Gambling For Fun - What Does This Mean To You?

[Kasabus]

Here Is What Gambling For Fun Mean To Me
To me, gambling for fun simply means - gambling, with hopes of making profit, but with the consciousness that if the profit does not come, I choose not to react negatively to the loss, or allow the loss way me down or make me feel bad, I just focus/put/fix my mind on the fun I had playing the game rather than focus or fix my mind on the money I lost.

Well, that's gambling for you and I understand if that's how you view gambling activities because I have a lot of friends that actually has the very same reasons as you do, and as for them, "why'd you go and playing gamble without a getting some profits on your mind?" which is true because somehow you won't actually go on a gambling game if you don't have any intentions to win and you're just there to waste it.

But for me, I view gambling differently because as for me, gambling is one of the most expensive form of entertainment and when I gamble, I don't do it for money because my aim is to get entertained forget the outside world for a bit and to blow off some steam especially if I'm too stressed. In that way, I won't be having a heavy heart once I get some losses along the way because that's not what I'm aiming for and if I win, I view it as a bonus only.

So over to you now, what does gambling for fun mean to you as a gambler,?

Like you have said in some part of your post. The fun in gambling is just that you have zero off your mind to waste the money and you won't express regret that the money staked out didn't bring profit. But such money that you want to use will be money that you can afford but that doesn't mean people don't stake out their last money at a time. The greedy people do that. They want to regain all loses at same time.

This is the worst part of too much having fun, you are being carried away and you tend to gamble more without realizing that you are already losing a lot of money. I gamble to have fun as well but I have my limitation so I believe everyone should have a limit as well because too much gambling is not ok and its not about fun anymore probably you are hoping for more.

Gambling for fun for me is indulging oneself to gambling activity without the intention of extending the effect of the session to the next session.  It is gambling having fun and profit is secondary.  It is engaging in an activity that is open to losses and never chase it.  It is an activity that focuses on having fun despite of the profit presents.  It is more like spending our time to have entertainment instead of having a boring moments.  The thrill of winnings sure triggers extra fun but gambling for fun doesn't necessary means aiming for profit.  It is more on testing luck than reaping rewards.

I don't have that kind of mindset. It's not fun losing money even how small it is.

As much as possible, I'm trying my best to at least try keeping my winning streak as always. I know that losing always happened in most cases and since that's always the possible outcome, I don't want to take my gambling activity as fun but rather to always apply a serious approach.

I always read that context on those people that not actually doing gambling so much but the question is, do they really have fun when losing money even if they afford to lose that amount? I really doubt it.

[JuanS2099]

Quite simply, gambling for fun is Gambling no matter where or how, no matter win, lose, or draw that the odds are fair, the debts are settled and all parties involved are honest and put their money where their mouth is.

Well, I believe that playing just for fun is somewhat relative, because each person can interpret this expression differently.

But overall, I also agree with what you said.
Sometimes some people are betting/gambling just to play, not having a great ambition to earn a lot of money with it, other people just betting just to pass the time.

[harizen]

I already said this many times before here, I don't consider my gambling activity as "just" for fun. People think that losing money on gambling is just fine because their argument will be, they are just having fun. They don't realize that those loss amounts in total, in the long run, are now getting bigger and bigger, and still, it's still fun. There's no fun in losing money.

Isn't it even more fun if we will able to maintain our consistency in winning?

We risk money on gambling to expect winnings and not just to have fun. But I respect their views if they really see gambling that way.

usually they have fun with their deposit bonus or use the bonus in their account so for them it's okay to have fun gambling with the bonus results, because they won't lose that much money, for me it also doesn't look like a problem if you have to lose because it's just bonus money...

Then I suppose you only gamble in games in which your skill can be a factor and you can either counter the house edge to some extent, as it is the case in sports bets, or you play games where the house edge does not exist, as it is the case in poker, even if when it comes to poker there is a rake which you need to pay on each pot you happen to win.

Otherwise it will be impossible to avoid losing money over the long term, since sooner or later you will end up losing money against the casino due to the house edge.

So over to you now, what does gambling for fun mean to you as a gambler,? As I know that this phrase might mean different things for different people, would like to know what your understanding is on this.

Gambling for fun to me means gambling because that's what make you feel fun, you don't care if you win or lose but you'll be more happier if you win because who doesn't like free money. When you want to do any activity that make you have fun, you can turn to gambling and doing this isn't any bad at all but you just have to be careful so you don't get addicted and keep losing all your money yet still continue gambling.

While you gamble for fun, you have to understand that you're using real money for this activity and be extra careful of not exceeding your gamble more and driving Into family funds as that's what leave many family into financial crisis.

For me it's not testing my luck, it's more like giving me the drive to watch the whole game (mostly sports). It helps me to analyze the game on every corner of it which enhances my bet for the next time they will play.
Without my bet, there's entertainment only and the fun part is not maximized to the extent that I would be cheering like crazy alone in my room. 
Losing is not fun, that's true, but being able to forget it and not chasing losses is a skill. Restraint. There are gamblers who are being dragged by that kind of emotion and get rekt. They become a fool being clouded by their loss and input bets they don't know about.

correctly. because even when gambling expects a win it is very impossible and gamblers who already know this concept they tend to just have fun while gambling and when they get a win I'm sure they won't issue the winnings but use it to gamble the next day again.
and gambling is about betting on luck and sometimes gamblers will always be curious about their own luck so they focus on seeing luck not big wins.

