Why are you gambling?

[onrise]

Aside from what was mentioned above, I find gambling challenging. when I play, I challenge my self to reach a certain profits at a certain point of time like in 1 hour, I should earn at least xxx amount already from xxx capital. However, if I am with someone I, I just enjoy the game, chat and entertain our selves, just have fun.

I think last line of yours is the one people should be looking at it beacuse above lines just represents that you only play for money and we know how much difficult it could be to make money from it and addiction level rises as well since it is bound by greed .

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

I just voted number 2 in the poll because it is totally enjoying to play gambling especially if you play your favorite gambling games. I'm not that kind of gambler who allocate huge amount of money playing and I usually spend 30$ - 50$ per week in playing gambling.

4.Fun- You play Ofline or online casino?

I usually play in online casino which is more convenient than going to real casino and play different gambling games. It's more fun in playing online casino and it just like playing in real casino because all games are already there.

Whether to play in online casino or visit a traditional one is actually a matter of personal preference. Some people are either lazy to go through all the hardship of getting oneself out of bed or shy in nature and like silence so online casinos is the right choice. With land casinos, the most exciting thing is environment. The energy in the audience increases the taste of winning or losing.

I think, buying Crypto is like gambling ?

Not necessarily. Buying crypto is called investing. Gambling and investing differes in many ways. First way: gambling requires pure luck while investment requires knowledge and patience. Second way: gambling is risker than investing. Third way: you can double your money in gambling and lose it too within a minute while in investing, you have to wait for weeks/ days/ or months.

Ok so I let me correct myself: Buying famous crypto is not gambling it is investing. Investing in ICO's regarding the reputation and the number of scam + no exchange can be consider as gambling for me.
And in crypto you can win a lot and loose a lot within a minute (pump and dump, manipulation, mistake on an exchange #Etherdelta)

I do agree, actually games has been made to give us enjoyment while playing using our money, it is important that you are enjoying since it is the sole purpose of it aside from earning.

Same here, I prefer to play card games and roulettes since I find it easy to play and fun at the same time. It also give you an intense feeling while playing.

Cards is the best game for those who are not having high knowledge about gambling as its easy and all of us are aware of the rules as mostly people use to play it at home for fun. So I am gambling only to earn money and to spend my extra time enjoying. I prefer easy games that mostly I have chances to win as I am not an old gambler but just recently started.

If you consider investing in ICOs as a gambling means that you do it blindly without doing some researches about the project, dont you? If you do it then you may also consider trading as a gambling if you do it blindly. Of course it is your own right to consider what you do as gambling or not, but in general both investing and gambling are completely different although luck might be involved on both activities.

[finaleshot2016]

I voted for enjoying because, for me, gambling is just entertainment for us and shouldn't be a way to earn profit 'cause it's very nonsense if you'll invest a lot of money and time just to win a pure luck game right?

Investment is way too far in the term of gambling, both have risk but the purpose of it is different. Investing has no luck to begin with, there's a purely mathematical solution or analysis to determine the risk and growth of the project. While in gambling, you can't easily calculate those 'cause it's a very strategical situation.

Or years. Did you heard about warren buffet's investment which took more than 30 years? If you invested bitcoin on 2009 and still holding it until now, you already turned multiple times your investment more than you imagined.
But actually buying crypto is like gambling, where you don't know what are you buying

If you consider the gambling as in investment then your money is at risks, of course your goal is to increase your money and you will be pressured to make money. It has effect to our phsychological mindset so don't see gambling as investment. For me it is just an entertainment where I can kill my boredom that is the reason why I control gambling and not gambling controlling me.

[DeathProxy]

I actually started gambling with the intention and big dream to win big someday but as time passed i discovered i was losing on regular basis due to my desperation for a win, i keep gambling with the hope to recover but as i keep gambling i keep losing not untill i stopped for a moment and took some time off to restrategize.  My new strategy worked and i began to win, right now i am not under illusion of winning big, i now gamble for the fun ofnit. Mostly i gamble with English premier league football.

[Capt00]

I gamble just to have fun when i'm bored and I play both online and offline casinos. I will go to a traditional casinos only when i'm with my gambling buddies because we find it a fun playing with friends and also it is a form of like bonding. On the other hand, i'll play online if I don't feel like going out but i'm bored but I seldom play online, most of the time I go to a traditional casino.

I agree. Also cryptocurrency investors can actually gamble with their coins by trading leverage or investing in pump and dump. Leverage trading kind of qualifies as gambling, though less risky than most luck-based gambling but probably riskier than some skill-based gambling.

It's less risky to those who have skills because what you give as an example might fall to "skilled based gambling", hence, you need skills to win.
Luck based games are fun but you will not win in the long run and no way you can develop your skills, the saying that the house always wins is true.

ohh,but what if you did not reached the target amount for the certain time with the capital allotted ?you will automatically stop?or just continue until the amount of capital lose already?
just curious because i am doing the same way now but limiting myself to at least win this xxx amount or totally lose this certain capital.

I never experience how to play in offline gambling casino but I can imagine how have fun it is if you and your friend gamble there together. This is mostly like on every gambler, to have fun and the second one is hoping to win as well. But obviously why gamblers have to gamble because of chasing money and they are thinking gambling is a source of income.

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

To be honest, I can look at those histories and that will all be painted in red so I don't think I am getting any profit so to minimize the money I am using weekly, I slowly reduce the money I am using.

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

As I said, my history is painted in red so I don't usually earn a profit but I do enjoy and continue to hope that I can still win but I think I am so far from that so I just enjoy the game.

[akirasendo17]

The reason why people spend time gambling is to and release some stress by playing although there are people that are addicted
i do gambling and only play with small amount , people tend to bet all their money when they lost a lot from the start and in the
end they will loose a lot, by not controlling their self which is very important thing that a person know , when to stop and when
it is already enough or to much , so when the next time you gamble always remember you are there to enjoy and relax not to spend
a lot of money and never bring home even a small amount for the family

[pandukelana2712]

A little bit feels funny with the thread title.
Why people need a reason for gambling?
Should people know the reason we gambling?

@OP: Are you made this thread for your research or just made for motivation yourself?

[Aikidoka]

I'm gambling mostly for fun. I don't consider it as a source of money or to become rich like most of gambler thinking. I know it's too risky and it's kinda addictive sometimes, but I'm good with self-control and I have my limits though. I'm used to gamble with my friend in sport games, mostly football games because we really enjoy to gamble together and seeing who's the one who end up winning.

[finaleshot2016]

@OP: Are you made this thread for your research or just made for motivation yourself?

IMO, I think he made it out of curiosity 'cause every people are curious if there are many people risking in gambling to gain profit or is it just for fun only. It's normal to ask some complex situations like this 'cause it's hard to tell whether the people are just enjoying gambling or being serious to get money on it.

@OP doesn't look like a gambler so I think it's for research.

Hmm..
I just imagine my wife ask me: "Pandu why are you gambling?"
WTF, she never knows I'm betting at football. And of course, I can't find the right answer to the question.

Should I answer the questions with this?
1. Enjoying
2. I love
3. Hope for a win
4. Fun

I think so.
