For me it's definitely for the adrenaline rush, I just find it pretty exciting to play a couple of games of Roulette and have a chance to get out with more than I came in. The first two categories are usually belongs to a safer category who doesn't usually become addicted. However, the next three are the most vulnerable categories where people tend to get addicted! So identify your reason please!
I think that the people who gamble for the adrenaline rush can get addicted though. It's exactly that feeling that causes people to get addicted, even more so than someone who just gambles occasionally.

5. Occassional gambler - trying luck
Although i'm not a full time gambler like many others on the forum, but do gamble occasionally just for luck purposes. Sometime i win with surprises even not gambling for win intentionally. Winnings come when a gambler gamble with the mindset of luck.

I chose number 5, to make money is the only reason why I keep on trying but i'm not a full time gambler. Just when I have extra funds. Gambling is the only thing that gives all of my pleasure for how many years now. But there's a time that I can resist playing, maybe because i'm thinking of a better way rather than taking risk.

I belong to the 5th category. I used to gamble for some fun and relaxation but, when i got some cash from playing, it made me more interested in money than fun. I don't play with more than i could afford to lose. That's why I never had a bad feeling from gambling. Except the 4th category I guess all other category traits can be found in me.

I believe it is about boredom for me really, I feel like gambling is quite entertaining and something that I have not been bored so far. I have played many games in my life, I am in no way a proper "gamer" but I do have a steam account filled with games and most of them have around 20-25 hours game play time, I get bored of games after I play them for 20+ hours.
Nevertheless, I have been gambling for years and that has always made me a bit of fun really, sometimes I get bored of it but after a break I can come back to it and play it like nothing happened. That is why gambling is just way to entertain myself when I am bored that's it. I never played to earn money, never played it with the idea of betting big or winning big, I see it like a computer game at best and I am just spending money on that that's all.

Many of us choose number 5, and I think it's because we are curious about our luck. And with playing gambling, we could see if we have a chance or not to win. Maybe this day we are lost, but we still have the other days, and we can come back to the game tomorrow and play another round. In that day, we could hope that we will have the luck so we could win with ease.

Before I try to gamble, I already aware the risk of it. But why I keep gamble ?
Fun fact : I knew gambling from crypto so without crypto, I won't be gambling. Yes, my first gambling site was dice , it was addictive when I can made profit from the promo !

To have fun honestly, I know gambling is not a great source of money and not a way to become rich. Playing online and on the casinos really makes me feel happy, not unless I think for my money since I spend a lot of money on this before. Those who becomes addict usually on the last 3 part of the choices, you're right on this one because they too focus on the money.

As the subject line suggests, the question is very simple, Why do you gamble? The options are,
1. Relaxation 2. Adrenaline rush 3. Get rich quick scheme 4. Make money fulltime 5. Occessional gambler - trying luck
The reason behind this thread is to identify and categorize the trend of why people gamble, especially the players themselves! Because I have seen a lot of people screaming about the bad effects of gambling here! But I firmly believe that all depends on what's your take on gambling!
The first two categories are usually belongs to a safer category who doesn't usually become addicted. However, the next three are the most vulnerable categories where people tend to get addicted! So identify your reason please!

in most of the time I will do gambling for money only and it will be the most important thing to gamble from everyone side but in sometimes it will be different I entered into invest only for entertainment because in sometimes it will be fun and entertainment that's why I been more attracted.

I can fit into the last category,trying my luck when I have spare money to spend.Only people with the intention og get rich quick will say gambling is bad when they can't find a win even they will continue to play by saying that so they are here to make money but tey are the reason behind gambling industry's success. Similarly, I gamble to find luck but in addition, I am looking for relaxation because of unexpected results from gambling, it makes me feel very excited and interesting, making money and getting rich quick from gambling, that's really not the words in my dictionary. And I believe that very few people have these intentions and thoughts because it's so obvious, gambling is a form of business and I don't think owners want to get lost when they pour a lot of money into building these casinos.

Income is not at in consideration while you are looking to gamble with your hard earned money. If you are love to invest and make the entertainment then you can enjoy in the field of gambling. If you have own strategy then you will be able to make money also in gambling industry.

It’s better if you just created a poll of this to closely monitor the result.
I’m just an occasional gambler where my friends invites me to play, or when I feel bored surfing online. Occasional gambler are not prone to addiction because they only play when they have free time, and have control with their self. I believe those who are on the “get rich quick scheme” and “Make money full time” are the most vulnerable for addiction, they see gambling as their main source of money.
I surely will! I created this thread from Mobile so couldn't find any option for opening polls. As soon as I get back to my laptop, I will add a poll. Income is not at in consideration while you are looking to gamble with your hard earned money. If you are love to invest and make the entertainment then you can enjoy in the field of gambling. If you have own strategy then you will be able to make money also in gambling industry.
I am really not able to understand your point! Investment and entertainment doesn't really go along!

That is nice things you said that all of us should aware of it, we should know where we are working and what will be the output for us, risk is the part of life and it is part of every business but if we will know how we can reduce and chance our risk into profit I am sure there will be no more risk but only earning, since now I never lost anything.

5. Occessional gambler - trying luck
This had always been a reason on my mind on why i do gamble. Trying out some luck at the same time i do entertain myself on playing some games like dice & slots depending on my mood.When i do see some sports to bet on specially my favorite ones then i might consider on betting on the same day too.The important thing is that i do only allocate some amounts which is fixed solely to be used on gambling.

I am somewhere between 2 and 5. I don't gamble on regular basis, but I like to do it from time to time to feel the excitement and tension the game provides and the pleasure of winning something. I am not sure I agree with your take on these five reasons in relation to addiction, though. 1 is most likely a safe reason and 3 is most likely a potential addict's reason. However, 2 can also lead to addiction (people get addicted to feeling adrenaline bursting through their veins, and this can lead not only to financial losses) and 3 might be safe if one is gambling in skill-based games as a professional.

To take advantage of my sports knowledge - yes sports betting.
Since Im a basketball enthusiast for a long time now, this is my advantage. Although every games are unpredictable, Im increasing my chances to win because of self-analyzation + instinct. No way I will just rely on luck for this.
Bottom line, I gamble to take profits. Isn't it fun to used my knowledge to gain profits.
I really don't believed on gambling for fun purposes as sole reason. Even rich and high profile gamblers always wants to win even they afford to lose big just for fun.

You think the first two don't get addicted to gambling? You sure about this? I recently started thinking that gambling addiction has nothing to do with greed but rather a way out of lifelong depression, sadness or worries.
In my opinion, gambling addicts keep gambling in order to keep the depression and worries away from returning. . To cure this addiction, you have to help the gamblers solve their personal problems first(maybe with something that makes them happy) while gradually taking them off gambling.

I used to gamble a lot but I hate it now, the rush I once used to love turns into fear and anxiety. I absolutely hate gambling now and I'm glad because I save money lol. No one wins at gambling in the long run.
You really think no one wins in gambling? How about the skilled/professional gamblers like the poker players? I guess you played alot of the gambling that are based on luck or you weren't that skillful in those particular gamblings.
