Gambling for fun alone? how true?

[tabas]

There are those gamblers that have already accepted that they're just for it for the pastime and they don't gamble for money. They have accepted it long ago that the real fun starts for the challenge of the game and not the actual money making mechanism that's being targeted by the most. Also, there are still the gamblers that are on it for money and I've got friends that have been doing well with sports betting.
So for them, it's both, having fun while making money despite of the risk.

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

Yes, I heard lots of people saying gambling is just for fun. It seems that losing money is ok with them so let them have the fun lol. I'm not one of those as I gamble properly to make money, not as a source of income but I value every amount I'm risking at gambling.

If those people are good to lose money since they are having fun, then I don't care about their stand.

Gambling is more fun if we are winning.

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?

[Shasha80]

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.

That is stupid to believe in , because even billionaires when in gambling they wanted to win and that is part of FUN .

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

actually they are focusing in betting either win or lose what is important for them is the idea that their money using is the amount they can afford to lose.

Gambles for fun is why they tend to  accept the losing but of course they are also wanted to win if given a chances .

I would say, that i am one of those gamblers or bettors, that are only doing it for fun from time to time, for example when i am watching a important game of my favorite football team then sometimes i place a bet to be even more interested in the outcome and to make the game itself even more exciting too watch for me personally. Of course i still want to win the bets that i place, but i only use small amounts of money when i gamble or bet and when i do that i always have in my mind before that is completely possible, or even likely that i lose all that money. Of course i am also sad or angry when i lose the money in the end but it's not like that it is ruining my whole week or so.

In gambling they say, "winner is the one who knows when to stop". I say you are winner even if you know when to stop to avoid more losses.
I have to admit that gambling only brings to me tension and anxiety since its hard to digest your loss and same may be true for others also. I don't agree to this fact that gambling is just for fun. If its for fun then why only 18+ are allowed to gamble and many countries have banned gambling.
Just me few satoshis.

What is in the mind of gambling players is every time you place a bet you will get a win, despite not getting a win on the first bet, will definitely win on the next bet.
Gambling players have a desire to always win, despite the fact that the money they bring to the casino runs out on every bet they play.
There is no reason playing gambling just for fun, I don't believe that a statement. When you ask a gambler when his position is losing, surely the answer is he will come back again to get the money he has lost, they will be happy when they manage to get money from the bookies. If they lost, it was clear he wouldn't be happy.

I think you have got a point there. The point is that the more money, the more excitement, so it's funnier.

In my case I can assure you that there is a big difference between playing poker with no money, or with play money as in many sites and playing with very small amounts of money. Playing with no money can be entertaining but people tend to get bored quickly and don't get as excited. The moment money comes into play there is more emotional involvement.

Will lose the pleasure if lose but if the goal is just for fun then it will not be a problem players will return to play and continue playing as long as they still have funds left to use, and I do not consider this an addiction but rather the need to refresh from boring routine activities.
I will continue to play even if I lose as long as I have not exceeded the limit of funds I can afford to lose.

[madnessteat]

I, like many others, gamble for fun. 

If as a child I had fun riding on amusement rides and playing soccer, then today I am not interested in these activities. But playing poker or slots gives me a lot of pleasure.

Anyone who is still chasing the winnings must understand that most gamblers lose their money. Learn to play for fun and then you will not think about the money spent.

I've seen many and I admit I do, more like to pass the time but since I rarely gamble these days, it's more like a motto to me now tbh.

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

Everyone loves to make money, what a hermit are you to tell yourself you're not. I know the feeling on both but if I can make money while having fun then it's euphoria. I mostly do it for fun but those money are surely not getting into hundreds of dollars to be lost that's why it's for fun but not entirety of having it all at that I always think if I can win or double it then I stop. Not fun on losing but there's a little chance of regret of course. It's not for fun if it's daily, I can assure you that it's not anymore.

In the first place, why pursue becoming rich thru doing gambling? It's not making sense.

A lot of players are seeking the "big jackpot" or the win that can "change the life".
These events are not impossible but...practically close to impossible.
I have seen several person in my Country (a couple also in my city) that after a big win (millions of EURO) have wasted everything in shopping and buying useless stuff... at end it was just a temporary change of their life, nothing that really matters.

This is a subjective matter.

