Voted for the second option: Enjoy.
After many years of participating in gambling games, I learned to enjoy the game regardless of the result of the game. I realized for myself that I can’t go all-in and spend an amount on a bet that I will regret and suffer from the consequences. Now I only play for small amounts that I don’t mind to lose and treat it like a ticket to an attraction and the main task is to have fun, this is no longer about hunting for a big win.

We can still advise the person not to get too deep into gambling, especially if he can feel the consequences because he has experienced it before. He should also be able to realize that what he did was wrong and must be corrected by not doing it again. Maybe he will find it difficult to immediately stop his gambling activities so he can try to reduce his gambling activities first while trying to do other things that can divert his mind. If they can do this, they can reduce their gambling activities and will not be too dependent on gambling to get pleasure because they already have other things that can give them pleasure. Moreover, he can save his money to use it for other needs or just save it for the future.

I don't believe the experts.Gambling is largely based on luck and chance, but there are some strategies that can improve your chances of winning. No one can predict gambling outcomes with 100% accuracy. Although some experts may have a good understanding of the games, they are not able to predict the outcome with certainty. Gambling is a form of entertainment, it is your personal decision whether you choose to seek advice from gambling experts or not, but it is always wise to gamble within your means and not rely solely on expert opinions.

Indeed, it's really hard to resist the temptation of doing gambling. Gamblers will always find a way to gamble. Actually, the big reason why these gamblers always come back to gamble is because of the experience they felt when they won. They want to feel that experience over and over again that's why even these gamblers already losing a lot, they will still push their desire to have that winning experience again.

Because they want to feel that big experience again, they don't realized how much money they are losing now.

Even some non addicted gamblers find it very difficult not to gamble in a day even when they have self control over gambling and they are also on a losing streak. In gambling, any one who finds certain things to be very interesting there by making him to find it difficult not to stop gambling is already addicted to gambling. I bet you that most gamblers don't even keep record of their wins nor their losses even though some claim to be having good records. Do you know how many things some gamblers gamble in a day ? Will they have the courage to keep keeping daily record of their losses when it will affect them emotionally I think addiction happens when someone is already committed to doing a certain thing regardless of a positive and a negative outcomes.

There are people who are really that sensitive into those words that they might be able to hear around and there are ones who dont really care on what others been saying as long they have
done or do something on the things that they do like. We do know that when it comes to gambling then people would really be having that negative approach and views into it on which it isnt really that shocking anymore that negativity would be always there. Its true that it would really be just fine if those words could be heard from your loved ones or relatives but if it goes from other people
then you might be having those reactions which you might be ending up on having some argumentations but actually it isnt really that much of an issue as long you do
find yourself playing gambling just for fun.

Here's the thing buddy, don't be mad at your friend because he didn't return your money. Imagine you're losing all $10 on that bet and you will be left with nothing. Whatever happens, happens for a good reason. Now you have made $50 from $1 and you still have the $10 in your hand. In total, you can spend $60 later on.
Take everything positively. Maybe one day that friend will come handy just because you lend him $10 in his difficult situation. Do favor to other people and you will get the favor back 10 times.
Be happy with your winning and always bet minimum amount. You will be able to play more and lose less.

Those of us who gamble should be able to get pleasure from gambling, but somehow, it makes us lose direction by using more and more money just because we want to chase the wins we previously got. The goal of having fun is easily replaced by the desire to win again when that won't always happen. We become more greedy after getting the previous win, making us willing to use all the money in our gambling account. We don't remember that we should have had enough of gambling, so we have to finish it immediately before we run out of all the money. And it's true that if we say we're having fun gambling but we run out of money, it's the same as lying to ourselves. And I've experienced it before.

All gambling is an act of risk taking actually, and for the problem of high or low risk that will be taken it all depends on the willingness of each gambler, sometimes there are also many of those who are not able to take responsibility for high risk but instead take / do it and usually they are people who are quasi-emotional. The realization that gambling is just an activity for profit will only exist in the mind of someone who understands what gambling really is along with some of the opportunities and possible risks that are there, on the other hand it is very clear as I said above that they pretend to be able to take high risks when all decisions are out of emotion due to the pressure of previous defeats, and I would call them gamblers who do not have the responsibility and correct understanding of gambling, it is very clear that we can conclude this from the approach they take.

Usually the terms and conditions of gambling sites are written in incomprehensible language. Moreover, because there is so much written on various subjects, it naturally becomes boring to read. I think no gambler reads the conditions offered by the casino from the beginning to the end. But I don't think it's important for all. Because some conditions are almost same. If a gambler follows certain rules and then gambles then he will not have any major problem. But if a gambler is gambling by following the rules 100% then it is definitely better for him to do so. Gamblers may have less patience than others. Because when they bet, they only think about that bet and they don't have the mentality to think about anything else.

