Do you gamble to make money or for FUN?

[worldofcoins]

Since 2011 when some online gambling websites went online with bitcoin as their career then there were many gamblers who started to bet online because of many reasons.

Two of them being - For Making Money || FUN

Now from what I've seen people start for Fun make some money and keeps the cycle repeating until it becomes a habit and they start to think of it as a medium to keep making sustainable income which is not possible, I know some people from a community where they had the Story Line I shared above and even today they're unable to get gambling out of their mind.
And thinking if they can make 1000x of their deposit they would never play again, but we know what happens...

So what's your story... Makin Money ?? or For FUN.

I do it both for fun and money, that's why when I lost sometimes I don't take it serious

I start playing online gambling when I first discover Bitcoin through faucet. I remember that my first online gambling experience was playing on freebitco.in dice game because it has faucet and built in dice game at the same time. At first, I was just playing using the Bitcoin that I earn using faucet. I was just playing happily that time and I thought that gambling can really give me a stable income, As I remember, I already computed the total amount that I will gain for a year and already plan all the things that I want to buy, Until one day when I wake up too early just to play dice, I lose all my savings for over a month on just a few rolls and then i realized that gambling is shit. I wasted a lot of time on collecting faucet and playing dice daily just to lose it all within a minute of playing.

Gambling should be for for, I think we have answered this kind of question frequently on this gambling discussion board, why should someone be looking for profit while gambling, it should be for fun even if looking for profit. The reason why most addicts turned addicted to gambling is because they want to make profit from it, they will be thinking they are different that they can apply strategies and make money, but later ended in failure, depression and money loss. I started making profit after I left gambling, I was addicted before, I lost a lot, I bet more than often and I lost the more. I have to quit gambling for over a year before I have control over it, now I gain when I gamble less and not beyond my budget of 2% to 5% of my monthly income.

Playing gambling is for fun and not making money but if I win the money, that will be good for me since I am not good at gambling games. I do not have many good stories about gambling because I think my luck does not come when I play gambling. But some people can have different reasons why they are playing gambling and many of them want to change their lives. Yes, they change their lives but do not make money because many lose their money just by playing gambling. But other people can make money from gambling.

I do take gambling both for fun and money too and this may sounds a very positive approach towards losses mate, I have known some gamblers who were taking their gambling activities a serious matter that's why when they get lose they were taking it seriously too. Well, no one wants to lose a money out on gambling but I think we should know already on the first place that gambling is taking a win and lose path at the same time without any assurance. Just be careful on the amount that you're willing to take the risk and afford to lose.

Gambling is for fun and money at the same time and in the same scale.
This has been discussed several times in this thread. However, this topic is certainly an interesting one for the gamblers.
One can deny that it's only for pure fun, but the money involved cannot be ignored. You gotta win or else the fun's over.

Now, let's talk about which is more important, to gamble to have fun or to earn money. But lossing isn't fun, right?
Therefore, earning money is way important than looking for fun in gambling.

If you're gambling, I believe you'll experience both of these emotions because you can't say you're just making money from it; you're still having fun because winning makes you happy, and losing makes you sad, so you'll experience both. This is one of the reasons why some people become addicted to it because they become overly excited about it and experience an adrenaline rush from the game because it involves a large sum of money. I haven't seen anyone who is only interested in gambling and isn't happy.

Of course, like most gamblers I want to win, but I have never had the ambition to make a living through gambling. In today's world there are a huge number of investment tools that help to make good money and cryptocurrencies are one of these tools. So gambling is just entertainment.

So what's your story... Makin Money ?? or For FUN.

I don't make a special fund for gambling unless I get the money from a faucet or airdrop. A few months ago I did that my first goal of playing and the second to double the free money. In addition, because the gamble that I participate in is guessing the rocket is destroyed. It's like a game and I do it because i don't work. Once a few weeks I also do that just to play games, if I get extra money it adds to my pleasure. But if I lose I won't think about it.

