Hi,

As everyone knows the goal of betting is to get the largest amount of money , knowing that the risks do not change whether you bet a large or small amount, and sometimes the amount you bet with is your capital, and this drains you of your time and money, and perhaps your work and daily tasks.

Do you think that the benefits in gambling Worth the invest of your money and your time with knowing that your chances are Just 50/50?

Not always to win, sometimes for fun too.

The risk changes, the money you are using to bet and willing to loose is what you are risk. A bettor who uses big amount in betting is risking big, unlike a gambler using a small amount of money who is not risking much financially.

It takes some few minutes to place your bets if you bet online, I do not really see how that drains you of time and can hinder you from other daily tasks.

The word "risk " comes with different  perspectives
For example:
A gambler could gamble with small amount and still be risking it funds because he has a small amount of fund,income or capital generally.

Gambling could be taken as fun just as it's being  said  you lose, nothing  to worry about , you win, consider it your luck .

The purpose of gambling is for fun so you should not think about draining your time and money because basically when there is free time and more money to bet then it is not a problem and will not even interfere with your work, but if they are a gambler who always hopes for more then it will interfere with all your activities that should run properly.

Don't tell me the benefits of gambling, I'm more aiming for fun then for more priority then work or investment is the main thing should not be missed just because of gambling.

Gambling serves as a means of entertainment, and not an investment. It is worth using a little amount of money to pay for having fun, and if you are lucky, you might win big. Some people use gambling to relief themselves from stress at work during the weekend. It is not only when you win that gambling is worth it. Whatever that you do for fun or for entertainment is good as long as it makes you happy. We need to know that we must lose to gamble, no matter how careful that we are or reckless. Anyone that is not cool with his gambling results can quit gambling.

The thing is that you just understand that gambling is something that is flexible and there is no guarantee of any winning in the first place and that's why it's said to always gamble because of the fun you can possibly get but some persons feel that with an increase in staking power and reduction in odds or risk that the possibility of winning comes closes which if you ask me is just a mere mirage to the horrors that awaits any gambler with such mentality.

First of all, it's not an investment. Moreover, it's not a kind of job you have to ask yourself if the time spent on it will be worthful or not from the profitability point of view. Gambling is solely gambling, a game of luck and risks where you can make fast money in large proportions or lose everything in a blink of an eye. Are you sure you know what you should expect from gambling and what you can realistically expect from this activity?

If gambling worth or not for you, it depends on what your current goal is. I would say if you are trying to thrive financially you shouldn't waste your time and money on it, because the chances are against you, and it's likely you are going to lose money, reaching nowhere with your money. However, if you are just looking for entertainment while having a slight chance of hitting a jackpot, then go for it.

I dont think its safe to use the word “invest” in this context because gambling is not an investment and anyone bearing this type of thought is on the wrong path.

There's a reason why gamblers are always advised to use money they can afford to lose - with that kind of money you'll have to worry less about losing it. so the idea or the fear of staking when yYou know the odds of you winning is 50/50 won't be there to hinder you from gambling. only those who lack good bankroll management skills are the ones that are going to feel it each time they want to stake their money on a game but those who have a well-managed bankroll won't feel it because they already have everything under control.

Not really getting the largest amount of money but as long as you win, that's all what matters.

Don't think that anything you spend in gambling is a thing that you invest. Whether it is your money or time, they're not investments and shouldn't be considered like that. Treat the money and time you spend in gambling as things that you're good to go and acceptable to be gone eventually.

It's one of the possible end goals, not the end of the end goal. Yes, one can argue that people bet to earn money, I myself consider it as something of a byproduct of sorts? Like if I win and earn money then nice, if I don't then oh well kind of mentality. And while risks may not necessarily change, the amount you do does, which is big depending on how your financial situation is.

If it was investing? No definitely not. You might as well just put it in a random bank that can give you interest for putting it in there. I guess if you ask people who win then they're going to answer yea it's worth it, but it only ever is if you actually win.

That all depends on your goal.  For me I like to bet for entertainment so while yes the odds can be 50/50 (most likely not with house edge) the object for me is more entertainment amd not so much all in it for the possible doubling of my money.  The output in some cases is that I win and have fun.  Other times I lose but still graded some entertainment value out of losing.  So yeah for me when I do gamble it's worth it.

I mean what's the point though? if you don't want to take that risk then don't gamble even if the chances are not 50/50. That's how gambling is, who take that risk, the unknown and see if you are going to win or not. If you can't understand that or don't want to lose your money then simply get out of it and never comeback.

But as we have seen, it's human nature that makes us fall to gambling itself. And we are willing to take that risk, and it's not like investing your money, it's the uncertainty of returns and that's what define gambling per se.

The thrill is there though. I think that's what excites us most that we don't mind how much time spent on the analysis. If you enjoy what you are doing, I'm sure its worth doing and it's gonna be rewarding when you win.

Just like trading, those traders are risking their coins and time analysing which way the trend will go and then bid to profit from it. Whether they win or not, they'd still think its worth the time.

Everything is worth it in the system. I do gamble often but it's never been in my position to stake everything in my possession, I'm not desperate to make money and even if I'm keen on printing profits, atleast there are other stable sources of incomes other than gambling. Losses are compulsory but its okay to lose because the system is unpredictable but always make sure your winnings exceeds your Losses rate. Gambling is not for everyone, its time to start understanding the basis and formulation of the system, it usually comes out steadily.

Is very wrong to think gambling in the same vain as investment because at a point gambling lack any quality or attributes of investment because you are not buying any commodity,  even the odds that you accumulate via gambling is just a balloon point that can go from 100% to zero and at the same time go from zero to 100%,  this is why gambling is a high risk activities and many have lost more than they ever wins,  and on the other hand,  those fraction few that we're able to win some jackpot in not careful still lose everything back to the house if they continue gambling.

Gambling should be taken as way of having and cashing fun and nothing to it,  because thinking otherwise will only increase your risk level and at some point we tend to love hopes since the house edge is always at play in any gambling games,  which is why,  it is risky to have the believe that you will win over the house in any point in time.

This question or survey should be drawn against the numbers of gamblers who have been playing and complaining or rejoicing. Obviously the numbers of gamblers losing are much compared to winners and even when you read comments on gambling board, you get to hear more loses and regret than you see someone rejoicing for his win. So the numbers of loses outweigh that of winners.


Of course when you bet and lose, it will drain your money and the time you would have used to work towards something else that is productive would have been wasted in an unproductive venture which is gambling when in loss

It's never a good sign if your main earnings are from gambling and it's draining you physically and mentally. Gamble for fun or to get small incentives but don't make it your main goal to make money. It never turns out well and you are in on a world of hurt. The margins are very tight when it comes to gambling and the sportsbook/casino arent your friends. They are doing their best to squeeze everything out of you while the odds are stack against you. 

The truth is it should never be the main source of your income, unless, you are a long-time sportsbettor or poker player. But if you are just trying your luck in casino games such as dice, roulette, hi-lo and other games of chance, better forget it. You are only giving yourself a headache if you will go into this kind of journey. Better look for stable job to be the main source of your income. Gambling should not be treated as such.

I barely stays 3 hours a a day gambling because I'm occupied with life situation and other work and that's because everything I do in gambling isn't guaranteed, as the name says is gamble and I have other life situations that guarantees me money, not even just guarantee it's a must because I work and I must get paid for it. So I don't think the part where you say gambling worth the time is applicable for everyone, not everyone sleep in casino platforms.

I know of people that people that gamble for a living and they are living large, I have seen a guy whose is a university graduate make a retirement money from gambling and that change his life to date, he doesn't do any apart from gambling and he stake high and win high, such kind of people are what we called gifted with luck but because it happen to that guy and some few other people doesn't mean is going to happen to you, only few people make money from gambling, the rest lose to gambling platforms.

We should really be always telling into ourselves that gambling is never been an investment on which you would really be putting up your money and time to invest on. We should really be realizing that its just for entertainment and something for past time on which its never been considered to be spend up your money and trying out to make income from it. If you do hover yourself with having this kind of mentality
then you would really be putting up yourself on such big trouble with gambling on which sooner or later you would really be finding yourself that getting addict into it.

