Some people among us are no getting what the meaning is. This is an example:


It is not gambling for fun only. That is not complete. It is gambling for fun and not seeing gambling as a way of making money
It is what we want newbie gamblers to read to remember if they lose huge amount and know they should only gamble to have fun and not a way of making money
It means huge amount should not be used to gamble
It means using gambling to make money is irresponsible gambling habit for the rich not to become poor
It also means gambling should not be taking your time that supposed to be used for important things
It means people should not be addicted to gambling
It means gambling can be good but if gambling responsibly
It means if gambling is taking money from you than expected, quit gambling as you are not gambling for fun and the later outcome can be bad.

You can by beer to have fun and not seeing it as a waste of money. You can give a friend little amount of money in a way he may want to give you back but you will not collect it as you see it as small amount, telling him it is a small amount of money. Only such money like that, that are small in amount set aside should only be used for gambling. That is the meaning. The fun you see there does not necessary mean fun. Just like an ideom.

The idea behind gambling is rooted in our desire for risk, reward , and entertainment. Some people engage in gambling not just for making money but also for the thrill of taking chances and social interactions. As gambling it’s not just limited to staking bets as we call it. Some gamble by playing poker, whot and Luda etc because it provides opportunity for socializing and competitions. While others are motivated to gamble for just the financial gain

I play video games for fun and I spent money on skins and points, now that we have play to earn game, it's even making more sense to spend money to get more fun, whether you like it or not, money is a part why we gamble, but the fear of losing your Mr cool guy in the real world is why we want to be responsible in gambling, that's not too much to ask for.

Those who risk a lot on gambling are doing it to make money only, those who aren't too concern about making money spend their time to add fun deriving from the games they play, in return they use small amount of money all the time.

Also those who responsible gamblers are not asking much from gambling, they want to have good time and also make few money if possible, such people will never get intoxicated by gambling.

Depend on your jobs, learn trading, invest your money in good assets and hope for the best, be a gambler who don't want his life dream fulfilled by gambling, it could still happen but don't depend on it from gambling, it's too unrealistic.

I doubt socializing and competing are main motive anymore for gambling esports that online casino are already popular now. It’s more own lquick gain” objective rather than socializing because most gambler nowadays doesn’t frequently use chats to interact when login in the casino.


I like this interpretation of having fun. We sometimes spend our money to get fun/entertainment. Same as gambling, we are paying for the chance to win money through taking risk which gives the entertainment part. People that missing the whole point of entertainment are frequently those focus on gains alone and forgot to cherish the games when they are taking risk.

I think the right approach is to this issue is that every gambler should know that they money they bring into a gambling establishment, while real money, is something that could be lost. If you come in a casino with 100$ and intend to wager those, you could lose 100% of the capital with just a single wager. So the "just play for fun" attitude is actually quite realistic. But of course it's also up to interpretation.

For instance, if you have 1 hour to kill, you might as well spend it gambling. However, if you come in with all your money you made in a month, you could also very well lose it within that one hour. There's other principles that have to be followed here also. If you have any amount of money you can comfortably put aside and some of that to spend on yourself, only of that should be ever entering into a gambling establishment. So if you adjust your bet value, you could sit for an entire hour without losing everything immediately.

All in all, I think the "just play for fun" mindset is something good to share as a catchall because people need to understand that the odds are against them in winning. But for sure other principles should be applied to. Surely being interested in the amounts you play with increases enjoyment especially if you win, but you shouldn't play with what you can't afford to lose. So fun remains the primary "non problematic" indicator of gambling for me still.

Simply put, I think gambling for fun as a way to gamble that it doesn't affect or have negative impact in your life in all ramifications (financially and health).

Gambling for fun doesn't mean you wouldn't like winning money or you will be fine losing money but it has to do with you gambling within the ambit  of responsible gambling.

  Why people are constantly admonished to gamble for fun especially for the newbie gamblers it is to remind them that gambling isn't a means to financial freedom and  failing to heed to that ideal perception of gambling for fun then addiction becomes inevitable towards such gambler. And we all know what addiction can cause to it's victim.

People that wants to gamble for financial gain may lose and later blame themselves. These kind of people need to be wise and also use just small amount of money to gamble. That makes people that says gambling for fun and not ways of looking for money to be very correct. For social interaction, it will be common among land based gamblers. Most people today are not land based gamblers but online gamblers and looking for money gamblers will be more than those looking for social interaction. But irrespective of any, we should go the way of not wasting money on gambling.

To my perspective, the agitations of not gambling with the aim of making profit is to verbally assist those gamblers who are unable to control their gambling emotions to the points of ruining their life at the cost gaining income.
There is absolutely no one of those who preaches that gambling is for fun and not for making money that would have their funds spent on a wasted manner claiming to have fun.
Typically, if you really want to spend your fund playing games for funs they you should visit the game center where you can have some visual or physical games either Action-adventure games, Multiplayer online battle arena games, Third person shooter games, Platforming games, Adventure games, First person shooter games, Escape room games and Fighting games Etc andi get if you looses you would feel lot of funs that would encourage you to sit up for the next tournaments. You can even Walk in the game center with friends, family or relatives to catch this funs together. I have read about a thread that discussed that gambling in front of your kids is not good but here you can take a chance of challenging with these kids when. You  stick to game for funs. I think more of funs are derived from this system better than going to the casinos and other gambling boards.
The attributes of gambling for fun is just to encourage and advices gamblers not to stake with what is not affordable to lost on the for just funs while gambling which indirectly they are all chasing after profits.

Everyone who engages with gambling activities will really have a tendency to lose their money because of the risk present, and that's a normal thing in this industry. Regardless if you are after huge or small amount of money, as long as there's an expectancy of profit, you will be categorized under gamblers who are after money from this industry. People who claims to be gambling for fun just happened to afford the consequences which is loss. Meaning, they won't be in deep feelings of frustration and regrets no matter what the outcome is, unlike with people who are only after profit that gets too emotional especially after losing an aount of their bankroll. Idea is; the more you exect, the more it affects you. Also with interaction, it depends on the individual, 'coz you could not be sociable even with landbased casinos, same thing with how  gambler enjoys the experience.

This has always been said to gamble only for fun and don't go too much expecting that you'll be fortunate to win a fortune through it. While in some cases, they're winning a lot and became rich through gambling but that's them and not ours. We have to change our approach as we gamble for us not to get hurt much emotionally when we do. Everyone is free to have fun as long as you can take the loss that you're about to spend with that money of ours. The wrong thought about gambling is that when a gambler tastes some few wins, that changes his perspective that it's possible to get rich on it. Change the attitude towards gambling and just enjoy as much as you can. If you win, nice, if you lose then move on.

I do not see anything wrong in both viewpoints. But of you are neither correct or wrong and we do not have for compel one person to accept our viewpoint. Our live experiences have forced us develop opinions on several life issues. Oshosondy, you have always advocated for responsible gambling which is to gamble for fun based on your past experience. And this message is geared towards newbies.

For Fivestar4everMVP his own life experience has made him to adopt that viewpoint too and there is nothing wrong with that.  We do not all have to agree. The crucial thing here is that so long as you are gambling and you do not get addicted to it whether you do it for fun or for the money then by all means it is fine.

What I understand by gambling for fun is simply not to have the mindset that you want to make huge profit from gambling and you can only achieve that fun thing about gambling by not having the profit mindset in gambling. In other words, you have to reduce your risk appetite in your gambling and stake just a meager amount that will make your heart beat not be doubled when you lose  ;D

But the point is how many people really come gambling because you want to have fun?  ??? Hahaha. If you want to have fun and you mean to have fun then there other ways to have fun. You can find your to a video game centre, search the internet for games to play, go swimming with your wife or friends or go watch matches live without staking on them. If you make a stake then you are probably not going to be having fun with that because your is emotions is attached to the money you have staked and expected to win.

The idea behind true gambling is to catch some fun and definitely make some money from it also. No matter how rich or how nice a persons financial status is they are never happy when the lose in gambling activities. Generally humans don't like it when they lose and that is natural. The problem is not the fin part but rather the money making part.
Sometimes some people get involved in gambling activities with their motive towards making money their uptimost priority. Most of the time they get their financial judgement clouded and begin making wrong gambling decisions like over staking. Gamblers wish to make money too but the catch is as a gambler make sure to set your limits and maintain discipline.

This topic has been widely discussed in previous threads, but similar ones popping up are quite common. Gambling isn't a means of making money or obtaining a secondary source of income. Those who treat it that way will eventually get burned. Unfortunately, though, due to unrealistic expectations shown by people of influence on social media or simply by those who only portray their winnings, a large number of people expect to make money from it. Certainly, the aspect of achieving high yields that gambling is promising is tempting, and without it, no one would likely participate, myself included, of course, but it shouldn't be treated as a potential way to earn money; it's not an investment, and a large number of gamblers end up losing.

Don't fall into the vicious cycle of believing that you can recoup your losses or that you can turn this into a living just because you happened to win a few times or because you claim to know about sports betting.

People are just conditioning their self so that they will not feel the stress brought up by gambling or the consequences of their action done since if they really aim to win there for sure pure frustration will be get by them especially that their targets has not been hit.

All of us want to win but this is actually hard to get on gambling especially if people try to aim passive income that's why there are other people just say gamble to have fun so that they would not get frustrated and can easily recover once they lose big since they already condition or convince their selves that they are here just to have fun.

Right. Sure some people gamble for cash but it's all about finding the sweet spot between fun and responsibility. Responsible gamers want to enjoy themselves and make a bit of cash without going overboard. In real life it's smarter to mix things up like stable jobs, learning trading and investing in real stuff so bet your dreams on gambling like you said. Keep it real and enjoy the game without banking everything on it

I may not have to blame as many as possible gamblers who have already got the wrong idea and motive about what gambling is, they couldn't find a means of rescue to livelihood by the virtue of their economy or background as well as their government influence not in favor of the upcoming youths, so what they might have left on them to take as an alternative is in seeking for a means of living through gambling and that is why so many of them are addicted and busy running after losses because they cant afford to loose the money used on gambling when they know and understand what is at stake.

These two things will of course always be the same and only gamblers can differentiate between these things, if they have a lot of money it will never be a problem for them whether they win or lose in gambling and for those who don't have a lot of income of course they expect to win in gambling which is they play.
When someone bets more of the money they have, of course they will get another, bigger win, but without them realizing it, they will not necessarily get that win and if they cannot control themselves, this will of course destroy themselves.

I think that it's correct to say that we don't really gamble mainly because of having fun, we gamble because humans likes to be adventurous, otherwise I don't see any other reason why you'll bet your money, knowing that the probability of loosing is far greater than winnings, yet we go ahead with it. So having fun can be a part of it but the main reason would be for the risk and reward. I've raised a topic on this gambling discussion board where I asked if gambling for fun is something that we tell ourselves to feel good t, and I got many backlash for the thread, but the truth remains that our reasons for gambling goes beyond merely having fun, we want to challenge the odds and win money.

Well, I can definitely buy all this your interpretation for fun, but honestly, how many newbie gamblers are going to understand that this things you said here is what gambling for fun means?
I think it's better for us to all the time, keep things plain and simple, so newbies don't get confused by it.
And one thing again you probably may not know is that, experienced gamblers gamble for fun more than newbies do, I will explain.

It is hard to find a newbie who will come into gambling just for the sole purpose of having fun, most especially the not rich ones, now don't quote me wrongly, rich men, or boys and girls who's parent are rich, living a frivolous lifestyle may definitely come into gambling as part of living their fun lifestyle, but for a poor boy who's looking for all means to change his financial situation, last thing you wanna tell such a person is to come waste the little money he has to feed on; on gambling simply for no reward but for fun.
Most poor people are desperate for money, and gambling for fun is often not in their dictionary when ever you see one gambling, for such people, it is simply experience that teaches them to gamble to have fun and not make making money off gambling a priority.

The above is from my personal experience, when I first came into gambling, I was poor, and came with this mindset of turning $1 to 1 million dollar just few week, I started gambling, weeks passed, months passed, and years passed, I still hasn't been able to turn $1 to a million dollars, and now, with my experience, I came to understand that making money from gambling is not as easy as I initially thought, and now, I am forced to gamble and simply take in good faith; what ever be the outcome, which in other words, can be equated to gambling for fun - according to your interpretation of gambling for fun.


So, in the nutshell, experience is what teaches a poor man to simply gamble for fun, poor people desperate for money don't usually come into gambling simply to have fun.

Conditions and attitudes of each gambler will always be different towards the end result of gambling so that even if they lose, if the goal is really to have fun, feelings of stress and frustration will not occur.
Likewise, if the goal is to make money and hope to win then it is clear that they will always feel like they have failed and will never be able to feel joy or satisfaction from the pleasures of gambling.
Now this will always happen forever because all gamblers will never have the same goals and approaches to gambling activities.

Of course, because in gambling, the thing that is always guaranteed is defeat and we all as gamblers must be aware of this, but in reality it will never be possible for all gamblers to have good approach because they have some kind of belief.
This belief is related to winning and also possible results in making money, they will continue to have this belief until they actually succeed in getting it.
That is why many gamblers experience problems such as addiction, attempts to recover losses or even financial problems.

When you are gambling for fun means that you have already accepted whatever outcome that your bet will be, and it wouldn't matter to you, because it is something that you don't care about, winning or losing. This is why one should only use the amount of money that he can afford to lose on gamble. You should also have a time limit for your gambling activities, so that you don't get carried away with gambling, because it can lead you to addiction when you gamble too much. When you gamble responsible that is when you will enjoy the fun in gambling, but when you don't have self control over your gambling activities.

