Do you feel fun when you lose $100?
What about losing $1000 or $10000 when you gamble? Does it make you feel it was all fun?

I see many posters here in this Gambling Discussion forum claiming (usually with broken English) that gambling is fun, that there is no pain nor suffering when you lose money... because it's all fun, it's great, the best thing in the world ....

So I'd like to ask you honestly - how is it "fun" when you lose money? What makes it fun - the prediction of what's gonna happen next? The winnings make it fun? But no one can win 100% of the times, right? (except for the house)

I'd love to see one of those posters explain to me, rationally, how exactly they perceive it to be fun? Please try to explain yourself rationally (with broken English if necessary).

Yeah, even I don't get where is the fun at lossing. Some says they only deposited small amount because they are just playing for fun. Like wth, they only deposited small amount but keep on coming back and trying to win everytime. They are just pretending to be tough and can't admit of their addiction. Once you go into casino, online or physical, your main goal is profit and not just for fun wether your bankroll is big or small. I don't believe in fun thing alibi.

No, who enjoys losing that much money
As for me, it will never be fun to lose money, maybe what they mean is that, they enjoy playing even they lose money but with only a small amount of money. If I would be the one losing that much, I might end up crying. LOL

The fun thing about it is that, you satisfy yourself. But as you have said, losing thousands of dollars, for me it will never be fun. There is no fun thing about that.

Losing gambling cannot be described as fun and no one even feels happy if they lose $100 to $10,000.
What I know is not defeat that makes gamblers feel happy but the process and activities when gambling that allows to get pleasure. There are many hormones that increase when the game is in serious mode, that is when gamblers feel addicted.

Gambling is fun, great and full of enthusiasm and higher curiosity. Not only in the discussion forums do gamblers say the same thing, but some research on feelings when gambling has proven that gambling activities are also fun and even when they experience defeat.

For me investing and gambling is very much similar, you need to put an amount that you can afford to lose and I don't see myself putting $1000 or even $10000, that's too much, I know the risk in gambling and it's like throwing your fortune because the house edge has an advantage, it will only be fun if your losses will not have an impact on your financial stability.

You can't find a person here that will only gamble their money for fun*. The majority of people here want to make a good return from doing gambling even they will say they gamble for fun. Believed me, most gamblers here (or just posting here they do gamble) wants something good in return.

Remember that majority of people here are posting with purpose so I doubt the one you are searching will have a time lurking here.

Try to ask your concern by visiting physical casinos and you can meet different gamblers there. You might catch someone there that will explain to you briefly their motives behind that "gambling for fun". It's way more better to ask people there since the fact that they are spending time playing at casinos means they are really a gambling enthusiast.*

I guess you have misunderstood them because most of these users use free faucets to gamble, hence for them it’s not an actual loss but a fun activity and I don’t consider these users real gamblers. In my personal opinion I like the the thrill of gambling, but it’s definitely not funny when I lose few or hundreds of dollars. @Get-Paid.com can you quote some of the posts in the op, so we can understand their mindset even better or conclude they’re just trolling.

Exactly, they can be explained very well since their habit is gambling. But I have a positive feeling that you might get answers the same on what I have thought, of course, that was their habit and they enjoy it and at the same time hoping to double their money. The willingness either win or lose no matter how much they spend in gambling.

Just like on these scenarios especially we are nearly celebrating a yuletide season. Spend money to buy firecrackers just to have fun within an hour, spending your bucks money in watching movies to have fun. Gambling is something like that, it depends on the willingness you're going to spend even how much it is, as long as you've entertained very well and had fun.   

As long as the amount I lost is still under my limit, it is still fun for me.
When I gamble for fun, I will just spend what I can afford to lose only so I wont regret if I lose it all.
The fun of gambling is basically on the process during we are gambling, not at the end when we get the result.
Obviously if the result is good (win) then we will get double fun.

Very much it is a fun based activity being considered by me which helps me to be in control and self discipline else I know myself as addiction is very high and I might end up in loss and also in order to avoid all such things better to let it be fun based itself.

