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

[Sirait]

I think realistically, I gamble to make more money and not others...

based on the survey, almost 70% of gambling players have reason play gambling to make more money and the remaining 30% have reason play gambling for fun, so everyone's answers are definitely different.

I don't think it's always about making of "more" money, but just about making money, with other words - to always stay in profit. I do not see any reason to a person who gamble would search for more and more money. The point of gambling is the game itself and chances to win a prize. I guess true gamblers would be glad to have any amount of profit from that kind of games.

Winning prizes is the motivation why you play. Basically its making more money by betting the right choice. Some do it for entertainment, I wouldn't recommend gambling for entertainment really. Its best to just watch TV if you just want to be entertained.

30% are more of hunting ladies in the casino who lost thousands so they can bribe to join them for one night stand for money.

Indeed. It is no doubt that people who come to gambling are for making money or win the game. They must be interested to come because of the possible amount of money can be obtained. So, it is rather no sense if they come with the main purpose of having fun.

Yes. If someone really wants to have fun, taking a vacation or gathering with friends is a better choice than gambling. Or just watching TV as you stated above.

There are gamblers that who seek excitement and not the money. There is a documentary that I watched before about a gambler who seeking fun on gambling and excitement. He said money is not the reason why he is olaying, he became gambling addict where he spending most of his time in playing in different casino. It is really depends on a person on what he is seeking, it is not always to make money because there are people who keep seeking fun from it.

[Clark05]

Yes I believe the reason or main purpose is to get money from the gambling we know all that. 

Im still gambling because I want to earn money and I have time for that and amount of to use for every time I play but the money is small so that I cannot waste my life too by playing and I think Im not wasting my time in playing gambling because I can handle my self.

In life, we have many choices on how we could earn allot from living, hard work, or testing our luck in gambling. But in my opinion, some of the people are really in to gambling because it is what the community they face for a long time, and they probably believe so much to their luck. I can say, the purpose of gambling is to earn easy money. Let's take the idea of having fun in the first place, because having fun do really comes after earning money.

Gambler's purpose is to earn more money while enjoying the game. Who doesn't want to win right? All bettors hoping to win every bet. And some of the addicted on it just want to have the feeling of excitement when betting. I don't know if their purpose is just to enjoy without thinking the purpose of making money.

I guess people who gamble for their first time will not think about winning money because they will think about how to play games and enjoy the games. But after they play for several times, they will think about how to win those games so they can get the money. I have that experience for my first time, and the next time but then after I got losses in some time, I realize that playing gambling is not a way to make money. So I decided to try to feel the exciting moment in gambling, although I don't see my chance to win. I can stop the game anytime, and I don't have to worry about the bad things that can happen because I always limit my money in gambling.

Actually the aim, objective or the purpose of getting engage into playing gambling depends upon the gambler itself. It is not always about the money because there are gamblers who perceive playing gambling as for entertainment purpose only on which the aim is to relax themselves by playing. Others are playing gambling to learn new games or to gather new experience beyond usual and casual games that we usually play. Then there are also those types of gambler who play for the sake of earning money. Also, there are gamblers who are the combination of those gamblers that I have said above. Whatever the reason is, there are kinds of people who plays gambling depending on their preference and that depends on how thy perceive gambling.

Funny because I just tried gambling my TRX just so I can join a campaign in bitcointalk.  I failed to profit and then lose $135 instead. If I trade it on Polo, I could have profit more which is what exactly my type of thing.  I just joined a campaign yesterday to Bitvest so this is going to be still good earnings but will still buy back that TRX I lost. My purpose is to still make money and I think more than half of us think that way.

I can't disagree with you here. Because let us admit here, a lot of gamblers are hoping that if possible,  they can earn money from gambling. But on my part, I really don't treat gambling as one way to earn money. Maybe because I don't gamble very much nowadays and if I gamble, I use only small amount of money just to try the site or the game. I have learned my lesson well, as I had lost a lot before in gambling. I don't want to regret in my life that I spent a lot in gambling that I should have put it in other important things instead. So from time to time, I gamble just to pass time or just for fun. I can appreciate gambling in that way if I will not put myself in the situation that I have to think that I need to get back the money along with winnings.

Seen many times about this entertainment and fun purpose.

It's just the latter but the main is about making money with smaller amounts for not high risk takers but for those who made themselves a living  with gambling, they consider it as a source.

Even some gamblers are saying they only gamble for fun or to entertain themselves we can say that gambling can be a source of income too for professional gamblers who make a living through it. Well the purpose of gambling is for fun and to make money, it just depends on every gambler how they treat gambling when they play. I think we're already aware of the effect of gambling if you let yourself out of control.

you can always make a choice, but if you are good in gambling and you are winning, you can make it for fun and as a source of income at the same time.
That's how easy your life would be as long as you have the skills in gambling.

The effect depends on the gambler, if he got addicted, then obviously the effect would be negative, but if he is discipline, he is having fun, or making money out of gambling, then that's an achievement.

I think that up to now only professional poker players like the ones we see on Pokerstars in Tv.All other people and gamblers play to win money but only to face with losses.That is what happens to most of us unfortunately but the truth is we all play with the purpose to make always more and more money.

It's a fact and this entertainment reason, I think it's still there but not that the priority anymore.

A gambler will always aim to win and when we win, there's money = profit.

Well, it is true, this entertainment reason seems to be their way to escape the fact what they really after. I don't think that there are some people who only gamble without aiming to win money. There is no such person with the idea of burning money without expecting a return.

[Ailurophile]

Does gambling have a main purpose, to start with?

I like to believe that it isn't just for the money we gamble for other reason's as well like having fun,enjoying our earnings or our time.

Do you believe we are here for a reason?

Yes but just like the others I don't have a clue for whatever reason we are here.

If you had no time to waste in your life, would you still gamble anyway?

This is something that I find too hard to answer because if I would say yes then why would I still gamble and have fun when I know that I have no time to waste?
And we know that IRL there is really no time to waste but we don't know where and how to spend it correctly after all we are just enjoying what we could.

[peter0425]

some people have strong goals in gambling that they do, they make gambling as a means to be able to make money in a short time. This method is indeed very unethical to do because gambling is not a place to make money, on the contrary gambling is a place to spend money because most gamblers play just for fun. but over time, many people make gambling a job that must be able to make money by targeting victory in every game.

having a goal from gambling aside from being happy is something that is not appropriate because we already knew what gambling can bring us.
Many of gamblers fails and lose their money so why expect when we already have idea what this all about.

Gambler's purpose is to earn more money while enjoying the game.

that is more best thing that purely wanting to win and also what must be the mindset before playing .
