Do you consider gambling to be a "fun activity"?

[jets567]

Ofcourse there is no fun at all when losing your money but gambling give some excitement while you play and then enjoyment every time you win. It really depend on a person on how they define fun in gambling but for me gambling is a good form of entertainment or just to kill some time and if you're lucky enough then you can double or triple your money.

[Bossian]

A lot of emotions, a lot of up and a lot of down but it's all fun...

As long as you play with money that you can afford to lose. Same rules apply with any investment, of course including Bitcoin and alt coins 

Guess what make all of these much more fun?

you won at 2x and get additional profits as you are betting with altcoins that the value where your betslip settled increased drastically upto 100percents so basically you just hit a jackpot of 3times instead won it at 2 times haha
but you must admit that it was fun until you get hit but the unexpected big losses or a streak losses.
that will messed all of your fun moments in a second, in a blink of an eye.

start with some fun and always ends it with misery , that is the eternal law of gambling, you can not go against them unless you are lucky enough to be part of the rare 0.1% who make it fun all the time.

I never tried to invest in any alt coins except for some solid ones, but they deceived me (yeah I am talking about ETH here   ), I got burned.
Still receive plenty of emails from Wirex, Binance, selling their coins but never dare to make the move. Will keep trading on Bitcoin price which was the most solid earnings lately. Good luck anyway in you are into alt coins

one time i see on the chat of one gambling platform where a user said that he is having fun when he loose his money  and he also give away his money as a form of tips sometimes  . the guy must be wealthy but he has a strange hobby when he play gambling   . sometimes strange things happen to some persons so yes that is really possible to some that loosing money can be entertaining  but for us normal peeps , we think loosing is a part of the game but still makes us feel sad when the loose that we dealt is big  .

Do you feel fun when you lose $100?
What about losing $1000 or $10000 when you gamble? Does it make you feel it was all fun?

I see many posters here in this Gambling Discussion forum claiming (usually with broken English) that gambling is fun, that there is no pain nor suffering when you lose money... because it's all fun, it's great, the best thing in the world ....

So I'd like to ask you honestly - how is it "fun" when you lose money? What makes it fun - the prediction of what's gonna happen next? The winnings make it fun? But no one can win 100% of the times, right? (except for the house)

in my opinion, a big amount of bets includes serious gamblers, not for fun. I consider gambling as entertainment when I win is very fun, and of course, I only use a small amount of bets.
also, not all types of gambling are fun, poker is one of the most fun favorite games, I like fighting strategy there. losing is not fun but a small amount is not a problem for us.

[Golftech]

Well, it still depends on the gamblers of how they treat gambling. If you gamble just for fun that something will make you entertain, that's no problem and if you gamble just for hoping you will win that's no problem. And yes, I will consider gambling is just for fun activity. I know that because I know my self what is gambling and the possible consequences if I did not make my self have control in playing gambling. Be responsible for gambling and you will be fine.

If you have that attitude then you are safe to play and enjoy, while other people are getting too much engage and they are putting lots of money inside this activities. There's no problem if you can really control and you can find the courage to stop when everything is no longer favorable to you, to the point that you wasting lots of time and funds. Know your limitations to continue enjoying.

[alexsandria]

Well, we cannot deny the fact that gambling was all about profit. But still the process or what I mean is the playing time was really alot of fun. Though losing was really a bad thing but still you enjoy what you played, profit is just an additional to what you are enjoying. I bet those who seek profit from gambling were just a mere gambler nothing more, nothing less.

I don't get how it could be fun to jump off a bridge with my feet tied to a rope but there are people who pay a lot of money to do that and I don't think they could explain it to me in a way that I could understand.

Gambling is of course different than bungee jumping but adrenaline is there, risk is there, plus the tantalizing expectation of a lucky win. The occasional small win keeps the excitement going. Just make sure to set the max budget and stick to it and you can have a lot of fun for $100. Don't make the rope too long or you'll smack you head into those rocks.

Most of those kinds of gamblers who bets higher than the average gambler is really aiming to win and not only for fun.

I don't think that not all types gambling is fun, therr is still some fun that every game has given to everyone  especially when you can win continuously.
But of course, if you have lose so much money, it is not for fun anymore. It is about addiction and greediness.

[Assface16678]

As long as the amount I lost is still under my limit, it is still fun for me.
When I gamble for fun, I will just spend what I can afford to lose only so I wont regret if I lose it all.
The fun of gambling is basically on the process during we are gambling, not at the end when we get the result.
Obviously if the result is good (win) then we will get double fun.

Gambling is a game full of fun and excitement. Many players came from different places and gathered to play their favourite games in gambling. Gambling can be used for the satisfaction of aa person because we have diverse expertise in gambling, and we want to use this also to earn money.  Many players go from different gambling houses to satisfy their desire to play some of them love to play because of the risk of the gameplay; it gives them a lot of excitement. Commonly the people play gamble because they want to earn extra money while enjoying the game. It provides an additional source of income too.

