I gamble for fun but obviously my main target is always to try & win money. I never gamble with large amounts though so I guess I always have fun even if I lose Smiley
Me too, before I go in gambling site or gambling places I want to increase my capital and get some profit but my true purpose is for fun. This is because I don't want to lose too much and I'm not addicted in gambling. Additionally, I want an enjoyment than stress. Because even I win more I know that no good result may happen not this time but in the future. No benefits will get in gambling, in the end they turn to nothing.

Every gambler have a mind set to play gambling for profit wise, but nothing bad in it, if anyone want to play gambling only for fun wise. But the number is more than who want to play gambling to increase the capital and that is true. Perhaps, the richest gambler will get full of fun and entertainment from gambling, because they don't need money and they are not in this race who have purpose to increase their capital like me.

basically, gambling is an entertaining activity, but it has become an addiction in recent years, for me, it is it should have been fun not for making a profit, I strongly believe that gambling is totally dependent on luck so it cannot be a profit-making sector. but if you are a lucky person then you can get some profit from gambling...

Yes, for more than 50% of the people who turn to gambling for fun will get addicted into it and then will be thinking of selling or mortgaging everything they have for this addiction, they will be in an illusion that they will win big one day and what they have is nothing.

While there are lots of news that this is hoax but quite possible.

if you your main purpose is to play gambling for making money, then how can you say that you are playing gambling for fun. in fact you are investing your money not for fun bot for money only, because your main aim is to make money.

I gamble to win, big or small is okay. Because it's so much better than throwing it away for house.
I'm very surprised that you do not want to spend your money on your house. Is gambling a better pleasure than aesthetic pleasure from the fact that you are surrounded at home?
I think more that 99% people play gambling for making money but some of the people pretend that they play it for fun and enjoyment. in fact no one want to put their money in risk. but they want to make money in gambling.to me as  I have so many other ways of getting fun and enjoyment, so why should  put my money in risk just for getting fun and enjoyment.

To answer your question, there are many kinds of people - some finds gambling as very entertaining because of the thrill of playing it with their money, some prefers not to gamble with their money because they just cant stand the risk of it, and some play gambling just for networking other potential business partners.

The main aim is to make some profit, but there's some fun involved too - some people like the moment when you're about to place a bet with the hope to win, and it's a good feeling when that happens

I'd recomend you to play only for fun and not for profit, because if you will play for profit only you might get addicted to gambling soon, while if you gamble for fun only you won't be. It's like basketball players, they play basketball for fun, it's their hobby and for that they also get money, you should think of gambling in same way, fun activity, just that you might get money from it

Nice analogy there mate. If this is our way of mind setting, we wont get into trouble with gambling because we are not after for money but just fun - no stress only fun! And if we win, that will be an added bonus for us, cheers! Wink
that's never be easy to do exactly like what you said , once you have got a nice winning you wouldn't feel necessary to gamble for other purpose but for profit. and then when you get a lost moment no wonder you would keep looking for your winning moment , that time gambling could make you to do something crazy, you have got addicted.

I'm in 400,000 euros debt , dont help me , i rather die

im gambling for profit because there is no point of risking my own money just for fun no one become happy when they lose their money

There is something else that you can risk your money for and that is for fun. It is much more fun to risk something like your money , without risking money it wont be as fun as it is. When we risk something like money especially when it is hard to get, the pleasure of winning will be very high as well as when we lose that is why play with a small amount only
This is a good suggestion to play with a small amount instead of huge amounts which after a loss can affect your life more badly.
I guess it will be the best to play with a little portion of your pocket money. if it is lost in the gambling you will not be greatly affected and it will be a bearable loss for you so you will not be hurt much emotionally as well.

That is true when you play with the little amount of money, you only need not worry when you lost the game, you also is having fun and entertained a lot with gambling. No sweat, no stress, and no disappointment. Just stick to it and never get lured from betting more.

It would be wrong to say that I gamble only for fun as every time i gamble i always have an hope of making some good profits but generally that doesn't happen so I gamble for both fun and profits.
Yes, this is true there are number of people with their personal likes and interests, for some gambling is just a fun for some it is a mean to earn money for the living and for some both.
Everyone has his own pursue of going to the casino regarding the need of the individual, for me gambling is just a fun time and I enjoy the land based casinos more than the online.

The biggest problem with playing for profit is that the odds are permanently stacked against you.

Playing for profit only works if you happen to be on the good side of variation when you start and when you manage to quit with those profit never to turn back.

In the long run you will not come out ahead.

Precisely, the way to have fun from gambling is to earn money. By making money from gambling, you'll get fun too. If summed up, he gambles to have fun  with making money. Or, or he does not understand what it is to gamble for fun and what it is to gamble to make money.

Making money is not something entertaining. It is part of life that you need to do. Of course I do admit that it is fun to make an easy money like that without having to work for 40 hours a week. However it is very wrong to think of it as a way of making living. Pretty sure that there are alot of people that have made living out of it but it is definitely not for everyone

yes it is both but in the thing that anyones main aim in gambling is to earn than to have fun .Fun is given in the process of playing and winning but winning is the heart and mind of a players decision in every bets.

my first preference is to participate in gambling is to make fun. usually, I am not interested in playing any dice games or gamble for making a profit. because it depends on luck, and my luck doesn't always support me to win any game  Smiley, so I always try to keep myself away from gambling...

You need to know, that indeed is the gambling capital is best for those who have to become someone extraordinary. Strategies in gambling we should Do is self control, if it is you can do and other things then A hold is about your analysis in gambling. Because only with the best analysis was key in getting the best benefits, then you should be able to do it.Gambling is not a great place, if you can use gambling well then everything will go very well. It all depends on how you can use gambling,

Be careful when you gamble because everyone started with that belief in gambling that it is only for fun. And in the long run when they are losing a lot of bitcoin/money that starts them to think that gambling is also a good way to make profit. But always stick with your belief as you are on the right path of thinking it that it's just a way to make fun.

Mostly aiming at profit rather than just for fun, However mostly don't end up with any.. The rule is you shouldn't (regardless if it's for fun or profit) gamblle allot of money (any amount you consider allot) since gambling is a game of unequal chances with the house edge... it should just be used with minor sums of money that you are willing to bet with.

That places you more on the playing for fun side dude if you're playing with that mindset. People who have the intention of earning would shell out large amounts of money because that's how you'll earn also. If you have the mindset of playing with an amount you can afford to lose, you're in the safeside and most likely would be playing for entertainment

I am playing with that kind of mindset and Im proud to say that this method has saved me alot of money. If I was still myself in the past then I cant imagine how much money have I lost until today. People want to get more money from gambling but they forget that they can always play for fun just to be safe
