What are the motives that drive you to gamble?

[Pandu Geddon]

As far as i know gambling has been existing right from the creation of the man, no one can or may either eliminate gambling from the history of man. In fact Man himself is a gambler.

what you say is a real fact. Gambling has been around for a very long time. every person in life is very close to gambling. not only in the online world but now in the real world everyone is gambling a lot. we will never know how to get rid of it.
everyone has a different experience of how they can become a gambler. some came from friends, some were based on their curiosity about gambling. whoever has entered, it is quite difficult for us to get out of gambling. although some might work.

Gambling is now a way to earn money and most people are beginning to take betting as a means of income, those with good skills in odds calculation and accumulation are constantly winning and making profits from their activities but then not every day is a lucky day, some days there may not make any profit in fact there may even incur loses.

Tell me any skilled gambler who is constantly able to win the bets or gambling games? I guess the answer will be no one, as gambling does not grantee you any income, it is just a game of luck. You cannot be dependent on gambling to earn you a living. Yeah, sometimes you can win jack pots and change your life with gambling but that does not happen with everyone.

Majority of the people will lose in gambling. The best way to go about it is to gamble with extra money and you should have some other reliable source of earning.

Agreed, no matter how many strategies you applied, you cannot succeed if your luck is not on your side. I have also never seen anyone who has made anything big with money from gambling. However, hitting the jackpot is a different matter. Gambling is just a good platform to spend some time with excitement. It will not give any income to anyone. Relying on it financially is nothing but complete folly. Gambling is for those who have a good means of making money or you we can say good earning source.

This is not true and I humbly urge you to stop spreading such misconceptions. No one should look at gambling as a reliable source of income even if some people make a lot of money from it. If they did it's because they were lucky nothing more. Being skilled may give you a small advantage but won't let you win all the time.
A minor or a new gambler may get mislead by your statement and lose his money by gambling more than he can afford to lose.

[Desmong]

Thank you mate and yes , I am allocating small amount to gamble at least just a peanut from my daily earning meaning it won't even hurt my if lose everything from my gambling budget.

The gambling is for fun and if we are lucky we can get profits out of our bet but we should always be in our limits and you are doing exactly the same like putting aside just normal amount which you can afford to loose while gambling.We should always have our budget and enjoy in our overlooking the big bets in gambling and reliving the stress while we gamble.

Everyone should have equal opportunity to win money but ski is also need and the level of risk we are able to take. Mosy gamers that do win big amount in gambling are those that do take bigger risks because the huge amount they put with the slightest luck could make them to make better profits compared to some other things.

There are really some dumb people who do spread out wrong things which do give misconceptions specially into newbies which it is really that mind boggling on how they do really treat up some condition
or telling that gambling is one of the main source of income or rather this guy is talking up some shit which is something that we should ignore on.When it comes to motivation or things that do really
contribute into your interest on doing gambling and this is the main reason on why people is driven out to gambling or having that interest which is common sense.
It is really just they do really differ on how they do treat gambling whether its for fun and entertaining or making money which is really that a wrong thing.

I agree, gambling should not be looked as a reliable source of income but the thing is some people looked at it that way.  We cannot deny the fact that people in desperation to have a source of income is now turning to gamble as means to earn money from winnings.  Some are successful but the majority lose money instead.  Aside from that gambling industries like casino and sportsbooks earn from hosting gambling.  So we cannot deny the fact that gambling is indeed one way to earn money from casinos and from bookmakers' point of view at least.

[btc78]

this combination is what we must have here because at least if we lose? we know how to accept as the fun is worth as payment .

though sometimes it is frustrating but with enjoyment ? i think we will have both reaction , if we win? then we can take all the happiness and the money .

Play  with good motive , not just to earn  .

And if they can't accept losing, they shouldn't approach gambling and look for other things that can give pleasure. This will help them not to suffer defeat which ends in losing some money, as many of us have. But if they can accept that defeat, they can return to gambling whenever they want and of course, they must really be able to avoid big losses. The motive for playing gambling should only be to have fun and not to earn money because getting money from gambling is not easy and only a few people can.

that's it , if you are not ready to accept the fact that gambling is only a place to enjoy and not to truly earn money then you should not gamble at all.
the place is for those who wanted to seek for total happiness and winning is just a bonus , this is what gambling is all about , once in a million chances to become rich but there is million ways to enjoy and be happy.

your logic is correct. but those who have become addicted to gambling, find it difficult to change their minds to just have fun gambling. what they seek is the ambition of victory. although most people will find out that they come to the casino and gamble just for fun and burn their money.

not everyone always loses at gambling, that's what makes some people think gambling is a decent place to quickly double our money. It doesn't matter how many times you lose, the important thing is that you have tasted victory. and it gives an addictive effect.

it is indeed mate, best to just not expect winning and if does? then treat that as Bonuses for us , I have seen this happening many times so why look for complete winning when we can at least have fun while trying to check our luck?
gambling is risky and this must not be our way of living.

