People are not only gambling to win but they are buying entertainment

This adrenalin and endorphins are what feed gamblers to gamble more without logical reason even to the point that they have no chance to win.

Many of us here will say that we are gambling for entertainment but this is the same reason why compulsive gamblers put in more money they want to feel high, so if you say I gamble for fun does this mean you admit you are buying entertainment to produce adrenalin and endorphins, so you keep on putting more money to get that feeling regardless if you win or lose.

We pay for entertainment, gambling is just too expensive for entertainment when people can chose Netflix to watch movie all day. There is just the urge to gamble and hope to win big and when they lose they still think they are just unlucky and the next day might be lucky.

Although we think the house always win, there is a chance to win and the gambling success stories just hard to ignore.  

[Wexnident]

I guess you could consider it as such? Though I don't think it's wrong,  I'm guessing those hormones are something natural, not just in gambling, you can probably get it as well from playing different types of games.

I reckon the bad thing here is an excess or letting yourself be swept away by those? In simple terms it's like the feeling of thrill and such. To the point where if you feel it even by a small amount, you just get swept by it immediately.

[electronicash]

the cost of buying this entertainment is limitless, there are millionaires who lost a fortune in gambling. it took a lot of money before they learn because the brains likes the endorphins  and dopamines made their billionaire mind spends money.

just like the gamblers, investors also act the same even when the new projects they invest are somewhat unsure or scamy but because they are used to the feeling that the project could be a success, they still buy the new meme tokens even in the bear market.

This is why casinos are the most profitable industry, many people are not playing to win, they all know that there is a house edge and they will eventually lose but based on the study, people are buying entertainment.

I have never thought of gambling in this sense but then I think the researchers may be right. Nowadays, we do most of the things we enjoy doing to be entertained. I get the logic behind the results at least for the land-base casino. Everything about the place is designed to get the customers entertained. From the lights to the sounds of the machine to the smell of the place. They are subliminal stimulation for getting high. I wonder if the result would be the same if the study is conducted on folks who prefer to visit online casinos to land-based casinos.

I'd like to believe it is the same, but the difference is the dopamine effect where online casinos offer perks, ranking wager bonuses, and status just for them to chase winnings, the contest is a big come-on casino like them to feel that they have a chance to win big, and when you win big it's hard to come down to that feeling of dominance, you want the feeling and you want nothing less if an online casino cannot make you play longer they are doing something wrong or the gambler is not tempted at all on these perks.

[mindrust]

People always should gamble for entertainment. Winning is the casino’s job, not the player’s. See Vegas and the other physical casinos in the world, they are all about entertainment. The players always lose money in the long term but the trick is making them feel good about it so they will always come back and lose more. You make them feel good by offering free stuff like snacks and drinks and good looking hostesses.

[michellee]

The compulsive gambler will use more money to get more fun and, of course, think that using more money will give them a chance to win. But that's not entirely true because their odds will remain the same and even their chances of losing could be bigger, especially if they use more money in each bet.

Unfortunately, people don't use gambling as a tool for fun, thus triggering them to keep playing while hoping for a win. And this will make them addicted in the future, especially if they can't stop gambling for a while and switch to other activities. The desire to win itself will be great when you can win a few spins and instead of stopping your gambling, you are triggered to play gambling again.

It is true the monetary costs of gambling can go out of control if you get addicted to it, however those cases are relatively rare as most people can set a budget for their gambling activities and respect it without too much of a problem, and this is because people understand very well the nature of gambling, they are playing against the casino with the odds against them, but that is precisely what makes gambling so interesting, because when you are able to pull a win when you should not be able to do so this makes those wins even more valuable in the eyes of the gamblers.

Not really, every person has their preference like when one person like news than tele series or vice versa.  Gamblers have different reasons why they gamble.  Like professional gamblers, they gamble because they want to earn money, while others just like what OP stated gamble to have fun.  I agree, we buy entertainment when we gamble.

[ImThour]

Yea, it's fun losing money If you would like to say it that way.
I would rather spend those bills with my friends and family actually enjoying something in real life.
Imagine being a loner and losing thousands and didn't even tell anyone bout it, no flex I would say.

[danherbias07]

It's a no for me.
I want to add fun to the game and at the same time win it. I can say that because I feel the upset emotion whenever I miss just one point, or I lose just one bet from my parlay. That means I really like to win more while fueling the excitement of watching the game.
It's not like I just put the bet there without doing the analysis, so might as well try to increase the chance of winning so that the effort will not be a waste.

What you do does not detract from the fact that gambling is indeed a form of entertainment.

Gambling gives you an adrenaline rush and winning or losing gives you emotions. Maybe you get them by watching Netflix but if gambling is such a big industry it is precisely because of that, an entertainment that causes a strong emotional impact.

Look at the importance gambling has had in the history of bitcoin, or the importance it has in this forum, it is an activity that cannot be understood only as an attempt to make money.

I don't know if I am doing it but if I am yes I admit it without problems.I feel the need,not urge to gamble just once every week and with small amount of money,not exceeding 100 dollars weekly,I like to play a long session and spend them all in one day no matter if I win or lose,once I think it is time to move on I move on.I am not addicted so based on this I think I am buying entertainment once every week,since the amount I spend is the same as buying a ticket to see a football game in the stadium or going out for a dinner,I am choosing gambling over the other two but without overdoing it,so may be this study is right after all.

That is part of it I guess, there is no entertainment if you don't spend money. And casino's are the perfect example of it. You play let's say in a land base casino, the moment you step it, adrenaline is already rushing, you see lots of people playing winning big and then some live bands performing, drinks everywhere. And so you are suckered into that energy, you lost control of everything, endorphins shoot up in your body and you are 'high' and wanted to gamble your money.

[Atropol25]

It is very interesting. I think it is also a way to affirm our will to win, our will to have power. Or at least, for me there is also this aspect...

[hahay]

Maybe gambling for them is a way to produce adrenaline and endorphins without having to do extreme sports, but would it be wiser if they did it by playing video games. Because I think to produce adrenaline and endorphins doesn't have to be a gamble, because there are many other ways to produce that energy. But indeed, every individual has their own way and if they choose to keep gambling maybe it is an easy and convenient way for them to produce the adrenaline and endorphins they want.

[Doell]

so if you say I gamble for fun does this mean you admit you are buying entertainment to produce adrenalin and endorphins, so you keep on putting more money to get that feeling regardless if you win or lose.

It could be, I admit that when I'm alone to be honest, I'm depressed but not often, tired easily because of a lack of adrenaline hormone in the body. according to my personal doctor I must doing a physical exercise to balance the adrenaline hormone, but the most effective way I think is to take medicine or by gambling. Actually there are others, watching horror movies but not fun or doing extreme activities but it's dangerous for our bodies, gambling will increase adrenaline and endorphins at the same time. With a little money is better but remember that excess adrenaline will make you mentally like an insane person and become addicts irresponsible.

[aoluain]

There are some people I guess who gamble with friends and family and get a lot of fun
and entertainment from it. But yea its a very fine line between entertainment and
being totally ruined.

Entertainment is a very general topic, people spend vast amounts of money on hobbies
all for the sake of entertainment so why not Gambling?

Gambling does have a stigma attached to it but it anyone can manage the expectations,
the mentality and possible addiction then why not.

[BobK71]

In one sense it is true. I have seen many gamblers who do not gamble for money. Sports or casino can be your lonely companion. This can be one of the best ways to spend your free time. Where you will never be bothered. However, it has been seen many times that many people lost control and become addicted to it.

[Boristhecat]

This is why casinos are the most profitable industry, many people are not playing to win, they all know that there is a house edge and they will eventually lose but based on the study, people are buying entertainment.
-skip-

Quite right. It is surprising that for many people this is some kind of discovery. This is probably due to the fact that the stories that we hear about gambling are mostly high-profile incidents like "the gambler lost his salary for 10 years and fled the country." Similarly, stories about people with gambling addiction who find themselves in various problematic situations. But 99.99% of the cases where a person just went to the casino, just spent $100 in exchange for entertainment, and just returned home do not attract our attention.

[KTChampions]

I wrote a long time ago that I am surprised by people who complain about "losses" in gambling. Similarly, we "lose" money when we go to the cinema to watch a movie or to a restaurant to drink wine at a price of x5 of the usual price. This is the entertainment fee. And most people, in my opinion, understand this well, and those who try to make a profit out of entertainment get mostly only disappointment.

[Ratash]

I guess there is some truth in what you said gambling is fun and dangerous at the same time that's why some gamblers feel the adrenaline rush when they are gambling i guess its a bit like smoking but in reality its not a healthy thing since people are losing their money.

[Natalim]

It's something that some people did not understand.

When you are criticized for being a gambler because they think that you are just wasting money, then it's wrong.
We might lose money in gambling but if we are still getting the entertainment we are expecting, then it's not wasting money.

Going to the moviehouse paying money is a waste of time if you will not enjoy the movie, but if you will enjoy it, it's not.
Therefore gambling is not a waste of money for those who enjoyed it.

[Eternad]

There’s is Netflix with cheap subscription if people just need entertainment in gambling, Gambling was supposed to be for fun only that’s many players used that as reason to play and cover there depressed feelings when lose. But in reality, Most of gamblers wants to win because that’s will give them fun and not the losses. Let’s be honest here that no one is happy when you lose, There’s a part in our brain that really feel said when we lose no matter how hard we denied it.

These are players who are thinking to win and try to challenge the house edge, losing in gambling is inevitable you're naive if you think losing is not normal the key is how to take your losses and feel the fun and excitement in playing, if you get depressed playing then you have the wrong idea and mindset.
You're already a winner if you win or lose then have fun and you can log out and say

wow what a game that's exciting

[YOSHIE]

This is why casinos are the most profitable industry, many people are not playing to win, they all know that there is a house edge and they will eventually lose but based on the study, people are buying entertainment.

I've seen with my own eyes, someone did a gambling bet, really just for fun and entertainment, it doesn't matter if you lose or win, it's not a fairy tale, a fact.

What that person did, made me dumbfounded, because the person won about $10,000 in bets, he said everything in this restaurant I paid for food, I won gambling, eat all you can.

What @fortunecrypto said, in this topic I don't argue with it, some people really gambling has its own charm for its users, wins bets, they really want to buy entertainment for themselves and their relatives.

[tabas]

There's the scientific explanation about those hormones on why we keep on gambling even though we understand that we're not winning.
I have thought of this as something that I just do for entertainment and if I lose, I'll think of it that I've just paid for the entertainment value that I've got despite I really gamble to win and make some and win some.

[fiulpro]

Isn't this already obvious?
Time an again there are topics made on the forum regarding how, gambling should be taken as an entertainment and not a way to earn loads of money, its essentially a way to increase your dopamine, for some people they might relish in the thrill of climbing mountains or going scuba diving as well, which means that gambling in every sense would be an important link in even communities as well, some of the countries have history of gambling as well, blackjack and other card games are enjoyed by everyone around, be it your grandfather or even you.

[ethereumhunter]

Yes, right. People not only play gambling but also buy entertainment because gambling games can pleasure them. But that is what causes many people to become addicted and cannot stop immediately because the temptation of gambling is so great and they find it difficult to stop it. From those who are curious about what gambling is like, trying to play with spare money, trying to increase the amount of money used to gamble until they finally become addicted. This is just a ticking time bomb that can give them trouble; if they don't realize it, they will have a serious addiction.

[crwth]

People I know who gamble a lot are out there playing because of money. He isn't saying that it's for entertainment. He even says that if it's not about the money, he won't play in a casino or online, for that matter. It's probably just different people with different perspectives on what they will do with their time. Maybe they just want to spend the time or feed their greed inside and hope that it will be helpful for them in the long run if they get the jackpot.

[Reid]

Therefore, someone who is addicted to gambling must find new ways to entertain himself. I understand the need for excitement but there are other ways to do it. Take for example, rides in a carnival that is life threatening.  
I do understand though the expectation to get back whatever was loss. This happens when you cannot forget about it so you keep on betting until you ROI but it doesn't end there, it's actually an endless cycle. When you achieve that moment, it's not entertaining anymore but more like revenge.

[Oshosondy]

Many of us here will say that we are gambling for entertainment but this is the same reason why compulsive gamblers put in more money they want to feel high, so if you say I gamble for fun does this mean you admit you are buying entertainment to produce adrenalin and endorphins, so you keep on putting more money to get that feeling regardless if you win or lose.

