Is there any fun in losing while gambling

[Obari]

Over the time, I’ve seen several post, by users here who, claim that gambling is strictly for fun, even when one is making losses and I’ve paused to ask this question “Is there actually any fun in gambling especially when the losses are more than the winnings?”
Let’s be frank, there are several other things one can do for fun aside gambling and I understand that life it’s own is a risk but seeing claims that people see gambling as fun even when making losses is weird and I think it’s worth discussion as to know if truly people gamble strictly for fun without minding if they’re losing or winning

It is not that a fun if you are losing and not winning. But if I win and lose, it is fun for me and that is what that is happening and I do not consider  if I win more or lose more. That is me.

What about you? You need to ask yourself this question. What makes you to be gambling? The reason for most people is to earn money. If such people are losing they will not find gambling as fun while losing.

Well, many people like taking risks and I guess that is where the fun factor comes from. By risking their money and feeling those different emotions between winning and losing.
It's not fun to lose, that I am sure of. I experienced a losing streak before in both casino games and sports betting and I can tell I am stressed after I saw my results. The fun factor comes while you are only playing the game or the sport that you love is starting because of excitement.
In casino games, it's different. I play Keno and Plinko most of the time and I think the fun part is when I see that ball in Plinko near falling at the highest multi-win either in 14 lines with x420 or in 16 lines with x1000 multi.
In the end though, after playing for hours, if I see a green graph I can happily sleep, but when I see a red, I just want to continue and take back whatever amount was taken from me. I think that's the sad part when you gamble, the chasing losses mode where you are too desperate to get back what was taken from you.
The only fun comes from the winning moments.

Of course not, when you lose you will be a little disappointed, but when you play does it count as having fun?

For me there is nothing strange, when you play gambling with ready to lose, it means that it is for fun, right, not thinking about losing or winning we must be able to feel how fun it is, from some of course when you lose there must be those who feel disappointed including myself, but I will not bother because I know the initial goal is for fun not looking for profit.

So I say again, there is nothing fun about losing, but you have to know that gambling is for fun not thinking about winning because this is a form of luck that does not know when to win big.

     -   If my only intention was to be happy gambling and just have fun, I felt that if I was enjoying it, it would be okay for me to lose. And if I win despite my entertainment, my happiness will only increase, that's all.

Maybe the only thing that won't make you happy when you lose gambling is that you didn't meet your expectations of winning money from gambling, so the result is that you will really feel depressed and regret the money you lost.

In general, gambling is for fun, but it didn't say that there's fun in losing. You are not a normal person if you have fun when losing in gambling since most people would not be happy losing, but a responsible gambler knows how to accept losses and move on, and in the end would just say, "It's okay, at least I have fun".

If gambling is fun, you spend money to have fun, but if you win, consider it your bonus, or just being lucky, becuase if you think like you just found the formula of winning and get curious to try to make consistent profit, that's when gambling is not fun anymore, at least most of the time.

[Churchillvv]

From the on set, I never saw gambling as fun until someone got to explain to me what really makes gambling fun. It's just like playing your favorite sports or games in real life, but the difference is that you stake money in order to make more money, and you play these games because you just want to play and have fun; hence, you gamble and have fun at the same time. But when you're losing this gamble, it will no longer be fun because you are losing. Just playing without staking is fun; staking and winning is fun, but when you begin to lose, the fun is no longer there because you feel some anxiety to get what you've lost, where gambling is no longer fun.

Though there is this illusion that has been created in this gambling section that gambling as a whole is fun, it is only fun when you are winning, so if you aren't winning, then it's no fun.

This depends on how you see gambling, if you see gambling as a means of making profit, when you are losing, it will hit you hard but when you see it as fun, you wouldn't mind when you lose. This is why it is advice to use only the amount that you can afford to lose, so that when you lose, it wouldn't be a burden to you. Imagine when you give out money to little children, that money means nothing to you. Same with gambling, when you use such money, you will enjoy the game because either you are lose or win, you are fine with the outcome.

I am a sport bet fan, when I am watching my matches after staking my bets, I enjoy the game and not the money that I use to stake, and if it happens that my prediction was wrong, I wouldn't be angry especially if my club is playing, I will get angry that they could not win the match and not that I lost. I have even start understanding how to control my emotions when my club win so that I can put myself on the ease mood.

I think gambling is for fun when we are winning and winning more often then losing, because i get frustrated when I see the announcement of "WIN".
It is more fun when we lose and win but win should be higher then those losses but it's happen very less or when we start our gambling session, it feels fun in starting but after sometimes when we lose it get frustrating.
it's more fun when we play with friends or a community on one table, or offline casinos are bet where we can enjoy even when losing.

I don't think anyone will be fun with the losses they experienced. Maybe for lossing a small nominal according to each of them (because this small amount can be different for each player), they will consider losing money as if the money fell on the street. For me personally I haven't found any fun from gambling except winning. LOL

Therefore, I myself don't think gambling is for fun, but to try to find luck, sometimes hoping to win. Maybe my level is too low to be able to consider gambling as fun. But I remain responsible with every result I get, whether winning or losing.