 Once upon a time in my youth I wanted to earn so much money by betting on sports that I would live in abundance. But over time, I realized that this is a very hard work and I spend a lot of time and nerves on it. So I decided to place bets for fun, now it's just like a game for me. I like to analyze and find some patterns, or probabilities in events, but this is still just fun for me.

As long as you gamble with "the money you can afford to lose" it's fun and entertainment that can be profitable from time to time when you score some nice wins! When you doing it like that there's no risk for your health, your social life...
At the moment when you start risking more than you can afford to lose, problems will start coming your way! All kinds of problems! Because you will start taking and putting all in gambling, so everything and everyone around you will start to suffer!

I gamble for fun, but I can't (nobody can't) deny the nice feelings from nice wins, and desire to win even more! We people love to win, and we know that winning in any gambling game can be profitable!

Years back when I started to gambling with Satoshi, I registered with freebitcoin.co doing the dice game at every top of the hour to earn some satoshis, it was fun then, I also fill mrai more like gambling too by earning some satoshis too, however I later switched to soccer bettings, which was my area of interest, I am a soccer fan and l have the ability to analyze matches thus I started betting on soccer matches to earn some extra income, knowing that the era of gambling for fun had passed with lot of gambling avenues available online to earn extra income if we'll utilized.

[panjul07]

No doubt that most people gamble to make money and fun is a small part of the activity.
I have to admit that I do gamble for both making money and for fun.
I cant deny even if I do gamble for fun but sometime it is not fun at all if I lose some money when I'm out of my own control.
All in all, as long as I can handle/control it wisely, it does not matter what is my main purpose in gambling.

I think a lot of gamblers would say they only do it for fun because eventually throughout gambling you will experience losses and it's definitely not fun to lose. Maybe in the process some would say losing makes you a better gambler, but I think luck will always play a huge part to have success and to even consider gambling as a source of income. For me, I started and have always been fond of sports betting and the integration of cryptocurrency made it a more fun experience. Also, the people you meet and bet with are what makes it fun. Now if you'll analyze it and focus on the dynamic of gambling itself, then consider those who have made it as a profession to be extremely lucky for such a challenging industry to be in.

Yea, I think the same.
It's mostly because they chase their loss and end up losing everything at some point.
Funny thing I recently watched a stream of a Video game player, he's used to stream league of legends and started promoting a gambling website and currently is playing Slots there now he lost over 400k USD and is chasing his losses when it's clearly written on the website at right side bottom "Don't chase losses"

Making money from gambling is too much work and the casinos will ban if you when they realize that you are making more than you lose. It is not worth taking the risk. You better get a day job. It will pay more or less the same and you'll "probably" have a less stressful life.

[danherbias07]

Both. To add thrill into sports and the same time enjoy the profits if ever it will win. There are times when you just don't feel the heat of the game anymore unless you are betting for one team. And when you do, you can scream your lungs out cheering for them because you know deep down you have a bet that needs to be won.  
I remember last season of NBA when I was screaming to shoot one more for the Bucks because I took a handicap bet at negative for them.
As if they will hear me from just doing it in my monitor.

[Taskford]

Both since its hard to play without any motivation and also its so hard to have fun while we are losing money for times so its really hypocrite to say that we only here to have fun, I know many rich kiddos out there will say that but actually at the end of their games and they don't have enough money to spend on other things for sure they will regret on why they used there money to gamble. I know its hard to win or get a profit on gambling but once luck is on our side we should learn how to quit so that we can enjoy the amount we won.

What started off as fun a long time ago, and playing with friends sort of transposed itself into more of a side thing where now is more about the gains rather than pure fun. I still do it for pure fun but more rare now, as the idea is to get monetary value out of my time when playing online.

I suppose, in a society where everything is valued and comes down to monetary incentive it is no surprise that most of us are only enjoying the gaming experience more from a money stand point...
