I was like TL:DR, You guys having this conversation drives me crazy, Tongue , the only reason for gambling is money and nothing else. Fun and addiction, doesn't really suites the explanation...
May I know what's the meaning of TL:DR? I'm not familiar with it Grin.

Anyway, I disagree that the only reason for gambling is money. In whatever side we look at it, such games are still a form of entertainment thus fun is always present. Yeah! Most of us (including me) gamble mainly because we want instant money but I do believe that there are real people existing which treat this as just a simple game where money is not a big deal as long as they're having a good time alone or with their companions. (I guess this kind of people are the ones who are very rich).

At first enjoyment and socialization but when it differs it becomes money and greed,this is the way why people becomes addicted and you cant change this

Unless you can prevent from getting involved in gambling,or you can perfectly controlled yourself and emotion then you’re safe in gambling
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.
Those commons facts is the reality inside this activity, having some fun with your friends or even inside your own convenience as offer by online gambling, the fact that you are able to control such emotions can keep you to enjoy this way, not unless greed takeover and make things differ from the first time you play, as time will past and possibilities to suffer stress and addictions will follow.
Most people think greed was the main reason why gambler usually proceed despite their lost is because they are high and it something like a buzz. Like I said earlier no one can totally control him self and we all somehow greed in some aspect and the best way to stop the greed or buzz is by setting a limit strategy.
Because usually gamblers thinking of huge money inside casino's and they'll think that they could win all the time but they are actually wrong. Gambling is not all about of winning but just to have enjoyment with. Many were fall into addiction cause they'll never control their self.
You might be right base on the rate of gambling addicted people confession and like you said they should see gambling as a way of enjoyment but we have seen a case where people that sees gambling as a means of enjoyment are also addicted to gambling. What I'm trying to point out is that winning was not the only reason behind gambling addiction and the best thing every gambler must do is setting some break/stop strategy in other not be addicted.
In my opinion, besides just for fun, most people play gambling, most of them just want to get money or profits in a short time and cannot be denied because in reality like that.
actually winning in gambling is only a factor of luck and if you continue to play you will definitely lose everything because you are obsessed with the desire to always win, and most importantly you have a good strategy and when you win you have to stop playing so Luck is on your side.

Escape. Escape from reality, an unhappy marriage, boredom, etc

That could be one of many reasons for some people. They don't feel satisfied with their life because they cannot achieve something that they want. So they decide to search another way to release the stress but unfortunately, they pick a wrong way, and they choose to play gambling. They even know that playing gambling can make their lose the money, but they don't care, as long as they can play any games, they will do again and again. That is too sad to realize, but I think it's happened in around us.

Gambling is not a bad choice when choosing an activity that can loose your stress out  . people on our place regulalrly play gambling especially card games  , they say that they are not playing for the profit but they only play because gambling makes them happy . they somehow forgot their  problems   .  we can also be like them . we just gotta learn how to control our selve's to not go overboard

I think it is also quite good method for utilizing tokens or forked coins that have no real purpose.
We know that there was at least few coins forked of bitcoin, some of them were recognised on the market but some were not.
This way, most of us are in possession of useless coins, why not have some fun with them? Key reason is still fun tough.

Is this you? sorry about that. I've never thought that there are gamblers that are doing it because of their unhappy marriage. But now you have given an idea that everything is a possible reason why a person do something like gambling.

True enough but in addition to that it is undeniable that there is fun in gambling. If not, the losers will not continue and will not even come back if it is not fun to gamble. It gives you excitement, hope and a mixed kind of emotions both in winning and losing. It makes someone imagine what to spend with his winnings even before he started the game. Isn't it fun? Grin

At first, I played without any control, I currently play with a mental strategy of allocating money just to play, where I leave it for lost, to play without any stress, the amount that I draw from my winnings, specifically half of my Earnings I try them to the game.

Yes, this is how we should all play gambling. In case of loss, We cannot control the loss, but we can minimize the loss by proper planning and techniques.  If we know how much to spend in each games and how to calculate profit, we can avoid big losses and mostly we will win from gambling. Its just the matter on how we approach towards gambling.

Yeah I'm not a hypocrite that I gamble because of money, and it seems the survey also says the same thing that most players try their luck to get money. but in my opinion it is undeniable that some people do seek gambling for fun and pleasure, and profits are only a bonus

The primary/key reason why I gamble tbh is to earn money. I think that's what makes someone to prefer gambling instead of playing such online games which is more challenging if we'll ignore the involvement of money.

I am sure that earn money will be the reason for most people who are trying to gamble. But we cannot make that money every time we gamble although we know that we have a chance to make money. But I am not surprised to see the result of the poll that to earn money is in the first place of people choose. Yeah, I admitted that gambling is a quick way to earn money, but we cannot depend on the gambling to make money because there are many good jobs in out there that can we use to make money.

I never had a physical casino experience other than some local street betting on fests and carnivals before i got introduced to online gambling. I started gambling for fun, to pass time on my free times. Then, i found out the possibility earn some quick money. That's how my primary focus changed from fun to money making. Whatever the reason may be, but eventually we all would be focused on money only.

But be sure not to go overboard with your aim on focusing to money making because this wont really suit out when it comes to gambling.
Gambling is for entertainment and not for long term money making aspects. Reason for gambling might vary on each person either for stress reliever, money making, habit etc.

The people I see gamble in my everyday life are the ones stuck in poverty and are searching for a way to get out of their hopeless situation.  Its a tough world for some people and the only option they see is to gamble and hope to strike it big.

It's too bad that you spent half of your earnings just to play the game to relieve stress. If you really want to relieve stress, there's a lot of online gambling games that will help you to save your earnings. It will just destroy your life on your situation, just fix it and change 'cause it means a lot. You better stop gambling 'cause it doesn't really give you a huge profit if ever, it will just bring back your money if you win.

People do make mistake when they play just to make money from gambling rather than playing for fun . Instead just going behind money their are other things for which people can play is like to make new friends, have a great time with friends in casinos etc.

Do gambling to get money instantly maybe only be good if that people already have their daily money that they can use if they need. And if someone don't have money and use all money in gambling to get big money instant, yes if they can win. If lose, they will suffer more.
