I came across a recent topic where the op was saying over 80% of gamblers gamble to make money and I had to have a dip thought on that and was curious as to know if there are possibilities that people gamble just for the sake of answering the name gambler?
From my opinion, I think there isn’t any need to stake or risk one’s money on a game simply because you want to catch fun when you could simply not risk your money and still have fun while watching same game.
I don’t know if I’m really staying my points well but I wish to know if people really have to gamble without intentions of making money?

The title is definitely not the right one. I think the better one is this.

"Do people truly risk their money on bets for profit?"

It's always going to be about making money and those "bets" just for fun are those who are just trying out gambling. I think that's the reason for people trying it but avid gamblers probably want to profit and not gamble just for fun. There's definitely intention IMO.

Basically, we all have our own definitions of fun, even in the games that people play ordinarily where they can't earn real money from them. For the sake of fun, most people spend money on tools that will enable them to play video games, which, at the end of the day, they won't get any money from playing but rather derive only the satisfaction they get (fun) and spend their free time doing what they like. 
 
Using money to gamble is also part of the fun; losing is also part of the fun; and even winning is also part of the fun. If you are a gambler and you gamble all the time, win all the time, and you are certain you will always win all your games, and it happens that way, the level of excitement that each winning will give you will start to reduce the more you continue winning without losing any game and feeling the pain of losing.
 
Without going much further, I gladly tell you that both the fun and the potential winnings that could come from the game are the reasons why the gambling industry is booming today. The majority are there for what they could win out of it, and others are also there for the joy they derive from gambling.

Bets are what makes watching games become even more exciting rather than just watching it without betting just because you enjoy the game and it's your favorite one. That thrilling feeling you'll get on whether or not you're gonna win the bet is what makes your watching experience fun and exciting. But of course, that all depend on the person on how he wants to  enjoy the game. Some people doesn't like gambling and some does.
When a person wants to gamble, one of the primary intention is always to make money while having fun all at the same time. However, things could turn the other way around if luck doesn't want to choose your side.

Some people risk gambling to make money, while others gamble just for fun. If you want to gamble, only use the money you can afford.
That is the key to gambling so you don't gamble too much. We know that gambling is only for fun and not to earn or make money.
If that had been our goal in gambling, we would not have used a lot of money. You can continue gambling as long as you can enjoy the gambling game sufficiently. But if not, you should start reducing your gambling activities.

Thought as much and thanks for the suggestion as most times, tittles are difficult to generate and that’s why I go straight to passing my message before getting a suitable title for it.

And I also agree with you that those who gamble for fun are those who are trying gambling out and not the other way round.

I get your point mate and I also agree with you that we all have our definitions of fun but in this context, we’re talking about betting and gambling and for anyone who sakes money on a game they can watch and still have fun without betting is solely doing so to earn money.

Most people are usually like that they gamble to make money and I think the percentage is greater than just for fun. This doesn't mean that people who enjoying gambling don't want to make a profit, but rather that they have fun while looking for a profit.
Actually, gambling can make money if you can use it well and use accurate skills, but yes, this is not easy because most people experience losses even though they have used their skills, so to be honest, most people bet to make money under the pretext of just having fun.

The intention to make money will always be there but there's also the fun part where entertainment like sports will be enhanced because you put some money on the line.

Let's give it an example.
Watch a basketball game without any bet? Sure, it will be fun watching the game especially if you players lob the ball for an alley-oop dunk. That will be awesome.
Now try to put money for that team who will do the alley-oop. I bet you will jump on your seat not because of the talent they showed but because they made two points that will help you get near to win the bet that you made and it will also boost the energy of his teammates to play better.
The game becomes "great" from "good". I mean, if you are a fan of basketball it will always be a fun and entertaining game but adding some spice into it will change something. And that's sports gambling.
But don't misunderstood it, we do play for fun but we also have the goal to win, money comes first of course and that's why we try to analyze the game up to the smallest details to enhance that winning chance.

I think most people gamble for money, not many gamble just for fun, especially if they gamble online

Nobody likes losing, this applies to anything, not just gambling. I think, although there are people who gamble for fun, they won't be happy if they lose. If he loses often, then he should stop gambling because there is no fun anymore, but if he continues to gamble then he is gambling for money, he is chasing his losses.

So I agree that most people gamble for money, not for fun. I think the figure is more than 80%, maybe more than 90% but this is just my opinion, I don't have any data

People can enjoy the game by just watching it (and not betting on it) or people can also get entertained by playing non-gambling games (that have even better graphics) but still people gamble and bet, why ? Because the intention is to make money through betting or i would say an easy money through betting.

The craze of gambling is so high because you do not have to do any hard work in order to gamble. Just you need to gamble or bet by putting your money and in case you win, you will get the easy money. This means that if you have money, you can bet. Money makes money.

However, the dark side of gambling is that it is risky and these 80% of the people who come to bet in order to make money, most of them usually only lose at the end of the day.

Only rich people can afford these types of fun. For them betting is like another source of spending fun time. Yes but the middle class people cannot afford these. They gamble in order to earn some extra money and take huge risk in each and every step. So the reason of gambling can vary from people’s bank balances. Now regarding the question asked by the OP, then yes majority of the gamblers gamble in order to make profits in shorter period of time. Hence they risk their money on bets for profit.

It would be wrong to say that they risk money greedily, but they usually risk money with the expectation of profit. Before gambling, our thoughts of greed come before our thoughts of profit. Every gambler decides to gamble thinking that they will make money by gambling.  That is, the objective of a gambler is to make money, after making a profit, when the gambler expects more from gambling and takes high risks in such gambling, then we can consider that as greed, but the next step of profit is greed. From our childhood we have come to know that excessive greed never gives us anything good, big excessive greed robs us of good things. In one gamble I won and won a lot of money but later gambled again with more money but the result is not likely to come in my favor still I took this risk only out of greed then how rational is it for me to take this risk. Before making these greedy decisions, we must think about how greedy we are and how much greed is right for us.

Those are different kinds of fun. Watching a game without making a bet can be fun too, but it is not the kind of fun that one experiences when there's money at stake. There's not much adrenaline and the thrill is not as high if you're just watching.

If you're just watching a game, your team could just lose. You don't care as much. You won't lose anything anyway. But if you are betting on them. They have to win. You're risking something after all. You cheer much harder. You are more affected in a game where you have a bet than if you don't have. You will definitely celebrate more whenever your team makes a point if you have a stake than if you don't have.

In my opinion, every gambler always wants to make a profit in their gambling activities. Because this is the basic trigger why people want to gamble. Because if, for example, gambling does not have the potential to make money, then it is certain that not many people will enter the realm of gambling.
But even though we seek profits in gambling, we definitely still get pleasure. Whether it's from feelings or when hanging out with friends at a gambling place (offline). But what is clear is that gambling is fun. So here I will draw the conclusion that gambling can be as fun as it is now, namely because there is the potential to make a profit. So my answer is related to your question, mine is not.

Because if for example we gamble without any desire or intention to make money, then what do we want in gambling? because basically gamblers can have fun because they make a profit. So, for example, if you gamble without the intention or desire to make a profit, in my opinion gambling will be very empty. Because you don't have a clear goal. Even if, for example, you intend to gamble just for fun, I don't think it will satisfy or please you. You can try, and prove it.

Most gamblers gamble their money for profit, and some for fun. Because not everyone expects money from their gambling, there are gamblers who think that gambling can make them feel the thrill of playing and it can improve their mood. They usually gamble with money they are prepared to lose and they don't care about winning or losing money - the most important thing is that they can feel the excitement of gambling, because gambling without money is no fun.

If based on what actually happens then the answer is correct, most gamblers take risks by risking money for profit and this is the goal of most gamblers out there.
If it were not for the purpose of profit, it would be impossible for many gamblers to become addicted, experience financial problems and really think they could change their lives from gambling and not just about having fun because the percentage of gambling just for fun is still very small.
Moreover, it can be seen that every gambler wants profits and profits in gambling are one of the achievements they want and hope for, but they will get various problems if they prioritize profits alone.

Gambling without using money is not gambling, period. Gambling is often talked about as entertainment or fun but without using money it would not be the same, the emotion of winning or losing is what makes it fun (as long as it is played responsibly, otherwise it can become a drama).

When people bet, everyone wants to win money, the problem is people who bet on non-skill games and think that they are a good way to earn money in the long term or people who play skill games without putting in the dedication, study and effort required to make money.

It mostly varies on an individual's goal, but not everyone gambles just to make money. Although, many gambles to make money or for financial gain, while for some, they gamble just for fun and entertainment. There are also some gamblers play as a way of escape from their stress or simply socialize with others.

If I gamble without zero intentions to make any money, they I should as well go fishing or go swimming. Whenever our monies is staked on something even if it we meant to have fun, we expect that we should at least win something. There is always. An intention to win and anyone who tells you otherwise isn't being honest with you.
Even when I use 1% of my income to gamble and thisnia money I can afford to lose, I still expect to win.

I equally agree with you when privilege people use gambling as another source of spending fun time while less privileged takes betting has an alternative means of get more money, I strongly believe that almost 90% of gambler are gamble to make more money because some see it as free and easy money, only few of them work harder to get the money they use in playing game and those are the only ones that view it not to be free money because they know how they source the money they used, some of them don't work for the money they are using sometime they collect it from family and friends and I think the main purpose is to make more money from there,

Do you really don't know the difference between as a player and as a watcher? everyone are excited to try anything that they see especially when it comes to entertainment, they want to feel the experience.

If someone don't feel fun while watching, you can't force them to feel fun by watching someone else gambling.

You can only wishing, but it's useless since other people will keep gamble to make money.

I think you are mixing things up here. Gambling for fun doesn't mean they are not interested in making profits while gambling but it implies that one should not be so emphasize on the money making aspects. If you prioritize profit in gambling, you will definitely get disappointed at the end. Firstly, you will lose your money which can not be recovered again and Secondly, you will be depressed.

This is why it's recommend to gamble with amount that one can afford to lose so you can enjoy the fun and entertainment. Generally, gambling itself is an avenue designed to risk something and get something in return. On this note, the initial intention is to have some fun with your money and probably get some profit in return but unfortunately, majority of gamblers now focus on the profits side which is the reason we have addicts suffering from one challenge to other. So, yes, people actually gamble without the intention of making money but mainly for fun. There are games we play some times and from the beginning we know it won't bring us any profit but we still play it to enjoy the moment.

Of course, most gamblers want to win or profit from their gambling activities. That's a normal thing, but the difference is, there are those who like to chase losses and there are those who still control their finances and accept their losses. These two differences will lead to different results in the end, those who like to chase losses will become addicts and those who accept losses will be fine.

So far I have never met anyone who gambles but doesn't want money or profit, everyone wants to win and of course they gamble to double their money.

It's always going to be about money, everyone gambles because of money, fun is just another part that matters but it's not the main reason why we gamble, there are responsible gamblers and irresponsible gamblers, one needs to pick a side.

---

Since gambling is a very difficult game and not always easy to make money from, many turned it into a fun game and they risk small money only, if it's easier to make money in gambling many would accept that they are gambling for money only.

It's hard to beat the casino, that's why many turn gambling into a entertainment station, I am a responsible gambler because I know it's almost impossible to win the casino, and I don't want to get wrecked by the casino that's why I risk very small money.

Certainly yes. Even though the intention of a gambler at first is for entertainment, they will eventually get to the point where they will want more, as either they have a taste of winning or they experience great loss. Having a taste of winnings will make a gambler hunger for more; they will eventually expect more money or profit from it to the point that they will rely only on gambling, and that's when the worst happenings may come. Experiencing a great loss at first could make them risk more money as they will want to recover their losses. They will come to the point where it is too late for them to get back from gambling because of the amount they have lost, meaning they have a regret that nags them to gamble more because they need to recover the amount of money they have lost in gambling. These two scenarios can eventually make them suffer from gambling, from fun to suffering.

Gamblers who say they gamble to get pleasure do not mean they have no intention of making a profit from gambling so they gamble carelessly, it's just that whatever results they get don't affect their enjoyment or their mental state so they will try to catch up if they lose and continue playing if they win because of gambling overpowering them.
I try to analyze matches carefully so that I can make a profit from sports betting, but that doesn't rule out the opportunity to lose, but the losses I get can still be accepted well, I have no desire to recover the money I have lost and will only return to playing when the funds used are still within the limits which are made.

This is the lie some people tell themselves in order to feel relieved when they lose money in gambling; it is a form of reversed psychology mechanism that leverage on self denial.

Gambling is never fun unless to those who are addicted to gambling because it is only addiction that can make one derive fun from losing money. Gambling is business with the sole purpose being to make money.

Sometimes the economy hardship of a country can cause members to do something they never believed they could went through, one of the means is in finding survival through the means of playing bets in gambling, they don't mind taking the risk at all cost, while you can only discover that only few engage in gambling for sun and not minding the way they may loose to gambling or not, everyone has his own intentions either for making money or fun, but that doesn't change wether we clare taking the risk or not whenever we are gambling, it's either we loose or win.

I think this really depends on the personality of a person. Some people enjoy watching sports games and would never think about betting money on these games. Then there are people that are looking for more excitement and thrill and willing to bet on every game they watch. And then there is the category of gamblers that believe they have an advantage over others and want to make a profit from their bets. Most of us will likely be a mix of all those. Personally I am not going to bet on every match that I watch, but I find it more interesting if money is involved. Especially on big tournaments where the champion is not directly clear in the beginning, it's very exciting to have some longer lasting bets. People who follow their sports a lot and have deep insights can definitely make money from it, but I don't think it's 80%.

Yes you can gamble because you just want to have fun. Normally nobody like losing even if you are staking small amount of money. But as you stake small amount of money that you can afford to lose, that means you are not using gambling as a source of income although you will not like to lose but to win. You will see gamblers like that, that are staking small amount of money. So these gamblers fall under the category of gambling for fun.

Well, that is really what gambling is, money is always involved just like that car racing movie that placed her girlfriend as a bet for the race that was still considered gambling as it risk something or someone from the competing team. I maybe wrong to call it desperate for us to get the winning but that is what we really are trying to target and why do we have to wish for something that goes against us most especially that means losing money right?

That's how gambling is so yes, people do truly risk their money on bets to get a profit, I mean isn't gambling inherently risky so what's the confusion that caused this thread to be created? Although I'd like to believe what you've said to be true, I don't think that it's 80%, is there like some survey that this person has done that has made them arrive at that conclusion? I don't think so because it's too accurate of a percentage.

80% is too small, it is nearly 100% gamblers are taking a risk on gambling to make money. It is hard or maybe it is impossible to find gamblers who do gambling for fun only without any intention to make money. The statement "gambling for fun" is just an additional statement for gamblers to control themselves and to minimize the chance of getting addicted. If there are some people who claim themselves to gambling for fun only without any intention to make money, just call them BS :)

In my opinion, the goal of just making money is a gateway to loss. because even though in gambling there is a chance to win, it doesn't mean we can get it easily, it also doesn't mean we have to chase that win, because chasing that win can make us lose a lot of money and if we do get a win, I don't think it's possible to win. cover the many losses due to frequent defeats. You also have to remember that gambling is a game that is provided to generate profits for the company, not the people who play it.

and even though there are people who gamble with the aim of having fun, I think they also want to win in the gambling they do, because the main reason for gambling is to win, after all, who doesn't want a profitable win? I think all people who gamble definitely want to win, but we shouldn't risk a lot of money on gambling, it's not recommended at all. and in my opinion it is true that the percentage of people who gamble to make money is greater than the percentage of people who gamble not to make money.

Any gambler who is gambling just for the sake to be called a gamber is gambling under the effect of peer pressure, and obviously has the money to waste.

Some gamblers will only enjoy a game and have fun when they have some kind of bet on it. The bet and money they have staked gives them some extra thrill that is fun for them. It will be hard for someone who is used to the thrill in gambling when they bet, to suddenly stop and try to enjpy games without betting, it is much easier for a person who does not gamble or gamble too often to do.

The "play for fun" option are actually just there for people to try out a game to see if they want to risk their own money to play it. It is also a feature that the the casino are using to entice people to play the game for real money.

I sometimes think the "play for fun" option are using a totally different "seed"... because I tend to win more, playing for free.. than what I am winning when I play it with my own money.  ::)

It is still a fun way to "test" the game and to learn the features that it offers.  :P

How can people present that around 80% of people gamble for money, this data is valid or just analytical calculations, I do believe that more people gamble because they want to make money, but 80% may not be high enough, because people gamble nowadays. want to make a lot of money, maybe around 90%, because that makes more sense, more and more people are addicted to gambling every day and more and more people want to gamble every day because they want to make quick profits.

Talking about wanting to make a profit and having fun is different because the mindset of most rich people gambles to have fun while poor people gamble to make a profit so if asked Do people really risk their money on bets for the sake of profit? back to the mindset, for example there are also poor gamblers like me who gamble just for fun so it's not for profit, but that doesn't mean I don't want money, everyone likes money, but don't put that first priority, pay attention It's true that gambling is a place to have fun, that's why casinos create lots of games there. one more thing we will not be able to win against the dealer.

Risking money in the hope of profits is a normal thing that do not even call for discussion because that is what we do everyday. Every investment is with the hope that it will government some profits and as you know, there is no investment without some form of risk. So taking risk for profit is right and  people who "do not gamble" also do it.

What I find difficult understanding is if people do risk their money on bets just for fun. This has never and will never make sense to me.

