I'm just curious about what people think about their main purposes to play gambling. Usually, we only know that people play gambling because they expect to be rich (earn money). Are there any other common purposes of a gambler why he/she plays gambling daily? Let me know what your purposes are, mate. Thanks

Space for updating information or announcement!

My memory tells me that I have already answered a number of similar questions in the early past.

There are different purposes of gambling depending on the gambler. Personally, I am after the fun and the prize but I am not expecting much to win. But it also depends on the gambling that is involved. Most of the time I am expecting to win in sports betting but not on other luck games.

That is the wrong thinking. Knowing that you could get rich in gambling and starting to do something about it could lead you to addiction that shouldn’t be the case whenever or whoever you are because when you started thinking that you could get rich, you might do something that you would regret when you lose in the casino. Like using your savings, putting every money that you have to get that financial break that you want, but it’s all about luck.

If I were to gamble daily, I would be taking it for a hobby and not I am taking it seriously. I don’t want to get addicted.

i think two of the choices fits me,it is a Routine whenever i am stressful that i seek from playing gamble.

second is having Fun and Enjoyment because i really don't focus in winning because i am a man that hates failure so it is better not to expect so fail wont take place.

I am very curious to know the names of individuals who became rich after gambling and are still rich. It would be awesome if someone can create a list of these rich gamblers.

I personally have not heard about anyone getting rich. I have heard a lot of stories and also read it on how gambling destroyed an individual and his family.

Though this question has been asked millions of time, I am still going ahead and replying. Purpose of Gambling is sheer entertainment and not becoming rich. It is the uncertainty that attracts me.

I've voted for "Have fun and spend spare time".

Of course I wanted to earn, however, when I frequent a casino, I just wanted to enjoy and pass the time. Sometimes it is also like an ice breaker for me or stress reliever, going out with friends, drink on the casino floor, watch live performance and then just play money that I can afford to lose.

I do it for the enjoyment, I like a challenging game and that's what I get from my gambling. Sure making some cash of it would be nice but I'm no where near the level that it's a probable outcome over a given time. I prefer to only gamble on table games if anything, mostly poker, some roulette and I used to enjoy Blackjack quite a bit. I really don't play much besides poker anymore as I enjoy having to think through a strategy and then the "gamble" when it comes to a flip or something early still brings that excitement with it.

I personally can't bring myself to play pure games of chance anymore I just don't get a good feeling from them. Shiny lights aren't enough for me, despite coming from a family of slots players lol. Best story was mom gave me a 20$ to play the slots with on my 18th - I put it in cashed out at 22.50$ then went and bought some drinks.

That's a wrong take on gambling! If someone is gambling online to become rich, God bless him! It's just an entertainment for adults, at least according to me! Kids go to amusement parks, teens go to Football/Cricket/Baseball matches and Adults gamble! That's what the purpose of online gambling because it's available from the comfort of your home! You sit in front of a computer with a bottle of nice beer and relax. Some people watch movies and some gamble! It's simple as that!

It's not that people don't earn money in gambling, they definitely do! But if you look at gambling as a source of making money which can take care of your daily expenses, then it's a wrong way of looking at it!

well more words released than do,many wont admit that they are playing gamble to win and winning is part of wanting to become rich or richer.

so basically many will say they are playing for fun but the truth is it is not.maybe better to saying that we are playing to have fun but also wanted to get rich.

Well, I don't have any other reason aside from making a profit. Getting rich? that came in my mind but that's not my focus. As long as I made a good amount that can sustain my needs. I don't care much about getting rich in gambling because even winning or reaching daily quota is quite hard to do. That's why I don't think too much about it. Hobby? not really, more likely i'm just trying to get my daily qouta. Fun? definitely not, i'll just play online games instead, that's more fun and not so stressful or can overcome the mood in a bit.

i think targeting to become rich is not appropriate to ask instead it is  good to ask "Purposes to play gambling,except to win' so its bald and neutral .

for me?i am for slight wins everytime i played,i dont want to deny the reality because it is,but at least i am contented to win smaller than demand for more.i usually play with friends or cousins and enjoy the game while concentrating to at least win half of my capital in which normally 100$ below.

To be stress free I would go with to enjoy the spare time and have fun while gambling and get entertained as well. If happen to become rich or make some money while enjoying the gambling then it is all good things and if make some losses then too do not have to worry because I consider it is the fees being paid for the entertainment.

Playing gambling to get money is the only goal and there is no other purpose. I am entertaining myself by playing gambling only when I don't use real money or only use fake money in casino games like Slots and Roulette. Obviously I was not risking money just for fun.

well i have changed from addicted to a normal gambler so for me?i voted for Fun and not anything.

and that is really what gambling is all about right?though we are treating it badly to gather winnings and not to enjoy.

Sometimes I need that adrenaline,so I wanted to gamble until I exhaust my money or I feel I got enough of adrenaline rush for that day.Making money was never my intention to my gambling because I know I am not that much lucky person. ;D

Isn't having fun and playing it as a hobby the same? I mean, hobbies are supposed to bring you fun right? Anw, Yea I picked having fun. I mean, It involves money, yes, but if you actually think of it that way then your pretty much ruining the fun in it. Yes, when you win it's exciting and quite satisfying, BUT that's pretty much a side reward so to speak. Kind of like an additional.

Sides, if you enter a casino to earn money, you're actually just saying "Yep, I'm gonna lose everything I have today in here." Kinda feeling. The rage and such are quite tilting, yes I know, but it's part of the fun ya know? Looking back to those things makes me think of the rage itself, which is funny, not the reason why I raged.

Another thread discussing about the purpose of gambling. Dont you think that we have many threads already where we discuss the same thing over and over?
I'd suggest everyone who want to create a topic to use the search feature  first, this board is full of the same discussion but on different threads.
If you want to create a thread please find a new topic first, repeting discussion from other thread again and again is not good at all.
Just my honest opinion.

I've already used the "search feature", and I didn't find out the same poll like this one. If you find out a poll that was discussing the same thing, just post the link here and I will lock this poll directly. Remember this is a poll, not a common thread. However, I am always open to everyone that wants to give suggestion or feedback. Thank you to remind me about it.

I'm sure most people play gambling because they hope to get money from it by trying the luck they will get when they are in the game. some of them play gambling just for fun because he believes that being constantly involved in gambling can have an adverse effect on his life

That may be a massive goal to reach for many people and I don’t think many play to become rich.I play to earn some extra money to buy some new gear or to have some spare money to spend for example in these days that we have just started the holidays.The people who gamble to become rich are the ones who risk more than any other to become addicted in a short amount of time.

