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

[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.

~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.

People are gambling because they want money - money is itself a big risky thing.
It turns people crazy - and it is the most loved and most wild thing in the world.

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.

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.

That is good - if the gambler keep their money separate but a person like me who is very bad in money management might loose all the saving in one go.
Money matter and things don't go as they plan too - So I am not sure if people keep a cushion of that leak as well.

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. And if you have started to be able to manage your money, you will not find it difficult to manage the money you want to use for gambling.

Or if we are to be straightforward in this regard, I would say that if you don't have the capacity to manage your finances you better not be involved in gambling. In gambling, your poor money management might translate into losing everything. Or if you don't have this money management skills but you still want to gamble, then avoid online casinos. Stick to land-based casinos and don't bring cards. Bring only the little amount you are willing to lose. But again I recommend more on avoiding gambling.

This is a good advice. 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.

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.

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.

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.

people are addicted to cigarettes or drinks because they are fused with their blood and mind, while gambling is not fused with blood, it only affects the mind...

money is the pleasure of many people so money is the biggest reason people play gambling but the pleasure of gambling is the number 2 reason people play, it can be said that the reason everyone plays gambling is "uncertain".

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.
