Gambling thus requires three elements to be present: consideration
 (an amount wagered), risk (chance), and a prize.

I noticed that people now don't actually know their main points of them gambling, some people gamble to earn daily and some people just gamble cause they saw their friends won in gambling. That's how they develop their gambling lifestyle and from their they get addicted to it. I've over heard people complaining about them losses, for me I think they don't know the main points of gambling. What do you think about this people losses much? Does it mean they don't know the main points of gambling?

Main points.of gambling and reasons for gambling are different..i think that people do not care about the main points of gambling because to them it is inconsequential. What matters is the reason for gambling which a lot of people do not know. Than that is why we have a lot of people spending money that they cannot afford to lose on gambling. They also go as far as loaning money to gamble and do a whole lot of other stupid s*** just for gambling because they do not know their why for gambling. This leads to an increasing number of gambling addict. People blame casinos and sports betting sites for this reason but it is obvious that a lot of people do not know why they are gambling or should be gambling.

The main point of gambling is having fun. If you are gambling for money, stop gambling because gambling will take from you than you will win from gambling.

As part of your point, I see only one to be valid which is consideration (an amount wagered). I call it gambling budget. 1 to 5% of weekly income. 1% of weekly income is the best.

I don’t even understand what are you trying to express on the points that you mention. People will still loses even if they understand the principle of gambling or not as long as they are still gambling. What important is they use it for entertainment purposes without using an important money dedicated to other matters.

House edge will always makes gambler lose plus poor bankroll management equals significant losses. However, all this losses will never be a big deal if all gamblers is a responsible gambler which is using only an amount that they can afford to lose.

Let me just say that while the elements you have mentioned may apply to some people, to others, there are different elements and reasons on why they gamble in the first place.

If I could add to the ones you have stated, you may also include:

• Entertainment value;
• Socialization;
• Adrenaline; and
• Competitiveness

The reason on why I included those four (4) elements is because not everyone who gambles aim to win the actual prize. Some gamblers gamble since they consider it as their source of entertainment and socialization (more on physical casinos). There are also some people who aim to feel that adrenaline whenever they wager huge amounts and the sense of relief knowing that they have won their bets.

Lastly, some people are just really competitive in nature to the point that they are willing to bet just to prove a point. A perfect example here would be Michael Jordan since he gambles primarily for the sprit of competitiveness to prove that he is the greatest inside and outside the basketball court.[/list]

People that see gambling as a means of income will always ignore the main point of gambling, and that is why they are running at great loss. This applies to cigarettes too, there is a warning that smokers are liable to die young, but still new people enter the smoking line daily.

It is another thing to know, and another to practice that you know into action, this is where it becomes difficult, and only the ones that understand that gambling is for fun, and uses little amount of money to gamble are the ones that are practicing the right way to gamble.

We are just humans and full of emotion, and it shows when we gamble; it's not that gamblers do not understand the point of gambling it's just that they are overwhelmed by their greed and emotions; many gamblers know and understand what should not be done in gambling but out of greed they break the rules and they follow their emotions and greed.

Addiction in gambling comes from too much attachment to gambling and the emotions and feelings plays a very important part of that.

This is why in the rehabilitation process, they do not feed addicted gamblers with logic and reasoning. Still, they feed the emotions of something that can substitute the yearning to gamble.

The main point of gambling is for fun.

If someone gamble for money and become an addict, blame the gambler, not the gambling. No one force to gamble, if someone don't get the fun while and after gambling, they can stop including completely avoid it.

It just dumb someone continue to gamble in order to earn while the reality they're in loss.

Possibly YES, because I think the majority of gamblers are those who aim to make a profit from gambling. Some people even think that gambling is like work where they can make sure money from gambling, but in reality it's not like that, because gambling is also a business that was developed to reap lots of profits from the many people who gamble. and with those who gamble excessively so that they experience big losses, in my opinion they don't think about gambling well, including not considering whether the action they are going to take is a big risk or not. However, with gambling that can give them an uncertain win, it makes them take actions that they don't think about.

In fact, when our friends win at gambling and then we follow carefully the steps that our friends do, the results will not be the same, most likely they will be different, because in my opinion winning at gambling is not based on strategy, but on luck. So even if we gamble by following the steps taken by our friends who can win at gambling, it will not guarantee that we can get the same win.

I don't think any mature individual wouldn't have a reason for gambling. Young adults might be influenced to gamble by friends but they become addicts for a reason. They might either be chasing money or having fun. I don't understand your explanation about people losing much in gambling. Losing much in gambling to me simply means gambling more than you can afford to lose.

People gamble for mainly two reasons, fun and money. If your aim is for fun, that's perfect because you will never be addicted. If it is for the combined purpose of fun and money, it's also nice. But if it is solely for money, you might chase losses or gamble more than you can afford to lose. I gamble for the fun and money but I follow my gambling budget strictly.  

There are only two types of gamblers that I know.

1. Those who want to make life changing money.

2. Those who are looking to make some money and have great fun while doing it.

I can say that making money is the smallest part of the reason why I am gambling, unlike many people, I just happen to like some casino games and I spend most of my time watching my favourite shows and movies but when I miss gambling I somehow always find my way back.

I can't even advice someone to gamble if they want to make money, that is a bog lie, gambling is not a source of income like many people thought, that is why they mostly end up learning the hard way.

If you want peace for yourself, dont even develop that emotional feeling of making big amount of money through gambling, if it is written that it will happen then maybe you will get lucky, but don't let this be your main reason why you are gambling.

You seem to not know it either, you're describing the elements of gambling or how gambling works, not the main point as the reason people gamble and in my opinion those are fun, boredom for myself and for others is also greed, desperate need, frustration and so on, mostly based on the dream of getting out of a situation with just luck and nothing else, the simple solution gamblers fell pray to.

Imo the important point is to manage the bankroll when this is exhausted then you should stop playing and come back after recovering, but in gambling losses are natural even the ratio of losses is greater than wins, while we consider gambling games to be luck so there is no certain victory.

I would consider the person wrong when gambling as their daily income because it is impossible for them to earn income from gambling there are continuous losses especially when you are full of emotions where you continue to increase bets if you lose to cover previous losses.

It is nothing but fun to play gambling with a high adrenaline sensation but behind that you must be able to be responsible or disciplined to be more directed in spending for the pleasure of gambling.

I think usually people lose more money in gambling because of their excessive greed. The 3 points you mentioned are wagered, risk and prize they don't realize these 3 points so they may incur extra losses. But we should discuss ways to solve problems rather than discussing problems. What steps do you think can be taken to help people better understand the basics of gambling, I mean the main points of gambling?

Gamblers don't know the basics of it all. what happens is that most gamblers lose control of it all. That's what results in more gamblers playing beyond the considerations and risks they can face.
If you have felt how you are a little closer to gambling addiction, maybe you will understand how a gambler consciously sets limits on their abilities but also consciously take risks to exceed these limits.
I'm not telling you to get addicted to gambling. but more gamblers are actually addicted but don't realize that they are actually on a dangerous line in gambling games.

Fun, experience, and the event itself is something that we can take away from gambling, the points you mentioned also important but still it go on the secondary in my priority list which makes me away from any bad consequences that follow when you are into gambling. If I were to add some more then how about knowing everything about the game that you are betting, for example if it's poker there are lot of ways that you can increase your chances of winning.

The three points the OP mentioned are: consideration (an amount wagered), risk (chance), and a prize. The first point is not wagared but consideration of the amount to wager.

Not to use gambling to look for money is the main thinking that can help against addiction. Use small amount of money for small budget. Be disciplined is another ones.

knowing the main points of gambling it's aslo a better understanding to people who haven't come across of it. What do you suggest for those who don't know the main points? Cause it'll be difficult for someone to make those people who doesn't know the main points of gambling to understand how gambling works.

I think most people know them but they overlook them,they take them for granted and the only thing they think about a point of gambling is how to get rich in a very fast amount of time,that is the main motivator nowadays and by having this factor as the main motivation they risk it big and many become addicted.If they thought about risk being presenr they would not play in the first place,they think they will bypass risks.

first you have to know this element before any necessary things

The main point of gambling is actually relative a d dependent on what you define your gambling with or whatever it is you aim to achieve gambling, just gambling because others are gambling or for a trivial reason could also be a reason too but making sure you are not wasting money is very much important but then gambling usually is intended for fun and leisure but sadly some persons have actually turned it into something else and at some point it has become detrimental to them and that's why they most likely get to loose their funds to gambling because they actually get to gamble with the wrong intent.

Gambling main point is relative as it's peculiar to each person's and individuals and that's why except for entertainment and leisure there's no other main point I think gambling actually got so it's basically relative and preferenced to individuals.

We all complain at some point; it's not that because you're complaining, you don't know about the main point of gambling; gambling is taking a risk in the hope of gaining more; that's what gambling means to me. It's different when we talk about responsible gambling.

Responsible gambling is treating gambling for entertainment and using money that you can afford to lose; you don't expect all gamblers to act as responsible gamblers they eventually evolve into one if they see that the only way to continue to gamble without losing a lot.

I don’t know if the amount one has lost to gambling can tell us if they know the main point of gambling is or not. But for me I feel anyone who after gambling starts complaining about the amount they have lost during that session, don’t know the main point of gambling because they just gambled with an amount that they can’t afford to lose but if they are to lose it and not feel a thing then it would be okay.

Going with the OP's perspective, most people who begin gambling have the prize on their mindset but they forget the risk or chance and the amount wagered.

Because the risk needs to be understood properly before initiation of the game, most youngsters who start out dont spend time on that because it is all math stuff and just follow the impulse. With that they are not only harming their income but also setting up a harmful life ahead if they dont realize it early.

Still the main reason to gamble should be for having fun and not for making money.

I agree with you that the most important point that needs to be understood is the reason why gambling, it is the main thing in gambling before we talk about risk, money, prizes and others, we need a reason to gamble.

And if you look at it here everyone has their own interests why they visit the casino or gamble, and that's where we will talk about what the OP said, I often see people who are described in your case, they are generally fomo of other people's victories from the casino that make them interested in gambling without exploring why they gamble and why should be in gambling to do that activity, a person will lose his mind and do not know himself when he does not understand why they do it.

Whether we play gambling just for fun or not the main reason is just to win to make some money, if gambling is not all about to make money I don't think people will just play and not expecting anything in return.  The reason for playing is to win to make money but some people misunderstand gambling.  Even if playing is all about to win money it doesn't mean we need to play too much to make money by all means. Their should be understanding to know that gambling is risky and chasing the wins by all means can lead one into serious problems.  Let it just be for fun and to play with amount that you can afford to lose.

Considering all this is actually necessary at the moment , the valid point I can relate when gambling; the amount used and how comfortable a gambler feel gambling with such amount. Gambling for gain is normal but, not so excess as most people view that’s why people choose gambling for fun because you don’t get lucky always and you have to accept the end result, like preparing your mind ahead so you don’t get angry wanting more for a lucky win. I read a thread about gamblers gambling more when angry, all this might stand as a challenge and it’s not advisable staking your money over and over again just for a win, after considering all this it’s better a gambler stake what they can afford to lose.

So if I may ask, what's the difference between "Amount wagered" and "Prize", because looking at these two factors, I think they are the same, and as such, what I think are the three elements for gambling to take place are first, an "individual", a "Platform" and an "Amount" (i.e prize to be wagered). While anything apart from that are secondary factors, such as odds, kind of game and e.t.c

There have always been two main points why people gamble, one, for money and secondly for fun, anything apart from that are secondary reasons. Because, if a person saw that his friends gambled and won, and next time decided to follow gamble, it still also means he went there for the money, and nothing else.