It depends.

I am not an addict, I use just less than 5% of my weekly income to gamble. Gambling is not a compulsion for me. If I am losing, I am not depressed unlike before. I do not know if my body have hormonal response to gambling after when I am not addicted anymore, but it feels good.

Normally, human body have hormonal response to what is happening in their environment. Even anything that makes you feel excited will increase your bodily secretion of adrenaline, one of the functions of adrenal gland and other adrenaline secretory glands in the body. If the body feel stressed, endorphins ate telased.

[yazher]

The big dream is what makes people want to try huge risks and one of them is gambling where people can turn the table of their life but in reality, gambling brings more harm than benefits. When you lose, it affects your mental health even though you only looking for fun and you start to get addicted once you won big. That's what people should really consider and ponder when they take the first step to entering a casino because more likely they won't be the same person when they get out.

[Zilon]

In real sense we are actually paying for fun and entertainment through gambling. What makes this entertainment unique is the fact that chances of winning while risking our funds exist so this consciousness makes our  body produce adrenalin and endorphins
while loses surrounds each prediction. The ability to say no to this impulses is what saves gamblers from addiction. No gambler planned on becoming compulsive but their inability to control this impulses gave addiction a chance

[Apocollapse]

Therefore, someone who is addicted to gambling must find new ways to entertain himself. I understand the need for excitement but there are other ways to do it. Take for example, rides in a carnival that is life threatening.  

Lol you're joking, but for some people riding a rollercoaster doesn't mean anything to their adrenaline since they're wouldn't thought they will die because of this stuff. Actually free falling is the highest excitement sport that would make you feel to not wasting your life for dumb thing.

I do understand though the expectation to get back whatever was loss. This happens when you cannot forget about it so you keep on betting until you ROI but it doesn't end there, it's actually an endless cycle. When you achieve that moment, it's not entertaining anymore but more like revenge.

Yeah, anyone shouldn't think about their past losses and try to recover as much as they can because it wouldn't end. I'm just curious how many people can bought many branded stuffs and buy an expensive skin for their game characters, but they didn't happy when they spend a lot money on gambling.

For most people gambling is just a form of entertainment and that is great if kept controlled. Some people might pop into a casino once a year with friends and throw down a hundred dollars they can spare, fully expecting to lose it all. Other people might buy a lottery ticket simply chasing the dream that a small amount could turn into a big amount if they get really lucky. Others might place a few dollars down a week on a sports bet on big events to "make it interesting". None of these are a problem generally, it's when it becomes a daily thing or amounts get far beyond fun money, at that point gamblers are often chasing losses that they have no hope of regaining in the way that they lost it - it's a downward spiral that needs to be stopped before reaching this point.

People do not think that gambling is entertainment, they think that gambling is to make the money and if they do not make money (get loss in gambling), they do not feel entertained. For those people, entertainment is gambling is linked with the results. If they win in gambling, they are entertained and if they lose, they become sad and depressed.

I wish the majority of the people treat gambling as entertainment and not link fun & entertainment with making money.

[len01]

like i gamble just to fill my spare time during work breaks and consider gambling like playing games.
sometimes when i talk like this a lot of people don't believe it because they think if i play gambling it's just like playing a game, do i not want to win when gambling. but i always answer when i win while gambling, it is just a bonus. but if i lose and the rest of my money runs out, it's a natural thing for me.
maybe my mind has too much adrenaline and endorphins

Maybe it could be true, but I see that many gamblers (especially poor people) trying to play in way to obtain some profit, and this isn't a correct way to play, because you risk to become addicted.

As you've said, yes gambling is a sort of entertainment (I like so much to go in a casino and play), but it should be stopped once you've finished your budget, and not playing everything you have.

[virasisog]

People who gamble for entertainment are those who have lots of allocated funds for it and are not afraid to lose it. Some gamblers seek comfort from gambling and we can't question them for that. We all have our own reasons to gamble but honestly, most of us gamble because of the hope of hitting the jackpot and making money. We see gamble in different ways.

[Sirait]

I think we already have a lot of topics that discuss this and of course all of them have their own goals and understanding for gambling. for example, a gambling addict considers gambling to be the goal of his life, there is no longer any entertainment in it, there is only how to make him fulfill his desire to play gambling every day. I personally make gambling as entertainment only, when I lose that day, I will return the next day with enthusiasm and confidence to win.

Yes, Its about having the right mindset, treating gambling as a form of entertainment is healthier
than using it in a serious way to earn money, professional gambling aside, I'm referring to casual
gambling.

Dont forget anyone can fund their gambling wallet with as much or as little as they can
afford or are willing to lose. Not all gambling has to be a problem.

[3meek]

I started betting on sports purely for the fun of it... I remember well the time when I used to watch matches and betting added to my adrenaline... Now the situation has not changed much, and I still bet for fun, but I am still addicted to it... Sometimes I bet on matches I would never have watched before in my life...

Different people have different reasons to gamble. I used to come around suggestions on gambling, spend what is allocated for entertainment purposes. If users think in such a way people won't easily get into addiction and big loss. The bad part of gambling happens when we get into gambling with the hope of hitting jackpot. When things didn't go as expected we loss control and keep on spending.

I disagree that when I gamble only to buy adrenaline-generating entertainment. There are many options for buying fun entertainment that produces adrenaline and endorphins, I'm not buying fun in gambling just for the need for adrenaline or endorphins. Rock climbing or surfing is more adrenaline-pumping than buying pleasure just for the adrenaline in gambling. when i wanted to gamble in a casino, the adrenaline was already pumping before i started and this feeling is very common to everyone, of course putting in more money will really stimulate adrenaline and endorphins but not to buy entertainment to produce adrenaline and endorphins.

[Hispo]

We pay for entertainment, gambling is just too expensive for entertainment when people can chose Netflix to watch movie all day. There is just the urge to gamble and hope to win big and when they lose they still think they are just unlucky and the next day might be lucky.

Not really, every person has their preference like when one person like news than tele series or vice versa.  Gamblers have different reasons why they gamble.  Like professional gamblers, they gamble because they want to earn money, while others just like what OP stated gamble to have fun.  I agree, we buy entertainment when we gamble.

I'd say that casual gambling unlike professional gambling is about the thrill a person can feel when playing with the chances, the money of course only helps to enhance the feeling of uncentainly before the result, this feeling which people like.

The big difference is that when someone pays for Netflix or Disney+, they know what they are getting in return for their purchase, gambling is not like that, as we all know.

[Slow death]

when people go to see a musical show, when people go to drink in a bar, when people pay TV channels to watch movies, when people go to soccer stadiums to watch soccer.... and so many other things that people people do, they are paying to be entertained. That's why it wouldn't be different with gambling. in physical casinos for example we can see that people are playing these slot games in the greatest joy and talking and drinking in the casino. it doesn't seem to me that many of them are there in the physical casino focused on winning and having a lot of money, they are looking for fun

People who gamble for entertainment are those who have lots of allocated funds for it and are not afraid to lose it.

It's not just people with a lot of money who play for fun, even many poor people play for fun. take a good look at the slot games that are installed in the neighborhoods, you will see many people around the machine playing and laughing. they are not expecting to make a lot of money, they are there to have fun

[TimeTeller]

when people go to see a musical show, when people go to drink in a bar, when people pay TV channels to watch movies, when people go to soccer stadiums to watch soccer.... and so many other things that people people do, they are paying to be entertained. That's why it wouldn't be different with gambling. in physical casinos for example we can see that people are playing these slot games in the greatest joy and talking and drinking in the casino. it doesn't seem to me that many of them are there in the physical casino focused on winning and having a lot of money, they are looking for fun

Some people really do play for fun, but some definitely are after for the possibility of winning.
At the back of their minds, they will be more than happy if they will win their games.
For most occasional gamblers, I can agree that they maybe more on the entertainment side.
But for gambling addicts, I believe, it is more than fun that they are looking for but the possibility of chasing their losses, or keeping up with their adrenaline activity.

[Ebede]

This is why casinos are the most profitable industry, many people are not playing to win, they all know that there is a house edge and they will eventually lose but based on the study, people are buying entertainment.

no gambling that is not profitable it depends on the way you can go and the way you predict your gambling I know that casino gambling pay me is one of the Major industry that is profitable but before now other people has been gambling from different sector to another like soccer game so I believe that with time the development that will come from gambling will be better and will be profitable than casino can bring as many people line up with casino game

I disagree with OP that people gamble because they want entertainment only. Not correct.
People gambol because they want to have money - and when they have money - they are entertained and when they lose the money they are depressed.

[Oceat]

Gambling is meant to be played for entertainment while enjoying whether you win or not but majority of gamblers like to win that's why they play. Some of them are intrigued with the reward that's why they choose to play even though they knew their chances of winning is low. But somehow due to excessive losses some people tend to play too much thinking they could take back what they have lost in gambling and the more they think they could win it back the more they are losing and that is what we called addiction.

[dezoel]

I don't think they gamble only because they want to get entertained because there are many ways to get entertained without needing to pay regularly. We have our gadgets, we have our sports, and others that are free. People play gamble also because of the possibility of earning a profit. If they don't win, it's fine because they still feel entertained anyway.

The real reason why casinos are a profitable industry is because of the people that gambles for the sake of making more money. It's hard to win in a casino and when the gambler losses, they will find ways to get more money so that they can be able to play gambling again. Anyone has a chance to win no matter how low the chances are but as long as the casino you are playing with is legit.

[Newlifebtc]

I think we already have a lot of topics that discuss this and of course all of them have their own goals and understanding for gambling. for example, a gambling addict considers gambling to be the goal of his life, there is no longer any entertainment in it, there is only how to make him fulfill his desire to play gambling every day. I personally make gambling as entertainment only, when I lose that day, I will return the next day with enthusiasm and confidence to win.

from what I am seeing you I will see everybody is a scholar of it own in gambling tradition and in gambling involvement some people get addicted to gambling because then want to get addicted to it and where have to know that when you get addicted to gambling you'll find it very difficult to get away from it and before you get away from it you must have gloves excessive amount of money that will make you to rethink and I understand but what you are doing is abnormal

[Viscore]

We pay for entertainment, gambling is just too expensive for entertainment when people can chose Netflix to watch movie all day. There is just the urge to gamble and hope to win big and when they lose they still think they are just unlucky and the next day might be lucky.

Although we think the house always win, there is a chance to win and the gambling success stories just hard to ignore.  

That's the reality in gambling. Even if our main goal is to get entertained and have fun, i guess we still have this emotional urge to get lucky and win big because we get more entertained if we also gain profits aside. Some may say its fine to lose because they get entertained, but i would say it will be more satisfying if we got entertained and then we made money too. I guess it's part of gambling, some may have just overwhelmed by money that they get addicted to gambling to get more money.

I don't think that gamblor goes to casino because they want to but  entertainments only. Not sure about it.
Gamblor goes to casino because he want money - more and more money. Do you know in many cultures gambling is not liked and admired at all and people do that in hiding. They stake their honor for the sake of money and not for entertainment.

if you watch a gambler you will know that what a gambler is interested his to make money and when it loses money from 8 gambling it will feel disappointed but when it profit in gambling it will feel good. So the thing that is in gambling is that some people have another thing in mind and do another thing. So therefore gambling is game which people play to get money

[ralle14]

There’s is Netflix with cheap subscription if people just need entertainment in gambling, Gambling was supposed to be for fun only that’s many players used that as reason to play and cover there depressed feelings when lose. But in reality, Most of gamblers wants to win because that’s will give them fun and not the losses. Let’s be honest here that no one is happy when you lose, There’s a part in our brain that really feel said when we lose no matter how hard we denied it.  

There are different ways to get entertained but we can't blame others who prefer gambling over other options that are available. I somewhat agree with the winning part but you can still have fun even if you're not winning and it depends on one's experience, recently I tried playing at a freeroll table and still had fun as things got competitive in the final seconds. Once you get involved with a group of people it'll be much easier to have a grasp of it.

[lienfaye]

Many of us here will say that we are gambling for entertainment but this is the same reason why compulsive gamblers put in more money they want to feel high, so if you say I gamble for fun does this mean you admit you are buying entertainment to produce adrenalin and endorphins, so you keep on putting more money to get that feeling regardless if you win or lose.

