The key reason for gambling

[bering]

Gambling to spend my time and to testing my luck that these two reasons why i gambling and i was never considering gambling as good way as source income because it is impossible and with considering gambling as the reasons above i think i have been successfully being not addicted and control myself while gambling

[maydna]

Personally i gamble in the hope that i would earn money in the process but it is not always the case. Most often i lose money in gambling opposite to my objective to earn money. Gambling is not a good idea if you don't have much money to sustain this vice.

I completely agree with this statement.

Gambling is a great way to earn money since you will be just relying on the luck, the knowledge and skill that you have as a gambler, but mostly on luck. You make wrong choices, you will lose. But if you can't afford to gamble, don't make a decision to do so, you will just lose your money instead of using that certain money for you and your family.

Same perception man. Even me myself I play gambling for the money itself. When Im playing I rely on my skills and my luck on playing a certain game. You cant just win by only having luck. Having a good skill on playing gambling boost your chance of winning.

But it depends on the games itself and if we played the games based on the luck only, then you don't need to have a good skill and you only need to have a luck. But unfortunately, we don't know when the luck will come and we can only keep playing to know the luck comes or not and it means, we are risking our money to get lost in the game. Having fun in gambling games will be a good choice if you want to enjoy your free time so you don't have a passion to spend more money.

To be honest, before, my goal was to really earn money. But thankfully, I was able to learn it early that I won't or I will be really having a hard time if that is my goal because there is always the house edge advantage.

However, I still do gamble sometimes, but these times, I only do it for fun especially if my team is playing. I gamble in basketball game.

I realize this question was probably raised before, but I believe that the answers might be changing with time, because bitcointalk community grows and because the interests and needs of people can become different in years. I recall a video on addiction that explained that people mainly become addicted because of feeling sad and lonely. When I made a thread about whether gamblers think that gambling addiction has the same reason, the answers differed a lot. Now I am curious what kind of people are gambling here. Are they mainly looking for money, excitement, socialization? Please vote and leave a comment below in case you want to add something to your answer.

I don't know if you seriously ask this but there is no key reason to do this or that. You do what you need, always, you do because you get pleasure from it or expect to get it. From casinos, you'll hear one reason: Have Fun. But it's the least reason people gamble, usually they are looking for easy money. Imagine you have 100$, one roll and you have 200, this happened in one second, pretty easy money yeah? Some people in poor countries have to work for one month to get that wage, you did it in second but you can also lose it so quickly even on first attempt. But since therevis possibility of win, it attracts people, it's their main inspiration. On another hand some people socialize as you say, for example communicating in chat, some people feel well when they tip others and they chat: thanks, you are amazing and etc.

I want to try my luck, that's my vote. My philosophy in gambling is that it depends on luck entirely. You can win if you are good but you can win more if you are lucky on a certain moment because it is not everyday that you are lucky.

I voted too, but I`m sure that each of us here like to gamble for more than one reason, trying luck, spending free time, wishing for some profit, emotions that comes from winning and losing. I think combination of all this factors is why I like to gamble, and thats probably same for all other gamblers. Its never one things, its impossible to do something just cause of one thing, whether its gambling, or doing anything else interesting. Luck comes from trying, as long as you try you can get hit by luck, when you dont try you cant get lucky, its life.

I tried gambling to make money through trying my luck but my intention is not only to make money from gambling since I know if we do the we are going to get dissappointed.But there are some other people who just get more self confident and coming to gamle with the thought that they can make money from here,who are the people getting atticted to gambling.

It would just turn out to be a vice when you do make yourself spend too much time with this thing.Money would always be an issue yet you would really need it before you can able to play.
Reason for most people why they do play is for them to gain money on the shortest possible time which can only be achieve thru gambling.

Gambling is about luck those who wins must be lucky allot but I think we cannot entirely rely on luck because I have seen people earning more with skills than only luck. I am not saying luck has no role in progress of your income from gambling but I think we should learn skills too so this way you will reach your goal easily.

In my opinion the keyword of gambling is "ambition" . But not just one kind ambition it changes from people to people . Somone play for winning ambition, some of them play for money ambition,someone just have ambition for those games.I think if someone happy with his life probably he wouldn't gambling because ambition connected to what you want.

If people weren't hoping to get more money they wouldn't gamble at all. What would be your reason for risking money if not to make more money? I don't know anyone who is gambling for fun or to not be bored, because there are much better ways to spend your money. Instead of losing $1000 at the table you could rent out a supercar for the night, pick up some girls, get a hotel room, and have a much more productive evening.

I really do not gamble that much anymore but when I gambled more regularly it was simply because I found it more entertaining before, in the game of poker you are not just pressing a few buttons in front of a machine, you need to actually think and try to figure out what your opponent has and why he is betting the way he does, so to me poker is a very entertaining game because I need to constantly think what my opponent has and if I think I can beat them.

Also unlike many games in which you are playing alone in the game of poker you are playing against many people and you can interact with them and you get to know a lot of people that are very interesting.

Some people are just happy to just met people from the casino and some are just fond of playing without thinking about how much money they lose just for the sake of entertainment. And there are some other people that who gamble only for the sake of profit so you can't just tell it if don't know the reason of why they gamble.

No, there are many gamblers who actually do not have any proper reason for their gambling. They simply spend some money on daily basis for their gambling still they cannot state one particular reason why they are gambling because they are not getting a satisfaction level of emotion with their gambling activities as they are not finding the exact result from gambling so they keep trying to find that.

They mostly do gamble just due to the got introduced to it and they do not know how to avoid it. They are finding some soothing from that environment, that could be the one reason but definitely they cannot state that. When you do not have one proper expectation from gambling like that could be making profit or finding entertainment or anything similar to that, how you can justify your gambling activity's core reason. They gamble because they are aware of existence of such a place and their financial situation is also allowing to do so. No other proper reason for sticking with that.

Each of us has different reasons why we gamble. Some people gamble just for fun and thrill. Some gamble because it's their hobby, or it's their way of relieving stress. Some are gambling because they are addicted to it. Whatever the reason is, all of us has one goal in gambling, it is to win.

that is right, the goal of each player is to win no matter what the reason why he/she is gambling.
but at the end of the day, the real winners are not the most of winning but the most of having fun.

I agree, I think it's how a lot of us get started - we think we can make easy money, and when we realize we can't, or that it's not easy money (it's really hard lol), then we are still stuck with the bug and do it for fun. hopefully not losing too much, just the same as going to mcdonalds lol. i would say that using a betting exchange like betfair brought a lot more depth to it than just sportsbook. backing and laying, watching how the markets move in real time, very interesting. good thread!
cheers

There's two reason why I gamble and the primary reason is to have FUN playing online casino. Getting profits from my bets is just secondary.If my main reason is to gain profits, I might end up getting greedy on all my bets and its not fun anymore if I didnt win all the time. That's why I placed Fun as the primary reason, so that regardless if I win or lose, it's entertaining my self, having fun is the goal.

[btc_angela]

It boils down to money I guess. Specially for those who are hoping to get a windfall and uplift their lives to say the least. Of course we have some good times playing specially if you go to a land based casino but at the end of the day, people gamble to won money and lots of money, those people saying to have some fun will just realised that its very costly, Lol.

Yes, you are right. But unfortunately, not all people can have fun in the gambling games especially if that person is chasing the winning money until he lost all of his money. He cannot get fun in the games, and I guess he will be still curious at the end of the day and he wants to play in the next day until he wins the money. Besides that, the addicted person in gambling will not enjoy the games because his passion is only playing the games without thinking about having fun in the games.
