Title: gambling for fun vs gambling for the financial benefit.
Post by: Hewlet on January 26, 2024, 03:05:07 PM
I have read a lot of thread on this board talking about the need to gamble responsibly and suggesting that gambling is meant to be done for fun and not to be seen as a means of livelihood. While this is theoretically alright, in the reality so many persons actually gamble because they want to get some financial top up from the gamble.

What is mostly common in my neighborhood and that I mostly do is soccer betting and if I am not exaggerating, 90% of the people that do soccer betting do do because they want to win money.

They can watch the match for fun but as long as it involved them paying money before gambling, most persons don't normally see it as fun and this is the reason why after placing a particular bet, if the game isn't successful they continue betting hoping to get a win along the way thervy being seen as addict.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?

If you are betting with friends, I think it can be fun and most certainly people will look at this as you are just gambling for fun but if you do regularly and already betting large sums, it wouldn't look like you are gambling for fun anymore.

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?

anything that is wagered in the gambling platform is something that you deliberately gamble to win an amount. It doesn't remove the aspect of fun but you are gambling seriously already.

Personally, I always prefer the option of gambling for fun for the following reasons: It is practiced for the purpose of entertainment and amusement, that is, for the purpose of enjoying the gaming experience. It involves less financial risk, as a person plays with small amounts that he can afford to lose. It is also characterized by casual play, where a person plays irregularly and for specific amounts.
In terms of its effects, it can be easily controlled, and a person can stop playing at any time. It is true that it may cause some negative feelings such as disappointment or frustration when losing, but it does not usually cause serious psychological or social problems.

In my opinion, there are a lot of things that don't make sense and you have to question why they use gambling as a place to earn money, one of which is what  makes you too confident that you will really always be able to earn money while on the other hand there is always no certainty that can guarantee it. results at the end of the session? Of course  there are always two answers at the end of the session between winning and losing, you can achieve one of these two things at the end of the session which of course is the answer to your gambling involvement. However, gambling is a game of chance that involves risk, I would support your idea of "profitable gambling" if indeed gambling does not involve the possibility of risk, but isn't it not gambling if it doesn't involve risk?

Honestly I've seen quite a lot of topics like this but it doesn't matter and I will never get bored of always sharing my thoughts to lead to a straighter path in terms of approach to gambling. Another thing, the wrong approach can turn pleasure into tension due to loss, and for this problem what must be corrected in my opinion is the perspective and understanding of gambling. On the other hand, all gamblers want to win in whatever type of gambling they do, but the difference is that not all gamblers are "too pushy", so that means there are some of them who are too excessive and there are also some who are responsible and able to accept whatever the results are but they will not refuse. if you end up winning due to luck and would rather cash out than apply greed.

he sure made a lot of threads about gambling for fun. when i play mahjong with my cousins during weekends, it's only for fun actually until one of us asks loan so we can continue playing. that's when the fun starts to turn into not fun anymore.

we always end the game and just ask our cousin who plays guitar to play some songs because we'll just be drinking. all the money we have is just to chip in to buy beer. there's the fun. you can tell that even if you are playing with relatives, they are not enjoying when money is on the line.

I think we should think of gambling as just fun rather than considering it as a financial goal, after all I rarely see many people getting rich from gambling let alone making a living from gambling, I think everyone feels what I feel too and knows what we have seen so far in the world of gambling, there are many cases where many people are addicted to gambling because they consider gambling as their financial goal and in the end do not achieve it and then they play irresponsibly.

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?
I actually didn't count how much, especially since it could take away the aspect of my enjoyment of gambling, I never cared about anything, what I thought was how to gamble and enjoy the game properly without having to have financial goals, let alone trying to find instant wealth from gambling, obviously it will never be justified, it is even impossible to achieve it too, believe me, only people who have a healthier mindset will consider gambling to be just fun, nothing more and in fact everything can be well controlled in a responsible manner.

When we are young and naïve in gambling we want to make money because we still don't know the facts about gambling but once we gain enough experience in gambling we become more mature in our decisions when it comes to gambling and so we have more fun when we are more mature

It differs from time to time when you're not earning a lot every cent counts but if you're earning more you can put in a lot of money and take the game seriously since big money at stakes, it depends on the value of money for you in a currency situation you're in it could be $10 or $100, but whatever situation you're in we should only play with money that we can afford to lose.

Ever since I have been in this gambling board I have seen lot of questions if this kind and my resolution to it is just I don't have a specific purpose for gambling because the two purpose of gambling here is the core reason for indulging in gambling. how then can I separate them and chose one it doesn't work that way.

for me I gamble for the two either fun or funds, some times it's for fun while some time it's for the money, especially when I'm broke I go for money, yes according people here it's not a response way of gambling but deep down in our hearts we are there for the money. but when im okay or my work is paying me accordingly I just put in some little set out amount and gamble for fun or play those online casino game.

While this is theoretically alright, in the reality so many persons actually gamble because they want to get some financial top up from the gamble.
Everyone wants to earn money, raise their personal incomes, working a little and enjoying life at its maximum with comfort and leisure. However, it's not enough just to want something. You have to make sure the possibilities are real and feasible.

What is mostly common in my neighborhood and that I mostly do is soccer betting and if I am not exaggerating, 90% of the people that do soccer betting do do because they want to win money.
They want to earn money, but they are looking for it at the wrong place... Gambling is for those who already have money to spend and risk, not for the ones seeking to earn it "from zero".

They can watch the match for fun but as long as it involved them paying money before gambling, most persons don't normally see it as fun and this is the reason why after placing a particular bet, if the game isn't successful they continue betting hoping to get a win along the way thervy being seen as addict.
Gambling stopped being funny for these people because they are betting with money they can't afford to lose, so they get highly worried about the outcomes of their bets, since potential losses will compromise their monthly expenses and obligations, probably preventing them from fulfilling everything they have to accomplish.

People who see gambling as a job are unlikely to have fun betting, because they do this as a duty, not as a hobby. That is the main difference between poor and rich gamblers. And in most cases, rich gamblers didn't get rich through gambling, but they do gamble because they are rich... The fortune they have made were achieved through another means which don't involve gambling. It should be a valuable thought for people who gamble because they are in need of money to think over.

if you bet physically it's certainly more fun than if you bet in an online casino, just imagine the prediction you are targeting and your friends don't agree so you agree to bet and watch together it's certainly fun, isn't it?

None of the above. What I'm after is, to try always winning whenever after my session on that day.

Gambling for fun is pure crap. There are other things to make fun of without risking money. How come it's still fun even after losing much? Do these people who state gambling for fun is really having fun after that losing streak? Even if they are only putting money that they afford to lose, they don't realize how much money they are losing now while gambling for a long just to have fun.

Gambling to support financial means? That's also a crap. It's called gambling because we need something valuable to risk in exchange for good luck to hit that good big winning amount. How come it can support our financial means if everything is at risk? Forget about it.

While this is theoretically alright, in the reality so many persons actually gamble because they want to get some financial top up from the gamble.

This is actually the ideal situation for every gambler. Once you view gambling as a means of livelihood and income, you putting yourself in a very risky position especially if you have obligations to fulfill daily.

Again, gambling is not for the faint of heart- the experiences that people have shared are already written in blood as lots of people have already lost their lives battling this kind of addiction.

There was a point in my life where I viewed gambling as a means of earning income.

When I was young, the dream of earning huge amounts of cash was something that I hoped to experience. But gambling has made it possible given that I have already incurred some profit along the way. But this kind of experience was short-lived given that the profit that I have incurred along the way was taken from me wen I continued to gamble.

Quote

Again, this depends on the profit threshold of the person gambling.

The monetary aspect and livelihood of the person plays a crucial role in determining on what is "fun" on gambling in the first place. There are rich people who find gambling fun as they bet thousands to millions of $$$ in the process; but there are also people who bet a handful amount of money and they experience the same joy as the ones who have betted millions.

I would say it depends on perspective, because gambling could serve to entertain and be fun, while at same time it could be a means to a financial end for some. At such, the amount spent to gamble would differ based on the situation.

Consider a scenario where friends go on an outing and then decide to gamble after a few bottles of beer.
Would you not call that fun rather than see it as a serious means to earn a living?

For one, the gathering isn't always going to be together.
For two, unless one was an original gambler in the regular world, then the intention would be clear.

The amount spent would differ still.

We don’t give a fuck about others opinion about gambling.
Actually, sometimes, i give a shit to other's opinion only if it's interesting.

About the question, i answered this to other thread days ago, base on my way of gambling and obviously it's not for financial gains, but would be very glad if i win because who doesn't like to win.

Don't put "vs" in the subject as we should not compare the purpose of the gamblers to why they gamble.

I have noticed that those who are saying that they gamble for fun are not regular gamblers. I have never seen a regular gambler saying they are gambling just for fun. These regular gamblers are risking money on gambling in an attempt to reach their target satisfying win. That's more way fun.

Those who consider gambling to end the financial struggle depend on the financial situation of a person. If the said person is currently on the verge of losing hope, they will put their trust in gambling to save them from the problem. On the other hand, if not, I don't think most gamblers will consider gambling to serve that purpose.

Regardless of the reason why we gamble, keep responsible all the time.

On the time that you are already making gambling as a form of making money or livelihood or job then this is where shit things do happen. You cant really be able to make yourself that be able to achieve
on what you are trying to achieve because gambling is really just that purely in luck but since we are talking about betting then it wont really be shocking and this is something that would be pertaining
about into those people who could really actually be able to have that advantage comparing into those people who do make out such playing casino games on which there's no way that they could really be
able to take advantage or having the edge. There would really be no assurance to that.

Somehow there are really people who are really that playing gambling for the sake of fun, although it would really be just that only a few who would really be
able to have that kind of success when it comes to this on which there would really be those people that would be playing for fun and there would really be those
people who would be playing for the sake of money as simple as that.

I am interested in your saying that they cannot have fun with football because they have bet on it. I think this is a very sad thing. Gambling addicts are really bad people. They can't even enjoy something that should be fun like football. I don't know anyone who can enjoy games like football or MMA once they place their bets but to be honest I've never bet before and I don't think it will happen because I'm worried about getting addicted and having bad consequences.

Gambling for financial purposes or for fun, in my opinion, the difference is only slight, but with the same end, most of what you get at the end of gambling is defeat, because this is clear, if by gambling you will only get defeat at the end, because The chance of losing is of course greater than the chance of winning. Of course there are risks, not just gambling, in my opinion everything has its own risks.

I agree with you, if we discuss things that lead to goodness then there is no harm because sharing thoughts is very necessary, even though there are people who tend to keep their thoughts to themselves that doesn't mean it's worth following. and indeed in my opinion many of them are those who force themselves to gamble to get big wins, if only they didn't force them to get big wins maybe there wouldn't be such a thing as a gambling addiction. isn't that right, friend?

I would still consider gambling as fun even though I know we are still expecting from the betting winnings, but we must realize that this should not be a financial goal, if you still have a monthly salary why expect financially from gambling? If you gamble then think of it as fun.

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?
The important thing is not much of your entire income, such as a small percentage of 5% then I think it will not cause problems for you, if more than 50% I believe you will expect too much from gambling because with the remaining 50% money it will not be enough to cover your expenses.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?
You have to see it that way otherwise you'll lose your bankroll because your motivation is to make a profit and that involves chasing your losses, when money is your agenda in gambling you will face a lot of pitfalls and will eventually gamble money that you can't afford to lose and that's where the trouble begins

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?
For me, $100 is already a big amount I hope that I will be lucky so I will not lose that money it's more stressful playing with that amount and I will be pressured to try not to lose that money.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?
Because I am not an active gambler, my perspective on gambling is only for fun and not a suggestion for achieving financial goals. There is no gambling term that can provide better financial goals and perhaps only luck in the wins we get. Awareness of being involved in gambling will be based on how responsible we are and if we are unable to do so then gambling is not fun but an addiction.

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?
I prefer to spend a small amount of capital to gamble and I don't do it regularly because as I said above, my gambling involvement is only for fun when I have free time. Maybe there will be a lot of different answers when you ask active gamblers because they have different perspectives on the gambling involvement they play.

We know, we also say that gambling is only for fun it's right. But in the end most of the gamblers I assume they do gamble for financial benefits. Once someone gambles for financial benefits and depends on gambling win/lose to livelihood means he is gambling-addicted.

for me personally, yes, it’s just a pleasant pastime and no more in 99% of cases and only 1 percent is about trying to make money, it’s betting on boxing, here i can already try to make money, but such events happen extremely rarely and if I’m confident in a boxer, in a sleepy one these are bets for football and other gambling, but I don’t spend a lot of money on games, it can be 5-10% of the total monthly budget, no more.

If it were easy for me to go through all the threads in which I have shared my thoughts with respect to the same topic, I could have done that and quoted each of them right here.
 
To sum everything up, I will say I see gambling as a means of fun and also as an opportunity to increase the fund at hand. If the opportunity to win and increase what I'm going to spend is not going to be available, then there is no point in gambling with money in the first place. I can just play video games with my friends or use casinos that offer free tokens for testing and experiencing what they have to offer.
 
The earning aspect is not being taken too seriously, as I already have other means of earning, but I can't deny the fact that I still desire to win, and the claim is only for fun, which will be me trying to lie to myself about something I truly know the truth about.

Gambling should not be treated for fun purposes or means to end the financial crisis.

In a much simpler context, you will need to take risks in gambling hoping and expecting a preferred result. Therefore only by chance to get that desired result. What needs to be put at risk? Our Money, cash, anything valuable, etc. Just for the sake of fun, we will risk our money? On the part of treating gambling to end financial problems, they will use the left money to gamble. Can't imagine what will happened if all those money will be wrecked in the process.

As gambling is concerned people can be too practical by saying it's for fun without knowing that what mostly drives people into gambling is the profit they benefits from it and believe me or not there will be limited people to gamble If they noticed there is no money coming out from gambling. I will sincerely speak that nowadays nobody gambles for fun everyone is looking for a way to double their income and therefore would try as much as possible to also place some bet whether their luck could be activated through gambling.

The gamblers for money will be more than the gamblers for fun. but 90% is really high.

They can watch the match for fun but as long as it involved them paying money before gambling, most persons don't normally see it as fun
These are the kinds of people that will grumble at paying bills in a fancy restaurant they took themselves to, or even willnever give themeselves the pleasure of experiencing some kinds of pleasure or leisure. Gambling is like paying to have fun, which is very common.

Often times, this is what is being said about gambling in this forum, should be considered as gambling for fun and not for the financial benefit attached to it. I don’t believe this even though this is what everyone is saying about gambling. If there was no financial benefit attached to gambling, a lot of people will not gamble today. Where is the fun there when you’ll be losing money and not gain anything back after spending your time in it. This is just a general say but the real facts about gambling is that; everyone that is into gambling is gambling to earn more money. Even the celebrities and elites that do gamble huge amount of money do all that to increase their total wealth.

Do you see gambling as more fun than a means to a financial end?

This is a question that has generated different circles of discussion and it will be an unending debate since different people gamble for different reasons and the reason is dependent on the personal preference of the gambler. No doubt, the majority gamble for the aim of making money but then, there are very few who don't approach gambling with such a mindset and it is only the rich that fall into this category.

The above statement is imperative as it will make us understand that our opinion on this argument has nothing to do with the preference of the gambler. However, I gamble to make money because I don't have the financial prowess to gamble for fun but then, I realized that even though I gamble to make money I still have fun sometimes gambling.


how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?

The fun in gambling is lost as soon as 70% of a gambler's income is lost in gambling. Whether rich or poor, when more than one's earnings is lost in gambling, it can only create the opposite of fun, which is pain. The reason why it is widely acceptable that only the rich can gamble for fun is because the rich have the resources and can lose a fraction of it without having to worry but then, when the rich gamble with so much money which amounts to 70% of his overall wealth and lose, it can no longer be fun. He will cry like the poor.

I have read a lot of thread on this board talking about the need to gamble responsibly and suggesting that gambling is meant to be done for fun and not to be seen as a means of livelihood. While this is theoretically alright, in the reality so many persons actually gamble because they want to get some financial top up from the gamble.

Often times, this is what is being said about gambling in this forum, should be considered as gambling for fun and not for the financial benefit attached to it. I don’t believe this even though this is what everyone is saying about gambling. If there was no financial benefit attached to gambling, a lot of people will not gamble today. Where is the fun there when you’ll be losing money and not gain anything back after spending your time in it. This is just a general say but the real facts about gambling is that; everyone that is into gambling is gambling to earn more money. Even the celebrities and elites that do gamble huge amount of money do all that to increase their total wealth.
True, interest wouldnt be there considering that there's no money involved or they could make money. Whether we do like it or not, this is how this world works on which interest would really be
simply revolving if money is involved. This is why it would really be that best that you should really know on how it should be dealt with and not really raising up those expectations and anticipations that
you would really be able to make money easily with gambling on which this is really just that different. This is why it would really be that important that you shouldnt really
really be expecting too much in gambling on making money, it is really just that for the sake of fun but people do really fail on doing so but rather doing
the opposite thing.

It's also called a game, and the name game means just having fun and just entertainment. And only fools think that gambling is a place to make money/profit and multiply wealth. And by considering gambling as a form of entertainment, it can help us reduce the pressure to make financial gains. And this will obviously turn gambling into a recreational experience from an endeavor for profit. Realistically in understanding gambling, the results of gambling are often influenced by luck and most people who join the world of gambling, most of whom often experience losses in the long term. So I assume that gambling is not an activity that can be expected to provide profits every time we gamble.

By viewing gambling as a responsible form of entertainment, it is likely that we will be better able to enjoy the gambling experience without putting ourselves under unnecessary financial stress. However, it is very important to always maintain balance and be responsible when carrying out gambling activities, because if not, everything will turn into losses and regrets.

To be honest, gambling isn’t fun anymore if you keep losing from it. While it’s good to say that gambling is originally designed to bring us fun, but we can’t deny that majority of us are seeing it as an additional source of income. Even myself, I would be lying if I didn’t tell that I’m gambling for profits, but as much as I can, I want to gamble for fun and it would be a bonus already if I’m already making profits from it. Hence, we should gambling responsibly all the time.

Why not both? I mean if you really love that sport that you even play with it and at the same time you can make a bet for your favorite team or player, I think winning over it would be just an extra for you having fun but sure it involves both. As I've said you don't have to sacrifice the fun just to say you're earning out of it, you can let it stay with the chance of winning some money.

If I put more than I've budgeted then I don't find fun anymore in gambling except such game is won and then I can say the risk was worth it therby bringing the fun back so at that point the fun is dependent on the outcome of the game I had played earlier, anything so at that point I don't consider gambling just fun but business.

I personally see gambling both as fun and for financial to up and this is relative to what's at risk at the moment but then I still make sure not to take unnecessary risk so as not to get to the point of depression or been sad due to losses I suffer from the loss is any of the game just Incas I lose any of such games. But then I make sure to to be too financially dependent on the exception of the gambling proceeds but rather gamble for fun more often than I do for the financial benefits but it's still doesn't take away the expectancies.

Exactly! Many people are being hyprocrites or gamblers, saying they are doing gambling just for fun so they can't be called addicted or hoping for financial benefit from gambling. Honestly, I would say I'm not hoping to win in a gamble as long as I'm enjoying it, because I don't want to hope and expect so that it wouldn't hurt if, for instance, I still don't win anything at the end of the day. But it's not that I waste money for fun or entertainment; I allocated a budget wherein no matter what happens in my gambling session, that money will not affect my financial state, more like that money is meant for gambling, so either I win or not, it doesn't matter.

Of course I'm a human too; sometimes I feel frustration, but it's normal. As long as I can maintain myself by using only the allocated money from Ganblin, it's alright. So yeah, gambling can be both fun and a financial benefit; it will depend on the gamblers how they implement it for themselves.

In my case, I bet on sports for fun and also to make money and extend my gaming time. for example, when I deposit 20$ at the casino and I know that those 20$ are for 1 month and I won't put in more money if I lose before another month starts, so I make a lot of effort so that with each bet I make, I can get it right and make a profit, because in my opinion, although gambling should be seen as fun, this does not mean that a person should keep putting money in casinos and play games that he knows nothing about and lose. I don't see things that way, in my opinion people should value their money, and one way to value their money is that when they deposit money in a casino

Even if they get it into their heads that the money they are depositing in the casino is to have fun, they still have to work hard to win more and that money becomes bigger, no one likes to lose, say that someone lost 20 games and won nothing and this person had fun, I think it's absurd. So people play to win, even if they don't win money, winning is something rewarding and in casinos we all look for victories, consequently when we win a lot the money in our account increases considerably. There's nothing wrong with people playing games thinking about making money, the problem will be if the person keeps playing too much to the point of forgetting that there is life in the real world and that you shouldn't use money to pay bills and put it into games . If the person has discipline and good bankroll management, then the person can play thinking about making a profit and there will be no problem.

I have always understand gambling as an unpredictable and risky game which has made me never to think of to depend in gambling for financial support.  I think gambling should be played just to have fun and never to take it serious to make steady income from it. The mindset of how people see gambling really matters a lot , when their is a wrong mindset toward gambling you will just assume that gambling can be a form of gaining financial support. Since gambling is a game of lose and win, this should be the reason why people need to be careful with manner how they gambling because anything can happen. Their is no guarantee that winning will take place in every in gambling,  this is why gambling needs to be considered as a game of fun.

I personally, I don't get in this act often, I only place bet when I have the money but if there's no money at the moment I will withdraw. The little time have observed about people who spend their whole day in a casino shop; they're jobless people who don't have anything to do and seeing them their makes me think they gamble for the money, that's my thought towards those people.
When you're talking about financial end we're actually referring to source of income like where you get your daily money from and gambling can never serve as a daily end so there's no need for this agurment, you only win a bet when it's your lucky day and not always so it can never be a source of income, observe people who take gambling so serious as a lifetime job, then you make your conclusion if gambling can be a source of income.

If you are planning to get some financial top up from gambling, then you might end up losing the amount you are having that you want to top up. When gambling, there is no assurance that you are going to win, so anything can happen at any moment. You have equal chances of winning and losing, and if you are gambling for financial top up, then you might end up being addicted to gambling at any moment. That's why we should be careful when gambling, and we shouldn’t be desperate to make money from gambling.

What is mostly common in my neighborhood and that I mostly do is soccer betting and if I am not exaggerating, 90% of the people that do soccer betting do do because they want to win money.
The same thing happens in my neighborhood, most of the youths now take gambling as a source of income. There are some people that don’t have jobs, and they depend on gambling for survival. Some of them will wake up and head to a physical gambling shop, where they will spend the rest of the day, which doesn’t make any sense to me. Why will you make gambling your only source of income? But what I notice is that all of them are addicted to gambling, some of them do crazy things just because they want to gamble.

And aside the fun money is also involve at the same time because no body will tell me that when they gamble they don't expect anything in return, everything about life is risky and we all know how gambling works and getting money from it is not a really bad idea for me. Since as it is everyone is just trying to survive. And I gamble because I want money from it even if i don't win every time but at least I still enjoy playing and being expectant that I might get lucky with a win and if I don't I continue untill I will get my next win and that is how you get money from it.

LOL very good joke  :D or I should say "funny" ;D lmao. More seriously, it could also be fun to try to win money even if you fail.

That the truth if I should gamble all my attention willbe the money i will win from it i don't usually have any business with the selected games. Money is important. And if I should lose any ticket it pains me to the extent I will look very unhappy but with time I will losing up later and still check for games later and see if I could choose and bet on anyone. People usually say trading is dangerous but my problem they always see everything wrong with does that enjoy gambling. And I will continue to say this their are people that are benefactors of gambling.

This is seriously common with some future traders. I have a friend who usually lose to future trading which I introduced sport gambling to. He goes against it has he said it's a serious gambling where one can easily get addicted. But he never see himself getting addicted to future trading where he loses and still continue to play hoping to make profit soon. I don't see reasons why we should marked gambling as being bad if we can trade crypto without fear.

I have no idea. Just as the typical amounts that I'm good to lose because if I get serious on it, I don't know where I'll be picking up myself if ever the plan doesn't go well.

And with that, I don't want that to happen to myself so it's random amount and depending on the mood if I have to gamble. My mind changes from time to time so, really have no figure at all.

Maybe it can be treated the same because both have their own risks and gambling will also be related to luck.

Betting on a sports match will give me entertainment and also profit if the team I support wins.
And it's not just about winning, but I enjoy the game, winning or losing is normal.

As you said, we will learn new things when starting to bet,
this will be quite an amazing experience and can improve the strategy and analysis that will be done.

Trust be told, most of us come into gambling for the very first time with the hopes that, we could win often. The financial benefits becomes the drag but after a lot of failed attempts at a win, you begin to understand that, the markets and odds out there are out to get you. You might win, it’s possible but, not often.
Having that conclusion, you begin to reorientate yourself and check your habits about gambling. Win it comes to fun and financial benefits, the financial benefits always comes first but when you just can’t make it, your attitude towards acceptance should always be, “what the hell” “some days are like that”.

Yeah, you just accept the reality that with your hopes of making a lot of money through gambling and it doesn't happen with several attempts then you just sit and realize that this ain't the way bro. You have to make yourself find something better if you're for the financial benefit and gain that you've been trying to do. But as you've developed your gambling habit already, you change your way and reason but the habit remains and so with that it becomes the way to have fun.

It's not a matter of seeing gambling as mostly for fun or whatever, but what I really think is that any individual who loves gambling should not see gambling as a profession or an occupation that can give them a very comfortable and sustainable income. I don't really think that the essence of developing  gambling is for bettors to make money (although gamblers can make some lucky wins, which could be huge too, but not too often). Online gambling is a business set up by individuals like you and me with the aim of making profit from their business, and they usually do make a lot of profit from gamblers  losses.


Everybody always makes their own decision about how they want to handle gambling. If you handle it for fun, then only risk what you can afford to lose. If you handle it as an income source, then experience will teach you the next action to take.

I will not be a hypocrite here. Of course, I do want to win some money first. That's the goal. Next to it is trying to have some fun. Just like your example, I also bet in sports and that is to boost the entertainment factor of my preferred sport. But, I do hate it when the team I am betting for is losing especially while I am watching the game. I actually use curse words because I am drawn to the game and I badly want them to win because my money is on the line.
Some may not understand that but the way I see it, the sport becomes a little boring when no bet has been made.

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?
When higher bets are on the line. For me, that takes out the fun.
Even though I still want to win, I want to keep a moderate amount that I can still tolerate even if I lose. I don't like stress because it also affects our health. I'd like an amount that even if it's losing, I can still sleep soundly at night. There are a lot of high rollers out there but we don't need to mimic them, we can just put in money that we can afford.
In my case, I am not in a rush. Many seasons will come and many games will happen in the industry of sport. We can bet for decades and just have fun with it.

it can never be a source of income

I disagree with this assertion. My humble submission is that gambling cannot be an ONLY source of income but it can be a source of income. By interpretation, only source of income connotes total reliance on a particular activity for livelihood whereas source of income connotes that it is only a channel for generating income and not a total dependence on it.

I am into sports betting, I only gamble on weekends and my concern is getting 2odds and I can boost that I am on a winning trek. Now consider that I stake $1000 on 2odds that is, $1000 x 2 is $2000. So, I am making $1000 almost every weekend. Is that not a source of income? But then, I don't rely on it for survival since I have a job devoid of risk and unpredictability which are the ingredients of gambling.



The same thing happens in my neighborhood, most of the youths now take gambling as a source of income. There are some people who don’t have jobs, and they depend on gambling for survival. Some of them will wake up and head to a physical gambling shop, where they will spend the rest of the day, which doesn’t make any sense to me. Why will you make gambling your only source of income? But what I notice is that all of them are addicted to gambling, some of them do crazy things just because they want to gamble.


This is not the case. If you think the youths are making gambling their only source of income where do they get their staking power? Most of these youths have miniature jobs which give them money but their quest for mega money is what is luring them into gambling. I have never seen a person who is 100% dependent on gambling, whether rich or poor because in the end these gamblers always find sustainable means of livelihood. If we think people depend 100% on gambling for survival, how do they feed or survive when they don't win? This is a critical question because they don't always win.

Everyone gambles of course hoping to win money, but most lose. This mostly refers to people playing casino games such as slots, table games, wheel games, or poker. Sportsbettors are kind of in a different category to me.

You gamble to have fun and should consider whatever money you took to the casino to gamble with, gone. If you come home with money, you did ok. You're not going to beat the casino for thousands every night. They'll tell you to take your business elsewhere if you did. They have the right to refuse your business.

If you are losing thousands period, it went from fun to real unless you just have millions and just don't care.

But of course you hope there will be a profit from what you bet, it's also strange if you bet but don't expect anything financially when you win. but still under control.

I am very sure of most gamblers who agitates that gambling is primarily designed to be a game of fun, means of knowledge impactation and brainstorming to keep sensitive and active calculative smart mentalities as a medium of learning and along the lines catching Cruises of fun out of its technical challenges to bear the winner.
Some gamblers basically just stake on their games so that they could be extremely serious with all conciousness not to loose and bear the shame but to win and bears the champion but specifically for funs which makes the game more interesting without the aim of chasing after the profits the gambling board.