Well you have a point. Many gamblers are playing to have fun or to entertain themselves (like me) though the chances to win is slim.

But the different emotion especially the excitement, for me, that is something that only gambling can fill. There's money involved and thats what makes it more fun to play. Yes its hard to win but there's always a chance right?

So it depends on the gamblers how they handle themselves. Because gambling is also addicting if you cant cantrol yourself even your aim on why you gamble is only to entertain yourself.

[Nrcewker]

We pay for entertainment, gambling is just too expensive for entertainment when people can chose Netflix to watch movie all day.

But in gambling there is chances that you will make some money, leaving the house edge thing apart.
In the other end if you just watch Netflix all day long, then you just don’t do any thing productive.
Yes I agree upto a certain part that gambling has now become a source of entertainment for many rich lads. I mean if they can afford to lose, then they only placing the bets in gambling events. So yes we can say it as a form of entertainment where risk is involved.
Whereas in the other end, a middle class man gamble to fulfil his needs and concentrate less on the entertainment thing.

[LogitechMouse]

Well, different people have different ways of getting entertained and there are some who wants to get entertained thru gambling. Different people have different approach when it comes to gambling. Some see it as an entertainment, some see it as a way for them to make money and some sees gambling as a way to socialize with other people. Though it's a bit expensive if you will ask me, it's their money and life and as long as they are enjoying while gambling then it's ok. As for me, I can be entertained just by playing online games while listening to some background music.

The problem with the gamblers is that there are some of them who wants to gamble because of money and not for entertainment. There are some gamblers who still chooses to gamble even though their chances of winning is very low to close to zero.

agreed,
not everyone gambles for fun rather there can be different reasons for it. Like,
Trying to earn money without any effort, thinking of earning money in a shortcut way, a way to earn money quickly, and thinking of getting rich.

It's possible that for most people it's just fun stuff, but it's not like everyone starts gambling with the same thinking.

[michellee]

If they realize that gambling games have two choices, namely winning and losing, their disappointment will not be too big because it has become their risk in playing gambling. Maybe it is true that people play gambling for entertainment, and many have strayed from their original intentions. For this reason, we must really know how to treat gambling properly and correctly so that we will not be misguided and even become addicted to gambling.

The first thing to note is that people don’t just gamble for the prospect of winning. Mark Griffiths, a psychologist at Nottingham Trent University who specializes in behavioral addictions points out that gamblers list a wide range of motivations for their habit.

Even when you’re losing while you’re gambling, your body is still producing adrenalin and endorphins – Mark Griffiths, Nottingham Trent University

This adrenalin and endorphins are what feed gamblers to gamble more without logical reason even to the point that they have no chance to win.

Doesn't it seem as simple as that, like when you just enter an Amusement area in a mall to play the games that are there, you have to buy a token so that you have the opportunity to play and just entertain yourself not to make you money. In a gamble, it looks like that too, doesn't it?

But there are others who enter a gamble to earn fast not to entertain themselves because this is the only way they can think of to earn big and they do not think of losing instead they think of what if they get the jackpot of course they make a big profit immediately with their small investment. That is their mindsets.

Yes, it is. People are buying the entertainment or we can say consuming it but at some point many lose their control and let the urge or fun or anything they are going for let them to control which we call it as addiction. Anything is good until we are in the limits or else even consuming food or drinking water excessively with no limits can end up fatal.

Therefore, we must know how to use or consume it so that it will not harm us. We certainly don't want to see we will become addicted because we lose control while playing gambling. We can have fun using gambling but we must remember that gambling can make us experience the harsh reality of losing from playing that gambling. People buy entertainment and it's not just gambling because they buy it everywhere else.

Man, becoming rich through gambling is one of the greatest human delusion. Though, some people found fortune in gambling, but it won't take long and will become bankrupt eventually especially when he keeps on gambling.
I might agree that gambling may provide you the easiest money ever, but would also take away your money the easiest way as well. But actually, there is an effort involved in gambling. Analysing the game is already an effort.

[bitbollo]

I absolutely agree.
Gambling is also a kind of entertainment, an interactive show where the player is an active part of the unfolding of the events.

It's like participating in a show by paying an entrance ... only in some cases you can even win I believe that only a part of the players see gambling from this point of view

Yes, not many players or gamblers have the same view and also, I think there will be a different perception with this topic about what players and gamblers are too. Maybe in general they are the same is about people who gamble but if the connection is only about entertainment, I wonder if these people can be said to be gamblers or maybe it's enough to just say they are players. Because maybe gamblers are those who play for victory and profit, while players are only those who play just for the entertainment they can get when betting and don't care about the results they can stop and continue betting.

I have to agree getting rich through gambling something very far from possible as you say delusional. however, gamblers should know that gambling houses or online casinos do not promise or offer wealth, casinos only offer fun entertainment and if we are lucky we win big money prizes. 
so it would be wise if a player does not seek income from gambling activities.

There are many reasons why people like online casinos: flexible hours, a wide range of opportunities, real fun, and a lot of bonuses. No need to leave home to earn money. In short, have as much fun as you want. I think it's a great alternative to a real casino, although it has its own charm.

That's always my point of view when I'm starting to hit that login button on my favorite gambling platform though I must say on rare occasions this may change especially when I'm trying to recover that loss. Most of the people I guess thinks it's a way of living which is entirely wrong.

I don't quite understand the relation between real fun and online casino, I guess many people in virtual/online are easier to make such fake smile/laugh on chat/text but the truth they're didn't even smiling. But I'm not saying everyone wouldn't make a fun with online casino since there are some people who can't gamble because of their jurisdictions or their privacy concern.

Personally I think traditional casino is more real fun rather than online casino since you're freely to get free drink, met your friends and have a real adrenaline.

[darkangel11]

It's true. Some people need adrenaline rush from speed like jumping with a parachute or racing in a car, others go ride a rollercoaster, and some other people need this feeling of putting money on the line in a casino. It all costs you. You can spend $100 on this or that and after that bungee jump or skydive you will still be $100 lighter just like after losing in a casino. The difference is you can sometimes win in a casino and leave with $200. after all that fun.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

This adrenalin and endorphins are what feed gamblers to gamble more without logical reason even to the point that they have no chance to win.

Everyone knows that the odds of ever winning a game is always 1/100 while that of losing 99/100, but because of the potential winnings and mindset that one-day they will win makes them crave more, not minding how much money lost so far in the cause of trying ones luck on gambling, which is why people who could predict   the possible outcome correctly are always given huge reward.

Some gamblers rely on their luck in gambling so they prefer risking their funds in it with the hope of winning despite all the odds. We all know that most gambling games rely on luck and the thrill and excitement of it is entertainment to others. There's a satisfaction that gambling can provide so no wonder why lots of gamblers keep betting and playing despite all the risks.

[KTChampions]

I wrote a long time ago that I am surprised by people who complain about "losses" in gambling. Similarly, we "lose" money when we go to the cinema to watch a movie or to a restaurant to drink wine at a price of x5 of the usual price. This is the entertainment fee. And most people, in my opinion, understand this well, and those who try to make a profit out of entertainment get mostly only disappointment.

These are players who are thinking to win and try to challenge the house edge, losing in gambling is inevitable you're naive if you think losing is not normal the key is how to take your losses and feel the fun and excitement in playing, if you get depressed playing then you have the wrong idea and mindset.
You're already a winner if you win or lose then have fun and you can log out and say

wow what a game that's exciting

In my opinion, the key to success is to enjoy the game is to make enough bets to have time to get both wins and losses. If a person makes one big bet and wins it, then of course he is happy, but if he loses, he is upset because, in addition to losing money, he did not have time to enjoy the game. In my opinion, doing so is wrong.

[nullama]

I think that if someone is gambling for entertainment purposes only, they would play for a bit and then when they have paid a reasonable amount they would stop.

People gambling their houses and things like are probably not doing it just for entertainment. It's a different thing. It's just addiction, like alcohol, or many other things.

[khaled0111]

Gambling is an entertaining activity and shouldn't be seen as a source of income or as a way to make money because it is not. Some people prefer to spend money on trips, shopping or any other entertaining activity while some other people prefer to spend it on casinos or gambling online. It gives them the same level of satisfaction.
However, if you are going to gamble you need to have a plan and know how much you are willing to spend beforehand and when to quit otherwise what was supposed to be an entertaining activity will become a source of anxiety and frustration when you start losing more money than you have planned.

[naira]

The problem with the gamblers is that there are some of them who wants to gamble because of money and not for entertainment. There are some gamblers who still chooses to gamble even though their chances of winning is very low to close to zero.

Simply put, maybe this is based on the logic of thinking in gambling and entertainment is the same as spending money, right? we go on vacation and look for a place of entertainment and also have to pay for accommodation, transportation, and room rent. Gambling is like that too, incurring a fee to be able to play in any game room you want to play. When both are looking for entertainment advice, nothing is much different from the initial principle that gambling is indeed an alternative entertainment that can be profitable. But if you lose and get nothing, won't you spend money after going on vacation too?

It's the same thing with a different action.

[Lanatsa]

I think that if someone is gambling for entertainment purposes only, they would play for a bit and then when they have paid a reasonable amount they would stop.

People gambling their houses and things like are probably not doing it just for entertainment. It's a different thing. It's just addiction, like alcohol, or many other things.

When you do already get into that point then you would really be finding yourself to be that addicted and not playing for fun anymore and this is something people should really be minding off.

They shouldnt really be making themselves reaching out this point because once the shackles of addiction would tie on you then you would really be hardly able to recover or get away from it.
Gambling should really be for entertainment but as expected where people do really go beyond those limits and borders which do really end up on something like this.

Gamble on the amount which you can afford to lose but each persons control would be an issue if they dont know on when to stop and take profit.

[iv4n]

As long as it's just fun, don't worry! It's for us amateur players, we know how much money we can spend on some fun and we never get into some problems...

There's a difference between gamblers, people who choose lucky-based games, and those who go for games of skill! I don't think we need to comment on lucky-based games, we all know that everything comes down to luck! But when it comes to poker and sports betting some people have nice winning rates! So people who wish for more than just entertainment should go with skill-based games, and it's possible for anyone to learn more and become a successful bettor or poker player one day! But that takes time, energy, and some money for sure!

[nullama]

As long as it's just fun, don't worry! It's for us amateur players, we know how much money we can spend on some fun and we never get into some problems...

Yeah, absolutely.

As long as the money spent is something that makes sense to the gambler, as in, just paying some money for some entertainment, then it's all good.

The main issue appears when people get crazy addicted and cannot stop playing until they don't have more money to spend.

Lots of people end up spending way more money than what they can afford to lose.

[famososMuertos]

They discover the "warm water" in that article.

The focus should always be to have fun, and fortunately the vast majority do, and that is what makes it possible that despite the dark side that exists, from which other areas of entertainment do not escape, or in general of our consumer society, the industry gambling does not to stoping, and then, this continues to grow by the great demand that exists.

By the way, Just as the alcohol drinker is responsible, so is the gambler that bet, just as alcoholics exist, compulsive gamblers do not stop appearing, but regardless of that, the beverage business, bars continue to grow despite the statistics, no it is different with the world of gambling.

[Gozie51]

This adrenalin and endorphins are what feed gamblers to gamble more without logical reason even to the point that they have no chance to win.

Yes it is usually the feeling of winning that brings those factors of adrenaline up. Gambling is always attached with this feeling of getting it right but often times the exercise ends up in futility and that adrenaline keeps pushing for more try. Without such winning feelings I don't think we are going to have such number of gamblers lately because the economy is now hard for daily survival and people have to try many other options.

[aioc]

This is why casinos are the most profitable industry, many people are not playing to win, they all know that there is a house edge and they will eventually lose but based on the study, people are buying entertainment.

They say in gambling, only the casino operators win, and that is the reality so never challenge the casino or dare it you cannot you can win sometimes but never all the time, gambling tackles the psychological mindset of humans they challenge it to try to win and at the same time it gives him pleasure that he will go after, so this is why it's easy to become addicted to gambling.

Even how good we are, even living and spending the whole day in a casino this couldn't increase our chances to defeat the house as at the end of the day, they are proclaimed winners while gamblers are just losers.

