Gambling for fun alone? how true?

[Twinkledoe]

Have you heard that some people gamble for fun and not necessarily to make money?

I find it hard to believe completely because who doesn't like to make some more money even if it is not needed.

If you knew the exact sum you were going to loose gambling, and you are the type that they say " gambles for fun", will you find it fun loosing that money still? will you return another day in awareness of how much you will loose and still want to loose for fun?

Well if you don't make money you can't gamble for long but yeah tons of people do it for the adrenaline rush more than even the money part. It's an addiction to some, so it's probably a mixed bag of why people gamble.  Not always for the money.

But you can only have authentic feeling of fun and happiness if you are using your own extra money, where you totally accept the possibility that you can lose that amount in your games. But for example if you are using 200 bucks per bet in crash game, and you lost it in one go, and you are just in the middle-income category, are you going to have fun on that case? For me, definitely not. So this is a subjective matter depending on your financial capability when it comes to gambling.

Yes, there are some people that gamble for fun. Have you seen how many players play on those casinos that are not based on real money and uses virtual currencies (chips) that has no value? Why would they play there if they didn't want to gamble for fun? And yeah, there are other people that uses real money and gambles with them to make real profits, but those profits or loss doesn't matter to them as long as they are enjoying. They use real money just for extra thrills. Loses are like "payment" for the entertainment and profits are like extra "reward" for them to extend their game time.

Fun for one is differemt then fun for another.  I can have fun spending my last liquid dollar doing something fun and I people think rolling dice is fun then yeah they can have fun with non "extra" money.  Like I said there are many reasons why peoe gamble and having fun is one of them.  Watch the people walking around a casino they get caught up in the lights and the bells and whistles...it's fun for some.

[Peanutswar]

I guess gambling for fun is only applicable to the people who don't value too much the money they have just full of entertainment, and satisfaction to them. But in some parts gambling for fun to the people already addicted to playing and sometimes they ignore how much they lose. For me seeing people playing gambling already gives me fun and entertainment, will play if just have extra money.

Definitely no,but losing small amounts of money for fun is OK.
Almost all the gamblers are gambling for fun AND for making money(if they are lucky enough).
Only a handful of gamblers would say that they are gambling for fun only.
Gambling addicts are gambling ONLY for the sake of making money,which is delusional and there's no fun.
I only gamble with small amounts,because losing a big amount of money via gambling isn't fun at all.
It would be painful as hell and it would make me quit gambling forever.
I'm glad that I can control myself and keep myself away from the gambling addiction trap.

When starting a game, or entering a gambling site, any of the players hopes to win. When it comes to small amounts of winning or losing, then a good psychological excuse for yourself is the argument that you played "for fun".
By doing this, you calm yourself down and this just gives you reason to visit the site again - to play, maybe another time you will be lucky, and if you are not lucky, then again "for fun". 
Etc...

In such cases, some also treat it as part of their social pleasure, playing with friends inside casinos. Those can be recognized as

playing for fun, but in most cases, gamblers who played long time inside casinos are hard to believe that they are just having fun, but more on

Targeting to earn a decent amount of money. There are people who keep staying and keep coming back hoping that they will be able to win

huge amount of money.

Well, this has a point in that it can help you to keep your cool when you are losing so that it doesn't hurt as much. When I lose, I do the same thing to myself so that I can think about how much money I have left and be able to control my emotions.Most of the rich are having a good time when they lose or win because they have a lot of money, it doesn't really hurt them, whereas it does hurt us and we find ways to calm ourselves down when we lose or win, which is the case with the poor.

I gamble for fun mate , and I must admit that I am also guilty for feeling unfair because even though i intentionally gamble for fun yet I felt annoyed when i end up losing each time.
this mean that i don't really do stand on that word, because the truth is? gambling needs to win and all of us in this field are guilty on this, many will say the wanted to have fun but deep inside their Heart and mind they also wanted to Win.

Let us all admit that w gamble FOR MONEY and that is reality of life.

Nobody can predict the future... but in case it's possible, and you know you will lose why would you play? Just wait for another day or some more optimistic feelings! As a gambler I always return another day, doesn't matter did I win or lose, I know I will try again eventually!

...
Let us all admit that w gamble FOR MONEY and that is reality of life.

When I deposit money for gambling, I am ready to go all-in with that money... I am ready to risk it all in trying to win and make some profit! It's my entertainment in trying to win more than I deposited with playing my favorite games! We can play demo versions, but it's not so interesting without real money risk... when you can really feel the loses and wins! So I agree we gamble for money, simply gambling for worthless demo coins is boring!

[danherbias07]

I gamble for fun, but it feels better if I win it of course. I remember one time I put a big amount in one game and I lose it, it feels weird in my stomach like stress running all over my body. I believe there are those who can take that, especially the rich guys but not for an average person who would like to win both the game and their bet.
But I do believe there are those who could spend money gambling and won't even care about it so much at the end of the day.

