Why not play games online instead of gambling?

[onebtcforlife]

There are two types of games money based and free games, it depends upon the people who choose them games according to their interest. Most of the people will choose online gambling because people are very addictive to it. Most children used to gamble free games because they don't know how to gamble with money.

I don't get what you are saying. What are the money games? Games that adults can only afford? Games that is being paid? Games that is based on how much money the players has? That is confusing.

And why and how can you say that most children gamble free games? How did you say that? They are using free games to gamble? It is really confusing. If that is the real types of games, then the money based will be games that is usually being used of money like well, the obvious example of EA games, if you know what I mean. There are also games that is being paid at Steam so I guess that would count. Free games are always available in the internet and even players with a lot of money play them because it is not based on it is being paid or free, it depends on how you enjoy playing  that game but gamblers will never pick playing online games since their interest is not in the game but in the gambling or risking his money.

Many but not all gamblers are claiming they gamble for fun and pass time. I was just thinking. If it is the reason why people gamble then why not play online games? There is a lot of good and challenging onlne games wherein you can interact with other people online?

For me, it is not that exciting if the game does not have a bet, other people really like to takes risk after all even if they are already losing money. LOL. That is true, I know some people who love to bet even if he already knows that he is already out of budget or maybe he is just really addicted in gambling that is why he is not contented with online games only.

People gamble not just for entertainment because of the chance to win big money. It is entertaining because it gives you excitement even if you lose in the end.

Excuse me but i just can't agree with your statement....
You're saying it gives you excitement when you lose?

That's a new gambling style i guess?

Its quite unusual to see gamblers who feel excitement even they lose all of their money . Maybe there are some gamblers who do this kind of action to prevent being depressed I think. Sometimes when I gamble, I'm doing the same thing. Being happy despite of losing all of my money. This prevents me from being stressed and one more, if I have some profit already I already buy some foods so that even I lose all of my money at least my stomachs isn't lost 

I neither play games online nor gambling because I think both are waste of time and money. It is better to go stadium and play there. You will be physically fit. It is better than playing games online. Visit a casino with friends, you will be mentally relaxed and enjoy a lot instead of gambling online. There is no fun in online gambling and according to me gambling should not be for making money.

Different people have different opinion about it. To me I play gambling online and I do not consider it as waste of time. To me I consider it as entertainment. I think that It if you have a limit for your gambling then you can really enjoy playing gambling.

Well, games, dices etc which does not involving money or betting is definitely not gamble and to be honest gambling online or physical even ones already losing money is not bad but the act of gambling out of budget is bad because the person already posed the sign of gambling addiction.

So we can say that both play game online and playing gambling can make someone addicted. In gambling, we are risking our money and with the game online can make us lost our time because we are playing the game in a day. This two activities will not give a big effect on our lives if we can take control of ourselves so we know the time to stop and leave the activities. So it is better that we can learn about controlling ourselves before it's too late.

Yes, to start feeling better after losing is unusual but it happens. Of course it's hard to imagine someone feeling better after losing everything, but if you were stressed by death of a loved one or divorce, or because of the stupid anxiety out of no reasons at all, losing $20 to an online game can help you to go back to normal. There are many various remedies from stress because each case is individual. For some it's Kava root and for others it's Valerian, for some it's a good TV show and for others it's gambling. Some people would feel better if they won, and others would feel better if they lost. And you can't replace that with playing online games as well as you can't replace Snoop Dogg with Justin Bieber.

If someone having self control while gambling then they will not say gambling is so addictive and the people who don't have that will get addicted even when they lose huge money for it so people need to decide about their gambling and future life before they are entering here.And they need to remember that gambling is not for money making if they want to make money do some job.

There is a big difference with playing online games and gambling, in online games, as a gamer by myself, we only play to earn something in that specific game, probably RANKS or IN-GAME CURRENCY, and when in gambling, we play to win money, to earn and gain profit out of that specific casino game, its a big difference.

Yeah, it also really depends on a person who is playing it, being addicted to gambling is not good, but the gambling itself will not bad as long as the gamblers know how to control themselves from getting addicted. Playing online game can also be entertaining even without bet but most of the people still want to take a risk because I know people that are risk takers too and loves doing it even if they are already losing money.

That is right, I don't even know why is these two being compared in this topic since online game will not be an alternative to gambling.

Gamblers will not just be changed that quickly to a gamer since being a gamer is not being done in a night, lot of years are needed in able to call yourself a gamer. And a gamer's life literally depends on games that he plays, without him playing games, I don't think he will be able to satisfy his needs with other things, that is my opinion though.

I see that some people can control themselves in gambling especially if they cannot win the games and they can think to quit the gambling and leave the places. It is hard especially if you are getting lost much money which is not recommended to spend big money. We need to care about our money, and it is better to save that money for another thing. And once you become addicting in gambling, you cannot make money from gambling, and it's better to ask other people so you can quit gambling forever.

Why not,because both can be same when it comes to gaming experience but the real difference is the money getting involved in gambling and you will lose money when you lose bets but in online games you will get so many lifes and you can restart the games.

Well you can involve money on those so you can say that it still depends on what should be done with those things. When you make a guess on games and you put your money or other things on the line so you can have a reward when you win, that is gambling. Doesn't mean it don't include or involve money, that is not gambling, there are still a lot of things that is valuable to be used in gambling.

Games aren't as fun if there isn't money on the line.  The adrenaline rush you get is much stronger when some level of risk is involved.  Look at the big name athletes like Michael Jordan, John Daly, and Pete Rose.  They should of been content winning at their respective sports but they needed to fuel their gambling habits by betting millions of dollars.

I think the big difference between online games and gambling is the money. When they play gambling, they will earn huge money if lucky, and play the game online is very hard to make money unless they are a professional gamer. So that the primary reason that they prefer gambling to game online.

I never knew that M. Jordan was a gambler, I googled expecting some sort of crazy self-bets because he believed he would win his games, but it just turned out he just hit the casinos a lot. I guess it's just in some people's blood

But I was just going to say that it's difficult to take those examples and generalize them for gamblers. I'm sure people with big money to spend can afford to gamble because while it might be a possibility to make even more cash, losing it still won't cripple them. They still make just a small percentage of all gamblers. I asked once about skill-based games, I would still recommend stuff like that over luck-based gambling. I'm sure even Mike Jordan had more adrenaline levels on the court rather than out of it

I don't think so because I see of my friends who play online games can get the money too. They usually sell some item to another player which need that item to upgrade their hero and because of my friends have a high-level hero, of course, he collects many items and he can help the other by selling the items.

I think it will give the other benefits for people who play online games because they can earn money too and I think they don't have to depends on their luck instead of the gambling games.

A gambler would likely to win huge if he's willing to have a huge bankroll in return. Playing online games aren't only for professional gamers, there's also an industry of what's becoming popular now.

Selling popular skins, in-game items and boosting of ranks. This is becoming a new industry for gamers where mostly are making money and part time streamers too.
