Why do you even gamble?

[shintosai]

I like the process of gambling and I do not feel dependent on it. I think this is a good entertainment after work if a person can control himself and enjoy it.

big word if a person can control and treat it only just to have some fun but otherwise its not healthy being caught and became addicted.

[Wipro]

I gamble but i live a life of moderation, so i play only just to relief stress and boredome. But the truth is we should really  avoid gluttony and other vices which may forget our work, friends, family and studies.

Indeed the positive value I got from a gambling was a busting of strees. but it is difficult to avoid a greed. because we will not stop there to continue playing

As I understood the bitcoin. It will never give greediness because when you seeing the lose how you will be greedy to earn money you will only fear in investing bitcoin again. If you think bitcoin gambling is stress buster don't do it again you will loose all your money.

Because gambling promises a profit, and in that case, gambling promising us profits in a fun way, yes, we are Promised profit by playing the game. But it depends on your luck, if you're lucky you'll get both.

Gambling is exciting for me and I have my silence from other people and when I win a nice amount I feel like I am the king and am very happy until I go to bed.

Yes it costs money, but as almost everything in this world costs money, I personally can't see what the problem is to spend some money for gambling?

Gambling is really made to be exciting, that is why they promise some stake to win or even a jackpot that holds a huge money to trigger the interest and greed of the players and or give them a good experience of trying to win it.  And as long as you are in  control there is nothing bad in playing gambling games.

I gamble cause it brings me excitement, and I like it. I like almost all gambling games, with more money I would gamble more then I gamble now, but I know my limits, or better to say my financial situation. There is always a chance for earning nice money on gambling, that is also one of the things why I like gambling, spent time on gambling can be fun, interesting and in end if its profitable I can say I had great night.
Gambling should be fun in the end, and I try to look at gambling like that. I lost money many times, but that is money that I would spend in any case, so I don`t worry, but many times I won a lot in gambling and I gamble cause i wish to feel the same again, and more trying and playing means more chances.

This post is not intended to criticize gamblers, i am just curious what drives a gambler to really gamble even when the odds are against him or even reach the point where he'd rather lose everything he has than to stop doing his gambling addiction. I said the following because i have seen friends and some relatives on my mother's side literally lose everything they have like family, wealth etc. and only a few managed to stand up again. And some of that few still gamble to this day. And an uncle was found dead from a gunshot wound, whoever did it was unknown. But rumors say that it is one of all the guys he owed large money and never payed. While a friend(not close, just a neighbor) died from suicide because his wife left him along with his 14y.o daughter and 3y.o son. Now, I ask this because i dont get it. I just don't. I mean is it even worth it? If you ask me, i don't know. That is why i am asking. And the reason why i did it here is because we all know i can't ask a gambler with this kind of questions face to face because doing that would mean mean that I wanna start a fight. I mean that might how a gambler reacts to this kind of question. Please share your thoughts on this.

I gamble for fun and entertainment. I try not to let it get out of hand by setting rules for myself. I set an amount of money that I can gamble with each week and I stick to it. If I reach my limit by Wednesday, I can't gamble any more for the rest of the week. This seems to work for me and I treat it just like a form of entertainment that you would spend money on like video games, golf, concerts, etc.

[Maum]

I gamble  because I hope for a big win and because it is entertaining. I also like the chats on gambling sites for sharing strategies and winning opportunities.

There are two things that drives gamblers to keep on playing the first one isthe excitement they got when they gamble, the second one is the greed, the gambler that played using greed is the most dangerous, it is the one that caused a lot of criminal things and caused a lot of trouble, and most of them not realize they are addicted to gambling because of greed

[Similificator]

So reading a lot on your comments, I realized teo things; a gambler gambles because they love the thrill(the unknown or uncertainty it brings but mostly the good side of the thrill. Meaning you love the thrill but the winning part) then the greed, which drives you to chase for your loses and when you get even or win a little, you gamble more for the hope of getting more out of it. Am i right? So, is there really any way to stop someone from gambling? A friend actially.

I know gambling can give bad impact on my life and I will never do such a crazy thing like that. I mean as you said on above even now i still gamble, the reason i do that it's just for earn a little profit. how if im lose, of course i will stop and not try to push myself to keep gambling because i don't want do something bad.

[Cazkys]

I don't know why I even gamble sometimes when I get drunk my urges for gambling is too strong. Every time I hit rock bottom and build myself up again I knock my self down. Before I hit rock bottom completely I am doing everything in my power to change I could possibly have lost everything I'm just lucky everyone knows now and I can be supported by someone. Sobering up from alcohol was easier than getting clean from gambling, I don't get that either.

Where you read or saw gambling promising a profit for players? But it will always give a good profit to site owners for sure.

It will only give you fun if you play this game without expecting any profit from it because if you're expecting a profit and if you lose your money then you will not get any fun instead you will be worrying about your losses.

Thats the good thing of playing for fun because if we keep doing this, we wont really lose alot of money just like everyone else. Sometimes when we gamble with a small amount we might be lucky to double it which means we can use it the next day to gamble so it is a good thing for us even if we dont play for profit

I am not a regular into the gambling but whenever  I have enough free time, I prefer sports betting just for fun and enjoyment. I do sports betting most of times and just for recreational purpose.

Let's face it. Even if we all say we are gambling for fun in the back of our heads we are thinking that we want to win. Regardless of our motivation to gamble,
there is always that thought in our heads that would asks what if I win a big jackpot? What if I win this next bet? What if I can x10 this money? And in the end
we all regret following that decision.

All true .  there is no harm in thinking and wish that we want the roll even though we are just playing for fun.  Aside from that  it is more fun if our wish of winning the round came true.  We won't get frustrated if we only gamble with the amount we can afford to lose thus the fun will never leave the scene.  Besides we can have fun over frustration and laugh at our reactions if we do not take gambling seriously by not aiming to  just win.

For fun man. To make life more interesting. To bring more excitement to our day. The key is not to get carried away with gambling nor thinking you're gonna make a profit out of it, I think.

[beerlover]

I do gamble every now and then myself, but I am for sure not addicted.

Although I know my limits, it's really hard to stop when you're down. You can't stand the fact that you lose money, and you want to play more to get the money back.

I think it has a lot to do with the uncertainty of the outcome of the gamble. There always is a chance you win it back, so you're chasing your loss.

Hmm, the first impression of you is, you are so intelligent guy. It looks like you are able to stop yourself at the right time and have a good control on your emotions at present. But, what I am concern about is for how long will you be able to manage this ? The best and safer practice must be, gambling for fun with limited funds.

[E-shipper]

I play for pleasure. I have no dependence and purpose to make profit from each game, I just like the process of the game and I can stop without any problems at any moment in order not to lose all the money.
