Purposes to play gambling, except being rich

[supercanada1]

I guess people here shows maturity on how they gamble

Have fun and spend spare time

got majority of the vote and that includes mine, we are all educated that gambling will give us headache if you take it seriously and pouring more on what we can afford to lose.

Gambling is something meant for fun and entertainment along with adding streaks of money. The whole picture is not about money rather a small corner is allocated to winning money. Gambling itself is not a headache, people have made it headache for themselves as they simply invest more than what they can afford to lose which simply make them borrow money from others and going in debts.

Gambling is something where we risk big with the hope of earning big. If there isn't no way to make an earning out of the risk gambling could have never been preferred and used much by people from nook and corner of the world. This makes people give importance to gambling as a way to be rich and very few give consideration as an entertainment.

I really don't think that the vast majority of gamblers gamble with the expectation of becoming rich, after all, nearly all games of chance available online have a limited size jackpot and a limited win multiplier. Because of this, there are only a few games that can really make players rich, e.g. lottery type games, slots with a jackpot and games with a multiplier over 100.

With that said, I think most people simply gamble for the thrill of it. It's one thing to beat somebody at a game where nothing is at stake, it's an entirely different feeling to beat somebody when there is something on the line—even if it is just beating the casino at its own games. This is mostly why I play poker at low stakes tables now, whomping on the fish is a feeling that you can't get anywhere else really.

firs of all people just wanna chill having fun and just using their spare time.

but then as time goes by it ALWAYS turn to addicted, no matter how people at first time have an intention for the pure fun , hard to avoid addiction in gambling and your purpose changed as well , this is the irony.
setting a target to get rich by gamble is a fantasy , there is a super tiny chance but still it feels like just a fantasy.

the thrill in gambling is priceless, you can not find that feel anywhere else.
but the addiction in it always scared everybody.

^ That is wrong if you are risking a big amount just to hunt a big return of earning, that is greed. They should know how to spend money that they can only afford to lose and not your whole money. I choose and voted this is my habit and I gamble just because of fun activity that might entertain me for a while. But at the same time, I am hoping that the small amount that I can afford to lose will have a profit but if I can't, that is fine. Nevertheless, gambling entertainment is priceless.

If I were you, I'll just focus on my own enjoyment and not letting my own greed help me to earn money. If you just want to entertain yourself and just spend your time playing like it is a hobby, if you lose a certain amount of money then it is okay with you. Your emotion will not be affected because you enjoyed it.

That's correct, entertainment is priceless and you're always won an enjoyment and contentment.

A small amount will do and let it lose, if it wins then its good, if it lose then it is also good. Taking gambling as a past time is a win win for you.

I think "have fun and spend spare time" and "it's all about my hobby" are most likely the same.

Anyway, I've chosen the "have fun and spend spare time" also it is most likely as my hobby because most of the time I like to play gambling on my own. Maybe the getting rich part is not too far from the topic but I was trying to aim some winning too when playing, you know.

I'm just curious about what people think about their main purposes to play gambling. Usually, we only know that people play gambling because they expect to be rich (earn money). Are there any other common purposes of a gambler why he/she plays gambling daily? Let me know what your purposes are, mate. Thanks

There is not any other reason to gamble apart from the fact that people try to be rich.
Those who say "I am doing for fun" they don't actually do it for fun. They try to be rich from that. Otherwise they might be playing board games or anything other that doesn't require to bet money.

Logically your point of view is right that when people start to play gambling games then they aim for the money to win and many of them think to be rich but still there are some people who are curious about the games there and want to know that how it work. For many people playing with money is also a part of entertainment. They try their skills to see that if they can win or lose money with that skills which also give them some pleasure that is why they come to gamble for entertainment.

[Except being rich]
at first it was definitely just for fun while spending time but if you get profit then it's better. after a long time wanting to hone the ability to gamble to become an expert gambler, when doing so it turned out to be an addictive effect that can not be stopped and ends like a routine.  I can not describe in more detail, roughly that's how I feel right now.

