What are the motives that drive you to gamble?

[klidex]

There are also opportunities that I  am motivated when seeing with friends , I mean when some of my friends are asking to gamble together?
then Yes they motivates me and gamble more as we are losing all.

and sometimes It is My Wife that motivates me when she is giving me extra funds to risk in gamble as she Knew that sometimes I have this luck and may bring us both Winning 

Your story is the same as mine, who at first just watched, but over time a curiosity arose that he wanted to try gambling until now he has become a gambling enthusiast.
The beginning of the gambling game that I did was playing cards face to face with some of my friends. Within a few months I got to know and started studying lottery bets so I really liked gambling and over time I started to enter and gamble on online casino sites until now.

However, from your statement, there is one thing that surprises me, that is, your wife actually allows and supports you to keep betting or playing and provides capital husband to bet.

What about you guys? Do you have any addiction to gambling? What drives you to gamble? Is it the long shot of having a big profit coming in or is gambling simply a way of spending time for you?

I am grateful that I do not experience an addiction to gambling, and gamble only because I want to get rid of boredom or because I am tempted when I see attractive promotions offered by casinos, especially when there are major sporting events or big events such as Easter, Christmas and New Years where the casino will offers lots of interesting and tempting offers.
Profit is certainly very desirable but often it is precisely what leads us to lose so much so spending time is one of the reasons.

I think friends can motivate us to play gambling, but we still have to be able to take care of ourselves as long as we play gambling and are responsible for our money. We cannot allow ourselves to have fun with friends while we are almost out of money at the gambling table and we should be the ones who have to remind our friends not to suffer too many losses.

You can really be lucky to have a wife who motivates you to gamble because not many people with wives will do the same to their husbands. Most wives will be angry and sad to see their husbands go gambling or use their own money to play gambling.

It's only for entertainment purpose for me and have not addiction or motive behind to gamble.When I feel like playing I wager on my favourite slots with a hope to win some amount and if lucky you can hit high multipliers also.But if you say about motives like making fortune out of it or changing your financial status winning really big amounts as we have imagined then it's not working for me and have it for fun and strees bursting keeping my limits.

Nothing, other than; risks, money and mastering my instincts. Getting Addicted to gambling makes me cautious and to follow my instincts while playing games. It's always fun to win some bucks out of a spare cash kept aside for gambling. And slightly sad to lose out the money, and developing a wavering mind or regretting, which is always too late, over other better, beneficial activities the lost money would have gone into. So, my brain after experiencing such mind debates, knowing that I may win or lose money, Keeps going back to cash gambling after winning big on demo gambling. Especially. Additionally Gambling cools off my stress and helps me make a better decision on some real life activities that requires a gamble of thoughts or decision, what to do or not. I'd say that the positive aspect of gambling draws me closer to risk some money, as I learn out of it and always cautious not to delve into the negative repercussions of Gambling.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Gambling is just something fun that my two friends (Daouda & Koffi) make me do each time I am around them. For me alone, I am not too into sports, so when it comes to gambling, I even find it difficult to note some terms, let alone knowing how they work. 

My girlfriend always says that she will keep malice with me if she finds out any day I gamble, so even when I am out to have fun with my two guys, I don't let her know I am out with them. But anytime I see myself gambling, which is only when I am around them, they help me out and it's always fun, we lose and we win.

Lol, assuming what you say is true, your case is exceptional.

Yes, it's usually the other way around. 

As they say, behind every successful man is a woman - and in my case, that woman is my better half who I believe brings me luck when gambling. I've tried to convince her to come to the casino with me on numerous occasions, but she tends to be a bit more practical when it comes to spending money. I guess that's just one of the many differences between the sexes - men are typically more willing to take risks, while women tend to be more pragmatic.

It was opposite of us, lol. Well, I am the only one working, and she is caring for our child, but I always give her money on a monthly basis so that she can gamble (she has other budgets for her needs, so gambling is separate). Well, she only won once this year, and it was not that big, but she is happy whether she loses or wins. But I am a practical person at times, I would suggest to her sometimes that she should use her gambling budget this month to buy clothes; but mostly she doesn't do it. On the other hand I do have a really strict gambling budget, and I also rarely play—mostly once every two months if I have funds, and sometimes I skip to spend it on others.

Well, it sounds like you are a supportive partner who takes care of your family's financial needs and tries to be practical about your spouse's gambling habits. I think it's important to respect your spouse's autonomy and their right to make their own decisions, it's also understandable that you might have concerns about the money being spent on gambling. It is important to have open and honest communication with your spouse, as well as finding a balance that works for both of you.

I do not know about you guys, but I gamble because I like it and because it is a hobby as well as an addiction. I'm good with myself, as I already admitted to having an addiction but tried to find and apply techniques to avoid getting off track and spending all of my money on gambling. It's quite easy for me to control my gambling anxiety as I already follow strict rules that help me stay on the line.