Is it just me, or am I not understanding what exactly the OP is trying to say? Of course, money is a vital part of gambling; we're not expecting to make a living through it, nor are we anticipating it to become a secondary income flow. It is an entertaining activity, but no one plays solely for the sake of "playing for fun" without involving the money aspect. If that were the case, then I doubt if anyone would be interested in playing, because that couldn't be called gambling without the aspect of money and high returns; that's what gambling promises, but not everyone gets it.

I would say that both responsible gamblers and irresponsible gamblers are in search of money through gambling. This does not mean that the irresponsible gamblers are playing for money while the responsible gamblers are gambling for  fun, this does not work this way. In fact 80% of the gamblers are those who are in search of financial games from gambling.


I agree that making money from gambling is not as easy as it seems but how can you say that the gambling games are difficult?  None of the Gambling games are difficult and even the newbie and the one who haven't been gambling can easily gamble on the gambling side and there is no tricks or tips or technicalities involved in the gambling games.



Yes, beating the house and beating the gambling houses is simply out of the question, but what a gambler should focus on is to make small wins, risk less capital and make sure that when by the end of gambling he is in overall profit and not in a net loss or an overall loss. Some people do make some jackpot wins And due to this reason, the people are attractive to gambling's because it can change your life if you are lucky enough.

There are a whole lot of reasons why people gamble and I think the major reason is to make profit, the betting company on their own end would want to advertise that if you're a good predictor, they are capable of giving you good amount of money based on what you predicted and if your predictions are correct, they pay you. So most people go for winning the big price and that is basically for profit making.
You can as well see gambling as cashing fun, because you use a certain percent of your money to stake, more like trying your look to see if it will shine. If you can just watch the game and you do not stake it then means you are not a gambler, for you to be called a gambler, you must involve yourself in betting and predictions.

Watching a game without risking anything is different from when you risk your money and you gamble for entertainment. You brain release feel good chemical that'll increase the intensity of the game called dopamine, it's the dopamine that causes your gambling addicted when you can't control the way you gamble. It'll make you to want to stake money regardless of if you're making profits or not. There are many individuals that're gambling just to get the feel good feeling and it's mostly the rich individuals.

Most poor individual don't gamble just for entertainment but they gamble to make money as they see gambling as a means to make more money. Every individual is different therefore as you're gambling to make money, don't blame them for gambling for entertainment. Some of them have enough money that they don't know what to use them for therefore gambling for entertainment is what they do.

People gamble for all sorts of reasons. Sure money is one motive but plenty do it for the sheer thrill, the social aspect or just to have a good time. Some enjoy the strategy involved in games and for others it's a way to unwind or escape for a bit. So it's not just about making money like it's a mix of emotions, socializing and entertainment that draws people in

This is correct perspective for me. There’s a lot of available games which you can get same entertainment without any involvement of money. Gambling without money involved is just a regular game. People enjoy gambling because of the potential for the risk they are taking. It’s impossible to enjoy gambling without considering having profit because it’s just a regular game that you can find on every game center apps.

For me, I’m gambling with the intention to make money. There’s nothing wrong with it since that’s the reality. It’s only wrong if you rely solely on gambling to generate income instead of doing a job that will give you consistent profit without any risk involved.

We all play in casinos for fun and the main thing: tryng to win some money, otherwise it's better to just play on a PlayStation / Xbox video game.

If I'm not mistaken, most casinos have a way to play without betting, that is, just to play, if you like it you can use it like that, just for fun.

You're a hypocrite if it never crossed your mind to make money off of gambling.

Most of the gamblers I know are in it for the money, and not for the entertainment that other people seek. It's possibly because they saw other people making money off it, and they want to be in a similar position to escape their boring day jobs or just make money doing something that they think is easy.

They truly risk their money, in the false hopes of making more than what they originally staked for.

it should be like that. but in reality, there will be more gamblers who bet with their money for profit. maybe I also feel something like that, maybe for fun. but our hope is more to gain than to lose.
The most important thing is that if you lose if you lose, you don't feel stressed and very disappointed with the results of your bet. then you enjoy gambling even though the target is still the desire to win. What is clear is that don't make that desire an ambition. otherwise, it will only mess up your bet.

It's obvious that the objective of people to gamble is to ensure that they have win gambling or make money through gambling, secondly, they don't gamble because they are catching fun, but that's capital lie, the essence of people to gamble is to make money through gambling not because of catching cruise, I gamble both casino and soccer predictions kind of gambling but my aim to gamble is to make money not to waste my money in the name of catching cruise or fun, I do that because I want to straighten up, so I have knowledge that gambling is about risk neither you lose or gain in gambling.

It cannot be denied that some people who are in the world of gambling, among others, have the aim of seeking profit and multiplying their wealth. However, no matter how good you are at gambling and no matter how good you are at making an analysis, this is not a guarantee that every time you gamble and place a bet, you will win. And what you do and what you try to do when playing gambling is just to increase the chances of winning.

Getting a win in gambling is of course a hope for everyone who joins the world of gambling and bets in it. However, when seeking profit becomes the main focus when gambling, the opposite will happen, where the gambling will only result in losses. So it is quite important to gamble appropriately and within certain limits. And gambling should be considered a form of entertainment and played with the aim of sensation and pleasure.

You can never get the same experience you get from casino games on games you play on Xbox - there’s a feeling you get when you’re logged into your account and placed a bet waiting for the result, sometimes you get some hormones rush through your blood and that brings out the excitement we feel despite losing (in the case where you just deposit and you ain’t expecting anything big from that session).

While for the demo - it can never be the same as original game, sometimes you’ll just keep experiencing wins than losses that sometimes drive people to make deposits so it’s not the same experience.

That's not very true. No one is happy when you lose money in gambling. The real enjoyment of gambling is when you win. Simply placing bets without expecting to win anything won't give you the same excitement. Especially, if you have a high expectation with your game. If you hope to win a large sum of money and end up losing all your funds without any wins, it can be extremely disappointing. In such a situation, gambling won't be fun at all.

If you're staking your money with a chance to make money of course you'll wish that you can make money, whether it's an investment or gambling, if there's a possibility to make money we'll take that, we all need money, money sustain our needs.
If your favorite restaurant offers a contest or a cash giveaway for their customers, you're going to participate and hope that you win the contest or cash giveaway, it's part of our being human, we just want to get rewarded when we are putting in something valuable.

Although there are exceptions, there are chronic gamblers who just want to play for the sake of gambling, even if they win a lot of money and they have everything or even if they lose everything and they have no more money to gamble they will find a way because some gamblers are playing for the sake of playing, these are chronic gamblers, they don't care about money only the challenges of gambling.

I don't understand what you mean by betting to answer the gambler's name, because what I know is that every time we gamble we definitely hope to win so that they make money.

Basically, people bet to win, even though in reality there are many people who actually suffer losses. If you gamble just for fun then whether you lose or not is not a big problem.
It is impossible for people to bet without the intention of making money, the difference is that people who bet for fun have much better control, compared to people who bet to win.

Well, that's the point of gambling. That's even in the definition of gambling

So it's kinda bizarre to gamble if you don't really aim to win a profit from it. Cause if it's not the profit that you want and you just want to entertain yourself, there's a lot of other entertainment out there without the need of risking or betting your money. Yeah, I get the point that you also gamble for entertainment but aside from that, there's also a hope of winning for the money.

Some people are okay with losing their money because it's just their extra money and they can afford to lose it. But it doesn't mean that they also have no intention of winning, right? It's like as a gambler, you gamble for the two main reasons:
1. Profit
2. Entertainment
It just depends on some gamblers what matters to them the most. But definitely these two are always the factor.

Staking, investing, and gambling go beyond profit. About game comprehension. Strategy, risk management, and occasionally loss are needed, not just hope. What about chronic gamblers? You say it's not about money? Correct, but don't romanticize. It's an obligation and a psychological risk. Now it gets real: it's not just a game for them; it's a never-ending loop that requires intervention, not appreciation

It's more than desiring more when we talk about money, staking, or gambling. You must know when and how to pursue it. Chronic gamblers struggle to break the cycle, not the game. We're people, but part of being human is recognizing when something controls us and taking action to reclaim it

Truly there are people who risk their hard earned money to gamble so as to make profit I believe this is very common in countries where there is lack of employment opportunities for the youths thus they reverted to soccer matches betting to make end met and obviously they are making some decent money for their daily upkeep, many of them has in-depth knowledge about soccer leagues across Europe thus makes it easier for them to pick matches and stake with small fund which provide succour to them and daily bread and in those places they don't gamble for fun rather play bet to survive.

It is normal that most people gamble to make money.The logic is simple as people who play slots with max wins multiplier of x10.000 are surely not going to risk the money for fun there,they are there with a super crystal clear intention which is to make more money or to multiply the initial balance.I personally go to gamble for the same logic,I have 100 dollars and risk them to make them 1000 or more through gambling.Is it easy?Absolutely not as the odds are always against us so we should go to gamble the money we have allocated for gambling and be happy with whatever result because as I said the odds are against us.

I mean for sure, a huge part of gambling is to make a profit for the most part, And we can't really call it gambling anymore if money is not involved so that just means that money is a part of gambling, and if we are going to involved or risk money in gambling that just means that we are also expecting to earn a profit from it, you don't really want to risk your money without really expecting anything on return. It was just like throwing money anyway, any doesn't really going to make any sense right?

There are probably people who just gamble for entertainment but I think it wasn't like all for entertainment, It was because entertainment was the main goal but it doesnt mean that the gambler doesnt want to win some profit for sure, that just means that he just like to get entertain more than earning, There are times that I gamble just for entertainment I put up some amount like 30$ that I dont really care if I win or lose just for entertainment and make it interesting but if still who doesnt want to win and earn the reward.

If you are directly saying that some gamblers don't gamble to make money then I would say you are completely wrong. There are different sports to be taken as fun or different roads so why people take maximum risk of their money for fun. Maximum risk of money is taken because the gambler wants to make money by gambling. Gamblers may profitably take gambling as fun. You tell a gambler to lose at regular gambling and try to find happiness in him after losing at regular gambling hopefully you won't find his fun in gambling at all. A gambler is happy and enjoys gambling only when he keeps winning in gambling, without profit the gambler is always upset.

The thing is, staking the money is the thrill that the fun is representing. Without it, gambling simply wouldn't be gambling. Now there's a difference between gambling to have fun vs gambling to profit though. While on paper, they're both playing while staking their money, one side is relying on the result to determine an external factor outside of the "fun" part, while the other doesn't. They differ in terms of what they encompass so to speak.

They may both gamble with the intention of making money but whatever comes after that part makes the two types of gamblers differ from each other. One side is expectant on having something after it (aka the money they "can" win), the other is well, just done with playing. If they win, then yay, is what they'd probably feel I guess. Except ofc if they win big. Anyone, regardless of whether their goal was to get rich or not, would absolutely go crazy if they win it big.

Gamblers will enjoy gambling only when they have a lot of winnings. When gamblers lose a lot of money they are in depression due to which they have to make some wrong decisions and face huge losses to recover the lost money.  However, we should not be overly greedy while gambling, if we win a little money, we should stop gambling.

Technically speaking human want to enjoy every life. So even a gambler or not we seek some fun but most of us  saw their fun in gambling which is pretty sure around the world most people know already in gambling but we have different ways to handle it. Cause some of us are aiming for the profit and risk some of Their money  In order to have some profits but some us are gamble just for fun only one there's no wrong if they are loss or win as long as they felt happy on what they do then that's okay.  And nowadys gambling industry are getting bigger and bigger.

The fun experience and trill that comes with watching a game that you have bet on, is always very different compared to that that comes with watching a sports match you have no bet on.
In other words, what I am saying is that, the fun and excitement from games we bet on is far much more different than the fun and excitement that comes with games we have no bet on.

So by the above, it's easy to understand why most people or gamblers place bets, and still go on to watch the match, this sometimes might not have anything to do with the money they stand to make if their bet won,. Or the money they lose if their bet loss, but overly, most people stil gamble for the sake of making profit, and not particularly for the fun experienced in doing so.

I have been gambling for quite a long time, and until now the gambling I have done has not produced any financial profit at all, in fact I am the one who continuously spends my budget to continue gambling and trying to enjoy it. . And it turns out that when gambling is not managed well, let alone being able to gain financial benefits, getting pleasure from playing can sometimes be quite difficult. because when gambling exceeds a person's readiness limit to lose the amount of money at stake. The possibility that gambling will only cause losses and regrets can make me a little frustrated.

And my message is, gamble wisely and within reasonable limits, gambling is not a way to make money but gambling is a way to throw away our money for nothing. Therefore, control your gambling as best as possible, so that you don't experience what I experienced, namely experiencing losses that I was not ready to bear. And I am currently still trying to manage the gambling that I do as well and wisely as possible.

I recently staked some FUN, so whenever I wanna bet now, I try to do so in accordance to the calculation I made, allowing for the worst possible scenario to be the break-even one, after I get my earnings from staking. Been working so far and I'm even in plus since I managed to hit a few parlays, I just pray the streak can be maintained. 

There could be a side of 'fun' in relation with thrilling experience. Some sort of how adrenaline works to some people. A sensation of overcoming something which made you feel nervous and that could be another side of gambling which entertains people. However, if it is for a particular thing which pushes people to gamble then it is for sure profit. Correct analogy, why would someone bet for fun only if there are other ways to be entertained? Activities to enjoy? Profit distinguishes gambling from other activities. Unfortunately, this is also the reason why many gamblers are getting addicted into it.

Is there someone who doesn't want to get rich? It happened that such feat could be given or earned from gambling activities but no matter how you look at it, that's just a tendency and will never be guaranteed no matter what strategy you are using. It would only be determined by your luck and chance. People are way too hopeful with gambling which makes them disregard the possibility of losing.

If not risking the money for profit, then what else is it for? Only few people play for fun and even those few gamblers in this category still play with the hope of making profit too, but the difference here is that they are not wholly dependent on the profits they will make from gambling to survive but are good with whatever result that they get, win or not.

Of course, almost everyone wants to make a profit from gambling games, but you need to know that to have fun, you don't just waste money on it, but if we lose, we don't get carried away and we get satisfaction in the game, meaning that we don't have to focus. in winning which causes us to waste too much money, just for the sake of winning, do it with pleasure if you are not lucky at least you will get satisfaction

I agree with your statement.

I also think that the title is misleading as the thread focuses more on the risks that are associated with gambling using their respective funds.

Anyway going back to the topic, it really depends on the perspective of the person on how he/she views gambling as an activity or as a money-making venture. Naturally, people who view it as a form of entertainment has more control over their emotions as they are not compelled to make any profit.

Regardless of the situation, whether they win or they lose, what matters is that gambling satisfies their urge to feel the adrenaline. On the other hand, if a person sees gambling in order to make extra income, then they are necessarily compelled to win. There is this pressure for them to make a profit which somehow landslides to a series of bets until they incur a profit.

Many gamblers are being thrilled if they will bet more, and they are also having fun with it while risking their money. I think those who say that they gamble for fun are still in denial that they are into gambling. Well, if you can’t afford the risk then push it because you can be broke and you might regret it, just gamble what you can afford to lose then you can still feel that excitement even if you lose money.

Perfectly said and a lot of people also have to shy away from the truth that no matter how much fun and entertainment they claim to have, without winning, the entertainment and fun isn’t complete and to me, I believe the true fun and entertainment in gambling comes when there is a win.
Most times, most people don’t really feel it when they loss a bet but maybe that’s because they have more than enough and they also staked only the amount they can afford to loss and that’s why it is always advisable to gamble with only the amount we can afford to loss and not chase after this losses when they come.

N/B : There is fun in gambling but I think this fun is more when the winning is also more.

The gambling industry have been able to ride on the growing gambling trend coupled with the use of famous people for their adverts. People sure have a lot of fun when they gamble or place a bet. Anyone who has ever had a conversation with another gambler about their bet slips would know what I am talking about. And the fun is even visible when they are watching the game they bet on. The thought of a potential win is mentally and emotionally stimulating so that even if there is a loss, they would still want to place another bet again.

You have put it very well. There will always a higher percentage of gamblers who do it for the money rather than for the fun of it. If you look at those who are compulsive gamblers, you will see that those people are they who are more focused on the money-making aspect of it than on the fun part. In this group of people, there is an overlap of gambling to make money and gambling for fun.

When you bet, you are already risking your money since the outcome is not under your control. It's a guessing game; when you are correct, you'll make money, and if you are wrong, you'll lose money. I don't think we are talking about profit here since that word is typically used by serious gamblers who take a long-term approach. The appropriate term for what we practice is to win, and most of those are just short-term wins. Regardless, we are still happy when we win, and we don't account for our previous losses anymore since we are just gambling for fun, at least for most of us.

Profit or win is just a term to describe that your bankroll increase. It depends on your perspective to set a distinction on both words but they are the same to me. You will get profit when you win or you win because you are in profit. They are connected to each other in a sense.

I think the OP is describing whether there is player that gambling that doesn’t consider winning/to gain profit when gambling which I find it very rare unless the gambler is a billionaire that already have sufficient money but we all know that human has no limit when it comes to earnings.  :D

Everything about gambling is risky whether we are aware about that not. Since risk is involved then we must be very conscious our we bet so that we don't use all our funds to bet and end up losing big as a result of carelessness. Many GG gamblers have the ideology of using small amount of what they have to bet so that they can win more with time and sometimes things might not come our way the ways we we expected it that is why we must always keep extra funds ina safe place so that if we don't win, we can use the remaining money to go get ourselves something chill and relax for the day preparing for yet another time to gamble.
Gambling need to be flexible or else we would be making mistakes over and over again without getting a good result.

