Online gambling platforms exists not only to get you some lucky wins, it's also another form of entertainment,  but I will like to ask if truly you people are getting that entertainment from gambling?

We can see what the world is becoming now, things are getting harder and what's on peoples mind is how to make even more money, there is no time, there are too many responsibilities,  are you sure you getting entertained?

Some people already feel like they are not having fun, because what they have in mind is making money, to all people that feels this way, If you feel like you aren't having fun I believe for the greater good, it's better to take a break from gambling and do something else.

Do you agree or disagree?

I believe that most people end up messing themselves up with gambling because to them everything is money, money, money, and this can stop your brain from becoming a responsible gambler, the sense of protecting yourself from gambling addiction can get lost if you are already not having fun with gambling anymore.

I will say yes. There are times I will be with my friends and we can take laptops and phones and gamble together. That makes it an entertainment for me.

There are times that I may be alone and I have nothing doing, I can gamble with little amount of money that time. I am always busy and I only have little time for this which is during weekend.

When I was addicted, I remember it was because I was looking for a way to be earning weekly income, I tried gambling and it affected me negatively until I realized that I was stupid for thinking like that. Gambling can not be a source of income. When I started to work, all I was thinking is to use 5% or less to gamble. There are many people that are contented with what they have but people can not be the same.

I agree because that is what is actually happening but gambling should not be seen as a way of making money.

I can not agree more, you are right.

The words fun and entertainment have been erased from our dictionaries as gamblers depending on where you are in the social hierarchy. For the upper class, gambling is fun. When they gamble, they have a glass of wine on the table and a cigar in their mouth for those who smoke. They gamble with their other rich friends of the same heirarchy. They do it for fun, it is bonding time. I don't think they play at online casinos.

The shrinking middle class and the lower class are the ones who gamble as a source of income, to solve a problem, to double their money. For these people gambling can't be fun, nor entertainment. Gambling for them is a side hustle,  a do-or-die affair. They go broke gambling, they don't bond with friends rather they lose friendships and relationships because of their gambling habits.

I completely understand where you're coming from and appreciate the thoughtfulness behind your post. Online gambling, like any form of entertainment, should primarily be about enjoyment. When the line between entertainment and financial desperation blurs, it can lead to unhealthy behaviors and addiction.

It's true that the world is challenging and many are seeking alternative ways to make ends meet, but gambling shouldn't be seen as a reliable income source. The moment the primary motivation shifts from entertainment to solely making money, the essence of responsible gambling is lost. Those feeling overwhelmed or not deriving joy from it anymore should indeed consider taking a break, reflecting, and perhaps seeking other forms of entertainment or relaxation.

I agree that a healthy relationship with any form of entertainment involves balance, self-awareness, and boundaries. It's essential for individuals to check in with themselves regularly to ensure they're engaging in these activities for the right reasons. Your post serves as a valuable reminder of the importance of self-reflection and moderation.

The fun ends when your balance ends and if you used some money that you could not afford to lose that is even worse for you,you don't feel entertained at all while gambling or maybe just a little bit when you hit some occasional win during the bonus round as you feel at that time that maybe this time I will hit it big.

That is the problem with the world,prices are on the increase,inflation is sky high so people look at gambling as a possibility to make extra money nowadays more than a possibility to entertain themselves.

It's crucial to emphasize that responsible gambling practices should be promoted and followed regardless of one's social class. Problem gambling can affect individuals from all walks of life, and it's essential to approach gambling with caution, seek help when needed, and be aware of the potential consequences. Education and support for responsible gambling can benefit everyone, aiming to mitigate the negative impacts associated with gambling.

However, i don't think it's not only about social status that is the source of fun experience. For me it is the experience of winning. Who else enjoyed losing eh? So once you start losing over and over, you're getting angry, then you lose interest. That's for me when I slowly lose some fun.

I agree. Maybe in a period of opportunity or economic prosperity, the life of a gambler could be maintained. Now, and in the future, it might be an entirely different story. In fact, those who are somehow gambling beyond their means, with income, or even somehow using gambling as a form of income...they are all in for a shock.

If you are exceeding 10% of your available crypto/cash each time you gamble, I can tell you that you are gambling not just with your money, but your future. Now is the time that everyone around the world should be being protective over their wealth.

I agree with that and that's what people need to do when they do not seem to get the positivity of doing the things they want and it seems like all of their work is turning into negative vibes, they should not compromise themselves and just blindly follow their desire. they truly need a rest right now and consider looking for something that will cheer them up and make their life bright again even though it's a small thing to do, that would change their mood and will eventually make their lives positive again compared to force the lifestyles they shouldn't have acquired in the first place and make it hard for themselves every day.

Initially you may just have fun by enjoying online gambling games in your free time, but gambling will make players even more curious and addicted to continuing to play. The adrenaline rush of wanting to get Max Win is of course the next goal to get back the money that has been spent. Having fun is probably only 30%, the rest is for making more money.
The more money you spend while gambling, the greater your desire to get more money than you have spent. When the activity you do is only to earn some money, then the desire to have fun will become secondary.

Yes, I get entertainment from gambling especially when I can get big wins. Unfortunately, I rarely get big wins and can only win a small amount of money, perhaps more often than not just breaking even. But that's enough for me because I'm not after winning and just want to enjoy my time gambling.

If they only think about winning from gambling, they may not get a win but a loss. They can also experience gambling addiction because they only think about gambling instead of seeking pleasure from gambling. So it depends on each person's point of view how they treat gambling.

I know the feeling when even when I’m resting I can’t stop thinking about making money (in my country this is the norm haha), but if I’m relaxing and doing something interesting to me, then I’m relaxing. If an activity no longer brings me pleasure and relaxation, then I simply stop doing it. It’s not about thoughts about making money, but about the fact that you personally are tired of gambling. I think you need to find something else to do to relax.
As for those who get involved in gambling in order to make money, this has been written about many times - gambling is not for making money but for entertainment.

If you look at what is happening in the world today, it is true that things are getting more difficult and everyone wants to make money quickly, but gambling is not the answer, because gambling is not a place that can give you money all the time, why not work or trade that can make money Still, compared to gambling, why should you choose to gamble when the risk is much higher and it is easy to lose money in the end?

Actually, it's all about your mindset when you see gambling from what perspective, obviously it's fun for me personally when every weekday I spend time working and only have weekends to gamble just for fun, nothing more, I have a budget. limited so that it doesn't make me gamble too far and become addicted, when I lose, just think of me paying for something that pleases me, but if I win, why not withdraw it and enjoy it, but if you gamble, you look at it from the perspective of making money. that's wrong  ;)

Your response made me think about something deeper. There have always been drawbacks to online gambling. Yes, it is marketed as entertainment on the one hand. You can't deny, though, that quick money is appealing.

Not all of the folks who gamble are thrill-seekers. I witness people in a desperate attempt to close their financial deficits. For others, it's a Hail Mary; it's not entertainment. I have questioned whether the possible decline into addiction is worth the dopamine surge that follows a victory.

Who are they kidding when they say they're "just having fun," as many do? Most likely simply by themselves. Make money the main motivation, and that's a slippery slope, my friend. Taking a break is a lifeline as much as advice. But who's brave enough to take it?

Yes, your statement is very correct because it is in accordance with the current conditions of society, especially in an increasingly difficult economy, difficult jobs and rising prices of basic necessities, it is very clear and natural that most of them turn to something that looks instant like gambling, in my opinion this is the strongest reason why they go to casinos and why now gambling players are increasing and increasing in several countries. Obviously if we look at gambling it's really nothing but a place to have fun and not at all to make money, but I don't know and I think the potential or opportunity to get a lot of money instantly in gambling has completely made them like blind and not at all think about any risks that are there. I think the reason is as I said above and you also said that the world situation is not good now especially in the economy, I'm sure they want to get a job but now it's very difficult to get it and to start a business there may also be many obstacles. Yes I understand this will only worsen the situation but it only explains the logical cause why more and more people end up gambling. because yes, but the best thing is that you can avoid it because this is not a solution.

Yes, it's true, it all comes back to their own mindset, I hope they will understand about how real gambling is especially in the risks, don't let you see this as an opportunity or solution to fix your financial crisis, it will only cause a lot of problems, nothing more than that. So yes that is very true, I say you are a healthy and responsible gambler by only seeing gambling as a place to have fun and limit the budget when gambling on holidays to fill the time, so basically I like this mindset like you.

I am more inclined to believe that gambling is a habit from which a person receives a certain burst of adrenaline, without some of which it is already difficult for him to live. Once you win a large sum, it’s as if a person falls into a trap. People are all different, the one who is not subject to excitement will calmly receive his winnings and end the game. But the other one will want to repeat it again and again. It’s difficult for me to talk about the feeling that a person who has lost everything experiences, since I am not a gambler, but I would always like to understand such people at least a little. What takes hold of them is that they can lose everything and remain completely bankrupt. What's next? It’s good if there is a source of income that can be replenished, but if not. What then? Can something like this be called entertainment?

Yes. It's the different emotions that come out which is the big reason why it becomes more entertaining. The fun when you hit the big multi-win and the stressful losses that will make you mad.  :D

Still a yes. That's because I am not using too much money for it. Just enough for the entertainment purpose.

I won't be a hypocrite, of course, I want to win and that's the main purpose of gambling but I always try to just have fun when doing it. If the purpose of gambling is to double the money to pay for the bills and you are risking way too much that you can afford then we are taking out the fun part of it.
This is the reason why I changed my strategy in casino games, I am not pursuing small wins anymore and trying to hit that big jackpot which in my experience had already happened like 5 times, and at all those chances I made a withdrawal as fast as I could.

So you are coming up with the assumption that the gambling addicts aren't having fun, because they think about money? I can't agree.
AFAIK, gambling addicts are having fun while gambling. I have never seen a gambling addict, who looks and feels miserable, while he gambles.
Gambling is always fun, it doesn't matter if you are a moderate gambler or a hardcore addict. The problem is how do you control your gambling behavior and do you have any control whatsoever. Drug addiction is also fun, but the drug addicts don't realize that their life and their health condition is slowly turning into ruins.

Everything will go to addiction if you overthink to much on many things that hard to achieve especially a profit always on casino games. This can rise up our wants to do excessive gambling if we push to hard without thinking the consequences of the actions we do.
This is how addiction starts and I think this became normal when we are new but once we gain experience from facing those heart stopping lose for sure this could change addiction to be a careful betting stints.

The fun of gambling will disappear when you don't see it as a fun activity, when you start to see it as a way to make money you will hate the bad side of it. When you take gambling for the entertainment purpose, trust me you will find a way to quickly forget any bad encounter that you face. For instance, you earn $1000 a week as an average salary and then from that amount, you remove $50 from it to gamble for that week and you lose, some people may feel it depending on how heavy your bills are but how do you think it's going to feel if you use $500 from the weekly wages to bet, you will definitely feel the pain. In essence, gamble with what you can afford to lose, that is the only way you can see gambling being fun.

As for hardship, I think it would be absurd to think that gambling is an opportunity to make passive income to feed and pay bills. It is not a place to make money daily, anyone who depends on it to increase their income will end up disappointed at the end of the day. Look for a normal job to uplift your bills and treat gambling as it should.

Once you win big money, your mindset changes from wanting to have fun to trying to make money and we can't blame people, they feel they can repeat the process they feel they got the idea and the method and they have to do it and they have a chance to make money more than what they are earning on their work.

That is why there are people who play money more than they can't afford to lose because there's that hope that they can win big and it's only a matter of time before, they keep insisting that they are very near to winning the big amount so the fun stops and the challenge begin.

  

It's their own fault for thinking gambling isn't for fun and they shouldn't gamble at all, remember gambling is a choice and no one force anyone to gamble.

Fun in gambling will never stop, if it's stop usually it's because you've spend a lot time for gambling only for gambling, it's not mean you're an addict because you're gamble using amount you can afford to lose.

For gambling, usually, only two things are necessary, and they should be abundant - time and money. In every society, there are those who have this lucky combination so that they can enjoy gambling. But it's mostly an individual matter. For some, gambling will be fun and a form of entertainment even if they lose thousands of dollars a month, while for others, it will stop being fun after losing just a hundred dollars or less. But, I don't think gambling stops being fun if we start thinking about money. Entertainment usually costs money, and gambling is one of the few forms that can give you a chance to win.

It's because people finds gambling fun to do makes them to afford using their money to bet, we have a alrge number of gamblers who don't mind using any amount to gamble either they win or loose, for the sake of those that finds displeasure in not winning when they gamble, they maybe depends on it for their financial source or has something obligated on them for a win.


What could one be still waiting for anymore when gambling is no more fun to them, it is better not to gamble at all, also, some people would have engage on loan to use in gambling or misappropriate other people's finances in their care for gambling, knowing that they have nothing to fall back on, such people will definitely see gambling as frustration and not with fun as for that period.

Agree on this part especially when I’m on losing streak. Gambling supposed to be use as source of entertainment but it’s very to have fun if you experience a series of bad luck on gambling worst is losing big time.

Gambling is only fun activity if you are winning more than losing. It’s very hard to get entertainment or to be entertained whenever you are losing money since profit makes gambling exciting or else this is just a normal game that we download on play store or appstore that doesn’t involve money.

What will you think if you bet and you end up tripling your bet? You'll think that you are good at this and that easy money for you and you end up thinking about how to make money instead of having fun, this is where the fun stops and you start looking for methods and ways to make money in gambling, especially when you see people posting what they've earned through gambling, and you think that your chances are the same like these people.

The worst part of this is you cannot stop because your mind tells you that the winner never quits and while you're looking to make money from gambling you discover that you have fun while gambling you are more excited chasing money than looking to have fun, this is where addiction starts,  you have more fun trying to make money from gambling.

Can you, however, take away "money, money, money" from gambling? In general, you remove money away from gambling, it's not gambling anymore. That bet is exciting primarily because that could mean a bigger money. Whether we like it or not, the thing that makes gambling interesting is money, the prospect of making money in particular.

Although I certainly agree that gambling is a form of entertainment, money makes it so. Will you be playing hours and hours in casinos if their games don't involve money? I guess I wouldn't. Imagine yourself spending hours in that boring slot machine and it doesn't give you the chance of making money.

I only gamble for a little bit of fun, because I know that it is almost impossible to make money gambling. I think a good solution is to bet with little money when gambling. If you bet on average the cost of a cup of coffee per day, you won't get upset when you lose and you will continue to enjoy your betting habit. If you push your limits and bet more money than you can afford to lose, you will definitely lose in the end. I think everything is in our hands. That's why I don't have any prejudice against gambling.

I am also one of those who believes that gambling is a form of "entertainment" and should be treated as such.
Taking into account the odds of winning, wins that actually manage to change lifestyle are very rare (despite being advertised everywhere for a long time).

There is an excellent tool posted some time ago here on the forum that allowed you to calculate how long it would take to guess a win in powerball or similar games. The results are impressive  :o

Perhaps many people start gambling just for fun and when they get an initial win, they continue playing in the hope of winning again and feeling the same good feeling. However, when they lose, especially large losses, a cycle of compulsive gambling can begin.
And in contrast to those who have a lot of experience and enough time in gambling, maybe the reason they have fun is because gambling is not a place to make money. So the right choice to make money is to work or do business and also work or have side income. And gambling can be categorized as a side income while having fun with sufficient capital and is done in free time after stress due to work or other things, and there are also those who do it on weekends or when they have the urge to play.

And gambling for fun must be supported by finances obtained from work or other things, and also limited time. In contrast to those who do not have a fixed income and also have a lot of free time, perhaps gambling is considered to make money.

Back when I used to gamble away my digital skins in CSGO, I find it fairly entertaining despite losing. I used to  bet online by watching teams compete against each other and when the team that I have betted on won, I will now receive my fair share of profit at the end.

But when I was losing, my goal of simply enjoying converted to a goal of profiting. That is time when my enjoyment ceased as I viewed gambling as an activity primarily for profit rather than enjoyment.

In conclusion, if you view gambling as an activity primarily for enjoyment, then the chance of a person enjoying it is high. But if you view it as a money-making venture, then expect results that may let you feel otherwise.

