When the fun stops

[Outhue]

Online gambling platforms exists not only to get you some lucky wins, it's also another form of entertainment,  but I will like to ask if truly you people are getting that entertainment from gambling?

We can see what the world is becoming now, things are getting harder and what's on peoples mind is how to make even more money, there is no time, there are too many responsibilities,  are you sure you getting entertained?

Some people already feel like they are not having fun, because what they have in mind is making money, to all people that feels this way, If you feel like you aren't having fun I believe for the greater good, it's better to take a break from gambling and do something else.

Do you agree or disagree?

I believe that most people end up messing themselves up with gambling because to them everything is money, money, money, and this can stop your brain from becoming a responsible gambler, the sense of protecting yourself from gambling addiction can get lost if you are already not having fun with gambling anymore.

I will say yes. There are times I will be with my friends and we can take laptops and phones and gamble together. That makes it an entertainment for me.

There are times that I may be alone and I have nothing doing, I can gamble with little amount of money that time. I am always busy and I only have little time for this which is during weekend.

We can see what the world is becoming now, things are getting harder and what's on peoples mind is how to make even more money, there is no time, there are too many responsibilities,  are you sure you getting entertained?

When I was addicted, I remember it was because I was looking for a way to be earning weekly income, I tried gambling and it affected me negatively until I realized that I was stupid for thinking like that. Gambling can not be a source of income. When I started to work, all I was thinking is to use 5% or less to gamble. There are many people that are contented with what they have but people can not be the same.

Some people already feel like they are not having fun, because what they have in mind is making money, to all people that feels this way, If you feel like you aren't having fun I believe for the greater good, it's better to take a break from gambling and do something else.

Do you agree or disagree?

I agree because that is what is actually happening but gambling should not be seen as a way of making money.

I believe that most people end up messing themselves up with gambling because to them everything is money, money, money, and this can stop your brain from becoming a responsible gambler, the sense of protecting yourself from gambling addiction can get lost if you are already not having fun with gambling anymore.

I can not agree more, you are right.

The words fun and entertainment have been erased from our dictionaries as gamblers depending on where you are in the social hierarchy. For the upper class, gambling is fun. When they gamble, they have a glass of wine on the table and a cigar in their mouth for those who smoke. They gamble with their other rich friends of the same heirarchy. They do it for fun, it is bonding time. I don't think they play at online casinos.

The shrinking middle class and the lower class are the ones who gamble as a source of income, to solve a problem, to double their money. For these people gambling can't be fun, nor entertainment. Gambling for them is a side hustle,  a do-or-die affair. They go broke gambling, they don't bond with friends rather they lose friendships and relationships because of their gambling habits.

I completely understand where you're coming from and appreciate the thoughtfulness behind your post. Online gambling, like any form of entertainment, should primarily be about enjoyment. When the line between entertainment and financial desperation blurs, it can lead to unhealthy behaviors and addiction.

It's true that the world is challenging and many are seeking alternative ways to make ends meet, but gambling shouldn't be seen as a reliable income source. The moment the primary motivation shifts from entertainment to solely making money, the essence of responsible gambling is lost. Those feeling overwhelmed or not deriving joy from it anymore should indeed consider taking a break, reflecting, and perhaps seeking other forms of entertainment or relaxation.

I agree that a healthy relationship with any form of entertainment involves balance, self-awareness, and boundaries. It's essential for individuals to check in with themselves regularly to ensure they're engaging in these activities for the right reasons. Your post serves as a valuable reminder of the importance of self-reflection and moderation.

The fun ends when your balance ends and if you used some money that you could not afford to lose that is even worse for you,you don't feel entertained at all while gambling or maybe just a little bit when you hit some occasional win during the bonus round as you feel at that time that maybe this time I will hit it big.

That is the problem with the world,prices are on the increase,inflation is sky high so people look at gambling as a possibility to make extra money nowadays more than a possibility to entertain themselves.

It's crucial to emphasize that responsible gambling practices should be promoted and followed regardless of one's social class. Problem gambling can affect individuals from all walks of life, and it's essential to approach gambling with caution, seek help when needed, and be aware of the potential consequences. Education and support for responsible gambling can benefit everyone, aiming to mitigate the negative impacts associated with gambling.

