What are the motives that drive you to gamble?

[EarnOnVictor]

when you will go to gamble for fun then you will also loss your money. so you must accept this risk and go for gamble. if you can afford that loss then you will able to enjoy gambling as fun. but if it hard you when you loss then you will not bale to enjoy gambling as fun. This will make you more angry and you will try to recover your losses thus slowly getting addicted to gambling and at some point you will be in big danger.  So gambling should be done with caution

This is what some people do not want to accept because they gamble with more money and they think gambling is not good if losing money, but if very little amount is lost, gambling would be enjoyable. Using high amount of money will only lead to bad experience while gambling, while playing too much is also leading to losses. Assuming you collect $1000 weekly as an example for salary, will losing $10 to $20 affect? I do not think so. Anyone that is not expecting loss should not gamble at all. There are winning too, but loss chance is more.

Who went to gamble with huge amount it means he is a actual gambler and he went to gamble for make money . but who want fun he-she must gamble with less money like $10-$50. because no one want to loss his huge money only for fun.

Well said. Those that would want money from gambling would definitely be risking more money and are such that are desperate because they would be doing it as if their lives depends on it. But those that are catching their cruise and having fun with gambling like me will be careful and only use a ridiculously low amount of money for it.

Even the $50 limit is too high for me, my average is $15, but it might be regular if I am bored and lose it often. But I have never lost more than $30 a day gambling.

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 not addicted to gambling, I only gamble whenever am stressed and I want to relax my self, also whenever am bored or alone, just to keep myself busy that's why I do gamble. I gamble with just little amount so that even if I lose the amount it won't really affect me, that's why even when am winning in gambling, I don't really win huge amount because I just gamble with little money and I don't really make my expectation very high.

Some people will be addicted to gambling but they won't still know they are addicted, they will think they just gamble for fun, but they can't stop gambling, some of them are just after money and whenever you tell them they are addicted, they will disagree with you.

[ven7net]

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.

Personally, I do not have an addiction to gambling, as I treat it as an opportunity to earn additional income. Based on this approach, I control my involvement in the game. However, I know people who are really addicted and play until they lose all their money. Therefore, I chose my strategy and use it. Of course, in order to succeed in the casino you need to have a strategy, but there are also people who play just for fun. For example, one of my friends went to the opening of a casino and made bets there just to try for the first time how it works. He told me that his goal was not to win, but simply to experience for the first time what it was like to bet with real money.

[BobK71]

On a normal circumstances when I gamble, I really do not see it as a profit making goal alone. However, I  see it as fun to do, meeting with people, making new friends, and also getting more experienced in gambling because there are always new things being learnt everyday and this gives me the satisfaction I derive when engaging in gambling activities. It is not about winning a raffle draw , spin or stake it is all about your mindset. Although not everybody reason as I do but that is my own perspective on me getting or gambling. It feels good to get that calm nerves when gambling

I have an addiction to gambling but I am not an addict. I often lose in gambling but still I like to gamble. The difference between me and an addicted gambler is that I can take a break from gambling whenever I want, but it is extremely difficult for an addicted gambler to do so. Gambling is really fun but it has to be done that way. Most gamblers have an incentive to use it as a special source of income, which is a big mistake. As a result, they have to lose their money in gambling with in short of time.

You are very near to become gambling addictive. The reason is that every gambler who is addict will never say that he is addicted to gambling.
Also i understand you take break from gambling when ever you want but believe me sooner or later you will forget to take the break as you gamble more often.

The motive for me and everyone who gamble is to make money but unfortunately most of us are not able to make this money.

I used to have an addiction on gambling. But a year ago, when the market crashed, the value of my assets became low. So I invested half of my assets in gambling and didn't make much. So I kept on going and it became an addiction. Then in order to make more, I blindly put whatever was left on my gambling account to gamble. I lost all and was left with only $25 in my account.
After realizing my mistake, I have controlled my self from gambling and haven't joined any from then. Maybe in the future, but for now I am out.

[Dunamisx]

The influence of friends in gambling is also a strong motivating force behind many gamblers that exist today because they wouldn't have been so without the role of their friends who could have triggered them to starting from somewhere, the reality is that gamblers will always want to influence each other because of the passion they have for gambling and their eagerness in seeing their friends also gambling together with them, our gambling friends encourages us sometimes we feel like not gambling and from there we got the motivation and thier ideas and suggestions sometimes also help in gambling right and winning especially if they were more experienced than us.

though i am not a gambling addict, i do not also treat this as possible means of earning income. maybe because i only play if i have extra. if i win, i treat it as a bonus of my gambling experience. these days am not playing heavily as compared before. maybe, times are changing and so with my priorities. but definitely, if i play, i also want to win but there's no expectations anymore. as i only allot a certain amount, if i did spend that amount and still no winnings, i stop.

This is actually what makes gambling a funny activity. It's the sensations and feelings you get while you play whether you lose or win, happy or frustrated.. However, frustration should be temporary and don't last for long otherwise gambling won't be funny anymore and you may start making bad decisions like trying to chase losses.