What about you guys? Do you have any addiction to gambling? What drives you to gamble? Is it the long shot of having a big profit coming in or is gambling simply a way of spending time for you?

It's good to know that you have complete control on your gambling habits. Talking about me I am not addicted to gambling.
I gamble whenever I feel like gambling. Most especially when I have the leisure time to gamble.
Work is my priority and gambling is a way of entertainment for me. It releases stress and excites me.
The reason is because I place small bets which I can afford to lose. I don't gamble big.

[Xinarae*]

Gamblers generally prefer to play for entertainment since they come with the chance to win real money, many players who risk bonuses for online casinos are lucky. It's pretty clear that a lower wagering requirement improves your chances of withdrawing your winnings the best part is that you can play them in your jammies sitting on your couch or bed.

[Shamm]

We have different reasons why we gamble or what the reason for our first gamble is. But for me even though I am not a big whale but I start gambling as a teenager, why I involve in gambling it because I'll love to play and make money as well if I Have my luck. But the main reason is I am very happy when I am going to gamble this is my stress relief which can make me relax and forget my problems in a short period.

Gambling can be a source of entertainment for many people, and online casinos are a great way to enjoy this pastime from the comfort of your home. However, if you're not careful, and if you don't know how to gamble responsibly, it can also be easy to get caught up in the thrill of gambling and lose track of your budget. Many people don’t realize that there are also some serious dangers associated with gambling online.

It's important to note that the outcome of any gambling activity is ultimately determined by chance and there is no guarantee of winning. That's why it is also important to remember that gambling should never be seen as a way to make money and should always be treated as a form of entertainment. If you notice yourself spending more than you can afford on online gambling, then it might be time to take a break from playing altogether. If it stops being fun, then it's time to stop playing.

My motives are having fun that usually convert into greed   I dobnt know why, but I am obsessed with round numbers. I can deposit some crypto to have some fun, but it always ends with for example “I have 89 bucks, why not make it 100” and I usually bust my balance. I think many of you have faced similar. As if you dont want to gamble, but somehow 50 or 100 bucks looks more attractive then your current balance

Gambling is really addicting. It's hard stop actually. But always try to keep yourself reminded that you should be discipline. Set boundaries. Do whatever method that can help you not to be too attached from playing. Gambling can take away your not just your money, but also your other time for other things that you also must give attention. Because of that, gamble in moderation. If you lose, it's normal to be affected, but before you play, make sure that you are well aware and you accept what and how much you can possibly lose.

Yep, apart from making you lose a lot of money, gambling can be extremmely time consuming and this will make you forget other more important things such as spending time with your family as well as time to rest. Additionally, the stress of losing a lot of money that you cannot afford to lose can also drive you mad and increase the chances of mental illness.

[Shinpako09]

Isn't it always because of money that's why gamblers is playing? It's the only main reason that I can think of. Others says they are seeking some fun but for me that is just an excuse base on my personal experience. Gambling will only be fun if you're on winning side. Never enjoyed even a bit whenever i'm getting red in any kind of casino games.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

Oh mate, i understand how high risk virtual games are and this have lead many gamblers bankruptcy, yes i can bet on football matches like on world cup matches and premiere league games.

For me, I mostly gamble on sportbetting, and live matches or virtual games to be precise, while taking advantage of the fluatuating constant change of odds since it is a live playing game, just for entertainment and fun, while giving it a chance looking forward to seeing of I could double some cash. Moreover, I always set aside a specific amount of money which I gamble with whenever I intend gambling, while staying conscious ensuring not gamble beyond what I could afford not to miss, as gambling is strictly a game of pure luck

Yes, I strongly understand how risky gambling virtual soccer games could be, and how it could make a careless & greedy user go bankrupt in the slightest seconds, but in my case, what I do is that I always try to gamble what I can always afford to lose if my game don't go as planned. However, I have this strategy which I used, that is, if Chel vs Man city is to play a match, what is do is bet on the team with the highest odd first, and then when the game start playing, I monitor the odds, ensuring to bet on each team at it's highest odds as it fluatuate.

Well, I think it depend much on the kind of mood you are when gambling, I do gamble for fun most times and it doesn't matter whether I lose money or not, as long as I am enjoying the game I am playing.
I think the only area i can say for sure that I do gamble for profit most of the time is in the area of sports betting, and this also happens to be where I've encountered several rekts to my finances.

And do understand that gambling for fun does not mean one is not interested in the money, if this was it, I would put the game in demo mood and just play  .
But what I do understand by gambling for fun is that, you gamble with hopes of making some profit, but if the profit doesnt come, it's not an issue, on like gambling for profit, and when it doesn't come, the gambler breaks down in regret.

That's the real meaning of gambling for fun, it is when we can enjoy the game and we can accept loses at the same time.
It is bullshit if there is someone who gamble 100% for fun only without thinking about making profit.
Gambling is designed for people to risk their money for taking the chance to make profit but it is also designed as entertainment tool.