For some people, gambling is fun, hence they gamble for the sake of entertainment. Some take the risks in gambling because they see gambling as an opportunity to make income or to generate profit. And there are people who are gambling for both reasons. It is a case to case basis and it would really depend on the individual to determine how they would play and what would their attitude be in winning or losing.

For those people who gamble for fun, these people surely have enough or even more than enough money on their pockets. These people are usually categorized as the rich gamblers that are in it for fun. To solely enjoy the game and to reach the satisfaction they need in playing. These people do not really mind shedding thousands or even millions just to satisfy themselves because after all, they can always earn it back and they have so much of it that they don't know where to spend it. So they rather play and enjoy in gambling because they have all the things they need and want already. I consider them as the elites who don't know where to put their money anymore, thus carelessly spending it over anything they want as long as it gives them the happiness and fulfilment they want and long for. As much as it is hard to believe that there are people like these, but yes they exist. It just seems unbelievable because for majority of us here, money is something that we value so much because it's hard to acquire. But fortunately, for them it is not.

Meanwhile, there are gamblers who are in it for the sake of profiting - to generate income or even make a living out of it. Some players really take gambling as an opportunity to make money because it's true that there's really money in gambling. You just have to have the knowledge, skills, and strategies in order to win a bet. By continuously doing that, someone can make an incom out of it which can sustain their needs and wants. It could even be a side hustle for some. Although it is also important to take note that in this case, discipline and limitations should be set right away.

Then there's the mix of both. A gambler that is both after the fun and income. These people are the practical and wise ones in my opinion because they get to enjoy while earning at the side. Fulfilling the satisfaction while generating income at the same time. But of course, this should still be done with set boundaries to avoid losses and to avoid being to caught up with emotions during betting to achieve either entertainment and money.

All gamblers are here seeking one time opportunity to change their life towards what they are betting and this is totally addicting knowing the hunger to win can literally put them up on high risk since chances to win a jackpot is so low. Although its still good to take those chances and also see some several guys who win a huge amount for what they are betting for but sadly they fall down again because they cannot control their finances due to suddem changes they get in quick instances.

Of course making money is nice. Who would say no to some free money? The problem is that the casino games are not designed to make us money, they are designed to make money for the casino itself. All the games have a negative expected value for the gambler. This doesn't mean that everybody is going to lose, it's just more likely to lose than to win money. That's why saying we only gamble to make money is not the best mindset. If we don't enjoy gambling itself I would probably advice to not start gambling to make money. It helps to have passion for playing games of chance and bet money with it. Playing a game with the sole purpose of making money it's best to look into Poker. In poker a good strategy can make money on a regular basis. With other casino games we need to be lucky to get a big payout.

[Issa56]

Most of the people that gamble always gamble to make money, but some people gamble just to have fun so not really everybody that gamble always gamble to make money. like me personally whenever am gambling I always gamble to make money, I don't really gamble for fun I can't afford to be losing money and still be calling it fun, but I know of a friend that always gamble for fun some times whenever he is stressed the only thing he do to cool himself down is to gamble so I believe some people gamble for fun but lots of people gamble to make money.

Lossing money ain't no fun lol. Well, that depends on how much money we're talking about.
Gambling is fun when you're winning, but then again lossing ain't no fun. It would be totally weird If someone is lossing in gambling and still retain the same smile and enjoyment he have when he was still winning lol.

All I can say is that, gambling is for fun because you can earn and win money easily, but the same time you can lose your money easily as well.

[Wexnident]

I mean, yes? I myself am an example really. I've always enjoyed blackjack and poker, and would always play with a few of my friends back in the days without any betting of sorts. It was after I graduated that I tried out gambling with poker, but I never really changed my pov for gambling. I gamble for fun, sure, winning is fun in of itself, but I tend to enjoy the process of playing the game itself. As for slots, though I don't enjoy them as much, I still tend to have that hyped up tendency sometimes? Where expectations fail me and I lose, or if I suddenly win. Those kinds of things are what makes it fun for me.

[Marykeller]

Gambling is something that keeps your mind at unease when played. Anything that does that to your health is supposed not to take as fun.
Gamblers are the most serious-minded being when they gamble with money. Am yet to see gamblers who bet huge of money on gambling for fun.
Gamblers gambled to make more money not to lose money. Nobody loses money to be happy no matter how rich he is. I have seen scenarios when life are been lost during gambling