Gambling is all about putting a bet, taking a chance, and hoping to win, it depends on who's looking to define what gambling is, for those who only think of money, the point of gambling is just taking a chance, for casinos, its entertainment they want you to look their platforms as a platform of entertainment and for humanitarian the point of gambling is to gamble responsibly.
Each one of us has our own definition and points about gambling, but in its real meaning, it's all about taking a chance.

The main point of gambling could differ from different people but what everyone knows and foresee in the point of gambling is that it is a game meant to make you profitable. Any other points asides this cannot be a valid point why some people gamble. Those that are always complaining about their losses is because they’ve made up their mind to only come into gambling to win and if theirs no win, they should be no point of them continuing gambling. Let everyone see gambling as what they feel it is and not to be blamed on what they settle on about gambling.

There are a lot of reasons why people gamble; some of us have the same reason or not. Some gamble just to have fun; they just want entertainment. Gambling offers excitement, thrills, and interaction with other people. Whether it's playing cards at home or visiting a casino, entertainment is a big factor in why people gamble. Some hopes to win money, it is a strong motivator why people gamble, even though the odds are against the gamblers, the chance to gain money is really attractive. Also, just like what I've said, when we are gambling, we are socializing with others. This can be another reason why people gamble; it provides an opportunity to socialize and connect with others.
 
Even though we have our own reasons why we are gambling, as long as we practice responsible gambling, like setting limits on time and money spent, then gambling can still be a safe and enjoyable pastime.

Not all of them have the same kind of understanding we all have about gambling, some are taking it for making money while some are just busy going after the way other people behave in gambling as same and being applicable in their own case, such could be found with reckless gambling and others who gambles irresponsibly, but for someone who truly understands what is required of him being a gambling, he will do things moderately while gambling and will not loose focus for any reason.

LOL, I also don't understand the point here, but I agree no matter how much they know or do in gambling the chance to lose is still there.
And for those who lose too much on gambling, they are the ones who couldn't control their self, they don't know when to quit or stop.
We all have different reason why we gamble and I think most of us doesn't really care much about the point of gambling, as long as we are getting what we came for,(entertainment, fun, socializing, or profit) I think this are the main reason why we gamble.

Main point as in what ? The motive ?

Most people gamble either to earn money or to have fun. There won't be any other motive apart from this I think.
I don't think motive has to do anything with the addiction because addiction happens only when they over gamble regularly.

Gamble like life - know what you're doing. Many individuals perceive a big win and leap in blindly, which is losing. Gamblers who study the game are the best. Building a firm involves risks, rewards, and probabilities. A blinded entry wont work. Losers face more than just underestimated odds. About self-awareness. Best players and businesses recognize their boundaries. Learn your mental and financial limits and set goals. Its about knowing oneself. Avoiding addiction requires that.

Gambling must be smarter than luck. Calculation, control, and understanding when to step away are key. The real satisfaction comes from playing the long game wisely, not chasing highs. Building that mindset helps players and improves gambling for everyone.

Gambling should be treated as entertainment. As a way to have an interesting and fun time, to get intense emotions for someone. I think that’s where everyone starts, but then many stop enjoying gambling. People then begin to think that they can start earning money from this on a regular basis, and many of them subsequently begin to experience problems with gambling and, accordingly, money. Problems come when the main rule is not followed - use only the money that you can afford to lose forever. For example, a person can go have a beer with friends and play billiards, or use the same money to place a bet instead of meeting with friends. When a person starts spending money that is important to his life, problems come.
The answer to your question is short - gambling is for entertainment, not for making money.

The OP just gave his own opinion of why he thinks people gamble, well every individual have their own reason for gambling, some for fun, some for entertainment, some for the price there are some who see it as an opportunity to make a fortune but in whatever way any individual see it as, we should agree  with the fact that winning is not guarantee and no matter you point of view you're taking a risk to stand a chance of earning a price.

 Yeah too much of gambling leads to addiction no matter you point of view, whether for entertainment or whatsoever once you always spend time gambling your chances of becoming an addicted gambler becomes higher that's why on no account should any individual gamble on a regular even the owners of the Casino's and betting sites do advice individuals to gamble responsibly.

Gambling is now part of my addiction at work and when i don't have money i borrow money from my friends and bet. But i have seen that almost most people gamble to make money so it should not be considered as a pursuit. When you get too addicted to something the amount of damage won't shock you. There are many people who lose bets again and again because they want to win. So those who are establishing themselves in gambling always have a risk taking attitude.

Correct. Those who come to gamble have these two motives and I don't think there is anything else. Addiction to anything does not happen in a day or two and gambling addiction takes time, when a gambler gambles excessively and becomes so addicted to it that he becomes addicted to gambling. A relative of mine is losing gambling and now he is addicted to gambling to get back the lost money, but he is still losing. So those who prioritize earning more in gambling, are the ones who become addicted to gambling at some point.

You have also missed one element to  add that is the enjoyment of the gambling.
And I want to also say that you might be wrong because you are judging all the people who played gambling by  those people whom you see. And I think it's totally illogical. The main goal i.e. point of gambling is entertainment and those peoples who have others goals and reasons behind playing gambling for those all will face difficulties in their gambling and also in real life. So yes the peoples habhits you mentioned in your post those have the bad habhit and that is why they will also loss more than one general gamblers like who set a strategy to playing gambling like limiting the loss and profits amount.

There will be wins and losses in gambling but is it possible if gamblers only think about winning? Never possible. Losing is never a concern for me. But a growing trend among gamblers is winning. They become so eager to win fast in gambling that they make some common mistakes. They consider gambling as a source of income rather than as fun. Even they are becoming dependent on it for regular income. Such behavior of gamblers certainly increases their risk of losing. If you can stay away from gambling addiction and control your excessive cravings, I think there will be no more problems. It would be a big mistake for a gambler to plan gambling based on the other's winnings. In gambling Not everyone is lucky and not everyone wins.

lol or how about some people just gamble for fun? I really wonder if the majority of people who participate in this board really are the gambling degenerates that it seems many are made out to be.  Why does everything spoken about on this website have to do with "making profits".  There's more to bitcoin as well as gambling than "making profits". 

The main point of gambling should be to have fun.

I also think that many people don’t understand that it is possible to somehow systematize what we do in gambling. For example, many people don’t think about what potential profits are and the losses that can be tolerated in order to win. In fact, many of my understandings came from years of playing poker. I began to understand how my opponent thinks, what the pot odds are, what limits I need, how the poker room and casino make money, and many other things. I think if a player only plays slots or roulette, then he will probably never think about such things. Although now YouTube is full of various videos on this topic and you can learn a lot if the player only has the desire.

I simplify all gambling to just rules and prizes. It includes the initial capital, how the betting games work, and the prize structure behind it.

Most of us easily know about it, but each person will have a different mode of exposure. For example, for those who play just for entertainment purposes without paying too much attention to the results, they will consider the cost of gambling activities as the amount of money they spend, for players looking for money opportunities, it is experience as well as also requires careful research. We can see some cases of luck occurring but it is usually very small and seems like the probability is low, but in the gambling space, the reality as I understand it is that the calculated probabilities are not efficient much and victory always belongs to the "owner"

They do but the problem with people gambling is that all their focus is on profit and they don't consider their loses so when that begin to happen to them, they will start to complain , especially the newbie gamblers. Life is a lesson likewise you have to learn with the experiences of gambling to fortify yourself. So it is not that people lose much but they gamble irresponsibly and expect magic to happen. For example, I know of more people who have won from single bet or fewer bets game than those who have won through multiple bet and that could mean the chances of winning with fewer games is greater than multiple bet but some people prefer to take the risk of jackpot with multiple betting and when they don't get that after a while, they will start getting restive and complaining.

It's a fact we need to accept, in the process of gambling for fun I also don't want to lose my money despite it would not have any negative impact on my chances of survival. We say we gamble for fun but each time we lose money we all feel the pressure and be/feel in an unsatisfactory situation, it is common. The rules on gambling should be to gamble responsible and avoid chasing loses while gambling because either doing it for fun or not, the final process ends in making profits.

No. This doesn't mean that people don't know the main points of gambling. They know you risk something for the chance to gain more.  But understanding the basics don't mean you grasp the appeal or downsides.  For some, it's harmless fun.  For others, ruinous addiction. 

Sure most folks understand the core idea - put something on the line and hope luck favors you.  but that surface comprehension skips why it entices some personalities and destroys others.  Some can dabble and walk away.  Others crave one more try, then another, despite the losses piling up.  Self-control ain't a given.  And addiction makes you play a whole different game.

Well you are right and I support you as well, most people who gamble don't really know what it takes to gamble or the points why they are gambling, because if they really know, I don't think they will be losses much like they way they are doing, so I think before people gamble, they should bear it in mind that gambling it's all about risks and it's also required self control, for someone not to get addicted, because if someone becomes an addict, it's always difficult for the person to stop gambling so in order to avoid that, they should gamble responsible and not to gamble in order to become rich through it or because it favour or u see your friends winning from it, let's know that all fingers are not equal, what benefit others might not benefit us, so let's be careful.

 with your own four elements I think they're at points, cause with this you can eventually know the major activities of gambling. I won't say 100% people are gambling for entertainment or neither socialization, what i notice now 50% at of 100% are gambling to earn money some people will say it's cause of the economy in their country.

But it's not, I don't think it's because of the economic situation that makes someone to gamble for him/she to earn money. For me their reasons should be something else not the economy. Thanks for your opinion.

(Maybe I did not get the quoting right but please ignore )

Previously I have often said on several other pages that one of the reasons why someone experiences bad effects in gambling such as experiencing many problems whether it is getting into debt or experiencing destruction in their family relationships due to a weakening economy, all of that begins because they misunderstand or do not know about how gambling really is, they do not know the main points that should be more concerned about such as the consequences of possible risks that can occur at any time which can eliminate their money in a short time.

I see most gamblers, especially those newbies who just came, they see gambling only from one side, namely in terms of opportunities to win but they don't think about what if they lose, because after all, the name of defeat will always be a part that can never be separated in gambling. Gambling is always about the chances of winning and the possibility of losing but the mistake of most gamblers is that they only see in terms of opportunities to "multiply" their money but do not pay attention that they can also lose money. Because on the other hand I am sure that if you know about the concept of gambling then you will not dare to act recklessly such as risking large sums or planning a lot of time to engage in gambling or whatever it is that leads to excessive action, and the point is that someone who knows about how gambling is actually they will definitely be more concerned with risk management than pursuing something that has no certainty and guarantee of winning.

Well I have not believed that gambling is for fun or that people gamble for fun. If it is for such purpose then losers won't get bothered about why they are losing money more than they are profiting. So it is a purpose for profit that gamblers are rushing into gambling and not because they desire to lose. They desire to win not losing so it is not for fun that most gamblers go for it. The point is most are only focused on gambling it as source of income and so when they don't win, they will start the regretting phenomenon in gambling.

one of the main point of gambling, gamble for fun which is the major point that is keeping many gamblers to remain in gambling till now because they are not addicted to gambling because they didn't take it as an investment.

Approving a budget in your gambling is another point you must embrace before going into gambling, because it will help you not to gamble above your money you budget for the gambling, and that is what some people don't want to achieve before going to gambling.

They don't have the main points of gambling, which is the reason they follow some gamblers lifestyle to start gambling, which is the easiest way to be addicted to gambling because you didn't carry out your research to know the main points of gambling.

Knowing the points of gambling will not make certain than you win every time you bet, it has no real relationship with ensuring success when you gamble. For example, if someone agrees to the point that they are gambling for money, or for fun, and then go on to play a skill based game, they still will not win if their skill in that game is not enough. Asides the point of gambling, also know the kind of game you are playing, if it is a skill based game or a luck based game.