At the moment gambling stops being an entertaining activity and starts becoming an obsession, it's a clear sign you should stop immediately, because your behavior regards the practice has turned into disfunctional, consequently prejudicing every other aspects of your organism which should be in complete balance to guarantee your homeostasis. Without homeostasis there isn't life quality and progression of goals, achievements and aspirations. It's like living, or surviving, like a slave of a compulsion.

If you feel it's hard to quit, ask for the help of someone you trust very much or a professional. You don't have to face such a hard task by yourself. There are many people willing to support and see you overcoming your personal challenges. Show yourself and show them you are able to!

Some people want to make money and choose gambling as their place. Instead of making money, they end up losing, and if that happens, they will encounter problems one by one, and many of them end up addicted to gambling. But if there are people who can have fun from gambling and not experience any problems, they can indeed use gambling as entertainment. They don't think about making money from gambling because they would rather look for it from other, more promising places.

As someone who still gambles frequently, I use gambling as entertainment and try not to gamble excessively even though I feel I still have much to learn to control myself. But that's normal because sometimes we are at the bottom, so we can't control ourselves well. And I continue to try to control myself well.

Yes, you can play for fun, which 99.9% of the time is when you play with a small amount of money (like losing it won't be a big deal). But after you start to get a grip on the game, the mistake then is that you'll deposit more, and it will erase any fun part of gambling. You'll start to play for money and for the adrenaline rush... well it's the go big or go home kind of thing. It's then fun ONLY if you win, compared to the previous case when you experience fun even though you're losing.

We need to know beforehand that pleasure in the form of gambling entertainment cannot be separated from what we get. Let's just be realistic, before we play a game in a gambling session, the main thing we need is capital. with money, we can play various types of this entertainment.

However, it is worth remembering that this form of entertainment contains risks. the most common risk, we lose in a gambling session and the serious risk, we become a gambling addict. to prevent things you don't want, especially becoming a gambling addict. It is important to instill in our minds that we only play for entertainment and fun, and know all the risk consequences involved in it.

If we play and hope to win rewards from a gambling session, isn't that a very natural thing?  because as I said at the beginning, for us to be able to play gambling we need funds or money as a medium for playing it. So, I want to be realistic, in every gambling I do, it would be natural for me to expect results or wins. well, when the fun stops. that means, the gambling sessions we play are no longer enjoyable. At that point, we can choose to stop the game because it is no longer fun.

If someone only focuses on money and every action he takes is to try to get more monet, wouldn't you say that there are already some issues before he starts with gambling? Gambling is just one way to try and satisfy his urge for money, becoming a workaholic and focusing on his job 24/7 would be another issue. The same goes for buying risky investments to try and get the highest possible return, falling for risky insurance schemes or trying to create a side hustle. There are so many different ways people could try and get more money, gambling is just one of it and we can't blame the system for it. The big issue is that there can't be a risky way to get everybody rich quickly, because then would money be worthless. People who only to into gambling for making money will eventually get hurt.

As far as I know, the character of someone who is involved in the world of gambling varies, I might have to agree with what you believe, money, But I also have to admit to those who only gamble for fun and as entertainment, they don't really care about money, the important thing is that they can let go of their boredom in gambling.

But basically everyone gambles because they want to make a lot of money without having to work hard, that is a principle that everyone experiences, but there are also those who have the principle that it is just entertainment for them to gamble, but we don't find too many people like that, but there are people like that, they really bet on certain games to relieve the burden on their brains. Winning and losing is not the main thing for them, The point is: whatever the reason someone gambles, I have to respect them, because humans have different principles in every activity they do.

And you're a funny guy.:) Who told you that online gambling platforms exist to bring you lucky winnings? You are completely wrong. All casinos are created to enrich their owners - that’s the truth. For them, gamblers are a bargaining chip and neither their winnings nor the achievement of forms of pleasure are of any interest to casino owners.

You're wrong again. Everything becomes simpler and more easily accessible. What modern man has was an unattainable dream for everyone 100 years ago.

What problems might there be: don’t think about how to earn more and have fun. Your life - spend it as you please.

Any entertainment entertains and gives pleasure only up to a certain point. A simple rule: if you don't like it, don't play. What prevents you from stopping if you feel that gambling is not enjoyable.

This is what people go to the casino for in the first place: money, money, money, and entertainment is a secondary bonus.

Yes. A gambler can reason out that he's for gambling and entertainment but someone can also admit that he's literally doing it for fun. But regardless of the answer, it is for sure that we're getting the entertainment value as we gamble.

Yup, we've got our own ways to satisfy ourselves and I can say that it's definitely entertaining. Whether I lose or win, you can choose your own happiness from those scenarios but of course, it's a painful entertainment when we're losing.

I agree, when you're not having and it's a disaster that you're just getting for this day and you've been incurring a lot of lose so you're basically on a losing streak. It's best to stop and give yourself a break.

Personally, gambling became entertaining to me the moment I started gambling with only the money I don't have urgent needs for. Before then, it was really a serious painful venture for me because I was practically playing with funds I would have used  for urgent needs. I don't know if I will call it addition that was propelling me then and due to how curious I was to win, I end up loosing more amidst excruciating pains.

As of now, I am not desperate to win because I plan ahead of time and I also don't play regularly... only when I see something convincing with high probability of success. Funny enough, I win more now than ever and I am a kind of enjoying the fun.


If you want to succeed in gambling, get other sources of income to cover for the immediate needs because gambling can mess one up if relied upon as the only source of income. This is from my experience and I know a lot of people are already going through "that circle of doom". Let gambling be just another stream of income; that is how to make it big. There can be exception to this but they are few.

Winning triggers excessive gambling in most gamblers. When a gambler wins, he'll think of doing it multiple times and if losses increases, the winning of others can influence a losing gambler to continue staking funds. And not all gamblers are coached to gamble responsibly. Their fun depends on the gambling result; win or lose. Because the winning goes back into gambling the fun diminishes gradually. Their wins don't shape their life positively, but their minds keeps telling them that gambling is the right path to follow. And in the society today, with difficulties and expensive produces, friends and family care to help their wards stop gambling addiction. Causing anger on the side of the gambler, even while he gambles. The fun goes, money brings it back then the money goes. Seasonal fun is not complete, and only those who focus on the gambled money get such fun. Professional gamblers may have constant joy, because it doesn't affect their entire wealth. While gamblers, who stake all their money into gambling will stay sad or addicted in gambling.

You obviously won't be entertained when you lose money and when you lose all your capital, that's when the fun stops.

For the users in the forum who promote casinos, taking a break would mean losing opportunities as well. There is more to continuously playing than taking a break. For me, I think I'm about to make a big win and I can also feel there will be a sharp spike in prices, the economy will get better so it's a happy times already.

That is very correct. Because if you have the money not for your gambling, you will be agitated to recover it if you lost it.
So you will be happy with your games if you feel you are not tied up to any debt or of that sort afterwards.
Also, just bet in sports if you really know the sports well so you have the edge of knowing the sports as well as the athletes involved.
For me, I feel satisfied if I bet on the team or the athlete that I really know of. As I have better knowledge of their capabilities or skills.
The fun stops if you are already using funds beyond what you are allocating with your gambling activities and you are already consuming some from your bills and other expenses, and there's no light of recovering it.

I agree yes to take a break allows your brain and mindset to reset  properly so that you can think straight and not just to act on the impulse and drive to always win. Having that mindset always make us to make silly gambling mistakes. Like some gamblers I know do complain sometimes of ignorantly including a game that they didn't intend to bet in their slip and most times the game is the one pulling them down. To take a break helps to calm the brain and you get to think straight after being refreshed. Taking a break is not just for 24 hours, it could be for a week or two on a vacation.

I also do the same thing, and it's an effective solution to break the pattern if you can make plans for yourself, so I agree. Sometimes it's not about the money, they could be unaware of how terrible their decision can be until they start losing all the money in their account. They'll assume it's easy to win back what they lost, but that's only the if part, it's never guaranteed unless you're playing with promotions that could secure you some profits. It usually goes the other way because they overestimate their luck and dig themself into a deeper hole.

Gambling is fun as it relieved one from stress after a long week at work. I do gamble with my friends and I don't let it sink into my head so that I don't see gambling the other way round which to make profit. I know that the economy is hard buy bringing out a few bucks for fun is worth it.

Sometimes we need to entertain ourselves so that we can enjoy part of our earnings and it is not by using it to buy eatable stuffs alone but you can go on a picnic or go clubbing and so on, this is how you can also entertain yourself with gambling. Though, everybody have different ways of entertaining ourselves. It is when you see gambling as a means of making profit that it becomes a problem

I completely agree with you, a well thought out post actually, it is very important for every one of us to know and note that, the fact that things are becoming harder does not, and will never change what has been the number one rule of gambling, and that is that, gambling is purely for entertainment purposes and one should never gamble with funds they can't afford to lose..

I made this personal vow to myself that I will stop gambling the day gambling stops being fun for me, so in much as gambling offers us the opportunity to likely make someone, we should never allow our minds drift away from the sole reason why gambling is established, or should I say; created .

Life is getting difficult now because of expensive needs that you need to buy but playing gambling not on a daily basis like only for a week or biweekly can make you stress-free meaning you are still entertained by doing gambling but if your goal in gambling is to win big that is the time that people get addicted to it because their reason is that they want to gamble more to earn money but it turns out it costs them addiction.

There are also others who stop gambling because they don't have spare money to do it because of their needs in life. This kind of gambler always prioritizes their needs first so if they will be back gambling in the future they won't get addicted to gambling as they are able to control themselves. We should always have control no matter what because gambling will control us if we don't and we should always gamble for fun and not for profit.

For me online gambling is a form of entertainment and I'd never get addicted to it because I know how to control myself. It's always enjoyable to gamble alone or even with my friends. I don't wager a lot so I don't actually lose much. :)

That's true, a lot of gamblers when you're talking to them about gambling the only thing they're thinking about is money, as you said. They set goals to make money through gambling, which is in my opinion not advisable since gambling is so unpredictable. You can't ensure that you're making a profit from it because it's not guaranteed and at any time you could lose a lot of money if you're unlucky.

The word entertainment in gambling describes different thing.  Others are entertain with the games while others are entertained because of the thought of winning big, while others are entertained trying their strategy being effective.  So entertainment in gambling is a matter of what purpose does we have in gambling.  If this purpose is met then sure gambling will always be entertaining.

And just like the earlier reply, entertainment in gambling stops when we have depleted our bankroll because we won't be able to wager anymore.



These people who feel no fun in gambling should have stopped a long time ago.  but if they still gamble then I can say, they are still having some fun.  If they still gamble looking for fun and yet to find it, I am sure they will stop eventually.

Gambling is much connected with fun and getting entertained. Will this be happening with the gamblers in reality. Maybe this can happen with the gamblers for whom money is not at all a big thing, as he holds big bags of money. For people like you and me, gambling could be fun to some extent, beyond that mind always looks for some profit. This is the real expectation, and when we look for money we're at the risk. Because, we start to spend beyond our ability. Fun stops when we consider gambling as a way to make money.

Getting wins and profits in gambling is a big hope for everyone involved in gambling. This is a hope but not a goal. And I think that gambling is all about fun. Because when I think otherwise that gambling is about profit then what will happen is that I won't be able to enjoy the gambling that I do at all, especially when I lose, what happens is that I will be frustrated by that defeat. And I agree with this, when our gambling activities start to get out of control and only bring emotions when playing, then the best step we have to take is to stop for a moment the gambling activities we do. And later we can return to gambling if our emotions have calmed down and we have gained control over ourselves.

While gambling platforms and casinos meant to generate money for their owners, employees, and investors, gamblers engage in gambling as if it were a vendor and buyer relationship. Where the casino provides games, and gamblers spend their money to play and bothparts knows well that the odds are in casino’s favor.
What creates that sense of excitement during gambling is the gains and the adrenaline rush of winning even when someone experiences much losses while winning small amounts your brain can trick you to gamble more in order to get that same feeling, and that’s why I think that money you will be spending is just a tool to feel good and reach that dopamine.
The main problem here is when someone becomes addicted to gambling meaning that he will be risking his financial stability and personal wealth without noticing. This addiction can be compared to drugs or alcohol abuse which they also leas to financial losses, mental issues and irresponsibility.

There have been some cases within the Bitcointalk forum where some known and legit users turned to scammers by stealing other users money because of gambling addiction, to a point where someone is ready to lose everything he built in years for some dopamine moments that won’t last much. So yes I agree with you, if there’s no fun in gambling it becomes addictive and ruins everything.

The gambling entertainment was never stop,it only happen at the time of losing all the money.Mostly the gamblers will get more experience and get their money savings some on the full capital.This help the gambler to make the next game in the gambling,So at some point he will get recover their loss.So my opinion the gambling loss will not happen in the gambling,some miracle will happen in the gambling.If the gambler had stop the gambling after some loss,it will be the loss for them in some point.

That is what I'm currently doing right now. I've been exposed to gambling since I was an addict and there are games that are used to be fun and now it's quite boring even I know how to play the game and I can possibly earn money in that game. I only play occasionally nowadays and most of my gambling sessions are for past time and fun purposes only, not for the sake of money anymore. I can control my spending even I only play sometimes because I have a allocated budget for it. If you are not having fun, take a break and slow down your gambling activities. Learn new hobbies or interest, there's a chance that you can completely stop from doing gambling.

For us, gambling is fun as long as we are making money out of it. How many times we have seen that we go to a physical casino or sit in front of our system, to play at an online casino and we are so much enthusiastic and hopeful to gamble. As long as we are winning the games we feel happy but as soon as we start to lose the games, our mood changes instantly.

We cannot remain happy because we lose money in gambling. Money is important for middle class people like us and we cannot afford to lose money. So for us, it is actually the money which keeps us happy in gambling.

Maybe we should accept it this way that when the fun stops then you pause your gambling and take a look out on the possible cause, there's no way we can gamble and netlect the fun in it, just as money is required to stake a bet in gambling, we also needs money to fuel and desire and taste to longer more for gambling, this has to come to the full realization of every gambler in knowing that it's all about bfun and friendliness why we gamble, we have to do these willingly and not by compellation, and we don't have to consider winning or losing before having fun in gambling.

I used to think that gambling is extremely entertaining, but that viewpoint has changed now. I still think that gambling is fun, though not as intense as I thought it was before. Life happened, things changed, and there are other activities that are more fun now compared to gambling. I think this is also the case for other people who have outgrown gambling and has since moved on to other things. Also, once you realize that gambling is slowly taking a toll on a lot of things in your life, you'll change how you view gambling. You'll start to realize that it's doing more harm than good to you and eventually, you'll stop.

Nowadays people will be more attracted to gambling because people have chosen gambling as their leisure time nowadays. People who are addicted to gambling spend all their time on gambling because of their greed. When you limit your balance, gambling becomes less attractive and less fun. I myself am addicted to gambling but have never overdosed which is why I enjoy gambling to some extent. Those who are addicted to gambling for money are more prone to losses. Sometimes I get bored with gambling when I start losing money, and feel great when it starts to accumulate again. I think it's natural to be a little upset about gambling these days when people are busy trying to make money with the skyrocketing prices of things.

No?  When one limit his balance he is just being a responsible gambler.  Gambling does not become less attractive or less fun, the gambler is just moderating his gambling activity to ensure that it won't affect him negatively.  If one become a responsible gambler, gambling does not becomes less attractive and less fun.  And I believe that the fun will stay since the gambler who moderate his gambling activity is not overly exposed to the game making it boring for him.



If you are still in control you are not addicted to gambling :) You just love gambling but not addicted to it.


I certainly agree that gambling addicts are prone to money losses because they had lost their self-control.

What do you think has changed about gambling itself? It's our situations and the times that keep changing but that doesn't really change the purpose of gambling, and it totally depends on one's own mindset regarding gambling and whether it will be fun for them or not. If you have always seen gambling as a way to earn money and profits, you can never get entertained by it because your mind and eyes will always just be looking for big wins.

But, if you have never thought of gambling as a way to earn money and you already have money and you just need some entertainment and just want to play some games and have some fun, then you will not find gambling not fun anymore because it is still the same thing if your mindset hasn't changed.

