Why are you gambling?

[Maotezi]

I run a small poll, on the topic of "Why you gamble," it goes without saying why you chose the option.
I would also like to know how old you started to gamble?
 
If you select an option(1,23,4,5,6), reply

1.Enjoying- How much money does it go to weekly?
2.I love- Do you also like alcohol, as you like gambling?
3.Hope for a win- How much did you earn in one day?
4.Fun- You play Ofline or online casino?
5.I'm addicted- Ever since you found out you are a betting addict, what is your problem, does your father, grandfather or anybody else gamble a lot?
6.Other- What is the option, explain us a little better?

Is there not an option "because I like to spend my crypto"? I don't really gamble for any of the purposes mentioned above. I can't really have fun with my cryptos or spend them on something that I can't with the fiat money. You can argue that I can gamble with real cash but the complications one has to go through are unbearable. I'd rather sit at home and try my luck with the pennies I wouldn't regret losing.

[smyslov]

I select these two

1.Enjoying- How much money does it go to weekly?

Not really that big and it differs enough for me to stay an hour or two betting small amount, I've tried to extend the fund that allocated so I can enjoy the game more.

2.I love- Do you also like alcohol, as you like gambling?

I cannot compare this to alcohol, I just love the excitement and the joy I'm getting while gambling specially when I won in my last bet.

[DaveWave]

I chose fun and the hope to win. I play offline and online casino but most of the time I do it online. I cannot say I am earning on gambling regularly. It is difficult to beat the house. Today I earned $80, not exact as I use crypto currencies. I was just lucky today and yesterday. Yesterday I won $60 too. But before that I lost or break-even or didn't gamble at all.   

What is the connection between a liquor lover and someone who loves gambling?

1.Enjoying- How much money does it go to weekly?

I only enjoy my luck every week so I don't spend as much money as long as I make money every week, in my bets, I only rely on luck every week ...
so I enjoy it every week.

[Reatim]

i think these 2 is what applicable for me since the combination of both explains my reason for gambling.

first is this
3.Hope for a win- How much did you earn in one day?

Answer: lets be truthful and not hypocrite we are playing because we are hoping for some winnings right?

second is this
4.Fun- You play Ofline or online casino?

Answer: i play in traditional casino(offline) when i want to feel the ambiance and the sorroundings and i also play Online when i am lack of time or when im home and kinda boring.

[semobo]

I am playing because of a hope to win something big on someday,I am not doing it regularly or too often but when I gamble this thing will run in my mind when I am going to win those bets and also sometimes I get day dreams about winning a lottery.

My first gambling experience was playing head and tail online with Perfect Money (It was an online payment system, like Paypal but with less restriction). Never made a sustainable profit with it, probably because the game wasn't fair lol

3.Hope for a win- How much did you earn in one day?
4.Fun- You play Ofline or online casino?

I can't answer how much I earn in a day because I don't gamble regularly. I gamble mostly when there's an exciting tournament in CSGO and I have free time to watch and analyze the event. There are some events where I triple my initial deposit, and there are also times when I bust it You win some you lose some.

Online only because offline casino doesn't exist here.

[robelneo]

Enjoying and fun, to escape even for a short period of time on the many issues and hustle of daily routines, when you once feel how is it feel to be excited and have fun playing the dice and the roulette, you wish to get back from time to time, but I know there is a trap if I am not careful with the way I play, so I make sure that I allocate  with funds that I can afford to lose, so I would not regret later.
Sometimes I win and when I do I kept in for my bet the next day.

First I play gambling, of course, to have fun, and to enjoy mostly I spend quite a lot of money and get it from my profit in posting, and of course, I play to win money and get more profit from it, but it didn't go as well. But I notice while playing for a reason of enjoyment I didn't notice that little by little I get addicted and wasting too much money opposite to what I aim to win and earn money, well gambling is gambling I can't ensure a win for every of my game, in fact, I feel that I more lose than winning and end up stopping on playing because I don't want to regret anymore.