Gambling definitely has wins and losses, so when I gamble I lose myself but recently I have won in gambling. When I become more addicted to gambling, the chances of losing are higher, so I use a strategy to divide my money into two parts. And when I win I keep the money and when I lose I stop gambling when my balance is exhausted. Such strategies can lead to gambling wins. When I lose, I get very disappointed.

Yes, basically playing gambling to have fun, but gambling that is carried out continuously certainly has such a serious impact. And at this time in Indonesia there are almost 250.7 thousand
Online gambling transactions with a total value of Rp2 trillion which will increase every year. This is not only detrimental to yourself but there are also several aspects that are also disadvantaged in online gambling that have a negative impact. The most significant negative when doing online gambling is that the economy is unstable. Addicted to online gambling will spend a lot of money and make finances continue to be unstable until finally many people prefer to borrow money to banks, or other online loans. And there are many other negative impacts that have a gambling game.

Define your losses please before talking about fun, because the last time I gamble I use as little as $5 and my monthly income depends on numbers of customers, I earn from $300 to $550, this doesn't include how much I earn online too, what could $5 do to me that will rob me of my fun?

Why are you gambling? It can't be for the fun of it, I agreed, but it's a big part, anyone who is a fan of football knows the thrill of watching a game, even if you bet $1 it's going to be a fun match even if you lose the money, because you can afford more than the amount.

If you are gambling to make money you are on the bad side of everything, no fun or entertainment will feel like in your eye, because all you have in mind is to make money and sorry to say, that gambling isn't wired to give people some good income.

Gambling is indeed fun mostly when the cash you bet is something you can risk losing that when you get the real fun relaxing watching the game. But when gambling with your hard earns or some thing you can't risk in other to get something extraordinary in return at that moment I  don't gambling will be fun in such. Because you be tense and having this  fear of losing that valuable thing you staked when the others are busy enjoying the game having the mindset of either they win nor lose doesn't matters aslong it was fun. While you be busy thinking,  it most be a win and through that tense moment you won't be able to enjoy the game.

I agree with what you said. Let me assume that I earn $500 in a month. From the $500, it is said and advised that people should use 1% to gamble. If I gamble with 1% of my money earned that month, that is just $5. If I lose all the $5, I will still enjoy the games while gambling. It is just that most people do not gamble to have just fun, they also need to earn money from it. If they are earning money, they are happy but if they are losing, they are not happy. Looking to earn money from gambling is not advised.

It is the reaction to losses in the casino that determines the player's condition at the moment. If he loses even a small amount, he gets very angry and swears. If he closes himself off from his family and nervously and secretly constantly walks with his phone, then these are the first indicators of an Incorrect gambling Attitude. If a person gambles to get good emotions, and does not consider gambling as earnings, then he is preparing in advance for a loss. When he makes a deposit at the casino, he mentally says goodbye to the money. And this is the right attitude.

The first thing a gambler should know is to always use your spare cash to gamble or money you can afford to lose (just as in a risky investment).

When you use money that’s meant for something else all you would be thinking of is how to not lose that money to gambling, but if its something that even when you lose you won’t feel a thing you’ll so much enjoy that session, a lot of people you see sitting at their desk trying to derive a method that will guarantee their wins always engage with money that they are not ready to lose or can’t afford to lose that’s why you see them overhauling themselves.

I have experienced both when I used my spare cash and when I used money that was meant for something else but fortunately for me I didn’t loss that latter but the experience I had was not something I would want someone else to have.

Gambling goes beyond the joy of winning or the agony of losing. The adrenaline rush, uncertainty, and challenge! Can losing be fun? Absolutely! The process is exciting, not the result. A mindset game, I say. Those who enjoy gambling despite losses embrace risk and reward, an example of life. Life is a gamble, and they're gambling at the tables or slots.

We shouldnt be naive. Not everyone shares this view. Losses hurt financially and ego-wise for some. Failure is what people perceive, not entertainment. This perceptual divide is essential. They find gambling intimidating and regrettable.

Gambling is entertaining beyond winning or losing. The emotional rollercoaster, anticipation, and strategy matter. Note that not everyone is affected. Some take a joyous risk, others a regrettable one. Perspective is what makes it a worthwhile debate. The key? Be aware of your boundaries and gamble sensibly.

Fun doesn't mean we lose, it's fun, the fun here is where we get the jackpot in my opinion. Especially when it comes to sports and esports betting, while supporting the club we love we can also experience real victory plus we get betting wins with it. That's what I mean by having fun when playing gambling.

[Nheer]

There is no fun in losing at all and it’s not just in gambling but in everything man does but this perception will vary between people because there are those who are not fixated on their wins. Some see gambling as a profit making game while some see it as a game for fun but even at that when you lose there more often there will be no fun at all.

When I gamble I always assume my money is gone already even though I expect a win from my prediction and i don’t feel bad about losing because I expect a loss just as much as i expect a win so in that context i will say I gamble for fun but if i really want to have fun while spending money they are other things i will rather opt for than to gamble. Losing money in gambling is not fun but it still depends on how the person takes it.