Also, it is an addition to the entertainment factor and not to make it a day job.  ;D

It's sad that many gamblers see it the wrong way. It's true that those who gamble for fun don't want to lose their money, who does? It's damn frustrating when that happens. But, we should not take away the fact that we should be having fun while trying to win against the house.
Sometimes gamblers are fed with the wrong idea especially if they keep on watching streamers who only show the good things that happen to them and not the bad ones. Then, there are those fake gambling streamers who are not really using their own money but they are funded by whatever gambling site they are promoting.
When newbies are pulled into this and have the thought to mimic it, that's when it all goes wrong. The purpose becomes different and they are actually not having fun anymore but instead being serious about winning everything every day which is impossible. I think I've played enough and wasted enough money to see that. RTP is surely there but it won't be like giving you everything back. Do the math using the house edge.

In my opinion, it probably depends on the player and their purpose for gambling, whether it's purely for fun or a desire to make money. We know that money is indeed involved in gambling, and when we place a bet, we expect the possibility of winning. However, for those who are aware of the potential outcomes, winning becomes a bonus if their primary goal is simply entertainment. In my view, finding a balance between enjoying the excitement of gambling and maintaining financial responsibility is crucial.

Responsible gambling activities will not harm gamblers. they understand that they are getting enjoyment from the games they paid for. The problem of hoping to get that win is another pleasure that all gamblers should understand.
Indeed, what is attractive about casinos or other gambling places is the promotion of winning opportunities offered. they don't advertise the fun of the game but the lure of easy wins that can be won on their site.
However, responsible gamblers can limit the finances they can afford to gamble at the casino. it has to be planned and don't take all your money in your wallet to the casino, it's quite dangerous.

This topic has been discussed before in other threads, but to share opinions and experiences, there is no harm in my opinion.
Gambling should be done for fun not to make money, although there is a chance to make money but it will not be able to get it for sure. Because gambling is only likely to end in defeat. Therefore, if our goal for gambling is to make money then it is wrong. The possibility is that it will only trigger our emotions to overflow to make us lose self-control which leads to losses.

Gambling for fun is a good choice, as much as possible we should be able to use money that must be prepared to lose, because most likely the money that is bet on gambling will be lost. So we should be ready to lose the money at stake.

Gambling is a fun thing but yes when one goes to gamble.  His aim is to win in gambling because he can make a profit in this field, so when one grows financially, there is already joy in him.  And since gambling is a hollow game, playing the game is also a different kind of fun.  All in all, gambling is fun.  Those who accept before gambling that they are going to lose their money will have more fun, but if one thinks before gambling that he will gamble because he can profit from it, then he will not have the real fun of gambling.

You are very correct and i completely agree with you, gambling for fun and gambling for monetary purposes is completely based on the person gambling, it is completely based on them and their financial situations, as like I stated before, some people are already very rich that, what they are looking for is what to spend their money on, and in this aspect, gambling is always one way rich people spend their money having fun, not minding how much they lose in the process, because for some of them, it's not actually losing but paying for the excitement they through gambling.

On the other, we can also see the average people who gamble, not completely for fun per say, but experience have thought them to always take whatever that come from their gambling activities, for it can't be changed, and this is why we still see several gamblers who show some form or regrets in different categories after experiencing a loss in gambling.
If gambling was generally a fun activity and everyone understands and agree to this, then no body should show regret any time they lose a bet, but unfortunately, people do and this proves otherwise that, gambling is not really fun for everyone.

I have always maintained that it depends on the perspective of the individual involved in the gambling act, because when one starts doing it as fun, losing or winning might matter much in the long run wherein the gambler might see it as a lucky day because they feel lucky or a losing day because the burdens in the mind and challenges of life currently.

I prefer gambling for fun and wouldn't mind playing one or two more games if I find luck with the slightest win in the heat of the moment.
What I avoid is to repeat same gambling feat of yesterday today, simply because of the acceptable result of yesterday.

I don't think there are people who gamble for fun, maybe if you are putting in a very small amount of money, then i can believe you are trying to have fun and also see if you will be lucky and win some money. I.e. so many people love football and they like to put a little amount of money on their favorite team to win, and their rivals to lose, that can be said to be fun.

However, irresponsible gamblers gamble just to make money, somone would not stake a huge sum of their money for fun, when they know they can lose it and be left with nothing. Gambling addicts would never agree that gambling is fun, they only want to become rich through it.

I think a much better phrase for this is, seeing gambling as a casual hobby 🤔

If I'm gonna be completely honest, what makes gambling mainly fun is because there is a money at risk and there is a chance we can turn it to several folds -- people get the dopamine rush from this. you know, that excitement and anticipation lol

But if we see it as a hobby/form of entertainment and not some sort of way to turn your life around or make a living out of it, then I think people are more likely to make level headed decisions AKA be a responsible gambler.

This also goes to show that majority of the people who gamble for profit are also the ones who view it as a means of earning income. But in reality, they are placing themselves in a situation where they would further incur losses overtime due to the presence of house edge.

Perhaps we really cannot change the perspective of these people given on how gambling, as a whole, is advertised as a game of chance. Both results can result to either a person winning tons amount of cash or losing more that they could afford in the process.


I humbly submit that there are people who view gambling as a form of entertainment.

I guess only a small fraction of people who has lots of money at their disposal may enjoy gambling as a whole. They like to feel that satisfaction of winning against the anxiety of losing- which are the competitive people in general (e.g. Michael Jordan, etc.).

Some gamble because they want money for financial needs.
Some gamble for fun they can afford to do this because there are other sources of income so when they lose it doesn't matter what.

Determine then your criteria and in terms of experience because more suggest gambling not for a successful passive income it is unlikely that you will lose spending all the capital.

At the moment, just do the responsibility where when you money can play if not then next time there must be time to play just that.
But about a lot of experience it is clear that we have experienced it but now it is more improved than chasing profits.

I don't find it a reasonable purpose to have fun for others to play gambling. Come on people. Winning is more fun. Don't take gambling just to have fun. Take seriously every of your gambling session. Even playing luck-based games, once you already reached the fun of getting a decent profit, take a break and enjoy your winnings.

The real fun is when you win and use the winning money outside gambling.

I understand both users' views however I don't think the example that OP gave can be considered appropriate things.

People spend money just for sightseeing or tourism. There is no financial gain in visiting tourist sights, yet people still spend money because they see it as entertainment. The belief that people gamble mainly for profit is not totally correct. From observation, many people gamble for money but it is not all gamblers that have such an orientation. The population might be small but people still gamble for fun.

For me, gambling is both for fun and the money. I do not have any intention to go and lose money in the casino because I am not Father Christmas, I intend to make money. However, I do not see gambling as a source of income and I don't gamble with more than what I can afford to lose. If I win it is a lucky day, but if I don't I will comfortably bear the loss.       

No matter how you twist this, gambling for fun will never make sense to me because I do not see any fun gambling with my money. Assuming that there were fun in gambling, the fact that money is involved, emotions will be engaged and this will dissipate the fun. If we treat gambling as fun, we might become careless, not adhering strictly to rules and strategy made to ensure the gambler protect his capital and manage his winnings effectively. Therefore, I see gambler as a business which require that the gambler remained focused and disciplined. In addition, since it involves money, proper money management must be put in place so the gambler do not get carried away by fear, greed or a combination of both.

Gambling is entirely large and very hard to fully comprehend because when you say we shouldn't spend time on gambling how do we enhance our skills or becoming more acquainted with it to know how to predicts and master the rest things? Sometimes the impression people gives in gambling makes us not understand the better way to follow it all, why because you will see someone who doesn't want to spend time and yet looking for a way win big from gambling.

Is this normal or is there any shortcut to it when you don't give quality time to what you are doing; based on my understanding before you could master anything or become more familiarized with it you should have developed your time and energy to study about that particular thing very well than just giving it little time and expect a great result from it, you can never reap where you didn't spend time to understand the logic behind the whole progression of that events be it anything in life and for that your resources, time and energy must involved to become successful in what you are doing and I think this is equivalent to gambling as well even though some of the gambling guidelines has been listed to us and of curse we shouldn't be that carried away by the intriguing profits that we could get at the later ends, where we keep spending what we can't afford to lose rather than those amount we think if given out it wouldn't cause any harm to us.

The newbies are actually going into gambling because they want to win. Basically, they want to make money. Whether we want them to look at gambling as entertainment, the desire to win will be more like wanting to make money. Even if you only want to bet with just $1 for your gambling, you still desire to make more out of it.

If a person can win and enjoy his winning I guess he can call it entertainment but for those who lost money, its not gonna be fun anymore and they want to gamble to get back that lost money.

I remember there was a thread talks about "will you keep gamble if the reward goes to the casino regardless you win or lose?" when someone replied "no, there's no point to gamble if we can't earn money" then he will say "it means you're gambling to earn money" LOL. :D

For such people, don't need to pay attention to "gambling isn't to make money" but focus to only gamble what you can afford to lose.

I see quite a lot of people who question this about why gambling should be done with the aim of having fun? This is gambling which is an activity that can stimulate the human brain and mind due to something that looks very tempting and when it turns out that the expected thing does not happen it is very likely to ultimately affect mentally and psychologically especially when someone is unable to account for his gambling activities or is unable to accept the fact of defeat at the end of the session, the reason? gambling does not have any certainty that can guarantee you to win at the end of the session because this is a risk-taking activity which means that you will not be able to avoid losing.

This is the reason why gambling should not be used as a place to earn because of course if you want to earn then the place must have the certainty of being able to produce but on the other hand gambling does not have elements that can guarantee you to always win except just "coincidence", so Therefore, it is more advisable for anyone to gamble for fun, because then there will not be too much seriousness that you attach to this activity, rather you should make gambling a place to "fill your free time" when you are on holiday. working or not having other activities, and also because you are not serious, I am sure that you will not do things that are beyond your abilities, such as betting with large budgets. On the other hand we can find indications that gambling is no longer fun when we experience tension and worry and that means we will be able to find the point of our error and of course the point of error is that you have the wrong approach, so in essence the idea of gambling for "fun" is just to divert the mind we are from what is called "seriousness". There is no significant seriousness in seeking pleasure because you will only do it when you feel like it, but it is very possible for you to gamble "without limits" when you set a goal to earn because basically everyone needs/wants money.

There's a lot of debate about gambling whether is it for fun or a way to make money, this is the exact definition of gambling.


When we go to a casino, or a lottery, or a horse betting station, or challenge a friend for a bet, we are betting or risking our money for a chance to double it so the act is a motivation for us that we want to make money from gambling.

And on the part of having fun, it is betting your money that you can afford to lose, it's not fun anymore when you put your money intended to pay a bill it's impossible to have fun doing that, your wife is going to despise you if you do that.

We all want to make money from betting it is just human to hope to make money from risking his money, all casinos are created to invite you to take a chance of doubling your money, but they don't want you to use your savings or money to pay bills which is they always remind players to only play what they can afford to lose and they expect their players to take heed of their call to gamble responsibly.

There's a thrill in playing in a casino and you want to go home still remembering that thrill and not the money that you lose intended for food, you will just hate yourself for doing that and you will forget all the fun you have. 

As in the title made by OP, that is true because I have played gambling in the casino several times just for fun, and it doesn't matter to me even if I lose because my goal is really just to have fun or just pass the time. Although sometimes, even though my motive is just like that, there is also a chance that I will also experience a win.

That's why my winnings always range from around $20 to $50. I get them in slot games and Baccarat when I'm lucky, but I really just want to have fun, and when I win like that, I stop.

Gambling for fun doesn’t mean you will lose always. It seems that you frequently lose on your gambling which means that having on a casino cost you a lot but I understand it since I can still be happy even if I lose on gambling sometimes. It’s really more fun if you frequently win rather than losing because there’s always part of you that will cling to that lose money.


Lucky 9 is a popular version of Bacarrat in my country which I really like because you will have an option to hit or stand for your own cards unlike the traditional bacarrat which you will just choose between player and dealer to bet.

Gambling they said is very risky and we can't dispute the facts that people always said we should gambling for fun while directly we always have money involved in it, no matter how we try to rephrase the whole concepts we know that gambling involves money and for that we should be very mindful on how we put our money to gamble because that is the only major interest of casino owners. Their major interest is for a gambler to never win whenever they are gambling because the more they win the more they lose money.

The casino is programmed very way hard for you and I to win, even if you must win the possibility is very low therefore gambling is never gambling when money is not involved. That is to say when you exclude money from gambling you may finds it difficult to gamble because there is no profits flowing in anymore and lots of people wouldn't mind quitting gambling because there is no benefits coming from it.

Gambling for fun is like paying a premium service, such as 5 star hotels perhaps, other than booking a cheaper one if it is just for the sake of having a roof to stay. Idea is with the experience; you could be losing in gambling but if you enjoyed the thrill, the game, nd the chance of earning profit then for sure you are entertained. Although it is not exactly the same feeling or experience but I do associate it with such instance; paying for more. If it is just for pure entertainment and putting bets aside, then you could just watch a game on television. However, betting is the flavor of watching a game. Accepting the tendency or possibility of losing is what will make a gambler enjoy gambling. But no matter how we want to look at gambling, it is a normal response to chase money for those who hope that much simply because they took the risk. They won't be chasing such feat if they're just watching and not being tensed of whatever outcome happens.

That is because you are seeing gambling as a money making method, a job or an investment. Therefore, indeed you aren't going to see any fun on this, since you are solely doing this for the income. Along your gambling session there won't be room for fun and relaxation, because you are constantly concerned about making profit from it to justify the time and money "invested" on gambling. And once you spot gambling is not working as you would like it worked, you get upset, frustrated and angry.