Play for fun and entertainment and dont go further away from that because once these kind of sentiments changed then you would really be that desperate then it would be causing up
that tons of errors and mistakes on which this could really be leading up into that wrong move and could end up that disaster into your life when it comes to finances.
This is why it would be better  that you should be wary on the things that you've been dealing into.

anyone who is a gambler also know the rules and the regulation of gambling and when gambling you have to know that two things are involved in gambling neither you win or you lose in gambling so that is the things that is involved, that is why they said gambling is not meant for children it is only the adult that's supposed to pertake in gambling, because I know quite well that gambling is made of a bricks measure and it is a 50/50 kind of, in which I know quite well if you profit in gambling or not so therefore we should know that making money in gambling is at higher risk so we should not depend on gambling or divert our investment money to gambling

The main reason I gamble and bet is just to look for sensation and pleasure, but I have to admit that as time goes by this habit starts to change a little and my heart tells me that gambling is for profit. and we always hope for these benefits. However, instead of making a profit, the gambling that I do only causes losses and losses, and indeed if it is not managed well then the gambling activities that we do will only drain the contents of our wallet. We want to get away from this activity, but it seems quite difficult for us to let go of this activity from our daily lives. In the end, we can only try to manage this gambling activity as best as possible, so as not to cause losses in the long term. as well as other negative impacts that will not only harm yourself but also others.

And gambling is not a place to make a profit but rather it is a place to spend the money we have. And even though this is a little contradictory to what I said in the first paragraph, in fact that's what it is, where we bet on something we're not sure we'll get, and then regret it.

I don't understand the point that the fund you use for gambling is your capital. Do you mean you are using the capital of your business for gambling? Or do you see gambling as an investment where you put in a large capital? Gambling is worth the money and time I assign to it because they are just a small part of my resources. I don't spend much time gambling and I gamble with a small portion of my funds. I will not certainly say that I have made gains from my bets this year but the truth is I have also been entertained. If you perceive gambling as an investment it will lead you to gamble more than you can afford to lose and you could start engaging in loss chasing which could ultimately lead to addiction.

infact, the chances are not 50/50 man ... That analysis was so wrong! There's never a greater chance to win and topple over the casinos - even to the least ones around you, trying to improve their traffic and reputation..

---

gambling ain't worth your time and resources altogether...see, If you could invest that time into something resourceful, It'll fetch you more money, even without spending a dime innit... But the big question is - what do you really want? You wanna have fun or you wanna  throw shit at the wall to see if it sticks? yikes!

Benefits of gambling? Like what are those benefits that we can value as worthy of investing in?

If you don't understand how risky gambling is, you should not consider gambling as an investment.

For example, these people who take gambling as an investment are those already skilled ones who always compete in a competition like a billiard player, or basketball player, that hasn't reached yet the status of being professional.

But if you talk about just relying on your luck? Better forget it mate.

You are quite oversimplifying the reason someone would engage and take part in gambling, in my opinion. Sure, most of people do all of it because the chances of winning money out their predictions, but there is also some fun behind it, you know. There are people (it is my case when I do not have much of a budget and we are going through some interesting sport seasons) who see sport betting as a way to enhance their experience when watching love matches with their friends and family. It is not the same watching one of those live not having a stake on one of the teams from having money staked on the victory of one of them.

When comes to whether it is worth it to bet on changes as 50/50. I totally believe it is, otherwise there would not be such the huge volume of money on bets as these we see in all kinds of bookies on the internet. Keep in mind there are people out there placinf bets on possible events and matches results which have relatively low chances of happening like 20/80, so they would not mind to go for a 50% of chance whatsoever.

That may be your reasons for gambling but for others gamble for the thrill of it. They enjoy the risk and the uncertainty of the game.  

A responsible gambler knows to gamble only with less than 10 percent of his monthly income.

Gambling is for fun. I can get more excitement from a $10 bet than spending money on cinema and popcorn. Gambling is not always 50:50 and that is another thing that makes it even more interesting.

No, it's not worth it, especially with that kind of purpose. You are not aiming to have fun anymore which will be stressful in the long run.
If there's something that is worth the time and effort then sports betting will be the key to make some good benefits. Love the game and it will love you back by betting at a high percentage due to the effort and time analyzing the game and predicting the results the right way.

But in casino games, I won't expect too much there. You would either lose or you will just return from where you started. Winning is near impossible, most of the time you are chasing losses and then you will become greedy once you win which leads to going back where you started again because casino games tend to get back everything you won.

Anything that has a very high risk when it comes to the investment outcome should be given a full-time opportunity as a means to get finances. 
 
In my own perspective, the only time that is worth investing in gambling is the little time that we get, and that is to be used on things we could consider doing with our free time. When that free time is off, we go back to our normal daily hustle, and that's it.
 
Gambling is not worth giving full-time attention to both your time and your assets, as we know full well that the result can be sideways, so I don't take that chance of risking my career over something whose outcome is under probability.

It highly depends on your risk appetite. There are people who squeeze the maximum amount of money they can on an event because they believe that it's worth it. There are also other people who settle for the safest plays and take profits wherever they can. I personally would get all the possible value I can on a bet no matter what, especially on games I'm highly confident on that will result to a win. I sometimes play for safe games, too, but getting the juice on an event you pretty much read everything about just rewards better.

You are on the wrong side of understanding what gambling really is, if you think that's an investment.

Even how much money you put in gambling, even how much seriousness and focus you will apply here, you can't treat gambling as an investment. An investment is supposed to give you sure returns with a sense even if we are also facing risk here. In gambling, the only result you will always get is losing most of the time that's why it should not be treated as any form of investment.

For some people, it is actually worth it, despite the losses they experience, which they don't sometimes pay much attention to, but if you must know, not everyone is gambling all the time. Normally, there is no one who is just gambling for the purpose of making losses and throwing away their money. Every gambler wants to win while gambling, but not every gambler is very (100%) concerned with gambling and making profit. Some people just take gambling as a casual activity that they can do to have fun, and if they are lucky to win, they will be happy, while there are people who are very dedicated and obedient to gambling. Those people who take gambling as a thing of fun gamble less and stake the amount they can afford to lose, and some of them also gamble occasionally, while those who are fully dedicated to gambling have different habits; some have very terrible habits of gambling more than the amount they can afford to lose, and some are also taking loans to gamble. 

There is not only one kind of gambler; everyone who gambles has different habits and lifestyles for how they handle it. Some people usually get lucky, and it pays them off, but this doesn't happen all the time. Take, for example, the man who gambled with his entire savings on the Q slot game and was lucky to win. 

I Don't think or have considered predicting matches a waste of time cause I actually like this part, they are so many times that I didn't play or stake the games or matches I predicted but I did it just cause i enjoy doing it, sometimes just to check my accuracy and other times to just play around.

Gambling Is clearly a game of luck and nothing sweets more than winning, so it's worth it in a way the time and money that is used, just don't let it become habit cause it can lead to financial harm.

This is the reason why I always emphasize to myself and also to others especially my friends not to prioritize gambling activities, there is absolutely no benefit that you will get but will only trigger many problems in your life when you are too excessive and prioritize a place that should only be for a joke.

For me gambling is nothing more than filling time when I have free time with boredom and when I choose to gamble with the smallest possible budget that is just enough to keep me a little entertained, one of the reasons why I have absolutely no thoughts of gambling too seriously is because as the OP said that the odds are 50-50, meaning you might win or lose, both of these things are always unknowable because gambling runs randomly to determine who the winner is. and if you are too serious in treating gambling too seriously, it is because as the OP said, the odds are 50-50, meaning you might win or lose, both of these things are always unknowable because gambling runs randomly to determine who the winner is, And if you are too serious in treating gambling like gamblers who have the intention and purpose to earn then actually the opposite will happen where you will actually lose a lot of money slowly which sometimes you don't realize and not only that because in terms of time you will also lose a lot of valuable time and maybe that time will produce something more useful if you fill the time by doing other things.

