When the fun stops

[knowngunman]

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?

Fun can not be separated from gambling no matter the outcome of your bet. Either you lose your game or you win, you're entertain in either way. The difference is that the entertainment is not always view in the same angle when your gamble goes opposite. It is just that sometimes when we lose bet, we overlooked the entertainment aspect of gambling and be thinking over the money we lose but it's undeniable that entertainment is not completely there but we care less about it when the money is gone.

The comparison of influential gamblers and the average gamblers is not worth because the former have enough money to not worry about the one they gamble with while the latter have less and that's why they feel lost when they lose the money but it doesn't mean the entertainment is not more, just that for them the entertainment is mixed with agony and of course the agony overshadow the entertainment.

When I'm in a good mood, I usually enjoy the game and play casually, only playing with small bet. However, if the losses continue to occur, sometimes I get emotional and start increasing the bet. Actually in this situation I no longer enjoy the game, I am motivated to return my lost money

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.

Yes I agree with you. At the point where we have a lot of emotions from losing and don't enjoy the game anymore, it is better to stop gambling than to lose more money. In my opinion we need to control our emotions, if gambling is done with emotion and anger it is just a waste of money, and it is not fun that we get but stress because we lose lot of money on gambling sites. Better stop and you will get better

For me it's not just fun but more of an excitement. I feel that even if I bet $10, it doesn't have to be a lot and I get this tingling sensation, the adrenaline rush when the event is coming to an end and I've bet on the winning team. I don't need to win a lot of money, it's the waiting for the result and getting the euphoria of winning, being right that gets the thing done. Sometimes I bet against the fighters or teams that I like so that I feel happy regardless of the outcome. If my team wins, I'm happy for them, if they lose, I get the consolidation prize in the form of money.

The feeling is very different while watching the sports that you've bet on you have the thrill and nervousness of watching the game live compared to not having a bet on it. I am not also after big wins as I am a small sportsbettor and I only bet whenever I want because I feel the tension over the game even if I am just watching on my TV. We are just after the fun and not for the profit we are gaining but still we are happy if we win some money but it is not about winning the money it is about the fun we experience.

I had some good fun when I started gambling at Stake.com a few years ago, because they had a pretty good RTP and I regularly won small enough jackpots to fund my entertainment. Since they signed multi Million Dollar deals with paid streamers and Soccer clubs and UFC fighters and celebrities like Drake.... the RTP has changed a lot and players are winning much less.

It is not fun, when you deposit $1000 and you sit in front of your computer and you watch it going down the drain. Yes, you still win very small amounts, but nothing as huge as you used to win.

It is entertaining, when you deposit say $100 and you can play for say an hour ....but lately $100 will not last you 10 or 20 minutes, because it is just one long losing streak.

That is if someone gambles with the aim of having fun so they don't care about the end result the most important thing is to play and have fun even though they might lose some money and this will be very different when someone gambles with the aim of making money or making gambling a second place to look for a clear source of income will regret and feel very angry when they lose.
Remember that everything depends on our perspective and goals in entering gambling.

I don't know what you mean by influential gamblers because in my opinion all gamblers are the same and the only difference is the financial system or how to manage finances in gambling.
You have a lot of money and gamble to get some profit, then whatever money you have will definitely run out without any left and you won't get the slightest satisfaction from what you do but when you have limited money and think about how to have fun then luck could come and double your money even when the money is lost you still feel satisfied and very happy because you can play several game sessions.

Becoming emotional because of losing in gambling will be there. But with self-control, I think we can reduce emotional behavior and not waste excessively by gambling. We will always be careful about spending money on gambling and can stop before losing a lot of money because it can make someone stressed. When they have good self-control, they don't need to worry about the temptations they will encounter and can enjoy gambling because they will treat gambling as entertainment. When they feel that the fun has stopped, it is time for them to leave the casino and move on to something else so they don't think about gambling anymore.

Well, just burned +$80 on slots... I played less than 20 minutes, a few bonus rounds paid x10 max, and some big wins were higher than what I won from bonus rounds. But those long-losing streaks simply melted my amount... I stopped playing slots and I placed some sports bets with a few dollars left. Maybe I will have more luck with goals today.