However, not every gamblers have the same mindset of yours. Some people just want to relax after a stressing day at the job, or to get rid of the boredom of having an idle life, what is pretty common among people who don't have any issues with money, but have issues finding what to do with their money. In these cases, gambling is going to be fun, anyway, despite the outcomes still being negative and unprofitable on long run.

It's important to keep in mind there are gamblers and gamblers. And those who are seeking for money exclusively are engaged on this activity following a wrong concept.

Everything depends on the person, if he wants to gamble to make money or have fun as long as it is money that he can afford to lose that will be fine, but if he is gambling to make money using his savings or money coming from loans and that money is a money that he should not lose, he is pressured to win and this is not fun, everything depends on the money you're using and your motivation on how you are going to use it.
So it's two things that define gambling to make money and gambling to have fun, the money where it comes from its intended to be used, and your motivation.

If you already know how to control yourself when gambling, it means you already understand how to gamble responsibly, moreover you already understand how to use the mindset of gambling which is actually just for fun, if you understand that, usually you also have can know when to gamble and when to stop gambling and then withdraw money, I think not many can do that because basically most gamblers always think that gambling is a place to make steady money for them, so they think they don't need to work anymore looking for money is just enough to gamble and make money there, even though that is clearly difficult to imagine, let alone make it a reality.

Every time we gamble, luck accompanies us, so the profits we get, if we can manage it, will definitely not be lulled by high results, just bet and win then withdraw the money, this method is more effective than thinking about continuing to play and continuing the game and ultimately losing all the money. , will definitely be regretted. That's the importance of gambling to have fun because the mind is not focused on winning, so you can enjoy the game more and it's easy to win.

I will say again like other times that we have many more options just to have fun, since we have more options to have fun then why should we take such fun with maximum risk of money. A gambler never gambles with the idea that gambling will be a lot of fun, but with the idea that he will surely win by gambling. Fun usually comes from winning because winning at gambling increases your money and you feel better when you increase your money. You ask people who lose at gambling how much they enjoy losing or how much fun they have losing their money.

Making money is hard and people risk money to make money, money is not a fun thing at all. So I would like to stay in my conclusion that there are many options for fun, we must not have such fun with maximum risk of money.

Gambling has many meaning to people but if you ask me what gambling is about, I will say it's risk people take to win something and that thing they anticipate to win is money, the only thing that keep gambling running, the reason why we have increased in the number of people that gamble are motivated by the money but I must also admit that we have some people that gamble for fun, they don't really care about the money but then again, the amount they put is always way below the amount they can afford to lose, you don't expect someone to risk big amount of money in thousands and millions to gamble unless they are trying to do money laundering.

If Gambling is really existing because of the fun, we will have less number. If there is even a casino where money is not even, like they open it free for everyone, trust me when I say people will not patronize them, they will rather go to where money is involved and where the can win something that's why I don't take people serious when they say they are gambling for fun yet you are been careful when you stake and get sad when you lose, that's not way to be fun.

people's interpretations of "gambling is for fun" may vary, some say that gambling for fun is when you gamble but you think that you don't need to take gambling too seriously or just enjoy the excitement of the game. but i see that gambling for fun is when you don't consider that gambling is not your place to be able to double your money and don't consider that it is an investment for you. the point is that you don't think that gambling is not a place to make money and you are ready for all the risks that your money will be lost.

It's possible to gamble for fun like playing play to earn games or maybe p2p gambling games, but gambling is an addictive habit and at times might still go out of control into playing for the reward, and it's good we have a level of control over our gambling habit least we use the excuse of saying we are gambling for fun to promote a bad habit and reck our finances. Im getting quite interested in fun gambling games can you recommend any to me .

People who can use gambling for fun is the lucky people. They will not try to gambling excessively because they know that will give an experience of a huge losses that they can't accept. Many people experienced much losses are tried to reduce their gambling activities and will not repeat their mistakes. They know that when they gambling, they will experience losses and if they lose control, their lose will be bigger and that will difficult to recover even if they deposit more money.

It's really not worth for people to lose much money in gambling. They will lose more money and it will increase if they can't stop gambling. They can reduce their gambling activities step by step if they feel it's hard to stop gambling directly. Stopping gambling requires much effort and also a strong intention to be able to stop immediately without any difficulties.

It is not something wrong to see gambling as a way of making money as long as we are responsible for it.
There are many professional gamblers (mostly poker players and sports bettors) in this world who use gambling as a way of making money and they can be said as succesful gamblers.
I would prefer to say, it is fine to take gambling as a way of making money but it should be done with fun and responsibility.

many people make the mistake of considering gambling for fun, because many people think it is impossible to have fun spending a lot of money, as op said the meaning of fun is just entertainment without having to expect more results, because the money used is definitely small for having fun

There is no way one can gamble for fun and don't have small intentions of gambling for money. It's hard but when we control the love of money we have we can manage to control the habit of gambling for money. One of the way we can control the habit of gambling for money is even when we lose we won't get angry because we lose. All bettors are not the same because everything there are people who's involving extra mindset on it. Like gambling I don't like gambling for fun because I don't see any reason losing my money, I can't remember when last I gamble for fun. However I am not against gambling for fun because gambling for profit making it is not a good way of making money as it's not a part time or full time job for anyone.

Sometimes when I hear that people are gambling for fun, I just laughed because its not actually for fun. Many of us gamble for increase our bank role and make more money not actually gambling for fun. The gambling world is all about trying our best with different strategies for us to make money from betting. We don't have to be over relax and try to receive ourselves that we are all in for the fun.
 We can't make money if we have in mind to gamble for the fun we are actually talking about. We all wants to make money and that is all that we care about. We want to be making money without minding what happens to others, whether they are earning or not.

Gambling is highly dependent on luck and less skill. You speak of gambling as if it is a business or a job. I don’t see the sense in spending time gambling just to get acquainted with it. How much do you think you would spend on gambling before you become acquainted with it? If you’re into sports betting, it’s normal for you to spend time researching the teams and analyzing their games before making your predictions. But for casino games, there is no need for this. Your fate rests on your lucky hand.

It is easy to say that gambling is fun but in reality gambling can be taken as fun by some people. No matter how much a gambler takes gambling as fun, after a while gambling is no longer fun for him, but gambling is considered a significant means of earning money. Suppose a gambler initially takes it as fun but after some time if he faces big losses from gambling then he takes gambling as a challenge. Gambling became a dominant source of income for him when he became busy trying to recover his gambling losses.
So no matter how much we accept gambling simply as a source of entertainment but in fact when it becomes such an addiction in people then the gambler automatically takes gambling as a source of income.

The truth is that the essence of playing gambling is to win to realise some amount of money from gambling, in doing this we need to understand gambling which we shouldn't allow the money that is involved in gambling to get into our head, this is when gambling is now wrong.  Their should be a limit and good understanding of gambling and people shouldn't just take gambling so serious by making money from it by all means . When we understand the limit of how Gambling should be played gambling will be seeing as fun and with this manner their won't be any dangerous effect in playing gambling.

Right Everyone says gambling should be used only for fun. but it is difficult to say what percentage of people actually use gambling only for fun. when one bets in gambling, everyone's objective is to win and win means profit. no one wants his bet to lose. while people don't spend a lot of time in physical casinos, people spend huge amounts of time and money in online casinos, and everyone's goal is to win.  Gambling is now ruling the online world.  Being away from here is very difficult now. However, in any case, self-control is the most important thing to survive in any situation

But like I said, it has been made clear to the person that gambling is dangerous if you are using it to chase money, that the end result or outcome may be bad. It is easy for newbie gamblers to understand that. So if they gamble and chasing money and lost money often, they will know they have read about not chasing money while gambling is true. Gambling with small amount of money will give you a peace of mind.

I don't know why some people are so naive that they don't understand such a simple thing. Streamers are not special people on the face of the earth and casino rules and algorithms are the same for them and us, so if you see that they are always winning or at least ending up on the brighter side after every gambling and streaming session, you should know that isn't what would normally happen to someone gambling.
So someone watching gambling streams and streamers should at least have some doubt about how they manage to win so much money and even if they lose, they aren't bothered much by it even if they act as if they are bothered, the reason is because it's not their money whether they win or lose, they are just getting paid to do that and promote the platforms they are using on stream.

It is so much easier to play with the smallest possible amounts and still have just as much fun gambling as if you were playing with large amounts. But this only works when you understand that getting rich through gambling or even making a steady income is technically not possible. Sure, you could, but it would take half a miracle. The math is not on your side. And yes, you could get lucky and make a lot of money once, but that is not going to happen again that seemingly easily.

Once you understand this, you will give up on chasing large winnings and stick to the tiny winnings. And it will be just as exciting and fun. The only difference is that you won't need to take a loan out on your house ::).

You both have different views about gambling, which is pretty correct from both angles.

A simple explanation of how you both are correct.
The way Mr. X perceives gambling wouldn't be the same way Mr. Z views it. Which is very common in today's society.

Mr. X may take gambling as an approach to making money, while Mr. Z takes it as fun where they spend less money in their leisure time and they tend not to stress themselves about winning or losing.

Mr. Z on the other hand, doesn't view gambling to be so because it involves money, and they tend not to risk their money for nothing sake just for fun(understanding fact) and they would like to go into a with their whole mind and strength to make sure they gain from it not by wasting time.

The truth of the matter is that every gambler has a different perspective on gamblers. Which is very understandable. You can gamble for fun while others don't  view it to be fun

For football lovers and other sports lovers, gambling is fun, and some people gamble for the money. If you are into sports gambling, there is no way you will enjoy gambling without watching football. If you watch football or other sports very well, it will make it much easier to be able to analyze when you are doing your game selection. Anyone who is into sports gambling should be ready to watch a lot of football games. Life itself is a risk, so gambling is more of a lesser risk compared to the risk some people take just because they want money. I still prefer to gamble over other things. What if I made money from the one I kept to pay my bills? I have too much interest in gambling and am already developing new strategies on how to make money from it.

Gambling is not a stream to depend on for income, rather its meant for the generation of extra changes for the pocket, we just have to look further because Gambling will definitely liquidated those persons that entirely depend on gambling for survival or stream of income. For me, gambling is fun and we just have to do what we should do in the system. Gambling for fun is never considered important because everything done is mainly for fun. We don't rush into becoming something, rather we take our time slowly and ensure we're on the right track.

Gambling is a fun activity that leads to feelings of regret. And this is a fact where someone plays gambling with the intention of relieving stress, in fact the gambling they do actually makes them feel even more stressed and even depressed, because at the end of the game and in several previous game sessions, the gambling they do only results in defeat and financial loss. . Where the person has lost an amount of money that he was not prepared to lose. Then did this loss succeed in making him aware of his bad behavior in gambling? In fact, not at all..!! In fact, this loss made him even crazier by continuing to increase the number of bets in the hope that in the next gambling session he would get a big win that would be able to compensate for the losses he experienced previously. So the gambling he did only caused a loss which led to other losses.

I don't think both of you are wrong. Honestly, If I wanted to have fun, there are many things I could think of like video game, chess, table tennis etc. So when I gamble, I gamble with the mindset that I want to win and get some extra bulks which sometimes may not happen. There's nothing fun about losses and there's no one that will be losing and be happy. Like you said, why people say gamble for fun is just to make rookies not to see gambling as a do or die affair.

They both ain't wrong. Gambling is actually a way of making money, ofcourse a lot of lives have been transformed from huge gambling wins, but not all has been lucky to experience this transformation. Those who ain't lucky are the ones who often end up with one gambling problem or the other because they spend most of their time trying hard to recover all they've lost to gambling. Every gambler cannot deny the fact that they all aim for profits but then, we need to be careful so as not to cause more problems to ourselves while chasing Profits.

Many people often gamble under the disguise of having fun. It is very okay, at least it has helped a lot of people gamble within a favourable limit while still hoping to make more money. The whole idea of seeing gambling as a fun activity is to avoid over-reliance on gambling as a source of income and means of survival. I have no issues with people who feel gambling is all about fun, provided the fun activity doesn't cause any damage.

Many people play for fun, and money is a nice bonus for them (they don't mind even losing a certain amount). But there are those who are able to earn good money from playing. Yes, this requires a lot of luck and a certain professionalism, but everyone has their own choice. If a person plays just for fun, then he can use virtual money.

Am I reading this right? Are you even serious? Just throwing away money in gambling without having to expect more results?

If you are like that why do you gamble, no offense but you are doing crazy things just to have fun.

Better switch to other entertainment activities as gambling is not for you. :)

I think it becomes a matter of logic. Razor Occam...
If it were so easy to make money with gambling, why are there so many sites that offer gambling-related activities that are actually really profitable?
many users forget that gambling is really a mathematical and statistical discussion.
Much worse! many users don't know that some providers are so profitable that they don't list on the stock market... really, are there anyone who thinks they can beat this market?  ;D it make me laughs :)

gambling is just for fun.
ok you can win and sometimes make money, but you have to have fun. if this is missing, change your hobby.

If we refer to the dangers of gambling then obviously the best decision to make is "don't gamble at all", this is the best choice if you absolutely do not want to lose money for nothing, and if you still want to engage in gambling then obviously the choice is that you must be able to accept the fact of losing at the end of the session and never gamble with the idea and purpose of "wanting to make money" because it is a bad idea that you can never achieve unless you are a croupier or casino owner yourself.

After all, casinos are a business to benefit the house in the sense that anyone who tries to take advantage of the situations and opportunities that exist in gambling then usually the opposite happens is that you will actually lose a lot of money slowly and sometimes it's not realized. One of the reasons why gambling is better as a place to seek entertainment because there is absolutely no certainty that can guarantee you to always win at the end of the session, and as you said I hope that most novice gamblers can understand about the facts that exist in gambling so that they are not lost or wrong way that ultimately makes them suffer a lot of problems in their lives.