Depends on your goal, I think. If you plan to get rich from gambling that only means you are willing to put that much time and money, taking the risk, to achieve such feat. However, as you've mentioned in gambling there is an equal ratio of winning and losing. Given that we're not in control of our luck, then you should have a large bankroll and patience to increase your chance to do so however, things will never still be guaranteed. Personally, I don't have such goal from this industry. Bigger expectations mean bigger things to lose in exchange of that. There are people who really won big time in gambling but only thinking of how manyn have failed or are continuiusly losing, I removed the part that I have hope to also do, in this industry.

Right now, I still mind earning profit but not as much as actually getting rich because of this industry. I prioritize being entertained than to be profitable. The goal is to avoid big loss than achieving big gains, simply because losing will be more certain in gambling. It would be much better to just accept a fact than to be hopeful for things we have no control with.

gambling is not an investment, it does not bring constant profits, it does not allow people to earn enough money to pay bills, that is why when a person wants to start gambling, then that person should think about playing just for fun, Obviously it's not about playing to lose, you have to think about winning. but the amount that this person puts into the game must be an amount that does not harm that person, the kind of money that the person can lose and will not cause him any fault. Preferably I always advise people to play with small amounts of money, for example if you like to go to the beach and other places to have fun and spend $40 in those places

so you know that the 40$ you used in those places will not come back, what you gained by going to those places was fun, so when you put 20$ in the casino you should also think in the same way that those 20$ you put in the casino will not come back , so the fun you got was the game you were playing. You can't think about things like putting in $20 and you're going to play to come out with more than $20 and with that you're going to make a profit, forget about that. At most, just think about playing to win a few times so you can spend more time playing without putting more money into the casino too soon. but always be aware that eventually you will lose everything you put into the casino and you will have to deposit more money again to play

and when you put more money back into playing, don't think about things like chasing profits, you must accept and accept losses, just deposit the money knowing that you will lose everything again and that the only thing you will gain will be fun. Look at it like when you play video games, you play and win but you don't play using money and therefore you don't win money, what you win is the fun, those moments of wins and losses and the challenge you feel when you're playing and what you win. Don't expect profits from gambling. forget it

When I saw the title I thought it'd be about sportsbooks since it's another term for vig.

I'd say it's worth it based on how much you're getting out of the activity because not everyone gambles seriously and only aims for the profits. Others also gamble casually because it's still a good source of entertainment. They barely focus on the profits knowing you'd have to sacrifice more of your time to have a better record and even then it's still not guaranteed.

That's not a really difficult question to answer my guy, if the lemon we're squeezing is gambling and the effort to squeeze is the investment that we put in it then I'd tell you that it's not worth it, you'd probably get a thimbleful at most and if you're lucky a small cup full but that's it, the effort that you'd put into it wouldn't be good, you'd be squeezing too much of the lemons but some of them don't really have the juice in them most of the time. It's a really good analogy on gambling and helps you visualize to some level how difficult it is to actually profit in gambling, that's why it's been recommended that you only gamble what you can afford to lose and not go all out just to be disappointed and lose your money and waste your time.

It's true, sometimes we just want to enjoy and there are those hardcore gamblers to make money. So I think it's worth of your time and investment as you can get something out of it. Although it is still money that we might not afford to lose, but that's up to the gamblers themselves to take that risk.

And we can't even consider it investment though, I mean when we gamble we all know that our chances are not that great. But still we take it and see if we can profit or not. But in investment there is what we call mitigation risk. We somewhat have strategies not to lose all our money.

Don't ever consider gambling as your investment, because it's not.
You have to see this as a risky option to make money and that is not a 50/50 success rate, expect a lower rate especially on a luck based games.
If you are into gambling, always ask yourself if you can afford to lose the money and if you have the budget for this kind of activity. Investment should be rewarding and doesn't need to have a lower probability to make profit, gambling is gambling.

Agree with this mate the purpose of a gambling is for fun to those gamblers who love the game. And also we are all know that through gambling we can feel happiness that we cannot felt from anybody. But we must all remember that we should not go beyond our limitations in order to still have the momentum in life or let say we have a discipline in ourselves cause if we don't have discipline then there's a chance that we got addicted and once that happen Many circumstances will come on us.

I'm not the type of person who gambles to get more money than that. I gamble to have fun - if I win it's great, but if I lose it doesn't matter. Because when your main gambling orientation is to be able to get money from it, in the end you will be stressed when you find out that you are losing more than what you are getting. You also think about the time and energy you have put in, so that your gambling has no meaning other than making you stressed. So instead of me feeling like that, I'm not too money oriented when gambling and just gamble for fun.

To make it simple, no, a very big no, gambling should not be treated as an investment. Although investing and gambling are similar in the sense that you can lose money from a wrong move or decision or by fate, the chances of losing in gambling are too much because you can only or mostly rely on luck, meaning if you are not lucky enough, don't bother to have hope that you will earn in gambling. Meanwhile, in investing, if you did this stuff correctly and with caution, you will have the guarantee of earning. It's much more worthy to allocate your time, effort, and money in an investment or business than hoping to win big in gambling that might not come.

There is also no guarantee that if you invest or start a business, you will be successful or that your life will change. It still depends on how you do in your stuff, but at least the margin of losing money is not too much.

It's up to a person. I gamble for fun, even though I do not always win. I do not rely or invest in gambling since outcomes are not guaranteed. It's just like flipping a coin, you can get heads or tails, simple 50/50. There are chances that you can win big and sometimes you can also lose money.

Because gambling is something that is closely related to luck, it is not good to use gambling as an activity other than an activity that will make us happy. For example, gambling as a place to make money, or even stranger as a place to invest. Unless we invest in the casino owner, perhaps that would make more sense, but the question is does a casino still need an investor? because they already have a lot of money, especially if we don't have a name that we can use as a promotion.
Wrong thinking patterns will give rise to something wrong, out of nowhere someone might think that gambling can be used as a place to make extra money. Do they really not know the risks of gambling or do they turn a blind eye to the risks involved in gambling?
Because I'm sure if someone uses their rationality, then they won't think that they can use gambling as a place to provide them with additional income. This is what ultimately makes people addicted to gambling, yes, they made the wrong way of thinking at the start so that made them take the wrong path.

Don't get it twisted, in gambling, we don't invest anything because gambling can't be considered as investment, if what you are risking on gambling is mind boggling for you then you should be turning that money into buying an asset or something that's worth calling investment.

Do you know the type of money that's fit for gambling? The kind that you use to buy biscuits for kids when coming back home every day after work, it's biscuit money, if lost there is nothing to regret there, it's not something worth thinking twice about.

See, I don't pity gamblers that lose money, if it's painful for you then you are risking too much, find a way to lower the amount and also lower your expectations, people like trying to solve a problem with more problems, we can see a lot of examples among gamblers today.

          -    For me, it is not good to think of gambling as an investment because gambling is not a type of investment. Everyone also knows that gambling is a place to waste money in reality.
That's why it's only appropriate to make it an amusement place where whether you win or lose is fine with us.

And gambling should only be a place for us to relax or be entertained, because if we think that it is an investment, it can be said that the mindset of a gambler is wrong if this is his perspective on gambling.

Nope, I disagree, so you can't claims "everyone" here. Getting the largest amount of money means you're trying to hit the jackpot or bet with max amount, I'm neither of them, for me winning some amount of money is enough.

If you're gamble just to earn money, don't mind to spend a lot of your money and time, it's not worth because you will broke.

Investing is similar as allocating, so it's possible to use the word in so many ways. Even gambling in a casino and investing on an asset also have similarities because we are both taking risks when we do them and just like in gambling, we also invest or allocate a time for doing research and others when we invest on an asset and we are also being advised to invest only according to our own capacity.

Despite of it, there is still a fear but we need to face it if we want to grow our capital. I know this is funny but those who are more careful are usually the ones who are scared, while those who are reckless are not, though they also know how to feel a regret later on.

If your intention is to make money then probably not, since the amount of time needed to make any amount of money is very high, and even if you were to achieve your goal, you will begin to be banned by casinos as they get to know that you are a professional player, making gambling one of the few professions in which you get banned the better you become, but if your intention is to have some fun, gambling is without a doubt a hobby you can enjoy once in a while.