Each person will have a different view of gambling because through gambling it is very easy for a few people to become rich but for most of the people will become poor. I have personally experienced because I have lost more money in it, it is not easy to become rich through gambling. Myself now I am going to gamble for fun.

you mean you need to hear uncommon reason on why we play gambling  ?  the  three option on your poll was common  but the only one that i think uncomon is playing gambling because you want to become an expert or you just want to become good at it  . that will also be my choose  because i cant seem to get rich and i seem not to enjoy it  but atleast in the long time of playing it i can learn a new strategy that i can adopt in the long run  . i feel good when i master those strategy because i have never done this thing before    .

I am choosing "Have fun and spend spare time" because that is my reason right now in gambling. I don't think that I can be rich from gambling, so I need to change the reason I am playing gambling. Maybe some people have another reason besides of my reason, and some of them are using gambling to make money. Some of them are playing gambling every day because they expect to make money from gambling.

The only purpose is to earn money that is the notion when they first enter a casino. However much they try to cover it up by saying that they are gambling for fun, it is not so. They may go out with friends because they want to have some fun but in reality they are out there to make money.

Note that many hackers also gamble to "test" the site and locate vulnerabilities. For them it has a purpose, either black hat or white hat. But that is all.

Remember that many gamblers are not addicts, they dont play everyday, rather play when they have some cash to burn and they dont want to keep that money in the bank.

I guess most people gamble to be lucky. There are professionals "gamblers" too... i think most of them gamble to win. There are probably those who are into skill-based gambling to learn and hope to be lucky.    I would not advise anyone to gamble for fun especially with luck-based gambling.
I personally would gamble to be lucky, learn or to win a contest I am skilled in.

To kill time? I don't know if this is a solid reason but it definitely can be one though. Gambling is some sort of game as well, thus, we can find an entertainment in their, to kill time or whatsoever. In addition, sometimes people wanna risk something for an ambition to obtain a certain stuff, could be a decent tv or anything else besides to just being wealthy.

I think majority people will expect to get extra money when they decide to gambling and i personally would not deny one of my main reason to gamble because i want earn money from it but the difference is i was try to pushing myself to enjoyed every games i played and always be consider if i wasn't win then it not more than i have no luck while gambling

Not really. I'm sure most people don't gamble to be rich. Where did you learn that people gamble to earn money?

The most common purpose is just to have fun, killing some spare time and money. Some other gamble because they are addicted. Most people don't gamble daily unless they are addicted. Now, this is dangerous and should not be categorized the same as people who's having fun.

Gambling should really be treated as an entertainment or for fun but people or majority goes overboard on how it should be and in result?
They do experience consequences that they havent meet before.If we do try to look on poll results which all people choose up for "fun"
but i dont really believe on that and for sure there were even addicted ones just trying to hide up their true perception towards
their gambling activity.

I also only play when I'm stress or to kill time especially when I'm on the road that I need to wait for traffic. If Im done with bounty and trading. Or the road is too bumpy and trading and bounty is not applicable. I play online card gambling to not be irritated in traffic and to replace my focus in gambling playing which also offers fun and entertainment to me.

Not a realistic prospect for most, its just a game.   I reckon there are far less dreamers in gamble games then the typical lotto draw.  Gamble to riches is far less distant an objective then just winning that particular day but I dont think many gamblers imagine its a path to riches.
   Seems like everyone plays similarly just for the game itself, those who voted anyway.

I dont find that a realistic prospect for any activity at all in life.    Its like the Kind Midas fable that ultimately riches are not the primary purpose for anything really, you can do only so much to accumulate wealth.   Its the things you value that are worth far more then any winnings or kind of monetary figure placed on them, in gambling people do value the success and winning the game.

I gamble with different purposes in mind, depending on my mood and perhaps the game as well. When I play the lottery, that is not fun at all but I place a bet there just to try my luck. That is primarily for the sake of making an easy money. But when I roll the dice, I don't really have the purpose of making money. After all, I am placing very little amounts, insignificant amounts even. The purpose is simply to kill boredom or to try a new site. When I am with friends playing holdem poker, that's basically to have fun. So it all depends on the circumstances.

I gambled to while away time when I have spare time to avoid unnecessary thinking and bad feelings of the past I discovered that when gambling I remained focused and not thinking about anything else rather than playing or rolling of dice with my little coin.

As for me, gambling isn't a shortcut to get rich but rather a platform to enjoy and have fun. It has lots of risks so it will be hard if we'll take it too serious and we might lose our funds because there's no guarantee that we could gain a good profit all the time. We should know our limits when it comes to gambling.

Do we really have to conduct a survey for this?

It's so obvious that gamblers have different reasons why they played. I don't know how surveying the purpose will help us.

Like you, what's your purpose? It varies each other obviously and compiling all those reasons is just like an ordinary note we have on our notebooks.

I choose this "Be an expert/experienced gambler" and if I will achieve that success, it would not be hard for me to become rich.
To become rich is our ultimate goal because not all the time we are gambling to win money, we also need to focus on other things that could give us different kind of fun, where there is no pressure at all like gambling, so if I will be rich in gambling, I can retire early and I can enjoy my retirement since I don't have to worry about my finances anymore.

Gambling is a good shortcut to success, IF YOU ARE GOOD ON IT.

I gamble because I want to have fun, no matter if I gamble with my friends or alone. It's because of having fun and enjoy my time in gambling. Although I realize that if I lose, it's hard to feel fun because my money is gone, and that won't be very easy for me to recover the money. But so far, I think playing gambling because of wanting to search the fun thing and enjoy the time will be good for me.

I only gamble just to have fun. This is also what I usually do in my free time, so we can also call it as my hobby.
During my first time in gambling, my goal is actually to make money, but it changed after I realized that if I have that goal, I will only suffer myself in the end. Though, I am still hoping to win (who's gambler wouldn't) but more on having fun.
If I lose, then be it, at least my loss is minimal, unlike before.

Hobby I'd say? It's never the same without me gambling a bit of my funds every now and then. I guess you could say it's become part of my life? Now I ain't no expert in gambling but I could be called experienced and the like with how many hours, days, and games I've spent and played with.  Plus, there's also various side rewards if, IF I actually won. Initially, I entered gambling cause I wanted a quick buck like reallly really bad, but ever since then, I just started you know, getting it to become a part of my life, much so that the profit rewards aren't that important to me anymore.

I guess people here shows maturity on how they gamble got majority of the vote and that includes mine, we are all educated that gambling will give us headache if you take it seriously and pouring more on what we can afford to lose.