However, i don't think it's not only about social status that is the source of fun experience. For me it is the experience of winning. Who else enjoyed losing eh? So once you start losing over and over, you're getting angry, then you lose interest. That's for me when I slowly lose some fun.

I agree. Maybe in a period of opportunity or economic prosperity, the life of a gambler could be maintained. Now, and in the future, it might be an entirely different story. In fact, those who are somehow gambling beyond their means, with income, or even somehow using gambling as a form of income...they are all in for a shock.

If you are exceeding 10% of your available crypto/cash each time you gamble, I can tell you that you are gambling not just with your money, but your future. Now is the time that everyone around the world should be being protective over their wealth.

[yazher]

I agree with that and that's what people need to do when they do not seem to get the positivity of doing the things they want and it seems like all of their work is turning into negative vibes, they should not compromise themselves and just blindly follow their desire. they truly need a rest right now and consider looking for something that will cheer them up and make their life bright again even though it's a small thing to do, that would change their mood and will eventually make their lives positive again compared to force the lifestyles they shouldn't have acquired in the first place and make it hard for themselves every day.

Initially you may just have fun by enjoying online gambling games in your free time, but gambling will make players even more curious and addicted to continuing to play. The adrenaline rush of wanting to get Max Win is of course the next goal to get back the money that has been spent. Having fun is probably only 30%, the rest is for making more money.
The more money you spend while gambling, the greater your desire to get more money than you have spent. When the activity you do is only to earn some money, then the desire to have fun will become secondary.

[ethereumhunter]

Yes, I get entertainment from gambling especially when I can get big wins. Unfortunately, I rarely get big wins and can only win a small amount of money, perhaps more often than not just breaking even. But that's enough for me because I'm not after winning and just want to enjoy my time gambling.

If they only think about winning from gambling, they may not get a win but a loss. They can also experience gambling addiction because they only think about gambling instead of seeking pleasure from gambling. So it depends on each person's point of view how they treat gambling.

I know the feeling when even when I’m resting I can’t stop thinking about making money (in my country this is the norm haha), but if I’m relaxing and doing something interesting to me, then I’m relaxing. If an activity no longer brings me pleasure and relaxation, then I simply stop doing it. It’s not about thoughts about making money, but about the fact that you personally are tired of gambling. I think you need to find something else to do to relax.
As for those who get involved in gambling in order to make money, this has been written about many times - gambling is not for making money but for entertainment.

If you look at what is happening in the world today, it is true that things are getting more difficult and everyone wants to make money quickly, but gambling is not the answer, because gambling is not a place that can give you money all the time, why not work or trade that can make money Still, compared to gambling, why should you choose to gamble when the risk is much higher and it is easy to lose money in the end?

Actually, it's all about your mindset when you see gambling from what perspective, obviously it's fun for me personally when every weekday I spend time working and only have weekends to gamble just for fun, nothing more, I have a budget. limited so that it doesn't make me gamble too far and become addicted, when I lose, just think of me paying for something that pleases me, but if I win, why not withdraw it and enjoy it, but if you gamble, you look at it from the perspective of making money. that's wrong 

[slapper]

Your response made me think about something deeper. There have always been drawbacks to online gambling. Yes, it is marketed as entertainment on the one hand. You can't deny, though, that quick money is appealing.

Not all of the folks who gamble are thrill-seekers. I witness people in a desperate attempt to close their financial deficits. For others, it's a Hail Mary; it's not entertainment. I have questioned whether the possible decline into addiction is worth the dopamine surge that follows a victory.

Who are they kidding when they say they're "just having fun," as many do? Most likely simply by themselves. Make money the main motivation, and that's a slippery slope, my friend. Taking a break is a lifeline as much as advice. But who's brave enough to take it?

Yes, your statement is very correct because it is in accordance with the current conditions of society, especially in an increasingly difficult economy, difficult jobs and rising prices of basic necessities, it is very clear and natural that most of them turn to something that looks instant like gambling, in my opinion this is the strongest reason why they go to casinos and why now gambling players are increasing and increasing in several countries. Obviously if we look at gambling it's really nothing but a place to have fun and not at all to make money, but I don't know and I think the potential or opportunity to get a lot of money instantly in gambling has completely made them like blind and not at all think about any risks that are there. I think the reason is as I said above and you also said that the world situation is not good now especially in the economy, I'm sure they want to get a job but now it's very difficult to get it and to start a business there may also be many obstacles. Yes I understand this will only worsen the situation but it only explains the logical cause why more and more people end up gambling. because yes, but the best thing is that you can avoid it because this is not a solution.

