Over the time, I’ve seen several post, by users here who, claim that gambling is strictly for fun, even when one is making losses and I’ve paused to ask this question “Is there actually any fun in gambling especially when the losses are more than the winnings?”
Let’s be frank, there are several other things one can do for fun aside gambling and I understand that life it’s own is a risk but seeing claims that people see gambling as fun even when making losses is weird and I think it’s worth discussion as to know if truly people gamble strictly for fun without minding if they’re losing or winning

It is not that a fun if you are losing and not winning. But if I win and lose, it is fun for me and that is what that is happening and I do not consider  if I win more or lose more. That is me.

What about you? You need to ask yourself this question. What makes you to be gambling? The reason for most people is to earn money. If such people are losing they will not find gambling as fun while losing.

Well, many people like taking risks and I guess that is where the fun factor comes from. By risking their money and feeling those different emotions between winning and losing.
It's not fun to lose, that I am sure of. I experienced a losing streak before in both casino games and sports betting and I can tell I am stressed after I saw my results. The fun factor comes while you are only playing the game or the sport that you love is starting because of excitement.
In casino games, it's different. I play Keno and Plinko most of the time and I think the fun part is when I see that ball in Plinko near falling at the highest multi-win either in 14 lines with x420 or in 16 lines with x1000 multi.
In the end though, after playing for hours, if I see a green graph I can happily sleep, but when I see a red, I just want to continue and take back whatever amount was taken from me. I think that's the sad part when you gamble, the chasing losses mode where you are too desperate to get back what was taken from you.
The only fun comes from the winning moments.

Of course not, when you lose you will be a little disappointed, but when you play does it count as having fun?

For me there is nothing strange, when you play gambling with ready to lose, it means that it is for fun, right, not thinking about losing or winning we must be able to feel how fun it is, from some of course when you lose there must be those who feel disappointed including myself, but I will not bother because I know the initial goal is for fun not looking for profit.

So I say again, there is nothing fun about losing, but you have to know that gambling is for fun not thinking about winning because this is a form of luck that does not know when to win big.

     -   If my only intention was to be happy gambling and just have fun, I felt that if I was enjoying it, it would be okay for me to lose. And if I win despite my entertainment, my happiness will only increase, that's all.

Maybe the only thing that won't make you happy when you lose gambling is that you didn't meet your expectations of winning money from gambling, so the result is that you will really feel depressed and regret the money you lost.

In general, gambling is for fun, but it didn't say that there's fun in losing. You are not a normal person if you have fun when losing in gambling since most people would not be happy losing, but a responsible gambler knows how to accept losses and move on, and in the end would just say, "It's okay, at least I have fun".

If gambling is fun, you spend money to have fun, but if you win, consider it your bonus, or just being lucky, becuase if you think like you just found the formula of winning and get curious to try to make consistent profit, that's when gambling is not fun anymore, at least most of the time.

From the on set, I never saw gambling as fun until someone got to explain to me what really makes gambling fun. It's just like playing your favorite sports or games in real life, but the difference is that you stake money in order to make more money, and you play these games because you just want to play and have fun; hence, you gamble and have fun at the same time. But when you're losing this gamble, it will no longer be fun because you are losing. Just playing without staking is fun; staking and winning is fun, but when you begin to lose, the fun is no longer there because you feel some anxiety to get what you've lost, where gambling is no longer fun.

Though there is this illusion that has been created in this gambling section that gambling as a whole is fun, it is only fun when you are winning, so if you aren't winning, then it's no fun. 

This depends on how you see gambling, if you see gambling as a means of making profit, when you are losing, it will hit you hard but when you see it as fun, you wouldn't mind when you lose. This is why it is advice to use only the amount that you can afford to lose, so that when you lose, it wouldn't be a burden to you. Imagine when you give out money to little children, that money means nothing to you. Same with gambling, when you use such money, you will enjoy the game because either you are lose or win, you are fine with the outcome.

I am a sport bet fan, when I am watching my matches after staking my bets, I enjoy the game and not the money that I use to stake, and if it happens that my prediction was wrong, I wouldn't be angry especially if my club is playing, I will get angry that they could not win the match and not that I lost. I have even start understanding how to control my emotions when my club win so that I can put myself on the ease mood.

I think gambling is for fun when we are winning and winning more often then losing, because i get frustrated when I see the announcement of "WIN".
It is more fun when we lose and win but win should be higher then those losses but it's happen very less or when we start our gambling session, it feels fun in starting but after sometimes when we lose it get frustrating.
it's more fun when we play with friends or a community on one table, or offline casinos are bet where we can enjoy even when losing.

I don't think anyone will be fun with the losses they experienced. Maybe for lossing a small nominal according to each of them (because this small amount can be different for each player), they will consider losing money as if the money fell on the street. For me personally I haven't found any fun from gambling except winning. LOL

Therefore, I myself don't think gambling is for fun, but to try to find luck, sometimes hoping to win. Maybe my level is too low to be able to consider gambling as fun. But I remain responsible with every result I get, whether winning or losing.

Gambling definitely has wins and losses, so when I gamble I lose myself but recently I have won in gambling. When I become more addicted to gambling, the chances of losing are higher, so I use a strategy to divide my money into two parts. And when I win I keep the money and when I lose I stop gambling when my balance is exhausted. Such strategies can lead to gambling wins. When I lose, I get very disappointed.

Yes, basically playing gambling to have fun, but gambling that is carried out continuously certainly has such a serious impact. And at this time in Indonesia there are almost 250.7 thousand
Online gambling transactions with a total value of Rp2 trillion which will increase every year. This is not only detrimental to yourself but there are also several aspects that are also disadvantaged in online gambling that have a negative impact. The most significant negative when doing online gambling is that the economy is unstable. Addicted to online gambling will spend a lot of money and make finances continue to be unstable until finally many people prefer to borrow money to banks, or other online loans. And there are many other negative impacts that have a gambling game.

Define your losses please before talking about fun, because the last time I gamble I use as little as $5 and my monthly income depends on numbers of customers, I earn from $300 to $550, this doesn't include how much I earn online too, what could $5 do to me that will rob me of my fun?

Why are you gambling? It can't be for the fun of it, I agreed, but it's a big part, anyone who is a fan of football knows the thrill of watching a game, even if you bet $1 it's going to be a fun match even if you lose the money, because you can afford more than the amount.

If you are gambling to make money you are on the bad side of everything, no fun or entertainment will feel like in your eye, because all you have in mind is to make money and sorry to say, that gambling isn't wired to give people some good income.

Gambling is indeed fun mostly when the cash you bet is something you can risk losing that when you get the real fun relaxing watching the game. But when gambling with your hard earns or some thing you can't risk in other to get something extraordinary in return at that moment I  don't gambling will be fun in such. Because you be tense and having this  fear of losing that valuable thing you staked when the others are busy enjoying the game having the mindset of either they win nor lose doesn't matters aslong it was fun. While you be busy thinking,  it most be a win and through that tense moment you won't be able to enjoy the game.

I agree with what you said. Let me assume that I earn $500 in a month. From the $500, it is said and advised that people should use 1% to gamble. If I gamble with 1% of my money earned that month, that is just $5. If I lose all the $5, I will still enjoy the games while gambling. It is just that most people do not gamble to have just fun, they also need to earn money from it. If they are earning money, they are happy but if they are losing, they are not happy. Looking to earn money from gambling is not advised.

It is the reaction to losses in the casino that determines the player's condition at the moment. If he loses even a small amount, he gets very angry and swears. If he closes himself off from his family and nervously and secretly constantly walks with his phone, then these are the first indicators of an Incorrect gambling Attitude. If a person gambles to get good emotions, and does not consider gambling as earnings, then he is preparing in advance for a loss. When he makes a deposit at the casino, he mentally says goodbye to the money. And this is the right attitude.

The first thing a gambler should know is to always use your spare cash to gamble or money you can afford to lose (just as in a risky investment).

When you use money that’s meant for something else all you would be thinking of is how to not lose that money to gambling, but if its something that even when you lose you won’t feel a thing you’ll so much enjoy that session, a lot of people you see sitting at their desk trying to derive a method that will guarantee their wins always engage with money that they are not ready to lose or can’t afford to lose that’s why you see them overhauling themselves.

I have experienced both when I used my spare cash and when I used money that was meant for something else but fortunately for me I didn’t loss that latter but the experience I had was not something I would want someone else to have.

Gambling goes beyond the joy of winning or the agony of losing. The adrenaline rush, uncertainty, and challenge! Can losing be fun? Absolutely! The process is exciting, not the result. A mindset game, I say. Those who enjoy gambling despite losses embrace risk and reward, an example of life. Life is a gamble, and they're gambling at the tables or slots.

We shouldnt be naive. Not everyone shares this view. Losses hurt financially and ego-wise for some. Failure is what people perceive, not entertainment. This perceptual divide is essential. They find gambling intimidating and regrettable.

Gambling is entertaining beyond winning or losing. The emotional rollercoaster, anticipation, and strategy matter. Note that not everyone is affected. Some take a joyous risk, others a regrettable one. Perspective is what makes it a worthwhile debate. The key? Be aware of your boundaries and gamble sensibly.

Fun doesn't mean we lose, it's fun, the fun here is where we get the jackpot in my opinion. Especially when it comes to sports and esports betting, while supporting the club we love we can also experience real victory plus we get betting wins with it. That's what I mean by having fun when playing gambling.

There is no fun in losing at all and it’s not just in gambling but in everything man does but this perception will vary between people because there are those who are not fixated on their wins. Some see gambling as a profit making game while some see it as a game for fun but even at that when you lose there more often there will be no fun at all.

When I gamble I always assume my money is gone already even though I expect a win from my prediction and i don’t feel bad about losing because I expect a loss just as much as i expect a win so in that context i will say I gamble for fun but if i really want to have fun while spending money they are other things i will rather opt for than to gamble. Losing money in gambling is not fun but it still depends on how the person takes it.

The process itself is sometimes fun. Granted if you've been playing dice for like an hour you won't exactly find any fun there (heck even 5 minutes is too much if you're only losing) so it really depends from time to time. Even poker itself is fun, at least for me even if I lose. Especially in instances where there's an insane pair in someone's hand and I just get destroyed because of my dumb ass bluffing.

Other than that, well, there's also sports gambling. The process itself of watching the game itself is fun though but the gambling part? Well once you remember you lost you'd probably be mad quite a bit.

I certainly do not enjoy losing money; I don't think anyone does, even if you're well-off. Tons of emotions are going through your body during gambling: anxiety, anticipation, stress, joy, etc. It's an emotional roller coaster. You enjoy the adrenaline and dopamine rush that's released and what's creating an euphoria feeling, especially if you're winning.

There's a saying that says to enjoy the journey, not the destination. I think of gambling that way; you don't enjoy losing money, but you enjoy the process of making bets, losing, then eventually winning, then losing again, and so on. It's a vicious cycle; sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, similarly to life. Whether we like it or not, usually, both in gambling and life, things don't go our way, and we have to improvise and pivot.

In my opinion, in general, gambling is a means of entertainment that is paid for, just like tourist attractions, where by paying we will get a sensation that can be felt, and gambling is also like that, but if you lose, in my opinion, of course this is not fun, sometimes it makes us annoyed, but after the defeat, it's all up to us where we have to be able to accept the defeat that occurred, not by depositing the money back when we get exhausted because we are annoyed with the defeat that occurred, because if that's the case, it's possible that the goal of the person who gambles is not to have fun, but to look for or pursue the victory they must obtain.

In my opinion, the good thing about people who gamble with the aim of having fun is that they probably don't mind the losses they get, when they lose they will immediately leave because if they continue it will cause their own problems. but the other side also definitely hopes to win but is not too obsessed with the victory that must be obtained, so in my opinion this is just about thinking differently about gambling. If you respond wrongly to gambling, there will be a disaster. If you respond to gambling properly, then it is likely that everything will be fine.
and obviously there are many other things that are more fun, but in my opinion this is about different thoughts, therefore each person has their own fun.

The only thing that I can think where it's fun when you're losing is when you've lost to something extraordinary that you can't even be mad that that's how things turned out. One example would be playing poker, you're on a one on one bluffing match with another player and you think that's they're bluffing and so you end up risking it all to scare them on the river but then they end up not bluffing and that you're the one that's fallen for their trap, you can't be mad at that because it's skills and mind games that made you do that and it's also a learning moment for you, that could be a factor to consider too when we want to consider losing as fun, you learn something from that loss.

If you are gambling for fun alone and not for profit, then it's possible that you can still have entertainment despite losing some. Although for sure disappointment will be felt along the way. But you can easily shrug it off because you don't mind about it so much unlike other people. It will just be a bonus and a reward if you will win. And of course, the joy will be unmeasurable if you will win in betting. Feeling ecstatic because of winning will hit different. After all, who wouldn't want to win if there's a chance right?

Gambling will be fun and satisfying if you got in because you just want to release your stress and achieve cheap dopamine by just betting and playing, regardless of the outcome.

I have fun while playing. The explanation is like this; when I play pragmatic play on Gates of Olympus, for example in free spins when the win is big but Zeus doesn't raise his wand to give multiplication. Likewise when playing the Starlight Princess game.
Therein lies the excitement and pleasure that I get even though later my balance will not be enough to continue.

Every time a defeat occurs, no one feels happy. In my opinion, the pleasure obtained in gambling games depends on how the player enjoys the game being played.
My pleasure lies in the explanation I mentioned above.

Maybe some of us or at least a very few of us gamble for fun but I gamble to win not for pleasure. Pleasure gambling I think is for millionaires that have so much money that they don't care how much they lose. Accumulating losses in gambling will also accumulate stress and problems so there's no fun in there.

i use to believe also that gambling is just for fun but overtime I realized specially when I become a
Online casino player and yes gambling is not just about having fun but also having plans and praying to win and please
let us not be hypocrite and admit what is true to the gambling world.
and also stupidity to listen saying they only gamble for fun and accepting as a loser like that.

Financial loss is not fun for anyone no matter how rich the person is. It is true that gambling is a fun thing but here everyone has an objective to win and no one expects to lose.  When one can win in gambling it is happy for him on both sides on one side he won the game on the other side he won some money. So losing the entire gambling time will not be fun for anyone.a Again only Win is boring. Gambling is most fun when there are both wins and losses.

If you are expecting to win in gambling and not expecting to lose, gambling is not for you and it is better not to gamble. Because in gambling, gambling sites are doing things in a way for people to lose than gain. That is why you will see them able to pay their workers and also getting richer and better. Gambling should just be for fun.

To individuals gambling for entertainment, they don't look at the losses they're getting when they're gamble. They're only gambling as they want to entertain themselves. Some individual diprive pressure from the tension that gambling gives. When they wager their money they get more value for the entertainment they'll be receiving and sometimes they win while other times they lose but what's constant is that they're enjoying the games they're gambling on.

There's no fun in losing so when you're gambling to make money and you notice that you're not winning but always losing then you have to stop gambling or you'll lose all the money you have. Gambling should be for entertainment and not for the purpose of making money. When you make money that becomes a bonus but try to enjoy the game you're playing as a form of entertainment.

It is, casinos are entertainment platforms whether they are online or offline, if you check their TOS and what's on their license it says they are an entertainment platform
so gamblers who treat gambling as entertainment are just stating the fact, things go wrong when you treat gambling as a platform where you can make money.

You have fun watching a movie and you're paying money to watch a movie so does gambling, the only difference between the two is you have an opportunity to make money but you should not force it, if the opportunity to make money then grab it, when you are gambling you should only play with money that you can afford to lose or money that you can allocate for entertainment.


It's not that you are supposed to lose in gambling but human loves challenges, much more mental challenges and this is something gambling is offering, you can lose or you can win and as a responsible gambler, you should have fun and accept losses and welcome winnings, if you understand this you are safe in gambling.

It's somewhat tricky though, as what we have been preaching, "gamble what you can afford to lose", and that you will be ok. However, what if you continue to experience a losing streak? If might not be fun anymore as you might have piled big money on gambling already. But I have seen others though in landbase casinos, group of friends, maybe with a couple of drinks and just having fun betting on a slot games with minimum bet and you can see that they are really enjoying it. So maybe there's really that side of gambling that anyone can play and then enjoy it with your family or closest friends.

only non gamblers use to believe that  gambling is just for fun and even losing is also a funny thing .
 Gamblers knows that they will losing money , and that is never be a fun so lets admit that and this is reality .

don't be stupid to believe this is all for fun .

In gambling, you're not supposed to react the result of your bet.

If you judge anything based on the result, then you will doing anything except work until you die.

"I should study instead of playing games, study make me to increase an opportunity to get better job than wasting my times.
"I should invest all of my money instead of buy a new clothes"
"I should keep my money instead of donating to needy people"

This is what your life when you trying to protect all of your money and make sure you're in profit.

I've read posts like this before and I always wonder what such users want to say. There are three reasons why you gamble. Firstly, you try your luck because you don't have a lot of money at the moment and you want to try to make a lot out of a little. But the probabilities speak against it. Secondly, you have too much money and don't know what to do with it. When you're bored, you simply gamble with it in the casino. For most people it actually doesn't matter whether you win or lose, simply because they don't care about the money. Third, you're addicted. Then it's an addiction, but certainly not fun. In the end you usually lose either way, unless you are actually very lucky.

Not sure what to say but I will never enjoy while losing instead this turns me irritating and angry most of the time because for me losing will takes place when I am not with luck and it is frustrating to learn that yeah I have no luck then.

well said, those who mostly calls gambling as a enjoyable place and losing is part of it then that is completely  non gamblers , because we gamblers knows how it will hurt when we go home or stand from the table as loser.

Basically everyone has the freedom to choose about what can make them feel happy and that includes choosing gambling as an activity to give them pleasure. What the OP said is true that in fact there are still very many other things that can also provide pleasure without any risk in it, such as maybe doing other activities such as playing online / offline games that do not have the risk of losing anything, but the problem is that everyone has the freedom to choose, and about whether the activity is really fun or not I think for that question it goes back to each individual to answer it because those who can really feel the benefits of what pleasure they get from their gambling activities.

For the issue of whether they will feel happy when in a losing situation I think this is suspicious, although the goal is only for fun but I'm sure all gamblers will feel a little upset if they end up losing money. That's why we should put an amount that we can afford to lose no matter the outcome. For the idea of why gambling should be said to be a place of entertainment indirectly it is to change the mindset of the gambler himself so as not to be too excessive and carried away, as we know that in gambling there are so many temptations that are certainly vulnerable to us and many cases occur where slowly and unconsciously we go further into gambling. I think for the problem of the idea of pleasure when the situation loses is nothing but to minimize our own emotions.

Nobody wants to be a loser here but it is certain that in every game, there must be a winner and there must be a loser. That is how games were designed. If it were possible that every game you play, you must definitely win  but that is not the case in gambling.

Gambling is designed for fun. Although there are people out there who take it for earning and some take it as a game for fun but notwithstanding, it is advisable that one should only use their spare cash or make budget for their gambling so that if it happens that they record losses, they would not be alarmed as they are not worried about the budget they put up for gambling.

Actually, there is no fun in losing games but you should know that once you sign up as a gambler you are ready to take and accept it as it is whether you do win or record losses.

This depends on your perspective as a gambler and the goal on why you are playing in the first place.

• If you gamble for fun and entertainment in order to feel the adrenaline kicking in high-risk bets, then you may view losing as part of the process; WHEREAS
• If you gamble primarily for profit and gain, then losing would most likely definitely feel less fun due to the stakes involved.

Personally, it definitely sucks when you lose regardless of the situation. I mean, c'mon, who likes losing in the first place? Though this may be the case, I do think that there are gamblers who think that losing is just part of the game where it occurs naturally which makes it more interesting and risky.

Fuck losing,,,, I can never be Happy while losing my hard earned money in gambling..... That's shit man,,, however, it is just a question but I can say that on one can be happy to see his or her money wasting just like that.
I don't think there is any fun there, to my own understanding, if one is winning in gambling that's when the fun fully starts. But if one is losing, the person will not be happy to see him or her losing lose money.
Moreover, it depends on the percentage the gambler is losing on, like if the gambler is losing 80% our of 100% there is not fun there but if the gamblers is losing 10% out of 100% then I might consider it to be a fun. Having fun in gambling is when your winnings are very much higher than your losing.

Whenever someone continuously losing that is not fun anymore so there is no need gambling to me I will say such person should paused for awhile and check themselves to know if they are actually making profit or overtime to draw a statistics about their profits and lose then he should decide to hold off or still continue gambling for the meantime.
I can't pretend to be making profits while I do run into loses, the best is to quit and have little rest maybe looks for another thing to have fun instead gambling and saying is for fun why is not.

It can't be fun while you lose your money but it can be fun when you lose on a stupid mistake or something funny that happened during that game. Per example ,  I had Sheffield to win and they were down 1-0 , then managed to comeback and had a 2-1 and I was already happy but also in doubt and after all this , they managed to score 2 own goals in a couple of minutes and lost 3-2. So yea , this is an example of funny betting in my opinion as I can't be mad on a clown fiesta game ...because let's be honest , how many times you bet on a game and that team scores 2 own goals ? I mean ...it was funnier per moment but after that , pure clown fiesta game.

Nobody likes losing in whatever they do and like wise in gambling as well I don’t really know for others but as for me I gamble for the money not for fun as others claim. I gamble responsibly even though my purpose is to win i don’t let the mindset of winning always get the best of me and i am not addicted to gambling. There is no fun in losing and when i lose i get frustrated and always want to correct any mistake i made while gambling.

I don't think anybody will say losing money is fun in any way, whether in gambling or in other ways. What makes gambling fun is that when you are losing, someone else is also winning. Even if winning is not on the same level as losing, the winning should just keep happening, even once in a while. and it is still possible to keep losing in gambling, which can still be fun, like when someone uses a very low amount that means nothing to him or her. Like me now, I have been gambling since the beginning of the season. I have not had any wins, and I am keeping betting every day despite losing every day. I see it as fun because I am not betting a with reasonable amount. 

Loosing money? is no fun mate. in fact, it's the worse feeling a gambler can ever have, it's true gambling is a fun activity but, Lossing only make that fun go away. Just imagine you having a 10 strike win and then suddenly you just experience one loss, that feeling would just kill the fun. However loosing in gambling is the basic reason why most persons turn to irresponsible gamblers. The zeel to come back wining after experiencing some loss would get you addicted and then become irresponsible gambler if you don't have self control.

As long as they can accept the results of gambling and do not experience stress or frustration due to their losses, they will not feel anything. The pleasure they get from gambling is when they feel comfortable playing gambling. Even if they lose, they will say it's okay because losing is normal in gambling. Next time, I will get lucky and win some money. If they can get pleasure from enjoying their time gambling, they don't even feel that the loss they experience is something to regret and that's because they gamble with the money they can afford. By gambling with the money you can afford, you realize that you can't expect anything from gambling and realize that the money you lost is truly lost and difficult to get back. You must remember not to use money that will be used for your benefit but rather free money that is not used for anything. Think of it as money that can be lost at any time.

It is an experience and not bound by surrounding prejudices. Personally, I find gambling fun but it is only a small part of life. It does not mean spending most of my time just playing chess silver. Many people do the same, and many others do not achieve that state. Initially, the personal perspective that it is possible to win/lose through betting is only a small perspective in the entire field of gambling, I can mention the example of offline casinos where I go there to feel the vibrant atmosphere and that brings joy.

Maybe everyone has their own way of feeling about this field and joy is not the same. What we are talking about is an unclear generality, but it is really what everyone is looking for. It's not an excuse for uncontrollable behavior, going back is still responsible behavior for what you create.

It wasn't fun anymore if we kept losing and it was a common reaction because we already thing that every bet we made always win.
FUN doesn't just literally mean that we are happy when losing, it just means that we don't regret it if ever it happens to us because in our mind win or lose, we'd still enjoy the time gambling. But if your goal of why you are betting/gambling heavily is meanly to hit the jackpot and become rich, even if you win, you'd still never feel happiness.

Even when you lose, gambling is entertaining! Winning isn't the only thrill; play, risk, and adrenaline are. Gambling is a battle of wits and luck, not merely throwing chips on a table. Strategize, be patient, and occasionally just enjoy the unpredictability. Losing can hurt, but for many, it's just part of the fun. The journey, highs, lows, and storytelling of each game are more important than the financial outcome. Authentic gamblers know this. They're there for the experience, friendship, and exciting environment, not the winnings. Escapism, a leap into uncertainty and excitement. Fun gambling is that

There are better forms of fun. Who's to judge? Each everyone has their own fun. What excites one may bore another. Gambling is unusual in its combination of social contact, mental challenge, and risk. Not only the money, but the experience, memories, and stories. It's invaluable to many. Gamble for enjoyment, regardless of results. Journeys often outweigh destinations, and they can be very enjoyable

Nobody gambles to lose because we don't want to waste even a cent. I don't know about other gamblers, the reason I gamble is for fun but this doesn't erase my intention to make some money. Yesterday we played a friendly football match in my area and I was happy that we won the game. Although our main intention for playing was just for fun, I would have been disappointed if we lost. I think this can also be applied to my gambling activities. My main focus is to have fun but I will not celebrate my losses because I am expecting to win. But it is worth noting that even if I lose or win, I am entertained by gambling. This is why it is important that you only gamble with your spare cash. Simply put, I gamble with money that I would have spent on cigarettes, movies or alcohol.

That people make loses while gambling, do not eradicate the fun part in it as a whole, because the fun which gambling offers is a fun which comes with a reward and not just a mere fun, which I'm sure if it was a mere fun, everybody would have given up in it. Which is why when people keep having a series of losses, they keep gambling with the mindset they will someday win huge to recover all their previous expensive.  
However, the truth of the fact is that inasmuch as gambling exist, there will always be a winner and a loser, which could be either the gambler or the casino house, since in every game, one must lose for the other to win. But in a scenario whereby the user has a history of losses, and yet still gambling, maybe he is gambling on an amount he/she can afford to lose, while hoping to get lucky some day

We were talking about something similar in a different thread in this same subsection of the forum, and I agreed that some people have fun even when they lose in gambling, or better said, without the grief of losing one wouldn't enjoy winning at the same degree.

On the other hand, there are also masochists not only in the sexual field but in others too; I have sometimes thought about it: people who take too much drug, who are always looking for reasons to be angry or sad, who consume too much of anything... in the end it seems like they enjoyed that pain, as if they were motivated by some kind of seductive death drive.

While gambling one will not feel the pressure in the beginning because even if he loses he will think that he will win by re-betting thus he will start feeling the pressure when it is all over while playing for fun. Then there will be no use regretting that one has lost and the other has won. Now the winner will gamble again out of greed and the loser will gamble again out of grief for the lost money. The grief of money is a great grief so even though he loses a lot, he is addicted to gambling again today he thinks he will win. But he doesn't win anymore. This is why you should understand that you should not bet beyond your ability to have time. Do not attempt to recover lost money which has become a loss because there is almost no chance of recovering the money lost in gambling then it is no longer fun and turns into frustration.

Probably there's fun but I don't think I'll ever find one because I usually gamble alone and there's no one with me to share the joys and sorrows of gambling so I'm not that sure that I can find one when I'm gambling. Maybe when I try playing in physical casinos, maybe there I might find some fun in losing. There's really no fun to me when losing, it's kind of like playing in a sports and you're on the losing team, you really can't be laughing or having fun aren't you?

Without losing there would be no risk involved, and therefore no adrenaline rush (which is the thing that gamblers are really after, even if they do not know it themselves). And having that tiny chance of winning makes the victory taste even better.

But really, its all about that adrenaline kick, which is why people do risky things such as gambling or bungee jumping or parachuting. Why else would a human being with a healthy mind do such things?

If you gamble with tiny amounts of money and limit your daily gambling spending to a certain, negligible amount, then you will feel the same rush. That is how you gamble for fun. There is no point in betting large amounts of money.

I think there is a reason why each of us decides to gamble whenever we feel like it. Therefore, if any of us walks into a gambling shop expecting to win money or just have fun, he will respond in accordance with his expectations no matter what happens.

When a person visits a gambling shop with the intention of making money for himself, he or she will not find gambling fun if they lose. However, when a person gambles for fun alone, they won't feel guilty about their losses because they will only bet with money they can afford to lose.

I remember that I also stated that whether you win or lose the fun is the main goal, this may sound strange because losing usually causes frustration or depression which can state that the fun is not in the losing situation, it can be said that it is true if you gamble for money or victory, this will certainly provide mental pressure when you lose which sometimes triggers your emotions.

Some of what I can say is that the process of gambling makes me feel much more happy especially if it is with friends, it will be much more fun when we don't care about winning and losing, togetherness and laughter make it more valuable.

I think there is no fun in winning unless you are just doing it for fun once like with little budget. For some, the thrill of a small, occasional win with a modest budget might enhance the experience, especially if the primary goal is entertainment. But it's important to approach gambling with caution and be mindful of the potential risks associated with it, even when the stakes are lower.

There are two classes of financial status for people, the rich and the poor. The rich therefore may gamble for fun but not always but I don't think the poor gamble for fun. Overall, gambling is not for fun for the word of it strictly. If you are losing in a bet then you get angry so where has the fun gone to?

Many people have lost their lives because they took a gambling risk that didn't favour them and they took their lives. Some have cried and regretted their gambling action because they lost,  where is the fun?

If you have included money in your game, you are leaving the intent of the fun that was embedded in the game and now gambling on it, so strictly speaking, the taste of fun is out when you are losing but if you are winning you may have adrenaline push as having fun.

Maybe it's fun when you gamble with a very tiny amount which does not affect you in case you lose it. But if you take it as a profession or something for getting a nice return or something you depend on, this will not remain fun anymore.

So yeah if you play with funds you afford to lose, if you can control your gambling, if you are not addicted to gambling, you could have some fun even during the loss. :)

Well, no, I agree that there is not.

What happens is that gambling has an emotional component in that while you are losing you are looking for the rush that winning gives you and if you get it when you are on tilt you feel twice as excited. Gambling should be played as rationally as possible but we know that is not the case, and it is mainly the emotional ups and downs that get people hooked.

The fun of gambling is subjective. The adrenaline rush and uncertainty excite some. Losses aren't fun. They sting, hurt, and burn pockets and souls. A deeper layer exists. Belief, the desire for the unattainable, is at play. Gambling is more than a game of chance; it depitcs our desire to overcome odds. Gamblers dance with fate, not just money. Some find this dance with the unknown thrilling.

I believe there are better, more gratifying ways to be excited. Making gambling "fun" even when you lose is dangerous. A slippery slope generally leads to darker pathways. Entertainment should inspire, not trap. Keep gambling in check – a flutter, perhaps, but never a fall.

In fact, the size of the bet plays a role in gambling. If you play at the lowest stakes, then over time your emotions from winning will not be as bright as before, which is why people and increase the rate and lose more money than planned. A higher bet implies a higher risk and higher possible winnings. This is what makes us feel more vivid emotions.

Of course no one is happy when people have to lose money, especially if they lose large amounts of money in the gambling they do, it's just that gamblers know that this activity will definitely make them lose money, but because they have done it often, it may have become a habit. Is there anyone who can accept losing any amount of money and I don't think anyone is happy with that.

It is quite Complicated when it comes to discussing the problem of gambling by making the clamps of losing money trigger pleasure. Everyone certainly understands the risks when gambling and if it is just for fun then losing some money in gambling is not a big problem, because they know this activity is only done for fun. But on the other hand, people will feel annoyed if they have to lose at gambling and maybe they probably know that.

It can be fun when there are audience watching you, particularly in the table game poker or the real dice in a traditional casino. But doing it on online dice, will not be fun if you are losing.

There was this one time that I found it fun and this was because I was spending the TRX token while its price was just $0.02. I guess that's when I didn't see the price of this token to be going up. The rest could maybe also say its fun spending altcoins on casinos. If casinos are accepting memecoins that we got from airdrop, it may just be fun to spend them all there.

I don’t know how it works for the people you’re talking about, but I personally don’t experience the pleasure of gambling losses. Actually, because of this, I stopped any interaction with the casinos.

Gamblers need to somehow justify their senseless losses, right. That's why they say that they supposedly play for fun. These are stupid excuses for naive fools.

This has already been discussed several times. Active gamblers who continue to incur losses will claim to be gambling for fun, while inactive gamblers will claim to have previously gambled for profit.

No one wants to enjoy losing money in the same way that people love money. People dislike anything that reduces their wealth. When I bet, even if the chances are stacked against me, I am already planning how I will spend the money, and what you mention about all the emotions you feel at that time is extremely true. Not familiar with anything health so can not say anything about that. I just knows how it feels when the bet is still on going. And the reason why people enjoy putting bets is that there is a better chance for the bettor to win. Losing saddens a lot of individuals, but for some, it is an encouragement to win more money, and their friends will even urge them to play more. Different people Different gambling habits.

It totally depends on the person who is gambling and what is the reason they are gambling for. For those who gamble only for the money and wins, they will never be happy with any kind of loss. They will be more likely attached to it emotionally. For them losing while gambling will never be fun by any means.
On the other hand however, those who do it only for entertainment purposes only, losing or winning does not matter at all. They purely do it for the adrenaline rush. People like us who have different opinions about gambling will not understand the thrill that those people are having. Those who do it for the fun, only they knows what it truly is.

The only thing that I could have thought of when you say fun in losing while gambling is when you are having a bet with your friends, cause it's literally a bet for fun so whenever you lose or win, it could be a win-win situation for both of you like you are having a gambling with some information which could be either right or wrong. But if we were talking about gambling normally, seriously there is no fun in losing even in some other things. The fact that you are losing money ain't sound fun even if some say that there's a thrilling effect, you cannot deny that you are frustrated that your bet did not win. Even rich people don't like loss and would keep gambling cause they haven't won yet which is a satisfying feeling.