It's part of my routine already, I can make money gambling and i can lose money as well, that's being normal to be but the fun that I get in gambling is quite extraordinary so I just can't stop it despite some people are saying that it's a waste of time and money.

Joined the poll and I do agree, if you are not aiming for richness via gambling then what? Of course, most of us are in the entertainment side. Pass the time while having fun of the game.

Be an expert/experienced gambler

When we are addicted to gambling, our knowledge and experience in the field of gambling will make us like an expert. Gambling experts will use these two factors as a basis for determining their victory. Knowledge and experience are great ways to win.

But of the 4 variables you mentioned are quite close and interrelated. It's hard to find which one should be main goal besides becoming rich.

Majority of voters voted for Having fun and spend on their spare time only because they surely know that gambling is not a thing to get rich after all and this is a wrong approach in entirely any aspect of gambling because winning in bets are just chances and there is a small possibility in winning in every bet, even though it is a skill-based game there is still risk involve well especially in casino-based online gambling that had high possible risk and even though there is a 1% house edge you can not be sure winning is just a walk in the park.

Experienced give them the idea about this activities and the harmed that it can bring to your life if you made  a wrong conceptualizations. Playing to relax yourself and  enjoy it alone or play for your social is much better than thinking of this venue a good gate for success and be rich in an instant way. you need to open your eyes that there's nothing but risk each time you play inside the house.

No No I will not expect to become rich from gambling but I do expect to have some fun and maybe make some money.
But to make it simple if someone is spending their money on gambling to earn income they are in for a long ride.
It should be treated only as a hobby and not a way to quit your job.

Compared to what people believe (gamble to become rich) there are many people like me who just wants to have fun. I personally don't care about how much money I make or lose, in the end if I spent a great time and had fun and was an entertainment streak I consider it lucky, even if I end up losing all my money.

Obviously, the end result affects how much money you made/loss but that doesn't mean you can't have fun losing all your money as well, sure its easier to have fun when you made money but the other way around is till doable. For example, if I enter a poker tournament and there are hundreds of people that joined with me and only the winner makes money and I ended up being in the top 5 and be in the last table, that is super entertaining even tho I ended up with zero.

I personally join in 80% of voters choosing "have fun and spend spare time".  it never occurred to me to be "Be an expert / experienced gambler" because gambling is not my main occupation, I respect the voters who choose others, whatever our choice Gambling is not as bad as others think (because the environment around me thinks gambling is a crime).

The average gambler is doubting here but it's normal.Simply to gamble to have fun (in addition to get rich) but if he often dice it is his routine.
he probably visits the casino every day, which is a routine, but he thinks he is gambling to have fun, which is normal and not an addiction.

Some do play gambling for fun and that is their main reason why they play gambling and not really to make money out of it. Just like some hackers do sometimes, some of them do hack not basically to make money but just to show their talents in what they are good at doing.

Having fun but also thinking of making a bit of money from it although sometimes I fail. I want to win and earn but I've never thought of that I'll become rich with gambling someday. It's my dream when I was younger but I've already given that ambition.

Apart from the reasons mentioned, I prefer the reason about trying a luck. That way then at least we will not always gamble too often, because we will only gamble when it really is wanted to do it or in a good mood, and when it is applied to a sports gambling then we will only gamble when there is a match that is at least have a special attraction for myself to bet and try a luck.

Expect to get 'rich' from gambling?
I don't even think it's possible becoming rich from gambling especially the ways casinos owners are running their casinos these days.
Though it's possible becoming 'rich' in lotto. If the winner is in luck or have calculated the numbers properly. However, everyone gamblers purpose for gambling is to make some money, no one is in this for the 'fun' as most may claim.

Most people said it was for fun and spending spare time was their main purpose, but unfortunately it wasn't the conformity of the situation. They went addicted to it in the long run, and can't handle the emotional struggles when losses happened.

No one would be rich from gambling in my opinion, because once a person wins big, then the next day he will lose again and again, so that the victory money finally runs out too. For me playing gambling just to fill in spare time when I'm bored.

Becoming rich is just a bonus if we do think off sensibly but people are forcing up themselves to become one by means of gambling and in result?
They do lost soo much due to chasing up that kind of opportunity.Luck is the biggest factor to be rich but it should really be removed on someones mind
and as said earlier where this will really be the main reason which would push you to play even further until you bust up.

One of the most common reasons why people want to play gambling they want to become wealthy because it is easy to earn money if you win just a single game. But there's more reason most of us want to play gambling to satisfy our desire we have a different passion for playing. Sometimes desire to have money to become rich and sometimes willingness to fulfill our emptiness in life want to find some thrill and full of excitement that you cannot find in just simple card games.

If one person wins big and after that they quit on betting I am sure that they are going to be rich, you just said it! not all people are going to bet after they win big or hit the jackpot. don't make a statement like that if you will just make an example for one individual it just ruins the logic.


Discipline is what it takes to take your winning at home, if you win a large amount of money, then stop and go home. I think almost all of the gamblers are going to agree on that. The only that go into losing stage after winning are the one that is greedy and the one that doesn't have a discipline.

AFAIK there are some people getting rich from gambling, like those who won huge amount from the National Lottery or those who gamble regularly (usually poker games). If one day you win big, you need to have good money management so you wont lose it again. At least self control is required here, to avoid losing back what you have just won.

We can play gambling without having a purpose to become wealthy because getting rich from gambling will be too difficult, and that will not happen to most people. Only a few people can win much money and become rich, but for the others, they will only lose the money. Like the other people who choose to play gambling because of fun, I decided to have the same purpose as them because I admitted that is the reason that we can have in gambling, so we don't chase the win money.

i play gamble daily at most times everytime i finish posting on this forum  . i

 use gambling as a time killer to kill boredom  but im not on the point of playing for real  .

 i only use the gambling sites faucet money to play  .  i am not expecting to get rich with those faucet money but if i got lucky sometimes i can be able to reach the sites withdrawal threshold limit and i can withdrew some nice profit which was cool  . i love online gambling ;)

Some players grew up playing gambling taught by their parents in their homes; some card games, and such thing. In addition it is the human nature to feel excited. The sense of anticipation creates an adrenaline rush that at some point made them stick to gambling or leave them a feeling of looking it to the only place they can get it to, furthermore playing gambling, risking something to it, the sense of winning. It is something a feeling of a gambler cannot live without. In addition the ambiance, different feelings, different people, different sounds and emotions that stimulates and arouse our senses, all of it may get to be a reason that a gambler looking in order to escape problems, and/or responsibilities in everyday life.

