Do you gamble for fun or for profit?

90% fun, 10% profit.
From the point the % of fun goes under 40%, I think that gambling becomes a sickness or obsession.

I do it for profit mainly nowadays, and I can say that I am not obsessed nor addicted because I don't pay too much attention to it after I locked my pick (I mainly do sports betting ). It is wrong to generalize that all gamblers are addicts lol. There are some that falls under that category, and some also that don't. If I ask you why are you gambling and answer that you're not going for profit, it's total BS.

I do gamble. Not much, but I still spend some money on it.
However, it's under 5$ / month.
And on such amounts I will continue to say that I do it more for fun than for profit. Is it still BS?

Okay, I have to admit it, when I was still gambling, I was there and answer an invite because I was looking for a way to earn bitcoin that time.. Other than profit, I have no other reasons why I am there, though I could say that I was having fun chatting with the people on the gambling site, so I think it's more of a profit than looking for fun...  Smiley

Hahah, gambling is indeed very pleasing to us. But if we are wrong to use gambling indeed we will get a very deep sadness. Gambling is not a place for profit, but gambling for fun. Only a small fraction that can benefit in gambling

I use to gamble for fun but after a while it loses it's luster. Undecided
So I try and put a wager on smart bets. Those are usually profitable but the odds are quite low. But better to bet on a wise bet and taking little to no risk then betting on a 50/50 bet and taking high risk then losing big. That to me is no fun at all! Angry

Yes, when we have a lot of money to play than it's more like to have fun. But I mostly play to make some amount for me. I don't think anybody can survive on online casinos when he don't have enough funds to keep him into game. How can anybody can afford to lose just for fun.

My main aim when gambling is to have fun, when (more like if) I make a profit it's just a bonus. I usually avoid Dice sites as well as anything like slots, I sometimes play blackjack but it's mostly sports betting and I usually gamble with faucet earnings.

Both, actually.
Betting is my way to make some profit. You need to have some knowledge on what you bet to be profitable.
Gambling on slots however, is more fun. Sometimes I lose, sometimes I win.

in my case, I nether bet for profit nor for fun.. I always try my best and is now getting good at it to gamble without emotions.

So, I don't gamble for fun nor for profit at all.. the only fun part would be during the cashout.

Your gambling attitude I think it is fine, because as long as you can do what you want then I think it is fine for you to gamble cause you know how to control yourself and you have just the amount you uses that you can afford to lose.

 I don't gamble simply, I don't see fun in that. Profit with gambling is like we talking about treasure under the rainbow. I understand that gamblers live in hope they will win one day, and I understand they wish to justify their gambling with that, but all that is in vain. People shouldn't gamble at all, house is always win and that is something that everyone knows.

 Fun in gambling can be only when people win, on evey other case is waste of money. Buy something nice with money you planed to gamble away, that is better choice.

it is always on the people to choose how they find their happiness I guess gamblers find it when they playing the game but for me I see your point it is nothing to be fun when you are losing your money much better to buy something and enjoy rather than to try your luck and lose in the other hand.

Yes slots are actually highly addictive. I am loving especially the Endorphina slots and Satoshi secret which I am playing there heavily these last days. No jackpot there but chances to win a lot from the bonus games. As for sports I am not that much of a fun for sports games so I rarely bet there. Even when I lose on slots I am not that sad as the fun they bring me is great.

But I don't think slots is good to have fun there because it has very huge house edge, we can lose big amount on slots as compare with profit than it's very low, it seems you have decent bankroll because you are making fun by losing money on slots.

90% fun, 10% profit.
From the point the % of fun goes under 40%, I think that gambling becomes a sickness or obsession.


Don't you think that there is more fun in gambling when you win your bets ?? And i believe that people play it for profit and when they win they enjoy gambling. If you loose then there is no fun in gambling Agree ??

I agree, everybody wants profit but we all are not lucky enough. When we won gmabling becomes fun or happiness but when lose there's no fun.So, gambling fun, depends on your results.

yes there is no reason to choose fun or profit, because everyone aims at both, and most of them say just for fun, but I'm sure the other hand they are also to get a profit.

What you guys said is true. But if we play with a small amount for pure fun then whether we win or lose, still can enjoy the game and have fun. Once we have an intention of making a profit from the gambling, then we mostly will not enjoy the fun part of the game, if we lose money.

Mostly the gamblers are just referring to fun with gambling but it just comes suddenly when they are thinking about the chance of getting profit too.
So they have both reasons now as they are gambling for fun and for profit. But for me, I just doing it for entertainment or fun basis. Especially when you are getting bored.
