Gambling is an entertainment?

[kawetsriyanto]

It is on your own opinion, mate. The reality, gambling is also a real entertainment and can have fun on it once you don't think too much about the money. There are many fun games on gambling, why not to enjoy it? But if your focus is only about to win big money on it, surely you won't enjoy it and never plays the games to have fun. Anyway, even you want to have fun or make a serious goal of winning the prize, don't forget to limit your funds. As you said "investing little money", so never think to use all your money and be uncontrollable because of chasing the losing money.

There is no loss in gambling if we considered this as a form of entertainment. But the problem is that most people who'd come in gambling are seeking for money, chasing those losses in the past. Yes, we can't deny that all gambling sites offered such a very attractive rewards, winning jackpot just to gain attraction but not a thing we need to chase of. Winning in the jackpot is bonus to us and it adds life to us but we don't be fool to think that we can easily get through it and win. That is wrong, better entertain ourselves, nobody knows if someday you'll get the prize surprisingly.

If people think of gambling as entertainment and fun, they will avoid problems in the world of gambling. Because people who regard
gambling as entertainment, most of them have their own budget to play gambling and will stop playing if the capital is used up.
Very different from people who make gambling a source of income, will be obsessed with making a profit. And this can bring a lot of
problems, one of which is they will not stop playing gambling until they get a profit, in the long run it can be addictive.

Why this thread had been bumped up once again?

For the sake of on topic reply, Gambling is indeed for entertainment but people do go overboard and treat it as a source of income instead that's why
lots of people do mess out their lives because of too much loss.

You cant get rid of addiction then you'll suffer the consequences.

Of course, gambling is an entertainment. Only because of the psychological disorders that are observed in some people gambling can turn into a strong dependence, which can eventually lead to very unfortunate consequences. If you notice that one of your relatives becomes dependent on gambling, it is better to consult with health professionals.

Even how we wanted to help a gambling dependent (or much better called addicted) but if they don't want to be assisted nothing we can do.
I have some friends and relatives that I once approached to either stop gambling or consult to specialist but what I received is anger so I stopped doing such instead I let them realize those things along the way.

Gambling discipline will come from our own and the desire is controllable if we have a good mindset and dedication in each thing we do,either gambling or not.

No, gambling is not an entertainment.
Gambling is a business where we experience profit or loss for every blessed day we play. Many hadn't make a good money from gambling just because all their predicted game always come through for their favour to win. Many has loss a lot of money in gambling hoping they want to recover for their lost that is still keeping them loosing. Gambling is a luck either you win today or lose tomorrow that is gambling.

[Salauddin1994]

In the past betting was seen as a form of general entertainment but quickly it becomes a regular gamble it is becoming very popular among the traders  gambling depends entirely on luck the chances of winning are much higher if traders have good knowledge and skills about gambling. Making money here is as easy as it is difficult initially many people who started gambling just for fun became addicted to it this addiction pushed them towards various evil deeds they start doing bad things to make money from gambling repeatedly to get their money back after the gambling has had a devastating effect on the brain gamblers become anxious and helpless.

It depends on the perspective, if you are the player then it is more than just an entertainment for you because there are stakes that are directly affecting you. On the other hand, if you are an audience then it can be considered an entertainment, that is my two cents on the topic.

As long as you don't use gambling to make money, you will only use gambling for entertainment because you realize that making money from gambling will not be a good idea. But maybe you should search for another thing to be used for entertainment because if you use gambling for entertainment, you will only lose money, and that losing money will be bigger if you can not control yourself.

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.

Agreed, but these gambler you are referring with are few only, majority of the gamblers are pretending to be an experts or professional one.
But there are some gambler are just here for fun and amusement only, it doesn't matter for them if they lose or not and these people are surely mostly belong to a wealthy type of person something like that.

[MI6]

Honestly for me I look at it in two different things but it depends on my needs if I have some money or extra fund I look at it as an entertainment but if I needed money or needed some fund I look at it as a source of income which is very risky.