No gambler risk money just to be known as a gambler, they all gamble with the aim of winning or have fun or more likely to be seen as entertainment as many others may have it to say, if you are gambling just to be referred to as a gambler the. I think you don't ha e a good reason why you are gambling as it will seem to me like you are just acting on peer pressure which shouldn't be, you should gamble for a reason if you must and such reason should mostly be that you intended to make money gambling or you are going to be gambling just to get entertainment.

There are people who actually gamble without the intention to make money but I don't think there's any who gambles with the intention to just gamble and not to make money or even have fun at least.

I am not sure to say that it's about 80% of gamblers that have taken gambling as a means of earning money, but I am quite sure that there are a high number of gamblers who handle gambling as a side hustle, a definite way of making money and supporting their financial lives.

If you remember vividly about a thread I created some months ago where my friend requested that I teach her gambling so that she can start to earn money, To her, she already believes that gambling is a way to earn money without realizing the losses that come with it. I also wondered how people who taught her that gambling was a means of earning money would handle their gambling lifestyle. 

I don't dispute the fact that gambling doesn't also give us the opportunity to win some money while gambling and having fun, but the truth is that gambling is not a sustainable way of making income because it can be addictive and can cause someone to lose money unnecessarily. 

I have seen some people gamble at all times, specifically for the purpose of making money, and I have also seen people who gamble only on occasions for the purpose of having fun. It all depends on what the person wants. 

It is difficult to define whether it is true that most gamblers only gamble to make a profit or make extra money whereas until now there has been no confirmed statistics that 80% is true.

from my opinion, even though we gamble just to have fun, like playing video games, but of course we want to win in every game and it's impossible if we play video games, we only want to accept defeat and on the one hand, we gamble using money and what is it when gamblers who are having fun want to getting a win is also a gambler who wants to make money?
well, from here I say my opinion that there is no hypocrisy in gambling because all gamblers want to win even if it's just for fun, but that doesn't mean they can be considered as gamblers who want profit.
and I think no one wants to lose money quickly so gamblers who have fun definitely also want to win at least a few times in each spin.

In conclusion, not all gamblers bet for profit but all gamblers want small wins to maintain their budget.

Of course there's no such gambler. You are doing everything for a reason and if it is with gambling then it could either be for entertainment or profit purposes, or a combination of two. Rich individuals are more often to be ones who are just killing time in this industry. They could lose big amounts for us but for them, those are tolerable.   And there are gamblers who are seeking to win big amount to get rich or to have a better life but that won't happen easily as we are all aware of. On the other hand, people or gamblers who are here for fun and profit are the ideal ones. They would bet decent amounts with limitations. They want to earn profit indeed but have never though of becoming rich just because of gambling.

There's really nothing wrong of any purpose you are having as long as you are not being problematic of your gambling career. There'll be times you are winning and times you would lose. If you manage to accept this concept then it is not impossible for you to balance your gambling habits and expenses, which should be everyone's practice especially for the new ones out there.

If they don't stake or risk their money, the game isn't going to be fun anymore. The fun consists in risking money, because it plays with variables and impacting outcomes for their lives. If there isn't money at stake, to lose or win won't make any difference at all, as it's not going provoke consequences, therefore, thrill, excitement and adrenaline won't be felt by the gambler.

A similar example could be a competition where there aren't winners or losers, and everyone gets a trophy in the end. For that reason, competition's members won't feel motivated to do their best on the tasks required, neither will feel proud of themselves or excited about the results in the end. Probably they won't even want to participate again in future competitions.

The possibility of being rewarded, while most lose, and standing out among the crowds always awake the pride and vanity of human beings. It feels like being special and unique. That is how gambling affects your mood positively when you win.

Handling fun around gambling is something most persons have got different approach to, they have their way with which they see gambling in the sense of  fun or entertainment, some persons see it as a way of showing support to their team while having fun and the others see it as proving they are good with such predictions.

The gambling industry will definitely get even much more bigger than it is now because they are getting new customers daily so it's not a problem for them to actually grow, if they weren't getting enough customers as they should then it could be possible that they will not get as big as they are getting in recent times. Gambling is actually supposed to be for fun and not aimed at Making money but then its turned out that making money is now like the primary reason most persons gamble

I think the part of the fun people always refer when gambling is also associated to winning, many people deliberate on the issue about playing gambling strictly for fun but the truth is fun is Winning or do you cash fun when you lose? I definitely would think not, so this issue of playing gambling for fun purpose is widely exaggerated because the core purpose of gambling itself is winning and earning profits.

You’re getting things wrong here man  
What I’m trying to say is that, the fun in gambling is felt more when the winnings are more, I’m sure you already know that nothing is certain in gambling and the moment a player stakes a game, automatically the player is already hoping to make a win and the ability to forfeit and take losses is what makes one a rigid gambler which doesn’t mean the impact of the loss isn’t felt.

I’m not actually kicking against other’s opinions but what I’m trying to say is that personally I think the fun in gambling is felt mostly when the winning are more if you think I’m wrong, I think you should try conducting a little physical survey in your local community if gambling is permitted

If someone is greedy enough in gambling, then he will only feel happy when he succeeds in achieving quite a large number of wins. Because he will only feel happy when he feels satisfied enough. Meanwhile, someone who is greedy enough will never feel satisfied, they will continue to feel lacking even after winning. So in other words, it will be quite difficult for someone who is greedy enough to get pleasure from gambling.

And the easiest thing to be able to enjoy gambling is not to be too greedy in gambling, and being able to understand that being able to win at gambling is not something that is easy enough for us to achieve, is something that is quite important.
Be grateful for every win we get and accept every loss we experience, never behave silly by continuously placing bets to return and recover a loss experienced previously. And one more thing, never compare the wins we get with the wins other people get, because it is impossible that everyone will have the same luck at the same time.

There are things that may be a bit difficult to explain, but I think the statement that 80% of people gamble to make a profit is true. Moreover, the majority of gamblers are from the lower middle class. So the main goal is to make a profit. But a small portion of the rich population gambles just for fun because they play with their little money, which for many people may be quite valuable. This mindset cannot be generalized to mean that gambling is only to make a profit. I myself come from a lower middle class, of course I also think that I have to make a profit when gambling.

Gambling is fun when the games are played based on the enjoyment and entertainment of it and not the winnings as the primary motive behind the session,  as for what makes a game enjoyable we may mention winning since that is the only way we can stay motivated and enjoying the game more but above that also is the overall mindset of taking gambling for just relaxation activities and not the money aspect of things as many mistakes it to be.
Gambling is way more than what we intend it to be and the casinos take the time to develop the games in such a way that it gives players some form of excitement and entertainment reason why some gamblers keep playing even when the outcome is not in their favor in some cases.

In gambling, it is believed that best way to engage in the game is to gamble for fun but like you said, I can authoritatively say that  more than 80% of gamblers engage in it because the fact that they want to make a living out of it. And the one who doesn't depend on it to make a living engages in gambling to make profits and that's why I think most people take all the necessary risk they can take on betting just to make profit.
So many gamblers do play down the fact that the main reason they engage in gambling is to make significant profits out of it but wether they accept it or not, it doesn't change the fact that most gamblers engage in gambling because of the profits

The gambler who want to make the money in the gambling should ready to risk the money using in the gambling site.Because making money in the gambling site is not the easy one,as we know the gambling had two set of game.One is casino,which is used by the most of the gamblers.Because it was based on the prediction of the game,if the gambler had failed to predict for once.The gambler are force to loss the funds at that time,So it continues till your prediction was correct.The second one is sports betting,this is more easy if you have the sports knowledge.But the random betting in the sports betting was never accepted one,because random betting will give you loss.

Your point cannot be denied because it is the middle or lower class people who are usually desperate to make money from gambling. They try to make quick money. How to get rich fast A rich person has less of such a desire even though the rich try to get richer. But the poor are less likely to earn money from gambling. Rich and poor alike should not think of profiting from gambling. We consider it the logical conclusion to accept general gambling as fun. Those who take up gambling to make money are more likely to lose. I think there is no specific category for responsible gambling. Both rich and poor can do it.

When it comes to exact percentages then this is something there's no clear about into those numbers but pretty sure that only a few would really be that winners compared into those losers
on which i could say that those statistics would really be that entirely be opposite on which we know that house do always win at the end and even if we do speak about strategic type
of gambling games but it wont really be something that would be enough for you do have that assurance that you could really be able to win up the game.
It would really be always a matter of luck and this is something that you shouldnt really be fixing your mindset in regarding to this one.

That's always the case. Many people turn to gambling because they believe it is the only way to make a lot of money quickly. However, they may not know about other alternatives to make money. Even if they have a job, some people are still willing to take risks and gamble in the hopes of making more money.

The idea is the carrot on the stick but seriously most people dont seriously expect sudden riches.  At least the possibility is enough motivation to play the game briefly or repeatedly but mostly people dont seriously consider themselves on the yellow brick road to meet the wizard of betting riches, this is a nice story but not an actual reality confirmed by many.  Maybe a few but I dont expect sudden riches or great luck to accumulate in my favor nor do I think most others do, play for fun to remove boredom perhaps sounds alot more closer to what occurs.

Duh.

Of course people's gonna gamble for money. The very concept of gambling in the first place (before brick and mortar casinos even existed) was to compete with other people, luck involved and all that, for the money that they will wager against yours. Since time immemorial money has been involved every single time gambling is brought up, so it's not surprising to see people gambling for money/profit right now, as depressing as that may be. Now why, you say, am I so against gambling for profit if I know about how common it is in this industry? To that I say, Common doesn't mean Normal.

Way back then it would've been okay to gamble for profit. After all, most gambling take place on a PVP (Player vs. Player) level only and does not involve anyone mediator that takes money out of their hands and puts them into this fake situation where they have to battle against the house for the money. But since that was the case now, and the addiction paradigms within this industry is at an all-time-high, I reckon people should start thinking about other ways to have fun while not earning money, and that may or may not involve gambling.

I've been able to crack the code (at least I think) when it comes to gambling for entertainment, so for better or for worse I'm not gonna be a part of the gambling addiction statistic, but you could be, and that's why you should think twice about gambling for profit.

That is the true definition of gambling since they risk money on bets for profits but ideally we don't tell ourselves the simple truth rather we keep saying we gamble for fun, I know too well that when money is removed from gambling then it's no longer interested for people to start paying attention to gamble. Gambling is another fast means to get the required money needed but it takes time for that fortune to come, that is why it's periodically on a chance based game.
There isn't a day people will be so sure about their predicted games rather, whatever game they places is under probability +-.

For real, I believe that the majority of people that bet on sports think that they're somehow beat the system.

Considering how bookies make their money though, why would anyone think it'd be possible to realistically make money from sportbets is beyond me.
Sports bets have a house edge just like every other gambling activity does. And in fact, it's even more common for sports bets to have a very high house edge if calculated correctly.

I think people need to realize that bookies, especially in crypto sports books, make a high % profit on each market on average, this money comes from players. So it's easy to lose money than make it reliably. The odds are against you and no matter how good of a punter you are, the way bookies raise or lower odds always gets you in the end, unless you stop early.

Well I can say there are only few persons that actually do this and I believe this would be the type of gamblers that are already made because these type of gambler don't actually play for the winning involved but maybe for the pleasure that comes with all the adrenaline pump of actually gambling. There are many types of gambler today that would argue differently to this thought but with all what I research on, I think I can say some gamblers actually do stake for the genuine fun involved gambling.

The intention to profit is still there because they stack up even if you gamble with smaller amounts, but the difference is that you take it less seriously, unlike others who put in more time and effort because you know that gambling is more likely going to make you lose money at some point.

Those gamblers would still try to win because winning usually makes it fun, but they're more aware of their capabilities.

There is no fun in gambling when you come to earn, even if there is you will definitely not pay much attention and feel it because fun is not your goal, and I can already confirm that when you have the intention and purpose of gambling to earn then obviously the number of trials will definitely be more than gamblers who come just for leisure and also with the aim of fun. and certainly is that you will end up suffering a lot of stress from the many losing situations you experience, we must understand that gambling is a "possible" activity which means there is no certainty that you can always win and when you don't win, In the event that you've got a lot of time on your hands, you're going to want to make sure that you've got a good idea of what you're going to be doing and what you're going to be doing.

This is why it is always advisable not to put any expectations or goals other than fun in gambling, because if you are too serious especially with the goal of earning then obviously the number of tries will be more frequent while the overall victory always depends on how lucky you are in running the session, no matter how skilled you are because luck is an important aspect in gambling. The point is as I said that fun will turn into tension when you have the goal of earning.

For me, gambling is just to have fun but I also hope to make a profit, but if not, then I consider it unlucky and I can still accept my defeat. Please note that most people who bet definitely want to make a profit, even watching the match, it's not fun if they haven't. betting because it can provide its own challenges for bettors, if the result is losing they can still accept it because gambling is full of risks.

I think this is not a problem because it is up to them to use their money for whatever it is. Whether for gambling or for fun, but the big possibility is that they want to make a profit by risking everything even though this is not necessary because risking all the money just to gamble can cause unnecessary losses even though they are having fun. Because I'm sure the more they gamble, the more losses they will incur and the fun can turn into disappointment.

What I am trying to say is that winning makes us happy but losing makes us sad. When a gambler keeps winning one after another then he will be very happy in mind and when everything is good for him but if the opposite happens if he keeps losing one after another then he will look depressed. A gambler does not always gamble for fun, but before taking it for fun, he plans to make a profit by gambling. But what you said that we should never over covet is absolutely true and we should always follow this. 

In a gamble we get the result we expected then we should not take another gamble but that time we should think about taking a break and give our brain some time so that the brain can make the right decision and the tension so that the brain does not take any wrong decision. If we can gamble like that, I don't think the outcome of the gamble will always go against us.

Its normal with those kind of reactions or emotions since we are humans. If you arent that having those kind of emotions then what does it mean? We do play gambling for thrill and excitement
and most of the time it would really be that pertaining on making profits in the end of the day. We do risk money to earn money and this is why it would really be that best that you should really be playing gambling for the sake of fun so that you wont really be that putting up yourself on being addicted because once you have been shackled by addiction then its so damn hard to get out. I did really come into a point that i have that become a bit addicted with gambling and luckily i was able to control myself on the time that i have those money shortage due to those kind of problems which i cant be able to sustain because of too many loans.

What you are saying is a recommendation for every gambler so that they always use gambling to have fun in their spare time. Even though we hope to win, we don't need to gamble too seriously because gambling is entertainment. We just let the winnings come to us so we only need to enjoy gambling in moderation. If we lose, we must accept it because that is our risk in gambling. We cannot recover from losses easily or chase wins because we will not have big opportunities in gambling.

Yes, they can use their money to meet their daily needs or gamble. They need to pay attention to how they can manage their money well and fulfill their daily needs besides using their money for gambling. If they can balance everything, no problems will occur and they can still enjoy gambling as entertainment in their spare time. They have to change their mindset to get a win from gambling because it is very difficult to achieve so they just need to gamble casually while enjoying their free time.

I am in support to say that majority of the people that gambles chases profits but I can't bet it that they are of 80%.
I can also tell you not to believe on those who blabs against gambling for profits. Lot of people tends to take the ways of the majorities. So, basically, since it some certain responsible gamblers agitates that gambling shouldn't be of making profits, the rest of the gamblers who gamblers for profits then hides themselves under the identity of those who don't gamble for profits.
It is even something of madness just as OP said that you can't intentionally spend your money in a state of your awareness that it is risky and with the potentials to cause emotional breakdowns and yet we all dips into it in the name of having fun. Lie. Even the best hobbies we have can't not be spent with such amount of money we looses on gambling and yet we says we should gamble for fun.
But however, it is encouraging to have the insightments of fun while gambling so that you can overcome that state of emotional breakdowns and do also, you would be mindful on how you spends your funds on activities that would have you just funs because there are necessary responsible expenditures that requires mush of those spendings other than that of funs.
The orientation of gambling for fun might be false and forceful to us but it would be wise if we sticks by it so it could have us limitations of how eager we could be pleased to spend our time and resources just for gambling that has all tendencies that we could loose our funds nomatter how much we must have got.

I think it is much more than that, close to 100%. If you're betting money without having in mind to win money, I don't know if you know what you're doing. I think that anyone who says they gamble for entertainment is looking for an excuse because the main thing is to win money, it is the possibility of winning money that makes gambling an enjoyable activity.

From a general point of view, of course people risk money to win, but on the other hand, people only think cursorily so they don't expect too much because, if they hope too much to win, they will get carried away with the game which without realizing it will cost them more money.

Certainly, the main goal of many people who gamble is always to make money because although gambling is something that depends entirely on luck it also allows you to earn money quite easily. Of course, the situation I'm talking about here is only valid if the luck factor is also a strong factor.

As someone who gambles for fun, I would like to say that I always have a goal of making money when I gamble but unlike gambling addicts if I lose the entire budget I set, I don't continue gambling by adding more. So, although the main purpose is to have fun by spending time playing gambling games, there is naturally an expectation of making money as there is always a possibility of winning. On the other hand, I would like to point out that if I need 100 units of money when I have 10 units of money, I have never had a goal of multiplying it in gambling and having 100 units of money from it. So, although the main goal is never to make money it can be quite normal to think about possible earning possibilities and have expectations.

Exactly! actually, more than 80% of gamblers why they always gamble, the reason is the profit that can be won. Other players are not going to waste their time if they have nothing to gain from it, especially when money is involved. We know that everything now, every action needs money so it's impossible that they didn't want to win. even the rich who gamble just for fun, somehow still expect to win. you won't see anyone gambling just for fun, everything revolves around money.