Gambling is a broad term and having fun could also mean different things. i.e. if you play poker with good friends with small stakes, you're almost guaranteed to have a good time due to the social element and bonding, disregarding whether you win or lose.
Similar to making a small-stake bet on a sports combination bet with a super-high payout rate and almost making it, it's probably more of a positive than a negative feeling.
But I agree that is not a healthy thing to be addicted to a dopamine rash from flashy games like slots and alike. A cold-headed approach is always advised.

Are you going to go to the cinema?
 Do you buy clothes?
 Do you drink Coca-Cola, beers?
 Do you go to the stadium while you can watch it on TV?
 You don't go to the pool because you bathe at home?
 Do you spend money to go to the beach?
 Do you pay for a hotel room?
 Do you eat in a restaurant?
 Do you spend hours and hours dedicated to streaming?
 Etc?

If it doesn't make sense to you, remove the signature, that's really something I don't understand.

Gambling usually involves both winning and losing. If a gambler is more addicted to gambling then there is definitely a chance of losing, a person addicted to gambling is never likely to win. I'm a gambler myself. When I gamble, I usually leave a place to rest, engage periodically. It's normal to be upset when you lose a gamble, and although it's not okay to express regret, I lost a lot of money when I was new to gambling and panicked. Yet if I lose at gambling, I sit anxiously.

Losing is not fun.
You learn more when you lose and it is a painful but serious learning. Anyone who enjoys losing in gambling must be a very strange person.
Imagine gambling with money that you can't afford to lose and then losing. What fun is there?

I think it depends on the gambler's motive for gambling. A gambler whose aim is solely to make money and nothing else will grieve alot about his losses. To him, there is no fun in gambling, it is all for business.  We cannot compare someone with this kind of mindset about gambling to a person who is not so serious about winning (though we cannot deny the fact that every gambler desires to win because that's the satisfaction we get from gambling). Friends can come together to gamble, make analysis and predictions on a particular game and wait for the outcome. Whether they win or not, they are having fun.



A gambler who gambles with the money he can't afford to lose is only being irresponsible. Why go extreme with gambling when you know clearly that gambling is a game of luck? We must also know that people spend alot to have fun and all this involves losing money.

There is no activity that you will intend doing for fun that will not require money, you will either spend money on drinks, or food, or spend money to enjoy and have access to some facilities. To gamblers who gamble for fun, they consider any amount lost as what they have spent to have some fun, and when you think of it that way, it answers your question.

So for the gamblers who you think should not be having fun gambling because they are loosing, they are actually having the fun in which they can be lucky and win back some of the money they have invested and spent in having fun. Some other fun activities do not offer that probability of a win back, you simply spend, and it is gone, money turned to memories.

If we were to remove the fact that we have several gamblers who are abusing the real purpose of gambling, gambling was invented as a recreational entertainment, it's something people should have fun doing regardless of whether money is lost or not, just consider going to the movies, you pay for a ticket to be allowed to watch a single movie right?, at the end of watching that movie, what exactly did you gain? Were you paid after watching the move? Did you learn anything new that could be of bnefit to you in any area of your life? The answer to this questions are mostly "no", but one question that has a "YES" as an answer is when you are asked if you were entertained, if you enjoyed watching that movie.

That is just same way it is with gambling, though gambling is better because even though you spend money same way you spend on movies, you have the opportunity of making that money back if you are lucky, unlike the movies where money spent is gone forever.

  Truly, different set of people see gambling in different ways. For some, it can be a means of expanding wealth although it doesn't work for everyone. While for some, after understanding the conditions of the whole game, they see it as a fun activity and loss incurred or not, they really don't bother themselves because they're just doing it to kill time and for leisure.
  Each one should know their purpose for gambling. Although I won't advise for gambling. Yes for expansion of income, one should note that not everytime will the outcome be in their favor, they even should expect more losses than gains and if they're not willing to accept the terms of the act, then they shouldn't go for it. I'd strongly suggest that gambling no matter the caliber of persons should be seen as fun as the expectations won't always be high and in situations that the expectation doesn't happen, it won't affect anyone.

I think that anyone should use a relatively small budget if their goal is just to have fun, although sometimes the session goes so fast when your budget is limited but I think it doesn't matter and everyone will definitely feel lucky enough to be in a situation where a small budget can be very likely to increase in size and that means your session can run for quite a long time which will also mean that there will be more fun that you find.
Making gambling a place to earn is a  dangerous mindset and point of view, after all the randomness that exists in gambling always makes it difficult for anyone to be able to get results consistently, it is too impossible except for occasional wins, and of course as you said no longer get pleasure but certainly a lot of pressure will be felt because the more often gamblers are involved the more often bad situations occur, because it is a business for casinos to profit from losing gamblers.

The approach of only using the  minimum possible funds is really recommended, because usually the inability to accept defeat when someone brings a large amount is always the main problem to fall further.

Well, yes especially if your bets are still in your financial tolerance; either you lose or win you will still be able to enjoy the game at least. Unlike with bets wherein you hope too much that it stresses you out already. It is always the amount of money involved which determines whether you would be okay with no matter the outcome is. I've experienced this to most of my bets in sportsbetting; I no longer bet that much. Most of the time I am just putting a bet if I have a great feeling of the match up or if I am wanting to embrace bigger risk. I'd bet a hundred bucks to my preferred team just for 'fun'. Well ofcourse I won't be happy losing that amount but at least I still have more and won't struggle with my daily expenses even after that. So yes it is still possible to have fun after a loss as long as you have the right mindset.
Then don't gamble. Why are you here in the first place? Yes it is understood that you want to earn profit but are there anything assured in this hobby of ours? If you are gambling an amount you cannot really afford losing then you are seeking for stressor. You'd be sad losing but point here is would you be depressed of that loss.  It would be wrong in the first place that you are expecting that success in gambling industry would be as easy as that.

I've said more than once that losing in gambling is as natural as winning. It is an integral part of gambling, so you need to learn to lose and not get depressed. Lose, stop, analyze what you could do wrong, rest for a week or two and only then you can gamble again. Besides gambling, I am also fond of trading, where losing trades are quite normal. The main thing is to follow your risk management and then everything will be fine.

we can't get rid of the feeling of being disappointments when we lose in something but if we look back, we had fun while doing it, it's just that we really expect something so when the thing we expect doesn't happen, it ends up in sadness, failures and self pity. Gambling is made for entertainment and one way of gaining profits, It has a double purpose to a person and It's up to you what will you prefer to prioritize? Gaining profit or having fun?

As someone who gambles for fun, I would like to answer this question. Yes, gambling is a form of fun for me but I cannot deny that I always think about the possibility of making big winnings when I gamble. Although, as I mentioned, I think about the possibility of making big winnings when I gamble, I can easily say that I never get upset when I consume my entire balance since I always gamble with an amount that I wouldn't be upset about if I lost, depending on my budget.

Matches left to the last minute in sports betting, the excitement of the roulette wheel spinning, the adrenaline I release when I approach 21 and ask for a card and the spin of slot machines have never been more than a form of fun for me. As I mentioned, when I gamble I play knowing that the chances of a big win are very low and I just have fun with the excitement of this process.

It wouldn't be wrong to say that gambling is fun for me because I gamble regularly but in a way that doesn't strain my budget and I never run out of balance and then gamble again like an addict.

I think if you take gambling too seriously it will be detrimental to yourself.  I do have fun gambling even when I lose.  Putting a small amount of money on a sports game makes it real fun to watch and be able to cheer for one side when you otherwise wouldn't have watched the game.  Key is knowing you can lose the money and be OK with that.  Not saying it's not better to win but I use gambling as a form of entertainment.

It’s not fun to lose your hard earned money but then again, its like buying things for you to make money since gambling is more about losses and there’s no guarantee to make profit at all. Gamblers have to accept that if you gamble, your chance of losing are high so better to enjoy the moment than to stress yourself about winning because it will always depend on your luck.

No expectation leass to nothing to lose, this applies here. Losing can lead to disappointment is a realistic aspect of any competitive or uncertain activity. It's a natural human response to feel upset when expectations are not met, especially when one invests time, effort, or resources into something with the hope of achieving a desired outcome. This emotional response is not exclusive to gambling but extends to various aspects of life where expectations play a role.

But then, When you emphasize the enjoyment deriving from the activity, the positive experiences and fun had during the process should not be overlooked. This viewpoint aligns with the idea that the journey can be as valuable as the destination. In the context of gambling, this could include the thrill of uncertainty, the social aspect of the activity, and the overall entertainment value. Some may see gambling primarily as a form of entertainment, similar to going to a movie or a concert, while others may view it as an opportunity for financial gain.

I got your point and I couldn’t agree any less with you but the truth is hat here are several other things one can do to stay entertained aside gambling that has to do with fun and I’ve seen several post by users who claim if they’re losing is also a part of the fun and I think they aren’t sincere to themselves and away from not wanting to sound odd, I think a lot of people secretly agree that there is at least a tiny hope of making profits while staking a game and there is always a special joy and feeling that comes with winning and no matter how much joy and fun we claim we have in gambling, there would be some points when you wish you never lost a particular bet which is also a clear evidence that we have at least a tiny desire to make money while having fun and believe me that the major fun in gambling comes with winning.

I also agree with you and that is why it is always advised that we only gamble with money we can afford to lose and this very dating points to the fact that as a gambler, you’re expected to loss more than win and this should be a first stance to make us avoid gambling but we already grounded in the mentality of making a stress free money which seems gambling offers which isn’t all true.
The fun in gambling is rooted in winning

And why on earth will someone keeps gambling for fun at a time losing seriously and still continue to gamble and someone like me can't keep watching while I waste my hard earned money to gamble while keep saying I am doing that for fun indirectly I am deceiving myself no else knows how much you lost except you make it public and why must I continue to gamble even at lost I my insane or what. I don't even find it funny with the BTC network congestion to pay transactions fee talk less of using my money to keep gambling and lose then will pick up courage to say is fun.

When doing gambling then it would be always best that you should only make use of the amounts that you can afford to lose and never ever make spend of the hard earned money that you do have
just like on what you had mentioned. On the time that you would be experiencing consecutive loses then it would really be that resulting into that kind of impulsive emotion on which it might lead up into those actions on which wouldnt really be that recommended on doing so. Losing in gambling is never been fun and never been giving that good feeling and this is why it would be always
best that you should really be that you do always allocate the funds that you are really that willing to lose. Losing isnt fun but the leisure you do get in gambling is something that you are
paying on, this is what you should imagine.

Of course, people won't admit it to themselves that they are in jeopardy seeing their hard-earned down the drain.
At the back of their mind, they want to recover the losses and would continue as much as they can to get back such losses.
So when you are already in that stage, wanting to recover your money, I don't think that there's fun on that anymore.
Your heart is on the rush because you want to win to get those money, but usually it ends in a bad turn.

If winning is the only thing available in gambling, then gambling won't be fun enough. Both the winning and the losing sum up the fun part of gambling together. If you are just actively winning in gambling and it turns out to be a usual thing, you will notice that even when you win another game after your previous one, there will be no excitement or celebration for that winning.
 
The love we have for the game aside, which is one thing that makes many get involved in gambling in the first place, the winning and losing spice up the whole thing, and it's gives it a total different level of fun.
 
We know that no matter how small the amount we wager, no one is ever completely happy that they lose money to gambling, but we all rejoice that, no matter how wealthy you appear, when you win from gambling, it gives you a different level of joy and motivation to continue.

The loss of game is also the part of the game,but it was the emotional part to the loser.Because they may had loss the money which was need to pay their children school fee or medical expenses money.Even it was the rent money,the gambler may involve that money to earn more money from the game.But if the gambler had not have enough luck while playing,it may leads to the loss.So it was essential to the gambler to use the free money from the monthly expenses.This also give the peaceful game to the gambler in gambling.

I would make this argument on multiple thread topics because the game is separate from the money, dont be all about the money and nothing else as you will be easily played out and will frustrate yourself imo.      You can lose and gain at the same time, lose money gain experience, gain knowledge of how better to play in future this can be said to be a positive in sum total despite costing money perhaps consider it a lesson.
  This is a large part of why I would recommend to start humble with any game, be ready to lose when the game odds are against you.  Gain the weight of the game in your hand so you can aim better is how I phrase maybe every game is random but I personally I enjoy a game I can feel has a path to glory  ;D.  If starting small, the lessons are cheaper then you can bet more with greater experience and knowledge, the gains will be greater then cost you.    Biggest cost should really be your time and effort, number one reason to lose is poor patience and just wanting everything immediately.    I think lack of patience is no fun but people have to play how they feel best this is just my scenario for building a better chance of success, theres never any guarantees hence patience is so helpful imo.

There is no fun in losing a gambling instead it affects your mental state if you are not careful with the amount you use to gamble so perhaps that's the reason why is always advisable to gamble with the money that cannot have a negative influence on you if is being lost on the gambling, so actually I don't think there are people who derives pleasure on losing there gambling but however one thing I no is that losing on gambling is inevitable, a normal thing that always happen to every gamblers but saying that is a fun to lose a bet is totally on acceptable because for me irrespective of how small the amount of money I use on gambling if I lost it on the process I always feel bad, so perhaps the only gamblers that can feel happy losing there bet are those gamblers that intentionally decided to lose the money deliberately.

Can we call it chasing profit after lose?
Yes it's obvious that there are lots of people in this condition instead of to back off they will consider how much they have spent how far they have gone backing off is like accepting defeats , and yes, I will rather accept that defeats than going further to lose all my money and pretend as if I am having fun. What kind of fun is that while there is fire on the mountain instead of me taking my race and leave the casino site or gambling house I will then seat tight there to look and waste my precious hard earned money all in the name gambling for fun. I won't support even advice a close friends to do that, that is stupidity in the highest order.

I had to quote your entire post because I love the fact that you were seeing things from my angle and not just trying to argue and most times when I rise an issue, I try as much as possible to avoid arguments but rather a peaceful deliberation and people have been writing as if I’m against the fact that gambling is fun which I’m not but rather what I was trying to say was that people shouldn’t act like they aren’t concerned about their losses especially when they are much simply because they claim they’re having fun when there are several activities one can do without having to risk their hard earned money and still get more entertained than gambling.
Gambling is programmed for a player to loss which is inevitable but I thinking balancing your losses with your winnings gives the actually fun.

Losing is like spending for something that is fun and entertaining. If you go to an amusement park to have fun, you will lose money. If you watch a movie and be entertained, you will also lose money. This is like gambling. You will play, you will have fun, but you will also spend money. If you lose, that would not make you feel happy, but the game itself made you happy. If you win, that would be a bonus. You had fun and earned money. But that is not the rule in gambling. More often than not, you would lose.

It's not fun when you concentrate on making money and forget the fun side of playing in casinos, that's too much pressure you put on yourself when you know the house has an edge and the casino is a business where it thrives when their players are losing their bets if you're looking for a guaranteed winning in gambling then it's not for you, a casino is a take a chance platform, and it's up to you to make it fun or not.

It is not weird it's the fact that we have to accept that when it comes to gambling against a casino, they have an edge, and if you cannot bear that fact then don't play but others do because the platform is a place that challenge our curiosity if we're going to be lucky or not, humans like taking a chance and casino is both taking a chance and enjoying it.

     -   There are other gamblers who have that as their reason why they gamble, but most gamblers of course want to win, and some even pray for luck in gambling. Imagine that he even prayed that he would win a large sum of money by gambling. It's as if the god he approached is also a gambler, hehehe.

But anyway, of course, we can't blame others if that's their goal; the reason they gamble is because it's for money. And these types of gamblers obviously do not become happy if they finish a day of gambling without taking home any winnings. And gamblers who are dependent on casino or gambling earnings know that.

Absolutely, you're right. There are many other things people can do for entertainment besides gambling. For the most part, people view gambling as a form of entertainment, but when you get caught up in the game, winning and losing money, at that point, gambling is no longer just for entertainment. It can become a burden or even develop into an addictive habit. But do you agree with me that forms of entertainment with a strong sense of competition or involving money tend to attract more participants? It's the same for you and me; if entertainment is dull, it's hard to bring a sense of excitement.
Perhaps, for you and me, the amount of money lost in gambling is significant, impacting our daily life profoundly. However, for that person, it might be nothing, and they still see the lost amount within the scope of their entertainment. Therefore, whether losing in gambling is genuinely enjoyable or not depends on the position and circumstances of each person. It's challenging to assess if others find it enjoyable based on our own circumstances.

No one feels happy if they lose when gambling, especially if they experience a big loss, people who experience something like this will definitely feel that they are careless because they wasted too much money. But if the person gambling is a rich person, they may not really care about losing because their goal is just to find fun. Even when they lose, they will feel normal and still be able to continue gambling and for lower middle class people whose initial goal is to look for fun and make a profit, of course. feel unhappy if you experience continuous defeat.

Maybe it seems strange for people who feel happy when they lose and maybe everyone has different pleasures in looking for entertainment. There are people who really enjoy gambling no matter how much money they lose because usually people who see it as fun are good at managing their expenses to a minimum maybe it's possible and still be able to enjoy the joy of gambling.

Defeat is never fun for you. The taste of defeat is always bitter because everyone wants to win and no one wants to lose. Winning at gambling will boost your self-confidence and losing at gambling will create resentment towards your gambling skills and luck. Gamblers are such that they want to gamble even if they win by gambling and they want to win even if they lose money by gambling win or lose both these things attract a gambler to gamble. The reason we say that we should take gambling as fun is so that gamblers do not become addicted to gambling. If a gambler can gamble without becoming addicted to gambling then he can enjoy gambling.

If you understand gambling as nothing more but an accumulation of wins and losses in which the losses are more common than the wins, I could see why you may not get it and in that case you may need to consider that maybe gambling is not for you and you could find a different hobby, but not everyone looks at gambling with such cold eyes, gambling for many of us is a way to have a good time and the money we use for it is simply the price we have to pay to enjoy it.

Experiencing loss is unpleasant and no one wants it. But that's what happens in gambling games. If he doesn't want to experience loss and lose his money, he doesn't need to gamble.

Losses will occur in gambling, while wins will rarely be obtained. That is why gamblers must understand that they really have to control themselves so as not to lose a lot. Only that way, he could limit the number of losses he lost.

It's okay to experience loss. The most important thing is that you can enjoy the gambling game and have fun, even if you lose. One day, you will be able to win and as long as you can limit your gambling, that is enough to experience the game of gambling.

You are correct,but adding to this,losing in gambling is bad,but it also gives you an experience. No one has better experience than someone who loses most of the times he Gambles.He must have known the area where if you place a bet on,you will win,and places where if you bet on them,it's going to be a waste of money.It is the experienced gamblers that have a story to tell in the gambling word.But winning is what boost your self moral and confidence to try more and win more.However,in other to be balanced,you must have gotten a lot experience through losing,and must have gotten a lot of confidence for the times that you won,they should work together.

I don't think so, because the true definition of fun for a gambler is winning his bets. Even if you say you're having fun when you lose, maybe that's just an alibi to strengthen your self-control. I don't deny that when I lose, I often feel disappointed, but at a certain point that disappointment must be brought into a situation that is as calming as possible. So gamblers try not to get carried away by bad feelings when they lose and it's better to just think of it as entertainment.

In my opinion, defeat is still defeat which will lead to feelings of disappointment, depending on whether you let the disappointment control you or ignore it. So basically it's just a matter of self-control, and anyone knows what it's like to lose at gambling, whether in small or large amounts.

There is no one who is gambling strictly for fun only, most gamblers want to make profit from the risk they take while gambling. Losing some money cant be fun but when we do not mainly gambling for money, we can reduce the regret or reduce the negative effect a bit. Those who cant enjoy the games and playing the game just for money has higher possibility to get the negative effect such as anger and the worse case is addiction. When we put fun as part of our gambling activity, we will not really feel bad of losing some money. It will be like something when we need to buy something for our hobbies.

The fact remains that gambling is of two categories which are those who gambles for fun and those who gambles to make profits.
Along both, those who gambles for fun are of safer side because they are not weirdly emotionally broken at when lost because it is assumed that they lost on the intentional act of accepting challenges of who wins and who looses having fun as the subject of the formula. On the contexts, they could take charge control of their bankrolls, accept looses and maintains a reputable gambling roles without considering making profits but though they expects to win and o not being desperate about it. While those who accepts gambling to make profits are liable to emotional breakdowns at when lost because are they chases is basically to make profits and strictly considered business of income.
This categories of gamblers are most to lost control of their selves with the acts of frustrations and so desperate to make profits. There is where gambling addicts is nurtured, emulated and attracted with the specifications that "I need to win and make profit before I leave the gambling board" and contrarily to achieve this winning which is a zero assurance offers frustrations to the gambler (s).

So the craving of bringing in fun to gambling is to serve as a wall where one can lean on at when supposed to be depressed and also so that one would internally take control of its stakes in their gambling runs at when won or losses.

The fun to me is not in the losing o money, the fun is in the thrills that comes with it. What's the fun of going to a firing range and firing a couple of live rounds out in the air? Isn't that losing money too? That's fun for some people.
Nobody is ever happy when they lose money but we lose money all the time without even really considering it.

Like you said, there are different other things one can use as fun, all I can think of requires you to lose a certain amount of money. The difference is, we lose them indirectly so we don't see it as losing money.
For example, if horse riding is your idea of fun, you're either going to buy or hire a horse, then you're going to take care of it.
You want a bicycle? You pay for it, while making zero dollars from it, that's you losing money.

So here's the thing, there are people that can afford a yatch for fun and they do it without troubles, while some can only afford a monopoly card game for fun, what matters is not going above your means. If you're not chasing loses in gambling and you're not doing it to earn money at all cost, you won't get addicted to gambling. That's just the way I see it.

With the rate increase of losses rather than winning in the gambling niche, gamblers need to take it as a fun game, not to get angered by it, and refrain from what isn't acceptable to their mental health. Losing money is not conducive, yes, and nobody would be happy to run broke, due to gambling. Hence, a gambler should control his urge to win as happiness. Because he'd only get angry when he's faced with losses. Gamblers who see gambling as a fun game are only working on stabilizing their mental health. While those who feel sad about losing money, may not sustain the enormous sadness, they'll embrace in gambling. It's better to gamble for the fun and trace other importance of gambling. I don't think people can only learn how to win money in gambling. It's a game of growth and it teaches how to increase our budgets when in business. For instance, those who use the Martingale method, try to master the aspect of investment where a person would increase his investment, when losing expecting a huge win.

But gamblers who follow this strategy, forget that while gambling isn't an investment, they need to learn through it and then apply it in the real life investment. Yet, some gamblers don't operate like that, they see gambling as an investment, then later on tag the Martingale method as a risky gambling strategy. Gambling has no strategy. Every strategy is mainly for learning, which is fun. No one should care about the wins or losses of other people, the goal is to focus on what gambling has to teach us. By applying the moves we make in gambling in our daily lives, the gambler wouldn't have the challenges of worrying about his losses. Everything would look to him as a win, especially, when the main win comes in his business. That's why most men still gamble, and never get addicted or feel the problem other games face each day through gambling.

He won't remove the signature because it's a way for him to make money, just like he view everything all about money and profit.

Yep no one forcing everyone must be a gambler, gambling is a choice.

If someone have a job that pays only to survive, he shouldn't gamble at all since he don't have any money for entertainment.

What type of amount can ruin your fun when gambling? Then don't use such amount ever to gamble, if you can't afford to see yourself losing a dollar then use 0.10$ to gamble, there should be an amount that won't affect you at all regardless of how much you are making weekly or in a month, only you can figure that out.

If you are not having fun when gambling you should not be gambling, if money is all you want in gambling you are wasting your time, the house is always going to win unless you apply your own safety strategy, I am willing to give $10 away to the house every week because I have afford hundreds of this $10 for myself, so what I lose can't ruin the fun I so desire from a match.

As a gambler you are, the ball is really in your court, have this mind of reality and stop living in a world of dreams, lottery's and casinos are like island of dreams vs the reality, the majority that visits are not going to make it back.

Maybe the fact is more or less like what you said, someone who says that they gamble just for fun might say that when they have a losing gambling session that makes them have to actually lose money there, this makes a little sense. Basically I think most gamblers are there to make a profit by taking risks and relying on luck. Obviously losing money can't be called fun, but I think that's why there's the idea and advice that we should put down an amount that we can be responsible for whatever the outcome is. So before you play you should have already given up the money so that you can be one of the responsible gamblers and this is useful to minimize the disappointment of losing money.

I think it's better from the beginning that they consider first before finally getting involved, meaning that if you really don't want to lose then obviously it's better not to get involved in gambling because after all this activity is only about winning and losing while winning depends on how lucky you are at that time. Because of course the inability to accept defeat is usually the beginning of out-of-control actions occurring which in the end they will only experience worse effects such as addiction.

It's not fun losing money but the gamblers are bound by their habits and addiction such that they use the humor to tide over the bad feeling of losing money. It's always desirable to win on every game but in casino that is not possible and is why the casino wins more than the players.

The games may derive the fun aspect but it quickly closes off once the losses come into view.

However some people find gambling an escape from boredom. That is the correct way to reduce boredom but it's also one of the reasons why they find losing money as fun.

No one really wants it but since we are dealing with gambling then you should expect on having two possible outcomes which is losing and winning on which it is really just that normal.No one likes on losing money knowing that human beings does really cherish money so much and losing it or seeing negatives would really be making you impulsive on which it would really be just that normal that you would really be doing things which had been caused by such reaction. If you arent that prepared on losing money then it would really be just that right that you should accept on whatever things that you would encounter along the way. You should not
be touching gambling if you arent that prepared because if you do then you would really be that making decisions which it might worsen up the situation even more.

Gambling is fun but when you are winning but when things turns out to be salty or really just that speaking losing money then it those fun would turn away and it would be replaced by anger and disappointment.
If you cant accept the risks of gambling or the things which could happen then better avoid it on the first place. There's no fun on losing but whenever you do hit up a win
then those losing disappointment would go away and the cycle would continue.  ;D

No one who gambles will admit that there is any fun in losing at gambling. Basically they bet to win but do nothing if they lose. And between winning and losing a gambler feels excited. I think that's where a gambler's fun lies more than anything else. No one would be gambling if there were only losses. But even if the loss is more than the win, people gamble for that win. Many people do not take it negatively even if they lose in gambling but they think about how they can win the next bet.

If you ask those who are addicted to drugs, why do you consume drugs, they will clearly answer for pleasure, in fact they know that drugs can damage and harm themselves in real and financial terms, well the same thing also happens to those who are addicted to gambling.

Everyone knows that gambling can harm them financially, but behind it all, many people think that in gambling there is pleasure, whether it is: happy, satisfied, a hobby and so on, on this basis many people involved in gambling think that gambling is fun for them.

For me, if there are people who say that gambling is for fun, even though they lose, that is normal and reasonable, because human characters, traits, hobbies and thoughts vary, just as we see someone who likes to race wildly, in fact they know they are doing it illegally without security and protection, the consequences are fatal if they collide with other drivers, they also answer that it is for fun.

Don't look at money, losses as pleasure, look at it from the other side, as I said above.

The hope of making another win to replace the losses are also a sign of chasing after losses and over the time, thy singular act has never been favorable and I also agree with you that every gambler basically bets to win but they can’t do anything when the losses come  which is another affirmative that gambling is programmed for a player to loss and I also agree with you that the anxiety between winning and losing is where the fun lies since nothing is actually guaranteed but the truth be told that fun will be more appropriate if the winning is over the losses .

Yes, every gambler bets to win, but if they only think about winning, they will be disappointed because they failed to get it even though they have tried many times. They think continuing to gamble will give them a win so they can win. Even though gambling is not what they imagine, a win will come to the right person. We can't expect to win, so we just wait for it. And when they feel beaten, there is no pleasure they can get except feeling disappointment. This is what gamblers who are still chasing wins must realize so they can change their mindset because gambling is not a place to make money. They gamble to get pleasure regardless of the final result so that they are ready to experience loss and will not be disappointed because they did not bet big money.

It is also not certain that you will be able to recover previous losses in the next gambling because gambling is so risky of losing and even though people say there is a chance in the next game. Gambling must be done responsibly because when we lose, it does not affect us nor will we make assumptions that in the next gambling game we will return all the capital we lost before.

From what I see gambling cannot be calculated with exact numbers because there is uncertainty when we are involved in it. Gambling is just for fun, usually only with a prepared budget and even if we lose we can accept it. I lose quite often at gambling and I have never been as lucky as other people who engage in gambling activities like this.

Many of us may ask questions about someone reasons for gambling, and many of them answer for hobbies, entertainment after work, for fun and even quite a few people answer that alternatively making money is the answer, from that I think that gambling is what they do have many to motivating factors that ultimately turn them into active gamblers, but from several my friends  experiences, I actually see that the pleasure they get from gambling is only when they play and win, but when they lose, we can see that their emotions start to look unstable and even will tend to get angry and rage when we are greeting or joking.

There are indeed things that are more fun than just playing gambling.. But when we have been trapped in gambling for a long time, it will be very difficult for people to find things that are more fun than gambling.. Someone has tried to divert their gambling habit to something else. , namely exercise. And apart from him liking running, he is also quite fond of chess for the reason of sharpening his brain skills. At first everything went according to what he had previously planned, every afternoon he always invited his close friends or neighbors to play chess and was accompanied by cup of tea... But over time it becomes very boring because there are no challenges and sensations... which is different when he gambles, in gambling he always gets extraordinary sensations and challenges, especially if he bets a sufficient amount. big. In the end, to make his chess game more challenging, he placed a bet in it.

so in my opinion, someone can give up gambling by no longer coming to the casino, but to be able to give up the habit of betting, is a very difficult thing to do.

In the nature of human beings, they do not want to lose in anything they are doing. If it is money related, it is even worse because they do not want to lose at all. In gambling, people also do not want to lose but just only few that do no mind if they lose and it is because they are using small amount of money to gamble. An amount that it is like they are not losing. Sometimes you will want to bet with small amount of money, but before you known you are using bigger amount and while losing, it can lead to anger, depression and frustration. The truth still lies in the fact that we should just use small amount of money to gamble if we want to avoid all these negative effects of gambling.

but if it is an online casino, it seems that people will find it difficult to stop gambling because they are still holding a cellphone connected to the internet, where online casinos can now be accessed and played using a cellphone, that is what they may have difficulty stopping, especially since it has become a habit that is difficult to stop, but If you really want to stop gambling, it's best to put away your cell phone and stay away from the internet. Live like the people before without the Internet and cell phones, whereas in physical casinos, everyone can do without going there.

I think you are missing the point.  If you spend $200 to watch a 3 hour concert or lose $200 in 3 hours watching a game you bet on that you otherwise would not have watched what's the difference?  The point is if your entertainment equates to the fun you have than yes you can lose gambling and have fun doing it.  I enjoy playing poker for the competition win or lose, it's entertaining.

So this depends on each person's pleasure, everyone has different pleasures.
Although it looks like a loss when losing a match bet, it will not be a problem because you enjoy the match more.

If it happens to me alone, it's a pity when $200 is lost when losing a bet, let alone it's the rest of the money that will only be used for gambling.
It's best not to use all that money, using half of it might be better so that there is still a chance to bet on other games.

When we lose in gambling, we feel no fun in it. At least i do not think that losing in gambling can provide fun, No way.

Yes, if a gambler is wealthy then losing money may not hurt him and he would only want to gamble for fun (and not for money). Another condition of having fun while losing is that you go to the physical casino with your friends, enjoy there and even lose, you may still have fun.

With online gambling, I do not think that anyone can have the feeling of pressure unless he or she wins in gambling. Infact, if I am a bit more specific, it's the money that gives us pleasure and fun and not the gambling itself.

That's a big amount for us, so it would be a shame to lose $200 on gambling so I won't do more than that, because if I lose $200 on gambling in an instant, it will be painful.
There is always a saying "use the money you can afford to lose" so of course gamblers like me with $200 is too big even I myself always set aside less 5% or 10% of the total $200.
Suppose in sports betting you can bet $3 can win a large amount of multi bets if it is right in choosing the team and odds.

This is correct, when a gambler loses money he isn't happy that it happened but he can't stop gambling too as he gets pleasure from the thrills that comes from betting. Betting is a form of entertainment, some chemicals that gives pleasure get released when you're gambling and there's not many activities that can give you similar pleasure as you won't like those activities too. Individuals continue gambling when they're losing not cause they love losing money but for the excitement they get.

Every gambler wants to make money and also get pleasure from gambling. it's their dream that they'll make money from gambling but not every single gamblers will be successful many will fail. When we're enjoying gambling we should also plan for times when we'll not be enjoying gambling as we'll be losing. Losing is a part of gamble therefore we should be comfortable losing and just enjoy the game.

I don't enjoy losing my money to any form of gambling even with a little amount I feel it's too small because I see it like the platform is taking what I have to increase their own growth and profits. There might be people thag enjoy the fun though, they don't really care about the money. Some of them will be angry because it's not what they expect happen and not because of money. I have seen this guy was shouting and screaming when Manchester United was out of the Champions League and he had some money bets that Manchester United will make it to the next stage. Even him knows about the condition of Manchester United but for the love and hope of the team, he went ahead and bets for them to win which later went hay.


Gambling for fun is subjective, it's not the way you have in mind another person has. The day I know gambling for fun really existed was the day they big men bets on golf, I don't know why people old men loves that game but the betting sound odd to me and looking at the people that were betting on it, were middle age and old men that are catching fun and laughing out their sorrow. There is fun in gambling and we have people that are also chasing the bag.

No one really likes on losing money and this is something that pleasurable in the first place because we do know that human beings does give out that importance on money or simply we do love money and there's no way that we would really be able to ignore the fact that we are really that trying out very best on earning it rather than on losing it. This is why whenever we are really that experiencing those extreme losses or in a consecutive manner then those feelings or emotions that you are really that feeling would definitely be changing up from happy to furious or disappointment on which it would really be just that so normal on having those kind of switch up on which it would really be just that something a very common emotion swing in between happy and sad or really that becoming stressful.