[goinmerry]

Too much technical analysis and research. People do gamble, maybe for entertainment, but most want to win. That's the entertainment part of this industry, to win and bag the money in return. I doubt these gamblers will gamble just because their endorphin triggers it.

When a gambler experiences winning a big profit, that will give them the mindset that gambling is an enjoyable activity.

Regardless of your purpose and why you gamble, just always be on yourself and responsible at all times.

make you desperate on playing just to make those beliefs to happen which is really a non recommendable kind of behavior.There are people who do really play gambling for fun and there are people who do really play for money and there are ones who do make both but basing on their perception but if you do play for enjoyment and wont bother on the money spent and
you arent that compromising your funds or financial then i dont see  problems.It is really depending on someones perspective towards gambling activity.

[Pierre 2]

I think this is %100 true. I observe that most people who prefer to gamble are the ones that enjoy the ride. They just love feeling of winning a game, or just winning a money. Game itself is more important money they use to bet on. This is definitely valid for football fans. I think its not invalid for others. People who are playing poker also enjoy it. Its atmosphere is perfect for fun. With bluffs especially. Winning is just creme on top.

[Fundamentals Of]

But take that possibility of winning away and gamblers would probably stop gambling. So it is probably wrong to generalize that gamblers are only buying entertainment. In the first place, a big part of that entertainment is the possibility of winning and making money instead of losing. The possibility of winning is probably the number one reason why gambling is causing players to release adrenalin and endorphins. They're not just playing a game. They're paying for the possibility of winning or losing.

[STT]

I think people are buying opportunity and a dream in many cases.   Its best not to take gambling too seriously because there is bias and a cost to playing the game, its not for free its with high risk you might double or more your money.  Ultimately it is best classed as entertainment with the warnings you may not always like the game result, the main thing is its run as a fair game.

[Peanutswar]

This is the use of gambling to give entertainment to its players and of course just a small earning or profit still some of the player see the opportunity of the gambling as source of income or some of them seek this as a job but again this is a higher risk reward there's no gambling give all of the winnings to their players.

[traderethereum]

This is why casinos are the most profitable industry, many people are not playing to win, they all know that there is a house edge and they will eventually lose but based on the study, people are buying entertainment.

They say in gambling, only the casino operators win, and that is the reality so never challenge the casino or dare it you cannot you can win sometimes but never all the time, gambling tackles the psychological mindset of humans they challenge it to try to win and at the same time it gives him pleasure that he will go after, so this is why it's easy to become addicted to gambling.

We can only use gambling for fun and not think we are trying to win over and over again.
In fact, we will lose more often than we win so maybe we should just enjoy our time gambling and return to the next activity after our gambling time is over.
We must change our mindset of wanting consecutive wins because it is very difficult to get them.
But we can win once in a while especially if luck can come to us.

[dothebeats]

I can relate to the statistic; I'm playing to pass time and to divert my attention somewhere else, and gambling gives me just that. Also, I find gambling inexpensive compared to other hobbies that I had in the past, plus it doesn't require me to do social interactions so that's another +1 in my book. People who disagree about gambling serving as an entertainment are way out of touch as they only see gambling as a means to profit, and not something else.

[jostorres]

Well, different people have different ways of getting entertained and there are some who wants to get entertained thru gambling. Different people have different approach when it comes to gambling. Some see it as an entertainment, some see it as a way for them to make money and some sees gambling as a way to socialize with other people. Though it's a bit expensive if you will ask me, it's their money and life and as long as they are enjoying while gambling then it's ok. As for me, I can be entertained just by playing online games while listening to some background music.

The problem with the gamblers is that there are some of them who wants to gamble because of money and not for entertainment. There are some gamblers who still chooses to gamble even though their chances of winning is very low to close to zero.

The goodness of crypto gambling is that you can make micro transactions because they now support cheap altcoins and also bitcoin lightning network, so no it's not expensive to use gambling as a means to get entertained or to socialize with other people because you can just load your account with tiny amounts or you can just not deposit at all because there are sites which allows you to play freely and also there is no payment needed to use the chat function.

It's okay if someone gambles for the money because that's the only way for them to get entertained but they need to make sure that they still have a control of themselves.

The fact that gambling dominates to loses rather than wins, the main factor because gamblers do not position gambling for entertainment but make it a profitable activity of slot gambling or sports gambling, the impact for them will be to spend all betting capital and include previous profits in gambling due to the influence of greed to double profits. In my opinion, there are 2 solutions to enjoying gambling as entertainment, limiting betting capital and limiting time to gamble, if both can be arranged in gambling it will not affect the management of time and finances.

Although I cannot fully agree with this research.  But it really should be.  People addicted to gambling do not only bring harm to themselves but also bring danger to the whole family if gambling should not be just for entertainment purposes.  Moreover, people are now addicted to gambling and are joining various criminal activities to make money for arranging gamble .

Not at all because seeking out entertainment and playing gambling could neither have both things whether finding leisure while seeking money or just purely seeking out entertainment out of those money had been spent.
We cant really make out conclusions since gambling is free for everybody to get deal with or engage on it and since we do have different mindset and impressions then expect that it would really be on having  that different outcome on every end of the line.On the time you are considering to play gambling then you should mind that you are paying for the entertainment that you do get on playing but people most of the time
do really mind off on how to make profits out of those money that they are gambling on.

The point I got from your post is that it is true that gamblers often use their time in gambling as entertainment to lighten the burden of the mind that is whacking them. but from here maybe the gamblers unknowingly have to buy the fun for them to enjoy. there are several things or patterns that must be applied to minimize losses in games that are played really for entertainment and fun, among others, the pattern I mean is to bet with the smallest bet until you really feel satisfied in betting.

But not a few also change their minds when they start to win some money. The reason for the average gambler is to have fun, but over time that mindset will change and they will gamble to recover losses and win money. About this, if you are a gambler then I am sure you will know what I mean.

Changes in behavior and mindset are more likely to occur if the gambler has have an addiction than not. So it's really hard to continue to have fun at gambling especially after you really feel that you have lost a lot.

well that deviates from the perception of someone who only plays gambling just for entertainment. One has principles that must be maintained and no one should break the strategy pattern at the beginning. for example when you get a positive roi you don't need to double your bet because your goal is just to find entertainment not to chase wins. if someone is competing for victory maybe he has to be prepared in all aspects to be accepted. I think a person tends to get addicted if he plays just for entertainment.

That's one side effect of gambling. When one can't contain it anymore, he will fall into addiction and that will result in doing all of those options that he can choose until he chooses the wrong ones.

Besides, those who gamble are for entertainment purposes and I think that is good for everyone.

Well, we have to take the reality that many do gamble not for entertainment but for the actual reward that everyone has a chance to make, the money.

[qwertyup23]

Many of us here will say that we are gambling for entertainment but this is the same reason why compulsive gamblers put in more money they want to feel high, so if you say I gamble for fun does this mean you admit you are buying entertainment to produce adrenalin and endorphins, so you keep on putting more money to get that feeling regardless if you win or lose.

Actually, people who gamble purely for entertainment is also a problem that most people overlook. Whenever we hear about gambling, we always associate it with the potential profit it may reward a person. Though the risk may be high, but people always look and dream about the amounts of money they would win if they gamble.

What most people fail to realize are the type of gamblers who gamble purely out of entertainment value. These kinds of gamblers have nothing to lose- regardless if they win or lose, what matters to them is to feel the hype and adrenaline due to the feeling of the odds against them.

Though not all can do that and most are probably exceeding from the limits, they lose both time and money and with that, the

after effect is not to enjoy but to feel sorry ones they realized the amount that they've lost during the game. Likewise, if a

gambler can handle both money and time appropriately, the enjoyment can be performed and a gambler can walk away with

a good smile, win or lose, they feel the pleasure that they've desired to have while playing the game.

Just like one of the threads here in the gambling discussion when a gambler loaned $9k and ran away.  His family is left with the pressure of paying his debt.  Aside from that, the place where the family stays is about to get liquidated in order to pay for that person's debt.  Possibly that guys chased his losses and end up with a huge debt.

If gamblers do not position gambling for entertainment but for making money, they will never change and will not notice it.
They will keep depositing more because they think they can make that winning money.
They do not count how much money they have lost from gambling because their only desire is to win that winning money.
Your solution can help people understand that gambling is for entertainment and nothing more so that they don't chase after winning.

I don't think that's entirely true because I believe some gamblers enjoy gambling due to the sheer number of games they can play and they know that it is very difficult to beat the casino.
They will not try hard to beat the casino but just try to spend their free time playing lots of gambling games.
And if they can win, they will think it is a bonus for them and nothing more.
If they are trying to get a winning streak, they must think about how much money they need before luck comes.
This is what many gamblers don't realize and keep trying.

I actuallu agree with what you're saying. Then it's really like that in order to win your gambling, you can say that you are lucky on the day you play gambling. But not all the time you can win in the games because we also know that while we often in our gambling we always lose to the banker of the gambling game. That's the truth there, that's why others really gamble just to entertain themselves whether they lose or win in
the gambling game.

Yes we know that gambling can gives us the chances of making huge money but But it also has the opposite side that can make you destitute at once. And that's why I said it should use as the purpose of the entertainment.
And you mean entertainment is not reality?  If you look at cricket playing football and many other games these are only for the entertainment of people.  And many people live by it.  Gambling is also being played around it.  I do not understand the meaning of your words that gamble should take reality not for entertainment.

[adzino]

Yeah, this is what gambling is all about. It's a form of entertainment that you have to pay to enjoy. You pay for all those adrenaline rush. The more you pay the more you can enjoy. The profits are something like "rewards" for lucky players. One of the most expensive form of entertainment to be honest. Unfortunately, people (like any other things) can get addicted to this entertainment and might end up spending everything on it.

Is there anything that doesn't have to do with buying it in the recent times, even quality relationship this days people are buying it since money has been a major factor in having a healthy and enjoyable relationship, marriage etc. Those who gamble for fun/entertainment already know they're trading their money for those excitement that comes from the bets. There's nothing with that but when it comes a problem is when you get addicted and it makes you lose money.

You should know you limit or set one for yourself that'll guide you into not wasting money that should have been used for something else that'll be more beneficiary to your life since you aren't gambling for the profits. All over the world entertainment are been bought and they do have price tag so when you're gambling for fun (buying entertainment), there should also be a price tag that you won't excess.

[xSkylarx]

This is just the same when gamers are buying games and consoles they want even if they don't get any money from it. Gamblers find the joy in gambling even if they lose money because it is the source of their happiness like they forget the stress or pressure of reality. Gambling provides them the entertainment they can't get anywhere.

And I think this applies to everyone not only to people that likes to gamble. We are willing to pay some amount of money in exchange for a temporary happiness.

This is why casinos are the most profitable industry, many people are not playing to win, they all know that there is a house edge and they will eventually lose but based on the study, people are buying entertainment.

Hope that people really know and looking for entertainment and not because of their greedy attitude.

because if they truly knows about the losses they are waiting in gambling and the entertainment is the main goal then why there are still majority that losses everything than controlling their money and funds?

I also find myself one of those who accepted as greedy one.

The possibility to get addicted is basically equal for both. Those who are gambling for fun and those who are gambling for money has equal chance to get addicted, it depends on how the gambler control themselves. Anyone may think in the beginning that they are going to gamble for fun or for profit but they set their own limit before start. However, it may change during the process while gambling. Emotion may change based on the on going situation in the process and it may change the plan.

It is all about the gambler's responsibility to play because some of the players really want to seek gambling for entertainment and to satisfy themselves and still there some see gambling as an opportunity for earning but this is all about risk only people who have guts to play with the high-risk rewards. The gambling casino just want to give to the players entertainment at the same time is earning but of course, there's no casino that gives all for the bunch of players to win. Always gambling with a plan to prevent getting greedy and losing most of the assets we have.

“ So if you say I gamble for fun does this mean you admit you are buying entertainment to produce adrenalin and endorphins, so you keep on putting more money to get that feeling regardless if you win or lose”.  I would say yes.

You're not the only one that has said that its purpose is just for entertainment which is correct. But we can't also stop those people that have been gambling for their own purpose aside from entertainment and their own satisfaction.

I didn't say that, I've said about the reality is that many do gamble for the purpose of multiplying their money and we all know about that. Just as we know that many do gamble for fun.

