What's in the game, after all?

[Pmalek]

I don't think there is such a thing as playing ONLY for entertainment. Everyone likes to win, it is just a matter of how much is enough for you!
I don't gamble because I expect I will get rich and never have to go to work again. The chances are below minimum that will happen. I am perfectly fine winning a little bit and buying myself a piece of clothing or just a dinner. I see gambling as a salary supplement.

gambling as a salary suplement ? i think i have tried that before .

i dont work but i play gambling but good thing i win some and the winning is equivalent to what i earn on my job for one day  but some other days i cant win but the sad part is that im absent on my job.  its still not good at all to subsititute gambling  as working.

So you admit that you belong to the first camp

I mean, the ones who claim that everyone who is gambling is looking for profit (at the end of the day), i.e. there is always a profit-earning incentive involved even with the games of chance (what gambling is essentially all about). I for one don't think so as there are strong and valid reasons as well as reliable and confirmatory evidence to believe that it is not always the case and further from truth than many of us are inclined to assume

For example, it is a universally accepted view that due to the house edge, you are set to lose in the long run. However, there are people who have been gambling years on end with small amounts, and given that they have been losing money all this time, you wouldn't really expect them to be looking for profits as this assumption implies these individuals are irrational bordering on outright insane (unless they are looking for something else, of course)

Saying that we are only playing for entertainment could be a good excuse for losers, lol...
I would say that to people who doesn't really know me well but to people who know me, they know that I gamble, I lose and I also experience some struggle. Everyone of us are gambling for money who doesn't, right? although we say that we gamble for entertainment but winning really gives entertainment to gamblers, so in short, in order to win we need to be entertainment, but in the end since majority of gamblers loses, we just have to convince ourselves that "it's okay to lose as long as we are having fun".

To be honest I don't know.

My parents raised me and always warned me about gambling since my surroundings are related to gambling. When I started to get matured, I grew fond of watching these lucky videos and end up watching a professional poker player named Nicky Numbers talking about luck and skill. After that, I end up watching lucky replays of players and want to try that myself. I did lose in gambling to be honest, I am not addicted, deep inside of me, I want to win and also, I want to feel the same feeling those players did when they win. Now, I dropped that and just wasting my time getting satoshis on faucets and use different kinds of strategies.

It is indeed correct about why people gamble. There is another for that and that is for excitement. Some people you think they may be a gambling addict but that's not it. You may ask different people and their answers won't always be looking for fun and earn money but also looking for excitement, thrill and more.

[FlightyPouch]

I am at the first camp. Well, in the past I am addicted to gambling and without the help of my wife, I might still be addicted today, luckily I have her. I realized that Im not just wanting the money for myself but also to my family since everytime that I win, I usually treat my family into something nice. I want to provide for my family and gambling gave me that experience, but it is gambling so there are a lot of times I've also lost.

In playing gambling even, we can experience still the goal is to win our game and most of the crucial part when we are earning a lot of money is are we still going to play and win a lot of money again. Some people have good knowledge and skills in playing gambling games, and they are using this to take advantage of their opponents. This is a good strategy to have momentum for earning because once they feel that it is their time to make it will continue having a bit of luck, but if you know you cannot play anymore. It gives a lot of profit better to save it and don't carried away on your emotions for being greed.

Addiction is gambling's side effect. People gamble mostly for amusement and self-satisfaction, that gambling is their own way to earn with fun and enjoyment. Then those leads them to addiction. Some might be confused of "looking for excitement" which is just a prolonged phrase for fun. There's no other reason as it only requires luck and a little strategy.

[ralle14]

I'm also with the first camp, gambling mostly to win or make a profit out of it then enjoying the situation comes next. But at one point I feel like i've been to the second camp for a very small amount of time because of how long i've been gambling. For me this feeling of enjoyment came from the people who I was able to hang out on the chat while playing in that casino. It felt like they became my friends and others might be on the same page. I know there's other ways to make friends but the experience is always different to some people.

Many people gamble it is for fun and it is indeed true, they want to relieve their stress by gambling and then have fun when there is a victory.
But it is difficult if you are addicted to gambling, it will be risky when you don't have it, while gambling becomes a necessity if you have become addicted, that's where we have to be able to control ourselves so that it is not like that.
Gambling is a good thing to do with the right time and your concentration is bright.

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.

The strategy I'm talking about is not the way you cast your DICE, because obviously it's a pure chance (probability). But what I want to point out is how you would spread your bet on the board. Tho I said I am not a gambler myself, well, I've seen some dice games in casinos. And they don't just bet on random numbers.

Many are actually betting on random numbers. Perhaps the only basis people may use in choosing which numbers to bet are the previous winning numbers or patterns. Other than that, you can also use some strategies in betting amount. But at the end of the day, it all boils down to luck.

[DevilSlayer]

I think there is no such a game where the pure luck is only the matter, we still need gambling skill and strategy in every types of game in order for us to have high chance of winning. If we will just playing and we are basing our decisions in pure luck then it will lead to huge losses. I want to say that knowledge and skills are also important because we are the only one who can create our own luck.

You may ask different people and their answers won't always be looking for fun and earn money but also looking for excitement, thrill and more.

It's because we have different perspectives and mindsets, you can't expect people having the same mindset as you like thinking that they gamble for the sake of money. Those people who are gets addicted in gambling are the people who don't know how to control themselves, they don't even know their own limitations that's why they end up feeling remorse but still trying to continue doing the same mistake because they don't understand the difference between gambling for fund and having a gambling problem. Though you can experience all of it in gambling, it's just that you can't guarantee that you will always win the game because gambling can't assure you nothing but you feel the excitement when you are waiting for the outcomes of your decisions and fun because you're able to play and enjoy your day.

If they only use gambling as for fun, they can relieve their stress, but remember that if that person playing gambling for more than 30 minutes, and he got lose half of his money, he will become stress because I see that is happening to many people. But if he can treat gambling as well, then there is nothing to worry with that person because he can really use gambling as a reliever. It's different if that person is addicted to gambling because that will makes him try playing gambling more and more without stopping.

i think it is not right to argue about things here mate since you have admitted not being a Gambler so you have different opinion in each matter while gambling relies on their own experiences ,it is easy to say a word that we think is right while the truth is there is more appropriate that what we know.

so in this i take what Doomstake says as he seems to be more knowledgeable about gambling and for me as not totally gambler(but has experience since i play when i have a chance) dice is pure luck so what matter you spreads your bet yet luck will decide if you will catch some wins or not.

[swogerino]

I think there is the willingness to deceive yourself.Every time we lose in a slot machine we get sad but soon after we forget about it and our mind starts to think differently,we think that it was just bad luck and this time we are going to win a lot of money from that slot machine.However this is almost never the case as we end up losing more and more money but that thinking is what brings us back to gambling.

i may agree on this but willingness about what?to play?or to lose?or to accept the reality?there are some factors that we might consider having willingness in gambling.

because at one point this brings me to bad gambling habit when i willingly admit that losing is what i will get in gambling yet i continuously played.

but willingness also help me to get out,and that is willingness to admit that this must be enjoyable and not profitable.

Gambling skills are important where when you gamble there you can play the strategy to win, luck is not always on your side but there must be an effort to get that luck so in my opinion gambling should be relaxed and a good strategy.
Luck is always you if your gambling tactics are played.