This is why it would really be that important that once you do step your foot on doing gambling or trying out to experience it, then you should really be that making yourself get prepared on whatever things that you would really be able to encounter on which it is really just that normal where these conditions and situations which you would really be able to experience on point. So if you do find yourself that a highly emotional
type of person then dealing up with gambling isnt for you. Why? losing money will really be that commonly be experienced and if you arent that someone good on handling stress and anxiety then it
would really be giving out that negative effects on you in speaking about health aspects.

I don't see any fun in any case that you may lose money while gambling.It is just not in human nature to have fun when losing money as no matter you are playing for example with money you can afford to lose in the end no one will be happy to have lost money.I know we as gamblers should learn to accept this fact but it is extremely difficult to learn to just accept this fact.That is the reason why we have so many addicted gamblers.

No one likes to lose, so I don’t think there is anyone that will be at loss and still be happy with it. People could feel the pain differently base on how much they’ve lost or how much they can afford to lose while gambling. If I have set aside a particular price that I can lose maximum at gambling and haven’t attained that amount yet even when losing, I will still not be in pain like the person that have spent above his budget and already at big loss. Gambling for fun is just a saying to me, no one gamble for fun, they all gamble to win.

It's in parts and this has to do with what interest you in indulging yourself in gambling, for some their condition could be out of loneliness having no close neighbor or friend to keep company, also elderly people too out of boredom take part in gambling and these people will mainly gamble for entertainment and fun seeking reason where losing won't be something to worry about provided they are catching the fun that's killing their boredom and loneliness.
On the other side, there are the gamblers that stuck themselves into gambling for the sole purpose of making money and anything of a result that's of the opposite will definitely not sit fine with them. so it depends on the individual what made him get into gambling in the first place.

for myself, I bet just to have fun on the one hand, not only is that what I want but also to try my luck with a small amount.
it's the same as when we play video games, we always want to win, even though we always lose, we still get pleasure because we get the sensation we want, like chatting while betting, even though we lose, we can make fun of other friends, but it's just a joke.
we cannot measure losses or wins if we win, we bet for fun, of course it is not a problem that turns fun into anger because a gambler who gambles just for fun, they already know that the risk of losing is greater than winning, so they still feel pleasure.

maybe people who dont know the sensation of losing but still feel happy think this is very strange but the fact is that I myself often lose but never change my mood and still feel happy to be able to bet responsibly without being tempted by any situation.

It depends on the company you are with and your state of mind, but also your personal financial situation. Going to the casino after a spending a night out with friends, as they are often the last places open in the morning, can be the way to wind down. If you are sensible and only put a small amount of money into it with low bets on the slots machines, then it can last you a while with occasional rewards. If you're still sober enough to have a go at roulette or even poker, then you can potentially stay near break even or take small losses while learning more about the game. It can be entertaining if a person or two in your group are up on the night, while the rest have to accept small losses, because not everyone always has to walk out as a loser.

Yeah bro, there is fun in losing in gambling sometimes, it only depends on the mindset you are playing it with and the amount you are using to play it. You see, many are taking gambling too seriously, and that is why it affects them when they lose. You can imagine a person who is worth $350 depositing $250 in his gambling account. What do you expect of the person if he loses? This is certainly the amount of money that can't afford to lose, so there is no way it will not affect the person badly, especially when high risks are being taken in betting per bet. Some will even use the whole $250 at once, so the person can't have fun through that.

The same thing goes for all who believe they are in for gambling just to make money and make it big to be rich. You know their minds are already in the winning, so it can't be fun for them. But there are some like us that can deposit as low as $20 and be betting with a very little fraction of it on our favourite games. That money could last us for longer duration of days, if not weeks and months at times. That is the money I can afford to lose that will not affect me and when I deposit in casinos, I make sure it is small because I know that I will likely lose it but derived the fun. This is unlike sports betting which I take more seriously.

In fact, we can't know for sure whether someone really said something like what you asked in this thread, or? and yeah, we can't confirm the validity of these claims. I want to ask instead, do you think this question is important to you. are there any benefits you can gain? or do you just want to know the response from the community? for me personally, everyone is free to have an opinion according to what they put forward and even claim it, as you asked in the title theme of this thread. all of these are basically a person's rights, the most important thing is that they are not detrimental or misleading. so you see, the idea of ​​having fun doesn't mean we don't expect rewards for the gambling we do. we are even well aware that in this type of entertainment, it takes a certain amount of money to have fun in it. well, we can imply what it means to have fun. the answer depends relatively on each individual or each gambler. let's say we lose in a gambling session, we have made efforts to win. however, the results were not as expected. for me, this is clearly no longer fun. so, ideally I should stop it.

For me, the idea of ​​having fun is the right thing to apply to gambling. why, yes so that we don't target big wins after big wins. in fact, quite a few gamblers are trying to make quick money from gambling. things like this will release us to the level of awareness that our priority is pleasure. but that doesn't mean we don't want to win. losing is something that is certain, especially in gambling, so just enjoy it knowing that you are losing. otherwise, the emotion of anger will push us to do something beyond our limits. for example, making a deposit again even though the money is for other purposes. there are also some people who do it purely for fun, if they lose they will be fine. despite the fact, they suffer losses. if they were capable, it would have no effect.  However, this type of gambler is very rare and usually they are not active gamblers like us. as for those like this, they usually only gamble occasionally to refresh their minds after busy activities in business, work, or so on. so, the point is what do you think?

The inability to accept defeat in gambling will greatly affect the nature of gambling itself. The essence of gambling is about pleasure, but when we lose, our condition and feelings change slightly, there is a feeling of regret, which makes us lose the pleasure of gambling. But even so, the next day we still went back to gambling.

There must be a feeling of regret, especially if we have experienced a significant loss... and regret is a normal thing. And what is unnatural is, when we feel regret, but that feeling of regret is not able to make us aware of the bad behavior we commit while gambling. When we feel regret, we should immediately introspect ourselves about the mistakes we made... so that in the future those mistakes don't happen again. And by knowing the mistakes we have made while playing gambling, this can help us make it easier to improve our abilities in gambling, because we already know for sure what our weaknesses are. Apart from that, this can also help us minimize the level of losses we experience every time we gamble.

It is not fun indeed. There's no real fun in losing. but the thing is that you can make the time you spent gambling worthwhile in other ways without making the loss part of your session/journey the highlight of that session. You can try gambling with friends, actually I would recommend it since it keeps the steam off the pot and you're with people that you definitely enjoy the company of, you could share victories, share the losses as well, and they can look after you when they feel like you're already on the verge of becoming too invested in the game and vice versa.

Gambling isn't any fun when you lose let's be real here, but there are ways you can employ to make it as if it's still as entertaining as if you're always winning. A little mind manipulation on your own psyche could go a long way and could even help you keep yourself from being addicted to gambling for one, among other benefits. Dwelling on the losses isn't going to turn them into wins, the best you can do in that situation is really just accept and hope that things get better the next time you gamble, or take a breather and perhaps touch grass if the losses is taking a toll on you already that you just can't shake it with a couple deep breaths. It's on you if you wanna make sure you're not aggravated by the losses, cause they will keep coming as long as you're gambling and you have no chance to stop them.

Just don't cut the fun of others. If they are happily losing because they're enjoying when they gamble, who are we to judge?

We all have our differences in terms of having fun and with our perspective in gambling. We don't want to be losers and yet we still lose and we're fully aware that it's going to happen no matter how much we gamble.

If it's the reason of others when they've seen themselves losing and just want to enjoy those losses and accept that reason for themselves, you cannot remove that to them.

Yes, each person is different on which there are really those people who are really that just playing for fun and dont mind about on the money that they are spending as long they could really be able to get the leisure that they do seek and its true that who we are to judge? Its their money that had been used not ours, so it would be better that letting be on the things that they would be tending to do.
There are really just those individuals who do really love to get involved into others decisions on which it wont really be that something just right on having that kind of approach on things.
Gamble for fun but its true that losing is never been fun but there are ones who do easily get accepted to it and just simply move on and bet the other one. Leisure seeking
and making contentment will really be varying into each person.

It is true that people gamble for fun but the idea that people have fun while loosing is incomprehensible. I guess its a contextual misunderstanding, who has fun when losing except it is anticipated.

Another lens through which we should consider it should be through the eyes of the gambler who has set aside an insignificant amount of money for what he calls fun and gambling suddenly falls into the equation, if he loses it, it might be termed fun for him as well.

yes this depends on how the management of gambling funds, as you said using $3 for sports betting will be better and could have a chance to win Multi-bet.
This will be a gamble that looks small, but has a big prize.

There is no need to push too hard to bet more, because the maximum limit of funds is only $200.
There will be many bets that can be done if you only use less than 5% or 10% of the amount of funds.
But for people who are too hasty to gamble, putting it all is their first choice in order to get more winnings, but in the end will only lose $200 in an instant.

Honestly speaking there is fun in gambling but not when  you are losing. Each time there is wining its always fun and people don't think of quiting. But when there is more loose its often no longer fun. So fun I'm gambling is as a result of win and not loose because nk body is ever happy when he/she is loosing.

I think that a lot of people would agree that there is plenty of fun in gambling even while losing.  Let's say there's an NFL game on and the game is not a very good matchup.  I will often put down a few satoshis on the game to make it more fun and exciting. Even if I end up losing that money, the thrill of making money was still there the whole time, and it often makes the game enjoyable, that otherwise might not be.  So yes, losing can still be enjoyable.

In my opinion, being able to have fun and entertainment while having a bad luck streak in the casino is something like an adquired taste, it takes time to get used to it and be able to move on easily from those loses.
In the most of the occasions, it is obvious the losses will take other the novice gambler and they won't be able to have fun because if the constant reminder of that money which was gambled away. Some will say it is a question of maturity while other could even point out at it as one if the first signs of gambling addiction.

My personal experience is that when I started to gambled and get some bad luck, I could feel myself getting hooked into continue to gambling, not necessarily because I was chasing losses but rather because the feeling of the uncertainty on whether I wouls be able to get in green numbers out the casino made me felt thrill, there is where the fun comes from in my case. It is not completely healthy, because I have not completely detached that positive feeling from the amount wagered and the results I may get, but if one can sever the fun one had off the money one loss at the end of the day, then I would say it is healthy and responsible to partake in gambling that way.

The gambling was the most preferred one for the entertainment,if you play the game with the knowledge.The possibility of getting entertainment in the gambling site was the easier one.The gambler should spend the huge time to analysis the gambling site,because only the gambling site is the reasonable one for the win or loss of the game.The reputed gambling site will allow to make some dollars,but the worst and scam gambling sites will make you lose the money which you used to gamble in the gambling site.The gambling site based cryptocurrency had huge demand among the gamblers in recent days.

Hahaha! I find this hilarious. Like I have said on this topic, people may say they gamble for fun, but I have never come across someone who gambles for fun. I think another way to ask the question is, what is the fun for them? Is it the ability to play the game? The moment of playing the game? The money they win? What exactly? Because for someone who gambles for money, winning the money is quite fun. Right? People may really be gambling for fun but like I’ve said before, the percentage isn’t worth anything to be mentioned (I think).

The most of the gamblers was get into the game for the money making game,the sustainability of the gambling also because of the money making option also their in the gambling site.The gamblers who get excited for the next with or loss on each bet will surely give them some of the thrill in the real game.The winning money from the gambling site also give some enjoyment to the gamblers.Because using that money,the gamblers can satisfy all the desire using that winning money from the gambling site.The gamblers who loss will not had good fun in the gambling site.

For sure there was no fun in losing in gambling, I mean when I gambling the only fun thing is when you are winning but if you lose it isn't fun at all, and at the same time you could easily be frustrated especially if you are getting a losing streak on gambling that just means you're losing a lot of money. I mean you could gamble and lose that was just fine especially if you're just doing it for entertainment, there are some times that I just want to gamble but I set my limit so like 100$ and that is just what I'm going to spend on gambling win or lose, whatever it takes most of the time I just accept that I'm going to lose it anyway since you mostly just lose on gambling and I'm just doing it for entertainment and fun, it was just like you pay to lose and only paying for entertainment because we know that gambling is fun. In my opinion that is just the way it is, but a lot of people for sure is expecting to always win that is where it takes the fun out of gambling. If you ask me if you start to gamble always expect that you are going to lose.

It is obvious and I agree to it that most gamblers come with the intention of earning or multiplying the money they bring, winning with large amounts is always the dream of gamblers especially those who come to earn. In this case we cannot lie that all gamblers whether they come just for fun or even if they will definitely not refuse to take a big win if indeed they manage to get lucky. But maybe the difference is for those who come with the intention of just filling their spare time as well as looking for fun they will not be too forceful in acting, and obviously very different from gamblers who come to produce which is where they always overdo gambling just for the sake of pursuing an uncertain victory, so that is the reason why people who put too much hope usually experience a large number of defeats.

Obviously if they manage to get a win then they will feel great pleasure and can realize all their desires using that money, but on the other hand don't you know that greed will play a role in such situations? Of course, that's a possible thing that usually makes gamblers lose all their winnings again.

Well the only fun I see while losing in gambling is just if one is losing and continuously continue to play with the believe that he might get lucky and win before he exhaust his money but basically, I don't see it as a fun if someone is losing because no body wishes to lose money while having fun of this nature (gambling) except maybe if the person just scrap out money to use and gamble some complex options in gambling with the hope that he wants to try his luck even if he knows too well that those options are difficult to come through.

Maybe what they mean is "fun" in the sense that they don't focus too much on making money and just play normally to get entertainment from it. It doesn't mean they are "fun" when they lose, of course they are also annoyed when they lose, only crazy people are happy when they lose. But when players keep thinking about the money they might lose in the games they play, it can make them stressed and not enjoy the game, so they gamble for fun to enjoy it.

The gambling phenomenon has become an integral part of humanity's journey.
A person may start gambling For entertainment because it makes them feel good and get some initial winnings.
Or maybe it can also be an escape for people experiencing stressful life changes or bored with their routine.
Everyone has the right to determine for themselves but must be aware that gambling has a high risk of becoming an addiction.
And me?  I like to have fun, but gambling is not part of it.

I really want to know the person who is having fun even losing in gambling because i think any sensible person can't be happy on losing money in gambling and when you are not happy, then you cannot have fun. Isn't?

By the way, there may be one possibility where a person may have fun even when lost the game, is that when he is following the money management and he knows that even if he loses a few games, he is in overall profit. This way he knows that the important thing is to be in profit, there will be many gambling times, when the gambler will have to face a loss.

I think this reply is very mature and I love the fact that you were trying to balance the difference between them both and every normal human wouldn’t feel happy when losing and that’s the truth and when it comes to gambling, I think people still curtail these losses with hopes of making a win to cover those’d losses some day and that still drives down to the fact that every gambler expect a win as a result irrespective of wether they are bothered by the winning or losses.

There is absolutely no fun in losing one’s hard earned money especially to gambling and most persons live under the pretense of having fun and staying entertained to avoid been called addicted but deep down we all want to make profits l.

No, gambling is not strictly for fun but you can not separate the fun from gambling. When you say something is strictly, it means that it's only limited to what comes next. Every gambler is aware of the winning and losing money while gambling but to be able to see the fun aspect of it depends on what you feel about gambling entirely.

Losing is one particular thing that makes it to be fun after all. Imagine gambling without losing and see how boring and uninteresting it can be. The fun of gambling comes from the excitement and anticipation of winning despite that you can not always win but that experience of playing alone is a fun on it own.

No one actually wants to lose but it's not possible unless you stop playing but when you are too attached to winning without thinking about the opposite, then you can not see the fun in gambling. To enjoy the fun of it, just take a break when you are losing too much.

Partly yes for those gambler who see gambling as another way to generate income, we can't deny the fact that many of us are see gambling as another source of income which is somehow true as long as you know your motive why you enter the gambling world. to those who see gambling as part of their entertainment are for those filthy rich people who wants to spend their money just for fun and that's the reality, they don't care if they lose or not, the important thing for them is to be satisfied with what they are doing, that's how the rich people act, they are smart in handling money and they know how to allocate a proper budget for their vices.

Yes good point to read but overall it really matter on how people take approach towards there activity and I think the result is depend on their mode at the time they gamble since there are times that we are really eager to win as we became competitive especially that there contest running and they offer a huge prize to the winners then we didn't get what we expect then get frustrate on the result.

But also there are times that we are aware of everything then fine to encounter some losing since the main intention we do is to have fun especially if we have our friends around playing together with us and for sure we are pure into entertainment with that since we could do everything then at the end of the session all of people around got enjoyed for the result shown on screen. But we can't really erase the feeling to win since its nature of people that they like to win but sometimes we could just shake off those losses since we are in the mode playing some good games.

There is, it's just the fun or happiness that gambling gives to those who are saying it's fun is there. But as an observant, you don't see it from your own perspective because that's not the fun that you are anticipating. But in reality, if you're having fun and you gamble, that is on you and you don't need to wait for someone to tell you that you should have fun. You don't need to get the validation of other people because that's how you should gamble and have fun. So if they are telling us that they're actually having fun, we can't argue with that and that's their feeling and experience.

That's it, that's the fun that they do and found it through gambling and that's not impressive to you because that's what makes you think that there's no fun at all. But if we're going to take a look and see those actual people that are saying that they do it for fun, you might see the actual fun on their faces or reactions based on how they show it to the other people. Anyway, it's a huge argument about people that don't see gambling as fun and profitable, this is like a debate that's always going to show.

In my opinion, I think that there will be any public that they will enjoy there loss. Yes it is true that gambling should be always for fun. But it's true that we can take our lose as fun or enjoy it. I think we have to go in with the mind set before gambling that there are chances to win as well as chances to lose.

It is never fun when you lose, but losing is an integral part of gambling. People who have said they are gambling for fun, they have said it in general, while they receive a full bouquet of emotions during gambling. Gamblers also said they do it for fun, because they dont do it for money, nor do it for killing time. What else can they say then? I think OP has misunderstood a little bit what people really meant. If OP really wants to talk about such philosophical topics then name please any activity, when person get fun only, from the beginning to an end.

I don't think there is a sane person who gambles and has fun while losing. Maybe gamblers who gamble for hours are having fun and being entertained, but the thing is, at some point, I'm sure he or she will have regrets about losing that money. Who's going to be happy after losing money? none, even if the price of losing the money is having fun or being entertained.

But maybe there is a possibility, but still, I believe that there is pure fun and entertainment while losing money or after losing money from gambling. Accepting the loss of money for fun may not be a bad idea, but it would apply to some people. But for me, it is impossible to have fun if I know I'm losing money from gambling. Yes,  I'm having fun, but I know at some point I will think of the money that I have lost and have regrets, but what is done is done.

It's true that not everyone gambles to be able to win, some people gamble just to fill their free time and don't worry about winning or losing and when they experience defeat it won't have any impact on them. Of course we won't know what we will get in the game we play. Whether it is about winning or losing, it is very important for us to gamble in a good mental condition so that we are not greedy in the gambling we play.

Gambling is a game of probability however you gamble on
knowledgeable choice of gambling with that you can stand a better chance of winning consistently though losses is inevitable, for instance I bet on soccer matches with the amount of money I can afford to lose of course I don't mind if I lose because my losses is less than winnings, I believe betting with a huge amount of money wouldn't be for fun if such a gambler experiences some streak of losses that can not be fun again because of consequences of that particular action of the gambler can lead to bankruptcy.

There is no fun when your goal in gambling is to win but even if you're not, still you will feel a little bit disappointed. That is why we don't assume that we win because this will have a mental effect especially if we lose. We'd rather put this on our mind I'm doing this for fun so we never feel mad when losing.

It should be clear to us that gambling needs luck. If we don't have the chance to win, then we don't have a reason also to blame anyone instead, accept the fact that this is really all about.

The important thing is that they can accept whatever results they get from gambling so that no negative feelings arise after they finish gambling. They will think that losing from gambling is normal and there is no need to regret it, especially since they only use the money they can afford. In contrast, people who use a lot of money to gamble are not prepared for their losses, so it only triggers them to deposit more money, especially to recover their losses. This will make them unable to accept their defeat and will recover from their losses even though their chances are not that big because they could suffer even more defeats. And we should only play gambling for fun and fill our free time so that we don't have a target that we want from gambling.

There should be fun even when we loose because to an extent that alone should sound being funny to is that we lost it when we even expect it to be won, secondly, we need to realize that it is not everyone who is gambling is chasing after lost or desperate for making winnings than the fun they stand to get while gambling, so loosing mean nothing to some category of gamblers like the fun they have through it.

It's correct. A good example is those who are streaming their gambling days. The real ones, not those who are being paid by gambling sites fake their reactions because they are artists, not real players. There are still loads of streamers who are really using their own money to gamble and it can all be seen in their face with how they react and how joyful they are whenever they win multis.

@Obari We do mind about the losing part because while having fun, we also want to win. I feel stressed when I lose but that doesn't mean it is the end of the day. There are times a game will hit the RTP which means giving back a part of what you lose and then you try again and seek revenge by winning.
Just yesterday, I withdrew $40 more because Plinko and Keno gave me some good rewards and I think I also found my favorite numbers because of it. The fun part is looking for those combinations that would give me the win and I can say that I enjoyed it until I took it out for cash. Now, I am going to enjoy it more by using the money for food and drinks.  :D
Was that fun? It sure is.
I do worry when I am losing so I go to different games to find some luck. Stopping that losing streak is where the fun will actually begin.

It is true that gambling is fun but when a person keeps losing it is no longer fun and full of frustration. Even if you don't understand at first you can understand it at the end that's why I think there are so many other ways to have fun that gambling is not the right choice. If gambling losses outweigh gambling wins there may be a link between gambling and other poor health behaviors often leading to social problems such as homelessness and crime.

We're wired for tense emotions. Gambling's highs and lows activate our reward system, generating excitement and anticipation. Don't romanticize it. A double-edged sword. Losing brings excitement and uncertainty. There's a downside. After 'nearly winning', pursuing losses might be risky. Is it true that the brain equates near-misses with wins, fostering addiction?

Consider the decision paradox. Every choice in gambling is, in a sense, a gamble. Constant decision-making taxes the mind but excites it. Hobby and habit are hard to distinguish. You suggest pausing when losing too much. That's great counsel, yet many find it difficult to follow. The lure of 'just one more try' is strong. Don't we need to acknowledge gambling's evil side as well as its fun? Beyond the game, it's a psychological adventure that tests self-control, risk assessment, and emotional resilience

I think in today's life, we cannot be separated from cellphones and internet connections, unless someone lives in the interior and is a primitive person. But that is an impossible thing... to do. Social media and the internet have been present in almost every human life. Personally, the last thing I see before I fall asleep is a cell phone and the first thing I see after waking up is a cell phone.

Nowadays there are countless gambling sites, as well as the promotions they carry out, which come from social media, mass media, the internet, direct notifications on cellphone screens, short messages and even crazier, and for the first time I have ever received a call from someone unknown, which turned out to be from the gambling site promotion team. The internet and social media are the closest things in our lives, so avoiding online gambling is quite difficult.

Depends on how big is your loss and what your monthly cash flow is.

For example;

You could lose 1 million usd but if your monthly income is $500k, you will make up for it in 2 months. No big deal.

If your monthly income is $2k but you lost $100k and that was all you got, then you are in a big trouble probably.

As you see, it is all relative. For some people $1000 is big money, for some others it is just what they pay for their lunch.

Pleasure and defeat actually depend on how our mindset absorbs it, don't think of it as a burden, losing at gambling shouldn't be a problem if you gamble for entertainment so losing won't be a burden either as long as it's fun, for example going on a date with your partner to find pleasure, why not be happy even if you have to spend a lot of money. isn't that actually the same feeling?

The same feeling of spending the same money, let's say it means that when we gamble or go on a date with our partner, it's the same to look for fun, isn't it, but maybe for gamblers who consider gambling to be a serious game, it seems difficult to feel pleasure in losing when gambling, for people Those who usually gamble for fun think it is normal. There is always a feeling of joy even though you experience defeat  ;D

For me, practically there is no fun in losing and even though we all agree that gambling is for fun, we still have to settle for the fact that with a one or two wins help increase your motivations and also keep you at a staking balance top up, this feeling is far more better than to have a persistent loses which will affect your overall well being and at some point make it hard for you to continue gambling so at the end you lose out on the fun.
But then also it depends on your amount in risk, because if you gamble with just a small amount then it becomes great to have it for a long while even if you are on a losing trend.

Only a few people enjoy gambling games for fun, even rich people, unless they have a lot of money or have complete control over themselves, but that is very rare. Everyone wants to win.

Well, gambling is different for every individual. It all depends on one's mindset, in my opinion. A person who gambles solely to have fun while having a fixed budget will not care much about the losses as long as they are having fun while betting. For example, if I'm playing dice with a fixed budget that I know I can afford to lose, I can experiment with my bets like increasing the odds while reducing the bet and vice versa, and if I hit a big multiplier, I will surely enjoy that and I wouldn't care much about the losses that I had while I was looking for the win.

However, if a person is gambling to earn money, and only have a limited budget for that, they won't get entertained if they lose a few bets, and this is the reason why a large number of gamblers chase their losses because they don't want their bankroll to end since they have a specific aim to achieve from their gambling activities.

I can't imagine betting up to 1M USD and a monthly income of $500K, these are rich people who can do it, so if the spending is bigger and the income is almost the same or half of it obviously it's not a big deal.

Excessive income of $2,000 while betting more, this kind of person will have a high level of problems to solve. :D

Right!!! it's all relative and depends on the ability of the individual, when I would say $1000 is a lot to cover one month of living for me, but they would consider this as peanuts.

That's not true at all. I'd say it's the very opposite - most people find gambling enjoyable and fun. A simple logic - in most games, a player has a mathematical disadvantage, meaning he's more likely to lose money long-term. If not for the "fun" factor, who would even play such games and why?
I suspect you might have mistyped and maybe what you meant was "Only a few people enjoy losing" etc, that's also not quite true but makes much more sense.

The defeat can bring joy if the gambler is not bothered about it. While playing a difficult game, we oftentimes feel the joy of getting to a certain level and then being evicted or defeated. The same can occur in gambling. Some players only enjoy the thrill of choosing an interesting game and then wager some amount to see if they'll win or not. The lose being funny, as Judah said, cracked me up. However, it should be the right form of gambling if a player wants to escape sadness and anxiety over a piece of gaming results. The money we may get from gambling is not enough to take us all through our lifetime. It's mainly some transient rewards that a player can manage for a few more days before it exhausts. Our thoughts also affect the way we feel over the results; win or loss. One would think what's fun in losing money? Nothing dear. We can't claim that we love it when our money is spent.

Sometimes on an outing with our friends, if we spend more money than we budgeted, we'd claim to be happy but at some point feel the stress a little bit. Before forgetting due to the fun memory we were able to build using the money. Gambling only feels different to some other people, because they don't understand why they lose money in gambling without gaining any results as promised. The win they expect only stresses them more, and the player can be worried over his mate's winning and he's got more losses compared to winning. These thoughts can't be handled by every gambler out there. Lots of gamblers don't forget about the money, while others move on and try again for more fun. The moment those losses register on the gambler's brain, and he is not able to erase them, he won't feel happy about losing money in gambling. Hence, gamblers are better, when they equate gambling to their normal daily expenses on utilities. Nobody buys a product more than he needs it. No need to expect to be happy after gambling more than your budget.

Not only the rich people enjoy gamble, but everyone who understands the principles of gambling.  Do you know some rich people feels sad when they lose in gambling because they played with a huge amount thinking that they will get a win from gambling. It is only those who play with the amount they can afford to lose that enjoys gambling because they play for fun, even if they lose it does not really affect them emotionally.

Rich people who see gambling as fun don't bother about their lose because it is something they can afford , but the ones that plays with a huge amount always feel bad when they lose.

The gambler who had the fun with the gambling should not expect any profit from the gambling site.Because the gambling had the loss and win of dollars,so the gambler who ready to take the responsibility can use the gambling site.If the gambler was dependent on the dollar which he use to earn from the income should not involve upon the gambling site.Because finally it leads to the loan from various sources because of the loss in the gambling site.So join gambling with the responsibility and with more resources.


The rich people have the funds ready to loss,So they easily get entertain from the gambling site.The moderate income people gambling loss will affect them in huge way,they involve their house rent to play the gambling and if they lose that it become big trouble for them.

You can also enjoy gambling games for fun like people already do. They have no desire other than to have fun in gambling games. They know it is difficult for them to win, so they only gamble moderately and always try to limit their gambling activities. They don't want to gamble too long or use a lot of money, so they only gamble within reasonable limits. If you can do it, you can enjoy it. Moreover, we don't need to gamble if it's just to get pleasure because many other activities can provide pleasure. If we really want to gamble, we have to use the money we can afford so we don't gamble excessively.

Losing is never fun but if these people are finding ways to make themselves happy then that's how they make their gambling happily even if the results don't favor them.

That is the reason it is not questionable when someone says that they're having fun but they are not ignoring the fact that they also want to win.

All of us want to win but if they're finding a reason to enjoy when the results are not showing them as good as they can be, let's just be happy for them.

The thing is that, when you gamble for the fun of it, you tend to be more motivated to keep gambling even if you experiences loses at some level, and for that tou have to make up you mind and accept the fact that you cant win all the time and also note that, the house always have an edge over the gamblers and at source, you have to agree that there is no way to become rich through gamblingand as a matter of fact gambling make you to become poor and at that be mindful while you gamble.
Never take gambling as means to earn profits even though there is possibility of that profits if you win the games, so for that, gou only get satisfaction when you gamble for fun and not the winning at all cost thing, have fun and relax and uf the money comes along the lune so be it, but we must not over rely on it.

Gambling for fun? its easy to say but when you are on the actual situation then its never been fun on committing or experiencing losses on which this would be your primary experience that you would be able to encounter when doing gambling. If you arent that prepared for this stuff then you would really be that highly reactive and when that thing happens then you would really be that becoming impulsive and this is where you would really be doing things which would really be according or getting in line with your emotions on which it is likely that you would be ending up on chasing
those loses and this what makes you to play even more further. Its not recommendable on doing so but losing control will most likely where people do mostly end up.

I respectfully disagree with the notion that no one enjoys gambling.  For some folks, hitting the tables or slots provides a welcomed chance to socialize and connect with their nearest and dearest and  take Poker Night with the guys, for instance.  Or that lively trip to the casino with the gals.  Even just snuggling up to play some online slots with your special someone. 

The way I see it, the social dimensions of gambling can infuse these pastimes with merriment and meaning win or lose.  The key is keeping perspective and not breaking the bank.

Beyond social bonds, gambling also allows some people to relax and decompress.  Sliding a few bucks into a BUSY slot machine while waiting around.  Attempting to best the blackjack dealer in a battle of wits and odds.  For these folks, a little wagering is a salve for the worries of life, if only for a short while. 

Some games have awesome music and graphical design to their makeup that can make playing enjoyable either way.  Nobody prefer to lose but with a new game at least and one you especially like it could still be fun regardless of the profit situation to the actual gameplay.  Ultimately its advised to never play just for money so it makes sense some are having fun even if losing, as always I would say bet less when losing if you can at all I'd argue people know roughly when they have a better chance of winning or not.  Never bet big while drinking imo.

We should have the mindset that gambling is for fun only not for aiming more profits cause one thing for sure once we are aiming for more profits then there's a high possibility that we can loss a lot of money while if we are in the mindset that we gamble for fun then if we loss then it still okay cause they didn't expect more profits.  And also some gamblers enjoy playing in gambling they feel like gambling is anti stress.

some features are indeed good to employ especially if you are enjoying the game itself. but you can easily forget time when you are enjoying the game and may spend more. so before you sit down and enjoy the game, better deposit only the amount you think will be spending without compromising anything with your budget.

When someone gambles for fun, they should have clear limits on when they should stop gambling so they don't lose a lot of money. Unfortunately, many gamblers who have fun gambling do not remember this, which makes them gamble more often and even gamble for a long time. If he gambles for fun, he must realize that he is not chasing the win or recovering from yesterday's losses, but he just wants to have fun by gambling in his free time. And when he has had enough gambling, he must immediately stop gambling and not continue gambling. Yes, I agree that there is no way to get rich from gambling, and many people end up losing a lot of money from gambling. As long as we can still think about just using gambling as a means of having fun and can limit ourselves to gambling, we can get entertainment from gambling because that is our goal in gambling.

A mindset like that can prevent us from gambling excessively and chasing victory. We will only gamble in our free time comfortably and without any goal other than just wanting to enjoy our free moments. By having the right mindset about gambling, we will not experience many losses when gambling, and we can enjoy gambling as entertainment. We also don't aim for victory because we know it is difficult to do or get, so we only decide to gamble to get pleasure.

Yes, that's right, that's the mindset that is more recommended, because gambling with the intention of seeking profit or income will only make us ultimately trapped in a cycle of addiction and of course not everyone can survive with all the pressure of the many problems that arise when we are already in such a situation, financial ruin or even with the destruction of family relationships is not uncommon and even I see lately there are also those who are desperate to take actions out of control such as suicide just because they are not strong with all the pressure of problems due to addiction.

On the other hand it is clear that when someone comes with the intention of earning then usually the opposite happens, namely losing a lot of money, we must understand from the beginning that this is a gamble where the final result is always unpredictable and there are only two answers, namely winning and losing, so with no certainty about the final result then obviously I think it makes no sense if you come with the intention of earning because the casino will not let that happen either. So it's better to gamble with the intention of having fun like you said, after all gambling is basically nothing more than an activity to fill empty time when you are bored, and it's better for our personal security.

Everyone knows their capacity of income and what they can bear to lose, even though they are losing it won't affect them and it will be nothing to them because that is their capacity of income. Can't say that I won't spare money to watch what is fun but at a time spending money to gamble not ones but continually spending and you still saying that one wouldn't mind the money since they are having fun from it, but do you know what? You can only see it as fun when you are making profits despite anything you may say out there what is giving you the courage to spending more in gambling could be either you have previously win and you want to try luck to see if you could secure another winning.
But having this mindset or thinking that you can keep spending $200 for gambling at same time watching the matching meaning risking $400 at every 3 to 4 hours time and how much could be such person income, normally there maybe some people who can do that but i can't deceived myself.