Everyone needs thrills and pleasures. Someone has a whole arsenal at home for fishing, someone spends a lot of money on women and alcohol, and someone chooses gambling. There is nothing wrong with that if a gambler doesn't let his emotions get the better of him and doesn't spend money that is meant for his family's life.

Isn't every entertainment something that has an addictive impact, if entertainment is something boring then not many tourist attractions develop. Therefore, if gambling is used as a place of entertainment for them then of course they are addicts, although there will always be many factors when it comes to addiction. But we also can't ignore it about an entertainment, because in cases like this then entertainment is something that can make a person addicted and it's not only about gambling.

What happens is that these kind of studies are very hard to accept just like that because people lie about their intentions, and even if they did not lied it is not as if people have perfect knowledge about themselves.

And a perfect example about this is when you ask a friend about the characteristics they may like on their significant other, you listen to them and then you find out they are dating someone that does not have any of the characteristics they mentioned, so even if people say they wanted to gamble for fun it is possible many were gambling for the potential profits and they are in denial about this.

I think it depends on the spender.  Gambling can be both the most expensive and cheapest sort of entertainment.  A person can enjoy gambling activities for as low as 1 cent or maybe lower than that if they use 1 Satoshi as a bet.  So in a small amount of 10 satoshis, a player can enjoy 10 rounds of betting.  But it can be the most expensive especially when a gambler becomes addicted to it. 

As the OP implies, just like any other entertainment out there, we spend money to have fun just like in gambling, we spend money to bet and have fun.

[chaser15]

This is why casinos are the most profitable industry, many people are not playing to win, they all know that there is a house edge and they will eventually lose but based on the study, people are buying entertainment.

I disagree with this statement. Although people are buying entertainment, they sure want to win. Maybe the study just covered those people who afford to lose a decent amount and have a well-off lifestyle with a stable income. But if we look at the whole, there are more gamblers that are not on that tier that's why even these people say that they are gambling for entertainment, they are just saying it but of course, they want to win.

I don't find any valid reason why we should not push for a win whenever we gamble.

Throwing away money on that just for the sake of entertainment is a foolish thing to do for me.

I gamble to win, not just for entertainment purposes. There are other ways to be entertained, why waste money on gambling if that's only the goal?

But do we really believe that 10 bets on a gambling session would be enough? even you are just new then these numbers wouldnt be enough then how much more for those who are bit addicted on gambling? For sure they would really be betting as much as they could or have funds into their wallet. Its true that it would be totally depending on someones spending since not all would really be that good in terms of control of their finances and we know that each people are different when it comes to this manner.Not only gambling is a form of entertainment but also in other activities
as well but turns out that majority is really considering gambling to be the best option.

There is nothing wrong with that if a gambler doesn't let his emotions get the better of him and doesn't spend money that is meant for his family's life.

If everyone thinks like that and continues to pursue it, they will sink deeper and deeper into gambling without realizing it and trying to stop it. If a person has become addicted just because of the "reward" they want, it will be very difficult to realize it because all he wants is the prize and the win. The entertainment they get from gambling does not have to spend a lot of money but only play moderately and can stop on time. They should not allow their emotions to overwhelm them because the control is still with them and they must be able to master it well.

I gamble to win, not just for entertainment purposes. There are other ways to be entertained, why waste money on gambling if that's only the goal?

There really are people that would say that they're on it for entertainment. And it's like a never-ending statement from everyone who gambles to have fun.
It's true that if they're going to waste their money, they should do it somewhere else. But the thing is that we all have different ways of enjoying our money but it's also true if you're going to gamble, as you know that you'll just lose, you have fun on it as well.

[aioc]

I don't find any valid reason why we should not push for a win whenever we gamble.

Throwing away money on that just for the sake of entertainment is a foolish thing to do for me.

I gamble to win, not just for entertainment purposes. There are other ways to be entertained, why waste money on gambling if that's only the goal?

Yes, we should but we should only take it when the opportunity is presented trying hard to win is not only a big challenge but it will backfire, even casinos stated in their TOS that they are for entertainment only and not a site or place where you can make money, so it should be gambling for entertainment first then make money out of it if we have a chance to win.
But there are people who just want to play for the sake of playing regardless if they win or lose they want the thrill that is why I agree that some people are buying entertainment.

I personally gamble just for fun, and we know very well that the table always wins no matter what. and it would be very hypocritical if I didn't want a big win, everyone who does gambling activities definitely wants to get a big win. despite all that, if someone always aims to win in every gamble, I think he will end up disappointed and will even experience a lot of losses. I changed my mindset in gambling just to have fun and if I was lucky I got prize money from fun things.

I see people who talk about gambling for entertainment as liars, most of them don't want people to see them as gamblers that's why they always use the word entertainment to cover up their gambling activities. Most people who say they gamble for fun and entertainment will use huge funds to gamble and they will never leave the gambling environment yet they are been entertained with their own hard-earned money that is a big lie.

Anyone who wants to be entertained will not solely continue to gamble rounds after rounds rather the person can engage in other activities they don't encourage staking money on, so long as the person who is gambling is staking money to make more money, i see no entertainment or fun it.

I agree with you - what the thrill is all about when you are losing money. The only happy ending is if you get so much money in return. This money matter is a strange game - - people keep running after them - and yet they say - they are living a contented life. .

I don't know why I agree with you. Of course not all is a liar, for some people, he can play for fun, even losing some money. just want to tell about how i losing fun from gambling, When I play dice from faucet and a small amount of money, 100% I do it for fun. However, when I play slots, things are very different. Slot games are no longer for fun purpose (for me), but for people who can't control themselves like me, I don't play for fun, but actually play to win. I couldn't find the fun, instead I felt the urge to play continuously. So addicted and have lost the desire to have fun with sharing a big win. LOL
of course people can think different, this is from my experience

I kinda disagree with your opinion. First of all, I doubt that these players who gamble for fun and entertainment don't want to be seen or acknowledge as gamblers. The first time they've gambled, makes them a gambler already. Also, most of these people who gamble for fun and entertainment purpose are rich and they don't mind losing they're money or they know that they'll be able to recover it even if they lose.

[AicecreaME]

We pay for entertainment, gambling is just too expensive for entertainment when people can chose Netflix to watch movie all day. There is just the urge to gamble and hope to win big and when they lose they still think they are just unlucky and the next day might be lucky.

Although we think the house always win, there is a chance to win and the gambling success stories just hard to ignore.  

I agree.

I don't know why people prefer expensive type of entertainment while most of them are probably not earning that much money, only enough to survive every single day and yet they play gambling relying on luck. I don't know if they can still call it "entertainment" if they aren't happy because they are not winning. I believe they only say that to hide the fact that they are pretty frustrated because they can't make profit on their "entertainment"

Same as me, I usually gamble for the teams I like. It isn't like they could win every team in the CS:GO but sort of the way you want to support them and have fun when watching them goes against other teams. It's like the old days when you go to pubs, there are some games in the place that you can play and have fun with your friends, place a bet to make it more competitive. A way to socialize, for entertainment and not everyone looks at gambling as either win or lose.

From your suggestion and your narrative do you feel that gambling is not fun or entertainment in another Way of making it to be special, from the beginning and the history of gambling it's for funs. I could remember when I'm tender we gamble with fresh raw eggs. We be hitting the egg on the surface of another and any one that crack the one that refused to crack will take your own that broke. So those years we are doing it to entertain ourselves and also catch fun to each other.

[Finestream]

This is why casinos are the most profitable industry, many people are not playing to win, they all know that there is a house edge and they will eventually lose but based on the study, people are buying entertainment.

The first thing to note is that people don’t just gamble for the prospect of winning. Mark Griffiths, a psychologist at Nottingham Trent University who specializes in behavioral addictions points out that gamblers list a wide range of motivations for their habit.

Even when you’re losing while you’re gambling, your body is still producing adrenalin and endorphins – Mark Griffiths, Nottingham Trent University

.

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20160721-the-buzz-that-keeps-people-gambling

This adrenalin and endorphins are what feed gamblers to gamble more without logical reason even to the point that they have no chance to win.

Many of us here will say that we are gambling for entertainment but this is the same reason why compulsive gamblers put in more money they want to feel high, so if you say I gamble for fun does this mean you admit you are buying entertainment to produce adrenalin and endorphins, so you keep on putting more money to get that feeling regardless if you win or lose.

I believe no one gets free entertainment by now, even by watching tv’s at home, you need to pay for wifi or cable subscription so you will be entertained. That’s same with gambling too. You need to deposit first before you can experience the thrill and excitement when gambling. Even if you know that at the end of the day, you will be more a loser than a winner, but still you keep paying because it keeps the interest coming. And before you knew it, gambling leaves you an empty pocket. But for some gamblers, that does not matter as money can still be find and gained, but the experience in gambling will always worth the price and is fulfilling.

That's how they perceive things with gambling and saying that reason. I don't have anything against it because they're also right with it, I mean everyone is right with their own opinions and there's wrong unless when someone says something that's too extremely harmful to themselves or anyone.

Yes, we want to win and that's just what I've seen they say they do it for fun as if they don't intend to win. We all want to enjoy and to win most times but, we know what gambling is and it gives us variety of results and not favorable wins at most times.

[coin-investor]

But people keep trying and we cannot stop them from trying because there is no harm in trying as long as you gamble within your allocation, people are losing because they cannot and will not stop, yes they enjoy but when at the start of gambling you are enjoying and at the same time you are winning and you already double your winning, it's hard to stop when you are not yet fully enjoyed to the fullest so they just continue playing until they lose all their bankroll that includes their winnings.

[stadus]

Yeah, this is what gambling is all about. It's a form of entertainment that you have to pay to enjoy. You pay for all those adrenaline rush. The more you pay the more you can enjoy. The profits are something like "rewards" for lucky players. One of the most expensive form of entertainment to be honest. Unfortunately, people (like any other things) can get addicted to this entertainment and might end up spending everything on it.

The reason for that is because most people are not looking in the same angle where gambling was created for entertainment, you pay for that entertainment you want just like other things but gambling is rather the most expensive thing to be entertained. If that will be the sole purpose of it then I bet these people will be just fine if they are only looking for entertainment but we cannot really deny that there's these other people that is looking the gambling activities as a way to generate income.

I think it depends on the spender.  Gambling can be both the most expensive and cheapest sort of entertainment.  A person can enjoy gambling activities for as low as 1 cent or maybe lower than that if they use 1 Satoshi as a bet.  So in a small amount of 10 satoshis, a player can enjoy 10 rounds of betting.  But it can be the most expensive especially when a gambler becomes addicted to it. 

As the OP implies, just like any other entertainment out there, we spend money to have fun just like in gambling, we spend money to bet and have fun.

Yes, it does. But on most cases, I don't think there are some certain people who are just going to spend 10 satoshis and call it a day afterwards, it's gotta be more than that. You cannot really be entertained in that amount, any gambler or someone who is seeking entertainment knows that. I know what you're trying to say here, and I get it.
I just hope that there will be more and more people who will be more of a casual gambler rather than seeing these activities as a way to generate income because they are really in the wrong place.

[Theones]

We pay for entertainment, gambling is just too expensive for entertainment when people can chose Netflix to watch movie all day.

But in gambling there is chances that you will make some money, leaving the house edge thing apart.
In the other end if you just watch Netflix all day long, then you just don’t do any thing productive.
Yes I agree upto a certain part that gambling has now become a source of entertainment for many rich lads. I mean if they can afford to lose, then they only placing the bets in gambling events. So yes we can say it as a form of entertainment where risk is involved.
Whereas in the other end, a middle class man gamble to fulfil his needs and concentrate less on the entertainment thing.

WE all need to move ourselves to get some extra funds. There should be a mean to get some passive income so that you bear your expenses.
Only one job is not sufficient to run all the expenses

[blockman]

Nobody can stop gamblers that are eager to play and win. Losing is normal in gambling and all gamblers know what they do and there goes the losing that awaits.

yes they enjoy but when at the start of gambling you are enjoying and at the same time you are winning and you already double your winning, it's hard to stop when you are not yet fully enjoyed to the fullest so they just continue playing until they lose all their bankroll that includes their winnings.

It's part of your decision whether to continue or not when you've doubled or you've gained a lot. Because if you don't, you're doing it wrongly and you have to face the consequences.

