Pretty sure enjoying and fun are the same in this case?

I also find it interesting that 0% of people admitted that they are addicted to gambling—this just seems quite unlikely. I've seen plenty of people here who are clearly addicted.

Personally, I play for fun, but also chasing the big wins. I almost exclusively play low stakes tables for fun, whereas high stakes are for the money (poker).

Some people are always claiming they are gambling just for the fun, passing out time or because they enjoy it. But the truth remains that a bigger majority of the people who gamble are in it because of the money and hoping they will win big.
I gamble because I love to win some coin but along the line I enjoy it as I do. Its also good you enjoy your game as you play it because it creates good possibilities of winning too.
It obviously that was a reason why they keep running to casinos, spend a lot of time and sacrifice their moment to their family. For those people who claim that they are just having fun, well, I don't think so cause it for sure we can't see their face smiling if they lose.
Winning the jackpot prize is what every gambler wants to win and that it makes them have the courage and play overtime (oftentimes).

We never know if they will smile or not if they lose Grin

People who gamble want to feel the excitement of the games with the money involved. They can say that thing in the first time they gamble, but soon after they gamble many times, they see that they have an opportunity to win the games, so they continue playing and hope that they can win the jackpot prize. But suddenly, they lose all of their money because of greed. Perhaps, we can say that gambling is one thing that we can do in our busy day and gambling will be a way to release stress but many of us getting trap in the gambling games because the longer we spend our time, the big chance for us to get addicted to gambling.

I'm gambling for fun so I'm enjoying everytime I play. I only spend about $20 to $40 everytime I play so I still have control whenever I play. I play for about twice a week or once a week whenever I'm busy with work so everything is still on balance. I do aim to win and take back what I lose but sometimes it is quite impossible as it all depends on luck.

Gambling is not a thing that can relieve stress, instead gambling is one of the causes of stress. Maybe that does not apply to some people who always win in gambling, but I'm sure among those people must have lost and then stressed. That is why gambling has been rejected in many countries.

Yes, that is true. But for some people who play gambling not too often, they feel playing gambling can relieve their stress. They can feel enjoy to play any games they like even if they don't get winning. But I admitted that many people got stress in gambling because they lose their money and they cannot win at all. Although it's rejected in many countries, gambling will still exist because people use gambling for any reason, especially to make money. I am sure we have a different reason why we are gambling.

And the poll is finally done. The majority of the poll participants have chosen their answer and they are saying that the reason why they are gambling is that they are hoping for a win. That is also one of the reasons why I am gambling. But that should not be the main point. I hope this is also clear to all the poll participants. Hoping to win on something that is more likely to lose is likely to end up a failed hope. Everyone must have fun in the game itself.

I have given  vote for Fun and Hope for win. I think everyone play with a hope to win even he is addicted or playing just for fun. You can't enjoy your time by losing fund by the way. But most surprising matter to me is no one till now voted for I am addicted.  This option is worthless, because an addicted person couldn't realise that he is addicted or he won't like to revealed his addiction. I believe most of part from gamblers are absolutely addicted and they hope for win also.

So overall we can say all people involved gambling have a hope for win.

I gamble just to have fun but at the same time hoping to win of course because whether you are a heavy gambler or not there will always a time that you are hoping to win though you don't expect it too much if your gambling for fun. It is better to gamble with the mindset of having fun so that you will not be stressed or anything unlike when you are gambling to earn money wherein you think too much about winning and losing and most of the time when you lose you tend to be too emotional which can be bad in gambling.

I think that because in the start gambler only play just for fun, enjoyment and for the win of course but as you notice no one votes for addicted in pool because I believe that if the gambler becomes addicted and realize it by experiencing bad effects of addiction then maybe they will stop right then if ever they encounter this pool maybe they become shy to admit that they become addicted in gambling perhaps because it can affect their image or what. And yes, a person that starts with enjoyment and fun but eventually without realizing they become addicted and in their mindset, it is not addiction.

Addiction f any sort will lead to committing crimes when the addict runs outs of resources. He cannot relax his brain and body without providing them same experience and then he has no way to get that thing. A slave of his own desires is prone to sins. This is why we are taught to practice discipline in every activity of life. Gambling is fun but the player should never lose control over himself.

If you select an option(1,23,4,5,6), reply

1.Enjoying- How much money does it go to weekly?
I do play mostly to have fun and there's no specific amount for this because I only depend on my extra money and I don't play weekly. In this way I can prevent myself from the addiction and I know gambling is not good if I continue to keep playing every week. I also want to earn money but this is not my main goal.

That is good of you to only gamble with your extra money. Most often, I cannot do that. I sometimes intentionally set aside a little amount for gambling. That is not that bad but I feel guilty at times for giving gambling a specific amount. It is as if gambling is a necessary thing for which I should allocate a particular amount. I think I need to be continually busy so that I can forget gambling longer.

Sometimes I am betting my altcoins that aren't worthy for me. Especially if there is a gambling platform that utilizes that particular altcoins. Because for me, trading that would not provide me any excitement and enjoyment. If I gamble those altcoins that I am willing to lose, I feel too much happiness to see my altcoins win, then convert to bitcoin and add to my investment portfolio.

4.Fun- You play Ofline or online casino?

Gambling is fun both online and offline but I always choose to go offline and play on the casino because of my friends who are inviting me to play with them, and we are having fun most of the time. If I do want to be alone then Online Casino is the best option for me to have fun. There's no specific reason for me to gamble and its not mandatory for me as long as I'm having fun then its ok to gamble sometimes but make sure guys to control yourself and don't be greedy.

It is as if gambling is a necessary thing for which I should allocate a particular amount. I think I need to be continually busy so that I can forget gambling longer.

I set some money for playing gambling as what you did, but I don't play gambling every day in a week. I can stop myself not to play gambling in a week or so, and I think you can do that too. I guess you don't have to think that gambling is a necessary thing that you should do in your busy day. But you can play gambling if you want and not because of gambling is a must thing. I think you can try to use gambling as a way to enjoy your day in your busy day, and never think about gambling is something that you should do. But yes, trying to keep your busy will prevent your mind from thinking about gambling, so you don't have to allocate some money to do gambling.

How about it's also a means to support the team that you like. For example, in the sports of basketball or any other sports that you are an avid fan of.

You bet for the team you like and you support them through it despite of the odds, there are gamblers like this and I sometimes do this although I understand that chance of losing is higher if some circumstances are applied.