[jostorres]

This is the scary type of person that gambles. If you see gambling as a business and if you are a gambler yourself, you are getting involved with a business that is literally mathematically against you profiting. I am not saying it is impossible to profit, you could make some short term gain while gambling, but a business should be as forever as it gets, obviously we all die so sooner or later we won't be working, but I can tell you that if you want long term business, gambling is not the solution.

This means we are talking about entertainment only, if you see it as entertainment you can definitely have fun, I think it is more fun than many other activities I do, but I do not see it as business, I see it as spending money on something to have fun.

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 is an entertainment and it should be treated that way, you can play comfortable and without pressure if you treat gambling as stress reliever from your work, you allocate funds for betting, and if you win that means additional funds for your gambling activities next time, do not expect to make money or think that you recover your losses, you will end up losing more if you think that way,

Yes, if you think of gambling as just entertainment then you have to be consistent and not play constantly and there are limits to be made.
play when you need entertainment or to fill your spare time, limit the stakes and use extra cash, play casually and enjoy the game to entertain yourself.
and even though gambling is only for entertainment, it still requires sufficient knowledge and mastery of gambling that is played and continues to be played in a disciplined manner so that luck can be obtained.

Gambling is what you want it to be. If you see it as an investment and you are successful at it then you have every right to see it this way. If you are bad then you are a bad investor and you should consider switching to something else. If it is only entertainment for you then you probably don't care so much about winning and losing and any profit you make is just a nice bonus.

[Savemore]

It will depend on the perspective of the gambler, for me; there will be 2 perspectives which are treating gambling as source of income and the othed is treating it as entertainment or fun only. For sure that there are people who loves to spend in gambling because they are obsessed to the fun and excitement that they are getting from it and there some gamblers who are just want to double their money or to make profit by betting or by playing some gambling games. I'm a type of gambler who do both where I treat is as one of my sources of income while I'm having fun.

I have a stressful life and gambling is one of my way to cough up that stress and for me to regain my positive mindset. I always considering the risks and for me it is the reason why I'm not getting angry when I oose because I just following my plan and I understand that there are situation that I do not have any control.

When we can use gambling as entertainment, we don't need to worry if we will lose control because everything that we got, in the end, will be just to entertain and have fun. We don't think about the result because we don't search for that, and we only want to spend our time playing many gambling games. Maybe by thinking like that, we can prevent becoming addicting to gambling, and we can avoid consuming more money because if we think that it is enough to get entertainment, we will stop as soon as possible.

But if you think you think like that, it might be the start of it.

Most of the gamblers that are addicted to gambling might've just started thinking like that. They are just thinking that gambling is just entertainment and they are thinking they can control themselves. Then as time goes, it became a habit and as time continues they are not aware they are already addicted to it and can't actually get out of that "entertainment".

Gambling should be treated as an entertainment, even if you are good in winning you should still treat it as a way to entertain people, there's no way you can continuously win in gambling, there are people who are lucky in gambling that is why they win big amount but it will not happen all the time, so moderate yourself even if you are winning a lot.

Actually, it is true that a certain bad habit can lead to addiction especially we are not aware to our current psychology, an entertainment can lead to addiction if we are spending most of time of it and doesn't have care anymore in some of our habits. But the good thing is we can control it as long as we have awareness to our current psychology. If we feel that we are now becoming addicted to gambling, that is the time that we should make a move and for me rest is one of the keys for us to not be addicted wherein we will create discipline in order to control out greed. I'm really amazed for those people who manage to entertain their selves through gambling while controlling their greed where they stay normal and not feeling addicted to what it is.

If we all treated gambling as entertainment I think casinos would cease to exist.Casinos rely only on the greediness of all the gamblers to make money and don’t be fooled by those statements that we see on Tv ads like gamble responsible etc.They are just to be conform the law in different countries.

It is very difficult to be a gambler who only plays for entertainment.I myself have suffered until lately from slot addiction but now the last times I have played a maximum of 5-10 Eur and stopped if I didn’t win anything.So I think I am pulling out of addiction slowly.

They would still exist because they will always be in profitable situation, no matter what.
If we treat gambling as an entertainment, nothing will change, we are still gambling using our money but it's leaving a burden on our part as we are having fun.