Another fact is that there are some people who gamble by believing that if they lose at one casino then they will change casinos to gamble again with the words "maybe at the new casino I can win" actually there is no guarantee that they can win by moving to another casino. new casino. As you experience, you tend not to win even if you switch to a new casino. and I think you represent many people who think they can win by gambling at a new casino. and the goal is the same for profit, but continuing to do it like that cannot guarantee that they will be able to get a profitable victory.

In my opinion, losing money in a casino is something that is certain and cannot be avoided, because it is clear that winning and losing will be the end of the gambling we do, but what is clear is that we will lose more often. However, if you want to gamble and don't want to lose money or don't want to make a deposit, you can do demo-based gambling, but of course this will be different from gambling using real money. No matter how big a win we get in demo-based gambling, it will not satisfy our feelings.

Yes, that's only a small part of people who can do that and have fun without wanting money, rich gamblers also want money if they get it, but if they don't get it, just think of it as entertainment for them, it's true that 100% of them are all focused on money, but some of them just change his mindset and don't try to emphasize getting money from the games he plays, who in this world doesn't like money in gambling which is quite large, everyone definitely likes money, so actually gambling for money or not depends on just the way of thinking.

In fact, some of the gamblers I saw wanted to have fun, not looking for excuses, but they tried to force themselves to change their mindset so that they were not focused on money, as is usually done by poor gamblers who are too obsessed with money and end up addicted to gambling. So actually it all depends on each person's views and what really differentiates each gambler is their mindset when gambling, so try not to prioritize money when gambling, the point is to have fun and enjoy the game.

The truth is that people who gamble for fun don`t let themselves lose so much that can result in depression. It is common for people who desire to make extra cash from gambling to keep chasing losses and then get more problems for themselves. People who gamble for fun are always moderate with their stake and moderation is measured by the income of the gambler. What can be moderate for gambler A can be extra vagant for gambler B. A gambler who gambles for fun will always treat the money used for gambling as entertainment expenses rather than an investment or potential source of income.

It is proper not to be guided by greed as you have noted but it is difficult to stop gambling when you win little. It is easier said than done. Well, I don`t advocate that people should stop gambling after winning but I think that whether you win or not only gamble with an amount you are prepared to lose. Set a limit and stake to it because that`s the only saving grace.

What happens is that each person has their own way of seeing things, each person has a different economy, they have many ways to spend their money according to their ability, that is what we should see as the first option, once we have Of course, there are people who think differently than others, some say that a casino is worthless because they need to make money and they only think about multiplying that money, and if they do it well, but in most cases they are not successful and that is You just have to think, that's why when there is a type of eprsoans who think like this, you have to realize (sometimes by yourself and mostly through bad experiences) that this is like that, that is, you can't see a casino to make or generate income, much less see it as a job.

According to this, many phrases arise, that playing in the casino is for fun, and yes, it is only a cliché to save some things that may be seen badly, but we all know and are aware that whoever enters a casino is with the intention to win, that is something natural, but to make things better, before this every person "should" know that entering a casino means that the money you put into betting or risking can be lost in its entirety, that is something for sure, to avoid these things we have to take preventive measures for us as players, like the ones I have always said, if you control spending in a casino or the money you are willing to lose, it is the best strategy (for me), but there are other people who opt for self-control, that is, managing emotions, but that is something that I do not trust, because it is very easy for one to let oneself be carried away, we are human, we feel, and we will always have the desire to believing in ourselves or being so positive that we end up betting more than we should even without leaving ourselves with nothing, that is what should be avoided.

I disagree.  You spend money to go see a game live in person because it entertains you.  The activity of gambling brings a certain level of entertainment for me.  So I might not be of the majority but I don't gamble purely to make money.  I dare you to go play poker with fake money and then real money.  The game is completely different with money.  Its a level of competition you can't get with fake money games.  Same for sports betting.  I have my favorite teams but gambling on teams I'm not particularly interested in allows me more "entertainment" watching that game.

I don't think we can lie to ourselves that it's actually the "chance of winning" in gambling that makes you or anyone else ultimately attracted to this activity, logically everyone needs money and you've also said it that most things you can get when you have money especially in terms of making ends meet, and that means the main focus of most gamblers is to "multiply" the money they bring in a certain amount. On the other hand, if your sole purpose is to be entertained, then why don't you choose something else that is also fun without the risk involved? There are many other options that you can choose from if you just want to be entertained, and this is a big question for me.

But on the other hand I would not accuse them too much with the idea of gambling to earn, because if we look at the number of rich people who are also involved then this can also be taken into consideration for another result, which is that rich people already have a lot of money and already know and have ways to get a lot of money so that they can become rich people, and that means I quite believe that rich people gambling prioritize fun rather than earning, and maybe the conclusion is that the financial circumstances and situations in your life determine the goals you have in gambling.

Anyone who is gambling in order to create an income source is just deceiving themselves. It is not possible, no matter what people say. You cannot make gambling into a business model which guarantees you profits. That is nonsense.

The true reason why gamblers gamble is because they want that adrenaline and dopamine rush when they win or lose. That is all it is. But perhaps the gamblers either do not understand this or try to lie to themselves.

From a pure mathematical standpoint, regular profits from gambling is almost impossible.

I personally only gamble with tiny amounts of money for fun. I still get that rush, but with none of the (huge) loss.

When people study, they always say that they are studying to achieve their dreams, but when people become adults and need a job to earn money, then people focus on studying courses that are most sought after in the job market. , and when they get a job, they say they are working because they love that job, but in reality they are working because they need money. They do their job well and are compensated with money, which in this case is their salary. It's a win-win situation for both parties. On one side we have the owner of the company who needs employees to do certain tasks and on the other side we have people who need jobs so they do the tasks of the place where they work and receive salaries.

in casinos it's exactly the same thing, what we have is that on one side there is the casino owner who needs customers to make a profit and on the other side we have customers who are playing for fun and who also want to win money, I usually I play for fun but I try very hard to make a profit. Of course, I don't exaggerate and I manage my bankroll in a rational way so that I don't get lost in gambling addiction, because the search for profit is what has made many people follow the path of gambling addiction, and I don't want to this for me. But it's a reality that most people play because they want to win and make money, and that makes perfect sense. It wouldn't be fun to lose

That is a crucial point about the inherent nature of gambling and the misconception that it can reliably generate income. The odds are typically stacked against the player, and over time, the house almost always comes out ahead. The allure of gambling often lies in the thrill of risk-taking and the rush of adrenaline and dopamine that accompanies wins and losses. Many people may engage in gambling for this very reason that seeks the excitement and entertainment it provides rather than viewing it as a viable income source.

It's commendable that you approach gambling with a mindset of moderation and enjoyment, opting to wager only small amounts for the sake of entertainment while minimizing the potential for significant losses. Understanding the psychological and physiological aspects of gambling, such as the role of adrenaline and dopamine in driving behavior, can help individuals make informed decisions about their gambling habits.

Most of the gamblers had loss their money due to their emotional game play in the gambling site.Because making money from the gambling site need of experience.The gamblers should hold the separate earning job,because from their earning money they can do the same game many times.The money from the jobs also help the gamblers to play in the subsequent rounds,the more game played by the gamblers will leads to huge profits.If the gamblers doesn’t have money in the game they will accept the loss at the time of loss.Then they can play the same games with the money later make huge profits from it.

This kind of topic is an never-ending discussion. Everyone's differences will prove each others point and there's nothing wrong with that even if for some it can be against their will since it's just all about talks and discussion.

Every gambler that risks our bets to gamble is definitely for anything that they are up to. Profit, fun or whatever the purpose they're up to. What matters there is that the money they use for gambling is theirs and not from someone else.

You don't feel the same feeling when you gamble with no money and with real money and that's what they feel so that's the purpose I am talking about.

In my opinion, people do put money on the line when they place bets in hopes of winning. Naturally, the nature of gambling has it that when we place a wager, we either lose money or earn it. Individuals that gamble do so in an attempt to profit because, after all, there's no use in wasting time and cash on things you can't justify. Right?
Really, it's the same cycle: we wager, we spend money, we lose, and we make money. If we compare it to our everyday routines, such as getting up in the morning, taking a shower, going to work or school, and then spending money to buy lunch before returning home, we can see a few similarities. However, even though we go through the same cycle when we gamble, we still do so. However, putting it into practice in our day-to-day lives might seem boring since we keep going through the same routine.

If they play a gambling which real money involved, then there must be an intention to make money but for those who says that they only want to have some fun, I think their goal is only to make some (small) profit. Maybe there are still those who play for fun but they do it on a gambling where no real money is involved.

This is much better because even if we only play with a small amount, there are still chances that we can get addicted on the game later on and it's not only the money we are burning here but also time. There must be more important usage for them and once we do, we will feel much better and have a sense of achievement. This is the reason gamblers keep risking their hard earned money in gambling infinitely.

Great analysis enjoyed reading your write up, its easily understandable why people get into confusion while gambling. They spend hours gambling for the money, as if they want to achieve their dreams. But the aim is for the money. They end up losing out lots of it, and keep on trying to earn few more funds, through gambling. While the casino boss is busy doing his parts on the Ads, looking for more gamblers to fund the business. This shows how simple it is to understand how the gambling niche is been managed. Also, why people shouldn't think the money wagered on gambling is an investment. As it's not what they think it is, gambling is for fun purposes and for the need to relax after a busy day or week.

It's not possible to have fun without risking or staking your money and that's a bitter truth. Everyone want to earn money from gambling but at the same time they don't want to get addicted to it. Not only 80% of the gamblers but almost 99% of the gamblers gamble in order to earn money.

There could be a rare case when a gambler doesn't want to earn money but at the same time some gamblers fear from gambling addiction and due to that they don't play longer sessions. But, even those gamblers give enough time to gambling.

They simply want to earn money from gambling and when they win they get happy and when they lose they get sad. That's why many experts say that if you can't handle your emotions you should not trade or gamble.

It's not a need-based thing, people who can afford to do so gamble for fun because they don't care if they lose the money they are using for gambling as it doesn't affect them financially, while those who can't afford to do that will use their money to gamble to earn money with it and because they can't afford to lose the money, they try to chase their losses when they lose and then lose more money and this continues unless they get a grip on themselves.

It's true that one doesn't necessarily need to gamble to have fun and play games and other stuff that don't require money, but they don't just gamble for the games because there are video games that are much more entertaining than gambling games, but it's just the activity that they find to be fun.

anyone definitely wants to win even if we think about doing it for fun, from here we can think, most people are very focused on winning and some others do it for fun, the principle of op is very relevant, only a few people understand

I don't know why people don't like to admit that they are gambling for money when it's always obvious. The company that set up the casinos are there to make money, to collect your money and get richer and richer but you don't want to admit that you want to get back the same money from them, that's false pretense. Gambling is a making money platforms but you have to gamble, predict before you make one which of course has to be accurate but not to be depend on because there is no assurance doing it.

If it's not really about the money, I think more than half of casino games are on playstore, apple store and on web to be downloaded, if it's really fun that people want they would have gone for those ones instead of wasting hundreds and thousands of dollars a week in the casino, the money is the key motivation why everyone gamble and I'm not ashamed of it.

It cannot be denied that the average gambler gambles for money, rarely do they gamble for fun. Losing thousands of dollars a day in gambling is never fun unless they are really rich gamblers. Gambling for money may be considered wrong, but it is difficult to change this mindset because people continue to gamble for money.

Gamblers are always expected to gamble responsibly regardless of the main purpose of their gambling. They must avoid the effects of gambling and they must control their lust and greed by considering the risks well. Any casino warns its customers about it even though they don't want to lose customers.

You deserve to be rewarded and I love the fact that you made this very obvious and one thing I’ve learnt so much from the forum is the fact that everyone has a different opinion about a particular subject and you don’t have to force others to buy in your idea and that’s why I’m actually entertaining everyone’s opinions and trying to see reasons with them.
But just as you stated, these gambling companies are here to make money but it is always very difficult for some gamblers to admit that they’re into gambling to make money and from my little observations, I’ve come to noticed that most of these people who claim they’re into gambling for fun are actually those who make losses and use that as a cover up.

We all get the relaxation part but the truth is that not everyone knows this because it can immediately turn into another thing and  that's the  where most person fail to get. You can actually start up a gaming session inorder to relax your mind but at the long run of everything the whole session might have turned into another thing and that's when most people get crazily involved because they would be trying to win back their money at the first initial deposit.

Everything is possible in this life, but I agree with you. It’s hard for me to imagine how a person gambles without the intention of making money, but simply to have fun and have a good time. After all, in life there are many other ways to have fun and have a good time, I don’t understand why you should choose this particular method. But just because I don’t understand it doesn’t mean it can’t happen.

I agree with you. People, of course, enjoy the process of gambling, but their main motive is money, or rather earning money. Just like you mentioned, there are people who can predict some events well, but predicting game events and predicting game events and betting money on it is a big difference and the result of the choice may be different

Whenever there's someone who would really be making out those words or telling up that they are playing for the sake of fun, then i dont really easily believe it. There would really be always that money making intent of course on which i could say that it would really be just that normal since we are just humans and we do normally be having those normal approach on things which we know that it could bring out that kind of opportunity on winning up big without doing too much effort but of course the risks isnt really that worth of. This is why it would really be that best that when it comes on dealing with gambling then you
should really know on what you should gonna do on which accept out the risks and dont make yourself that get addicted, with this then you would really be just fine on dealing up yourself with this space.

Everything is possible in gambling just as nothing is certain but just as my writing also stated that it is possible that people are actually gambling for fun but personally to me that’s not right as these companies (gambling companies) are in to make money off our losses and it is absolutely wrong when a gambler shies away from the fact that they’re into gambling to make money and just as I’ve also said in my previous post that most of the people who claim that they’re into gambling for fun are those who are making more losses than wins and can’t just give up and the best story they could come up is that, they’re gambling for fun but in real sense, gamblers are supposed to stay optimistic to making profits and not solely claiming to have just fun.

You're actually making sense here cause if I can gamble for fun why not watch the game and forget about gambling, I enjoy watching the game like most people will say and still want to bet for some reason like fun. Not everyone really want the money but if any day turns to be their lucky day they're in for it, let's be realistic only wealthy men will have this mindset of fun and sometimes people who don't pay much attend like for weeks they've not even visited the casino shop, people like this can easily say gambling is fun but you should observe the people saying they gamble for the money, it's either the money is needed urgently to settle something or they don't have a job. Like one of my testimony as a student when I started gambling, I needed this money to buy textbooks, handouts and I decide to stake a bet and hopefully I had much profit, so in times like this one can say I play gamble for the money.

Just like a regular game that only uses coins in the game.
But some domino slot games that provide internal coins also need to buy coins from resellers or those who sell coins for the game.

It's just like any other gambling, but has a different system.
I only play for entertainment only, allocate about $10 and if it lasts a long time and maybe just profit, it's just my luck, it will keep me playing longer.

Watching the game and gambling for entertainment doesn't give the same feeling if we're telling ourselves the actual truth, when money is at stake you get more feelings and enjoy the game more this is the reason I also enjoy gambling on live games that I'm watching. I hardly gamble when I'm not presently watching the game as I understand more what to bet on when I'm watching the game and also get more dopamine released into my brian that gives me more satisfaction.

We have different characters as different individual therefore we all gamble for different reasons but to make money is at the top as we have more individuals gambling for money and I also gamble sometimes as I want to try my luck to see if I can get some money to buy something that I would have seen and loved it but I don't have the spare money to use in buying that thing, just don't over gamble.

Yes, people do that, I think that's the whole point of gambling is, right? You risk your money in the hopes that it's going to double in value which gives you profit. Sure you could do that and not bet but that's going to only be the peak, with betting, you're bound to get more excited and saddened when you're watching a game depending on the result, winning a bet on a sports that you've watched and loved is a different kind of fun if you ask me, plus to many people, betting is just a second thing to them, they just bet for the sake of they have something to do other than just watching.

People will continue to risks their bets because there's no such way other than betting money to have more. Gambling without tabling real money doesn't make sense to me. Just in the illustration of trading with demo accounts, one will be making profits but its not withdrawable. We play for fun but other people are struggling to reap profits in the system. We can only struggle when we entirely depend on the system. There's no better way than watching ourselves becoming pro but it comes with a sacrifice, can one maintain balances. Gambling in the real world is risky but the gambler already set his mind on the positive energy and not giving up.

Yeah I simply agree to this entirely but people with different perspective will just do to their demands.
To me its a game of Fun whether any gambler like it or not and it shouldn't go pass beyond this means and when it does it will be repulsive to such persons cause when they don't see the money coming forth,they go extra Miles

Some people can end up risking their entire savings on bets just because they feel it will fetch them money,but it's only unlocking other attributes that will result in loosing entirely.i met a man on my way back from work,and he was bragging that he has made so much with the help of this gambling,he also talked about he risking his first salary to gamble and it fetches him double of what he used and with this he was persuading other people around to gamble as well which is not good to think of.but I tried talking to him concerning that,he bluntly opposed me and I stopped the conversation.

Well, as much as I agree with most of the things you have said, let me say that, I personally; sometimes prefer to bet on a game than watching it, while in some games as well, I will prefer to just watch and not bet.
So, in other words, lets just say that betting for what ever sake, simply boils down to the gambler who is playing, we all are different in our different ways after all.