For some people, this is just a secondary goal their goal is to enjoy playing and take profit when there is an opportunity to win money but it's not the main goal for some.


It is human instinct to take a chance to double what they are betting even though the house has the edge, people are thrilled with the challenges it's what makes us alive, if you happen to visit a physical casino you will see people's faces on how they are excited and thrill on every roll and bet, some people derive their pleasure from gambling so gambling has benefits for these people.
Gambling produces dopamine in the brain, which is a reward system that makes gamblers thrilled and got their pleasure.

Hi, For me as a gambler and investor, I don't look at the time I spend on something, I look at its outcome especially when I finish doing it, and another thing, I don't treat gambling as part of income or some kind of investment, I'm doing it for my own pleasure and to challenge myself since I'm just doing it as a hobby or one of may pass time. Maybe I can only say that the time I devoted to gambling was worth it when I won big or I was satisfied with the enjoyment and excitement I felt.

50/50 chances means you are gambling. Although per books it could be 50/50 but you have to be confident that you have over 50% win rate so you'll end up winning in the long run. You can squeeze the juice if you want, make it result to a bigger odds so you need just 51% to be profitable. Most of us bet on 1.90, that is 10% juice for the bookies, but we can eliminate tthat if we bet on 2.00 odds every time, with the right bankroll management and 51% win rate, we will be profitable in the long run.

It shouldn't really be about making a huge amount of money and forgetting that it's all generated mostly for fun and entertainment,when you make it seem that way your opening the floor of loosing your money to it because your mind is set to explore and make more money out of it which makes it not worth it.
But looking at the fact that you can feel relaxed when doing so cause you ain't putting more money to it makes it all better and suitable.its only one who's idle and greedy about making money by all means that will take up such task.
So the benefits your talking about it's not profitable as whereas gambling is not an investment platfor that you invest your time and money,so it doesn't worth any benefits it's just for fun.

That is the best option of all, seeing the game as a hobby option, keep in mind that in most cases things can become very difficult if we treat the game as if it were an income, job or something where it gives money, it is o The worst that can be done, I have always seen things like that, the game has to be something to have fun, not take it as if it were an investment or something like that, because it is basic that things that risk money cannot be treated as if it were something certain ,because it is easy to lose money there.

If we look for a way to make money, I think that taking it as a hobby is the best possible, but always controlling myself in everything, because money is what is spent the most, and it is what we must take care of the most, for that reason we have to Take care of our money, do not make use of money as if they were worthless papers in a casino, each dollar of ours is very valuable, because in casinos each dollar is not given away.

First, gambling ≠ investment.
Second, gambling isn't 50/50, it's mostly 49 (gambler)/51 (casino).

So if you think the amount you spent is an investment and you will able to beat the casino because both of the party have a same winning chance, you're completely wrong. Gambling is only for fun, where the amount when you lose or win will not harm your daily activities.

Sometimes it's dependent on the outcome, if the outcome or the expected outcome is really big then it could be considered worth the while but then probability attached to it has always made it feel different that you may not really want to risk it because you feel it's too risky to invest thst much especially when you loose its even a worse feeling. Before you gamble it's actually important you make this kind of analysis as to if it will be worth the while or no and that will determine the kind of risk you will be willing to take on any of such games.

Before you risk any amount check the risk to reward ratio and If it will means that your losses will be minimal as compared to your wins then it's could be considered a fair deal but of your losses will out weigh the win than it's never a deal to consider because it's not balanced at all. Gambling with your risk to reward ratio been considered is a go strategy to help you know how well to still consider gambling.

At least for most of us, but there are gamblers who considered it as an investment as they are making money from it. Successful poker players makes money using their skills, i think they can be proud to say that they consider gambling as an investment, the same goes with successful sports bettors as well.

If you don't believe that skills can help you win in gambling, then you will always believe that "gambling ≠ investment.".. (as you stated).



If there's a house edge, Yes!



Again, this "skills" thing is not applicable against a casino as no one could beat long term a casino that has a house edge.

No. And what you are saying about the risk not changing is incorrect. Try playing Crash and you will see.
When there are high rollers betting the game crashes so fast that it cannot even go to x2.00. But when there are small bettors left in there, it can go up to x2000. Imagine a gambler betting 1 Bitcoin, do you really expect the gambling site's system to just let it go up to x100 - x1000? I don't think so.
You bet high, chances of getting high multipliers also gets slimmer or the gambling business will go bankrupt in a rush.

if you gamble for fun, then you will not consider how much money, energy and time you have spent on gambling. because if you keep calculating this and thinking about it day and night, in the end it will only drain your energy and there is no benefit from gambling in a situation like that. because gambling should be able to give us passion and excitement which can improve our mood. even though at some time we will lose, that's gambling, and if you are a responsible gambler then you don't worry too much about it.

If the benefits are a little relaxation and fun then gambling is worth my time and money. 50/50 chances look great actually, because some of us like to have fun chasing some higher multipliers, and when we choose to play slots chances for winning something great are very low as well.

As it's stated many times, gambling should be all about fun & games, and it's like that if we spend some money we can afford to lose. We can discuss that money can be spent for some better things, but it's individual... while some people enjoy going out and partying some people enjoy spinning slots and betting on other gambling games. At the end of the day, tastes should not be debated, everyone has the right to spend their money on things they like.

Yes, but it only for small part because most gamblers don't really spend time in gambling with the aim of achieving enjoyment but to be able to pursue their dreams of winning big or even changing their lives in the hope of getting the jackpot.
If the goal is wrong then it is clear that gambling is just place where you can quickly spend money and forget about time, there is ambition that brings the gambler feelings to be able to continue to survive by pursuing victory or profit.

It just that the risks and opportunities in gambling are always different, in fact every gambler will find differences in the risks and opportunities they get.
However, it cannot be denied that the house always has an advantage and the gambler is the only party who will always suffer losses from losing money every time.
Everything will be different if there is the right approach and goal, for those who can have the right goal and approach will always be able to make the best use of their time and money or even understand that this is just paid place to get pleasure.
Thinking about spending time and money in gambling with the aim of making money or profit is just the thinking of those gamblers who are filled with ambition.

Gambling exists in a curious purgatory between leisure and financial ambition. It beckons with the allure of instant wealth, a casino mirage shimmering in the desert of our everyday lives. Yet, the odds are stacked cruelly against the gambler, a constant undercurrent of risk threatening to sweep away any potential gains.

For those seeking financial security, gambling is a siren song best left unheard. It's a pursuit painted in shades of red, where losses are the norm and victories fleeting exceptions. The time and resources poured into chasing a lucky streak could be far better invested in building a secure financial future.

However, gambling isn't entirely devoid of value. It can be a momentary escape, a thrilling rollercoaster ride into the unknown. A small stake can transform a night out into a shared experience, a story to be recounted with laughter or groans depending on the outcome. The key lies in recognizing it for what it truly is: a fleeting entertainment, not a path to riches.

Your chances are not 50/50 in gambling. Maybe the outcome is 50/50 because you can either win or lose but your chances on winning is depends on what game you are playing because each game has different odds.



Gambling should be use as source fun and entertainment. You are going to an addiction path if you are sacrificing everything that is important to you just to play gambling that we all know your chances of winning is very small. It’s not worthy to invest time and money on gambling because it’s not an investment tool!

We do actually gamble for fun and winning is just a bonus. Though this depends on how we see gambling ourselves whether it is for fun, income etc. we don't intentionally invest in gambling and for me it is just a fee on how much fun we wanted but the money and we should only use our extra money and time not the hard earned or loan money and all our precious time. This all about time and money management that is why we put limits into it. If we enjoy the game then it's worth it if not then that's seems a different story.

This has a lot to do about the purpose for you being a gambler, are you doing it only because you needed money to sustain yourself or you are gambling as a means for an entertainment, this will determine the way you will see loosing while gambling as being hurting or something you less have concern about, but it must be cleared to you that gambling is not a business venture or an investment whereby you expect a daily return from.

First of all, this is not how gambling works and especially if you want to make money through gambling then it is not that you put more amount in a bet in the hope to make more money. If you approach it like this then there is a high chance that you will end up losing more money than winning.

