There are several reasons as to why people gamble but what i could think of as to why we gamble
1. People gamble to make money(profit from their capital)
2. Depending on which platform others gamble as a way to socialize
3,. other people gamble to simply have fun, as they might have limited recreational activities.
That first point is the reason why we have so many addictive gamblers today. They feel they can make a lot of cash from gambling, more like a profit from an investment and once they lose it, they try recovering it back until the lose all, and then end up being some huge addict.

On the other hand, there are some platforms that makes it even more interesting as you can chat all day and even receive some rains in the process while gambling, like crypto-games. So, for the socialization aspect of it, that can really be an awesome one.

There are various types of people who play gambling, some are looking for profit from gambling but there are people who make gambling as entertainment. People can be addicted to gambling usually because they lose a lot of money and want to recover their losses. But there is also a hobby and love to play gambling. If I do not like gambling myself because I do not have enough money. I prefer to use my money for more useful or more fun things like playing games, traveling, watching movies and so on. I hope we can deal with gambling very wisely.

In our life, we gamble in order to survive. Sometime we win, sometime we lost but life must go on. But in real gambling world, not all people needs to gamble. Only those who have the inclination to gamble will. To them gambling is life.
|I do not think that people play gambling for survival, different people have different reason reason to play gambling. Some people after disappointment from finding day job they start gambling, while some people consider gambling as the short way of earning money and some people play gambling only for fun and enjoyment. My personal view is that we should not play gambling to fulfill our needs, but we should play gambling only for fun and for testing our luck, because gambling totally depend on our luck.

Thats not your personal view but it is something that everyone should do. When we see someone win alot of money, we want to be that kind of person as well but the truth is we cant. So instead of getting another dissapointment from gambling site then playing for fun with no expectation to win is the best thing that someone can do when they gamble
It is easy to get excited when you see someone else earning a huge amount of money when gambling and then you think that the same thing could happen to you, but we need to be honest to ourselves and know that those profits come mostly from being lucky and that is impossible for us to replicate that success.

To gamble is just a form of activity of past time, recreation, diversion or a stress reliever, it is a matter of choice on which side you are comfortable with on spending spare time for recreational activities but spending too much time on gambling is not good as it may lead to addiction and the other time needed to make a living or a time for your love ones might get affected not just money are being wasted but also the time.We don't need to gamble but we want and like to play and win but put some limitation on it and don't hook too much.

The definition of gambling is the outcome is never guaranteed, therefore to think that because someone else wins you will win too, actually is not true and only wishful thinking. This is the worst way to gamble because you will lose more money than if you play the smart way (based on mathematics).

Gambling can indeed give you money, can give you a profit, but the money you get from gambling is not to survive. I mean you can not just gamble for giving because there's no profit you'll get from gambling, all random. So you can not just gamble to survive. The profit from gambling is only for your extra income.

I think gambling should be done only for fun. If you are still having fun in gambling you should continue with it. Also if you don't want to lose alot of money, what you can so is simply keep a limited amount of money for gambling and don't bet more than that. And even if you lose money while gambling, don't try to win it back through betting as it might lead to lossbof even more money. If you are getting frustated then just stop gambling.

I guess you are still gambling at this point since you have been used to it since 2011 and having a family doesn’t make you stop this habbit. I think this is not actually a need of you or those other people who gambles but just a bad habbit to break. Family, relatives and friends that sorrounds you will be helpful if you are having this thoughts on you habbit but yourself will be the key in it.

Gambling is the most easiest way of earning bitcoin or money, but it is also the easiest way of losing investment. Otherwise joining gambling is so hard to delete in our life especially when we will become addict in any games.

Your profit on gambling will be based on your luck and not on someone else profit because no matter what mathematical things you do there if its not your day to earn you will not earn. No one needs to gamble, it is our choice to do so, and its for our own personal reason. the result sometimes its not good but we still continue to gamble, the decision is ours so better to make it wise.

You understood gambling wrongly because gambling is not for making money but these games are designed to give us only excitement or fun. If you gamble to make easy money then most likely you will addict to these games and lose more money. But if you play these games only for fun then you may control your emotions and will not gamble every day.

Gambling is just for fun or an entertainment, but you can get of money too if you are very lucky
It depends on you what do you want. for me, I need to gambling for fun if I do not have a work.

LOL. What is fun on gambling if you are loosing money? $1 or $100, There's no difference. Its still money that you have work and you just lose it on money. That's why I don't understand people saying that they are just gambling for fun. If you will just compute how much money you loss in you gambling because of this so called "fun", I'm sure you will be amaze on how much money you have lost already.

For me I gamble to win. Simple as that. If I don't won that day, then I simple go home and take the lost. No need to complicate your situation and chase your losses. You can try your luck again tomorrow. No fun in losing. LOL.

I disagree. Think of sport fishing for example. There are people who pay for catching fish in specified places and when a fish is caught they immediately set it free. In the end they have no fish, they just lose money, but they do it because it's fun and they are going to it again in the future. There are people who have similar approach to gambling and I am one of them.

People that gamble instead of investing simply do not have the patience needed, they want to multiply their money in a matter of minutes, and finding a way to double your money in some minutes is impossible even bitcoin cannot do that, but if you instead invested in bitcoin you could have multiplied your investment many times over in just one year.

First it starts with as a way to earn a little amount of money without any hustle. Then you loose money and then it starts as a way to recover the lost amount of btc. In the last it just an addiction to just play and play and never stop.
Actually , gambling is not necessary to everyone. They are just doing it to earn more money in the fastest way. But its too risky, because the faster to can earn money, is the same as the fast you will loss it. That's why im not recommending gambling , because it was just luck and if you dont have enough luck im sure you will just loose your money.

Gambling exist from really long time, just how we gamble have changed a lot because of development in field of gambling. Gambling was developed for fun before but these days its more about getting quick profit or just a dream of getting rich quickly. However there are not many gamblers who have been rich with just gambling.

We don't need to gamble, its just a habit for some and even addiction for some.

Yes that's true.

We don't need to gamble, we can rich without gambling through hard working and live.
Gambling for me is just for fun,and past time, but people gamble to earn money and to become rich in an easy way.
Maybe people become addicted in gambling because they experience to win and they are always playing gamble. Hoping that they will become rich with one click,,
Most people already know this and the funniest fact is that just very few people gamble just because they want to have fun and they are already rich. Majority of people gamble because they are so much in their own imaginations of getting rich while gambling instead of focusing on the most important thing in life which is working hard and earning some pretty good bucks than spending all their time gambling and losing at the end.

We may gamble for our own reasons but the fact is how much we are capable to manage for not spending for the reason of gambling. In my opinion, anyone may gamble but how less spending time and money is the concern here.

You sure could if you have the money to loose but since i don't i will always play gambling for the profits because the house is always there  to profit from gamblers like me  so why should i think otherwise? I don't always win but i don;'t always loose either so it's better you play with limit and discipline in order to maximize your chances rather than gamble for so called fun and entertainment.

The problem is that is going to be very difficult for him to break the habit, since it seems his family gamble as well and that means that there is always going to be the temptation to gamble once again, this is similar to what happens to alcoholics, if their friends drink alcohol leaving the addiction is more difficult.