Losing itself is no fun of course, if we would know before that during our next session we are only going to lose, then nobody would gamble. Unfortunately nobody knows the future and without losing there is also no winning. A casino is a private company that needs to make a profit, the can't just only payout winnings and make everybody happy. I had to accept a long time ago that losing is part of the game and there will always be a losing streak we have to get through. It's true that we could be doing many other things with our money, like going to an expensive restaurant, having some drinks in our favorite bar or go on vacation. All those things require us to spend money, but the big difference to gambling is that we don't have a chance to make a profit. With gambling we can make some return on our spending and if we are really lucky even hit a jackpot. It's also depending on the nature of a person, some people get really excited when adding money to games and bets and will do it with friends or in a casino. Just because we end up losing some money doesn't mean that the whole evening is ruined, we can still have some fun.

Yes, it's true that even rich people will never care about any feelings when they lose as long as it makes them happy and entertained. I once had a friend who, in my opinion, was quite a rich person, he often spent his money on gambling, but not like I did, he always considered It was a joke to lose, so every time he finished gambling, he always drank beer and laughed like someone who had not experienced defeat.

In contrast to poor people, most of them gamble, they never feel pleasure when they lose at gambling, instead they continue to deposit money and try as hard as possible to recover the money they lost previously, busy chasing it so that poor gamblers feel no pleasure. when you lose gambling, except for rich gamblers, although there are some who feel annoyed when they finish gambling.

Well, you have to start from something that sounds a little overwhelming, but it is never good to lose, in fact, who here on the forum likes to lose? I think that no one but accepts things, we all like to win, in fact we go to a casino without considering many times the advantage of the house, the difficulty of the game and considering many other things that can make us lose, but still So things are quite obvious when it comes to the game that when we see them they can happen for better or worse, even so we try by all means to fight against all those obstacles to obtain profits, and that is something that we must learn. to achieve and accept, that in casinos we will always have these options of winning and losing, but we are still fighting to win, but we know that casinos are the only thing they seek to have their profits for their house advantage and that is acceptance and it is something that we must assume in case we lose the tension to assume and move forward.

But the fact of having fun losing, that's like if they gave you a palial and you like it, it's something very masochistic and when we have money involved here, but things usually change a lot, and it can't hurt to lose, because when you lose it's money than we lose and that can affect us emotionally, emotionally it can make us feel bad, somewhat down, but it is something we must accept in casino games, because it is something that we cannot fight against, like I said before you can lose, but it's not like we laugh at losing, unless we play what we are willing to lose and that's it, we see that game session as an entertainment service that the casino is giving us, or in the case I see the slots, I do see them as a service where they help me relax when I've had a really bad day because it's something that their music, the way the game is, relaxes me, and that's just because it only happens to me, where I put very little money to lose, but dufuto because it is something different.

In fact, I think the opposite, many rich people gamble with confidence, because they have a lot of money so they don't hesitate with their bets even though it's a large amount but they are not afraid of losing, because they feel they still have a lot of money. but if the defeat is clear in my opinion there will definitely be a sense of upset or sadness, even if it is a rich person or a person who gambles with only entertainment purposes, because in my opinion gambling can change or increase one's emotions and can change one's emotional attitude quickly, even if they consider gambling as entertainment only but I think they also feel upset when gambling.
In my opinion, rich people or middle-class people are the same, if they can gamble well, it is likely that they will not mind their defeat because they know that their greatness in gambling will only get defeat not victory, even people who have little money but they still insist on gambling with the aim of being able to get a big win, people like this who will feel annoyed with gambling that gives them defeat not victory, because the goal is not in accordance with their own expectations.

Of course we will be very disappointed if we lose in the bets we play and that's what happens in games, there are those who win and there are also those who lose, for some people there are those who don't think about it if they lose in gambling, but there are some people who experience defeat of course. they will continue to gamble until they run out of money, this is really not a good thing.

You are right that it would be better for us to gamble just to fill the free time we have and also for us to enjoy the games we play and if we experience defeat we can stop and not continue gambling so as not to experience more losses.

And also for the fact that it is mentioned on the terms and conditions of the casino that there is a house edge in the system which means that it is all about the casino first,  and the player is secondary.

With that fact in mind it inky left for the gambler who only gambles for the fun of it and nothing more than that, The majority of those who lose in gambling are those who never gamble just for the fun or looking to win big money from gambling.

Losing can never be fun and I can't say if it is for anyone because losing is not fun for me. Gambling is a fun place that's right but everyone is unhappy when they lose. Because everyone wants to win gambling. So I don't think anyone can say that he is happy even if he loses gambling. But if someone wins $50 in one game and loses $2 in the next game, he can still be happy because he still has a profit of $48.This is basically what happens. So generally speaking loss is not a happy thing for anyone

Yes, i will admit it that there's fun in gambling even when you loose, those that may not regard loosing as part of having fun are the ones that have missappropriate their financial fund needed on other things for gambling and couldn't afford loosing, when we loose while gambling, we shouldn't allow that to weigh us down, because we are supposed to be gambling for fun and when we loose shouldn't be the very bad moment of our life at such period all because we lost while gambling.

Given gambling's risks, I agree with your position. Gambling is fun with a cost, not a guaranteed cash source. The chances are usually against the player, making consistent winning nearly impossible. Gambling's emotional highs and lows can be dangerously addicting. The emotional rollercoaster can cause mental health concerns and broken relationships, as well as financial losses. Gambling affects society. Gambling addiction may ruin families and communities. Thus, treating gambling as a hobby rather than a financial strategy is prudent and necessary. Managing expectations and knowing the gamble is key.

There is definitely a lot of fun in gambling but there is regret in losing. No matter how much people say that gambling is part of entertainment, I never accept it because even if a person participates in gambling as part of entertainment, he still has a desire to make money. If he is greedy for money, he will surely feel bad about his losing gamble. For my part, if I say that I participate in gambling for entertainment, but if I lose the bet, it is natural that I will feel very bad.

Aside from the fun part of it losing also gives us the opportunity to.lesrn new lesson and also be more proactive on our games, this is what many people dont understand most especially those who take gambling as a daily means of income making, so for that anytime the experienced losing it tends to take away every benefit from they mind since the focus for them is the money and not the fun, and this set of people are seen or should be seen as not fun seeking gamblers but just professionals businessmen who are out for the money and not fun.
So we shouldn't be surprised to see or hear statements such as no fun in losing or losing being the worst state in gambling, such mentality will affect the individual overall game experience.

Are you serious? Most gamblers lose money gambling simply because it is a zero sum game. Winning depends only on algorithms and in some gambling games such as sports betting, poker, etc. on the experience of the player. The probability of winning or losing has absolutely nothing to do with other characteristics of the player. Algorithm determining win/loss physically can not know in what mood is a gambler and for what purpose he plays gambling.

There is a principle in which gambling losses will not upset: you only need to treat the deposited money as if it had already been lost when making a deposit. And be aware that you need to have as much fun as possible with this money without expecting any winnings. And then even losing this amount will not upset you. Winning and winning money will be a very pleasant surprise.

Really is that what of it is with sports betting,  I thought all the while that the possibility of winning sports bets is by the ability to accurately analyse the team using their available data,  and I never thought there be any other Algorithms outside.

I only thought that in-house games are the ones with an Algorithms since the house edge systems are mostly implemented on those games, anyways I may be wrong though.

The casino, tbookie, house edge have much greater advantage in front of the gamblers and of course no gambler can beat them.
We must be aware that gambling with any means and skill will never be able to beat the house edge or casino, especially for casino games so our chances as gamblers of winning are very low.

You are right, but of the many gamblers there will only be few who can remember or understand this fact, in fact the majority of gamblers still have the wrong mindset and approach towards gambling.
This is what causes lot of problems that occur and are experienced by everyone, having fun will be very easy for us to implement but not necessarily for other gamblers out there.

Easy for you to say that we need to distribute fairly our finance in different things but putting that into practice is a different thing, that's why it only works when you're talking about it and not because you're doing it. Yes you're right we can have fun even if we're losing but look at people that have gambled their life away, you can probably surmise from their faces that they haven't had fun in awhile, I'm not saying you're wrong but that's not entirely right either is what I'm trying to say.

Yes you can have fun despite all the losses but I don't think you should be thinking of that when you're gambling because it distracts you from the fact that you're gambling and having fun because having fun with your vices should be dumb and brain dead so you're really enjoying it.

If there is actually any fun in gambling especially when the losses are more than the winnings, it is a 50/50 thing because life is all about taking risk even though you lose with hope of winning someday. Someone can be an addict in gambling and don't mind losing as part of the fun obtained. Considerations are to be taken when gambling in order not to get depressed because of much lose over less win by staking what you can lose.

I think gambling players who are used only for fun are only those who have more passive money. so they don't care anymore about the money they have spent.
different from gambling players who expect profit or victory in every game they choose. it is not impossible for them to experience depression if the defeat is more than the victory. especially if what is used is active money or can be called daily money used for betting.

In whatsoever we do in life for there to be a balance there should be some iota of the good part and the iota of the bad part of it. In gambling it is either you are winning or you are losing. There is no way a gambler will keep winning and winning without losing at some points. And there is also nowhere a gambler I will keep losing and losing without winning. No matter how we claim that we gamble for fun if we continue to lose without winning you will get frustrated and begin to chase losses. To strike the balance we need to lose and also win to make gambling the fun it is supposed to be.

Generally, the perception of gambling being for fun is based on the financial strength of the gambler. A very rich gambler who does not depend on the returns from gambling to earn a living could comfortably see gambling as fun even if their losses are greater than winnings. But a poor man who does not have enough for himself and continue to lose in gambling even if their initial intention was to see gambling as fun, the excessive losses will automatically make the feeling of fun to go away from him. The spirit of frustration take over him either to continue chasing his losses and become addicted or to quit gambling.

You are right on which they do really just only spend on the amount that they wont really be bothered even if it would be a total loss comparing into those people who do play gambling just to have some hopes that they could having the chance on making it big.Therefore, on the time that you would really be that losing up a bet then its never been that something that could really be giving out that good feeling. It is really that hard to deny or tell to yourself that losing cant really be able to affect you on the way you do play gambling. We are hoping for a win and in every roll then you would be feeling out the excitement basing up on the outcome. You would be happy if its a win and you would  get disappointed if its a lose. This is why self acceptance into those conditions would be the key
so that you wont really be ended up on being impulsive.

As I said before, there are situations where you can still enjoy yourself even if you lose (i.e. when playing poker with friends or just having good fun in a casino). That's not uncommon, most types of games are designed in a way that makes them entertaining and enjoyable. On the same token, you can win and still have a horrible time. Profitability and fun do not have to be correlated.
One of the best examples are lotto players, who would spend a few dollars each month on tickets (which is not an amount that would make any real difference), but the hope of becoming multi-millionaires overnight is quite a pleasant feeling and, to many, is worth much more than those few bucks.

Video games are also based on the same concept, at the beginning no one could beat video games as there was not an end goal and people just played because of the fun they obtained out of it, eventually new games appeared that gave a sense of purpose to their players, but even then you are bound to lose a lot until you reach the final objective of the game, so I do not see why gambling seems to be a concept that is alien to people when we actually see it in action every day.

There is definitely fun in gambling if there is a win. I've won from gambling for a while so had a lot of fun and suffered losses whenever I got addicted to gambling more. Taking a break from gambling is a very good thing. Gambling involves the risk of profit and loss, so it is possible to win at gambling based on experience.

I’m glad to see that I’m getting a higher number of people to actually realize that the consciousness of staying aware that when staking a bet, is either you win or loss and as such it will also help us grow to gamble with the money we can afford to loss at a specific time.
I also once said earlier that , winning a bet has its own special joy and feelings no matter how  groomed we claim we are and at some point , the more the win, then more we would want to bet and that’s the fun and not the other way round when one is making series of losses in a row and you expect the game be fun to him , no I’m not sure, but whatever way, I guess when we are losing, it’s fun for the casino and when we win it’s don for us so there is always fun but who’s having the fun matters

No one is totally happy when they ain't making profits in any business, and gambling is also more like a business as it is expected for one to either gain or lose so a situation whereby a gambler keeps on losing and calling it fun like that's actually insanity because no matter the amount you've got no one wishes to lose money all the time though gambling is meant to be played for fun regardless of either you're making profits or running losses but however, no gambler is completely happy to be losing bets all the time and call it fun that's just the gospel truth.

I think there is no fun in lossing because at start everyone says that he is gambling just for fun but when he loss in gambling then he Don't think about a relationship or any other thing but wants to recover his money back. It is the fact that gambler become greedy after a win or loss situations therefore he then never find a fun in gambling but gambling change whole habits of a person.

It depends on a person that is he is considering gambling as a fun or not because if you ignore your loss as a fun then you will not be much more addicted but if you are unable to tolerate your loss and always wants to win only then it will become harsh for you as in gambling no one continously win.

Obviously everyone (gamblers) must feel great pleasure if indeed they managed to get a win in one of the sessions they did, I think all gamblers want that to happen, logically who doesn't want to get a win especially with a large amount for example, On the other hand I think every gambler can definitely get a win at least 1/2 time in 15 sessions that they do for example but the problem is that because most gamblers are too excessive in responding to the sensation and excitement when the situation wins then usually they will act excessively or mean chasing another win with a much larger amount even though the final result can always not be fully known and there is no certainty, in the sense that the risk of defeat is very possible. You have already proven it yourself that when you are addicted then you will usually suffer a number of defeats because of the many attempts you make with the aim of getting a win like before.

So the point is if you want to engage in gambling then please, no one forbids as long as you can manage everything well, such as gambling with enough time, not overdoing it and hanta put the amount you can afford to lose, because of course as you said that after all gambling is about winning and losing.

OP, there is a different fun in losing at gambling. But this is not the case with all gambling, there are some online and offline gambling that even if you lose, it turns out to be a lot of fun things. My losing record in offline gambling is very low. When I lose a gambling game to my opponent, I start to feel restless as well as amused. Because having skilled opponents for gambling increases my pleasure in gambling. At that time, my interest in gambling increased many times. Again in many cases it can be seen that some online games also play gambling through games. There they have a lot of fun, and love to play the games even though they lose at gambling. To satisfy the mind, even if gambling loses, there is much joy there.

Even though there is no joy in losing but most gamblers will still return to gambling. They feel that they can still gamble with a certain amount of money and that previous losses are close to winning. That's why they still keep returning to gambling because they think they will win someday. The fact is that when they win, they don't stop themselves from gambling and take time off but instead become even more eager to win another win. Gambling without self-control will indeed change a person's entire habits.

However, if he can consider gambling as a pleasure and can control himself during and after gambling, he can enjoy gambling. He will not be addicted to gambling because he can take care of himself while gambling and can also stop himself on time. That's what we have to do to avoid getting addicted to gambling because playing gambling for too long can change our mindset.

Everyone will not be able to enjoy gambling if they only chase money when gambling and consider gambling as a source of income, therefore people who will not be addicted are gamblers who can enjoy the game because they always consider gambling as entertainment just to have fun even though If they lose, they also understand the risks and consequences of gambling itself. so why recover it and risk losing even more.

In every gambling game there is always a risk of losing so that everyone who understands gambling considers losing to be normal because all gamblers will experience it and every gambler must be able to accept it, even a professional has experienced defeat so why should they be embarrassed and unhappy with losing, OP should be able to understand the mindset of gamblers who gamble for fun.  ;)

No body gets happy loosing be it gambling or something else so most likely it's obvious that people get sad when they loose not minding the fact that they may be gambling for fun but then they may not really get emotional about it and may aswell not let it get to them because they weren't overly expectant about the game so it's outcome be it positive or negative has got little or no effect on them and that's why they would say that they were gambling for fun.

There are people who actually gamble for fun not minding if they lose or win but if they win the fun becomes greater and if they lose they still have nothing to lose because they are still going to get the fun they desired to get before ever starting to gamble.

The prospect of a win often overshadows subsequent losses. A cognitive bias called the gambler's fallacy perpetuates this loop by believing a win is deserved following a string of losses. It's a trap that keeps people gambling for that elusive win. A healthier gaming relationship starts with understanding this prejudice. Not just winning or losing, but understanding the odds and making smart judgments.

However, gambling requires self-control. Gambling for fun without being addicted is a skill. Setting gambling limits, such as money or time, can be effective. Gambling becomes healthy if one views it as enjoyment, like going to the movies, where the experience is more important than the outcome. rule your gambling habit, not let it rule you. Consistent discipline is difficult. Gamblers must constantly work to control their habit, not only after a win or los

The best example to your explanation is that people don't actually get sad after spending money. As they got what they've paid for in the market or mall. Gamblers think that way, while others would accept that losing is part of gambling, many gamblers allow it to get to their subconscious and never forget about it and work hard to win by all possible means. That's the difference between those who gamble, and don't actually get affected by losses and those who worry about the loss. Another significant attribute of such gamblers is the fact that they actually gamble lesser amount of money. Imagine buying a car with all the money you've got, and along the line it was seized by custom officials. Wouldn't it be traumatizing? But if the buyer purchased a bicycle with his money and it got lost he wouldn't bother about it, even he'd laugh over it because it didn't affect his main funds in any way. Hence, gambling with whooping amount of money only gets the gambler sad when he loses the money.

Even if I take gambling very naturally, when I lose, I will have some regret in my mind, I can't take it as fun. Also, I doubt anyone else will accept it as fun. But for those who don't consider gambling as a source of income, gambling don't have much of an impact, which I think the OP is emphasizing. If we lose gambling and take it for easily, we won't have the cost of losing. But since everyone gambles with the aim of winning, gambling within a certain limit means that even if he loses there, he will not lose much.

In most gambler, the experience is really same as what you described because you are using a bankroll that has a special allocation aside from gambling. Gambling gives you a chance for a quick profit or quick loss but it’s feature is not limited to it if you knew how to play properly without rushing your bets.

You can experience the fun on gambling even you loss if you don’t think your losses as realized already while you are still playing. Just always think about the game and not to recover your losses so that you can enjoy the game. Worrying about your money because you use a not free money is the main culprit why most gamblers don’t enjoy the game.

No one will feel happy, enjoy or fun after they lose their bet, but gambling isn't only reacts the result.

So if you not feel happy before gambling (analyze), during gambling (watch the match/screen), and the result (lose or win), you shouldn't gamble at all because you're only want to win. Gambling is all about luck, there's no way you can win streaks.

People can say whatever they want. And we will never be able to verify for sure which of them is telling the truth and which is deceiving. This cannot be measured, you can only believe it or not believe it. Personally, I have a hard time understanding how you can have fun when you lose at gambling and lose money.

What they say in the thread catches my attention, because there are many ways that players can have fun, but losing is something that I don't see as having much logic, if you lose it is because you couldn't do what was necessary to win or you didn't have the corresponding luck and that is a shame, but I don't see that there is a way for a player to have fun knowing that he is losing, it is something difficult to believe, that is as if you were on a motorcycle and you really like being and riding a motorcycle because you love it. You fall and you can break a leg or scrape everything, but I have seen some people who are so masochistic that they forget those accidents and with everything they went through they don't learn and they continue having the same crazy things.


I know that the casino is for fun, but fun does not mean that you have to spend all the money, that is why the budget in a casino is crucial so that things in the casino flow with more fun and based on responsible gaming, Just imagining that you can spend money that shouldn't be spent is total madness.

entertainment can be seen everywhere in today's technology and watching TV is even considered the cheapest since you could already play games online for free without losing some money. there are thousands of apps on googleplay that we can download for free.

but if the user prefers to gamble for his entertainment, i wouldn't expect him happy after losing thousands of his money. the fact that odds are always in favor of casinos he can't escape losing. we are looking for ways to win because winning makes us happy so it's just unbelievable to see one having fun while losing money.

The fun doesn't consist in losing, but on the very act of gambling. Despite the outcomes being profit or loss, the gambler has to have a good time enjoying his gambling session, otherwise it's an activity he should avoid, because it will mean it's not being benefical for him in anyways.

There are several variables of entertainment activities someone can execute for self-pleasure and self-satisfaction. However, not every entertainment activities are suitable for everyone. For you it might be entertaining to watch sports on TV, but for me it can be really boring, so you could easily replace a bad habit which is harming you by watching sports matches, but for me it wouldn't work, because it's not something which I'm going to feel emotionally rewarded by doing.

The same can be said about who enjoys gambling, but don't enjoy other hobbies people usually are adept of. For you it might look foolish to see them losing money and still gambling after all. However, gamblers could also say it's foolishness someone to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to watch a soccer game at a crowded stadium, surrounded by drunk and sweaty men, screaming, crying and suffering for a match result which won't make any difference on their lives at all. Who is right or wrong on their points of view?

People who gamble, have pleasure on that respective activity, and even though they are likely to be losing money on long run, it doesn't seem to affect them negatively at all. They have a source of income which doesn't rely on gambling, and gambling occupies only a small budget of that total source of income, so it doesn't bring further negative impact over their finances.

What game do you actually play in those physical casino that give you pleasure while you lose and that can be say to be some physically involving games such as football or horse races because those are the games that could give such pleasure for playing them, but we may still have some other games that could give that feelings also that may be out of my notice or records.

But the general notion about games is that,  the excitement come from the winning at all time and for sure majority of us will fine fun only when we win and not lose as you stated.

The gambling loss never give us fun in any way,sometimes it motivate us to the good way.Because the gamblers who have patience to win the game,the loss sometimes demotivate him.But the passive gamblers will get away from the gambling with the loss,only the gamblers with more experience will survive after the loss in the gambling site.The gambling site will have the gift for you after the loss,but many inexperienced people away from the game.So the gamblers should have a potential to come back to the game after the loss,because the loss is not the permanent one in the gambling.The game will back the winning after the loss is common one.

There is fun when you gamble and it is a different story when you lose. What you actually have to do when you lose is to realize that purpose of what you did right from the start.
Everyone is for the profit and that will never change, if there are for the fun, they are few gamblers that have understood that it's totally fine to lose and have fun at the same time. That's their money and it is their own rules to be made.

In as much as so many gamblers do only gamble with their disposable income and are financial buoyant enough to not be affected by the money they lose in gambling, I personally do not think that there's any form of form in losing in gambling because it's definitely money or valuables that are gonna be lost in gambling. No one will be happy to lose in gambling regardless of how small the amount is money can be so I don't find that question about if there's any fun in losing while gambling cool.

Well I can certainly say their is no fun in losing when gambling and I think it's even the other way around. Gambling is only fun when one tend to be winning because the experience never gets old and also when you are winning don't let your happy emotions cloud you because you can get carried away and before you know the losses will start pouring in so you should always know when the fun is enough.

Well, I think that people actually do gamble for the fun without minding how much they lost, I personally have this particular game I sometimes play on stake simply for the type of fun I get when I play it, I don't play it for profit or winnings, but then, I won't give the winning back to the casinos is luck hits me and I won though.

But aside from this which I've said above, the truth actually is that, there is fun in losing money, there is no fun in it at all most especially when the loses are very constant and persistent, the fun of gambling is when you win some and lose some, but if it will possible, winning only is a good way to be very happy in gambling, but unfortunately, there will always be loses, this is for sure, but winning is very important to keep gambling as fun thing activity to keep engaging in.

I personally don't like losing, do you? But we all know that losing is part of the game and it challenges us to crave for the win. Who else dreamed of losing? Losing can be painful but some gamblers are immune to it and they don't lose hope until they got the victory. If I lose all my funds for a particular gambling let's just say I spend $5-$10 I call it a bad day and better luck next time.

Op, It depends on the individual gambler in the sense that your reason to gamble and my reason for gambling aren't the same, I have a source of income and I don't depend on the outcome of my bets to survive, So I gamble when I know I won't feel the impact of the loss despite the fact we all hope to win, take you for instance, I might feel that Arsenal will win their game today and I placed an amount that won't bother my mind losing it because I know is a 50/50 chance and I have disciplined myself in such a way that I gamble with the money I can afford and when I feel fun gambling, Therefore whichever outcome I'm good.

I never support that gambling is fun because money is played to win and lose. Those who get addicted to gambling never quit even those who win repeatedly make it their way of earning money. On the other hand when you win from gambling then it can be seen as a part of happiness but when you lose it is sad. especially for those who take a loan or debt to gamble. As all businesses have risk so gambling is one of them so it is best for you when you have other business to make money.

Really depends on someones perception towards gambling on which if you are that someone whose really that going after for money then you wont really be seeing gambling to be fun
but rather you would really be having that kind of treatment that it is really just that for making money and not for leisure on which i could say that it is really that very wrong.
You wont really be able to make yourself having that fun just because you are aiming for making money and not for fun. People would eventually make out those kind of
realizations and learnings on the time that they would really be able to experience those unfortunate events. We shouldnt really wait before it happens because we can
really be able to realize those things earlier if we do really just make use of our own senses.

You have so many good points there but it is easier said than done. But can be so pleasing if the gambler has planned for his gambling beforehand. The plans must entail the time to spend in the gambling house or on the platform, the amount of money to bet overall and the amount of money to wager per bet. In addition, the gambler would determine the number of consistent losses that will make him get out of the betting platform/house and all that. With this style and mindset, nothing is going to be special about losing, and I must say that I do it so much in trading and it works well in averting emotions from my trading psychology.

And the less money you are wagering with, the better for you as this will be so affordable for you to let go unlike those who are using a big amount to wager, it definitely can't be easy for them. However, if everyone would yield the best gambling advice when it comes to casinos, it's better and safer to engage with the mind of fun and not the money you want to gain from it. And if you lose, it might not hurt you since you are there in the first place to have fun, which is what I believe that the OP is trying to convey to query if it is possible. And yes, it is possible to lose and just smile at the whole thing since you are in for the pleasure most and not for the money and you have also outsmarted huge losses by wagering little.

I think it's clear that there is absolutely no pleasure when we experience defeat in the gambling session that we do, even if for example our goal is only for pleasure but honestly for myself sometimes I like to be a little upset when the session I do runs so short because luck is really far from me, as I said even though I don't really pursue victory but still when the session runs so fast then it will make me no longer able to feel pleasure, on the other hand simply maybe when we win then obviously we will be happy and joyful and when we lose I think it also depends on your responsibility, if indeed you put a large amount then obviously you will feel upset in the sense that you cannot be responsible for losing, or it could be like what I feel when the session goes very fast because of losing then usually I will feel a little upset because I cannot get pleasure in the next few rounds.

There's 0 fun in losing, that's for sure :D
There's some fun in playing and that can make it even sometimes, but if you keep losing for too long, eventually you're going to either get angry, or depressed. You won't end the session feeling cheerful, that's for sure. I'm fine with being even after a game, I don't have to make money when I gamble, but I don't like losing. I bet none of us do.
I like to tell people that I gamble for fun and that's true in a way, but I wouldn't gamble if I ended every session at a loss.

Well rationally it doesn't sound fun due to the involvement of money and the emotional attachment that could result from the involvement of money, but then this applies mostly to the class of people who are considered the average class because at that class the don't usually have so much to spare.

The rich class who have got more than enough to spare and are willing to give up any amount just to have fun can at that point gamble and see it strictly as fun but it doesn't mean they wouldn't accept the proceeds from it if they get lucky to win, examples could be seen amongst some prominent celebrities who gamble with very high stakes and when they are critically examine, it was observe that that had no effect on them if the lost such money because they literally have fun and at same time make money on lucky days.

No one really likes to lose and one of the reasons on why people cant just stop on playing gambling is that they are really that indeed trying to make themselves as winners on which it would really be just that understandable that we humans doesnt really like losing or cant really just accept defeat or something that do talks about being that a loser. Also who doesnt really like on earning money?
We do know that gambling is something that could really be only doing such thing or condition on which it could make you rich when you do hit up some jackpot specially on slots.
These are the things would really be mainly be pushing you out of your limit because you are having that kind of belief that it could really happen into you on which i could say
that it is really that bad because it would really be just making you desperate on that case.

Yes that's right, we can't lie with this one fact, even though you may look quite okay in that situation but I'm sure at least you won't be completely okay, if not emotional at least you will definitely lose the mood to do anything. It's actually quite simple, when you win you're happy and when you lose you can't lie to yourself that it really makes you lose your spirit, or even vice versa, on the other hand it's not uncommon for some people to lose their responsibility especially when experiencing a losing streak, the inability to accept the harsh reality makes them emotional and finally gamble with desperation based on lust and end up putting large amounts that they basically can't account for if they end up losing again.

I think this is usually the scenario where the addiction starts because of the inability to accept risk and then in the next session they aim to chase the winnings to make back the money they have lost, but it is highly unlikely to succeed, because after all gambling is a game of risk which all gamblers should be prepared to lose before they get involved. That's why it's always important to understand gambling for what it is, it's not an income-generating activity but just an idle time activity that trades your money for short-term fun.

That's true, of course if someone who gambles keeps losing, they will feel annoyed and maybe depressed, because of the many losses they get, because this involves money, of course no one is willing to lose their money, especially if it happens often. It seems strange if there are people who experience continuous losses but they feel pleasure from the losses they get, could it be because of the sensation they get in gambling that makes them happy even though they lose? I do not think so.

Of course, many people gamble with different bet amounts, and with people who place big bets, they also like that. By betting large amounts, it doesn't rule out the possibility of losing, so whether the bet is large or small, the loss will be more dominant. , and of course with a loss there will definitely be a feeling of annoyance or regret, especially for those who placed large bets, of course if they lose they will feel annoyed.

       -   As the title says, all I can say is yes. Often,  when I experience that, I am still happy, even knowing that I have already lost, because I enjoy gambling while I play the slot games. Then the other games that I play, even though I lose, are the same.
I always say that if there are times when I win when I play gambling, that's really just a bonus for me; it's just extra fun for me, to be honest.


I think that not all gamblers are as you think, mate, because I'm really okay with me even if I lose. There are times when I'm still happy even if I lose because I enjoy playing gambling.

That's true because most people will feel happy if they win and feel disappointed when they lose, but if they gamble for entertainment then the gambler will accept defeat or win because gambling is a game using real money and the owner wants to make a profit so it's natural that someone will experience continuous defeat and they have to be able to accept it, they will always continue to enjoy gambling even though they lose because the most important thing is to limit your expenses so that this enjoyment does not turn into disappointment if you spend too much money.

Yes, gamblers should think about the chances of losing so they don't really hope to win, because gambling with skill cannot guarantee that someone will win for sure, they will always be faced with defeat, so if you want to gamble then prepare yourself mentally to accept defeat.

I agree, and as a responsible gambler, it is natural that we lose. To be really honest, though, losing when gambling isn't pleasant at all. When we gamble, the entertainment value of the action itself, in addition to the chance of winning, generally provides us with thrills and delights. There is always the risk that we may lose money when we gamble, which is why we set budgets and limits and acknowledge that this is possible. However, we do kind of love the excitement, fulfillment, and pleasure that the game offers.
 
I don't know, but because of the challenge or the rush of adrenaline, some people could experience a certain amount of thrill and happiness even if they lose. Depending on each person, this can change.
We must put ethical gambling first and avoid basing our enjoyment on winning or losing.

I agree with gambling's fun, not only its financial value. The thrill of the game, the suspense of the unknown, often draws me. The adrenaline and experience are what I play for, not the money. However, I can't ignore the little hope of winning. Isn't the blend complicated? This hope-reality balance makes gambling fun.

Totally agree with your second point. Losing kills gambling fun. Humans' connection with money is complicated. Winning and losing keep the game interesting. Moderation and self-awareness are crucial, in my opinion. Knowing when the scales tip too far toward losing is vital because fun evaporates then. Too much or too little winning might ruin a session. Finding the right balance between fun and risk is everything.

In the view of gamblers, they should not be filled with the lure of winning, but also want to understand the meaning of losing because losing is part of gambling itself, no one will be happy with losing, but perhaps for gamblers who play gambling, they are only looking for fun in gambling. For them, losing is something. which they usually encounter when gambling so it is not something to be ashamed of because gambling is not only about winning but also losing.

Never be a gambler if you don't want to experience defeat, that is the message from a professional gambler I have ever met in my life, so I never have a problem with losing because it will remain a part of gambling that we often encounter when gambling on online gambling sites. or offline. If asked about the feeling of joy when you lose at gambling, I think only people who can enjoy gambling can feel that compared to ordinary gamblers.  ;)

Thanks for pointing this out. It kills my brain when I read how some people try to justify that they enjoy losing money. Those people have a hard time differentiating between their emotions and perceptions.

I agree that there is something like acceptance when you lose in gambling. Some people can accept it very well and that is something I can comprehend and I can feel myself. If I place a bet, I know it can go wrong and I accept it. I can enjoy the sports even, perhaps a football game that I bet on. But when the money is gone, I don't feel any joy because of it. I accept the loss. When I play poker I pay an entry fee and I accept when the money is gone, but nothing entertaining about losing money.

There's no fun in losing and this is the reality and this is the main reason on why people would really be keep on coming back on trying out to get back on what they have lost. This is why
gambling industry is going that big because of this kind of motives on which those gamblers really that focusing into on which they would really be that normal that chasing losses kind of emotion
could really be felt out because we do know that we are really that liking to recover those loses back via playing again and again on which if those people dont realize on the things that they are
doing then most likely they would really be that ending up on having those intents. Just like been said earlier that there's no fun on losing gambling and this is why its not shocking
that people would really be having those kind of impressions in the end of the day.

Some people do say they enjoy both losing and winning and I really find it hard understanding what will be the source of the joy in losing. As long as there is nothing religious about gambling, there will not be enjoyment in losing because it is only in religion we are expected to rejoice in the midst of tribulation.

The only thing I see as fun in gambling is seeing my account balance increasing, this is what gives me joy as I will use the money to get my personal needs. When I lose, I don't feel happy but I try to accept it while hoping to win other times. Before even getting started, every gambler must accept the fact that losing is part of the gambling process. So, even though it does not feel good losing, it must be accepted when it happens.