If you really want to be a successful gambler, then you need to manage your risk and the risk cannot be managed if you put a lot of money into a single bet or single gambling game. Although there is no hard and fast rule on how much you should bet with, but if your approach is to become a millionaire in a day then you will end up getting nothing. Only slowly and steadily you would be able to gain some wins.

This depends on the goal on why you want to gamble in the first place as the experience may vary.

If a person aims to gamble for the sake of having fun/entertainment, then profit is relatively important to him/her as satisfying such urge would be enough for him. Obviously, if a person aims to gamble with profit in mind, then winning is the aim.

To answer your question by providing a background above, investing your time in gambling CAN be profitable but it is essential that you only do this for short-term. With the presence of house-edge on gambling platforms, it is but natural for them to have the competitive edge in the long-run due to statistics alone. But if you have the discipline of knowing when to stop your gambling games, then you may squeeze every win that you experience by stopping, thus making it profitable on your end.

Yes, the benefits of my gambling is actually worth my investment both in time and money.
What are some of these benefits that I get from gambling

• Unwinding after a long stressful day. It is better that drinking alcohol
• bonding with friends. Yes sometimes I go out and gamble with friends. It helps out bond stronger.
• Self-discipline - I learned self control and discipline from gambling too. Doing what I said I would do, when I should do it whether I feel like it or not. In the context of chasing losses or over gambling.
• More knowledgeable. Yes it has made me to be more knowledgeable about gambling addiction and be able to talk about it to school kids, the dangers and how to stay safe which of course starts with not gambling until one is at least 21 years of age.

These are the benefits.

Anyone who says gambling is all bad is doing the wrong thing and needs some reorientation.

Gambling and investment both involve the same risks, you have to risk a certain amount of money in order to get the hope of profit. But gambling is a short-lived activity, whereas investing can last in the long term. Gambling is a game that is tied to time, you can lose or win in an instant. While investments can last up to several years, investors usually expect returns over the long term. Investment is the act of allocating funds to be used as assets with the hope of generating profits in the future. Investors can also manage their assets depending on the value being traded. If profits start to reach the desired point, investors can immediately sell them without experiencing any risk.

Another difference between gambling and investing, if you allocate $15 every week to place bets and then you don't win, the risk is that you will run out of all your capital. But otherwise, investors have various options to prevent loss of staked capital. Investors can set a stop loss on investments as a simple way to avoid risk, if the investment value falls below the initial price, investors have the opportunity to hold their assets until the value increases again to the desired point.

Yes for the problem of the impact they will experience always depends on how their point of view on gambling which will ultimately determine how they treat this activity, there are two choices and as you said above about whether they will treat gambling as a place for entertainment or to earn, all of this depends on how they address gambling activities from the beginning of the introduction which will also ultimately cause different reactions and responses when the situation of defeat.

But honestly in my opinion lately more people are trying to make gambling a place to overcome financial problems in the sense that they gamble to earn such as to overcome debt problems or improve family finances, however this is the wrong mindset and point of view on gambling which in the end proves that they even experience many problems in their lives, especially in terms of losing balance in finances because they are trapped in a cycle of addiction.

One of the reasons in my opinion is that during the introduction phase they only see gambling from one side and do not see it as a whole, especially from the possibility of risk, usually people focus more on "profit" so that it makes them feel excited because they think that they have found a good place to earn, this usually happens when a gambler manages to get his first win which in the end makes them lose a little awareness to think rationally that actually the possibility of risk can never be tolerated.

Gambling allows for any amount of money, but the players care for a bigger win. Hence, they are tempted to wager huge money. Gambling is a game that requires steady observation of money wagered and won. Empowering only the wagering aspect of the game, without a level up to know the ratio between the lost and won money, puts the player in a deep loss. It's never simple to gamble properly with lots of money in the bankroll. When a player is monetarily equipped, his goal will be for bigger compensation from the casino.

The little wins wouldn't matter, unless he's been oriented on the necessity of wagering bit by bit, regardless. Any player that ventures into gambling, deserves to know the crucial importance of bit-by-bit long-term wagering motives. Financial problems have led many people into gambling, which is not meant to be a criterion for becoming a player. Desperation instead of aspiration as a gambler, ends up endangering the long-term good results a gambler expects. Looking out for transient results leads to addiction.

Risk will change with the amount of money you are putting because gambling is totally luck so you don't know that whether you bet will be right or wrong so if you bet by using large amount then you can loss amount at once if your bet gets wrong.

Gambling can become a cause to waste your useful time because you will try again and again but neither you will win nor you can leave your lost amount so it will remove your contemplation from useful work and will engage you in gambling. Large number of individuals are gambling just for earning but some of them are a part of gambling for entertainment.

Some of us gamble for fun or to relax, you should know that if you are playing gambling then you aren't invest, you are risking your money with luck.
If gambling is taking so much time from you that it is affecting your daily life then you should quit or take a break.
We couldn't really say if the profit from gambling is worth it if it is already taking up too much time from you that you couldn't even focus on other things.

You got a lot of things about gambling wrong. First off, gambling is never 50/50 in the real world. In an ideal world, where people are good with playing fair and not winning what they could acquire through brute force or technicalities they imposed upon the game, this could be the case, but we all know it doesn't work that way, if it does then casinos wouldn't be a surefire successful business venture in the first place. There's a certain level of edge against the house or the opponent no matter how you look at it, sometimes it's explicitly mentioned to make sure they don't get hammered by the law, sometimes it's kept a secret from the player since they deem the prospect of the money worth more than the jail time they may suffer.

You also got the idea of risks wrong. Risks are ever-changing, and in the case of gambling highly-dependent on your capacity. In practice and in paper, you increase your risks by betting large, and lessen the risks you take by betting small. That is why it's always a bummer to lose a grand, and negligible to lose a dollar. You can earn the dollar back easily, you have to work for your paper if you want the grand.

The idea of the juice being worth the squeeze is a little too vague as well. Cause at the end of the day how worthy something is, solely lies upon the person and what they deem as worthy and not. In summary, this post is nothing but a baloney in my opinion cause you're blabbering things you don't know and saying things that are otherwise not true. what the hell man.

Gambling never promises you anything personally, lots of people gamble for the fun and relief they get from it, if you're looking for a job with a large pay, you can get one outside gambling to be successful. I must mention that you are engaging in gambling with a wrong mindset and that's why you possibly see it as impracticable.  There are equal chances of both loss and gain in gambling, and the quest to try out your skills shoulld be your driving force as compared to gaining maximum ROI. Observations have showm that those engaging in gambling for the sole purpose of getting rewarded consistently ends up frustrated in it, and most times being addicts.

It all depends on the objectives and how each person sees gambling.

For those who play just for fun, it is indeed wrong to spend a lot of time on games when it should be better used in other ways.

For someone who plays professionally, it is common and expected for that person to spend most of their time playing, just as anyone spends most of their life working.

Regarding expenses, it is also very relative between how much this person can risk... if money is not a problem then why not bet?

As everyone knows that the goal of betting is to get the largest amount of money? Nah nah nah, maybe for you, but not me, what do I work for to deserve the largest amount of money? That's a greedy expectation, as a responsible gambler, my goal is to make extra money, not the insane amount, and that's why I prefer risking very small amount on gambling.

This is not a business or a job, it's not a source of income, I am just trying my luck, come to think of it, gambling is giving you a chance that's very slim to win over, this is why this chance is attractive to people.

I will never use my hard earned money to buy a fantasy, it's why I don't do lottery tickets, and this is also why I choose to right only small money on gambling, it is what it is, gambling owes me nothing.

Do I got it right, the idea of this topic is to again compare investment of risk with risk while we gamble. I think we have this discussed numerous times already. Even though final goal is the same - lots of money, gambling allows to achieve that quicker. Also it gives a pinch of fun. I havent seen anyone who is entertained or excited while investing ;D Is it worth spending earned money in gambling or investing? Everyone makes his own decision what to do with his money. But you never know what juice taste if you dont try :D

I think the chances in gambling are smaller than that, the calculated chance of getting a win of up to 50% is too high and doesn't make sense. Because of the reality that occurs in gambling, the chance of losing is always greater than winning. And clearly this is not worth the investment of money. Even though both of them have the risk of experiencing losses, the risk of losing money in gambling is greater than investing money. When making an investment, we can always predict the profit or loss well, but not with gambling and betting because the final result is random, so it is quite difficult for us to be able to carry out an analysis correctly, unless it is just pure coincidence.