There are no other main points of gambling and the majority of us are just into two things about it and they are;

• Making a profit
• Having fun

Most gamblers would say that they are in it to have fun and not to make profit so that they don't compromise their feelings and to see that they're still doing great. However, the real reason why the majority of us are gambling are for the profit. No gambler wants to gamble to take a lot of losses, right? And that does makes sense to verify that if not all of us but the majority are clearly gambling to make some money.

Most of the addicted gamblers are those who chase after the money. It is those who want to by any means possible raise money from their gambling to solve their problems or use it as a side hustle. They end up in a financial and mental wreckage when the truth and reality of what it is begins to unfold.
I once gambled to cope with the a very difficult life challenge. At that time I felt all alone and I must admit that when I look back now I could have probable chosen other alternatives but I didn't. I chose gambling. It wasn't for fun or for the money, it was just a way to deal with my situation and it was the most convenient alternative at that time. The other alternatives required that I leave my living space and meet other people, I didn't want to do that so I chose gambling.

Every gambler have their own point of view about gambling, and we can't force them to think the same way especially if they believe that gambling is a good source of income, sooner or later they will realize the real purpose of gambling and that can somehow a wake up call for them. Personally, i see gambling as for entertainment purposes, and if got lucky I might be able to bring home some good profit and that could satisfy more my desire to win in gambling.

Do any of us still think about what the main points of gambling are? it's like it's gone now most of the time if you ask the participants what is the reason why they gamble, the only answer they will give you is to earn money or to have fun with friends, that's how the reasoning of the participants revolves gamblers and even the beginners, they focus more on the thought that "I will make a lot of money in gambling"

Yes, they don't know or don't absorb what gambling is about. They are blind by their own beliefs and misconceptions of gambling, maybe because they are still newbies without experience, or maybe because they are too stubborn and foolish to understand they can't turn gambling into a stable source of income or a regular job. And if they insist following this path, they are only going to make their lives worse and worse, without achieving prosperity and conquests along the years.

Everyone here has probably already seen during their lifetime people who kept insisting on the same behavior patterns and addictions, and as consequence they didn't reach anywhere, rather they remained on the same precarious life conditions for decades. For someone who is outside this reality it's hard to understand why some people act like that, but it does happen more often than it should...

Those who engage in gambling simply because they are swayed by their friends' winning streak might as well be missing the point of gambling altogether. It is easy for them to be lured into trying their luck just because they see others prospering, without the due consideration of responsible gambling risks and stakes.

Huge losses in gambling often stem from ignorance or obliviousness to the basics of gambling, like knowing the risk at stake or even just understanding that winning is not guaranteed. For some, it could be lack of education on responsible gambling while others may lack awareness on the impact of excessive gambling behavior.

Responsible gambling is something that should be considered. Similarly, gambling should not be the sole avenue for income or entertainment. When individuals are well aware of the risks and at par with what rewards can realistically be expected, they can avoid massive losses while also sidestepping addiction. This is important: to promote an informed approach to responsible gambling that recognizes it as a choice rather than a necessity.

Not that they don't know the point of gambling but the fact still remains that gambling doesn't guarantee you sure wining all the time. If you are an expirenced gambler, you will know that gambling is a game of luck. It is not possible for many people to gamble hoping to earn Daily. And another impression I will like to correct, is that there is not every body that can tell accurately the purpose of gambling in respect to your explanation.

The aim of gambling is to realize the responsibilities involved in the game. Players can follow any principle that suits their understanding of the game. But the responsibilities will definitely hit them according to their gambling technique. Gamblers who in doubt of responsible gaming make unforgettable mistakes which ruins their financial life. Such people may as well complain for losing gambling steadily. Because they never had a plan before hand when venturing into gambling. However, it's quite confusing why these people after every session raise questions to themselves regarding why they profusely lost more money.

Does it mean they don't recall wagering the funds? Were they not informed about the gambling losses that surfaces in all gaming session? It's a strong mistake needed to be resolved immediately a player decides to gamble. Being in control and conscious of the outcomes of the game. The big wins confuses some players never to remember the need to stay responsible and careful. That's the reason the end, results to pains and regret. Their consciousness gets deceived in the game and returns to normal after the multiple losses. Within those few minutes, the player think of his mistakes and tries again well prepared not to make similar errors. Yet, the mistakes continuously happen, thereby risking the happiness of the gambler.

Sorry to say what else do you think people goes Into gambling to do?
I still make it clear to us that people who are gambling are not just gambling to pleasure or entertainment purpose there are lot percentage of people who are gambling for money purpose, like trying to put head in gambling to see if their luck could shine in that area but it turns the other way round. Which is, many of them become addicted instead of backing off from it they decided to continue to see if they could change their story, and sincerely we don't always accept this side of our statement because many people has seen it and stick it in their hearts that we are gambling for pleasure as if when winning is removed they would continue to bring out money to gamble, like just dashing away the gambling site money to for no reason. So at the cause of gambling those points you narrated out can be put in consideration to know how to channel their efforts.

The major reason why players are into this activity is because they are hoping for a chance to gain profit from their bets. I guess, that's nothing new anymore. Now, for the purpose of fun and entertainment - this is true for most occasional gamblers like those people who happen to visit a land-based casino during their travels or those who want to pass their time with friends or family. So the main reason why people are into this game is no surprise anymore. They are here mainly to get some winnings.

So before you plunge yourself into this activity better learn why you are going into this addictive games? Know your desires and your financial capability. If you think you are compromising your financials, better not to go in.

Interesting, but in fact you also have to know that everyone who likes to gamble has their own ideas regarding their bets. there are many reasons for someone to gamble, and it doesn't necessarily require three elements as you say. I mean, not a few of us gamble when they just want to. in other words, betting is just for fun and they don't do it all the time or every day. there are also those who budget a certain percentage of the funds they have prepared without having to focus on winning. well, I want to make an analogy for this post. so you see, most of the gamblers do not have the understanding or consideration that you said as an example. In general, someone gambles to get rewards from the games played or bets on other bets. Well, let's ask ourselves which gambler doesn't want to win on his bet. Generally, 99% of all those who gamble want to win.

The problem is, we cannot generalize as a whole for every gambler. So, not everyone has a concept or method for betting. Even if someone has an idea, or even a regulatory strategy that they apply, it is not always consistent when betting. there are many factors, the most common is when the emotion of anger dominates. Now let's get straight to the point, how can there be so many addicted gamblers? The answer is, there are many gamblers who do not have experience, understanding and insight. in addition, a lack of self-control regarding his gambling. and most commonly, many gamblers do not reflect and learn from their gambling experiences.

This is already the first signal that you need to take a break and get distracted for a long period and master some hobby. If you understand that you are addicted and are already starting to give away money because you don’t have enough of your own, this is bad and will only lead to worse consequences in the future.If gambling only brings losses and debts, this is the beginning of a big problem.

There are some of us who say that the core point of gambling is a pleasure that we can get from gambling, there are also those who say that the core point is loss, spending money, wasting time, pitting fate, looking for luck and so on, views like this cannot be averaged into one absolute perception, because everyone has their own purpose in gambling, for example, I personally gamble to find pleasure and look for luck that I can show off to my friends and or more fun when watching soccer while gambling, it is a very exciting tension.

It's just that someone doesn't understand how to find the core point of gambling, I think it's the same as what you need from gambling, I'm pretty sure it will answer the question.

Exactly, and if this keeps up then itnwill worsen things, as the gambler will be desperate to earn money because they already in debts and financial crisis they will still hope that someday they will hit a big win in gambling which is I notice that is common to the mindsets of those addicted gamblers, its not that they are addicted to gambling just because they want to waste money or what, some are considered addicted just because they keep on gambling despite that they are in crisis, well that's the only way they could think of, if they will not think straight, those gambler should know how to assess the situation, those who could not do it means they have a weak mentality and mindset, a gambler should know when to stop and to fix first the problem before it become too big, just like a fire, a gambler should know when to out out the fire to prevent it to spread and ruin everything.

This is just the fact. A lot of gamblers truly understand what gambling is all about. Just just like you stated above, they put something on the line and just hope luck favours them. The problem lies with those gamblers who decide to ignore what gambling is all about and choose to hope excessively on luck from gambling.  They do not care about other sources of income or anything else to divert their attention from gambling, they just believe gambling is their only way out of poverty. These set of gamblers who think this way are irresponsible and they are the reason people tag all gamblers as Irresponsible people. Gambling is not supposed to cause anyone pain, but people will do things wrongly and still expect to get away with it.

You are only explaining the elements of gambling, you didn't tell us the point of gambling yet. Before you ask to people, what the point of gambling based on your understanding? This is needed to mention first, so it will be fair enough to everyone.

For me, there are 2 points of gambling. They are money and entertainment. People gamble must be caused by these matters, they want to earn money or they want to have fun. People who try to earn money regularly because they don't understand that it is impossible to always win in gambling. Meanwhile people who understand it, they will prefer to gamble for fun. The win or they prize will be the second purpose, not the main goal. Anyway, I don't think gambling is a part of lifestyle. Gambling is just a part of a common habit, and it ideally spends a little time only.

Main points of gambling for me is risk, losing, and winning, and entertainment. And with purposes then it is with profit,loss, and emotions.I doubt that all gamblers think in such way. Not all gamblrs are hoping to get out of poverty from gambling profit, sometimes it is just the idea of making their capital bigger by means of taking the risk. As long as amounts are under one's risk tolerance, then I see nothing bad at all. What makes a gambling experience worse is with how a gambler assumes and act in accordance to their will. The bigger the drive, the bigger its effect on you in particular with handling both winning and losing instances. I agree that gambling shouldn't be too much of a burden in the first place if people knows their risk appetite and if they will keep in mind tha losing the game is most likely to happen.

Yes, definitely for fun and excitement, and getting profitable in gambling will fall as a bonus. But I think beginner gamblers have misinterpreted this. Instead, they are motivated to engage in gambling because they want to win big amount, which is only seldom to happen, because obviously gambling ends up with a lot of losses. However, if you gamble irresponsibly, that’s your problem anymore. The point of gambling is just to have fun, but not to get addicted with it.

It is about expectations, I think.
If someone does not what to expect of their gambling sessions and allow the experience of others to influence on their view of gambling, then it would be just matter of time before those problems you mention start to appear, and let us be honest, most of people start gambling because the change of pocketing some money and because of the fact the advertisment of casinos and betting books is very effective when comes to drawing the attention of those who have never gambled before, but feel curious enough about it.
I believe the correct way to gamble would be to see it as entertainment and only wager occasionally in special occasions or betting in games who is very interested in, not to make gambling and betting something embedded into our daily life and routine.

I have seen people in this forum who claim to gamble once a day or once a week, that would be too often to me. To each their own I guess.

Actually, so many gamblers picked up  interest in gambling because they saw their friends doing it, and it's not bad to actually engage in any fun activities that your friends are into unless it's an illegal activity. What is most important in gambling is for an individual to be a responsible gambler who is able to manage their bankroll, who has self-control over their gambling life, and who also knows the rules of gambling, such as not taking a loan to gamble and gambling with the amount you can afford to borrow. Lastly, never handle gambling as a source of income.

The point is, gambling is for fun and not to be seen as a source of income. Although we can become lucky at the point of gambling by winning a huge or small amount, that does not imply we must see gambling as a source of income. 

Exactly, I agree with your opinion here that most gamblers, especially beginners, have misunderstood what winning in gambling means, and I have discussed this several times on several other pages that many gamblers misunderstand winning in gambling where they usually think that winning is something that can be used as income as we often hear from some gamblers who have entered and trapped in a cycle of addiction.