It shouldn't really be looked and treated as reliable source of income because clearly, it isn't. While you can earn from gambling, it isn't a sustainable income generator. You could be lucky at some other days, but it isn't the case everyday. There will really be times that you will experience losses, and it's totally normal. This is because of course, gambling is risking, there's always a specific percentage of winning and losing. It's just a matter of using the right skills, knowledge, and having the odds side on you all at the same time.

People look at gambling as an easy way to generate money, but it isn't especially if you are still a newbie. You have a lot to learn - the do's and don'ts. Having the right perception also helps in someone's gambling journey. Correcting the myths and the "people told me that" mindset after verification and clarification based on facts will play a significant role in someone's drive to gamble. It is one way to have additional source of income, but is is risky since it is not stable and your earnings would vary depending on the season, your skillset, and luck overall.

[Crypt0Gore]

If you see gambling as a means of making money you will keep losing because you will keep going back to try your luck, I like gambling too but I play with less money and enjoy the game, I never have the mind of playing to win but I play to only have some fun so my betting skills is always on the minimum amount.

And to test their luck in playing gambling. But some people are curious about what it's like to play gambling, so that makes them finally join the gambling site. And usually, some beginners who play gambling can win more than the old members. But after that, they will suffer defeats and slowly, the losses will get bigger and without them realizing it, the amount of money they have used will also get bigger.

Yes, I've seen someone who had a story as this, i think this is one of the biggest deception of gambling which many, most especially, newbies often fail to realize, and this is one of the easiest ways gamblers get addicted to gambling even without realizing it.

Have seen someone who one his first day of trying out gambling, won over $3000 with a wager of just about $60, $3000 is a lot of money in my country's local currency, worth over 1.5 million, this guy have never seen or touched that type of money before, so to win such an amount of money on his first day of gambling, it got into his head, he thought that, that was how the winnings would continue, he quit his job, moved into a bigger apartment, upgraded his lifestyle and the focus only on gambling, in about six months down the line, the whole money was gone, and winnings were not forth coming as it should to keep up with present lifestyle, he later left my area with no body knowing he's whereabout till date .
 

[mak013]

I even can`t understand how is it - to be addicted. It is the same as to watch football match of your favorite team. You can cry, you can be impressed or disappointed but tomorrow you go to the work and don`t think that you have to visit next match anyway. I just relax and pay for it. But not all money i have - just as i plan.

I read somewhere that gambling addiction is when someone feels like they cannot stop themselves from gambling, even when they know it is causing problems for themselves and those around them. It is a type of mental health issue where a person has trouble controlling their impulses. I think that people who have this addiction may feel a rush of pleasure when they gamble, and they may continue to gamble despite the negative consequences it is having on their lives. They might also feel anxious or depressed when they aren't gambling, and they might go to great lengths to get money for gambling. When they feel better while they are gambling, they may continue to do it even though their lives are falling apart because of it.

I think that they no any other way to relax. If someone has just one way to become happy - he continue to gamble without any limits. As for me - it is awful, but the most awful thing that these gamblers think that it is normally. The other gamblers think that they can make the gambling the main income and it is possible, but there are 100 losers for 1 gambler. Due to such gamblers we see restrictions for gambling in different countries.

I think your statement is still not quite right, because there are still many gamblers who really rely on gambling as a place where they can make a profit.
But not all gamblers can do it, only those who have more money and intelligence in gambling.
I myself have met poker gamblers several times who are indeed experts in the game of poker, even in almost every game he wins and the percentage loses only slightly.
If you gamble or bet just as a means of fun I salute you for still being able to limit the amount you bet and not get really crazy about gambling.

We have to understand this kind of decision whereby a gambler solely depends his living from earnings from gambling, such gamblers aren't new in gambling, they understand very well every possible mean they can source out money from with gambling, here they don't have to gambles even at all times, they may be employed under a gambling company to work for them and got paid, they may have one or two services or predictions they aid in other to make money, while some even went ahead advertising for them to get paid, as long as you make some earnings through gambling for a living isn't a bad decision provided you know all possible means to make a living from your decision.

Yes of course. many gamblers make a living by gambling and also many people who love to gamble and they choose gambling and playing cards as their profession, and they are successful, and they make money.
but they are very different from ordinary gamblers, and by the way they gamble, they can control the game, not the game controlling them. And also they will stop when they are in a winning position, not keep playing because they know it's a trap that will make them lose.

It is indeed , if you look for winning then surely you'll keep chasing losses after you lose so your idea is correct better to play using less money meaning there must be allocated funds in every gambling session with this you'll lose lesser than what most gambler does.
though I think it is not literal word not minding playing to win because all of us does but we are accepting the fact that we mostly lose on those.

Whatever resources it is as long as you are making money then so be it, I see your point that there are gamblers who can make money with gambling those are people who are not new to this business, they are doing it for money and they really good in finding the right way to earn and enjoy while involve with any kind of gambling.

Though whatever may be the reason or whatever drives them to gamble, it is a personal decision which also brings them a big
risk when it comes to addictions.