Once you stakes and chases after making profits and along the lines you bets above the amount you could tolerate to lost and finally you looses the game, then desperacies to recover your losts with the grudges against the gambling board or your oppositions is aroused and then your mind becomes a pit of sentiments along your gambling life.

Gambling has become two things for entertainment and for financial benefit, especially those who participate in gambling for fun and with the hope of getting pleasure, gambling is never likely to become a serious addiction. But for those who are attracted to gambling as a source of income or to overcome financial crisis, gambling can be called a type of business. They take up gambling as if they have no other addiction or occupation than gambling. Even those gamblers who become addicted to gambling to achieve financial stability at some point in their lives fall into a massive financial crisis and ultimately have no other option but to go bankrupt.

usually a gambler, gambling is for fun for pleasure only, not for a job or for a source of income. because even an expert gambler can lose. so if there is no work elsewhere, aka full gambling for work, it is very risky for his economic situation.

While our opinions are really different and most times, what we preach here in this forum isn't followed keenly by most gamblers, even those in the forum. Gambling For fun is a personal decision and gambling for financial benefit its mostly induced by pressure to make ends meet.

The most wrong thing to do is to make gambling your safe heaven when you need funds to attend to responsibilities. You should go find something rational doing to raise funds, or offer paid services in that regard. Gambling isn't a reliable way to make money and the pressure heightens when you're in a serious losing streak.

If you can cease patronizing gambling with the intent of meeting your financial needs, I believe that the fun in it is rejuvenated anyways. Its solely your decision on your motive of engagement.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?
first of all, I think of gambling as a place to entertain myself when I'm tired and have free time after coming home from work and only gambling can entertain me when I feel bored.
behind all this, it's not just about having fun, but I also consider gambling as a place to entertain myself and try my luck using small bets to try to get a big multiplier, but still with the thought of not expecting to get the win because I realize that gambling is just a business It was built to earn income for the owner and I as a gambler just try my luck and if one day I get a little big win I consider it a bonus from the gambling owner, I don't consider it as a financial helper.

If you ask how much budget I use to bet on gambling, my income is only 1%-10% and I have to use it within at least 2 weeks.
so for 2 weeks I have to maintain my budget and manage it well so I don't run out of budget, but I rarely use money from my own income; I mostly bet using the money from this campaign to bet on sports betting but sometimes I also use it on CrazyTime.
what is certain is that I never use a budget of more than 10% of my income for gambling.

Playing with family and friends that's where the real fun I think really lies in and nothing short of that. But when gambling against a sports betting company or casino the inclination to attaining fun won't be that much when you're not making some profits while gambling.

No one should depend on gambling as a source of reliable income as it's a game of luck and just like I have always said in the past you can't place your means of livelihood on an activity that the outcome is dominated by absolute luck and not by your level of skill or professionalism. If you're lucky to have a big win that's life changing endeavor to make good use of it in investing in your future because not all gamblers get so lucky in making a big win all their life they have been gambling.

Simply separate that train of thought and not mix those thoughts together, everyone has their own decisions, and it is true that as long as actions are always responsible, everything will always be seen in the same light pleasant attitude.

I'm not someone who chooses to gamble for a living, but I understand that in this matter, there are both professional players and true addicts. Every nuance always appears in an issue so there is no need to impose on people how they should play. Perhaps the orientation helps them understand gambling as well as a sense of responsibility to reduce self harm their own lives.

I’m an odds guy and I see it like this. If you are gambling for fun, you’ll probably have something like a 95% success rate. If you are gambling for profit, you’ll probably have a 10% success rate. Each method gives you the same return financially. Choose wisely.

Lots of people like to gamble because they can win. Being motivated by money can make gaming less fun and more like work.

Individuals differ in how much gaming they can handle before it becomes dull. It's more fun for some to watch or play gambling games with small bets. When game causes problems with money or makes you do things over and over again, profit may have won over fun.

Good gaming combines risk and fun with limits on time and money. To keep gaming as a fun activity and not a problem with money or addiction, you need to know when it becomes unhealthy.

Yes I see gambling as a means of fun and entertainment, gambling can't be a means of financial end as it doesn't give money to many individual. Alot of individual are losing to gambling everyday and it's only a few individuals that are benefiting from gambling due to their luck. Gambling shouldn't be depended on to provide you with income as when you depend on gambling, you're going to become an addict as you're gambling always to make money. It'll also make you chase after your losses.

There's no particular amount but when the entertainment parts of gambling leaves is when you start depending on gambling to make money that you'll use daily for your expenses. When you're over gambling, chasing after your losses when gambling. When you're doing this you have become an addict and that's when the entertainment part of gambling is gone. You can do all this with as little as $10 or smaller amounts.

If you're gambling for fun, it's like you don't think about the pursuit of income anymore, if you have that mindset, you can play well, there's no pressure, so you won't have a problem if you lose. You will be satisfied with the result, so there is a greater chance that you will not lose or lose a large amount of money,
Unlike gambling because you will expect money from winning, there is a pressure on yourself that you should win because that is the only reason why you gamble, When that happens, there is a high possibility that your money will run out and what's worse is that you go over your budget.

Gambling is basically a means of entertainment for me. But this doesn't mean that I don't expect to money from my bets. I don't think anybody will out money in gambling without expecting a win, after all nobody wants to waste money. it is not also wrong to gamble for money but it becomes a problem when you depend on your wins for survival. When you budget to use your gamble wins even you have not won, it shows that you have started depending on gambling wins.

At start gambling is for fun so in this way people loss all their happiness and money due to which they consider gambling as a financial benefit but that time he has no more money to do what he wants. Gambling is a bad addiction which is initiated with a smile but after spending whole money a man never smiles due to empty handed and no opportunity of earning.

If people are gambling with limited amount of money and during fixed day or time then it is just for fun but if someone is gambling 24 hours a day then it is an addiction not a fun. Fun ends when money ends therefore try to keep a limit on everything as excessive materials and excessive activities are toxic.

From beginning through a long process, people can change and from betting for fun, they can change to bet for rich. Very few people can control their action especially in activities that can help them to gain money, get rich. They will more probably think of getting rich and ignore all risk factors.

Gambling responsible is recommended but it is hard to practice it. Because with human body and mind, we is affected by a lot of hormones which can stimulate our greediness.

Like people think they are trading smartly with leverage and believe they will get rich by Leverage Trading while people who watch as outsiders will consider this action is like gambling which is true.

This is very reasonable and not strange, in my opinion, in fact it is like that, when people think that gambling is just for fun, they will not be too careless and play gambling recklessly, let alone irresponsibly, so everything is under good and correct control so that they can enjoy playing gambling and achieving the pleasure they want, usually they will consider the win as just a bonus at the end of the game, not a claim that must be obtained.

But it is very different from the average gambler who wants to gain financial benefits, usually they are too greedy and don't enjoy the game properly, they can't even control themselves and manage their emotions well, so they get emotional easily when playing so they play irresponsibly beyond the limits and are reckless. So in fact, that's what is happening now and I also feel it while gambling and being a gambler who only plays to find entertainment and have fun and get easier profits. I'm sure maybe everyone agrees with how I feel about gambling, although not everyone agrees with me. everyone has a different view.

Maybe culture has play some rule but what I think have big contribution there is what they expect about gambling since for that there's so many people fall in different category. There are people especially those newbies find those information about gambling from famous personality then been told about exaggerated result that they can earn easily that's why they gamble and expect a lot that they can earn a lot of money on short period of time. But result came out not in favor to them since they experience some worst situation that they didn't expect and lose the money they deposit on those gambling sites.

Also there are people gamble because they just don't care about other things and want to have fun playing their favorite games since they want to get entertained.

Individuals really have difference since we can see them have different aims towards their gambling activities.

To ensure that they would really have fun while gambling they should assure that they will never experience what you have written their and they should always manage their expectations.

Gambling is not a place to seek instant wealth, if anyone still thinks gambling can provide wealth, then almost the majority of gamblers are rich now, but in reality there are many active gamblers who still have financial difficulties due to not being able to control their emotions when placing bets.

I don't know about what the rest of you could think about the pursue of money within the whole of gambling, but in my opinion there is a difference between trying to win money out of gambling and out of sport betting. In the first case it is indeed irresponsible to try to do so, because there is no real advantage one could have against the house, in the most of the occasion one will end up losing all of the backroll one intended to multiply.
On the other hand, I believe it would be plausible to try make money from time to time using sportbetting, since one is competing against the predictions of other players, instead of the house. Of course, the house takes money out of it by placing fees and other mechanisms, but still, I assume there are more chances to effectively make money out of precisions if one is good at technical and historical analysis of the teams.

But someone addicted to bet will also commit mistakes which could take them to being penniless by the end of their sessions, so betting regularly is not recommended either, and of course not using money which one is supposed to risk in such a manner. Perhaps many of you would disagree and think gambling and betting are basically the same, though. To me they are not.

When we were young, watching football is really entertaining with our friends even though we didn't risking any money, but sometimes the loser get punishment.

But when we're get older, watching football isn't really entertaining anymore because you think why you need to wasting 90 minutes just to watch the match when you can use that time to study or work? but if you make a bet, you will feel entertain and don't think it's wasting your time to watch the match.

Casinos describe or define gambling as a recreational entertainment, and this simply means that, gambling is supposed to be mainly for fun, just same way we go to the movies, spend money on tickets, watch the movie and come out with nothing, this is same movie we could have comfortably watched in our house, but we spend money to go watch it else where.

This scenario is liken to gambling, even though gambling is better, I've always said that, I did rather gamble with the money than spend it to watch a movie in the theater, this is because, even though gambling is another end to having fun, it comes with the ability of making profit, and this profit making is why many people today no longer give attention to the fun part of gambling, but right now, everyone just wants to make money, making money through gambling should never be taken as the top priority, but the second instead, because, our struggle to make money through gambling is one of the causes of financial problems in many homes, which also is as a result of addiction to gambling.

So, for me, it's not a bad thing to want to make money through gambling, but then, it should not be our first choice or priority, gamble and have fun, when you lose, he happy still, and when you win, sing hallelujah and jubilate.

Right now, gambling in my opinion as for fun only when stress in working and get pressure from the boss I use gambling platform as my way how to forget with pressure in my office working.
When huge amount winning in gambling I think is my luckiness and not really expected every gambling time win or earn much profitable than how much my capital deposit.

You say 90% of your neighbors gamble? That statistic warns against optimism. The nature of gambling turns into a hazardous beast when the primary goal is money desperation rather than fun. The house always wins (mathematics, not pessimism). Casinos and betting platforms thrive on spectacular wins and endless losers. Most people cannot sustain a living from gambling. And emotionally? Losses can erase the joy of a win. Hope and despair fuel a cycle that often leads to addiction. Supporting healthy gambling entails acknowledging its limits as entertainment. You should stick to a small amount of your discretionary money as a budget. To balance fun and risk in gambling, draw the line there.

The "job" mentality further strips away the joy. Gambling as a duty, not a hobby, sucks the life out of every spin, every card dealt. It becomes a relentless pursuit of elusive wins, not a chance encounter with fortune. Rich gamblers, on the other hand, often approach it differently. Their bets are a sprinkle on the cake, not the entire dessert. Their wealth isn't built on risky wagers, but on legitimate endeavors. They gamble because they can afford to, because it's a fleeting thrill, not a desperate lifeline.

This is a crucial point for those who gamble out of need. Money should be a tool for living, not a fuel for gambling fires. It's a valuable reminder that sustainable wealth rarely blossoms on the roulette table. Building a secure future requires effort, dedication, and exploring avenues beyond the fickle embrace of chance.

if someone wants to use gambling as a means to a financial end, maybe they can get involved in it as a casino owner or a referral who can refer people and make a profit from it. in this way, maybe someone can get a stable income from gambling, but if they become a player, this may be very difficult to achieve.

For me gambling is an activity I follow for fun and not for the financial benefit. Any money that I make from gambling is nice to have but never my main goal. When I first started out I was focused much more on the financial aspect of gambling, but didn't have any consistent success. Now I am much happier with only gambling for fun and take any profit that comes as a bonus. Even in poker where the main benefit is making consistent profits, I am not looking at it as a form to make money. For me it's a card game that I enjoy to play for fun and would still do so if there was no more money involved. I am a micro stakes gambler, I like to play with very small betting sizes because I gamble so much. Instead of placing big bets, I would rather keep gambling for another hour. So I am comfortable with a bankroll of 100 USD, more than that is unnecessary.

Gambling is just for fun, although many people use gambling as a place to make money, including using sports betting to win some money. They will continue to place bets until they win a lot of money and many of them continuously train their analytical skills so they can predict which team will win. It cannot be denied because they also see that several people can win a lot of money from sports betting, which makes them want to try their analytical skills by placing these bets. But if they use gambling as a way to make money, they should think again because it is not easy. They have to get more information to analyze all the information to find the right team to win some money.

I can still recall a day I place a bet with a huge amount of money because I was seriously in need of money, at that point, I was doing it because I need money, though I lot the bet, and I really feel the impact of the loss on my finance, so it all boils down to which category you find yourself in.

However gambling is not a place to earn because there is absolutely no element of consistency in it and everything always runs randomly along with without any certainty, and this is the reason that makes gambling really not recommended and does not make sense to be used as a place to earn, if you remain stubborn with the belief of earning then go ahead after all you yourself will feel how bad the impact will be.

It is advisable to put in funds according to your pocket so you do not feel the pains if after playing and losing everything. I have a certain percentage for which I always gamble with and it is personal. For the fun aspect to go above or be removed, then I so.not think I would likely do that. I gamble within my budget and I also gamble responsibly.
A different perspective and maybe because I'm not very good at gambling it will be quite difficult to give a brief explanation about betting on football. The similarity may be that I also gamble according to a small budget every time I play and it is not consistent every day because for me gambling is not a step that needs to be pursued but just to have fun and get rid of boredom at work.
If you are really that making it as a job then this would really be the greatest mistake that you would really be doing into your life on which its never been that considerable on doing such thing on which we know that gambling could never really fit out into that kind of category because it is really just that intended for the sake of entertainment and fun and not for making money or a living with it. This is why it would really be always best that you should really be at least having those realizations first before you would really be finding yourself that being too optimistic towards gambling on making profits or money with it. Financial benefit? This is where we do usually make out those kind of assumptions on which this causes for you to expect that too much.

Gambling should really be just that for fun and not for making money because once you do have that kind of intellect and assumptions then it would really be just that making you desperate
and this is something which is really that very bad for you to have on which you should really be watching out with that and make yourself wary at least
into those things on which you are assuming that it could really be happening.

So that my gambling activities remain safe and run well without causing other negative impacts, I try to maintain the view that gambling is for fun and just entertainment, not a place to make a profit. But I have to admit, when I got a win that was quite large, which I had never imagined before, the view that gambling was for fun slowly faded and often pushed me to behave stupidly by continuing to seek profits from the gambling I did. Sometimes this win can make me more confident in placing a bet and there is no hesitation when betting a large enough amount because I continue to think that luck is on my side. So it is quite difficult to survive with the view that gambling is just for fun and entertainment. But I also can't expect too much from gambling, because it has been proven that the last few bets I have made have only resulted in losses.

Well there are people who are actually gambling for fun but for sure they're just a few. Most of us here are gambling to gaain profit and there's nothing wrong with it as long as you can manage negative consequences of gambling. On my end, I find gambling enjoying and entertaining however I cannot disregard the idea of gaining profit simply because I am preventing loss tendency. Many gambler can afford losing tolerable amount but of course no one wants to lose when money is considered. One good example is watching sports versus engaging in sports betting. Both are entertaining however more emotions are involved with sports betting given that wrong guess could yield to loss unlike with just watching wherein you'd only determine if your prediction is either correct or wrong.

Mostly, those who are just enjoying gambling are ones which "cannot think of ways to get rid of their money" because they are the ones who are just killing their time and not minding the loss. However there are also instances that gamblers are enjoying gambling even if they are often losing simply because they can endure the amount they are losing. But if it is for sole purpose of betting then that is for sure financial benefits.

Even the broke sometimes gamble for fun, i'v seen a broke guy doing such so it's not everyone who's facing financial challenges that involves in gambling, some people who has got financial challenges do not even gamble, it will be much better if you put your statement better or probably narrow it to a set of persons and that way it could be seen as okay than generalizing it, I know there are many out there who are hoping to settle their financial challenges gambling but only a few succeed in successfully solving their financial needs gambling.

For fun purposes gambling can actually be very helpful but if done excessively then it could rather turn a problem to gambler and sometimes the people around him as they may not be able to

Playing with family and friends that's where the real fun I think really lies in and nothing short of that. But when gambling against a sports betting company or casino the inclination to attaining fun won't be that much when you're not making some profits while gambling.

No one should depend on gambling as a source of reliable income as it's a game of luck and just like I have always said in the past you can't place your means of livelihood on an activity that the outcome is dominated by absolute luck and not by your level of skill or professionalism. If you're lucky to have a big win that's life changing endeavor to make good use of it in investing in your future because not all gamblers get so lucky in making a big win all their life they have been gambling.
Your view on the unpredictability of gambling as a career is insightful and important for gamblers. Since gambling is a game of chance and skill is irrelevant, we should avoid it for revenue. The emphasis on wise windfall utilization is emotional because its a chance to protect one's future and provide gamblers hope in an uncertain road.

Your post encourages community dialogue about gambling and reminds us that it should be enjoyed in moderation. By prioritizing fun over profit, we provide a healthier, more rewarding gambling experience. We can all encourage a culture of responsible gambling that values the excitement of the game and human connections.

But in the mean time we also should not forget the first purpose of gambling. It should be always for fun whenever people takes it for only financial benefit then they will be in danger situation.

That's right, indeed the whole gambling process is only about the money we bet on each game we play and there will also be winners and losers in the game, but if we gamble only looking for financial gain in gambling, of course we won't be able to enjoy it. every game and it will be difficult to focus when playing which results in us losing in gambling and if we can consider the gambling we play just for fun in the games we play of course this will be very good because we will be able to control ourselves when gambling and we will not gamble continuously.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?

The contents of this title are contradictory, but the essence and elements remain the same, IMO. Basically, we all bet with money and for money. however, in reality gambling is not just money which is always the main part. in gambling, we are presented with the features provided by the Casino platform. you only choose what you like, are happy with, you can even explore according to the mood you feel when you want to gamble. in it, there is entertainment that can make you have fun with it. But never forget, that there is a portion of risk that you are ready to accept. either you lose, or you are lucky with your win. as for the points you have bolded, in essence it all depends on your choice. also, how do you define gambling itself. in essence, it is your mind that plays and conceptualizes it. so, you create your own choice of how gambling is for you. what is certain is that everyone has their own perspective on gambling. the question you ask, should be your question too.

For me personally, as fun. however, that doesn't mean I don't like money and want to get it. that's why, gamble in areas that you really understand, especially if you like them. that way, you won't overthink. I mean if you want to achieve financially, all you do is create jobs, do business and so on. because it is more promising. but if you want to have fun, for example I like football. I got it, from the impressions presented. and not only that, I get pleasure from doing research and analysis. For me, this is an art in gambling, if my prediction is correct it is a sign that I am getting a bonus from something fun. If otherwise, what can you do, that's the risk, it's as simple as that. my question is, why do we often complicate it.

I have read a lot of thread on this board talking about the need to gamble responsibly and suggesting that gambling is meant to be done for fun and not to be seen as a means of livelihood. While this is theoretically alright, in the reality so many persons actually gamble because they want to get some financial top up from the gamble.

What is mostly common in my neighborhood and that I mostly do is soccer betting and if I am not exaggerating, 90% of the people that do soccer betting do do because they want to win money.

They can watch the match for fun but as long as it involved them paying money before gambling, most persons don't normally see it as fun and this is the reason why after placing a particular bet, if the game isn't successful they continue betting hoping to get a win along the way thervy being seen as addict.

Saying it should be for fun doesn't mean it shouldn't have financial incentives. If gambling wouldn't have any decent financial incentives, it most likely would not be popular at all.

People like me, who say it should be for fun, mean that when the fun is taken out of it, and gamblers do it merely for financial gains, similar to work. And because of that it's harder to accept losses. They see it as working for money and somehow reality owes them a salary for it at some point. If they don't get it, they star to blame casinos that they must be rigged. These people can be playing other people's money, or lending money for gambling. It's not fun anymore, but compulsive, and only way up.

We should be able to be happy about winning big, as we should be ready to accept the loss. That can be only achieved if we keep gambling as fun past time, instead of work.

I view gambling as a means to have fun. After being tired from work, a bad mood and confused thoughts can change after spending time in a gambling place. All the problems faced can disappear instantly after being in a pleasant atmosphere.
Gambling is not a place to seek instant wealth, if anyone still thinks gambling can provide wealth, then almost the majority of gamblers are rich now, but in reality there are many active gamblers who still have financial difficulties due to not being able to control their emotions when placing bets.
We have desires and we ought to become serious when dealing with our problems, the goal is to become financially stable and not with gambling. People that involves in gamble are mostly the ones that are facing financial challenges, they developed the mindset of difficulty and they become very desperate for more money. We gamble for various reasons, I've witnessed some tough time in the system and this have become a regular scenario that repeats if we don't learn our lessons. Gambling can very utilized for fun or survival, it's all traceable to the gambler.
When looking for money and financial freedom, there are some places you do not just knock, gambling is one of them. Although one can still make money in gambling but we should never have the mindset that we want to make money in gambling (desperation), or else, we will be betrayed, disappointed and become more desperate after slipping into a confused state. But for fun, gambling is a very good alternative, you can plan your free time fun with it, and it can also kill your boredom for you especially when movies and other hobbies have tired you. You can switch to gambling which I believe would do the job very well as you have a lot of options you can choose from from the gambling platform. In doing this, I urge the bettor to ensure that a very small amount of money is committed to it, if not, money would have been wasted unnoticed especially if the gambler loses too much than he wins.

At times too, you might just have that neutral mindset about gambling and nevertheless still lucky to win big. Just know that it's your luck, and that is the mindset I love to play and win my gambling on the casinos with. Anything outside this can put the gamblers in trouble as this is a risky activity with no means to guarantee your winnings but can make sure that you have more losses if you can't plan and control yourself while dealing with it.

My main reasons for engaging in gambling for pleasure are the excitement and thrill of the action combined with the potential for winning. Although I consider gambling to be a recreational activity, I also accept losses as an essential part of the entertainment value. I may claim to be a responsible gambler because I did not gamble excessively, and I set boundaries.

However, if we gamble with the intention of making money, that is what first comes to mind when we consider gambling for financial gain. I believe that some players might see gambling as a possible source of income, and that in order for an activity to be considered successful, winning is necessary. I see gambling as a form of entertainment because I think that focusing on it as a way to get money might lead to the development of bad gambling habits, just like you stated.

None of the above. What I'm after is, to try always winning whenever after my session on that day.

Gambling for fun is pure crap. There are other things to make fun of without risking money. How come it's still fun even after losing much? Do these people who state gambling for fun is really having fun after that losing streak? Even if they are only putting money that they afford to lose, they don't realize how much money they are losing now while gambling for a long just to have fun.

Gambling to support financial means? That's also a crap. It's called gambling because we need something valuable to risk in exchange for good luck to hit that good big winning amount. How come it can support our financial means if everything is at risk? Forget about it.

Now that you mentioned that, it suddenly made me think and you have a point, but for me, gambling is just like a game that I play like online games and in all my games there is always money involved. I also buy skins for everything I play and in my one game if I'm not mistaken I spent $1526 in just one game. My point is if you enjoy what you do and it doesn't affect your life too much, just keep going. I also gamble, yes it's disappointing to lose but if it's your loss you can afford to lose and it's budgeted, that's okay. That's my mind set, whether you win or lose, you go to gambling to enjoy it, not to win a lot of money. I won often in every gamble I had, but winning a lot of money is a bonus.

Its not hypocritical everyone definitely wants to win to gain profits in gambling, but I have a different opinion and depending on the game I'm playing if I play slots I think of it as having fun I just enjoy every spin and don't really hope to win big but if by chance I getting a jackpot means that it is my luck and I immediately take it and don't try to spend it in just 1 game. But if I don't get anything when playing slots, it doesn't really matter because I have prepared my funds to have fun playing slots.

However, when I bet on sports, I really need a profit because I use skills and analyze it first before starting to bet and hope to make a profit, sometimes I win and sometimes I lose, but I can still control myself to accept all that. In sports betting, I don't always make a profit, so sometimes I also while enjoying it because the important thing is that I use money that I can afford to lose.

You say 90% of your neighbors gamble? That statistic warns against optimism. The nature of gambling turns into a hazardous beast when the primary goal is money desperation rather than fun. The house always wins (mathematics, not pessimism). Casinos and betting platforms thrive on spectacular wins and endless losers. Most people cannot sustain a living from gambling. And emotionally? Losses can erase the joy of a win. Hope and despair fuel a cycle that often leads to addiction. Supporting healthy gambling entails acknowledging its limits as entertainment. You should stick to a small amount of your discretionary money as a budget. To balance fun and risk in gambling, draw the line there.
But I believe that from the 90% percentage of gamblers in our environment, there are also quite lot who gamble as means of having fun, even though in reality, if we calculate it based on the percentage of ambition to make money, it could be much greater.
Gambling is place where someone can spend money quickly without any return and the average gambler always thinks that gambling can bring financial benefits and help with source of income.
This is wrong mindset and of course if it is set in the long term then very significant negative impacts can be felt in shorter period of time, it would be shame if something like this really affected more gamblers out there.

I also live in community where quite lot of people enjoy gambling, although most of them gamble with their own passions such as physical card games, online gambling and are also lottery fans, but there are still many who can use gambling just as place to have fun like.
Almost all gamblers who have the wrong approach and mindset are those who are just growing up or around 20 years to 30 years old and we gamblers who are older and have lot of experience can already have awareness even though it is not completely complete.

The mindset and approach to gambling is the starting point that determines the direction of gamblers in the future.

There are two types of people who gambles. One does gambling for recreation and one does gambling in order to earn some extra money in hand. The first type of people are usually rich. For them money doesn’t matter at all. They just gamble for fun. On the other hand, needy people gambles by measuring all the risks. Now if you ask me, then I am an occasional gambler. I gamble when I am in need of money and that too I bet only in sports games to maximise my winnings.

In fact, I would say that those who say that gambling is for fun are at least false because no one ever gambles with their hard earned money for fun, there is a hope of earning something. As I always say I take gambling as entertainment I never gamble outside of entertainment but always know in the back of my mind that I am not using my hard earned money for fun. But this is also true though I use it for earning but I never make this gambling addiction I know gambling addiction is very serious but now I can stop gambling anytime and start again. But we can stop and start gambling whenever we want and also make this gambling our addiction which is why we call gambling for entertainment.

And don't ever be the second one because you're not going to love the feeling that it entails when you're in that category because that means that you're desperate and you've got no way other than gambling to make more money for yourself. Also, the second kind are the ones that shouldn't even be gambling in the first place because they need all the money that they can get their hands on to survive or maybe even save up so they can have some fighting chance in life and to change the state that they're living for the better, gambling your money away when you could've use that money to save for a car or a new phone or even better an investment. Don't pretend to be the first type of people if you know yourself to be the second type, it's going to bite you back big time.

Playing gambling should be fun for a while in your free time. But in reality, gambling has become like an activity that they have to do. They want to win the gambling games they often play, making them play them more often. After playing the game for some time, they want to win.

But they don't realize that they won't win easily when playing gambling. They will find it easier to lose than to win. But they continue gambling because they still have the urge to win the gambling game. That is why gambling is just for fun and not to achieve financial goals for everyone who plays it.

And we can only use gambling as entertainment. If they still want to try to win, they should first think long and hard about the risks. That's so they realize that they will only spend more money. Even that doesn't guarantee they can get the victory they want. They should use gambling for fun and enjoyment and look for income elsewhere.

Both are very important to me, I enjoy gambling for fun but also hope that luck will come my way because as a gambler of course I also want to make a profit but that doesn't mean I don't accept it if I lose because I also enjoy gambling. For gamblers, they definitely want additional income to be able to supplement their financial needs, but gambling is just a game so we shouldn't expect to make a profit, but there's nothing wrong with occasionally winning and making a profit and the most important thing is that we think we can have fun in it gamble.

Not everyone has the same objective in opi gambling, every gambler has different objectives in gambling. Some people gamble to make money while others gamble for fun and enjoyment. But in my opinion it is better not to gamble to earn money. This is because the number of losses is high in gambling where the tendency to lose is more than to earn. As a result, some people are more vulnerable to top up their finances from gambling. Gambling for financial gain can never be fun. Gambling to make money is more likely to lead to gambling addiction. So in my opinion it is better to gamble for fun than to gamble for money.

Situation may vary depends on your target on that particular day since there are times we are trying to be competitive since winning some amount is satisfying that's why we aim to get those big wins.

But also there are times that we are just want to have fun since we are waiting for something and fine something to do sand we don't want to get bored that's why we gamble just to have fun. For sure there are some people doing this and usually they don't bet large amount since they know that they could provably lose their bets its because they are not serious playing or maybe they are not in comfortable environment and just play because of boredom reasons.

You are dancing on fire if you see gambling as a means to your financial problem, you are only waiting to get burnt, trust me, it will happen.

The fact is you can't beat a casino, if you are going to ever get lucky, believe that casinos always win and play safe first, use what you can afford to lose, if you have a financial goal start learning a reliable skill online or offline.

