Is the main purpose in gambling, always to make more money?

[leowonderful]

What you have said is true, I haven't seen an established casino shutdown themselves because they are bankrupt but instead of that, they are expanding and adding more features that's going to get more players. But you shouldn't forget too that we humans created gambling and that is to find for something that can be enjoyable and get incentive while getting involved to that activity. The given example aren't really the deflection of what gambling is but it's the reason why most gamblers are in it.

Funny you mention that you haven't seen any established casinos shut down from bankruptcy because I believe that Donald Trump's Atlantic City, NJ casino went bankrupt partially as a result of bad management and the poor environment for casinos there in the first place, but it's certainly true that the vast majority of casinos are very profitable. I do agree with your statement overall that gambling's designed to fool people into thinking they can legitimately earn money through playing and it doesn't have to be that way, though.

There's even plenty of limits in place especially on many online crypto-based casinos such as a maximum win amount on some games so the bankroll doesn't take too big of a hit in the rare chance that a whale hits big, too. The house absolutely does win almost all of the time.

No No. I believe that the main purpose of gambling is to have fun. You can have fun either with your friends or yourself. Do not attempt to make more money with gambling because it can make you in debt. Moreover, when you more and more rely on gambling, you will soon become addicted to it. Therefore, always have in mind that gambling is only for fun.

We cannot rely on gambling. That is for sure, because not just become addicted, we can also lose everything, including losing our family because of our addicting. Perhaps, if we can tell other people about gambling, they will suggest not too often playing gambling because they don't want to see, we can become addicted to gambling. The first thing that comes to our mind when we play gambling is to have fun. But the main purpose of gambling can change once we play gambling in a month, and the purpose will be changed to make money besides have fun.

I disagree with your reasoning, gambling can serve as both a fun activity and a money making source. You can't just suggest it should be used as only a fun activity source based on the absorption, the likeliness of getting into debts is present. Debts only come in when there is lack of money management or poor money management, where the gamblers doesn't have strategic plans to minimize lost or cut spending.

The addiction only comes into play when you can't control your emotions, and getting attached to the game or your money which makes you to keep on paying irrespective of you lossing with the purpose of recovering your losses but end up getting more loss which brings about the poor management of fund I expressed in the first paragraph.

Responding to the thread title, i won't say the main purpose of gambling is just to make more money since different individuals will definitely have different motives towards gambling but making more money is likely at the top of the list, followed by having fun since majority of activities this days are fun related.

It's simple, in life you should try to do things that you like, if you get paid for doing what you like you have a happy life. If you do just for money, if that is the only purpose why you go to work, why you get married, you will have fucked up life! You can't do things in life just for money!
We live in materialistic world, so it's hard to do anything without it. It's on us to make some balance and to find a beauty in things we do, things we choose to do. We shouldn't put money in the first place, there are more important things than money in this life!

Out 100% of gamblers that want to make money, it's either 10% or less than that are actually making money. I don't have the stats and that's base only on my opinion because it's true that many are making it as a source but only few becomes successful.

Hehe, funny that after suggesting what other gamblers must do you have just suggested a lottery.

To some it up, don't' focus that much as you'll regret everything. There are lots of things that you can spend your time playing gambling as source of
entertainment and not source of your everyday income that will only cause you stress yourself and regret the whole time and money you spent from this activities.

Lets face it. Gamblers are gambling for the sake of money.

They are hoping that gambling can give them money in a short span of time. They become greedy shits and not thinking of the risks that they may face when they put their money in gambling. Worse, some gamblers are putting their savings or selling some of their items like houses and cars just to have money to gamble.

What you have said is true, I haven't seen an established casino shutdown themselves because they are bankrupt but instead of that, they are expanding and adding more features that's going to get more players. But you shouldn't forget too that we humans created gambling and that is to find for something that can be enjoyable and get incentive while getting involved to that activity. The given example aren't really the deflection of what gambling is but it's the reason why most gamblers are in it.

I also observed this. This is because the owner of the casino always win. When there are some gamblers who come out of the casinos with profits, the more are the losers and their money will go to the casino owner. Sounds funny but it is the most profitable business .

Yes, you are right. Most of the gamblers have money as the real reason for gambling. Casino business has expanded so much in the past years due to increase in the number of players. The owners no doubt make big profits out of their business because they already have a big share in the bet without doing anything.

someone who is already addicted to gambling, of course everything will be sacrificed so he can continue to play. most people do conclude that gambling is just for fun, but I'm sure more people have the goal of gambling to be able to make money

Gambling can either became stress and regret for the gambler or entertainment which all depends on the gambler if the gambler is fully addicted to gambling and continue to play without any planned schedule then he will lose much of his money and the needs of the life will make him sick while if the gambler is a genius person and he will gamble for a while and with a limited money then he will feel pleasure in gambling and will not face any lose.

This is the same with "gambling must only be for fun and never for serious matters". Must agree.

Really? I never know about that so basically that's already the answer to my experience that I have never seen one.  Bad management can really make a business close although it's making money from the gamblers and it can sustain all the expenses that it generates but if the people who are on the part of operations will not take care of it, that's the exact reaction and result that will happen.

It was easy to say like that but if you are actually in the actual scenario, you'll find it out how was addicted and could lead you not control the flow of your cashouts.

What have you done when you win at first bet? It surely you will bet again. That it simply drives you deeper and deeper and you will realize later that you are spending too much compared to the amount that you have won. Sounds ridiculous but that is how gambling attracts you to become addicted.

Very likely, many gamblers will become addicted when they win on a number of early occasions. They will return to gambling because of the desire to win more than before. Normal, but if its fun, then they should be able to control their expenses. Unfortunately not many gambling addicts are able to control their emotions and they are more vulnerable to spending more money than before because of the desire to win.

You can get out of the addiction if you still trying to reduce your time playing gambling. Using a small amount of money will also help you to learn about controlling yourself in placing the bet. I am sure that in the future, you will be able to limit your time and money, and you can stop gambling anytime you want. It is hard, and all people feel that, but if you have a big effort to control yourself, you will succeed.

I think people who have purposes for playing gambling is to make money will be many than people who use gambling for fun. Gambling is one activity that can attract all of them to stay for a long time, and if they don't have control for themselves, they will not easy to leave gambling. The addicting to gambling itself needs to be solved by using many ways that we can do so we can playing gambling anytime and stop at any time too.

You're right the desire to win even after losing so much is the problem why some gambler cant refrain themselves to stop playing already. Chasing the losses and greedy to earn are the common reasons why a gambler might lead to addiction. Its easy to say you have to gamble only to entertain yourself but if you are in actual game sometimes your emotion dictate you what to do next hence if you're a weak gambler you might end up losing your control.

People should really treat gambling that way.

I mean gambling is not something that people should be serious unless you have the ability or skill to be a professional. It doesn't mean that you can win games by yourself, which means that you can also be a professional.
