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

[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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