If my losses will above my expectation, like losing a thousand bucks, I don't consider it as fun anymore. It is already at my fault since I am too obsessed of winning. It is already too much greed where losing so much money is not healthy anymore.

losing 100 bucks is not that big issue so i think it is still considered as Fun playing but 1000-10,000?i don't think those typical gamblers that was just enjoying in gambling will afford losing this as they also mentioned in their post(as far as i can see)that they are limiting their gambling budget so it is not appropriate to ask that High amount to just have fun and enjoying.
maybe you should remember that many members here are not English people so you dont have to mentioned about broken english because thats normal if English is not your Mother tongue .
just like being mentioned by many(if you don't have crossed those thread that has explanations)that having Fun is expensive for others,because some has paying tickets and accommodations going abroad.some buying tickets to watch movies,some for special foods and "others found this in Gambling' so what is wrong if they will spend having fun on playing?

but of course part of mindset wanted to win as well though if not it is expected not like those who gamble that the sole intention is to win.

The fun part is the excitement of what will happen. And you have at stakes. And the money on the line make it more suspense and heart beat goes faster when  you gamble. The excitement is the best and the moment when you win the relief from loosing is one of the best feeling ever. The non gambling society will never understand it unless they try to gamble.

The question is who funded this research you're referring to?
Indeed one research might show that only a fraction of the population (e.g. 1%) is having a gambling problem - but when you investigate who funded the research you would realize it's casinos and bookmakers, so no wonder they would claim that problem gambling is almost non-existent in our society - yet reality has proven the numbers are far greater than just 1%.

When you're referring to any research please keep in mind it MUST be credible, unbiased and trustworthy, otherwise it's not even worth the paper it is printed on.


I appreciate this comment and I do agree that in some way I was too critic with other posters here, so sincere apologies if I offended anyone with those comments.

This kind of question hits me so hard. At first its all about having fun but at the end of the day, well its not funny anymore and its more on the stress side. This is why I learn to play only small money so I wont regret it if I lose big money like this. Losing is not fun at all, buy if you play with a lot of control and you really set aside money for gambling then you should not regret it and continue to have fun.

Gambling is for fun and only for those who can afford to lose money, its given that when you play you will lose so don't focus too much on your expectation to make money. I do have fun even if I'm losing money because I go to casinos for that purpose and will never regret it. Gamblers should always know their limit and stop the day dreaming of winning big.

How can you play with "a lot of control"?
How many gamblers have told themsleves "I'm only putting $100 on this game, win or lose, then I quit" - and then never sticked to their word?

FYI in Judaism gamblers are not allowed to serve as witnesses in court because they are deemed as unreliable.

people who play gambling with that amount of loss are people who play gambling with the aim of making money, while people who have fun are not likely to spend that much money on gambling. like me who always tries a small amount under $100 to have fun, in a sense I try my luck and if I win I will be happy, but if I lose I will not be sad or feel happy. because the game is quite fun like in casino or poker.

I have never considered losing money as fun but earning money is obviously fun. Gambling is a mix of both but people should keep a fine line between having fun and going broke. This is difficult for a person with the mindset of getting rich by gambling because they will evidently lose money by gambling. Some people play sports betting which can be fun if you betting on your favorite games and its more of a personal thing.

The reason why you see people post this in this section is they have to make up their quota for the gambling signature campaigns. Dont take all of them seriously but report posts that you think are offtopic.

I think the only time I thought gambling as a fun activity was when I was quite intoxicated with my buddies playing poker and I had a winning streak that night.

That's it. Winning in gambling may feel like fun but once that turns into losses, it's not fun anymore.

Thanks for explaining this, now it all makes sense why some posts seem to be completely out of context in many threads here.


Seconded.

it depends on a person. losing $100, $1000 or $10000 might not be ok or fun for someone but is still fun or ok for others. in short different people will have different views about how fun gambling is.
gambling habit is probably one of the bases of how a gambler view if gambling is fun or not. I, myself consider gambling a "fun activity" since I only gamble the amount I know I can lose. and having that kind
of habit is the reason why I consider gambling is fun. it doesn't strain me financially if I lose, I get a chance to win/increase my money, I get entertained from playing the game.

lol . the broken english thingy makes me feel laugh while reading   . loosing is not fun for me but its stressing and makes me feel so bad but this negative feelings turn into positive whenever i won something descent when gambling   .

 most of the time i play because i want to profit but sometimes when im not in the mood i just play gambling with smaller bets just to pass the time and to have fun , when i loose it does not make feel down but i still enjoyed it  .

well , how to say ,
i actually a bit confused how to explain what a kind of fun on gambling, its just fun for me.
losing of course a pain from it, but besides it , did u consider about u may lose on gambling, and u didn't think about it ?
as long u consider about that, u will enjoying playing a gambling.
i mean , forget about how to win , just play well,relax , consistent .

* It could be enjoyed if it is beneficial to the gamblers.