In the end, it is clear that this is the wrong mindset in responding to gambling and I am sure that someone who thinks that winning in gambling can be used as income is those who do not have a correct understanding of how gambling really is, they only see from one side only in terms of "chances of winning" but do not pay attention to other facts that the possibility of defeat will always be a part of gambling that can never be separated. In the end, from several cases that have occurred, instead of earning, they have suffered a lot of losses and all of this will be experienced when you are too excessive in treating gambling due to having the belief that gambling can be used as a place to earn. However, it is always recommended to make gambling an entertainment activity, because by having the intention only to seek entertainment, it is less likely for you to overdo it, and the point is that it is not recommended to put excessive expectations on winning and if you manage to win one of the wins then consider it a bonus for the game you have played.

There are different reasons why individuals gamble but the major reason and common fact is that people gamble to make money, if we call it gambling, there must be something involved and expectation are always high depending on your stake, i come to understand that many  gamblers both old and new gamblers fail to understand that losing must take place, most times greed contribute this too because if gambler remove greed they will be able to read each casinos guidelines, must casinos state it categorically that as a gambler, you should gamble responsibly, it means that as a gambler you should not go extra mile to satisfy your gambling behaviour, many gamblers doesn't even know that gambling is not guaranteed for money making that's why they gamble blindly without a rethink.

Absolutely correct, people don't really think about this side rather are being painted with the word gamble for fun and not to make money in disguise for entertainment purpose, you know it is clear evidential that we devote time to gamble in order to increase our income by chances since what comes into their account is not sufficiently enough for them, so they looks for other alternative means to boost their earnings as the case maybe but people keeps hiding the truth about gambling instead are always paraphrasing the whole concepts as if when that winning aspect is being removed people would still keep gambling.

People playing gambling because many reasons. We knows that people wants to make money from gambling, some people wants to have fun through gambling, other people wants to fills their spare time to playing gambling. But many of them don't knows that playing gambling have the risks of losing the money and we already seen that many people lose their money from gambling. People already lose their money but that doesn't stops them from playing gambling because the temptation of gambling still there and invites them to keeps playing gambling in other days. That makes people gets deeper in the gambling without learning the main points of gambling because their reason playing gambling is change. They must realize about what happens to them so they can start to fix it and will not do the same mistakes.

The gambling elements that you listed in your post can be considered because there is no gambling without risk But looking At the main points of gambling Its all depend on the individual because every individual has his or her reasons of gambling.
Some individuals gamble for fun , some gamble for the money And some others gamble for no reason , they probably gamble because they see others gambling . The Category of individual who gamble for fun do It because they want be happy , reduce mental stess thereby reducing their chances of being depressed. Also they see gamble as a means of exercise And many more.

Other set of individual gamble for the money benefits . This category of individuals are quite addicts becaus their primary aim of gambling is To make money And they do everything possible To gamble At all cost.they can hide fo gamble even If gamble is restricted in their area because they want the money By all means . They Find It very difficult To contriol their emotions And Thats why they are always victims of violence in most casino house or betting shops .
Last , the category of those that gamble because they see other people gambling. These are individuals who do not know much about gambling But they gamble because their friends are Gamblers And they probably gamble because they want  To feel among . However. The main points of gambling lies on the perception of the individual involved And for me i gamble for fun And for the money Too.

They lack planning.
A gambler must know when to stop and when to continue. If the planned amount of profits is reached then it's time to say goodbye to gambling for a while or just leave a little bit of money there and play other games. Away from what you used to play. If you play slots then go sports gambling for a while.

As gamblers, we must also be responsible for when to take the profits. Withdraw if we see that it's enough and don't ever put it somewhere you could easily deposit it because that will become an urge to go back and gamble more once you lose the amount you left in the wallet of the casino.
As much as possible we won't have to deposit it back for a week or more. Maybe a time where everything will reset including the system.

The point for which many persons get into gamble is same as reason for gambling, people gambling for two main reasons which are fun and making money.  It is in your self-discipline that those other factors in gambling such as amount to wager, risk to take and the prize in prospect to win later come into play. If any individual don't know why he/she gambles then it's as good as someone throwing money into abyss, for such people, anything goes and they are the kind of gamblers that do fall into addiction because there's no design guiding their gambling life.

Yeah for me this is some sort of personal preferences whether we gamble for fun or we expect to get extra income from it. Those three are key elements in performing gambling activities and without them I don't know what is. People loses much from gambling because of greed and them being irresponsible gamblers.

Back again at the gambler's level. Let's just say there are 3 levels of gamblers consisting of lower, middle and upper classes. If the three levels of gamblers that I have demonstrated use their sane minds in gambling, considerations, risks and rewards may be taken into account by withdrawing a portion of the winnings obtained.
I think gamblers realize that in gambling they will never win with the meaning of 2:1, 2 loses 1 win. This process will always spin like that so it requires awareness that the motivation for gambling is only for fun by determining the percentage of money that will be used for gambling.

Greed and irresponsible gambling is a powerful facility that destroys the inner peace of most gamblers and push them to face mistakes, regrets, financial and mental loss. These pains dumps an emotional meltdown on the players. Such that he'll feel unsatisfied with whatever result he gets in gambling; win or loss. I think at this stage the player has no point of gambling other than the feel of obligation to wager funds every day, any moment. What is to be learnt from gambling is a lot but many would choose money over financial and mental freedom. Less they forget that gambling compulsively consumes money faster than any other gambling strategy or pattern.

It's crucial that a player focus on grabbing new ideas, knowledge, and skills through gambling, as a point or purpose of engaging in the act of gambling. Double checking on the choices and decisions we make as players should be listed, also, as a purpose of gambling. It'll help the player regulate his thoughts and understand quickly when his brain power is getting exhausted. Which is the best moment to call it a day and rest till another session. I see a sea of gambling points that's not connected to making money. Yet only a few players would gamble without having a point related to money.

Well, greed, greed, have always been the Defects that human beings have by nature, it is something that is sometimes difficult to see and people believe that they are doing it Well , and that is not the case, we as responsible people We must always do all things but being careful not to get carried away, because this is undoubtedly one of the most Common mistakes in all people , we are human , we make mistakes, but we must learn Things as they are and how we should do them so that we can control ourselves. Sometimes it is not just About controlling money or emotions but those Types of Feelings , everything that involves winning is something that adds up, but you have to know how to Win.

the objective of anyone who find itself in gambling is to make that it gambles to make money, nobody who gamble to entertain it self so therefore I know quite well that gambling is something we need to understand the strategies and it's something we will proudly say that we are doing it base we want feel among, the major thing that I know that should be one of the things we need to understand in gambling is that we need to know the advantages of gambling and disadvantages of gambling because it suppose to have effect on us, let us believe that if you are depending on gambling to survive you might end up losing.

For me one of the main points of gambling is to see it as a fun play of which majority are doing it beyond that by gambling with the amount they can't afford loss, spending more time in the gambling sites, which can possibly leads addiction too, you don't have to over over allocate your resources and time or probably see gambling as a full time of a thing which is a wrong approach.

I guess the gamblers already know about the "main points in gambling" but what they do not pay attention to here is the risks involved in gambling ? In any other business or work, you can't lose money as quickly as much possible as compared to gambling. A newbie or an emotional gambler could risk his entire money (portfolio) and loses them in the next second. He can win and be the luckiest person too but we need to focus on the risk first and not just concentrate on how much we can win.



The behaviors and the emotions of the gamblers need to be worked upon and the win in gambling will have more probabilities. Things will become better if gambler should focus on minimize the losses in gambling and do not focus on winning only. If the risks is under control, the gambler will do emotionless gambling and he will never be in a awkward position of losing everything in a single or few bets

It's obvious though, and again, gambling is simple and so we don't need to overthink about this kind of element and whatnot. Remember that it has been with human since the beginning and yet it still exist up to this day, why? it's because that's part of our psychology to gamble at one time or another in our natural life.

And when I think about psychology it means that it has been ingrained with us, we lost money, we win money, that's it. And we have heard horror stories about the bad result of it and yet people continue to play.

Gambling is a way for you to have fun, essentially when you don't have anything to do. For example, you're a true blue golf enthusiast but these days it seems like it just doesn't hit the same itch in your brain as it once does in the past, some people will resort to finding a different hobby, but most people will just go out there, head to the casinos cashier desk to exchange money for chips, and play to their heart's content. It just so happens that some people, take what's supposed to be a one-off rendezvous into something that's way bigger than their lives, which in turn makes them addicted to gambling. When this happens, they are literally compelled by their brains to gamble, and to keep on gambling so they could cover the losses they have incurred over their run, of course that doesn't happen and what it does is subject them to even more financial trouble.

So yeah, gambling is not necessarily an ally nor an enemy, it's just that thing you could go to whenever you feel like the usual stuff doesn't feel as nice as it does anymore due to your hedonic set point being set at a high standard.

You have answered everything all you need but your subjective way of expressions combine everything together. If you love gambling, you must have done it purposely for something, it's either for the money or for the fun(+money) and to be able to achieve these, you must risk with the money you think it's worth gambling with and not money you can't let go.

Even the people that gamble because their friends gamble is because they see their friends are winning and making money from gambling, it's illogical for someone to just start betting without any motivation, there most be a key source of motivation and that is nothing but money. Only money is the driving force why a lot people gamble and not the fun unless for people who has money to throw but they are very rare actually.

Gambling can be viewed from different angles as most people don't even know the points of gambling.Gambling is a game that when played,the winners go home with a reward.Since gambling is a game and not a source of income anyone should rely,so it should played for fun and not the other way round,once it played with the motive of earning from it that's the starting point of it being pointless to the gambler.

However it actually depends on the gambler who is gambling, one can not spake in behalf of other gamblers because there are different levels of gamblers inside and outside the gamble industr6.We have the middle class gamblers, poor gamblers, and the rich gamblers, so I think it's a question that everyone who's gambling should answer for him/her self. To me I gamble to make money but at the same time I also gamble with care so I don't get addicted or lose what I can not afford.

The taught of taking gambling as a means of feeding itself is a very wrong approach and it's clearly nit the way to go with it because it's definitely going to land and end you up in a corner that would be filled with regrets and sorrow and that's why the overall taught of using money in which when you lose it, you wouldn't be affected should always play out in your head.

They kept ignoring those ideas because of having misconceptions that losses will be recovered as soon as betting all over again could lead to winning. In which, I think not guaranteed effective because the activities got a lot of pressures. A person could potentially develop an emotional struggles that could lead to addiction, as this habit and desire arises.

I was expecting to see where you will give us the main points of gambling but seems you are also looking for the same answer you are accusing many people of not knowing. In my understanding, the main point of gambling is to earn money which is what you described as prize. Remove the the money, you will be left with only the gambling addicts as the rest of the gamblers will not see any reason to gamble. Even those that claim to be gambling for fun will ditch gambling the moment their is no monetary gain attached to gambling. If you are not propelled to gamble because of money, check well to see that you have become an addict such that even if money is removed, you just love gambling.