That's right, there is even a list of the richest gamblers. that means gambling can make someone rich, but the chances are very small if you expect from the jackpot. because I'm sure most crypto gamblers are just for fun. to be rich from gambling certainly at least requires a big fund as well. while starting with small funds is very difficult.

Do not make it a habit as you do it regularly and a point would come where you would not be able to live without it. Try to skip few days and see if you can stay without it and develop some new hobby or passion. Its fine at times when people play for fun and to entertain but not always.

There could be only 2 broad classifications on purposes of gambling: playing for money and playing for entertainment. But, a  third category also will be possible in some sense like "playing for both money and entertainment".

I guess this would be a better way of being a gambler. Because, gambling is not 100% eliminating the chances of providing earning opportunities (expecting consistent earning opportunity would be a problem) so we may enjoy if we get some money otherwise simply enjoying the game itself must be the right way of approaching it.

It does not mean that they have stopped. People blame the gambling still they might be playing and I am afraid that one day you also may join to them to blame gambling still you may allocate some funds on regular basis to continue your gambling to find the fun like your early days. Yes, this is how gambling addictions are working.

Even I did not rich in the gambling It's okay for me because Im contented if I getting rich in playing gambling and my mindset is earning money not to earn lot's of money or become rich. We know all of the player the main reason or purpose in playing gambling even ridky they do that for money but the possible also is having fun because sometimed when we are sad when we play it gives us happiness.

Gambling is good too for the killing of boredom most of the gamblers do not have time to go to the casino because of being busy in work and other stuff, also we play gambling because it satisfies our desires, as a person, we have a different reason why do we need to gamble. One of the primary goals of gamblers is to gain more money and sources to help them living in daily life. Still, there are some people want to gamble because this is part of their routine it is hard to remove on their experience to play gambling this sometimes indicates of being addiction in betting; still we can control our selves in playing.

Playing gambling can give excitement to the people who love playing with risk because they are trying to test their ability to handle the situation and also their luck. Sometimes risk takers are the most profitable person because they don't mind what will the outcome.

Majority of the people voted that they are doing this for fun, and that reflects how educated some of us here, but it does not reflect the whole picture of gamblers that play for fun, there are still a huge percentage of gamblers that wants to beat the house or finding ways to beat the house, I voted for fun but in the back of my mind I also want to make money.

I wouldn't mind if I won big, but this is never my purpose, and mostly because I know that I can't win big with the bets I make. I mean the size of them. If you place 20 sats bet on 9900x multiplier, you can't expect winning something over 0.002 BTC, right? Same goes for poker. Playing with low stakes, you can't expect winning big. So, I'm definitely not playing with expectations of high profits. I do want some profits because it makes me feel good when I win, but the amount I win is almost irrelevant to me.

You hurt my feelings, lol.. I did not vote for having fun in gambling, i voted "to be an expert.
For me, in order to be called educated, you should know how to manage the risk, irregardless of your purpose in gambling.

No one can beat the house consistent, because the house always wins regardless of how small the edge are, what I did, I gamble a game with no house edge because I want to win and I want to become an expert.

I really don't think that the vast majority of gamblers gamble with the expectation of becoming rich, after all, nearly all games of chance available online have a limited size jackpot and a limited win multiplier. Because of this, there are only a few games that can really make players rich, e.g. lottery type games, slots with a jackpot and games with a multiplier over 100.

With that said, I think most people simply gamble for the thrill of it. It's one thing to beat somebody at a game where nothing is at stake, it's an entirely different feeling to beat somebody when there is something on the line—even if it is just beating the casino at its own games. This is mostly why I play poker at low stakes tables now, whomping on the fish is a feeling that you can't get anywhere else really.

I prefer they bet to get money compared to the desire to get rich, and they bet every day the reason is because they can only rely on income from playing gambling and for their daily needs.
it sounds very risky because it is impossible every day to always get money from gambling but it has become an option, and it happened with some of my friends and so far they are fine and their needs are always met.
and for those who have a reason to play gambling just for fun because their daily needs are met, but it cannot be denied they also hope to win.

Personally I don't expect to be rich in gambling. Because I know the consequences and the risk it has. I gamble seeking for an opportunity to win but doesn't except that I can be rich. Just hoping for some money. I don't know about others. Because it's hard to be rich in gambling, you know that what you expect can happen completely differently.
And I gamble to have fun and entertainment purposes also.

People are choosing to have fun in spare time, there is also an option to become an experienced gambler, whatever choice you will make I'm sure that you will also accomplish that as well if you want to gamble in your spare time and have some fun, you can do that but you will also become experienced and might end up a playing for money too.

When it comes on finding excitement or leisure times then each person are really different.Some might consider other activities aside
from gambling and some would just simply stick on playing.Who wouldnt mind on becoming rich when we do gamble? For sure majority
will really have that kind of mindset on becoming rich since we know that results are instant when we do gamble and this is the
wrong thing on most people.

Yes the main reason for gambling is to earn money and to get rich only few people are there who gamble for fun but majority gamble to earn money. Gambling is profitably played by me last year when I was just playing it for fun but when I won huge profit from it then I become more interested in it and now it’s way it make money for me.

Either of the two choices will do, whether you play to have some fun and get some winnings or play to earn and also have fun, excluding all the negative sides of gambling.

The purpose that we're searching for in our won't appear in front of us if we're not going to give it a try no matter how risky it is for us, especially in gambling, where we experience many loses but some of us still strives for their dreams about making fortune in gambling, though most of them didn't make it.

I am vote for spend my time, it is right actually because when i bored i deposit $5 and play dice maybe. But sometime i deposit on game online, only when in mood i play gambling. Both of what i did, i already know and not expect to get my money back. And that amount of money already enough for me to kill time.

Some people gamble to socialize, to relieve stress, And to get to know people. Especially those who are already rich, some would just go to casino to socialize with other people and to relieve stress and have fun. Gambling can be a good way to make time pass by, however, if you are financially incapable this will not work because of the risk.

Gambling is something meant for fun and entertainment along with adding streaks of money. The whole picture is not about money rather a small corner is allocated to winning money. Gambling itself is not a headache, people have made it headache for themselves as they simply invest more than what they can afford to lose which simply make them borrow money from others and going in debts.

Gambling is something where we risk big with the hope of earning big. If there isn't no way to make an earning out of the risk gambling could have never been preferred and used much by people from nook and corner of the world. This makes people give importance to gambling as a way to be rich and very few give consideration as an entertainment.

firs of all people just wanna chill having fun and just using their spare time.

but then as time goes by it ALWAYS turn to addicted, no matter how people at first time have an intention for the pure fun , hard to avoid addiction in gambling and your purpose changed as well , this is the irony.
setting a target to get rich by gamble is a fantasy , there is a super tiny chance but still it feels like just a fantasy.

the thrill in gambling is priceless, you can not find that feel anywhere else.
but the addiction in it always scared everybody.