[romero121]

Very few realise this isn't the place to risk to make money. Most of the time users begin with spending few Satoshi for fun, but the winning will make them go for higher amounts. This gets reflected on the lack of self control. Further the race for recovery takes place. This is where a person turns from gambler to an addicted level.

Actually, this is quite reasonable because this is indeed the nature of humans who always rely on their greed so that when they see gambling it seems like they get an easy profit (although this is just wishful thinking) then they will continue to think that way. even though this is clearly one that violates the basic concepts they must believe in.
It's really difficult to make different beliefs when everything depends on greed because in people's expectations like this only victory and victory regardless of risk.

Liars? Don't expect every gambler to think as you, dude. Not every gambler really has a goal to earn money, some gamblers can focus on getting entertainment and earning money is just a bonus. If you only focus on earning money from gambling, you will get stressed or frustrated. It is very difficult to win in gambling since the chance is rather small. So, don't blame people who want to get entertainment from gambling. Every person who joins gambling may have a different purpose/goal.

I can agree with you here. Because there are some occasional players who just wanted to have fun.
Just like those people who are visiting casinos for experience, they don't want to earn but more on gaining some experience or memories.
But of course, if they will win. That's a bonus already for them. But I can understand, if they are regular gamblers,
most of them are really for the possible winnings that they can get. However, hard to chase winnings in gambling.

[harizen]

This is where a person turns from gambler to an addicted level.

It's not wrong to become addicted as long as these people will stay at being responsible. Even losing lots of money, as long as it won't affect their daily lives at worst, they are free to spend and risks how much money they want. They know how to handle the big loss and that's good.

Didn't you know that professional gamblers are addicted gamblers but still they remain to be professional and even able to make out of a living with gambling?

Gambling is not controlling us, it's ourselves to be blamed if we end up wrecked.

You already said it, there are occasional gamblers that is just wanted to have fun, and the moment they won big, that's already a big fun and they will surely want to experience that feeling many times. Because of that, they will keep on visiting the casinos.

That's the start of their addicted gambling journey and I hope they will be responsible at all times.

i agree with you mate. because not all gamblers consider gambling just to get more money but there are also gamblers who really think this gambling is just to entertain themselves without expecting a win.
like me, i am one of those gamblers who doesn't think about winning or luck when playing gambling. i play gambling just to fill my spare time when i am working or on vacation. so that in my free time i am entertained by this gambling and if i get a win i only consider it a bonus and never withdraw the winning money but i use that money to play gambling the next day.

Gambler comes to casion for money - and just for money.
When they win they say it is an exciting game - and when they lose - they leave silently and go to bed depressed.There is no entertainment in loosing.

This is easy to believe because even among those who play for money there are many players who have never withdrawn money, hahaha.

So far what I have observed from gambling places is that no one puts their money in a gambling place for a long time, all profit results will usually always immediately make a withdrawal to secure the profits that have been obtained, because I think there is a theory that this online gambling place can know the history of all the profits that you have earned so that the possibility of the script can change your pattern to always get a loss so that all the profits you have earned will run out again, it is better when you get a profit then you get out of the gambling place and if you want to enter again then you have to create a new account so that your data is not detected by the system that knows that you have already made a lot of profit from this gambling place.

[agustina2]

What I think is the other way. Gamblers are saving those funds at the gambling site to save fees from deposits. Transaction fees are hurtful nowadays that's why it was a good thing to do compared to always withdrawing the funds.

As long as the site is reputable, there should be no worries.

In my case it's the opposite because i've seen other gamblers willing to leave a small amount like their starting balance or deposit after winning a huge amount. And then there are also gamblers who prefer to pull out their starting balance and then continue to play with their profits. I used to do the same thing back then, i'd play on a new site and play slots if I win i'd immediately withdraw and then move to another casino. Also, creating another account isn't a good suggestion since you're only putting your account at risk as most casinos don't allow you to have more than one account.

People who often gamble always have or keep their money in their account so that they can immediately use the money to play if they want to play. What @agustina2 said is true because they don't need to deposit any more money into their account so it will save time and transaction fees again.

That's why if we don't want to get into trouble keeping money in our account, we have to be smart about choosing the casino site so that nothing bad happens later. And if they get a win while playing gambling, they will withdraw the winning money immediately or maybe they will use it again to play gambling.

I can agree with you here. Because there are some occasional players who just wanted to have fun.
Just like those people who are visiting casinos for experience, they don't want to earn but more on gaining some experience or memories.
But of course, if they will win. That's a bonus already for them. But I can understand, if they are regular gamblers,
most of them are really for the possible winnings that they can get. However, hard to chase winnings in gambling.

If they win, those occasional gamblers will be turned into regular gamblers.

No, they won't, if by "regular gamblers" you mean gambling addicts. Most of them, anyway. Gambling would be forbidden everywhere if it were so harmful. Check out the stats to see that what you are saying is not true. Only 5% of gamblers, max, have some gambling issues. Do you think those 95% who don't, never win?

You already said it, there are occasional gamblers that is just wanted to have fun, and the moment they won big, that's already a big fun and they will surely want to experience that feeling many times. Because of that, they will keep on visiting the casinos. ~

So what? If you enjoy something, you want to try it again and then again. There's nothing wrong with that, with the want. We just have to remember that doing all the time what we want turns us into pigs. Just stay human, that's all.

[Daltonik]

Indeed, when coming to gambling, many have inflated expectations when making a deposit and starting the game you expect to win, so yes, in case of failure there will be disappointment and depression, just to have fun you can play in small amounts, even better when it's free welcome casino tokens.

[carlisle1]

So far what I have observed from gambling places is that no one puts their money in a gambling place for a long time, all profit results will usually always immediately make a withdrawal to secure the profits that have been obtained,

What I think is the other way. Gamblers are saving those funds at the gambling site to save fees from deposits. Transaction fees are hurtful nowadays that's why it was a good thing to do compared to always withdrawing the funds.

As long as the site is reputable, there should be no worries.

There are wise gamblers who take the earnings right away instead of letting the money inside the house and be tempted to playback and lose

it again, while it's also possible that experienced gambler who can control their gambling activities are just storing the money to save for the

fees, some have target amount of winning before withdrawing, aside from the entertainment they are also getting a decent amount of money

from the game that they have some advantage.

[BobK71]

Well, we have to take the reality that many do gamble not for entertainment but for the actual reward that everyone has a chance to make, the money.

Yes we know that gambling can gives us the chances of making huge money but But it also has the opposite side that can make you destitute at once. And that's why I said it should use as the purpose of the entertainment.

Yes, people get two types of benefits for gambling. One is the possibility of earning money and the other is to enjoy the game. Both of the two things come together by gambling for this reason gamblers attractions is much higher. There are many gamblers who gamble for entertainment but also with a desire to make money behind it, and there are many gamblers who gamble just to enjoy the game thoroughly. But those who have become addicted to gambling, they try again and again to get something from here.

[Sirait]

I see people who talk about gambling for entertainment as liars, most of them don't want people to see them as gamblers that's why they always use the word entertainment to cover up their gambling activities. Most people who say they gamble for fun and entertainment will use huge funds to gamble and they will never leave the gambling environment yet they are been entertained with their own hard-earned money that is a big lie.

Liars? Don't expect every gambler to think as you, dude. Not every gambler really has a goal to earn money, some gamblers can focus on getting entertainment and earning money is just a bonus. If you only focus on earning money from gambling, you will get stressed or frustrated. It is very difficult to win in gambling since the chance is rather small. So, don't blame people who want to get entertainment from gambling. Every person who joins gambling may have a different purpose/goal.

This is true, although the average gambler has the goal of making money from gambling, there are also many gamblers out there who gamble only for their entertainment. btw, I once met a poker expert, I saw him every day playing poker, he said playing poker was only to hone his skills and also it was his pleasure not to win the money on the table. His answer made me quite surprised.

In this world, you always find those kinds of people who have some rare motives why they're doing the things they really like to do. some have motivations that you don't seem to hear from someone else. seems like whatever reasons they have, as long as they're enjoying what they're doing, it keeps them steadfast even though the resulting outcome is not pleasing to them. Maybe when the time comes they realized it was really mistaken, they will not hesitate to stop and move to another hobby.

[kamvreto]

~snip~ it keeps them steadfast even though the resulting outcome is not pleasing to them. Maybe when the time comes they realized it was really mistaken, they will not hesitate to stop and move to another hobby.

this is very important, as long as they enjoy it of course it will not be a problem for him, even though many losses are generated after gambling. But most people who play gambling just for fun, they have a lot of problems in the real world and switch them to gambling, economically they can afford and make a lot of money from places other than gambling. Gambling is the right place of entertainment for some people.

GiftedMAN wasn't wrong either but wasn't supposed to be generalized as he put it, in some situation some gamblers are always known to disguised under that umbrella so that people don't view them as gambler especially when they see them as a responsible and public model, you know that some society view gambling as a wayward thing to indulge in, they always find a way to hide under this circumstances.
People are different and our financial status have different tastes, there are some gamblers that truly play to have fun and have a nice time, doing it in the first place is not because of money but when it goes as predicted, that doesn't mean they wouldn't take the money, after all, we all do like money.

Money I think is one of the biggest motivators during our century that we are living in.People you will find do all sort of nasty sh*t for money or women as these two are the biggest "things" that make the world goes around as they say.The ego of different persons to have more money or more women has brought destruction to families and even to countries some times like the Russian war which is for the ego of one crazy man.The same for gambling,most say that they start for entertainment purposes only but you will see soon that they become hooked and even worse sometimes addicted.

Likewise many people start smoking in fun - but then they can't leave it.
Same is the case with gambling and alcohal - many people start it as a fun and pass time activity and they are hooked to it like crazy.

[Zlantann]

Apart from online gambling, I can partially agree that people gamble to buy entertainment. Sometimes that gambling environment can motivate one to keep gambling. The music, lightening, women, and the general environment sometimes is very entertaining that you just want to come back again. Staying in such setting can trigger the production of much adrenaline that gives the gambler that high feelings. Online gambling might not have such effect like the offline casinos. There are people that are addicted to the gambling environment and not necessarily the gambling act or games.

If you feel you can't manage your finances yet, you should start learning from now on, especially if the money is going to be used for gambling. This is to avoid using most of the money you have improperly, which can lead to disruption of money management for other things.

Financial and risk management is essential in gambling. If you don't know how to properly allocate your funds and if you don't know when to continue or stop playing, then most probably you'll end up losing and go bankrupt.

Someone must first master discipline before diving into gambling since gambling addiction is no joke.

Money management skills are often disregarded and not taken seriously by people but in fact the ability to manage your money responsibly is probably one of the most important skills that you can have, and it is not really difficult to understand why this is the case, we know that money is power and if you are not using your money responsibly then you are wasting your power, and instead if you use it in a way that maximizes its potential then the benefits that you can obtain out of your money are going to be many times higher than what other people can obtain from the same amount of money.

A huge number of people do not have financial literacy so they are irresponsible with their money. They just don't understand that money is not just for spending - money can work for you and bring you profit. When a person understands this, he takes his money more seriously and invests most of it to increase his capital.

[Docnaster]

What the psychologist said in Op is very correct. Gambling to some people is a kind of entertainment and it is this entertainment that leads to addiction in gamblers. If gambling is strictly for financial gain, the gamblers who loses everything would have done some appraisals at some point and understood that they are lossing and not gaining and then stop. But because of the entertainment and addiction part of it, they would never appriase, even if they do, they can't quit.

Logically and practically right, if you know how to use and manage your money, the chance is high for you to sustain your power, and with that premise, you can easily obtain entertainment. If you have good and organized money management, the time that you can last inside the gambling casino is more longer and the enjoyment is much better.

Remember, experienced gamblers are not just playing, but they both looking for money and entertaining themselves.

Having the right mindset before gambling is a must because there's no guarantee that we could win all the time. Aiming to win might only lead to greed which causes too many losses in the end. Enjoy gambling and feel entertained but always know your limit. We can enjoy playing while being responsible at the same time. There's nothing wrong in hoping to be rich through it but we should also be mindful of gambling's risks.

sometimes we as gamblers experience disturbances where we can't control ourselves to stay afloat by saving the money we have because we have been affected by gambling places, the nominal money used to gamble will not be felt and may feel a lot when you try to recap all the money you've ever had. you use to gamble.