True, besides being rich, many people will say that having fun is their gambling goal. Of the 37 members who voted, 30 of them have chosen to have fun and spend free time. So having fun and spending free time is the second choice for gamblers to continue playing and addicted.

But if a person have control on himself from the beginning then he cannot be ruined by starting gambling because I also a few years ago started gambling and I started to see that how it work and wanted to see that how much entertainment is in it and I kept myself in control and till now I am not addicted and I spend my life happy and not losing my money useless.

Haha you are right. Obviously they would happy too if they won alot of money while they doing it "for fun". They are just can't telling the truth about that. If they are doing it for fun only too, they will not using real money but they prefer to use faucet/free money or even demo money to play

But the reality, gambling isn't just for fun but to win the jackpot prize and be happy. It can be difficult when you are using a real money in gambling when you are aiming to have just fun, may using freebies or whatever it is but at least we spent nothing from our pocket which means that we are not worried if either we lose or not.

When Facebook introduced through Zynga I got hooked with playing poker and I play hours and hours playing poker but I dont want to play using my money on other online casino. Then came Bitcoin, I earned Bitcoin and I was introduced to online casinos using Bitcoin, so instead of wasting my time on games that doesn't pay, I tried playing that pays in Bitcoin. However, I don't play for the sake of earning more money. I just want to play the game that I like and get paid in Bitcoin if I win.

though not an fb game on my end, i used to play online generating coins from that game. however at that time, theres no value as crypto was not popular back then. but now, you can find game sites which are paying coins that you can convert to BTC or other alts which are of value in the market. so yeah, aside from fun, you can get a lil bit of money from crypto games now. though its not that much, but your main purpose of enjoyment has been served with bonus of crypto coins. remember, back then you are paying a lot just to upgrade your character for your own satisfaction, so now, why not earn a lil bit of crypto from it

Because we know making money from gambling and being rich is the hardest thing that we can get into gambling. We will not have a big chance to make money and getting rich, except we have luck every time we played gambling. That is normal to see many people will say that playing gambling is to have fun and spend free time because we know the risk of playing gambling. As long as we can manage our money and time in gambling, we will not get addicted to gambling because we can limit the money and time, and we know how to stop gambling.

[leowonderful]

Mostly because I have plenty of time to pass, and gambling helps me fill up that otherwise unused time pretty well. I have a pretty decent supply of Bitcoin for gambling anyways, and most of the sites that I gamble on don't have extremely stringent KYC restrictions, so I either have money on the site(s) I want to play on, or I can send that money over and play in just a few minutes. While I'd love to become rich from gambling, that realistically won't be happening and I do other things like flipping sneakers and other collectible items in my free time as well which generates much more revenue than gambling ever could for me.

This is the problem.

In our place, there are a lot of people that can't manage their money well so they usually spend it on something that is not that special or just waste it on betting. They think gambling is something that can make someone rich quickly not adding the fact that they can be lost and can be addicted to it. Despite them not being addicted, they do not spend their money wisely, I think that is the problem.

Seems like it is a habit for me although I do it for once a week. Do you have a habit? Like smoking or etc? I just feel if I do something and it has became a habit then you'll get different purpose from what your intention before you do it. Like me, being a smoker for almost 4 years and for the first intention I tried smoking just because it feels but now it has been change I smoke just because it is my habbit. And this case will be same when I play gambling, yeah for the first time I play gambling it was because I need make money instantly and I'll getting rich quickly but now these things have been changed, I play gambling just because it is my habbit.

That is the problem with other gamblers they are too emotional that they cant manage their own money and they gamble until they lose a lot. I gambled because I am having fun on it and it gives me comfort in my living. Others are making it as a  comfort thing also, we just need to gamble in moderation to avoid massive loses while enjoying it.