* Not really a good idea to enjoy luck-based gambling.

* If you must enjoy skill-based gambling, you have to be good at it first and even earning sufficient income from it.

* Otherwise gambling (especially luck-based gamblings) should be done moderately

I feel fun when I lose $10 in sports betting, why not $100? because I can afford to lose $10. That means I can feel fun when i lose in gambling where I have money that I can afford to lose.

I love sports betting, it's fun when you bet in matches and you watch the game, if you are a sports fan, you will know how it feels really fun. Therefore I do not make money in gambling, it is better not to gamble if your goal is to make money.

No matter how much one loses, no one is happy to lose money, many suffer anxiety and regret after losing all their money on gambling.
Gambling is like a stimulant and sometimes people come to it to relieve psychology. During the gambling time they find the emotions they desire, something that motivates people to gamble. I have a friend, he gambles every day and often loses, to this point he becomes a debtors.
I personally think that gambling is a fun time, but that joy disappears as soon as you lose all your money.

It's fun because there's a probability to make a profit. I mostly bet on esports matches, the thrill you get when watching the game you're betting on is what makes it fun. I gotta say betting makes watching the game twice as exciting. It's even more fun when you're winning and gain some profit, oh that feeling, it's satisfying.

You're correct it isn't as fun when you're losing, though. That's why I try to be as careful as possible before placing the bets to minimize the risk. Analyzing the teams, watching the news, etc those are part of the fun too.

The concept of fun is relative to what it happens during a session of gameplay.If we for example start playing slots with 1000 dollars and hit some big win and make 20000 out of this 1000 dollars this is considered definitely a lot of fun.If it happens that we lose this amount and add another 1000 that we also lose it,in this case this is definitely a fun thing to happen.

Every time i gamble i feel fun and happy for it even i lose big or small amount because i feel the fun for it. Some gamblers are very sensitive if they are lose they feel so bad and they are feel so unlucky. Some are very happy if they are win gamble is very hard to win and need to be luck for us to win. And be happy and have some fun even they lose some or big.

A lot of emotions, a lot of up and a lot of down but it's all fun...

As long as you play with money that you can afford to lose. Same rules apply with any investment, of course including Bitcoin and alt coins  :)

I don't feel fun if I have to lose $100 because so far, I don't spend that amount in one-time only. Maybe in a week, I only use less than $10 to buy some coins and send it to the gambling sites. I don't mind to lose $2-$3 every time I played gambling because, for me, gambling is not a source of income, but gambling is one way to playing many gambling games and enjoy my free time.

It depends on your financial capability if $100, $1000' or any amount is just a small amount for you and you are capable it would not matter, but still that is a huge amount of money. Some people spends thousands of dollar to have fun.

Losing money in gambling is not fun and no one wants it. Even some gamblers says they are playing to entertain themselves or to relieve stress but if you didnt win when you play (even once) still it is depressing especially if you didnt use a spare money.

I dont gamble with huge capital or money that I cant afford to lose, im prepared for the outcome since its my choice to gamble even I know its risky. Maybe for gamblers that are well-off, money is not an issue so they can gamble regardless of how much they win or lose as long as they are having fun.

There are two types of people in online casinos, even in offline, the rich one and the regular guy. The rich one is the one who enjoys playing gambling to the fullest while the regular one sometimes enjoy it, but most of the time he doesn't, to make the story short, you can't have fun playing gambling if you're after the profits, you could only enjoy it if you will gamble with free satoshis or if you'll gamble only the amount you can afford to lose.

Gambling for me can be both profitable and source of fun, at the same time you'll be gaining joyful activities linked with gambling bets. As you continue to make yourself entertained with several types of gambling, you enjoyed so much despite of losing such amount. However, it doesn't guarantee us more possiblity to win at all times but the important factors in gambling was treating it as a form of past time and not a serious bond.

Gambling is fun. Why? Because it was for fun and entertainment but this happiness stop when you keep on losing money. Who would find it fun right? That's why in order for us to just enjoy gambling, limit ourselves so we can avoid spending too much money on gambling. We have our season of luck...

Guess what make all of these much more fun?

you won at 2x and get additional profits as you are betting with altcoins that the value where your betslip settled increased drastically upto 100percents so basically you just hit a jackpot of 3times instead won it at 2 times haha
but you must admit that it was fun until you get hit but the unexpected big losses or a streak losses.
that will messed all of your fun moments in a second, in a blink of an eye.

start with some fun and always ends it with misery , that is the eternal law of gambling, you can not go against them unless you are lucky enough to be part of the rare 0.1% who make it fun all the time.