Most people look at gambling as a way to get rich quick, this is because gambling companies are good at marketing. Whenever there is a big winner, they advertise everywhere possible that there was a person who played with little money, something like $1 and managed to win something like 5 million dollars and became rich. Looking at this ad you would think that few people would believe it, but the truth is that an ad like this has a great power to influence people's minds and those people who are in a desperate situation because their finances are dire start to gamble a lot with the hope that one day they too will be able to win 5 million dollars and get out of their bad life

see this article for example:


source: https://www.madisontrust.com/information-center/visualizations/the-25-biggest-us-lottery-jackpots-all-time/

If you live in the USA and show this article to as many people as you know, you will see that some will start buying lottery tickets too because they will think they can win a lot of money too. People start playing a lot most of the time out of desperation, because they have financial problems that they need to solve urgently, but unfortunately they end up in the wrong place when it comes to making money.

some persons does not understand that the gambling is a game not a generated Revenue for surviving so whoever that is into gambling she'll not take gambling as the major way of making money, it is based on our mindset that met us to have an interior motive towards gambling gambling is just a game of opportunity and a game of a trial so when the game favor you you can be able to win and when the game does not favor you you will lose that is the two things that is involved in gambling

Sometimes the excitement of the wins make you lose again and that's because their is no focus on what you are doing. I have seen gamblers getting carried away by some of their wins and at the long run of everything still get stuck Back at the stage of zero, a typical example would be the fella being talked about in the bc.game Ann thread, I mean that is so fucking crazy that he makes he wins turn out negatively for him instead of positive vibes .

Everyone's style is different when it comes to gambling and most people think of gambling as a way to make money. Gambling should be seen as a form of entertainment and not to earn money from it gamblers who bet with the intention of making money will have a higher risk of losing money. That's why you should keep your mind and avoid greed in gambling. Greed sometimes turns into addiction but gamblers can't come out easily. Gambling is when people risk money or something of value to predict the outcome of a game involving chance. If you predict the outcome correctly you win money if you are wrong you lose gambling money.

I kind of agree with you that most gamblers became fond of gambling because their close friends or colleague has been winning in gambling. Which is not bad at all, i know understand that feeling that we get when we hear people talk about their winnings in gambling, we feel like we are left out and why isn't us having those luck.

What am going to tell you OP is that there is no valid point of gambling because on a norms gambling is an irresponsible behavior. But people who are responsible gamble cause of some certain reasons. Which could be poverty, health emergencies, pay tuition and utility bills and so on. There are more reasons if you are able to get in touch with gamblers physically ask them and they will tell you the reasons.

People only hear the success stories from gambling, hence dive into the world of gambling in order to be successful. But they don’t know that the success rate is 20% only. 80% of the people lose their money in gambling. Hence without knowing this the people start the gambling and upon facing losses, they starts complaining. You need to understand that along with profit there is risk to invest your hard earned money on a gambling platform. Hence gamble with the amount that you can afford to lose.

Does it even matter that they need to identify what the main points are? Heck, even just the act of gambling itself already presents the main points, I don't think it matters at all for people to be aware of what they actually are or not. In fact you don't even need to know it in the first place. It's nothing important and in most cases, if not all, as long as a gambling instance has a prize and a chance to win, that's more than enough for people to gamble.

you're right about knowing the prize and a chance to win. But with the main points you won't get angry whenever you lose a game cause why some people get mad most it's when losses occurs mostly, but the help of the four elements you won't bother to make things hard for yourself anymore. So when it comes to gambling it's really matters to identify the main points before going into gambling if not gambling won't be easy for you. Is like going to school without not knowing the purpose of you waking up every morning and go to school. So the points makes it more easier for a real gambler.

I also think that the main point in gambling is to have fun, because if someone hopes that they will be able to get money from gambling every day, then they will be wrong about that, because in fact the percentage of gamblers' losses is greater than their wins. So instead of being disappointed and stressed because we really hope that we will be able to get money from every time we gamble, it's better to have fun and gamble the money that we are ready to lose.

Probably because of the very reason that people don't really care about that small detail anymore, they just want to gamble and go home, regret the gambling session and then do it again, why do they have to worry about those points anyway? Let them complain, even if you don't let them complain or whine about their complaint, they would still gamble anyway, that's how most people cope with the stress in gambling, I mean that's how I do it when I gamble but still, they will complain but they're not really willing to do any changes in their gambling habit, that's just how it is, your concern is valid but people just don't care.

Gambling is full of risks, gambling also has guarantee of much larger percentage of losses, maybe getting chance at gambling and winning is very fun and is the hope of many people, but it is not easy to get.
Chance of winning is always small and the chance of failure is much more likely to occur, so far it is important to understand that every time there is win there is always loss, but when there is loss it is not necessarily win.
To be honest, I agree much more with understanding the main points in gambling because those who are only careless and gamble to make money to enrich themselves will always fail until in the end they become addicts, they are crazy about winning.
We as gamblers have to think long and consider everything to be able to get safer long term experience I don't think any gambler would be willing to just keep losing.
Different things will happen for those who just have fun by spending money and don't really care about the pursuit of profit or victory.

The real point or purpose of gambling should be to have fun.  Because if you use it for income it will cause you lot of loss because gambling will not give you regular win and sometimes you will win regularly but you cannot predict when you will lose due to which you get greedy and lose your profit and yourself Capital will lose everything. so the point of gambling should be for fun and entertainment  then gambling cannot harm you. It is a fact that people whose primary focus is on gambling will take gambling seriously and lose

I think that's just some people, especially irresponsible gamblers, they don't pay attention to the important points because all they need is a win that they have to achieve, even though gambling itself is a risky game. So in the end, instead of getting a profit, the irresponsible gamblers actually get it suffer continuous losses which makes him addicted and wants to chase the losses he has experienced. They do this because he believes that one day his losses can return with bigger wins and without realizing it he becomes a compulsive gambler and cannot control himself because he doesn't pay attention to points. important points before he decides to gamble.

Meanwhile, responsible gamblers always pay attention to the important points when they gamble, use the money they can afford to lose and don't try to chase losses because they know it is very risky and losing money in gambling has become a normal thing so they can accept it, so the basic principles are What we have to learn about gambling is very important to lead us into responsible gambling and we are not worried about becoming addicted to gambling if we already understand these important points.

They must be able to accept whatever results they get from gambling, whether it is a loss or a win. They must also be able to immediately stop gambling so that they do not experience more losses. However, not many people can do this because they are still tempted to continue gambling.

It makes them lose more money in gambling. And it also doesn't make them realize their mistake. Many more people continue to gamble without paying attention to the risk of losing their money.

If many people were aware of the main points of gambling, they would not have to lose a lot of money from gambling. They can use the money for gambling. They can also enjoy gambling games as entertainment.

98% of gamblers are into gambling to make money, it is the truth and those who are doing it for fun have learned that there is no way to make constant money from gambling, they learned from their past losses and experiences so they adjust themselves.

I can say that I belong to the category of people who learn from their mistakes, although it was not originally my mistakes, I learned from others' mistakes and got to know that gambling is not a way that you can make money from time to time, it is better to get a Job and use some part of your money to gamble.

The part that I most fear about gambling is addiction, I know people who are messed up because they get addicted to gambling, and today they are still yet to balance their lives, since put fear down my spine, I have always been careful in the ways that I gamble.

It is true that everyone has a different style in gambling and they also have a different approach, and I think with the large population of gamblers who end up experiencing a lot of problems in their lives such as experiencing a lot of financial problems or getting into debt then maybe we can already confirm that they have the wrong intentions and goals in their gambling involvement such as coming with the intention of earning so that in the end experiencing such bad effects. This is because however and whenever gambling can never be used as a place to earn because there is no certainty and guarantee to always be able to win while the possibility of losing will continue to lurk you at any time, and this is the reason why a gambler who tries to make money instead experiences a significant amount of loss.

Yes it is true that every gambler is always advised to make gambling as nothing more than a game of entertainment, because with this approach then I think it is less likely for you to do various unreasonable actions such as applying greed, because all you want is entertainment and not income.

Gambling is more than just rolling dice or going to the slots. It explores human decision-making, especially in difficult situations. The basics are simple: wager, risk, win. Trouble is, it becomes difficult quickly

Just because someone else got rich, some people start gambling. This is herd mentality, social pressure, and FOMO. These guys rarely consider the math. They don't understand that every bet has a probability, expected value, and win/lose chance. And when they lose? A cosmic reminder that they didn't do their homework

I guess gambling should only be made for fun. Regardless of life’s status, it should never be a source of income even if you don’t have a stable one, otherwise you will risk your funds into losing them all as there’s no guarantee that gambling will double or triple your capital. Although it’s nature for us to gamble for fun and to make more money, but if you are a responsible one, you should not use gambling to earn more money, but look for a real job instead since earning in gambling is only a bonus if it happens that you gamble out of luck.

Losing is normal as well even though you know the main points of gambling and this is related to that 1 element you said there which is the risk or chance. I think that a consideration or an amount wagered is also part of the risk and this is where it all starts.

The odds that we choose when we are now about to play is only secondary and even if you choose the higher ones, I think it can still be considered that the risk you are taking is only small if the capital that you use is also small. Knowing our main points in gambling is better because we can go in and go out immediately. Usually once we gained enough experience, we will always have it.

The truth is that this question really doesn't have a general answer. Now this because just like different gamblers choose different games and different casinos, so does a majority of them have individual reasons why they gamble. People Gamble for different reasons ranging from fun which is common with younger gamblers, as a form of leisure activity especially for gamblers who are very busy most of the time and some gamble to reduce stress and keep busy during idle times which is common with older people.
However despite their different reasons the most common reason is to make some extra cash by winning along the way. Also, as long as a gambler doesn't spend too much time gambling or make the monetary aspect his main aim he should be safe from addiction.

Why would you assume that people wouldn't know those points. And it's not like they are universal points, or should be everyone's reason to gamble. They are your points, not "main" points. Gambling can be a social event, form of enternainement, spicing up the game or a match you are watching, and mean points could be literally anything anyone can dream of.

Yeah, many people see someone win and want to win, but why do you think people wouldn't get the basics of gambling (or main thing where it's founded on)? I mean it's not like it's a some sort of difficult puzzle to crack.

People complain when they lose, and why shouldn't they? Feelings of loss are ok to have and feel, or talk about. People who can't stop even though they are hurting are often addicts. That has nothing to do with understanding any elements or points of the game, addiction is a physical and mental issue.

The main point of is to have fun and.make mine for ourselves at the same time. Gamblers want to be having the fun while their cash is increasing. Everyone wants to see this happening to them and if it does not happens, depression will start especially when we go into greed and use fund that does not belong to use to play bets and lose was the outcome. We all want to make money apart from the fun we could be getting from gambling. The fun is the fortunate outcome we keep getting in the crypto market to make money for ourselves without any negativity.

This is inevitably a character that so many people are exhibiting recently and it's not only in gambling, some people when they see that there fellow person is richly living a life of inappropriate spending of money, they want to live the same lifestyle, not knowing that who they are trying to copying is 3 steps ahead of them. Exactly what happens in gambling that some gamblers believe that luck that worked for their friends can be the same luck that will work for them, that is where the trouble starts.

I don't think so, it has a general answer. If we take a look at the answers of most people here, the general answers is having fun and earning money. Even if people explain it in different ways, I see the points are fund and money only.

You have concluded it yourself, you admit there is a general answer.  ;D
I don't understand why you explained it in the beginning that it has no general answer.
This just makes your post has a contradictory.

Well, whatever the personal reason of the people, they admit to expect fun and money from gambling. People who have enough money and don't chase the win, they prefer to have fun with gambling. But people who have limited money, they dream to win big prizes and solve their financial problem. These are 2 main reasons or 2 main points of gambling.

You are right about this, most persons think that they gamble for fun and it's not a habit or they don't do it for the money and give all kind of excuses to gamble but I clearly know its for the money, at least for the poor and average persons, but I do know some rich folks can gamble on their main club just to support or feel the vibe of winning.

