Gambling for fun alone? how true?

[ralle14]

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.

It just depends on your own perspective because there are times when you don't find much enjoyment in winning but there are times when even if you lose it somewhat becomes worth it or fun just because of the entertainment it brings.

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 think what he's trying to point out is that in gambling you're likely to lose that's why it's best to not have high hopes in winning but that small certainty of winning makes it somewhat entertaining since you'll never know what you'll get.

As you grow older, this question gets much more true because, retirement comes and you will definitely going to see more free time and more money (if you had a job) then what better way to spend those money than gamble it away and gain enjoyment out of it. That's my take on this question.

[madnessteat]

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.

It's the right approach.

In the early days of gambling I used to go to casinos to win, and when I lost I was angry and spent more money trying to win back.

At some point after talking to a psychologist I changed my attitude to gambling and now I play only for fun. Coming to the casino I'm preparing myself for the fact that the money I'm willing to spend is a kind of payment for the ticket allowing me to spend time in the casino.So when I run out of money I do not even get upset.

The best way to spend that money is to look for an investment that can be useful for our old age and not bother our children. While gambling is not a good thing to do, especially if we have a lot of money. If there are people who earn money from their retirement and only use it to gamble for the sake of having fun, they haven't learned how they can raise that money as long as they were working before. At least, after retirement, they can be wiser in managing their finances because they can no longer get money every month.

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.

Some people gamble for fun, some are for profit, some are for making friends, gambling alone is not very interesting, although we win a lot of money but it can't make us happy, but if we bet in groups, it must be tension, panic and excitement will definitely be served, losing and winning will always be in gambling, but we must have a good attitude in gambling, don't let us spend all of our income on gambling, I salute my friend, he always reminds me, gamble, don't forget your wife's children Before entering a gambling place, save money for your wife and children at home..

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?

Gambling is for fun, but putting money into it triggers to turn fun into something to win. That's what most people expect. Instead of looking for entertainment, they are trapped by casino games that play a gambler's mentality. So by gambling to seek pleasure and at the same time be prepared to lose or win. The psychology of a gambler cannot be separated from the desire to win and also the desire to continue to make it an alternative entertainment.

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

It depends me and most of my fellow workers always do gamble but not in casino or sports betting like gambling if the other workers would be able to do something what we told him for example drinking 3 pint of beer in 30 seconds and we place bet that he can or he can't and that was fun and we don't care if we lose or win since we are enjoying it. Same as in casino and in gambling if you are being entertained by the game without worrying if you are losing or winning then you are having fun but if you are only aiming to have money and getting anxious on what might be the outcome then you are playing for money and not the fun.

I also do that kind of gambling which basically to have fun, but am still also always after the money, because if I know I will lose I don't always participate, but if the chance of me win is high definitely I will participate because I believe we are all going to have fun and still I might still make money, if am able to do what we are competing then we laugh and the money belongs to me and if I lose we will still laugh then I will drop my own money.

I agree with the majority of those who have stated that winning is just a bonus because when we do have that amount of money to spend, we are well aware that we will lose it all and we simply want to have a good time. Even though it is extremely difficult to have fun when you are losing, you will still have a good time if you are gambling with your friends because it is more enjoyable and enlightening to gamble with your friends than it is by yourself. This is also the most effective mindset for avoiding addiction because it demonstrates that you have the ability to control your emotions.

The thing is, you shouldn't even think about making money from gambling. Smart people know that they can't win in the long run, that's why they play only for fun.

If you think you can beat the house, I have bad news for you. You can't.

The sooner you accept this fact the better it is for your financials.

When people get older they just want to have fun and enjoy life, because growing money through investments will be useless for them, since by the time it takes they will be most probably already dead or too debilitated. If you talk to elder gamblers they will tell what I mentioned above.

It's important to make investments and worry about financial life during the earlier stages of life. When you reach the elderly I fear it's too late to worry about it. All you can do is to harvest what you have sowed previously.

I would like to know in which country pensioners receive more money  As far as I know, retirement is associated with some decrease in the standard of living (however, this is often offset by a decrease in the level of needs), even in rich countries. In my country, pensioners will continue to work, otherwise they will simply become beggars.

Depending on your standard of living, some smart people have dual citizenship as they work in the US and when they retire they'll live in poor countries so they can afford everything and would live a wonderful life. I have friends that work and retire in US and go back to the Philippines to live while still receiving their pensions which is a decent money converted to Philippine peso.

Exactly there are many reasons to gamble and not everything is about making money, for example there  are many people that gamble for social reasons and the casino is just another place where they can met new people and make new friends, others like businessmen after closing a deal have the tradition to celebrate for the new deal, and decide go to a nearby casino to celebrate with the other party and have a good time, so trying to somehow artificially limit the reasons to gamble does not make sense to me.