Gambling is like Trading, Bet only what you are willing to lose if you bet $100, $1000 or even $10000 if that is all money you've got and you bet in on gambling site there is something wrong with you. Never bet like that unless you have so much money and willing to lose. Gambling is a very risky thing. Maybe it is fun for others and not for you we have a different status in life.

Well, it still depends on the gamblers of how they treat gambling. If you gamble just for fun that something will make you entertain, that's no problem and if you gamble just for hoping you will win that's no problem. And yes, I will consider gambling is just for fun activity. I know that because I know my self what is gambling and the possible consequences if I did not make my self have control in playing gambling. Be responsible for gambling and you will be fine.

Ofcourse there is no fun at all when losing your money but gambling give some excitement while you play and then enjoyment every time you win. It really depend on a person on how they define fun in gambling but for me gambling is a good form of entertainment or just to kill some time and if you're lucky enough then you can double or triple your money.

I never tried to invest in any alt coins except for some solid ones, but they deceived me (yeah I am talking about ETH here  ;D ), I got burned.
Still receive plenty of emails from Wirex, Binance, selling their coins but never dare to make the move. Will keep trading on Bitcoin price which was the most solid earnings lately. Good luck anyway in you are into alt coins  :P

one time i see on the chat of one gambling platform where a user said that he is having fun when he loose his money  and he also give away his money as a form of tips sometimes  . the guy must be wealthy but he has a strange hobby when he play gambling   . sometimes strange things happen to some persons so yes that is really possible to some that loosing money can be entertaining  but for us normal peeps , we think loosing is a part of the game but still makes us feel sad when the loose that we dealt is big  .

in my opinion, a big amount of bets includes serious gamblers, not for fun. I consider gambling as entertainment when I win is very fun, and of course, I only use a small amount of bets.
also, not all types of gambling are fun, poker is one of the most fun favorite games, I like fighting strategy there. losing is not fun but a small amount is not a problem for us.

If you have that attitude then you are safe to play and enjoy, while other people are getting too much engage and they are putting lots of money inside this activities. There's no problem if you can really control and you can find the courage to stop when everything is no longer favorable to you, to the point that you wasting lots of time and funds. Know your limitations to continue enjoying.

Well, we cannot deny the fact that gambling was all about profit. But still the process or what I mean is the playing time was really alot of fun. Though losing was really a bad thing but still you enjoy what you played, profit is just an additional to what you are enjoying. I bet those who seek profit from gambling were just a mere gambler nothing more, nothing less.

I don't get how it could be fun to jump off a bridge with my feet tied to a rope but there are people who pay a lot of money to do that and I don't think they could explain it to me in a way that I could understand.

Gambling is of course different than bungee jumping but adrenaline is there, risk is there, plus the tantalizing expectation of a lucky win. The occasional small win keeps the excitement going. Just make sure to set the max budget and stick to it and you can have a lot of fun for $100. Don't make the rope too long or you'll smack you head into those rocks.

Most of those kinds of gamblers who bets higher than the average gambler is really aiming to win and not only for fun.

I don't think that not all types gambling is fun, therr is still some fun that every game has given to everyone  especially when you can win continuously.
But of course, if you have lose so much money, it is not for fun anymore. It is about addiction and greediness.

Gambling is a game full of fun and excitement. Many players came from different places and gathered to play their favourite games in gambling. Gambling can be used for the satisfaction of aa person because we have diverse expertise in gambling, and we want to use this also to earn money.  Many players go from different gambling houses to satisfy their desire to play some of them love to play because of the risk of the gameplay; it gives them a lot of excitement. Commonly the people play gamble because they want to earn extra money while enjoying the game. It provides an additional source of income too.

When we put our mindset that we will earn from it then we can say it but once we already know that we always tend to lose in it and still bothers to play since you realize that it's more fun for you at times you have spare time and still not aiming to win somehow. Or I just already accept the fact that I'm not a good gambler so I just play fun in it.

What makes it fun is the experience you get from it. The joy of betting to your favorite team and watch them win. Or the frustration of not getting the right bet because of the spread or handicap. The money lost is the expense you have to pay in order to have that experience and if you win, it is the added bonus.

first i will post print screen of my sportsbet.io account:

where is the fun?

when you have two soccer teams (team X and team Z), you make analyzes of both soccer teams and make a bet that team X will win and the team X win the game... Is a very fun thing.

about the side of losing money:

there is bankroll management, there is game analysis and there is the golden rule: never use money that you cannot afford to lose to bet on bookmakers.