A gambler who enters a casino for profit is the most likely to fail, everything is known that a casino is not a charitable organization that the more money they give you Deposits they will make the Investor that account grow , that's what What they are Looking for is to win , and not make people lose, it is something normal that companies always have to do Things to Generate money in other ways, for example when you have things in the world like a casino that I said offers many options. to win with the bonuses, if there are any , but it is Known that the casinos do not launch Anything Without having first studied the fact that they are going to win more than they will lose , that is Something they have to see, that is why when a player settles in a casino He takes Everything into Account or makes him Win , taking into Account that if he loses more , then he gets angry.

A person who believes that he is going to make a lot of money in a Casino is most likely to lose all his wealth, because he is going Through the motions, already living with mental stress, and that makes him feel in the Middle of the game Because he loses , it's Simple , it's the Emotions that are that they play.

It’s common for a player to hope for the best, we all want to hope for that, don’t we? But in reality this does not happen and it turns out that we are deceiving ourselves by entering the game again and again. Of course, there are many who would rather not enter the game, because it will shake their nerves so much that they won’t want to do anything else in life, their nerves will be destroyed or permanent depression will arise. These are very serious problems and many people think that this will happen to anyone, but only to him. I want to say that you should always feel how much the game affects your sleep and wallet. If there is nothing from this, then it is obvious that you can’t play anymore.

There's no such thing on this world to have that unlimited fund, this is why i do highly believe that even if you are a rich person, you arent that exempted when it comes to bankruptcy due to too much gambling on which we know on how fast or swift gambling results could be on which outcomes could really be that just a blink of an eye on which means that no matter how big your money is
or having that income source.It would really be just that easy to deplete out the money you do have with gambling. Its not an income source but rather it is really just that made for
entertainment. It is really just people do go into the opposite side of things.

You won't say it is not possible because humans act and react to issues differently. It might not work for you but it might be the best solution for someone else. I have seen drug addicts who are permitted to take lesser addictive drugs to help them gradually quit drugs. Some therapists might recommend marijuana for a heroine or cocaine addict. Gradually it might be reduced to cigarettes until the person fully gains control over his life. So I believe gamblers can quit gradually. Maybe one can gradually reduce the amount and time he spends on casinos and this could help to curb excessive gambling.

A person may have different preferences. It is not just that he becomes addicted to gambling if he is alone. Because not everyone has the same addiction. I think they have a habit of doing that when they are alone. Accordingly a gambler may choose gambling to spend his idle time. But it is not the case that he will become a gambling addict if he is alone. Gamblers must take steps on their own to get rid of any addiction. If alone he indulges in all those addictive activities then he must be with others. Self-awareness should be kept by oneself otherwise it would be difficult to get rid of addiction.

Well, actually I really understand what you said in this thread. however, it seems there is a different meaning and essence between me and you. first of all, I want to say first, what I said does not mean I am comparing. so, please understand. the title of your thread, is really very interesting to me. I will quote him, "Gambling for fun, is it a lie that we tell ourselves?". there is a big question that you seem to be struggling with, especially regarding gambling and the idea of ​​having fun. at this point, many people actually have the same questions as you think. however, both you, me, we, have different definitions regarding what gambling is. first, what does pleasure mean to you? so, what does this have to do with the gambling you do? you can answer it, but keep your answer to yourself. for me, pleasure has a broad meaning depending on how I respond to it and condition it to the situation and conditions. now, what is gambling to you? for me, gambling is expensive entertainment and contains a lot of risk. then, what allows us to have fun and get pleasure. yeah, the answer depends on each individual.

So you see, the idea of ​​having fun doesn't have to be what you mean in the title of this thread and neither does what you say in this post. before we gamble, either you or I, must first spend capital as a medium for playing and betting. at this point, you are willing and aware to do it. the question is, are you thinking about something bad instead of having fun? Of course it's not like that. besides, it doesn't mean that with the idea of ​​having fun we don't expect to win. as you said, even if you say it seems like we are lying to ourselves and this is where the difference lies. pleasure doesn't have to be winning, even in situations where you lose, you can learn lessons in the form of pleasure. for example, I bet on Arsenal "football" a team that is my favorite. then, the fact is that Arsenal lost the match.  meaning, I also lost. however, because Arsenal played the game very well, neatly and impressively, I enjoyed it even though they lost. even though I lost, psychologically I got the game I wanted and the results from the bets I made. and this, is a form of pleasure. so each gambler can define his own pleasure, and it depends on how he reacts to it. so, we don't need to lie to ourselves. regarding winning or losing, isn't that part of the risk of gambling? well, enjoy it according to your own version.