We can get upset when we lose consistently in gambling and that is natural feeling for most gambler but we don't have to focus our income to be from gambling and now want to meet up our daily expenses through gambling, it is not proper because it will lead us into pressure and get us to over stake and continue to play even when we are losing.  The economic is difficult to survive in most countries but we don't have to rely on gambling to meet up our needs, we will end up in debt because the pressure will cause lose of focus.

Gambling has become commonplace and can be accessed easily at any time and at any time. There are even more types of gambling games, but I still like slot gambling. Those who are greedy and become gambling addicts have a disturbed mentality and cannot be directed, they just want to gamble and continue to gamble and spend their money on jackpots that have never been obtained. There must be complete self-control so as not to indulge in dangerous gambling and become an addict like that. Everyone must have limits where they have to stop gambling and limit the amount of money they use for gambling, if without these limits gambling will only bring them losses, not the main goal of entertainment.

For me it's not just fun but more of an excitement. I feel that even if I bet $10, it doesn't have to be a lot and I get this tingling sensation, the adrenaline rush when the event is coming to an end and I've bet on the winning team. I don't need to win a lot of money, it's the waiting for the result and getting the euphoria of winning, being right that gets the thing done. Sometimes I bet against the fighters or teams that I like so that I feel happy regardless of the outcome. If my team wins, I'm happy for them, if they lose, I get the consolidation prize in the form of money.

I think it's really unhealthy if you aremt getting entertainment from it.  When you bet on a sporting game it adds something to the game that wouldn't be there if you didn't care about the outcome.  Once you stop getting entertained I think that is where the addiction comes in.  Some people feel the need to bet, that's when it's time to get help.

You're very spot on. This reminds me of a movie I once watched, a very wealthy man had placed a bet on his horse to outrun his friends horse. At the end of the race, the friend won and the wealthy man put down his horse. The friend became furious and asked him why he killed the horse, he just smiled and said I'll get another one, not minding the cost of getting another horse.

So gambling could be fun for the elites who can be unperturbed by the number of losses they suffer because they've very deep pockets, but for me and you it's strictly business. We see gambling as a source of income, we hustle for wins that we become broke and sometimes it costs us our relationships.

When I try to bet on live gambling platforms or try slot games, I can switch to the demo account and enjoy myself. I don't need to make a deposit in return for this and they actually give us the opportunity to try myself as if I were depositing real money.
The person who loses money cannot get enough pleasure and entertainment from here. For a person, having fun is all about the gain he will get from here. Of course, some may say that I satisfy myself even if I lose by playing with low sums, we cannot say anything to this.

I had moments when the fun stopped for me.

I guess we all have that moment of realization sooner or later, like in my case it was when I was trying to martingale and got 14 losses in a row that wiped out my balance.
Another time I went to a physical casino with friends and the fun stopped because I run out of chips and had to stop playing early on and had to watch my friends having their fun for another hour :D

While it's surprising to see someone like you shift from addiction to occasional fun, I must give credit where it's due. So, clap, clap. Yes, games lose their appeal, but remember: the house always wins. You might want to pat yourself on the back for having a budget now, but let's be real, even occasional gambling can slip back into addiction. Ditch the games and find better hobbies. After all, wouldn't you prefer a hobby that's actually, I don't know, enriching?  ::)

Yes. Imo the only reason people tend to remove entertainment from gambling si when they try to actively earn money from it. Earning money is yes, the goal of gambling, but it isn't the end imo, it's just the means. If you get it nice, you get to spend more money somewhere else, if not then it's fine as well. The idea is it's kind of dumb to even think about how you would consider money that wasn't yours in the first place to be money lost.

Additionally, if I had money issues, I wouldn't be gambling in the first place. Gambling, just like most other stuff that can entertain you, needs money to be able to do its job properly. If you don't have one, then just don't do it. Easier said than done though I suppose.

I don't even consider those set of people that wager away funds just for pleasure as serious set of people....not at all!! I personally believe that doesn't happen anyways cus who TF does that?? What's Thier source of income?? Of what benefit is it to gamble with purpose?...
I believe everyone - at some point - would wanna stop and have a rethink on whatever they do with Thier moneys...or better still, those set of peeps that claim to derive pleasure from gambling are usually the unfortunate ones... That's the claim.

Since decades ago, people have always had some problem in their lives, which is why they try to do other activities that allow them to forget their problems, even if only for a short period of time, but we have to see that the biggest problem that people have Currently, it is always related to money that is not enough to pay the bills. So when a person takes $50 and goes to the beach with friends and spends all the money, even though the next day he is sad, regretting having spent money that was supposed to pay bills and going to the beach with friends, after a few days he I forgot about that

but when people take money, for example they take 50$ and play in a casino and lose everything in the casino, then the next day the person is sad and regretful but you will spend many days thinking that if you were luckier you would have won, if you had more money would have won and after spending days with this thought the person will put money back into the casino and will lose again and the cycle begins of the person chasing money they lost. This person will start playing to recover everything they lost and will lose everything. That's why it's very important that people are very careful when they play and think about why they're playing

The derivation of entertainment or fun in whatever word you may call it  from gambling is akin to the elite class of gamblers. The class a gambler founds himself in society is a determinant of what hey look forward to  get from gambling.

The poor will argue that fun in gambling will not put food on his table, and there's wisdom in that, because in his scale of preference entertainment is not even in the least, counting the responsibility he bears.

So the choice of what people want from gambling has so much to do with their social class in society. For some it's the money, to another it's entertainment while the other may be going for both entertainment and the money.


I disagree. I see no greater good in that but deprivation.

In my opinion there is a fundamental difference between the two. Hanging out and enjoying something around us with $50 has satisfaction when using it. Therefore, we will easily forget it, because we got something as a return.
Someone who uses $50 will find it very difficult to forget because they don't just think "this is for entertainment to forget the problems in life". But, when he saw that other people were able to win, he felt differently and started to think to try again, until finally he became addicted. That is the reason why people forget their original goal of fun and entertainment, becoming addicted to betting and gambling. When he get any return, he want more, but if they not get any return, he will play again for win a return.That's what makes it difficult for someone to control themselves. Because the returns cannot be in line with the initial target. That's why most (including me) fall into things like this.

Agreed. Some people view gambling as a serious endeavor, one that should yield financial gains. Others see it as a trivial, light-hearted activity meant to fill idle moments with laughter among friends.

Indeed, gambling heavily depends on an individual's financial situation. Those with passive income and a strong work ethic are typically unwilling to spend significant sums on gambling. They tend to allocate a modest amount for playing with friends and having fun.

In contrast, individuals with less financial stability may not fully comprehend the risks of gambling or may not fully understand the workings of gambling platforms. They often harbor a misplaced confidence that gambling will bring them wealth.

I'm not particularly fond of those who try to achieve success through gambling. They tend to endure numerous losses and continually chase elusive big wins.

In my case I do because I only gamble occasionally, with money I can afford to lose and I don't put false hopes on it (like expecting my life to change because of jackpots).

The problem is that many of the stories we see on the forum do start from having false hopes in gambling, and end up worse than they started. The preoccupation with making money, instead of entertainment, leads them to lose money, sometimes a lot of money and sometimes even borrowed one. There is nothing fun or entertaining about it, it becomes a drama.

Depending on the circumstances, some say that gambling is entertainment, a source of income, or a path to their wealth. However, for most people, gambling is entertainment where they can play and escape their busy lives for a moment. Especially in casinos, there people can not only play but also interact with their friends or other people. So it depends on the player whether they consider gambling as entertainment or their job, but most people would agree that gambling is entertainment for them even though most people might end up losing.

Yes, it make someone happy whenever you have the money  to gamble at your satisfaction and you have some profits that you will take home to enjoy yourself for the day. Online gambling has helped many gamblers to overcome the hardship in their various countries because they have made a huge amount of money from their prediction that can help them to get whatever they want just to feel good or live a happy life which is the wish of every gamblers in the community. Even when you lose at the moment, you will still like to gamble another day just to recover from what you have loss in the past without be addicted to gambling.

One of the reasons why we play gambling is the desire to get not only results but also emotions. And emotions. And emotions are chemistry - dopamine and serotonin. And nature is so arranged that if we constantly get good emotions from one hobby, then we need more and more to experience the same measure of fun.
Therefore, for many gamblers, the fun very quickly flows into an automatic process with attempts to get only the result.
 
Therefore, it is necessary to observe two rules - to play knowing the measure, and not uncontrollably. And also try new games from time to time - variety gives new emotions.

Gambling can indeed be entertaining, especially if you are already wealthy and you can afford to lose a large amount of money. For a large percentage of gamblers, perhaps even a majority, their purpose for gambling is because they dream of getting that big win that can make their life easier. If you are no longer getting any entertainment value then it is worth considering quitting to prevent this from becoming a destructive habit. At the very least you should step back and analyze the best way to allocate your resources.

Fun can not be separated from gambling no matter the outcome of your bet. Either you lose your game or you win, you're entertain in either way. The difference is that the entertainment is not always view in the same angle when your gamble goes opposite. It is just that sometimes when we lose bet, we overlooked the entertainment aspect of gambling and be thinking over the money we lose but it's undeniable that entertainment is not completely there but we care less about it when the money is gone.

The comparison of influential gamblers and the average gamblers is not worth because the former have enough money to not worry about the one they gamble with while the latter have less and that's why they feel lost when they lose the money but it doesn't mean the entertainment is not more, just that for them the entertainment is mixed with agony and of course the agony overshadow the entertainment.

When I'm in a good mood, I usually enjoy the game and play casually, only playing with small bet. However, if the losses continue to occur, sometimes I get emotional and start increasing the bet. Actually in this situation I no longer enjoy the game, I am motivated to return my lost money


Yes I agree with you. At the point where we have a lot of emotions from losing and don't enjoy the game anymore, it is better to stop gambling than to lose more money. In my opinion we need to control our emotions, if gambling is done with emotion and anger it is just a waste of money, and it is not fun that we get but stress because we lose lot of money on gambling sites. Better stop and you will get better

The feeling is very different while watching the sports that you've bet on you have the thrill and nervousness of watching the game live compared to not having a bet on it. I am not also after big wins as I am a small sportsbettor and I only bet whenever I want because I feel the tension over the game even if I am just watching on my TV. We are just after the fun and not for the profit we are gaining but still we are happy if we win some money but it is not about winning the money it is about the fun we experience.

I had some good fun when I started gambling at Stake.com a few years ago, because they had a pretty good RTP and I regularly won small enough jackpots to fund my entertainment. Since they signed multi Million Dollar deals with paid streamers and Soccer clubs and UFC fighters and celebrities like Drake.... the RTP has changed a lot and players are winning much less.

It is not fun, when you deposit $1000 and you sit in front of your computer and you watch it going down the drain. Yes, you still win very small amounts, but nothing as huge as you used to win.

It is entertaining, when you deposit say $100 and you can play for say an hour ....but lately $100 will not last you 10 or 20 minutes, because it is just one long losing streak.  ::)

That is if someone gambles with the aim of having fun so they don't care about the end result the most important thing is to play and have fun even though they might lose some money and this will be very different when someone gambles with the aim of making money or making gambling a second place to look for a clear source of income will regret and feel very angry when they lose.
Remember that everything depends on our perspective and goals in entering gambling.

I don't know what you mean by influential gamblers because in my opinion all gamblers are the same and the only difference is the financial system or how to manage finances in gambling.
You have a lot of money and gamble to get some profit, then whatever money you have will definitely run out without any left and you won't get the slightest satisfaction from what you do but when you have limited money and think about how to have fun then luck could come and double your money even when the money is lost you still feel satisfied and very happy because you can play several game sessions.

Becoming emotional because of losing in gambling will be there. But with self-control, I think we can reduce emotional behavior and not waste excessively by gambling. We will always be careful about spending money on gambling and can stop before losing a lot of money because it can make someone stressed. When they have good self-control, they don't need to worry about the temptations they will encounter and can enjoy gambling because they will treat gambling as entertainment. When they feel that the fun has stopped, it is time for them to leave the casino and move on to something else so they don't think about gambling anymore.

Well, just burned +$80 on slots... I played less than 20 minutes, a few bonus rounds paid x10 max, and some big wins were higher than what I won from bonus rounds. But those long-losing streaks simply melted my amount... I stopped playing slots and I placed some sports bets with a few dollars left. Maybe I will have more luck with goals today.

It's entertaining as long as we play with money we can afford to lose... I like to play slots, but I know how cruel slots can be (and some other lucky-based games), so even though I hope to hit something big I am aware that I can easily bust my amount in minutes, literally. Especially if I get into "buying bonuses" mode!

It's totally about ones mindset, and this mindset can put people in trouble, it's a mindset when you believe that you can make a living with gambling, it's a mindset when you believe that you can earn weekly income with gambling, it's a mindset when you believe that you can turn into a millionaire with gambling, imagine getting punished by your own mindset and believe.

We need to be careful with the mindset we create on things or what we choose to believe in, what we choose to believe in can take our rise to our fall, gambling isn't something anyone should have a belief in, or try to create some kind of mindset around.

I'd rather create a mindset on money making through investments and goals than luck, it's fun to place bets on football games because I am a supporter of a favorite club and that's it, maybe we will win or lose, No one knows, it's better to keep it like this, because no one knows.

Gambling is entertaining, but loss can outweigh the "fun" component. If you're going to gamble, do it for the fun of it and not the money. But that's easier said than done, right? Especially when money is involved. Remembering why you started gambling is crucial. Was it just for fun? Was it for profit? There's a reason why "responsible gambling" is a frequently echoed term. Setting limitations, recognizing probability, and mentally preparing for any outcome are key. Whether a high roller or a recreational player, be fun, but wise

The reward system of the brain get rewired to get pleasure from the gambling rush. Same happens in games and drugs which become a habit. Thing is that people need to seek help in such cases before things get out of hand and the victim is rarely the first person to recognise this but the near and dear ones are.

Once a person feels that the fun has stopped they look for more games or put in more money, try to recover the lost money and the cycle continues. The reason behind this is that we have difficulty in accepting our loss and moving on from it.

Inflation and a high rate of unemployment are affecting the finances of many gamblers. People now want to survive and much attention is not given to entertainment. Most people don't have extra funds they could use in casinos to enjoy what they like doing. We all hope that things will change in the future.
The mistake some gamblers make is to see gambling as a source of income. If you are facing financial problems, you have to seek for alternative way to make additional income and not rely on gambling. Seeing gambling as a source of income is the main cause of frustration and gambling addiction. If you don't have extra money to gamble, look for other means of entertainment until your income improves.

Your review is very accurate my friend, I think that although initially they came with the intention of just having fun, but I would not fully believe in it, because it is very likely that it is just a nonsense, it is not uncommon to find some of them who violate what they have planned before. So it's very appropriate that I would also say that "it's easier said than done", that's a fact that happens friends.

That's right, it's not gambling if it doesn't involve money or anything valuable in it which in fact is the goal of almost everyone why they come there, so I think it's very likely that the average of them (gamblers) who come only to get that win, who doesn't need money? everyone wants money, but there are two choices, namely to seek income or seek pleasure, and I'm sure only a few percent of them choose to seek pleasure, if they really seek pleasure only then it is unlikely that now many are down because of the many defeats there, so I think their first words are just nonsense if indeed in time they also have the wrong mindset or violate what they have said at the beginning. Yes that's right, there is nothing better than applying a lot of restrictions there, they must be quick to change that wrong mindset.

Really depends, if you play responsible, I mean the money that you burned is just for having fun and entertainment then nothing's wrong with it. You set your priority first before you gamble.


Then that is the opposite case that I mentioned, those people or gamblers who look for it to make money, bring food in the table, pay off their debts, then it's not going to be fun with them since they are chasing something and it could really stress them out in the long run. That's it's very important to get control of ourselves, and if we think that gambling is taking our lives then we have to stop. It should not be a job, as everything is based on luck.

Of course, friend, it cannot be denied that emotional feelings will arise when someone experiences defeat, and it depends on how we accept it wisely or perhaps the regret we feel. Having self-control will probably reduce a person's gambling and he will not feel regret if one day he loses because he can control his finances when gambling because the bets are small.

First of all, most people here know that not all gamblers gamble just for fun; most of them play because they are involved in getting a lot of winnings for a small amount that will turn out to be a large amount in the end. In short, some think it is a good source of income.