When we put our mindset that we will earn from it then we can say it but once we already know that we always tend to lose in it and still bothers to play since you realize that it's more fun for you at times you have spare time and still not aiming to win somehow. Or I just already accept the fact that I'm not a good gambler so I just play fun in it.

What makes it fun is the experience you get from it. The joy of betting to your favorite team and watch them win. Or the frustration of not getting the right bet because of the spread or handicap. The money lost is the expense you have to pay in order to have that experience and if you win, it is the added bonus.

Do you feel fun when you lose $100?
What about losing $1000 or $10000 when you gamble? Does it make you feel it was all fun?

first i will post print screen of my sportsbet.io account:





where is the fun?

when you have two soccer teams (team X and team Z), you make analyzes of both soccer teams and make a bet that team X will win and the team X win the game... Is a very fun thing.

about the side of losing money:

there is bankroll management, there is game analysis and there is the golden rule: never use money that you cannot afford to lose to bet on bookmakers.

I see many posters here in this Gambling Discussion forum claiming (usually with broken English) that gambling is fun, that there is no pain nor suffering when you lose money... because it's all fun, it's great, the best thing in the world ....

If a person earns a $1000 of salary, he pays all 30 day bills, then he has $50 for fun:

1- this person can take $50 to beer with friends

2 - this person can go to watch movies with their friends

3 - This person can have fun watching car racing

4- this person can make sports bets

Anyway this person knows that the $50 is a money that can afford to lose.

I'm ok losing $100 in exchange for hours of excitement and fun, but things is different if the lost is amounting to over $10000, it's not fun anymore if you are not a millionaire, that's real gambling and i don't see myself going to be like that.

[White Christmas]

Of course yes I consider gambling as a fun activity because I enjoy when I win but I am feeling sad when I am lossing, just like the other guys who are gambling. We are having fun whenever we are playing and gambling our money because there is always a chance that we could win as possible but the reality of we can also experience heavy losses is indeed, but before we gamble we already what may happens like lossing or winning so we are capable to handle those situations as good as possible. We gamblers are having fun on it so why should we stop? We continue to go back and play whenever we have enough time and money.

[MI6]

Fun maybe for people who already rich. But there are a lot of people who play gambling and aim for winning. If me, i am play gambling with maximum $10 capital to play and quite seldom to play gambling. Fun or not maybe i fun, but at least with that amount of money, i am not really suffer when lose.

I'd love to see one of those posters explain to me, rationally, how exactly they perceive it to be fun? Please try to explain yourself rationally (with broken English if necessary).

No, that won't be fun for me to lose 100$ because that will affect my budget and I amn't very rich to consider 100$ like it's 10 cent. But why to play/bet with 100$ ? For me 10$ is affordable, for others - 1000 and even more.
But I look gambling like this way: You pay some money in order to play particular game (like you pay money to buy Assassin's Creed, download from ubisoft and play).
Some people get fun from playing Call Of Duty while others get nervous because they can't pass some levels and etc, there are a lot of reasons that makes some happy and some - unhappy.
Personally I think it depends on person, I can get fun from playing blackjack live because it's different experience, you can talk with dealer and etc, that's fun and in order to get this fun, you need to pay some money, always place minimum bets and never think about doubling of it, if you are doing so, then you'll lose money quickly.
Imagine, with 1000 satoshies, you can place minimum bet 1000 times on dice, it's a lot if you have dice cravings, so cheap, yeah? But when you start betting of 0.0001, 0.0002, 0.0004 and so on, then you are doing very wrong.

[DoublerHunter]

Not just for the fun activity, it also brings excitement when choosing a team from sports that you placing a bet in the sportsbook you have used and while watching their match at home waiting and also hoping whos gonna win. Reply above was right if you are willing to spend $50 in exchange for fun activities and excitements, so why not. Just to make it sure that the fund you have used is the amount that you can afford and willing to lose if ever you did not get lucky in gambling. Nevertheless, we can't deny the fact that some gamblers just gamble in hoping to double their capital.

[ReiMomo]

This all depends on people's like. If he likes to gamble and in that way and he has fun activity even it will cost and probably you have a loss that is fine because you are willing to spend a certain amount just because of having fun. We have different likes and dislike or a habit that we want. If you have a fun activity and need to spend a little so, why not.

[electronicash]

the gambler who said gambling is fun are the ones who won games.

to be honest i ain't enjoying playing balckjack or poker when i'm not on the table itself.  you can't play bluff/herocall by making faces infront of the players. which is the reason why i rarely play in bitcoin casino expect the sportsbetting which is more fun to watching in big screen. even losing in the bet as long as you get to see knockdowns, the fun still is there.

[TheGreatPython]

I like the later part of your post basically we all love when we are gambling and not when we have been done with it. The end result of gambling is only loss as we will always play in the hands of the edge house set by the casinos to empty our pockets. But even as a gambler myself I know I will loose money on tennis and cricket but I end up making most of my bets on these events.

I always feel sad when the bet loses so I cannot say there is any fun or joy in loosing but certainly there is much more fun than people think as far as sports betting goes because you know you are not betting on something that you cannot control, in sports betting there are various markets and you can analyse data and you like certain players and teams.
