Gambling is an entertainment?

[slaman29]

So in your view gambling is business or entertainment,answer honestly.

In my view as a gambler, I see gambling as another form of entertainment but for the side of the casino owners and gambling site owners, they see gambling as their business. It depends on the person.

The problem right now is, many people are gambling because they believe they will win and get money in a quick way but that is wrong. I have gambled many times already. I win many times already but at the same time I loss many times too and I'm happy with it to be honest .

There are also some, very few of course, who see gambling as a profession (and not being the casino or gambling site owners). I see professional card players as a big example. Poker celebrities. They get paid to attend events, and get a share of the pot. They maybe even combine forces with other poker players and share a prize pot if they win together. But you're right, most people gamble and think they can win big. Reality check isn't common with gamblers;)

I do not see anything entertaining about gambling, it  is strictly for business, it’s a place to either win or lose and that is what business is all about, whatever that is meant to entertain is not supposed to hurt, and we all know how much it can hurt when we lose in gambling.

When people play various sport games, just for fun, not professionally, they sometimes get hurt in the process. But does this imply that their sporting activity wasn't meant for entertainment? No. Same goes for other entertaining activities, there's always a chance of you getting hurt either because of your mistake or an unfortunate coincidence of circumstances. Gambling is not much different form those activities, since there are prizes, adrenaline rush and fails and misfortunes in them too.

Then he needs to consider that gambling is entertainment too because in gambling, people will hard to get a win but the chance to get a lose will big. He cannot get fun from gambling if he thinks about gambling is a way to make money because winning in gambling games is only work for people who have luck. So it's better not to think that gambling can help you to make money.

That is the reason why people will get mad when they'll loss in gambling. They always thinking that gambling will give them a huge chances to become an instant millionaire if they could hit the jackpot but it is not easy to be like that. The house will win first millions before gamblers and this will be mean that we loss millions first before we got the jackpot.

They are wrong if they get mad because of losing money in gambling. They cannot blame the house when they lose money because they need to know that gambling was design for fun only and it is our job to handle our emotion, so we don't have to be sad if we are lost.
Yes, I agree with your said. The house will take the money first before the gamblers because they are controlling the game. So it is not worth to use gambling as an instant way to make money.

Most of the people states that gambling is form of entertainment but the reality is different gambling is like business where people look to make more money from investing little money but most of them will get failed.

So in your view gambling is business or entertainment,answer honestly.

In my opinion, gambling combines both activities: entertainment as well as business. It depends on your personal goals: getting profit or some fun. I found out that when it comes to investing money gambling ceases to be entertaining to me. So i try to not combine business and entertainment.

Well, just with the possibility to earn it is preferred as an earning source by majority of the people than giving importance as an entertainment. In my view one should be ready to bear his loss without any impact being created on his living when he loses into gambling. If that's possible then it can be preferred as an earning access as well as an entertainment.

That's right, me personally would not invest in gambling and play on it at the same time as it's kinda contradicting.
The fact that we are investing we believe it's profitable so if we play we are just wasting our money and we won't win because we believe it's the gambling sites that will win. You can gamble and play, but choose other type of investment, like investing in a coin or a project, even IEO nowadays.

For me, it's entertainment as long as you are comfortable with your winnings and your lost, if you can't stop yourself when you are winning and when you are also losing then it's not an entertainment anymore, it has become a vice to you, and once it becomes worse you will be needing a professional advice.

As we all said its part of entertainment as long as you handle your time, engaging too much will definitely a bad thing that will happen to you as  addictions follows and that will cause a problem in anyhow, entertain yourself and quit after.

IMO gambling is consist of both making money and entertainment. Personally, I never gamble for making a few bucks and my motivation is having fun while making money. WIthout entertainment, it is hard to judge idea of gambling.

[bitgolden]

Gambling games are entertainment that can give us the opportunity to earn a certain amount of money, but it should be reminded that we must not fully target to get money. Achieving money is a fortune in playing gambling and gaining pleasure is the initial goal of a gambler playing gambling. when a gambler aims to get money in full then they will be easily influenced by the nature of addiction and that is a bad thing for his life.