It's depends man, I personally, am not a frequent gambler, and when ever I decide to gamble, I do it for the fun in it trust me, you have to believe it because is it highly doable.
And to correct you a bit, gambling for fun doesn't mean you should know how much you are going to loose, I will just tell you about myself because I don't know about other people.
So what I do is that when ever I decide to gamble, I set aside a certain amount of money which I've budgeted for it, I consider this money lost already, I see it as if I've given that money out to charity, when I do this and go into the game, the result of the game doesn't matter to me anymore, if I lose, Ive already Considered that money given out to charity already, and if luckily I win, then it's like I picked the money on the road, I guess you know how you feel when you pick some amount of money on the road.

My friend, you are not alone, I also when I first started gambling, of course it wasn't for fun, but I wanted to make money from gambling.
It turned out to be the same thing as you, I suffered quite a large loss. Because every time I lose I always make a deposit again to try to win
to cover my losses. But as many people say, the casino always wins in the end. Finally I realized that it was wrong to make gambling as a source of
income, so I started to learn from my mistakes. Now I have become a responsible gambler, meaning I don't gamble too much and know when
to stop gambling. Since then I started playing gambling for fun, and it turns out for me to have a positive impact since playing gambling for fun.

[RealMalatesta]

Many people doubt that the reason is that gambling is for fun, but in fact, in my opinion, quite a lot of people gamble for fun. Especially rich people who do have a very large amount of money, among them there are those who seek pleasure by gambling. In fact, not only rich people gamble for fun, I'm just an ordinary worker who gambles for entertainment, so that I can let go of the problems in my work for a while. Moreover, playing gambling on weekends with friends, it almost becomes my routine once a week. As long as we use cold money when gambling, I don't think it's a problem to lose either. So depending on each person, many also make gambling as a source of income. But because I know the risks of gambling and indeed almost all gambling games depend on our luck to win, so I really have no desire to make gambling as a source of income.

Why will they doubt when that was the real meaning of gambling but if they doubt that simply means that they have another interest in gambling. There are two types of gamblers, one is who play for fun and the other is playing for profit. They belong to the people that play for profit.

You don't need a lot of money to play gambling for fun and you can even play with zero balance because most gambling now offer demo play. Like you, you are poor but you can still enjoy playing a gambling for fun but if you want to, you can also play gambling for profit because you have a job and you can deposit a little more, than what you deposit when you play for fun.

[soureden]

The topic you are talking about is very good. Gambling for fun is of course possible. The important thing here is not how much fun you have, but how much you lose.
  People who have this type of life have two different moods or are different.
The first models are those who have made gambling addictive and are compelled to enjoy it because of their incurable discomfort.
The second models are DEFINITELY easy money earners and don't care about their easy money.

No matter how much you play for fun, being able to enjoy while constantly losing is obviously a separate mantelite. Nobody should play to lose.

[lastcedy]

If I had too much money to worry about losing and I didn't have a problem with making money, I would definitely play for fun too. I played knowing that I would lose. The ambiance of that environment is very different. I guess people feel a little more important and visible in such environments.

[jhonjhon]

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?

If you do it strictly for entertainment and not lose more than you can afford then its fine.Gambling is not suck. You can win by knowing what you are doing and control your greed.It is not for everyone, there are lossers and winners in everything but dont  blame gambling,blame yourself.

will you return another day in awareness of how much you will loose and still want to loose for fun?

No such thing as free money. Sometimes you win,sometimes you lose. If you win you definitely want more. If you lose you want it back. Certainty and uncertainty is a choice. You can choose to never be gamble. The choice is up yo you.

[alpamar99]

It largely depends on what status/period you are in as a gambler. If you are already gambling a lot and have lost large amounts of money, I don't think you can say that gambling is for fun. If you are in the beign stage, you will have to agree on bankroll management with yourself. 9 out of 10 can't keep up with that. The golden rule is still that gambling should be viewed as glee for pleasure, not to "earn" money. Then things often go horribly wrong.

when someone has lost money continuously in gambling and the losses are quite a lot I think it is categorized as an addict because indeed they continue to gamble even though they lose in the hope of returning the loss even though it will only get bigger.
I personally am still confused about the concept of fun in gambling because the scope is quite large, is it really fun to just want to play or is it fun when they win I think this needs to be looked at further

Losing a lot of money is cannot be called addiction yet since maybe there are certain scenarios what they encounter that's why this occur, but we can call a person already addicted to gambling if we can see him always facing his head on gambling site and all of his daily activities get affected like didn't eat on correct time and cannot sleep well without thinking gambling.

Maybe its all for us on how we take gambling since gambling made for entertainment and its just people overlook the situation and want to earn quick money out of it.

Maybe there are several scenarios in it that cause this to happen but losing money is quite large on average is the impact of addiction but indeed it is one of them.
Actually the word entertainment is also quite inappropriate, I think for the majority of people who do that because even though they think it is for entertainment, but if they lose, they are still emotional and have more ambition, it is no longer entertainment, because even though they think it is entertainment, they still hope lucky and really intend to do it deep in our heart