And I don't think we should compare both gambling and investment because the goals are different, gambling is done for fun, while investment is done to generate long-term profits or be used as savings for the future.

You’ve got it wrong. The investment subject on this topic is the time and money invest when gambling. The OP is just asking whether the time and money put(invested) on gambling is really worth it since we all know that the common end result is just a loss.

This kind of question is definitely from user that doesn’t understand properly the concept of gambling since they are putting a time and money that should be on other things that is more significant. Gambling should be done during free time and using free money.

It is worth trying in my opinion but of course only with capital that you can afford to lose.I think it is worth with such money as if you lose you won't harm yourself that much while if you happen to win big then it is a great feeling.Personally I felt this feeling early January of this year when with 0.10 bet I won 1339 dollars in Return of the Green Knight slot,so yes for me as long as you don't use money you can't afford to lose is worth the time and effort.

Gambling is for fun and you do it at your leisure so a reasonable person can't spend so much time on gambling and discard other activities or means that earns them a living so whether you win or lose it shouldn't be a prerequisite that you will invest all your time and money all the time, you can be playing gambling and still involve your self in other means of livelihood so that you don't get emotionally attached to it.

True, gambling is for fun is the right mindset that will be able to keep you safe and comfortable in the long run, on the other hand I'm not saying that you won't lose in a gambling session because obviously gambling is an activity that always involves the possibility of risk, But one of the reasons why gambling is more recommended to be treated as entertainment is because when you address and treat gambling as entertainment then you will not be too excessive in treating gambling activities, and as you said here that they will only gamble when they have free time along with having some money that they can afford to lose.

However this is a healthy approach that is recommended because with this, you will not lose balance in terms of dividing the focus on each activity that you have in life, because a healthy approach is when you are able to make everything work in balance but overall of course it is better to focus on other more important things in life such as prioritizing yourself to focus more on your main job that has a guarantee to produce, and just make gambling only a paid activity that can relieve your boredom when in your spare time.

Gambling is very much unpredictable,  you can tell when to win . It is important for gambling with amount you can afford to lose, I know even if you play with a small amount of money,  it is not a guarantee to win. But it is still better when you play with amount you can afford to , I think with this it will affect you mentally like when you invest with what you can't afford then lose. Gambling is very risky no matter the amount which you play with. What has been killing much in gambling is when they play with amount that they can't afford to lose, it makes them to do things that are unexpected. The benefits of gambling are not always common, it happens as a result of luck.

In Online gambling I don't think that Weight of the bet will not count because I believe that
the system adds weight in each high bets because in my own experience ? the more I bet smaller is the more chance I won.


it is more of the fun and excitement side than winning mate, I believe that when you are in gambling?
it is not about 50/50 chances mate but I believe 30/70 chance win/loss.

In gambling, someone must of course be able to play bets according to their abilities, because no one can know for sure the winnings of the bets they play and it is true that when we bet with the capital we have, of course this will not be a problem for us. and choose to bet with large capital and if we lose of course this will be a problem for us and if we win of course we will be able to get a big win, but very few people can win their bets with the last capital they have, so it is important for us To be able to minimize the risk of loss by betting with capital that we can afford if we lose.

What you say is correct and of course this is not only based on experience but the various experiences of most gamblers, of course the same, where in betting with large amounts, the chance of winning can be quite difficult to get, especially when increase it, good opportunities are really invisible.
Everything will be different when betting only relatively small amount, all of us when betting small amount the winnings will be very easy to get but at certain time there will be some kind of ambition and desire to increase it.
And this is the real mistake where we are too ambitious so we dare to take bigger risks and in the end we experience failure that does not match expectations.

But basically the main goal is win and the odds will always vary depending on how we bet and where we risk our money, taking risks is natural thing in gambling but we have to have lot of consideration for all of this.
Although most betting odds are 30/70 as you have said.

The OP seems to me to be another one of those who writes in this section but either doesn't bet or doesn't know what it's all about. Let's see:


No, the goals are very varied. The goals of good gambling would be to entertain yourself and, if anything, occasionally walk away with more money than you came in with. But if you bet on low-risk, low-return games, such as red or black roulette, your goal is not to win the most money.


If you bet all your capital, you're doing it wrong, you're doing it badly. It is also contradictory what you say because if you spend your time betting and it is from your other tasks you are supposed to have enough capital to continue betting. But having little capital, betting to win the maximum and spending your time betting in such a way that you neglect other obligations is impossible.


What I think is that at first when I saw your post I had made sense of it but when I analysed it I see that it is rubbish that you have written and that it deserves a neutral tag.

Number 1 - There are no benefits of gambling. It is a mode of entertainment and not a mode of making money.
Number 2 - You dont invest in gambling. You wager your money, put it to the risk and thus attempt to make money off it. You could invest in the casino's bankroll but that is a different thing altogether.
Number 3 - Chances are always 50-50 making it a dumb decision to continue playing on an on. Hence gambling should be limited to a fun game and not a serious money making scheme.

I must say, 50/50 odds of beating the system are a myth. What matters is understanding the odds, which are never in your favor, not being a high roller or playing it safe. Casinos and sportsbooks make money, not give it away. They use their house edge.

Putting your money and attention into gambling expecting a win is a definite way to lose. When you realize your sacrifices outweigh a quick win, resentment grows. People who invest in themselves, their families, and their careers triumph. This is how you succeed in life. Betting? Hope is taxed. Be smart, think big, and make judgments that will make you rich.

My goal of betting is not to get the largest amount of money, I am gambling to have some great time and maybe make some extra money if I am lucky, I don't always believe that I will end up making money, this is the first wrong step to take as a gambler.

There is no point in believing in something that's based on luck, because your belief will be shattered almost all the time, what will happen is not in your power so don't chase money when gambling.

Hope for luck and stick to what you can afford to lose, there is no point in gambling if you can't gain fun out of what you are spending your penny on, even gamers that spend hundreds of dollars on skins and special weapons are having great times.

Right. Gambling might promise big wins but it's a risky game. Whether you bet big or small, the odds are the same and you could end up losing a lot like your cash, time even your job. Makes sense right if it is really worth it to put your money and time into something where you've only got a 50/50 shot? It's a gamble in more ways than one. It's smarter to think about how else you could use that time and money, where the odds might be better and the risks not so high

If you have the goals of betting, you must knows about the risks. But if your goals of betting is for having fun, you only needs to prevents yourself become tempting from the gambling games. You will not let you spends too much money for playing gambling because you only have short spare time that you want to fills by playing gambling. You don't chase the winning but only wants to have fun without thinking about the wins. The benefits in gambling will depends on what every people thinks because for people who wants to playing gambling for having fun, they will not thinks about the money because they already set some amount that they can afford to gamble. They will not used more than they can afford because they don't have the important goal in gambling.

There are probably people who treat betting as entertainment, and not as a way to make money. After all, most often the casino or bookmaker remains in the black, otherwise there is no point in doing this, and the people who determine the odds are far from fools and analyze events very well and insure their risks.
As for using all your capital, this is initially not the best idea, because even if you manage to win once or twice, then you will want to repeat the success and most likely sooner or later it will end

It's not only the 50/50 chance that gamblers are looking for, the experience and the enjoyment are the big factor why people gamble, of course, the idea of doubling your money in an instant is already given as the main attraction why you gamble so people think its worth to take a chance.
People gamble for money and for entertainment it's inherent for us to take a chance for additional rewards.

that is also the reason why I gamble knowing that I am always losing and yeah just
believing if I won will be Bonus or a luck to give me chance standing with still have money
in my pocket but the problem is that very few chance that I go home with this.

Depending on the income, if we make a large amount of money then it is worth the time and capital we spend, but if we don't get anything and only experience losses then it is just a waste. But this goes back to each gambler because gambling is actually just for fun so don't expect to get more money because gambling is full of "risks" of loss. We also need entertainment and sometimes gambling can be used as a means of that if we can afford it use it well without thinking about the losses we experience because we only use a small portion.