Profit and loss are not the only factors deciding on whether an activity was fun or sad. It's not unheard of to have fun despite losing, as long as the loss is not severe and won't impact your life. I already stated example of playing poker with your friends, where you'll most likely be having a good time even if you don't win. There are also examples of people being very close to a big win, which usually triggers a feeling of positive excitement rather than sadness etc.


Why are you gambling at all then? I don't imagine you so lucky to have been making a constant profit on gambling? Odds are against you (with some exceptions though) so losing in a longer run is more than expected.

Gambling is always fun if you have the money to lose and if you disregard the money while playing.   If you hold the money as number one I dont see how it can be fun if we are realistic and introduce the reality you cannot always win then of course you are losing money, its still fun if you arent reliant on that money.   I never play serious money due to that only winnings and money that is spare then its always a fun game imo :)

It is difficult to enjoy gambling if someone has started to consider gambling as a source of income because he will keep trying hard even though he knows that what he is doing is wrong. He doesn't seem to care that everything is worse than when he started gambling because he wants to keep trying to make gambling a source of income. He cannot enjoy gambling as entertainment because his desire has become a desire to make money from gambling, which has turned him into a gambler who is eager to win every gambling game he plays.

They already know that there is a risk of losing that they will receive when playing gambling, but because of their desire to make gambling a source of income and want to make money from gambling, this is what makes them close their eyes so as not to pay attention to it. He doesn't understand that everything has changed and the situation is no longer the same as when he first came to gambling, where in the past he only wanted to enjoy gambling as entertainment. He can't accept his losses anymore like before because all he has is the desire to make money. If he loses, he will go back to gambling to try to recover his losses even though he knows it is difficult to get, even if he uses more money than before.

If someone only thinks that he still has a chance to cover the next loss, he will see that this will be difficult to achieve because in gambling, someone will experience more losses than wins. And if he doesn't change his mindset and remains the same as before, he will experience more defeats and it will be difficult to recover from those losses. It is indeed a real trap that every gambler must avoid, but only a few gamblers can avoid it, while other gamblers fall deeper into gambling without being able to see any way out for them.

And that's where a gambler needs strong self-control so he can anticipate problems that could arise in the course of gambling. Setting limits on gambling, self-control, responsibility and discipline will help him to remain aware that gambling is just entertainment and he should not use it too much so that he does not experience serious problems later. A person who can use gambling as a way to enjoy his free time will have no difficulty controlling himself when gambling and stopping himself as soon as possible after he has had enough of his gambling. He can leave gambling as if he had finished other activities without wanting to continue pursuing winnings or recovering from losses.

Nah, it is obviously no fun when you lose. However, the fun didn't happen there, it happens while you are in the process of placing a bet. Whether you place a bet in a roulette, dice, for playing poker, or for a sports bet, the excitement you will feel about the outcome will create an enjoyment or fun within that period of time and of course it would even become more fun when you win, but losing? It ain't no fun. Though there is a tolerable losses and there are frustrating losses.
But whe we're talking about fun in gambling, it won't happen when you're lossing.

That's true, because in my opinion gambling can really divert someone's thinking where they will be more focused on the gambling they are doing. and this can trigger them to be unable to control their emotions, especially those who gamble with the aim of recovering losses or chasing wins. It's true what you said, it's likely that they will gamble again and again even if they only lose in their gambling, which makes them commit this impulsive action.

Also, in my opinion, no one is happy with losing at gambling, because it is clear that they are losing the money they have. especially for those whose aim is to make a profit from gambling, not only will they not be happy, maybe they will not accept the defeat they get. Also, the fact is that most people who gamble have the goal of getting a profitable win, because what person doesn't want to get a profitable win?

Yes that's ture everyone is hare in gambling for profit no one agree to lose because they earn it from here. No one will be happy when they lost their earning money. That's the reason no one want to loss that is more fun when the earn not loss. That's the reason loss make everytime sad. But sometimes there crazy gambles available crazy means they think to lost and play big amount on their luck that make win huge amount maximum time. But no one want to affot loss when they are gambling..

Yes I agree with your statement, simply put everyone wants to win but not everyone imposes because in gambling there are two choices about the goals of each gambler, there are those who come with the aim of entertainment only and do not focus too much on winning and there are also those whose goal is to get a win and for those who want to win will usually always force all means in order to get the victory they want which is usually always excessive and finally even experience a big defeat, This is also the starting point why there are gamblers who enter the addiction phase, starting from the goal of earning but the opposite happens because gambling is not a place to earn and after that they are unable to accept the fact that the amount of loss is a lot which finally enters the addiction cycle, namely acting excessively to return the money that has been lost.

But these two types of gamblers are still if they manage to get a win in one of the sessions then obviously they will feel happy, and for the problem of reaction when they lose it is also different, for those who come with the aim of earning will definitely be very emotional because the goal is to earn but what happens instead is losing and for those who come with the aim of entertainment or fun usually they will not be too emotional and sad because the goal is just for fun.

Maybe many people take gambling as fun but when he loses the gambling bet he takes it as fun. Of course, gambling is no longer fun when you lose a bet, and gambling becomes a factory for the horror of losing. However, every time I have participated in gambling till date, I have lost more than I have profited. From my experience in life I can never accept gambling as a pastime of my life. I have always considered it a wasteful addiction to life.
However, it may be different for professional gamblers because when they face gambling losses, they do not break down but control themselves and accept gambling as fun.

For me, nope. There's no fun in losing. I will only enjoy my gambling time or effort if I win simply because I want profits, not fun. If I want fun, I'll just play a video game or play outside. I wouldn't feel any slightest joy or fun if I lost, instead frustrated. That happiness when I'm hitting green for how many streaks will be washed away if I lose in the end.

With a cold-headed, realistic and logical approach and having money as a priority, the vast majority of games should be avoided. The only ones that could make sense are either skill games, such as poker, or games without fixed mathematical edge (where a judgment is required) i.e. sports betting.

But it's not a secret that most gamblers do not have such approach and there are plenty of other factors at play, including hopes of becoming a millionaire overnight, with a good example being lotto games. Even know the vast majority of people would be losing a vast majority of the time, they still find it enjoyable because it buys them a hope of turning their lives around with no effort. That feeling alone is worth a lot to many.

First of all, of what use is gambling when you are losing?
To me it doesn't make any sense to gamble knowing that you gonna lose, do you expect any fun when you lose money, to me it's better not to gamble at all than to gamble and lose, it doesn't make any sense, even though we know that gambling is for entertainment,  we still need the winnings to keep our motivation high at some point and for that we have to take a close look at our winning ratio, to know when we are making the loses to adjust yourself or to implement a new strategy.

Gambling with few amount of money wouldn't affect the happiness of a gambler. It's more about the way the player envisions his predictions. Gamblers who feel bad about their losses weren't prepared enough to gamble responsibly. The goal of gambling is for the gambler to enjoy his time and money spent. But most players now focus on the reward as the primary aim. Which has caused problem gambling for gamblers. Preserving our bank roll for another day, would help us to maintain a good gambling habit. There wouldn't be any fun in losing all the money a player has, in gambling. Any player who claims he's happy losing his savings in gambling is not saying the truth. It's all a way of deceiving himself to get more addicted to the game. Chasing their hopes or dreams of becoming a millionaire only returns void, such that the gambler who was once happy for losing his money, ends up sad and worried over his actions.

How about those who gamble to enjoy time with their buddies of friends?
Those who only have limited time to spare and wants to gamble at the same time, they would do it with their friends for fun and sometimes even if they are losing their time spent having fun with them is more important for them, than their profit.

Lol even millionaires aiming to win in gambling so that means one thing that they are not just for fun but for the money with that I will ask , is there really fun while losing in gambling? it is not funny in any  form like me who wanted to have fun in gambling but hated when I start losing so more when I go home a complete losers , I will neve accept that  funny when we are losing.
they may be enjoying mate , but do you really believe they are enjoying losing their money? indeed that they can pretend to be happy but in the back of their head? lol they are crying and sad .

I agree. It serves as their bonding moments. Similar to drinking alcohol or eating food. You're spending money, never gain anything but the happiness you get is worth it because of the satisfaction. For people who gamble to double their money, it's not fun to have losses because they have a desire. A goal that they want to achieve. But for people who just want to have something to do during their leisure time, satisfying themselves are their priority and that is through entertainment even they spend money to fulfill it.

I think this may depend on a game somewhat. There are very "video-game-like" experience options in casinos, especially in digital ones. My own grandma loved jackpot for example, I always asked her "are you winning?" she would give me a reply "I just love this game, I don't mind winning or losing". I observed she looked for fun in it. So if she wins she enjoyed even more. But gamblers which regularly gamble may differ from my grandma in the end.

LOL, it is different when you are enjoying the bond you don't really care about the money or the profit, it is all about the fun.

Exactly my point here, if you are bonding with your friends you wouldn't mind spending money to just to enjoy it, and if your friends way to have fun and enjoy time is gambling and you also want to play then all of you would just enjoy it.
Sometimes me and my friends would do it for fun, and after gambling we would then eat out the one who won would buy some extra snacks for the group.

The loss obtained from gambling is the same as when the gambler wants to get pleasure from other means if the gambler considers gambling as just fun, because many things that other people also do to get pleasure require money to be spent so if someone says gambling is just fun that is which is normal and means that the gambler can accept the results of gambling well because gamblers who consider gambling as fun will be able to respond normally to defeat, especially winning because that is something that will definitely be obtained because there is no gambler who will always be win and vice versa.

The fun in losing when gambling is only felt by people who gamble for the reason of bringing a light of excitement into their boring lives. Those who gamble with the aim of having fun, eliminating boredom at work, stress and socializing with the people there, can control themselves in gambling. The gambling mentality needs to be controlled to prevent deeper addiction which results in feelings of anger, depression or unwillingness to experience defeat. Those who can feel pleasure when losing do not place winning as their main goal. As long as they can get inner satisfaction while gambling, whatever the result will give rise to a sense of satisfaction that cannot be measured by anything.

Gambling is for entertainment and not for making money, there's no fun in losing money as we want to make money from anything we're doing but if you're gambling and you lose money, that shouldn't stop your fun. Continue having fun by using small amounts of money for gamble so in case you lose you don't lose a big amount of money that'll make you not to enjoy your time playing others games. When gambling you can lose a bet but still win other bet therefore you shouldn't just give up.

All individuals that are having a successful time gambling are very disciplined and planning their gambling activity so they don't get addicted. An addicted gambler won't know that he's losing money and will continue gambling regardless of if he's having fun or not and that's not good for his money as he can finish all his money then go broke due to over gambling without knowing.

It's really hard to believe that someone thinks gambling is fun when they lose. When a gambler bets his hard-earned money to win, how can it be fun if they lose again? Gambling is considered to be fun even if it is lost but those bets do not risk losing money. Again we know that bets that do not change money between winning and losing cannot be considered real gambling bets. People who think of gambling losses as fun must have a different perspective on gambling but that is not recognizable by the most gamblers. A person rich or poor who takes up gambling must take it seriously because it is concerned with the money.

Yes no one want to lost his earning money from gambling. Everyone has emotion and they play emotionally and they earn. No one will be happy when the face losses When they gambling. Everyone want to play safe and save their money and make profit. No one will be happy then they lost their hard work earnings. They always try to play seriously and make always try to safe their earnings because that their hard work earning.

Experiencing losing money in gambling is a risk that every gambler must face, but they also have other options if they don't want to experience losing money where they don't have to gamble and save their money for other things. It will be more useful for them because they will not lose their money and will not be triggered emotionally by losing their money. But if they only gamble with the money they can afford, they will not complain about losing their money because it is money they are ready to lose at any time from gambling. They also still save most of their hard-earned money because they understand that gambling games are just for fun and not for any other purpose. They also don't need to gamble too hard, especially if they use a lot of money because that can cause them to lose a lot.

Of course because in gambling there are only two end results if you don't win it means you lose at that time, and all the choices are in your own hands, like you said if they really don't want to experience the problem of losing a certain amount of money then obviously there is no other choice but not to gamble, but unfortunately most gamblers now they are too focused on a chance of winning, simply want to win but don't want to lose and isn't that a loser? Obviously, however, you can't do anything in gambling to increase the winning percentage to be closer or bigger, because it all depends on how lucky you are in running the session, what you have to pay attention and think about is how to prevent you from losing a large amount if you really want to engage in gambling and that means you have to have very good self-control and be firm in limiting the gambling you do.

So the point is that your choice  will determine your fate in the future, in any case and not only applies to gambling, you need to really find out what gambling is really about  before you finally get involved, if you already know  and are ready for all  the possibilities that will occur then please all decisions are in your hands as long as you have good responsibility.

It is really hard to believe especially since most people don't want to lose especially when it comes to money being involved. But still, for sure few people find it exciting when they've bet the wrong one as they feel the thrill of not always winning, I think it would apply to rich people like the elite ones that doesn't think of money despite losing that much, they are only focused to the fun of playing. An average person doesn't see gambling as fun but as an easy way to make profits and make your money grow. They are so rich that they just use it for fun, it is like a win-win situation for them if they win or lose, they have fun if they do not win but if they win then consider it as a bonus.

Losing a certain amount of money when gambling is normal because as long as we can limit the amount of money we lose, we will not experience losing a lot of money and exceeding the budget we have set. However, many people still gamble more than the amount of money they use, so they experience more losses. They are not ready to lose money, so they continue gambling and hope to win some money in the next round. However, we must be able to prevent losing a lot of money from gambling, especially as we want to avoid gambling addiction, which many people have experienced. That is why we must be able to prevent ourselves from gambling excessively because it will disrupt our financial position.

And instead of experiencing more losses when playing gambling, we should prevent this by always implementing limits. This will make us try to learn to be responsible and really try to prevent gambling addiction. We can decide what is best for us, especially since we have seen the consequences experienced by other gamblers, where many of them end up having problems after they finish gambling.

This is why it makes no sense to complain about your losses when gambling, as if a person is really a responsible gambler and they are only using money they can spare to lose, then they should know that even if they did not gamble they would have used that amount of money to get entertainment any other way, and this means they will not have that money on their pockets even if they did not gamble, so they are not really losing any money at all when you think about it.

It has to do with the mindset my friend, this mindset of being happy when I lose might be ugly to any but I started practising it in trading and it is helping me so well. This is why I also replicate it in gambling and it is helping me also. What is there is that people do not just have the right idea and opinion about it, it is not about the view that the person is useless, a vandal and a waster that will not feel it when he loses but it is an approach that is opposed to what is hurting people in gambling. I actually discovered this all by myself before I realised that other people are using it, it is just a means that will calm you down at losses and will rather preserve your betting/trading psychology and not cause you to resolve into emotional trading/gambling. I must confirm to you that it works, so let's forget about the hard-earned money, are they not losing in gambling even as they earn the money the hard way? If lost, will it come back to the person even if they are pained and even cried about it?

Instead, if not careful about it, the person will go on emotional while gambling/trading and will continue to try to revenge but will lose money over and over again. But to avoid triggering the negative psychology, one can position their mind on the brightness of mind when they lose, but it will be better comfortable to do if the bettors are playing with a low amount of money. This is particularly good in casinos and not sportsbooks but it is fine depending on what you want to play without any exceptions. So, if you bet with small amounts, it will be easier for you to let go when you lose but rather focus on the next betting and you will just be fine. This means that the bettor would have had a plan and budget before it could be easy. But risking so big at all times can be so inconvenient with this style of mind control.

I agree with this view. Whether it's for fun or not depends on the mindset of the gambler. Gaming for fun doesn't mean there are no bad days, it only means that the gambler doesn't depend on gambling to become rich. With this mindset, it is always a win-win. When he loses he feels nothing, when he wins he gains excitement. 

It is good we understand that people who gamble for fun have always had more wins due to the fact that they make fewer selections thereby increasing the chance of winning and overall, they always win.

There is no fun while you lose no matter what mindset you have.I have tried to apply this mindset saying to myself that I won't be sad if I lose in slot machines as long as this slot will give me the bonus several times during the session.I have gotten the bonus several times and lost in that session,I tried not to be sad yet it was impossible for me not to be sad.That is my argument that there is no real fun in gambling as long as the end result is losing.

exactly! this is true because we have all practiced it ourselves. when we gamble for fun, we will of course only choose to bet on small risks, whether it is a small or large choice, they will definitely choose a small risk and get a small win but it can bring happiness.

previously I said what @EarnOnVictor said, if it all depends on how we think about gambling and if we can think critically and have mature thinking, understand all the risks involved in gambling, we will definitely not have any problems because we already know what to do so that you can still have fun with small bets and when you win, even if the amount is small, this is the real goal for a gambler.

How people see gambling as "fun" can change a lot, and people gamble for different reasons. For some, the thrill of taking risks, the fact that the results are hard to predict, or the social aspect of gaming may make them feel alive. It is important to remember, though, that not everyone sees things the same way.

Bro, I think you will have to personalise this at this time because what is working for you might not be working for others, and what is working against you might not be working against others. Maybe next time, you should completely zero your mind about the money involvement and bet with a small amount of money as well and also bet on your favourite games and let it be when you do not have any ill feelings about gambling or think that you want to make that big money from it. If you think you can fool yourself by not being sincere with your mindset about it, the result will always be what you are saying now, so it is only when you are really ready to let go of the money involved but embrace gambling as a means to get fun, then only can you understand what I am saying and even feel it as well.

Before I go, there will always be controversy about this and some will never agree with it since their mindset about gambling and this particular ideology is wrong. So they should rather blame themselves for being hurt and not having fun and not others' styles. I can even remember when my wife was playing a game on her phone, we were there for about 2 hours at night not even knowing that time had really been far spent. She lost and gained at different times but we had the fun eventually as we were dragging the decisions to make by ourselves. A month has passed now, and she has not opened the gambling app. This is because it is nothing to her, she has a good job, so when she opens it, it is not the mindset of the money, but the fun. That is why losing is nothing to her not to mention my own style as well. Still counting and she may not open the app for months, this is the kind of mindset I am talking about, not the desperation kind of mindset.

When we don't want to lose when gambling, it's best not to gamble so we can save the money well. We will not feel like we are losing money because of gambling, and we can do other things that can also give us pleasure. But when we are provoked into trying to gamble, we can forget to control ourselves until we lose a lot of money. When we have experienced the loss of a lot of money, we will no longer feel pleasure but have replaced it with the desire to recover from the loss. But unfortunately, by trying to recover from these losses, we will only experience more losses, which is really not worth doing. We must really be able to limit our gambling activities before we experience bad things that can cause our finances to collapse and run out of all the money we have.

And it is true that before we start gambling, we should think about what the consequences would be if we lose the money we have collected so that we can make the right decision. We don't need to gamble like other people because we don't want to lose much money. The decision is in our hands, and we should really think about it before deciding so that we can make the right decision.

Gamblers should stop acting like losing is not the most occurring outcome of gambling. When a player already knows about losing in gambling. Why then would he get sad if it happens. It's more like being aware of an incident which is about to happen, and when it does occur the person begin to act as if he wasn't informed earlier about it. Same applies to the pleasure gained via gambling, but some wave it away and don't bother to remember the fun but decides to feel sad or angry if they don't win. One must not always win in gambling, losing comes more than winning. The earlier gamblers begin to get used to losing the better for them. They'll enjoy the game better than those who look forward to winning without losing. Getting over those losses will help the gambler to focus on his next valuable prediction other than chasing losses.

We spend money every day of our life, and gambling should be part of our budgets. Pondering in sadness over lost money in gambling is more like being sad for hanging out with friends and family ordering drinks and food in a restaurant, and the bill handed over to us. Provided we have the money and it's not too much of a bill, then clearing it wouldn't make us feel sad. Same applies to gambling. Once the gambler is spending minimal money his facial reaction wouldn't make any difference even though he losses the money. That's why we, gamblers, are advised to gamble money that we wouldn't feel sad losing. Like the instance I gave above, regarding visiting a restaurant. If you spend big amount of money in gambling and lose, there is no way anger wouldn't flourish in your mind.

I have to agree at some part of your statement but take note that gamblers are not dealing with the same gambling type.

Your statement is applicable at those gamblers who are used on doing sports betting and strategy-based games. In this type of gambling, they can surely find a way to bounce back and make their winning rate as good as possible over losing rate. On the other hand, when it comes to playing at pure luck-based games, it's all end up on being luck that's why most gamblers here always want to chase losses.

I have a very simple formula in gambling which helps me have real fun in it irrespective of the outcome and here it is.  Any funds I deposit into the platform is considered as a lost money by me, now I start configuring my strategy and testing my superpowers in my stakes, if it turns out negative, I laugh at myself and if positive, I congratulate myself. I don't cast any hope on it and I enjoy every bit of my involvement. Funny as it  may sound, sometimes I even stake the least possible outcomes, just to view the potential wins and ponder on the possibility of getting such big wins, since there's a possibility of getting almost anything from the platform. As  soon as my funds gets drained, its wrapup for me and I move on to the next activity for the day with no strings attached to the outcome of my gambling session.

There are instances where one might find fun even in a lost bet. Yeah, your money is gone but, you become proud still. It’s something that happens mainly in sports betting. As unusual as it may be, I’ll give you an instance.

Have you ever taken a bet against your team?
Most times, we tend to know these elite teams with less odds, often the favorites to win and when they are matched against a team which you fan but clearly, you don’t want your team to loss even though you acknowledge the superiority of the other team. You might be pushed to bet and bet on the favorite to win the game. Now, should your fanned team win, you loss on your bet but, your still half your team won. Should your team loss, you win your bet and somehow, be cool with what you’ve got.

There is fun in this still.
There might be other means to have fun but then, we wouldn’t dish gambling just because it has a possibility of loss.

You are having the wrong perspective about winning or losing.
I ask you: Do you always lose when you bet on games of chance?
Obviously not! At different times you win money, even if you lose later, then you win again and that's fun.
If you always made money gambling, would that be fun? I don't think so! It would certainly be great to make money all the time, but not fun.

Now, exchange gambling for a football match for your team at the football stadium. Many people pay a lot for the ticket, and I ask you: Does your tme always win? No! So why would you keep spending money to go see it? Because this is fun.

You need to separate things: Making money is not fun! We need to spend money to have fun, entertainment is not free, it is a source of income for someone and we are just consuming it.

it's just their illusion, not from the bottom of their heart, I am really sure they cry and regret why they lose the money. I used to be that when thinking gambling is just for fun, and it's okay if I lose. but when i try to play with a few satoshi and lost, I am regret and unbelievably why I am lost. It's just a few satoshi, it's not much a thousand. with my experience, if any people out there is still hapyy when they lost, I'm sure they're just calming their self, he tried to smile even in his heart he was disappointed and cried loudly  ;D

If someone gambles responsibly, they will not complain if they lose when gambling because they already know it is the result of using their money to gamble. If they don't want to lose their money, they don't need to gamble and keep their money. It will be better for them because by saving and using their money for other things, they will not feel sad or frustrated from gambling. They can also get pleasure from other things that don't use too much money so they won't lose their money.

When gambling, a gambler may experience losses more often than wins, so he must be prepared for the losses that will come to him. He also doesn't need to be sad for too long because by knowing that loss is coming, he can manage the use of his money so that he doesn't lose a lot of money. This needs to be arranged before he starts gambling because if not, he will only experience more losses, and that will make him feel sad about his losses. And when he feels sad, he will probably remember it for a few days and find it difficult to accept his loss. Gamblers should learn to accept their losses and avoid using much of their money. Someone who really wants to win will try to gamble more often, and even though he experiences loss, he will still gamble to chase a win. Gamblers must be able to learn from what they have obtained to become wise gamblers in gambling.

That is why, before gambling, a person must be able to allocate an amount of money that can be used for gambling and not deposit an amount of money that is more than he can afford. As long as we can allocate a certain amount of money for gambling and have clear boundaries and good self-control, we will not become excessive gamblers in gambling. We will always be careful in using our money because we really want to avoid excessive gambling. We also cannot spend so much money to gamble because we will always remember that we have many daily needs that we must fulfill. By always setting limits when playing gambling, we can try to enjoy gambling and can use gambling properly and also not gamble excessively.

On the time that we are really that losing money or missing out opportunity on securing profits then we do really make ourselves that having those kind of diversion into our minds that we are really just that fine but deep inside we are really that indeed crying and really that liking to explode. This is why it would really be that best that on the time that you do deal up with gambling then you should really be at least wary about those risks involved so that you wont really be ending up yourself having those kind of regrets on which you do at least having that kind of reaction on which you wont really be that affected that much even if you do lose money since you've been wary and you've been prepared on the things that could possibly happen or you are already that making those anticipation.

Experiencing defeat and losing money when gambling is a natural thing, but it depends on how we can respond to it. Namely by implementing limits so that we don't experience too much loss of money and of course by implementing these limits we can avoid gambling addiction because we are too chasing losses. We must be able to accept that losing is part of gambling itself and must be prepared for any outcome of winning or losing and can enjoy gambling as entertainment.

Indeed, by implementing things with limits, we can be disciplined and gamble responsibly and not cause things that are more detrimental to us (addiction) and we can take examples of people whose lives have been ruined because of gambling so we can learn that excessive gambling makes life worse someone gets messy and of course we don't want to experience something like that.

Yes, it is normal to experience loss and lose money, but what is unnatural is that many people still cannot accept their defeat and still want to gamble to recover their losses. That would increase their losses even more, and they would not know when to recover their losses. It doesn't feel good to experience loss, but if we can realize that this is a consequence that we have to accept when gambling, we can accept it well. We also won't gamble any longer because we know there is a possibility of experiencing more losses.

By having good discipline and responsibility, we can use gambling as entertainment because we know that chasing victory will only make things difficult for us, and we will not try. We will learn to be responsible gamblers when gambling because we don't want to gamble excessively, which could result in losing even more money.

One of the biggest misconceptions about gambling is that "you can only have fun when you win more". Stemming from the notion that most people who are gambling always shoot for wins and prizes. But the truth of the matter is that you can pretty much gamble, lose, and still have fun. That's only if you're gambling for the sake of being entertained however, which I argue is the best way to gamble in the first place.

Gambling for the sake of fun works cause you're not really after the win, you're after the rush that you get when you're anticipating the results of every match. If it's a win, it's great, if it's a loss, it's fine and you can pretty much go on without really losing momentum or whatever cause you're not after the results, you're basically just after the feeling.

So yeah, gambling and having fun even while losing is not a work of fiction or a theory, I have a couple friends who gamble occasionally and is able to have fun even while they are losing, that's enough evidence of the fact for me.

If you do play gambling with high expectation or really have that mindset that you could be ending up on winning or making money then this place isnt for you as the things you would mainly
encounter will really be that definitely against into your expectations and this is why it would be best that you should really accept on what are the  things that could happen along the way.
You shouldn't really be that making yourself that expecting too much on things which arent supposed to be that way. Having high expectation but on the time that reality
make you that realize that it was never been easy on making money with gambling specially if you arent that lucky enough. There are really people who are really that
too much abusing those kind of thoughts until they would be busting out themselves.

In a way it is really ironic that those that are unable to accept their losses and keep gambling hoping to recover their money are the ones that will lose the most of it, while those that can deal with the losses they got, as they know very well that gambling is just another hobby for them, will be the ones that will gamble responsibly and only lose what they can afford to lose, and while losing control like this once or twice is still acceptable, if this becomes common place, it would be better for those people to leave gambling behind as it is obvious they cannot really deal with it.

Don't you know what happened to them?
They have big goals and ambitions in making money from gambling and from this they cannot accept all their losses until they end up trying to recover their losses.
The goals and ambitions that are so big towards achieving profit will clearly not be able to accept when defeat occurs, over time the attitude of recovering from defeats that is always done ultimately makes them become addicted to gambling.
The impact of not being able to accept defeat is so great and can influence every gambler to make more frequent mistakes, but they all do it without realizing it because they have lost what is called self-control.

If we never think about making money from gambling then it is clear that we can always have sense of responsibility and wise attitude and that way whatever results we get will always bring happiness.
Losing is not the saddest thing as long as we gamble within limits and can use the money we are prepared to lose, it just that most gamblers use savings or money used for living needs as betting capital.
This makes it difficult for every gambler to accept their losses.

Well,in my own opinion I think there is no fun in losing gamble you can't keep losing money in gambling and you find it funny,for me I don't find it that fun reason is because it takes you alot of time to get the money u use to gamble just imagine letting it go just scoot free, I think the only people who find it more fun,is those who have source of income they can decide to gamble even if they keep losing they won't find any remorse in it, because they just see it as part of fun,how can someone who doesn't have any source of income keep losing in gamble and you expect him to be happy.

I guess if you don't have source of income and you keep betting and you never win,ever since you started gambling,I will advice you quit because if you keep betting in other to recover from your losses that's the more you keep losing more money,so I think quitting  is the only best option

You got the gist better than many of those I've been reading what they had to say about it. Gambling could be for fun, to make money and to make you sad, it is almost totally your choice on what will happen to you among all those listed possibilities. No one can certainly cause himself to make money in gambling, this is why I used "almost," and it is also the main reason why we should keep our money-making expectations from it very low. This is a good mindset that will not shift us out of the balance and will always neutralise our minds about it, that it is not the means of sure money but also a means to lose money if care is not taken.

However, if you make money with this mindset, you will be happy, after all, your mind is not so positioned on the money made, and that is the gist here and you will not feel it even if you lose. Also, there are so many people who deliberately know that gambling is fun and want to derive their fun from it, they do not just open their gambling platform or visit the casino house for money-making, but they embrace it as a social function where they want to entertain themselves. This is so possible and it depends on our mindset on this subject matter. Gambling could be some people's hobby and they still do not waste money through it, so it has to do with you, your beliefs/mindset about it and how you are engaging in gambling itself.

It's not weird at all. Many players treat gambling as fun, not just because they're spending money. It is not unlike when you go to a carnival or amusement park. There, you are going to spend money without any expectation of getting it back. However, in a casino, it's a different case. You can have fun while also having the chance that the money you've spent will be returned to you. It's all about your mindset. If you're going into a casino aiming to make money, you will likely be disappointed to find out that it's not guaranteed. However, if you go there with the mindset that you just want to have some fun, then you're going to have it. And if you're lucky, you can win money, which is even more fun.

Losing doesn't make a person happy in anything, you'll feel sad and disappointed, it's a natural feeling, but how long you stay down is what matters, some people recover from loses faster than others. If you go into gambling with a mindset that it's fun and that loses are part of the outcome of games and be sincere to yourself that it happens more often than winnings, then it wouldn't hit you so hard if it happens. If a gambler can gamble responsibly and be disciplined to bet the amount that he can afford to loose, then continuous loses can not affect him that much, he'd understand that it's the way gambling is, and he'd be hopeful that winning days will come.

that's right, those who gamble and experience defeat will of course be sad and disappointed, as much as possible there are people who can accept their defeat, maybe they won't mind it, but not happily, because in my opinion there is no loss that can make someone happy, especially Gambling is related to money, whereas all gamblers who gamble want money, so if they lose it means they are sad, not happy.

not to mention the wrong mindset about gambling, because there are people who gamble with an inappropriate mindset that makes them annoyed and reaches a point where they cannot accept their losses. and it could also trigger them to gamble again with the aim of recovering losses, but what must be paid attention to is, this is certainly not true, because the more losses they incur, the greater the feeling of disappointment and sadness they will feel. feel it.

Correct, nobody wants to experiment losses, in the mind of the regular gambler, the ideal session in a casino would be one where they are extremely lucky and besides having fun they also manage to pull off some life changing winning amount, a big jackpot. Though, we all know that won't be the case of the vast majority of gambling enthusiasts.
In reality, I believe it would be pretty good if gamblers could treat their losses with indifference, instead of feeling sad or depressed about them. We as human beings are capable of indifference and apathy, but that depends on our economical status. Nobody feels sad or depressed for losing a dime, though in the eyes of many losing a 100$ bill is a tragedy which will remain in their minds for a very long time (not in the eyes of the millionaires though).
If we learn how to feel apathy when facing losses and feel joy when the unexpected winnings, then we will enjoy more our gambling sessions.

Letting out the negatives and embracing the positives, and of course, managing our money in a responsible way so those losses won't affect the rest of our daily obligations and duties.
Those are my two satoshis in this matter.  :P

I think any one who wants to start gambling should know before gambling that there must be losses even more than winning in most cases that's why it is said that a person shouldn't be addicted to gambling or anything that's not profitable to them. Untill you have the believe that you aren't stopping even when you keep losing I don't think anyone who's losing in gambling will ever feel happy anyday. Even when you gamble with the amount you can afford to lose it doesn't make you to be happy when you lose because no amount is too small to be losing to a gambling company on a daily so I will advise people to stop relying on gambling because the player is always the loser.

A balanced view of gambling is refreshing. I've always thought gambling could be fun if done right. Not just the result, but the experience.

Those that gamble as a hobby have healthier connections with it, in my experience. Like a game, you enjoy the process, adrenaline, social contact, and winning! Always play responsibly. As you said, neutrality is essential. It keeps gambling entertaining and removes the strain of "winning at any costs".

Remember that gambling is social interaction. Its a way to bond, share, and escape. Some gamble socially, which is a great way to keep it fun and safe. After all, isnt life about enjoying the little things, like a dice roll or wheel spin?

If losing when gambling doesn't have any right to be enjoyable, perhaps you misperceive the words "gambling just for fun" in these words I interpret it as a memory so as not to go too far in gambling, the memory in question is like losing with the ability to lose and immediately stop, win, don't be greedy and stop immediately, this is my opinion, I don't know what others think about it

Others are not like this because instead of being sad, they acknowledge their loss as something that reminds them about their greater goal in life and makes them leave their bad habits at once whenever they suffer a huge loss. This happened to some of my friends when they decided to quit and choose to go abroad in order to work and earn some money along with moving on from their past bad habits here in our country, some of them became successful and completely forgot their past and changes the way they treat money because of their experiences on their works, while others get back to their old self when they get home and quickly influenced by their old homies.