There are others who gamble because they have an addiction to it, something they can't avoid doing every day. Now, there are others who do it just for entertainment or to pass the time, and there are also others who do it because, for them, winning or losing is a stress reliever. So I can say that gambling for me is really just entertainment because I am entertained even if I lose.

This is how I treated gambling whenever I decide to play in it.  ;)

Gambling isnt a game of skill, and anyone trying to peddle that is straight-up lying. The moment someone thinks they can systematically profit off gambling, they're setting themselves up for disaster. The house always has the edge, and the chances are always skewed against the player.

Beliefs can uplift us, but they can also be our worst enemy. Especially when it comes to gambling. No lying here - trying to make a consistent income out of gambling is not just naive, its reckless. Like you said, why stake your future on something as volatile and unpredictable as gambling when you can be strategic about investments? Its just common sense.

It's true what you said, placing a bet can give you more sensation when watching a match, especially a football match. And the sensation that is given is not only at the end of the match as a determinant of the bets I make, but I get this sensation from the start of the match to the end of the match. And I can even scream hysterically if I watch it and place bets together with my friends.
Likewise, what I often do is make small bets, but occasionally I also like to place large bets. And when making a big bet, I prefer to watch the match live by going to the stadium where the match takes place so that the sensation I get is even greater.

I think OP makes a good point that if you are gambling just for money, you are going to be regularly disappointed. Casinos are basically arcades for adults. Imagine being a kid and getting angry that you have less money than you had when you entered an arcade. It’s got to be about fun or else you’re statistically almost certain to have a bad time.

I am, honestly.

But that is because I only bet very small amounts of money unlike most of you lunatics  :P  ::)

What people need to do before going into an online gambling casino is to first assess their financial situation and use max. 10% of their disposable income in a month to gamble. Divide that number up by the number of days in the month and you have yourself daily gambling funds. Do not become tempted into using more of the funds than the established daily gambling funds. Hold on to some discipline and if you do not have any discipline then do not gamble in the first place.

I see no fun in gambling large amounts of money in hopes of winning "the big one".

Depends on your mindset; if you view gambling activities as a shortcut to success then it’ll not be surprising to know that you are stressing everytime you bet your money in any game of your interest. Ofcourse everyone wants to earn profit from gambling but to rely too much on it is a different thing. Been into heated bets before wherein I did bet $500 every two days in gambling.That was my previous way of thinking but as I’ve learned things the hard way, it gave me an idea that profit will only be there once you learned managing the amounts you can endure losing in a single day or week. Enjoy the game especially if it really fits your interest such as with sportsgambling. Profit won’t come in an instant so you better be patient as well. However, if you would be prioritizing to enjoy the game, then profit will eventually follow. Sometimes the best mindset is to minimize the amount you could bet and lose than to force winning things out.

The fun stops when a gambler starts to realize the amount of money and time they have spent in gambling and what they could have done with all that money instead. There comes the fact that it is bad both to chase losses and also keep track of those losses (even though one is not necessarily chasing them anymore).

The happy gambler is one who forgets and forgives, who does not have any emotional need to count of lost money and the "what if" of their gambling sessions.

It is said that gambling is a hobby or an activity which can be partaken by people of all social classes, but I would personally never incite anyone who cannot afford to pay for entertainment, to venture themselves in gambling.

In this concept I can understand that gamblers must know when is the right time to stop and that is the answer when the state of mind is emotional or feels unlucky, it would be better to stop the gambling session and come back again after everything is fine.
It is normal for gamblers to feel emotional when they experience a losing streak, but for all this it is not good if we are forced to continue betting because if we do not have good emotional control, usually in conditions like this, gamblers will continue to bet, even betting their entire balance with just one bet. when you feel hopeless.
This scenario can encourage a gambler to become addicted because he cannot understand the time to stop gambling for a while so it would be better if gamblers who have not yet become addicted gamblers would better immediately understand how to avoid this bad condition.

This can be very annoying especially when we have tried for many times to make sure that we look for how we can better our lives in gambling but after so many years of playing bets, there is still to story to write home about. Gambling is interesting to those that had been making consistent profits from the market and we need to make sure that we do the right thing before we we ever think of gambling like those that have the wealth and means to gamble anyhow they like. Gambling need to be more of patience but at the same time, we need to develop ourselves as quickly as possible.

People get their kicks from anything. Some love golfing, some love racecar driving, and some find catharsis and relief from collecting mugs. These are all excessive lifestyles and hobby choices and yet we don't condemn them for having these types of lifestyles despite the fact that arguably, they're more expensive. We hate on gambling cause we directly spend the money that we're burning with the prospect of fun and at the very least, earning something back (although I don't support gambling for profit).

People are quick to judge against gambling and I know there's no inherent benefit to gambling anyway but if we're going to condemn it just cause people are losing their minds and money over it, might as well start condemning every other hobby there is as well.

When it's not that fun anymore based on how you perceive the fun that you'll get through gambling, it's just the best idea to stop.

True.

That's why for the gamblers that don't have much to think of what they're up to, they're just there to enjoy every moment and cent that they gamble.

No heart feelings but that doesn't mean that they don't have emotion.

Not being able to control your gambling habits is a huge issue and definitely something you should take a break from. When your not having fun and yet your forced to gamble, take a break and reflect on how to gradually withdraw. Know that the issue is you and your stands on gambling. How do you approach it? What are your motives for gambling?
Redefine these things and you might find a good reason, one within your control to gamble about. When you can’t control it, then it’s controlling you and that’s where addiction sets in.
Your motives defines what level of happiness or level of satisfaction you can get from your gambling habits.

Gambling isn’t completely a means to making more. It centers more on fun but provides you with an opportunity or possibility of making money. One has to gamble responsibly.

I agree that gambling experience isn't all that good for everyone but that's normal because luck isn't same with everyone so some people experience bad luck. But I couldn't imagine consistently playing games and then nothing seems to be yeilding it's would be rather frustrating and the only option for me would actually be to stop the act because you can't expect someone to be involving in sometimes he isn't benefiting from anf still continue.

The point is that we need to monitor our emotional state when we sit down to play. This partly determines whether we will make aggressive bets more often than usual or not. Even professional players feel these subtle moments. When this happens, they say that now I made an action under the influence of a slight tilt, and after that they may even refuse to play for several days so that next time they can play as always with a clear mind. By the way, this is one of those moments that distinguishes a professional from an amateur.

I mean, one can gamble usually disregarding the social and economical status one has. There are online casinos which allow to wager amounts as low as 0.10$ or even lower.

If the person is not seeking for money but entertainment, then there is not a minimum entry to become a gambler. Nonetheless, the personal situation of each of one could lead us to keep or not track of our losses and earnings.
In reality, someone wagering cents and with a relatively low risk is likely to accumulate a total loss of a few hundreds of dollars in a year or two (depending on how often they gamble), on the other hand, someone with a high economical status would easily wager thousands in a single night.

Sadly, those with less are the more prone to keep track of the money they gambled away, since they will find needs knocking on their doors, unlike a person with enough money to not think about those things. Whether a poor person can then decided to quit and do it easily, it is another story.

If you're playing with a desire to have then for sure you'll be entertained since you're not after money. However, if your main reason on why you gamble is to win and become rich, even the game is exciting and enjoyable, it can't entertain you because you have a set goal on why gamble. So its effect depends on the gambler's purpose on why he/she gamble.

I agree. As I have said if you gamble because of the potential winnings, this is not healthy since you're expecting something in gambling that's why you play. Gambling is not a reliable way to earn money therefore should not be treated as your source of income. Unfortunately many gamblers with such desire ignored the risk and the consequences of their actions.

However, we must control ourselves when gambling, not only when we win but even when we lose, because when we experience loss, emotions can peak and make us want to recover from the losses we have experienced. And if we lose self-control, we will not pay attention to the amount of our losses because with those heightened emotions, we just want to recover the losses, no matter what. We will no longer pay attention to our dwindling budget and no longer have the desire to stop before we have managed to recover the losses. But all that is left is that we will lose more and more and the amount of loss will be greater, so we will still have difficulty recovering the losses. That's why we must always be able to control ourselves when gambling so that we don't lose control and can control the emotions that start to rise. And we can also control the remaining amount of money we have so that it doesn't run out on that day.

Having self-control can make us think that we have experienced many losses and maybe it's time for us to stop gambling so that we don't experience more losses. By stopping gambling, we will not regret it too much because we know that we have accepted the risk due to gambling, but we can reduce the number of losses by stopping gambling. And by continuing to practice self-control, we can remain calm and not be triggered by mounting emotions and we can even suppress the emotions so that they don't have bad consequences for us. We must control our emotions and not let our emotions control us.

I agree with your other statements. Now, how did you say that other gamblers think that gambling can be a source of income and that while they are playing in the casino they are not happy? Because they think that this is a source of income, and when they win, of course it also gives them satisfaction, or they are also happy, apart from the fact that he has earned something from winning gambling, that is, if he stopped immediately and took out the money immediately he/she won.

Although it cannot be denied that there are others who really gamble just for fun or entertainment, they don't care if they win or not because their aim is just for amusement.

and those are the gamblers that we can call responsible gamblers and this is that I can call myself as well. enjoying is the main objective , and winning or luck is just a bonus. try not to ask  for more but to have fun and happiness.
no hard feelings , and no complaining after playing .
how many times that we gamble and play? so its time to realized what we are missing and that is to understand that gambling isnt the place for us to become rich.

Winning is really just that a bonus or something that you wont really be minding that much because gambling is really that made for fun but with those business owners then they do really take advantage on gamblers weakness on which they do really become that greedy or really that become impulsive and this what makes this business that profitable.This is why as a gambler then you shouldn't really be expecting or anticipating much on making yourself that being rich with gambling because if you do find yourself on having this kind of intent towards gambling then most likely you would really be ending up on being poor specially when you are already that addicted. Fun never stops when you do have the money but on the time that you do realize that you dont have money on your pocket then this is where things becomes messy.This is why it would really be that better that you should really be sensible towards your gambling dealing or activity. Spend only on the amount which is really that you can afford to lose because if things turns out to be that excessive
then this is where problem do really starts.

In gambling the fun ends simultaneously with the depletion of the balance. If an individual continues gambling which he/she started for entertainment purposes with the ambition of making money and loses more money than his planned budget, unfortunately, that person is no longer having fun. On the contrary, has become an addicted individual. In other words, fun in gambling is only possible if a person can manage his/her own desires and emotions.

Unfortunately, gambling to make money more easily, doesn't help individuals become rich in a short time or make big profits but also causes these individuals to become addicted and lose more money in gambling. For this reason, it is necessary to answer questions by analyzing whether an individual gambles for fun or with the dream of getting rich as quickly as possible.

Gambling is one of the way of earning but you can also get entertainment when you can earn a lot from here .Of you loose you couldn’t get any entertainment you will hurt. So for me we can get entertain only when win is on our site.


Yes ,Its all getting harder to earn money and it is more tough when you are doing gambling .However this is one good point that the days are passing and we have more responsibility and we need more money to fo that .Gambling is a good way that's how we can get rapid money .


I am totally agree with you.He who took ot seriously they have surely didn’t take it as a fun .They need money badly and they do it for living .This coudn't be fun for them if they loose .If get enough return they could be fun but after that they might take some brek ,It will help them much and more happy .


Gambling is such a earning way where we could be addicted .So that controlling mind is a important thing when you are gambler .When stress worked and you are continuesly loosing then you mught be lost your everything .So make a strategy where you can control your mind it will help you not to loose everything when you are doing gambling .

Still many think that through gambling, their dreams will become true and one of it was the last one that you've mentioned about being rich.

It's a common thing to think that people that are gambling are rich people. But there goes that are not rich but tries to aim their goals through it.

Just enjoy it and you'll eventually see that you're winning and there's no pressure to put on your mind but it changes based on how much your bankroll is.

It's... how to know?  There are no reliable studies that determine whether someone approaches games for the "easy" money or simply for entertainment.

Anyway, if it is the case that you do it for entertainment, it can result in getting lost in hours and hours of gaming and you spent something very valuable more than money, time.

And at the other extreme the situation is worse because it includes both time and money.

But no matter which side you are on, it is the same as always, common sense, managing yourself efficiently whether you do it for simply fun or you do it for the adrenaline of money.

If he has some money to step aside for gambling, when he lost everything then it should be just for fun. But if he cant' control and deposit again and he thought that he will just enjoy, then he is going to be addicted.


Right, and I've seen individuals winning huge amount of money and lost that money in the same night,  ???. I mean, they already have won big, but still they wanted to continue and so not only their huge winnings are lost, but their capital as well.

Gambling is common, it's absolutely no new thing to people because even teens do gamble in our present days. How funny when we believe that only the rich place wagers on games, it's totally out of line, anyone belonging to any category can place a bet on games. Gamblers have a potential targets that's set to gain good results. Ofcourse no one would wants to record losses in the system, the system is volatile, we have no clue on the next movement, it can either be good results for gamblers or pretty bad results, it's our responsibility to accept whatever outcome that's triggered.

It's not out of the line.

There's the balance idea about who gambles, the rich and the poor so yeah, it's to anyone. But in some places when someone gambles and it's not accepted by the family, the first to reason out to that gambler is that are they rich to gamble and has got money to spend and place to wagers?

That's the usual thing we hear but on the other hand, in poor areas, it's also common to see such thing being done.

Yes, good or bad results, we're the reason why it comes out.

That's right, if a gambler is aware of all the risks when he loses, then he must be able to control himself by reducing the money he will bet and limiting the time when he will gamble. Of course, this will be an initial strategy for the person to start gambling again and avoid losing or he will not regret it too much if he loses later. And I agree that a gambler must learn to train his control and emotions when he loses, that we know that gambling is just luck that is obtained at that moment, it is impossible that in the future we will always be lucky.

That term 'entertainment' applies to those who are single and not asked by their parents to submit part of their salaries on their parents' hands. Rest are those who don't come in this category and they cannot entertain themselves through gambling. By the way, you just opened up one side of the coin here, you told us about people who want to win more through gambling. But what about the casinos? What about those who eat our money by any means and not let us withdraw anything and freeze our account for no reason? Do you think we will then be feeling entertained?

As long as you are making a good amount in gambling, I believe you are also being entertained. But when you experience consistent losing, that's when the fun stops. Instead, you no longer experience the fun because you are pressured to recover your losses and win more profits. That is the reason why at some point, gamblers lost the real essence of gambling and just gamble to earn a living. When the time comes that you will find yourself uncontrollable, that's where gambling addiction follows.

I guess those in that cateare the bad actors in the gambling Industry,  I am sure we are already well aware of the fact that casinos that are mostly promoted here in the forum have a good reputation unless for some few others who may promote here and still end up as scam on the long run,  this are all bases for our arguments,  let us not focus on the entertainment aspect of things when it comes to gambling,  because majority of us here are all in for the money.

Take sportbets which is the most popular activities by gamblers,  I staking games in sportbet,  what fun is there anyway?

Unless for the in house games that may present some form of excitement but aside from that,  I don't see any fun compared to the reward aspects.

That's what every gambler must do to reduce the number of losses. Even though he knew it was hard to do, he had to try because by reducing his money and controlling himself, he wouldn't regret it too much if he lost later. And he must be aware of all the risks he will face if he loses so he must really understand how to reduce his money for gambling. And it is true that gambling is just luck so we don't need to gamble for too long because we also don't know when luck will come. So we can only try to enjoy our time gambling without chasing victory because it won't be easy to get.

You will mess up yourself if you expect something from the casino if you've been winning from your past sessions that doesn't mean that you are good at gambling there will be hard and unlucky times and the bad thing is they usually last for many days so its never fun to play in a casino with an expectation of profit.
Only the gambling operators and recruiters are the one who make money from casinos but as a player your chances is not good so you have to be realistic and just play for fun, enjoy and you'll have a good sleep if you do this.

But I cannot blame anyone thinking about getting rich or achieving their dreams through gambling, because an important part of the gambling industry since it became widespread is the advertisement of those gambler who hit the jackpot and the fact the casino/lottery pays to those who rightfully won.

What impact can have to see winners after winners during years on TV and on social media? It is the creation of expectation on people and even more dangerously on those newbies who are not aware of how gambling actually works, specially keeping in mind that most of people do not have formal education on the law of probabilities and have not sought to read about it by themselves.