And going back to the main discussion, it is true that someone watching a match which he or she had a bet on, gives a different kind of feeling that watching a game that you don't have any bet on it.
I remember one time I was watching a game between and Arsenal and Tottenham, I watched the way Arsenal was playing and felt that they may likely win the match, I immediately picked up my phone, logged in on my casino account and placed a bet on Arsenal, and immediately I did, I noticed that my entire body system changed, I began to have this navious or anxious feelings when ever Tottenham had the ball and was heading towards arsenal's goal post in attemptds to score.
So, betting on a game, is another fun way of enjoying a match, and not just by watching it alone.

Why 80%? 100% of people bet because they feel they can win money.

Profit is not the right term because it's not a business or investment so everyone who gambles because it involves money or anything that holds value.

If someone thinks they can make money from gambling and pay their debt or fulfill their financial needs then it's stupidity.

You can't have fun by watching the game. Would you prefer to download God Of War on your pc and play yourself or you prefer to watch how other person plays it? I prefer to play by myself because I control the process and I feel like the character. The same applies to gambling too, I play slots myself, I control how much I bet instead of watching others decisions. If you want to have fun, there are many games that let you to gamble with play money. You also have to keep in mind that not every game is playable via play money, for example, live casinos need you to bet real money. There will be some people who get fun from live casinos and bet small to enjoy the experience, winning is a bonus in this case.

Most of these games also increase anxiety and I also noticed that some of us are already derailing from
The subject matter which is, if we truly have people who gamble strictly because of fun when there are several games they can play without getting to risk any money because I personally believe over 80% of gamblers are there to make money and from my little time of observation, I’ve notice that these set of people who gamble they gamble for fun are people who’s losses are largely greater than that winnings and telling people that they gamble for fun seems to be one of the best ways to get out of shame from the losses because I believe there is always a special joy that comes from winning a bet

It's impossible that there are people who gamble without the intention of making money. They are crazy if there are people like that.

People gamble to have something good in return. Gambling for the reason of having only fun is crap.

Even rich gamblers have that intention to make money in return, what's more to average gamblers. Even some people claim they are just casual gamblers and just want to have fun so they gamble, deep inside they want to win. Don't believe in this gambling for fun reasons or whatever as the ONLY purpose why they gamble.

If people doesn't think about to double their money from gambling instead just use it for having fun, they will not getting a big loss because they will know how long they need to playing gambling and how much money they can used so they will stay alert and not trying to deposit more money when they almost lose all of their money. They will prepare to stop their gambling activity while watching what the last result they got. If they lose, they will leave the casino and will do the same if they win. They will not think to recover their loss because they don't want to see more losses.

Yes, people risk their money in gambling but if they can be wise using gambling, they will not take a big risk instead just for the money they can afford. They will not break their limit because that can makes them lose much money. Related to watching the match, they will have the option and that depends on them. They will not watching the match if they don't want. But for a fan, they will watch the match while waiting for the result from their bet.

People are goin even to that extent of using their last penny to gamble, i don't know the kind of conviction such may have but its totally a bad idea to do so, we are not sure of anything we do in gambling, its only take luck and risk to gamble and win, whereas in most cases, we don't even manage to make win, if we are indeed interested about making profits, then we should just go to making business or investment and not with gambling.

if you gamble for fun, you will probably win more than someone who doesn't gamble for fun. I think playing gambling for fun will make it less dangerous because, even if you play it seriously to earn, you can't still predict the outcome.
The statement that you can gamble for fun and not expect a return is doubtful because, in my opinion, it is impossible.

Can we consider someone to be a professional or a novice gambler if they will gamble without expecting a return? This just isn't possible, in my view and
It doesn't make you a gambler at all because this is just like opening a provision shop and telling people to come and take things for free every day, and no matter how rich you are, you will get tired of it one day.

Should be obvious that the reason they risk money on placing bets aside from watching games is to expect some profit.

There are differences between bettors and pure fans who just follow the game without gambling. You can't generalize that as one.


There's no need to be confused about that and if we used our common sense here, why gamble if the intention is not to make money?

They can just look instead for a job, work, or anything not related to gambling but still, they decide to gamble. It's because people won't risk money on gambling if they see this thing unable to generate good money, not just simply good money but a truly decent amount.

Deposit money and fight the system at different levels to receive a treasure chest full of gold at the end, just thinking about it is enough to attract people's arms, even a person who is always vigilant must pay attention and place a few bets, cost is always something necessary to spend and without achieving the goal, people become stubborn. In addition, gambling without real money can be uninteresting but I don't understand why people only aim to bet so much money, the cost of a few drinks is enough fun when playing with friends

God bless you mate for stating the obvious as I wanted to quote some parts and leave the rest but I found the post worthy of the quotes and I love how you simplified everything because most times, people argue blindly without trying to see things from the other perspective and I think that’s not right but who am I to judge them since I’m always conscious of the fact that, we all have different views on a certain topic, hence no need to panic while listening to others.
I still stand on the ground that the primary motive every gambler is to make money as there is a big difference between a gambler and a true fan who watches the game without betting on it and yet still has all the fun they desire.
There is no way you’ll bet on a match and gladly watch the team you bet in their favour losin even if every other person is happy about it, you wouldn’t be happy deep down that your favorites team is losing because you already know what’s at stake.

it's not impossible. there are some gamblers who gamble just for entertainment or to improve their friendships, for example in china, singapore, etc., there are quite a lot of people who gamble to be with their friends just to have fun and build their friendships. so never assume that all gamblers gamble just to make money, because not all gamblers are like that.

I called myself a responsible gambler because of two reasons.

1. I don't expect too much from gambling anyways, for many its a way to lose everything.

2. I always risk little amount, so even if I win, it won't be life changing.

The lesson to learn from this is not to be greedy with gambling, since everything about it is not certain why risk a lot of money on it as if you already know what the result will look like?

I want to make few dollars with luck when gambling, but to have that rest of mind and also be able to enjoy my time I choose to always go smaller on money spent, if my $1 can turn into $10 I am satisfied.

I think their minds are filled with gambling so they can spend all the money they have to the lowest point. Because maybe they expect the winnings that can be obtained, there are indeed wins in gambling that can be obtained, but that should not be pursued. Because by pursuing victory it will only make them lose self-control until they spend all their money. But to be clear, I also don't know for sure but the big possibility is that they have a victory and expect more from gambling.

In gambling, of course, the risk is definitely there and it is certain to happen because in gambling there are two possibilities of winning or losing, but clearly defeat will dominate more than victory. Therefore, we should be able to accept the risk of losses that will be obtained, betting for profit is certainly not wrong but what is wrong is how to respond to it, that's my own opinion.

So they are just gambling to lose and have fun? I don't totally get it; why would you gamble without an intention to win? Isn't it more fun if you are winning in gambling as well? I mean, that should be the main goal while we are gambling, but we are different from professionals since we aren't focused on gambling.

If we have time, we do it and enjoy it, win or lose, we still enjoy, but we are human. We don't feel good when we lose since we won't gamble a small amount to get entertained; it should be an amount that we feel the thrill. And once we feel the thrill in gambling, we can be happy or sad based on the outcome of our gambling.

It's very possible, although it doesn't mean that those who gamble for fun are not welcoming of the wins they might get, they don't specifically gamble for the gains, and even if they do, they just do it to try their luck and aren't spending a lot of money and chasing their losses and losing everything they have because they want to earn something from gambling but they do it casually with a fixed budget, have some fun, and if the money is lost, they are out and that's it. No regret, no remorse.
When you talk about rich people gambling for gains, I don't believe you because what I've mostly seen is that rich consider gambling a rich activity that they do to kill time and have some fun, they barely care when they lose because they don't spend all their wealth on it.

We have main goal to yield profits in the system. Professional have grown and they don't easily lose money in the system, instead they reciprocate their energy to becoming promising and dependent in the space. In gambling, we can become prosperous and also become frustrated, well it depends on the sides we chooses to belong. Risky your money on gambling have turn out to be a usual activity that happen daily in the system. We just have to hook up with appropriate measures, that's one basic intention to grab major opportunities in the system.

Just like you did stated this is your opinion but then with others it's absolutely different because they would not probably enjoy the game well enough or have as much fun as they would want to have if they don't bet or gamble on such game, every body have their own unique and peculiar way of having fun so if it doesn't seem reasonable to you, it aswell doesn't stop the fact that it's fun for some other persons, your fun may not be the definition of fun to another person and it's very okay to not make a deal out of it what matters is the fact that they are all having enough fun.

Your intentions are actually stated clearly and you should know too that there are people who actually gamble just for fun and not to make money because probably they are wealth enough already nd so they just want to have fun and not necessarily make money off gambling.

Haha, you can`t address people who don’t gamble for money as crazy. Yes, it is possible to gamble without the aim of making money. Even though conventionally, gambling is often associated with winning money or other material goods, there are instances where individuals engage in gambling activities without the primary goal of making money. Gambling can serve as a social activity where friends or family members come together to enjoy each other’s company while participating in games like poker or bingo. The camaraderie and shared experience can be more important than any monetary winnings. For instance, a group of friends gathers regularly for a game of poker, using chips instead of real money. The focus is on friendly competition and spending time together rather than monetary rewards.

In some cases, people may turn to gambling as a way to escape from stress or boredom. The immersive nature of certain games can provide a temporary distraction from real-life concerns, even if there is no expectation of winning money. For instance, an individual struggling with anxiety finds relief in visiting a nearby casino and playing slots for relaxation purposes. While hoping for wins, the main goal is to destress and enjoy the experience. Another instance where gambling occurs without the primary goal of making money is in charity events or fundraisers. Organizations often host casino nights or raffles as a means of raising funds for charitable causes. Participants purchase tickets or chips to play various games, knowing that their contributions go towards supporting a good cause rather than personal financial gain.

I think what is meant by gambling for fun does not mean that you gamble with the aim of losing, meaning that the idea and aim of fun will be useful to divert your mind from the aim of "earning" because clearly that is too dangerous an approach because gambling is not the place to earn money, that doesn't mean you have a goal of enjoyment and then you don't want to take the winnings when you're really lucky, one of the reasons is because who doesn't need money? Everyone needs money to meet their daily needs and when they succeed in winning, it is clear that the better thing to do is to cash it out as quickly as possible.

Let's straighten out that as I said above, one of the reasons why gambling is for fun is because we can avoid several actions out of control due to gambling with the aim of making a profit, in essence it will be easier for you to become a responsible gambler if basically you don't treat gambling seriously, you have also said that we don't like losing and that's normal but gambling is always about risky activities which means you have to have a way to minimize the possibility of losing if you want to stay involved in gambling, and one way is by gambling with a budget that you can be responsible for if you lose.

whosoever told you that is correct. The bottom line to why we all gamble is that we could make some profits in as much as we also catch the fun that comes with the activity. I am not sure anyone would pick interest in gamble for the sole aim of answering a gambler as I don't see the prestige and honour attached to the name gambler in any society of the world.

Catching the fin as a spectator is quite different from when you're an intrinsic part of the game. I am sure all gamblers' here can attest to how they feel different with the fun when they are taking action on the games from when they probably just followed a colleague to the gamble house just to keep company on a certain day they wish not to gamble. It's an experience you don't need to be told.

Trying to make money in gambling is not unreasonable. But not everyone can earn money form it. Those who choose gambling only to make money may rather lose their wealth in gambling. A gambler should gamble with the assumption that he will lose. Money can be earned from gambling but there is no guarantee so the gambler must take risks. No matter how experience a gambler or skill full, he can never be sure when he will win or whether he will win. If gambling is considered part of entertainment then gambling is not a problem.

It is very funny how the truth is always very difficult to admit even when it is obvious and that’s a typical example of pride and in most cases I think a lot of people are already getting a lot of things very wrong not to insert that that these casinos are here to make money and those money comes from ours losses and why are we shy to boldly say I’m into gambling for money ?
I personally believe the first target of a gambler is to make profit while having fun but also at some point, most gamblers bet even without getting to watch the match and still get all the joy and fun as long as their ticket is getting through but I think the fun when making money and enjoying a game is second to none.

It's like this, particularly things when it comes to gambling are very different depending on the needs of the person, generally the player will always claim that he wants to make money, that's normal, I don't dispute it, I think we all want to make money, no. There are doubts about that, but you have to know how to play in a casino if we want to win money, the first thing we must accept is that in a casino it is very common to lose, losing can be for many the worst thing but it is something that is common in casinos. It seems normal because casinos are businesses, companies where they have to ensure their profits, and that is why there is a lot of talk about the topic of the house edge, it is not for any reason, it has its reason for being, and you don't know how It is known that we, as good players, must mature that knowledge so that it does not take us by surprise when playing.

Continuing with this, many peons do play out of necessity, because they need to cover their expenses and needs, and sometimes they resort to the casino, which does not seem appropriate to me, for example in 2021 during the pandemic, things focused a lot on the online jobs and about casinos, because many people chose to try their luck with casinos to see if they could win some money, some did, others were not so lucky and lost, but I will always recommend that you do not play out of necessity, first to play for fun and to have a different time, because it can be very dangerous to risk our money, our assets and then lose it, that is something I would not wish on anyone.

Unless we want to lie to ourselves and pretend under the umbrella of gambling fun, everyone is guilty of gambling for money. In my country where even the women has now resort to gambling like it's the new way of employment, they gamble to make money because they believe that with consistency, they are going to win a mega odd that will help them return their loss and huge amount of profit and they actually do make the money and the fun of such gambling is that they use small amount they can lose so they don't regret later.

Everyone gamble to make money but not everyone gamble for fun, there are people that actually gamble for the fun of it but they are only few that does that, thw rest even on this forum do it for the money, there is nothing to be ashame of it because the gambling platforms are coming here to take away the money investors have here and you can't tell they are making a lot here that's why even after many years, there announcement thread is active and always open to help out anyone with problem on their platform, it's pure business for profits.

The truth being difficult to admit in what context as I don't get. Obviously the casinos are absolutely created for making profits and that's their motivation to stay on in the competitive  business environment but this is not same for the gambler who might have two different opinions on why he is into gambling and you can't be so quick to accuse anyone of not admitting a truth if they chose to be on the side of those gamblers that gamble for the fun and entertainment they enjoy from the games, while others priority could be to make profit even if they are not having fun. Our priorities could be different as gamblers but that of the casinos remain same and unchanged.

I’m not against people gambling basically for fun but meh I don’t know how they possibly do this but my problem are for those who aren’t sincere with why they gamble and simply follow those who claim they gamble for fun simply because they don’t want to looked at negatively.
If you’ve gone through the thread you’ll understand that I’ve been speaking for myself here as I believe everyone is responsible for their opinion and there isn’t any need to argue what others believe as we all have our different opinions on a particular subject matter which gambling isn’t exempted.

There are several other games one can still engage with without getting to gamble and risking their hard earned money and maybe we should see my post more like a wake up call to remind people that these casinos are in for making money and we should be conscious of every decision and actions we take and make on their platforms rather than just mere fun.

There are surely varied motivations behind gambling which distinguish between those who do it for entertainment and enjoyment versus those who prioritize making a profit. People engage in gambling for diverse reasons, and not all are solely driven by the desire to make money. Indeed, many people view gambling as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the movies or attending a sporting event. They enjoy the thrill of the games, the social aspect of being in a casino, or the challenge of testing their luck. For them, the primary motivation is not financial gain but rather the experience itself.

There are people who see gambling as a means to make a profit that treats it more like an investment or business venture. They may employ strategies, study odds, or focus on certain games where they believe they have an edge. Their priority is on maximizing returns, even if it means sacrificing some of the enjoyment typically associated with gambling.

Despite these differing motivations among gamblers, casinos are indeed profit-driven enterprises. Their primary goal is to generate revenue, and they employ various tactics to ensure that they remain profitable in a competitive market. Understanding these distinctions is important in discussions surrounding gambling, because it implies the complexity of human behavior and motivations.

It's true that there are two types of gambling: fun and profitable. Although the two aren't incompatible, I believe it's critical to understand the distinction between the two as your reasons for gambling might influence how you approach the game. A person who gambles for entertainment purposes, for instance, is probably going to stick to their spending limit and make more sensible decisions than a person who is gambling for profit, who is probably going to take more chances and pursue their losses.

One of the things that allows casinos to survive so far is because there is a huge profit that they get from many gamblers who lose and obviously most of them are gamblers  who always go overboard in treating their gambling activities, on the other hand, we may have often heard that overall the real victory is only for casinos because most gamblers always suffer a losing amount which basically happens slowly and sometimes they don't realize it.

The point is that the purpose of casinos is for their own profit and you've already said that this is a profitable business for casinos and that means that gamblers will never be able to make a living from this activity which is basically nothing more than a probability activity that only provides "possibilities" and not a definite reality. On the other hand that doesn't mean that pleasure gamblers won't accept winnings, pleasure is just an idea so that you don't take gambling too seriously and it's clear that if you have a goal to earn then surely you will do everything you can to earn, while on the other hand there is absolutely no certainty and as already said that the purpose of establishing casinos is for their own profit because this is a business that hides behind "chance". On the other hand as you said and I agree with that we  cannot simply conclude that all gamblers come to earn, because there are always some gamblers who come with the right understanding that in the end they have the recommended approach to gambling.

If a gambler will understand what is his real intentions why he is into gambling and keep his promise to himself the extent of how he will play his games, he won't subject himself to potential trouble of gambling. But the reality is not many gamblers can stick to their targets, especially when he is enjoying his games and don't want to stop.

The majority of people gamble to make a profit fast from winning from gambling. And few percent of people play for fun and many of them convert from fun to earning and finally, they become addicted to gambling.

hahahaha I want to deny that sentence but that is the fact in the polarization of some gambling addicts, most of them want to benefit from gambling because they see or have earned money easily from gambling, even up to thousands of times, so they try it or continue to search for luck from gambling, yes including people who have fun too, they do excessive gambling, chase losses and eventually become true gambling addicts who every week or even every day spend their money on gambling and have hopes that it will be the last gambling for them to get bigger money.