After the match I will be happier if the bet goes in my favour, otherwise I won't be sad. But assuming I didn't bet, I might end up not watching the football match because of lack of interest.

Money making does only fits out for those gambling owners itself since they are the ones who do make money in the end of the day and not for the gamblers who had been playing on the platform thats why its important

that people should really be that mindful about these stuffs or in speaking with reality with gambling.It is indeed for entertainment and leisure but turns out that people do really ending up on going
on chasing profits or money or winnings and that what makes them addicted.

Gambling businesses would much prefer on having these type of gamblers since they do know that  they could really make money out from it.
Its sad but this is just the reality of gambling world.

But then majority treat gambling as way of making money or wanted to make big money instantly. However, the opposite always happened. The more they lose, the more they badly want to win it back.

Let it run naturally, so that the online and offline gambling industry remains independent and provides income for the country through taxes

Yes, literally gambling can't be used for the main job because not everyone has high luck because sometimes they get a very large amount of loss, they are the developers of gambling places like that at the beginning they must have wasted a very large amount of money and when they get a lot of users they will change the script which can make some users always lose so that the capital from the developer can come back again and make a profit.

It is unfortunate however that many gamblers are into it without self-discipline and self-restraint. This is probably the reason why there are a significant number of gamblers who lost control, became addicted, and who even brought their entire wealth and even their lives down the drain.

But this seems a very human tendency. Many of us are like this in many aspects of our lives. For example we also go drinking too much even if we're drained of the energy to even go home.

[gunhell16]

We pay for entertainment, gambling is just too expensive for entertainment when people can chose Netflix to watch movie all day. There is just the urge to gamble and hope to win big and when they lose they still think they are just unlucky and the next day might be lucky.

Although we think the house always win, there is a chance to win and the gambling success stories just hard to ignore.  

In other words, there are actually gamblers whose thought is "I'm unlucky today, but tomorrow I might get lucky" that's what you want to punch and point to, right? On the other hand, if we look at and understand what OP is saying, it seems true that some of the gamblers think that for them it is just a hobby or entertainment with a fee attached to have the opportunity to win and grow their money.

I see some people set targets in gambling. They will be like before this month ends, they will make $5k. This is a bad habit because gambling is not a kind of business that you will improve promotion and make more money. It is the gambling owners that need to set targets and meet them when the increase promo or improve strategy. The more we don't put our bills on gambling the better for us. It is not good to rent a house and hope to renew it with gambling money.

In my opinion, before engaging in entertainment that requires spending money, a person must become as financially independent as possible - have a good job with a stable salary, have their own house/apartment and car. Only after that can he afford to spend part of his income (1-3%) on entertainment. In my opinion this approach is more rational than living in a rented house and spending money on gambling or other entertainment. 

[Daltonik]

Of course, everyone who bought entertainment does not consider this money lost, because he got what he wanted, but as for gambling, it seems to me that there is also an internal motivation of the player to expect a win, and that's when these two factors eventually coincide, then yes, the person gets what he wanted. Well, in case of loss, you can always say that I play for fun and here the main thing is in the real perception of the outcome of the bet you made.

[michellee]

They should have realized that it is better to never try to play gambling even if it only uses small money because the consequences will be bad for them.

nope , you are wrong , they can still gamble but first learn the consequences and what would be the good and bad before entering .

At least, if they can realize it, they will not gamble anymore because they already know the consequences of gambling so they can avoid the bad consequences of gambling. Especially if they have been gambling for some time.

But unfortunately, even though people have realized it in the middle of their time playing gambling, they still continue to gamble and even some of them deposit other money to continue gambling. People do not realize the consequences of what they will get from gambling so they cannot realize that one day, gambling can have bad consequences for them.

[vennali]

Many of us here will say that we are gambling for entertainment but this is the same reason why compulsive gamblers put in more money they want to feel high, so if you say I gamble for fun does this mean you admit you are buying entertainment to produce adrenalin and endorphins, so you keep on putting more money to get that feeling regardless if you win or lose.

I do gamble for entertainment. I bet on matches that I watch so that it gives an added incentive and drama to it. Makes the wins a lot more sweeter and the losses a lot more bitter. I'm sure there are a lot of people here who do the same. Always follow the golden rule of gambling. Gamble only with what you can afford to lose. So, I generally don't care about the profits as much as others but it sure is nice to win though .

[Boristhecat]

This is easy to believe because even among those who play for money there are many players who have never withdrawn money, hahaha. But at the same time, they continue to play allegedly in order to earn money and deny that they are addicted to gambling. I act like you (I use the money I win for the next game), but if suddenly I win a really big amount, I will withdraw it.

So far what I have observed from gambling places is that no one puts their money in a gambling place for a long time, all profit results will usually always immediately make a withdrawal to secure the profits that have been obtained, because I think there is a theory that this online gambling place can know the history of all the profits that you have earned so that the possibility of the script can change your pattern to always get a loss so that all the profits you have earned will run out again, it is better when you get a profit then you get out of the gambling place and if you want to enter again then you have to create a new account so that your data is not detected by the system that knows that you have already made a lot of profit from this gambling place.

Wow! I heard of such a superstition, but did not think that it had such far-reaching consequences. In my opinion, the casino will never use such scripts because it does not play against individual players, but against the entire population of players, and the fact that an individual player is in the black does not mean anything - the main thing is that all players in total be in the red. And if each player is driven into a minus, then it will scare away all the players. While the presence of lucky players is good advertising and attracts new players.

I don't think online casinos will risk their licence taken away for doing that kind of stuff. They already earn a lot of money by just doing normal casino business.

It's just another one of those things that some gamblers like to think, but it's just not true. Like for example that if there has been a few blacks in a row, then a red is "due" next. There's just no such thing.

[ethereumhunter]

actually ? they MUST be entertained because it is losing what awaits us in this  field so best to check your  funds and time and of course try not to be disappointed when you gamble.
remember that gambling designed for happiness and not for richness .
we are just making it complicated when we desire to win.

Gambling is a part of the entertainment that can provide pleasure for us but not for those who lose in gambling because they will be disappointed when they lose. If you are aware of it, you will not try to gamble just to buy pleasure because you will be able to find other things to get pleasure in living life. We don't have to gamble just to get entertainment; we can even get entertainment by spending no money. This will be how we can find it.

Gambling is more for entertainment than money making. I remember when. I was actively betting on soccer. Most weekends I wouldn't feel like betting, but to get motivated to watch the match and to remain excited during the match. I will purposely sacrifice some money to bet on the football match. After the match I will be happier if the bet goes in my favour, otherwise I won't be sad. But assuming I didn't bet, I might end up not watching the football match because of lack of interest.

If so, it won't have any effect on you because I see, you don't intend to make money from gambling. You already know that gambling is just for entertainment and nothing more and yes, that is what we have to do with gambling. If more people were like you, maybe we wouldn't see too many people who would be sad because they gamble just for fun and not to make money.

This is what makes gambling so interesting, it can add a lot of fun to something that you already enjoy, after all most of us enjoy watching our favorite sport and root for our favorite team but when you add gambling that is when things get really interesting, because now it's not only about your particular preferences about which team happens to win, now it's a lot more personal because now money is involved.

This makes defeats way harsher but it also makes victory way more sweet, so gambling adds a whole dimension to the games you like watch making them a lot more interesting in the process.

People should be having this kind of treatment or way on believing on what gambling is all about.It do adds the thrill but majority of people do really tolerate their greed once they are winning where they

are already forgetting the true essence on why they do make out some bets or do involved real money on which it is for the sake of fun but turns out that some people do make it as a living instead.

Play for fun and dont go into a certain extent that you are already risking out your finances just for you to play or indulge that leisure that you are seeking into.
It isnt really just right nor really that worth for you to do so.Only spend on the amounts which you can afford to lose and dont go beyond your limit.

Playing for fun doesn't make sense. If you want to play fun, there's another way without risking your money.

We gambled to expect money in return. That's more fun, right?

If you guys will just keep gambling for fun, you don't realize how much money you are losing now to make you fun.

Only spend on the amounts which you can afford to lose and dont go beyond your limit.

It's not easy to do. There are no exact figures about the amount we afford to lose. If we set a $100 bankroll and lose it, there's always a high chance that we will another money on our bankroll to continue our gambling session.

Be responsible enough to stop. That's the only solution not to go beyond our limit.

[OgNasty]

This is why casinos are the most profitable industry, many people are not playing to win, they all know that there is a house edge and they will eventually lose but based on the study, people are buying entertainment.

Of course people are paying for entertainment.  I vast majority of the people gambling must realize the odds are stacked against them.  They do it because the idea of maybe hitting it rich and having the best night ever is worth paying for.  Sure, most people don't have that experience, but if you keep playing long enough eventually you'll get a decent win worth celebrating.  The rush of maybe having today be the day you get the win of your life is too much for some to resist.  They get addicted to chasing that rush.  Like an athlete changing teams hoping to celebrate another championship.  

[tabas]

Be responsible enough to stop. That's the only solution not to go beyond our limit.

The sad truth when it's about stopping, those that are enjoying would be hard to do it and the same goes for those that are winning and as well as losing.
They've got the same effects because we claim to be enjoying and as we're winning, we think that we're not gonna stop winning and making more money. And the same goes for those that have been losing because there's a need to chase those losses and that's why you're unlikely to stop.

[Smartvirus]

Am not a big fan of watching the games I gamble on (that counts for the sportsbook) but in the few times I do, I result in a more controversial way of placing the bets and most times, its about me opposing the team I support and that's in the event where the odds are more than evident that its going to be a tough game or my team happens to be the contesting side. In a way, I buy the entertainment by so do because either way it turns, I come back happy. My team loses I win my bet, if they win, I happen to loose my bet but then, still be happy with my team to have won the match. Its more of a fun thing and doing this, you play with spare cash!

Couldnt agree more on what you have pointed above which is definitely true and yes there are lots or type of forms for you to entertain yourself not only limited on gambling but also with other physical

activities like sports or something correlated into but doesnt really fit out for all people because there are ones who doesnt really like to stress out their body or using up that much thats why they do
go in simple things like gambling where  they do get some fun while having the chance on winning but of course the risk of your finances is there.If you do accept such risk then go ahead but
if you cant really just afford to lose some bucks for you to entertain yourself then better avoid. Self control and discipline on the time you should be stopping is a must or a very
must need kind of behavior of someone should have.

The first thing to note is that people don’t just gamble for the prospect of winning. Mark Griffiths, a psychologist at Nottingham Trent University who specializes in behavioral addictions points out that gamblers list a wide range of motivations for their habit.

Even when you’re losing while you’re gambling, your body is still producing adrenalin and endorphins – Mark Griffiths, Nottingham Trent University

This adrenalin and endorphins are what feed gamblers to gamble more without logical reason even to the point that they have no chance to win.

Many of us here will say that we are gambling for entertainment but this is the same reason why compulsive gamblers put in more money they want to feel high, so if you say I gamble for fun does this mean you admit you are buying entertainment to produce adrenalin and endorphins, so you keep on putting more money to get that feeling regardless if you win or lose.

Who does not love a bit of risk in their life? I know that I definitely do!

I think that bit of risk is really needed in one's life. It really toughens your skin for when you have to survive non-gambling financial crashes. If you can call that a good thing  

Its always been entertainment. People who take it too seriously need to be brought back to the ground because they start believing their own BS about making a worthwhile career out of gambling games.

[alegotardo]

~snip~

I agree with the result of this study you published, and I add....

Even people who gamble just for entertainment wouldn't play at casinos as much if their prize was something fictitious or any other reward other than real money.
Because the excitement, adrenaline and expectations would be much smaller and that would make the game less interesting.

Casinos are magical entertainment, but they need to be enjoyed in moderation and wisdom.

[chaser15]

Its always been entertainment. People who take it too seriously need to be brought back to the ground because they start believing their own BS about making a worthwhile career out of gambling games.

It's better to BS on our career out of gambling instead of making it just pure entertainment.

That pure entertainment was only applicable to those gamblers who afford to lose big in gambling. They still have lots of money left after we lose.