First of all, you must have the right mindset in gambling. You should know that it has huge risks and that you wouldn't win on it all the time. You must be ready for losses and failures as gambling isn't all about winning all the time. If you have the wrong mindset then you also have the wrong attitude towards it. Gambling is to be enjoyed and not to have ourselves pressured about expecting winnings all the time.
We should see it as an entertainment and as a source of fun and not a source of living. We should see the right purpose of gambling in our lives along with knowing our limitations.

The entertainment of the gamblers based on the mind set,if the gamblers keep winning of dollars.He never worry about the gambling involvement,because he continuously earning from the gambling.The loss only makes the gamblers to understand the real pain,only after the continuous loss.The gambler mindset need to keep in the constant way to approach the gambling,it should be constant both in the profit and the loss.The gambler should understand the important thing,the loss can be recovered in the gambling.The time will answer the gambler about the loss and profit in the game.

To be honest, I don't mind losing in gambling all that much because I find it entertaining. I won't quit it but there are times when losing streaks can become quite annoying. During those moments, I may start to feel like I'm making mistakes but after I just recheck I realize it's just a run of bad luck, and the bets I placed were just normal and nothing too risky. I also enjoy making friendly bets with my friends during football games that we watch together, which adds to the fun.

Yes we do, especially the adrenaline rush when we take on a huge gambling risk. That is the fun and the entertainment that comes from it.

There should be more awareness about gambling create. More people will become gamblers and if it is not controlled we my have a pandemic on our hands to deal with. Awareness is best to sensitize the public especially the young ones who are the easiest to become gamblers.

No, the primary purpose of gambling is to provide us entertainment. The profit that we can get is only a bonus but people treat it the other way around. Not all times life is hard and even if it occurs, money isn't always the solution for it but there can be other things too. Many of us are busy but there must still be that little time left where we can squeeze gambling in.

We can also play gambling automatically either by using a bot or by the in-game autobet feature but the ones that mostly use it are the people who only want to earn a profit out of it. When they win and they successfully multiply their money, that is their definition of being entertained.

But there are still people who can control themselves and not mess themselves up because they know and can use gambling as entertainment. They feel no need to gamble excessively because gambling is not a means of making money. They just want to have fun playing gambling, so they only use enough money and can stop on time. And when their money is almost gone, they think the fun is almost over, so they need to stop gambling and not deposit any more money. If they keep doing it, they will probably experience even more losses, so they really need to be able to avoid it.

I have been gambling for several years now. I have gambled alone and I game gambled with friends too. My candid observation from the two is that it is always boring, when you I gamble alone it seems like a duty and obligation I have to meet. But when I gamble with friends, it is a time to bond, catch up. Basically this is just us getting entertained.


Because I have clearly been able to define my relationship with gambling, I do fall into thinking that this would solve my problem or the problem

Yes I agreed Anyone who does gambling right will have fun gambling and also win.

We know that there are indeed people who do really lack that formal education on which on the time that they are seeing something then they would really be starting to reflect it out into themselves about it and would really be believing that they could really be able to make themselves that thinking that winning in gambling would really be just that too easy but its not. They would sooner or later realize on what it is and
what are the imposed risks that they could really be possibly be able to meet up and realize that it was never be meant on making money in the first place.

Gambling is for fun, but losing money is never been fun or something that give out some good feeling but if you do have that kind of sufficient experience and awareness on how gambling works
then you would really be finding yourself that having that good control towards it on which this is where most people do really fail on doing so. Fun stops? Depends on you because
each person does have their own impression and thinking towards gambling on which some would really be that going for fun totally and majority is really coming after on making money.

Why have we been so convinced that gambling addictions are triggered due to excessive pursuit for winning,  I may bet to disagree with that assumption because not all gamblers will let themselves slide so deep into addictions while trying to make some money off gambling,  this is not true at all,  because we still have some gamblers who are good at what they do and can properly avoid addictions while making maximum money chasing.

But not many can be smart enough to guide themselves through such a face and for that, we must allow them to have the benefits of not trying but for me,  I can properly combine both and still come out as strong as ever and without any trace or act of possible addictions.

For I am not used to playing poker and don't perform online casinos so the issue of using those platform as a form of an entertainment is out of question for me, infact I don't like those form of gaming either for entertainment purpose or to make money, my sole choice or preference of gambling is soccer betting because I watched soccer matches for entertainment and to bet on games.

I am getting entertained whenever I watch my favorite club Arsenal plays and delightful to watch whenever they are playing and play soccer bets on other soccer matches to earn some extra income.

Some people already feel like they are not having fun, because what they have in mind is making money, to all people that feels this way, If you feel like you aren't having fun I believe for the greater good, it's better to take a break from gambling and do something else.

Do you agree or disagree?

I believe that most people end up messing themselves up with gambling because to them everything is money, money, money, and this can stop your brain from becoming a responsible gambler, the sense of protecting yourself from gambling addiction can get lost if you are already not having fun with gambling anymore.

Yes, but there are really gamblers who really can't control, if you go to landbase casinos, you can see that people having huge money and yet they don't want to quit and chase for more. Sometimes I'm just thinking that if that is me, maybe I will quit or maybe I really don't have control of myself and continue to gamble.


Nah, there is no thrill in autobet, as least for me, it's better if you can click that mouse whether for a spin in a slot machine, or roll the dice, or pick the numbers if you are playing roulette, just saying. That's where the fun and entertainment when you see you money rolling.

I believe the the casinos who wanted to profit in gambling and other scam entities can be discussed on another thread.  This thread is about the people who gambles for fun and yet they end up losing making their supposed to be fun experience become stressful due to the lose of money.

---

It maybe highly likely that people who losses money in gambling become frustrated since their goal is to win more money but ended up losing their bankroll, there are people who play gambling games for curiosity and fun.  Those who look at gambling as entertainment often allocates funds to spend to the activity just like when someone is into movies, hiking, and camping.  These people won't mind losing money because they think of it as expenses for their entertainment.  They will get doing it until they have enough and the activity is not fun anymore then they stop and look for new kind of entertainment.

Due to the addictive effect of gambling, one must be careful and responsible in engaging with gambling activities.  Moderation is always effective way of minimizing the possibility of gambling addiction.

Yes, I agree with you. It's just addiction or emotion that will make someone keep playing even when they are not winning. Some people, because they have experienced so much loss, want to keep playing with their emotions just to make sure that they win back all that they have lost, but it doesn't just turn out so easily like that; if the person is not just lucky, they can still lose every dollar they have.

Movies, hiking and camping are purely activities of entertainment and fun and so therefore in my opinion there is a little disparity in using them as comparison to gambling even though gambling has a touch of fun in it too and the gambler who claimed to derive just fun and entertainment from gambling not minding if they lose or win is sincerely not saying the truth as it ought to be.

No matter how much a person focuses on only getting entertained through gambling there will be a cloak of a winning desire inside him. In the inner mind he won't be settled thinking about it that all the times he spent on a slot game he didn't even get a single win out of 20 time's. For those fun activities you @bitcoinpanther mentioned above there's no idea of winning in partaking in them but just fun) entertainment unlike gambling a winning mentality is involved whether you playing for fun or not.

If your main aim is to get rich through gambling, then don’t be surprised that you will end up being poor. If you are desperate to make money through gambling, that’s when you will end up losing more money. Only a few people are able to get rich through gambling. If you want to be rich, make sure you invest in other things, because gambling is really the wrong place to expect life-changing money. If you are gambling and you are expecting life-changing money, then you might end up losing a lot without getting any life-changing money.

Because you are a gambler, that does not mean I will think you are rich. Gambling is not for rich people or poor people, gambling is general, and anybody can decide to gamble. But I can say most rich people just gamble for fun, the poor people are the ones who are trying to make a source of income from gambling, they are always aiming for big amounts when gambling, which means they will end up being addicted to gambling.

Not sure why he replied that way, like the topic opened up something from his past trauma about financial problem or a previous scam victim.  :P

Anyways, entertainment varies depending on each individual how they feel when gambling or playing in general. For me, It depends on how I feel during every gambling session and it's much entertaining when I have a goal whether I'm broke or not. But I mostly avoid gambling when I'm in a bad mood as I never felt any entertainment.

Yes, that's right, although it is said that there are people who get rich from gambling, the number is very, very small, so don't expect much or we will lose more money in the casino. I once thought about chasing my lost money and depositing again and again by increasing the bets, but instead of getting my money back, I ended up losing more money. So it's better to forget the money we have spent on gambling


I very agree with your statement.

That's why being a disciplined and responsible gambler should always be our top priority.

I know it's easy to say rather than to do it in actual but don't take that as a reason why others ended up broke at the end.

There are gamblers who end up losing big in the process but still, remain responsible for their financial situation outside their gambling activity. It's not about they afford to lose a lot of money in gambling but rather, they know the risk they went into once they gamble. If they can do it, others should do it too and get used to it over the long period of doing gambling.

The problem is that many gamblers do not realize that they have started to experience a gambling addiction. If you pay attention and start thinking about returning to gambling, that is an early sign that you are starting to get addicted to gambling, and maybe at that time, you will remember your previous losses or wins. You want to experience that excitement again so that subconsciously, you will think about it again and eventually return to the casino to gamble again. And it will happen over and over again, especially if you don't have the self-control to get rid of those thoughts.

But if you can guide yourself and reassure him that thinking about it is normal, but you don't need to go back to gambling, you won't go back to the casino. Maybe once or twice, you can return to gambling, and to be able to stay like that, you need self-control so that you don't gamble for too long because you can become addicted to gambling.

Obviously yes, much especially when winning. When losing? Still entertained but taking a break of course. If we feel not entertained anymore to gamble, don't force ourselves to do it for the sake of hoping and expecting good money in return. There is no technical connection on these but if a gambler is not happy on doing gambling and just hoping to big money in return, mostly they end up losing at the end.


Please help yourself, mate. Gambling has nothing to do with that. Focus on your responsibilities and don't mind gambling for now if you are having a hard time coping with your situation. Don't add another problem to the current problem for God's sake.


That's the gambling trap and only gamblers can help themselves. Gambling should not be blamed but the gamblers themselves.

Yes, trying and always being careful when playing gambling is very important and needs to be done with the aim of minimizing losses. Each person will try to find a way to win, perhaps by understanding more about the gambling game he is going to play, and of course, if he feels unable to play, it would be better not to play with the aim of avoiding the risk of losing or to continue playing by minimizing the money he will bet so that he will not regret if he loses and will lose his money.

Without planning and discipline, a gambler can end up messing around and recording heavy losses which he might not be able to recover or bounce back to stand, one of the primary reasons to always subject ourselves to the best option available, as for me, I'm always ready to take risks but with calculated risk management and not gambling or moved because of significant odds available. We should have targets each day we gamble, perhaps we ought not to gamble daily because that results in steady losses. Gambling is risky as it sounds, we should take preventive measures inother to get rid of the system.

I think that entertainment also depends on many of us as well as players, because a casino can have many games in fact if we go to casinos like stake.com, bitcasino.io, which are casinos that every weekend integrates new games, especially the Slot machines are games that entertain us a lot and make a real difference, which is why I recommend them a lot, of course there are other very good casinos like rollbit, duelbits, among others that are quite good, but in particular the entertainment also depends a lot. of the risk management of our balance, our money is what gives the power to continue playing or not, because if we go to reality, we can have a lot to entertain ourselves, but if we do not have money it cannot be done, unless it is in demo mode, but many do not like the demo mode because they know that there is no apparent risk there, everything is more spicy when placing bets, the money at stake, everything is different.

Entertainment is only the first thing we want, more than anything when we leave work, we have a day where we always want to experience something different, but always for everything, even if it is to entertain ourselves, we need to have a lot of responsibility, to be able to have a good job in a casino , because we can have a lot of money, but if we do not make irresponsible bets, that is, a lot of money, we can lose it all and that is not good because we are basically throwing a lot of things overboard, peace of mind, and we get stressed, so we won't turning entertainment into such a stressful thing that there are many people who come out sick, so it is not the idea, so it is always good to have a lot of restraint when entering a casino, so that you can enjoy it, it is assumed if you lose, You have more fun if you win, but you have to accept things as they are, because you don't win all the time, you have to consider that the casino will always have the advantage, so these are the things that should be considered.

That only applies to gamblers who gamble only to get monetary gains and those who are addicted to gambling. Someone who gambles for fun won't really care much about their losses hence they will never chase their losses. For someone who gambles to entertain themselves, even if they are losing, it's still fun because the thrill of the game is what they want from gambling and they will get that even if they are not winning constantly which doesn't matter for them.

But if someone is gambling with a limited amount and wants to increase that amount through gambling, they will surely feel bad or sad when they keep losing and they won't find gambling fun because for them, the fun only means that they should be winning constantly which isn't possible.

From my point of view, fun in gambling stops when gambler starts to calculate and imagine what he could do with money he could have won. For example when his possible amount won in next bet is equal to his monthly salary, when he could buy a car for it, or a phone. In that monent fun turns into serious game. When on a scale of win or lose is something significant. But before that, this is just a way to spend time or have fun.

Anyone who gambles with the intention of succeeding and making money is aware of how frustrating it is to lose. However, many that visit casinos purely for entertainment don't care if they win or lose because all they want to do is unwind, have fun, or pass the time.

There are many various reasons why people choose to gamble, but the best way to prevent addiction is to just gamble for enjoyment. The one, though, that you initially enjoy because you consistently succeed, and then all of a sudden, when you lose, you are helpless because you are unmatched. You initially felt joy, but that soon gave way to remorse.

And when they have lost several times, maybe they can think about stopping gambling because the fun is gone and if they continue gambling, they could experience more losses. If they are wise gamblers, they will immediately stop and leave the casino, but most gamblers can still accept their defeat and continue gambling. But after several losses, they think it may be time to stop gambling because they have experienced more losses. But unfortunately, their money has decreased so much from before that it is not worth doing it again another day and they really have to be able to stop gambling so that their money doesn't decrease too much. There are always regrets at the end of the game; if we don't want to experience them, it's better to stop gambling and continue another day. That would be better because we could save the money.

I'll speak about myself that whenever I bet, I bet for fun. There is no pressure on me to win but I make sure that I give in everything to win.
Even if I lose there's no such burden which makes betting fun to me. I keep trying new strategies and this makes it interesting to me.
Although I keep losing money but the amount is not so huge because I bet with smaller amounts. I don't bet something that I cannot afford to lose.

That's right, friend, someone will realize that he has experienced continuous defeat, and of course he must immediately think with common sense about what efforts he will make in the future. Maybe if he knows he has run out of money gambling, a good step would be to just stop because he might not win if he gambles again. In order to avoid big problems, he must immediately realize that gambling is not always profitable but will actually be detrimental to himself.

I know that many people will defend the entertainment side of gambling, but the majority of you are saying yes to entertainment because that's what we want to hear, the truth is everyone gambles for money including myself, the difference with gambling and me is I don't take it too seriously, I think too serious with gambling is what brings you stupid hopes, you will start hoping you win a jackpot one day and your sorrows will go away.

What many don't want to hear is, as a gambling beginner, you can have the desire to make gambling as your entertainment hub but when continues loses strikes you nonstop your body will lost that sense of entertainment you pretend you are getting.

I like Slots for one thing, it's easy to keep tabbing a button to make money and the soundtracks are captivating, although not all Slots games are good, still I feel like using $30 to gamble today and earn $300 in that week.

Don't get me wrong, I believe it's what everyone wants, we can't just keep throwing some dollars away every week for nothing, when the losses are too much it becomes boring, this is also why I use more than two online casinos.

Your last line seems to negate what you have said earlier.

Each of us are not the same. In order for some to experience the true fun in gambling, they need to risk a slightly higher amount first. Unfortunately, some of them can't help but to feel bad about their losses which is understandable according on the amount that they are risking. I see that you are trying new strategy but I thought you are only playing for fun?

You need to clear up your mind mate to know if what really is your main aim when you play gambling. If in case you play for profit, may we know if what is that game you are playing? Because some games are not depending on the strategy that we are using.

