Why do you play for fun using real money?

[felipe04]

I play because i already have really big money,it's for my knowledge and for fun at the same time,i think also we need it in life like foods but always think you play because you can afford that,everyday life of a person need to be happy so we need to play even we risk some money and if you lose then try again and again until you win but do it for fun and do it sometimes only.

[poplolnman]

It is really a very impressive question that push us to ask our self why do we play for fun while we are using real money ? This should be discussed deeply because it seems like we are throwing our money from the window of gambling while we need to use it in a better way.

It is being discussed here and a lot of people have said that they are just doing it for fun and it doesn't matter if they use money instead just normal fun. If you have tried to do something in partly the same in real life then it should be with friends because it's fun to play with friends. It doesn't matter if you use your money or what, as long as you know what you are doing with it.

It's really matter to use the real money I think to feel the real pleasure in gambling, as when you use a play money no pressure on you to make your bets win , the thing make certain games are so fun due it's pressure to avoid the losses and when you waiting the outcome.

If entire gambling industry is working in your way then probably no one is gambling for finding the entertainment. Because, as per your statement, when you are targeting making real money from gambling, you are getting the actual pleasure you are looking for. It means if you do not use your real money then you will not care about the ups and downs oscillation of your money while playing.

After your opinion that I understand that no one in this world is trying gambling for finding entertainment. They are all gambling for finding easy money. In the process of finding that easy money they are getting some entertainment as a byproduct.

If entertainment from gambling is just a byproduct then probably all the gamblers who are declaring themselves as they are gambling only for entertainment, must be lying.

That's actually what I trying to say , it's not a complete sentence, not a finished statement  but you do understand already. The first impression they are looking for entertainment, things changed time after time, you would think you have to win this one and so on. There's no fun when you have to lose too much money, it's hurt and not acceptable.

If it was only possible to not lose any money that you can still earn meaning there is no risk with your own money but High come back in returns. But that's impossible because nothing is like that and if it is afraid to you then it's probably a scam. Just enjoy the fun when you win and don't be too emotional.

I always wonder why do people say "I am gambling for fun and not for the money".

Why do you use money at all to gamble? There are plenty gambling sites in which you can easily play with fun money, play money or "whatever it is called" money.

Why do you use money to gamble for fun?

Whoever is gambling for fun using real money please reply and be honest.

I gamble for fun but I need money too. Gambling for fun for me means that whenever I lose money from my habits, I try to prevent that loss from hurting my finances and my life. If I play with "fake money" I will not have fun. Nothing is free in this world including fun!

This one should be the main point of "gamble for fun". Just like when we spend some money for our hobby e.g fishing, sports, watching movies at the cinema, etc. For an activity that gives us some fun, it is reasonable if we should spend some money including gambling. The fun on gambling is not limited to the feel of playing the game but the feel of losing and winning money.
Obviously it is hard to accept losing money on gambling as a fun thing, but if we have decided to gamble for fun only means that we will not feel so bad when losing money because we are ready for it before start.

[drwhobox]

What makes gambling fun for most of the high and low rollers is the thrill of winning nor lossing their money on to something. Well yea it's easy money if you win but the urgw that forces you to gamble again.

Gambling is really fun if you're thinking postively at betting and knows how to controll and when to stop at gambling.

If we are already expecting it from the beginning then we wont really hurt up so much if we do lose up that money since we are already allocating it for gambling alone.Its not really entertaining if we do make use of play money we wont really fill the enjoyment even though losing is not a good thing but the feeling that it gives is incomparable into other things.

Ok guys, almost all of you said that you are gambling only for fun.
Let me ask you this:
If gambling is entertainment industry as you claim it is, why is it banned in some countries?
Countries don't like to people have fun, is that it?
They don't like when people are happy?
Strange.

They claim it's because some people don't know when to stop, so all the rest must suffer together by not being allowed to gamble.
Another excuse is the religious appeal.

I believe the main point is that casinos can be used as laundering money method, so governments prefer to not legalize casinos, what could let them collect taxes from gambling than allowing it and having some guys laundering money...

[Nerman]

I also gamble for fun using real money. Playing games in facebook or other apps/games is fun but it is not exciting and thrilling. I guess winning/losing real money makes the difference. Simple explanation but thats the truth.

You may also compare it to trading in a demo account and trading in a live one. You can be a winning trader on a demo account but a loser on a live account. Emotions play a big difference.

[LordDisick]

Playing for fun by using real money will add excitement to the game for the players. And I think this will only apply for those people who have a lot of money to waste. Some players are gambling to gain. Just like the people I know who are gamblers. Where in gambling become their "job" they rely entirely with gambling as an income.

because I think if people are only playing gambling, they cannot use their time to do other things and they can spend all of their money in all day. the government thinks this will makes people losing their money at the table and they become lazy to start a new work. there are many places or activities that we can use to have fun and not only playing gambling but unfortunately, many people attracted to gambling games to get fun and they don't realize that this will make them become addicting in gambling.

You don`t have many gamblers on this forum, you have more people that like to talk about it and get paid for that talk rather then gamble. I have fun while I gamble cause I like to gamble, with money its fun without money it is just a games for kids, with other words without money involved you just don`t have that feeling, that thrill, that is the best explanation you can get. You have many `gambling games` that you can play for free, but that is just not that feeling for me, its like I`m  wasting my time and energy for nothing.

Why bitcoin is banned in some countries? And in some its not? Why marijuana is banned in some countries? And in some its not? Why gay marriage is banned in some countries? And some its not? Do you think governments think about people happiness? Do you think that all the laws and regulations are fair?
Do what you like to do, and let others do what they like to do. What you have against gambling?