If you do really just that treat up gambling as some sort of leisure or past time then you wont really be thinking up these things on which you wouldnt really be having any issues when you are really that dealing with it since you do know that these things cant really be affecting you out whether on your time and with your finances. Gambling could really be just that only a thing that could devastate something if on the time that you would really be making yourself that irresponsible on which you cant really be able to control your emotions and your thinking or simply you do become that delusional.
Gambling is for fun and not for making money and it would really be just that normal approach that you would really be needing up to have this kind of treatment that it should really be
just that for fun and not for making income.

Too often, people think about gambling in black-and-white terms - either it's totally bad and you should avoid it at all costs, or it's a way to get rich quick. However, your viewpoint is much more specific; it's good to know you regard gambling as something that may be delightful and exciting as long as it is done in moderation with the rest of your life. And I believe that's essential because addiction can be such a slippery slope. When people become overly committed in one matter, it can take over their lives.

I think however you will never be able to really get commensurate results for what you have spent and sacrificed such as your money and time, we must understand that gambling is a probability activity that has absolutely no certainty to really be able to produce, it's always about the possibility of winning or losing which means you can never push yourself in any way to really be able to always produce because all of that will only happen suddenly or by chance, especially for the problem of winning.

So the idea of worth it I think can never be achieved, and we can see that most people experience significant problems and adverse effects, especially in terms of mental, psychological or even destruction of relationships with other people, especially family members due to financial problems that are so bad because of gambling based on the wrong mindset and understanding that leads them to unwanted results, And as you said that overall gambling is only recommended to be used as a place of entertainment because of the possibility of risks that continue to lurk and can occur at any time without you knowing, and this is the reason that you can never get results commensurate with what you have spent and sacrificed unless you are a dealer who owns his own casino.

Gambling is a game of luck and quite risky (as you've said). But it's not an investment, so it's not the right term when you're spending your money in gambling. If that's your mindset (treating it as a kind of investment for spending your money) you're putting your funds at risk just because you're hoping to gain for playing. Although that's possible of course but the chances are low due to house edge.

Therefore, it's only worth it to risk your money if your main desire is not really to gain but more on to entertain yourself. Thus be aware of the consequences before playing.

There is no easy way to wealth so even though gambling seems risky, the gains is worth the risk. Imagine what you need to do to get 200% profit in the real world of business, this will practically take you several years to achieve. But gambling offers you that and more in a single bet. Anything that offers such opportunity of making big money at once will surely come with some level of risk as well. This risk in gambling is worth taking, I am fine with it because the reward is beyond imagination. People are taking advantage of the opportunities gambling offers with a lot of them making progress. There is actually many evidence to show this and it will not be far from why there are many gambling companies in existence today.

Does "Do the juice worth the squeeze?" capture the gamble? Gambling as a 50/50 chance simplifies a complex subject. You must recognize the game's bias against you. House always wins, right?

Investing time and money for what? Small likelihood of winning? Gambling relies on hope that you can beat the odds. The real price? In addition to money and time, your peace of mind, work, and daily tasks are sacrificed

Speaking of the "largest amount of money" goal, let's address it. Why? To fill vacant space? For argument? A mirage, friend. Grinding, learning, and creating create lasting wealth, not gambling. Consider whether losing everything is worth the fleeting thrill of winning? What are you after?

First of all, gambling is not about winning but having fun from your activities and while you play the games, because if you build your mentality that you need to win every time, it means you can possibly go into borrowing to bet with which will definitely lead you to more loses, on the other have you have to make every possible attempts and efforts to desist from taking gambling as a means to make quick money because of you have such mentality, you may be forced to take some action that may be way out of your own control.

Gambling is far from rewarding chasing,  we need to tell ourselves the truth all the time, because by the time you fail to build that pre acceptance in your heart, when the loses hit, I may become very worst to bear with, but if you just gamble for the fun, then you be OK.

Those are some critical points regarding the potential risks and adverse effects associated with gambling. The unpredictability often leads to disappointment, frustration, and financial losses, especially for those who approach gambling with the wrong mindset or unrealistic expectations. Problem gambling can have profound effects on mental and psychological health. The pursuit of wins and the avoidance of losses can create a cycle of compulsive behavior that jeopardizes overall well-being and quality of life.

Financial problems arising from gambling can strain relationships, particularly with family members and loved ones. The toll on familial bonds and social connections shows the far-reaching consequences of problem gambling beyond individual suffering. Approaching gambling solely as a source of profit often leads to disillusionment and disappointment. The inherent advantage of the house ensures that most players will experience net losses. Understanding this disparity in odds is crucial for maintaining realistic expectations and making informed decisions about gambling participation.

Yes the problem is that they put their hopes in a place that has absolutely no certainty whatsoever to be able to guarantee that they end up winning which in the end as you said that it is an action that will only lead them to disappointment which can sometimes be significant, and also things like that don't just happen once or twice, but they always end up disappointed and emotional every time they run a session, and sometimes what's even worse is that there are some gamblers who blame the casino agent for the losing streak they experience.

I have one friend who is a typical gambler like this where he is unable to accept the fact of losing and when he experiences 3 - 5x losing streaks he immediately claims that the casino he is playing at is a fraudulent site and spreads it to other gamblers he knows not to play on that site, on the other hand I just laugh at him and from that we can already conclude that this is a typical gambler who does not have the right understanding of how gambling works that indeed you will continue to lose if you are unlucky. It is a fact as we always hear that the winnings are actually only for the house because this is a business for the casino, this is why gambling should not be done excessively.

spend in gambling what we can afford to risk and lose because gambling is a money making machine of those gambling owners and believe me when i say that we are there to lose money and not to earn,

not just for entertaining but also to try our lucks , remember that gambling is a win or lose but of course more than losses lol.

Gambling is not an investment. it is a bet for fun. Regarding the results obtained, they can be good or bad depending on the luck of the gambler.
if you have good control and management of time and finances. then gambling will not be a big burden in your life. which means gambling may be a distracting activity. If you feel that, maybe there is something wrong with the gambling you are doing.

We are not gambling all because we want to make use of it's opportunity to make money because we are not going to achieve anything that important from this, gambling should be a means of fun and if paraventure we want to make use of an opportunity in making money, then we have to consider looking for job or we go into investments, we shouldn't take gambling too personal, it's a means of having fun.

I also see the casino and the game as that, because we are people who can have many ups and Downs in the casino and to be in the casino losing and Doing things to win whatever it takes, because in that desire to achieve things we will most likely have great Losses , those who have tried to see the game as a job or as an income, things do not turn out well for them because it is very difficult for things to work out in their favor, partially when I play I do it with my limited money , and it is only the best , because doing anything to earn sometimes things don't go well and you lose money.

Playing because it's fun, that's what you're looking for Because that's what it's for, I see that things in the casino are different, the casino has its own way of Winning , the best thing is that you don't lose so much money because you don't have to make something pretty out of it Either a Nightmare.

Gambling must not be treated as money making machine and in this why many
gamblers fell wrongly and instead of enjoying they kept asking for winner.

Financial problem must be faced regarding of our capacity to gain money and not
because we are winning in gambling because that is more on relying living in luck.

When it comes casual gambling with little to no luck, I don't think that it's ever going to be worth it no matter how you look at it but if we look at gambling as for fun and not for profit, definitely worth the squeeze if you ask me and I think that between those two, that will decide whether you should continue gambling or not. Maybe skills do matter some time thus making it worth the squeeze but if you look at how much you've spent on a grand scale, you'd probably have a different opinion in regards to the worth of the time and money you've spent winning that amount of money in gambling.

You shouldnt be betting or gambling if it not only takes money from you, but also creates problems for you at or with your work and other daily tasks.