A person who can realize his situation after gambling may be able to immediately stop when he sees that he no longer has any money. But many still cannot realize this and instead deposit other money to continue gambling. This was one mistake he made because it would only trigger him to continue playing without stopping and not being able to figure out what he was supposed to do. We must not be like those gamblers because we must really be able to control ourselves and before our money runs out at the gambling table, we must be able to stop so as not to lose a lot. We don't need to experience incidents like other gamblers because we still control our gambling so we can also stop before things get worse.

Indeed, this must be done immediately if he is aware, but it is very difficult if someone is addicted, he will gamble continuously without thinking about the losses he will receive, he thinks he is only looking for victory and pleasure within himself. I agree with you that we should not imitate the behavior of gamblers like that because what they do is very wrong, and of course their money will run out if it is not controlled properly and they will regret it after the money runs out and maybe they will get stressed and stop gambling.

If we can't stop ourselves while we're we gambling. It's best to realize it later that we need to take some break and check ourselves if we're still doing it correctly.

The thing when we want to stop but can't control ourselves is we become the other person like what we don't know who we are. This happens when we're losing and even if we want to stop, it just can't happen. Big realization should come to those gamblers that can't do it.

However, there are also types of gamblers who are not aware and do not want to admit that they are addicted to gambling. I have a friend who is a gambling addict on online sites, he spent his monthly salary in just one night. He can only stop when his money runs out and he lives simply until he gets his salary next month. He often asked me for loans, but since I found out he was a gambling addict, I never gave him loans

Many such people never realise it. They'll be in temptation to gamble and these kind of people never make a win out of gambling. Because, they wait for days to gamble and keeps wagering unlike the win/loss. Even if they're on profit for the day their temptation don't let them to keep it aside so that they can wager the next day. For these kind of people what seems to be the better choice to get out of addiction. Self realisation, maybe after years of experiencing hard times he might change. Through rehabilitation and all it isn't possible to get out of addiction as his mind isn't ready to come out of it.

personally i believe that mostly the sole aim why majority gambling is to make money. some might find gambling enjoyable as a form of entertainment while some see it as good and quick means to make money. i believe those who see it as a fun activity dont get addicted and this happens most times with the rich and also they will most likely have more wins from it. one thing that we all need to know is to assess our own relationship with gambling, to know if you are for the fun side or the money making side and also to know how to take breaks if you are getting stressed or overwhelmed with it.

That's true because when he is still addicted, he will not be able to see the opportunity to reduce his gambling activities, let alone realize that he has gone too far in gambling. Maybe he just keeps thinking about how to win, especially if he has found comfort in gambling so he doesn't think about stopping gambling. By having self-control, we can learn continuously so that we don't become a gambler who is addicted to gambling, let alone spending a lot of money on gambling. We have other life needs that require money so we need to allocate the money to these things instead of spending the money on gambling.

For the better, maybe we need to take a break by stopping the gambling habit for a few days or weeks so that we don't think about gambling. By resting, we can do other things that are more useful.

When we lose, we can stop the game to rest and not gamble again. Instead of losing more money, we should secure the money and continue gambling another day so that we will not be frustrated that day.

It's not actually just a sole purpose why some people gamble to earn money, but they get to have fun as well while earning money, it's easier to earn in gambling than doing your 9 to 5 job that's the mindset behind it.
IMO, the fun and entertaining part is only present in a land base casinos, where you get to meet wealthy people that could expand your connections with rich business men's acquaintances. You could also get complimentary services, and live interactions.
The people who have the wrong intentions coming into gambling will eventually gets broke most of the time. Those were the people who thinks, gambling can be their only salvation from a struggling financial life. 
I've seen a lot of businessmen who eventually became poor because of the excessive gambling, and there's no sign FUN in that situation lol.

Gambling should be mostly used for entertainment purpose and not for looking for money but in some situations you can gamble just for money and that shouldn't be a problem because when you gamble moderately for money you can't get addicted and you'll be very disciplined. If you noticed you aren't having fun when you gamble then you need to stop before it becomes worst. Gamblers can get depression easy because the way they expected the bet to go didn't happen.

We have many thing's that you can do for entertainment so when gambling isn't doing the job properly again, then you have to try the other activities like walking in the park or going to visit the museum and other interesting places that you can have fun visiting and it'll help you.

I agree with the statement of the creator in this post, but in my opinion, the "fun" or "entertainment" part varies depending on your status in life. Everyone says it is correct that the fun will be paid for because they keep on chasing their losses. To earn money, it's all about their desire to earn and also about being so addicted to gambling that they cannot stop, even if it is not fun anymore. This situation applies to, let's say, middle-to-low status in life. But for fortunate people, gambling is just their plaything; losing money is not a problem for them as long as they enjoy themselves and have fun. In short, the fun and entertainment of gambling will change if the person aims to earn money, while for fortunate people, gambling will be just their hobby without the worry of losing money.

Yes, it is possible to say that an individual is addicted if he/she constantly starts depositing more money into his/her account regardless of his/her budget for gambling. We can determine that an individual is addicted to gambling not by the amount of bets but by how often he/she deposits money into his account.


I can easily state that especially individuals who are addicted to gambling or who think that the money they earn is insufficient and believe that they can earn more, often lose the earnings they earned by gambling again. This is actually due to the fact that the individual reaches the level of addiction with his/her emotions that he/she is not aware of and aims to earn more. I also see that such people, in addition to their general earnings also consume their own capital in gambling.

In as much as you  gamble, your primary reason is to make some money and every other reason is secondary and if you're fortunate enough, you can get both fun and money as well but it all depends on how well you play the game and the moment  you learn how not to play with money you can't afford to lose, the better for you and it saves you from addiction and frustration  in gambling.

@op I love how you made your writings clear but just as you already stated, I don't think anyone making straight and severe losses in gambling isn't having any fun, not in my country because I already know the cost of living is getting increasingly expensive and anyone getting involved in gambling already have the mindset of making money and I think the fun in gambling comes when there are winnings

But that mindset is wrong, especially by comparing work with gambling so the results are indeed far different, gambling is much more loss than earning from others, but this goal has led many to think that making money in gambling is easy when it is not.

Some are happy with land-based casinos, but I am NOT, I prefer online casinos because gambling will be more enjoyable in privacy than face-to-face although you can interact - that's what I want.

Such people think gambling is a get-rich-quick scheme but it is not, those who think like that will experience bankruptcy more severely.

If their main reason for gambling is to make money, they should know that gambling is not the place for that and they should not pin their hopes on gambling to make money.
They can have fun gambling, which is natural, but they cannot make money from gambling with money because there must be a price they have to pay to get that money.
Apart from that, gambling addiction has befallen many people, so they have to be more careful when gambling and not let them be the next person to experience it.
Gambling is expensive because people give up money to make money, even though they will not always be able to.
If that's the case, we should think of gambling as just entertainment and nothing more.

The fun will stop at one point if all you have in mind as a gambler who want to get rich and you don't have anything you are doing with your life, if you lose some rounds of games via gambling you will get mad and you will probably start chasing your loses, because you don't understand how gambling needs to be treated.

Fun doesn't stops for those who expected too less from gambling, they gble only when free money is available, they don't take gambling like a job or source of income per week, gambling will humble you if what you are looking for is a way to keep making money every week with gambling.

You don't need to be told that gambling is basically all about how lucky you could get, and gambling is capable of taking everything you've won back from you, it's smart to always take the money you won off the casino first before you continue gambling, some people are so stupid that after good wins they never get enough still, they let greed consumed them.

Agreed, it should be like that. In general, gambling is just for fun and don't let you keep the assumption that this can be used as a place to make a living, it's not healthy, something that is only limited to luck cannot be used to make a living at all, let alone you bet real money that you can even get that money from your hard work and sweat. So I hope you can respect your money by not overdoing it when gambling. Limit all budgets that you will allocate to gambling, and gamble with a healthy and wise mindset where it is just a place to have fun. As we know casinos are very clever, providing a place to have fun but also with a little addiction in it for those who are stupid and expect that casinos will give a lot of money, of course not.

If you really want to find entertainment and sensation then please it doesn't matter, but before playing make sure your brain and mind are running healthy so that whatever happens in the end (defeat) you will not feel addicted, it will be better than you keep complaining because of defeat. And yes your advice is also good, there is nothing wrong with us looking for other fun by going on vacation to tourist attractions and hopefully with that your mind will be distracted.

People often accept gambling when they don't have money and they don't think to initiate it forever but they just gamble for examining their luck. Its obvious that once your find that you are lucky then you cannot get rid of it because one cannot move away from the maximum money earning technology.

One cannot leave the earned money and he cannot forget the missing opportunities therefore once you earned you will never talk badly about that field but once you fail to earn you will try many more to find a lucky moment to recover your balance.

Addiction become strong after loss as well as gain because gain make you more confident and loss enhance your hopes that one try can change your life.

The gambler will accept only if they have money to do gambling,because without the initial how they start the gambling.And if the gambler was struggling to survive,how he will get into the gambling.If the person had more money,he surely get into the gambling.Because of huge holding money,they will find way to spending the money.

The people not have the mindset of holding large money,this psychological concept was origin of bank system.The bank use this opportunity and ask the people to keep money and in return pay the interest of the holding money.Like wise,the gamblers will use the gambling site on the time of holding huge money.

Opportunities in both trading and gambling are endless, it will never end but you need to hit the tables at the right time. If you see you are losing, it is a must to stop the game and leave the casino as it will save some partial bankroll which may be used for some household expenses or be used in gambling at a later time. Some gamblers keep gambling because they want to recover what they have lost, but they end up losing their complete bankroll. This should be avoided at any cost because saving some from the bankroll is also a quality which only few gamblers know and have in them.

Use that time for something else when you are eager to quit. The fun is still there and you might find your new happiness in doing other things.

The opposite happens for most gamblers, we tend to gamble more and we think that it's way better to chase the losses until we're out of money already. We can't wait until the other day comes so instead of having that particular alloaction for that day, we use it within the day that we're chasing losses.

Some people claim or are still claiming that they are gambling for fun, but up until now, I have never believed much about it. It may be the truth, but many people who say so are just saying it because they don't want to receive negative comments from other people who are not gambling, like telling them they are wasting their money.
 
To be honest with myself, I don't gamble for fun; I gamble to make money, despite the fact that I know it is a chance to be lucky. The only thing is that I am limited in the amount I can stake in a bet and also not hunting for a huge amount of money. Again, I don't take gambling as a full-time activity where I can make money; I only have other sources of income, which is why I am not desperate to make much money from gambling.
 
As for those people saying that they are gambling for entertainment, that is fine, but I will also advise you that if you are not making money from it, I will advise you to quit because continuing with that can later make you addicted, and if you are addicted to gambling, I can't say you are doing that for entertainment any more.

There are so many things that can kill fun in gambling.Yes it is true that once you win,it Will give you a ginger,a boost that you can do more,and when you loss,it demoralises you.I think the fun in gambling can stop when you have had a very heavy loss.Its only those who have suffered victim of heavy loss,or loosing to cut one of a very huge amount of money that would have changed your life,that will really comprehend what I'm saying here.This happened to me recently,as cut one made me have sleepless night,I was unhappy through out,I drank to try to forget the fact that I have loss to cut one on a lifetime money that would have changed my life.But it is what it is.It will always happen,but the motivation to keep on trying still keeps us going.Atleast one-day,it will be for me.

Maybe the way he hides gambling in front of other people is what he thinks is right because he thinks not everyone will accept it. Even though what he did was a big mistake. And the consequence is that if your friend gambles in secret, that is, he loses control in gambling, only pursues momentary pleasure and hopes for a win that he may not necessarily get. And it's true, my friend will immediately realize that because his monthly salary has run out, there is nothing left and he will definitely regret and be sad.

It's not worth doing because if we run out of money, we have to rearrange the financial allocation and we also have to deposit another amount to be able to gamble another day. Maybe that wouldn't be okay if we had a large income, but the average gambler doesn't have that, so they have to manage their financial allocation well to gamble in a week or a month. And there is no need to take too big a risk just to gamble, especially when other life needs require more money.

When a gambler who really likes and is active in gambling activities will experience a feeling of boredom and anxiety when he tries to stop and look for something else that might also provide pleasure because all of that is a feeling of being very satisfied when gambling and this is not about pleasure just.
If he is a businessman maybe he can travel to see the development of his business so that he can forget for a moment and look for other activities for a gambling addict which will be very difficult to find.

If we talk about pleasure then chasing losses is not the pleasure you get from gambling because doing this can cost you more money so that emotions increase constantly and make you feel angry.
If someone gambles just for fun he will definitely not chase losses because he understands that coming to have fun and spending money for fun is something he has accepted without any desire to be able to get back the money he lost.
Moreover chasing losses will always result in even greater losses.:D

I don't think this is a good option, and I'd say it's the beginning of a bigger disease of addiction and downfall. Of course it will make them suffer more and more losses, assuming that they will continue to pursue victory to cover the losses in the previous time is one of the assumptions that will make you wretched, yes maybe your hope will be able to get a victory and cover the losses in the previous time, but if in fact it does not happen how? obviously your loss calculation will be greater there. Therefore, I honestly agree with you, this method should not be done by anyone because it is very dangerous, even though maybe you are from the rich but it is still very easy to spend money not like you are looking for it.

In my opinion if you really want to gamble then I think you should spend 5% of the amount of your income, not more than that and always be consistent, instead of being able to reduce it again that's even better. That's right, it's better to focus on your needs first, and by only allocating a small amount then your losses will not interfere with your life needs.

Yeah, I guess there's a little entertainment there. I understand work is very tiring. everything is under pressure. Not with gambling if we think of it as a game, it's like we're tired of the world and need entertainment. unless we are addicts who think we have to get rich from gambling. I think it's impossible.

We know that we us human beings are really that solely that been trying out to do all sorts of things just for us to make or earn money on which this is really simply our priority on which its never been a new thing but we do

know that there would really be people who do really look up for things on which they could really be able to entertain themselves and even if it means on doing gambling.Yes, no one really likes on losing money and its never that an entertaining thing but they do just simply void off that kind of emotion or feeling because they do know that they could really be able to make money as well on the time that they do gamble and this is the main reason on why they would really be taking up some risks despite on having those losing sessions or outcomes just because they do know deep inside that they could potentially win big and this is where cycle would really be continuing because people does really have this kind of intent into their minds and this is something that very normal or common behavior of most people.

There's no fun on losing money and even myself did really realize this thing because once you do gamble then it would be acting out that the money you had deposited is the amount that you are paying
up for the entertainment and never ever  considering yourself on becoming a winner because it is really just that a bonus if ever you are lucky on that time.

I agree with that, a lot of people gamble to earn money but they say that they are gambling for fun and I don't really understand why they do this, maybe the reason you've given is why they do it. However, I believe someone who gambles for fun or someone who gambles for money but has a limit for their time and money are both on the safe side since they won't be spending a lot of money and won't be chasing their losses and causing themselves more losses in the process.

However, there are actually people who gamble for fun, I'm one of them. I don't spend a lot of money on gambling, I make very small deposits when I got some free time and play some slots. I enjoy it when I hit a multiplier, of course, but I don't feel bad if I lose the money since it was meant for that.

Yes, that could be the beginning of an addiction disease that can come to anyone who often gambles, especially if they don't pay attention to what they do when gambling. They can forget the losses from playing gambling, which are even increasing but they don't stop but instead continue playing gambling. And yes, those who have experienced losses will continue gambling to recover their previous losses, which they will not be able to do because there is a possibility that they will suffer more losses. And that means they will experience even more losses. And if we already know that it is dangerous, we should avoid it before we really run out of money from gambling, especially if we have to be responsible with our gambling.

That 5% is enough of your income to gamble, especially for those who don't chase wins and just want to enjoy gambling as entertainment. They will leave the casino no matter what happens when they have had enough gambling and don't want to get into other problems. With that percentage, we can get pleasure from gambling without losing more, so we control the amount of our spending on gambling.

Whatever you say, this is actually a correct and healthy mindset where gambling actually has entertainment in it, even though it is a little entertaining, so when you feel tired from work, spending time looking for entertainment in gambling is very enjoyable to relieve fatigue from work, but unfortunately most People think that gambling is a way to make them rich quickly so they always think wrongly about gambling.

It is true that we will never get rich by gambling, which is why it is important to have a mindset like this, always considering gambling as just looking for entertainment and you must have certain limits for gambling just looking for fun and nothing more than that. As a gambler so far I am safe using that mindset.