Start looking forward to invest part of your money in crypto assets or just Bitcoin, this will change your life for better than relying on gambling, engage in gambling only with your spare money.

Again we are discussing the thing we have discussed many times here. Gambling is about having fun and entertainment, this is not about earning money. I will try to make a comparison. Consider gambling is football. Many play football for fun, and only few do it professionally and earn millions. Among those who play football for fun, there are who try to do it on a professional or close to it level. These are those who are lucky to win in gambling. Also there are those who play football, spend money on uniform, boots, rent frields, have personal training - spend a lot. They never get on a top level, but the amount of money they spend on football is astronomical. These are people who gamble and lose a lot. Mostly play football for fun, only because they like that sport. These are people who gamble for fun.

No gambler easily gets profits from both slots and sport gambling. The aim is mainly for fun purposes. Ready to take up any result that appears on the screen. Slot is quite fun and should be enjoyed sparingly, as it gets to a point where the fun takes up all our funds, leaving us sad. Hence a gambler needs to understand the act of management. Controlling his thoughts and money as well. Chasing over the funds or financial benefits of gambling can lead a gambler to chronic mental darkness. Which will cover his views of the future and the strategy he planned on while gambling. The goal is to stay safe and responsible, not making money without some bearing of mind on ways to control the funds, or a method to spend it. There is no use of making huge money that wouldn't grow or help in advancing the financial economy of the gambler in future.

into those things on which you are assuming that it could really be happening.
Some people will come to a gambling place with stable and much better finances so they will not have problems if they experience losses on the bets they place. But I don't see gambling as a way to make money like we work in other places because of the uncertain nature of gambling. The biggest mistake that people make when gambling is because the income structure is unstable so in conditions like this it will only increase the problem and if they are not responsible in spending money then this addiction can kill many things.

It is very difficult to control gambling for those who do not have a steady source of income because the perception of seeking profit from the gambling they do will affect them psychologically. Gamble when we have a certain amount of money that is not affected for daily needs because even if we lose it will not create problems in our lives. If we ourselves are unable to control it, then don't expect other people to be able to cure addiction because this is directly related to our intentions and subconscious thoughts.

However, when I bet on sports, I really need a profit because I use skills and analyze it first before starting to bet and hope to make a profit, sometimes I win and sometimes I lose, but I can still control myself to accept all that. In sports betting, I don't always make a profit, so sometimes I also while enjoying it because the important thing is that I use money that I can afford to lose.

agreed. Even though there are people who gamble for fun, I'm sure deep down in their hearts there is a desire to win. Everyone who gambles definitely has the aim of wanting to get a profitable win. It is impossible for people to gamble with the idea of wanting to spend money or wanting to lose. It is impossible. Hoping to win at slot gambling is the same as hoping for the impossible, but no one knows what will happen in the future, because last night I won quite a big win at slot gambling, even though I wasn't playing seriously, but this might be what is called luck.

Yes, in any form of gambling, you will eventually win or lose, but in my opinion, losing dominates more than winning, because even though gambling requires skill, it only increases the chances of winning, but even so, luck cannot be separated, luck still has a role. That's good, we should gamble with money we can afford to lose.

Fun 100%. I never really thought of it as a way to earn money but I suppose a part of me in the past thought I could get some quick bucks now and then if I got lucky, but never fully committed to thinking it was a solid way to earn. I fully understood both then and now that it'd be dumb to rely on luck to earn money.

To give a basis ig, basically an amount that would risk my living standards and basic needs. In the first place, I already have a set amount that I use to gamble. Even if it did go past that, I think I'd still be fine since I set it with a bit of a lax area just in case, but I guess anything past that would be too much. However I'd say discussing your amount of winnings is the part that takes away from gambling. Maybe discussing the result of one, two recent games then sure, it's ok. But if it was total amount? Nah, it'd just get depressing real quick.

If you are really that making it as a job then this would really be the greatest mistake that you would really be doing into your life on which its never been that considerable on doing such thing on which we know that gambling could never really fit out into that kind of category because it is really just that intended for the sake of entertainment and fun and not for making money or a living with it. This is why it would really be always best that you should really be at least having those realizations first before you would really be finding yourself that being too optimistic towards gambling on making profits or money with it. Financial benefit? This is where we do usually make out those kind of assumptions on which this causes for you to expect that too much.

Gambling should really be just that for fun and not for making money because once you do have that kind of intellect and assumptions then it would really be just that making you desperate
and this is something which is really that very bad for you to have on which you should really be watching out with that and make yourself wary at least
into those things on which you are assuming that it could really be happening.
Some people will come to a gambling place with stable and much better finances so they will not have problems if they experience losses on the bets they place. But I don't see gambling as a way to make money like we work in other places because of the uncertain nature of gambling. The biggest mistake that people make when gambling is because the income structure is unstable so in conditions like this it will only increase the problem and if they are not responsible in spending money then this addiction can kill many things.

It is very difficult to control gambling for those who do not have a steady source of income because the perception of seeking profit from the gambling they do will affect them psychologically. Gamble when we have a certain amount of money that is not affected for daily needs because even if we lose it will not create problems in our lives. If we ourselves are unable to control it, then don't expect other people to be able to cure addiction because this is directly related to our intentions and subconscious thoughts.

gambling for fun, if you think about it, it seems like there are many other things that are just as fun but without having to spend money and don't have big risks like gambling Even though it's everyone's choice, yes, there are people who gamble with the aim of having fun I don't know what the fun is,  but what is certain is that the fun is in the winnings they get from gambling, but the other side of gambling is only a possibility The amount refers to the loss, so it is impossible for them to be happy when they lose at gambling.

gambling for financial gain, in my opinion this should not be done, because gambling itself will not always bring profitable winnings and therefore profits will not always be obtained consistently,  because in gambling there is such a thing as a host, well while the host has The advantage of always getting a win cannot be avoided or eliminated, so if we are only player-based, in my opinion we won't be able to get stable profits.

Playing gambling should be fun for a while in your free time. But in reality, gambling has become like an activity that they have to do. They want to win the gambling games they often play, making them play them more often. After playing the game for some time, they want to win.

But they don't realize that they won't win easily when playing gambling. They will find it easier to lose than to win. But they continue gambling because they still have the urge to win the gambling game. That is why gambling is just for fun and not to achieve financial goals for everyone who plays it.

And we can only use gambling as entertainment. If they still want to try to win, they should first think long and hard about the risks. That's so they realize that they will only spend more money. Even that doesn't guarantee they can get the victory they want. They should use gambling for fun and enjoyment and look for income elsewhere.
I've seen, and perhaps we all have, how readily the pleasure of the "win" compels many to chase losses into the abyss.
I speculate on the psychology behind it. Why play against our better judgment? Is it the adrenaline, escape, or enjoyment of the game? I believe we can be healthier and more sustainable if we focus on play rather than results. Instead of the balance sheet, define success by smiles per hour.

Let's not forget that gambling may bring people together, laugh, and even discover themselves when done right. We find a microcosm of life when we bet for enjoyment, understanding the risks but enjoying the game. Gambling as entertainment reminds us to enjoy the trip, not just the destination. Always gamble with fun and an open mind, buddies.

What you say is very rational. How could it not be fun in gambling, namely the jackpot or winning. However, if all you get is defeat, it will be stressful, whatever the amount. And it would be very wrong if gambling was aimed at financial enrichment. From my gambling experience, the percentage of losses is greater than the winnings. If you calculate this capital, it is actually minus. So in reality gambling with the aim of financial enrichment is misguided.

What is mostly common in my neighborhood and that I mostly do is soccer betting and if I am not exaggerating, 90% of the people that do soccer betting do do because they want to win money.


They want to win the match is different from what they want to win the match to meet survival needs.

It is very common that we want to be successful in everything we do and the same happens in gambling too, when we bet on sports betting or even if we just be a fanatic of a team we just want them to win.

What is wrong, when you don't have a source of income and you have some money that time if you think that you can win a bet and keep on winning.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?

The truth about this is, gambling is supposed to be seen as an entertainment and not a way to make a living but the financial benefits of it can not be overlooked. We have two categories of people in gambling with different mentality about the entire game. The first set of people are gambling with what they can afford to lose just to have the fun and the excitement of the game. They are not bothered whenever they lose their games and doesn't expect to transform their lives from the winning or making their survival depend on the winning.

The second set of people don't know fun exit in gambling as they are only focus on winning or winning alone. This category of people become frustrated and worried when they lost their game because they already put high hopes wining in order to make a transformation in their lives and sometimes, they gamble with what they can not afford to lose. To them, the only thing funny about gambling is only when they win forgetting the purpose is to have fun and enjoy the experience. Regardless of the category you belong to, the financial benefit of it make it more interesting because no one has ever returned their winning before. So, yes! We gamble for fun and to also have financial benefits attached to it.

Both are very important to me, I enjoy gambling for fun but also hope that luck will come my way because as a gambler of course I also want to make a profit but that doesn't mean I don't accept it if I lose because I also enjoy gambling. For gamblers, they definitely want additional income to be able to supplement their financial needs, but gambling is just a game so we shouldn't expect to make a profit, but there's nothing wrong with occasionally winning and making a profit and the most important thing is that we think we can have fun in it gamble.

Both for me too I do it for the fun of it and also for the benefits it comes with which is the potential win. Gambling is all about luck and I know even people that will say they are not for the money but everybody's mind is always their and the best thing you can do is to aviod been an addict. Because people are money driven and are ready to go to any extent to win money. If you lose you must one way or the other accept your loss. Because you won't get your money back. And I don't see the reason why you will want to make gambling another means of income instead of going for a actually job. Instead of relying on gambling. Does that embarked on that journey did not end well for them.  So the best just play for fun and let it go and you will be free that way even from addiction.

As someone who has gambled, I can say that initially gambling was just for fun after being tired of working, apart from being fun at first, gambling often provided a little benefit to my finances, but gradually I felt like I was losing money and in the end it was no longer the fun I got from gambling but Destruction ,Currently slowly trying to leave gambling and trying to improve myself after all the effects of gambling have caused destruction in my family relationships, I have never calculated how much profit I can get from gambling but what is certain is that the losses I feel now are much greater than the profits and also limited to the pleasure of gambling, I think we can think about it logically if the pleasure of gambling is only for a moment and when the money we have runs out then the pleasure of the game is also over and in the end we also have to enjoy the pain after losing.
 I think the money we have and spending with the family will be more fun than spending it at the gambling table.

I love the fact that you personally highlighted on the benefits you've gotten so far for gambling because of the financial benefits but I think I have a contrary experience and I'm going to share my experience in this topic now.
When I was first introduced to gambling, I had the mindset that I'm going to make a lot of money through gambling and it was because of that mindset that I was always engaging in gambling but what I experienced then was that I was always losing my money until I even become very addicted to gambling. Luckily for me, I was talked out of addiction by a friend, I left gambling after then but returned again after few years away from gambling. Since I started gambling again, I always have the mindset of gambling for fun and that have helped me to win more than I lose

On the other hand the danger in gambling is when you push too hard and put excessive expectations on winning because gambling is just a probability activity that only provides the "possibility" between winning or losing, so with us only focusing on fun then we will be able to avoid some out of control actions, on the other hand I see that you have a good understanding of gambling, keep it up.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?

None of the above. What I'm after is, to try always winning whenever after my session on that day.

Gambling for fun is pure crap. There are other things to make fun of without risking money. How come it's still fun even after losing much? Do these people who state gambling for fun is really having fun after that losing streak? Even if they are only putting money that they afford to lose, they don't realize how much money they are losing now while gambling for a long just to have fun.

Gambling to support financial means? That's also a crap. It's called gambling because we need something valuable to risk in exchange for good luck to hit that good big winning amount. How come it can support our financial means if everything is at risk? Forget about it.

Now that you mentioned that, it suddenly made me think and you have a point, but for me, gambling is just like a game that I play like online games and in all my games there is always money involved. I also buy skins for everything I play and in my one game if I'm not mistaken I spent $1526 in just one game. My point is if you enjoy what you do and it doesn't affect your life too much, just keep going. I also gamble, yes it's disappointing to lose but if it's your loss you can afford to lose and it's budgeted, that's okay. That's my mind set, whether you win or lose, you go to gambling to enjoy it, not to win a lot of money. I won often in every gamble I had, but winning a lot of money is a bonus.
Bro, it is not easy as you said it, losing money and still enjoying gambling is not so convenient if we would say that truth. People have the ability to risk more than one another and we often brace for the outcome better than each other. Imagine, you lost $1526 at a go? You have a huge mind even as you said it as if nothing happened, that can't sit down well if I were you as hard-earned money is not to be wasted easily like that. I've also lost some quite amounts too, but nothing has been so substantial at a go in my casino as yours, it might be much in accumulation, but certainly, I am not that careless to make it big in a bet. I make sure that I make it stretch better in time so that it will reduce the level of hurt per loss.

Sadly, I can't say the same in trading, it is in trading that I had lost more than that at a go, but still, it wasn't a good moment for me for weeks until I had the mind to let go. Talking about the fun part of gambling, it is so possible that we have fun in gambling but you can't be wagering a huge amount and want to have fun, unless you are very rich, just like those who are playing round table games, though it still pains some of them, yet they always have that fun among the circle of the rich guys. If not, I think that we should limit the amount we gamble with when it comes to the fun, but if it is the true risk of betting for the money you seek, why not risk huge? But no one should say they are seeking fun in gambling and still wagering with big money at a go, such will only cut their joy short unless the money was stolen.

When looking for an additional income in gambling it puts the player one step behind any other player who doesn't think like this. The act of gambling requires focusing and minding our moves and actions. Hence when the point of gambling is mainly for profits the gambler wouldn't mind neglecting the strategies he had for gambling. Thereby risking his gambling experience and accumulating a bad experience off his gambling activities. It's not a competition. Players have multiple reasons why they take gambling as a competition, which include greed, extra income, and other gambler's wins. I think the casino uses the wins of others exposed on the board, as a means of attracting the attention of those gamblers who chase losses because of the wins of another player. The casino is also using strategies to get more money from the gambler; therefore, a gambler is expected to take his strategies seriously and forgo chasing losses. Timing is the best gambling technique.

There are two types of people who gambles. One does gambling for recreation and one does gambling in order to earn some extra money in hand. The first type of people are usually rich. For them money doesn’t matter at all. They just gamble for fun. On the other hand, needy people gambles by measuring all the risks. Now if you ask me, then I am an occasional gambler. I gamble when I am in need of money and that too I bet only in sports games to maximise my winnings.
Gambling and entertainment, that's what I do gambling to entertain me. Because there are some gambling games that make me come back refreshed and can think well. I'm not addicted but I don't gamble to make more money, because I'm not an expert. So I do leave a little money to gamble online, or bet with my friends on soccer matches. But I don't do this to the point of harming others or even harming myself. Because I heard a lot of news that people addicted to gambling are very bad for their lives.

I still believe that everyone is still gambling for financial benefit however it could vary from  the intensity of of one's urge. Maybe in your case it is now not your priority to be rich from this industry. But for sure there will still be that will and hunger to win and earn financial benefit perhaps to have money to gamble for the next day I guess, simply because you enjoy playing. It does make sense still right? Not to invalidate your point but just trying to elaborate it for other's understanding as well that you may still expect for financial  benefit while prioritizing entertainment. It just can't be; if you are really for entertainment alone you should have played pocket mobile poker game in your phone. Financial freedom and financial benefit could mean different depending on where finances will be used.

We just cannot remove financial benefit from gambling as an expected outcome, given that it is money being used in the first place on every bet.

Also, addiction will never be causing us anything good of course. It is already an unwanted state of mind so I guess it would be wrong to always refer into it as one of the expectancy of being a gambler 'coz not all gamblers in the first place are the same; there are those who are responsibly playing.

Most people would say if you lose all the time it removes the fun aspect, there has to be some element of betting correctly and winning the bet.  I would argue the money or size of the money component is really not important compared to just winning and knowing your bet was correct.  On financial side of betting, this is about allocation in my view because if you can allocate your confidence levels correctly to best match your chances of being correct in your betting then you will gain on average.  The average game played is random and games cost and you will not gain, be ready for that its rare people know how to guess when they will win and bet more at those times; gambling should stay fun sized not a level of loss possible that ruins the whole bet idea for you.

Of course, everyone who decides to gamble will definitely hope to win in spite of the fun, because it is impossible for someone to gamble just wanting to lose, even so, we still can't expect much from gambling. Let's just say that if you are lucky you can definitely win, if you lose it means You are unlucky because gambling is a game of chance. We can't predict what slot games will happen in each round and if we are lucky we can get a jackpot like the one you got even though you don't take it too seriously indeed that's gambling. Sometimes if we are too ambitious to make a profit we always end up losing.

It is true that gambling losses dominate the game more often than wins, therefore we have to be more careful if we want to gamble so thats your finances remain stable because if you drag yourself too much into gambling it can lead you to bigger losses.

Getting a win is really fun, especially a big win. This makes many people continue to gamble to try to get bigger wins. They forget that their gambling winnings will not always come to them. It is an adrenaline rush, an escape, and enjoyment of the game and it all comes together in a gambling game.

Only people who are wise in dealing with gambling can see that gambling is about having fun for a while. Others will think about getting another win but it will be difficult for them. If we can focus on gambling and respond with a smile, we will see that gambling is indeed a tempting entertainment.

Gambling can give people everything, including laughter, sadness, frustration, and the joy of winning. But it all comes back to gambling just being fun. We can just enjoy the gambling game without having to try to win. Let victory come to us.

The thread starts from a false dilemma because an essential part of fun when gambling is betting with money, it is the possibility of winning, even if it is little. I don't know if anyone has tried it playing cards with friends. If you don't bet money it is more boring, but the moment you bet something, even if it is a low amount, it gets more exciting. The difference can also be seen for example in poker sites like Pokerstars in which in the play money tables people play everything without any consideration, and when you see the ones with money but in the lowest limit (NL2), the way of playing changes considerably.

I think most people are seeing gambling as financial benefit. To be honest, if we go and ask young people that usually go out (or online) to bet on sports here, none of them would say its for fun. Many would repeat they wanna make their dinner free or they wanna hit couple thousand dollars to go on short holiday, some would say they would buy a gift to their mother and girlfriend. Its so hard to keep claiming gambling is only for fun in my opinion. More people think different.

Gambling may give us temporary pleasure but the purpose of gambling is to make money. Gambling is an attractive game and those who gamble understand its appeal. Seeing the appeal of gambling, gamblers consider gambling as both a fun and a money-making site. I think that a gambler's purpose is not to have fun while gambling but his main purpose is to make money while gambling as well as having fun. If he was just playing for fun, he wouldn't be risking money at all.

Gambling may give us temporary pleasure but the purpose of gambling is to make money. Gambling is an attractive game and those who gamble understand its appeal. Seeing the appeal of gambling, gamblers consider gambling as both a fun and a money-making site. I think that a gambler's purpose is not to have fun while gambling but his main purpose is to make money while gambling as well as having fun. If he was just playing for fun, he wouldn't be risking money at all. Gambling is a game where the result is in favor of winning money and if the result is against the whole money is lost, knowing this huge risk of money, gamblers gamble in the hope of profit.

If you say that purpose of gambling is to make money, then why lots of people fail to do that, lose instead, but people keep on gambling? Does not make sense. Person will never do bad for himself, his brain will not allow that. People see others lose, know about addiction, now how much is lost and probably remember their negative experience, yet still gamble to make money? I still think gambling is mostly about entertaining, and a small % (statistical error) make money from it.

what you say is the current reality experienced by gamblers. but actually, gambling is a paid game. there is a gamble and winning is the reward you get. those who end up considering gambling to make money, mostly experience problems with their finances. Maybe it won't be a problem when gamblers hope to win, it's very natural in every game we hope to win. but we have to know the limits of gambling. Just like you play games, when you play too much there are bad effects that you will experience.

Actually it is really just that for fun and you should be thinking that you are paying for the fun that you are really that getting because if you are really that minding about on making it as a source of income or money then this is where shit things do happen .This is why it would really be that best that you should really be wary and be realistic on whatever decisions that you are really that making

What is mostly common in my neighborhood and that I mostly do is soccer betting and if I am not exaggerating, 90% of the people that do soccer betting do do because they want to win money.
In my society, I can say that more than 90% of gamblers are gambling for the sake of financial benefits. If there are rules that you won’t be able to withdraw your winnings from gambling, you will discover that most people will stop gambling instantly, they will never go close to gambling again. Gambling is taken as a source of income in my community. That’s why addiction is increasing on a daily basis. People are involving themselves in crazy things just to make money to gamble, which is not making sense. If people are gambling for fun, then you won’t see people involving themselves in illegal things just because they want to gamble.

However, the only thing that makes it different is that it is out of control in gambling, the negative effect of gambling only happens if the gambler becomes greedy, and continues to gamble using any method they can just to continue their gambling activities.

People are involving themselves in crazy things just to make money to gamble, which is not making sense. If people are gambling for fun, then you won’t see people involving themselves in illegal things just because they want to gamble.
Not just in your community but also in mine, there are people who can't seem to get over the idea that gambling is an alternative means of income. In my opinion, this is a sick mentality for some gamblers, as their addiction can be fueled by the thrill of the game and the possibility of winning, making them feel so desperate for money that they may even chase their losses.  Some people in my country are also very delusional and overly self-confident, believing they have a special skill or strategy that can consistently beat the odds at gambling. As a result, they became dependent on gambling as a source of income, but regrettably, they ended up losing just like any other gambler who lacked self-defense.
 
But in terms of engaging in illegal activities, I don't often hear about that type of thing in my neighborhood since some people in it have a source of income, but some don't, and those who do work part-time jobs are only temporary, but they will still receive some payment, even if it's minimal. I believe that applying illicit ways to finance gambling is unethical and, of course, illegal. Perhaps they are only doing it to support their gambling addictions, but this is not a recommended or justified course of action, right? and it could be the reason that the number of criminal cases in a particular nation is rising as a result of people taking such actions.

I am interested in your saying that they cannot have fun with football because they have bet on it. I think this is a very sad thing. Gambling addicts are really bad people. They can't even enjoy something that should be fun like football. I don't know anyone who can enjoy games like football or MMA once they place their bets but to be honest I've never bet before and I don't think it will happen because I'm worried about getting addicted and having bad consequences.
I don't agree with this, personally I still have fun even after staking on a certain game and this is not because I don't care about the money I stakes but I refuse to allow my fun becomes dependent on the possibility of me winning the game because even before I stake I make sure to make a very good analysis to keep me at advantage and also stake that which I can afford to lose.

It's only addicts and those who are solely dependent on the winnings they will get from gambling that will not be able to have fun gambling especially on football because they have made their fun and entertainment reliant on the outcome of that which they have placed their money on a d moreover some of these fellows do stake much more than they can afford to loose so it really stops the fun even before they get started, if you have fears of addiction maybe you are the type who does too much of everything then abstainance is the best option to explore for you.

I think I agree with you on all that you said, and just to add, gambling with the intention of making money and gambling with the internation of just having fun are actually two different things, but what I do believe is that, none of this two will bring winning to a gambler faster, as it doesn't matter whether you are gambling for fun or not, luck is what determines when you win and when you lose.

The only thing I know that gambling with the intention of having fun does for a gambler that is better than gambling with the intention of making money is that, it helps a gambler feel more relaxed, more focused and pays good attention to the game, this is actually beneficial to the gambler as in some games, most especially like skill based games, this I mentioned could help or increase such gambler's chances of winning the game.
Meanwhile gambling with the intention of making money makes a gambler feel very anxious, unrelaxed, tensed and frustrated, most especially when the anticipated winnings aren't forth coming.

Gamble for fun, financial benefits can arise while taking your time to have some fun in gambling, but don't gamble mainly to make financial gains from gambling, since to win is very hard in gambling its better to just do it for fun.

There are many life changing skills in the world today, learn one and make use of it, don't rely completely on gambling only, because it's obvious that gambling isn't real and it never was because it's completely based on luck, something that has no date for visiting, it only come around when you are not expecting it.

In gambling be careful what you seek for, hoping to make something happen in gambling is not a reality, it doesn't make it impossible but you don't want to bet everything on this, the chances id losing everything is very big, take it with a grain of salt, gamble only when you can afford it.

Its not hypocritical everyone definitely wants to win to gain profits in gambling, but I have a different opinion and depending on the game I'm playing if I play slots I think of it as having fun I just enjoy every spin and don't really hope to win big but if by chance I getting a jackpot means that it is my luck and I immediately take it and don't try to spend it in just 1 game. But if I don't get anything when playing slots, it doesn't really matter because I have prepared my funds to have fun playing slots.

However, when I bet on sports, I really need a profit because I use skills and analyze it first before starting to bet and hope to make a profit, sometimes I win and sometimes I lose, but I can still control myself to accept all that. In sports betting, I don't always make a profit, so sometimes I also while enjoying it because the important thing is that I use money that I can afford to lose.

agreed. Even though there are people who gamble for fun, I'm sure deep down in their hearts there is a desire to win. Everyone who gambles definitely has the aim of wanting to get a profitable win. It is impossible for people to gamble with the idea of wanting to spend money or wanting to lose. It is impossible. Hoping to win at slot gambling is the same as hoping for the impossible, but no one knows what will happen in the future, because last night I won quite a big win at slot gambling, even though I wasn't playing seriously, but this might be what is called luck.

Yes, in any form of gambling, you will eventually win or lose, but in my opinion, losing dominates more than winning, because even though gambling requires skill, it only increases the chances of winning, but even so, luck cannot be separated, luck still has a role. That's good, we should gamble with money we can afford to lose.
Of course, everyone who decides to gamble will definitely hope to win in spite of the fun, because it is impossible for someone to gamble just wanting to lose, even so, we still can't expect much from gambling. Let's just say that if you are lucky you can definitely win, if you lose it means You are unlucky because gambling is a game of chance. We can't predict what slot games will happen in each round and if we are lucky we can get a jackpot like the one you got even though you don't take it too seriously indeed that's gambling. Sometimes if we are too ambitious to make a profit we always end up losing.

It is true that gambling losses dominate the game more often than wins, therefore we have to be more careful if we want to gamble so thats your finances remain stable because if you drag yourself too much into gambling it can lead you to bigger losses.
You say it's all about luck, that's half the story. There's no doubt that nobody plays to lose. But here's the catch: it's not just about trying to win or relying on luck. Strategize, assess odds, and know when to quit. Correct : losses build up faster than wins. Natural for the beast. Let's not say, "Oh well, it's all luck." Gambling should be clever, not reckless. Limit yourself, learn the game, and manage your finances. The key is wisdom, not luck. Wisdom, friend, is knowing that gambling should be fun, not bad for your money account

Gambling for fun is safer for the mind than gambling for financial gain.
Who can guarantee that you can win every day at the gambling table? Of course there isn't, it's all just assumptions of victory which in the end makes you confused because you never win.
If you position it as a pleasure, that's good, it won't disrupt your daily financial stability. If you have spent all your money, it is no longer considered pleasure but is already in the addiction stage.
It's better to forget the concept of gambling for financial gain rather than being destroyed because of difficulties in controlling yourself, because many people have been destroyed because they couldn't control themselves at the gambling table.

This is all about what we want, we can choose to be gambling for making money and having fun altogether, we can choose either of the two instead base on what we have chosen as our choice in gambling, but in whatever decision we arrived on, we should never forget that it is expected of us to always have fun while gambling and that we cannot make gambling as our ultimate source of income which we can rely on because we often loose than winning each time we are having fun in gambling.

It is optional to take gambling as fun but a gambler always expects to win from gambling. No gambler wants to lose money by losing gambling games. Ask any gambler who gambles why they gamble and I think most gamblers will answer that they gamble to win and earn money by winning.

I am with Litzki1990 on this. When you start betting and what drives you to continue is the possibility of winning money. Nobody starts betting by saying 'I'm going to be entertained' as if they were going to watch a movie. It is precisely the possibility of winning money that motivates and entertains you. What also happens is that humans generally tend to overestimate possible short-term benefits and underestimate the long-term dangers. So many people, even though they know about the house edge for example, only think about whether they are going to get lucky that night and make money, although deep inside they know that in the long run the house edge is going to lose them money.

When I gambled for the first time, no money were involved. I think after watching a movie with my father, we have played cards, he explained me rules of poker. We have played just for fun. The winner wins nothing, looser looses nothing. When I gambled first time consciously I made it for fun. Because everyone in our company inserted banknote into a slot machine. First IRL gambling game when I no longer a kid or teenager (I was 18) - game of poker with friends. Call it Friday poker night. Even though there were buy-ins, no one intended to win whole bank. It was all about fun.

Indeed, gambling is a game of chance, whoever is lucky will win, while those who are unlucky will suffer a mistake, also the fact is that luck does not come often, luck only comes occasionally.

Slot gambling cannot be predicted, even if there are tricks or patterns, in my opinion it has no effect on the slot games being played, also with the large number of people who gamble for financial needs, this is not highly recommended, because gambling is not a clear source of money, but rather this only paid games and there will be bonuses that can be obtained if you are lucky. It's true, being too ambitious about winning will only make us experience a lot of losses, because gambling with emotions is of course not a good thing. and it is also not recommended to gamble by forcing it, if you don't have a stable income then you should not force yourself to continue gambling.