If a person earns a $1000 of salary, he pays all 30 day bills, then he has $50 for fun:

1- this person can take $50 to beer with friends

2 - this person can go to watch movies with their friends

3 - This person can have fun watching car racing

4- this person can make sports bets

Anyway this person knows that the $50 is a money that can afford to lose.

I'm ok losing $100 in exchange for hours of excitement and fun, but things is different if the lost is amounting to over $10000, it's not fun anymore if you are not a millionaire, that's real gambling and i don't see myself going to be like that.

Of course yes I consider gambling as a fun activity because I enjoy when I win but I am feeling sad when I am lossing, just like the other guys who are gambling. We are having fun whenever we are playing and gambling our money because there is always a chance that we could win as possible but the reality of we can also experience heavy losses is indeed, but before we gamble we already what may happens like lossing or winning so we are capable to handle those situations as good as possible. We gamblers are having fun on it so why should we stop? We continue to go back and play whenever we have enough time and money.

Fun maybe for people who already rich. But there are a lot of people who play gambling and aim for winning. If me, i am play gambling with maximum $10 capital to play and quite seldom to play gambling. Fun or not maybe i fun, but at least with that amount of money, i am not really suffer when lose.

No, that won't be fun for me to lose 100$ because that will affect my budget and I amn't very rich to consider 100$ like it's 10 cent. But why to play/bet with 100$ ? For me 10$ is affordable, for others - 1000 and even more.
But I look gambling like this way: You pay some money in order to play particular game (like you pay money to buy Assassin's Creed, download from ubisoft and play).
Some people get fun from playing Call Of Duty while others get nervous because they can't pass some levels and etc, there are a lot of reasons that makes some happy and some - unhappy.
Personally I think it depends on person, I can get fun from playing blackjack live because it's different experience, you can talk with dealer and etc, that's fun and in order to get this fun, you need to pay some money, always place minimum bets and never think about doubling of it, if you are doing so, then you'll lose money quickly.
Imagine, with 1000 satoshies, you can place minimum bet 1000 times on dice, it's a lot if you have dice cravings, so cheap, yeah? But when you start betting of 0.0001, 0.0002, 0.0004 and so on, then you are doing very wrong.

Not just for the fun activity, it also brings excitement when choosing a team from sports that you placing a bet in the sportsbook you have used and while watching their match at home waiting and also hoping whos gonna win. Reply above was right if you are willing to spend $50 in exchange for fun activities and excitements, so why not. Just to make it sure that the fund you have used is the amount that you can afford and willing to lose if ever you did not get lucky in gambling. Nevertheless, we can't deny the fact that some gamblers just gamble in hoping to double their capital.

This all depends on people's like. If he likes to gamble and in that way and he has fun activity even it will cost and probably you have a loss that is fine because you are willing to spend a certain amount just because of having fun. We have different likes and dislike or a habit that we want. If you have a fun activity and need to spend a little so, why not.

the gambler who said gambling is fun are the ones who won games.

to be honest i ain't enjoying playing balckjack or poker when i'm not on the table itself.  you can't play bluff/herocall by making faces infront of the players. which is the reason why i rarely play in bitcoin casino expect the sportsbetting which is more fun to watching in big screen. even losing in the bet as long as you get to see knockdowns, the fun still is there.

I like the later part of your post basically we all love when we are gambling and not when we have been done with it. The end result of gambling is only loss as we will always play in the hands of the edge house set by the casinos to empty our pockets. But even as a gambler myself I know I will loose money on tennis and cricket but I end up making most of my bets on these events.

I always feel sad when the bet loses so I cannot say there is any fun or joy in loosing but certainly there is much more fun than people think as far as sports betting goes because you know you are not betting on something that you cannot control, in sports betting there are various markets and you can analyse data and you like certain players and teams.

Says that Gambling is always fun funny and not right.
I can say from my own experience that the most offensive and unpleasant defeats are connected precisely with gambling.

It is the casino that makes us believe in ourselves and enjoy the victory, and then takes everything, and takes even more after everything has been taken.
Gambling is a pain often intolerable pain, because people are addicted to gambling and so have mental problems within the complexity of breaking addictions.

Depends on how much I lose as well, usually I set myself a limit and gamble that way however if I lose that limit too quickly I feel a bit bad, yet if I end up winning (normally sportsbooks I win a bit) I feel very very good so it is really fun those days.