Yes, this is true. Most of the people that is gambling. Don’t know the reason why they are gone because they are gambling and they experience a lot of winning by their friends so they feel like they will have to gamble. Just send because you are seeing, gambling is not what you think it is it is just the game of

nobody who is into gambling that have a porn to why is into gambling a gambling is like entertainment so on the process of gambling you are in entertaining yourself you are also taking risk so majority who is into gambling cannot say that they have one particular thing in mind that you making them to gamble always every time they measured objective of every person who is in to gambling is to make money and I believe that most people that is into gambling there are entertaining their self and also looking for another Avenue to make money through gambling can be positive in two side neither you make money through gambling or you get in entertainment through gambling

The main point to playing gambling can be make money but that will be a wrong decision because gambling is not a place to make money. People can playing gambling but with limitations and moderately so they will not lose much money and can stops gambling in the right time. They will not chase the wins because they knows that will be difficult to them so they just playing gambling to enjoy their time and will not lets them lose much money. They can be wise while playing gambling as they knows that gambling is part of the entertainment so they can knows how to treat gambling as well. Besides that, gambling is just a game that will have two result which can be wins or loses so they will accept whatever the outcomes in gambling and will not trying to recover their lose in gambling.

I just think that for one to play in a casino what one seeks is to win money, not to lose, to lose because it is the safest option we have, that is why we have to play with caution, but on the basis that things can be done from another point of View , since it is fun and Everything that is talked about, it is also valid, the important thing is that if you lose a lot do not try to win by betting more money to recover what was lost, because that is what is achieved, is that lose more than normal, every time you play like this it is very unlikely that everything will be lost, it is very difficult for the person to Recover , I do not recommend it.

Yups I support your idea that we can't seem to hide from the fact that all gamblers come because of the attraction of making winnings in gambling, or winnings is what makes people come and gamble, and also I think we all agree with the idea that everyone doesn't like losing, But gambling has an element of opportunity to give a certain amount of winnings to all gamblers involved and this is what attracts people to come and get involved, they assume that they will be able to make a lot of winnings, but what they don't know is that all gamblers are only given a 50-50 chance by the casino between winning or losing so simply put you can win but you can also lose.

The mistake most gamblers make is that they come and get involved but only focus on the chances of winning but don't seem to care much about the possibility of losing which is always a given when they are unlucky. On the other hand it is a fact that winning in gambling is always dependent on luck so it is only natural that if a gambler overdoes their gambling activities then they end up losing huge amounts of money because luck will not always come their way. With these facts, it is clear that this is the reason why gambling is more recommended to be used as a place to seek entertainment without any excessive elements, and I am sure that if someone knows in full about how gambling really is then he will always act carefully, such as applying many restrictions.

They gamble not because they have a lot of money, but because they don't have any money. They risk every penny they earn, even just a little, in the hope that the gambling activities they engage in and the bets they place can change their lives in an instant. Likewise, for those who have enough money, they hope that through gambling and betting they can increase their wealth. However, instead of getting a profit from the gambling they do and the bets they place, in the end the rich become poor and the poor become increasingly miserable, and this can happen because they cannot control themselves and their gambling activities well.

And there are also those who think that the essence of gambling is fun and excitement, in my opinion this is just an alibi to defend yourself from bad behavior in gambling. And even if it is true that what is sought is pleasure, I would say that someone will only feel happy if they feel satisfied, whereas in gambling, someone will only feel satisfied with the gambling they do only when they can win and get a profit from the gambling they do. When they lose then there is no such thing as fun and excitement. Kadi, in my opinion, the main point of gambling is to calmly seek victory and profit.

Dreams, hopes and quick money these are main factors while I have some research and understand this all with in country where I am living life is not easy with daily wages and having big responsibilities create problems for the few peoples which need to settle these things quickly so they jumped into this world and then have nothing to survive even many are gone terribly down with now way to back and few are having their lessons then stop this all which bring them in normal but take long time for having things on normal.

And usually we have good end for the peoples those are responsible for this all as due to house edge they are having profits and their life is having good turn because they are having all in with just 3% to 5% are having good life after wins of gambling if they stop this all but if they are still going in then they are having nothing to do with this all.

Gamble is game of entertainment. But you can decide what you want to do with gamble and I can also decide what I want to use gamble for. Most gamblers now are into gamble because they think it is the fastest way to earn some money for the moment and others are into gambling today because they have a fath that they might win big and their story change, meanwhile few gamblers are gambling for entertainment. That is why I said that gamble is a thing that entertainment both the poor and the rich. If the poor gambler that's gambling to win and make money from gamble win, he will be happy, then when a rich gambler that gambles fur entertainment wins or lose he's also entertained because he's not gambling to make money but he's gambling for fun.

Many people who gamble seeks for wins but they must realizes that winning in gambling is difficult and not many people can wins, especially to wins much money. By realizing the fact, they will not trying to playing gambling too seriously because that can cause them lose much money. Gamblers must be wise to manages their money to playing gambling and knows how much money they should use to playing gambling. The main point to gambling is how they can treats gambling as an entertainment and not risks too much money to prevents the big lose. If they can holds themselves from the big lose and can accepts the outcomes, they will not regrets when they lose their money in gambling. They knows that's the risks of playing gambling so that's why they always to use money they can afford to lose when playing gambling.

Making loss in gamble doesn't mean that one don't know the main aim of gamble. And the main ( initial ) reason why people gamble is to make more money ( profit ). But nowadays I see people who gamble for fun reason because they have so much money in their account. In as much as will gamble to make profit we should also know that there will be loss and the funny part is, those people that joined gambling because of how much there friend win, they think it's just win everyday no loss that's why when they make loss for some days they will stop gambling. Gamble is not really easy, but those who are not into it always think and say it's very easy, that if they should join they won't make any loss.

Basically, all gamblers must understand and see the good and bad in gambling, but sometimes we as gamblers will not be able to resist and resist the temptation issued by the host so that we are sometimes easily tempted and tempted by the results that may have been obtained by gamblers around us. Alone.
Therefore, before we really want to enter the world of gambling, we have to understand and be aware of the points or principals in gambling as you said before and so that we can learn and take actions which are appropriate to do and which are not. no need to do it.

You made a very good point, alot of individuals who gamble always think of the bright side, the forget it's very risky and depends on luck, there are some who think it's an opportunity to make themselves wealthy and even go to the extent of staking all they go on an event yet to be unfold that's the height of it all and those with such mindset of making a fortune from gambling mostly end  up becoming addicts.

 The quest for quick money, greed and enviness are things that makes individuals go into gambling without a good understanding and assessment of the game, because people benefit from it they feel they might make it from gambling too, without having any skill or strategy, the best way to see gambling is still as a form of entertainment and means of having and not as a means of making  a fortune.

Yes, the fact is that someone who really wants to get involved in gambling activities is based on what he hears or sees when other gamblers are experiencing victory with a heart and mind that is easily influenced by things that are not necessarily easy to obtain and a gambler still does it before. his wish was fulfilled.
And your statement is very correct, based on greed, envy and wanting to immediately get a lot of money, people are willing to enter the world of gambling without thinking about the very high risks involved.

Staking on the house would not be a bad investment because the house will win in the long run but staking your money to wager it on games is a bad choice if done recklessly. Sometimes overconfidence builds up and players tend to make these mistakes. They rarely get the chance to think their decisions twice because the greed factor is clouding their thoughts.

The outcome is actually one-sided because the ones who lose will obviously chase the loss and become addicts. Even the ones who win will increase their confidence and gamble again till they lose and get entry into the first group.

What are the main points of gambling?The main point of gambling is having fun, in my opinion and if you win from it that is bonuses. Gambling is game with money and thats it, why I say like this because gambling casino or whatever it called is businesses and business is to earn profit for the owner

Before they gamble, people should understand that gambling is not to make money but just to have fun. If they think of gambling as a place to make money, they will see that it will be difficult to earn and will make them lose a lot of money. They don't need to experience as many losses as others and only use gambling for entertainment. If more people understood that the essence of gambling is to entertain themselves in their spare time, they would be able to enjoy gambling as entertainment and would always avoid losing a lot.

That's what the industry is designed for but sincerely speaking, only a few percentage of gamblers are gambling this days for the sake of fun and entertainment. The attention and emphasis has now shifted to money. In fact, people now see gambling as a source of income despite they are not always winning but they keep hoping to hit the jackpot someday.

It's funny how some people are into gambling without knowing the purpose they are there for. They are just gambling because they heard about someone winning huge amount of money from gambling. For several occasions, I have seen people gambling with there money while they don't even know how to gamble. They normally give people money to gamble for them and collect the profit if they win. I make enquiry and I discovered that one gambler in their midst won a reasonable amount of money from gambling and everyone is now coming to him with money to play game for them.

These set of people don't even know what sport is all about talk more of knowing the various teams to place bet on. They believe gambling to be a second source of income and when you talk about the entertainment part of gambling, you are just wasting your time with them. I know it will not end well between them because when losing is too much, they will start accusing him of spending their money instead of gambling for them not knowing that winning is occasional.

It is a norm for you to lose when gambling and I don't think that there is anyone that have gambled that will say he has never lost a bet. You will even run at loss more because it is only when you are lucky that you will win your bet, and luck comes once in a while. If we have all these at the back of our minds, then it will help one to gamble responsible and for fun. This is because you will not see your loss as defeat that you must fight back to recover. No, losses are the nature of gamble and it will also enable you to only use the amount of money that you can afford to lose to gamble, so that you don't care about losing or not.

That's the advantage of gambling, even though they don't have a coercive element, they can attract all the players to become addicted to gambling, especially those who don't have good self-control. Gambling addiction is something that definitely happens when they gamble, whether they lose or win, they still win. the addiction will be there and will make them return to gambling again. Many people gamble, they cannot resist the temptation of gambling, especially with the many advertisements displayed saying that winning is easy to get, which clearly makes them lulled and plunged deeper into gambling.

The aim of many people who gamble is to make money, it is very absurd if there are gamblers who do not want their gambling to make money, even though some gamblers aim for entertainment but it is impossible for them not to want to get profitable wins. There are many points that must be remembered before gambling, the aim of which is to avoid large losses, and I think everyone already knows what points must be had to avoid large losses or bad impacts from gambling.

The main point of gambling should be to have fun and enjoy gambling games, whether we win or lose. Of course, when we win we enjoy gambling much more, apart from the fact that when we take money from the casino, we all strive for that feeling of victory.

We all know that gambling offers excitement and entertainment but carries risks of addiction and financial loss. So that's why responsible gambling is very important, people should play only with money they can afford to lose. Once people cross this line it means they are deep in addiction and they don't play for fun anymore, they play to cover their losses.


My opinion is that those who play for fun and because they love the game make money, those who gamble just to make money are usually on the losing side.

True, there is no compulsion in doing it, but the attraction of making a lot of money can tempt and attract someone to do it and this will apply to someone who is insensitive and does not have proper self-control.
Yes, sometimes someone looks for entertainment by gambling, but subconsciously he also wants to make a profit there and I agree with you. The most important thing is that if we have entered the gambling activity environment then as much as possible to minimize the loss of money because that is what is very important in every gambler.

You thread is somehow complicated sorry to say cause the reason why those people are complaining is that making loss instead of winning which the main point or aim of gambling the loss is just one of the thing to put into consideration while gambling cause there must be loss in order for company to still exist.
Note the main point or aim of gambling is to make money or profit.

maybe for each gambler they have different reasons why they gamble. some say that they just want to have fun, make money, or for other reasons that make them gamble. but i personally say that the main point of gambling is for entertainment. because in my opinion you can't rely on gambling as a place for you to make money consistently. you can't expect that when you gamble, you will keep winning, there will be times when you will have a losing streak, and it is quite risky to rely entirely on gambling to make money.