Regardless of gambling for entertainment, don't gamble out of control as gambling for entertainment is also dangerous. When you're gambling for entertainment and you become addicted, you can gamble for many hours without realising that you have been gambling for that long and also losing money. You won't care as you're not gambling to make money therefore when you lose money, it won't bother you as you have many more that you can waste on gambling.

Every gambler should know their limits regardless of what the reason is why they're gambling. When you're gambling for entertainment, know when to stop as entertainment doesn't have an ending unless it's when you become bored but it might make you to increase you wiser for higher risk and you keep losing more money that'll make you to go broke. Gambling for entertainment is also risky when addicted.

When I gambled for the first time, no money were involved. I think after watching a movie with my father, we have played cards, he explained me rules of poker. We have played just for fun. The winner wins nothing, looser looses nothing. When I gambled first time consciously I made it for fun. Because everyone in our company inserted banknote into a slot machine. First IRL gambling game when I no longer a kid or teenager (I was 18) - game of poker with friends. Call it Friday poker night. Even though there were buy-ins, no one intended to win whole bank. It was all about fun.
+1
It is like this, although there is money involved, it is difficult to understand for some, and they believe that no one can get together to play with friends with money involved in a night of chatting, beers (or soft drinks) and some bets, if some arrive $$$, so cool, but the idea is not to go fleece your friends.

Now, the above does not have to take you away from that desire to make money.,  in my case I can easily move between those two slopes.

Then, it depends on the moment or the situation you find yourself in, I think that if you can't differentiate that, you are a candidate for being a gambling addict.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?

I'm going to give you my personal opinion because I can based my answer on general opinion and also on individual opinion. The gambling company existed today because they want to make money, they temp you to make predictions and if it comes, you will make money but you have to do it in a way you don't financially go broke. So I will say that involves both fun and making of money, that's why you see often they say you should gamble responsibly because there is money in it and you may go blind if you aren't careful.

What I can put to remove fun when I bet amount that is too big for me, amount that will rake me and give me anxiety for days, week or even months, that's what I consider as out fun limit and that's why I said gambling should be done responsibly so you don't have to weep later for making decisions that are not worth the amount you bet.

Gambling for fun is safer for the mind than gambling for financial gain.
Who can guarantee that you can win every day at the gambling table? Of course there isn't, it's all just assumptions of victory which in the end makes you confused because you never win.

Regardless of gambling for entertainment, don't gamble out of control as gambling for entertainment is also dangerous. When you're gambling for entertainment and you become addicted, you can gamble for many hours without realising that you have been gambling for that long and also losing money. You won't care as you're not gambling to make money therefore when you lose money, it won't bother you as you have many more that you can waste on gambling.

Every gambler should know their limits regardless of what the reason is why they're gambling. When you're gambling for entertainment, know when to stop as entertainment doesn't have an ending unless it's when you become bored but it might make you to increase you wiser for higher risk and you keep losing more money that'll make you to go broke. Gambling for entertainment is also risky when addicted.
It's true that gambling also has potential dangers even when it's pursued purely for entertainment. While gambling can indeed be a source of leisure, it's essential to recognize the risks associated with losing control. Gambling for entertainment is also tend to have consequence of addiction and the inadvertent loss of both time and money. When people gamble for entertainment without a clear understanding of their limits, they may find themselves engrossed in the activity for extended periods without realizing the consequences. This lack of awareness can lead to significant financial losses and, in some cases, contribute to a cycle of addiction.

The idea that losing money might not bother someone gambling for entertainment because they have more to spare highlights the potential for financial recklessness. Over time, this lack of concern for losses can lead to financial instability and, ultimately, significant negative impacts on one's well-being. knowing when to stop, regardless of the reason for gambling, is crucial. Setting limits and recognizing when entertainment turns into a potential problem is a responsible approach.

If our predictions are correct, it is fun and makes us happy. But there are times when we will lose because our predictions are wrong in estimating the team that has the chance to win, which may have happened many times before. Having money used to place bets is what makes gambling more fun, especially when we win. But when we lose, we will not feel happy and will be sad and disappointed because we lost. But we still place bets on other matches because we know we can win in other matches. But we should not consider gambling as the main source of income, especially if we do not have good analytical skills. It's better to use it as a means to have fun.

We know, we also say that gambling is only for fun it's right. But in the end most of the gamblers I assume they do gamble for financial benefits. Once someone gambles for financial benefits and depends on gambling win/lose to livelihood means he is gambling-addicted.
I can't truly just accept the fact that gambling is actually for fun, we lose our money when gambling so meaning we just enjoy wasting our money even if we have nothing to do with it. On the other hand, anyone who actually does it as a means of earning financially to be able to meet up with cost of living is actually becoming an addict.
Gambling is more like investing in some Altcoins, if it happens to give profits fine and if it doesn't also good but we don't also say we rely on our Altcoins investment to carryout expenses on our cost of living.

Gambling is never for fun only no matter where the money comes from.I know of many people who say they gamble for fun but deep down that is a lie which I also say to myself to continue gambling.If all people who said they are gambling for fun they would be using the play for fun feature and not with real money,so let's not lie to ourselves,we only play to win more money.

Gambling is not entirely for fun, but there is fun in gambling, especially skill-based gambling like poker. Playing poker is fun for people who know how to enjoy it. I dont think it's right to say "losing money" for something fun, I prefer to say "using money" because I gain fun with that money. The enjoyment and entertainment derived from gambling can justify the monetary investment.

Almost every activity needs money to use, whether it's for the needs or it's for fun. Spending money on activities we find enjoyable is a common aspect of how we allocate our resources to enhance our overall well-being. By recognizing the element of fun in skill-based gambling and framing the financial aspect as an investment in enjoyable experiences, this contributes to a more balanced understanding of the motivations behind engaging in such activities. It acknowledges the subjective nature of the experience and the various reasons people may choose to participate in gambling beyond purely financial considerations.

Not just memecoins alone, I did say some due to how new Altcoins in general are coming into the market daily and it turns out that majority of them ends up as scam and there investors lose their money. If I invest in any new Altcoins now I do not get too much confidence on getting back profits as this is what the market has become, Devs and team often rugs the project.

In a state where I'm not certain of getting back.what I invested then means I just gambled out my money, either a win (return of profit) or loss.

I have read a lot of thread on this board talking about the need to gamble responsibly and suggesting that gambling is meant to be done for fun and not to be seen as a means of livelihood. While this is theoretically alright, in the reality so many persons actually gamble because they want to get some financial top up from the gamble.

What is mostly common in my neighborhood and that I mostly do is soccer betting and if I am not exaggerating, 90% of the people that do soccer betting do do because they want to win money.

They can watch the match for fun but as long as it involved them paying money before gambling, most persons don't normally see it as fun and this is the reason why after placing a particular bet, if the game isn't successful they continue betting hoping to get a win along the way thervy being seen as addict.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?

Normally Gambling is a game of Fun.
Once it turns to another dimension whereby money is involved it becomes pleasure.and this comes about when one is so addicted to this fun game and wants to explore and make out from it.

For some person they see it as a means of aiding their financial needs, because as they get their proceeds doubled by what they have,which inculcate in them that they can make it daily at anytime but they are forgetting that it will later on turnbout to be something disastrous when they start doing things and taking risk to meet up their finance.

Do you know that you can gamble without money? You can gamble and the winner will get 1 wish fulfilled. You can gamble with someone you are really close friends, a make symbolic bets, just to make it more real, more adult like. There is no obligatory that money must be involved while playing. I will give other example - working for free. Although every labor must be rewarded, but there are moment in life when you do something free of charge. Like helping friends. Will you charge them for your help?

Indeed, gambling should be a fun activity because we play gambling games in our free time and do not have any goal other than to have fun. But many people abuse gambling as a way to make money, especially as they see on many sites some people can win a lot of money from gambling. That's where the interest arises in trying it, and when they try it, they find that it is not easy to win the gambling game, making them even more curious to try it until they win.

But even when they win, they don't immediately stop gambling. They even want to win bigger money, so they continue gambling. They think that if they can continue gambling and win bigger, they can earn bigger income and use it to meet their daily needs. But such thinking is wrong because they will find it difficult to get bigger wins. After all, gambling is not a way to make money.

Not everyone has the same objective in opi gambling, every gambler has different objectives in gambling. Some people gamble to make money while others gamble for fun and enjoyment. But in my opinion it is better not to gamble to earn money. This is because the number of losses is high in gambling where the tendency to lose is more than to earn. As a result, some people are more vulnerable to top up their finances from gambling. Gambling for financial gain can never be fun. Gambling to make money is more likely to lead to gambling addiction. So in my opinion it is better to gamble for fun than to gamble for money.
We should take gambling as a partime rather than a career. If a person starts gambling to earn money from gambling, it is not right because gambling can never help to earn enough money to run a family. There are some people I think they are big fools thinking of running a family by gambling money. Gambling will sometimes result in loss and sometimes gain. No one can understand when it will be profit and when it will be loss and no one can guarantee it.

Investment in altcoins and investment in gambling is totally a different thing. Rather there is no investment in gambling, it is just that you gamble with your money and you win or lose instantly. You can't do any planning or apply any strategy in gambling that makes you win in gambling.
Only there is money management which is not directly linked with the gambling results but it only makes the gambling loss to some extent minimal as you are not putting too much money in each bet and game you play.

In altcoin investment, you have the option to analysis the coin. You do both fundamental and technical analysis and then buy the coin. Even after this analysis, if the coin that you bought dumps in price, you have the option to hold it for some time until it recovers. This holds true for the meme coins too.
This is totally different from gambling, where the results are instant and based upon luck only.

When they gamble, it means they want to win, winning is the most important thing on every gambler's mind.

If you think about it, there are many other things you can do to get pleasure, some of which don't require money and are not as risky as gambling, because gambling is something that carries a big risk if it is done improperly or excessively. However, if someone experiences problems with their finances and takes steps to gamble, it is wrong, because gambling does not guarantee that they can solve their financial problems.

It could either be an excuse or a genuine reason. Let me ask you this, when you gamble and win some bets, do you feel happy and enjoy the game? That's what most gamblers seek, the excitement of every win, even though they might end up losing. It's not an excuse, but rather the fact that casinos have an advantage, and it's not easy to win against them.

I think that when a player begins to combine gambling and big money, it cannot be pleasure, it will either become work, or something dangerous, with a high risk of losing money. But gambling can always remain safe if you only play for what you can afford to lose, and if at the same time you follow risk management, then you will also have a good chance of earning something from it, if of course you have such a goal.

I strongly agree with that. Making gambling a job may become one of the worst decisions of an individual. It's not meant for that so we should use it only for entertainment purposes.
Do remember, online gambling keeps on taking back whatever we win and I think many would agree with me on this. I've seen it so many times so how the hell can we make it as a job if we cannot even make profits out of it in a consistent way?
That's in casino games but even if we focus on sports betting, there's no 100 percent accuracy on our picks there. I mean, I had been betting on sports for quite a long time now and I could say that even the heavy favorites could lose a game.
Some may suggest arbitrage gambling, but still, the profit there is way low that it could not put enough food on the table and to pay for bills. Yes, it's a profitable scheme but never meant for high profits.
There are a lot of ways to make money but I don't gambling is one of them and it was never a career. Yeah, I'd rather invest in something else than waste a lot of money and time in gambling while also jeopardizing my capital in the process. It's too risky and then there's the stressful environment when we are losing. It might affect our health too.

Nop, I never knew and may not succom to it, in what terms do we describe it as gambling.

Gambling from the definition of my browser says "the betting or staking of something of value, with consciousness of risk and hope of gain, on the outcome of a game, a contest, or an uncertain event whose result may be determined by chance or accident or have an unexpected result by reason of the bettor's miscalculation. slot machines.

The definition seems clear and when using the term gambling something of value is always at stake, what you call gambling is just an assumption from two opposing ideas.

Not really that actually a myth but rather its that on reality on which there were people who are really that doing gambling for the sake of making income or simply having that trying to make a living or surviving on day to day basis on which we know that it cant really be just that possible. Even if we do believe it or not but there are actually people who do able to make themselves profitable
but the numbers are really just that something that could be counted by your hand when it comes to gambling success stories.  This is where people would really be thriving to get a hold with
on which they are really that trying out their very best to achieve such state and this what makes them really that being dedicative at the same time they are really that desperate.

I have read a lot of thread on this board talking about the need to gamble responsibly and suggesting that gambling is meant to be done for fun and not to be seen as a means of livelihood. While this is theoretically alright, in the reality so many persons actually gamble because they want to get some financial top up from the gamble.
I'm just trying to make an estimation of the People that gamble solely for the fun and I think it doesn't even equate the number of  people that have their full interest on the winnings alone..

if there's actually a way to gamble without investing anything/ or maybe a way to invalidate the payment-on-winning option, I think that would prove better to us why people decide to invest in the first place.. meanwhile, don't always forget to recall in a hurry that GAMBLING IS A GAME OF LUCK.

We know, we also say that gambling is only for fun it's right. But in the end most of the gamblers I assume they do gamble for financial benefits. Once someone gambles for financial benefits and depends on gambling win/lose to livelihood means he is gambling-addicted.
I can't truly just accept the fact that gambling is actually for fun, we lose our money when gambling so meaning we just enjoy wasting our money even if we have nothing to do with it. On the other hand, anyone who actually does it as a means of earning financially to be able to meet up with cost of living is actually becoming an addict.
Gambling is more like investing in some Altcoins, if it happens to give profits fine and if it doesn't also good but we don't also say we rely on our Altcoins investment to carryout expenses on our cost of living.
I don't agree if gambling is equated with altcoin investment. because altcoins still have clear programs and good management. different from gambling which only relies on the luck factor.
Or is it possible that the altcoin investment you mean here is investing in memecoin?
Even if meme coins is what you are investing in, there is still every tendency that you would have profits off such investment but with gambling nothing and I mean nothing is actually save as everything is tied down to one main factor which is how lucky is the gambler. If there is anything I will associate gambling to then that it will be crypto trading because that too involves a lot of risk and I can say there is also some of atoms of luck tied to it.

It's about the risk I guess that when you investi n altcoins then you're taking risk and most likely defined as gambling by people.

if there's actually a way to gamble without investing anything/ or maybe a way to invalidate the payment-on-winning option, I think that would prove better to us why people decide to invest in the first place.. meanwhile, don't always forget to recall in a hurry that GAMBLING IS A GAME OF LUCK.
That's the definition that we hear a lot that gambling is a game of luck and even there are games that you can analyze and do a research, that's still not going to be gone as something that people have to remember that when you gamble, you're also playing with your own luck.

As you have fun, you think of the possible profit that you are about to get if lucky for that day.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?
Personally I view gambling as fun in as much as I only gamble with the amount of money I can afford to lose and as a soccer fan it makes sense to me watching the game as well as placing bet on my favorite teams that are likely going to win having  in-depth knowledge on soccer and it's bettings makes gambling on it as fun especially when I accumulated many matches with reasonable odd while staking with small amount of money, though earning money from gambling also serves as alternative source of income for me, infact I read stories of some third world countries where there is high rate of youth unemployment thus those resorted to gambling to make ends met.

Those stories of gamblers in third world countries making ends meet could be myths, as gamblers all over the world hardly make a living through the game.

Gamblers making ends meet? That's more than a myth , it's a fantasy lol. Especially in 3rd world country, gambling here is designed to take away all your money. If you have not noticed, here in PH there are tons of social media influencers and vloggers who's been advertising several online casinos. These casinos are spending huge sum of money to advertise their website, they don't care about it anyway, because again, they are designed to take away the money of their clients.
I've heard a vlogger has a contract from one of that popular online casinos for almost a million pesos or around $18k. That's just one of the hundreds of a combination of popular og small time social media personalities.

I think we all bet on many things , some out of Necessity, but I just don't recommend it, because out of necessity things can go wrong and that's Something that I don't see as Being right , for me things When they're not about to do them well, you have to see the casino and the casino Games to have fun , those who play out of necessity I think they can have bad Experiences , it is not what is recommended, in particular I will always say that things can be Done Better when there is no type of event that is just for fun, only those who are in need Run out of money and do not Recommend it , it is Something that goes against what we are generating, so because of this, I could say that when we are looking for the way to play Winning is what you Wan t, but you have to be Careful not to spend all your money.

When I Play I always get in touch With the best Possible to do Things Better , if we look for more Ways to do things better, then let's take as an example that things can be generalized towards necessity , but it is not the idea , the one who plays Out of Necessity he is at Constant risk of losing everything, the game is not a sure way forward, that is how it should be seen.

When you talk about Altcoins, usually Bitcoin excluded and other included. The instability of most altcoins especially memecoins can be likened to gambling except you are a short term investor who takes profit in a very short period of time because these meme coins generate profit almost immediately and does same with losses

Except for a few most altcoins project are not firm enough to invest your full trust in them because they will at some point not move the way you may expected it. The instability associated with a few altcoins is the reason it's likened to gambling because some of the projects behind omw of these coins are not solid enough and can at anytime end without prior notice and that's almost exactly how it is with gambling too it may not be really wrong to see investing in Altcoins as gambling because it's only gambling that really does shuch short time with investment and profit is seen almost immediately.

We should take gambling as a partime rather than a career. If a person starts gambling to earn money from gambling, it is not right because gambling can never help to earn enough money to run a family. There are some people I think they are big fools thinking of running a family by gambling money. Gambling will sometimes result in loss and sometimes gain. No one can understand when it will be profit and when it will be loss and no one can guarantee it.
Even when we read the news or see someone who becomes rich from gambling it's not because he makes gambling as his job but it's just a coincidence and he has a job that can fund his gambling so he can end up winning a big prize or something else.
Gamblers will only be able to get rich from gambling or make it a job when they are a casino owner or a streamer because they can make money, but as a regular gambler and making it their main income seems impossible because there is no guaranteed win in gambling even when you bet at odds of 1.01 the chance of losing is still there, so only people who don't understand how gambling works or who are too tempted by posts of gamblers who make big profits will think about making gambling a job and income.
And I always consider gambling only as fun if I can get benefits because winning big enough is only a rare event because everything will be proportional to what we dare to bet because it is impossible with just $10 and betting $ 0.1 and then you can get hundreds of thousands of dollars because more casinos will go bankrupt than new ones.

While this is theoretically alright, in the reality so many persons actually gamble because they want to get some financial top up from the gamble.

What is mostly common in my neighborhood and that I mostly do is soccer betting and if I am not exaggerating, 90% of the people that do soccer betting do do because they want to win money.

They can watch the match for fun but as long as it involved them paying money before gambling, most persons don't normally see it as fun and this is the reason why after placing a particular bet, if the game isn't successful they continue betting hoping to get a win along the way thervy being seen as addict.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

          -   As for me, when I play gambling, it's really just for fun and for no other reason. Even though I deposit money, it's fine because I control the limit of the money I enter a casino with. This is the only beauty of what I do because I am used to this habit. And she's actually pretty.

Now, I can't deny that sometimes I also win, and when I win at least $20 or more, apart from the amount of money I play in the casino, I stop, and it's that simple. I'm doing.

You are treating gambling only as fun which could not divert you. But among the gamblers there are some gamblers who are fans at the beginning but after a while they find opportunities to earn money from gambling. They are highly motivated in their efforts to increase their income from gambling. Although some think that all gamblers gamble to win, there is no way to get entertainment from gambling without spending money. Having money can make fun out of gambling. I think money is the most important thing in this platform. Gambling is enjoyed by those who take gambling as fun by spending money.

Altcoin investment and gambling are two different things but they're just too similar in comparison, note not all altcoins but if you're talking about newly tokens or project, investors who invest in those tokens don't know what the end result will look like likewise gambling cause when we place a bet we don't have the full assurance of winning the game.
A lot of investors view altcoin investment as gambling cause the act most investors carry out with some random coins shows that they invest and when the time comes they sell for profit, just like something you invest in for a little time and expect your money to double during that period of time. This act makes people to call Altcoin investment as gambling act.

I think what that means is that altcoins performance is not predetermined maybe like bitcoin that is expected to rise anytime halving is around and the rise of altcoins has to follow suit if at all because some are shit coins so it is that rate of shitcoins that gambling is compared with altcoins. Memecoins are not to be relied on actually like gambling is not to be relied on so when investing on it you have to take the risk you can bear and gamble as you can bear also.

Gambling for fun and having control is a way to feel the beauty of gambling. If gambling is for fun then it will be difficult to run into gambling-related troubles as is the case for most gamblers who have continually gambled to make money. This hope stems from the fact that people are making money from it and they believe in the fantasy without understanding that though gambling will not kill you, if you lack control you will end up killing yourself.

So, it is important to have control regardless of your reason to gamble. Even if you gamble for fun you still need control in order not to be carried away because of so much pleasure and then gamble above limit. This is important because whether we gamble for fun or for money, we are making a stake and we are losing the stake. Thus, gamblers should be guided.

For me the estimation is around 100% of people that gamble have a full interest on winnings alone, I mean despite all the pretentious saying that it's for fun, I don't believe that anyone's gambling solely for fun even if they say so, the allure of money is just too strong that we should ignore it anyway but I wouldn't say that they're all for profit but that's different when it comes to wins, that's your goal when you gamble after all, to win and take home the prize money that so many coveted.

What you ask people that alway lament that gambling is for fun is that if gambling is for fun why do they get pist off whenever they lose gambling, secondly why do they always complain whenever they lose money in gambling, so it's good for someone to know and also understand that gambling the interest of anyone who comes to gambling is money and they ate desperate to win in gambling is not as if they are gambling because of fun, nobody that have money and try to waste it, if you want to waste your money and same time catch fun you can go to a street and share the money you waste in gambling and also catch fun with street people.

Because that's how they actually work to gamble and win no people would like to lose since its pissed them off especially if they are having a bad day. This is why I sometimes think about why does people say they gamble just for fun while actually I don't find it entertaining nor funny when we encounter those heavy losing streak. We could flip out our keyboard if that scenario came out of frustration for what we are experiencing at the moment.

Maybe there are some small number of people here really gamble just to have fun since they find a great community where they always feel entertained while playing that's why we can see a lot of people saying that they gamble just to have fun and we can see if they are sincere thru the words they have posted especially if they don't really care about the result and post the experience they usually encounter on the casino.

you are really just that putting yourself into possible addiction on which this is something that isnt really that recommended at all. Gambling should really be that for fun and not for making money.

gambling for fun, if you think about it, it seems like there are many other things that are just as fun but without having to spend money and don't have big risks like gambling Even though it's everyone's choice, yes, there are people who gamble with the aim of having fun I don't know what the fun is,  but what is certain is that the fun is in the winnings they get from gambling, but the other side of gambling is only a possibility The amount refers to the loss, so it is impossible for them to be happy when they lose at gambling.

gambling for financial gain, in my opinion this should not be done, because gambling itself will not always bring profitable winnings and therefore profits will not always be obtained consistently,  because in gambling there is such a thing as a host, well while the host has The advantage of always getting a win cannot be avoided or eliminated, so if we are only player-based, in my opinion we won't be able to get stable profits.
Because gambling does not provide permanent profits, people think of gambling as something to have fun and of course people who think like that are because they are not addicted and are better able to control the gambling they do. Indeed, there are many other things that can bring pleasure to people without having to spend money and gambling is not the only one that we know, no one likes losing money, including when they gamble or appear in any activity.

Everyone considers gambling to be luck and there is no way to make consistent profits, so any decision you make to gamble should be much more responsible. The aim is for someone to be more open in facing the risks generated by gambling itself because gambling is actually an activity or activities that can destroy everything if you are not responsible.

and if something bad happens to an irresponsible gambler, who does the gambler or the gambling site blame?
If addiction and responsible gambling can be controlled by everyone, perhaps not many gamblers end up getting worse due to irresponsible gambling activities.
most gamblers will probably have fun when they win at gambling. but on the contrary, more gamblers will not feel satisfied when they are losing. maybe we should be realistic, more gamblers don't think gambling games are not just for fun. most are oriented towards making a profit from gambling.

Some people can use gambling as a way to have fun and enjoy their free time and will immediately stop their gambling activities when their time is almost up. They will not continue their gambling activities because they still have other things to do, and they realize that they only need to use gambling as a way to get pleasure. They will not be tempted by gambling, causing them to continue gambling, especially just to chase wins. They know that if they continue gambling, they will only experience bigger losses than they imagined, so they will always try to prevent that from happening.

But for a gambler to become responsible, they need to be destroyed first. What I mean is, mentally.

Under any circumstances, if a gambler suffers the worst defeat and huge losses in their gambling activity, the challenge to get back to their usual mentality will be hard. If that gambler were able to survive all the problems, difficulties, and challenges, that would make them a responsible gambler the next time they will push again to attempt a big win doing gambling.

Gambling is never for fun only no matter where the money comes from.I know of many people who say they gamble for fun but deep down that is a lie which I also say to myself to continue gambling.If all people who said they are gambling for fun they would be using the play for fun feature and not with real money,so let's not lie to ourselves,we only play to win more money.

I agree with that, maybe it's just an alibi, because when they gamble it means that what they really want is a win that can be obtained because in my opinion that is a value that can make us happy, because it's impossible for them to lose but they are happy, that's really not makes sense, except with responsible gambling it makes sense. When they gamble, it means they want to win, winning is the most important thing on every gambler's mind.

If you think about it, there are many other things you can do to get pleasure, some of which don't require money and are not as risky as gambling, because gambling is something that carries a big risk if it is done improperly or excessively. However, if someone experiences problems with their finances and takes steps to gamble, it is wrong, because gambling does not guarantee that they can solve their financial problems.
It could either be an excuse or a genuine reason. Let me ask you this, when you gamble and win some bets, do you feel happy and enjoy the game? That's what most gamblers seek, the excitement of every win, even though they might end up losing. It's not an excuse, but rather the fact that casinos have an advantage, and it's not easy to win against them.

I think all gamblers will feel pleasure when they win, because that is what they are looking for, it is impossible for anyone to gamble with the aim of losing or wanting their money to be lost, of course they definitely want to win and with that win they will feel a sensation of pleasure. there is no joy behind losing at gambling. Also I think winning is the main point that every gambler is looking for, even though they gamble for fun that doesn't mean they don't want to win, of course they also definitely want the wins that can be obtained in gambling.

The fact about casinos having an advantage is true, because they also carry out gambling with the aim of generating profits from many people. So they won't just give a win to all gamblers, it feels like they will only get lots of losses and not wins, because the chance of winning is slimmer than losing. that's what they have to remember.

It depends on how you accept and use gambling. Gambling is used by many as a source of income and they feel that it will give them financial benefits and grow financially. Others use gambling only for fun. I am more in favor of using it as fun because it gives you control over yourself and makes gambling enjoyable and avoids major losses.

If that gambler were able to survive all the problems, difficulties, and challenges, that would make them a responsible gambler the next time they will push again to attempt a big win doing gambling.

Yeah, I think that's how it works. To learn how to gamble responsibly a person must lose several times a fairly large amount of money. Only this will allow you to stop, think, analyze your actions and begin to use risk management, deposit limitation and other useful techniques that will not only not lose large amounts of money, but also not to become a gambling addict.

The aim is for someone to be more open in facing the risks generated by gambling itself because gambling is actually an activity or activities that can destroy everything if you are not responsible.

If indeed they initially came and got involved in gambling with a wrong understanding of what gambling really is especially for some people who are too focused on winning and who make the chances of winning the reason for coming then yes maybe I would agree with this idea, by experiencing various bad events that can have a significant impact on their lives such as losing a lot of money in gambling which indirectly makes it difficult for them to run their lives then maybe this can change their mindset and point of view on gambling because there is something like a sense of trauma that can be the basis for someone to make changes, I believe that because in real life someone must first make a mistake to finally know or find the right path until finally a change occurs. By experiencing something like this maybe yes they can gamble with a more advisable approach, but it is also possible for them to eventually stop and that's good, but on the other hand I wouldn't rule out the other possibility that they could also end up stressed or crazy because of something like that. ;D

I have read a lot of thread on this board talking about the need to gamble responsibly and suggesting that gambling is meant to be done for fun and not to be seen as a means of livelihood. While this is theoretically alright, in the reality so many persons actually gamble because they want to get some financial top up from the gamble.

What is mostly common in my neighborhood and that I mostly do is soccer betting and if I am not exaggerating, 90% of the people that do soccer betting do do because they want to win money.

They can watch the match for fun but as long as it involved them paying money before gambling, most persons don't normally see it as fun and this is the reason why after placing a particular bet, if the game isn't successful they continue betting hoping to get a win along the way thervy being seen as addict.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?

It really depends on the amount of money you are gambling with.
If the amount is ridiculously low then all you have to do is enjoy the game and if you win you get a nice little reward.
That is how you have fun while gambling but for most people greed takes over and then they start betting heavy.

If our predictions are correct, it is fun and makes us happy. But there are times when we will lose because our predictions are wrong in estimating the team that has the chance to win, which may have happened many times before. Having money used to place bets is what makes gambling more fun, especially when we win. But when we lose, we will not feel happy and will be sad and disappointed because we lost. But we still place bets on other matches because we know we can win in other matches. But we should not consider gambling as the main source of income, especially if we do not have good analytical skills. It's better to use it as a means to have fun.