Nobody could say they could have fun when they are losing, the winning part is definitely and obviously more fun but for what its worth you have to accept the losses to have the wins as well. I do enjoy gambling overall, I learnt how to not feel bad when I lose and have fun when I win so all in all I do get fun from it but not as much as I used to. Games are all the same everywhere you go, there is nothing new to play anymore so I feel like I lost that fun when I gambled hundreds of times on the same game.

Gambling can only be fun when someone knows its own limitations. Even if it means you lost money. Some rich people do not care losing a thousand dollars because it is minimal to their level. There are times when I crossed boundaries, and it pains a bit when you lost something you think is already above your financial tolerance. For now, I am minimizing my bets because I have many responsibilities this Christmas season.

Yes gambling, can be a fan activity for some people who aren't interested to make money from it, because it's really so risky and you'll be always in the risk to lose money and be broke. I just consdider gambling as a fan activity because i really enjoy play it with my friends and it makes me feel good when i just make good bets! I always don't take it as a serious source of money, it's just for an extra money if i won otherwise it's okay if i lose, because i can afford what i'm usually lose.

No one is having fun when he loses a lot of money, which is just the opposite.
But it's fun when you gamble with that money and it is fun in the moment and you realize that you can take big money, but the feeling afterwards is very hard, depressing, not easy to endure mentally.
With a bigger role comes more adrenaline but not fun, no one can confirm that it is fun when playing a large role, but certainly the heart beats fast and great adrenaline occurs, ultimately a cross-section of the heart.
But the fun is in the small games and the small money, when you do not hurt the loss.

People for the past 2000+ years have been gambling and not mainly for making money but definitely for fun activities too.
People always think that people gamble so they could make money but that is not the reality, there is a rush in gambling that not many other things could offer.

Back in Roman empire times there were people who played dice games, aleator was the name of those people if I am not wrong, think about it you could have gone to a gladiator match and watch people kill each other and there were still people who rolled dices and see who won the bet, it was that fun even back than.

So of course, there are people today who would make money and mostly lose money but in the end people do it because it gives a great sense of entertainment regardless of winning/losing that no other thing would ever give so that is why they gamble.

It depends on a certain person yet we know that each gambler do have different status when it comes to financial where it means even that 100 bucks
you do mention is already a big thing even for me too. Fun will be described on how you do deal up with losses.It isnt really that easy for you to pretend
that its just okay for big amounts already where theres always that kind of pain or frustration inside, the only thing here is about your mindset
where you do just accept the defeat and thinking that you do have a good run even you do lose.

For me it's more about the thrill, it lifts my adrenalin level, increases hearth beat. It can be even anxious sometimes if you increase your bets close to your limit. But the joy after you win is all worth it :)

Yeah, it is really a joyful day if we won but if not, it makes my self down.

For, I don't think that gambling is a fun activity just like how the others look into it. Cause it was different if you do gambling for money and aiming to win or just for pleasure. But most of us here spend time gambling for a certain reason and that might because of great prizes.

For rich people, they don't mind losing some money because they search for the fun things that they will get from gambling. Besides that, rich people will use a private room to gamble so they can invite their friends, and sometimes they are not only playing gambling, but they can discuss for the business that they want to build. But for people who don't own much money, they can still enjoy gambling as the other people as long as they know how to treat gambling itself. And yes, limitations is a must thing that they should have in gambling.

It is all fun and games till you lose. Of course, it is totally devastating when you lose. Who would be happy with that, right? But I stand with a thinking of gambling wasn't all about money or profit. It is the game that people enjoy. Although to earn was the major reason also behind playing. But you don't come and gamble when you're not ready to what would be the output of what you're doing there. You must prepare yourself, and execute your plan (when you have) when you lose.

Let us not put a specific amount of money here as everyone of us has different source of income, hence we have different range in betting.
Me, I could lose and I can still have fun at the same time, the secret is very simple, I just stay discipline betting on what I can afford to lose.

$100 is not a big amount though, at least for me, I can bet on sports at that amount in a single bet but I would not go beyond as I know that the risk is high and I don't want to make mistakes of chasing loses because I can't accept that I lose a big amount.

the highlighted sentence depends on who is the gambler because some are for fun but many are for money right?and let's admit the reality that even if we are seeking for fun when we play still we are expecting at least to win right?

but we can afford to lose without wanting to recover not like when youa re plain profiting the more you lose is the eager you winback

Do you enjoy gambling too much? Because gambling is a great time and refreshing. Yes, I know there is some financial loss when it comes to losing gambling, but it shouldn't be upsetting. Because people gamble just to waste money. Many people gamble again to make money. However, it is uncertain. Because gambling can mean anything, getting money or losing money.

