Why not play games online instead of gambling?

[LogitechMouse]

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 agree with you, gambling get people excited to earn some money at the end of the game, I think people like taking a risk due to gambling.

Actually playing games online also can make people excited, like some people compete on a tournament with a big prize.

But if I will be having a chance to choose from Gambling and Online Games with a great prize, I would rather choose Online games since I know that I will be competing in such game because I have a skill to it. Saying that, I can say that I have a higher chance of winning that certain big prize on Online game than on risking my money on Gambling.

There's one certain mistake you guys are making on this thread cause you seems not to understand that any play games of chance for money which money is involved is also gambling. Although, playing games will make things lifely by bring more funs and excitement to the player.

It depends on the game you are playing online as it is not all the games you play online that necessarily have to involve you having to put in money unless you choose to.

The excitement sometimes that you are competing with an unknown person and in some games where reputation is something that can be pretty much one thing enough to keep the thrill going, I would say, for someone who really want to have fun, it is not a bad idea at all.

Now like I said, it all depends on the game you are actually playing, which as long as it involves money and have nothing to do with you using some skills to give you a chance of winning, is pure gambling, and I purposely used the word pure because of what I said.

Lol. People always want to console themselves some of the time, but the thing with gambling is that as long as you do not pay so much attention to winning at all cost, and you already know that it is just a game of chance which you either win or lose, then, when you lose at the end, the best thing you will just do is to accept your fate and move on which instead, some people tend to take it personal.

Practically, for those who have been able to settle their mind that they are just paying to have fun and place a limit for themselves, losing will not be a problem, which is what I am assuming he is trying to say.

Even the very rich are always eager to make money and they are very wise not to throw away a lot of money because of entertainment whiles there are numerous ways of entertaining yourself without losing a lot of money in the process. When people gamble it’s all about the money. It’s their primary concern and maybe entertainment or fun comes later.

Yes, for most people of course hope when playing gambling can make money so that the capital spent can be doubled because of getting a profit, even though there are limits to the money that must be spent playing gambling, of course everyone who gambles will definitely feel happy if they able to win the game, and the opposite, we also have to be able to accept the risk of defeat that will be faced. the point is not to make gambling the main source of income and to play gambling games just to get entertainment by trying luck from it

[Panchum]

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?

Yes why not play game instead of gambling.Playing game now also is demand now to earn a big money that's why many young teens now is busy on online games.

I really hate online games. Online gaming is very possible to battle between players with different levels and chances are the big is not fair to fight with a level higher than your opponent or lower. I really hate it. it's better to play casinos with real justice.

[Small_Man_Big_Thoughts]

Yes because both of them clearly have differences as a specific purpose, online games are just to get pleasure with friends like mobile legend, PUBG etc., while gambling aims to make a profit even though it's not easy but those who are familiar with gambling will always try to get it. Although both of them have in common, the game is online, but both of them have very clear differences we can find in it.

I heard many times that some people said that they play only for fun and not for making money. Now it is better idea for them to play online games instead of gambling for spending time and for fun and entertainment. When there is money involved, you should be very careful about that. Sensible man will never gamble especially with that money which is for his family.

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.

Why not drive Toyota instead of Lamborgini?

There is difference in the experience right so people who want ultimate adrenaline will choose the real risk of money other than in online games where they have awareded with some coins for free.

I think that's not a great comparison, knowing that a price of a Lamborghini is way above an average Toyota car. There's nothing to compare because the OP is talking about what you can do when you are just passing the time. You are just looking at the title and not looking at the OP's post. If they want to have adrenaline rushing, it's better to go to outdoor parks, theme parks, bungee jump, etc. lol

I agree, and it also has a time and place because you cannot just gamble anywhere (except if it's online) and it's more fun to play in a casino if you are with your friends. The same thing goes to online games like League of Legends, or ARK Online, depending on what type of games you like. You could always risk money with online gaming too, and you just need to find the right opponents to bet with.

