Is there any fun in losing while gambling

[shivansps]

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

I think this could very well be the case. I mean gambling for fun only. A person can bet $20 or $50 on an event once a week and enjoy the process. Still, it excites our nerves and gives us a thrill. I think this is what they say when they say “playing not for money, but for pleasure.” Another thing is that many people started playing for fun, but then stopped enjoying it and started using money that they couldn’t spend. In any case, I think that you can play just for fun, but you have to be very careful.

No gambler want to lose, I can say I have fun while losing, this is something that is out of the expectations of everyone gamblers and for sure it is important, to note that gambling is fun when you are not losing and also there should be a set aside founds for gambling since it important to take something into consideration while gambling either to play for fun and the probability of making some extra profits from your speculations of the games.

Nobody really enjoyed gambling and having loss but if you pre-program your mind and get your self ready for what gambling is all about, there wouldn't be any form of room to make you feel like you are losing because you already knows that loss is inevitable in what you are doing, anytime you lost money you wouldn't be surprised because you are already prepared for it.


Gambling is simple and gambling can be hard, this app boil down on how you want it. If you put money on gambling and you expect to see some money and it didn't happen as you want, you will be fill with disappointment and sadness most particularly if you want to use the winning money for something important but if you refused to be tempted by gambling money, you will never have a reason to be sad for one moment, you will always accept what comes after your result.

It is a sure thing even though we still realize that in the end losing is a sure thing in gambling because there will be more losses when compared to the wins that occur but still no one will be happy with losing in gambling considering that it is a condition that is actually a little difficult to accept.

But indeed on the other hand we also have to understand that it is a form of consequence that must be had and we must realize that defeat is the most likely situation to occur so that we can be legowo with the defeat that we receive in the gambling that we do in the end.
This is like a condition that we inevitably have to accept because after all, when we gamble, then we will definitely feel the name of defeat.

It is quite obvious that gamblers would always lose whether we like it or not but the problem is that no one want to be seeing loses everytime they gamble.  There is no fun when we lose bets and that is why we keep seeing gamblers losing money and a getting addicted to gambling because they always want to be seeing results. No gambler would be excited losing bet but we should all know that gambling is meant to be  fun and loses must come whether we like it or not. Anytime we lose bets, it is always good we try and take a break so that we don't get addicted to gambling which can have a side effect to on us as gamblers.

Yeah I get your point bro but the truth is that, the fun in gambling is more when the winnings are actually coming when the losses are outweighing the winnings are slot of persons will also agree with me that, losses have more negative effect on a gambler than a positive one and that’s why irrespective of what our purp and mission is in gambling, it is always advised that we should gamble within hour means and don’t gambler more than we can afford to loss.

The truth is that, it take a lot of commitment for a gambler to be able to draw the line as to when to stop and the fact that a gambler is able to gamble a certain amount of money and be able to stop at a a certain point doesn’t make him a good gambler and personally, a think a good and successful gambler is one who is making profit on a consistent basis irrespective of how his profits are made.

Yes no one wants to lose in gambling because in this case on one hand they lose the game because it hits their ego and on the other hand they lose their money.  So of course it is natural for everyone to feel bad about losing gambling.  Although gambling should not be used for the purpose of making an income, it can be seen that most gamblers gamble with the intention of making a profit, and the purpose of profit is to make an income. So in this case, there is no reason to be happy about their gambling loss.  But for those who gamble only for fun, the poison can be different

And in my opinion, the inevitable loss in a gambling game and the loss of some money act as a powerful incentive for the player to continue the game.  These losses seem to push him to further gaming actions and force him to move forward.  Well, another win also encourages you to continnue playing, which is natural, since when you win, there is hope for the beginning of a streak of success and you want to hope for another win.  This whole process is reminiscent of a school stadium, when the coach urges the students to run another lap around the stadium, despite the fact that some no longer have the strength and their legs are literally falling off.  But the coach pushes the student and he has to run further.  Well, I don’t know, maybe it’s not a very correct comparison, but this is how the process seems to me.

I remember the school stadium, none of the students in my class liked to run, so the comparison is really not a very good one, because with gambling it’s not like that, no one sends us to the stadium, we come here ourselves.  And as for losing, yes, this is an integral part of gambling, no matter how long the winning streak is, but sooner or later there will be a loss. It often depends on strategy, everyone tries to do what is best for him.

There is no body that will intentionally want to lose money unless it is not their money and they did not do work to get the money. Every money that you worked for, you will want to protect it. People gamble because they want to double the money they have already therefore there is no fun in losing money but losing is something that will always happen when you are gambling. Running away from losing is impossible but you can manage the way you lose to avoiding going broke and becoming a nuisance to your family and friends because you always borrow money from then yet you do not payback. Gambling should be a fun activity that gives you both happiness and money occasionally. If you are not being favoured by gambling, you should not continue or you will be losing money regularly and that will not be nice. You should have a percentage or amount of money that you can handle losing and not just gambling without a plan or budget.

Definitely speaking, nobody wants to lose money they suffered to make, especially when the person is not very well to do. Well, your statement is right, but to an extent cause there are people who gamble cause they want to double their money bur then different people got their reasons for gambling, I'll say that rich people who got enough to spend gamble for fun despite loses or not, for instance drake, but those who don't have more than enough are mostly the ones who gamble cause they want to double their money. However, gambler should have it in mind that lose is inevitable in gambling but the most important thing is avoiding too much loses, so whether one gambles for fun or whatsoever reasons the goal should be working towards avoiding too much loses. Also, I support your statement that if one is not favoured by gambling the best decision they could make is to quit, do not use the fact that you want to have fun or double your money to loses more money.