No matter what anyone says there is no FUN in loosing money whether its gambling or anything else. Anyone who gambles deposits money expecting that his predictions will be right in sports betting or if playing dice or other instant games then they must be feeling lucky.

It does not makes sense having fun in loosing money instead consider it like smoking, you feel like smoking not because you want to hurt your body but you are just addicted to it find a reason to smoke and similarly you feel lucky at times and want to gamble. Otherwise, there is no FUN in loosing money and even if you find free money you don't want to loose it.

Regretting is something else but if you ask yourself had you ever felt funny when you lost a bet?
The answer should be a strict No because trust me it's very obvious to feel upset and dejected when you loose even a single satoshi not because you cannot afford to loose that but because you made any bet in expectation of winning. I mean anyone of us would be happy if we buy bitcoins and the price is going down? Obviously no because we expected the price to go up.

I honestly feel such threads are useless because it does not even make sense to ask people if they have fun when they loose money when even a immature kid knows that there is no fun loosing money or assets or even time which I felt I lost when reading this thread.

Gambling is supposed to be a fun activity or for leisure but losing can't be fun most especially if the amount you lose is already big that is why it is better that if you gamble just spend less or only spend the money you can afford to lose and not your savings money because it will only stress you out when you lose them. It is true that you can win big in gambling but that is if you are lucky because if you are not lucky then you will lose everything.

It definitely is fun - while you're winning.  ;D

That's why making small bets is most satisfying, if you go all out and bust all your money the first time then it would hurt. If you look at many card games for example, they all start with smaller bets which get progressively larger.

This fun activity means it depends on the type of gambling game. in my opinion, if we can enjoy every gambling game, it means that we can consider having fun. for example like poker, I'm sure everyone will enjoy this game because they will pit strategy. whereas games like sports betting only analyze and place bets without activity, so what's the fun of that?

To lose money isn't fun at all, but people doesn't always lose in gambling. I have seen a lot of people leaving the casinos with big profit and a smile on their faces, Looks like they really have fun at that time.

Maybe you should chase a jackpot and if you get a big win you will have fun.

but they are having fun while they are playing,the momentum change when they start losing and the mood swing as well,because the excitement while playing is really enjoyable specially if you are with friends that betting with you.
but what i think is either win or lose the important thing is we enjoy the game,but of course if we win is the achievement .

Correct me if i'm wrong but this is not about feeling after lost $100 or $1000 because if you starting gambling with those amount then your gambling purpose is clear how to earn money from gambling but different side to those who gambling for fun because usually if people want to starting gambling for fun then they will used low money or free money because if they lost it then they can ignore their losses

Agreed, whether particular person prefers gambling as a fun activity or for the purpose of profiting can be understood by the way of spending. From my learning when we think of profiting we risk to earn big and chase the loss with big amounts if loss is the result. when considered as fun activity they just leave it even after they loss. In most of the cases people start as fun and ends with the mind to earn which gets over with wallets having no balance.

It will be fun when there's a lucky winnings, but behind that I don't think you'll be happy upon losing such amount. Risk is a part of any investments whether it's gambling or business. Everything we have in life is risk, better learn many ways to handle optimally. Spending your money wisely can gain surprising results as fun makes it more rewarding.

A gambler who uses "free money" to gamble has to do it in moderation too. It could be considered a waste of time to spend most of your time getting lots bonuses or free coins and ending up gambling with most of them in a short time with little/no profit.

Definitely because gambling is suppose to be fun.

As I learn to fully control myself, it's the only time that I started to fully enjoy gambling regardless of the outcome of my bet.
Losing a big amount is not anymore a problem to be since I know how to bet based on my limit.

Some can loss thousands of dollars or even millions of dollars but my range or limit is too low, probably losing $100 is already a decent amount of me, though I can afford that but as much as possible I want to be lower than that.

No, I have to disagree, it is not about the amount to determine if a certain individual is playing gambling for fun or not, a normal person who's earning money about an average salary could gamble $100-$1000 for fun, and the other way around, and no matter how small it is, a loss is still a loss for everyone, unless of course you are playing just for fun, or if you are freaking rich that losing money for you in not a problem at all.

