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

[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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