^ That is wrong if you are risking a big amount just to hunt a big return of earning, that is greed. They should know how to spend money that they can only afford to lose and not your whole money. I choose and voted this is my habit and I gamble just because of fun activity that might entertain me for a while. But at the same time, I am hoping that the small amount that I can afford to lose will have a profit but if I can't, that is fine. Nevertheless, gambling entertainment is priceless.

If I were you, I'll just focus on my own enjoyment and not letting my own greed help me to earn money. If you just want to entertain yourself and just spend your time playing like it is a hobby, if you lose a certain amount of money then it is okay with you. Your emotion will not be affected because you enjoyed it.

That's correct, entertainment is priceless and you're always won an enjoyment and contentment.

A small amount will do and let it lose, if it wins then its good, if it lose then it is also good. Taking gambling as a past time is a win win for you.

I think "have fun and spend spare time" and "it's all about my hobby" are most likely the same.

Anyway, I've chosen the "have fun and spend spare time" also it is most likely as my hobby because most of the time I like to play gambling on my own. Maybe the getting rich part is not too far from the topic but I was trying to aim some winning too when playing, you know. ;D

There is not any other reason to gamble apart from the fact that people try to be rich.
Those who say "I am doing for fun" they don't actually do it for fun. They try to be rich from that. Otherwise they might be playing board games or anything other that doesn't require to bet money.

Logically your point of view is right that when people start to play gambling games then they aim for the money to win and many of them think to be rich but still there are some people who are curious about the games there and want to know that how it work. For many people playing with money is also a part of entertainment. They try their skills to see that if they can win or lose money with that skills which also give them some pleasure that is why they come to gamble for entertainment.

[Except being rich]
at first it was definitely just for fun while spending time but if you get profit then it's better. after a long time wanting to hone the ability to gamble to become an expert gambler, when doing so it turned out to be an addictive effect that can not be stopped and ends like a routine.  I can not describe in more detail, roughly that's how I feel right now.

True, besides being rich, many people will say that having fun is their gambling goal. Of the 37 members who voted, 30 of them have chosen to have fun and spend free time. So having fun and spending free time is the second choice for gamblers to continue playing and addicted.

But if a person have control on himself from the beginning then he cannot be ruined by starting gambling because I also a few years ago started gambling and I started to see that how it work and wanted to see that how much entertainment is in it and I kept myself in control and till now I am not addicted and I spend my life happy and not losing my money useless.

Haha you are right. Obviously they would happy too if they won alot of money while they doing it "for fun". They are just can't telling the truth about that. If they are doing it for fun only too, they will not using real money but they prefer to use faucet/free money or even demo money to play

But the reality, gambling isn't just for fun but to win the jackpot prize and be happy. It can be difficult when you are using a real money in gambling when you are aiming to have just fun, may using freebies or whatever it is but at least we spent nothing from our pocket which means that we are not worried if either we lose or not.

When Facebook introduced through Zynga I got hooked with playing poker and I play hours and hours playing poker but I dont want to play using my money on other online casino. Then came Bitcoin, I earned Bitcoin and I was introduced to online casinos using Bitcoin, so instead of wasting my time on games that doesn't pay, I tried playing that pays in Bitcoin. However, I don't play for the sake of earning more money. I just want to play the game that I like and get paid in Bitcoin if I win.

though not an fb game on my end, i used to play online generating coins from that game. however at that time, theres no value as crypto was not popular back then. but now, you can find game sites which are paying coins that you can convert to BTC or other alts which are of value in the market. so yeah, aside from fun, you can get a lil bit of money from crypto games now. though its not that much, but your main purpose of enjoyment has been served with bonus of crypto coins. remember, back then you are paying a lot just to upgrade your character for your own satisfaction, so now, why not earn a lil bit of crypto from it

Because we know making money from gambling and being rich is the hardest thing that we can get into gambling. We will not have a big chance to make money and getting rich, except we have luck every time we played gambling. That is normal to see many people will say that playing gambling is to have fun and spend free time because we know the risk of playing gambling. As long as we can manage our money and time in gambling, we will not get addicted to gambling because we can limit the money and time, and we know how to stop gambling.

Mostly because I have plenty of time to pass, and gambling helps me fill up that otherwise unused time pretty well. I have a pretty decent supply of Bitcoin for gambling anyways, and most of the sites that I gamble on don't have extremely stringent KYC restrictions, so I either have money on the site(s) I want to play on, or I can send that money over and play in just a few minutes. While I'd love to become rich from gambling, that realistically won't be happening and I do other things like flipping sneakers and other collectible items in my free time as well which generates much more revenue than gambling ever could for me.

This is the problem.

In our place, there are a lot of people that can't manage their money well so they usually spend it on something that is not that special or just waste it on betting. They think gambling is something that can make someone rich quickly not adding the fact that they can be lost and can be addicted to it. Despite them not being addicted, they do not spend their money wisely, I think that is the problem.

Seems like it is a habit for me although I do it for once a week. Do you have a habit? Like smoking or etc? I just feel if I do something and it has became a habit then you'll get different purpose from what your intention before you do it. Like me, being a smoker for almost 4 years and for the first intention I tried smoking just because it feels but now it has been change I smoke just because it is my habbit. And this case will be same when I play gambling, yeah for the first time I play gambling it was because I need make money instantly and I'll getting rich quickly but now these things have been changed, I play gambling just because it is my habbit.

That is the problem with other gamblers they are too emotional that they cant manage their own money and they gamble until they lose a lot. I gambled because I am having fun on it and it gives me comfort in my living. Others are making it as a  comfort thing also, we just need to gamble in moderation to avoid massive loses while enjoying it.

you cannot stop them from doing such because it is their money and life that wasted,but you must do anything to prevent yourself from being one of them.

i don't blame people who becomes addicted because sometimes it is their call and sometimes they have no option in life but to gamble.

we must be thankful that we are not one of them and we manage to live life to the fullest and our family is our life.

Getting addicted is a fate, because at some point when we loss our money out of gambling which is kept aside for our living we don't have any other go. By the time the only way possible is to get back the earning out of the same gambling. This is where situations go worse. Very few understand it and spend accordingly. This means people never have the mind to be rich once after losing big, they just understand and to lead a normal life they want what's been lost.