I wanted to laugh at them, but was afraid of sinning. LOL

Even if someone doesn't gamble with friends and family members considering a social activity, there are still people who don't gamble only for monetary gains even if they don't deny that monetary gains are good and useful and they are the reason why the experience becomes fun.

Of course, no one gambles only to lose and says that they find it fun to lose all the time, that would be a lie if someone says that, but when someone says that they gamble for fun, it means that they find the experience fun and they don't push their limits to win some money at any cost even if they have to lose all their money in trying to pursue those profits.

Gambling for fun doesn't mean that the gambler doesn't enjoy their winnings, it's just that they don't overspend and find the experience fun while it lasts.

it's very difficult to do it like that. because in the brains of gambling players, especially beginners. they consider gambling to get more profits or you could say to double their money.
so they will have fun if they win, and be very sad if they lose. So there is no longer any such thing as having fun gambling even if you lose.

Of course, many people want to win a lot of money and believe that this will certainly happen and they will win so much that their grandchildren will have it. But it is precisely from such players with such fantastic thoughts that gambling establishments make money. Without risk, it is impossible to win huge sums, unless we bet on many events and guess the winners in these matches, but this will be real luck, which only happens with a very small number of players. So to a large extent, the OP's statement is true. As a matter of fact, this is all that gambling houses need so that players risk large sums of money every time, and the whole business is built on this.

What you say is right. Many people change their habits from gambling to having fun to trying to make money. And yes, they become addicted to gambling when they're back at the casino too often. They want to make a profit from gambling, but unfortunately, they can't always get it.

When they use more money, they will have a chance to lose that money, especially if they lose self-control playing gambling. They risk their money to try to win, but they don't remember that winning gambling is difficult. They need to realize the fact so they don't try so hard playing gambling.

It needs to be awareness not to risk too much money to play gambling. They also need to consider luck matters that will not always come when they play.

Gamble is just another option to all gamblers it's up to you for making your own choices on what to do with it, I mostly gamble for profits but not addicted same time I risk what I can afford to lose and other gamblers gamble for entertainment because they needs something to entertain themselves with. It's funny how people get addicted to things, as a gambler who's chasing loses you are risking your career as well, because you won't get what you are looking forward to get. If you risk you also think of winning and you might not win because you are chasing your losses. your mindset of winning a bet shouldn't be more than %20.

            -   You know, mate, all gamblers who enter the casino are really risk-takers; all of them are ready to lose their bets in the casino. Because if they are not ready to lose, they will not even waste time depositing money on a gambling platform.

That's why casino players in any field of the gambling business are called gamblers. And then they expect that kind of defeat from a casino mate, because often gamblers in the gambling field are losers.

I strongly agree with that. Most gamblers lose, maybe that 80 percent is actually low, it could be 85-90 percent.
We are greedy, that's the natural behavior of a human. We want high multipliers even if it is in sports gambling so we do parlays to increase the profit as much as possible in just one low bet. But the risk gets higher and that's the reason why most of us are losers.

And I do agree with what OP said that we can still have fun watching the game without a bet. But if you start placing bets with sports and then watch them, the next you don't put any money on the line, the game becomes boring. Try it and I bet you will just do other things even if a good play is happening or the game is crucial. Unlike when you know you have money on the line, you will probably glue your eyes to the game and you don't want to miss anything, even a single call by the referee where you will react like you are part of the team.
That's the additional spice that is being given by betting on sports, it adds more excitement to the game.

That's the reality non-gamblers in real life would not understand. We are risk-takers; we know that we can lose our money, but we still try for a chance to grow our money. That's why it's always advised to limit gambling because of the fact that we lose more than we win, at least for most of us.



Losing is already a possibility. However, since we are gamblers and we love this kind of challenge, we are willing to risk, even if we lose. Most of us do not keep a record of our losses, so we will not feel that we are losing overall. Sometimes we hit, and that would be a big achievement on our part. It makes us happy and more inspired in gambling as we were able to conclude that it's not impossible to win. The word "limit" is just too important; we follow that, and we will last longer.

Gambling is used by people in different fields but everyone's objective is to win because winning is always fun.  When someone plays games without gambling, they still try to win the game. because losing is never fun. And when one gambles, one must take the risk of gambling because no matter how much a gambler is addicted to gambling, even if they have the desire to win big, they also know that they can lose in gambling. so everyone must have to accept the gambling risk

The appetite for risk comes during the game, although usually at the beginning many of the players think that they will play just a little, but it gets sucked in and the player wants to get more intense sensations, which can only be achieved by increasing the risk. Surely many people have noticed that after betting $10, betting $1 or $2 is not at all interesting.

I am also interested in the fact that if suddenly a player is lucky and makes money after taking a huge risk, he may not calm down. Although from the outside it seems that there is nothing better than stopping the game, but the player is already so happy and under adrenaline he continues to take risks, he begins to like the very fact of this, it follows that they take risks not only for money.

Placing a big bet can lead to big wins but it is a big risk and this risk cannot always be taken. Because no one can tell when someone will win something big. some can win big jackpot in just 2 to 3 bets and some can win 1 big jackpot in 100 bets now so how can you bet every single amount of your bet in big amount. so while gambling, you should always use that amount of money in gambling and keep single bets through which you can enjoy gambling for a long time and you can afford to lose.

but there are people who gamble their money because they want to feel the excitement of gambling. they are very excited when they see the slot machines spinning or see the ball on the roulette machine spinning and almost hitting their number. maybe we will think that they are strange because how could they like to waste money like that, but that's gambling, sometimes you will find people who just want to have fun when gambling. because a gambler won't get this excitement when they just see the game going on, but when they put money into the game, that's where the excitement of gambling begins.

I wouldn't say it's always about the money, it's also about the thrill of the game and the possibility of winning. The excitement and anticipation that comes with gambling is one you can't find else where or replicate, and that excitement alone is worth the risk of losing money on the process.

lol, if it wasn't about making money, then I'm not sure why people would gamble at all?!  You can still play some of your most favorite games without the need for putting money on the table.  Take for instance Poker/Texas Hold'm..I love the game and will sometimes play just for the fun of it, not having anything to do with money.  I would imagine 95% of people whom gamble do so to make money.

is it really worth it in the end? I believe that all of us gamblers are more oriented towards profit, not just the pleasure we get from paying for the game.
We have to be realistic, most gamblers still feel regret or disappointment when they experience a losing streak and very few wins. Even though this happens, every gambler will still return to the game and continue betting in the future.

If the owner of the machine said that you don't win money on that machine and that people will be playing using money, I highly doubt that we would see someone putting coins in the machine knowing that they won't win anything. So let's ask ourselves: don't people keep saying that they are going to play for fun and not for money, so why don't they accept playing on a machine that doesn't make money? If every country in the world that allows lotteries announced that people can continue to buy lottery tickets but that they will not win any money if they get the ticket correctly, instead the prize would be a photo that would be taken of the winner and placed on the lottery company website. How many people would keep buying the lottery ticket? In my opinion the answer is that probably less than 1% of people would continue to buy lottery tickets and all lottery companies would go bankrupt. if land-based casinos and online casinos kept saying that they would no longer pay money to winners

but instead of not giving money, people would be putting money into the games just to have fun, how many people would agree to put $10 into a plinko game knowing that if they hit any multiplier they won't win anything? And how many people would agree to place a bet on a football game knowing that they won't win money if they get the bet right? I highly doubt that someone would place $50 or $1000 on a bet knowing that if they manage to get the bet right they won't win anything. So no one will place bets. people like challenges and that in these challenges they are rewarded. for example when people are at school and study a lot

They are thinking about getting good grades and surpassing everyone in the school and being recognized as the best in the school. So they are not studying hard just to keep that knowledge and hide it from the world. They study hard to be rewarded both at school and in future employment. This is why we all play to make a profit, but as gambling is based on the odds that favor the house most, it is recommended that people play with only money they can afford to lose, money that will not harm them. accounts if the person loses

Of course most people bet with the intention of making a profit, only a few do it for fun, that's why many people are miserable due to chasing luck in gambling, those who think like that will lose a lot of money compared to people who just have fun

If I’m to be asked to say my opinion about gamblers, my answer is that; about 99% of gamblers are doing it for money making and not for fun. Why would you risk your money to have fun when their are thousands of other things you can do to have fun without having to trouble your mind or sane self on the thought of not losing the money you’ve just placed on a bet. Gamblers gamble for money and not for fun and that’s just the fact.

I and almost everyone might state otherwise but deep down we all expect that we earn more than we risk. I might not have the company of richest person but I had never met a gambler that's not wanting to earn. And I  don't think that's its wrong to expect a larger return. If you know your limits and stay within a budget, and things goes according to your analysis specially on sports gambling, you could make some money while having some fun. Poker table is also a place where you could expect the skillful to have more chances at winning but that can't be said for random result gambling like dice and roulette.
So, expecting a earning from gambling is not a bad thing, you just should not make it an addiction.

It's true. When we forget that we gamble just to add some fun to our games then we might be running toward chaos in our financial status because next to it will be chasing losses which I am 100 percent sure since gambling sites always win through the house edge.
But maybe those who can win one time and will never be back for a long time are possible winners. Well, as long as they can endure to never be back because most winners that I see will test their luck one more time thinking they could possibly do it again and maybe double the profit. That's greed and I bet it will end up not good also.
All gamblers do like to win but most of the time we are sucked into trying to win back what we lost and that's when we are forced to play every day or every week hunting for revenge and trying to win our money back.

The assertion is wrong, many persons are hiding under the illusion that they are gambling for fun. I think it's just a small fraction of persons that may be gambling for the fun part of it like the wealthy class who have little or nothing to lose. Majority of gamblers are in for the money, they're either playing to make some extra cash or to hit a windfall that will change their lives for good.

Your response resonates deeply with the way I think about these things too. The realistic part of it is everybody on the surface of the earth takes risks, whether business people, or even people that are not in the business arena. You take one or two risks because there are decisions that you make that has to be money-driven, and you can't make them without taking the risk of bringing out the money to solve those problems.

And the examples to these things can be enormous. An example could be that people purchase lands to or even order for things that at the end of the day they are not able to use them and they can't return it. It's a form of risk taking too and that does not have anything to do with even the business arena or betting. So that's just one example amongst a million.

As for people who take their hard-earned money to bets for fun, I think there are a lot of people that are doing so. But what I believe in my own instance is because those people had already made a lot of money, so losing a little potion of money on those things in turn of fun wouldn't be a bad idea to them. Everybody has a way they derive pleasure or looking for that inner peace and satisfaction from them and some other person's inner peace could be engaging in gambling for fun.

Gambling is a high risk game, and as we know, the higher the risk, the higher the profit can be. Of course, most gamblers gamble because of the possibility of winning, some of them do not even realize that they play because they need emotions and of course there are gamblers who get an emotional explosion during the loss / win. You will not get such emotions in a movie theater, on the beach, in a restaurant, strip bar. Of course there are entertainments that can cause a similar emotional explosion - skydiving, bicycle trails, but these entertainments also cost quite expensive and are not available for everyone. In addition, they can lead not only to injuries, but also to death.

You’re right and it’s always funny how people find it difficult to accept they’re gambling to make money forgetting that these gambling companies are solely in there to make money and always proud to state it .
The major reason a gambler should gamble is to make money and let the fun come from the winning rather than claiming to have fun while finding it difficult to make a win from it.
Currently, anything anyone is doing that isn’t fetching them money while others are making money from it is actually a waste of time and gambling for fun while others are making money off it is a waste of time as well.

We are all gambling to make money and I am not ashamed to say it, as I see that so many people are not bold enough to say it out loud, well here you have it, I gamble to get lucky and make money, that's why we are all here, but the only difference between I and others is that I don't have high expectations from gambling like they always do.

Just because I am gambling to make money doesn't mean I must gamble all the time or risk a lot of money on gambling, understanding matters here, I know how unsafe it is to be too involved in gambling, you can leave the important things behind and go for gambling, only to end up regretting later.

I do gamble to make money, but I do it when I have the amount that I won't be needing for now, the amount that I am ready to lose away in gambling, and most times I keep on learning new things, skills based, that will help me to make better money in future, I don't believe in gambling that much.

Maybe I would have to ask you if you have ever gambled before or if you have ever taken a big risk in gambling and you were very surprised to make huge profits from such games. If not, you will not ask us whether people truly make profits by taking risk to win gamble. Everything we do requires risks and the only thing and ways we could help ourselves is to make sure that we take a necessary risk nit anyhow risk that could make us lose big amount of money in the market. We need to observe things and weigh it before we decide to take risk because there are some risks that do not worth it and it's after we are in that we would know that we have already fucked up.

We all bet with a wish to make a profit, but only a few know that making that profit in gambling is hard. So when we make a deposit we wish to have some fun while we play our favorite games, but we never know whether we will make a profit or lose everything... we play for fun & excitement, and if we make a profit it's great, but if we lose it's not the end of the world we know we will try again another day.

People who gamble solely to make a profit often lose, it's because they push and they think it's their turn to be on the winning side. It's not so bad as long as they play with the money they can afford to lose, but when someone goes too deep and starts chasing losses just to recover and return debts it turns ugly in most cases. 

I think this whole thing highlights one of the biggest problems with gambling, which is the cycle of chasing losses. Even when a gambler experiences more losses than wins, you still find them pressing harder and harder, and the more they go, the higher they stake and the more they lose, this has proven the most dangerous cycle in gambling and many gamblers fall into this ditch without even knowing it, they continue to gamble, with the hopes of eventually hitting that big win and recovering those lost fund without knowing that this cycle can very hard to break because it leads to even more loss, only a few people have been able to do it.

Well for me I will say nobody gets involved in gambling without having profits maximization as their aim and goal,  gambling is for profits not for fun,  it only becomes fun when you are gaining much more than you are lossing, similar thread has been created saying that some people gamble  for fun not profits which is not true, because there is no way gambling can be a fun when you are loosing funds which creates devastation in the mind of any gambler, lossing in gambling most incure pains irrespective of how you get your funds.

People has their own meaning of fun when gambling. For some, gambling can be fun and exciting to potentially make money, and for others, they see it as a form of entertainment. It depends on the views of people on how they see 'fun' in gambling. And if you are a person who sees gambling as a way of making money, it's important to approach it responsibly and within your means. Gamble with only what you can afford to lose and always be aware of the potential risks and rewards.

I am sure that the goal of many people who gamble is to make a profit or multiply the money they have. Therefore, it is natural that many gamblers have the motive to recover losses or pursue winnings, because that is the main goal. with them gambling as a motive, of course that is not right, because with motives or thoughts like that it will only make them lose more of the money they have, even when they don't have money they will try to make money in any way they can. generate money and will use it to gamble again with the motive of recovering losses or chasing wins Therefore many people experience big losses because gambling is their wrong motive for gambling, even though there is a chance to get a profitable win at gambling, this does not require them to spend a lot of money on gambling, because even if they win, I am sure they will win. what they get cannot cover all the money they have lost due to gambling, there is a jackpot that can be obtained, but it is not certain that they will be able to get it, because what is clear is that they will lose more often even if they try hard, such as spending a lot of money. This does not rule out the possibility that they will lose from the gambling they do. So no matter how hard you try in gambling, I don't think you can guarantee a definite win.

If their initial motive for gambling is wrong, it is very likely that they will have problems in the future, such as a gambling addiction that will harm them. Where they can gamble by spending a lot of money but they will not care about the money they have lost in gambling because all they think about is winning. It's true what you said, this might be a dangerous cycle where they can spend money without the slightest hesitation. Once they are trapped in this cycle, of course they will encounter various problems, the main one being money, their finances will become a mess, and other problems, perhaps in terms of health, and relationships between friends or family and even partners. And if you are trapped in this cycle, of course it is not an easy task to get out of this cycle. Of course, to get out of this cycle, I think most people fail to get out, although there are some who are in the process of getting out, but in cases where they return to gambling and went back to gambling crazily Therefore, when you first start gambling, your motives and objectives must be specific, even though there is a chance to win, it is not recommended to gamble with the motive of making a profit because it can trap you. Don't let our own thoughts lead us into a detrimental cycle, especially in the long term.

Many individuals are gambling as they want to make money therefore they won't want to lose or gambling only as they want to have fun and lose money but that doesn't mean there aren't some rich individual that find pleasure in losing money when gambling to get the full effect of the dopamine that comes from the thought of losing your money by risking when gambling. For them losing money is what gives them entertainment and they can afford to pay for the fun.

When gambling, only use money that you can afford to lose so when you lose it you won't be defensive and starts gambling to recover your losses which will make you to over gamble and might end up making you to become an addicted gambler. No individual wants to be a gambling addict, it's from things like over gambling or revenge gambling that makes them to be addictive and hard to stop the habit.

Any person who plays gambling in the first place should realize that for any entertainment has to pay. Casino is not a charitable organization. Rich gambler is well aware of the risks and therefore relate to losses more calmly. Poor gambler apparently does not want to understand that losing in gambling is a mathematical pattern. Why does this happen? Because in most cases, the poor gambler plays gambling for the sake of winning, the rich rather to have fun.

Believe it or not, but I agree with what @kenshi222 said, I know many people say gambling for entertainment, fun and so on, it's all a joke, there are no crazy people risking their money just for entertainment and fun, gambling is not a tourist place where they can spend money on food, hotel rentals and so on.

