Gambling is an entertainment?

[kawetsriyanto]

but some people don't count on the financial possibilities and bet all money they have.

This kind of gambler really has no control and careless of their activity in gambling. He can have the possibility to get addicted to gambling if he always does that way. And someday, he may realize that he has no money anymore after spending all his money on gambling games. We cannot do that!! To enjoy or have fun in gambling, we should limit the funds/money to play. Also, we don't chase our lose in playing the games because the main purpose is to have fun, not to get a lot of money. Even still has a purpose to get money, but doesn't make it the priority.

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.

For the casino owner his business can be perceived as a game, too. As a casino management game. He plays every day how to make his casino visited by more people so that they leave satisfied with the desire to come again. To make the staff honest and friendly. So that there are no problems with the law. And so on.
That's why the casino game is an entertainment not only for the players, but also for their owners and management.

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.

Both of them are gamblers for me in a way, there is no difference to the one playing and the one who is paying.
I know few people who works like this, and we can consider youtubers too. Like prodigy and many more gambling content creator out there, they are sponsored to bet to a specific website and they get to keep a certain percentage of the total winnings.

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.

it is true while you we're watching sports and the same time you bet on the side you want to win and it becomes entertainment also if you are playing with multiple player than playing solo we it's kinda boring and yet of course if you keep losing emotion will come and the more eagerness to play more because we all want to get back what we already lose. But if it okay to us to win the it is really fun to lose money as long as it make us happy.

Fun to lose money? Are you kidding ? It can be fun if you have a lot of money and you have no interest in money. If you see gambling as really fun, then you do gamble within certain rules. There will be a certain amount of money for your gambling, even if you lose, you will not gamble more than that certain amount. And if you continue to gamble even after you lose and gamble more to recover that money, and lose more money again. that's not fun, you're in the first stages of gambling addiction.

It's just crazy to think that we are having fun when we are losing money in gambling, the fun there is when we are winning and even if we are so rich, we still look for some satisfaction in gambling, and that only happens when we are winning. The only difference is that if we are rich, we can gamble money that we can afford to lose, while people who struggle financially may not enjoy when they gamble as they can't afford to lose what they are gambling.

I do not know for whom it can be fun to lose money... For me it can be a nervous laugh when my bet does not win!
Maybe he meant that for him the fun is to bet on his favorite team and watch the match despite the fact that it can lose?

Only wins can make you feel good if you gamble online. But it will be different from those who go to a physical casino because the atmosphere is much different. Hang out with friends, laugh and that's the reason why sometimes gambling at a physical casino is so much more fun. However, you can still have fun with sports betting, but only if you watch it with friend. Right, mate ?

[Janation]

Does less focus mean less opportunity to win? No, this is gambling we are talking about, focus or not, skilled or not you can still lose.

If that's the reality, then why would we still chase to improve our skills? have you read some stories about gamblers getting big money from poker tournament or sports bettor who made a living on it?

Yeah, heard a lot of them, to be honest.

But you just follow their story where they are still winning, did you even know how much money they burnt on gambling? It is true that they are professionals, they won a lot of tournaments but are we all professionals? Are we all like them? You are emphasizing these people while if we will be talking reality that you wanted to that is just a small percentage of gamblers and the small percentage that actually win. I'd say, they are in that 5-11% of gamblers while the other is the ones who loses money from a small amount to huge amounts.

Winning definitely feels good, but we shouldn't try to be so heavily invested in our gambling. Only if winning doesn't really affect us anymore we can say that losing is not going to affect us either. In the end this would just be a dream state if mind, for me I am still invested in my bets. And if I lose I need to take a break to clear my mind again.

Yes, if not to treat bets as a kind of earnings, but just to place bets on your favorite team, you can enjoy even more experience! I used to do exactly that, the emotions from the match turned out to be even stronger!
Of course, it's always nice to win, but it's also good to get emotions from the game!