And concerning time, you are supposed to be gambling at your leisure times, and just incase you don't know, leisure time simply means those times when you are completely free and have nothing else to do, you are refer to it as free time or resting time, at this time, we sometimes feel very bored and wish there was something to do to get us out of that boredom into happiness and excitements again, this is the time that gambling comes in mind for those who are interested in it, or already into it, this is also the time some people use for watching movies on their mobile phones or computer, or TV set, some use this time to play video games on their mobile, TV set or computer, some use this time to hang out with friends, and while like I said before, gamblers van also use this time to play their favorite games.
The essence or goal here is that, gambling should never take you out of what's important you are supposed to do, you are only supposed to gamble at only your free when it does not affect your work or other daily tasks, for when ever gambling starts coming between you and your work and other important daily tasks, check it, for it shows that you are already gambling too much, and this leads to gambling addiction.

Gambling is always very risky and i always think its win is 50/50. because i can't guarantee any result so i have to accept win and loss also. Gambling is like jumping into a crocodile-infested river.  If you are lucky you will be able to escape from there and if you are unlucky the crocodile will eat you and you will have nothing to do. So you have to jump here after thinking about it a few times.  Because once you get into the habit of jumping, you will want to go there again and again and you will not always be able to save yourself.

And, still, some people enjoy extreme sports (with or without crocodiles :D) and I think that it has a lot to do with the reason why people is willing to enjoy going 50/50, in the best case, because the hedge always unbalances the probability and benefits the house.

The gambling is merely harmless fun idea only works in theory.  Do people follow that often? Once free time feels empty, gambling becomes your go-to when you're not occupied. Boredom shouldn't make you risk everything; it tests your self-control
Movies, games, and hanging out are all good pastimes. Gambling sneaks in, appearing calm. It's meant to hook you, especially when you're bored or seeking for an escape. Gamble from 'hobby' to severe problem when it affects job and relationships

Second, gambling becomes a priority, you stop losing. You're risking everything. Seriously, what's the benefit? A little excitement? Worth the repercussions? Time to step back and assess the situation

Yeah, the moment gambling goes away from being activity we participate in in our leisure time for fun and excitement to becoming a do or die kind of thing, and gets to a stage where it begins to affect other tasks and activities in our real life, just as you already mentioned (work and relationships), then its definitely time to several steps back, access the situation, take a long break, allow our brains and body system to readjust back to its normal attitudes or behaviors again, then and only then, should we ever maybe consider gambling again, but this time, with a total consciousness of every action we take or decision we make as regards to gambling.

It's a pretty tiny line between enjoying doing something and getting addicted at it doing it, we can enjoy gambling, have all the fun, but without total consciousness of our decisions or actions, we might not even know when we slip into gambling addiction, for its one of those things that actually comes like a thieve in the night - unknowingly and unexpectedly.

So, for the time and money we spend on gambling to be worth it for us, it's of utmost important we do not allow ourselves get addicted to gambling, that is comes in-between us and other activities in our real lives.

Gambling is highly addictive and once you start on a particular games or betting style, you will be put under some unfavorable conditions that you will need an extra efforts to get yourself out of that conditions, some time most of the gambling addicts starts the habits of gambling just as fun and when greed set in they forget that gambling is an uncertain activities, which results Can't be predicted and for that it unrealistic to take gambling as means of gaining any benefits.


One should not invest a penny into gambling and as a matter of fact, gamble with an amount you ready to throw away, and never take gambling seriously aside just fun, if you want to invest you can buy some real assets like Bitcoin instead of risking it on gambling.

Gambling is never a game for us to gain but most probably it’s all about losses knowing the house has always an edge over its players. Hence, gambling in order to gain future profits is never certain, except for those highly lucky players who get to double or triple their capital in the end. But it’s seldom to see players bringing home the beacons and hitting jackpot prizes. Most of the time, they end up losing and empty pocket.

This is a reason why gambling is not worth of our time and money if you are seeing it as an investment, but if you are seeing it as part of entertainment, then you will always be profitable in gambling not in terms of money but in terms of joy and fun you’ve got from playing interesting gambling games.

It would be so difficult to break free from the cycle of ensnaring in a particular game or betting style. Most of people initially engage in gambling for entertainment or as a leisure activity, but greed and unrealistic expectations can quickly lead to detrimental consequences. It's unrealistic to view gambling as a reliable means of gaining benefits or income. People engaging in gambling need to set clear limits and boundaries to mitigate the risk of financial harm and addiction.

Investing in tangible assets like Bitcoin or other real assets can offer more stable and potentially profitable opportunities compared to the unpredictable nature of gambling. Focusing on more secure investment options and treating gambling solely as a recreational activity can safeguard their financial well-being and avoid the pitfalls associated with excessive gambling behavior.

I completely agree with that. People who think that they have a 50% chance of winning in gambling don't understand that it doesn't work that way in the long run, even if you have a 49% to 50% chance of winning a bet, it doesn't necessarily mean you will have the same chances when you keep gambling for a long time because the house edge will keep reducing that percentage and puts it in the favour of the house.

So, people who think they can get rich from gambling are just having the wrong mindset and they most probably don't have much knowledge about the technical side of gambling and how the odds are stacked against them for the long run. It's better for a gambler to stay moderate with it all the time.

the people who think they will get rich from gambling, those are the people who only rely on gambling as their source of income, they are the people who want easy money and don't work hard to have money, and finally, they are also the people fools quickly because they are quick to believe what other people say without fact checking and research.
And sad to say, many people have that mindset, they think that once they gamble they will get rich immediately because that's what they see in promotions and social media advertisements. It is much better that people are now more aware of the other causes and effects of gambling in a person's life, it is not just about winnings because there are more factors that need iconsider before we gamble.

What you say is very true, the person who want easy money generally do not like to work, but rather do nothing, watch TV, watch phones, make tik toks, many things like that and they want to live a life of luxury and benefits things, these types of people can really take advantage of a lot when they don't have supplies in a casino, and the truth is that if they have that luck they are very lucky, but just think about the day that luck runs out, what the lives of those people will be like. Do you no longer have enough money to cover those expenses? How will the reaction be? If they really are people who basically have a lot of things to fix, those who like easy money, at some point in their life they will realize that they have to change their way of earning income, and I don't know any other way that work, and work hard, if you want to have more money, then you have to work more, otherwise I don't know where else you can obtain constant and good income.

If you are risk taker then this is worth the squeeze but if you know the importance of money then never that you will take that 50/50 ratio and most of the time even higher than 20/80 .
Iwill not recommend everyone to stay in gambling if they don't have enough money to lose because this is mostly to lose and small percent to win.
that is the benefits of being extreme lover, so they can enjoy anything even losing money as long as they are happy in what they are doing.

Those people need to wake up, because even if can understand the appeal it may have to make a fortune while doing something that in essence is a game, at the same time I know this is nowhere near as easy as they expect it out to be, since if we were to read the experiences of those that actually tried that lifestyle and succeeded, you will soon realize that they treat gambling not as a source of entertainment but as just another job, with poker players playing for 14 hours or more each day, so even for the few that can make money this way, the amount of work they need to invest is massive.

And for anyone who is treating gambling as his major source of income will always be lacking behind because gambling takes money away from a gambler than it gives in money to the gamblers pocket, since we all understand that this is only means of having fun and being entertained, there have been so many who have wrongly interpreted what this gambling form of entertainment serves, instead they are taking it for something else.

Definitely not all understand that, otherwise there would be no gamblers betting a lot of money hoping to be profitable. Maybe for most of us we have no chance of wining in gambling but how about those gamblers who call them professional that are raking money from a sportsbook or a casino? There are skilled based game, so we can't generalize that gambling is really for fun only, otherwise, there's no risk on it as we already accepted we spend money when we gamble.

Most people go to casinos to make money. It can in the form of "trying it out for the first time" to "winning back yesterdays loss" and thus the vicious cycle continues from newbie gamblers to addicted veteran gamblers. The reason why people dont want to earn money is that the rest of the methods are energy consuming and need physical or mental work, which they are not willing to use, only to learn their folly in the long run.

So dont treat gambling as an income, you will lose and you will win, only to lose that money too. ;D

So, to answer your question directly, yes, the benefits can be worth it if you're gambling for enjoyment and you approach it as a form of entertainment rather than a guaranteed way to make money. It's all about balancing the fun with the risks and making sure it fits into your lifestyle without causing stress or financial strain.