I believe money is gambled to make money, that's what happens in the world of gambling, we all expect money to be wagered on certain types of games just to win and profit, nothing else, losing/losing is their risk, the point is that people gamble only to make a profit from winning.

Many people appear to gamble with the intention of making money, but the reality is that the majority of gamblers lose money over time. So, to save face or prevent feeling awful about their losses, they may claim that they are gambling for enjoyment. However, even if someone claims to be gambling for enjoyment, they are almost certainly expecting to earn money, even if it is not their major motivation. It's almost as if people are deluding themselves into believing they don't care about money, but in reality, they are only attempting to insulate themselves from the emotional and psychological anguish of losing money by claiming they don't care.

You would definitely find few person's that gamble for fun, most person's gamble for fun and for the cash too, and some only for the money, but either way gamble is gamble, if you wanted to have fun why not book a ticket to watch the match live. IMO I don't think people gamble for fun cause you would definitely feel disappointed if it doesn't work out and once emotions is involved you can't call if fun anymore.

I would only agree if the person is so rich and then is looking for a means to waste money and laugh over it, gambling isn't so fun fare else everyone would be doing it and there is a reason why people don't endulge in it cause of fear losing money.

And just as I’ve also said before that I feel at some point that people who claim they gamble for fun are people who are at the losing end and that very story is just a way to cover the pains and bitterness of losing, don’t get me wrong but I don’t agree with the fact that people risk their hard earned money just to have fun which they can also have without getting to risk a single dime.
I’ve also said thy these casinos are there to make profit and in most cases they also make it very obvious and hence I see no reason why people should shy away from making it obvious, they’re gambling to also make profits.

The intention behind gambling most times influences the approach various class of gamblers gamble, the rich who always have fun at the back of their mind gamble very different from the way the poor who has got the intention to make money gambling will gamble. Loosing in gambling if seen as something that was expected than there will be no need to ever think you are surprised at the outcome of any of the game you did gambled on.

Losses and winning are things we see in gambling everyday and it's actually based on your approach and strategy to gambling that you will be able to experience either of these stated but then every gambler who's gambled in awhile must get to experience both of the experiences.

Yes every gamblers risk their money on bets to make profit, the only difference is the level of risks they take, most gamblers don't care about what could happen to them if they lose, they get greedy and reckless easily.

I don't want to make a lot from gambling, that's why I don't expect big amount when gambling, as someone who is also using very little amount of money, what can I even win with that? Like gamblers use to say, that if you risk a lot on gambling you will reap a lot of gains.

I do not believe this idea because it's very dangerous and misleading, the idiots might think that it's this easy to make some money and they will risk everything, until they are proven wrong, don't get greedy, find another reliable source of income and start using 1% or 2% max of the money to gamble.

Fun is subjective but the one coming from gambling is influenced by money, there is nobody that will want to justify fun in gambling without money been involved. I do even think that some people are including fun into gambling so their close people don't see it as a bad thing they are doing. Gambling is a means of making money to some players and yes, they are good at playing around with it and does make money from it, they don't have any means to make a living than the gambling and you don't see them get affected by it and they don't lose much more than they win.

Gambling is not an investment in any form. So the first issue is when a person begins to view gambling as an investment or make quick money scheme. A majority of these persons pump their assets and liquidity into gambling with high hopes of getting massive returns forgetting that majority of gambling activities are just games of fun and luck. Sometimes it is even reasonable to tag such persons as lazy people who don't want to work but want to sit back and see the penny they have multiply to millions overnight by just placing a bet and hitting a jackpot.
Gambling is supposed to be a fun act so we should put in money we can afford to lose instead of staking irresponsibly and huge.

The only thing I see is money, nothing else, and all this fun that you guys are talking about. I don't have a problem if its fun, but situations have changed our mindset. I don't want fun again All I want now is money. Any time there is a potential win, people are always excited because I am very sure that it is not the game that is making them happy but the money they are expecting and people are always looking down on gamblers, seeing them as people who are not responsible. But there are professional gamblers who do not do anything else but gamble and do very well and my aim now is to become better at gambling. I have learned to trust in my instincts because that is how professionals survive in gambling. I am not bothered by what people think about my gambling habits because I want money and I do online betting so they don't even know what I do.

No matter how little the winning bet may be, it is still called a winning bet. Just like you said, most people really stake game to make more money. It's now fun if the amount you stake has no important value if being lose. Doing this, you will watch the match with full strength without any worries in mind.

It is always advisable to only risk what you can afford to loss no matter how small or big the amount might be but doing this with claims that you just want to catch fun isn’t right and I don’t want to argue if people truly and sincerely risk their money with a primary objective of just having fun because I do understand that just as our faces are different so are our desires are too and same applies to the purpose to which people gamble.

Just as I’ve said it previously that these bookies are solely into this business to make money and as such we should be conscious of our games and also try to make money from them too at every slightest opportunity that we grab.

Most people are just claiming that they are gambling for fun, but a lot of people are gambling to make money. The joy in gambling is winning. I don't know how someone will be happy after predicting a game and losing money. Nobody will be happy to lose any amount of money, even if it is $1. But the only truth that is there is that, as someone is gambling for profit, they should not gamble with a large amount of money that will affected them because gambling have no assurance, so that even if someone loses, it will not affect them that much. I don't see anything wrong with someone gambling for profit, but the truth behind it is that someone should not take it as a source of income.

It's even more difficult to stop when you manage to win something significant as a gambler because that thing stays in your mind and you keep trying to get the same results again and again and since it's gambling and things like that don't happen very often, you tend to lose everything that you have won earlier.

This is where the level of patience of a gambler comes into play because if they have enough control, they will be able to stop after hitting a big win and cash out the money, but if they lack control, they will not be able to stop and they will keep trying to multiply the money and eventually lose it all.

Some people might be able to stop when they lose, but as I said, it becomes even more difficult for them to stop when they win.

if you have played street soccer before, you will understand the fun part of gambling with money.

If you want to have real fun from street soccer, tell each team to bring a certain amount of money out and that any team that wins goes home with the money. It's at that moment you will see the beast in those players that will normally play casually because there was nothing to loose. Everyone will play and become serious with the game because something is at stake and for me, that's my fun in street soccer. It's the same reason why you find a lot of energy among those watching the game at soccer centres , most of them have stacked in the game and you see them arguing and having real fun because they know at the end of the match Thier is a high possibility of them winning.

Self-control is very important, and it's not just when you're losing, but even when you're winning, you have to be able to control yourself to stop and enjoy the money you've won. Some people do the opposite, when they win they will continue to gamble because they want to get a bigger win, but in reality it is not a bigger win that they get, instead their victory turns into defeat. A moment later they will regret not withdrawing the winnings they got before, because now there is nothing they can withdraw and enjoy.
Not only is that the case, sometimes they will also return to play and hope that the victory will come to them again on the second try. But instead of the winnings they get, now they have lost even more money than before. Many people do things like this, they are not satisfied with the winnings they get nor can they stop when they lose. This is what we call a greedy addict. They have no limits and they have no rules so they gamble based on emotions that arise because of greed or that arise because of disappointment. If it is like this then only time will make them stop (already lost everything).

Funny enough you’re talking about the players and not the gamblers as these are absolutely two different case scenarios but nevertheless, talking about the fun people get in viewing center isn’t because they booked a game or gambler on a game but because they’re core fan and that’s were you actually see the real fan base of a football club and most times, these viewers don’t even get to talk and discuss about their booking in the viewing center but rather focused on the very game that is been played at the moment .


Truth be told that there are several games one can play without staking or risking their money and still get all the fun and entertainment they desire and the major caption of this thread is to remind people that these casinos m, are here to make profits and we shouldn’t be blinded with the idea of having fun while the casinos are enriching themselves from this mentality.

Anybody saying gambling is for fun and not for making profit must be keeding. Just as you said if gambling where to be fun nobody would risk his money on betting why they can equally watch thesame game without the intention of making money. I believe that gambling is for making money. though there might be fun, but the fun in it does not justify that profit is not the primary motive. Whenever you think of gambling, you think of wealth and how to quickly achieve it withing the shortest period of time. For me gambling is for making money and not for fun.

We all play gambling to win to make profit, making money from playing gambling is the target of every gamblers but it is important while playing it shouldn't be something to take serious because not expecting too much from gambling can be so helpful to have peace of mind.
Gamblers really needs to understand in as much money can be made in gambling ,money can also in gambling. It is important gambling should be played with amount one can afford to lose and it shouldn't be taking serious as a means of making steady income. When playing with amount you can afford to lose it will just look as if gambling is for fun and nothing serious about it.

I love the fact that you’ve been able to balance the whole situation as a lot of people are being actually ignorant of the truth even when the truth is obvious which isn’t right and people ought to understand that the primary goal of gambling is to make profits and any other one is target should be secondary but irrespective of whatever the goal is, it should be worth knowing that we shouldn’t gamble more than we can afford to lose as this has been very detrimental to both success and health and that’s why, it is always advisable to gamble with only amount we can afford to lose as well gambling responsibly at all time.
There are people who also make steady income from gambling, and there also people who live their lives off gambling proceeds but all these depends on how well we play and gamble without emotions.

It depends on everyone's perception because in this case when we talk about gambling, everyone has their own views and what you said is right but on the other hand, other people's opinions about gambling just for fun are also not wrong because not a few people consider that this is just a form of refreshing after being faced with work that drains energy and mind, gambling is a solution to relax themselves and it is only used as entertainment.

It seems quite naive but that's what is felt in this case so that regardless of losing and winning they don't really care because they realize that losing in a game is a sure thing so that sooner or later it will definitely happen so when they already realize that, they treat gambling like a normal thing because they realize that losing is a very high probability of happening. Even though winning is a very good thing and is expected to happen, on the other hand, their expectations prohibit them from looking too high at gambling, especially what is sought is victory because it is an ambition that is sometimes difficult to happen.

Well, after all, it cannot be denied, right, that money plays an important role in this hobby that we enjoy. without money, we cannot play games that involve betting. so, money is a tool for us to be able to engage in games that contain betting, gambling and produce results. to be sure, there are many reasons for each gambler when they play it. apart from that, there are various motives why they gamble. so, we can see from various points of view why someone gambles. not only is it always money that plays an important role in why someone wants to gamble, maybe they are really looking for entertainment. for example, to unwind after their busy schedule and spend some of the money they can afford to lose, they can also visit a land-based casino to relax while enjoying the atmosphere provided by the casino. there are also those who don't care how much money they spend on gambling, the important thing is that they are happy with what they do.

Well, we're just talking from one side of the point of view. so there are many motives for various gamblers, apart from the intention to make money. what is certain is that out of the millions of gamblers there will always be gamblers who gamble without the intention of making money, one example is as I stated above. for me, gambling and football are like a package that I like. apart from getting the sensation of the essence of football, betting takes part in increasing adrenaline when I watch a match. the rest, just let the results determine whether winning or losing is part of the risk.

Money fuels gambling as a catalyst and medium. Doesnt it amaze you how it becomes an instrument for adrenaline-pumping chance and strategy? Your understanding of gambling's many causes resonates. Entertainment, excitement, and belonging are important too.

Gambling, in my opinion, goes beyond money. Human emotions, desires, and experiences are woven throughout it. Gambling as a relaxant is difficult. Indeed, gambling money is often a sign of emotion rather than a transaction.

Your football analogy is very powerful. Bettors' emotional investment and enhanced match experience are highlighted. Its a stark reminder that gambling is about pleasure, regardless of the outcome. This complex concept illuminates why people bet beyond financial benefit.

This has actually been discussed severally in this forum and has been recurring, the essence of every investment is to make profit and also the goal of every businessman is to make profit and sincerely speaking i have not seen any person who has taken risk of staking something of value for the sake of fun. we quite understand that people love games and can gamble in their different areas of interest but not for fun rather it is better to tell that people watch games and play games for fun than rather to tell me that people gamble for fun.

risk is a chance of loss and as well as a combination of hazard, you can't tell risk for fun, so major reasons for gambling is to make money. i was asked my friend the reason why he gambles, and he told me that it is just for fun but one day he won a bet, and the betting company told him that they are currently out of cash, and he should come after two days  and my friend became angry and i asked him why he is angry he told me that they refused paying him for  his winning today , i looked at him and i laughed because he was the same person that told me that gambling is fun and he is angry that he was not paid his winning. gambling for me mainly to make money.

Well, for me, I will say yes, most people if not all, lose their money on bets for more profit and that is where greedy and addiction comes in, it's not people don't actually win in gambling but they actually want more money, that is why if they win, they are excited to invest with the whole of money to win again with the mentality of getting another luck again for the second time forgetting gambling comes with different strategy, that is the method you might use now and win, might not work again for the second time, so instead of gambling little by little and profiting it little too, they consider it to come in buck, so that is why the risk their money for profits because of greedy.

I think what you misunderstand its the term "for fun" there. It clearly stipulates non expectation in gambling. When you engage in something without serious expectation from it, its as good as catching cruise with that stuff with limited emotions attached to it. That's the mentality gambling should be approached with. Catch your cruise with gambling and never allow gambling catch cruise with you. It helps you to gamble in moderation

Emotiinal attachment tho gambling brings addiction, big loses, unnecessary pressure of recovery and depression when the losses are much. Don't approach gambling with a money making mindset, always gamble for fun and you're good to go.

Op i don't really know how far people will understand this but the truth is that more than 80% of people risk their money for the sake of profit, there is saying that the sole aim of every businessman is to make profit which gambling is not an exception because in gambling we stake something of value to gain something. it is quite obvious that some people are presumed to gamble for fun, but the truth is that gambling is not a comic relief section where you will pay money to be attained, so any person that stakes money in gambling does it for the sake of profit. because i have never seen someone that has won a game and possibly left the winning amount for the betting shop or casino house because he staked the game just to have fun. so we take risk to double whatever we stake and make profit so i believe that people risk their money on bets for profit.

We can't deny the fact that it is the main target of most gamblers. This is why they are called gamblers. You are staking money for profit. Very few people are staking money just for the fun of it. Of course, deep inside, they want to win on that bet, even these rich gamblers.

And that is very true. No winning gambler have left their money to the people around him or the betting house because he is already happy without taking the money. Of course, it is no-brainer to say that every gambler has the aim of collecting his winnings after the game.

That not many people come to gambling sites to look for fun in this place. Only very rich people look for fun in gambling places. For them, whatever money they spend is meaningless because the money they have is unlimited and when they lose These rich people will still make money easily from the businesses they own. Only a few people try their luck to become rich instantly from gambling and it will not be possible.

Yes, the game can be watched without wagering any money, but it won't be fun. Gaming is best done with little amount of money, for fun purposes. It's absolutely wrong to view gambling as a place to make profits. It's a type of thoughts that actually derails the aim of gambling in the player's way of thinking. Concluding that gambling yields funds contributes in pushing a player to chase after losses. The human brain I guess works in different ways. Not all gambler would be capable of retaining their control when the funds doesn't show up as expected.

This also affects the gambler's emotions. He'll most likely get happy when winning and sad when losing. Which is not a nice attribute of a good gambler. Staying in control of our emotions how we feel and think while gambling helps a player not to get over reactive towards his losses. Or it reduces the amount of money a player could lose in a session. Sure, making money is part of it, but, why hope on something that's not certain. When I look at gambling I'd think of other certainties gambling could offer, like fun, and relaxation. These two are certain and we'd actually get it the moment we start looking to gain such thing.

basically those who gamble are to make money, with those who gamble for fun I don't think they don't want to win, they still want to win but they may still be able to control themselves so they are not too obsessed with winning or chasing victory. but maybe gambling for fun is just an alibi, to cover up his gambling addiction. If gambling is just for fun, in my opinion it would be quite hypocritical not to expect to win.
Also, I think the point of fun in gambling is in the wins that can be obtained, now if the gambling you do ends in defeat, where is the fun? I didn't think about that, maybe the fun is in the course of gambling like the thrill of losing money? I do not think so. It cannot be hidden that the purpose of gambling is to make money or win. It is impossible for those who gamble not to want to win, even those who gamble with the aim of having fun. The goal of people who gamble is to win, especially with online gambling.

Winning in gambling has lesser chances than losing, so this explains why gamblers tend to put huge amount of money in betting rather than winning little by little, because it will eventually drain out all your money. A one time huge bet might be the only strategy that works for the people who's looking to get good profit. Now, the real challenge for gamblers is putting a stop when they get momentum of winning, usually they may try their luck in the 2nd time 3rd time and so on. That could easily be tagged as greediness, but it's also taking advantage of the opportunity or luck while it's still there, just like the saying goes "strike while the iron is hot". This could either end up to a more profitable gambling experience or could easily turn the table around. What else do we expect? it's gambling.

Yeah but most do gamble , because of the profit they may endup with after winning. This kind of gamblers are the ones that normally endup losing more , because of the urge of trying to get rich quick with gambling, and yeah most gamblers are just in for the profit only that's why they normally endup gambling irresponsibly. While some are In for the fun in it . So everyone ain't same , they all have their aim for gambling.

Yes, this really happened in multiple times. People really fixed their money in gambling a lot for profit, this is to say that everyone intention and gambling is to make money everyone intention and gambling is money so therefore people gambling is for a reason and they are their money for their purpose which is good for them and is always a plus sometimes because they win and they don’t lose all the time they only lose the few times and they also Mie sometimes the only thing is that your winning should be bigger than you’re losing

At first, everyone plays gambling for fun, while gambling for fun, at some point they become addicted to gambling. If a gambler has no cash income then he will always suffer if he continues to gamble and loses money while gambling. Thus, if a gambling addict is found, he will gamble until he incurs debt. There are also families where a family member is so addicted to gambling that his family is forced to hand them over to the police. How desperate a family member is can make such a decision. Of course, many people gamble for fun, but there is no problem if it is limited to fun. But if he is addicted to excessive gambling, then his family can understand very well how dangerous a gambling addict is for the family.

