Gambling is an entertainment?

[Fredomago]

We should realize that their is a higher probability of losing on gambling and gambling is not an investment or job, at least for most of us. If we take gambling lightly and just for fun, not only we would be able to enjoy gambling without addiction, we would have a better approach to life and increases our risk evaluating skills. A life without risk is not fun but the risk should be manageable.

Probably for people who are not engaged that much this is really a good quality to enjoy this venue of entertainment. Acceptiing the fact that most of the time those who are heavy gamers are people who lose a lots of money, they are not capable of controling themsleves and ends up into addictions. If yu do have good control and you are capable of stopping or quitting without hesitation then it can be a good tool to begin with.

Managing yourself well gives you the advantage, as it can apply to your everyday life, I agree that not just around gambling activities but you can use it in your everyday life, the risk that you'll take can be more lessen in losing the most if you know how to control and manage your emotions, not too aggressive but willing to take and accept the outcomes.

I think gambling is an entertainment when you do not bet with too much money or do it just for fun. Otherwise it can start making you addicted to it and it could not end very well. So, we should be careful about it too.

As long as you don't bet with too much money and enjoy gambling games, you can prevent addiction to gambling. We must treat gambling as entertainment, so we don't get too deep into gambling games, leading us to lose much money. But many cases show that people use gambling as entertainment as the beginning, but after they feel enjoy, they forget about controlling themselves, and they still use more money.  In the end, they will become addicted to gambling, and if they don't get out as soon as possible, they will become heavily addicted to gambling. That is a case in which we always remember to treat gambling as entertainment.

The description depends on your purpose.

If the purpose is for entertainment, you'll never spend what you can't afford to lose. The budget is little than the usual.

Because if money-making is the purpose, you'll understand that you will be bust out if you only have a little in your bankroll.

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.

But the Poll states is well that this is just for entertainment but the truth is majority of those who votes are an addict gamblers 

More are hypocrite claiming that they only wanna have fun but super angry whenever they lose because of their addiction lol.

Gambling is not  an entertainment the way people think. Gambler see gambling as a good business someone can invest  with any amount  to earn big or small like the way we run other business in our community. Many gambler don't reason the amount of money they have spend in a particular game, even though they are still loosing but they believe that one day win, can make them to recover all the money they have spend in betting those games.
Gambling is a pure business where gambler struggle to make a good profit and use it wisely.

I do gamble to make additional money. I can't find myself gambling to entertain someone else. My only business is to make more money that's why I gambling.
If I am winning or losing it all goes to me to deal with and to another person

If that's your only reason to gamble, then in long run you will always lose in gambling. You will be stuck in a time-hole where you lose and win and lose and win like this. And since it's so addictive, you will lose it all in the end. Better to just find any other profession that pays well instead of gambling away because unless you are the casino owner, you can't make high amount in gambling in long run!

He is gambling to make additional money, the reason is very easy to say but in reality it's the hardest thing to do.
If every gambler would gambler to make an additional money then people should not be using money, I guess we are gambling to give additional expenses.

Aren't we? haha

When you say your business, that means you have your own gambling business, is it Traditional land based gambling or
online gambling on which of these two anyway? But if you are just playing in the gambling site platform you are definitely gambling dependent
then if you get profit in daily with it, that means you a one of the expert gambling individuals, in which of the statement of mine is right?

[iTradeChips]

Here is the thing, there are two things we can think of it as a business. You can think of business as the owner of the gambling site or as a player. This is not really my strategy but this is what I hear and been shared to me by those who treat gambling as a business (and yes, they are gamblers). Of course if you are the owner of the gambling joint then you are only into profits. What can put money to the table and what can make the business prosper. For the gambler, it is managing the losses and the winnings so that you will not be in the losing money side of things. You treat you gambling not as entertainment but as a money making tool, and that changes your gameplay.

Most probably he's one of those experienced gambler who manage to get good
benefits from this business, there are only few people who can manage to go
out with good compensations as most are losers due to different kinds of reasons.
Taking this activity as serious as it is may give you some chances to learn the right
strategy then combine it with good control and you'll have it, the chance of taking
advantage winning around.

If someone is owner of a site, they still have to work on various other factors like retaining the players, giving them rake backs and bonuses so they will continue to play, giving them good help/support when they have questions and to keep them entertained! That takes lots of work as well, although there's huge profit to make as a owner of a reputed casino!

It depends on the aspect you look from. I think gambling is an entertainment. In my opinion, the reason is its being exciting. Especially sports betting is very exciting and I sometimes like to bet on football matches and see whether I will win or not.

This is my stand too. It depends on the player how he manages to play. What motivates to gamble, me personally it's just for entertaining and to kill time. But for others, it's the pot money or reward that motivates them. It's for entertainment because you enjoy what you are doing whether you lose or not. Winning is just a bonus as I said before.

If your motivation is to gain more, I think you will end up losing all if you cant manage to control your emotion.

Gamblers would lose out always, no matter what. Manage all you want, but as long as you keep on gambling, you will lose. The only victory in gambling is when you actually quit doing it. And as for the business owner, it isn't really on a casino owner, it applies to anywhere. Users only use something because it's entertaining, or it's useful. That's why everything keeps improving so that customers can stay.

The premise of using gambling to make additional money is already wrong tbh. Gambling is in a sense, something like online games, you play it to enjoy, not to earn money. Sure, if you're a pro, there's an earning aspect but honestly, pros earn because they have sponsorships and whatnot, but as an average joe gambling? It isn't really that suitable.

There are many people who are capable of earning extra money with gambling. And even some professional gambler consider gambling as their primary job. Motivation is not the only key lead you to success. Gambling contains many diferent factors such as controling emotion and money management. If you have motivation but you arent willing to learn more and change your perception, losing money is indeed the only result

[Astvile]

Meaning of gambling varies from person to person, one may take gambling as an entertainment some take it as a business and something to make money with. It just really matters on the person we don't see gambling in just one straight way.

They are gambling because they are getting paid and they are good at it. Some professional gamblers are sponsored and has salary just to play. Just like casino gunners. Yes it is possible to make gambling as a business but it is risky, you cannot win every time you go and play.

Well, yeah it is possible actually and I think it is happening. Why hire someone to gamble instead the owner? Well, lets just say that the owner wanted to gamble but had heptic schedule to play so he let anyone to play instead as a proxy in his side. Other than that the owner does not want to get carried away emotionally when betting. Losing for them is not a big thing because they hire someone to play for them and that they know that losing is always a possibilty to happen.

IMO, when you put your expectations too high, then you are not taking it as entertainment.
when you can bet and forget, then you are taking it as entertainment.

I don't know about professional gamblers who are sponsored and got a salary from gambling.
I think they are athletes, not gamblers. people behind them who paid for them to play are the real gamblers I think.

[nikola22]

Gambling looks like an entertainment because it is usually attached to a sport or game, but since it involves losing or gaining, it is no more entertaining to the losing side, it is more of a business in such way become only few and quite rich gambler just do it for the fun of it, as in to arouse the opponents seriousness to the game. Most people generally, gamble to make gain.

but some people don't count on the financial possibilities and bet all money they have. that's totally wrong approach because you should bet only little part of your money so losing doesn't affect much.