We enchanced our ability to smile in the system, though it's not easy run but we have to fight for good results. Happiness in gambling when one is milking the system steadily without having any challenges or fears, that's the bigger picture of every gambler in the system. Perhaps we can only wished for gigantic profits but we can not make it work out because we don't control the system, and we know how broad the system is, so we shouldn't think of manipulation. There's no fun in loss, because the gambler tends to developed sad movies and we know what it means.

Having fun is a mental decision. A gambler who has conditioned himself to be happy, whether lose or win, would enjoy his stay in the casino with lesser troubles to deal with. While those who get disturbed after multiple loses go home wearing a frowned face, he'd be smiling over his loses and the fun he had while losing his money. When seen outside the gate of the casino, he wouldn't be seen as a person who lost money. Many would think he won some big amount of money. Those who look sad, we easily be tagged losers, which is exactly what they are, because of the sadness in them. Going home happily after gambling is a win for the gambler. Because it benefitted his health, and his money wasn't a waste. Disappointments erupts when the gambler winning expectant wasn't achieved or reached. All his dreams and thoughts of how he'd spend his own money, won't go with it. The player tends to try another day, until he gets to the point where he thinks those dreams of his has been reached.

Well, I managed to find a way to mitigate some of the losses. I bought some FUN, staked it on freebitcoin, and now I use the rewards in order to fund the betting and gambling I do. Every other time I lost in the past, I didn't have any fun at all, nor do I think losing can ever be fun

I think that not gambling any longer is not a solution. For instance, if I sell my laptop and use the money to gamble and then lose it, if I stop gambling, does it take away the fact that my laptop was sold and used for gambling? Of course not. The problem remains with the gambler whether he stops or not. If he stops, he must seek another alternative, either selling another property to replace his laptop if the laptop is so important to him or borrowing money. If he borrows money, he becomes a debtor and must seek a way to pay it back. On the other hand, if he continues gambling maybe he will win. But then, instead of advocating that a gambler shouldn`t gamble anymore because of the possibility of experiencing more loss, it will be more profitable for the gambler to set a limitation and stick to it.

Indifference to losses? That's a skill, but not about money. management, discipline, and emotional and response management are key. You treat indifference like a bank account switch. That's not true

Not becoming numb to losses, but understanding them. A loss is a lesson, a chance to improve and grow. Responsible money management is important, but so are expectations and emotions. That's the jackpot

Supporting healthy gambling promotes resilience, wisdom, and the ability to enjoy the game. Let's change the story. Not indifference, but educated engagement and emotional intelligence. The real wins are there

Well, I call it indifference or apathy because people to some extent can feel apathy towards lossing some money, as I explained. Would you lose your sleep if someone told you that you just lost 0,05$ in your bank account? I don't think you would.
Though, by being indifferent or growing apathetic to losses I don't mean we are supposed to suddenly become irresponsible and treat money as it was monopoly cash and not to worry about it, that is not the idea I want to transmit with what I say.

Also, understanding losses does not guarantee one is going to have a positive experience of gambling. Someone could understand the consequences of their losses or possible losses when placing a bet, and still over react or get depressed when the result turns against them, there is where one needs to emotionally face the consequences in the way I described. Though, it would be better just to adjust the wager according to the consequences one can mentally handle, when people skips that step, the problems start to accumulate, for obvious reasons.

What I understand from what you're saying is that you seem to think that a gambler who loses will be able to recover, or restore what they've lost through future winnings, which seems to be the point, but on the other hand  aren't we always encouraged to be responsible gamblers, which means accepting whatever happens at the end of the session without thinking about recovery.

I think what I'm saying is not out of line with some of the suggested gambling actions that lead to a precautionary measure, another thing is that maybe you also know that in gambling there is absolutely no certainty that can guarantee victory at the end of the session, and isn't it possible that initially you only lose a laptop and then you can lose a vehicle? On the other hand you can calculate how much money is sacrificed  as gambling capital to pursue victory and restore what has been lost, I'm sure that the amount of defeat is still greater even if you can restore your laptop that has been victimized. On the other hand, I understand that you advise gamblers to set limits and stick  to them rather than quit, but what you are suggesting is only to prevent something that hasn't happened yet and not at all as a dedication to restore something that has been lost.

They really have to change their expectations about winning from gambling because it will only make them deeper into gambling, and there is a possibility that they will experience even more losses. We can only use gambling as entertainment and nothing more because if we use gambling excessively, we will experience losses and lose money, which many people have felt. Those who still have high expectations about gambling will not realize that it has given them loss after loss, but they continue their gambling activities. Making money from gambling is never easy because they have to keep gambling without stopping, and that can result in losing more and more money.

Those who cannot accept their defeat will return to gambling and continue to hope to win. But no matter how hard they try, they probably won't be able to win even if they add more money to gambling easily. Gambling is entertainment and not a job that can make money, but they can gamble responsibly so they don't lose much money. These are the people who can accept their losses so that they will not experience serious problems from gambling because they only use gambling as entertainment. But when they feel they can no longer control themselves or start not being able to use gambling as entertainment, they must immediately stop gambling for a while or even permanently. If they still gamble, it is feared that they will really lose control of themselves in gambling and could suffer even bigger losses.

We don't know what happens to them, but perhaps they will experience bankruptcy that they never imagined because they will continue gambling until finally, there is no money left, and that makes them lose all their money. If they still can't accept the loss, they might keep gambling, and when they don't have any money, they might borrow money from other people, which will only create new problems for them. The goal and ambition to win from gambling make them forget that gambling is just for fun and not to make money, so they will fall deeper into gambling without being able to get out easily. That will only make them become gamblers who are addicted to gambling, and if that happens, it will be difficult to cure them.

However accepting loss is difficult, but we must be able to try to accept it because that is the result we will receive for playing gambling. We cannot refuse it, but we can reduce the number of losses so they do not become large by limiting our gambling activities. For this reason, we must have responsibility and discipline that can control us when playing gambling and prevent large losses. Accepting defeat and always remembering that it is a normal thing experienced by all gamblers will make us aware that gambling is still entertainment, and we don't need to gamble too seriously so that we don't experience bigger losses.

Selling the laptop and using the money to continue gambling is not a solution because he could lose all his money while he no longer has the laptop. And it's not fun if we lose, and we have to be able to reduce the number of losses so that they don't get bigger. Indeed, we will lose, but we will not experience a big loss, so it is a loss that we can accept. And because of the loss, we can advise them not to gamble and save their money to increase the amount of other money so that they will have more money. But if they really want to continue gambling, they should have limits on how they use their money and always adhere to them so that they don't gamble excessively.

Enjoying the game when you're constantly losing is like trying to find joy in a root canal. Sure, some folks might be into that, but for most of us, it's a recipe for frustration. Remember, losing is part of the game, but it shouldn't be your main motivation.

The bottom line? There's a whole world of excitement out there beyond the casino lights. So, ditch the risky bets and explore your passions. Find activities that make your heart sing, connect with people who make you laugh, and create memories that money can't buy. Trust me, the real jackpot is a life filled with genuine fun, not just the fleeting thrill of a gamble. Now go out there and find your adventure, one that doesn't involve hoping for lucky rolls!

I agree with this, because I think those who already have high hopes for gambling will not be able to stop gambling, including those who cannot accept losing, when they gamble they should be prepared for the risks involved in gambling, such as the risk of losing the money they bet, because in gambling losing money is certain, it is impossible to avoid. Also, winning is difficult to get, even though they spend a large amount of money, it does not guarantee that they can win easily.

There are also those who say that the more often you gamble, the closer you are to gambling. I'm not sure about this, because if this is true then it seems like many people have won big at gambling, but what is unfortunate is that this only makes them more trapped in gambling. where it will be difficult for them to get out of that trap. and in my opinion, with the many losses they get, those who still gamble continuously even though they always lose,  they don't get pleasure, but rather they get annoyed and want to get their money back, therefore many gamblers gamble continuously even though they always lose.

You are talking about extreme cases here where you say that one loses everything in gambling and he has no money left but to borrow money to gamble more. Lending money for gambling is never recommended but why the gambler reach such a situation where he has to borrow money or sell his assets ?

This means that the gambler is doing something extremely wrong that lead him to this situation. It is either he is not following any risk management or money management plan, or he to too emotional and greedy that he does not know how and when to cash out profits. Many gamblers will win in gambling but they do not handle their winnings properly, reinvest in games and then lose everything. And yes, there is no fun without money  ;)

There are still many people who are not ready to take risks in gambling, but they still try to chase victory because they feel they still have a chance to win. Even though the opportunity is not as big as the defeat they will receive later, it will make them forget to take care of themselves when gambling. And when they lose another amount of money, they will become even more disappointed and have a desire to continue gambling. Their goal has changed from originally just wanting to enjoy gambling as entertainment to instead changing to wanting to win the gambling game.

The more often you gamble, it doesn't mean you are closer to winning, but it will bring you closer to losing, which could result in many losses. And that will trap many people into gambling because they can't realize that they are gambling too much. Those who have experienced defeat from gambling should be able to realize that they should be able to stop themselves from gambling because it will only have bad consequences for them. But there are still people who continue to gamble because they still want to win from gambling and don't realize whether it is wrong or right, even though it is a mistake that must be corrected immediately.

There are certain gambling strategies that can help you reduce your losses if you follow these strategies. Gambling It is generally best to gamble three to four days a week, as gambling losses are more likely to occur when a gambler becomes addicted to gambling. That's why it is better to gamble two to three days a week, usually gambling is played by rich people for fun. But the amount of money you enter into Dua, divide that amount into three parts. You enter gambling with one-third, start gambling with that money, and stop gambling when the balance shrinks. A gambler who follows these strategies will certainly reduce losses.

Losing when gambling is no fun, especially when you're on a losing streak. You'll get depressed whenever you see all the money that you lost, and sadness will start to cripple you, and that's when happiness will start. You will now find ways to get back on track, and you'll be more disciplined in your betting.

Also, the fun is taking the risk to try more; you don't know whether it will hit or not. The anticipation and thrill of the mystery that is about to unfold are the enjoyable parts. This will cause adrenaline, and the risk and uncertainty associated with gambling can cause an adrenaline rush. This may be appealing to some individuals.

The other thing is that some people use gambling as an escape from reality. Gambling provides a temporary escape from everyday life. The focus on the game, analyzing things, and the potential for big wins can serve as a distraction for a short period of time.

Sometimes it’s way more about the thrill of playing and the emotion of not knowing what the outcome will be than about winning all the time

Intermittent rewards is definitely tricky and hooking

I am quite sure that for some gamblers who are looking for profit and victory from their gambling, it will give them frustration and annoyance, there is no sense of pleasure in them.
but for people who are looking for fun in games and/or joking with friends to enjoy gambling or betting, it will provide a sense of fun, this depends on a person's goal in gambling, but this thought will be ambiguous because most people gamble to seek profits and wins to multiply their money. , but believe me not all gamblers have goals and thoughts like that.

Most importantly you enjoy the game, it won't always win and it certainly won't always lose.
If you just hope to win this will be harmful to your own mentality and this could result in an over-addiction to gambling.

The euphoria when playing in gambling games, when betting is the main focus for myself.
Because fun will not be obtained when gambling just to determine how much profit to get.
Use only a small amount of money to gamble but get great fun.

The pleasure in defeat is possible when all is well managed.
Can manage emotions, can manage funds and do not force to gamble with large amounts.

Not stopping will make him sell another property, thereby compounding his troubles. If he stops, he wouldn't battle anymore with borrowing money or finishing his belongings for the sake of gambling. Gamblers who have decided to sell things to raise money, may not find it a happy ending if they don't win enough money. Such people are not expected to stay happy while losing. Gamblers who enjoy the process of losing, don't have anything to lose. Instead, they are winning by earning some experiences with gambling and how to manage their emotions and money. Gamblers are not governed by same mentality or aim. Everyone has his unique reason of participating in gambling. Some gamblers get the fun, while losing few funds and their time. Many others don't find it funny in any form. Differences in gambling has made it impossible for people to generalize on the effect of gambling on players.

Only a gambler can enjoy the joy of gambling. But I think there is no joy in losing in gambling. Because when money is lost there is no joy. But those who enjoy gambling find the strength to win again even when they lose. In gambling there will be wins and losses. Gambling is perfect for those who find joy in losing. I am not saying that any gambler truly enjoys losing, but since losing is part of gambling, we can simply accept it. If a gambler wants to derive real pleasure from gambling, he must take risks and have to prepare for the loss.

It's true, there are still many gamblers who don't think about the risks in gambling so that it's something that is always neglected in gambling. many of those who gamble only think about winning and not the risks in gambling. because the chances of winning are smaller than the chances of winning, it's not strange that many defeats are obtained because it's a natural thing in gambling and they should be able to realize this,  because this has become a certain thing in gambling. There are also many of them who experience changes in gambling motives, maybe there are gamblers who at the beginning they have a target but when they reach the target they change to want to get a bigger win. this also often happens among every gambler.

that's true, I don't believe in that, even though there are some people who say like that and they believe in that, I think that's just their alibi to keep gambling, in fact I think the more often we gamble, the closer we are to destroying our lives, that's that's what I thought. and it is true that gambling has a strong attraction, so many people fall into gambling and become addicted, but if they can restrain themselves, maybe bad things will not happen, such as addiction and big losses. It's true what you said, they have to be aware of the many losses they have had and this has to be corrected by not gambling too often.

They should be able to think about the risks of gambling so that they don't use a lot of money, which could make them lose that money because they might be less careful in managing their expenses. The chance of winning is smaller than the chance of losing, so they should be able to reduce the risk of losing so that they don't lose a lot of money. Otherwise, they will only regret it at the end of the game, but if they are already addicted to gambling, they will not regret it because they do not see the amount of money lost at the gambling table as worth regretting. They will only come back another day with bigger money and the hope that they can gamble and win big.

Yes, that's just their excuse to return to gambling, but they can't realize that it will destroy their lives because they will lose a lot of money from gambling. Gambling has its appeal so that it can make people return to gambling more often without considering that gambling should be done for fun and entertainment. They forget to restrain themselves from gambling excessively and should also be able to increase their vigilance in gambling so that they can control the use of their money to prevent more losses. However, they must improve it by reducing their gambling activities so that they do not fall deeper into gambling, which will only destroy their lives.

Sometimes gambler has too many dreams or imagines that they can have big win or even jackpot that can change their fate and life, so they have too high ambitions for gambling.
This is kind of attitude that is characteristic of gambler, wanting to say no but in reality that is exactly what is happening and it will be difficult to understand it.
Those gamblers who experience conditions like this will never be able to realize what they are doing because they cannot control themselves and have awareness of every impact that occurs.
Carelessness is mistake that almost cannot be avoided, especially for gamblers who often act rashly in every action they take, gamblers will only think about what they think is right.
A more significant impact can occur if gamblers borrow money just to add betting capital so they can continue gambling sessions.

In this case, what I will say is that accepting defeat cannot be as easy as we say, perhaps we often say and convey that every gambler must be able to accept defeat.
But there is belief in me that it is difficult for them to adopt this kind of attitude.
A sense of responsibility and wise attitude are big influence on what we are saying, if gamblers don't have these two attitudes then they are clearly on the verge of ruin.

So what is meant by happy here is the gambling activity. not about losing when gambling. Of course, every player wants to win in gambling and will definitely feel lost when they lose.

However, if the context is the pleasure of playing, yes, even if you lose, you will certainly get satisfaction because you have gambled according to your wishes. and everyone also has their own views on how to enjoy themselves.

People who are still happy when they lose may be in a good mood or maybe they are successful in other areas which can cover their small losses in gambling.

But for sure, I am happier when I win and get money. Sometimes I also experience defeat but it doesn't make me regret it, but to be happy when I lose is very strange for me. If the betting amount is small, that's normal because it doesn't affect our gambling budget. But if you use more than 30% of your gambling budget and lose, it's very painful.

Yes, when someone gambles when their heart is happy and doesn't have any problems, of course they won't think about the wins or losses they get and they also only gamble for fun and after they finish gambling they will still be happy even if they lose.

Of course everyone wants to win from the gambling they play because if they gamble and lose they will of course think about how to continue gambling if they no longer have the budget to gamble and if after losing they still have the budget to gamble of course this will not be a problem because they can still continue if we really want to gamble.

In my opinion, they are not very careful nor do they always consider the actions they will take well, so they can spend a lot of money just for gambling. The possibility is that if they are addicted to gambling then I don't think they will regret it, even if they are addicted and regret it, I think there is a chance they will be able to stop, it is possible that by regretting the actions they have taken they will stop gambling because they are aware of the big losses they have suffered. receive or gain while gambling.

But even so have you ever thought about where the pleasure in gambling lies?
In my opinion the joy of gambling lies in winning if they win or get a win then they will be happy and conversely  if they lose or lose then they won't be happy Also in my opinion there seems to be no pleasure in losing.

Consider a game where the result is always known. Not very interesting, is it? Chaos, unpredictability, and the "what if" are the elements. Its not about how it ends; it's the narrative you tell yourself when the cards are dealt, the dice are rolled, or the stocks rise and fall. Humans are naturally drawn to ambiguity and like to overcome obstacles even when reason tells us otherwise. And what about giving up when you feel regret? It resembles attempting to use your bare hands to stop a moving train. The mind is aware of the game, but overcoming it calls for a complete overhaul of one's reward system in addition to realization. Irrational? perhaps. Unthinkable? Not at all.

That makes sense, like in slot gambling, I think in slot gambling the final result can be known with certainty, you will lose more often. However, many people still ignore this because they still have high hopes for the wins they can get in slot gambling. of course the game being played will cause the amount of capital used to fluctuate, because if you just deposit money once for example and the capital keeps going, of course that's not interesting, but if it goes up and down then there will be an interesting sensation, it's better if always makes it rise, it will make us feel at home and continue gambling.

If we feel regret, I don't think it will make us give up, because there are people who regret what they do but they don't give up on the gambling they do, there are only a few people who gamble and regret the results of losing gambling and they give up and stop gambling. , but that happens very rarely. Very rarely do people regret it and then decide to give up.

Gamblers always dream of getting a big win, so they keep gambling until they can get that big win. Even though they had experienced more frequent losses, that didn't stop them from pursuing a win because their goal then had changed to trying to get a big win. If they realize it is difficult to get, they should not try it because it will cost them a lot of money, and they cannot get big wins. They will only experience bigger losses and will also experience gambling addiction because playing gambling for longer can trigger them to experience gambling addiction and lose more and more money. These gamblers cannot realize what has happened to them and will only experience more problems. Gamblers will only make more and more carelessness without realizing it.

It is not easy to accept defeat and requires an understanding that when we gamble, we use money to gamble, so we must realize that losing is normal. However, they need to accept the results they get from gambling so that they do not desire to chase wins or recover losses. If they have a responsible and wise attitude, they will not experience as many losses as other gamblers have experienced.

Yes, they are not careful when gambling, so they spend a lot of money gambling even though using a lot of money does not guarantee they can win. They will only experience loss, which can increase if they do not realize they must stop immediately. There is a possibility that they will experience a gambling addiction, so they should be able to realize it before it is too late because if they already have a gambling addiction, they will not think about other interesting things but will gamble more often.

The joy of gambling is that they don't have much time to gamble, but they can use the time they have to gamble, even if it's only for a short time. Indeed, the pleasure of gambling will be even greater if they can win, but often, they will lose, which will not make them happy. As long as we can use gambling properly, we will not complain about the losses we experience.

To do that takes a big heart and this is not healthy way to gamble. It is a greedy step and someone who is taking such risk should be sure to understand the risk on that because if that fails, the gambler will look very sad. However, there are high stakers that never mind such consequences and will go on to take such risk.

Betting for fun is not when you have used a high risk on your bankroll, you can only have peace with yourself if you have gambled a very low amount incase of losing.

Gamble when you are in a happy mood, the gambling will feel fun, especially if the person is gambling just for entertainment, so even if they lose, it doesn't really affect them because they have prepared their finances to have fun gambling, meaning they are ready to lose that money and have definitely limited their budget to gamble so that it doesn't disturb the financial stability they have, because sometimes gambling can increase the dopamine in our body. But there are also people who initially are in a happy mood but when they gamble and experience defeat, their mood actually gets worse so this depends on how they use it. gambling for fun or to make a profit.

Of course, everyone wants to win, but some people understand that gambling sometimes wins and sometimes loses, therefore we have to be prepared for whatever happens to the gambling we experience and it doesn't affect our finances even if we lose.

No individual wants to lose, there's no fun in losing but some individual just gamble for entertainment therefore they don't care if they lose or win. Most gamblers want to win so they keep playing even when they know they're not good to win. Gambling in an attempt of making money is more popular than gambling for entertainment. As a gambler if you continue losing regardless of how you try different types of games, you should top gambling and stop saying you're enjoying losing.

Some rich individual love to gamble as a form of entertainment and they lose money sometimes but they don't do that intentionally, no individual would want to lose money when they're gambling but if losing happens, those set of gamblers doing it for entertainment won't get angry unlike those gamblers that are playing as they want to make profits. When gambling we should know our limits so we don't lose too much.

No one wants to lose, but that is the gambling risk. If they want to gamble, they have to know the consequences so they don't have to spend a lot of money, which can prevent big losses. They only need to use enough money to gamble, especially the amount they can afford so that whatever happens at the end of the game, they are okay with using that amount of money. Even though they don't like seeing defeat coming, they can still accept the result and have no desire to recover from their defeat. But what happens is that many gamblers cannot accept their losses and feel that they can recover them, so they deposit more money to recover their losses.

They can only enjoy gambling as entertainment and they can return to gambling another day so they don't have to experience big losses in one day. This can prevent them from getting frustrated because they have lost at gambling so they can accept their defeat well. They also need to limit the amount of money so they won't regret it too much.

Losing is a sign of the human condition, not merely play. You say some play for the excitement, undeterred by defeat, while others chase victory like air. The problem is that gambling isn't a reliable source of revenue. Some people enjoy it, while others don't

Those who bet for amusement have accepted the risk of losing. Understanding the entertainment value, they gamble responsibly. But entering the arena solely to make money is a recipe for failure. Expecting to win and beat the odds is risky

Recognizing gambling's reality is more important than loving losing. A loser is inevitable in every game. When victory becomes a quest for lost ground, problems occur. Knowing when to retreat is crucial. The goal is to know when entertainment finishes and compulsion begins, not to quit at the first hint of failure

I would say that it is an irresponsible approach to gambling, all gamblers do not like losing especially with the amount of 30% of the amount of income they make from work, and this is an approach to gambling that refers to the possibility of addiction in the end because the inability to accept defeat will make a person do a lot of out of control actions that ultimately increase their sense of addiction and gamble with the aim of restoring what has been lost before.

However this is the wrong way of gambling because the possibility of risk will continue to lurk them and what will happen is obviously the amount of defeat will be even greater, I think from this alone we can already conclude about the purpose of their gambling, in the sense that if they put a large amount then it can be ascertained that their goal is to seek a big win while on the other hand there is absolutely no certainty in gambling that can guarantee you win, so of course it is always recommended to only put small amounts such as 5% in gambling because with this then we will not suffer financial problems in life due to the wrong way of gambling.

Even though I come across of this post three times I will continue to disagree the fact that gambling is for fun, mostly people who said that gambling is for fun, gambling is all about another alternative to make money but caution it that gambling is all fun, that is a hope of losser in gambling, so when we talk of gambling we talk of making money through it, the major reasons why people gamble is because of the want to accumulate their funds at they already have, so I don't believe the fact that gambling is for fun, the major reasons I gamble most at times is because I want to make money and that is why when I lose in gambling I do be agree towards it.

We all have to be clear about something, if we enter a Casino it is not that we are Going to Leave the money we want, what we are looking For is to Win all the time , but we must be Intelligent, it is known that it is difficult to Win in a casino , because the things are like that , there is always the house advantage and that is something we must really see, we Cannot go to a casino and expect that every bet is a win and that as we put a lot of  we never have to beat swear, no, The things that people do think that way are very wrong and that is Something that we Cannot stop , therefore when we are looking for things to do or how to deal with them , we have to learn that we are people who are always going to have to do the right thing Better to be Able to Determine things well , in this Order of Ideas, as a player I must be Clear that Casinos were First Invented as a Measure of Enjoyment and enjoyment, so yes, that's why they Say that the casino is for Enjoying it , yes.

But as I said from the Beginning , we as gamblers must always seek and Want to win , But since we can't, but to win in a casino things are very Random , it is not written that they can win or anything, we are hoping that We always do this to be Able to have as much Experience as possible  , if We are clear about that, we must first Accept that the game should be enjoyed , in fact it is made for people over 18 years of Age or Considered adults, so that we are aware of our Whatever mistakes we make, then, we cannot pretend that if we are Losing we are Happy , nor that we were so masochistic , Obviously we will not be well , But even so for the Entire process we have been Enjoying the process, and if we lose then there is more to it The only Way to do it is to Accept and Resign ourselves, stay with the fun and accept the designs, wait for another opportunity and move on , because if we try to do things Wrong , we will lose more Money and Possibly get into an Addiction.

not all of my lifestyle, there are those who enjoy traveling, shopping and other activities, but for gambling addicts who want to reduce their addiction they will prefer to gamble and have fun in the game even though they experience defeat but they will think that it is a fair price to pay for the pleasure he paid for, but if he wins he will enjoy the results, humanly no one likes losing

In my opinion, one of the things why people claim that gambling is just for fun for them, I think it's nothing more than just removing the effort of seriousness in gambling, I am also one of the gamblers who claim that gambling is more recommended for recreation  and seeking entertainment with some sensations that we get from various situations that are there. I understand that most gamblers assume that there is no  other reason for anyone to gamble other than to come with the aim of earning, but the question is, can you really earn? I know anyone can win but will you be able to stop gambling when you manage to get a win? No, when people think and assume that gambling is a place to earn then this is where the danger is, because their mindset will continue to lead to winning which is basically absolutely no certainty that can guarantee you to win.

And with this mindset and assumptions, it will create hope and confidence in victory which on the other hand usually someone will continue to pursue victory without caring about the possibility of defeat which clearly cannot always be avoided because gambling always involves taking risks, the point is if there is absolutely no consistency in terms of victory, it will only happen occasionally when you are lucky. I understand that gambling is not always fun especially when you lose, but with assumptions like this there will be no significant seriousness in our minds towards gambling activities and we will only gamble when we have free time to fill boredom. For those who have a goal to win then it is certain that they will force the victory to come and one of them is by making many experiments which ultimately makes the number of losses greater because anyone will never know when they can win.

The gambler who get addicted to the gambling can change their addiction by exploring them towards the outside environment.The gambler who get free time and get lonely by the daily activities becomes the gambling addict in the short period.Because they had the money the more free time,So they play the gambling and losing the money by the gambling addiction.But if the gambler gets engaged with their other friends or roaming around the world helps themselves go away from the gambling.If the gamblers made good winning by the gambling addiction it will become the real income making activities to the gambler.

If the gambler are new person,the initial loss is not felt by the gambler.Because the loss also give the gamblers more knowledge in the gambling site,when you earn the money from the gambling it won’t affect the gambler internally.And if the gambler manage the gambling loss in the trading also not felt by the gambler in real world.The gamblers should do the trading in parallel with the gambling,So he can do the trading in the side of the gambling.The gambler can use the money from the trading which is the profit into gambling.The free money from the trading will not affect the gambler at the loss in the gambling site.

One thing I know for sure is the fact that everyone is entitled to their opinion and not agreeing to the fact that people can actually gamble for fun is your opinion and convincing you otherwise may just be another futile attempt to force a horse to drink after successfully leading it to the stream.

Your perception nevertheless does not in anyways change the fact that people of a truth actually gamble for fun but then you will still want to think it's not true, but I will only agree with you if you say every gambler is usually expectant whenever they place a bet even if they actually did it just for fun and such is common amongst the rich and not the average or poor,.it's usually uncommon to see a poor gambler gamble for fun or entertainment but I'm almost very sure some rich gambler does gamble basically for fun alone.

because in general no one likes to get tired from gambling, gambling addicts will be considered worse from a general perspective, but there is definitely a good side too, because of their harmony with gambling they win more games than they lose, but when it comes to gambling addicts the bad thing is that what you say is very true, but the topic "is there any joy in losing"

For me, I gamble to have fun, not to make money, it's not all about losing in gambling, there are still winners, but most of the others are losers. On my side, gambling is just like games or online games, I spend money to enjoy myself, do you get it? You may have also played online games, that's how I think about gambling, it's a game and it's true that it's fun to play, you just really need to control yourself and budget so you don't overdo it. If you keep losing in every game you play, you really won't be happy and that's really part of gambling and then you stop playing.

That's how it should be, and it's not just about trading activities in the market, but it can also apply to other businesses controlled by someone with the hope of making more money. That's it.

When someone has a lot of money, their allocation for gambling will be more flexible because meeting priorities with a large amount of money is certainly easy to do. After basic needs are met, the allocation for gambling will be determined, and it can make them safe from financial disturbances. It means the gambler will be able to survive even if they bear the worst risk of gambling, which is losing.

The worst risk if someone doesn't have a stable income is experiencing bad things like failure in all trading lines they pursue. Plus, a few losses from gambling can truly devastate them.

For me personally, what I mean by gambling is for fun because I know and will be ready to accept all the risks of gambling. So if I win, I feel happy. If I lose, of course I will feel disappointed, and for me feeling disappointed is very natural because of course every time we play we hope to win, not lose.

So it doesn't mean that when you lose the game and are disappointed then you are said to not be gambling for fun. Gambling still has an expression that must be expressed and that is fine as long as it is under control. If you are excessively disappointed, such as not being able to sleep and thinking continuously which leads to stress, then this is dangerous for your concept of gambling, and you must fix it immediately.

What you are doing is good by gambling for fun, so you don't think about winning or losing. Gambling should be used for fun and not to make money because it will be difficult to get. We will probably experience defeat more often than we will win, especially since gambling is not a place to make money. As long as we can use gambling well, we will not think about chasing victory and just want to enjoy our free time by gambling. When we lose, we also don't think about recovering from that loss because we already know it is very difficult, and we tend to experience more defeats.

You have an understanding and approach that is recommended in gambling, I hope you can maintain this approach because this is the best that every gambler should do if they are involved in gambling activities. As you said, gambling is not a place to make money and I will mention one of the reasons why we should carry this belief in gambling, because everything there is nothing more than a game of chance, in the sense that if you are lucky then you will win but if otherwise then obviously you will lose money.

One of the reasons why people prefer to consider gambling as a fun activity is because of the possible risks that we cannot completely avoid there such as losing, I understand that anyone can get a win but the problem is that it will happen when you are lucky enough in one of the sessions you do, and obviously if you are unlucky then you will lose, And maybe we all know that luck does not always come and it will only happen occasionally, meaning that if you treat gambling as a place to earn then obviously you will do a lot of experiments which means that your actions will actually lose more money than earn, such understanding should not be ignored and must be kept in mind.

If you bet without thinking about winning or losing, you don't need to analyze any team and just blindly putting your bet which not make sense at all. There are many gamblers talk about speculations and analysis, they're looking to win, but not necessary it must win.

There's a difference between gambling as best as possible and gambling only to make money.

I disagree with you. If you claim to gamble for fun and get disappointed when you lose then it's no longer fun. The question then is what differentiates you from the person gambling for money? A person gambling for money also feels disappointed too. Since gambling is full of uncertainty it means you will lose more than you win so if you continue to show signs of disappointment how will you catch the fun? To me, what is fun is what makes someone happy and as long as you get the reverse of happiness there is no fun.

I have gambled both for fun and for money and I will tell you that the reaction of a person after the outcome of the game is what justifies his reason for gambling whether for fun or money. The times I gamble for fun I feel happy regardless of the outcome but the times I play games hoping for returns I am angry when I don`t win and anger is a show of disappointment.

Just like online games where you need connectivity to participate and sometimes you pay a few dollars to unlock certain feature so is gambling, their is according to your point of view and I'm definitely agreeing to it because these are almost exact same thing especially for those gambling for entertainment and not for the financial rewards.

Those who gamble to make money may not be able to relate so we'll with your point of view because for them they will think it's not feasible that you spend only little amount in such games but spend big when it has to do with gambling but then actually they spend big gambling because of their quest for more which at some point grow into greed and they may not accept they it's gree that has led to increase in stake which in turn is increased risk, but if you do minimal stake you will get to understand the relationship between online games and gambling except for the financial rewards.

unfortunately, a lot of gamblers are thinking this activity as their way to pay off their debt or should i say out from poverty. hence, they are trying their luck on this addictive activity. making them vulnerable to losses and other problems attached to this activity. i can understand for sportsbettors or poker players, because professional players of these games can truly make this as a living and much more.

but if you say you are playing and trying your luck in dice or roulette, i don't think this is a smart idea to expect that you will go home with something in your pocket. because you are just being hypocrite with yourself.


let's look at this way, sure we are looking at this to have fun. but of course deep inside, we also want to have some winnings as much as possible. but not to get too disappointed, don't expect that you can truly go home as big winner or something significant amount will be in your pockets. because the reality is - most will go home as loser if you don't know how to stop.

Online gaming and entertainment gambling are a good match. I always saw them as two sides of the same coin. You pay a few dollars for an added function or satisfaction. Its entertaining and thrilling. This is when it gets fascinating for me. Your point about profit gambling resonated. I've seen friends gamble for significant wins, and its different. The stakes and emotional investment are higher. A hunger drives it, not just a love of the game. Isnt it fascinating how perspective and what we want from these encounters determine it all?

I support enjoyable gambling. Entertainment, strategy, and regulated gambling thrills matter. Keeping stakes modest and enjoying the game as an experience, not a paycheck. Its a way to relax, connect, and possibly discover ourselves.

