What's in the game, after all?

[thisappointed]

But when I play dice, for example, I normally set it at 50%. The fun that comes from there is that out of that equal chances of winning and losing, if you turn out a winner, that somehow gives you a feeling that you are lucky. And since you (perhaps) love the metaphysical approach, it gives you the feeling that the universe is on your side. And that is fun; it gives you a light feeling

But that's what I'm talking about. You understandably feel good, but what is that feeling good made of? If you get the feeling that the universe is on your side, doesn't it mean that you are controlling your chances, i.e. things bending to your will and happening how you envisage them?

I guess that feeling was made of your pride, on how much you wanted to win and as much you don't want to lose, it is all about the satisfaction we feel every time we achieved what we wanted, when it goes all well according to our plan. Maybe we called it all "Luck" but it is more than that, it is deeper beyond our talents so we can't believe we made it, sometimes.

And we could also called it "happiness" or "bliss" which is the extreme satisfaction we got in our life that cause us too much good feelings towards something.

Most of the time gambling is based on chance, even Poker, that requires skill to win, is dependent on the chance, in dice too--need some kind of "strategy" per se. I am not a gambler myself, at least not by money that is.

Personally, they are only saying it for the sake of enjoyment because they feel the same way when smoking, drinking, etc. in scientific terms, when our body releases dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins which triggers happiness. And I would guarantee that this only happens when they win, on a streak per se. But this could also branch in another way if they're serious about gambling if they want to earn money by gambling and not just "for the sake of entertainment". And I guess addiction triggers my first statement, but the happiness of winning is not always the cause of addiction, sometimes it happens when we're frustrated even when determined.

This is my take for now.

We can't really separate the chances we are getting in gambling to our skills, without it, skills are nothing, imagine yourself playing poker, and you are a professional gambler but you don't have any chances of getting the right cards to win the prize, that so fucked up, right? And the one in DICE, you don't need a strategy for a pure luck game like DICE, I will understand if it's poker, cause in DICE, it is all random like don't have any patterns like in poker.

[audaciousbeing]

The simple answer is that there is no one who would say is gambling for fun without an inherent motive of wanting to make money out of it. Let's even leave dice alone and move to sports betting. A lot of people I know that hides under the "fun" cotton are the people that put in the money they can afford to lose and not some money that could send them to depression really fast but then aside the fact that its "fun" they are already calculating on how much richer they would be should the game turn in their favor at the same time ready to curse out any team responsible for cutting their ticket.

So what's your take on this? What's in the game for those of us who are not looking for anything other than personal enjoyment and amusement? Be specific!

In my opinion, when they say "Personal Enjoyment" I think what they mean is stress-reliever. Maybe for some, "Personal Enjoyment" for them is bonding with other friends thru gambling

It can be a stress-reliever of sorts

However, there are many stress-relievers out there (as they say, drugs, sex, and rock'n'roll), and each approach to this goal of relieving stress is markedly different from others. Put differently, there are various ways of dealing with stress, and what I'm interested in is finding out what makes gambling a stress-reliever, i.e. what emotions it causes, or rather, what idea triggers a particular emotion that makes us feel happy after a win

There are many ways for the people to gain this personal enjoyment. You can get enjoyment when you play online games or travel with your family. You can gain enjoyment when you play arcade games in malls or drink with your friends

That's the whole point. There are many ways that provide personal enjoyment (or state of bliss), but it is not something which comes on its own, with the implication being that there should necessarily be something else, an assumption or belief, which makes this process possible in the first place

[lionheart78]

For me personal enjoyment is seeing my choices right and seeing the sum of my bankroll increasing.  Aside from that, hitting the jackpot also put joy in me, thinking that there is a huge possibility that I will not hit that jackpot and yet I won.

[acdc]

Each of us has a separate thought about gambling. I personally gamble to my satisfaction, I never hope that I can make money from gambling. The thrill in each gamble stimulates me and helps me relieve the stress of a long day at work.
Excluding professional gamblers, I don't think that anyone can control their fate in gambling, it's all a matter of luck.