Ahhhh yes when we do gamble and our predictions are correct it is fun and makes us happy, but when you win the greed is there waiting for you to grab the feel.
Besides that for me when we gamble Win is just a bonus and if we set up our budget for playing games like this gambling with real-life money win or loss is still in the line. Yes loss makes us feel sad at then of they day but if we only do gamble for fun and still in a budget loss or win we might still find the fun in a game.

Yes it's true that gambling show be done for fun and not to be seen as a means of financial benefits, but do you know that if you remove the finance benefits out of gambling, like 70% of gamblers will stop gambling because since they are losing money on it, they  would want win money if it goes their way, and secondly, in my locality, almost everyone that gambles do it with the hope of winning one day, which leads to addiction of many of them, but that monetary reward is the motivating factor that compell them to even gambles, the only problem most gamblers are facing is that they mostly gambles what they can't afford to lose, which always put them in a difficult situation at the very end of it all.

That is the problem because at the moment we win, instead of having a break we gamble more which turns our winning to nothing but a losing end.
And I could really feel this thing because I was in that situation until I controlled myself from greediness and thought that luck doesn't come always and you are right, it was just a bonus.

Gambling responsibly is the best thing to do. It was admitted that was hard to follow but if we are into the determination to do it, it can be possible. It takes time to develop, from practice to habitual.

That's how it should be since losing is inevitable. Therefore we must be prepared for this kind of scenario. If a gambler can't handle such situation because of the high hopes to double his wager, then his main desire is not to really have fun but to gain. It's a human nature to feel sad when we experience to lose but it's already a given situation that we should keep in mind before playing. Thus if you can't bear losing your money in gambling then don't force yourself to play to avoid having gambling problems.

Yes, winning can give us happiness, especially if the win is big. We want to get another big win and because of that, we will be lured back into continuing gambling even though we might not get as lucky as before. We will become greedy because we want an even bigger win so we are willing to sacrifice the winnings we have earned to get another big win. And at that moment, we will see that the big win will not always come after we win because it will also depend on our luck. If we are lucky, we can get that big win, but if not, we will only lose money, which could even take away all the money we have won. That's why we must be wise and know what we must do after winning. And it's better for us to immediately end the gambling game after getting a big win to enjoy the winnings and celebrate with our friends or family.

and if something bad happens to an irresponsible gambler, who does the gambler or the gambling site blame?
If addiction and responsible gambling can be controlled by everyone, perhaps not many gamblers end up getting worse due to irresponsible gambling activities.
most gamblers will probably have fun when they win at gambling. but on the contrary, more gamblers will not feel satisfied when they are losing. maybe we should be realistic, more gamblers don't think gambling games are not just for fun. most are oriented towards making a profit from gambling.
No one is to blame because gambling is done through their own responsibility and even if they have to be blamed, they themselves are the most responsible. Not everyone is able to be responsible for the gambling activities they carry out because the more addicted someone is to gambling, the greater the chance of losing a lot of money. This is a common occurrence because when they win a match they will have fun and when they lose they will definitely feel dissatisfied.

Of course there are many people who consider gambling as a means to make money even though there is uncertainty in it, but the fact is that almost most addicted gamblers think about making a profit from the gambling they do. So they are willing to sell anything to gamble and in the end they realize have to lose a lot of things.

If we bet on two matches with high odds, we probably won't win. But we will have 100% fun watching the match we bet on. That's why my priority is always to have fun. Of course, I also want to make money. And that's why I try to make the most accurate prediction. But I know I can't always win money. Because betting is a business of luck.

sometimes a gambler has the intention to gamble to try his luck by having fun, but when he is lucky, gambler should stop betting and withdraw his winnings and enjoy the results of that luck, but for some reason, to this day, I still find it difficult to commit when I get a small win, I can't immediately stop gambling but have the desire to bet again for at least 5 or 10 more rounds.

therefore, most people often say that winning is the beginning of greed and greed is the beginning of addiction because it is a fact that we have to know that when we win big, we have to force ourselves to really stop gambling and we also have to force ourselves to end the session our bet.
this way is to avoid the regret of losing our winnings again when the initial plan was to gamble to have fun but in the end it ended in a bad way.

That's true, gambling should be made for fun as priority for everyone and if the opportunity set in for making money then one should take advantage in such but insisting on making a particular decision for making profits while gambling will not work out as expected than giving us disappointment on each other  because gambling is not a means of financial income, but we have have such as an added advantage upon each time we are gambling

When someone wins, he will slowly become greedy and lose control of himself, making it difficult to tell himself that he has had enough gambling. At that time, he will feel that he still has a little time that can be used to place bets or continue gambling. But in reality, he can actually continue gambling when his time is up and that has often happened to us. That's why we have to be committed to being able to say that we've had enough gambling and we have to leave the casino immediately so that we won't be tempted to continue gambling. This requires continuous practice to restrain ourselves from continuing to gamble, especially in the casino. We will see more promotions that can tempt us to try it.

Most people who cannot stop themselves from continuing their gambling games will fall deeper into gambling. They will not be able to see that time is running out, or they have had enough gambling, or their money has run out. They just see they still have that chance to win one more round. And if that happens continuously without awareness to stop gambling, we will only become addicted to gambling without realizing it. We must indeed be able to force ourselves to immediately stop gambling because we will not have a big chance of winning the gambling game.

Simply put, your cycle is a dangerous slope. Winning distorts judgment and blinds us to reality. This lack of self-control turns a hobby into a trap. We must spot the indications early on. It's about smart, responsible gambling, not denying oneself the pleasure

Yes, self-control must be practiced. Knowing why you're declaring "I've had enough" is crucial. The house always wins. Our odds are mathematically against us. Just knowing this should keep us from addiction. Support healthy gambling? Absolutely. It involves setting limits, following them, and never using gambling as a source of revenue. Entertainment, so go when it stops being fun

Even how you would really be experiencing those loses and on the time that you would be having that one time big win, then those disappointment and anger would be wiped away on which this would be causing for you to play up even more because you've seen that there's a glimpse of hope that you could really be able win up even more or simply those false hopes. This is why gambling industry is really that profitable
because people would really be having this kind of boost up when it comes into their emotions on the time that they would really be dealing up with gambling. We do know that this cycle never
ends and as long these platforms dont ceease to exist then there would really be always those people who would really be playing up no matter what.

Playing for fun? It should be but playing for money? this would really be the most common reason on why people do pushes up themselves into the limits.
This is why they do really end up on disaster because they do really make themselves that having those wrong impression towards it.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?

Every gambler would like to win such a big jackpot that will provide us financially for the rest of our lives, but that does not mean that we should risk everything we have to achieve it. But we need to be realistic, something like that doesn't happen so often and it doesn't happen to everyone. So we need to gamble for fun & entertainment, and if we win some nice amount of money that is just a bonus, but if we lose some money we will not lose our minds. In the end, it's nice to have some positive expectations when we decide to gamble, but we need to know it's gambling after all, so keep your mind on the game and try to be realistic. Don't expect a financial end if you chase x2-x3 with some small bets on crash or dice game. ;)

It's individual how much money can someone spend on gambling... some people can spend less and some more money, it's not that important! What's important is that you play with the amount you feel comfortable with, the money you can afford to lose.

You'll eventually get lucky if you don't stop gambling. It's okay to lose as long as you can easily move on everytime you lose. it's the size of bet that matters regardless of the kind of games you are playing. When you think you are gambling for fun, mean it, never be ambitious of huge win that you tink you already figure out using your knowledge or skills as most of the time it's juts a false assumption, especially if we are talking about games that are purely based on luck.

It's individual how much money can someone spend on gambling... some people can spend less and some more money, it's not that important! What's important is that you play with the amount you feel comfortable with, the money you can afford to lose.
We have different allocation in gambling as it's based on how much our income is. As a rule of a thumb, never spend a huge percentage of your income as that is too risky, maybe 5% is acceptable, but still depending on how much you are making. If you make $1 million per month, I think $50k for gamble is still too much, you aren't doing it based on purpose to make big money as you are making good money in a monthly basis with a $1m per month.

The main factor in gambling is seeking financial gain. The aim is to have fun. In my opinion, in the hearts of those who gamble with that aim, they also want profitable wins. and indeed winning at gambling should be considered a bonus if they gamble with the aim of having fun, but in reality I think more people gamble with the aim of winning, because that is the main thing every gambler is looking for.

In my opinion, the joy in gambling is in winning, not in losing, if we win then we will get pleasure, and what I want to ask is,  where is the joy of gambling if not in winning?
Is there anything else that can make us happy apart from winning in gambling wins, because as far as I know many people who gamble are happy when they win. gambling for fun is that just an alibi?

I perfectly understand what you just said and the motives behind your reason to gamble both for fun and make money but I think there's something I need to add here.
Gambling for fun have a total effect to a gambler than the effects of people that gamble for financial benefits. For you, it's okay to gamble for both but when you gamble solely because of the fun of it, you're very likely to get more winnings than someone who's gambling just for the financial benefits. Gambling because of the financial benefits that comes with gambling makes a gambler to be prone to gambling addiction since most of his gambling activities is targeted at making money. So with these my humble opinions, I'll always advice anyone who wants to gamble to do that because of the fun in gambling

I perfectly understand what you just said and the motives behind your reason to gamble both for fun and make money but I think there's something I need to add here.
Gambling for fun have a total effect to a gambler than the effects of people that gamble for financial benefits. For you, it's okay to gamble for both but when you gamble solely because of the fun of it, you're very likely to get more winnings than someone who's gambling just for the financial benefits. Gambling because of the financial benefits that comes with gambling makes a gambler to be prone to gambling addiction since most of his gambling activities is targeted at making money. So with these my humble opinions, I'll always advice anyone who wants to gamble to do that because of the fun in gambling

If gambler is playing for fun then one thing they can assure once they loss then it's okay for them cause they don't aim for the win al they want is fun so there's no serious about losing. While those gamblers aim for profit then once they lose they will make a way to get that losses and aim for another win. And also the gambler will become greedy and don't stop playing even though their money is enough for their needs but still they will get some of it and play for their wants without knowing that they will loss a lot of money.

Even how you would really be experiencing those loses and on the time that you would be having that one time big win, then those disappointment and anger would be wiped away on which this would be causing for you to play up even more because you've seen that there's a glimpse of hope that you could really be able win up even more or simply those false hopes. This is why gambling industry is really that profitable
because people would really be having this kind of boost up when it comes into their emotions on the time that they would really be dealing up with gambling. We do know that this cycle never
ends and as long these platforms dont ceease to exist then there would really be always those people who would really be playing up no matter what.

Playing for fun? It should be but playing for money? this would really be the most common reason on why people do pushes up themselves into the limits.
This is why they do really end up on disaster because they do really make themselves that having those wrong impression towards it.
To avoid expectation, optimism must not become expectation. The art of gambling for fun is balancing hope with greed.

I think gambling is like eating the best delicacies. First bites are reckless, then more aware of the excess. While frequent, playing for money doesnt have to be depressing. Like enjoying a dessert without ruining it, moderation is key. A delicate dance, right? Wins and losses teach when to move ahead and when to retreat.

I support responsible, entertaining gambling. Understand the odds, recognize the entertainment value, and always play within your means. The game should be about the pleasure, not the money. Gambling is still pure enjoyment in this way. Keep the enjoyment going by celebrating triumphs, learning from setbacks, and enjoying the game for its own sake. Why not play games responsibly and joyfully? Life is too short.

I gamble both for fun and to make money, but my priority is always to have fun. Because the chances of getting rich gambling are very low. But the chances of having fun gambling are very high. If we bet on two matches with high odds, we probably won't win. But we will have 100% fun watching the match we bet on. That's why my priority is always to have fun. Of course, I also want to make money. And that's why I try to make the most accurate prediction. But I know I can't always win money. Because betting is a business of luck.
yes, it is like saying that winning is a bonus after we get pleasure from gambling, winning and losing gambling is not a priority for most people who seek pleasure from gambling, but it also does not deny that many people also seek financial gain from gambling, who seek financial There is much more to gambling than gambling, and yes, that is a fact that we cannot avoid if we look at it as a whole. Maybe you and I are one of those people who seek pleasure from gambling, especially when we watch a football match where there is a team we like, it will be much more fun in my opinion.

The main factor in gambling is seeking financial gain. The aim is to have fun. In my opinion, in the hearts of those who gamble with that aim, they also want profitable wins. and indeed winning at gambling should be considered a bonus if they gamble with the aim of having fun, but in reality I think more people gamble with the aim of winning, because that is the main thing every gambler is looking for.

In my opinion, the joy in gambling is in winning, not in losing, if we win then we will get pleasure, and what I want to ask is,  where is the joy of gambling if not in winning?
Is there anything else that can make us happy apart from winning in gambling wins, because as far as I know many people who gamble are happy when they win. gambling for fun is that just an alibi?
If you've ever felt when you lose but you still feel happy, whether it's from the games offered from the sensations given from gambling that you do and your adrenaline feels attracted to one gambling or betting and you enjoy it, have you ever felt that way? feel happier because some people think that gambling is where they relieve the stress that is wrapped in their lives. This is indeed not logically digestible because we see many facts that people who win always feel happy, but out there are also many people who feel happy and happy even though they experience defeat, who knows what is behind it someone must have a certain reason they feel happy even though they experience defeat in gambling, including me personally.

Simply put, your cycle is a dangerous slope. Winning distorts judgment and blinds us to reality. This lack of self-control turns a hobby into a trap. We must spot the indications early on. It's about smart, responsible gambling, not denying oneself the pleasure

Yes, self-control must be practiced. Knowing why you're declaring "I've had enough" is crucial. The house always wins. Our odds are mathematically against us. Just knowing this should keep us from addiction. Support healthy gambling? Absolutely. It involves setting limits, following them, and never using gambling as a source of revenue. Entertainment, so go when it stops being fun
That is why we must continuously practice self-control so that we don't fall into the trap of using gambling as a hobby and becoming a necessity for gambling. That will make us deeper into gambling and not be able to get out of gambling easily. Even though that is not our goal in gambling, we must be able to prevent that from happening to us.

However, we must be able to use gambling well and only as entertainment and not to generate gambling. That will be difficult to obtain because gambling is not the place for that, so we must be able to support healthy gambling where we will only use enough money to gamble and not expect too much to win. We just want to enjoy our free time by gambling and when the time is almost up, we can get ready to quit gambling immediately. Gambling will be something fun for us because we can use gambling as entertainment.

Even how you would really be experiencing those loses and on the time that you would be having that one time big win, then those disappointment and anger would be wiped away on which this would be causing for you to play up even more because you've seen that there's a glimpse of hope that you could really be able win up even more or simply those false hopes. This is why gambling industry is really that profitable

Playing for fun? It should be but playing for money? this would really be the most common reason on why people do pushes up themselves into the limits.
This is why they do really end up on disaster because they do really make themselves that having those wrong impression towards it.
When we get a big win, it will erase the disappointment and anger we experienced before and will be replaced with happiness because we have managed to win a lot of money. When we recalculate the number of big wins and the number of losses we get, we will likely see that the number of losses will still be greater than the number of big wins. Again, This will make us feel disappointed because we haven't won enough gambling games, so there is a desire to continue gambling until we can cover the amount we lost. But it won't be easy because we might experience more defeats. That's where we have to be able to think that gambling is not to make money or chase victory because getting a win will be difficult and will require more money, and there is no guarantee that we can win either.

Yes, we must be able to gamble to have fun in our spare time, which is a goal we must have so that we do not gamble excessively. When we use more money, that's when we must immediately realize that we have started to gamble excessively so we must immediately stop it and choose to stop gambling before the situation changes completely. We don't need to experience more defeats, especially if we have good self-control to prevent more defeats from happening.

Until then, gambling just for fun will always be something that must be done and for those who have the idea of gambling to make money, there must be an overhaul of this mindset.
Gambling just for fun will be able to provide satisfaction with all the things we achieve, we can get adrenaline and entertainment even if we experience defeat so there will be no effort in increasing the amount of betting money that could be lost altogether.
Gamblers will only be able to accept small losses and for large losses they will always make efforts to recover so that gambling within the limits of their abilities and with the aim of being means of entertainment will provide more responsible attitude.

Moreover, there will be truly very pleasant feeling if we are able to accept all defeats.
This does not mean that we do not value money but rather we are more likely to be able to maintain financial stability and avoid excessive losses.
Most gamblers will always want to win, but because in gambling winning is not an easy thing to achieve and losing is guaranteed outcome, we must have an attitude that is able to maintain and accept whatever we have.

In my opinion, winning at gambling can bring pleasure, but not losing. But what about you yourself, have you ever felt pleasure in losing? There are also quite a few people who gamble to improve their finances, but in my opinion this is certainly not true, because gambling cannot help to improve financial problems consistently.

is that true? with many people who are happy even though they experience defeat in gambling. I'm not sure myself, but even so, each individual feels this way.

Gambling is more like investing in some Altcoins, if it happens to give profits fine and if it doesn't also good but we don't also say we rely on our Altcoins investment to carryout expenses on our cost of living.
I don't agree if gambling is equated with altcoin investment. because altcoins still have clear programs and good management. different from gambling which only relies on the luck factor.
Or is it possible that the altcoin investment you mean here is investing in memecoin?

I think what that means is that altcoins performance is not predetermined maybe like bitcoin that is expected to rise anytime halving is around and the rise of altcoins has to follow suit if at all because some are shit coins so it is that rate of shitcoins that gambling is compared with altcoins. Memecoins are not to be relied on actually like gambling is not to be relied on so when investing on it you have to take the risk you can bear and gamble as you can bear also.
The point is, that everything is a gamble where you are putting your money at stake without knowing what you are doing and just hoping that your luck will favour you. So, trading is no exception if we are talking about this thing.

A person who is buying a certain cryptocurrency without having any knowledge about it or having any experience with the market is gambling with their money because they don't know what the outcome could be but they are just making a bet.

This is the only reason why trading can sometimes be compared with gambling, otherwise, trading is a completely different thing altogether.

Gambling for financial gains will be a very big mistake because there is no guarantee of getting steady income from it, and a responsible person with financial obligations can not depend on gambling profit to make ends meet. Gambling should be for fun and whatever outcome that the bet gives must be accepted, because it's based on luck. We should never rely on something that it's earnings are based on luck for our main source of income, that'll be irresponsible act.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?
any activity related to gambling must always be done for fun. earn? in the long term it is really difficult, only a few manage to be truly profitable, only under certain conditions...
I will not spend more of 5% in gambling activity. Like any other hobby it deserve a kind of limit.
I think having a business is also a type of gambling and I don't think we can be successful with it if we won't take it seriously. And even on a literal gambling in a casino, there are still games that we can be more successful if we take them more serious. The only difference of gambling in a casino from gambling by opening a business is, in gambling in a casino, we can be able to do it for fun and that it is more effective to do if we only use small amounts of money. IDK if using 5 percent in gambling is still under our range, because there is a thread here last time which states that we shouldn't use more than 1 percent of our salary in gambling.

The difference is in a bet amount. When gambler places a dollar foe example, it is about having fun. But when he places a thousand for example, it is more about getting a real financial benefit, as gambler must have had a real reason to do that. Imho both options are true. Each indicidual seaks for something particular for himself in gambling. Each gambling seasson is different and we gamble for different purposes. So there is no true or right or wrong opinion on that.

The objective of gambling is always for win no one do it for fun   but there is some entertainment and to avoid the risks and negative consequences I always stop  after some winning amount
What is important is not the amount you gamble with, it is that you understand the risks and have a playing strategy and know when to stop :)

Yes, it's true because gambling will not give us a steady income, therefore don't ever expect more when playing gambling, just enjoy the game and don't think that it can boost our economy, after all gambling was not created to make gamblers financially rich, but was created for entertainment. For rich people, it's just that people from a lower middle class economy often try their luck by gambling and eventually they get carried away and become addicted to gambling.

Rich people will definitely consider gambling as a game of entertainment and having fun, that's why it's rare for lower middle class people to have fun in gambling because they only gamble for financial gain, so different economic classes will also have different goals for gambling, but many people are wrong. understand the meaning of why gambling should be fun because what is meant is the mindset that must be changed by considering gambling as a game for entertainment so that it is not focused on financial goals which makes us increasingly out of control, if we have fun gambling we will not be too careless in playing responsibly.

That's how it should be since losing is inevitable. Therefore we must be prepared for this kind of scenario. If a gambler can't handle such situation because of the high hopes to double his wager, then his main desire is not to really have fun but to gain. It's a human nature to feel sad when we experience to lose but it's already a given situation that we should keep in mind before playing. Thus if you can't bear losing your money in gambling then don't force yourself to play to avoid having gambling problems.

Yes, winning can give us happiness, especially if the win is big. We want to get another big win and because of that, we will be lured back into continuing gambling even though we might not get as lucky as before. We will become greedy because we want an even bigger win so we are willing to sacrifice the winnings we have earned to get another big win. And at that moment, we will see that the big win will not always come after we win because it will also depend on our luck. If we are lucky, we can get that big win, but if not, we will only lose money, which could even take away all the money we have won. That's why we must be wise and know what we must do after winning. And it's better for us to immediately end the gambling game after getting a big win to enjoy the winnings and celebrate with our friends or family.

yeah that is human nature and every person has it, but what makes it different from other people is how we control it. Double wager is always a tempting after you win very big and hope that you can make double it again. and also it comes when you lose so much double wager are comes to you and hope that you are going to win this time.

Just opinion after winning big we should probably started to think about withdrawal  8)

Gambling for fun is something we can do and it should be like that to avoid problems that can arise from gambling. They don't need to think about making money from gambling because they can make money from working and that is more promising than gambling. Moreover, gambling will not guarantee that they can make money so they don't need to take bigger risks to gamble. Gambling for fun is something that can entertain them but they must be able to control themselves and not let them fall too deep into gambling just because they want to have more fun. If they exceed the limit in gambling, they not only lose their money but also have the potential to become addicted to gambling because that is a big problem that they must really avoid.

And if when playing gambling, they experience loss, they must be able to accept it because loss and win are part of gambling and will come and go. But these losses will come more often than gambling so they really have to be able to prevent more losses by immediately stopping their gambling activities. We have to maintain our expenses when playing gambling so that we don't have to run out of money when gambling. It is not worth continuing if we have already lost several times and only by stopping gambling can we prevent losing again.

yeah that is human nature and every person has it, but what makes it different from other people is how we control it. Double wager is always a tempting after you win very big and hope that you can make double it again. and also it comes when you lose so much double wager are comes to you and hope that you are going to win this time.

Just opinion after winning big we should probably started to think about withdrawal  8)
Indeed, it is human nature, but we can prevent it from becoming big by having good self-control. For this reason, we have to continuously practice it so that we are not easily tempted by what we see. Double betting is tempting because we can win a lot of money, but we also have to be aware of the risk of losing the money we can get so we will be careful in placing that bet. We also can't always win from gambling because defeat will come more often than we imagine.

Yes, we should indeed withdraw the winning money after we win to enjoy the winning money. Many gamblers forget to do this and instead continue gambling, but unfortunately, they lose, so all their money is gone.

For financial benefits I choose to learn crypto trading, Bitcoin holding and crypto mining, these are my field of source of income online, I don't do anything else online than this, and offline I run a business too, I believe these are more than enough for me, now someone like me can't start gambling looking forward to make big money from gambling.

Look at gambling, and try to define what it is, how did this fits as a source of income? It's not even reliable, the reason why people expect much from gambling is lack of income stream in their lives, they should work on that instead of believing so strong on gambling.

I fear for gambling problems, as I can see people close by that are affected by gambling, and the problem is money making from gambling, do not expect gambling to keep your bank account fatter, it's impossible to even think about it, you could get lucky but at the same time you could get burnt, it's highly not advisable.

Gambling makes matches more fun and an opportunity for financial benefit. What is not fun however is wagering against your number one supported club and losing. We sometimes act against our feelings when we want more of the financial benefit. Wagering from all directions is acceptable. Because what makes the biggest difference is that we are wagering smartly.

For people intending to make betting a method of livelihood, do not do it. It is impossible to imagine surviving on luck alone. We are intelligent enough to even think about it.

If we believe to much that we win or hope for something big for it maybe we will just get frustrated since for sure that what we expect might now come since it may give us different result.

That's why just like other suggestion that people should aim to have fun so that they will not stressed out theirself for looking for more gains. Gambling supposed to be for entertainment but some other have different thoughts since they think gambling is easy for them to get those easy richest that's why they fail on what they expect from this activity.

All gamblers can get any amount of winnings if they are really lucky but on the other hand the problem is like you said that not all gamblers can get the real winnings, I mean when you get a big win but on the other hand you can't cash it in because you see something more tantalizing like a much bigger win so it makes you put all your money into gambling again which is basically the big win that you always think is nothing more than a "chance" or I mean it is still uncertain and means that it cannot be denied that it is a possibility that can happen in the end you lose all the money from the previous win.

This is the danger when you apply greed to something that is uncertain, basically this is a situation that is always experienced by addicts, which when they win they will be more greedy and when they lose they will be more curious / So in this situation you really won't get anything better, because even if you manage to get a win but not necessarily you can cash it in because of the greed that is difficult to ignore.

Yeah that emotion also happens to me sometimes and basically, these feelings sum up when I win big after doing all in a gamble. So when I do all in and turns out it win I just want to do all in again and win again but sometimes you can face it big lose after win big and not withdrawing the money.

So to defeat the emotion after win Big I just withdraw the money.

This is the danger when you apply greed to something that is uncertain, basically this is a situation that is always experienced by addicts, which when they win they will be more greedy and when they lose they will be more curious / So in this situation you really won't get anything better, because even if you manage to get a win but not necessarily you can cash it in because of the greed that is difficult to ignore.

Yeah that emotion also happens to me sometimes and basically, these feelings sum up when I win big after doing all in a gamble. So when I do all in and turns out it win I just want to do all in again and win again but sometimes you can face it big lose after win big and not withdrawing the money.

So to defeat the emotion after win Big I just withdraw the money. 
emotional, greedy, overconfident are common traits that often dominate a gambler's mind and take over his mind and lose control to continue betting with the assumption that he will win big again.
anyone will experience the same thing when a gambler gets a big win it is very rare for a gambler to get a big win and then stop and withdraw his money, that is very rare and usually they will definitely keep betting at least 3 to 4 times to see if there is a lucky streak.

It's hard to stop when you win, but if you can do it I think you have very disciplined principles and usually have limits in betting so that you firmly decide to stop betting when you win and leave gambling for a moment to enjoy the winnings.
this is fun gambling that should be used happily and when we win we should stop and enjoy the winnings and come back again after we have more money.

Yes, it is a situation that most gamblers are fooled by their own feelings, they always prioritize satisfaction and one of them is like doing all this again even though basically they have managed to get a win, even though on the other hand the possibility of defeat will continue to exist and lurk them in every situation and condition so that this is the reason or cause why in the end you experience defeat in the sense that all the results at the end of the session do not match what you expected.

So this is the importance of maintaining awareness when you are gambling, the fact is that even if you manage to get a win but on the other hand it is not a really good situation for you if you basically have not succeeded or have not agreed with yourself to cash out, as I said earlier because it is not easy to ignore greed when a gambler is in such a situation. The main point and what can be a solution is that you must be able to apply firmness to consciousness when you are gambling, because with a good level of consciousness then when you manage to get a win you will be able to decide to cash out because you remember that the possibility of losing is still very possible.

Not only occasionally, but these emotions will appear more often along with the results you get from gambling so that you may become even more eager to get a bigger win if you win. These emotions will also appear when you lose because you want to recover your losses so that you will continue your gambling activities. Many people will decide to bet all in, saying this is the last time I am going home. But because they have become emotional, they cannot think clearly and try to follow their emotions, so they decide to place an all-in bet. But the result is predictable. They experience loss and lose all their money in an instant, so they have to go home feeling very disappointed and frustrated.

In conclusion, emotions can really play a role in both winning and losing situations, and when you are in a winning situation then emotions will be the impetus for you to apply greed with the aim of getting a much bigger win despite the fact that it is not that simple and easy. And on the other hand what happens more often is that emotions will dominate when you are in a situation where you are really far from luck or in the sense of losing quite often, and obviously the inability to accept defeat makes you end up with emotions and in the end as you said that they will try to chase defeat to restore something that has been lost.

But the journey will not be as smooth as they imagine which in the end obviously you have also said that they end up in a much worse situation. This is the impact if you or anyone gambles with the hope of winning, so it is always recommended to be a responsible gambler in the sense of being able to accept whatever the result at the end of the session, and you can be a responsible gambler if you are able to understand the concept of gambling that everything there is nothing more than a "possibility" of winning or losing.

That's why we have to manage our emotions well so that we don't lose self-control, which will have bad consequences for us. If we continue gambling, we will only experience loss. Even though we can win, it is still not worth it if we lose a lot of money, which could waste our winnings because of greed, which tells us to continue gambling. We also need to learn to be calm whatever the situation and conditions we face so that we react accordingly. But it takes time to manage emotions well so that they don't cause us harm and we shouldn't give up if we can't control our emotions and keep learning.