I can relate to this. It may look like a contradictory statement to some people, but not to me. Even though some sites allow me to place zero bets, I don't do it anymore. I've noticed that, for some reason, even winning just 100 satoshi is better than nothing. Yes, it is just $0.007, a really negligible amount, but if no money involved at all, there's no fun in the game.

That's on point.

Those people who have spare time more than anyone would have bigger chance to get involved in gambling more often as they find it fun plus thrilling in making money .
Especially yeah when you have a lot of crypto to spend and thinking to grow them up in this 'dark' way ;D ... that's perfect reasons for you to gamble although yeah behind all of these there's an ambition to become rich quickly overnight lol.

i remember it well that Zynga brings me gambling games from Poker.Roulette and even Bingo ,things that change my life in past because i spend also many hours dealing with computer but not involving Money but just for fun.

then Cryptocurrency came and this forum in which offered me many sites to Play gambling.

but lucky that i did not get hooked instead i only played in funny ways,and not to profit.

If they're addicted I think it was an specific decisions that's why they fell on that situation. Don't ever blame someone, but yourself on how you face those consequences in life. Probably you'll get over someday after realizing the effect of your wrong actions actually.

When I started to gamble using my hard earned money my purpose on why I gamble is to double my money. I thought its easy but didnt know that it all depends on luck, thats my mistake thinking that way that led me to addiction.

Though I overcome the past mistakes dealing in gambling, I still remember those times and now I dont want to commit the same mistakes again. I still gamble for fun using a spare money with control and discipline.

so what is the vote?is that Number 3?to be an expert gambler?because that seems to be your choice right?to be practical when talking about gambling?

anyway that is the reality but people keep hiding to be just finding happiness but the truth is?all is for money when ot talks about why they are betting.

Honestly, my intention why i started to play gambling except from earning good money with it are bonding with my friends or family and leisure time, in short for entertainment because i started to get interested more about gambling when my friends and family started to invite to play with them at the casino to solve our boredom at home.

My goal is to make regular money every month. I know this doesn't sound easy because most people can win on a gambling site but they also suffer a huge loss. This is a huge risk that I have to take. I also bet more often on sports these days because it's easier for me to predict . And I can cash out if the match results do not match my predictions

This is a really sad fact of life and I keep seeing it happen to many people. Which is why I always tell myself to ensure I have a friend who understands gambling know where I gamble and what I do with money.

Also, for bills and savings, make sure you give your partner or girlfriend or whatever the money to pay things, so you can never be tempted to take the money and deposit.

Nobody should ever gamble to be rich. When that happens, immediately seek help.

Well, my purpose why i play gambling for leisure time when i am bored at home and at work because sometimes i need things that could keep me busy, and gambling in a crypto casino is one of the best solution solve my problem when i don't have any things to do or i am bored.

getting rich from gambling is relative from an individual perspective, I prefer to think of it as a reward for the results of my routine for always playing with a stable level of satisfaction. I chose the choice to become an expert / experienced gambler, my game performance and luck are not always good all the time, but experience and ability can be strong pillars in all situations.

The main motive for me to gamble is indeed to make more money & be rich. But I got into gambling, starting with card games as I like the strategy associated with it and the games themselves. Another reason for me to get into it was my friends. There was a phase when everyone around me started playing poker or black Jack for fun & to pass time

There was a study between married people gambling and single people gambling and it turns out there was a huge difference between the two, married people do not gamble nearly as much as single people.

I assume there are factors involved with this, one is time because married people spend a lot of time with their families whereas single people spend a lot of time... well single, another could be financial risks, if a single guy loses money he is only responsible for himself and he could potentially ruin his own life at worst whereas a married person could ruin at least one another person potentially more.

We can find more reasons but I am pretty sure the reasons why single people gamble more are quite similar to reasons why people gamble and their purposes.

So what is your answer?because i believe the OP is about our purpose and not by others .

---

I must admit that i expect to learn more when gambling but also i want to enjoy when in the table,so the thing is i am playing to learn and also to have fun.
Though i know majority of the answers are for FUN (but the truth is?they wanna win )

Well, I know most of us this is was our mindset. The majority of us here are choosing to have a fun activity and gamble when you have spare time not just a daily habit which probably causes gambling addiction. There are a lot of purposes why we are on gamble aside from having fun, the fact is also hoping that the money they willing to spend is to make double and gain profit. I dont think of being rich because that is impossible to happen but if there is a chance we will accept the opportunity of course, but hunting on it is not a good decision.

The first time I read the topic, I told myself, is this topic will go many times in this forum in a loop? Well, after browsing this, I guess there were some variation on other topics. Since, being a pro gambler was mentioned and etc. For me, what seconds the rich mindset is always fun. I really love gambling.

Gamblers get addicted because they do not realize that they play the games too long without stopping for a while. Even if they realize, they still continue playing because gambling is very tempted them to play more and more. So that makes them lose their control, and they can't stop or leave the place. We cannot blame them because that will be their decision, but we can remind them not to play gambling for a long time.

I already have that experience, but luckily I can hold myself and try to reduce my time to play gambling. And now, I can control myself in gambling, so I don't have to worry about anything.

Yes, because to be rich from gambling is something like an illusion that will in fact be difficult to achieve. Being an expert I don't think that is the right word for now, but about experienced players then that is the right phrase because gambling is about luck, even though you consider yourself an expert but still, you should have a higher level of luck.

I think except from winning or to earn profit probably entertainment we cannot deny that it is entertaining most of the time and I think this is only the common porpuses but sometimes I just want to play because I'm bored and also I want to get information about the gambling websites that I'm playing with just for research porpuses and also to review the websites.

In my opinion there are many reasons one gambles and unfortunately these can be shaped by the misfortunate environment we grew up in. For some it may be as simple as gaining some control over the few seconds they play, for some is feeling important and relevant while for some there is pure adrenaline and fun. Others also try in hope for a better future.

^ The words I bolded above was definitely right, I am also like that when I get bored and I want something that can entertain my mind and made me relax after my whole day work. Gambling is the right place for me to enjoy the moment or something there's someone that I gonna wait. I dont think so if others wanted to be rich quick in gambling but yes, they are hoping to win but that is too much if on their mindset to get rich in gambling.

Yes, it is. We are gambling not because only for the reason that we want to earn more money, but because it is now our happiness and a comfort to us. It becomes our recreational activity, after a long long working time , it makes us more productive after a game, also it trains our minds to do more.

Gambling can be also a sort of learnings...it will strengthen in making decision which we would like to have and it has a mental effect. However, such a mental effect will drive also to the worse thing which is an addiction.
And the truth is that people will come to gambling because of money but it gradually increase our faith towards crypto and the positive results that may help to spread crypto.