[dothebeats]

Truth be told I started playing to win, but over time, I figured out that there's no future for me in gambling professionally or to even make a decent living, so I decided to stop spending too much and just played whenever i have spare money that I can spend on booze but choose to gamble and take my chance on winning something instead. Right now I have successfully avoided gambling and am playing very rarely to satisfy my cravings for the thrill every now and then, though I wish I can resist the urge and use the money on something else instead.,

1.Enjoying- How much money does it go to weekly?

I don't really keep track of how much I gamble weekly and there no point tracking it since I only gamble in small amounts and I also don't gamble consistently.

3.Hope for a win- How much did you earn in one day?

the only worth noting in my winnings in 1 day is 94mbtc and that was in 2016 or early 2017 I think.

4.Fun- You play Offline or online casino?

I mostly play online since it is convenient and there are only a few offline casinos in my area and it is a hassle to go to one with the horrible traffic. that's why online casino
is the best option I got.
additional:
gambling itself isn't really that appealing to me. the only reason why I gamble is to engage my mind. I mostly like card games like poker, tong-its, pusoy etc..(In case if you're wondering what pusoy and tong-it is pusoy, Tong-its)
I also enjoy new types of gambling game as long as it is entertaining.

I feel you and honestly playing on landbased casinos gave me a shot of relaxing feel and it feels like I have a momentum in my hand though I just do this if I'm so stressed out. While playing on online casinos is way more convenient.

I would also like to know how old you started to gamble?

Started to sneak out to gamble when I was highschool, it's kinda exciting since it's prohibited on our school. 

[TravelMug]

I don't know, however I will give you guys some background, I grew up on a home wherein my father was a gambler. So I would say that I was influence by it because at a young age, I started to play gambling not for the reason giving by the OP, but because of the influence of the people around.

@acroman08 - I was more of a 'Pusoy' guy, Lol, learn that game when I was still a little, playing with my aunt and uncle at home way back.  

[Baofeng]

Of course, I play to win and have some fun as well. And I'm sure most gamblers here are attracted because they wanted to win money obviously. I play both offline and offline games, but I would say that I'm more of a traditional based casino player, because prior to my discovery of off-line games, I'm already hook up and going to casinos with friends and families.

[AbuBhakar]

Let's be real, we all hope to win that's why we still try. I hope to win or more of while I'm trying my luck I hope deep inside that I'm really gonna win be it on dice, poker or tong-it's. Though I don't know my earnings doing gambling but mostly I'm in lose. When I'm in lose I just think of it as a payment for fun.

[Wexnident]

Enjoying and for fun. I mostly spend around 50$ maximum but it can reach sometimes up to 70$ depending on how much I'm enjoying playing. I mostly play Offline casino, most of the time with my friends. Though there were instances where we went to gambling casinos and played together. I don't often go alone to casinos, so yup. Some may say that doing gambling as a way of stress relief may be a bit weird? or even crazy but it's actually quite nice. Seeing myself seething from rage just from cards and then comparing it to what my problems are, the problems seem like the cards now. Insignificant. So it's really fun and enjoyable.

talking about these days?for me its for FUN because i use to be an addict and i have done everything in the choices.

lol Pusoy,i always play Bangka since more chance of winning beating 3 opponents,but also more chances of losing if luck don't go with you lol.

[Yamifoud]

First and foremost the reason why I send my self into gambling is because the hope of winning the jackpot and I believe that most of us here think the same. Having fun, enjoying, and because I'd love to do it is just a white lies and out from the reality. Nobody spending a lot of time in gambling just having for fun.  

We came in here for a reason and really big enough that encourage us to stay almost every day for that sake. That is why many people being addicted because they wan't to get that memorable prize which it surely change their lives. Leaving to that dream, we can't just simply say that gambling is just for fun but because we are aiming for something possible.

Since you have option 1 which is enjoying, option 4 (fun) is kind of a redundant. I mean "i am enjoying" means "I am having fun". It is almost the same thing.
Anyways, I sometimes gamble just for fun. I enjoy gambling which brings up all the adrenalin rush making the (stressful) situation more fun. I remember open a lots of csgo crates not just for the knives or some good skins, I did it just because I enjoyed watching the out come.
I don't spend much on gambling, at least now. Just few bucks and that's it.