By continuing to learn, we will become responsible gamblers because we don't want to experience more and more losses, let alone spend all the money we have. We know many real examples of gamblers and even those in our environment, so we don't need to be gamblers like that. And if we don't want to experience loss or lose money, we can look for other activities to get different pleasures from gambling so that we don't have to experience loss. If we still choose gambling, we must be able to really limit our gambling activities and not let it harm us by losing a lot of money.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?
No body plays gamble for fun. rather play to try luck if it will be a means to financial end. And the Quest to achieve this task has been an endless journey. Because people who came with the intention to play this game and cashout out has turn to a regular customer of loosing fund to casino sites. Some have sold all there belonging to make sure they could win and yet they couldn't win as expected. Some people who never took gambling serious  were able to win big what am ironic situation.

The amount I can invest that will make gambling to become more emotional to me, is $20 and above. because it's a big amount of money. despite it is a peanut money to some people, because I know what that amount could afford In my country.

What is mostly common in my neighborhood and that I mostly do is soccer betting and if I am not exaggerating, 90% of the people that do soccer betting do do because they want to win money.

They can watch the match for fun but as long as it involved them paying money before gambling, most persons don't normally see it as fun and this is the reason why after placing a particular bet, if the game isn't successful they continue betting hoping to get a win along the way thervy being seen as addict.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

This is not just in your neighborhood, it's a general thing that everyone does but we don't want to accept the idea that we all do gambling to make money. If I want to have fun, club is the right place I will want to hangout with some couple of friends or make a get together in any garden during weekends, these are remarkable things that are more fun to me because each time I remember the fun of it, it gives goose bumps and sweet memories.

Gambling has its own fun but I only get that in a single bets. You can't tell me that you have a multiple bet with 21 games that are waiting to be played with a little money and you called that a fun, it might be in some extent but the outcome is what many people are after and not what they called fun in actual sense. The motivation behind gambling is money and after that, the next motivation is money.

And also the gambler will become greedy and don't stop playing even though their money is enough for their needs but still they will get some of it and play for their wants without knowing that they will loss a lot of money.
The biggest mistake is to gamble to get gains so that you can spend the money on your needs because gambling is not a source of income and those who consider it one will have to face the negative consequences of it. Something where getting something depends on your luck cannot be considered a way for you to have a guaranteed income, and gambling is exactly that, whether you will win or lose depends on how lucky or unlucky you are.

So, people who gamble with money that they need only because they expect to win more money with it are always going to suffer because even if they manage to win something initially, there will be a time when they will lose everything while trying to win more and then they will regret their actions.

For gamblers who cannot control themselves to stop gambling if the set limit runs out due to their losses, then this gambler will not be able to gamble for fun. However, for those who can be disciplined, they consider gambling as a place to find his luck with a minimum deposit and never exceed the limit of money that they think is worth for gambling, maybe he can find the fun side of the gambling. I think gamblers like this not just thinking about doubling their money and winnings. But, they are trying to entertain him self with his money to gamble and have fun with that.

I have read a lot of thread on this board talking about the need to gamble responsibly and suggesting that gambling is meant to be done for fun and not to be seen as a means of livelihood. While this is theoretically alright, in the reality so many persons actually gamble because they want to get some financial top up from the gamble.

What is mostly common in my neighborhood and that I mostly do is soccer betting and if I am not exaggerating, 90% of the people that do soccer betting do do because they want to win money.

I mean, there's definitely a discussion to be had regarding this topic, and as someone who strictly plays for fun (although of course I still find joy and excitement from earning money while gambling) I think I have a good say about this issue.

There's a fine line between "earning money while gambling" and "gambling to earn money". In my opinion the latter is dangerous as it eventually subjects the user/the gambler into a situation and a downwards spiral that leads them into revenge gambling and eventually, gambling addiction. After all, they make earning money the whole point of their gambling session, and if they couldn't earn the dollars that they are looking for on the first try, they'll try and try until they lose all their bankroll within the day. It's quite stupid and it's fast-acting too.

Now, what I'm really advocating for is to find ways to still have fun even when you're not earning money while gambling. Set entertainment as the primary directive of your gambling and make earning money in the process as nothing but a nice bonus that you can get every now and again. If you're successful with this you're going to still have fun and enjoy yourself even while losing, eventually making sure that even in red days you got your bankroll secured, and you're beyond and arm's reach of gambling addiction.

The gambler who loss the funds  in the gambling site will willing to gain the entire money in the same gambling based on your game.But many gamblers not worry about the loss because of the targeting of the gambling loss by their free time.The gambler also does not worry about the negative impact because of the further long in the gambling site.The gambler thought the gambling site will give the guarantee income.But the result of gambling site was unpredictable one.So the lucky one alone use the gambling site for their steady income,many not understanding the real money used in the gambling site.The gamblers who have strong interest can make money.

The presumption of fun varies a lot from one person to another, even for those who really like football, for example, may not find it very fun to bet on a time and lose money.

I confess that betting in casinos, roulette, dice, cards and the like can be much more fun than betting on sports games.

In any case, I believe that the fun of this type of bet is in the emotion and expectation of the result, and in this case online betting can deliver more "adrenaline" and fun for the bettor.

I agree with you... there are other more interesting ways to have fun while spending less money, but it is also possible to have fun with sports betting, it's just a matter of personal preferences.

I prefer gambling for fun because at first I only bet small, what I can afford to lose. secondly, I don't gamble often, I don't gamble every day because I know that there is a big chance that I will become addicted to gambling if you gamble every day and of course if you gamble every day your money will run out quickly. Gambling is because I consider it a game, not a source of income, so in every gambling game I enjoy even if I lose, but that's really included. Even with online games, I spend money, so it doesn't matter to me because I just think that is the payment for the happiness that gambling brought me at that time.

I don't gamble for financial benefits rather I gamble for fun and that's why I rarely gamble because when you gamble for fun, you only gamble when you just wanna experience the fun but when you gamble for financial benefits, the chances of becoming an addict is high as most of your gambling engagements are primarily for the purpose of making profits from gambling

Even just simply just basing on the behavior then you could really say that people do really come after for the money and not for the fun.Only a few could really be having that kind of approach on things on which they do really believe that making money with gambling is really just that easy or something that it is really that easy to obtain but once they do face up the reality then this is something that they would really be making out those realizations that its never been that possible that you could really be able to make constant wins and money with gambling. It is really just that impossible that there are people who would really be that just purely playing for the sake of fun but rather we would really be longing for the money that we could possibly make.

Gamblers have multiple reasons for their activities, and it also includes fun. Not everyone is there for the money. But, on a bit of it, the gamblers also require money to gamble. So, one way or another the gambler would want to win money. Yet it doesn't mean it's his priority. Whether there is a win or not, the fun gambler doesn't care. Those who gamble for money, most of the time, don't find themselves happy if they don't find themselves some wins. The struggle gets worse if he desperately goes for those wins. Which could affect his gambling habit, and lead to compulsive gambling. Such things as this makes the player to regret his gambling habit, becuase he can lose out all his money on the process. So, it's not that the fun gamblers don't want to play for money, no. They also need money to creep in, but they're not worried over if it arrives or not. Thereby, keeping clean their mental and emotional confidence. Less worries.

Some Gamblers play games out of their initial time set limits. Because of panic and playing out of emotions and it's a bad one. We can not undermine the fact that Gamblers are of different categories which has their gambling perttern. For the aspect of fun, to me the only fun I see in game is when you play games like PS4 with your friend at home or playing draft or snooker games with competition that you will win a friend whom you are playing the game with. Apart from that, I don't see much fun in gambling because whatever money is involved, there is always a seriousness Attached to it and one might easily be prococated in an instance or a slight misconception. So to me gambling is a try and error attempt to make money but fun in game is when you play games with people without staking money.

If people could control themselves when they gambled, they would not have the potential to lose all their capital because they would always be careful in spending their money. They will not easily continue their gambling game if they have experienced several defeats and will choose to stop gambling. Online games and gambling do have different descriptions. But both can give the same addiction or maybe it can be worse than online games because I heard a story of a child who had used up his savings and could even access his parents' credit card to buy items from his online games. This is certainly very sad when we know that there are children who can do it.

Gambling can never be a means to financial ends, even the lucky ones have to use the chance they get to establish themselves or else they will remain a gambler with no money for life, most gamblers do win, but they are not satisfied, many of them have a goal, a million dollars,  or 500k and they won't stop until this goal becomes a reality.

Little do they know that gambling is a wrong source for pursuing your dreams, you are better off doing something else to achieve your dreams, and I don't see any other ways than investing some money, improve your skills to be able to earn more money, the higher your income is the better your investment will be.

If you are gambling for financial reasons you could get lucky, but don't count on getting lucky, also if you end up getting lucky, don't have the mind that you are good at gambling, you just get lucky is all, use the money to your own advantage.

In conclusion, emotions can really play a role in both winning and losing situations, and when you are in a winning situation then emotions will be the impetus for you to apply greed with the aim of getting a much bigger win despite the fact that it is not that simple and easy. And on the other hand what happens more often is that emotions will dominate when you are in a situation where you are really far from luck or in the sense of losing quite often, and obviously the inability to accept defeat makes you end up with emotions and in the end as you said that they will try to chase defeat to restore something that has been lost.

But the journey will not be as smooth as they imagine which in the end obviously you have also said that they end up in a much worse situation. This is the impact if you or anyone gambles with the hope of winning, so it is always recommended to be a responsible gambler in the sense of being able to accept whatever the result at the end of the session, and you can be a responsible gambler if you are able to understand the concept of gambling that everything there is nothing more than a "possibility" of winning or losing.
That's why we have to manage our emotions well so that we don't lose self-control, which will have bad consequences for us. If we continue gambling, we will only experience loss. Even though we can win, it is still not worth it if we lose a lot of money, which could waste our winnings because of greed, which tells us to continue gambling. We also need to learn to be calm whatever the situation and conditions we face so that we react accordingly. But it takes time to manage emotions well so that they don't cause us harm and we shouldn't give up if we can't control our emotions and keep learning.

By continuing to learn, we will become responsible gamblers because we don't want to experience more and more losses, let alone spend all the money we have. We know many real examples of gamblers and even those in our environment, so we don't need to be gamblers like that. And if we don't want to experience loss or lose money, we can look for other activities to get different pleasures from gambling so that we don't have to experience loss. If we still choose gambling, we must be able to really limit our gambling activities and not let it harm us by losing a lot of money.

Yes, it is true because only self-control is able to minimize the number of big defeats or what it means is that by having good self-control and control then indirectly this will be very useful to minimize the possibility of losing large amounts, because obviously when emotions dominate then it is very difficult to ignore some actions out of control because you are in a hot situation due to a defeat that you cannot accept. I understand that even in a state of emotion you can get a win that may be quite large but the problem is that yes as you said that they will definitely put that amount of money back for a much bigger win, the point is that there is no limit here except when they run out of all their money.

Yes we can make other people's bad experiences as learning material, especially learning what people who are addicted do so that it makes them experience a lot of problems and one that has become a common mistake is that they gamble excessively and that means we really have to avoid things that can ultimately make us fall into the abyss, the point is that in my opinion we must have limits in gambling and the right understanding.

With this self-control, they can reduce the number of losses and will not try to gamble beyond their limits. They will always be careful when playing gambling, including spending money to place bets, and maybe they will try to always use bets with small money and always limit their gambling games. By implementing these restrictions, they can avoid losing a lot so that they don't get involved in any problems and can enjoy gambling as they should. They also will not experience a significant increase in emotions because, with self-control, they can maintain a balance between getting pleasure from gambling and also using gambling as entertainment.

Learning from other people's experiences can give us insight and open our eyes in gambling, we have to be really careful because there are many temptations that we will encounter, so by studying other people's experiences, we can avoid making mistakes. By always being careful when playing gambling, we can become responsible gamblers who know how to respond to gambling so that we don't fall deeper into gambling.

Gamblers have multiple reasons for their activities, and it also includes fun. Not everyone is there for the money. But, on a bit of it, the gamblers also require money to gamble. So, one way or another the gambler would want to win money. Yet it doesn't mean it's his priority. Whether there is a win or not, the fun gambler doesn't care. Those who gamble for money, most of the time, don't find themselves happy if they don't find themselves some wins. The struggle gets worse if he desperately goes for those wins. Which could affect his gambling habit, and lead to compulsive gambling. Such things as this makes the player to regret his gambling habit, becuase he can lose out all his money on the process. So, it's not that the fun gamblers don't want to play for money, no. They also need money to creep in, but they're not worried over if it arrives or not. Thereby, keeping clean their mental and emotional confidence. Less worries.
It's true that some find thrill in the trip rather than the reward. Noting this difference is vital, right? Some fun gamblers are resilient, I've noticed. No game outcome affects their mental health. Your stance is admirable.

The drive of victory appears more dangerous. I've seen this desire turn from a harmless interest into a painful one when loses rise and sorrow grows. It shows how the need to win overshadows the fun of gambling. I see the appeal of this pursuit, but it's a slippery slope.

Of course, winnings are important, but fun gambling requires money, as you noted. My attitude is that winnings are a bonus, not the aim. For emotional and mental strength, I recommend this mindset. Find joy in the deed, not the result.

No body plays gamble for fun. rather play to try luck if it will be a means to financial end. And the Quest to achieve this task has been an endless journey. Because people who came with the intention to play this game and cashout out has turn to a regular customer of loosing fund to casino sites. Some have sold all there belonging to make sure they could win and yet they couldn't win as expected. Some people who never took gambling serious  were able to win big what am ironic situation.

The amount I can invest that will make gambling to become more emotional to me, is $20 and above. because it's a big amount of money. despite it is a peanut money to some people, because I know what that amount could afford In my country.

For gamblers who cannot control themselves to stop gambling if the set limit runs out due to their losses, then this gambler will not be able to gamble for fun. However, for those who can be disciplined, they consider gambling as a place to find his luck with a minimum deposit and never exceed the limit of money that they think is worth for gambling, maybe he can find the fun side of the gambling. I think gamblers like this not just thinking about doubling their money and winnings. But, they are trying to entertain him self with his money to gamble and have fun with that.

Gamblers have multiple reasons for their activities, and it also includes fun. Not everyone is there for the money. But, on a bit of it, the gamblers also require money to gamble.

Classifying gamblers as fun or profit hunters simplifies a complex subject. All gamblers realize the stakes are money. Their risk-reward connection distinguishes them. Aren't you foolish to say fun gamblers don't care about wins and losses? Success still depends on money. The difference is how they handle gaming results. This is about human psychology and money value, not fun or desperation

Compulsion to gamble is more than just a desire to win. Control (or lack thereof) and psychological triggers that transform casual to compulsive are key. There's no point in romanticizing or demonizing gambling without considering its effects on society and individuals

Yes, everyone knows that winning when gambling is very important. It's just that our mindset must be used in managing behavior when gambling, meaning playing gambling responsibly and being fun. I think we all have to understand that gambling is not just about seeking financial gain where it should be. We can get that from outside gambling, for example working part time or just doing business and trading which also produces financial benefits too.

The point is that we should never try to have a goal just to seek financial gain, but try to change the mindset of gambling just to have fun and not make us feel like we have a high desire to achieve financial gain in gambling, in fact the winnings should only be used as a bonus from the game gambling that we play and it must be instilled in our mindset, even though it depends on how we manage our mindset correctly or not, it all depends on ourselves because that way we can know how to play gambling responsibly and correctly, which will keep us from from gambling addiction.

Playing gambling with the aim of having fun can go hand in hand with the aim of making a profit, I agree with what you say regarding responsible gambling, managing your way of thinking to be able to control your emotions when to stop. I have a friend who gambles with a small capital of around 50 dollars, he gambles almost every day and with the aim of having fun. But when he gets a profit of around 20 dollars, he will stop and invest it in buying coins. He doesn't always win, but he does it like that almost very often. I think if you are not too ambitious and greedy, it is very possible to do it every day, concerns about gambling addiction cannot be avoided. However, what is clear is that in my opinion these two things can go together, depending on how someone manages their ambitions.

This is a good and healthy approach to gambling and people will be able to implement all the recommended actions along with many restrictions when they come with the right mindset and point of view about gambling, all of this should start from the very beginning of your involvement, By this I mean that you will easily be able to apply a lot of restrictions as well as avoid overdoing it when you come with the right understanding about gambling such as understanding that it is nothing more than a profit-making activity that also involves much greater risks and with this then I am sure you will not be too bold to do silly actions such as risking large amounts or other things that are really not recommended. On the other hand, when you have the right understanding and mindset, you will definitely tend to think more about risk management rather than chasing something that has no certainty like winning, and the point is that you can stay fine if you gamble based on a correct understanding of the concept of gambling.

Ever since I have been in this gambling board I have seen lot of questions if this kind and my resolution to it is just I don't have a specific purpose for gambling because the two purpose of gambling here is the core reason for indulging in gambling. how then can I separate them and chose one it doesn't work that way.

for me I gamble for the two either fun or funds, some times it's for fun while some time it's for the money, especially when I'm broke I go for money, yes according people here it's not a response way of gambling but deep down in our hearts we are there for the money. but when im okay or my work is paying me accordingly I just put in some little set out amount and gamble for fun or play those online casino game.
For me anyone who is choosing that gambling is for fun I think its a capital lie because the objective of every gamblers is to ensure that they have make money through gambling, those who is saying that gambling is for fun they are just putting us untrue because when looking at it, it's obvious that gambling is not for fun, the essence of us gambling is because we need money to sort out our problem or issues but people in another way will start saying what is not obtainable in order to deceived some people, when you lose in gambling consequently we do have pain in our heart because is not what we expected for, any man or gamblers dreams is to make money through gambling.

Well, you are wrong, that you do not gamble for fun does not mean every other gambler do not do the same, it's wrong to generalize something which is personal to you, and maybe to some other people as well, but not to the general public.

As far as I know, gambling for fun is real, I myself do some times, spend my time and money playing a slot game that I like and love to play, I am not playing the game for monetary benefits, but simply playing the game just to have fun while time pass by.
There are several people who do gamble for fun, but the thing is that, it's not all the time, like me for example, I have games I play when I am playing for fun, and I also have games I play when I am playing to win money, it all depends on the mode I find myself, but in all, one thing I've always avoided is, gambling for more money to sort out my life issues, gambling should never be considered as a mean of making money to sort out life's issues.

Financial benefit part means that you think you could benefit from it, but the reality is that we have seen way too many people who have ended up with nothing all that crazy from gambling. If there are so many people who make money from gambling , where are they? I have seen millions of people gamble around the world, and I have seen only a few dozen that made enough to live, I do not think that it would make sense for them to keep it going.

All in all it is not going to be all that easy, but let them be, it would make sense to just let people make their own decision. If people want to gamble for fun then let them gamble for fun if they want to gamble for money then let them do that too, it is their money they can do whatever they want with it.

No doubt, if the drive to win overshadows the fun it is dangerous but then gambling for fun doesn`t mean that you are immune from the dangers of gambling especially when you have lost control.

I have a story to buttress this point. A gambler who was so rich was always gambling and even inviting friends to his house to gamble and each time he was asked why he gambled so much he claimed to be having fun and pleasure from it. Sometimes he travels out of state just to experience gambling in other states because of his passion for it. But then, all this became a problem for him when he became addicted. He gambled to the point of even borrowing and selling properties just to gamble.

So, whether we gamble for fun or financial benefits, the shield is self-control because without self-control you will run into problems.

It's enjoyment, like reading or watching a movie. Playing, anticipation, and safe highs and lows are more exciting than winning. However, Im aware of the border between fun gambling and risky gambling. Like you, I've found value in separating fun games from stakes games. A deliberate choice involves awareness and control. Maintaining a healthy gaming relationship requires this differentiation.

Supporting fun Gambling should be seen as a hobby, not a financial strategy. To hear someone else realise and practise this balance is refreshing. In gambling, personal responsibility and self-awareness are crucial.

The knowledge was the important one for the gambling,many gamblers thought the luck was the important one.One of my friend thought luck is the only way to make the money in the gambling site.He had lost 12k dollars only by considering the luck as the fully important one in the gambling site.He had earned nearly 7k from the 12k as the base capital of 5k from their hand.But after the big winning was made,my friend had used the big betting in the gambling site.He had won huge money in the random betting,but the same money was lost in the random betting.The gamblers who had good knowledge can tackle the problem at any game in gambling site.

I wouldn't want to totally discredit your point of view but then you should understand that there are people who actually gamble for fun, as difficult as it may appear for you to believe it's reality, I can say this authoritatively because I've witnessed it on several occasions and one of the occasions he literally gave out all they he won to charity.

People genuinely gamble for fun and not deceiving their selves but it's only but a very few who actually gamble for fun this way and that's why I can actually understand your doubt because you can hardly find the genuine fun gamblers as what we have around the most are gamblers who do so for the sake of winning and their personal financial benefits probably because they were actually financially challenged before they visited the casino be it online or offline, gambling for fun is possible and can actually be achieved especially when you risk that which you can afford to lose.

Playing just for the money can get tiresome. But there still has to be some fun in the game. Otherwise there will be no inspiration to continue playing. Of course, in everything there must be a measure, and the degree of this measure each player determines for himself. The more reasonable the approach to the case - the greater the return

When working with the human brain and how people think, don't use yourself as a general example. If you allow the outcome of your gambling to affect your happiness, it's your choice and personal problem. And it also depends on your upbringing, and the type of neighborhood you grew up from, maybe around people who don't get satisfied over what they've got and go hunting for money in casinos, when things go wrong, they come out frowning their faces like morons who have not had food to eat since sliced bread. If it bothers you, it doesn't bother me. Please don't use such words as "foolish" when quoting my account. Or better off, put you on ignore. I think you need to take some break from writing, and rethink before responding to people, before you begin to get aggressive over what doesn't worth being aggressive for.

I have seen millions of people gamble around the world, and I have seen only a few dozen that made enough to live, I do not think that it would make sense for them to keep it going.

All in all it is not going to be all that easy, but let them be, it would make sense to just let people make their own decision. If people want to gamble for fun then let them gamble for fun if they want to gamble for money then let them do that too, it is their money they can do whatever they want with it.
Getting a profit from gambling is not an easy thing and most people who gamble definitely hope that the game can make a profit for them, yes, there are indeed many millions of people who gamble, but only a few people can really use gambling to make a profit for them and this is only done by gamblers who have high skills, if someone gambles only with minimal skills and cannot control themselves, it will cause them to experience significant financial losses.

It is up to the gambler to use gambling for what purpose, whether to have fun or to make a profit, they are gambling with their own money and not harming other people. However, if I myself use gambling just to have fun and if I win I consider it a small bonus from gambling so I don't really have any hope of making a profit from gambling.

The knowledge was the important one for the gambling,many gamblers thought the luck was the important one.One of my friend thought luck is the only way to make the money in the gambling site.He had lost 12k dollars only by considering the luck as the fully important one in the gambling site.He had earned nearly 7k from the 12k as the base capital of 5k from their hand.But after the big winning was made,my friend had used the big betting in the gambling site.He had won huge money in the random betting,but the same money was lost in the random betting.The gamblers who had good knowledge can tackle the problem at any game in gambling site.
Your friends should understand that finding luck in gambling is difficult and cannot be obtained as often as we would like. Luck can give us a win and make money, but luck will not always come every time we gamble. And it seems that your friend has become greedy when he has won a big win and thinks that he can win another big win even though it is a trap for greedy gamblers so that they go back to gambling and spend all their money. That is why every gambler must be able to control himself when playing gambling so that he does not lose more money in gambling. When a person has succeeded in considering gambling as entertainment, he will not cross his boundaries and only continue to use gambling as entertainment and nothing more. He didn't want to experience an even bigger loss that he couldn't accept.

Playing just for the money can get tiresome. But there still has to be some fun in the game. Otherwise there will be no inspiration to continue playing. Of course, in everything there must be a measure, and the degree of this measure each player determines for himself. The more reasonable the approach to the case - the greater the return

A gambler can only get tired when he is not winning but the tiredness doesn't mean that he will quit gambling. He will only lament and get worried that he is not winning but he will continue playing with the hope of winning. Experience shows that even though people gamble because of money sometimes they get fun from the game. So gambling for money doesn't mean that fun has been taken away automatically.

I have seen people who play games even though the game didn`t play, they laugh when they tear the tickets and you see them laugh together with friends and think of how to do it better. Gambling is only rewarding when you predict rightly and so most gamblers want to get it right and make mega money which is not bad but then they should always set limits to avoid financial damage.

They can watch the match for fun but as long as it involved them paying money before gambling, most persons don't normally see it as fun and this is the reason why after placing a particular bet, if the game isn't successful they continue betting hoping to get a win along the way thervy being seen as addict.
I am interested in your saying that they cannot have fun with football because they have bet on it. I think this is a very sad thing. Gambling addicts are really bad people. They can't even enjoy something that should be fun like football. I don't know anyone who can enjoy games like football or MMA once they place their bets but to be honest I've never bet before and I don't think it will happen because I'm worried about getting addicted and having bad consequences.

It is impossible for someone to have fun in watching a match that he has bets on, such person will have anxiety and one sided in support, at this point what he cares about is his bet depend on his options, so, it is very much true that people can have fun in a game that they place bet on, football is a game of fun though, but having fun and beating at this same time can ruin your fun, when you are gambling supporting a team as a fan is not obtainable unless you make a strict decision not bet on your favourite team but if you do, there is no way you can enjoy such game, if you notice very well people don't openly support team that much again because of gambling.

The fellowship over the broken tickets shows that people can enjoy being let down. To get through this world, you need to know yourself and set limits. The risk and return of gambling make it necessary to be disciplined. I like how gaming strikes a fine balance between making money and having fun. It shows how complicated human reasoning is and how we look for meaning in even the most pointless things we do. Limits are very important for keeping your finances from going bad.

Many things in my life have taught me to be moderate. Gambling can be fun and interesting if you do it in a smart way. The key is to find a balance between being smart with your money and enjoying the hunt.

Simply linking betting to boredom is simplistic. Responsible gambling adds a new level to sports watching. Not only the money—engagement, knowing the game, strategy, and pressure performance

Bets on your favourite team destroy the enjoyment in your opinion. I contend that it requires a deeper awareness and acceptance of the game's unpredictability. Strategy, not gambling, is the issue. We need discipline and emotional intelligence. Keeping perspective and control allows a fan to wager and enjoy the game

You say gambling reduces team support? An oversimplification. Bets or not, true fans stay loyal. Passion for the game, community, and shared highs and lows. Let's promote informed, responsible betting rather than villainizing gambling

The gambler mostly like to watch the games of the other gamblers with their experience.Because the gamblers who had a sufficient knowledge alone not a successful gamblers in the gambling site.It was more essential one for the gambler to increase the game by watching the matches of the others because every one had their own style of the game.So the game can be learned by the gamblers who play in the future game.So the gambling was based on the player experiences and their skills will give their more money by playing more interesting.

The gambler always want to make money by the playing the game in the more as compared to watching the game.The more you play the more you earn as the experience in the gambling site.The game should use the small capital to play the gambling so they can play the more game in the gambling site as compared to less game with the high capital.The second one was not gives you more money for the winning because of the less game.

The gambler who take huge risk in the gambling site will make more money in the gambling site.Because the risk was made because of the making high betting in the gambling site,the high betting allow the gamblers to make the high gambling money as their winning.

If gambler is playing for fun then one thing they can assure once they loss then it's okay for them cause they don't aim for the win al they want is fun so there's no serious about losing. While those gamblers aim for profit then once they lose they will make a way to get that losses and aim for another win. And also the gambler will become greedy and don't stop playing even though their money is enough for their needs but still they will get some of it and play for their wants without knowing that they will loss a lot of money.
I don't understand why it hurts so much when I lose gambling sometimes. I have lost a lot of money because of gambling.However, I am always willing to accept losses while gambling.  Because if I can't accept defeat, it can be a big danger for me, so I am always willing to accept them.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?
how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?
Simply because most people who gamble lose money, they console themselves and consider it entertainment. I believe that when you can earn money regularly from gambling, you will immediately think of considering it as a means or job that brings you finances. There are still people like that, but to be honest, this number is not many, even very small, so most people only see gambling as a form of entertainment. No one will judge them if they just see gambling as entertainment, but if you see it as a job that generates income, you will definitely be judged as a failure in your career, It certainly won't be pleasant at all, right?
I personally do not consider gambling as a job, but forex and crypto trading is a different story. In some ways, trading forex and crypto is a bit like gambling, but for me, I have a method to be able to make money regularly every month, whereas I can't do that with gambling.

We will experience loss more often than we win, so we must try to prevent greater losses by limiting our gambling. It is painful if we experience loss, but as long as we can accept the loss, we will not feel pain because it is an amount we can accept. Many of us also experience losing a lot of money in gambling but if we have set a limit, it will not be so painful because it is a limit that we can afford. If we aim to win, we may have difficulty because we will experience many losses and may end up spending all the money. That is why we have to use limits when playing gambling so that we can prevent many losses and accept those losses well. We can leave the casino without any feeling of wanting to recover the loss.

That's what makes gambling very unique from trading, it has no actual working method. Many experts have tried to figure a perfect method for gambling, to yield steady income monthly, but it doesn't work. The method keeps changing, and the gambler requires lots of techniques to be on a better side of the game. I mean in a side of not many losses, but few big wins. The house has a bigger benefit on the gambler's money due to the edge. Gamblers need to understand this and play gambling for the fun not for money. I don't understand why players still go for the funds as a sole purpose of gambling. Why not play the game and enjoy what the providers has to give us on the screen. However, gambling is fun, and can yield funds, but shouldn't be misused, if not the gambler would find himself in a very long trouble.