It is very dangerous and if you do it and get addicted then what usually happens is that you will never stop gambling while holding money in your wallet, so next and if it is not handled quickly then you will work to earn money and when you get a salary then you will spend it only on gambling and fulfilling your lust, obviously that is very silly, finding a job in this day and age is difficult, so you must be able to appreciate the results of your own hard work by not allocating the money for gambling but for your interests so that you can continue living. Oh well, their hopes are much higher than the reality that says they lost again, so they seem to feel like they are still fine even though the losses are clearly increasing. That's the danger of the wrong mindset or addiction.

Well no matter how much you earn and no matter how big the amount is then you still can't use that as an excuse to increase the amount of budget for gambling, gambling is just for fun and there is absolutely no clear and profitable return on that action, with that I think it's clear that you should only bring the lowest budget of money you have, it will be better to minimize the unwanted things.

Starting to gamble after work while you are tired can be stressful. I think the better example is when you are with your friends, you help each other or play together can be entertaining. Many people think of making money through gambling because of what they see, they will start gambling because some people they know won a huge amount of money and they are hoping to win the same.

If you really see gambling as a form of entertainment and not as a means for you to earn money, then I think that person is still getting entertained. But if you have come to the point where you are stressing yourself in gambling because you wanted to generate money and do not turn that way, then I agree that you should pause or stop because this where most gambling problems are coming from. The moment where you feel like you are obliged to engage in gambling, not because you wanted to reduce your stress, but because money is on your mind, then you should take a break and reflect on this. Personally, gambling is fun when your intention is to have fun. Just like what the OP have mentioned, when the funs stops then I think your gambling engagement should also stop. And this is for your own good to avoid the possible risks and harm you can get from it.

if you lose when gambling then it can be called your bad day but if you win then it can be called your good day, apart from that, the reason for gambling is also very important, many gambler continue to gamble only for money, not fun ^{(in fact they did not succeed in getting the money)}.  Becoming a responsible gambler is really not easy, there are many limits that must be obeyed, such as setting a gambling budget and so on.  In the end, you yourself must try hard to control your gambling activities, don't let it become destructive and no longer fun.

If they can earn a salary, they should realize that it is a way to make money and should not use that salary to gamble because they will find it difficult to make money from gambling. And because finding work in this day and age is difficult, they should be able to appreciate their hard work and not use their money to gamble. But most people who are familiar with gambling will try their luck by gambling and they want to win from gambling. But only a few of them can make money from gambling, while others will experience losses and many will even run out of money at the gambling table. They have to really realize it and think that they should focus on their work so they can make money that they can use to meet their living needs.

They can use money from their salary to gamble as long as they can allocate a certain amount of money for gambling and do not exceed the limits in gambling. Using this method, they can still fulfill their daily needs and continue gambling even within strict limits. If they could think more about gambling, they might find that gambling does not benefit them but gives them a lot of losses if they cannot control themselves.

That's right, maybe by entertaining ourselves by playing online gambling, for example when we are at home lying down and relaxing, we will enjoy gambling games and placing small amounts of money will not be a problem, or when we are on holiday. From work, we can hang out with friends while gambling. This would also be a lot of fun, wouldn't it? In this case, of course we will not feel like we have lost and spent a lot of money, instead we will entertain ourselves.

Well right, they should be able to distinguish which places to make real money and which are just for profit and there is absolutely no guarantee whatsoever that you can earn, don't have the same thoughts or assumptions in these two places that are clearly different, that's your job that has supported your living expenses so far, and this is gambling which is just for fun, not with any income. Yes as I said above, it's hard to find a job and that means it's ridiculous if you allocate almost all of your salary just to gambling, then what are you going to eat tomorrow? borrowing? it's ridiculous, it's the same as working but the results are for the croupier in the casino. True, it's nothing more than luck, and by that I mean it won't always happen, but you keep spelling out this uncertainty.

Of course, as I've said before, increasing your gambling budget is only going to make you worse off. I think it's like you're setting a deeper trap for yourself, you're making yourself worse off through the wrong mindset and you're also looking for a cure through hard work for example to pay off debt. So keep a normal mindset, this is not a good place at all, gambling is prone to traps so you have to be careful.  So you can go there but only for fun.

             -  I simply want to check in with you and see how you're doing, mate, if that's how you gamble on this crypto gambling site.
Do you typically succeed or fail? You were sincere in what you said, and I could feel it. Because if you've been gambling up until now, it means that you've somehow managed to meet your monthly gambling income goal.

So it also means that it benefits you and any family you may have, correct? The only positive aspect of what you mentioned is that it sounds as though you don't care whether you win or lose when you gamble—you only have a certain amount that you're truly allotted, and once that amount is gone, gambling ends.

In this situation when we feel that we are not having fun at all while spending money in gambling, it can be said that it is a sign of addiction.
Of course I have to agree that we should stop at this stage, although I have to say that most gamblers will not realize that this situation as a sign of addiction.
Due to some reasons such as recovering losses or aiming to get more wins, most gamblers will continue playing although they do not feel the fun any longer while playing the game.

And when the pleasure of gambling can no longer be obtained, we must immediately stop gambling and leave the casino so that we don't experience more losses. And indeed, we don't need to use gambling to make money because we already know what results we will get. We should be serious about working so that we can continue to make money that can be used to meet life's needs. After all, it's okay if we don't gamble, especially if we want to try doing other things to get pleasure.

So if everything we do in gambling doesn't give good results, we should immediately consider what we can do. We can't make money from gambling, so maybe we need to give up gambling for a while to reduce our spending on gambling. And instead of making the situation we are experiencing worse, we could have fun using other methods that are safer and don't require a lot of money.

Aren't addicted gamblers addicted to gambling because they find it fun when they are gambling? I used to think that is how it is, they keep gambling and can't stop because they have fun gambling and that is the reason why they don't even realize how much money they've lost so far and they keep coming back to gamble even after going through excessive losses because they just like the times when they win and even when you are losing, you tend to get some wins in the middle.

The fun might stop for someone who isn't a very regular gambler or who is not addicted to gambling. Someone who gambles for fun might not like it when they see that they are constantly losing without getting a single win because even if you are gambling for fun, you like the bets that you win, obviously.

Well that's right, if you can't get anything else there that can make you happy, or I mean if you can't get a thrill in every round then it's definitely better to stop. Because what is feared is when they gamble no longer for pleasure but for income, that is the danger and usually it will happen if the feeling of pleasure is gone then their mindset is very likely to change by gambling for income. Agreed, don't overdo it and indeed I think most of them (gamblers) must already know that gambling is not a place to make money but they are too weak to resist their lusts which are always tempting and excessive. The needs of life are number one and if your needs are all met then you can gamble but remember to allocate the smallest amount of budget.

The problem is that it is very difficult for most gamblers to get out of their wrong mindset, on average what I see is that they make this gambling like a solution place to be able to double the money they bring, especially if they were initially given a win then they will definitely be addicted. So with that alone it is very clear that the cycle that always occurs in gambling is that if you win then you will be addicted and if you lose you will be curious, that's the real fact. So we really have to be vigilant because as I said, there are so many traps, so don't be careless.

That's what seems to have happened to some gamblers. When they win, they immediately think they can use gambling as a source of income. And that makes them keep trying to gamble and win a lot of money. But the reality will not be as they imagined because slowly they will experience loss which will trigger them to become emotional and instead use all their money to bet. And if their mindset has changed, that's the time for them to experience more defeats because those who just wanted to have fun have changed to wanting to win as much as possible. And that makes them gamble excessively while they can't control it and in the end, they will lose their money.

That's true because after they gamble for a while, they can win so slowly their mindset changes. Every gambler must be aware of this so that they can always control themselves so that they are not tempted by anything while they are gambling. They can win but don't use that win to continue gambling because it might just induce us to continue gambling and use more money. As long as we gamble, there will be lots of traps that will make us persist in gambling, which is what we must avoid.

That's obvious, usually addiction occurs because they are too engrossed in playing or gambling so that consciously or unconsciously they will slowly enter the addiction zone, it's a pact that has often happened. In addition, what is even more dangerous is when they feel pleasure after that they are very likely to bring the mindset that this is enough to be a solution to be able to increase their finances through some wins there, if they already assume like this it will be very dangerous and obviously there will definitely be a lot of financial problems that they experience there. True, it's like not considering that it's a loss because with just one win it's like it can cover all the losses they experience, the feeling and sensation of pleasure covers the loss, but that's just their feeling because if they do the calculation then of course the loss is still very large compared to the number of wins that will only come a few times.

Yes, the excitement will be able to stop if they are not addicted at all, meaning that their mindset is healthy and normal and really think that this is just a place to find entertainment, it is very different from those who are addicted, as you said even though they lose but it is not a problem for them and most will continue to pursue the uncertain victory. So I hope those who just came can be wise.

Yes they find it very fun and it makes them happy and yet miserable. Playing too much without managing your own emotions and having a discipline in yourself is consider not a good idea because no matter how you make a reason for it still too much can harm you and the people around you, sometimes people misunderstood that having fun and being addicted to it.

Getting fun bound with the entertainment every playing activity makes the person more addicted to those particular things. The reason why before playing a gambling casino must consider the budget do you have to make sure there's a limit in your activity, you don't need to do as a source of income gambling not as always it happen and there's a winning lets say possible but takes a lot of time and money before you achieve this. People will just stop only in making gambling if they cant get some help anymore, and cant seek money anymore. That's the time they realize they wasted a lot of money instead doing something creative that makes their life more efficient, we cant blame them its their decision its their life. Self-awareness and control is a must in playing gambling.

Do people notice the narrow boundary between innocent amusement and devastating addiction? Many assume gambling is fun and games. The thrill, excitement, and adrenaline rush are their motivation. When people become addicted, they don't recognize;

Oh, the joy of victory. It blinds them, right? They believe one large success will cover all their losses, but do they assess the loss? Rarely. I'm pleased you warned against this thinking. From there, financial trouble is imminent. Understanding that this thinking is an illusion is crucial. It's fake. Keep a check on yourself, know when to quit, and most importantly, gamble for fun, not profit.

Yes, it's true, maintaining self-control when playing is very important, even though playing with friends is just to entertain yourself, but that's not all, we also anticipate that we won't get addicted.
Your behavior and steps in stopping gambling are correct, because you are aware that if you win and gamble again you will not necessarily win again, maybe you will even lose, and the money you previously earned will all be lost, because the greed experienced by humans will just appear and he wants to earn a lot of money and this is the beginning of the destruction of someone's life.

It's not healthy anymore to play without fun. Just shows you have other intention on why you keep playing even it doesn't entertain you anymore. Recovering the losses and a goal of winning huge as you have said are indeed often the reasons for gamblers to continue what they used to. It's not right, however they will only realize the mistakes after experiencing the worst like having debts.

We can't dictate others to just gamble in moderation to avoid becoming addicted but we can apply this to ourselves. So we can play without having problems related to gambling since we're aware how gambling should be treated.

If something like that or that mindset happens to them then I honestly can't imagine what negative things will happen to them next. The fact is that no matter how much you get money from gambling it will not last long friends, gradually all the money you will deposit again at the casino when you have run out of everything, I have a colleague at the beginning of gambling he always won until the amount was very large and until he could buy a vehicle and gradually when luck was not on his side anymore then all the items he had he sold back for gambling capital and finally until his own house was sold. Now this is what is scared so if you have managed to get a win don't be happy first because it's all unfinished, luck will not always be on your side so it is very possible that one day everything you originally got will run out again. So use a healthy mindset in gambling, even though you win but still you have to think realistically in looking at gambling, being a wise and responsible gambler is better, because if you put a little hope and greed, you will definitely end up going down over time. The fun is only temporary and the fear is when you think that this is a place to make money, I think avoid at all costs.

Well and the only solution is just to bring a more rational mindset there, even though you have managed to win but I say it is not a real victory but it is very likely that it is the beginning of the trap that will befall you, when they have got luck then it is very likely that their minds will definitely be happy extraordinary and indirectly true it will be very able to change their mindset slowly. Oh yes, I see that usually new gamblers who come like to be given the win first, the casino is very smart to place traps. And after that, they will think that this place can be used as a solution to multiply their money, and well then they will definitely bring more money in the hope that the victory will also be bigger than before, and that's where their destruction begins,
defeat will always dominate, there is no more victory like before and for those who always overthink and cannot control at all, they will definitely end up in a slump.

Yeah and the best thing is stop to gamble when you not feel fun during gamble, take a break to cool down your mind, it's like don't make a decision when you're still angry. Gambling isn't the only one entertainment in this life, you can play video game, watching Netflix, hangout with your friends etc.

When the fun stops it's most ideal you as a gamble stops or take a long break and if you so desire, come back afresh. The main reason behind gambling I think should be for fun and not basically making tons of cash although that aswell is very possible, just like every other games, when you play them you play to have fun and probably while away your spare time but after then if the game is no longer giving that pleasure of fun you probably stop or takes a break after which you may continue.

The fun in gambling comes mainly when you bet on your favourite team or better still teams you know too well and know what they can be capable of at certain times and if it turns out your pick is a win you get to make money while having some fun but sadly most gamblers do the opposite, the pick teams they may know nothing about and place a guess and when it turns out against them they see no fun in it.

Whenever yo loose so we'll that you have to start chasing after your losses then you should know you are no longer having fun it's time you take a break or temporarily quit, maybe your greed has grown too high that it's causing you more losses, go get something doing and when you come back at it again you may have better mindset and strategy to play better as you are now in a better State of mind.

What if the fun never stopped? What if you keep gambling but dont have any money? Your happiness blinds you to your shrinking cash.

Its important to balance enjoyment with finances. Because while pleasure is abundant, poor money management has major implications. I like that you mentioned breaks. This gap lets you reassess your situation and consider Bitcoin or other investments. Bitcoin investing may teach, grow, and profit in the current economy, despite its volatility.

Fun shouldnt cloud your judgement or lead you into financial trouble. Fun ends when money problems start.

And if the problem worsens to the point the person cannot get entertained by other activities but gambling, then obviously that would be the time to seek for professional help.

What you said it is valid for someone who has not immersed deep enough in problem gambling, but imagine if someone who lost money and decided to cool down and get away from gambling for some days discovered he cannot feel good anymore or enjoy anything, as long as his losses stay in his mind, it is a truly sad situation to think about...

Always remember that there will always be an opportunity and there will still be tomorrow to gamble again, so you don't have to spend time gambling today, waste money and time, if you don't feel happy when you gamble, look for other hobbies and other activities that you like. can make you happy, because gambling is only one way in which we can get pleasure and there are many other pleasures that we can get.

Go on a fishing or camping holiday with your family or play football and other sports with friends to entertain yourself more with the people around us because that way we will get fun outside apart from gambling, because there is so much fun we can have out there with anyone without have to look for it in gambling.

It is very common when a person enters a game because he enters with endless emotions, many illusions and hope, taking into account that he is a relatively novice player when he enters a child, because things can experience many emotions, among These emotions can occur and you can easily get carried away by wanting to get your hopes up by saying what you are going to win, what you can do if you want to buy something special, they think that with 100usd they are going to take it to $100k, that is what sometimes I have normally seen what some people think, only when they go to a traditional physical casino, in an online casino, I think they are a little more suspicious and if they are people who do not have much skill with computers, well I think that helps them not to daydream like they do with a traditional physical car, in this order of ideas we can intuit many things, the emotions that can experience that is like when one was little and they are going to repair a bicycle, so these types of things are the that we experience or have seen some gamblers before entering a casino.

When a person has had a good streak in a casino, obviously it is a party, it is a big thing, something to celebrate, but for everything, as in any case When the money runs out, that is where the celebration ends, so in this case We as good people must accept something, that first before going to a casino we must have more money ready to lose, not multiply, because the safest thing we have when entering is to lose, because the casino is a business, and a company and obviously what the owners are looking for is to make money, not to be an NGO organization where what they do is help people, that is not the case, that is why in some cases the party ends or everything stops until the person loses their money. You earn or lose money more , and you have no Ability to continue to do so, that is What You Should avoidReaching.