Well, that's how it should be. But let's admit the fact that  majority are seeing gambling as a way to make money. One of the reason why many of us are becoming addicted, it's because of the desire to gain and setting aside the play for fun reminder. If there's no money involved it won't be that exciting, the possibility to gain huge in snap and can make a gambler an instant rich is what attract them the most.

But I do agree that gambling is not a way to make money and should be treated solely to have fun,
(if you win that's an incentives). However, we can't coerce everyone to do as we say since we have our own way of thinking. It's their money anyway, so let them spend their money that way they wanted. Because in the end they'll be the one to face the consequences of their action.

If you have told me that gambling is an activity to be self-reliant, I might agree, but you can't tell me that gambling is for fun; no one will use his money to lose; that is just the fact, and if really you are doing it for fun, I see no reason why you will get angry when you lose or even think of toping more money to play and get your money back; that shows that gambling is just a scheme to gain money, but people tend to deceive themselves by thinking gambling is for fun. I can assure you that there is no fun in losing; that is just a fact. 

All we need to understand about gambling is that it is a game of luck, so you should reduce your expectations of winning the game and focus on your budget. When you are up to the limit, whether you gain or lose, just leave immediately. Like me, when I am gambling, if I have gotten a little or a bit of the money I put in the game, I am definitely leaving and not continuing. I don’t emphasise getting twice or thrice of what I put in the game, which means the little I got is enough since it is not my money. I just played and won, which has helped me a long way not to get addicted to gambling.

"Don't play with fire if you don't want to get burned" Likewise with gambling "don't gamble if you don't want to suffer losses". Because gambling is not the easiest activity to make money by betting, but rather the easiest activity to lose the money we have and replace it with fun. So it is natural that gambling is considered a form of entertainment that is played for fun, played fairly and wagered with an amount of money that we are ready to lose. And if not, or in other words you are gambling to make a profit, then you will experience at least two losses, namely the first loss is that you will not get any pleasure from the gambling you are doing, and the second you will experience financial losses, because in reality gambling not a place to make a profit. . So in the end all you get is a deep feeling of disappointment and regret, which can make you even more stressed and make you feel depressed. Because what you get is not the same as what you imagined before. And it doesn't stop there, if a gambling activity is not managed well and appropriately, then this activity will not only cause financial losses but also other negative impacts that can affect your life balance and mental health.

I was almost going all out on this notion of gambling for fun and not a way to make money...but after reading the OP, I get what message is being converged here... gambling for fun isn't the literal meaning as this is more of an idiom to protect gamblers from not taking it hard on themselves....you know how some people get to hurt themselves after losing money because of gambling such that can it can get so bad and lead to depression or in some instances suicide...and this is where the  whole "Gambling for fun and not a way of making money" comes into play for users not to take things to heart, treat it as a material things that you can have or lose tomorrow ... otherwise don't get worked out by the literal meaning gambling is indeed about having fun ;)

The most depressing thing for most of us is, how we handle our gambling results even though we tend to gamble for fun, how do we feel when we record the losses also, because that is also very important.
Why I mentioned that is that, sometimes even though we want to gamble for the fun of it, but when we lose we intend to be sad about it most especially when the loss amount is on the high side, so we must separate our emotions from fun because it should be fun at all time regardless if we win or lose, but in reality we are far from that and we should go back to the origin of what we take gambling for and also set the gap between fun and profits making.

However, every gambler should just decide for himself or herself how they want to handle gambling. Gambling is what it is; no matter whether a gambler handles gambling as fun or a means of earning money, the fact remains that they will definitely experience unpredictable losses and wins, and definitely the losses are always greater than the wins. 

I don't support the idea that gambling is a cool (sustainable) means of earning money. I can't deny the fact that sometimes I gambled with the intention of multiplying my money, but that doesn't make me forget that gambling is not really the right way to rely on as a source of income because it will cause the gambler more harm, such as becoming addicted and ending up losing all their money. 

Every gambler who gambles for fun could also have it in mind to win in their games because there is no one who prays to lose. Everyone always stays positive and hopes for winning despite having fun, but that doesn't mean that their primary reason for gambling is to generate more income for themselves. 

I some how agree with you OP that gambling is for fun in the contest which you described it but I also agree with the quoter that its not for fun partially, on a critical thinking mode you both are correct.

Firstly I would love to digest what this concept of gambling for fun mean, in the case at which you Oshosondy explained we are not expecting to go in to gambling with the idea of wanting to make a living out of it but one could also have the intention to with a stash maybe for to facilitate his life style. but yeah what the quoter said is true too I have been asking myself lately, why I have to spend a bucks to play but at I really if I wish to experience some kind of feeling I must pay for it, maybe in paying for the service with they offer me not really the gamble the side benefit is that I could be luck enough one day and my payment will be returned as bonus in form of win.

This is a good way to explain it but also gambling for fun means really having fun while gambling and not doing it only as you want to make money. You can gamble for money at time and also gamble for fun other times. It doesn't mean that everytime that you're gambling that it has to be for fun or to make money. There are times when I need a feel good feeling which comes from dopamine that we get when gambling so I gamble and have a feel good time without thinking about losses.

Gambling for fun will not make you addicted and this is why gambling for fun is better than gambling to try to make money. If you're looking for money, there are better ways to get them and you can get the money without depending on your luck. Money needs working therefore if you get a job either a part time or a full time job, you can get salary and be living comfortably without depending on gambling for money.

I agree, gambling should be seen as a form of entertainment, and not a way to make money. It's important to set a budget or small amount for gamling, for example, you are going night out with friends, then you set aside $50, treating it like any other entertainment expense for the night like buying drinks or tickets. Treating gambling as other recreational activity, you can avoid financial stress and enjoyed with everyone.

Op has made some good point on his explanation about gambling for fun. It's not a big thing to understand. The trouble with people is that they forget easily about the importance of gambling for fun. Like Op stated the whole process of gambling is closely related to how we spend money on other utilities. The same thing applies to giveaway, paying for football matches, going to the mall or park etc. Such activities take up our money, and we don't regret paying for the fun we've earned there. Gambling isn't an exemption; the difference is the money casino promises to players. More like if a restaurant pays people for eating, lots of humans would overfeed there, just for the money reward. That's what is going on in casino. People are meant to enjoy the moment there, but due to the money it's quite hard for the players to focus and stick to the exact time for them to leave the vicinity. Which causes harm to the emotions of the gambler, and his loss of money.

Of course, if the beginning is fun, if the result goes against it, then the end is not fun at all. Gambling is to earn money and win is our main objective and winning will make us feel better and enjoy gambling as much as we have no doubt. We learn to value time enough and value money so much that we don't waste time unnecessarily and risk money unnecessarily. Behind gambling we bet money as well as spend time just to earn profit by gambling. Earning profit by gambling is our only objective. For those who tell you that they gamble only for fun, you can ask them how much fun they still get from gambling when they lose.

Yes gambling is fun but there is a possibility to earn money or get rich fast that's why people are interested in gambling besides having fun then what is the harm if you win something big by luck. But no matter how easy we think gambling is, gambling is not that simple.  For this the gambler must have fun as his main objective. otherwise gambling will have a great effect on him and he will be bound to become addicted to gambling. So there is no discount in gambling always be careful and gamble with always a fixed budget.

The money is just a bonus, it's not the main achievement for people to gamble.

In land based casino, people like to gamble because they can meet other people, build a network and having fun together, so they treat the money they spent are for investment. I say it's investment because there's a chance the other gambler might hire you or working together with you.

While in online casino, it's more for fun, build a network is really hard and most of them aren't interested too.

Gambling for fun is just like gambling without expecting anything in return and this is not the mindset of a core gambler, a hard gambler believes in returns in a every gambling move he makes and the major aim for gambling is profit, most times I don't regard gamblers as fan of any club and I have a reason for that, most gamblers don't care if their favourite teams exist most time they even bet against their teams or avoid the team totally because of their money mindset, I assume that someone who gambles for fun is not a real gambler and such person stake will not be much because I believe that someone cannot use a large sum of money to gamble and still regard it as fun.

Surprised here. Any source? Or just your thoughts? How can you say that's the real score?

Do you mean those people you are referring to is doing gambling just to meet other people? Have fund together? Build a network?

This is the first time I heard those as a reason why people gamble for fun and money is just a bonus. :)

We all have one plan with gambling, to make money, the hardship to get lucky in gambling is why people turn to getting fun out of gambling while risking some money that they can afford to lose, they have seen that it's almost impossible to make big money from gambling just because you feel like it.

Those who are screaming fun have no other choice, this is the only way to stay as a gambler or quit if they like, you don't have to be confused that gambling will get you rich, try it yourself I bet you will have some stories to share, there is no winner in this gambling space that have no bad story to share, it's all about experience.

The weak minded people will possibly rely on gambling at first, little did they know that gambling isn't a way to make money, it's unreliable and deceitful if you give it room, deceitful in terms of how you view what gambling is all about, you can easily lie to yourself, thinking you've finally find a way, to win over your poverty, but you aren't smart to know that millions of people are here before you, why aren't they rich yet?

It's all about the money, but the harder it is to make money from gambling is why many turn to softy with gambling, calling it a space to have some fun, I mean, what's there than to have some fun and risking few dollars? It's not as if we will keep winning, we just need to protect how much we risking.

Actually what I know about this is that gambling as a means of survival is totally wrong to me, because that's the beginning step a man takes, that leads to addiction, it's actually true that if you remove the monetary aspect of gambling, like you wouldn't make a dime from it if you get it right, will definitely stop people from gambling because at the end of the day, we just have to tell ourselves the truth, that it's all about the money.

So the issue here is that most people including gambling addict sees it as a means of income which is wrong, as a sane individual, you should only gambles with what you can afford to lose, so that after trying your luck by gambling, if it doesn't goes your way, it wouldn't get to you psychologically. So that's the essence of gambling with what you can afford to lose.

Imho it depends from a situation and from luck. Gambling can be a way to make money. I can compare gambling to going to cinema to watch a movie. Cinemas are not only a kind of entertainment, but while watching a movie a person might learn something. Same is with gambling, it is not only for entertainment, but you can also learn from it, in some cases even earn from it. It depends from what you search in it. Right now I can go to casino, make a bet with a high probability of a win, lets say 1.02 for example. If I walk out with more money than I had, cant it be called making money then?

Gambling can be made into a fun place if basically you come with the right and recommended understanding and approach, and if not or what you mean is that you gamble with the intention of earning then honestly I can't guarantee, because fun or entertainment will turn into tension as well. with some pressure due to the results at the end of the session which will not always be what you want, or what this means is that it is very possible that you want to win but what happens is that you lose and clearly that is a situation that disappoints or even makes you frustrated. So the idea of gambling with the aim of changing fate to become rich instantly is a ridiculous and too careless statement. However, gambling is more recommended to be used as a place to have fun by enjoying some of the sensations that you get, and one of the reasons why gambling should not be used as a place of income is because there is absolutely no certainty that can guarantee that you will actually get it. always produces results and what happens is the opposite, where you end up suffering a lot of defeat, therefore, as you suggest, we must always apply caution and vigilance along with maintaining awareness.

The ideal would be to see the game in that way just for fun, and for the money to come if it has to come, that's the ideal thing, only because there are people, or there are people who when we are in the game sometimes we don't worry about these things , because of the emotions and we can say that sometimes the emotions cannot be controlled and you can lose money there and if you lose money it is not healthy, things have to have a balance, you cannot think that things are just losing the I give it and that's it, because if we lose it to recover it is the most difficult thing, you have to do a lot of things, I see the game as a very delicate activity, many times I have said that the best thing is to control our money before losing, and that means To say that the money is little, because very few people are short of money, I am talking about about 10-20usd which is not much, so depending on the capacity of each person, well that amount varies.

Some think that controlling emotions means controlling everything, and that is not the case, emotions are the most difficult thing for humans to control and it is something that I do not recommend doing, therefore it is easier if we control the money we have. dedicated to the game because there it does enter the level of fun, the emotions that are reflected do not matter, but as long as the money is repeated willing to play and lose, if you lose what you should do is withdraw, not insist with more money or anything, because what will it do is lose, if that is fulfilled there if the expectations of fun are fulfilled and also opens the expectations of being able to win some money if you are lucky, I see it like this, what happens is that Each person has their own way of seeing the game and seeing how they can make their strategy, but it is preferable to control money as it is easier than controlling emotions.

If every gambler thought like this then I'm sure they would be more responsible for playing several bets every week and we are used to spending small amounts of money without thinking about returns. But the problem is that gamblers don't think like that because they think they will benefit from winning and even though they consciously know that gambling is always closest to luck. Just a few views and not trying to blame or say gambling just has to be done responsibly, but I take more pleasure in seeing gambling activities.

I prefer this kind of gambling and spend a little money for fun, not to chase winnings every time I want to gamble. So that whatever happens psychologically we are not too disturbed and if people can make a portion like this in gambling then I am sure they will be much more responsible in the gambling they play.

Nice write up bro, but why should you risk a lot in what does not have a definite ROI, gambling isn't an investment and should not be seen as one, the misconception of the rational intent of gaming is what lures people into addiction.
Money must be made by man, but not through gambling, some days luck might smile on you, but its more thrilling when you don't expect anything from it.

Gamblers should learn to honest with themselves, if you observe that you attach much emotions in it, and it makes you spend more, you simply quit as its not for you. You can do other things for fun, perhaps things you've more control over. Different things work for different people, and if gambling is destroying you, I think its right to save yourself first.