Yes, it's true, it all comes back to their own mindset, I hope they will understand about how real gambling is especially in the risks, don't let you see this as an opportunity or solution to fix your financial crisis, it will only cause a lot of problems, nothing more than that. So yes that is very true, I say you are a healthy and responsible gambler by only seeing gambling as a place to have fun and limit the budget when gambling on holidays to fill the time, so basically I like this mindset like you.

I am more inclined to believe that gambling is a habit from which a person receives a certain burst of adrenaline, without some of which it is already difficult for him to live. Once you win a large sum, it’s as if a person falls into a trap. People are all different, the one who is not subject to excitement will calmly receive his winnings and end the game. But the other one will want to repeat it again and again. It’s difficult for me to talk about the feeling that a person who has lost everything experiences, since I am not a gambler, but I would always like to understand such people at least a little. What takes hold of them is that they can lose everything and remain completely bankrupt. What's next? It’s good if there is a source of income that can be replenished, but if not. What then? Can something like this be called entertainment?

Yes. It's the different emotions that come out which is the big reason why it becomes more entertaining. The fun when you hit the big multi-win and the stressful losses that will make you mad. 

We can see what the world is becoming now, things are getting harder and what's on peoples mind is how to make even more money, there is no time, there are too many responsibilities,  are you sure you getting entertained?

Still a yes. That's because I am not using too much money for it. Just enough for the entertainment purpose.

Some people already feel like they are not having fun, because what they have in mind is making money, to all people that feels this way, If you feel like you aren't having fun I believe for the greater good, it's better to take a break from gambling and do something else.

I won't be a hypocrite, of course, I want to win and that's the main purpose of gambling but I always try to just have fun when doing it. If the purpose of gambling is to double the money to pay for the bills and you are risking way too much that you can afford then we are taking out the fun part of it.
This is the reason why I changed my strategy in casino games, I am not pursuing small wins anymore and trying to hit that big jackpot which in my experience had already happened like 5 times, and at all those chances I made a withdrawal as fast as I could.

So you are coming up with the assumption that the gambling addicts aren't having fun, because they think about money? I can't agree.
AFAIK, gambling addicts are having fun while gambling. I have never seen a gambling addict, who looks and feels miserable, while he gambles.
Gambling is always fun, it doesn't matter if you are a moderate gambler or a hardcore addict. The problem is how do you control your gambling behavior and do you have any control whatsoever. Drug addiction is also fun, but the drug addicts don't realize that their life and their health condition is slowly turning into ruins.

Everything will go to addiction if you overthink to much on many things that hard to achieve especially a profit always on casino games. This can rise up our wants to do excessive gambling if we push to hard without thinking the consequences of the actions we do.
This is how addiction starts and I think this became normal when we are new but once we gain experience from facing those heart stopping lose for sure this could change addiction to be a careful betting stints.

The fun of gambling will disappear when you don't see it as a fun activity, when you start to see it as a way to make money you will hate the bad side of it. When you take gambling for the entertainment purpose, trust me you will find a way to quickly forget any bad encounter that you face. For instance, you earn $1000 a week as an average salary and then from that amount, you remove $50 from it to gamble for that week and you lose, some people may feel it depending on how heavy your bills are but how do you think it's going to feel if you use $500 from the weekly wages to bet, you will definitely feel the pain. In essence, gamble with what you can afford to lose, that is the only way you can see gambling being fun.

As for hardship, I think it would be absurd to think that gambling is an opportunity to make passive income to feed and pay bills. It is not a place to make money daily, anyone who depends on it to increase their income will end up disappointed at the end of the day. Look for a normal job to uplift your bills and treat gambling as it should.

Once you win big money, your mindset changes from wanting to have fun to trying to make money and we can't blame people, they feel they can repeat the process they feel they got the idea and the method and they have to do it and they have a chance to make money more than what they are earning on their work.

That is why there are people who play money more than they can't afford to lose because there's that hope that they can win big and it's only a matter of time before, they keep insisting that they are very near to winning the big amount so the fun stops and the challenge begin.