For example I play poker with my friends quite regularly and we usually don't play for money. Mostly people play it for money because it makes it more interesting but the fact that you can enjoy playing it even without money proves that gambling games have other purposes beside earning financial gain.

But unfortunately, many people are getting trap in gambling games. The first time they knew gambling is for recreational activity, but in the next days, they came back to play another game, and they found that playing some gambling games is exciting, and that makes them stay to play for longer. When they come back in the next days, they think this time they can win those games, so they are not thinking about gambling is a recreational activity, but they feel that gambling is a way to make money. In the end, their reason for playing gambling games is changing to how to they can make money from gambling.

I support you on this point. Gambling does not have to be about money all the time. Sometimes it is for bonding especially if the gambling game you are playing is played not against other people but against a group of friends. There will be money involved to make the game a bit more interesting and competitive but it is not the main thing really. The more important thing is that you have got to spend some nice bonding moments with your friends. 

exactly mate that is why there are many gamblers that looks into gambling as a profiteering area and they can't stop trying their luck time after time,it is like Lottery bettors that even having difficult time to win yet continuing their desire to win jackpot.
that is why the difference of the answers are indeed though many says it is for fun but the truth is?they are more on money and not the happiness because if they win they celebrate but when lose?so eager and angry lol

Gambling is actually fun for me, its a great way to spend or try your luck with spare money. Many times I have won good amounts and other times I have enjoyed the play. If you are trying to be rich with gambling then there is a higher chance of loosing.

while we are seeking for more winnings it is the more we are going to lose many,so better enjoy the game without high intention of winnings that to expect too much.there are many gamblers that fails on this way so if you dont want to be one then step away from profiting from this game and just start doing it for happiness

If your ultimate motive of gambling is to become rich, then you're an idiot.

Gambling in the long run has a negative expected value and anyone who has any amount of exposure to probabilities will know that this means in the long run, you will expect to lose more on aggregate than you win. It's also the reason the house has the incentive to take your bets.

Your main motive should be to keep yourself entertained. Nothing more.

There's a lot of reasons one could want to.

You can do it professionally, which doesn't necessarily make you rich.
You can enjoy it as a hobby.
In some situations, it's very convenient to gamble, like gambling instead of splitting restaurant bills.
It can be a way to add some real fun/purpose either with or against friends in situations, for example betting on games or disjointed beliefs about outcomes of events.
I also believe that exposure to repeated risk (in healthy amounts) actually improves one's overall outlook in life when they learn to cope with loss better.

I'm sure I could come up with other reasons but there's many things for sure outside of simply getting filthy rich.

Simply said, who gamble to become rich is an idiot, and that idiot will probably stay without money sooner or later. Gambling is entertainment, who like card games, who like probabilities and to calculate them in head, gambling is interesting and many games are really fun to play, addition to that is possibility to win some money if you have luck with the strategy you are trying.

I got into gambling few years back through my network of friends during a party. The blinds were small and everyone was playing for the fun. Soon, me and my friends used to sit everyday, gambling several sessions a day just cos we liked the game and the fun associated with it. So, personally for me the fun and thrill associated with gambling is what gets me going.

Most people who gamble are already rich. They are "rich" that is why they are able to place such high bets. You might now wonder why are they gambling in the first place if they are already rich? Because they enjoy gambling. They have fun when they place high bets. All those adrenaline rush makes them feel good. Some gamble to spend their leisure time, while others just to socialize.

My purpose in life why I am still and why I am play gambling is because it is fun and I have been getting a lot of friends and family through the use of gambling that's why I am still playing on it although I am losing sometimes but yes I am insisting to play again on the other day, this maybe addiction but I called it as a hobby because this is one of the best way for me to relax and relieved the stress that I have been experience in the field or work. This probably the best way for me to enjoy my money although I am still giving my salary to my wife but still I am getting some money in order to gamble it and relax myself. It is very hard to stop especially when you love something you do and also if it is your passion.

Trying you luck or trying to be rich or earn money? That could all give you losses. As long as you are dealing with gambling, there is always a high chance that you will lose. I think it is really better to have fun rather than focus on getting a profit. Atleast even though you are hoping to win, you are still having fun.

all options are included in the same package as I want. But I do not consider it really just for fun, and spending free time. Gambling is also a productive activity and can be adjusted to my other work hours. The main goal remains to enjoy life by engaging in challenges and luck, profit and loss only as a result of the courage and decision process.

You can play gambling anytime you want, but you must manage your time and money, so you don't lose all of your money. It is better if you can control yourself in gambling because that is one factor that every gambler should have. Besides that, you don't have to have reason to get rich from gambling because gambling is not a job like the other job. Many people know about that, but they tend to play gambling for a long time because they hope that they can win the jackpot. Gambling is only to get fun and spend our time on our busy day.

There are many purposes for which people get into gambling, some of them could be passing time, having fun , spending time with friends and etc. i personally got into gambling through bunch of friends and we used to gamble everyday with small blinds as it was not about earning but having fun with the game and experience.

Number 2 and nothing else maybe. Because i am not type of others options. Not a hobby, routine activity and for number 1, even in game i can't always be good. So i play gambling only to spend time, or maybe use little amount of money, end with lose and do another activity.

OP should probably consider adding "to just try my luck"... that could take away lots of the votes going to "have fun... ".
Well, I do not want to believe that so many people gamble to have fun. The problem with this is that if you begin to experience less fun at home, office, work, (basically outside of the gambling environment), you will likely seek gambling as a way out of the lack of fun, and probably become addicted, especially if the fun outside of the gambling environment continues to be inadequate.

You are right to some extent as you personally is responsible for your acts. So we should remain wise while taking  decision about gambling make sure you are in senses. Spend for gambling  if you choose it as a profession. It is way to make money so we should work on it and collect some skills for it. We can use gambling as both way to make money and to enjoy our time.

My personal goal is to try luck to become a winner.
But most of what actually happens is defeat and losing money.
Though most people already know betting only to lose but still enjoy the game so I feel like gambling for fun.

For me, the purpose of playing gambling is not just to get rich. But for me to amuse myself, because I play gambling for my hobby and winning is one of the goals for gambling. If I lose, I will stop and play again next time.

There is a contradicting in your statement mate,you have mentioned first that you dont want to get rich but you wanted to win everytime you played?you are saying you dont want to get rich because your budget is limited but if given a chance to have more budget?i am sure you will seek to become richer.