Somehow I never found this gambling funny. I've always been serious about gambling, but of course I've also had a lot of fun. Frustration and chasing losses are bad for those who gamble responsibly, but both feelings are always there for those who are addicted.

Oh wait, I'm an addict too and sometimes I get upset over losing but it seems like that feeling only lasts for a few minutes before I do anything else.

I don't know if what I'm experiencing is an addiction or not. but I gamble not every day. but at least I bet a few days a week.

I have gambled at online casinos before getting to know casino crypto. Introduced by a friend but ended up enjoying the game. it's been a long time since I stopped playing, but when I got to know casino crypto it was like something new for me. but I have experience in playing.

[pawel7777]

Hmm my first experience with gambling (taking lotteries and bets between friends aside) was sports betting. I placed some small wager on a combination bet for a few football matches (or for Americans - soccer) and it made watching the game waaay more exciting. So that was my introduction to gambling. I wasn't particularly interested in online casinos type games until I joined this forum and started to experiment with crypto-casinos as there were plenty of promotional offers back in the days and it was actually easy to make a profit.

I never felt addicted to gambling nor ever felt that I can't take control of it. I made some bigger losses, which hurt a bit for a while, but never lost more than I could afford to lose.

Right now I'm just limiting myself to occasional small bets, playing a bit of poker from time to time and taking advantage of good value events bets if an opportunity comes along.

I think it's a good idea to keep your gambling funds separate from other funds, i.e. in a separate account, sub-account, or just as a deposit to your trusted platform(s) + having a cap of say a certain amount from your monthly pay and keeping an iron discipline. And of course, don't allow yourself to get too emotionally engaged, you should be able to just shrug any losses off if they happen. Trying to desperately "win it back" is a recipe for disaster.

Having a gambling friend is own of the factors that do make people to consider taking a move on gambling because they see there friend doing that and making money which so look like they themselves can make money too from gambling. Friends is one of the major factors that can influence people to gamble more because they have a person that do motivate them.

If we've understood about gambling in the right way we'll console ourselves not to get upset or frustrated on losing. When I was new to gambling I've cried for days with the doors locked. Those are days when my mind had a thought we'll win out of gambling and the loss wasn't acceptable. Slowly I understood the reality and got adopted to the situation.

Frustration and all those regrets after making bad decision things that we can't avoid while playing or gambling on whatever types of gambling we take, proper handling of the situation is a good key for your acceptance, when you lose you need to move forward and not to dwell with that situation, it will worsen the situation if you will keep dwelling as aggression will rise inside you and you will try to keep chasing and in the end you will realize that you just lost more because of trying to win back those amount.

While if you know how to move forward and re-assess your mistake, your chance to enjoy and win is better on your next try.

More on weighting, either you are on the money side or you are just killing time when playing/gambling.

Actually, the frustration mostly comes depending on the amount that you've lost. As for me, things were fun and all whether I win or not but after a while, I keep winning and accumulating more funds and got greedy which made me end up losing all of it and that's where frustration and other negative feeling comes on. However, after I got out of the addiction that gambling brought me, I was able to avoid these scenarios.

Actually that's frustrating scenario and I bet that's not fun anymore especially when your starting to lose all your winnings then chasing back again hoping to win the same amount for another round. These scenarios should be corrected since this is not healthy anymore and we should gamble according to our game plan set together with the amount we only intended to use to avoid getting mistakes and get angry with the result.

Sorry, but where's the fun if you don't feel mad/sad when you lose or happy when you win? It's good and even necessary to be able to control your emotions when gambling but not to the point not to feel anything.
Sometimes, when I hit a long losing streak, I get mad and unconsciously start cursing and yelling, few moments later I start laughing on myself and on how I reacted.

Yes, because naturally nobody loves to lose money, but moreover, that's where the beauty of gambling comes into play, that is, being able to control our emotions at every moment whether winning or losing, as those are the only two possible outcomes that can always come out of every gambling event. Which is why it's always good to take a calculated risk.

[btc78]

We know that most gamblers rely on luck to win big money. Money is the main motive of all gamblers. Others gamble so they can share with others if they get lucky, while others just want to have fun and relieve stress, but sometimes it causes more problems, especially if you run out of money just because of gambling.

sharing luck with others? i never saw something like this because luck will only come to you and lucky if your playing with the team but you cannot literally share this mate.

For me, I gamble to add something to my savings using my extra money,  we know that the longer we play, the more we will lose. So if we win, we can go out to be safe, but if we lose, it doesn't hurt too much.😁

that is what we must do , taking your funds out once you win already and never play longer because that is what we  will lose in chasing more wins while we already  having good wins.

I don't see any fun when I am mad when I am losing big or after I have lost all my money during a gambling session.However I have won two consecutive weeks in my last two consecutive sessions and the feeling of being very happy it was a feeling I really love.That is because no one has fun when he is losing money while everybody is happy when he is winning money and even happier when he is winning big.

If you after some moments of yelling and cursing starts to laugh then you have some personal problems,you cannot pass from a state to another state in such a short time.