As long as there is an opportunity to make money, then it can be considered as a business too. There is no way you will commit money into a game without the expectation of getting back, I would say that its totally not possible, but you can only advise that we should try as much as possible not get too hurt when the money is lost considering that the player also had fun in the game.

In my opinion, I would say that gambling is the best type of business that comes with so much excitement and fun in it, if we are able to see it that way.

I believe thay this is depending on whos you are talking for,because i still have friends that only gamble if they want to make fun,they are allocating enough amount for that moment and what they do is just have fun,fun,and fun

I treat gambling as enjoyment but also for profit but i limit myself on what and why i am playing because in this simple way I prevent to he addicted again in which i am wayback

[Chikitita2004]

Ever since i became a gambler, i had never deviated from my own principle which say; gambling should be done with the intentions of entertainment. With this principle, i have made a reasonable amount of money from gambling, as luck could have it done on me. Also, with this principle, you are sure to be free from addiction.

And how much loses have you had? Your principle is good but it couldn’t guarantee anyone to be free from addiction in gambling. As drug addicts enjoy trying drugs from the beginning, they’ve also never thought they’re gonna fall to addiction later so I strongly believe that it is also the same with gambling. You enjoy playing, enjoy winning until you realize you don't wanna leave the place anymore.

It depends on one's perspective on how they view gambling either as a form of entertainment or as an alternative way to earn extra income. Each perspective has their respective advantages and disadvantages but both can ultimately lead to addiction which can break someone's life.

We cannot standardly categorize gambling into one type since it really depends on the individual's experience and perspective.

Gambling can be anything, It could be as a form of entertainment, a way to earn extra income, a hobby, or even as a form of bonding among friends or colleagues. Depending on how the individual views gambling, we cannot change the fact that it still has its share of advantages and disadvantages especially when we consider addiction to be the end-game cause of it.

[Coin-Desk]

Yes, gambling is an entertainment medium. Many see gambling as a good way of earning money but I think gambling is a bit risky to earn money. It is not easy to earn money by playing gambling. It is a very difficult and professional job. It is almost impossible to earn income by playing gambling with someone new or small experience. Probably more likely to be financially harmed by trading. I think a place in gambling entertainment is more than earning money.

That will be the same as me. I only think that gambling is for fun only, and although in a long time, I can make money, I consider that will be a bonus for me because I know that making money from gambling is the hardest thing that I can do.

When we can use gambling as entertainment, we will see that we can enjoy the game and although we spent some money, we don't mind if we are losing the money because we know that is the part of the entertainment. I think that will be the same if we are visiting the recreation place, we pay a ticket to enter to that place and enjoy everything in that place.

The thing is that you can't be "skillful" enough so that your win, or, in your words, "making some bucks" in the process was guaranteed. If it was so, we'd already have books explaining in detail how to gamble with profit. I mean, we have such books, but they are full of misleading garbage, and I wouldn't recommend reading them. Some fiction books on gambling are great though, but you won't find a "winning strategy" in them.

Gambling should be regarded as entertainment in the first place, and winning of some money as a plausible side effect.

[TheCoinGrabber]

That's what it really is. I always say that it's entertainment with chance of making money. It's like betting with friends while watching a game. You had fun and one of you will be very happy. People like to imagine they can game the system and walk away rich - that rarely happens.

Gambling can be a source of payment or salary if the gambler is professional enough. After reading the latest research, I came to the conclusion that gamblers like to take big risks after some level and this the end of the entertainment.

Don't professional gamblers pool money from other people to lower their loss? Or so I heard. The "investors" share in the risk and proceeds.

There is no skills needed in dice as it's just useless, no one can win in dice regardless of the strategy you have, you only need luck to win.
Skills is only necessary in skilled based games, and discipline is needed as well in every gambling you play to avoid losing control.

[bitcoin31]

Gambling is both for business and for entertainment. But mostly it is business because that's way of the other for them to earn money and they create gambling site or like casinos in real world so they will earn profit from the player while giving entertainment.
