You can already separate at least 2 types of gamblers:
-casual
-addicts

Casual bettors have some savings to place wagers here and there, for fun, hoping to get lucky. Usually these types of gamblers have a better chance to get lucky once and become rich, because they are less involved emotionally.

Addicts need to spend every single day by gambling, you recognize an addict when he feels lonely after 3 days without gambling. A typical pattern is to say "I quit", and make another deposit the very next day.

It's important to keep a right balance and be sure to be in the first category I describe above, for obvious reasons.

That is an interesting poll and I couldn't expect a different answer to come first!
Gambling is thought by many people as a way of getting easy and fast money but this is not true as it usually comes the other way. People thinking that they can make money is the reason that they are getting addicted to it.

The poll just tell what people really expect in gambling, most voters selected "to earn money", that's expected because enjoyment comes only when you win in gambling, it's a different kind of fulfillment because not everyone is a winner, so if you win, you feel proud of yourself for awhile.

I gambled to make money and I have no any other reason why I gamble.  I think many of us if we can be sincere do the samething.  Gambling is a game and investing into gambling so be taking as such.  You either win or lose depends on what is in your favor. Therefore I don't gamble for fun but to make money.

People are drawn to gambling first by the desire to make money, then they become "hooked on it " after the emotional thrill associated with it, soon it becomes recreational, something you do to get "high" or as an escape from reality, it becomes additive.

We were on the same boat as i myself do always gamble because im verry eager to won some bucks  but apart from it , i dont get addicted to it either due to the fact that my bankroll is only limited .  if i want to enjoy or have some fun then i do other activites that doesnt cost me anything , playing computer games for example  .

So they need to depend on gambling to make money because, in the end, they will be addicted as you say. I don't think that it's better to use gambling as an escape away from reality because this will makes your life worst. But yes, the key reason for gambling was people want to make money, and this is the most reason that we know. And people don't think much about it's painful to become addicting in gambling.

I have just read a wonderful blog dealing with this topic and it was stated that traumatic events can trigger problem gambling. For many people it is simple way to escape from painful situations and to forget personal issues.

They also need to face the consequences too,if they choose gambling to make money.When people start doing gambling it may bring pleasure when the won mount but when they are in need to win to run their life then it will starts to hurts.We can normally see people get addicted to gambling for beginner's luck but later on they will get drowned.

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.

In my case, I do gamble because I am seeking and trying new activity which I have not done yet in my younger years and also to do entertain myself and socialize with other people because when you are playing, you have that opportunity to meet other people and somehow make friends with them. I do gamble not just because I am interested with money because I am just a small time better and I just play sometimes so it doesn't matter whether I win or loose because the important thing is that I enjoy playing. That is why I have get to engaged into an online casino so that I can still conveniently play even at home when I have no time to go to casino establishments to play so I can still play varieties of games plus enjoy their great bonus after doing my first deposit.

Just be cautious that you do not get overboard else you can easily get carried away and want to make more and more money and in such circumstances might lose the money and also can get addicted in the process as it is very lucrative and people find the easy ways to earn money.

For sure that the majority of gamblers not only within crypto world but also outside of it do such thing in order to earn money. I am confident that it is the main reason of people even without conducting surveys at all Grin.

In my case, I admit that I also want to earn few bucks every time I gamble but this is not my primary reason, having fun while spending my leisure time does. And I think having such kind of mindset is good after all because it prevents me to become hungry of money thus avoiding addiction Smiley.

To tell you honestly, I go for gambling for fun and for the money. I felt excited and my body felt happy whenever I won the bet. Gambling is something that makes our life more exciting  But of course in the contrary, it can also give our life miserable. Anyhow we have different reasons but to unite the gamblers, I think money is the main reason why we play online gambling.

I am afraid that some people cannot face it and they become frustrated because of losing the money. People do not realize that when they start to gamble, they risk their money to make another winning which they cannot always get. Yeah, I know how it feels because I have the same experiences as them and this is why I don't want to get another experience, and I prevent to get a big loss in the gambling games.

a huge amount of money earnings in quicktime will attract anyone in this world that's why gambling mean more popular in all over the world and also the excitement will not be reduced in gambling we need to put over again and again in gambling and Gate the prophet also that's why it is more popular and developed in very short period of time.

To be honest with you, no one can perfectly control himself or emotions but the moment a gambler knew what he will face in terms of gambling while he set a break strategy, he definitely know how he can incorporate wise actions to get the full benefit out of the game. However, the key reason for gambling we always be for the sake of money, socialization and enjoyment.