[xSkylarx]

the risk that you make by using real money is a part of the fun that is why they say to gamble with the amount that you ready to lose, there is no fun in gambling with no risk, the emotions that you feel when you are losing or winning is the real fun for me and so many gambler

Using real money on gambling is more safe than using your bitcoin, if you use fiat on gambling, you could not lose too much, but if you are going to use bitcoin, you are going to lose too much profits since its price is more high than the price of fiat, it is a wise move. But if we are going to look the other side, making more profits could be earn if you will use bitcoin(though the risk is higher) but if you are a lucky guy, then why not use bitcoin.

Sometimes they use real money because they because they don't want to lose bitcoin. They say bitcoin is too wasteful when bitcoin rise up the price. Because bitcoin has a promising price in the future. It's really good to hold it now because the price is very low. We are free to choose the price we hope for. Bitcoin is more value than cash, so l hope they will not allow to release again.  Bitcoin is greater,

For the same reason why alcohol was banned in the USA from 1920 to 1933, and was banned in some other countries during various periods of time. Yes, most people use it for fun drinking responsibly. But there are others, they are called alcoholics, who abuse it turning their life into hell. To protect the abusers governments ban alcohol, some beneficial drugs, gambling etc. Do these measures make the life of the abusers better? I don't think so. We all know from history that abusers will always find a way to use what they want to use. It's mostly regular people who suffer from the bans.

Usually people play gambling is for fun, but use real money to play to earn more money. If the people want play gambling but not have much money to play gambling is hard to play. So fun still number 1. Gambling is only accept money, because of that play gambling need use real money.
They hope gambling can make them earn fast money.

I personally want to play gambling for making money, i do no think that  there is any sense to play gambling for getting fun and enjoyment while putting our money in risk. I personally will never like to take the risk just for getting fun. I think there are so many other source from where we can get fun and enjoyment without any putting our money in risk.

Those who answers they use money in gambling for fun probably belongs to the rich member of the society who has plenty of money to waste. As I believe others uses money to gamble because they are amazed of the idea that when you gamble you have a chance to double your capital, others might be desperate to earn big and believe their luck will bring a lot of profits in gambling.

People who are not gambling like to talk about gambling and they are gambling for fun even thought they are not gambling? Now that is very interesting. Also this topic was specifically made to ask players who are gambling only for fun something, in case you missed last line in topic, so  as far as I am concerned whoever is posting here is gambling. So what's your point anyway? You are not gambling, you only like to talk how you are gambling for fun because you will get paid for post? Is that it? 

Do what you like to do, and let others do what they like to do. What you have against gambling?

Calm down, I don't have anything against gambling(I actually like gambling and chance to win big money and be in that rare circle of luckiest people), I am just trying to figure out something.

I also gamble for fun using real money. Playing games in facebook or other apps/games is fun but it is not exciting and thrilling. I guess winning/losing real money makes the difference. Simple explanation but thats the truth.

You may also compare it to trading in a demo account and trading in a live one. You can be a winning trader on a demo account but a loser on a live account. Emotions play a big difference.

So basically your comparison is gambling = trading: trading in demo account(playing for play money) = trading for nothing(playing for nothing), trading for money(gambling) = trading to earn money(gambling to win money) although you said that you are gambling for fun only?

I agree, very bad example and I probably shouldn't have written it. Puff! It's gone.

No, it's not and your post is one big shitpost and has nothing to do with this topic.

I personally will never like to take the risk just for getting fun. I think there are so many other source from where we can get fun and enjoyment without any putting our money in risk.

I don't understand this: "risking money for fun". If you have 10$ which you can afford to lose and you choose to entertain yourself in form of gambling, it is buying fun = no risk. Because you payed for entertainment, right? 

I think it has something to do with the stress relieving aspect of gambling. For me it's definitely the thing. Why do people play bowling for fun using real money? Why do they play many other games when you have to pay your money to play a game in which you can't win anything? I think for the same reason(th. That's a healthy approach to gambling btw. Playing in order to earn money leads to gambling addiction which is a sickness.

You basically said - "I am gambling only for fun because gambling to win money leads to addiction" 

Never mind, lets take this for example, I'll put myself in it:
1) I am gambling to win money
2) I am having lots of fun while doing it, I feel thrill and exitement
3) I will gamble only what I can afford to lose
4) In some other topic someone asked "how long can you be without gambling" so I said sure, why not? Lets try. So far so good. I ate more pizza. Pizza is fun.

Now take 1) and instead of word "win money" put word "fun" - feel the difference. Gambling to win money = leads to addiction, gambling for fun = fun, while 2,3 and 4 remained the same. How about that?
Besides, I've read story about some guy from wall street who gambled away millions of dollars, got in huge debt and he said he was gambling only for fun(if i find link I'll edit post with it). So bold part is pretty much wrong assumption.

Using money in gambling will make the game exciting it gives the thrill to every player that is why many people get hooked in gambling because they found it fun and if you are lucky you can get money from it.
Honestly i feel bored and sleepy playing/gambling with out money because money makes the play intense,you are eager to win because of the price and the satisfaction of the game is there.

Yes, when there is nothing to be rewarded after the end the game goes on. The same when placed with certain betting amount, automatically the game becomes more thrilled. Because the winning is expected to give us with a bigger earning. Same time fun accompanies on winning, here user need to have the mentality to consider it as fun even on losing.

I honestly gamble just for fun but behind it is also my eagerness to win and double my capital.So i go to casinos for both,to have fun and to earn more money hopefully.But the thought of having gambling to earn money is just the same with making gambling to earn a living.That's totally out from my aims in gambling.