It's entertaining as long as we play with money we can afford to lose... I like to play slots, but I know how cruel slots can be (and some other lucky-based games), so even though I hope to hit something big I am aware that I can easily bust my amount in minutes, literally. Especially if I get into "buying bonuses" mode!

What do you think has changed about gambling itself? It's our situations and the times that keep changing but that doesn't really change the purpose of gambling, and it totally depends on one's own mindset regarding gambling and whether it will be fun for them or not. If you have always seen gambling as a way to earn money and profits, you can never get entertained by it because your mind and eyes will always just be looking for big wins.

But, if you have never thought of gambling as a way to earn money and you already have money and you just need some entertainment and just want to play some games and have some fun, then you will not find gambling not fun anymore because it is still the same thing if your mindset hasn't changed.

It's totally about ones mindset, and this mindset can put people in trouble, it's a mindset when you believe that you can make a living with gambling, it's a mindset when you believe that you can earn weekly income with gambling, it's a mindset when you believe that you can turn into a millionaire with gambling, imagine getting punished by your own mindset and believe.

We need to be careful with the mindset we create on things or what we choose to believe in, what we choose to believe in can take our rise to our fall, gambling isn't something anyone should have a belief in, or try to create some kind of mindset around.

I'd rather create a mindset on money making through investments and goals than luck, it's fun to place bets on football games because I am a supporter of a favorite club and that's it, maybe we will win or lose, No one knows, it's better to keep it like this, because no one knows.

Gambling is entertaining, but loss can outweigh the "fun" component. If you're going to gamble, do it for the fun of it and not the money. But that's easier said than done, right? Especially when money is involved. Remembering why you started gambling is crucial. Was it just for fun? Was it for profit? There's a reason why "responsible gambling" is a frequently echoed term. Setting limitations, recognizing probability, and mentally preparing for any outcome are key. Whether a high roller or a recreational player, be fun, but wise

Well, this is the main point in gambling, controlling your emotions when gambling is difficult, especially when you lose, but if you can do it, you probably won't experience much loss.
And I agree with what you say that self-control is necessary so that we are careful about spending money when betting. I once experienced a time when my emotions got the best of me, making me go crazy and have the ambition to win at gambling, but over times I understood that if it continued like this I would experience big losses, as time goes by I now understand when I should stop and when I should playing.

I think it's really unhealthy if you aremt getting entertainment from it.  When you bet on a sporting game it adds something to the game that wouldn't be there if you didn't care about the outcome.  Once you stop getting entertained I think that is where the addiction comes in.  Some people feel the need to bet, that's when it's time to get help.

The reward system of the brain get rewired to get pleasure from the gambling rush. Same happens in games and drugs which become a habit. Thing is that people need to seek help in such cases before things get out of hand and the victim is rarely the first person to recognise this but the near and dear ones are.

Once a person feels that the fun has stopped they look for more games or put in more money, try to recover the lost money and the cycle continues. The reason behind this is that we have difficulty in accepting our loss and moving on from it.

[Fiatless]

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?

Inflation and a high rate of unemployment are affecting the finances of many gamblers. People now want to survive and much attention is not given to entertainment. Most people don't have extra funds they could use in casinos to enjoy what they like doing. We all hope that things will change in the future.

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.

The mistake some gamblers make is to see gambling as a source of income. If you are facing financial problems, you have to seek for alternative way to make additional income and not rely on gambling. Seeing gambling as a source of income is the main cause of frustration and gambling addiction. If you don't have extra money to gamble, look for other means of entertainment until your income improves.

Your review is very accurate my friend, I think that although initially they came with the intention of just having fun, but I would not fully believe in it, because it is very likely that it is just a nonsense, it is not uncommon to find some of them who violate what they have planned before. So it's very appropriate that I would also say that "it's easier said than done", that's a fact that happens friends.