Not only just this one because if gamblers or bettors used to be that responsible then we wont really be seeing too much platforms or businesses that would be seen as of today or simply this gambling industry wont really be that much big as of this day and this is something that we can be able to distinguish about their main difference as of this moment. Gambling should really be just that for fun and not for making money because these are businesses on which it is really that built for giving out leisure at the same time they are really that indeed making money due to gamblers greed and impulsive emotions on which it causes out for people to have that
mistakes which it is really that something that fueling them up with revenue. Yes, they arent intentional but rather they are really that having that advantageous approach when it comes to this because they are really that
trying out to take advantage without us seeing it.

One of the reasons why many irresponsible gamblers treat their gambling activities is because there is a chance of winning in gambling that is difficult for most people to ignore, and their actions have indirectly made some casinos decide to expand their business or build many branches to get bigger profits than irresponsible gamblers. It is very difficult to really convince most people that gambling is not a place to earn because someone will be able to justify any means just to be able to get money especially if they are in an urgent situation.

Yes enough I agree with you that one of the reasons why gambling is more recommended to be an entertainment activity, it is because behind the scenes it is a fact that this is big business for casinos, casinos hide behind "opportunities" to trick gamblers with the aim of making a profit, most gamblers are too sure of winning which ultimately makes them overreact. Logically there is no way you can make money in a place that basically only provides odds, because it is nothing more than a "possibility", meaning you will only be able to win when you are lucky.

Gambling games should be seen as fun, that's the basics, but it turns out that no one is happy about losing money and time, even when they are games that people are playing and don't involve money, people still tend to take them very seriously. and they don't want to lose at all. and when the game involves money then people take it much more seriously and even tend to fight against each other. This can be seen in street football games where during the game, players start to fight and as a result other players get injured and friendships end. In certain cases when people are playing on the computer they tend to throw the mouse and keyboards because they are losing

Anger is something that blinds people when they are playing because no one likes to lose. If we ask 1 million people if they play for money or just for fun, most people will answer that they play for fun because they feel ashamed, because like every society they keep saying that gambling should be seen just as fun, so the people are afraid to be honest and admit that they play for money, 99% of people play for money. I personally play for fun and for money, this is because I play with 2$ to 5$ on each bet, this is a value of money that even when I win I cannot withdraw it to my bank account because the value is very low, so I withdraw from the casino to my wallet but when I see that I have lost all my bankroll I deposit it again at the casino

assumptions about gambling are still pros and cons all this time and everyone has different assumptions when it comes to gambling and if OP and @Fivestar4everMVP say different opinions, I actually have an even more different opinion, namely that gambling is just for fun in your free time to try luck with the amount we can afford to lose.
and that means it's not just about having fun in gambling, of course we still want the money or budget that we have not to run out quickly and always get several wins so that the budget can be used for gambling in a few days and I'm not a hypocrite because big wins are the hope of all gamblers but for me hoping to get a big win is just luck, so try to get that luck by having fun.

well, having fun is just an assumption to protect our mental and thoughts from being too excessive, remaining consistent with the betting amount that has been previously set so that when we bet, we can enjoy every session we do without having to feel highly emotional.
because for me when I start gambling with the assumption that I want to make money, a gambler will definitely get emotional and anxious, afraid of losing money more than a gambler who assumes he will have fun gambling because a gambler who can enjoy every round will never feel anxious when he loses money. because it has determined the limits that have been planned beforehand.

and actually the opinions of OP and @Fivestar4everMVP are both correct, it's just that their respective assumptions are different.

Well, that's not my case, because playing poker is a side hustle for me, and the fun part is less and less as the years go by. It is entertaining, but it has become a routine for me. It also has to do, I guess, that I have been playing at the same level for a long time and I don't go for new challenges such as trying to climb levels or try new modalities.

In general, for the casino player, betting should be for fun and with money that he can absolutely afford to lose, but it is precisely the possibility of winning money that makes it fun.

Well, the idea of gambling should be that way how you describe gambling is. However, as people learned that gambling may give you a little more of a reward for the money you spent with gambling, and so people starts to go beyond on what's supposed to be budgeted for gambling for "fun".
Now, this is where the fun will get replaced as second to making money and this is where addiction begins as well if one is not being careful on how we deal with our gambling urges and needs.
We can't deny that most of us is either gamble to have fun and make money or make money as first priority while having fun.

well to be fair there are professional gamblers that make money off it but as their profession mentioned already they are professional they know the ins and outs of gambling game that they are committed to and also know how to manage emotions and money. they know when to stop and when to game, but fair number of them also either went bankrupt or become millionaire its a game of odds after all, the chance of failing is always there as well as the chance of success, speaking philosophically, what are there activities that tries to gain more money that don't involve risk of losing money I think there are none.
its just with gambling its kinda fast paced outcome instead of business where usually we need 2 years to see whether the business is viable enough and have market for it.
if someone is noob, never think of making money, its game of odd.

You know that sometimes, even if a gambler's intention is just for fun, they still can't help but win well when they are also struck by luck in the casino where they choose to gamble. So, it means that when luck hits them, they can still take home a winning prize, even if it is not that big of a win.

It is better because you are not expected in such situations, as long as you are just enjoying yourself, but you can still get a jackpot if you are lucky enough to gamble one day.

It has beed discussed a numerous times that even gambling is made for fun or the intention  of a gambler at first is for fun, eventually they will change as you will not undergo change if they end up losing more money than winning in gambling games, and because losing is the common nature of a gamble then expecr that at some point gamblers will lose it and abondo the fun part and start to play gamble for the sake of money, lets face it no matter what fun we will think about gambling in the end of the day many gamblers are being too addicted with gambling that they will start to stop having fun  unstead recover the money they have loss or some hoping for a big win that could change their lives. I personally undergo changes when it comes to gambling; I develop anger management and am also too reckless when it comes to money handling.

If a gambler continues to pursue gambling after being told clearly, it is certainly dangerous for him. It is true, however, that if one gambles in pursuit of money, it will never bring good results, rather he will only lose and never win. Most new gamblers are very inexperienced when it comes to betting, which is why they always end up gambling to make money. But knowing it can destroy a user and player even if they don't know about it, they are not careful about it and at one time lose their money and get mentally broken. But it is best to use small amount of money for peace of mind while gambling, if luck is good in future then eventually you can win more money from small amount of money.

Yes, you have completed my idea and statement above that it is best to treat gambling as a place for entertainment only, because it is too dangerous and in the end you will only lose a lot of money when gambling with the aim and hope of earning, it will never end because you will only rotate in the cycle of "chasing victory to restore something that was lost before" and however it is a very difficult idea to realize, which in the end you will lose even more. This is why we are always advised to gamble without any expectation of winning as well as being a responsible gambler by only putting in small amounts that we can afford to lose.

Well that's right, I agree with you that emotions are a difficult thing to control, not everyone can do it and most of them usually end up acting more aggressively because they are unable to ignore the emotions in themselves when a losing situation occurs, and obviously the point and the key is if you don't want to end up with emotions because of losing then obviously the allocation of money on gambling must be correct, The point is that we must be able to see from various sides, especially about the possible risks involved in gambling which in fact cannot always be avoided, and by understanding this then obviously you will definitely prefer to apply many precautions such as reducing the amount of budget along with limiting the time of involvement. The fact is that anyone can win but it is only an uncertain chance in the sense that it is unlikely to always happen and this is why losing is more common.

Some people don't understand that when a person says that they gamble for fun and not for the gains, it doesn't mean they don't like money or they wouldn't like it if they hit the jackpot or won a lot of money out of luck, but the actual implication of gambling for fun is that a person wouldn't be bothered much if they lose the money they are using for gambling because they have already decided that they won't chase gains and profits with this money but if they manage to get something, that is great.

The fun in gambling is a mixture or wins and losses and the thrill that it carries, gambling for fun doesn't mean that you would just spend your money thinking that you should just lose because that wouldn't be fun. It's fun when you have a good time, and a good time is only when you face thrilling times when you are gambling.

In fact, the meaning of gambling is entertainment but wondering how it changed and became known as a money-maker. This is probably because of these gambling influencers who always say -multiply your money through gambling which changed the mindset of most gamblers, especially beginners. The strategy is quite working so well and many people are encouraged to gamble after seeing some players win the jackpot and become rich instantly. It sticks in their mind and that also gives them a reason why they are gambling already. We even see a lot of poor people gambling hoping to win big time and change their life.

Professional gamblers thrive and develop their craft. A captain guides them across chance's perilous waters, but don't romanticize it. The world of statistical probability is harsh. Every business venture, investment, and decision is risky. The key to financial growth is risk management. Gamblers and businesspeople examine, calculate, and fail. The key difference? Timeframe. Gambling's instant gratification attracts many

However, unskilled people misjudge chances and overestimate their abilities. Fundamentally, knowledge, discipline, and knowing one's limits are key. Any risky undertaking is a plunge into the void with hope as the only parachute without these

Yes and entertainment or fun is something that can distract a person from the idea of gambling to earn, there is no other better point of view than to make or address gambling as nothing more than an activity just to seek entertainment and fun when you have free time and when you want to engage in gambling. The concern is for those beginners who have just come and are new to gambling, because the first win is very likely to make them put their faith and hope in winning and it can make them act further in gambling, and not only that because the influencer or stremer is also a fact that can greatly influence a person in gambling.

They broadcast something that looks very tempting along with some education that can make people interested and increasingly convinced that gambling can solve financial problems, they brainwash people through tantalizing impressions, getting a big win is very easy for influencers or stremers because obviously they are agents who work with casinos to promote casino sites and they get paid according to the agreement, the point is that casinos facilitate or organize gambling by influencers when they are streming in order to get a big win with the aim that many people are interested and enter and gamble on the casino sites that are promoted. On the other hand, what is worrying is when this is experienced by poor people who come with the aim of changing their fate, but in the end the reality of losing slaps them when it turns out that the results are far from what is expected.

The one who makes money remains the casino owner, while the gamblers will only win occasionally and lose more often. Now there are many platforms that provide gambling sites making it easier for people to gamble, so this is also a difficult factor for people to be responsible for the gambling they play. Having fun and making money at gambling is not a problem as long as they do not place gambling as their main income stream.

The problem is when people think about earning steady money from gambling and they have no other job. So they are unable to control cash flow and are unable to handle expenses or income as a permanent daily need, this kind of gambling is a problem because they are not able to be responsible.

People misunderstood the meaning according to you guys but on my own understanding it indicate that whoever that says that the Gamble based on phone that is literally mean that the gamble in order to catch Cruise not to gain anything for advantages but the normal circumstance everyone who is into gambling or who engage itself into gambling that means that that person really want money is not that is gambling because of Cruise that is what I want to let people to understand there is different between entertainment and the gambling you can gamble because of the entertainment or you can gamble due to entertainment but it aspect of winning money everybody is curious everybody is desperate and everybody is anxious to ensure that it gambling prediction goes according to his will.

Absolutely. It’s not fun anymore if you are losing your funds, so gamble to make some profits and when you have it, certainly fun follows. But that’s good only for professional gamblers as they can increase their chances of winning and reduce the risk to lose. However, for beginner gamblers, gamble just for fun so you can limit your losses and when you have gained various experiences in gambling, that’s the time to look for profits. Its never bad to gamble for profits as long as you set your limits in gambling, otherwise you will go home with an empty wallet.

I believe this idea gamble for fun is only good if you are not a frequent gambler. But if you are a regular gambler and you have been losing more than winning, I’m sure gambling for fun won’t work anymore as you are now gambling to recover your losses and attract more winnings.

maybe because many people have proven that it is possible to make a lot of money gambling, especially if you know how to use the money you win properly. it is really just for the entertainment of other people because it was made as a game but because money has come with it and money is needed to be able to play here, that's when gamblers realized that it can be made into one of our sources of income.

Gambling's all good for some fun, but let's not sugarcoat it. The "just play for fun" motto is cool, but gotta be real – the odds are stacked against you like a deck of cards with all the aces missing. Casinos ain't charities, they're in the business of making money, so don't expect to win big every time.

Sure, thinking "just for fun" can help keep things chill, but don't let it cloud your judgment. Set limits, stick to 'em like glue, and only bring what you can afford to lose. Remember, chasing losses is like trying to catch smoke – you'll just end up frustrated and empty-handed.

And let's be honest, an hour can feel like a lifetime when you're winning, but when the tide turns, it's gone faster than a magician's rabbit. Manage your time wisely, don't get sucked in, and know when to call it quits.

Gambling influencers has grown more than ever before. They share information about different types of bets and new games that can be attractive to new gamblers. If the new gamblers are gambling for fun, but the effect of gambling influencer, those gamblers will change their gambling intentions. A gambler cannot say that he gambling only for fun. When a gambler has no desire to gain more from gambling. They may use gambling for fun as they try to spend as much money as they can afford to lose. The greed for money works in everyone but thus newbies tend to be more prone to this.

Gambling is mostly probability and so it's not a good idea to be bent on gambling or trusting in gambling because you may most likely end up disappointed by the time the results is out and it's not what you expected it will be, new gamblers are the once who always want to make gambling a source of income a d they end up messing things up most times because some of them actually gets greedy and before you know it they begin to loose more money trying to gain or recover that which has been lost but then it's actually true that you can still win some good amount from gambling even as a first timer with or without any good strategy so it's mostly a thing of luck most of the times and not about how well skilled you are .

Some times its not necessarily the fact that the gambler is experienced or not, neither is it by staking power or all other factors, it might just be absolute luck playing out on them and so Gambling isn't and shouldn't be considered dependable at all.

