Gambling is an entertainment?

[swogerino]

We should always consider gambling as entertainment because we shouldn't consider it a money making method. If you consider it as serious you will start losing money, don't consider gambling as serious because it will surely kill us a lot of you consider it as serious.

Chance of losing is high but don't say that it will 'surely kill' those people that will be dealt in gambling. That's a misconception or you are using a wrong word with what you believe.

You probably have another meaning of 'kill' or you are into that extent to think that it can really cause that casualty for most gamblers that will treat gambling as serious source of income.

Gambling is not for the faint hearted person.While everyone starts out for entertainment purposes only many persons are sucked into addiction.

Gambling is for people who have great self control and have great reasoning and thinking deeply for a case and not for people who rush and don't think of the consequences.These last people are often sucked into addiction.

Gambling is entertainment for me, I know some hardcore players can make it a way of living, but for most people gambling its pure entertainment and a great way to spend some free time.
In gambling it is important you know when to walk away when you have made a good win if you just keep playing you will lose it again.

I don't think you can say the same for "most" Gamblers though. It is entertainment for a lot of us but when you put huge amounts of money into the equation, it becomes a different game. Some people manage to still be in control but a lot of gamblers tend to fall apart especially when they lose significant amounts of their capital. Then it becomes less of an entertainment.

I see gambling as a full business on its own. People gamble because they want to have more of what they already have by making right predictions. The entertainment aspect is undeniable but it only is a secondary factor.

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.

I think you should talk for yourself, or maybe start by saying in your own opinion, because am sorry your point is quite a baseless one to me mate. Gambling might be quiet risky but many are still cashing out daily and making a living.

 I am glad you mentioned that it is a professional job, and if you know the meaning of this then you should understand that every professional job is a good source of income that requires good expertise.

The reason why too many people loose in gambling is because they play without knowing the game very well, some just assume it is a game of luck.

Well, it's really a pure entertainment, unexpected situations are always the points that make a strong impression and attract players but many players have missed that, ignoring pure entertainment, they are aiming for profit and greater benefits from gambling, spend too much time and money on gambling to find bigger rewards. And this greed has given them a proper punishment, there is no reward here, only long-term loss, hoping that many people will soon wake up with gambling, don't let this entertainment game become a knife to stab them, losing too much blood will lead to death.

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.

Gambling should only be treated as entertainment, but over time, it can change without us realizing it once we start enjoying the game. To maintain our goals in gambling, we should play only in limited time and with limited money. Otherwise, what we plan might change and we begin to treat it as a means of looking for income.

You're right with what you said and I believe majority' of gamblers are aware of that but the thirst for the winning without keeping their buzz fever in check is what mainly lead to addiction, someone said depression and lost of marriage/relationship but if ones still keep his buzz in check along with having some break such person will always sees gambling as an entertainment.

Even though most people play gambling only to seek pleasure, but when we gamble, of course there will be many people who feel disadvantaged and benefit. not a few people focus on gambling because they certainly expect a big win in play with a focus on playing using a mature strategy to produce quick profits while playing

So, gambling games, in my opinion, are entertaining investment games.

Investment implies a regular yield and ownership of an asset.   People wrongly use investment for buying BTC when it gives no yield for example.    It is possible to side with the house and have funds join the cashflow of a gambling operation.   Then you are helping to operate the games and its an investment.

The only other context I can think of would be to gamble with a fixed mathematical model and operate a strategy for profit.  If someone setup a company with that premise and then went to business with funds expecting a positive return then at least the idea is investment based I guess even if I doubt how possible it is exactly.   I have heard of very big gamblers negotiating their own terms to help raise revenue with casinos, that might work with alot of skill maybe

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.

I did not hear about it yet, because there are so many gamblers who are gambling with own income, it is responsibility of a gambler to gamble well with proper information, risk will reduce with share, if we will share our risk with each other it will increase number of gamblers, so we can gamble along with enjoying the changing of situation but gamblers should play with confidence.

Well said.

The entertainment that gambling gives isn't really the main thing that the operators want to provide to their customers. Yes, it is the secondary factor because the main thing is to make people think that they can make money with it.

And when the mind of the customers are already set, there goes the entertainment factor where you can feel the intensity when you're already on that part of thinking to wager more to win more.

And it is kind of mysterious how people get addicted to it.

In our country, fiestas are a thing and a lot of people are really waiting for it, not only the fiesta but also the trucks that bring gambling games before the fiesta. I am saying mysterious since, in a way, they would say that they are not addicted to it but they are obviously into it. I mean I asked someone I know if they are already addicted to it or not and his answer is "no, I'm not, why would I?" but their actions speak louder than his words.

Gambling is for people who have great self control and have great reasoning and thinking deeply for a case and not for people who rush and don't think of the consequences.These last people are often sucked into addiction.

When people decide to get into gambling game, this is the mindset they usually have too and they promise heaven and earth not to become addicted like that friends of theirs that is already addicted to it, and then when they start and the game becomes very entertaining , they realize that they become addicted to it, especially when they are playing gambling that requires live winnings, they always feel there is still a chance left for them to win no matter how much they have lost, so they keep hoping and playing it until they become so addicted to it. The best way not to get addicted to gambling is to never play it.

Really gambling is not just an entertainment,if that is meant foe entertainment we have lot of options to choose without taking any risk but gambling is something combine with business and fun.

[guoyu78]

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.

Like there are different ways a Bitcoin could be used. It could be used for money transaction, storing value and in gambling, there could be many reason behind why people gamble. I gamble purely for entertainment and at times want to win as well but a loss will not make me worse off.

There might be people who would try their ass off to win and a loss will affect their mindset. There might be people who would look for both the factors like risking within limit but always focusing on multiplying their bitcoins. If you want to multiply your bitcoins then you may not gamble even for entertainment purposes too.

I think gambling is entertaining only for those lucky ones who can gamble away some amount of money without it having a negative impact on their lives whatsoever. Not that many people have that luxury or the self control to quit when it stops being fun. People are associating entertainment with the dream of winning big but when that doesn't happen the guilt trip starts.

[freedomgo]

I think gambling is entertaining only for those lucky ones who can gamble away some amount of money without it having a negative impact on their lives whatsoever.

IMO, gambling is more entertaining when you feel the thrill on it, if it will not affect you if you loss then I don't see the fun in gambling anymore.
We gambling what we can afford to lose, but that doesn't meant it we can throw that money.
People loves challenges and we find good challenge in gambling, we don't have the same financial standing in life but we stick to the rules that we gamble on what we can afford to lose only.

Gambling is entertaining for everyone if they play just for fun. But moment you only play for money then it is not worthy because just for money you can lose a lot money and then it would be late by then when you realize it . So be cautious.

I think he has used the world Kill in the true sense. If anyone is playing gambling as the only source of Income, he would not be able to continue it for long. Gambling is a risky business, and even if you are able to won for few days, a day will come when you will lose big. If you lost all your money and you have no other source of income, it will be a serious problem for you.

I have never seen any addicted gambler that admits to addiction but this doesn’t make gambling it mysterious. There is nothing mysterious about gambling addiction, its self-made and that is the reason why most addicted gamblers are always ashamed to admit to been addicted to the game. Gambling addiction happens when the gambler stays for too long on the game.

It is okay to have fun in gambling but it is wrong to spend so much time on the game, all in the name of having it for entertainment. This is where gamblers get it wrong, and before you know it, it grows to become addiction.
