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.
I agree with this statement. Those people that are rich doesn't really care on how much they bet. That's why whales in crypto trading are called the high rollers in gambling if they are engaged on it.

The people who use gambling for their income source or as business they are completely foolish. I am not saying that we cannot earn some money from gambling but your aim should not be making money from it. It's like you accidentally won money while you play games. Gambling is nothing but entertainment as long as you are in attained we are going to be fun but when you lose the fun and start being serious and start taking the high risk you are gone. Casinos and not build for you or you're earning they are built to make a profit to their owners so you can never beat the house edge with any sort of technique.

This is what happens to addicted gamblers, but mostly gamblers are not addicted. They forget almost immediately about the lottery tickets they bought until the next round, and then they check whether they won, and if they didn't they forget about the whole thing and move on. Visitors of gambling sites are acting in the same manner. They play 30-40 minutes losing what they can afford to lose, for some people it's $0.5 and for others it's $50, and then they start doing other things not even thinking of chasing their losses. Yes, you can win with gambling, but it's just a side effect of your entertainment, it shouldn't be the main goal.

In my own opinion, it depends to a person if gambling is an entertainment because when it come to rich people they only gamble for entertainment that they don't care on how much they have spent, and there are gamblers who consider gambling to earn easy money or use it as an income. There are cases if you consider gambling as an income you might have a chance to get bankrupt or addicted. But for me, i only consider gambling for entertainment and for leisure time because sometimes i don't care on how much do i have spent in gambling and i only gamble to enjoy playing in my favorite bitcoin casino where it offers great bonuses and prizes and they have a lot of casino games like poker, roulette, blackjack and slots which you will actually enjoy it. Lastly, don't use gambling as your main goal for earning profit because it is really difficult to do. A player cannot get rich in gambling because thee only people who can get rich in gambling is the dealer and the owner of a casino. But if you really wanted to earn in gambling you should always limit yourself on your winnings and your losses in gambling for you not to get bankrupt.

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. Cheesy

It depends on how you looked at it and what do you want to get out of it, people treat it as a past time, while others want to make money out of it, you are responsible for how you play it, and how you can tolerate gambling so I voted yes, it's a form of entertainment.

You should have limited time when gambling because it can become addicted and will stop as being entertainment.

Can we really play gambling as entertainment without becoming addicted to it?  I doubt if this is possible because I see also all the gamblers been addicted to it after playing it for sometime.  It is very important we do tell ourselves the really truth about gamble and to me there is nothing like entertainment in it.

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.

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.
Considering a gambler would think that gambling is a good business, it is likely that he's into higher risk than the operators. It won't be losing all of the time, there are good times in it and what's the most important is when you should start taking the profit.

And a gambler that would risk all of his savings in gambling has a serious problem. He's not looking into gambling as an entertainment but sure of what his doing that he want to make it as a source, this isn't new.

We can continue to gamble for long time when we can able to afford money for it.For me it is not more than entertainment but sometimes I consider it for making some profits through my free crypto earnings,but never think it as kind of business for keep doing to make money.

Gambling is a popular form of entertainment around the world, but many consider it a kind of investment. You can invest in casinos and profit from it daily or monthly. Games are at risk, but the odds win when investing in huge casinos. Why don't we choose it as a form of investment?

It depends on each and everyone of us most of us,
Right now most of us see's it as a business,
And some of us see's it as an entertainment and I am part of it,
I like to gamble to have fun to relieve some stress .

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.
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.
If the aim of gambling was just for entertainment, then won’t be money at stake, and the operators would have probably made it free. Whoever that is setting up a gambling site, is doing it solely for the purpose of making money and same goes to players of the gambling game too.

Even though most players will never agree they play for money, I feel the reason gambling is that entertaining is to make players spend more time playing so that the site owners can make more money.

The main purpose of gambling isn't entertainment but we have choice to think that whenever we gamble, we can at least think that we're having fun and doing it for the sake of entertainment.

And this idea can also be a mind trick if ever you're in big loss, just think of it that you're all in for the entertainment to lessen the pain of losing.  Cheesy

So you think that gambling is to make money and not an entertainent at all because the operators don't make it free to play? Have you played paid games? What do you think about those game? Is that the way to make money or to have fun? However gambling sites won't make the game totally free (some gambling sites conduct a quiz or giveaway to help you earn funds to play) because people can earn some money while having fun with it, also it needs cost to maintain the servers.

They are completely foolish indeed. Most of the gamblers right now sees gambling their another source of income and they invest many money on it but it is wrong. They don't know that this is a way to lose their money. If they win then its good because aside from getting fun with it, they also go home with profits.

Gambling for me is for fun only. I also lost in gambling too but I don't care with it because I'm just doing it for fun only.

If they are profitable, would you still call it foolish?

Think again, there are people who are making a living in gambling and that does not mean that everyone can, those who think
they can make money when they don't have the capacity are the only one we can call foolish, give exception to the smart ones.

In depends on the player but for me bitcoin casino is an entertainment because I enjoy playing! yes I get failed to get my money get double or triple but in the process I enjoy the game it gives me excitement in every bet I make. I am playing at Vegas Casino playing there is really fun and fair. You will not feel losing if you are enjoying every bet you make I play hundred of games right there but the blackjack is my favorite and very entertaining. and in addition the bonuses make the gaming more enjoyable. Yes I lose sometimes but I always win on their bonus. they have new bonus every week or month and it is fun participating there because you will get your reward with no hassle. For me the bitcoin casino is for entertainment!!

The way gambling was created?I think not for entertainment but for enjoyment not for the players but for each individual.i myself consider  this  as enjoyable are in which i can unwind and treat myself after stressful day from work

But ofcourse i will not be hypocrite to deny that i sometimes look for a chance to also profit in being lucky,though many of us use this as profiteering tools to live

Perhaps, we need always to remember that gambling was created for entertainment using the money inside the game. We don't have to think about how to make money from gambling because that will be too difficult for us to win in the game and only people who have the luck that will get that.

Being lucky is difficult because luck will never tell us when it's arrived and it still a mysterious thing. And when we can think that playing gambling is for having fun, get entertain from the game, we don't have a big expectation of winning big money from gambling since we are difficult to be the winner.

Yes course, gambling is entertainment. People enjoy gambling for entertainment. Gambling is just to play for fun. But many people play gambling in earning money. But gambling is not good for earning money. Money is needed to play gambling. However, it is best to invest a little amount of money in gambling. To play gambling for entertainment, invest a small amount of money.

Many people will not consider it as entertainment because they bother it as a money-making way, It is always good to gamble for entertainment because we can't keep on focusing on our work. Through gambling, we can refresh our mind where we can leave other tensions. So it is good to invest very less amount of money for gambling whenever you have free time.