You are absolutely right, if people use this method to gamble, I think the hight rate of addiction will be reduce and will enable most gambling to enjoy gambling because I think what always causes the gamblers to gamble with emotions is because of the high stake of money and with that, pressure will occur because they will not want to lose all their money but once they did, they will be feeling bad and be eager to play more so that they will recover their lost, so that's why it's advisable to seek for help or support when you notice your gambling habits has gone wrong.

Outside gambling to make money i don't think there's any other reason why people gamble though there are people who gamble with the mindset that if the game wants to cut it should cut if it wants to play it should play because of the money they have and the money they have win from gamble so it's like nothing to them because they know that, even if the game cut they can double the money they will lose in less than no time. There's an extent you have money gambling will be like someone that is just playing imagine someone Drake, he's not just gambling for the money he has the money already but he's just creating an awareness.

This starts because someone wants to get money, I think if someone who gambles for just fun, the money he will use must already be under his control and ready to lose it, but sometimes it is also impulsive and carried away by the atmosphere of the game that makes someone lose more money. then realize that he has used money that should not be used and think about recovering it but instead the losses are getting worse and after that he continues to lose his money, until he gets a big win he doesn't think about stopping but continues the next day, Then he realized that he had used money that did not have to be used and thought about recovering it but instead the losses got worse and after that he continued to lose money, until he got a big win he did not think about stopping but continued the next day, and indirectly also the logic is to seek profit on the gambling board by just playing. But that's the logic of the trap.

There is no easy way if addiction approaches a person in solving it, it should be necessary to look at the time of playing gambling and use less money for gambling to be more conducive.

Just don't make big bets that will cause you problems if you lose. The risk must also be justified, and if a player is going to make a big bet with the hope of winning back, then this is the worst decision a player can make. If you lose, the situation will worsen significantly, the size of the loss will increase significantly, and to do in this case, increase the bet even more? It’s not difficult to guess where such a strategy will lead. The bet should be no more than 3% of your deposit, then a single loss will never be a problem.

You might be right here when you said there are other ways to have fun without risking money, but I must say it is a different case and ways to have fun when there’s money involved, since gambling with your money has always a tight chance to win something back, beside all the adrenaline rushes every time you set a bet and wait for the outcome.
For people who risk in gambling thinks they will make profit in long term, those people end up addicted or face bad losses, as they always chase their losses thinking they will make it all back with one jackpot hit or win the lottery, 99% or more of these people won’t win anything, and end up in a circle, risking more and losing even more. Without much education and knowledge about gambling, you may face very unwanted side effects.

Finally, even if gambling is fun and different than other activities, it is very important for us to be careful and never spend and risk the money we need, entering or depositing in a casino with a mindset of winning is very wrong, we should always except losses.

You are right that's how most gambling addiction started from because in as much as most people feel that they are gambling for fun but the moment they get overwhelmed and gamble with the money they never intend to use it becomes a very big challenge for them because what will be going through there mind at that moment is the possible way they could get the money back and perhaps the only thing that would come to there mind is to put more money in other to win back the money and if on the process he loses the current money he will still have the mindset of getting it back again and before you no a fun gambler has turn into a gambling addict.

That is why is very important that in as much as majority of people gambles because of fun is always advised to only use the money that would not affect the person if should incase the gambling goes on the opposite direction because these has been one of the reasons why most people has become a victim of gambling addict because I no of someone who start this way to catch fun but with time he could no longer control himself on gambling and at the end it did not end well so perhaps that's the reason why people should have control over there gambling habits.

people do unbelievable things when they get desperate, especially when they are faced with financial problems, when they realize that they don't have enough money to pay bills every month, so they get desperate, take out loans or steal money. but they also start playing in casinos or betting houses and every time their accounts get tight, they get more desperate and increase the amount of money they usually gamble, for example, this story I read today when I was searching for a certain news item.


source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/1hNf8MNX32YTmzXfvT88JWr/i-stole-1-75-million-to-fund-my-gambling-addiction

the guy had a job that paid little salary, and from what I've observed in all the time I've been involved in gambling, most cases of people who become addicted are because they make money, but they see that what they earn is In the real world, whether it's salary or business, it wasn't enough to pay bills, they start playing for fun, in the beginning they are responsible people who manage money well. The problem starts the day they win at games of chance and realize that they have won almost or more money in relation to their salary, so they start playing to earn money. That's why, in my opinion, people who have financial problems shouldn't play, people with emotional problems shouldn't play.

To be honest with you, I used to believe that one could actually have fun gambling, not minding if he or she loses money in the process, this was before I started gambling myself.
But after I started gambling and having first hand experience of what it feels like to gamble and lost money, my take on this matter began to change, and right now, I've come to believe that it's practically impossible for someone to gamble and not be interested in making profit, that is, I would say that a hundred percent of people who gamble; gamble with the intention of making money in return, and this I can confirm from the fact that if ability to make money was or is removed from gambling, and people just have to spend money to gamble without the possiblity of getting anything as profit in return, even when they win a game, more than 99 percent of gamblers today will stop gambling.

Gamblers want to win, right? No doubt, but it's not only about money. It's about winning and feeling good. Humans love to conquer the unfamiliar, it's primal. Realise that not all gamblers want to win. Another kind enjoys the volatility. They reverse the stereotype of a gambler. Winning is a bonus, not central. How about hypocrisy? Some people say they gamble for fun to protect their ego, but isn't that emotional intelligence? Not lying to themselves, they're managing expectations. Not hypocrisy, but a clever risk management approach

In essence, every gambler who plays a gambling game, they are indirectly looking for their luck there or looking for profit at the gambling table, whether the person is having fun or not. It's just that typical people who have fun at gambling are right in what you say, they don't care whether they win or lose, they are much more prepared to lose their funds at the gambling table. This is different from those gamblers who have minimal funds, They look for additions to their living funds by hoping to win there without thinking about the impact.

Yes. the most important thing is to look at what we do in gambling, don't think that we will get money from gambling, one's self-control will be very at stake in gambling, not only the money is at stake there but mentalittas and the worst risks also accompany us in gambling activities.

It is necessary to be aware of bad things, consciously or unconsciously we will easily fall into a pit of great loss if we do not have awareness about the potential for losing more money than what we have budgeted before for fun, occasionally we will definitely think when the balance has run out in gambling and the gambling we do feels less bearable, and think maybe once again will get lucky, the fact is that gambling is not that simple in giving victory to people who have eaten ambition to try to get lucky.

I'm going to say something that I think it's a fact that all gamblers come with the intention and goal of making a win, but we have to understand that there are differences in terms of the way of thinking and the approach they have which is that there are some gamblers who are too pushy about winning which is those who always do various excessive actions just to pursue victory like gambling addicts, and there are also some gamblers who do not push too hard for victory in the sense that they will take the victory if they are lucky, but if the results at the end of the session do not match their expectations then they usually do not force the situation, which they prefer to stop and accept the fact that at that time they were unlucky so they lost and they prefer to continue their gambling session at another time. This means that responsible gamblers who have the right understanding will not care about whatever the outcome is at the end of the session, simply win or lose they will still be able to quit. So the bottom line is don't put excessive expectations on winning in gambling because after all it is nothing more than a "possibility".

Even if we are gambling to enjoy, relax or for fun entertainment, we are still risking to gain profit or to win.
We couldn't deny that profit would always be part of the reason why we gamble.

Yes, one thing I realize and I know very well is that everyone that gamble is for the sake of making money nobody gamble for fun if there is sunset gambling just because they feel like gambling and they want to catch more fun. It is nothing more than a waste if you are gambling your gobbling for the truth you seriously want to make money more necessary strategy to put in your gambling so you can be able to get what you want is not just what you think it is is a game of understanding and sometimes people do manipulate on it so you shouldn’t gamble, but I know some people gamble because they just feel like playing games and they are not serious about it. I’m also the stick money that is people to have more money.

Few percentages of people are interested in gambling as a fun. But the maximum percentage if people make gamblers only for making money from gambling and while they earn profit from the gambling then the people can enjoy the game as fun.

Its only a newbie or fool that will risk his money on bet with the intention of making profits from it, because gambling is not a means to any gambler for making profits, we often make loss while gambling than we make winnings, anyone gambling must have this understanding and be ready of tsking the responsibility of taking risk with the money he is using to gamble either he can make win or forfeit the whole money for gambling loss.

Op sincerely speaking the title of this thread is totally different from the body. If I where to emphasis on this, i would really say that %80 of Gamblers gamble for the money and not for fun. Because no body would risk a reasonable amount just because you want to take risk, as far as I know, what is worth risking for is something that would yield a better result. and not just for risking sake without a result. No body would love to answer the name a risk taker for fun without achieving anything

Not only the newbie but sometimes, even those pioneers in gambling is risking their own money just for the sake of having large bet equivalent to large winnings in return, It is really depends to a person because there are times that gambling is worth the risk, you need to think carefully and follow your instincts because it may become true. Sometimes, putting our money at risk is kinda difficult to manage but if you have a good financial management, you will get along those risk.

I don’t doubt the fact that, most gamblers almost gamble because of the money, the desire to make profit out of their stake than let it rely on just fun. There is a fun part in gambling for sure but, gambling often is about having to make that extra cash from your guts on a predicted outcome.
Getting to the fun part, there is always that thrilling feel when, your money is at stake on a game, your watching this game, seeing how it is drifting away from your prediction, the near misses, the opposition having to press hard on your supporting team, the wheel spinning even more slowly close to or away from your bet and other ways in which the game could play with your emotion. It’s an emotion on another level which, you only get to feel when your money is at stake.
You don’t get that if your not a gambler, it’s just something only gamblers would understand but, you don’t make yourself an addict to the game in the process.

Basically, no gambler wants to lose when playing gambling, no gambler feels happy when they lose. All gamblers want to win because by winning they can feel the pleasure of gambling. I also believe that gambling is for fun, but it doesn't rule out the possibility that winning is the main goal too.

It's just that, as you said, the only difference is funds, large funds and minimal funds. For those who have minimal funds, most of them look for income from the gambling table which makes them have the mindset that gambling is where they make money, not for fun. In contrast to gamblers who have large funds, they are looking for fun and profit. Even when they lose they can relax and enjoy the gambling game because when they lose they still have a lot of money.

Not all gamblers have the same reason why they gamble in a casino. There are others who gamble because they think they might get lucky, or others who think the casino is a hope; they don't think about the risk, but there are others who are really risk-takers in playing gambling, and others are for fun.

So it means that there seems to be something wrong with the topic that was made, because not all players are willing to take a risk in gambling. Although gamblers should be willing to lose when playing in a casino, they should not expect to win or get lucky.

Just because one is able to make something out of gambling, we were able to experience such a big market for gambling. Consider gambling platforms that give you appreciation for your winnings with no money. Will gambling be this popular? No, it is all because of the money involved. People use it more. A small percentage of the gamblers consider it for fun, which means they just allocate funds and keep gambling and enjoy it if it brings them a big win. If the scenario isn't supportive, they take a break. However, even the person who prioritises gambling for fun will feel bad if he has been losing for a long time without winning any money.

This is something most gambling addicts fail to understand. Increasing the amount for a single bet would lead to a quick consumption of our bankroll. It is something that is hardly controlled by most gamblers, i dont know if they rather see all their money gone before they realize that what they are doing is actually wrong. Imaging placing abet of 5$ and you lost then they start feeling increasing the bet to 10$ or 20$ would make them win. Its totally wrong, what makes someone win in a bet is when they choose the right odds or make the luckiest predictions.

I believe betting gradually with little amount would rather yield success that loss. At least there are more chances of winning from the several bets that the small amount could turn out.

When someone chooses to play gambling, of course they all have different reasons for each gambler and what every gambler definitely gets is a loss and the casino has the advantage of every gambler who bets on their gambling, but for those who can gamble for fun Of course they will not experience too many losses because when they gamble they will know when to gamble and when they should stop their gambling activities.
For those who don't take risks when gambling, of course the gambling they play is not aimed at winning and they gamble just for fun.

Everything can't be in the same direction for all the individuals in this world, there will be some individuals that are gambling for entertainment and others that are gambling for profit. Both set of gamblers can be having fun and getting the best experience that they'll need therefore we don't have to say they aren't enjoying their time or not. Everything isn't about money as there are some individual that money isn't their problem since they have enough of it and just want to have a good time gambling.

Some people loves to risk their money with expectations that they'll get more money when gambling if they're lucky they'll be successful but this doesn't happen all the times as gamblers are losing more than they're making and this is why we have many gamblers getting frustrated from gambling as they'll losing their money to gambling yet they can't stop gambling as they are now gambling addicts.

your statement is not bad, but their are three set of gambler you should know about. * The one's who gambler to earn for a living * the one who gamble for fun * the ones who gamble just in the name of betting his/she club. But the world see the one's who gambles just to earn for a living as the addicted one's,  so if you're any of this categories that means you've find yourself in gambling life. Their are set of people who can risk everything they've just to place a bet and with the process they lose it all, and this set people are the addicted ones but those ones that gambles for fun. Don't really take gambling that serious more like the addicted ones, whenever they like they gamble most times they gamble twice in a week. This people aren't really into the money aspect but just they feel doing it for the love they have for football. And those ones who gambles because their club are paying, aren't really into the money as well but just doing it to prove to their club how far they can go for them. This my opinion towards this.

Prioritizing making money from gambling over seeing it a game is one the reasons why gambling addiction is rapidly increasing by the day, it is a bitter truth but the truth must be told that gambling should only be seen as a fun play or game and not for the reason of maximizing profit, reason being that no matter how long you have been in to gambling there is no 100 percent or no guarantee of you having the possible outcome of your prediction or incurring a winning, even gambling expertise losses money let alone a newbie, am still of the opinion that gambling should be seen as a fun or game rather than a means of maximizing profits irrespective of the fact that majority more than 80 percent are gambling to make profits , it is a wrong perspective or approach towards gambling.

What you need to understand is that people were not too involved in gambling like this before but due to the economic hardship and lack of jobs have made a lot of people see gambling as an escape root to poverty and also to enrich themselves that is why the rate of gamblers have been increasing because everyone is just looking for where to make money easily but they forget to know that gambling is not reliable so it is better to find physical Jobs and do instead of becoming addicted to gambling with the belief that it will pay one day and continuous dependency on gambling will only make them become addicts and unable to quit instead of enriching themselves they are likely to keep losing in the process. No one is an expert in gamb and it will be very bad if a gambler only sees gambling as the only way out of poverty even if some people were lucky to make it through gambling it doesn't mean every one can also make it through gambling.

Apparently, people gamble to make money but nowadays I see people who always say they don't gamble for money but rather they gamble for fun which is absolutely lie, no matter how wealthy someone is he can't gamble for fun, if they said they like the vibe they get while gambling I will agree with them but saying they gamble for fun is a big fallacy  though there's an extent one will be rich he won't be so concerned while gambling cause he knows it's a loss or win game.

Yes I agree with that Op, because there is no way someone is gambling foe only foe fun and not for profit making. Then it is better for the gambler to dash people the people then they bless you with prayers. That eighty percent is low as for me, it is ninety percent and it is only the remaining 10% is for leisure time. All those people that are saying that they are playing for fun is not telling us the truth. Why rich people also gamble to win money? Because they need more money. Everyone gamble foe gain.

Really, you that only the rich have the ability to gamble for fun? Because at some level anyone can become over anxious to make some money and also being able to spear some amount to have fun with regardless of they gambling or at a bar, I think both the rich and the middle class people have such mindset.


But then also gambling should be done with the understanding of the risk involved and also not taking it as a means to get rich quick not for any reason.

I agree with you in some parts, but I still disagree with you in others. I agree with you that some people are gambling for the sake of money, but whenever you ask them about their gambling activities, they are going to tell you that they are just gambling for fun, but they really want money from gambling and not fun, but they do deceive people that they are not after money from gambling.
 
But I will tell you that there are still a few people who do gamble for fun, not that if they win, they won’t make use of the money, but they are not desperately in need of money from gambling, they just have fun whenever they are gambling and they move ahead, but I will say people like this are very few.

You are right,there is no man that is into gambling that is not concerned with winning or making profit,the moment they start gambling and they begin to lose, you will see that ,they will start grumbling and complaining that the game is not favouring them.like you said,that some persons say that they gamble for fun,that isn't still true because in as much as they are gambling for fun,they are still wishing,hoping and anticipating for a win.The fun they call it is not really a fun,it can only be fun when you have won,but if you are still on the losing side,I don't know why it will look like a fun to you who is despirately in need of money.

It's a desire that has existed in man kind since we first learned the ability to trade. Everyone is looking for a shortcut to wealth, to put a smaller amount compared to the larger amount they get back out. That is where the excitement comes from in gambling and it would be rather boring to even attempt it unless you're hoping to walk away with a profit. if you don't want to make money, then there are millions of other games out there that you can play instead for a different kind of satisfaction, because kets face it - slot games can be rather dull and repetitive unless you get financial reward back out of it.

Whenever money is involved, nobody should be taken out of the equation because even the richest men on the surface of the earth are still looking for the money till date. What I will be more convinced about is that, while people gamble for money, they also derive pleasure in it which is where the fun comes in. Since, gambling is also to be characterised as a game, played by people, then, it is automatically fun for people to play it while they get the money in the process. This asertion will be more correct to me to say rather than saying one is not gambling for money but just for fun.