It has happened to some gamblers that when they win from gambling, they will use the money to gamble again in the hope that they can win an even bigger amount of money. And there is a possibility that all the winnings will be used for gambling when he no longer has the budget for gambling that he has prepared beforehand. He can even sell the items he buys from gambling to have money that can later be used for gambling. But if he can think of having a business that he will manage and develop, maybe he can focus more on working on his business rather than gambling so that his winnings can be channeled into useful things. Or he could be a wise gambler who does not rely on gambling to make money so he will return to gambling when he wants it.

If someone can win from gambling, he can immediately stop gambling, take his winnings home, and enjoy his winnings. But what happens is that many gamblers forget to stop gambling and instead decide to continue gambling because they want a bigger win. That's what every gambler must be aware of because it means their greed has grown and they must realize it so they stop immediately. Otherwise, they will only be lured into gambling again and use their winnings. If gamblers are not aware, they will be lured into continuing to play and that is where their destruction will come. Very few will be able to win again while others will only experience many losses.

If indeed someone (gambler) has entered at such a level then well there is no other way other than maybe seeking help from professionals, but honestly I would not say that it can fully succeed because of course the reference point of whether or not it is recovered returns to the gambler, if they want to obey everything suggested by professionals then surely the chances of recovery are very large but if not then I think it will only be a waste of time. In fact everything will come back to the sincerity of themselves, the initial disease is in their wrong mindset and that can fight it all only if they try to realize that it is really useless. And even if you use professional services for this problem, the results will not be instantaneous and must go gradually.

That's right, the most dangerous and maybe it can be called addiction at the highest level if they can no longer feel any pleasure there, I have one colleague who has run out of everything and he said that even though he won but there was no sense of satisfaction or extraordinary sensation from the victory, this is what is feared, you have lost the taste. And well it doesn't hurt if you take a little time to meditate in a really quiet place to think about everything, I'm sure it can help find a decision.

The fun ends every time you lose, losing money is not much fun. But gambling players are looking for adrenaline, and it is quite possible to get it without negative consequences for your budget and emotional state. If you can’t achieve this, then of course, gambling is not for you, you need to have the courage to admit it to yourself.

I lose but still gamble because I think that this is not all about winning, perhaps we make fun of it and have some excitement. No, I was wrong as I realize that gambling too much is not fun anymore but it is just like we are chasing our losses and wanting to win. And if we are in this situation, gambling may compromise our finances and lead to suffering and regrets. And there is no fun anymore instead, we make ourselves stressed. And this is certainly be going to happen if we don't understand gambling and when we can't accept losses.

Sometimes when you lose the money,even budget pre-allocated for your gambling session normally you don't feel good,sometimes it can even sparks signs of anger at how come I lost this amount that I had allocated for gambling in such a short amount of time.If you can hold yourself calm into such situation and never looking to invest money again to gamble it means you have achieved what we call greater self control which in the long term will guarantee anyone using this as a strong defense against gambling addiction.If you cannot hold calm into such situation and you deposit more chasing your loses then you have fallen into addiction.

Gambling is actually designed to bring us fun and entertainment, and when this fun stops, that’s the time that our losses have already outnumbered our winning profits, but still we chose to continue gambling to recover our losses or to chase bigger profits in the process. When you are already in that stage, which I bet majority of the gamblers are in that situation, take a short break from gambling and do the things that will regain the fun and happiness that you are looking from gambling. By the time you will come back in gambling, maybe you become wiser on how to deal with gambling casinos.

One may start gambling for fun and some early wins then they keep playing in hopes that they will win again and experience the same good feeling. When they lose especially large losses can start a compulsive gambling cycle. If you gamble too much it becomes an addiction and it is no longer recreational. It is really difficult to get out of this situation gambling is a type of mental illness that has serious consequences. Along with economic losses, gambling causes serious deterioration of mental health.

If you posses the continuous loss in the gambling,after some loss the fun mindset for the gambler was reduced.Because he is using his own money in the gambling.At first the gambler may come to gambling for the fun,if the gambler will not have enough luck.Then the same gambling will become the real time job for the gambler.So he uses the new money into the gambling to recover the loss from the gambling.Actually if the gambler had enough luck,he can win huge money from the gambling itself.

Totally agree, gambling not only causes financial losses but also mental damage. In fact, in my opinion, if they are mentally damaged, this is more dangerous, they will start to become gambling addicts and there is a possibility that they will do anything for money and gambling.

We often see in online media that gamblers have done something illegal or ended their lives because they were unable to bear the mounting debts and damaged family relationships. When we start to stop having fun in gambling activities, it's a good idea to stop for a moment and not get carried away by emotions

To many people, they gamble because of the fun they derive from it while to many they're always gambling because they want to make money through gambling. So I think whatever might be the case, gamblers should learn when to stop gambling especially those that are good in  putting more money in gambling when they know they're losing their stakes. So in a nutshell, knowing when to stop gambling at a particular time is a very good omen.

As long as gambling continues to dangle the tantalizing words of massive wins, jackpots, or cash bonuses, the notion of making money remains enticing for some individuals. They may view gambling as a potential source of supplementary income, which, fundamentally, is a misconception.

Indeed, gambling can yield profits, but it cannot generate genuine wealth. A single substantial win cannot be deemed as legitimate wealth, for one cannot sustain a stable income through gambling. The element of luck plays a pivotal role in any game you choose.

Today might be your unlucky day, resulting in losses and frustration. On such days, any attempts to increase your funds are likely to be in vain.

Well we all know that when we have a failure that is something that will not Leave us very well Emotionally , but it is something that helps us gain experience, I personally know that the fun ends when the money is over, there is no other way, the Things are like that, unfortunately you can't continue playing in a casino when your money Runs out, Unless you Play in a demo mode, which no one does Because they don't like it, they only like games when it Comes to betting and doing it. In a big way, I could think that this type of thing can be recreated very well when we do several game sessions, if we have been winning in some game sessions, and then the Others I use them All , and if we do not run out the balance we won and the previous one, that does give a very ugly feeling, but the game is like that , Some People do it by falling into addiction and things should not be like that, if we could for a while put into the mind of an addicted player who The casino will always have the advantage that the casino will soon take your money, because one savings could not be added.

Now, when a person loses they can Experience many things on a Personal Level, Especially If They are a nervous person , it is not Recommended that they play in a casino, because obviously things can get out of control and sometimes they can go to a world where nothing matters, neither money nor what their family thinks of them or Something like that, these types of things are what we have to avoid, when we lose we must understand that it is a normal part of a player, of a casino that does not make you lose, just as winning can also be achieved, and the point is that if there were not good players, the casino or the casinos would not exist, because no one is going to have fun and leave large Amounts of money without having the option to multiply it No matter how great fun it is , it cannot be Allowed.

In fact, gamblers already know that they spend more money than they earn from gambling. It's not the promotions from the casino that attract gamblers, it's just curiosity that continues to make gamblers play and spend more money at the casino.
It is indeed difficult to quit casinos because the activity has become a habit for gamblers. there is something serious about betting every day. there are also those who do it every weekend or even once a week when they get allocated capital from their work.

I sure that almost the majority of gamblers do all that when they first enter a gambling site but in the last few years when the economy in every country has declined many new gamblers have started gambling to get profits or additional income even though in gambling there are profits that come uncertain or there is no guarantee that they will win but because of the difficulty in finding source of income they think they can easily win at gambling.

It no surprise that in this day and age pleasure is not the most important thing in gambling and you yourself must also feel the same thing namely being able to feel pleasure when you win and slowly really wanting to always be able to win until in the end you always chase it.

It not about mental singing because the difficulty of stopping is caused by desires that are always bigger than thoughts and here gamblers always have unreasonable desires namely the desire to always win and be able to change their lives from gambling.

When people think seriously about the words they see and try to get them, they will see that it is not working for them and need to end it immediately. It is a mistake if they think they can get it, especially if they see that many people have failed.

Gambling is entertainment that can also provide profits for lucky gamblers. This luck factor will not always come to gamblers, even gamblers who can win in this round will not always be able to win in the next round.

That is why you must immediately stop gambling when you have had all the pleasure. Otherwise, you will be forced to stop when all your money is used up at the gambling table. It will hurt you and cause lasting frustration.

Its interesting and touching how gaming profit is sometimes driven by silent desperation, isnt it? The human tendency to optimism, even in probable loss, is a major issue we overlook here. Its intriguing to see how humans try to make money from an uncertain activity.

Your point about gambling's pleasure being a byproduct resonates. However, does this reverse the situation? It turns enjoyment into a dangerous economic survival game.

You seem to be saying that in this perilous venture, our appetites, especially when unrestrained, exceed reasonable thought. Can a reasonable person control these inclinations to limit harm while gambling? How may mindsets change without desperation engulfing rationality?

That's right, in addition because the economy in some countries now is not good, it is difficult to find a job and the price of basic necessities is rising so high, income and expenses are not balanced and clearly more expenses than income. This situation and condition is very reasonable if we relate it to gambling, which is my belief just like you, because the economic conditions are not good now most of the gambling rates have increased and most of the people come no longer to seek pleasure but to multiply the money they bring. Honestly, I see that most of them are from the lower middle class which means that they have poor finances in their lives. I think this is quite a reasonable reason why more and more people are now gambling, on the other hand, I understand that in gambling there is a chance of winning, they are very serious in seeing this opportunity. But I think one thing they should know is that it's not really a profitable opportunity, it's just a temptation to brainwash them into continuing to gamble and hope. In gambling there are winnings but I say the chances of winning are much lower than losing and there is absolutely no guarantee that you will win.

There are some people who come just for fun but it will not rule out that then indirectly over time they do not realize that you turn the fun into a different goal that is to seek victory, especially if you have been given a few wins there then you will continue to pursue it because in addition to the extraordinary sensation you feel you will also get money from the victory. I say it's very difficult to stop if they're already in a cycle like that, their mindset is already lost there, and well that means some advice from other people will also not be too influential for them it must be clear that all they want is to continue chasing victory, so the only thing that can stop it is themselves, by slowly changing their mindset and it must also be really strong intention to stop.

The importance of limiting your budget so that when your money runs out you can stop gambling, usually people never limit their budget when gambling so that when they lose they will make deposits repeatedly to vent their emotions which are not controlled properly, that's why people here always remind beginners that When gambling, don't ever think you can beat the dealer, because casinos were created to make money for their owners, although there are also some casinos that ultimately went bankrupt too.

Don't let emotions and greed haunt your mind because that way it will be easy to make us continue to be more curious about the losses we get, always try to catch up on losses and return the lost money. The point is that before gambling, you should limit your gambling budget because it is very important as an alarm to yourself that gambling is just entertainment so don't get carried away too deeply.  ;D

So true. Just today all my Bitcoin was rekt and it's actually stressful unlike when it was just going back and forth the red and green light. It feels kind of heavy when you lose it all and that is where the fun starts to be ruined. The winning moments were absolutely fun but it's only for a short span. I made my way at doubling my balance but then I could not find a way to win again.
After that, you will start thinking about depositing one more time. And then after that, you will start to think about quitting. That's how I feel after I lost my balance today and it actually helped feel me better and not regret what I lost.
I doubt I will quit though, when I get my balance again, I might want to chase those losses and hope it will pay well this time. Although I won't go as far as losing the same amount as the last one.

If you are openly admitting to keep track of your losses and even going after them, then I must tell you: you are not being a responsible gambler.

It has been said countless times around here that gambling is supposed to be about entertainment, that none of us is supposed to chase losses, and yet you may be commiting the same mistakes thousands or hundred of thousands before you did before getting completely empty-pocketed.

If you cannot control yourself, then seek for help. It is correct thing to do before you lose more of the remaining control you have over yourself..

It's best to stop gambling before the money runs out so we don't have to deposit another amount the next day. That will reduce the waiting time for sending money and we can also save money. We can never beat the dealer because they own the business and we can only play and wait for our turn to win.

And when we can win, we must know ourselves and not chase other wins. That's why we can practice self-control so that we won't become emotional if we experience defeat. We can realize that our goal in gambling is just to have fun and not to make money. By having this awareness, we will not chase victory because by chasing victory, we have the potential to experience many losses.

And before we gamble, determine the budget. It's better to decide how much money to gamble for a week and not spend it all at once. And if you've had enough of gambling, stop immediately before another defeat comes.

Yes, it is absolutely true that gambling is used only as a means of entertainment and we should use it to play and have fun, but if we have the desire to win from gambling, of course it is impossible because not all gambling makes us win or get lucky, if we cannot control ourselves, of course we it will make the situation worse and the financial condition will become unstable, therefore we must use our money well and use the budget for gambling with limits so that the pleasure of gambling continues smoothly without having to be forced to stop because of worsening financial conditions.

That would provably the best decision to do since its so bad to us if we decide to quit once we don't have anything left since this can be emotionally and financially damaging to us. If we feel like bad lucks strike and losing streaks starting to show up then its really better for us to decide to stop the game and try our luck next time.

Its so hard to be obsessive especially on getting big gains that's why before getting greedy for huge wins much better if we know how to settle up things and to avoid became hardcore gambler so that we can checkout our winnings once we are lucky to win. To bad and stressful scenario which I believe happen to all of us where a winner chase for more wins but they end up starting to lose and now chase back to get there money back.

We know sometimes we cannot follow to our budgeting plan but we make sure that we didn't exceed on the limits which we can't afford to lose.

Quitting before the money runs out - isn't that the never-ending battle within every gambler? Your statements are accurate, don't they, like the unmistakable sound of a warning bell around the casino floor? It's a losing battle, don't you think, against the dealer, that ever-present thing that is always there and always wins?

It's like trying to recall the rules of a game when surrounded by distractions when you practice self-control instead of chasing wins, isn't it? The maxim "the goal is to have fun, not to make money" is one that, in my opinion, is frequently overlooked in the din of clinking coins and shuffling cards.

Setting a budget and a line that must not be crossed are often muddled in the heat of the moment, don't they? Oh, the wisdom of giving up before suffering another setback - it's a prescience that many of us wish we'd possessed during those pivotal times, isn't it? Still, it remains to be seen if we can actually become experts at the strategic withdrawal in the gambling warzone. Isn't that a somewhat weighty notion?

We can only try to slowly reduce our gambling activities until we finally stop gambling. It is a long journey and requires consistency from us. If we are willing to try, we can do it and reduce our gambling activities so that later, we will have no difficulty stopping gambling.

By continuing to learn to reduce gambling activities and with the self-control that we also learn, we can avoid unnecessary losses in gambling. We can also prevent ourselves from experiencing gambling addiction. Apart from that, by learning this, we can become responsible gamblers when gambling.

And if we feel we can't win after playing for a while, it's better to stop gambling than to experience more losses. We must limit ourselves to gambling to not lose a lot of money.

At least, we can see it from the number of accounts in each gambling game we play. That is if we really want to limit our gambling. But if not, we won't notice and will continue playing until the money runs out. The dealer will always win, so we don't need to try hard to win. Just enjoy the gambling game and you will be fine.

Practicing self-control is a must. Indeed, many gamblers do not remember the purpose of gambling, where gambling is for fun and not to make money. That's very normal. But we can also really limit our gambling so we don't chase winnings. We know when we have gambled enough to stop gambling before the money runs out.

You don't need to be an expert, but we can still learn everything to avoid problems. Other gamblers have experienced it, but we don't need to experience it. We determine the budget and limits.

that has been the word of many for long , but the truth is? that is almost never been the issue because admit it , if you are truly knows the gambling and engaging here, there is no such as entertainment but money making but with fun.
many gamblers mislead to that idea and being blamed because those blamer are not into gambling instead just a stupid comment delivery.
and does not understand what Lies in gambling world.
Like me that tries to believe that "Gambling Must be for Entertainment" yet ? what have I done?
made losing for how many times and can we call that Entertaining and Funny?
when you lose your 1 month payroll just because of this called entertainment purpose ?

Winning is possible in gambling, especially if the odds that we are playing are realistic but this should not be our main aim because it can cause us to be financially unstable like you said. When we feel that the fun stops when we are using money we can afford to lose. Increasing the allocation for gambling is not the solution but maybe quitting it before we go in the wrong direction.

There are still other fun activities out there other than gambling that we can do and then if we still have our jobs. It will still be enough to provide us an income. We shouldn't look for more. Money is the root of all evil like they said so we should not be greedy about it.