Considering gambling as an opportunity to earn money is tantamount to arousing greed. When gambling is managed after considering gambling as part of entertainment, there is scope for responsible gambling management. Money can also be earned from gambling but considering it as a regular source of income is completely pointless. Since there is an uncertain outcome between winning and losing a gambler can either lose money or win. A gambler is fit for gambling as long as he keeps gambling under his own control. Excessive greed will lead a person in the wrong direction rather than gambling. Gambling should be prioritized rather than envisioned as a source of income.

Whenever I visit an online casino website  and want to gamble despite knowing what is involved, i still  experience that the emotions that makes us human. I think this emotion increases based on the type of game or type of money that is staked.

Those who are gamble full time gets it. While it is not advisable it is working for some others.

Those are the wrong moves from naive gamblers which puts them into a big trouble in gambling. The game doesn't guarantee wealth for anybody but can do it at a very unexpected time. The jackpot makes millions of people to gambling without remorse. All they chase is the funds, and careless about other importance of gambling, what to learn in the process. Playing for fun is fine over funds. We also get fun through funds, even on concerts. In gambling the fun can as well get us funds. Seeing gambling as a fun place to yield some funds periodically can help us to maintain the habit of enjoying the game.

Going for the funds as a primary motive is wrong and won't get meaningful at the end of the session. If it's for fun, gambling can be simple, because the gambler has nothing to bother, he stops the moment his designated duration exhausts. Making money is not simple, yes, hence the process will definitely be hard for those who take gambling as a side hustle and a place to earn quick money. As they get disappointed at the end.  

There are surely the inherent uncertainty and unpredictability of gambling those emphasize it's primarily a game of probability rather than skill or strategy. Indeed, the outcome of any gambling endeavor is often influenced by chance more than anything else. Newcomers to gambling, driven by the hope of turning it into a lucrative source of income, may find themselves disappointed or even in financial trouble due to unrealistic expectations and potential greed. The allure of quick riches can cloud judgment and lead to reckless decision-making, resulting in significant losses.

Luck can occasionally favor even the most inexperienced gambler, leading to unexpected wins. This element of chance adds to the allure of gambling but also underscores its inherent unpredictability. While some may argue that certain strategies or skills can improve one's chances of winning, ultimately, the outcome is often beyond anyone's control. Relying on gambling as a dependable source of income is ill-advised and can lead to disappointment and financial hardship.

Individual perspectives and financial situations indeed play a significant role in shaping one's approach to gambling. Not everyone sees gambling the same way. While some wealthy individuals view it as a form of entertainment regardless of the outcome, it's crucial to remember that gambling is ultimately a game of chance, and the odds are always in favor of the house. It's important for everyone, regardless of financial situation, to gamble responsibly by setting limits, playing within them, and being aware of the potential risks involved. For those who can afford it and see it as a form of entertainment, the losses are just part of the game.

Yeah, each has their own decisions or preferences and we can't do much about it if some wants to play for the profit because number one, many of them are far away from our reach, and number two, we don't know them, and last but not the least is, it was their money, not ours. Money is involved in a real gambling but there is also fake gambling which we can play for free.

Only those who expect to win at all times are the gambler who plays for the profit, and I'm sure both of them already knows that there are two outcomes in gambling and most of the time the result that we can get is a loss. Anyway, is the balance you mean, we are playing gambling for both fun and profit? If it is, then I also like this better and in fact, this is my current playstyle :).

That's right, basically we can't force anyone to follow some ideas or suggestions which even though they basically lead to their own good, sometimes it's very possible for us to care too  much about people who basically don't want to be noticed, right? problem and you've mentioned some pretty reasonable reasons as to why we shouldn't force them too hard to follow something we suggest. Everyone has choices, preferences and freedom in any matter.

Yes, we can find out what a gambler's real goal is from how often they gamble, not only that because we can also find out by looking at how they respond or react when they lose. If they are dominated by emotions due to losing then I think we have can conclude that they gamble with amounts they cannot afford and one of the reasons why they carry large amounts is because they are too focused on the goal of getting a big win, while on the other hand you have also said that the results of gambling are always about two things, namely between winning and losing. The problem is that no one will ever know whether they will win or lose again at the end of the session because there is no certainty that can guarantee them in terms of results. So what is recommended is to treat gambling as a place to fill free time by getting pleasure from the sensations we get, but if it turns out that at the end of  the session you win then it is a good decision to prefer to cash out, this is a healthy approach.

Personally, I don’t really believe that people can gamble just for fun. Money is at the forefront of everything. Even people who think that they will start doing this for pleasure very soon acquire either an addiction or a passion that no longer has anything to do with getting pleasure, even when the person earns money, because he thinks that he could bet a larger amount and earn more, although in fact he could not .
I agree with you that you should only use money that has no meaning for you, but I do not agree that even if playing responsibly can be good, at any moment responsibility can change to irresponsibility

I doubt if the meaning of gambling is entertainment as you said! Just to be clear, here is the meaning to gambling:

Source: https://www.britannica.com/topic/gambling

That's said.

Gambling has never been generalized as entertainment, the streets sees and do it as a way to make more fortune when you risk a fortune or something worthy. However, because betting platforms want to make it socially and inviting for people without looking at it as "gambling", they put it as reward for passion or place for fun but deep down, it's more than that, money are made from gambling and money are lost in gambling, no 2 ways about it.

Gambling is a business transaction, you deposit and try your luck and you win and you get paid or you risk again and lose and they take it from you. If you are good and has a bright head, you can make something and if you are  not, you make nothing, fun or no fun these must happen.

Some people can control their behavior when it comes to gambling and others cannot, it's that simple. If you are the kind of person who gets paid and the first thing you want to do is spend it all on gambling, you have a severe problem - but one that can be solved if you really put your mind to it and accept that all money spent on this pursuit up to that point is long gone. Alternatively, you can have a grip on your finances and an appreciate for gambling without glorifying it or expecting to strike it rich. If you are spending 1% of your income on a night out with friends, then it can be a fun part of socializing and you absolutely should expect to lose it all the moment your bets are placed.

What is most Recommended is that something can be done with the budget, it is our only way to be able to protect our financial Security , because in the casino we have to decide and learn to do it quickly, because the money can go very Quickly and it is not possible to do things well if they are not established Properly, then Given these things we are People who are always going to guarantee things as they are, I could say that when it comes to doing something positive for our improvement because there are What to do, in a casino if there is no control of the money, which is more important for me, then there is nothing, that is something that cannot be fought against the current, it is something that I cannot throw Myself into just like that.

In this case, betting on money and fun is What it is recommended to do, not everyone in the world does everything equally, they want to earn money and do a lot, just guarantee the risk of Things , but this in the good Sense, yes We are people Who all the time are Going to see the Casino as Income, because it is the worst way to see things.

I am a person who has many strategies in the games, many things to do in order to try to win and yes, these strategies are what sometimes work for us, the most veterans say that there are no strategies, that it does not work, and They have their point of view, their experience and they determine that, but I know what I have achieved with the casino, with some games, because I do apply techniques, strategies because I feel that they work for me, in fact, whenever I can, I read, whenever I can. I try to watch videos where players put their strategies in games and win, or lose but apply them, that's something that not everyone does, so the more strategies you know as a player, I think it's very good, but it's a cliché. something is not true, but people still believe in it and it is not so bad because winning money by trusting in the casino is the worst part of all decisions.

There is a major difference between individuals who gamble for amusement and those who gamble in the hopes of becoming wealthy. The latter group is most likely to develop gambling issues. The subject of regulation is complex, since some say that regulations can keep people from developing gambling issues, while others argue that regulation is a kind of government control that violates people's freedom.

Playing gambling for fun is what we have to do because we need to avoid the desire to win the gambling game. We will be difficult to win because gambling is not designed to give winning for us but for the casino. But some people can win some gambling games.
We have to remember that the casino will be the winner, so when playing gambling, we have to limit ourselves to gambling. If not, we will only experience many losses and can't recover from those losses.
We have to avoid gambling addiction because many gamblers already become addicted without realizing it. And we must remember only to use the money we can afford to gamble.

Any gambler who does not understand that gambling should be a means of entertainment, will not be easy to his losses. This is because he will never stop chasing his losses, hoping that will win the next game, before you know it he will become addicted to gambling.

It is good when you are addicted, and you know that you are an addict, so that you can work on your addiction, but when you don't know that you are an addict, you will not be able to limit the rate at which you gamble, and you will not quite gambling until it has done great harm to you. Gambling is a try your luck thing and not a thing that we should put all our hope on.

if gambling is entertainment. Why do gambling advertisements actually trap potential players with the phrase double your money, or something similar that leads to more winnings?
and many are trapped by this. and consider gambling to be a place to make quick profits.

However I will always believe and will only treat gambling as entertainment and maybe I will also suggest this to many of my friends who are also fellow gamblers, on the other hand I will answer your question which is quite simple, gambling is for entertainment but why do gambling advertisements say that this is a place to multiply? You must understand what is meant by "advertising" or "promotion" where their goal is to lure many players to play at their casino sites, and about multiplying money actually it is nothing more than a phrase to make people "tempted".

Only careless or even stupid people who don't look at things from different sides with a rational point of view will just get stuck with the phrase "double up", because you should put a big question mark in your mind about what exactly is behind gambling besides the chance of multiplying, and if you are able to think rationally then I am sure you will know the real facts. You're bound to come across such promotions in other things as well and it's not just in gambling, we have to understand that promotions are usually more often related to "manipulation".

 I don't think gambling is for fun in any day but gambling is to make money but in the process of gambling you can have the fun because of the way the game might came and the interest of the game and the participation with others in the game that might lead to the fun perspective. If someone is going to play game, then the person will have fun but if the person is going to play gamble then fun is eradicated. And if some gamble and loss the game then there will be no fun with the loss. And a responsible Gambler must know his limit in the gambling industry and foe those who are not careful with their gambling always gamble all and go home with crying or empty hands. Gamble what you can afford to lose and not to cry.

Well you won't and can't blame anyone for thinking such and that's because the emphasis of the said point can be really confusing especially if the person is a newbie because I believe whether we like it or not the mass public actually believe that gambling is actually a way to earn some cash be it planned or by luck or a better explanation and expatiation on the idea would really go a long way.

I can assure that anything has to be that you are putting money and expecting to gain in any way is not a fun in my own perception indeed it is not. Because it takes your sweat to make the money and energy to stake it in order to win so do you know the meaning of this actual word "stake"on it something it actually means "the risk of harming or losing something very important if an action or decision  doesn't go your way or have the results you expect or want.." so you are telling is actually a fun no I totally disagree on that...

Gambling can be worst if you didn't have the strong will to control yourself in how to stake and when you are cautious about your stakes thanks

Fun alone is like a escape from reality, it's like gamblers who don't want to keep gambling but only have to lie to themselves that they are getting fun from gambling, the little times that I get fun from gambling is when I have nothing else to do than to challenge myself or my lucky star, just to see if luck is really on my side of such day.

How many casino games are truly entertaining? They are not many at all, I gamble to make money too, like I will be ashamed of saying it? Never, I gamble to make money but in a safer way that won't left me with regrets, we are all here to make money, but over expectations is what's killing many people.  

Gambling isn't reliable, because it never was, it's all about how lucky anyone can get, and obviously it's not something that will happen every blessed day, you will lose, you could lose a lot, but if all you are throwing at the sharks are some left over fish bones with small fish on them, what do you have to lose?

On a general opinion, you're both right and e can however concluded that when we are gambling, we are making a form of any entertainment whether we are that interested in making money from it or not, but the chances is either we win or loose while gambling, so it's very simple to me if you ask me, i will tell that you're paying for the entertainment received from a gambling casino each time you're gambling and this applies to the same way you can pay for any form of an entertainment without the expectation of getting your money back, whlle gambling gives more opportunity that we can earn from it while doing same.

But many gamblers are taking it as a place of investment and, many gamblers have lost millions of dollars in gambling hoping that, it's the amount of money you put in gambling that will determine your win and, it has lead many to be addicted because gambling is made for fun which is the reason some gamblers are still in the gambling today without be addicted to gambling.

 I like gambling as fun and, any day I will not gamble it will make me feel as if something is missing in my dressing until I gamble before my real mood will come to normal and my daily budget for gambling is $5 and there is nothing that will make me gamble above that amount whether winning or loosing which is my principle in gambling.

There are gamblers who gamble for fun, they don't really care about the profit or loss it is their way to enjoy their time.
I think it is their way to have excitement or thrill while playing, we should know that playing without a risk to past time are boring, and we wouldn't take the game seriously if there is no risk.

I don't disagree that they are some gamblers like that but I still think that a large portion of Persons in the world that gamble are actually focused on some incentives attached to the fun way of gambling and that's why I believe the particular folks that gamble and lose crazy and still take it to be means of enjoyment for them are the filthy rich guys and one perfect example is the famous rap artist DRAKE, he renowned for his wild stakes on soccer and other different sports but you may ask why do all this when obviously you have the funds but the answers would be for fun I guess.

It is hard to change people's mind if it's about gambling. Those that have been believing that it's a way to make money but they don't gamble at all, it's like you're arguing to a kid over a cotton candy and that kid won't allow you to win the argument. And you as the person against that kid, you won't also allow that kid to dictate what you wanna do. With this, it's better to understand the point of everyone on why they think they're right and the belief that they're set on. While us, we know the hard reality about this and we have to understand every person that's dealing with this kind of thing.

If someone wants to have fun, for sure that it's not just all about having fun but also making him/her some money as they gamble. Nobody wants to go home with nothing as they gamble and that's how our minds are being tricked when we're losing. We think that we can go over for more games and survive another set of disasters of losing. But in the end, the chance of losing is higher than ever so regardless of everyone's reason, as long as you're not giving hassle to somebody, you're not taking loans to gamble, you're not selling stuff and not doing anything stupid just for you to gamble, I think that's the most important thing to remember here.