Well tbh, the goal of most entertaining games is to win, and in the case of gambling, money is involved which makes it seem bad, but really it's just in essence, similar to how you win in other games. Also I agree with how casinos need to develop a social community whenever people gamble. It kind of feels lackluster if you just gamble without any community interaction with others playing the same game. Sure, there could be interactions, but that's through third-party applications and only the people inside those types of groups are able to discuss, not all. Sports betting can be a solo one, though both watching solo and with a friend can both have an enjoyable atmosphere.

I mean, even in normal games like fps or moba, there isn't a guaranteed chance of winning even if we improve our skills. It's the same idea with gambling. Every game out there has some form or part where luck plays a huge part, and you're skill can literally do nothing about it.

[Debonaire217]

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.

Tbh, gambling is merely an entertainment for rich people. That is their game, why? Because they can afford to lose not like people that really work harder to have an amount of money that is come to them once in a blue moon. So, typically the customers of gambling is those people who wants to play with their money because in reality that amount of loss of money even if its a million, its nothing from them. I guess we should not be entertained with that.

[sayaya17]

Gambling is fun and entertaining. But that applies if someone wins in gambling. Pleasure will turn to sadness if a person successively loses a gamble.
For that, you don't get too greedy when at any time you win in gambling. When you win, you'd better take a few days off to gamble,
and enjoy your winnings, so you're more relaxed and entertained. Then play again in a fresher style, so you find new ideas for your next winning strategy.

My opinion with gambling just funny not wanna get more like investing and never have mind with gambling will me us rich, I know thousand time you try for gambling never give back with how much money lost from gambling, so I make gambling as funny only on weekend because I like football and try to make prediction with football match. Not good impact if you continue running with gambling site because there no chance for us to get more in gambling, always have feedback they will take back your profit from gambling. Better if you get jack pot better to left gambling and save with your profit, just take little to start gambling again. Never have mind when getting jack pot you try to double your betting money because is bad impact.

You are 100% right, there is nothing like improving skills in gambling, the fact still remain constant, that the more we gamble the more we lose, the more a gambler thinking he is more professional and gambling often is the beginning of his failure which will begin by using high amount of money to gamble leading to gambling addiction which will drain the whole money he has. Gambling is better be in the way we use low amount and never playing often.

Ohhh right, these was the idea that came into my mind when I was thinking of how Gambling would be an entertainment. Gambling is a rich's person problem when it comes to losing money but its a possible job to a striving person. Still, we cannot blame these rich people since some of them were born in it and some made money just by gambling specially some fanboys.

~ snip~ For that, you don't get too greedy when at any time you win in gambling. When you win, you'd better take a few days off to gamble,  and enjoy your winnings, so you're more relaxed and entertained. Then play again in a fresher style, so you find new ideas for your next winning strategy.

If anyone can follow this method then we should call him a successful gambler. But the true fact is, we say gambling is fun, then take it seriously to make money. Most of the gambler don't stop after decent and good profit. Without taking a break they become greedy. And very few gamblers can accept the losses. For this the fun of gambling disappears. And no strategy can give the surety of profit.

I think unless you're a super gambling guru/genius ( like James Holzhauer who was the jeopardy champion who gambles for a living) approaching gambling as a hobby or entertainment is the best course of action. I know NFL very well, I watch it a ton, and have for many years..but even I know I'm outmatched by Vegas.  Gambling as a job is super risky, obviously.

[Webetcoins]

I think people can stop after a decent win, the problem is not stopping that day, the problem is stopping for good. If you end up gambling 100 dollars and win 700 dollars, do you stop?

I mean sure you can stop for that day, or even that week, hell take the whole month off if you want, but eventually you come back and that is how casinos get you, not because you quit for a while but because you can't quit forever. That is the real trouble with gambling, sure you can win time to time but if you want to keep grinding and winning all the time, you are going to end up losing eventually.

For that I suggest games like poker, where casinos do not care who wins because they take a rake, so you could potentially win all the time without losing much if you are very good at it.