That's right, it's not gambling if it doesn't involve money or anything valuable in it which in fact is the goal of almost everyone why they come there, so I think it's very likely that the average of them (gamblers) who come only to get that win, who doesn't need money? everyone wants money, but there are two choices, namely to seek income or seek pleasure, and I'm sure only a few percent of them choose to seek pleasure, if they really seek pleasure only then it is unlikely that now many are down because of the many defeats there, so I think their first words are just nonsense if indeed in time they also have the wrong mindset or violate what they have said at the beginning. Yes that's right, there is nothing better than applying a lot of restrictions there, they must be quick to change that wrong mindset.

Really depends, if you play responsible, I mean the money that you burned is just for having fun and entertainment then nothing's wrong with it. You set your priority first before you gamble.

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.

Then that is the opposite case that I mentioned, those people or gamblers who look for it to make money, bring food in the table, pay off their debts, then it's not going to be fun with them since they are chasing something and it could really stress them out in the long run. That's it's very important to get control of ourselves, and if we think that gambling is taking our lives then we have to stop. It should not be a job, as everything is based on luck.

Becoming emotional because of losing in gambling will be there. But with self-control, I think we can reduce emotional behavior and not waste excessively by gambling. We will always be careful about spending money on gambling and can stop before losing a lot of money because it can make someone stressed. When they have good self-control, they don't need to worry about the temptations they will encounter and can enjoy gambling because they will treat gambling as entertainment. When they feel that the fun has stopped, it is time for them to leave the casino and move on to something else so they don't think about gambling anymore.

Of course, friend, it cannot be denied that emotional feelings will arise when someone experiences defeat, and it depends on how we accept it wisely or perhaps the regret we feel. Having self-control will probably reduce a person's gambling and he will not feel regret if one day he loses because he can control his finances when gambling because the bets are small.

[gunhell16]

First of all, most people here know that not all gamblers gamble just for fun; most of them play because they are involved in getting a lot of winnings for a small amount that will turn out to be a large amount in the end. In short, some think it is a good source of income.

There are others who gamble because they have an addiction to it, something they can't avoid doing every day. Now, there are others who do it just for entertainment or to pass the time, and there are also others who do it because, for them, winning or losing is a stress reliever. So I can say that gambling for me is really just entertainment because I am entertained even if I lose.

This is how I treated gambling whenever I decide to play in it.

Gambling isnt a game of skill, and anyone trying to peddle that is straight-up lying. The moment someone thinks they can systematically profit off gambling, they're setting themselves up for disaster. The house always has the edge, and the chances are always skewed against the player.

Beliefs can uplift us, but they can also be our worst enemy. Especially when it comes to gambling. No lying here - trying to make a consistent income out of gambling is not just naive, its reckless. Like you said, why stake your future on something as volatile and unpredictable as gambling when you can be strategic about investments? Its just common sense.

We are just after the fun and not for the profit we are gaining but still we are happy if we win some money but it is not about winning the money it is about the fun we experience.

It's true what you said, placing a bet can give you more sensation when watching a match, especially a football match. And the sensation that is given is not only at the end of the match as a determinant of the bets I make, but I get this sensation from the start of the match to the end of the match. And I can even scream hysterically if I watch it and place bets together with my friends.
Likewise, what I often do is make small bets, but occasionally I also like to place large bets. And when making a big bet, I prefer to watch the match live by going to the stadium where the match takes place so that the sensation I get is even greater.

[OgNasty]

I think OP makes a good point that if you are gambling just for money, you are going to be regularly disappointed. Casinos are basically arcades for adults. Imagine being a kid and getting angry that you have less money than you had when you entered an arcade. It’s got to be about fun or else you’re statistically almost certain to have a bad time.

[goldkingcoiner]

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?

I am, honestly.

But that is because I only bet very small amounts of money unlike most of you lunatics    

What people need to do before going into an online gambling casino is to first assess their financial situation and use max. 10% of their disposable income in a month to gamble. Divide that number up by the number of days in the month and you have yourself daily gambling funds. Do not become tempted into using more of the funds than the established daily gambling funds. Hold on to some discipline and if you do not have any discipline then do not gamble in the first place.

I see no fun in gambling large amounts of money in hopes of winning "the big one".