That's why I say that becoming a gambling addict will be very dangerous for your life and family. And people like you said, I'm sure they are people from lower and middle economic levels, right? I mean according to what I know rich and super rich people never gamble to make money. They do it just for fun.

This is a problem for most gamblers. Because there are still many people who think of gambling as a source of income. I have a friend and I think he can be an example not to get addicted. He is not a rich man. He also only bets very small amounts. And he did it just for fun and to add adrenaline while watching sports. People like him will not be addicted to gambling and will not continue to gamble. What is most necessary is to manage time and money well, and realize that gambling will be very dangerous if we are not able to control it well.

With somewhat lackadaisical consolation, they maintain a somewhat false entertainment regime, opening their mouths to levels of fun but when they set up a gambling match, that was a villainous personality full of resentment as well as eagerness for benefits, aspect that can create materiality that is difficult to domesticate into a fun, more rational, finally need to acknowledge that gambling directly links people with making money. Entertainment requires more optimistic emotional values, gambling carries too many negative criteria even though it still includes good aspects

gamblers who come to have fun will always be able to limit themselves and know when is the right time to gamble because those who gamble for fun usually have critical thinking or are wiser in managing their financial budget for gambling and respect their budget to have fun later day so they will never regret even if they often lose before they stop gambling but they don't have the thought to chase those losses.

different from gamblers who come to make a profit, usually they only think about how to get a win and always try continuously to get a win, no matter how much they have lost, the most important thing is that they can get a big win like they want, but without realizing that when the longer they bet, the smaller the chance of winning because emotions will get the best of them and when they lose they will really regret it and want to chase their losses to recover the money they have lost.

that's the difference, even though I'm not a hypocrite if gamblers who are having fun also want to win, but it's just winning that they want, not the big profits they want, like gamblers who come for profit.

And this one would really not that easy i should say when it comes on trying out to make yourself to convince that you are really just that doing for fun which we do know that later on it might changed
specially on the time that we are already that making ourselves that being impulsive and this is something that we dont really like to happen but most of the time it is really that inevitable or really hard to resist.
Gambling for fun is something that should really be in default but not all people would really be that having those same mindset on which there are those people who do really end up on being impulsive
and having those thoughts that they would be playing gambling for making money.For those who are really just that playing for fun then they are the ones who wont really be ending up on a disaster on playing
gambling and to those who are playing for money then they are the ones who do end up on being addicted.

I read a gambling thread where there was a lot of discussion about rich and poor gamblers. It was asked who gambles the most between the rich and the poor. Most of the cases seen in this thread mentioned poor gamblers who are more addicted to gambling. Based on that I would also say that a poor gambler is more addicted to gambling than a rich gambler. Because the rich have less greed for money than a poor gambler. Because the poor gambler wants to change his situation quickly. He started considering gambling as a part of his income. Wealthy gamblers are also addicted, but less than poor ones.

Every player would like to make money from gambling, but mostly they play for such little money that this cannot become a problem for them, and those who want to play for big money do it for a reason, it means they have financial wealth that allows to do this, or they manages to make money from it.

Well, you are right, when it comes to gambling for either fun or financial benefits, I completely agree that the poor people are more likely to fall into the category of those who are mainly gambling for financial benefits, as it is known that a poor person needs money, and gambling itself also requires spending money, if the poor man can agree to spend his money on gambling, it is because there is the possiblity of coming out with double or more of the amount they spent, without such possiblity, I do not think any poor man will want to spend the little money they have managed to earn on gambling.

And now, shifting from focusing on poor people, I would also say that generally, most gamblers play for financial benefits, very few gamblers are really playing for fun disregarding financial status this time, or whether a person is rich or poor, they majority of gamblers are playing for money benefit.

Winning should not be the main goal in gambling, that's why the mindset of gamblers must be like rich people where they must really play to have fun so that they remain in proper control and free from gambling addiction. The point is to limit the budget when gambling because it will prevent us from greedy behavior which ultimately makes us continue playing to get that win, even though the win should be used as a bonus, not something that has to be achieved and pursued when gambling.

I'm sure it will be useless if you chase victory at gambling, you will definitely experience difficulties if you make it your main priority when gambling, many people experience defeat and are addicted to gambling in the end when they really make winning the main goal of gambling, I am also not a hypocrite, everyone You definitely want to win, but don't use that as your main goal when gambling, always make sure you gamble with the right budget so you don't go over the limit and become addicted to gambling. Winning is a bonus, it is something that must be instilled into our mindset and losing is just assumed that we paid something. for fun things in gambling.

How often do we see this problem in real life? I have several friends who are now addicted, every day they always experience a lot of problems, losing financial balance is an impact that they will definitely feel in real life, and I saw one of my friends just sold one of the items that seemed to  have become a friend of life for most people, namely gadgets, He needs the gadget to help facilitate his life in every way and one of them is to communicate with family or friends or girlfriends, and there is no other way to be able to help himself from the needs of life that cannot be tolerated other than he has to sell his gadget and get  money to buy food, and isn't this a gambling addiction problem that causes problems in everyday life? Not only this because I also often see some news shows that inform that the rate of people who commit criminal acts is higher due to the impact of gambling addiction.

One of the reasons why we have to talk about the evils of gambling addiction as well as give/exchange advice and guidance to anyone as a preventive measure is because this is the only thing we can do to help our fellow gamblers not end up with addiction and a lot of bad consequences. On the other hand you can't just say that "most gamblers only play with little money", you can't conclude that simply because that idea overrides another fact here which is that the population of addicted people is increasing and I saw this fact from some news shows that showed statistics of the increase in people involved in gambling where the percentage increase almost touched 100x from 2020 to now, and this means that the population of addicted people will increase, and this is the reason why we always discuss the adverse effects of addiction along with giving a lot of advice and direction so that the number of addicted people can be minimized. I understand that most gamblers come to earn but unfortunately gambling is not a place that can provide you with income, it is this misconception that we must correct and redirect.

That's why I say that becoming a gambling addict will be very dangerous for your life and family. And people like you said, I'm sure they are people from lower and middle economic levels, right? I mean according to what I know rich and super rich people never gamble to make money. They do it just for fun.

This is a problem for most gamblers. Because there are still many people who think of gambling as a source of income. I have a friend and I think he can be an example not to get addicted. He is not a rich man. He also only bets very small amounts. And he did it just for fun and to add adrenaline while watching sports. People like him will not be addicted to gambling and will not continue to gamble. What is most necessary is to manage time and money well, and realize that gambling will be very dangerous if we are not able to control it well.
In the gambling section, addiction is often discussed, but how often do we see it in everyday life? I realize this problem exists, but I don't think it's widespread enough to be discussed that often. Every player would like to make money from gambling, but mostly they play for such little money that this cannot become a problem for them, and those who want to play for big money do it for a reason, it means they have financial wealth that allows to do this, or they manages to make money from it.
The topic of addictions have been more pronounced in recent time and to a great extent most gamblers seems to believe that they are all free from addictions because of the fact that they have not lose unbearable amount or acted in a way that brings out the addictions in them but still they have exhibited some characteristic of addicts and at that could believe that they don't have such tendency in them but in reality they have.

So we need to make a proper separation between addictions,  gambling for profits and so on at some level,  but then we need to discourage the sense of ideology that takes gambling as a means to make profits.

People like him will not be addicted to gambling and will not continue to gamble. What is most necessary is to manage time and money well, and realize that gambling will be very dangerous if we are not able to control it well.
I read a gambling thread where there was a lot of discussion about rich and poor gamblers. It was asked who gambles the most between the rich and the poor. Most of the cases seen in this thread mentioned poor gamblers who are more addicted to gambling. Based on that I would also say that a poor gambler is more addicted to gambling than a rich gambler. Because the rich have less greed for money than a poor gambler. Because the poor gambler wants to change his situation quickly. He started considering gambling as a part of his income. Wealthy gamblers are also addicted, but less than poor ones.

Overall I honestly can't say for sure about who is more addicted between gamblers who have rich or poor backgrounds, but it seems quite interesting and I also agree with you that poor gamblers are more likely to become more addicted gamblers than rich people. We can see the reason from their financial situation in real life, which of course the financial situation is the main reason that can encourage a gambler to act more aggressively, such as poor people who as we know that they have a below average financial situation and most of them misunderstand what is meant by "winning opportunities" in gambling, they think that gambling can change their fortunes for the better when in fact gambling is not a place that can be used as an alternative to overcome financial problems but instead gambling with the wrong approach will make you suffer more financial problems.

So the financial situation that poor people have in my opinion can really be used as an excuse for the idea that "poor people can be much more addicted than rich people", on the other hand it is quite reasonable and I believe that rich people treat gambling as nothing more than a place of entertainment when they have a little free time in the middle of their busy lives, and also in my opinion rich people will not make gambling a place to earn because usually they will consider something from all sides and announce something that has the certainty to be truly profitable or profitable such as investment or business in real life.

Well, you are right, when it comes to gambling for either fun or financial benefits, I completely agree that the poor people are more likely to fall into the category of those who are mainly gambling for financial benefits, as it is known that a poor person needs money, and gambling itself also requires spending money, if the poor man can agree to spend his money on gambling, it is because there is the possiblity of coming out with double or more of the amount they spent, without such possiblity, I do not think any poor man will want to spend the little money they have managed to earn on gambling.

And now, shifting from focusing on poor people, I would also say that generally, most gamblers play for financial benefits, very few gamblers are really playing for fun disregarding financial status this time, or whether a person is rich or poor, they majority of gamblers are playing for money benefit.
The fact is that the player comes to play for the first time because he thinks that he will make money from it, but he does not want to think about what advantages over other players and the game itself he will be able to do. This is what distinguishes someone who comes into the game to earn money from someone who wants to have a little fun and spend an enjoyable evening. Meanwhile, I can say that I studied poker for a very long time and wanted to make money with this game. Ultimately, I wanted to do it so much that I was completely beaten at the higher limits, I just wasn't ready for them. I wanted to win too much and this also bothers many players and leads to a loss in the end. While those players who play for fun can approach the game more easily, which in turn puts them in a more advantageous position with moral stability.

Life is too short. My first aim in everything is to enjoy this life. I don't have a lot of money. Making millions with little money seems like a dream to me. That's why I try to enjoy the game. This is the most realistic approach for me. At the end of the day, I feel that I have enjoyed myself and calmed my mind, and that is enough for me. There are people who have a lot of money but can't have these things. I think if we think we have the right approach, we can always find a way to be happy.

Gambling is supposed to be a game of fun but unfortunately a lot of persons take it to be a source of finance which is logically wrong. Yes gambling arguably can be tempting to be a source of income especially when you tend to make multiple wins consecutively which could make one feel the need to take more days off work since you have become richer at an easier pace. The core reason people should not take gambling as a financial source is because people tend to be very serious when it comes to their finance which of course us their main income source.
Now if gambling becomes a source of income you will tend to gamble more so logically you could win more and most of the time this could end badly and even lead to a nasty addiction in some cases.

It should really be just that for fun but due to peoples love of money then everything that they could really be able to deal with and this would really be that totally on you on how
you would really be able to control yourself into it, people do mess up just because they have been making up those decisions which they are really that tending to go overboard
on which this is where people do mess up their lives because of having that loving on making money and not making those kind of realization that it should really be just that for fun.
Dont tend or force yourself about making money because it was never been intended for that purpose, instead you do enjoy yourself you would rather be stressful
because of too much losses.

I agree with what you said, it's better that you play gambling for fun than you play gambling to make money. It is difficult to make gambling a source of income because we know that there is no certainty in gambling whether you will win or lose. The first thing that will happen to you is that your money will run out, you will become addicted to gambling etc. You will not get rich immediately from gambling always remember that so don't be serious about gambling, just play according to your budget and have fun. It's really tempting when you often win gambling, but you have to control yourself because it's not always like that, it's rare to win big in gambling.

Not lot of person,almost all the people use the gambling for making entertainment.The first thing need to understand is the gambler should betting based on the wallet,but many gamblers bet above their holding with the overconfidence.If the algorithm of the gambling site was changed the entire money will be leads to the loss.The gamblers who want to make money should use of the small and reasonable betting based on the holding money.Gradually increase your wallet balance will able to keep the strong wallet.If you increase your wallet by making the random betting money,the same money will be loss from the random money betting.

Of course, someone who is addicted to gambling will be dangerous for themselves and the people around them because people who are addicted to gambling tend to gamble for financial gain, not just to have fun because if they have fun they probably won't become addicted because of that. caused by too much pursuit of the ambition to win.
Yes, rich people are more able to enjoy gambling for fun because they already have whatever they have so they see gambling as entertainment, which is different from people in a less stable economy who think of it as making a profit.

This has become a very common problem among the gambling community and most gamblers, especially the lower middle class, consider gambling as a source of income, therefore many people gamble so they can get instant profits and that is why many people become uncontrolled when gambling because they not willing to lose their money and not produce anything and this is what triggers someone to become addicted.

gamblers who come to have fun will always be able to limit themselves and know when is the right time to gamble because those who gamble for fun usually have critical thinking or are wiser in managing their financial budget for gambling and respect their budget to have fun later day so they will never regret even if they often lose before they stop gambling but they don't have the thought to chase those losses.

different from gamblers who come to make a profit, usually they only think about how to get a win and always try continuously to get a win, no matter how much they have lost, the most important thing is that they can get a big win like they want, but without realizing that when the longer they bet, the smaller the chance of winning because emotions will get the best of them and when they lose they will really regret it and want to chase their losses to recover the money they have lost.

that's the difference, even though I'm not a hypocrite if gamblers who are having fun also want to win, but it's just winning that they want, not the big profits they want, like gamblers who come for profit.
If gamblers can use gambling for fun, they will be able to find that pleasure from gambling and will limit themselves and know when is the right time to gamble. They will not use too much money because they already have clear limits in gambling so they will not spend too much money. They will control spending money on gambling because they know that gambling is just for fun and not to make money. If they can win from gambling, they only consider it as a bonus because they can use gambling as entertainment.

But if gamblers gamble just to make money, it will be difficult for them to make money because gambling is not a place to make money, especially when getting money is not easy. They have to use money, which may be a lot of money, even though that doesn't guarantee they can win. And if they lose, they will try to recover from their defeat and then try to win even though they will lose again. They don't have a big chance of winning the gambling game but don't want to stop gambling because they haven't won.

Yes, it is normal for people to gamble for fun but also want to win. They want to make money from gambling even though they know that it is difficult for them to win. But they can use gambling as entertainment even though they also want to win.

It is impossible for someone to have fun in watching a match that he has bets on, such person will have anxiety and one sided in support, at this point what he cares about is his bet depend on his options, so, it is very much true that people can have fun in a game that they place bet on, football is a game of fun though, but having fun and beating at this same time can ruin your fun, when you are gambling supporting a team as a fan is not obtainable unless you make a strict decision not bet on your favourite team but if you do, there is no way you can enjoy such game, if you notice very well people don't openly support team that much again because of gambling.

The gambler mostly like to watch the games of the other gamblers with their experience.Because the gamblers who had a sufficient knowledge alone not a successful gamblers in the gambling site.It was more essential one for the gambler to increase the game by watching the matches of the others because every one had their own style of the game.So the game can be learned by the gamblers who play in the future game.So the gambling was based on the player experiences and their skills will give their more money by playing more interesting.
I am surprised about what you just said here, or maybe you didn't explain well for me to fully understand. Did you mean such a gambler is not sure of himself or what? I can't seriously comprehend this because we should not be relying on other people for our gambling activity. Good, we can learn from others to know how they do it if we know they are good or better than us, but being dependent on them is not what I like, it could also cause issues like confusion and regret at times. This is particularly true if we've already had our games set but because we peep at what the supposed better gamblers were doing, we now change our options and might be the wrong options we changed to, which hurts.

I believe that gamblers should have their own minds and expertise, this will make them lose proudly and not that some certain people will cause the loss of their money for them. This is what pains me most, and ever in my gambling life, I've never played based on other people's advice. If the worst comes to be worst, I would rather give them the money to play on my behalf. I've done the latter times without a number and those who I'd given the money have always lost the game. This is why I do my thing by myself and it has been fine with me.

I think you or we cannot rule out the fact that actually happens in gambling where most people or gamblers make gambling a place to earn, or simply they always prioritize winning in every bet, I understand that whoever it is that even though they come just for entertainment but still they will never refuse the name of victory but maybe the difference is that there are some gamblers who are too pushy to win and there are also those who wait with patience and maybe you also already know the two types of gamblers that I mentioned.

On the other hand of course what else you said is true about betting according to our abilities or meaning not overdoing it and only spending money that we can afford to lose because this is the approach that is always recommended in gambling which is full of uncertainties, and I think it is an inappropriate idea to say or allow anyone to bring the idea of earning in gambling, even if you only bring a small amount but still the mindset of "earning" should be avoided because I am sure that over time they will think of increasing the amount of bets in order to make bigger winnings, and so it is more appropriate to simply think that gambling is only for fun and limit all your gambling activities.

Yes, this is what the calculation is made for, that the player to some extent plays not only against the casino and other players, but also against himself, his psychology. And often it seems to him that he will win a little and leave, but in practice this does not work out. The player continues, this may be due to the fact that he wants to win even more money, trying to realize his plans to make money. Or for fun, trying to show how much of an expert he is in this area, to prove it to himself or to show off to his friends. These two scenarios will not lead to success in most cases, because these two players will not be able to stop at the right moment. I would like to note that players stop more often for fun, because they take the game more lightly, which also allows them to avoid critical mistakes in behavior and play. This player probably loses less.

but do remember, if you are into luck-based games, don't ever expect that you will be on the winning side after you call it a day. even if you have tons of money and you are playing dice or roulette or any other casino classics, you won't go home as a sure winner.

even if you increase your skills in those games of chance, i don't think you will regularly win on this type of game. i can understand if you are into poker or sportsbetting. the longer years you have as experience, the better chance for you to really earn some good money.

I have read a lot of thread on this board talking about the need to gamble responsibly and suggesting that gambling is meant to be done for fun and not to be seen as a means of livelihood. While this is theoretically alright, in the reality so many persons actually gamble because they want to get some financial top up from the gamble.

What is mostly common in my neighborhood and that I mostly do is soccer betting and if I am not exaggerating, 90% of the people that do soccer betting do do because they want to win money.

They can watch the match for fun but as long as it involved them paying money before gambling, most persons don't normally see it as fun and this is the reason why after placing a particular bet, if the game isn't successful they continue betting hoping to get a win along the way thervy being seen as addict.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?
The thing is that getting money while you're gambling is definitely a good thing, but it's not where you can solely find fun and entertainment when you gamble. Gambling for entertainment being one of the biggest ways for us to really have fun even when we're losing money. We do this by hardwiring our brain into looking into other avenues/aspects in the world of gambling that we deem entertaining or fun to say the least. I personally find entertainment when I make risky but calculated bets, the adrenaline rush of having to put down ludicrous amounts of money is what gets me going when I gamble now compared to chasing impossible wins when I'm still starting as a young gambler.

Thus far, compared to when I was chasing wins I have a relatively slower rate at which I burn through my bankroll, clearly indicating that even if you're gambling for the adrenaline rush and the high you're still better off as compared to if you're gambling for profit.

The majority of people are gambling for the financial benefit that they expect to get from gambling. In fact, if you check the rapid growth in the gambling industry among youth and if you walk up to them to ask a question with respect to their reasons for getting involved in gambling, you will be amazed by the kind of responses that you will get from them. 
 
Some of the reasons why most people can't see the fun part of gambling are as a result of them being blinded by what they could only get from it, and they get addicted to it as a result of getting too greedy and having too much expectation, which most times means they never get to achieve what they want from gambling.

emotional, greedy, overconfident are common traits that often dominate a gambler's mind and take over his mind and lose control to continue betting with the assumption that he will win big again.
anyone will experience the same thing when a gambler gets a big win it is very rare for a gambler to get a big win and then stop and withdraw his money, that is very rare and usually they will definitely keep betting at least 3 to 4 times to see if there is a lucky streak.

It's hard to stop when you win, but if you can do it I think you have very disciplined principles and usually have limits in betting so that you firmly decide to stop betting when you win and leave gambling for a moment to enjoy the winnings.
this is fun gambling that should be used happily and when we win we should stop and enjoy the winnings and come back again after we have more money.

All those feeling something is just messed up my good feeling especially when all of the bad feeling combined I just want to break things hahaha. You actually very true it really hard to stop when you win especially if you win big and you win after go all in the greed is like trying to take control all over my body haha.

Yes, it is a situation that most gamblers are fooled by their own feelings, they always prioritize satisfaction and one of them is like doing all this again even though basically they have managed to get a win, even though on the other hand the possibility of defeat will continue to exist and lurk them in every situation and condition so that this is the reason or cause why in the end you experience defeat in the sense that all the results at the end of the session do not match what you expected.

So this is the importance of maintaining awareness when you are gambling, the fact is that even if you manage to get a win but on the other hand it is not a really good situation for you if you basically have not succeeded or have not agreed with yourself to cash out, as I said earlier because it is not easy to ignore greed when a gambler is in such a situation. The main point and what can be a solution is that you must be able to apply firmness to consciousness when you are gambling, because with a good level of consciousness then when you manage to get a win you will be able to decide to cash out because you remember that the possibility of losing is still very possible.

Yeah right I thought I only feel that but turned out you and me had same feeling hahaha. But now after I win I just withdraw all my winning money or my initial deposit because it is the cheapest and the safest way to avoid unnecessary loss.

I think you or we cannot rule out the fact that actually happens in gambling where most people or gamblers make gambling a place to earn, or simply they always prioritize winning in every bet, I understand that whoever it is that even though they come just for entertainment but still they will never refuse the name of victory but maybe the difference is that there are some gamblers who are too pushy to win and there are also those who wait with patience and maybe you also already know the two types of gamblers that I mentioned.


The gambler who want to earn money from the gambling site,need to increase their skill in the gambling site.The winning money in the gambling site can be increased based on their ability to make money from the same gambling site.The gambler with huge money mostly consider the gambling as the entertainment,because they doesn’t need any money to make them rich.Because they are rich already,this was the reason the rich gamblers easily increased their skill in the gambling site using their money to gambling site.The gamblers who want to multiple the money mostly take the big risk will leads to the big loss.

It depends on what type of rich gambler you are referring to, because not all gambler with huge bank roll is rich. Most people may have won money in gambling that made them high rollers, yet not rich. The rich people are very few, and not a huge number of them engage into gambling. However, the few of them who are gamblers, don't care about the money anymore. Because, as you said, they are already rich and have some money. But money has no limit, everyone still looks out for more money. And that could differentiate the rich people, into two parts. Those who still want to win big, and the other who don't care about whether they win money or not. Hence, the rich can still be in the side of wanting to win more money. Because human is insatiable. It all has to do with the gambler's thoughts and behavior. Regardless of whether he's rich or not.

I agree with what you said, it's better that you play gambling for fun than you play gambling to make money. It is difficult to make gambling a source of income because we know that there is no certainty in gambling whether you will win or lose. The first thing that will happen to you is that your money will run out, you will become addicted to gambling etc. You will not get rich immediately from gambling always remember that so don't be serious about gambling, just play according to your budget and have fun. It's really tempting when you often win gambling, but you have to control yourself because it's not always like that, it's rare to win big in gambling.
Gambling for fun has always been better as against gambling for the purpose of making money because in the end you don't make good profit if you are not lucky enough, you mostly only break even if you are lucky or in most cases you even end up loosing more money because gambling has never been a sure way of making money as it's always been a 50/50 chances of winning so it's always much better you put your mind to making it just fun rather than hoping to make money from it so you don't get to suffer from losses when they occur.

The problem lays with most gamblers as they don't want to gamble just for fun, they mostly want to make money gambling and that's something that's almost not really possible except with lucky few who happens to make some good money gambling.

I have read a lot of thread on this board talking about the need to gamble responsibly and suggesting that gambling is meant to be done for fun and not to be seen as a means of livelihood. While this is theoretically alright, in the reality so many persons actually gamble because they want to get some financial top up from the gamble.

What is mostly common in my neighborhood and that I mostly do is soccer betting and if I am not exaggerating, 90% of the people that do soccer betting do do because they want to win money.

They can watch the match for fun but as long as it involved them paying money before gambling, most persons don't normally see it as fun and this is the reason why after placing a particular bet, if the game isn't successful they continue betting hoping to get a win along the way thervy being seen as addict.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?

I think we can both benefit from them because when I play just for fun, I enjoy it. But there are also times that, even though my pursuit or intention in gambling is just for fun, there are also times when it is inevitable that I also win by playing gambling.

But for others, of course, it provides benefits because they treat this source of income like a job, although for me, gambling does not really provide a stable income, so I only do it for fun.

Gambling for fun as most gamblers are being advised is just so that in a case of losses the gambler wouldn't feel the impact because he already had it in mind that he may win or he may not win thereby he is willing to accept whatever outcome that surfaces but in a normal sense, almost every one hope to win in their quest to have fun while gambling because only then can the fun be completed because winning is now involved and moreover, regardless of the fact that we ought to gamble for fun, no one would completely be happy that they are playing gambling and incurring too many losses that's just the gospel truth.

When one incurs too many losses in gambling i don't think there is any fun in it anymore.

If they are involved in sports betting then yes maybe I would agree with your idea that they need to improve their skills and knowledge about the world of sports because indeed this is also quite helpful for you to get closer to the possibility of winning but what we should not ignore is that no matter how and where you gamble there is still the possibility of losing, or that means you can never avoid the possibility of losing even if you are very skilled. Yes, it is quite reasonable that it is very unlikely for gamblers who have a rich background to have a mindset of earning in gambling, as you said that they are already in a good financial situation and already have their own way of making money for sure so this is enough to be used as an excuse that most likely the rich make gambling just for leisure time to get entertainment, and this means that the financial situation is enough to influence a person's mindset in terms of addressing gambling, simply put, people who have below average finances are more likely to make gambling a place to earn which is actually a very wrong idea.

Yeah right I thought I only feel that but turned out you and me had same feeling hahaha. But now after I win I just withdraw all my winning money or my initial deposit because it is the cheapest and the safest way to avoid unnecessary loss.
all these feelings are driven by our own thoughts when we are lucky we always think we will definitely win again and try to bet once or twice increasing the bet amount try to get that win but unconsciously we destroy our commitment to gambling enjoying the fun we do and everything changes for the worse when losing several times becomes emotional and ultimately loses all the winnings and the budget we have for the sake wanting to win again.

some assumptions sometimes lead us into behavior that encourages us to do something that beyond our limits and makes us regret at the end of betting session.

On the time that those emotions would be changing on which it did really comes into a point that you are already that trying to cope up with those winnings rather than on making yourself that
entertained or having that enjoyment then this do basically shows that you are already that gradually become addicted to it and this is something that must really be avoided as a gambler.
You can play just for fun but with your aims and hopes are already pertaining about making money then this is already an another story. You are already that getting addicted to it
as you are already that chasing up on playing just for the sake of profit and not for fun anymore on which this something that we do avoid.

The majority of people are gambling for the financial benefit that they expect to get from gambling. In fact, if you check the rapid growth in the gambling industry among youth and if you walk up to them to ask a question with respect to their reasons for getting involved in gambling, you will be amazed by the kind of responses that you will get from them. 
 
Some of the reasons why most people can't see the fun part of gambling are as a result of them being blinded by what they could only get from it, and they get addicted to it as a result of getting too greedy and having too much expectation, which most times means they never get to achieve what they want from gambling.
It's true and that's a fact that is happening now, just like my friends gamble because their goal is to make a profit, they may have fun when gambling but if they experience a loss they are no longer happy with their gambling but instead experience disappointment because they failed to make a profit, gambling for fun It is more preferred for gamblers who are rich because they don't have financial problems because sometimes there are gamblers who have financial problems who actually gamble to be able to improve their situation and hope to win big.

And expectations like that are what cause someone to become addicted and lose control because they are too chasing their ambition to win so they forget about the risks they face, but it doesn't rule out the possibility that all gamblers are like that and only a few have excessive expectations, this is usually caused they see people who win at gambling, which makes them think that it could happen to them someday.

Gambling is supposed to be a game of fun but unfortunately a lot of persons take it to be a source of finance which is logically wrong. Yes gambling arguably can be tempting to be a source of income especially when you tend to make multiple wins consecutively which could make one feel the need to take more days off work since you have become richer at an easier pace. The core reason people should not take gambling as a financial source is because people tend to be very serious when it comes to their finance which of course us their main income source.
Now if gambling becomes a source of income you will tend to gamble more so logically you could win more and most of the time this could end badly and even lead to a nasty addiction in some cases.
I'd take it if that's the case. But the problem is not addiction to winning, it's losing most of the time. We chase our losses or it's like we are being played by a back-and-forth type of gameplay where we win and then we lose again, so the expectation is reaching a point where we think we could win because it was shown to us.
I have not experienced a time where a winning streak happens every day and I don't I will. I mean that is impossible. So, I don't think addiction comes from making profits in gambling but more like the experience of winning but losing it again and then wanting to win it back so we will feel the same joy again that we win against the house.
It's more like a type of addiction of revenge, that's what I think. We want our money back so badly that we will play every day to try and it win it back even though it will cost us time, energy, and money.
If I win in gambling, that means I get to enjoy the profits, but that's not the usual case. Either you get greedy for that extra dollar or you are chasing the losses and because of that you cannot get out and feel the profits of the risk you took.