I am not thinking I am gambling for fun, it is what is actually happening, I gamble for fun stake less than 3 matches and have the fun as I am watching the match during the weekend live, is there anything fun than that. But I feel better. If I win, I know I have money for fun already to make me have next weekend spent with fun, but if I do not win, I have money for that already too. Taking just very little amount of money to play and just one time in a week shoes how it is fun and not a way to make money.

It's normal to feel that way even if you have a lot money to lose because you are losing something and you are playing because you want to win and winning is the source of fun in gambling. We should admit that we really want to win to have fun because we can always play slot, card game and other games without risking money if want to have fun by just playing alone.

Winning is everything in gambling. No one is happy when losing regardless on how much money we lose on the process.

[Rockstarguy]

I have come across people who says they gamble for fun, that may be true they actually do gamble for fun to  cover up anxiety when money is lost in betting.  To me this mindset is not bad and it helps somehow in controlling emotions,  when money is placed  first when it comes to gamble sometimes  it can saddens the heart when a bet is lose. But when a fun is involved you don't care when money is lost in gamble.

Maybe they have much money although with percentage when gambling play all time loss not care with how much money gone because they try to make fun with gambling, but except with several gambler because they have try how to get much profit and ROI with playing gambling without care for funny decision or not, just when begin with gambling how to get much profit and all game play should win between sport betting or casino game. Never waste time when gambling as decision to get passive income and not have time for funny with gambling.

rich or poor gambler mate can take losses but when this is Big amount for us then we will always felt what you did so better to take this deeply for better understanding .

But I do believe there are those who could spend money gambling and won't even care about it so much at the end of the day.

They may not look like but deep inside them? surely they felt bad and hard to accept.

But when a fun is involved you don't care when money is lost in gamble.

But the real point when you talk of gamble is to use money on it so that the right person takes it and the wrong person will lose so now when playing gamble as fun, do you reject the winning money ? Ha  If it is really for fun the winning money should be rejected and another money is provided for new bet.

your point is valid 

[sayaya17]

I think it depends on the person, because sometimes gambling is for fun or entertainment, and that is for someone who has no problem with gambling or addiction.
play in free time when time is up for work and play to get rid of boredom and play with money you can afford to lose, and stop when it runs out or lose and play relax and enjoy the game and when win it's just luck.

However there have also been many people gambling as a pleasure in the past, but for many others, gambling can be a serious problem.
Because sometimes the desire to gamble is completely out of their control, many people find themselves unable to explain why they continue to gamble despite the problems it causes in their daily lives.
I think both are real, and for those with addictive personalities, it is better to avoid gambling.

Everyone has their own reasons why they decide to gamble, actually wanting to play gambling to make money or play gambling for fun doesn't matter,
it's everyone's right to choose and decide. The most important thing is that we don't become addicted, it will be a big problem and can damage
personal life. I am one of those people who play gambling for fun, sometimes I fill my spare time by playing online gambling, it keeps me entertained.
If I win and make a profit, I consider it a bonus. But even if I lose, I can accept it, because every time I gamble, I have provided my own budget.
I never use money for daily needs to play gambling.

[Cookdata]

People gamble for a chance to win something. Whether or not they will have fun doing that depends on the person. I may drop spare money on a slot machine on a gas station and wouldn't really mind if I win or lose since I know the amount is small. The fun part there is the excitement of what the result could be.

It's not fun to see a result when you lose a game, especially when money is at stake. It may be entertaining, but your expectation while waiting for the outcome is to win.
What's the purpose of trying it out at first if you don't expect to win? There is something that tempts you to gamble that money, and that is the thought of winning the outcome.

I have come across people who says they gamble for fun, that may be true they actually do gamble for fun to  cover up anxiety when money is lost in betting.  To me this mindset is not bad and it helps somehow in controlling emotions,  when money is placed  first when it comes to gamble sometimes  it can saddens the heart when a bet is lose. But when a fun is involved you don't care when money is lost in gamble.

Imagine it this way: sports are exciting, and betting on them adds to the excitement. But, observing a loss will likely detract from the fun, however, if you win the game, the fun will outweigh your judgment on being fun or not.

believe it or not, there are people who find gambling relaxing, entertaining, or just like you said "fun". there are people who don't really mind losing and winning is just a bonus. it might be hard to believe because we have been so used to knowing/seeing that gambler's priority is to win money.

Yes, this is a common mistake when a person measures everything based on their own preferences. But if you look at it, you can see that many people are doing hard work (like gamers gaining high ranks in some competitive games) without any payment, but at the same time they get pleasure from such an activity. From the outside it seems illogical, but everyone has their own tastes and preferences.

For those gambler who have a plenty of money that they are using intended for gambling this thing called of gambling just for fun is very much true, for us who has a limited budget for gambling we take our game seriously and were not sitting here for fun but also for the purpose of aiming to get a winning prize. But to be honest even those who have a plenty of money they really gambling seriously and also aiming to win and they are very competitive.