That's how it should be, gambling for fun and considering that gambling is just a form of entertainment. However, sometimes with the time we spend gambling, this view can change a little, namely when we get a number of wins that are quite large, which we have never had before. Where sometimes this win can change our paradigm towards gambling and can change our behavior in gambling. As we see that gambling is the easiest place to multiply money and make a profit, so in the end we gamble more than the reasonable limits that we have previously determined. Therefore, it is quite important for us to be able to control ourselves and our emotions well, so that this can make it easier for us to control the gambling activities we carry out. Another important thing is for us not to be too enthusiastic when winning gambling in large amounts. Big, we have to be able to act normally and if possible, when we win, immediately decide to withdraw from gambling to just rest and calm our emotions.

Online gaming and gambling share connectivity and investment qualities, but quite different mindsets and outcomes. As with movie tickets, entertainers spend for the experience. Not for the jackpot, but the fun. It's controlled, so investing a few cash boosts fun, not stakes
Now for serious gamblers. Hope, not greed, starts their trip. The excitement of gambling and winning. It's tough because hope turns into greed slowly, often unnoticed. Understanding their mentality is more important than condemning their choices. They consider gambling a risky investment. Most important? Balance, self-awareness. Supporting healthy gambling requires knowing when to pull back and gamble within means. Experience, not stake size, matters. The outcome depends on their understanding and relationship with risk and reward, not gambling itself

Ideally, you can only get the best from gambling when you gamble for fun and entertainment but then things don`t always go as it is supposed. For instance, we send a child to school with the hope that he will stay focused and graduate, most of the students in college lose focus and engage in activities detrimental to their education in the end they drop out of school and start constituting nuisance in streets. This is similar to gambling, some gamblers gamble for the wrong reason and end up creating problems for themselves, family, friends and society generally.

I agree that winning can change people`s approach to gambling. Someone who gambles for money can easily increase his stake to win more and this is always the first step of reckless gambling. When you increase your stake and lose, the next option available is to recover from the loss immediately and this gradually drives the gambler into problem gambling. But then, a fun gambler will not be trapped in this because winning is not the sole aim of gambling and so it becomes very easy for him to control himself.

It's fun to challenge you in a game while betting $1, I mean if you win me then it's a $1 lost, the excitement will be there because what I am risking is very little, so much within my reach.

The real reason why gamblers are not having great time in gambling is because they are risking a lot of money on gambling, you don't expect to laugh when you lose hundreds of dollars in gambling that you are not prepared to lose.

The reason why I like gambling is simple, what you pay for is what you will get, you risk high amount, you get heavy pain if you lose or a big laugh if you win, but if you risk small money, you get to laugh if the game is fun and entertaining, or if you win you take your profit too.

It's a big fat lie if anyone said yes, there is no man who will be happy if they lose their money, there is no fun in that, because your money isn't coming back, but there is something that gamblers can do to have no pain losing their money, and that's risking small amount that you can call a piece of cake if you lose, see it as another day at the park with your family or watching a new movie in the cinema.

---

To spill the fact about gambling, only small numbers of people are truly happy with their gambling results, majority of people including myself lose money more than we win, but it's nothing to me compare to someone who use money meant for their bills or rent, I risk small money that I can use on some burger or waste on some new PC games.

The less reckless you are in gambling the better it will be for you, we all love taking risks but some people take higher risks that will end up hurting them if things don't go as plan, I can't expect to make large amount of money from somewhere I don't provide my services, working in a casino is marginally different from gambling in a casino, one expect his salary when the month ends, and the other depends on his luck, he might lose or win. Too uncertainty as a gambler, obviously the answer is already there.

While I agree with your point of view about the size of the wager and the excitement one can get out of it, I would like to point out something I have read before on gambling addiction and the size of wager. It seems that some people reach a point when they do not longer feel thrill or excitement when wagering only a couple of dollars at the time, for them to continue to feel anything positive during their gambling sessions, they need to wager dozens or even hundreds of dollars at the same time, otherwise, it is like they were not risking anything at all.
It is similar to the resistance some drug addicts develop when it has been a while for them taking the same doses of cocaine or crack cocaine, they need to continue to increase to dose, otherwise they do not feel anything. In the case of gambling addiction, I would say that is the beginning of the end for someone in that situation, in the case they do not realize and do not stop immediately.

The problem being there is a very wide gap between the amounts being wagered in the casino and the usual monthly income of the gambler, someone in such state of mind cannot longer think about responsibility at all, only can think on gambling and pleasing their desires.

As it should be on which this is the main thing that you should really be dealing up with gambling on which it is really just that for fun and not for making money. Once you do found out yourself on
having those kind of money aims or profiting then this is where desperation would really be kicking in, on which you would really be finding yourself that be desperate because you dont really like
on having those loses on which we know that these things are inevitable. On the time that you do lose money, is it fun? there's no fun on losing money even if we do say that you are just that playing for fun on which it is normal about those disappointments since we are just humans. The difference only here is that on the time that you are doing gambling for fun is that you could easily be able to accept
those unfortunate conditions and could easily move on, comparing into those people who are aiming just for money.

That's the normal thing in gambling, if you have been losing all day long and you are just so disappointed with all of it. All you have to do is to find fun on it so that you're not going to be frustrated to the point that you have no return on it. What matters is whether you lose or win, you're enjoying it and there's no regret. It is what makes a gambler have fun while doing some bets and it's up to you on how you're going to satisfy yourself with any reasoning.

It is a good treatment as you play games, you buy some in game items and you're also spending money on it. So, you enjoy and also play at the same time. That what usually comes with every gambler that don't see any fun in gambling when they're mostly think of it as a way only to make money. They're not wrong but they need to think of something else as they gamble for them to realize that there is no fun in losing and you have to find yourself on how to be fun when you gamble.

Many of us may ask questions about someone reasons for gambling, and many of them answer for hobbies, entertainment after work, for fun and even quite a few people answer that alternatively making money is the answer, from that I think that gambling is what they do have many to motivating factors that ultimately turn them into active gamblers, but from several my friends  experiences, I actually see that the pleasure they get from gambling is only when they play and win, but when they lose, we can see that their emotions start to look unstable and even will tend to get angry and rage when we are greeting or joking.

I personally don't like losing, do you? But we all know that losing is part of the game and it challenges us to crave for the win. Who else dreamed of losing? Losing can be painful but some gamblers are immune to it and they don't lose hope until they got the victory. If I lose all my funds for a particular gambling let's just say I spend $5-$10 I call it a bad day and better luck next time.

Do you get some fun or entertainment if you lose in gambling?

By the way, online games and gambling are different. In most of the online games, you just play them freely. You do not lose money in online games neither you spend your money in them. But in gambling, it is altogether a different story.

Here you have to spend the money in order to gamble and you can lose your money too. I understand that your fun becomes doublefold if you win money too, but your energetic feelings can soon turn into sorrow if you start to lose in gambling. Unless you are very rich and do not care for the money you lose, it is not so easy to have fun while losing in gambling.

No one per se enjoys losing but the reaction to the loss is what makes the difference and this reaction differs from person to person. Sound funny but true, some gamblers find a certain level of fun in the experience of losing in gambling. Some are also concerned with the social interaction among other gamblers and not the outcome of the game. Gamblers who are academically inclined can find pleasure in games like Poker and Blackjack and so the mental stimulation it provide is what matters to these people.

Let me point out that craving to win because we lost is not a good sign. A gambler can even record more losses if he is bent on recouping his losses. The inability to recoup the loss can lead to problems of anger, frustration, anxiety and even depression.

It can be understood that a person background when deciding to gamble is very different, winning or losing for some people who come with the aim of having fun will not have a big influence. Enjoying the game may be a pleasure in itself, logically the peak pleasure of gambling is winning or making a profit. There are also some people who gamble for classic reasons such as wanting to get rid of boredom, so for people like that, losses are not a big problem, but if they keep doing it, I think it will be problematic in the end.

In reality, the people we mentioned above are only exceptions to most gamblers, where their main goal in gambling is to make a profit and avoid losses. There is no other goal, pleasure can be channeled elsewhere according to one passion, gambling causes more losses than profits. On the other hand, I also wonder whether gamblers ever feel bored, because they do the same activities over and over again.

It would matter on self acceptance in regarding on what are the things that you would really be that able to just simply move on on the time that you would be losing and just proceed ahead
and continue to play just because you are already aware on what are the things that you would really be able to encounter on the time that you would really be dealing with gambling
on which we know that losing is inevitable plus the house is always that against us then it would be not shocking that we are really that in great disadvantage but of course everything
would really be just that depending on how well you would really be handling yourself. Luck factor will really be that always giving out that advantage
on winning the game but we know that this one comes randomly. Losing is inevitable and this is why self acceptance and control of emotions would be needed.

No one likes losing in gambling because after all even though we realize that losing and winning is a normal situation in gambling but still no one likes it if in the end we lose in the game that is done.
This is a very natural reaction bcause no one wants that but indeed in this case as you said that in gambling the biggest risk is losing and the potential for losing will be much greater than winning in the end.

But on the other hand we also have to be aware of the risk of gambling because after all we have to know the reactions that we bcause from the conditions that occur after gambling and defeat is accepted .
This is an important thing because after all we must realize that with this we can determine whether we deserve to be a gambler or not because if in the end if we have the mentality of a gambler we will definitely not be too bothered by losing even though it is very unpleasant but we must know that risks like this always happen.

there is no pleasure in losing, let alone losing money in gambling games, even rich people will be annoyed if they experience defeat, it's nonsense if someone says it, there's no need to be hypocritical even if you say you gamble for fun but if you lose of course you won't be happy

It all depends on what you set your mind on, if you're gambling for fun, then you wouldn't mind loosing and everything will just turn a fun to you that you could actually loose a particular bet you played, but if you're gambling for money, you will be highly disappointed in seing that you loose while gambling, because the reason or purpose for playing that particular bet is for you to win and maybe earn from it, just that many of us seems to be forgetting that gambling is not that reliable for winning, we can have it even when we least expect to see it coming.

How can their be fun in losing while gambling? I can say the only people whom it will look like fun to while losing are the people who are financially stable and bouyant,they are the people that can be laughing and smiling while they are losing,but anyone that suffers before he gets money, must feel the pains in gambling while loosing.It is not always good to be a gambler because gambling exposes you to different things in life, occurrence that aren't always good to hear.
It's only when winning comes that we can say we are having fun because there is so much joy when we win Money.Or is there any other form of fun in loosing while gambling,I'm still yet to know.

I don't have an unequivocal answer to this question. On the one hand, gambling can really be fun: The thrill: the excitement, the excitement, the chance to win all provide vivid emotions. Social interaction: games are an excuse to get together with friends, socialize, and laugh. On the other hand, losing can mar the fun. But I think everything here is purely individual: Attitude towards gambling: For some people losing is an annoying little thing, and for others - a tragedy. Financial situation: If a person can afford to lose, he will treat the game more calmly. Personality traits: People with a gambling character can lose control of themselves, which leads to problems.

When I gamble, I feel quite happy, and often I even laugh. However, when the result is a defeat and I lose, let alone being able to feel happy, even smiling, it feels very difficult. Because what remains is only disappointment and regret, especially if I bet a fairly large amount, I really can't forget that disappointment.

It's normal to lose when gambling, but if you lose too often, it really makes me feel annoyed. And if I can't control my anger towards gambling, the result of constant fatigue. maybe now I don't have anything.

There is no fun losing in gambling. Gamblers who frequently lose in gambling often display negative emotions such as anger, frustration, and sadness. Despite their differences, their ultimate goal is the same, it is to win. The thrill and excitement they seek occur when they achieve winning in gambling.

Even the rich ones who doesn't care about the win/loss while gambling have little difficulty at some corner. This is common, because everyone wanting for win is common thing. I won't be feeling much bad while losing, as the amount wagered used to be very minimal. At times I play with the money necessary for other needs to add few more dollars, so that with the winning we can manage little more financial needs. Losing in those situations make me bad as I won't be able to meet the need for which I've allocated the money as well as the additional one planned with the winning money.

Some people definitely think that gamblers who play gambling activities and think of it as having fun will definitely think that even if they lose they will still laugh out loud and it doesn't matter how much money they lose when gambling, even though it's not like that, not everyone who hopes to lose, everyone who gambles definitely wants to. win, but it depends on the person who responds to the defeat they face, there are people who are disappointed but forget about it and there are also people who are disappointed and can't forget it, so it can be said that gambling is not for fun.

I understand that everyone who gambles definitely doesn't want to feel deep disappointment, that's why they use smaller money and they can afford to lose, so even if they lose, they don't think too much about it with a heavy heart because if we keep thinking about this, it will make us stressed and think to recover losses therefore I consider it as a paid game for fun.

I understand that rich people or people who have above average financial strength will not care too much about the results of their bets especially when they lose, but this will be the beginning of disaster for a worse situation if losing continues to dominate and obviously the consequences will be that they will lose a very large amount even though they are basically one of the rich people, and that means of course we cannot distinguish between rich, middle or poor people in gambling, everyone can end up with the same downfall if they basically cannot control their gambling activities.

Betting by using money for other purposes or for other needs in life is an approach that is really not recommended, you must see that this is gambling which has absolutely no certainty of being able to produce a win at the end of the session, the worry is that when you are desperate to win to increase or multiply the money you have to meet more needs it ends up losing and in situations like this it is not uncommon for someone to be disappointed and emotional so that they take actions out of control to vent their emotions and end up losing all the money they have for their needs. Therefore it is always advisable to put the amount that we are able to account for and also that is not money for other needs.

Placing a bet without thinking about winning or losing still requires analyzing the match to determine the choice. Even though we don't think about the results, we still have to analyze because this will help us improve our analytical skills. And with improved analytical skills, the chances of winning will be greater even though we still depend on luck. And when we can win, we will be happy, and if we lose, we will not think about the loss because we placed a bet with the money we can afford.

Many gamblers want to win, so they will use many ways to win, including waiting for predictions from other people instead of analyzing them themselves. They think waiting for predictions from other people can shorten the time so they don't have to analyze like others. However, they will be unable to improve their analytical skills and will continue waiting for other people's predictions. Even though other people's predictions do not guarantee you can win.

Yes, gambling is just for fun, and you don't need to bet big money to have fun. We can only enjoy gambling as entertainment, so we don't need to try too hard to win. Just let other people who still want to try hard because maybe they have other calculations than us. By being able to use gambling as entertainment, we will not think about gambling beyond the limits because that will only make us experience more losses. We must really be able to control ourselves when gambling so that we don't spend all the money we have. And gambling is not a place to make money, but gambling is just a place to have fun, so we should not forget that and not be too serious about gambling. If we are too serious, we will not be able to enjoy the atmosphere of gambling and also not be able to enjoy the free time we have. For this reason, we must also be able to have self-control and other important things when playing gambling so that we will not encounter problems when playing gambling. When we can win some money, we should not chase other wins because that can cause us to lose self-control and result in losing a lot of money.

Gambling for fun as gamblers are mostly advised is just so that they wouldn't be so emotional in a case of losses because if gambling isn't played without emotions being involved then a lot of gamblers might run into mental health like their reasoning sometimes might be abstract from how others do as a result of thinking too deep because of a loss. No one is happy losing funds in gambling and call it fun so the fun there is actually referring to not being too attracted to gambling and peradventure becomes an addict.

Honestly speaking I never understood the thought behind this statement until I came across this trick gamblers use, when we talk about fun we should set our emotions aside when staking a bet and sometimes people ask different questions concerning their emotions and fear when gambling, the reason why most people develop fear when gambling is because they used excess money to bet thinking they'll get more in return, this is when one can say I gamble for the money not for fun, although no one is expected to be happy when losing their money but if the money is little and you had no hope neither confidence of winning, you'll observe such person will be stress free. Have been in the game before and with all this I can proudly say I use just little amount to bet and I get excited with the game. All you need to do is develop the habit of gambling with the little you have and stop thinking about excess win.

Yes, it's true, we shouldn't be too serious about gambling, but we must take the problems and negative impacts of gambling seriously. and many of those who suffer from gambling addiction also experience losses in it because they often underestimate and ignore every little problem they find within themselves when gambling. And if we continue to ignore the problem, sooner or later the problem will become bigger and more complicated, so that it becomes very difficult to find a solution, which could result in us getting trapped in it (gambling addiction).


without involving emotions, the bets we make will be ordinary, and perhaps we will not find the adrenaline and sensation when playing them. We need to involve emotions when gambling or placing a bet, to stimulate adrenaline and get pleasure from it. However, when you are too emotional, this will only lead to losses. Therefore, it is important for us to be able to control our emotions well, so that we can enjoy gambling and losses can be minimized properly.

Those that are only thinking on the profits or the loses they can obtain should avoid gambling as it is obvious they do not really understand what it is about, when a person travels to an exotic location and spends a lot of money to do it, almost no one really thinks that person is wasting their money, since they are exchanging their money for an experience they will remember for the rest of their lives, and while gambling is nowhere near as expensive, it still falls into the same category as something you just do to obtain some fun.

It depends on one's mindset and perspective towards it. People like us who gamble for fun and consider gambling games just like normal games that we play, barely have issues of getting addicted or overspending on gambling because we don't chase our losses or get emotional when we lose some money and we enjoy the game, more if we are winning and less if we are losing, but overall, it's all a fun experience for us.

However, people who have a different mindset and see gambling from a different perspective won't be able to do that because they don't see gambling games as normal games because they are more concerned about their money than the fun aspect of gambling which is why they easily get emotional and start chasing their losses when they start losing.

You have said well, gamblers with misconceptions can not understand gamble, when they lose they want to rebet because they haven't been able to understand gambling at all.
Gamblers who Chase's loses will always bet and get more lose again. Gambler with good understanding of gamble can not chase loses unless he's not much aware of the risk that been on gamble or when chasing loses.
One that have not experienced loving will never understand what losing is, and one who have chasesd losing will not understand what risk he's involved.

Not  all, no one is happy when they loose while gambling, but as a gambler it's part of the game and you have to accept the fact that either you win or lose. But in matters like this, if you loose above you gambling budget it can hurt you but if it's below then it just a normal cruise while having your fun in the game.

Every one perspective and experience can be different in gambling, for me the fun comes from my anticipation and the possibility of me winning regardless of the outcome and the social aspects of gambling. as long as I gamble according to my budget and limits, loosing does doesn't stop me from enjoying or having fun in gambling.

By being able to use gambling as entertainment, we will gamble in a relaxed and relaxed manner and have no desire to win because our goal is to spend the free time we have. We try to enjoy the moment of gambling, and we will not gamble for too long so that we can stop gambling when we have had enough of gambling. We will also prevent gambling addiction, which is a serious problem for many gamblers, so we will really limit our gambling time so that we can also avoid losing a lot. We already know what the consequences are when we experience a gambling addiction, so we will always be careful when gambling and always monitor the use of our money.

       -   Among those who want to win gambling, they are the number one ones who will not be happy because they are still praying to win the game or get the jackpot. Especially for those seeking employment or a source of income.

But there are some gamblers who are not affected when they lose gambling because they are only after fun and there are no other reasons or just to pass the time.

Oh, not really, friend.... It's a lie if a gambler plays without expecting a win, even though the reason they gamble is for fun. it's just that they have the ability to receive the final result of gambling. And consider that losing is a normal thing in a game and also a gamble. and clearly this can help them control their gambling well, and be able to prevent themselves from impulsive behavior, such as placing bets continuously and increasing the bet amount periodically, even though previously they had suffered consecutive losses.

---

As an example..... regarding a hope of winning. Never mind talking about gambling, when I fish in a lake, which is one of my hobbies, I always hope that I can catch bigger and more fish than other people get, so that I can go home with lots of fish. And that is the natural nature of a human being, who always wants to excel and win. However, because I see it as a hobby and my pleasure, I am always able to enjoy this activity, even though in the end I go home empty-handed and with a broken fishing rod.

A gambler wants to win from gambling, but they must realize they will have difficulty winning. If they could realize this, they would not spend a lot of money gambling and would not gamble for too long because they know that it could make them lose control of themselves, which could cause them to get into trouble. By always limiting their gambling activities, they will be able to enjoy gambling well and will not have the desire to gamble any longer if they have experienced several losses.

Compared to fishing and catching fish, it is the hope of all anglers. But how many people can catch fish, and how many people fail? There may be more people who fail to catch fish than who succeed in getting fish. It is human nature always to want to be superior and be considered superior by others. And we must be able to avoid it because it can make us arrogant and look down on other people.

Apart from that we have to consider that gambling is a form of entertainment, on the other hand we also have to have a priority scale. So that the gambling activities carried out will not affect other activities that are more important than just gambling. And gambling for too long will not provide any benefits, apart from losing some money and time.
And by limiting our gambling activities, this can help us balance our lives and finances. By limiting playing time, this can help us not to gamble excessively, let alone ignore what is our duty and obligation. And with a limit on the deposit amount, this can help us overcome quite large losses.


Another crucial point that needs consideration is gambling. For example, while most people may wish to emerge triumphant in gambling and be regarded as successful, it is important to recognize that many people fail or suffer losses. Some ways to ensure one has a healthy attitude towards gambling include being realistic about their chances, keeping expectations in check, and having self-control to not go overboard.

This particular proclamation is a reminder about remaining modest, appreciating the process, and also, we must not analyze and make personal judgments of ourselves or even others due to failing or achieving certain objectives.

I think OP has actually asked a weird question because it sounds like someone who would ask whether pain is fun. It's  like a fetish if someone were to say that they enjoy losing when they gamble... How is it even possible to enjoy something negative? So it is probably not very likely that anyone enjoys losing as it's a contradiction in and of itself. If something is enjoyable, it means it is also desirable and why would someone use money to gamble and then have fun losing? :D

I think it depends whether OP was specifically referring to losing being the fun part. Of course when friends and family play a round of cards then it can still be enjoyable when you lose on an evening, but when someone visits a casino to play cards or bet on sports, there is no point in believing that losing can be fun.

The truth is that in as much as a gambler will always want to win in gambling, we can  not shy away from the fact that there are times that he'll still gonna lose and whenever such happens, he's expected to control his emotions and see it as a normal thing as far as gambling is concerned but I don't expect a gambler to experience any form of fun in losing his money in gambling.
Some many gamblers are very good in hiding their pains after losing by trying to smile to others like they're cool with their losses but don't want to believe that there's any form of fun in losing your money in gambling I'd you ask me

It's really difficult especially with the poor or low income earners to actually gamble this way as been described by you because if you want to take a careful look into all these you will understand that it's mostly amongst the poor and low income earners who see gambling as a second source of money that end up with gambling issues.


The Richa who actually gamble exclusively for fun don't have any issues with most of the gambling topics that are been raised and they not often don't get addicted gambling because they don't have to chase losses or want to make a fortune off gambling because they know how almost impossible the chances are they will be able to make such wealth from gambling alone so they just make entertainment off it and they are good, the consequences of gambling addiction isn't such that we should wish to experience before we avoid it happening to us.

this is why if you look at gambling to be one of the sources of your living, you will find out quick that you get disappointed with your expectations because it is not. in most of your games, you will be on the losing end if you don't know when to stop and pause.
if you look at gambling to be just the source of entertainment, then you won't have problem with yourself. but we know that it is usually not the case because once we are playing our games and betting, of course, one of our main goals is to at least win something, right?


unfortunately, the reality is most gamblers are after for the winnings and not because of the fun or entertainment. some are playing just to pass time but deep inside they are after also for the possible winnings. of course, who would not want to win, right?

Yes, gambling is entertainment that we don't really prioritize because we only gamble in our free time. We already have things in our daily priorities, so it's okay if we don't gamble for a few days because we are busy doing various activities. And when gambling, we also don't need to gamble for too long to reduce the losses we incur. We must try to balance our finances between money for gambling and money for other needs. We should not get caught in gambling by using more money because that can make us lose more money.

People do want to be winners in gambling, but they must always remember that it is a very difficult thing to achieve. They don't need to gamble hard and use a lot of money because it's not worth doing. They also do not have a greater chance of winning than the chance of losing. More often, they always limit their gambling activities to avoid losing a lot, and maybe that can trigger a win.

Yes, we must be able to use gambling properly so that no problems arise later. We also shouldn't gamble too often because it will increase our losses and cost us a lot of money.

Indeed, there is no loss we can enjoy because it is a disappointment we get from gambling. We should already know the risks of gambling so we can prevent more losses by implementing these restrictions. We don't like losing, so we have to limit it so we don't lose a lot of money. By limiting losses, we can accept the results even if we lose and return to gambling a few days later.

If someone can gamble moderately, he will not want to accept many losses. He will try not to lose a lot of money and stop gambling if he has lost several times. According to him, he had tried gambling several times, but he lost, so he had to stop immediately before he experienced more losses.

That is why we must be able to accept whatever results we receive from gambling. Winning and losing when playing gambling is normal, and we don't need to regret it because we already know the risks, and as much as possible, we have to prevent many losses. We don't expect defeat to come, but we can't do anything when we lose, and can only prevent ourselves from experiencing more defeats. That will mean more to us than us regretting having experienced so many defeats. Yes, they try to smile when they lose and will say that they haven't had any luck today and immediately leave the casino. And it is true that there is no pleasure in losing your money, but don't lose too much so that you don't regret it too much and can still accept the loss.

Yes, it is difficult for them, but they must be able to try for their own good. If they can't do it, they will only lose more money and regret it. They should not view gambling as a second source of money because they will find it difficult to win some money or even lose it. If they can understand it, they will not gamble too often and will look for additional work to provide additional income.

Rich people don't mind gambling because they have a lot of money that can be used for gambling. But rich people should also always limit the use of their money because if not, they could even immediately experience huge losses because they can gamble with big money too. They might still be able to take it because they still have more money. But they will experience disappointment because they have lost a lot of money.

The way gamblers feel when they lose their money always make up a top discussion in the gambling niche. Because a lot of gamblers, including myself, at some points don't always laugh over losing money. However, between being sad and happy, one should take happiness and not get himself bothered over what he can't reverse. That's the self-control working in the life of the gambler. The market is large and different people act uniquely, not all would be sad. So, the goal is to stay stable, panicking only worsens the reaction of the gambler to get estranged with his method and try things he's not used to doing, then lose out most of his money. However, if he had the control, to stay calm and happy, he wouldn't rush over taking other means of making quick money in gambling.

Regarding the statement you made, it really underlines the importance of a wise and responsible attitude in gambling. And indeed we have to really understand that winning in gambling is not an easy thing for us to achieve. Likewise regarding the risks in gambling, when we are able to understand them well, this is an important first step to avoid problems related to gambling.

Having limits on gambling activities and controlling the amount of budget spent on gambling is a wise strategy for managing financial and emotional risks. And of course this can help us minimize losses in gambling and help us avoid fairly large losses. where the loss arises from uncontrolled gambling.

By understanding that gambling should not be the main activity in life, of course this can help us maintain life balance, financial and emotional stability. And playing gambling is just for entertainment and by not doing it too often. This is the main key to making good and proper use of gambling without causing problems.

Gambling like that is difficult to do, but it can be the best success for gamblers who still can't control themselves. But no matter what, while it is still in process it seems, control hime self will be difficult not to gamble continuously. emotions that want to get a big win or any winning rather than entertainment become the reason. There needs to be something that can give him a lesson that he can learn so he doesn't make that mistake.

The gambling was the difficult game for the gambler without experience and knowledge about the game.The gambler who can able to control in playing the game in the gambling site alone can make money in the gambling site.Not all the people can swim in the sea,swimming in the pond is not like the way of swimming in the sea or ocean.The gamblers should be more confident in their game and betting on every game.

The greedy to make huge money in the gambling sites will leads to the gamblers not to get satisfied with the small profits in the gambling site.The more winning in the gambling site was possible with predicting of each betting with more accurate and the outcome will be more good.

I would say that there is a slight difference between not getting affected after losing and not having fun while losing, one might not get affected because of the losses they are incurring, but at the same time, they might not also enjoy the experience. Take me as an example, I don't get affected when I lose because I don't gamble to earn money but it's just a fun activity for me and I only use the money that I can afford to lose.

However, I don't enjoy losing, I mean, who does? It's more fun when you are winning, and it has nothing to do with what you want from gambling, I don't think that any person would like losing when they are playing a game, you play to win and not to lose. So, it's just a general instinct that we always want to win regardless of the situation.

Being wise and responsible are things that every gambler must have in addition to having other things that are also needed so that they can understand that they will not be able to win easily. They must be able to prevent large losses by recognizing the risks they have already taken and must be able to try not to increase the risks even further. Understanding that gambling is an activity for fun in their spare time will not make them try to chase their winnings or recover their losses.

By always limiting their gambling activities and also being able to control themselves in gambling, gamblers can gamble responsibly. They will not want to spend a lot of money just to gamble. They will think that to enjoy gambling games, they don't need to use a lot of money because that could make them lose a lot of money. With these restrictions, they only use their free time to have fun before they return to their routine activities.

They already know that gambling is an activity done in their spare time, so they will not gamble too often, let alone spend a lot of money. They want to maintain financial balance so that it does not interfere with their other daily needs. Maybe there are still many things they have to do so they don't gamble excessively and can use gambling properly.

They can gamble like that as long as they are willing to try, and it depends on the intentions of each gambler because there are gamblers who don't want to lose a lot of money in gambling, so they will always control themselves. However, there are still many gamblers who end up losing self-control while gambling, causing them to lose a lot of money, which they realize after they have finished gambling. These are gamblers who become emotional after experiencing a loss in gambling so that they cannot accept their defeat and instead deposit some money back to try to recover their money. But that doesn't guarantee they can win. They will only experience more losses.

of course they can do that. but it would be a shame if he failed to maintain and control himself so as not to gamble excessively. I understand that to achieve this, gamblers need to have good management to ensure that they do not make the same mistakes again. But if he is still caught in the same mistake, it means, his emotions are too high to realize that he has been in the wrong gambling method.

Gambling is an activity that can stimulate the human brain and mind to do things that are actually beyond their abilities, it can happen due to the temptation that exists in gambling which we must admit that it looks very tempting so that often most gamblers find it difficult to ignore it and most of them are trapped and lost on the wrong path and that means it is very possible for them to end up ignoring some of the plans regarding limits as well as the controls they have made at the beginning. In my opinion one of the solutions that can be done is to apply firmness to the plans you have made, I often say this especially to some of my friends who are also fellow gamblers, because it is useless no matter how good the plan you have made, it will still be useless in the end if there is no firmness in the matter of implementation.

Making mistakes in betting and fortunately making huge amount of profit is more of luck than normal. There 1 in 10,000 people that this kind of thing can happen to. There are some unexpected luck that could fall on us making us to make huge amount at the same time. The opposite too can happen to us and we are not going to make any profit than loses. It is wise for us to always check the games we are playing so that we don't making any unnecessary mistakes that could cause us a big drama. Having consistent profits is what many of us want to keep seeing and we don't have to relax on games that could give us amazing profits.

Regardless of how much we lose in total while gambling,  it is still very important for us to know that losing is something that is highly demotivating and in the long run will ruin your fun which is what we first look out for in gambling,  so losing is not pleasant and not a welcome experience but since gambling is all about losing and winning,  we have to prepare for it and welcome and vear it when it happens.

Losing is never been fun but since we are dealing with gambling then this is something which is inevitable and the first thing that you should really be having in mind is that you should really be that making yourself wary about those probabilities or chances that you would be losing money and this is why self acceptance is the key or something that you should anticipate so that it would really be lessening out the overall stress and anxiety whenever you do have that losing bets on which i would say that this is the most important on where you could really be able to make yourself
that easily accept your fate about getting those loses. NEver ever make yourself that too positive or anticipating for win because just like been said that once you do get those loses then you would really be that disappointed.

The best state of mind for any gambler is to attain a stage where he or she will have a limit to everything both is losing and in winning,  in this way, he can easily manage whatever the outcome of the game session and how he or reacts to them,  this is most important at most and to a certain level, we have to abide with such mindset at all time to stay above every possible off balance of too much exciting outcome.

When it comes to gambling,  if you take the outcome to be your decision ext line,  you tend to make a lot of mistakes and some level of regression that may affect your overall outcome.

The losing was not the different one,because the gamblers faces both winning and losing in the gambling site.The important one is the gambler who choose the gambling as their entertainment will never worry for the loss.If the gamblers try to earn money from the gambling site will surely worry for the loss in the gambling site.If the gamblers get less money as loss,he can able to manage the loss.In the return of the loss,the gambler will able to get knowledge about the gambling in return.The experience gamblers know about the fact gambling is mean for both profit and loss.

There's only two possible outcomes which is winning and losing and on the time that you do gamble then it would really be just that ideal or something that would really be that
you would be able to experience and with this then it would really be just that right that you do anticipate on these things so that you wont really be that being impulsive when it comes into your
reactions because there are people who do really get angry on the time that they do lose on which they've been expecting that they could be a winner anytime that they do gamble.
Just like been mentioned above that losing is never been fun and if you do hate up this feeling then dont gamble.

Fun is not in losing, fun is in the process and in winning. Have you played football? When you play football, you run, get exhausted but you still have fun, you have even more fun when you win the match but sometimes you lose too. Even if you are not a good player and you lose football matches frequently, that still doesn't make football annoying, it's still enjoyable. Gambling is like that, you can still get fun even if you lose but everything depends on you, you shouldn't lose more than what you can afford to lose. If your pocket doesn't give you the ability to gamble, then you can play with play money.

It's a bit strange to say: I'm happy even if I lose a lot, unless the gambler is really looking for entertainment in gambling instead of money.

The average gambler never feels happy when he loses. They know losing and winning are part of the game, but most gamblers only feel happy when they win a bet. Maybe they feel fine when they lose, but chances are that the gambler is not the typical gambler who gambles for money. They are responsible gamblers and do not mind winning or losing.

I'm not sure someone who comes to a gambling platform with his hard-earned money of $1000 feels happy about losing after betting, maybe it would be worse and feel more angry if the money came from a loan or something like that.