      That's how I feel sometimes when I gamble in the casino. There are also times when I would be lucky enough to win, but usually I'm just passing the time, and I only have an amount of money set aside for gambling and I don't exceed my gambling amount.

     That's just the cycle I do when I play crypto gambling. And maybe other gamblers are also like me maybe in this style.

Fivestar4everMVP's quote is the most interesting one in this thread. I am glad that he said that despite the fact that he promotes a casino, it's good that he is 100% fair with us. I don't know statistics well but to my mind, gambling should be a better way of entertainment for elder generation instead of video games because it's a new thing for them and many people over 40 don't and haven't even played a video games frequently but casino games have been popular all the time because it didn't require any internet or electricity and smart equipment back then. So, for some people, it might be a better way of entertainment than video games.
Well, it's hard to say whether it's some people purely gamble for fun or for profit. I can say that I sometimes gamble for fun but sure, I expect profit, although, it's not my priority because I understand what I am doing and what can be the result, so, I don't wanna ruin my life.

You can actually gamble for fun but that's not without the motivation of winning, how would you feel if what you are doing for fun just involves you spending money all the time without receiving anything back from it sometimes, it would actually be more interesting if it was done for fun and still promises to pay you.

But many people actually view gambling from one perspective of getting money and that's why they find it hard to control themselves from not gambling everyday or too much, and since its viewed as something that gives money they would want to give more into it than usual

True, and what is more appropriate in my opinion is to gamble with the aim of fun by minimizing or not putting too much effort into getting a win, after all gambling is a probability activity that only provides "possibilities", meaning there is no certainty whatsoever to actually be able to materialize according to your wishes, and therefore a healthy approach to gambling is when you make it an activity with the aim and priority for entertainment but when you are lucky and win then it is a decision that does not hurt to cash out.

It is true that I also recognize and see that most people always try to make gambling a place to earn or even to change their financial fortunes or make it a solution to financial problems such as paying off debts, honestly this is a worrying mindset because of course with such a mindset and goals in the end will actually make them experience a much worse situation, such as in terms of debt, instead of being able to pay debts but what happens is that they are even more in debt, and this is what will happen when you have the wrong understanding of gambling.

They will only suffer losses if they do not understand that gambling is entertainment. They will tend to continue playing gambling even without stopping because they will think to keep trying to win their gambling game.
It will only increase the amount of loss to be greater than before because they did not think about limiting their gambling and just wanted to try to win. They should stop restoring their defeat by gambling and thinking about preventing the next defeat.
Before we become a gambling addict, we should immediately limit our gambling activities and also limit the money and time we use to play gambling. It will not be worth it if you are addicted to gambling because it will cause a huge loss for you.

This is such a difficult motto to sometimes accept, for many it has become a cliché to see things this way, we all know that this thing of playing just for fun is just the motto that is used to guarantee that the game is not ma, and in reality it is not bad, when we see and go further back in time, why was the caisno invented? to make them enjoy, unless we have a pleasant time and forget about the tasks we have to accomplish in our daily lives, it is something that we all have of course but we know very well that we must know how to do it, but to understand this, we have to You have to have the necessary maturity to see that the things in a casino will always be favorable for the house, because the house is the one that will never suffer from any type of loss , Unless they have a big Mistake , a bug , or something like that, but it is if and only if this is decrypted.

We also see things in a very different way, it is known that when we play we can generate many ways of seeing the game, as a way to play and earn money and as an activity that we consider fun, this It is always like this, so it is up to us to Realize that the casino is for fun and to have a lot of fun if we win.


We all seek to win in a casino and this is Something that is normal , in fact when I enter the casino to play any game because I seek to win, there is no other way than my simple impulse and the desire to do things well, to have fun and to We continue to do things very well , so When we do any type of activity that is carried out with money, we seek to Earn and have a lot, but we always make the effort to earn.

It is a lie that things are about playing for the sake of playing, because no one is going to play to lose money, everyone is looking to make money and anyone who goes to a casino just because they want to do things Differently and not win , is not well Regarded, and besides, they are not he is believed.

Gambling for funs means you don't care about the results of the game that you're playing, you're only gambling to make you feel entertained. There are some individual that love to risk their money to have fun. When there money is being at risk, they'll get the best motivation to become more competitive and try to win the house. They don't succeed but the effort is also appreciated. You can't win the house when gambling therefore gambling should just be an act of entertainment.

You have to be motivated to win regardless of the reason why you're gambling. It's the good winning results that keeps you gambling as if you failed when you gambled the first time you won't want to gamble more. Also those that are just starting to gamble claim that they're gambling for entertainment but the reason they're gambling is to try to make extra money to look after their needs in life.

This type of player cannot be eliminated. Competitive gaming communities create a sense of belonging, where people who share the same passion for the game come together and encourage each other. Competitive win games offer a fun and competitive experience, encouraging enjoyment and excitement.
For example poker. Poker is a popular social game, where players gather around a table and interact with each other through betting and discussions about playing strategies. Players of different levels can learn from each other by sharing tips and strategies. Poker can be a fun and entertaining game, especially when played with friends.

There are surely psychological aspects of gambling and the risks associated with unchecked behavior. Indeed, understanding that gambling is primarily a form of entertainment is pivotal. When people view it solely as a means to win money or recoup losses, they can easily fall into the trap of chasing losses that leads to escalating financial and emotional turmoil.

Chasing losses behavior can exacerbate losses further that creates a vicious cycle of financial depletion and emotional distress.
Rather than focusing solely on recovering losses, people should shift their mindset towards preventing future losses by adopting responsible gambling practices from the outset. Acknowledging the potential consequences of gambling addiction and taking proactive steps to limit gambling activities can safeguard individuals from significant harm and financial detriment.

Could be one of the few times I would agree with what you say.

The common misconception people have when we talk about "gambling for fun" is them just thinking we're going to be okay and happy with splurging thousands of dollars in one go, which is simply not true. Everyone who loses that amount of money in their own worth's gonna be in shambles, even the most calm and collected clown on the planet. What we talk about when we say we are all for gambling for fun is exactly as you have mentioned Oshosondy, gambling in such a way wherein losses doesn't take a toll on your mental and gambling in such a way wherein you're able to maximize the most experience and fun from your gambling session. People can easily gamble away thousands of dollars when given the chance, but a responsible gambler who gambles for the sake of entertainment will find multitude of ways to squeeze out as much play as possible from that amount of money and still have so much fun that even when they lose that money eventually, they're not going for revenge gambling, and in turn gambling addiction.

That's basically it. It's a simple concept if you'd ask me and unless you go out there preaching as if you're some sort of evangelist you're not gonna get misconstrued for what you're saying, I'm not even sure at this point why this is still a topic when it's goal and reasoning is clearly established from the get-go.

Actually, gambling is just part of fun,but some people see it  the other way round.probably when they play a gamble,all there hope will be in that game hoping for wining.maybe if the outcome was not what they expected they will feel depressed,I think if you can't play for fun it is better you quit from gambling ,because if you know what gamble means you won't be expecting a return.

It is right that we enjoy gambling so that we can appreciate our playing in any casinos in the gambling field. That's why I thought about what you said—that your gambling budget is only $5. Is this the only amount you deposit on a gambling platform?

Or what you do is deposit, for example, 40 dollars, and then you can play every week with a limited amount of only 5 dollars? Is that right? because the minimum deposit in the casino is $10  and up, as far as I know.

That's right, people are so obsessed with choosing only one when the option to choose both has always been at the table, I can't even fathom the fact that people would play those games without the money as a reward, fun is relative too, not everyone considers gambling as fun, some people just don't have it in their bone to believe that gambling is for fun and not just any kind of way to make money, the reality is that gambling is created for us so we can hope that there's such a thing as easy money.

I guess the reason why it's monoperspectivism is a thing is because we grew up with white and black, no in-betweens that melds both colors, we were groomed by the society to think that choices only comes in pairs. Can't really blame those people that gamble too much for the sake of money, they got addicted and they want to get back the money that they've lost.

I think there are varying opinions on what and how gambling is and should be played. I think there are people who see gambling less as an entertainment and more of an option on how to win some more money.
While they see it as an option to win some more money, it doesn’t mean that they’re going to chase their losses so far down, they’ll become addicts. Notably with gambling, you’re more likely to have more losses than wins but that hasn’t stopped people from trying out heir lucks to see if they could win some extra bucks.

I think people are more aware of gambling and how much it could have an effect on their lives when handled irresponsibly. So while trying to win some money in the process, they’re careful not to let irresponsibility in gambling have a grasp on them.
Not everyone plays for entertainment. Some actually do play to get some more money.

Gambling can really be fun sometimes and but not many people are able to realize this because their mind and attention is so focused on the money. But if we can give it a second thought, there is so much fun we can catch gambling on our favorite events. I do remember those times we hangout friends to watch soccer in a bar were we can even place side bets after betting on our favorite teams in the platforms, whatever becomes the outcome, we just laugh over it and move on and it was all fun. We never allowed gambling to separate us or get a better part of us. To us it was all fun. This is the way I think gambling should be.

Don't take the system serious and you will be surprised when the profits starts flowing in, very easy but taking it serious will bring losses. We have different mindsets when it comes to gambler, I'll never doubt any gambler because we keep growing as these days passes by. None of these gamblers remain dormant in one position but for those desperate ones, I've a question for them. Will they be able to gamble and earn steady stream of income from the gambling system? I don't think so because gambling results are unpredictable, the repercussions of losses comes with vital differences.

People are finding it difficult to gamble for fun, most people are gambling just because of the money they will make from gambling, that’s why you can see gambling addiction rising on a daily basis. Most of them do have the believe that they are going to win one day if they keep on gambling, so they are finding it difficult to stop. Just few gamblers are the once gambling just for entertainment and fun aspect.

Newbies are being introduced to gambling by addicted gamblers, so they are being told they can make money from gambling, and after losing huge amount of money and they want to give up, they are being motivated by the addicted gamblers which introduced them to gambling.

Even if all you seek for in gambling is some fun, there will always be that little hope of making money in you, if fun is all you want it won't be from gambling with money, you will get the fun without spending a dime but that can't happen with online casinos.

Let's not lie to ourselves, both responsible and irresponsible gamblers are all hoping to make some money, I tend not to lose a lot of money in the process, this is what makes me different from those who are reckless with gambling.

When I will be next lucky is unknown, and no matter how much I risk on gambling, the next luck won't come faster, why not have patience and use small amount of money on gambling? Because this is so clear that you can't predict when next you will win some money.

I get it - the "big win" thrills you. How often does it deliver on its promises of wealth? Rarely. As you say, patience and minimal stakes work. But why throw your hard-earned cash into this bottomless pit? The thrill tempts me too. I've learnt to spot the trap. You claim uniqueness, not risk. Bravo! But isnt that just "Im trying not to drown while I willingly jump into the ocean" in fancy language?

Why not reverse it? Invest in knowledge, experiences, things. That "next lucky" time is illusion. Chase it and you'll be thirstier than ever. Why not risk on something sure? Growth and delight without financial stress.

Exactly. Gambling would not be the same if there was not that small voice or hope within ourselves about making money out our gambling sessions, otherwise, gambling with fake money would be as popular as gambling with actual money, and we do not see that happening whatsoever, we do not see fake money casinos to thrive and be as popular as actual casinos, so definitely feelings like greed and seeking for profit are key in order for people to continue to wager money.
Though, those feelings can be found in different intensities depending on the person who is gambling and how addicted/used to gambling has become through the years, it is not the same someone expecting to get a handful of dollars from their gambling session than someone seeking to change their life thanks to a very unexpected jackpot. (I believe seeking for a jackpot may be the most destructive habit a gambler could have).
So even though we all can admit we would indeed want to earn some money out of our wagering, the important thing is not to allow ourselves to be deluded by the prospect of money and just enjoy the thrill of gambling.

No need saying that all fun gamblers want is the fun in gambling, it's clear that the money is a part of the fun. The only importance of gambling for fun, is to elevate the emotions of the gambler and refrain him from depression caused by too many losses. This strategy, also, helps the gambler to wager bit by bit, as he's not fully interested in the money. Those who go for the money, most often, are players that don't care about their bank roll. Saving up money while gambling is fun, losing out all our money isn't. Hence, it's better to be careful and retain our happiness. Chasing money, uncontrollably, only requires carelessness and puts the gambler in a mode where he could lose out his savings. Thereby, risking him to addictive gambling. A person who is happy over his gaming results, is way better than a player who regrets or gets sad over losing out money in gambling.

Exactly sine if we don't think about the return then I think there's no exciting prize to target with, that's why aside from having fun on the games played we also need to be more careful on each approach we made on every situation so that we can avoid to get stress and lose money then instead we can be a profitable at that time then always make sure to be prepare on certain situation which determine that we need to quit since we already have enough.

Chasing money will always end up bad for us especially if we aim to much high that hard to reach so its better to know certain realistic targets so that once we hit that we can get out and enjoy the profit we take from those casino. We always been feel satisfied with the result especially if we win that's why its good to gamble with discipline since this could save us to trigger us not to do any wild placing of bets.

Emotions would really be the main problem for most gamblers on which on the time that they would really be able to experience those consecutive losses then this is where these kind of impulsive
emotions would really be tending to come out and in result you would really be making out those kind of impulsive actions as well on which we do know that once these things been applied
on a gambling activity then it would really be something that gives out that disastrous kind of result. Gambling should really be just that for fun and not something that would be just aimed to make
easy money because having these kind of hopes and positivity would really be just that making you desperate.

