I won't agree with all of this stuff. I will consider drinking coffee and will keep you alert also keep alive but drinking alcohol just for fun that is a big no for me. Drinking liquor may give you for fun but in a shorter time and make spend your money more than $15, so expensive right? Sometimes when I get bored and I don't have money to gamble I entertain my self playing mobile games online. It could be used to alternate in gambling if you don't have enough fund to gamble, not just coffee or even alcohol. It make your life shorten in that way.

It's a habit, just like sports with high risk. People in gambling enjoy themselves betting and taking risks on their money. Gambling is fun only if you do it for recreation only and not because of addiction to it.

Gambling and games are not the same things.

In games you can get fun but not the adrenaline as much as you get while doing gambling.

Games got cheat codes but for gambling nothing like that exist.so gambling is really more fun than playing games.

Coffee is for a drink only, and it's not related to anything (well, that's for me ;D)
But I don't think that gambling before working helps you work better because if you lose, I guess that you will want to continue to play. That is because you want to recover your losses before and that will makes you to be late to work. We are in a rush if we are playing gambling before work and it's not recommended. You want to have fun, instead, but you cannot feel pleasure.

I think it's all about the adrenaline rush, and not about the money or the entertainment.

You know what, not all gambling players has the same reason why they're getting in.
It might be true that for other players it is for only, but others played  because it is already their vices, and some
are doing it to find their luck were their small amount of money would become big in the end, something like that.

The worse thing that could happen is if you try to extend or step of the line where it stopped being a recreation, I have seen that happen to other people and there is always the temptation to extend your limit because you always thought the next roll is a big win for you, something that last roll never happen.

What do you mean adrenaline? Gambling for fun is one way to channel a hobby. So it doesn't hurt if people play gambling for sheer pleasure. That is a choice and right, if you win it is a bonus. If you lose it is a natural thing in gambling. To be sure, do not gamble with large amounts if only for pleasure.

Lolz. For some reason I believe they must be Rich whales who did say that to you. I can’t imagine loosing my money just for fun. Who loves that ..?

It’s hopeless to get back those winnings because always remember crypto gambling is difficult and when it comes to the gambling game then house always takes more odds as compare to user odds.

In any normal game they always have odds based on stakes, rounds and plays available for an user.

These odds are always higher and in favour of house.

People doing that for fun must be dumb or very rich and there is no third meaning to it.

I also got interested on what does he mean about adrenaline rush thing here because fun and enjoyment is different from this Rush feeling
We an find happiness when we play if we desire it to be and no to look for successful playing,and this adrenaline rush is for those who plays with the intention of profiting in which sometimes diverts into pushing the limit while betting

there are games(i.e. MOBA, FPS, arcade games etc..) that can give you adrenaline rush. it happened to me before it feels good while your
in the effects of it. I mostly get adrenaline rush in FPS(first person shooting) game specially if it's a clutch game. the weird part is in my
long years of gambling I have never experienced adrenaline rush while gambling I Guess the winning huge amount is the only way to trigger it.

Adreline rush means the reaction of our body into something so he's relating the reaction to gambling.

Read more about adreline rush: What happens when you get an adrenaline rush? (https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/322490.php)

Yes, gambling is a choice and we can gamble to have fun or for some other reasons, you name it. There are wealthy people that gamble for fun because they don't care about the money anymore, they look for something to spend it and luckily, they choose to gamble.

Very weird though if you don't experience that rush that most gamblers feel regardless of the money they won. Been gamblers for many years, I would admit that there are a couple times that I don't get that "high" during a game.

But I will tell you that majority of my gambling exploits, I still have that rush of adrenaline specially overcoming huge odds just to win. And even dice, a very simply but yet very attractive game, give me that feeling, the same feeling when I just started my gambling journey.

To spend is kind of mentality that you are already accepting your loses, there's no challenge on that.
I believe although these people are rich, they also aim to win as every gambler is satisfied if they win and have fun at the same time.

These rich people may just have a lot of money to lose, but they are also making an effort to win, if they lose they will also feel bad as an initial reaction but could easily move one since they are smart to gamble what they can only afford to lose, in short, most rich gamblers are smart gamblers.

At least, that is works for me without a problem because I can handle myself, and I can control my emotion in gambling. Sometimes I feel regretful for wasting my money, but so far, I am okay with that because I don't use too much money to gamble.

I am an average person, but I want to feel fun in gambling although I know that I risk my money every time I played. Playing video games could be an option, and we don't have to use the money to play. Perhaps, later I will play video games again, and I want to repeat my journey in NFS or Warcraft ;D

This is where the mindset of gamblers comes to work. Before going to gamble, they must set their mind that if they will lose they will either not become disappointed or just forget about it and move on immediately. Many are saying that they are happy when they are gambling but deep inside I know some of them are regretful because of what they did. Losing money isn't enjoyable but for some it is not important for them as long as they are happy gambling.

it is true that ther's a fun of gambling and there is also an excitement and adiction of gambling. Actually there's are some people who gamble for the reason that they can win big on it using their own strategy and experienced. And they playing  just for fun because of being so confident , and there are some people also which have no enough experience and knowledge that have a small income and trying to gamble seriously because they are hoping that when they win they can provide for their families needs .without knowing that gambling is a risky game. .that's why they struggling on it to make few dollars and repenting ar the end.

It really doesn't matter if their reason in gambling is just for fun or to earn money, because they are still going to lose. Those rich people are the ones who are playing gambling just for fun and the ones who are struggling in gambling are poor people because they want money. Addiction in gambling are hard to cure, so once you're on it, your money will not stay that long on your bank account.

If you guys don't have anything to do as a pastime, please don't try gambling, instead look for something that is not that bad if it is going to be your addiction sooner or later.

But unfortunately, most in gambling are just people with a normal economy, maybe even poor, they want to get some quick money from gambling, very few rich people appear in this area because except gambling, they have more fun games in life, even though they have so much to worry about their work, they can't spend time and waste vain money on gambling when they know they have little chance of winning. And so obviously, gambling for fun is just a useless word, most players are only aiming for more money and become a gambling addict, economic difficulties forced many people to come here

Agreed with this. The biggest reason why people coming to gambling is because easy and quick money. Wth they want to playing or waste their money for fun? Gambling isn't fun, if you want fun, just go something which you can feel fun like do your hobbies.

Apparently, they do not gamble just for fun.
They have the anticipation to win money from that. And they cover this desire of getting rich with the excuse that they are having fun. How does actually have fun while losing money?

Gambling is just for fun but once you make it a hobby you wont even notice that your already addicted to it. That will be the start of a serious problem , and if you lose there will be the time you sell all your things just get to back all what youve lose.

I don't think dropping the definition was necessary. Do you really think he does not know the meaning of Adrenaline, maybe you should perceive sarcasm on the comment, and Back to the post, gambling could be for fun and also for entertainment I do both.

I think it depends on the mood Per time. There are times I just want to gamble for the fun, no kind of intention to make money and there are also times I do it for money so it's really not a big deal. Whatever reason for playing, I would only advise that for whatever reason it is, we must be careful not to get addicted to avoid regrets. Addiction could happen to anyone regardless why we play. This is the reason so many people talk I'll of gambling because they lack the understanding

Rich people say gambling is just for fun but some become an addict to gambling until their life is getting worst because gambling addiction may destroy life style of one person. Its not fun to the people who are always a loser.
