I don't think people will gamble for fun. Almost all of them gamble for profit. Gambling is risky. You can't win everyday.

Don't generalize the statement based on what you like because since the day one I always gamble only for fun particularly while watching my favourite cricket team match I will bet a small amount to enjoy the game with more excitement. That's why even after few years of gambling I didn't lose money in gambling because I made some profit from cricket betting but lost some money in dice game but if I'm not wrong overall I'm still in profit may be less than 2 BTC.

Just fun. To rely too heavily on profit makes it less fun and destroys the point of playing g. You must play for fun and winning is just a hope we have and how long we hold in to that hope. But never make it so you rely on that hope. Don't spend what you need then force yourself to rely on a big win to survive.
Why are you using real money if you are gambling for fun?

That is what fortunejack offers to some other people who are looking to just have fun and not gamble at all.

They have playmoney so people may enjoy their games with this instead of real cash
But as far as I know gamblers, they never play just for fun. Everyone who gambles have a mind of making some good money in this game. If the sole purpose of gambling is fun, then there are many other ways of having fun such as going for outdoor games, vacations, camping with friends etc. all these activities are healthier and you seek more fun with such activities than just gambling.

Well, I should say that there are really people who find it more fun and entertaining to gamble and we need to respect that. Because at the end of the day, it is really an individual preference.

I think its their strategy to attract people they bait the play money so that people will start playing and then decide to play with real money especially if they won on their trial game.

In theory, I am gambling of course wanting to win. However, like most gamblers. I became complacent by increasing amount bets after had won some. Which then turns into like a blind pig spends money easily.

Well, the main reason for me to getting into Gambling is to get profit out of it.
we are trying our luck in that and the moment we win we enjoy it...

Gambling is all about the profit that is why i don't understand those that justify their gambling losses as having fun. The house is there to make profit from your pocket and so i don't see why you should be there  for another reason.

Some people actually have fun when they gamble man, no need to be so harsh. Some people really don't care too much about money you know, and as such they can lose a few hundred $ and then be done with it and call it a good night. I've been there, done that without a thought of making profits. This is mainly when you go to a physical casino though, not online..

Yes you are right, there are many different types of Gamblers some of them who gamble just for the sake of fun and they never care about the money lost or won. As far as I am considered I list myself as a fun seeking Gambler.

This is the only reason that I am practicing Gambling since a very long time but I haven't fall prey to the addiction. No matter whether you are a fun seeking Gambler a profit seeking Gambler you are always at a risk to lose your capital.

Those are probably the people who have a lot of money that they don't care too much on the money they lost. But some of them are also probably smart planners. I don't know as long as you are doing the things that you want without regret, then it's okay. If you have an extra, why not? Don't lose everything in one go.

Neither.
...and then you wrote contradictions:
I only gamble with my friends and is purely for entertainment only. In fact, sometimes we don't even gamble our money and we just have a good time with each other.
It is not gambling if you don't play it for money, but as you said sometimes you are "gambling" for fun without money does it mean when you are using money you are gambling to win money? To take money out of your friends pocket?
Don't generalize the statement based on what you like because since the day one I always gamble only for fun particularly while watching my favourite cricket team match I will bet a small amount to enjoy the game with more excitement. That's why even after few years of gambling I didn't lose money in gambling because I made some profit from cricket betting but lost some money in dice game but if I'm not wrong overall I'm still in profit may be less than 2 BTC.
For someone who is gambling only for fun you are repeating words money and profit very often in your post  Tongue

I agree since I think some people gamble for different reasons and making profit is not actually the priority unless there is an urgency need of fund where gambling is the only way they think can solve and help them in this matter. Personally I play but I am not into profit but just to spent some of my idle time once in a while.

Everyone of us why we join in bitcoin is for profit like in gambling many people that is why they take a risk to play gamble to earn money to be profitable at their next step.It should be their choice if they want have some fun no care to looses their money or not.But for me i choose to gamble making a profit money and someday would be invested on it for future purposes.

I am not a billionare nor a millionare, people like me gamble in a hope to gain profit. Some may gamble for fun  but ends up being broke which is not fun at all. We all join bitcoin to atleast earn some bucks. It is always fun making some money but you should know when to quit.

In my point of view, gambling must only be done for fun. A person can't rely for profit in terms of gambling because it means his/her profit is based on luck only. The worst case scenario would be losing all his/her money which is possible in gambling.

Personally Gambling really is not that fun.  Mostly stupid little games at a casinoe. If you are sports betting or gambling on horse racing - it only makes you want to cheer your favorite on to victory.  The point with gambling is that it does give you some sort of adrenelin rush when you win etc.   For me especially at casinoe - after I loose $15 - $20, I am ready to leave.  Last time I was in a casinoe I actually won $13 on the night. I was glad to stop playing so I could go home a winner - went home with more money than what I went in with - which is rather rare.

The difference between the two is very thin. Even though someone able to play for fun for a long time, greedy able to change his style easily.

If we keep expecting high profit when we gamble we will end up being greedy and instead of getting profit we end up broke and lose everything we have. So its better not to expect anything.

true but some people do not feel bad after they broke from gambling because they do gambling for fun. agreed we all join bitcoin to earn money but people use it as a tool. its the best choice to stop gambling at the beginning because the regrets are in the end.