For me I don’t like both, gambling of game, because I think it is better to spend some time with friends and family instead of setting every time in front of computer or on mobile phone. Doctors say mobile is a disease and we should keep away this disease from ourselves. For money making I use this forum and for fun and entertainment I visit my friends.

If I get something against my money I will be happy but if nothing then obviously I will feel disappointment. The same is here in gambling. Some people say that they are gambling not for making money but for fun and entertainment. If I go for a long drive with my family or friends I spend lot of money I will be happy because I enjoy the trip but gambling is something different.

You have proof your point but I want you to know that our understanding, like and dislike are different. However, what seems to food to you might be my own poison and I want you to know that those that said they gamble for fun are definitely honest because gambling can make ones forget about work and stress .

Maybe they're having more fun in gambling instead of normal online game, in gambling you are serious and eager to win because you have stake money, that's the difference between those two

I think interaction online versus face to face is totally different think. We have so many who would like to meet new people, talk to them and have the best of the times and cannot sit idle or cannot stay indoor for too long. This could be a major reason why people prefer to go to casino not just to gamble but also to make new buddies

I really hate online games. Online gaming is very possible to battle between players with different levels and chances are the big is not fair to fight with a level higher than your opponent or lower. I really hate it. it's better to play casinos with real justice.

How and why do gambling has justice while online games are not? The game are a lot happier to do than gambling the reason they are called a game. Gambling has their own risks and if you will be thinking about it, you are losing your time on games while in gambling, you are not only losing your time but also your money since, let's be honest, not all of the gamblers really ever won on gambling.

I want you to keep something in mind and the thing is, anything which bring huge opportunity will definitely have a huge risk which why I sometimes compared gambling/online games with lotteries and crypto trading. However, most of online games uou will find on crypto betting sites are block chain set up and we can't all be lucky in terms of winning.

Heres an interesting article giving details involving Michael Jordan taking a stake in a computer gaming 'esports' brand.   It is definitely a growing sector of competition with all kinds of investment interest including gambling -

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-10-25/michael-jordan-makes-foray-into-esports-with-startup-investment?utm_campaign=socialflow-organic&cmpid=socialflow-twitter-business&utm_medium=social&utm_content=business&utm_source=twitter

AXiomatic, which was part of Walt Disney Co.’s 2017 accelerator program, also has invested in esports coaching platform Gamer Sensei and local tournament organizer Super League Gaming. AXiomatic didn’t disclose the size of Jordan’s investment, nor the other investors in the round.

Though esports remains tiny compared with traditional sports leagues, it’s expected to generate about $906 million this year, according to research firm Newzoo. Team Liquid got an early foothold in the industry nearly two decades ago in South Korea, where the popularity of StarCraft contests turned video gamers into well-paid celebrities. In more recent years, competitions have spread to the U.S. and beyond, packing audiences into venues like Madison Square Garden.

AXiomatic is co-chaired by Ted Leonsis, owner of the National Basketball Association’s Washington Wizards and National Hockey League’s Washington Capitals; Peter Guber, part owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Football Club; Jeff Vinik, owner of the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning; and Bruce Karsh, co-founder of Oaktree Capital and a Warriors minority owner. Earvin “Magic” Johnson, another NBA Hall of Famer and minority owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, also is an investor.

It is true. It is better to invest into our own skill, then just to leave up to chance.

I think in the online games, we can have fun too as we can play with many players from everywhere. We can meet new people while we played and perhaps, we are in the same group to defeat the other teams. Online games are perfect for people who don't want to use their money, and they are not expecting to make money from the game, and they are just enjoying the game. But in the gambling games, people want to reach something which is money, and they use their money to get more money, and they can get fun too.

Why you choose gambling in cryptocurrency for making money? You can trade or hold your coins for long. You will make money. On other hand gambling is a way of losing money. Here you will earn money in trading and there you will lose it in gambling. You can do something better for making money instead of gambling. You should play games online. There is no problem in it.

More the differences is you will have nothing from online games but from gambling our life can change in a minutes either in upward or the downward direction that is the reason why people were much interested on the gambling than online games.But when the eager changes to greed the gambling will be a life problem.
