I don't think I would gamble if there is no chance to get profit, it would undermine the whole purpose of inducing thrill on the gambler and that hooking up feeling so many people want to have while rolling dices or spinning slots.
Even though, we all know we are supposed to gamble just for amusement or fun, it is not a contradiction to also have a little chance to have profits, because someone as a responsible gambler can set their mind before gambling to the fact they could end up losing all their wager and still have a good session.
If there was no chance of profit then the experience would not be better than playing some fake-money casino games, like those I used to play when I was a child, on the Game Boy advance, for example. It was all fake money, but still it was fun.
In the case we talk about here, it would be the same but losing actual money constantly. No thank you. I would rather to find some game boy around and win virtual tokens.
this is why a lot of players are getting hooked with gambling because of the mere thought of the possibility of hitting big, right? so that's the very reason why a lot are into this addictive activity. they are trying their luck over and over again for the hope that one day, they will hit the jackpot. because if there's no chance of such winnings, i don't think many people will get involved in this activity.
a perfect example is the lottery. we all know that hitting that thousands of dollars or million-dollar reward is such once in a lifetime opportunity or one in a million chance to happen. and yet, many people are still buying their lotto tickets everyday of their life. some are buying their tickets everyday without fail, betting those numbers again and again for years or decades. so what can you deduce from such situation? even if the chance is very very slim, if there is a possibility to hit big, people will try to get the share of the pie by buying the tickets in their lifetime.
The fact gambling is entertaining is exactly due to the possibility of making profit through this activity. If you remove the chance of making profit entirely, it's not going to be funny anymore for most gamblers, otherwise, most people would play demo mode or free gambling apps from playstore, instead of playing at the real casino platforms. And by saying that, I don't mean people play solely for the chance of making money. There is a set of elements involved, anyway, which make this activity rewarding, even when losing on long term.
For many people it's hard to understand this reasoning, but I believe if they put themselves on more wealthy gamblers, they would understand. Those gamblers aren't playing because they are in urge for money or profit. But they like the idea of playing and having a chance to earn money. If they lose, however, it's not going to be the end of the world, because money isn't an issue for them. So they will leave the casino with less money on their pockets than they came in, but they will also leave satisfied for having some fun while playing the games, interacting with other gamblers, having some drinks or meals.
We don't need to exclude one factor from gambling to remain solely with another. Both (chance of profit and fun) are complementary.
that is a very good explanation why high rollers exist in this game. so they already have money in their pockets, and yet, why they are going to this activity? the fun/entertainment they are getting here is quite inconvertible with money plus with the hope of winning, hence, why these high rollers are here.
without the fun and possibility of winning, i don't think this will be attractive to rich gamblers.
just think of drake betting multi-million dollars in a single game. why do you think he keeps on doing such activity? he already has millions and yet, he is still trying his luck to multiply it? just goes to show that he is getting satisfaction out of it, enjoying the match esp if he is rooting for someone and at the same time, the possibility of growing his money multiple times.