Since you already knew that,then why continues to play?and why always trying your luck when the losing is always what you’ve got?better not look for luck insteas find enjoyment.

Be careful with a goal like that. In many cases gambling addiction starts from such goals. Yes, this is a huge risk, as you said it yourself, but you don't have to take it. Unless you are Tom Dwan owing millions USD to Triad (as it is said in one contemporary fairy tale), you don't have to take that risk. Gamble for entertainment, and find a good job to make regular money every month.

Same this is what I also do and ensure that it only is being done for the entertainment and have fun and not to make as a hobby or want to make quick money which I know is not going to happen as you need luck too for that matter .

Some of the answers I’ve heard before
- Win money
- Just for fun
- To escape from daily life
- To change mood
- Train math skills

The reason playing gambling is just for fun or just for entertainment will be better suited for those who have a lot of money or when they have a lot of money and if they experience defeat it's not a problem, but for those who don't have a lot of money, their goal is to get money and to fulfill their needs and must win the bet.
so it all depends on their circumstances for different reasons.

You missing something
- get rid of bad luck
Sometimes it will happen, in another country like Chinese some people won't get money but gambling to throwing bad luck

Yea i know about it its like urban culture but I would quite believe if it came from Chinese
But still funny how lost and gambling will make you got luck with other haha

Yes, that is my reason also why I gamble because of this list, it is true indeed that I can be rich thru this and the good thing is, I did not only get the money that I wanted but also it improves me, my way to analyze things, my strategies, my math skills and my patience above all. It is my comfort thing now and I hope people will realize this also.

Winning money shall not be the only goal of gambling s you said. It shall be paired with pleasure that we can enjoy maximum with winning shots. Going after winning money without strategies leads to great dungeon of addiction. You shall be proud of yourself as you know when to stop the game and take some rest. Most of the time, people are unable to pick up exit point and this is where they lose real money.

Many people are playing gambling because of that purpose, but they cannot win money if they don't have luck. Maybe they need to consider to play gambling just for fun only and don't think about winning the gambling games. I am not sure that gambling can be a way to escape from daily life because I am sure that we can find the other things to do that, and we can get the benefits. But in gambling, you could only get bad benefits, which is you will only lose your money in a short time and a long time.

There are rich people who are not seeking profit in gambling, they are just wasting their money for their enjoyment. I'm a type of gambler who seek both fun and profit but fun is overwhelmed than earning profit. I do no want to spend most of my money in gambling and that is why I place a limitation when I gambling my money. There is also specific time that I needed to follow for me to have a limitation and for me to not get addicted to it.

Considering gambling just for fun was only for that purpose of entertainment, but what's in reality was gambling in return for lucky winning profit. More people won't notice that they're doing it for fun but in long term they usually resulted with addiction. Unfortunately most situation tend to fall on extreme habits which involves a huge amount of money, that's potential of being lost.

I'm only do gambling for have fun and spent spare time.
We all know that many considered gamble based on luck, but gamble also need knowledge and strategy. Knowledge and strategy got when have much time to learn and spend in gamble, I believe people who play gambling for getting rich will spend more time compared averages gamblers to achieve their goal.

^^^If you gamble only to have fun and spend your spare time, you will stay right there. You will not become someone who has vast knowledge and effective gambling strategies. Those who have both are mostly spending full time in gambling, honing their skills, developing new strategies, testing them, and improving if needed. But we share the same idea of gambling. I also gamble during my spare time. You and I are both luck gamblers. Others are not.

when they are Richman no problem with burning money by gambling. Still when we are talking about culture, lost or winner it's not necessary, get rid of bad luck is the point to be the main purpose for gambling.

Some people who spend more time than anyone else would have a greater chance of becoming more interested in gambling because they find it fun and exciting to make money. Especially if you have to spend a lot of bitcoin and worry about growing them up in this way. That's perfect reasons for you to gamble although yeah behind all of these there's an ambition to become rich quickly overnight. The only way to become rich is to hold your bitcoin.

I agree with you and I also choose that option. I think it is the main reason for me to play gambling regularly. When I play gambling, I won't spend my time only for fun since it seems so dishonest. I don't deny that the main purpose is for money.

Indeed. We cannot win on every gambling since it is impossible. But we must learn something from every loss. It will be very helpful for the next attempts.

Yes, you are right. That's why we need to be experienced gamblers. Amateur will get nothing and waste their time only.

I can agree on most of that. To add on top of it that fun gives them the feeling similar to the drugs high. After you stop gambling for longer periods of time you feel the withdrawal symptoms, you want to seek for that high again. And this is the problem why many people cannot escape this loop and stop destroying their lives. However if gambling is done in moderation then it wouldn't become an addiction and it could be a great way to pass the time.

Developing new strategies and testing them is part of the fun, but don't get too serious about that. In the luck based games all strategies are the same in the long run regarding to outcome. And in sports betting and poker they are almost the same, because luck is a huge factor still. And I disagree that you can't learn something when playing for fun. Knowledge comes with practice, so if there's anything to learn, you can learn it even while playing for fun only.

well you said you play only for fun . if you trully play for fun then you wont be needing all of those because you wont care on how much you loose or bet anyway   . 


why ? i think those who have goals can spend more time , like for example if thier goal is to get a vip status . that means they need to spend more time waggering  . but if your only into profit , you will just gamble big and stop because if you play longer you will end getting busted   . that is the only way to earn on gambling  .

Those richman purpose to spare time when they play gambling. For some play to grow their funds aiming from the start of game. When we gamble expect that we can win and lose the game so usually I play for fun and entertainment purpose.

I have friends who are into gambling too so there are times we meet at a casino and there we spend time, chat and play as well. Its a good bonding too for those who wants to bring their foreign clients specially if they are into card games like poker. there was a time when I bring my visitor to a golf course because I thought he will love it there but it turns out, he finds it boring, but when I brought him to a casino, he loved it there specially when I allow him to win on poker.

We are different than the rich man, that is for sure. We don't have enough money to play gambling, and we cannot expect to win the games. But we can play gambling because we want to search for the fun things in gambling so we can enjoy the games. At the same time, we can hope that we are lucky to win the games so we can get the win money to brought to the home.

Of course, everything must be part of the fun. In purely luck-based games such as dice, lottery, roulette, heads or tails, and so on strategies are mostly for fun and not for winning because everybody knows there are no strategies that would actually beat the house in the long run.

In other games, however, luck may be a huge factor but not the primary factor. In fact, fun may also be a great factor but the players are playing to compete and win and not just have fun regardless of winning or losing. That applies to poker. Professional poker gamblers are even giving priority to winning the game rather than winning the prize.