Satisfaction I guess. That's the feeling aside from personal enjoyment, we're satisfied as we gamble while getting that enjoyable moment and we don't care if we win or lose because any from that is already expected to happen.

Little or big, we have that feeling that we're getting that success from those gains that we get as we enjoy. And if we tend to lose, as long as we're satisfied and we're "close" to win that last roll that's enough to say that at least we've tried and enjoyed at the same time.

As long as you can manage your money, and you know that you should quit gambling after you can reduce the stress, that can help you to relieve stress. But if you cannot control yourself, then you can get more stress in gambling because you will see that your emotion and tension become higher. Once it becomes higher, you can lose everything that you have without you realize.

You should be careful because not every day you can win from gambling, and you should not depend on gambling to fills your daily needs.

One of the reasons why I am playing gambling is to reach the level of the satisfaction that I keep seeking. I see gambling as for fun, enjoyment and also as source of income. I do not care if I lose because I have proper risks management, I know that my money is have no guarantee in gambling but I keep improving my skills and strategies to become a better gambler.

Its just correlated yet you're seeking for personal enjoyment because you do like to be satisfy with leisure needs.

Each person do differ when it comes to true motives when it comes to gambling but most common would be earning money aside from enjoyment.
Its just in person if they do push harder on things that they would like to achieve.

So what's your take on this? What's in the game for those of us who are not looking for anything other than personal enjoyment and amusement? Be specific!

My specific is accepting the reality that you cannot win in gambling their something in gambling that will give you enjoyment like when your favorite team just won by a point, but in gambling you have control, and you accept the reality that after you used all the funds allocated you are back to reality that you have a life and a job to face.

[shoreno]

dice is not a game of luck many have said  . that is the reason why dice came up with so many guides , tricks and strategies to beat the house and win the game.  there was a proof for that and have see many pro and veteran gamblers win the game with thier account showed up ( not hidden ) because hidden are sometimes un believable.  but for the game that is only fun and not involved skills or profit , i prefer casino based games like plinko, slots and cards .

well it seems that you are in sportsbetting mate?and that is what more enjoyable in that area of gambling because we are totally enjoying why having a chance to win.

in past i am not a fan of sports betting because i love upfront betting with instant outcome but now?it is sports that making me enjoy each gambling i made.

[semobo]

We don't have control over the results of such games and that is actually quite interesting and exciting while playing.I feel that time gap of rolling dice would be the entertainment which is feel of adrenaline rush whether we will get our desired result or not, and also expectancy of making money from bet also that fun part but expecting to win for sure will make people to be addicted.

Efforts will gain the outcome after all and it's our definite desires to aim if we're constant with our actions. We will be successful in the end as long as we do it by faith. Don't rely from others experience, or rather make it as your motivations to pursue harder.

So what's your take on this? What's in the game for those of us who are not looking for anything other than personal enjoyment and amusement? Be specific!

There's really nothing at all, I am playing to have some fun, I just want to fulfill my inner longings to have some excitement, it's on my feeing we just want to have a stress reliever that's all I'm not also playing because it is a routine, I just play when I want to and where my time allows, I just don't want to define how I play and why I play.

There should be something. I've been thinking about it, and now as a step forward and toward the resolution of the questions raised in the OP, I came up with a simple reality check. That is, if it was really nothing at all, and you just wanted to fulfill your inner longings to have some excitement, why would you not use a gambling bot like Seuntjies DiceBot using it for that purpose in test mode only, i.e. without actually gambling and losing anything? If it were only for fun, why don't you run it instead of gambling in a real casino, most likely losing money there?

This is a question for all

[Ucy]

Whether it is the one with the mind of earning out of gambling or the one preferring it is a source of entertainment mostly prefer Dice than any other games available with the casinos. Maybe this is based on the simplest way the game is being developed and the prediction possibility which when played with friends can create some fun moments. However gambling is all about money, and the real fun and entertainment happens when one makes a win when they didn't expect it. Another thing majority reveals that they Play for fun, but that isn't the truth.

It's probably not very true, otherwise they would be playing thesame games for free or without money on gaming platforms or on their mobile devices/computers. There are lots of games people can actually enjoy playing without gambling or risking something valuable aside their time(& computer hardware).