Expecting profits from gambling is certainly a very wrong thing, but some people do it and expect too much. If the results do not match expectations, in the end we will not profit, we will even lose, instead of being happy we will be sad.
That's right, maybe people see other people's wins and luck when gambling so they have excessive expectations. the fact that someone else is winning is a temptation that drives us to gamble excessively.

One of the reasons that most gamblers put their hopes in gambling is because there is a "chance of winning" in gambling so they put their hopes and beliefs even very high, I understand that this is a big mistake that they do and indeed however putting hope or focusing on the chances of winning is a very wrong action or idea because this will only make them end up with a lot of problems and downfalls. After all, gambling is nothing more than a probability activity which means that it only provides "possibilities" and not "reality", so this is the reason why losing is more common because winning will always depend on luck, and you just have to have whether you want to focus on getting a win with a much opposite risk or in the sense that with a much greater risk of losing, or you gamble naturally and just wait for luck to come by itself that brings you victory. On the other hand, it is true that there are many things that they can indirectly claim as motivation to be crazier in gambling as you said when they see the victory that others have managed to get, they do not think that the people who managed to get the victory they are lucky people, nothing more than that.

Getting motivation when someone is doing great work in any field is a wonderful thing because that makes you work harder and try to become like them, however, when it comes to gambling, getting inspired by watching someone gamble and win is the first step towards disaster because when you see that, you wish that you could do the same and then you make up your mind and start gambling to gain success like them, and what happens next is not unknown to any of us.
So one needs to understand that this temptation to become like others doesn't bring positive changes when it comes to gambling because you don't have luck that matches the luck of another person, and gambling is all about luck and nothing else.

Do we still gamble for fun? Almost all gamblers want to make money from gambling and no one cares again about the risk they are taking just to make money from betting. The fun is when we are betting and asking consistent profits from what we are doing maybe with little amount of bankroll. This is where gambling becomes fun not for someone that has not made any tangible profit from betting.
Betting is two side, either making money or losing money. When we are making money, then we can call it gambling for fun but when we losing maybe we have to tag it gambling for the benefit but there is no benefit yet. Common understand could help us to differentiate this.

They forget so fast that the winner may have gone through months of gambling before he won the money. Players keep winning every day, and some don't, why does it happen? questions that newbie gamblers could be asking, or those seeking for money. But they fail to watch or observe their own game, instead what matters to them is focusing on the wins of other people, wishing to be them. It then pushes the player to gamble against his will. Thereby losing out his own money and not winning many rewards, in terms of profits and what has been wagered. A good gambler removes those thoughts of chasing for wins to be like a gambler who won big on the score boards. Those can distract the gambler, minding our game is the right thing as a gambler.

You are absolutely right, this is similar to when you see a girl and Fall in love, you fall in love with your first sight of your first Impression , why? because it's what he Liked , When you get to know her and start to see what she is like, then you already know other things that you detail, for example it's similar to when you see a girl and you fall in love, you fall in love with your first view of your first impression, why? Why is that what you liked? When you get to know her and begin to see what she is like, then you move on to Other things that you begin to see about the Person and that is where you evaluate whether or not it is appropriate to Stay with her , All of these things are what Makes you Feel like man evaluates , now, this is Analogous to a Casino , if a casino does not present players who have won millions and millions of dollars from Any Person if his Eyes light up, whoever says no is Simply because he is just a Millionaire .

And we are people who eat with our eyes, because we are not going to enter a place where they do not offer us anything good, nor opportunities to win, at least in our children, one realizes that the people only do so if they win, when they share their profits. and the mother who plays, well that is something very beneficial for them, because they see the Transparency of the casino.

In addition, the one that has more marketing impact, obviously that Translates into more media , more audience and much more Community and the more Community there is, the more they play in the casino and the more Contest Opportunities and onos can be opened, that's why That a casino that has very good advertising makes things Different , and there is a lot of competition between some with bulls. In this aspect, it can be said that a person will prefer another casino because they will feel that in the other casinos they play and win more powerful in the other , that is only the most Basic thing that one thinks, there is no complication there is What we are looking for , then this marketing for me is the most powerful tool of all.

Expecting profit from gambling isn't that wrong in it's entirety but then we know it's at some point wrong to want to keep lol your hopes and expectations on gambling profit because it will possible turn against you and you will have nothing to do or say as about it than to just bear it as one of the experiences you get as a gambler.

It's actually wrong to think that because at some point others did gamble and it turned out in their favor so you gamble too nd put all hopes thinking that it will most likely be same for you meanwhile you have almost no idea about how that person were able to get that lucky or how they went about it any that's we know that they do edit fake betting slips and post so as to get attentions to their predictions platforms and gain more followership and community.

Everything will be related to the size of your budget, if you only allocate lower funds for gambling and are not influenced by other financial aspects then your decision to gamble is for fun even though there is still a risk of loss from every gambling but the losses do not have a high impact from a financial aspect you, if you expect profits from gambling, then you will add another budget for gambling to recover losses when you do not accept losses and hope to make a profit from gambling, greed will change your mindset to gamble beyond the capacity of the basic budget for gambling and greed will worsen your finances You are in high losses and you will experience stress when you realize you have lost all your money in gambling.

We know, we also say that gambling is only for fun it's right. But in the end most of the gamblers I assume they do gamble for financial benefits. Once someone gambles for financial benefits and depends on gambling win/lose to livelihood means he is gambling-addicted.
I can't truly just accept the fact that gambling is actually for fun, we lose our money when gambling so meaning we just enjoy wasting our money even if we have nothing to do with it. On the other hand, anyone who actually does it as a means of earning financially to be able to meet up with cost of living is actually becoming an addict.
Gambling is more like investing in some Altcoins, if it happens to give profits fine and if it doesn't also good but we don't also say we rely on our Altcoins investment to carryout expenses on our cost of living.
Sometimes people claim to enjoy gambling even when they lose because they take pride in being a gambler. Usually, they will pretend to be having fun and doing well when with friends, even if they are losing. However, losing money in gambling is not enjoyable because it is a waste of money and does not result in any positive outcome.

The gambler who want to make profit from the gambling site should ready to build their skills in the gambling site.Because many gamblers get into the gambling by considering their bad luck and make the random betting in the gambling site,they keep their bets in the gambling site till he had loss the entire money in the gambling site.The gambler once loss the seventy percent of the capital will started to take the risk to recover the initial capital.But the risk in the gambling site was never guaranteed of profit.So the gambler should accept their loss in the gambling site,finally the gamblers doesn’t worry about the end results.

Publicizing other people's wins at the casino is one of the dealer's tricks to attract the attention of other gamblers to keep playing the gambling game they are playing even though they have lost, but seeing other people's wins is certainly different. Gamblers are motivated to win when they experience it. lucky gamblers and this is definitely in the minds of novice gamblers who initially don't really understand what gambling actually is.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?
In my personal opinion, when you define gambling as a hobby, it cannot be a means to achieve your financial goals. Those are two completely different categories and purposes, which leads to your playing rules will also be different. If it's a hobby, you probably don't need to care about the method or R/R ratio, simply play whatever you like. But on the contrary, when you see gambling as a means to help you achieve your financial goals, you must have clear methods and rules, and more importantly, be disciplined in your gambling.
There are more things you have to comply with if you consider it as a job to make money. Many people think that when they consider gambling as a profession, they will lose the fun of gambling, but for me, I still find joy in my career if we can master it, and Same with gambling. There's nothing better than being able to make money regularly from your own hobbies and passions, and gambling is part of my passion.

Expecting profits from gambling is certainly a very wrong thing, but some people do it and expect too much. If the results do not match expectations, in the end we will not profit, we will even lose, instead of being happy we will be sad.
That's right, maybe people see other people's wins and luck when gambling so they have excessive expectations. the fact that someone else is winning is a temptation that drives us to gamble excessively.
Experienced gamblers by this time understands that you can be keeping your expectations on gambling profits because it's definitely going to disappoint you at some point it's only the excited newbies and a few experienced gamblers who still allow their selves to fall victim of the excitement that comes with the gambling.

Keeping your expectations rather on your job or other sources of income is even much more better because that way you get a very good percentage of certainty as to how well you will be receiving your money and be able to fix yourself before you get disappointed keeping your hope and expectations on gambling. Most gamblers still make this mistake and that's why they still feel disappointed when they happen to loose money because they have refused to understand that they can't be keeping their Hopes on gambling profit which they are still having in expectations.

Sometimes people claim to enjoy gambling even when they lose because they take pride in being a gambler. Usually, they will pretend to be having fun and doing well when with friends, even if they are losing. However, losing money in gambling is not enjoyable because it is a waste of money and does not result in any positive outcome.

It's hard to say I can still have fun when I lose at gambling. Especially if the money is more than $30, but I can say that my gambling losses have no effect when I lose only $9 or less. From here, it will come to a point how I can have fun and how I can't feel that way when I lose. So, there is need a limit point that gamblers must be able to reach if they want to stay on the path of "gambling for fun".

I think it's among the reason why most casinos publish the big wins of their players. Such results also attract gamblers to look for more and try to win like the other player. They forget so fast that the winner may have gone through months of gambling before he won the money. Players keep winning every day, and some don't, why does it happen? questions that newbie gamblers could be asking, or those seeking for money. But they fail to watch or observe their own game, instead what matters to them is focusing on the wins of other people, wishing to be them. It then pushes the player to gamble against his will. Thereby losing out his own money and not winning many rewards, in terms of profits and what has been wagered. A good gambler removes those thoughts of chasing for wins to be like a gambler who won big on the score boards. Those can distract the gambler, minding our game is the right thing as a gambler.

Publicizing other people's wins at the casino is one of the dealer's tricks to attract the attention of other gamblers to keep playing the gambling game they are playing even though they have lost, but seeing other people's wins is certainly different. Gamblers are motivated to win when they experience it. lucky gamblers and this is definitely in the minds of novice gamblers who initially don't really understand what gambling actually is. However, perhaps only a few experienced gamblers have thoughts like that because they understand very well that winning cannot be predicted in gambling.
I've witnessed casinos highlighting wins, a typical gambling ploy. A psychological play, plain and simple. They're hoping victory would overshadow defeat. This is a huge distraction for novices. These wins make them ask, "Why not me?" Gambling is about the odds, always in the house's advantage, not the occasional wins.

Personally, I like the truth. Instead of lowering spirits, arm yourself with knowledge. Gambling is unpredictable, yet seeing a win can boost your adrenaline. Veteran gamblers realize that success stories dont guarantee their own. Enter this arena with open eyes. Know the game, respect the odds, and step back.

Exactly, everything is very likely to change over time, no matter if you have the goal of gambling for entertainment or pleasure because in the end it is very possible for you to really no longer be able to feel pleasure and entertainment, pleasure will turn into tension and some pressure when your interest in gambling increases. Many gamblers experience this scenario where over time they experience a change in mindset and perspective, on the other hand one of the reasons is because there are so many things that look tempting in gambling, not everyone can ignore this kind of temptation and most of them fall into it and experience changes slowly and unconsciously. The mindset of gambling for fun can change to gambling to earn, everyone needs money and when they manage to get a tidy sum of winnings then that's where the perspective and mindset can change which is possible for you to eventually consider that gambling "can be more profitable". This is why we really need to apply firmness to our inner consciousness, if for no other reason than to prevent such changes.

Now a days gambling was mostly playing in the opinion to make money,the expectation hurts.It was the old phenomenon applied to the all the field,So the gamblers who play the gambling for the fun can able to make the money.

The greedy game was the second opportunity for the loss of funds,because the gambling was not the easy game like the other game in the world.The gamblers using their money to make the money,the greedy people use to multiple their money in gambling site without any limitations.

The gambler who making money again and again in the gambling site will have their fun along with their money earning.But the gambler who makes mistakes in the gambling should try to not repeat the same mistake in the next games to avoid of loss again.

For better and more controlled gambling, as well as to maintain balance in our lives and finances. and if we consider that gambling is just a form of entertainment and is played just to get pleasure. So we have to know and have a scale of priorities, and I am sure whether they are married or even not married at all, all individuals have their own responsibilities and obligations, whether it is responsibility for the work they are currently working on, responsibility to their family or to self. And someone who is wise enough cannot possibly place pleasure and entertainment above the responsibilities and obligations they are carrying out. "If someone already has a priority scale, and is able to put things in their proper place, then that person will be able to control the gambling activities they carry out well, so that the gambling activities will not become an inhibiting factor, which can affect their life and financial balance.

Totally agree with you! Gambling should be fun, but it's easy to get caught up in the financial side. I've been into soccer betting myself, and it's tempting to chase losses. Setting clear limits is key. Recently discovered top Pay By SMS Casinos (https://casinosanalyzer.com/online-casinos/sms), and it's a game-changer. The convenience of SMS payments makes the whole gambling experience smoother for me. Now I can focus on the fun without the payment hassle.

Actually, you can.

When you have won your bets and it's your lucky day, don't you want to enjoy that temporarily? I think that's the term there, you can enjoy but it is temporary pleasure and benefit.

But in the long run, you have to realize that it is not the stability that you want to have and we all know about that in gambling. The financial benefit is there but it is limited. However, fun is unlimited depending on how you look good and bad endings.

And expectations like that are what cause someone to become addicted and lose control because they are too chasing their ambition to win so they forget about the risks they face, but it doesn't rule out the possibility that all gamblers are like that and only a few have excessive expectations, this is usually caused they see people who win at gambling, which makes them think that it could happen to them someday.

You can hope but you also have to accept defeat because losing is part of the gambling game and if they hope to always win then that is impossible to happen.

Seeing other people's wins can sometimes provoke someone to continue gambling and hope that their are like those who win that gambling, even though that's if you're lucky, if you're not lucky then you won't be able to get it because gambling is a game of luck so it's better to use gambling to have fun, you can hope to win but you also have to accept whatever the end result is whether you win or lose because it's just a game.

And being lucky is something that wouldnt really be known by someone and this is something that they would really be forcing themselves on becoming one. This is the main reason
on why gamblers do really messed up their lives just because they are really that playing gambling for money and not for fun.We cant really be able to deny about this reality on which we know that

It would be always best on having this kind of approach rather than on minding always about making money. This is why it would be always

Their desire become strong more strong than before but they don't realize the changes. They still want to playing gambling and no sign to stop very soon.

If a player needs confirmation that he is lucky and he is looking for it in gambling, this is not the best thing to do, it would be better if he looked for it on a demo account where he does not need to risk his money ;)

But many want to please their vanity and play again and again until they lose, but even this does not stop them, they will take a break for a while to find money and continue with the thought that there is very little left to win (classic). I still prefer to play without focusing on luck. I like to strike a balance between having fun and testing some of my predictions in the sport I enjoy. And honestly, I will continue to do this for a long time, because this is a kind of entertainment for me. Gambling should be used for pleasure and fun, and not to blindly chase luck.

Yeah.

You'll not know if you're lucky and you'll only be able to determine that when you've gambled. By the time that you're winning then that's already you'd say that you're lucky.

Other than that, when you gamble and the results are terrible then that figures it out that you're in no means of being lucky and that's why it's up to you whether you'd consider that as something fun.

But we all knew that most are gambling for money too.

Someone who playing gambling using demo account will not experiencing big losses because he use fake money to gamble and don't risk his money. He can enjoy playing gambling using fake money and will not think about the losing money and the best is using demo account can give him a pleasure and fun. He will free of the risk of losing his money using demo account but not many people want to use demo account because they think that demo account can't give fun or thrill as the real mode. That made many people still like to use real mode to playing gambling because there is a challenge for them to win or lose their money but they will have their risk using real mode.

We can't risk too much money when we gamble because we know that gambling is not a way to earn money. We must always limit our gambling activities to prevent the big losses. Although many people still using much money to gamble, it is our responsibility to always take care our money. We should choose gambling for fun rather than gambling for financial benefit because we will not remember how to use gambling properly.

I agree it's really stupid to think of financial benefits from gambling there is no guarantee that you will make money from it. Chasing money will become an addiction. Many people lose control of their lives while gambling and their entire lives are filled with problems because of this behavior. Leaving all the important activities of life they only look for gambling opportunities and immerse themselves in gambling. Should be played through fun if fun don't worry about any financial loss.

Accepting loss is something that every gambler must be able to do so that they will never think about recovering from their losses because that is something that is not easy to achieve, especially when we play gambling which is full of uncertainty. He should be able to use gambling as entertainment and also not to think much about winning because he knows that there will come a time when he can win. And when the win does come to him, he will just assume that it is a bonus for him so he will not be interested in chasing another win. Playing gambling for fun is the initial goal of every gambler and it is their duty to maintain their initial goal rather than having to change their goal to chasing win.

Chasing the win is the hardest part to reach for the gamblers. They need to spend more money but that doesn't guarantee to recover the loss. It's why they must be able to take care their money and not deposit more and more money to gamble.

Two benefits could be derived from gambling which are the money and the fun, well, I do not 100% go against the gamblers that would be fixed with the money making in gambling, after all, it's part of why people gamble. But what I do not like is for them to be desperate about the money they want to make. Desperation is bad both in gambling and outside gambling, it can push you into what you wouldn't want to do, which is the bad side of it. It is only so bad and rampant in gambling because of the informal nature of gambling, but not necessarily mean that those who are seeking money through gambling cannot do well if they properly manage their account and mindset towards it.

It's about you win or you lose, but when you are so good at what you do, you get to win more than you lose, and you will still be happy. But the desperation of this is not making gamblers think rightly, that would cloud their decision because they are already emotional and desperate for the money. For this, it is bad to avoid the view of money if you can't control yourself in gambling, or else, you will lose your money, and that is if it doesn't make you miserable in addition to that. But for those who see it as fun, they can get the best out of it and even if they win since they will be happy and only consider it as an added advantage, instead of believing that it is a means to get them rich.

Gamblers face too many challenges during any gambling session. Many therapists have mentioned that no gambler is immune to addiction, due to the constant change or challenges coming up while gambling, hence we all need to forget about chasing money or seeing gambling as a venture for financial freedom. Nothing is wrong in being a moderate gambler. The point of earning huge amount of money from gambling moves around the brain of any player who has been into gambling for a long period of years. This thought is generated from the common issues people have with gambling, loss of money. Was discussing with a friend and he mentioned that he is going to win huge amount of money some day through gambling. I didn't say a word, because it's achievable, but when, and how long would it take? that is not certain. So, what keeps lots of gamblers in the game is the big win day. That thought removes the need to safeguard their fundings, they wager too hard just to hit the jackpot, forgetting that the funds belong to the house.

That's right, if a gambler can accept when he loses, maybe he will enjoy every gambling game he plays. On the one hand, he uses gambling as an entertainment activity and if he is lucky then it is considered a good bonus for him.
If gamblers can do this kind of behavior, I don't think they will suffer much loss because they have boundaries and a clear mind and when they have to stop, stop immediately.
Accepting loss is something that every gambler must be able to do so that they will never think about recovering from their losses because that is something that is not easy to achieve, especially when we play gambling which is full of uncertainty. He should be able to use gambling as entertainment and also not to think much about winning because he knows that there will come a time when he can win. And when the win does come to him, he will just assume that it is a bonus for him so he will not be interested in chasing another win. Playing gambling for fun is the initial goal of every gambler and it is their duty to maintain their initial goal rather than having to change their goal to chasing win.

Chasing the win is the hardest part to reach for the gamblers. They need to spend more money but that doesn't guarantee to recover the loss. It's why they must be able to take care their money and not deposit more and more money to gamble.

By accepting the defeat we suffered at that time, in my opinion it was good behavior and the right step so the aim was so that we would not continue gambling there anymore, and think about just going home immediately to calm our unstable minds. is something we have to do. This is done by gamblers when they have lost.

However, the fact is that we often encounter gamblers who are greedy and addicted, so of course they will never take the steps above, in fact they will still be there to continue gambling in order to chase losses.

When we loss for some time, we realize that it's the time to stop gambling before our money runs out. We don't want to see it as that is not our reason playing gambling. We will leave the casino immediately after the loss and will not take look back to avoid the desire to recover losses.

We will not follow the other gamblers who still want to recover their loss because that will be the same as to receive another loss. We will try to forget the loss without hesitant as we know that gambling is just for fun. Yeah, those gamblers will not doing the same as what we do because they want to playing gambling to recover their loss.

As far as I can understand if a person is interested in gambling then he must not do it for financial gain as that is something that destroys people once in a while. So if one wants to gamble then he must gamble for fun because it is fun and may bring good benefits but life may not be risky.

So no matter how much of a gambler a person is if he plays for fun then he can always stay away from these platforms and keep himself calm.

Being able to accept the responsibility that the lost money isn't going to come back soon, helps a gambler not to go for the lost money. Instead, it makes the gambler to observe closely on the game and begin to enjoy the process. As he'd win some time while on the game. Chasing on the lost money is like panic gambling, where the gambler doesn't possess any control over his actions. Gambling for fun is way too better than going for money. Why then do gamblers have a job or business? The casino is a place of fun and engagement, communicating with other gamblers in the vicinity. Some try to talk to us about their strategies or where we are getting it wrong in the game. Players who tend to revenge like Zuzie said, are not quite good gamblers. And they end up very sad and upset over gambling. Most of them brought the bad publicity moving around the society on gambling. Although the responsible players still exist, but the society now tag everyone as addicted due to the bad act of those who have the intention of taking revenge on the house. As if it's a world fight.

Gambling losses are part of prudent play, and I believe in that. Accepting defeat without trying to regain it is a major gambler's development. Few acquire clarity, which many seek. Being mature enough to realize that gambling is about the experience, not the outcome.

Chase losses leads to further despair, as I've witnessed. Left the table and didnt look back is a bold statement against loss and despair. We stand out by choosing well-being over transient rewards. We defend our financial integrity and our essential nature by keeping gambling a source of delight, not regret.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?
I would still consider gambling as fun even though I know we are still expecting from the betting winnings, but we must realize that this should not be a financial goal, if you still have a monthly salary why expect financially from gambling? If you gamble then think of it as fun.

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?
The important thing is not much of your entire income, such as a small percentage of 5% then I think it will not cause problems for you, if more than 50% I believe you will expect too much from gambling because with the remaining 50% money it will not be enough to cover your expenses.
You're right that regardless of whether someone is gambling for financial Gain or just for fun, the risks involved are still the same, but what I don't know is if the perceived benefits are also the same or if people feel like there's a difference when it comes to the satisfaction they get from gambling to make gain or for fun.
What's more important is that, whether for fun or for gain, one should fully realize what he's getting himself into, whichever it is, you'll still need to manage risk and always remember to risk what you can afford to lose

So no matter how much of a gambler a person is if he plays for fun then he can always stay away from these platforms and keep himself calm.

I always advise adhering to the following tactics in gambling (and of course I adhere to them myself):

1) You need to understand how much you spend on entertainment - cafes, restaurants or cinema. And from here we can try to understand what weekend deposit we can allocate for gambling, while depriving ourselves of other entertainment. Do you understand? Gambling should be considered as one of these entertainments, and the budget for gambling should not be a separate item.

2) Treat this money as if you had already lost it, do not count on winning, but instead play and have fun, testing your luck.

3) Winning should be a pleasant addition and not the main goal of gambling.

Accepting the loss is not easy because it needs practices to make gamblers can easily accept it. Yes, they need to have responsibility to control themselves in gambling and know playing gambling have a risk of losing the money. If they can enjoy the process of the learning, they will see that playing gambling is no need to use too big money because gambling is just for fun that they can used in their free time. That is the reason gambling for fun and not chasing the winning because that will not easy for the gamblers. They can calm down when they lose some money and will not think to recover their losses because they know that is the risk that they should accept. They will even limits their gambling activity and prevents the big loss because once they lose, they will have an intention to recover their money and that will not be good for them.

Gambling losses is a risk for gamblers and they should realize that. With that risk, they should think that they don't have to use gambling for making money but only use gambling as a way to have fun. If they are getting losing streak, they can think that is the time for them to stop gambling for a while and not consider to recover their losses.

Chasing leads will give more losses and that can make them stresses because they can get their money back. Yes, that will difficult for them to get their money back because gambling can't gives them the chance to make money. We need to leave the loss right away so we don't think much about recovering the money.

Yes, as a gambler, we need to learns how to becomes a wise gambler so we can used gambling properly and not used as sources of income. Using gambling for fun is the right thing that we must do and to prevents the other problems that can occurs anytime. A wise gambler can takes a look around at the situations and can thinks clear about what they must do. They will not follows their ego to still playing gambling because that can gives them a big trouble that they can't afford. That's why every gamblers should aware every time they gamble and always take cares themselves by always limiting and controlling their gambling activity.

all these feelings are driven by our own thoughts when we are lucky we always think we will definitely win again and try to bet once or twice increasing the bet amount try to get that win but unconsciously we destroy our commitment to gambling enjoying the fun we do and everything changes for the worse when losing several times becomes emotional and ultimately loses all the winnings and the budget we have for the sake wanting to win again.

some assumptions sometimes lead us into behavior that encourages us to do something that beyond our limits and makes us regret at the end of betting session.

Yeah I don't know why but that felling is happening to me like every time hahahha Today I blackjack and win like 3 Times and I thinks that is enough but I do bet again and lost 4 times damn it hhahha.

But is part of the game right. I think today is enough maybe I should tried my luck in another day haha

Recognizing the gaming trap is smart and survival-like. The idea of control when none exists is a typical fallacy. Many are destroyed by it. Probabilities are against gamblers. House always wins, right?

We must accept losses and not chase them. Financial stability isn't everything; comprehending life's cycles is. Wisdom goes beyond gaming. Every facet of existence must be reconciled with loss. Strategic retreat, not surrender. Maintaining self-respect, sanity, and resources for winning wars. Walking away to fight another day on your own terms can be bravest

Until you get a loss of more than 4x and even lose profits from these wins and also your initial capital.

I have also felt that, it is difficult to control yourself from the game that has been done, because it does not follow the rules that have been made by myself.
From here, we learn how important it is to pause when you have already won and think more clearly before entering the game again.

Yes, that's right, an idea like that will appear in the mind of a gambler who already has a greedy nature because he is very optimistic and appears more confident that he can win the game. But he doesn't realize that it is the host who has the power to determine whether he will win or lose.

Your suggestions and input are very correct, that we as gamblers must be able to accept if we lose and lose the money we have and limit our finances only to gambling, not chasing wins and not chasing to recover losses, this is the right step to take. consistently. for gamblers.

 What I know that is bad is when you gambles and take it as a source of income, and with a money you can't afford to lose, those are the terrible aspect of gambling, and no matter what, you don't take it as a source of income, besides if you can gambles with only what you can afford to lose, then their is no way you will get addicted to it.

Many gamblers experienced that so we must prevent it before we regret it. Gambling for fun will be better than gambling for financial benefit because we know that gambling will not gives much winning to us and even we can loss much money. We don't have to think about recovering our loss because that will not easy and we can loss more money. However, we must have self-control to hold our emotion increase and only used gambling for fun.
Gambling for fun are mostly for people that have secured good paying jobs outside gambling. We fight everyday to feed ourselves and that should always be our priority, to beat financial struggles. The emotions gambling is balance but we should be more secure on earning quite significant results in the system. Anyone that depends on gambling will never meet the full peak of gaining financial freedom in the space. The duty of gambling comes with unfavorable results and its advisable we do according to our budgets. Maintain a strong ground and ensure you don't lack the big winnings coming ones way.

Of course you are right, only those who have no shortage of money play gambling for fun. There are many families who have to struggle to earn a handful of rice and many people are wasting crores of rupees by gambling for fun. Those who gamble for fun will one day become so strong in gambling that there will be nothing left to do.  Addictive gambling is very harmful to people. Gambling can never bring peace in one's life. Gambling is fun to play and sometimes people become so addicted to the touch that losing cash sometimes makes them almost destitute. So everyone should be careful from gambling because I have seen the reality that many people have become destitute by gambling so no one's life can turn around beautifully by gambling.

Well, It becomes harmful to a person if they insist on gambling even if they don't have money to use for their necessities, so many people make gambling a source of income because some of them don't have a good job, haven't been educated so they can't find a good job to work. Gambling is the only way they see to earn money but they only get into more trouble every time they lose in the game. They just make it the reason that they can enjoy themselves while gambling but the truth is, they are afraid every time they place a bet.

The problem is that when a person has no job, or is not educated, if he gambles and thinks that he will make money, he is mistaken. Because they  lose money they are able to earn money by gambling never. So they should not play such gambling, there are many jobs in the world, they can work in that job and manage their family. Because if people of such family get addicted to gambling, if they lose money once, they are desperate to get that money back. It can be seen that they start losing money by playing gambling consecutively, so it is never right for them to gamble for their own sake for the sake of their family. Gambling can never bring happiness and peace in one's life. Gambling has made many people destitute and it has become difficult to manage their families. I have seen with my own eyes that many families have lost cash due to gambling and left their families destitute. So it is better for everyone to stay away from this type of tide so that their family will be better.