You’re right man and it has always been a major campaign in gambling to only gamble what we can afford to lose as nothing is guaranteed in gambling but I’m not doubting the fun in gambling but what I’m trying to say is that, the major fun in gambling comes when there is a win and for a common man, there is no fun in losing even when we gamble with the money we can afford to lose because for every game staked on, there is always hope and expectations and remember that expectations leads to disappointment and imagine your expectations not coming to reality for no actual reason 🥺
Generally football is fun since it doesn’t involve staking money while playing and have you also played and lost to your opponent? There are times when you feel really disappointed when we don’t win a certain match and then imagine losing money you truly hoped on winning?

Losing will never get pleasant for any gambler, but a player has the ability to change his thoughts on how to feel when a losing result appears. The problem with most gamblers is that they forget to focus on their strategies. They only think of the wins and how it could benefit their life. Those thoughts now get them worried, once they don't get a win. It all has to do with mindset. Those who don't feel it much when their game isn't positive, still have their mindset intact and don't have anything to bother. Isn't it better to stay less bothered over a loss than being worried. It's a thing of choice, the player has the authority to decide how he should feel on seeing his results. Acting in anger also affects the behavior of the gambler. As he'd be playing without any control. The gambler already has this in mind that losing is part of gambler, so, he shouldn't feel bothered as though it came unawares.

Limit is everything and this is something that you should really be having in mind on which it isnt really just that good or limited on gambling activity alone but also in other things in life
on which it is really just that right that you would really be having those limits whenever you do sees that you are really that on great disadvantage on which we know that this isnt something
that we should really be that making ourselves that too desperate on making a winning. We do know that this isnt something that we can really be able to alter or make with.

There's no fun in losing and this is why you should already anticipate that losing is there and this is why acceptance will really be that something relevant on times like this.
Dont make yourself that impulsive so that you wont really be able to create potential problems.

Losing when gambling is something that most gamblers avoid even though basically gambling is just for fun. Of course, when all gamblers lose, they will definitely not be happy and indeed if they lose often it will actually damage their motivation. If this happens, we should rearrange our strategy. However, what I want to convey is that there is no joy when you lose in gambling, there is definitely a feeling of disappointment, it's just that we are willing to accept defeat because we know that in gambling games there are bound to be winners and there are losers.

If he fails to control himself in gambling, he will lose his money without being able to recover his losses and get the money he has lost at the gambling table. He must be well aware of this so that he can reduce his gambling activities and he can prevent his losses. It's okay if he experiences those losses, but he can still get pleasure from gambling, and that's because he doesn't think about getting a win from gambling. He only thought about how he could get pleasure from gambling in his spare time without experiencing big problems. That is why he needs to have good self-control to prevent problems that can arise during and after he gambles.

Yes, defeat is the final result that most gamblers always do not want, only a small percentage of them are able to accept the fact of defeat at the end of the session and some others act impulsively or chase victory with the aim of returning something that has been lost, especially addicts. On the other hand everyone does not like losing including those who basically gamble with the intention and purpose of entertainment or fun, but the difference here is that there are some gamblers who do not get too emotional when they lose (have responsibility) and most others as I said above that losing becomes a situation that will make them do everything out of control. Actually we can conclude about whether they are responsible gamblers or not is when they lose, if at that time they are still fine and not too disappointed or no emotion at all then we can already confirm that they are one of the responsible gamblers in the sense of knowing that gambling is a "possibility" activity, meaning you may win or you may lose.

I have always tried as much as possible never to allow my emotions to take the better part of me at any point in time,  since I know the devastating effect of allowing emotions into my gambling decision and state of mind,  although just as you rightly said,  gambling by chasing a particular direction is a bad approach to recovery in the case of losing while gambling, so for that our ability to be I total control and being able to move on easily is what define us as a responsible gamblers.

And if you want to build such stabilise mindset towards gambling,  you should start by first taking gambling as just for fun and not a profits making mechanism, because that is what many gamblers are taking gambling lately and this wrong ideology have led to many devastating outcome for them on the long run.

Yes of course what you are doing is indeed something that is always recommended if you are involved in gambling, as we know that in any case usually emotions will always make the situation worse and one of the reasons is because it is not easy or even very difficult to be able to think rationally to make decisions when you are in an emotional situation and most of the time the final result will be even worse.I think controlling emotions will not be too difficult to do if you basically have a correct understanding of the risks in gambling, because awareness will help and encourage you to continue to prioritize preventive measures rather than chasing an uncertain recovery.
I think controlling your emotions wouldn't be so hard to do if you basically have the right understanding of the risks involved in gambling, because awareness will help and encourage you to continue to prioritize preventive measures rather than chasing an uncertain recovery.

The mindset and understanding of gambling for pleasure is actually only to limit yourself, or the intention is to prevent you from the idea and thought of gambling to "earn", so we are advised to better make gambling a pleasure from some of the sensations we get. Because on the other hand, there is a lot of evidence that can be used as a reason that when you make gambling a place to earn, what usually happens is the opposite, where your money is drained slowly and over time you will even get stuck in a worse situation.

What you say makes a lot of sense, emotions when things are allowed to surface can be very decisive because they can do crazy things, even lead us to lose, that is why it is better to control our money from the beginning and not be self-confident with the emoines, because it is something that wow until now I don't know any player/person who can control their emotions well, in fact if there is someone who controls their emotions well I would like to know, but not just to apply it but to bring it into the life of There are many people, I don't know, but I know many people who are very emotional and that makes their blood pressure skyrocket. I have a woman who is over 70 years old and who is my friend and she was very seriously ill with that problem and that was because she died. her sister, and then because of those emotions it caused her to have that high level of tension, so if anyone knows tips or something it would be good to share them, I think that sometimes it is very important to know these things to see if lives can be saved.

I know that this is difficult, but I think that although it is very difficult, controlling emotions is difficult, because they are inveitbal things that Sometimes we do not Know , so there are keys to controlling them, I think that there must be Techniques or something to make our system inside not It seems that way, for me what emotions do is that they produce these types of internal reactions because the body does not know how to release that pressure that it has inside and looks for channels, and analogous to this because it is when we play, that our channel to vent and bet hard until you see a good result, the problem is that hard bets require a lot of loss of money and that is what must be avoided, so at least 1 or 2 people in the world know that they must Control their emotions well. They do not allow emotions to turn them into Impulses.

Even when someone has not gambled up to their gambling budget, there is a level at which you can be losing in a game, which can change your mode entirely, and that could lead to a situation where your gambling decision will be affected by your emotions. 
 
I don't think losing in gambling is totally fun to anyone, as no one ever wants to lose anything, no matter how little the amount might appear to be. But then again, those losses that one encounters during gambling are what will increase the level of happiness and fun you derive when ever you win a new game. This is how I sense losing in gambling, as it is not a total waste after all.

I agree, whatever losses you experience in gambling will not bring any pleasure even if you have determined a low budget for gambling but your hopes of winning are not achieved, disappointment will accompany the feeling of losing funds in gambling, but never involve emotions in losses because you will bet again without control for the purpose of recovering losses, wise gamblers will not be careless in dealing with these sites because even though they have lost funds, they will return to gambling another day with a low budget, there is the potential that they can recover previous losses if they gamble while enjoying playing betting.

I would suggest low budget gamblers to spend that budget in fulfilling some other means no matter how small that budget can be it can be still used in the supermarket to buy some sort of food which can last for a couple of days as a minimum and that would be more beneficial to these low budget gamblers.

The others who are not that careless will still encounter problems while sometimes they will get mad and will follow emotions as simply put this is human nature you simply cannot go against your own nature unless you put some big roadblocks.I have been one of such persons and I am very happy now that I have not gambled for full 2 days,I know it is not much time but for people who used to gamble every day,huge chunks of the day this is the right step to get out of this loop.

That is a crucial aspect of responsible gambling which is the importance of managing emotions and maintaining control, especially in the face of losses. Experiencing losses in gambling can be disappointing and may lead to emotional reactions such as frustration or a desire to recoup those losses through further betting. Wise gamblers understand the need to detach emotions from their gambling decisions and maintain discipline in their approach. Instead of chasing losses or succumbing to impulsive behavior, they recognize that gambling should be approached as a form of entertainment rather than a means of financial gain.

Setting and adhering to a low budget for gambling is a sensible strategy that can help mitigate the potential for significant losses and prevent emotions from clouding judgment. By approaching gambling with a mindset focused on enjoyment rather than solely on winning, individuals can reduce the likelihood of falling into patterns of compulsive or harmful behavior. Taking breaks from gambling and returning with a clear mind and refreshed perspective can contribute to a more positive and controlled gambling experience. The key to responsible gambling lies in mindfulness, self-awareness, and moderation.

If you dont have that kind of control then you would definitely lose not on the essence that you would be basically or naturally losing up the bet but on the time that you would be losing your
your cool or losing your fun essence then this is where i could consider that you have lost totally. We've been able to see it at first but due to those impulsive emotions then we would really be
that losing our cool and would really be losing that entertainment that we are targeting into. We do know that when it comes to gambling  then loses is inevitable and it is really just that normal
that you would really be that having those reactions on which it isnt really that a pleasant experience when it comes to this one. We dont know on what the future holds
and this is why its important that you should be having those realistic approach at least.

In your response, I'd say that the losses help the gambler to feel so excited when the wins begin to arrive. Normally, no venture in life that starts with only winning, people face losses and along the line, begin to win. But in the case of gambling, which is not a business, after the transient joy, more losses follow, and it's not only once but multiple times. I'd add that the feeling is a choice, although it's hard to accept, yet the money is gone, and no amount of mood swing would return it. Hence, the gambler only has the one decision of staying calm and enjoy the game, until he gets a win. No one in the history of gambling has ever felt sad for winning. Humans are like that, the losses automatically affect the gambler to feel the pains. That's why a gambler is expected not to gambler higher than he can afford to lose. Because the pain of losing money depends on the amount of money the gambler lost in his game.

I do not think that things are that straightforward, there are many gamblers that despite keeping a close track on the amount of money they are betting, they do not care too much about the losses they are suffering and instead they are just happy with the experience that gambling brings them, so they can enjoy themselves even when they are losing some money, which should not be that odd, as you need to spend some money if you want to entertain yourself these days.

Getting loses in playing gambling doesn't give pleasure to us. It's why we need to playing gambling too foten to avoid a big losses like other gamblers. There's nothing wrong if you limit your gambling activities just to stay away from the losses and that is a normal thing that we must do to prevent it. We as an ordinary gamblers doesn't have much money to gamble so we must alwayas limit our gambling activities. Otherwise, we will only having more and more losses that we can't accept. It's better to prevent the big loss instead we regret it especially if we can't recover that loss.

Loss will comes to us when we gambled so that must make us more wisely after we play gambling and have that loss. But that will not for other gamblers who still want to get the win from gambling. They will only chase the win even though they know that is a difficult things to get. They don't think about what will happen to them later when they fail to get that winning. What will happen is they just regret because of using much money for playing gambling.

See, the mindset of gambling matters so much in this context, that's why some will never believe that gamblers could lose and still be happy despite the losses. This is what I call fun part of it, and when you do not prioritise money-making in gambling, this is so possible, and you will just be playing and focusing on the gaming part rather than the outcome as a big deal. When the outcome comes in, it could be positive or negative, it doesn't matter, but what matters at that time is the feelings at which you are playing and getting the results for the money you are playing with, which is fun. But this is not as often easy as people may think, this is why a small amount of money is often used for this purpose to avoid issues.

Of course, if you are not a waster of money, you can't actually be losing huge amounts of money and be happy, it can't just be so convenient for people depending on the money they have and the magnitude at which they lose it. So, this point shows that it is not always easy, while the ugly thought of losing by some people makes it difficult for them to believe that it is possible. I've seen a lot of people on this forum who have argued this out, but in practice, it is possible. I am also a witness to with, especially when I am bored and do not want to engage myself in other hobbies In this situation, I do gamble but limit the wagering amount to the barest minimum possible. I also gamble for fun playing with my wife, it's just about the mood and the mindset involved.

Feeling happy while gambling can be fun, like winning a dance contest after downing a smoothie. But remember, winning shouldn't be the only source of enjoyment. Think of it like playing board games with friends – even if you lose, the company and fun make it worthwhile.

Losing sucks, even if you prepped your finances like a squirrel preparing for winter. But accepting it's part of the game, like getting a boo-boo while learning to skateboard, is key. Don't let it ruin your day – brush it off and remember, sometimes you win, sometimes you learn.

Now, some folks gamble for fun, others chase that sweet profit dragon. Both are cool, but remember, gambling ain't a guaranteed get-rich-quick scheme. Think of it like buying lottery tickets – it's fun, but don't quit your day job based on winning once.

It seems that your statement is directed at gamblers who have good responsibility in their gambling so that losing is not a very disappointing result, on the other hand I understand that losing or losing is a result that is not very liked by most people, But if you are involved in gambling then obviously you must first agree with yourself that you must be one of those gamblers who is able to accept the fact of losing at the end of the session because gambling is always about two things namely between winning or losing and responsible gamblers have a different formula from some other gamblers in that they have an approach to gambling that is based on a proper understanding of what gambling activities are.

They understand that gambling is a risky activity but they always focus on risk management such as imposing a lot of limits both in terms of time to gamble and also in terms of putting a budget amount, and when you have the right understanding of gambling then you will only dare to gamble by putting a small amount or an amount that you can afford to lose because responsible gamblers understand that it is too risky to make gambling as an income so what they are looking for there is nothing more than fun or entertainment when they have free time.

There's no fun in losing money neither via gambling or neither those losing investment and businesses on which it would really be just that common that people would really be having those kind of reactions
on the time that they would be losing. Even we do say that you are really just that playing for fun but on the time that you are losing money then that fun would be replaced by disappointment and anger and this is something that we should be able to control because once we cant be able to do such thing then this is where issues and problems would really be starting up to surface. Be sensible and be wary towards your actions then
you should really be just that fine because if not then results or usually the outcome on dealing with gambling will really be happening into you.

The difference into those people who are really that making use of their money for gambling purposes and could afford to lose wont really be having those kind of reactions
on excessive manner since they are already anticipating it.

Where's the fun in losing money? Probably I entangled my slots to ensure I'm balance in the system. Choosing money against all odds because that's the main reason I'm in the space in the first place, doing everything to gets the printing profits. I don't misused any opportunities I get because the slightest chance can skip one by and this use to be very painful. We're here complaining about the hard
Every loss tends to be transformed to as experienced by the vast numbers of gamblers. Everyone just keep driving harder for results which at the end of the day might not even complete.

Nowhere.

That's a good reason when you want to find out something new and that reasoning of yours don't click with it. If you want to get on it and say that you loss and it's fine because you've gained experience, no one can stop you in telling that. But as for the results, it's true that it might not be completed when you try to get on it and keep on losing.

Good, but playing games with money isn't the same as playing games without money, board games can be played without money when you play with only your friends, there won't be betting but going to a casino will make you bet and there is nothing that you call bet that doesn't work without money which means when you are losing there will be no fun until you start winning. Fun is free just the way you don't pay anyone for you to smile, but when you gamble to have fun you are also risking your self and your funds because you might lose your money and still be addicted.

In fact if it's a matter of conscience then anyone who participates in gambling with the smallest budget even if he participates for fun as a pastime still feels a little bad if he loses the bet. No matter how many people say that I gamble just for fun, I gamble for fun. Even if I lose here, I have no regrets, but I don't believe that. I myself participate in gambling just for fun but sometimes I lose in gambling but I regret a lot I am speaking from my situation this is my personal example.

That's because the real fun that we gamblers are looking for is when we experience winning. The primary goal of gambling is to win because who would want to have fun losing money after taking the risk, right? However, many gamblers who frequently experience losses state that they gamble for the thrill of it, even if they end up losing. They do it to enjoy themselves and feel better, despite the financial losses.

And frankly, do you feel and think those guys who claim they’re gambling for the drill are actually doing so for the drill and just for the fun ? Just as @2pizza41000BTC already said, that he also plays for the fun but also feels the losses  when  they come and that’s true as I agree with him that no matter how much fun people claim they’re having from gambling especially when the losses are too much, there is always some wish to they won and personally I think the primary goal of every gambler irrespective of every other claims is simply to make a win and stay profitable.

And no one wants to see losses in any case but people who gamble still want to do so because they think they have a chance of winning some money. They don't think about what would happen if they lost money while gambling and continued gambling which could cause them to experience even more losses. When they lose a certain amount of money, they think it is a normal thing that they will face when gambling, but this does not dampen their enthusiasm for gambling because they still think that their chances of winning are wide open. Disappointment and anger will become one and make them continue gambling without thinking about stopping for a moment. Pleasure will be replaced by disappointment when they experience defeat and this will continue to make them unwilling to stop gambling until they finally experience a very big loss.  They are unable to anticipate the disappointment and forget that it is something they have to accept if they gamble excessively.

If they could handle their gambling well, they would not experience such incidents because they could already estimate how much money they could afford to lose. This will make them careful in spending their money on gambling especially since they know that gambling is only for entertainment and will not provide income for them.

This question you've just asked only reminds me of the last female World Cup when the Nigerian Supper Falcons played against England. What most Nigerians around me did was to stake that England is going to win Nigeria in that match
 And can you guess their thought process for making such prediction? They did that so if at the end of the day Nigeria wins, the excitement alone won't make them look at the money they had used in the gamble and if England wins, they know they've won in the gamble and will go back home with their money as a consolation for the loss in the world cup so you see that It was more of fun rather than literally looking for money. Some people just want to place their money on a particular team because of the faith they have in that team and regardless of the outcome, they don't take It seriously. 

There is no fun in gambling and losing. Gamblers bet to win losing is normal in gambling as all gamblers know that there is a win to lose here, getting angry after losing will take a worse form. Then the person will chase after victory and lose control. In fact there is no winning strategy in gambling, as it all depends to some extent on chance and chance. Every game involves an element of risk and even the most deliberate strategies cannot completely eliminate the possibility of losing. The key is to play responsibly and realize that gambling is entertainment and not a way to make money.

I’m sure you already know that at the end of day what they did was prediction and analysis as at the long run, they wanted to hit two birds with just one stone which wouldn’t be possible but whatever the case might be, I’m already on the opinion that more people are majorly into gambling to make profits and that can’t be over emphasized and no matter how much fun we claim we’re having, if we sincerely analyze the whole system m, you’ll notice that winning a bet comes with its own excitement which can’t be overlooked.
With this few points I think we shouldn’t argue much but try looking things from this perspective that people are more into gambling for the money than fun as other ma claim.

Gambling should really be fun and you should really be that giving out that kind of importance but of course losing is really not something that fun which its normal for us human beings to be sad
and becoming that impulsive on the time that we are experiencing it. For those people who dont have that kind of control towards themselves then they do usually be ending up on having those impulsive approach which it causes for them to have those further problems on which we know that this is something that needs to be avoided in the first place. If you are someone whose
really that emotional and short tempered then 100% i would say that gambling isnt for you and better avoid it out while its still early.

I think we agree that everyone does not like to lose, but it is an obligation if you want to engage in gambling then inevitably you must be prepared with the possibility of losing, because after all gambling is always inseparable from the name risk because it is part of gambling. This means that there are two choices in this case, if you want to keep gambling then obviously you have to be able to accept the fact of losing at the end of the session and if basically you don't want to experience any loss at all then obviously the decision is "not gambling at all", you can choose one of the two.

But on the other hand it's not easy to quit gambling completely, and I think it's fine if you still want to keep gambling because after all everyone has freedom of choice, and maybe another suggestion is that you better gamble with some things that are recommended, such as putting a lot of restrictions on your gambling activities such as in terms of putting a budget amount, try to only put a small amount of about 1% - 5% as well as setting limits in terms of time, not too often and this can make you less likely to lose significant amounts and you will not be too sick or disappointed.

I have condemned this action of discussion before because the objective of everyone who is into gambling is to make money is not to gamble to catch fun but to ensure that you make money through,so those people who do say that gambling is all about fun I think that those people they are lying to their people, like me, I don't gamble because I want to gamble I gamble because I really wants win money, so if I tell anyone that the reason I'm doing such is to catch fun I'm telling them false information, because every gamblers have target and is ready to make money through gambling.

Why would you even be happy when you are losing the logic is just kind of crazy if you ask me and that's why I feel gambling should strictly be done with money that when you loose, you won't be affected. It's understandable to see gambling as something that could earn you profit beside that's the whole essence of it becoming a business  because people lose and sometimes gain in business and the casino owners they know this and also majority of person take it as that too but the still it's always never fun to lose even of you are playing gambling for fun.

I will answer this way, at a point there is no fun in gambling if you are lossing more than you are gaining but could be a fun if you are gaining more than lossing. Now talking about lossing more than gaining there is no way is going to be seen as fun because your emotion has been drawn below positive expectation of maximizing output which could possibly lead to depression and this happens mostly when the money used is not an extra discretional income at your disposal at that point gambling tend not a be a fun, but on the opposite occasion where you gaining more than lossing wow gambling becomes a fun because the accumulated joy gotten from the number of times won has become more than the number of times loss giving a lead in the game it is has become a fun at that point. So whether gambling is a fun or  not should be seen in different perspective. There is no fun in gambling if you are lossing that is my conclusion you can only pretend to be happy when you are not.

Losing is definitely not fun that's for sure. I don't think anyone is having fun when losing especially when it comes consecutively one after the other.
I think what is fun in gambling is when you lose then win then lose then win again, all of those mixed emotions and adrenaline and dopamine rushes makes it fun, if there is no win in between then it is not FUN.
All gamblers should expect losing whenever they are betting, losing is an inevitable option in gambling. There is many different reactions to losing; one could lose and decide to give up because he is too aware and afraid to lose more money because he simply can't afford another loss, another could raise his bet as an act of revenge or whatsoever to win double the amount he lost, one could get depressed the other could lose control and start doing some crazy things in a moment of rage... I don't think losing in gambling is fun for the types of people I mentioned here.
I still would love to see someone losing and still enjoying his loss

I get your point mate but the truth is that, there are still people who gamble basically for fun and I don’t want to dispute the fact anymore but just as I’ve said in previous time that, even if there are people who gamble for fun, that doesn’t mean they aren’t interested in the profits as winning a bet has its won special joy and feeling and that’s why it is always very difficult to say and argue that some persons gamble solely for fun.

And from my little research, I’ve been able to realize that most of these people claiming to gamble for fun aren’t really frequent with winnings and one major excuse to scale through with, is to claim they’re gambling for fun which I’m sure deep down they already know the reason why they’re gambling.

It depends what approach you are taking to gambling and whether you are participating in a skilled game, or at least one that does not have a pre-defined advantage to the house. Take poker for example, you might consider that losing money at the beginning is the price of admission and education to the game, over time your goal is to refine skills then close your leaks. Once you reach a tipping point of experience in a skilled game you can eventually weigh it in your favor. Other people honestly just don't mind losing, whether that is because they want to while away some free time and/or they have a big enough stack of money that they can do so. However a large portion will simply be putting on a brave face and be in a state of denial that about their winning track record.

I'm not sure how anyone can have fun while losing, except if they get a cashback in FUN from Dplay Casino lol. On a serious note, gamblers hate to lose, and no matter the amount you bet on, you'll always be hoping to win. If this wasn't the case, I don't think anyone would even gamble in the first place

I find it interesting what the Nigerians did, in part they knew that the team was going to lose, but as a consolation they would have money in their hands, I think it is not bad at all, although it is very hard-hearted to do something like that, I know they can't support their own team, the truth is I'm not capable of doing something like that, even if I know that my national team team is going to lose because what I do is be able to support it even without betting, because one always keeps hope, Expensive, that was women's soccer and the truth is that it varies a lot, I prefer to watch men's soccer than women's soccer because women's soccer will always be a little more boring for me, and it's not because it's bad and it's just what I feel , but even so, I think that I would not bet against my country's team either, it would be something very contradictory, perhaps my conscience would not leave me at peace for having done something like that.

I know that feelings in a game should not exist because that deviates from any conscious analysis that is done about a sport and that is what we should avoid, because in part what we are going to risk is our money and that is something that we should Be careful, I think that no one likes to lose money and in a bet like this it is not enough because we will know if we lose it or not.

In a casino things can be very different because things are more focused on chance, slot games, roulette and that is merely pure luck, and that is what we should focus on, therefore when we are in the casino that is what we can expect, in sports events because not everything is luck.

I'd say your point is - losing doesn't really bother a gambler that wins regularly right??.That could be true.. but it depends on the situation and conditions of losing too.

If I wagered on a ticket with my big winning from another game and maybe - out of all the 12 games - 11 came through, giving me high hopes that the last one wouldn't mess up...lo and behold, my whole plan got twisted as it doesn't workout as planned? What happens?..

You are right, gamblers who can't get better after losing money in gambling should give it a break, and when they return to gambling, they should work on their wagering habit. How much they're able to lose per day and the method that works best for them as gamblers. Instead of going beyond the designated amount that would be fine with them, it's cool to reevaluate the rate at which they play games. However, losing has never been fun anywhere, not only via gambling. When we are not winning, it gets frustrating, but it's left for us to be fine and get over the troubles.

Looking at the anxiety losing more money in gambling causes, it's better to focus on spending little funds each we gamble. Greed is the only challenge gamblers face in the journey. Because when we win with little amount of money, the next move would be to wager a bigger amount, hoping to win big, then the losses follow. The gambler begins to regret why he spent huge money on his previous prediction. A contented gambler wouldn't be sad losing money in gambling, due to the fact that what he wagers isn't big enough to get him sad.

Disappointment, Anger, Get pissed or simply getting impulsive is really just that a normal reaction on which this is something to be normal to be felt out by a human being.
There's no fun in losing and this is why it would really be that important that you should really know about on how to dealt on with up on the time that you would be able to experience
it once you do able on such activity. Just like on what the rest been saying or even into the point you've mentioned that when your 11 bets turns out to be right and  that 12
one turns out to lost up all or simply with that parlay, then you would really be just be able to basically punch up that pc monitor of yours. hahaha

Circumstances can deeply affect how we feel about a particular loss, in the case of a parlay if you were to lose on the first matches and you failed to predict many other bets then you will not feel too bad about it, but if you have gotten every single one of your predictions right and you failed on the last one, that can be devastating, as you were so close to make a lot of money that you could even savor it, and to be denied at the last minute can be quite vexing.

Gambling is for fun until you decided to earn from it. Nobody loves to loss, not only in gambling but also we don't love to experience loss in other things in life. It will make people disappointed even a little. But in gambling, a gamble should ready to loss. If a gamble decided to gambling for fun then he must stake a low amount according to his budget and I think a responsible Gambler will care for some cents if he lose that in gambling. But whenever Gambler will stake money due to earn more from gambling then obviously he won't stake some cents but stake good amount, right? Then if he loss that amount then obviously he will feel bad or disappointed cause that money was a lot to him even he can afford to loss

gambling should use money that we are prepared to lose, because in gambling the possibility of someone losing is quite high so a gambler needs to be prepared for that. if they gamble using money that they themselves are not prepared to lose, then in the end they will gamble with the thought that gambling can give them the opportunity to earn more money and when these expectations do not match reality then they will very easily get stressed and take decisions that could lead to bankruptcy.

Gambling is hard. The game favors the house. However, smart people can turn the tables, and I know. Information and discipline are qualities I admire highly. You can enhance your odds but not win every hand.

That secret? Budgeting. Extremely important. Set your budget and stick to it. Common sense makes deals and develops success. You dont want pals that urge you to wager above your means. Although you may not win every time, sustainable wins are still wins. Think long-term.

Gamble wisely and enjoy yourself without ruining yourself. The right way, in my opinion. Success like that is the most rewarding.

My dear I honestly I agree with you because no one will be happy losing his valuable or tangible thins  all in the name of gambling And still call it fun .i believed that gambling can be fun only when you are winning especially when your winning is anticipayed To be a huge amount of money.

Whenever a gambler is losing any amount of money in a bet the Person becomes very tensed  And there will be no Joy AT the monment because I have never seen anyone that celebrates his loss before .losing is part of gambling And invarianly it is the ugly Side when it comes To gambling because it makes you very unhappay And less excited , depressed And loss of interest sometimes.However, I Did not see any fun in losing while gambling.

If people can thinks like that, they will not trying to spends much money to playing gambling instead just used enough money to playing gambling. They realizes that playing gambling using much money will caused them lose a big portions of their money or lose all of their money. So they will not trying to deposits much money and only used some money to enjoy the gambling games. That will be better if they used the money that they can afford because they don't have to feels too sad if they lose although there's no joy when they lose. They must avoids bankruptcy by always limiting their money when they playing gambling so they don't have to face a big problems in gambling which already happens to many people. We must limits our gambling activity when we realizes that there's no fun when we lose.

But imagine those people who go into the casino who are really there to lose their money. Like they are really happy losing money for the thrill and excitement. When they win, they feel ashamed or undeserving of the success of win they've got so they give all the credits to luck. And when they lose, they overcriticize themselves thinking they are not disciplined or analyzing enough so instead they indulge themselves and lose all to compensate to the mental pain that they have.

The truth of the fact is that nobody goes to the casino with the intention of going there to lose their hard earn money, but rather these set of people who are known to "gamble for fun" are those who goes to the casino with an open mindset to be happy irrespective of whatever the outcome of the game may be while gambling on their favorite casino games such as "Blackjack, Roulette & Poker". And one thing we should always know about those who are known to gamble for fun is that they are not poor people, because a poor man can never be happy while losing a bet, unlike the rich who wouldn't mind if the game was a lost or win, as the main aim of those who are said to gamble for fun/rich people is always about spending quality time with either family and friends, while not minding how much lost, since they have got it enough.

Many gamblers view their losses as motivation to bet more, which is why they become hooked to gambling in the first place. This is because they bet constantly, believing that they will always come out on top.  And even emotional no one will be happy when they lose a bet so if you don't want to feel sad or even depressed then aviod betting because depression and betting are always no far away. They work hand in hand and now how would you manage been melancholy while you keep playing.

There should still be boundaries to how you manage your gambling life, but there are concepts that say that if you don't want to lose, stay away or even use tactics that allow you to stop playing and try again if the game isn't working in your favor.

No one is ever happy while losing in gambling because the core essence of taking risk is to have a successful outcome. gambling is actually fun when you are winning, and it is quite interesting when your predictions are accurate but if you are losing in gambling there is this ugly impression in your face that shows that you have lost a thing of value. gambling ordinarily is two sided either you lose or win which invariably implies that you celebrate your winning and endure your loss.

sincerely speaking i feel very bad while losing in gambling because it makes me feel very discouraged, depressed and mental stressed but when you are winning in gambling it gives you the impression that you are making an improvement, and you will feel very relaxed to select other games and stake. lastly losing is inevitable but can be ameliorated in gambling and there is no one above loss anyone can lose in gambling however, if you win you celebrate it and if you lose you take it like that.

Everyone intention in gambling is to make money so therefore if there is any form of losing it is not just a good idea because everyone gambling is to make money so if you’re losing you can’t is the form if it’s a phone you have other things you can do for fun, so gambling is something you have to take all the most seriousness and put more attention even if you are done for fun and try not to lose because you are putting money on it well, some people actually do it that is for demand not for strictly gamblers that have intention of making money

The pleasure of gambling is gained in the process of gambling or during winning, not from losing. We are all used to paying to watch a movie in the theater, but we are not upset when the movie ends. The process of watching a movie allows for different emotions. In the process of gambling the same thing happens, only the emotions are much brighter. Those who say that they enjoy gambling even after losing simply realize that they paid for a good time, not for a chance to win.

In gambling, we should know this that everyone has his own reason for doing anything he sees or feels comfortable about, losing in gambling is not a threat to some people, they will always wanted to have fun from their own areas of perspective without considering the money involved or at stake as long as they are being satisfied with having enough fun in gambling, but it's on a contrary that you discover some not to take it likely when they discover about making losses on bets instead of them winning, it becomes a serious headache for them on how to get over it because they are not gambling base on what they can afford to lose on it.

To add u to what you've said, every individual should understand that they're two things involved in gambling therefore they ought to be ready for any consequences whether good or bad, yes gambling is used for fun or entertainment by some individuals and before anyone has made up their mind to gamble they should kills there emotions over any circumstances that comes up.

 Yes no one is happy to lose I'm gambling but then any individual who loses won't say they're not aware that it's a game of luck before they went into it, that's why I made mention in my previous statement that every gambler should be ready for the consequences of their actions whether good or bad cause they're already informed then if an individual claim they're ignorant of that, then that's on them.

Reasons could really be just that two: having fun, or making money. It is really just like that. There are really just that those people who would really be tending to aim for the money and not for the fun.
This is where mistakes do really happen on the time that they would be having those kind of aims. Losing is never been fun and its never been that a good situation for you to experience because
usually most people will really be that too impulsive on dealing up with loses and this is why as much as possible on which they do have the money that they could make use on, they would really be definitely be doing
it further as long they do have the funds that they could really be that making use into. Fun is something that should be the main priority when we do gamble but it would be normal that those things will eventually be changed up on the  time that you would suffering those loses which you cant blame out someone on having that reaction.

I think it is obvious and a fact that there is absolutely no pleasure or joy when someone loses his money because of anything including because of gambling, but as we see that if we talk about gambling many gamblers even dare to put large amounts of money at stake where their goal is clear that is to get a win, but what is their biggest mistake is that they do not understand that however gambling is always a risky activity which means it can lose your money in any amount.

One of the reasons is obvious that they have the intention and goal to earn in gambling but they do not pay attention that however gambling is a risky activity so when the desire is not achieved then obviously they will be emotional, meaning there is absolutely no pleasure when someone loses in gambling, especially if they carry the intention and goal to earn, And I think we can't hide from the fact that fun only happens when we win, and one thing is that there are some gamblers who don't get too emotional when they lose because they only bet small amounts like responsible gamblers do and there are also some gamblers who really get emotional when they lose like those who have entered the addiction phase because they bet amounts that they can't afford to lose.