Of course people will have fun with the bonus they get because it's not using their money but a gift from the casino. But if they can have fun gambling and decide when to stop gambling, so much better for them. Those who are like that are not after profits or have the desire to make a lot of money and want to spend their time playing gambling. They also don't think about recovering previous losses because they know it won't be easy for them. They should use their free time to gamble as usual than think about winning gambling games.

[Leviathan.007]

I personally think that the phrase "gambling for fun" is widely misunderstood by many gamblers.
They think gambling for fun means gambling without any interest or hunger for profit, no body enjoys loosing money, and this in the other way simply means, loosing money is never fun, but how we choose to react is what makes the difference...
I wil tell you all what gambling for fun means to me personally..

Here Is What Gambling For Fun Mean To Me
To me, gambling for fun simply means - gambling, with hopes of making profit, but with the consciousness that if the profit does not come, I choose not to react negatively to the loss, or allow the loss way me down or make me feel bad, I just focus/put/fix my mind on the fun I had playing the game rather than focus or fix my mind on the money I lost.

If gambling for fun means gambling without any need or hope of making profit, why throw away or waste my money then? I would just put the game in a demo mood and play - I believe a lot of casinos have this feature.
But like I explained above, gambling for fun for me is not gambling with no interest in making profit, in gambling for fun, I hope to make profit, but I just consciously don't make the profit a priority, this means that if at the end of the game, I make a profit, i am happy, because I hoped for it, but if I don't make profit, I am not sad, I am not unhappy, because it wasn't a priority, and for me not to feel sad, I get my mind off the money lost and focus on the fun I had playing the game - Being happy is a choice, I hope we all know this.

So over to you now, what does gambling for fun mean to you as a gambler,? As I know that this phrase might mean different things for different people, would like to know what your understanding is on this.

I think gambling can have two sides because some people will only play and gamble for fun they even play while putting in no money or will place small bets because the game and not playing for the money, while some other people will enter the gambling world and play the games while their goal is to earn money and they sometimes even don't enjoy the game itself.

[mvdheuvel1983]

For people who are very competitive, gambling is never for fun.
It is either they win or win. Before you know it, pour all their emotions into it.
When they lose, their day is ruined. They become passive aggressive and will most likely transfer that aggression. I just feel that not everyone has the capacity to gamble for fun.

[Tigerheart3026]

i am totally agree with you. i am started gambling as a fun purposes like as my first deposit was 10$ in 3 years before.
btw interesting thing i made it 80$ by gradually,
after that i am too attracted and i take it seriously,
then i never feel gambling can be just for fun to me, bcoz here you need to spend money from ur own pocket, bcoz if i lose then it’s will affect to me.

[piebeyb]

I think my version of gambling for fun is like playing with my friends, so if you lose it doesn't matter not because I have a lot of money but again I'm not a big gambler, usually I only bet small bets and it takes a long time to play in casinos like dice rolls, sometimes I play dice rolls with small bets just to have fun accompanying me while watching football and also betting on football   

[serjent05]

But, it's not gonna be fun when your start lossing right?
Gambling was only fun, when you're competitively winning. Lossing will give you frustrations most of the time.

yeah, sure it can be frustrating if you keep losing but this kind of reaction will depend on every person. I am not gonna lie and say I don't feel frustrated if I lose continuously but that doesn't mean the overall experience is not fun.

Over the course of playing gambling especially when you are playing slots, there will be times when you feel frustrated because of the event when the reel is obviously going to bonus round then all of a sudden, it won't or when you end up needing 1 more point to trigger a bonus round but failed because the wild thrown on the reels was placed on the area where it will not trigger a connection.

We can't deny the fact that, we're also aiming for the profit and that's the part of "having fun" in gambling.

or how you outplayed the opponent or how they outplayed you. I should have mentioned that I usually gamble with card games.

It is really fun to experience outwitting our opponent in a card game.  More fun when we have a bad card but win due to our opponent take the bluff.

Though, there are instances where a person consider gambling as pure fun and doesn't care much about the money, but those people are crazy rich individuals.

or they gamble money which does not really bother them because they can afford to lose it especially if it is just a small amount of.

Even rich people aim to win in gambling.

Absolutely true, the behavior of a gambler should have towards gambling when it is considered as fun may be different from that when the gambler takes it seriously. When a gambler loses, he or she will focus on that loss and want to gamble more with the goal of getting it back which would have no way of being considered as fun. In my opinion, a gambler can control himself after losing, he can really consider gambling as fun. It is usually a difficult task which is not possible for the most of the gamblers.

@Scripture I think who want to genuinely catch fun doesn't consider mostly losses but the fun that is in it. . The major thing about gambling for fun is that it will be with affordable money or lesser money. Take this season as example, many people played certain games for fun especially older people or family people. Like it is season for merriment, some uncles and aunties played certain fun game with their nieces and nephews without expectations of reward just for the sake of it with kids and likewise the parents also took the kids out and playing some games too.