In my own point of view, i consider gambling as a fun activity because it sometimes helps me to relieve my stress after i got home from work, but i don't think it is still fun when you lose a $100 or more because experiencing huge losses will only give you depression and head ache that will only make a player lose his control that he will only push himself to recover all of his losses.

If you are wise and you are valuing your time and effort, those free bonuses can turned to real cash if you will play patiently and use a good system to
take some edge with your gambling activities. Having some fun is good though mostly if your balance came from those free bonuses or faucets but it's adding lots of entertainment and enjoyment when you get something out and not just to leave without nothing at all.

If we are lost, then it will not fun because many gamblers still thinking about how they're going to recover their money. That can risk the other money that they have, especially if they want to chase their money back. As long as we know the risk and we can accept the risk, we don't have to worry, but we still need to have control for ourselves so we can avoid the loss.

Easy to say but would really be hard to follow specially when you are already in the middle of the game.When you loss then you cant really avoid not to think
on how to recover or break even your losses and this is the time you would really have those thoughts on chasing loss and the fun you do seek is already diminishing
gradually.Common thing to happen and next decision will depend if you would just let that mindset continue or you would completely stop it mid way and doesnt mind up things too much.

Losing is just one of the results after we had fun in gambling so I consider it a fun activity because it provides entertainment. We can't call it as a source of income because there's no guarantee of a good profit here. There's a big risk that we will be taking so we have to set limits and learn how to control our emotions.

Just like anything, gambling is also subjective. It could be just only fun for others, it could be only as an additional income for others or both. But, for me it's both. If I lose a lot I could be emotional and will be sad for that. But whenever I win a lot, I am enjoying the game and the excitement is always real that's why it could be fun so it's a both for me.

^ I dunno why we are happy to see if we win even in just a little amount in gambling. Even though we all know that the amount we had won did not cover our entire losses. Because in that way we feel happy and while we are placing a bet or something rolling the dice, the excitement was always there. How much more if we will win in gambling. Nevertheless, people that have a greedy mindset and they think gambling is good for source of income will probably not thinking to be a fun activity in gambling.

Initially I played gambling just for fun, entertainment but until now I am addicted and I do not know how to stop this activity.

I don't know how much I've spent, but it's clear that losing money in gambling isn't fun, that's bullshit.

Yeah this is Altcoin season and we should keep holding than selling as so many exchanges and project holders. Now a day it’s best time for Altcoin holders and it’s time to purchase as well because it’s low in price and it’s gonna be good support for online gamblers too. So altcoins are good to have for gamblers as well as for investors.

Gambling is fun only if I win something, and if I don't and end up losing a few hundred dollars, I don't think it's even worth it or I'm considering about not gambling again. I still end up playing and gambling still, even though I know that there's a huge possibility of me losing it all once again.

Losing money is in no way fun to anyone. But winning something no matter how small it is will surely bring smiles to any person's face, that's for sure.

Playing casino games or any kind of bets which has unpredictability on the results which makes us more excited than anything in this world will make the gambling as fun thing but when we are losing more money what we can afford then it is not definitely a fun.

So if you will be felt broken when you lose $1000 dollars while gambling then you should spend less money which will not make you think about that loss in future, the amount will be depends on how much the person who is going to gamble was earning.

It is a big deal for them if they lose. They live in this kind of game and considering the fact that they would like to win and bring some money for their family, they even tried to cheat others just to win. How bad is that? And gambling could be a reason that brings someone into an evil act for the sake that he/she could get what he/she wants for.

Anybody who doesn't have fun while gambling shouldn't be gambling at all. If they're gambling consistently in order to get out of crippling debt or something, then they clearly have an issue.

Why would you do anything that you're not enjoying? Whether they be enjoying the thrill, the suspense or the highs?

If we are talking about bonuses on deposits, then for me that is no different, that is a waste of time for me. In the past I enjoy gambling but I did not gamble online, I'm usually addicted to cockfighting and usual Filipino card games. I'm sober from gambling for maybe a week now and reading this makes me want to bet some to pass time.

It's rare to see a user who behaves like that here in the forum.

Try to find a gambling forum section wherein users are not involved in a paid posts feature or not crypto-related forum so that the discussion will also include how fiat gamblers behave especially those who go in a physical casino to gamble. We can have a much more accurate answer if we asked them that question compare here.

Gambling for fun does have a different meaning. But sometimes, it's just a product of others' own view to reply here without the actual purpose they really do gambling for fun.