As much as possible you should really be stopping or refraining yourself on having this kind of insight or having that in mind because once you do have this
kind of perception then wrong decisions or acts could really be done along the way.

It really depends on the person you are asking; we are different on this kind of question. But for me, of course, I gamble because I want to gain more money, risking it and hoping it will grow. Having fun in gambling is not the priority; maybe the next reason why you are gambling is because, not gonna lie, gambling is indeed really fun; it is like playing games, and predicting the outcome is very enjoyable, especially if you are in the role. Also, I think it is one of the things that we think whenever we lose, just to mend ourselves, we will say, "It is fine; we just gamble for fun," and after that, we will feel good.

At the end of the day, I think most of the gamblers gamble because they want more money, not because they are just gambling for fun. 

Remember, making a fortune overnight is a fairy tale for most of us. Gambling should be the spice, not the main course of your life. Life’s got plenty more to offer than the spin of a roulette wheel.

Choosing to gamble realistically is crucial as you said. Gambling to fulfill some unrealistic expectations isn't encouraged for any gambler.  Players all have the need for money, but casinos shouldn't be the sole proprietors for this, there are multiple methods to earn money in real life. Gambling gives money when it chooses to, at least to help us continue gambling in the future. They know that if a player doesn't win at all, he'll stop gambling. For this purpose, every gambler is sure of winning money, but the time is not predictable. So, people play consistently with a low amount of money and get those wins but won't be satisfied because it's small. While other gamblers may focus on gambling with huge amounts of money till, they win, and the funds will be huge. Yet he wouldn't be satisfied, as it doesn't equate to the money he's lost in the game.

So monetary expectations are never satiable to the gambler. He'd never feel like he's achieved the type of money he has in mind to win in gambling. Hence, such thoughts should be erased and something else used to replace the feeling. Playing for fun is smart and great for the emotions of a gambler. He'd always win emotionally; due to the joy he receives whenever he thinks of gambling. Most people have developed wrong perspectives of gambling because they never met their expectations. And you can't expect a player to succeed in a game that doesn't make him happy anymore.

Everyone has their own goals and reasons why they come with these intentions such as to earn (multiply) or just for entertainment and these goals also come based on how they understand gambling itself, simply put if for example they come without having a mature understanding of what gambling really is then I think they will have the goal of gambling to earn like you here, but if basically they really understand that gambling is not just about the chances of winning but always involves the possibility of losing then they will prefer to make gambling a place to find entertainment.

On the other hand I understand that everyone needs money but I think it is an absurd mindset if you put the goal of earning on gambling, it is true the fact that casinos provide equal opportunities to all gamblers to get winnings which may be in different amounts, but what we have to remember here is that gambling runs randomly which means you can never know about what makes you win and what makes you lose because the name of gambling is always about unpredictable activities which means it only refers to luck. The point is as I said above that I understand everyone needs money but the fact is gambling is not the place to earn because of the risk of possible loss that will continue to lurk you, this is why we prefer to advise anyone to put entertainment purposes in gambling, because this is safer for long-term involvement. And yes it is a fact that when a person puts the goal of earning then I believe they have a high probability of doing everything possible to get a win while luck will not be able to come according to what you want, I think you can judge about which one is better to be a goal.

Yes of course people never gamble for fun but they gamble to make money out of it, and the number of gambling addiction is increasing due to the spread of gambling ads on various social media. Most of the people are confident that they will earn a lot of money by gambling and get rich easily but these get rich schemes make them poor. And those who make such plans are very difficult to stop from gambling because they always pay attention to it which is why they never want to stop, but few people gamble just for fun.

Nowadays, the most addictive reason for newbies is the spreading of advertisements on various social medias, which attracts people by showing attractive promises. And when new gamblers go in believing these enticing assurances, they end up losing more money than they intended to make. Gradually a user gets more into gambling and becomes addicted but later if he loses his money he does not want to come back from it but greed works inside him. That's why I think gambling is never for fun but it's best to stay away from it otherwise it will become an addiction at some point and you will lose money all the time.

I don't think adverts alone is the reason many people are gambling rather the stories of people winning millions. Personally, I know how many times I have taken breaks from gambling but as soon as someone have a significant win, my interest is rejuvenated and I will begin gambling again. In addition, most persons are out of job and so due to survival they keep gambling and hoping to make mega money through gambling. I have a friend who always tell me that if he gets a job he will stop gambling that his lack of job is the only reason he gambles. I believe these are some of factors for the increase in gambling activities in our current reality.

The above also justify why most gamblers don't believe that the purpose for gambling is for entertainment. To them, if you must gamble, then you must have it in mind that you want to increase your finance. Well, I don't have to blame such gambler for their thought. When you consider that most of these gamblers are jobless you will understand why they cannot see gambling as a source of fun but rather as a means to an end.

In my community, some youths take gambling as a source of income, but it’s really surprising to me, they will wake up, take their bath, wear their clothes, and they will head straight to gambling house, that’s were some of them will spend the rest of the day at. Some of them have no job, they take gambling as their only source of income, some will beg for money, and immediately you give them, they will be going to gambling house directly with the money, which is not making any sense to me. Gambling is suppose to be for fun, and  not what you should do for a living. I haven’t seen any addicted gambler in my community achieve anything before, they are always complaining that they are financially down.

They have a world created in their heads that they invented for themselves. It is their dream to win money for themselves by playing. But this is complete absurdity because games and gambling are not there for them to win. They just want to believe it, but it really isn't. I will not prove this to them or anyone else, because they will not believe it under any circumstances. And only after a while, the game itself will put them in their place and show them what they really deserve. And only after this many of them will understand a lot, but there will also be those who do not want to understand at all.

Sooner or later on the time that you would be experiencing problems then this is where you would really be making out those realizations that you must not having that kind of mindset on which trying out to make
money with gambling or making it as a source of income? You are just basically making yourself that putting up into trouble on which we know that gambling is really that should be just that for fun and not for
making money or source of living or income because everything would really be basing or depending up on the chance of being lucky. Somewhat there are people who do make a living with it but only into those
who are really that good with sports betting and some card games but this is kind of a condition or situation on which not all would really be able to achieve.

So its better to make yourself that be at least realistic on the things that you've been dealing with and dont make yourself that delusional if you dont really like on messing up yourself
specially into financial aspects.

I think that there are no or very few people who play only for entertainment and have no financial interests in gambling. At least I don't know any. The main thing a person can do when gambling is to have fun. That is, I see it this way: a person wants to win money so that his bet is successful, but at the same time he also enjoys the process.

Gambling should always be a fun activity when you are having a boring time or meant to fill your free time without putting any hopes or expectations on winning. One of the reasons is because obviously I think it is a fact that there is no certainty that can guarantee us to be able to win at the end of the session because gambling is always about the possibility of winning or losing which we can never determine ourselves or meaning that no matter how much hope and dedication you have to pursue victory, if you are unlucky, you will definitely lose.

For me gambling is nothing more than an activity of profit - profit which is the reason why gambling cannot and should not be used as a place to earn because as many cases have occurred that a gambler will only experience a lot of disappointment when they try to make gambling a place to earn.

It cannot be denied that almost every region or country has gamblers like this, they seek income from gambling and quite a few end up becoming addicted, the saddest thing is that they are willing to become thieves just to be able to gamble. Gambling for fun is only for rich people and lots of money, not for poor people, they gamble to get rich or try their luck by gambling.

For me, gambling also requires education, especially financial education and what the purpose of gambling is. Because without knowledge and goals in gambling, they cannot master or there are no limits in gambling games. I think it is time for gambling to be educated so that there are not many irresponsible gamblers who end up harming the people around them because of crimes committed by gambling addicts.

That is bad, but unfortunately, a lot of people do that and I have seen people doing it too. There can be several reasons behind a person considering gambling as their source of income, some might do it because they are too lazy to find and do a job, some might do it because they are not well-educated and know they can't find a job that would pay them a good salary, and some might do it because they believe it is an easy way to earn true money but only if you could do that constantly.

No one can earn money constantly from gambling, even if you manage to win $50 in a day, you will most likely lose more than that in one of the next few days and then your profit will be converted into loss. That is how gambling works, it generates revenue for the casino and not the gamblers.

Agreed, it's an activity that should be done during free time and not working time, Gambling while one is busy with jobs will always make the gambler losses more money on the bets. When one is less busy and bored he or she can still think of gambling meanwhile they must have free money also. As they have free time they should also have free money as well. These days a lot of gamblers are beginning to know that gamble is a activity that's done ones a while just to stay safe from addiction and more losses.

When someone is busy with activities of employment job like civil service job the person will reduce gambling activities and more concentration will be going towards that of his job but when someone is jobless it's when the person will all this gambling new websites as it duty to discover a platform of gambling that gives bonus, so it's job that reduces the activities of someone in gambling not to be addicted, being addicted with gambling is basically base on you are free and their is no serious job to engage yourself that is another thing that causes addiction and not be addicted with gambling

To indulge that metaphor, gambling is the spice that's exotic, you can live without it. I guess the reason why they think that fortune is such a thing that you can get with a roll of a dice is probably stemming from the fact that people are crazy and stupid and there's a lot of these stories of people doing their final fortune and succeeding and those inevitably inspire some of them to do the same thing but they don't have the same luck and odds as their inspiration but those people don't know that, they think that they just need to continue gambling because they hope to hit that win. It's not really a fun time when you gamble but you're thinking of profiting at that session.

I only gamble for fun, it's my escape to relieve my stress and boredom. I always make sure that I only gamble with only at least 5% of my salary so it won't hurt much when I lose. I only wanted to see how my play will go. If I win, then I'm lucky. If I lose, it's okay because I only gamble with what I can afford to lose. It's all about having fun, and when you win, it's a plus. Do not stress yourselves because of gambling. We should all just enjoy and have fun.

Gambling sells that dream: quick cash, easy life, all the good stuff. That's a damn lie. The odds are always stacked against you. Some folks get hooked cause they hate their jobs, or feel like they can't get ahead without fancy degrees. Others just see the dollar signs and fall for that "get rich quick" crap. It doesn't work that way

You might hit it big once, feel like you're on top of the world. But what about the next day? The day after that? The house always wins, my friend. Always. Think of it like this: gambling is an addiction, but instead of drugs, it's that empty promise of easy money. It'll suck you dry, ruin your life, and leave you with nothing. The whole system is built to do exactly that

You want a steady income? A life you can build on? Ditch the casinos and the lottery tickets. That's fool's gold. Real wealth comes from putting in the work, finding something you're good at, and grinding. It might not be glamorous, but it's the only way to win in the long run

I understand about your points, but I just not believe if there are no jobs out there and that's make them to become unemployed. I believe there are many jobs, but many people especially Gen Z are picky, that's make them don't have any job and have a lot free time.

It's true job will reduce addicts, but they become unemployed due to their own choice, not because there are no jobs.

If you say that gambling is fun is an idiom then I will support your assertion. I have read others have said this in several occasions that gambling is not for fun and when one wants to have fun then they would go to leisure parks to enjoy themselves with games over there. Sometimes with families and friends. The fun is at the leisure parks and not in the gambling casinos Industry. And also I see gambling as means of looking for extra pocket money for the gambler because there is no way some left home and hustle for money and got it then go to the sports book center and play games and loss all then come back home. That doesn't make any sense and it is only insane human can do that.
Gambling is always to find extra money and if you are winning in the process you can have some excitement while playing.

You have taken the right steps when you feel tired and bored, you vent it by gambling and what's more, you bet using only a small amount of money from your salary and you can still play at any time because you don't use gambling as a money maker but use it as a means of entertainment only.
And you also have a very good awareness and understanding that you don't just hope for luck, but you also think that there will definitely be defeats and you are ready to accept it all.

If they are busy enough with their job and they have a lot of over time then provably that they can get away with addiction since they became so very busy with their job and might they can't pay any attention unto this activities since they might be more focus on their jobs rather than spending some time on gambling site and be more stress then also so tired. But if they are working a 9 to 5 job set up then maybe there's still a lot of time for them to gamble but its up to the person if what is his main intention on why they gamble since if they play because they want to earn a lot of profit then maybe they are the one who might be in huge risk to became addicted. But if they are their for short time fun and just want to spend their time to get entertain I guess this people will be fine also away from negative thoughts that we imagine that might happen to them.

When you gamble for fun, you WI always want to do it at your leisure time, so that you can enjoy the fun to the fullest. If you go and gamble during your working hour, you need a gamble expert to check on you, because it is a sign that you are gambling for money and might be addicted.

The amount that we put into gamble matters a lot, because that is what our emotions depend on. Gambling with big amount will end up getting you emotional, and might lead to chasing of your loss. As gamblers that want to continue with our gambling activities, only use the amount of money that you can let go, when you lose your bet, and enjoy the fun.

We gamble for what actually? I see them as form of making extra changes for our pockets. Gambling should never be considered as one of the enormous streams of making earnings, instead it should be regarded as recreational activity we get ourselves engaged for fun. Gambling comes with surprising results and we shouldn't be surprised, there's no how we will be having streak winnings, we're not the ones that controls the system and it's volatility will definitely rule out our plans.

The majority gamble with the aim of making more money. The majority had thought that this would make them rich when getting lucky. Unfortunately, that kind of thinking caused them to lose more rather than multiply their money.

Thinking of gambling as another stream of earning money is a scary thing. Indeed, we never know what will be the results of every bet we make that is we we never assume for winning or even losing. And that is the point of thinking that gambling is just for fun and entertainment, nothing else. And this is the fact that we need to understand before gambling and train our minds not to chase winnings instead of enjoying the moment.