I think that in gambling and batting, the biggest advantage is that you don't need to understand anything at all. Imagine slots: even a kid can cope there, because you just need to believe in luck and press one button.
Of course, in batting you need to be able to analyze, as in poker or other card games, but there is also a very high percentage of luck! And even a beginner sometimes plays a professional.

Well I would say main points and main reasons for gambling are somehow interwoven but are to be used on different categories,cause if you're to say the main points of gambling should be something one needs to pen down or jot for easy access and that should be for fun as it is a game but tend if your to say the reason for gambling , people gamble for money like to double their income and all that,to win and loss which is the order of the game.
So I believe I'm making sense with this.

Every gamblers have reasons to gamble although some are being influenced to gamble and rat attraction is their main purpose gamble.
There's no dark world for a gambler to only realize he got into gambling without his consent just simply he lost. Perhaps even the experts gamblers feels sad at their lost at times but what matters is that you should also bet with that's affordable.

Many consider gambling as a source of entertainment while many consider it as a source of income. No matter how they start gambling, at some point most gamblers become addicted. Gamblers only begin to suffer from their gambling when they become addicted. However, if the gambler considers gambling as a source of entertainment or enjoys the excitement of winning or losing from gambling, then gambling cannot be a cause of harm to him. If the gambler loses, he will be under pressure. But what I find among the positive aspects of gambling is that the gambler will enjoy it. If you can manage gambling without becoming addicted, you can enjoy the benefits of gambling.

It's really sad to lose but that's part of gambling and a gambler should know this before deciding to engage himself. The problem is some gamblers became interested to play due to many advertisement showing a huge win that can attract people to try it for themselves. Then will be hopeful to win thinking it is quite easy after seeing the good side of being lucky. Not knowing many gamblers are just losing their money than gaining.

Thus, before trying to gamble your money, be certain that you are aware of the risk, prepared for the consequences just in case what you expected didn't happened and don't be greedy. If you lose accept it and move on.

It sure is. A kid can play a slot game. Press the button and "Voila!" you can either lose the game or win it. There's no such thing as strategy in it, you are just depending on what the system will give you and most of the time it is a losing bet. Slots is an expensive game and it can sometimes go further as x1000 times of bets before you can get a good multiplier. Bonuses are also so hard to receive because the bonus images are so rare to come out and I think it's meant that way so the the slot provider can make a profit.
But a one-time max win could really change the perspective of a gambler. It's either that gambler will become a greedy person because he want more of that or he is the disciplined type that would take advantage of that win and withdraw without looking back.

Yes, it is true that the point is self-awareness when gambling, you don't always win, keep thinking to understand defeat and accept it gracefully, that is much more important. Sometimes when people gamble, they don't accept their defeat consciously, they don't understand the concept of gambling risk, even though every Gamblers must understand that not all gamblers continue to win, they will definitely lose more often, gambling should be like that, don't think that you will continue to win.

Every gambler will definitely experience defeat and the main point of gambling is to have fun with every game, this is a mindset game if you gamble for fun usually you won't become addicted to gambling, don't let gamblers become addicted because gambling addiction is a disease that is difficult to cure, I think we all know that gambling should never be excessive because anything that is excessive will definitely not be good in the end and you will be addicted to gambling in the end, don't expect too much gambling is not a place to seek wealth, let alone profit, it is not the right place.

Gambling should be done to be enjoyed, with those who gamble with the aim of making money, of course they will not be able to enjoy the gambling they are doing, because their aim of gambling is to make money, of course they will feel tension with the gambling they do, even though it is not recommended either. to make money by gambling, even though there is a chance of winning, in other words, a certain amount of money, it is not certain that you will get it, and there is no surefire way to win at gambling. Many gamblers become addicted because they respond wrongly to gambling, including beginners.

Apart from that, I think they need to have limits, the important point that they must master is self-control. where they must be able to control everything well, such as emotions, thoughts and actions. when they can control it, it is unlikely that they will become addicted, but if they cannot control themselves then gambling addiction is something that will definitely happen even though they themselves will not admit that they are addicted but they will continue to gamble endlessly and that is wrong one sign that they are addicted to gambling. because what you say is true, if they can manage gambling without becoming addicted to them, they are gamblers who can enjoy their gambling. and not take careless actions when you have experienced defeat.

I agree with you but I want to add something more to you.  Your goal is to become addicted to gambling, and taking risks is a part of gambling.  If a gambler follows a number of rules, he will surely win, because the gambler will avoid becoming addicted, and gamble small amounts many times so that he does not lose money in one gamble.  I won more money when I first entered gambling in the beginning of gambling. And after gambling a few times my dollar is gone, I have no more money to play with.  Later the winnings were entered again by earning, so avoid such situations by betting small amounts only then it is possible to win.

What I can say here is that the mindset of most gamblers is not right from the onset and this is very bad. In this sense, there is nothing they can do that will be right because anxiety will linger as most people will not even view gambling in a neutral way and will not even view it as a revenue to have fun, but a means to make money, which is very wrong and infesting. This is why I often implore people to learn gambling before dabbling into it, they should not undermine it just because it is an informal avenue that is easily accessible. They should know that it is very risky and can cost them more than the money they lose.

Also, people should learn how to preserve their minds when gambling, and even if you have a weak mind, you should find ways to work around it to avoid more issues for yourself or you should steer clear of gambling. Gambling can infest you and get you addicted if care is not taken, but with a strong mind, one may say No, and that ends it. But that is for those people who have strong minds that can help their Willpower. Otherwise, it will only grow worse.

And for those who have a weak mind, a simple cautiousness is key here, it will help them in preserving their doings towards it so that it will not entirely give in to gambling. Above all, let us all learn discipline in gambling and never think of it as a means of making money, otherwise, it will collect more money from us and also make our lives miserable.

yes the essence of gambling is entertainment, but for the owners of money, this perception only applies to those rich people who throw their money away for fun from the fatigue of thinking, for those ordinary workers who have a substandard income and or poor people consider gambling as an alternative to earning money besides working in an easier way without breaking a sweat. and most of the impulse gamblers are those who have little income, and most of the impulse gamblers are those who have little income, so a person's perception of gambling depends on his economic level and knowledge, I think some people need to be given an understanding of how we should treat gambling, and understand so as not to overdo it, because the main point in gambling is entertainment and the important point is luck.

Self-awareness and accepting failure in gambling are crucial. Too many individuals are dazzled by easy money and the joy of seeking it. Truthfully, gaming doesnt lead to wealth. There are winners and losers in any game.

Some dont know when to quit. They seek losses to recover money and dig themselves further into a hole. Lack of self-control and an obsessive obsession with winning feed the dangerous cycle. These people must wake up. It should be pleasant to gamble, not stressful or expensive.

Gamble responsibly, guys. Always wager within your means and know when to quit. Ask for help if you're addicted. Accepting a problem isnt shameful. The first step to healing is admitting and acting. Dont worry about winning or losing. Maintaining control and having fun.

The compulsive gamblers don't actually come from the low income earners alone. Gambling consists of too many players who are compulsive. Regardless of their earnings. Players only need to focus on the right purpose. Gambling aims differs according to players. Some players due to their interest in earning more money through suffer multiple losses on the process. While others don't think closely about funds, lots of gamblers fall on the wrong side of gambling in terms of aim and objectives.

Which has made the perspectives of gambling for many to look dull and unrealistic. As multiple players complain about having troubles since their involvement in gambling. This happens as a result of bad impacts gambling has on them, due to their various personal objectives in gambling. I always fail to persuade myself that a gambler can escape addiction if he plays compulsively.

Yes that true every gambler have it's reason of gambling but I want to confidently state that no body gambling without focusing the money benefits as driver or motivation taken fun and secondary. Gambling to some is investment and serve as their office mostly some of the third world nation where unemployment rate is very high and economic meltdown without seeking prophet as different gamblers have there reasons of gambling, the financial benefits is an inseparable to who ever it may concern that gambles.

Different reason? It would really be just two on which having fun or making money on which these are the things on whats up on gamblers mind because we do know that when it comes to gambling then you would really be minding about on how to make money or on how you would really be making up those wins on which fun is something that will really be in second priority. This is where these kind or type of businesses are really that profitable due to human beings are really that too greedy when it comes to money. There are still those individuals who do really play just for the sake of fun but there are those people who are really that playing for the sake of money making without even trying out to realize on what they are dealing with. Realizations and regrets would really be always coming at the end on which they should have avoided up something if they were really just that sensible and mindful on the moment that theyve been doing gambling.

You write about people who try to make money every day by gambling. I initially believe that a person who plans to earn money regularly by gambling is doomed to failure. There may be some exceptions, but in general it won't be a good idea.
Also, every time we hear that one of our friends has won a large amount of money, it seems to us that we will also win. But it is always worth considering that for one person who won a large amount or a jackpot, there are a lot of people who lost their money.
To answer your question, I will say that the most important thing in gambling is risk management. By this concept I mean spending only the money that you can afford to lose. That is, this is the money that, if lost, nothing bad will happen in your life. It should not be borrowed money or a loan or money that needs to be paid for bills. Using this rule there will be no problems with gambling.
We need to look at this hobby soberly and it is very important that gambling remains only a hobby and entertainment, and does not become a problem.
Wisdom to all and God bless you all!

The main point of gambling should be enjoyment. the fact that we have to use money in gambling and we can win money from here creates an addiction to gambling because our greedy mind expects to win something big from gambling and because of this we continue to gamble with the hope of winning big. People who start using gambling seriously mistakenly think of gambling as a great and easy source of income.  Because of this, they become deeply addicted to gambling.  And this deep addiction of theirs keeps them away from enjoying gambling

A lot of people gamble because they saw their friends gambling and they don’t even know anything about gambling and they just feel like it what they can learn so fast they refused to understand that it’s a time of training and try to understand the gambling system. If not you and spending money with that having a record of money if you have a record of it is good for you to understand what all about before you even think of it if not, it really affect your life, and you may not achieve what you think you achieve because you gamble away a lot

Main points could neither be MAKING MONEY or MAKING SOME FUN or having BOTH!

It would really be just that depending on how someone would really be treating up themselves about doing gambling because each person would really be that different when it comes to perspectives and views in life or on certain things. We might be seeing this for entertainment thing but others see this to be a money making income machine on which we know that it cant really be just that possible. When doing gambling then you should really know about the risks involved and the proper handling of someones finances on the moment that you do deal with it because if not then disaster would really be happening into you.

Gamble for fun and not for money and this would really be the key so that  you wont rally be that making yourself getting wrecked with it because people usually make those learnings at the moment that they are experiencing shit conditions.

It is a very bad way to gamble if someone only follows the habit of his friends. Moreover if he doesn't want to learn carefully about gambling. This type of people will have a high chance to get addiction or to gamble excessively because they understand the nature of gambling. If we have a friend that follow our habit in gambling, we must ensure to give his a lesson about gambling. A person who has no knowledge about gambling but he only knows the possible huge prize in gambling, he probably ends up with a problem. Well, these people who bring bad reputation in gambling. At the end of the day, they must blame gambling for the problem.

Not really sure what you mean but spending money in gambling doesn't need any record. As long as we stick with the allocation for gambling monthly or weekly, it is good for us. This will avoid the excessive gambling, we will gamble with limited money. If we have no specific allocation weekly or monthly, we probably use the money excessively.