We don't need to be like them and also treat gambling as entertainment. Don't be deceived by that and also have the same approach in gambling for sure you are also hurt when you are losing. Is that the meaning of entertainment to you? Admit it, you also wants to win at any cost that's why for us average gamblers, we should never treat gambling for fun but do our best to win at any coast

[uneng]

Depending on the gambler and how involved he is with the game it's not easy, but if he doesn't achieve playing only with what he can afford to lose, he is the only one who is going to suffer the consequences for not putting more effort in controlling himself and managing his bakroll properly.

The amount you can afford losing should be a small percentage of your total assets or a percentage of your monthly/weekly income that won't cause any major negative impacts in your life, in case of loss. Moreover, it must be an amount of money you can recover later, without sacrificing your financial life completely (bankruptcy).

By following basic management and self control rules it's possible to gamble responsibly, having entertainment without headaches on long run.

I think you misunderstood me. Of course everyone wants to make a career out of gambling. Why? because gambling is fun. Especially when you win. Not so fun when you lose but thats not the point.

ALL gambling is purely based on luck. One long stroke of bad luck and you lose everything. There is no business plan, no structure and no planned profit. If you lose your money, you can go to work, but you cannot gamble anymore if you don't have the money. So if your funds ever reach 0, you become unable to keep going. So how would it be possible to make a career out of it? Go ahead and please explain, maybe there is a way that I don't know of yet.

Also, who I meant by "people who take gambling too seriously" are the people who have money issues not people with gambling issues. Obviously you should take gambling seriously, as long as that seriousness does not become obsession.

[Wakate]

Why will I risky loses because I think I am gambling for fun. Well there are notable people who just gamble not for the money initially but for the fun they get in it and along side they do make good amount of money along side with there  pleasurable gambling. Big figures do that often and in some cases they can lose huge fund along side but sometimes they do make profits that will be kept on record and also make many gamblers to panick and out more efforts in gambling activities.

the people you mean are people who have made a lot of profit when they are not working, money is still coming to them, while most people with low salaries are still trying their luck at gambling places, while we all know that gambling places are not fully profitable, sometimes they can get a loss. and of course everything must be done patiently and without any panic or pressure because it can disturb the gambler's psychology.

[Oshosondy]

the people you mean are people who have made a lot of profit when they are not working, money is still coming to them, while most people with low salaries are still trying their luck at gambling places

It has been noticed that the average category of people that have money to gamble are gambling than the rich people. That is the fact, but there are many average people too that do not gamble, some are gambling but not gambling for much profit, the little they earn they are okay with it and if they do not make profit, they do not still go beyond their weekly gambling budget.

while we all know that gambling places are not fully profitable, sometimes they can get a loss.

Loss is inevitable in gambling, the reason we should reduce the frequency of gambling and to reduce to money we are gambling with. If a gambler is not addicted, patient and gamble for fun, he will make profit than lose, but gambling should not even be about that, it should be about losing and not thinking or feel depressed about the lost money because the punter should be able to afford to lose the money used to gamble.

and of course everything must be done patiently and without any panic or pressure because it can disturb the gambler's psychology.

That is true, patience is very important in gambling, without patience, there will be more money loss.

What I've noticed is, most of the people who is in average financial status gambles for entertainment and profit. Those who gambles more frequently is either lazy to get a job and only wants enjoyment and profit or being addicted.
I can compare them to these poor people here in my region that gambled in the neighborhood playing cards and mahjong.
They gamble coz they are too lazy to do day jobs that they only want profit and enjoyment, but we all know that is not always the case. And that also explains why they remain poor.

[Betwrong]

~ There are really people just ignore how much money they have as long as they satisfied themselves playing gambling, we know how gambling gives a good satisfaction and entertainment to the player that's the reason why in some point gambling is for the rich because they can really waste their money because they have a lot of assets to sustain this kind of hobby and there are some people already addicted in gambling but hard to invest with their assets to make more money to grow.

Since you can place any bets, not just high ones, the notion that "gambling is for the rich" can't be correct. Rich person can gamble with tens of thousands and poor can gamble with just a few bucks, and the thrill for both of them is the same. In fact poor people gamble more than rich ones, according to statistics. But, of course, the amounts they spend are incomparable.

I really do not see any fun in gambling,the only fun that can come is when one wins a big money that will elevate his stutue maybe from broke to rich.It is good to gamble,but it is not good to be addicted to gambling,and the question comes.How can one be one involved in gambling,and won't be addicted to gambling? the question may be hard to answer,but it it is open to everyone to give his or her own answer to it.

From the experience I have playing continuously it still won't give me any benefits, even though winning is no longer a top priority but when I lose too often then I start to feel tired. Because I personally cannot ignore that entertainment and fun in gambling can be obtained when we get more wins and not losses. But maybe, the way they gamble is the same as buying entertainment, it may have a different way, because if they play with friends even through online gambling, it's still fun. But if it is only done alone for a long time, then the feeling of tiredness and boredom will still be a feeling that cannot be eliminated.

That's right. Myself was saying to stop when there's no money left in my pocket for that and so the point is ourselves. It's about how we can stop to take the drug and so if we able to control it, we will be also able controlling our emotion. Seeing gambling as entertaint was not true at all caused by some people are eyeing gambling as a way to doubling their money instantly. There was so many cases when people are using this way as alternative way to doubled their money instantly. Investing in the instrument asset takes some time to make it happen but if you're lucky enough and this can be a way to give you instant money. The reality if people are seeing gambling from the various perspective that will create different opinion about that.

There are many aspects that affects the gambling principle of each gamblers, there are some who find it as entertainment while there are serious gamblers who see this venue as opportunities to win and earn, but everything always depends from your perspective as gambler, if you are okay in losing but you have been entertained you can treat it as payment for that enjoyment.

But if you are hoping to earn and double your money, it can be the start of your adrenaline to keep wanting to win and the next thing to happen is unknown, possible to get addicted or you can be a good gamer with good discipline.

I think it's just that, superstition. As far as I know every casino, online or offline, is tightly regulated, and the software has to pass certain certifications and checks so that they can prove the probabilities to win or lose for the player.

I don't think online casinos will risk their licence taken away for doing that kind of stuff. They already earn a lot of money by just doing normal casino business.

It's just another one of those things that some gamblers like to think, but it's just not true. Like for example that if there has been a few blacks in a row, then a red is "due" next. There's just no such thing.

Provably fair was created literally for this reason. It was on dice and we do not have provably fair games all the time anymore, casino world literally pushed tens of thousands of games all at once to make sure that we play those games because when you had 10 games with provably fair and 10k games without it, you start to gamble there as well.

In the end, provably fair would have solved 90% of all the problems. The fact that we are still playing games with just software backed and nothing more, shows the proof that we are not going to end up with anything substantial at all. So, maybe we should get back to basics, that would allow us to get a lot better.

If you know it to yourself that you are not good in handling your finances, then it's much better to rethink about entering and playing gambling. Gambling requires self-discipline and restraint and if someone doesn't possess those, the results could very much equate to chaos because of losses. Financial and risk management is essential in gambling. If you don't know how to properly allocate your funds and if you don't know when to continue or stop playing, then most probably you'll end up losing and go bankrupt.

Someone must first master discipline before diving into gambling since gambling addiction is no joke.

Many of us can easily handle or manage our finances but the moment we try gambling, things then change. This happens to me as well, that is why I let my wife handle my finances for a while. She also plays gambling but that was rare and I know that she has a strong control of herself whenever she gambles. When we are gambling it's best to set up a timer and when that timer runs out, that should be an indication that we should stop now and it does not matter if we are winning or losing.

I saw many professional gamblers are doing this strategy on their streams. I think that is to prevent their selves from getting addicted in the game.

Gambling is for both winning and buying entertainment but it is limited because the rate of losing is higher the the rate of winning.
    Most gambling are games we understand and know very well, so because of this we feel we are experts in them.This motivates us into involving cash into the game believing we must win.
   Now imagine when you are entertaining yourself and you still get paid for it meaning you win.You will feel more excited this is what keeps you gambling forgetting there is a house edge.

Yeah, that's part of the techniques used by casinos to keep gamblers playing as long as possible.

The longer you gamble, the closer you get to the mathematics behind it all that say that the casino will win in the end.

Every time the gambler wins something, he wants to stay a bit more. If it was only losing, less people would stay.

This should be expected since the major product is entertainment, winning is just an extra package if we happen to be lucky.

I don't think it is because I am feeling expert that I involve cash,  remember we are buying entertainment, that directly involved cash in the first place.

  Now imagine when you are entertaining yourself and you still get paid for it meaning you win.You will feel more excited this is what keeps you gambling forgetting there is a house edge.

It would feel great of course.  Imagine, we are just playing games to entertain ourselves then we got lucky and get 1000x of our spent money?  That would feel great.

Why will I risky loses because I think I am gambling for fun. Well there are notable people who just gamble not for the money initially but for the fun they get in it and along side they do make good amount of money along side with there pleasurable gambling.

Do understand that money isn't a problem for some people. While you worship money and always want to earn it. There are individual would enjoy wasting the money because the have it in excess and don't value it. This individual hardly have fun as those around them tend to fake it so it's usually them seeking for satisfaction in other activities which gambling is always be their favorite as it produced a chemical that bring excitement.

Gambling produce dopamine which is responsible for bringing excitement and some individual get this from both winning or losing their bet as such they tend to turn to gambling as a means of entertainment instead of actually engaging in other activities that regular individual do to bring about excitement like watching of sports etc.

From the experience I have playing continuously it still won't give me any benefits, even though winning is no longer a top priority but when I lose too often then I start to feel tired. Because I personally cannot ignore that entertainment and fun in gambling can be obtained when we get more wins and not losses. But maybe, the way they gamble is the same as buying entertainment, it may have a different way, because if they play with friends even through online gambling, it's still fun. But if it is only done alone for a long time, then the feeling of tiredness and boredom will still be a feeling that cannot be eliminated.

When I was gambling alone, it was not fun or entertainment for me, it even become something of addiction for me, gambling alone is not fun at all, I can even just stop gambling if gambling alone. The only time I gambled alone that I can remember after when I have stopped gambling alone are gambling on important matches like UCL and this hapoen if I am not having the time to watch the match with my friends. We can be up to five in just a bar having fun with gambling, using just little amount of money. The best thing I like with friends is the advice we can give one another not to use high amount of money to gamble.

Yes, money is distributed very unevenly among people in the world. 

There are no people 5 meters tall.  However, there are people who own $5 billion.... 

For some people, making big money is not a problem.  At the same time, every person (even a person who is very rich) wants to experience a wide range of different emotions.  People need emotions.

Gambling gives people the opportunity to experience very strong emotions. 

Therefore, many are willing to spend big money on gambling.

Name one rich person who lost everything in gambling from the self made millionaires of nowadays by working very hard and also having a lot of luck.Yes probably no one and that is the truth.I know a lot of people though who become rich through state lotteries and massive jackpots won at the big Las Vegas casinos and 99% of such people lost it all again because they had a big problem with money management,they had never thought that they would need to manage such huge amount of money.

Differently the self made millionaires through working hard and having luck they know that gambling is designed against them and they the very rich people of our time don't lose money in gambling like those who were not prepared mentally to handle such amounts.So it is not always the case that people will spend big money on gambling.

I really like gambling it truly entertains me x) indeed, I often lose some money, but it's not so important to me. I like the feeling of risk and it's cool to guess whether I will win now or not, whether the round will be successful or not. I don't bet large sums, but luck has been kind to me lately, so maybe soon I will play big...

Well, that's the thing with gambling, it only takes one big loss for you to basically be financially ruined. If you enjoy it just for fun, it might be better to keep the betting amount low, because that way you can afford more games.

Problems begin when a person does not have a lot of money, but he wants to play because he already has an addiction. The desire to realize their needs is very often tied to financial opportunities. There are people who take yourself a hundred dollars at evening, and just go to the casino to spend it, then it's just like entertainment. Although personally for me it's a big money. But when a person goes purposefully to win, and loses his money, then he tries to win back and loses everything, then this is already a big problem.

I can only congratulate you for being able to get lucky and being able to get the winning money. But I hope you can think twice before you decide to play big because your luck isn't necessarily with you anymore. And if you really want to keep using big money to bet, don't bet too big if you can't afford to lose that money. Hopefully, you can win big again in the next round of gambling games so that the money you collect from gambling can be even bigger.
