Why do we need to gamble?

[vaszel]

Maybe in game you fill some special thing. You really have a lot of adrenaline. You can anything. The main thing is stopped in time.

Hello everyone, im a Gambler since 2011 when my father wants me to go with him to the live casino, like i was so amazed and so much fun there.
My father loves to play baccarat game and slots, but me as a first timer before, i played slots too...
So right now, im 31 years of age and have my own family, i still do gambling even on gambling sites now...
at that moment i realize that, why do we need to gamble? its like a win or loss game, a risky game, put your own money and when you bust it all, there will be some regrets...
So guys, please answer this, Why do we need to gamble?

You seemed influence by your father's hobby and even now that you have your own family you still gamble which I think it's not appropriate. Oh don't get me wrong like why not spend the money to your family and it sure that they'll be happy. And you'll realize to yourself the question you've ask, why do you need to gamble when you know the fact it's risky and you'll have some regrets later on.

getting out of bed is a gamble.

I gamble because i get a adrenaline kick. For me sport can be boring (depends on the sport)

Tennis is my new cant stand unless i've got a bet on sport...

Most of the time, it's like drugs, there is a peer pressure so you can't just refuse specially if your friend is the one who invite you to play. You mimic what he say, if he say that he enjoys the game, you do the same.

It's a choice if you want to gamble, but there is always a reason behind why you are there. If you are there for no reason, well you are not thinking then.

At first, some people out of curiosity try to gamble to know if they are lucky to win in the game, and if they win they will try again with a higher amount of bet thinking that they will win more. When they lose they will play again hoping to win back until they will become addicted on it.

That's why it's better to have friends who are totally not into gambling. All of my friends despise gambling. Some of them are former gamblers and others have never tried it, but all of them say to me to stay out of it. And I think that's a good thing actually. Thus I can gamble in a healthy way, two times per week, spending neither a lot of time nor much money.

We all have our reasons. It's the same thing with everything else that doesn't really benefit us. We can change the question into things like "Why do we need to smoke cigarette?" "Why do we have to eat junk food?" or "Why do we have to live at all?" Things like these don't really have a good answer. You gamble just because you want to. You find it entertaining. Some find gambling as a way to escape reality just like why people are always smoking cigarette or smoking pot. They are just trying to cope up with whatever bad thing they are currently experiencing.

There's no good reason to gamble. People can say that they are trying to be a hustler when in truth they are just simply addicted to gambling. Some say that they are gambling to relieve stress. And that's exactly what I was talking about. People do these things (that don't benefit them in no way) to escape reality. So just like any other things, if you get addicted to gambling, it's because you are addicted to escaping reality.

There's always a reason why you gamble. Either you gamble for entertainment purposes, or you gamble because you wanted to earn huge amount of profit in a short period of time. And peer pressure also plays a role as why people gamble. It's like, you don't want to be called as Kj (kill joy) to your friends if you refuse them if they ask you to gamble with them. And when you found it very interesting and entertaining to you, you keep on gambling even if you don't have your friends with you.

I can't quite agree with you. So do we eat junk food because we want to escape reality? Or do people smoke because of this? Methinks, you are a bit exaggerating here. Some people are just more predisposed to become gambling addicts when exposed to gambling. Call it genetic or whatever. But does it mean that they are addicted to escaping reality? They may be afraid to face their issues, of course, and gambling may be a vent to them, but isn't that what most people are afraid to do anyway?

Common misconception about playing gambling, Like what you have said, first, its just  you wanted to try maybe because of curiosity or some of your close friends or relative introduce this game, trying and testing until you already got engaged, reason are trying to make a life easier trusting fate with your luck and forget to live with a normal life.

i gamble because i found joy while i am playing or gamble it is one of my outlet to release my stress win or lose i don't mind it as long as i play..most people in my place are gambler so i don't mind also if someone sees me playing because im a woman.

if you feel okay with that situation then go ahead , i just feel so doubt you can really have a full of joy when you do gamble in the long run , it is always makes people suffering pain , because of its -EV in gambling pretty clear make players in disadvantage.

so if you have a lot of money to burn , keep doing that and good luck.

for some people gambling is able to help them earn income
though without them knowing sometimes gambling drowns them against the poverty line.
but all of them are still gambling
may still benefit from his gambling

That is correct, they always say that is just for entertainment but the mere fact that they enjoy to much and forgetting that almost all of the money that they earn has been out in the table, this will lead to addiction, addiction to gambling entertainment.

I don't think if you could enjoy the situation when you already nothing left on you pocket. Well, each of us want an extra money which most of us has mindset that only gambling is the best option and have an extra money by winning instantly. Maybe, if you are lucky enough so you can have that winning or jackpot price. Anyways, gambling is our choice to enjoy for a while which means nothing seriously in playing having a budgeted amount that only our luck can tell if we will win or lose the game.

Gambling is not compulsory its a choice of every individual and with respect to the question that why do we need to gamble then maybe all i can say is its not a need nor its a want and your own choice, if you feel you will be excited and make fun of gambling then its your choice again, but be in mind that gambling has come only two result its the win and lose, besides you are the one who will suffer the consequences along the way of gambling.

People thinks gambling as an easy go lucky activity. By any chance of luck, people gain out of gambling and some loss to it. In a short span of time and less effort, we had a greater return out of small amount we out, or on the other side we loss them all, because of that others prefer to gamble, where we need to take the risk out of it.

Luck can only help in gambling to change the game side form one team to another which means that even after playing two to three wrong tricks you were still able to win the game then people would say that you were lucky today. This is the only part in which the luck can take place but if someone doesn’t plays even a single trick from the start of the game and says that if I am lucky, I would win the game. Here, luck is not working and he will face disastrous end only.

I gamble just for fun and I set aside a small amount every week to gamble with. Of course I always hope to get lucky and win a huge amount one day, but I don't expect it. Most people will eventually realize that games like dice are almost guaranteed result in losses unless you get lucky and quit while you are ahead. Still I enjoy it and even if I lose, I still have fun playing. then it could still be a source of entertainment.

That should really be the main reason for gambling anyway. I am not the type that usually considers losing money fun anyway which is why I stopped gambling. However, when I was gambling, I have asked myself that question so many times without really having an answer.

Most times I end up losing, and even though I already set my mind to that, but the truth is that it still sucks and then I still see myself coming back. Except for online casinos, offline casinos can be fun anyway if you go with your friends but not without knowing your limits.

Sometimes we need to play gambling to have more money, using gambling you can possibly earn much income instead of working hard. However this negative thinking were bring to us a more loses instead of gaining profit, because in the gambling your chance to win is so small. If I rate the chances to win compared to loses is low, in my sight it was 0.01% rate to win and 99.99% to loss. More people said that it was 50%-50% chances but it is wrong. Many people are addictive with the gambling because they want to enjoy, but they can't see the consequences of their act.

We don't need to gamble, and people who feels that they need to gamble are probablh addicted to gambling and they should be stopping with that.

I think that the main reason that the average person would gamble for, would be to entertain itself, or before a very interesting game, people bets because they want to have more stress watching the game.

When someone bets $10 on winning of their favorite team to make watching the game more entertaining then I call it healthy gambling. We need this kind of gambling similarly like we need any entertainment to add more fun to our daily life. But we shouldn't consider gambling as a source of income. That kind of gambling we don't need because it can easily ruin your life, and it was mentioned many times by experienced gamblers.

This was always been said that there were no shortcuts in life and talking on earning money gambling would really give the chance on getting profits on a short span of time but at the same time the fastest way on losing money too and for those people who do said that they are just playing for fun,i dont really believe them at all because the feeling of craving for money is always there.