Tips for gambling budget (https://casino.borgataonline.com/en/blog/how-to-set-and-stick-to-your-gambling-budget/)

Following other people in gambling without knowing anything about gambling will cause us to experience losses and it is important for us to understand this first so that we don't experience many losses in gambling.
In gambling we must be able to limit ourselves if we don't want bigger losses, we will incur if we cannot limit gambling activities and the funds we use for gambling, because without being able to control ourselves in gambling of course we will spend more money on gambling and this of course it would be very detrimental.

entering into gambling because friends that you know very well is into gambling and the there are benefiting from gambling that may make you not to win government if you use such excitement to join gambling because gambling is not a technique that you will learn how you will manipulate winning it is a something of chance and the lock so make up your mind to participate not to see yourself like someone that to participate or join gambling and the win gambling immediately there is no one who hope that he or she will win gambling and it come to pass the most experience on losses before you be able to win so participating in gambling is all about courage

Gambling is mostly about the experience that matters most.  Because from the past time a gambler started this gambling and nowadays he can almost earn enough money in gambling. But is it possible for a new gambler, if you mentioned then of course I would say experience is the most useful.  However, one must avoid becoming addicted to gambling, because if a gambler becomes addicted to gambling, he will eventually face losses.  Because addicts can't always bring good results in gambling, because if he faces loss then he will face loss again and again because he will try hard to win but can't win.

Gamble for profits? It's actually one of the unreliable means to depend on earnings, there's more legit way to generate profits from the world but sticking to gambling will not help. We're in control of ourselves and we're the only one that will bring in the required services to make our solid plans work positively. Gambling will end up causing great harm for those that have failed to reach the estimated targets.

I really do enjoy and agree with your text, the main point for gambling are inconsequential especially on the long run but your reason for gambling can be a map on how your gambling journey would be, if a person gamble as a source of income he would be a more frequent gambler than someone who just tries his luck once in months while and reasons acn change as some don't even have a view or reason to gamble at first and it all changes with time.

The main point for gambling is that a gambler must be free from the tendency to be over greedy and must not be over greedy whatever he does. If the main point of gambling is risk, one of the main reasons for a gambler's loss is being overly greedy. Gamblers must be careful that gambling is always a source of entertainment and never one of the main means of making money. This makes a gambler psychologically unfit and due to excessive greed later leads to family disorder as well as mental disorder.

True, but it is very difficult, because addiction does not occur immediately, and the gambler may not feel the bad influence of gambling.
He may not know about addiction at all, because you or I have been warned, and we will always be on the lookout. And many people do not even listen to their inner state, and do not analyze how much more gambling has become more attractive to them.
At the same time, I want to say that a lot depends on the character of the player and his past.

It is true, not all compulsive gamblers are not only from the poor who enter into gambling, but if you look at it all in general or on average, maybe you will see which gamblers come from which circles, I myself took into account from an area and only a few capable or rich people gamble while it is dominated by people who are in the lower class.

And indeed it is unrealistic if the goal is money, someone hopes to get money from gambling with a large amount of capital with a small capital and without spending a lot of energy is certainly an impossible thought if we think to get money, only lucky people can get it, I doubt even everyone has the same luck, especially when they play with the house.
Just understand that the essence of gambling is entertainment and is a place to spend money.

In particular, since technology has become more sophisticated, gambling hype has become a trend since casinos have penetrated the online world. So it's natural that many people are interested in gambling, either because they see friends playing, advertising, or even many other factors. some are just trying because they are curious, quite a few are interested because they can get money instantly or they just want to try. Quite a few have become habits, which at first were just for fun, but ended up being a hobby. For this reason, many gamblers, especially beginners, don't really care to understand what you said. especially, if we talk about systems. To be sure, not all gamblers understand that. all they know is to play and have fun, regardless of winning or losing. Based on this scenario, not a few become addicted and vice versa, some of them are not suitable for gambling games. In short, some gamblers will learn based on their gambling experience. They will always try to correct any damage that occurs, whether it is due to losing a lot in betting, neglecting working hours and various other things. if someone uses their wits, they will fix it by applying some rules so they don't experience the same problems. Also, the avoidance is worse than before. some others, don't realize it and continue to play according to their emotions and desires. IMO, gambling is not like the crypto world, where one has to know the basics before actually getting involved. gambling is easy, deposit then play. there are two possibilities, win or lose, it's that simple. It is only after someone has experienced a lot of experience, either losing or always suffering defeat, that they will try to find out how the gambling mechanism works. In essence, it is very rare for someone to first learn how the gambling system works before they start getting involved.

When it comes to self control and awareness then each person does have that different level or threshold on how they would really be dealing up with things on which not all would really be that good when it comes to control and this is why we do see some people do end up on getting addicted and there are ones who are still that good when it comes to their gambling activity just because they've been wary on the situation that they are into and making use of the funds which are really just that extra. So, situations would really be that different to each other because not all would really be having that the same control as i say.,
The main points of gambling is to have fun but for those business owners perspective then it is something that generates money or profit for them on giving out that fun to people but of course
they would really be always having the upperhand.  :D

No one knows the main points of gambling, and those points are definitely non-existent. Gambling merely relies on luck; if fortunate, one can win big, but if unsuccessful, they lose what they wagered.

At the beginning of your sentence, you mentioned, "I noticed that people nowadays don't really know their main points in gambling," as if you know the main points of gambling. However, at the end of the sentence, you also inquire about significant losses, which should no longer be a question but rather a solution. This is called addressing a problem without a solution.

The main point of gambling is for fun,the earlier gamblers get to know the main point of gambling the rate of losses is reduced.Gambling isn't a source of income that a gambler should depend wholly on.Many gamblers have been addicted to gambling as a result of the main aim of gambling was misunderstood.I tried explaining to a gamble addict and I told him to find something doing and not to depend on gambling as a source of income,that from his income he can gamble 5% of his income for fun and entertainment.

Prize, prize, prize... that's the only thing that comes to mind for many people who start gambling these days.

As for the amount they bet, they usually start with a low amount in order to test and get to know the games and the casino. Over time, they gain confidence, or else they get angry/disappointed with their losses, thinking that "something" is wrong, and sometimes the wrong thing is the low bet, so they bet more and more.

Risk is the last of the main points they learn. Sometimes they never learn and blame their losses on "bad luck" or say that they "got ripped off", but under no circumstances do they assume that the risk of losing money has always been more present than the chances of winning.

Anyway... nowadays there are many ignorant and unprepared people in gambling, influenced by the explosion of marketing or by the influence of some friends who were lucky enough to win a considerable amount of money.

Most gamblers who lose money (usually gambling addicts) gamble because of the influence of their environment, they don't understand that the real purpose of gambling is to have fun because the lack of literacy about gambling means that instead of making a profit, they lose money slowly and even over time. very fast. There are many active gamblers who are not good at managing emotions and finances, so don't be surprised if you see a gambler who is willing to take on debt as gambling capital.

The essence of gambling is to make money,and to make more money.To make more money in the sense that,we all know that human being are insatiable,and when we have tried to make money,we are never always contented with the one we have,there is this urge that usually comes in us to make more money,and that is where the greed comes in.
This who have made money already,that is the rich,they still find time to gamble so as to make more money, because they have that fear of being broke.No one wants to be poor,I mean,no one likes poverty,that is why people try their possible best to be rich,and one of the way one tried to be rich is through gambling.

The only thing I've seen in most gamblers are those who are just jealous of those who won the jackpot in gambling, and others are jealous because their friends often win gambling.

So from another angle, the point of gambling is really just to attract people to gamble and for others to think that it's easy to make money and win gambling.
That's how I see it.

Gambling is seen by many people in different ways and one of the dangerous ways is when you think you can probably earn or make a living through it and some of the reasons why some persons have this mentality is because they were introduced into the act through the wrong mentality and when that happens it's all gonna be disaster for you especially if you always moved to try every other time to see if the winning is gonna come.

Sometimes I can say that having a record with your gambling habits can have both negative and positive result especially when you don't have control over yourself when spending but if you have control over the rate of high spending on gambling then keeping the record can make you feel a little desperate especially when you have seen the value and amount lost is huge.

This is bad for the gamblers. If there are many gamblers who have the same nature, there will be more addicts. Those people who become jealous, they will try harder to win the jackpot as well. I guess they will be more often to play gambling because they dream to win it as well. They don't know if there is no guarantee to win the jackpot although we gamble more often. At the end of the day, the gamblers may lose all their money and be addicted because they become too serious in gambling. Honestly, the nature of this type of gamblers must be avoided by us.

I don't understand your point. But gambling just offers the chance to earn money and for getting the entertainment. They actually don't attract people to join, people sometimes join it because of their own intention. Anyway, people who think to win money easily in gambling, I think they don't really know what gambling is.

It is true that a lot of gamblers in the industry are gambling for the aim of making money and doubling their finances but if we are being honest here, gambling is not the proper place to seek for income. Any gambler that sees gambling as a best opportunity to make money may end up to lose and become broke because the opportunity  of winning in gambling is not consistent. Losses incurred by gamblers is greater that winning archived.

While some others are saying that it is truly for fun. Well, both are correct and depending on the aim of the gambler. But to be honest, most of us are for the money and having fun is just secondary.

A gambler knows that.

But even so, many of us are trying to prove ourselves that we can make money with gambling. I've made some but also lost some.

Those that are full time on it, there's no question about their legitimacy that they make money out of it.

The main point of gambling is, People should gamble for entertainment, it'll make a gambler happy while their favorite team win as well as a gambler also earn some money due to he bet on his favorite team. If anyone gamble for making money, then he should stopped gambling cause gambling is risky and uncertain. There's no surety. OP you mentioned 3 elements to be present but i found consideration and risk are major factor for gambling. A gamble should know how to manage or fix his gambling budget and how to manage the risk. Otherwise they'll be in problem although losses are also common thing in gambling and a gambler should admit it before place bets or start gambling

Not everyone can think of gambling as a place where they look for entertainment and maybe there are some people who can think that of course they will not spend a lot of their money on gambling and they can know when is the right time to gamble and also usually they don't spend too much of their money for gambling of course this would be better, when someone gambles to get money from the gambling they play of course this is not very good because they will be lazy to do work which makes them have financial problems and when they have money of course the first thing all they will do is to gamble.
By limiting the funds that we will use for gambling, of course this will never make us spend a lot of time gambling and this can prevent us from becoming addicted to gambling and also from large losses in gambling.

As a gambler who doesn't intend being controlled by emotions and want to have real fun, you should behave as though the third element (prize). Does not exist. Every real gambler who has proper control over the other two has little or nothing to worry about in his gambling life.

First control the amount of money dedicated to gambling by having a gambling budget and staking what you can afford to loose and by such doing you reduce the risks of a terrible loss. Prizes can come anytime. The main aim is to have real fun in gambling.

If people can gamble for entertainment, they should not chase the wins from gambling. They can only have fun from gambling without thinks about the wins because that will helps them prevents the will to continue playing gambling. They don't have to try to make money from gambling as that will not easy and will gives them more risks to lose their money. A gambler should know how much money he use to playing gambling and will use limitation to playing gambling. He knows that he must prevents the lose not to becomes bigger by always use moderation and limitation his gambling activity. He must know how to manage the risks so he will not lose much money and can have fun from playing gambling.

Gambling is an extremely complex activity and yet risky. But there are a lot of main points that we can do to address the issue which for me is really a "must do".
For example, proper education - increasing awareness about the probabilities, risks, or odds.
Another is setting limits - where this will help you to prevent excessive losses.

Since we are different people, it is natural that our gambling strategies will be different. Some people always say that they gamble just for fun, there are some people who consider gambling as an alternative way of earning money and there are some gamblers who consider gambling as their profession. I think to those who say gambling is just entertainment then why do they regret these things when they lose gambling. The main thing is that when it comes to gambling, everyone has a specific objective which is to win by gambling. We never like to lose we always want results to go our way. But those who are real gamblers take it as a matter of course that they lose in gambling because if one wins in gambling then he must lose.