Losing your money in gambling is certain because you don't knows when you will wins. The only things you can do is avoids the big lose in gambling so you can still enjoy your gambling activity. Many people lose their money in gambling without thinks about using gambling for have fun so they don't lose too much money from playing gambling. They thinks that they can wins for some money without losing much money and that is a wrong thing they do in gambling.

There's no fun in losing while playing gambling so you must understand that when you playing gambling, you must use the money you can afford so when you lose, you will not thinks much and can accept the lose. When you playing gambling only for fun and thinks that you can lose your money anytime, you will not trying to use too much money because you will avoids the big lose. You can holds yourself from using more money in gambling because you know the risk of losing the money will be bigger.

That's a moot point. For example, if I somehow receive a bonus (or just easy money) of say $100, I will be much less happy about it than if I make a complex bet and win $50. In gambling, the main thing is the process and emotions that we get while playing. Everything is subjective, but it seems to me that we get the main pleasure not from the result, but from the process, so in fact, it doesn’t really matter whether we win or lose (from the point of view of entertainment).

Let me say that you are a little wrong, happiness is not the same as value, and some times, some persons mistake value for happiness and vise versa.

If you get gifted $100, which like you said Is an easy money you didn't struggle to get, and you win $50 through a complex bet which you actually thought you did lose, what happens is that, you will value the $50 much more than the $100, but in terms of happiness, you and I know that the more money we have, the happier it makes us, but value comes from how we struggled to get something.

Hmmm... I don't know. In terms of value/happiness, $100 doesn't change anything for me, it's not an amount where you can start talking about what impact it has on your life. But in terms of emotions, the amount is not so important, but the process of obtaining it is important, and gambling (especially betting) gives you these emotions because there is an illusion that you are smarter than the bookmaker. If you win at roulette, you do not have any illusion that you are smarter than the dealer/casino, this is pure randomness.

There's no fun in losing while playing gambling so you must understand that when you playing gambling, you must use the money you can afford so when you lose, you will not thinks much and can accept the lose. When you playing gambling only for fun and thinks that you can lose your money anytime, you will not trying to use too much money because you will avoids the big lose. You can holds yourself from using more money in gambling because you know the risk of losing the money will be bigger.

There isnt much excitement in loosing indeed, but loosing isnt a tragedy either. At least for me. But why some say that it isnt fun in losing? There is some fun in it. For example, when we insert a coin into video game machine, we get fun, but lose money in the end. Even if we beat the game, the money will be lost. Only matters how far from the game start you would go. Gambling is a bit the same. It matters how much from the deposit you would gain, and how you will end. The fun of gambling in case of losing are emotions and process we get.

If you are gambling for fun and you are enjoying it, there should be no reason why you will be a gry if you lose your bet because you have already considered that the money is gone when you decided to gamble with it. This is because you understand that the probability of you losing your bet is equal.

If it happens that after the gambling you were able to make profit, it will be an additional joy to you for winning after having fun. Whoever sees gambling as a means of income will not understand this and will miss the fun in gambling because he is after making money.

That's right, what you say makes sense and if from the start someone gambles with the intention and aim of having fun then of course when in one of the sessions they lose then they shouldn't feel disappointed or even emotional, because as you said that from the start they must have been prepared for all possibilities, especially defeat, and also when the intention is to have fun then of course the priority is entertainment and not winning.

But if it turns out that they feel disappointed or even emotional and show their annoyance then maybe I would say that most likely they are saying something that is not in accordance with reality, or what I mean is that maybe they are lying about the idea of ​​gambling for fun. Regarding this, I can conclude that if you want to know about the intentions of someone involved in gambling then look at their response and reaction when they experience defeat because of course they will not be able to hide the reactions that come out of themselves and with that, maybe we can find out about what is the real purpose of his gambling.

On the moment that you do gamble and having just only that kind of aims or goals on having that fun and entertainment towards gambling then you wont really be facing any issues since you've been really that doing on the things on what should gambling needs to be done by a certain person on which playing for the sake of fun and not for money.On the moment that you do find yourself having that kind of approach on things because
you've been desperate on making money or profits with it then you are really just that basically putting up yourself on such big trouble. This is why it would really be that important that you should really know on what you would gonna do. Losing in gambling is never been fun and it would always be. The thing here is on how you would really be having such control on the time or moment that you would be able to face it.

Usually gamblers becomes impulsive on the time or moment that they will really be losing up that much or simply they would really be having that kind of impulsive reaction on which its normal.
Chasing up loses would really be your main step that you would really be doing first just because you would really be tending up to break even with those lost funds you have.
The moment that you do find yourself having that kind of emotion then better you do make yourself having that kind of break or pause on the current things you've been doing.

If you don’t enjoy the act of gambling and only have fun when you win then you are in for a bad time. Obviously the house always wins statistically, so engaging in an activity that you’re statistically proven to not have fun doing seems a bit weird to me. My advice, enjoy the ride and quit searching for a mythical destination.

The fun of gambling in case of losing are emotions and process we get.

If that lose is not too big, that will not be a tragedy but we know that many gamblers risks much money to playing gambling and when they lose, that will be a tragedy for them. They can't realizes how to treats gambling as an entertainment but they thinks gambling can be their sources of income so they will still playing gambling even if that means they will uses more money.

If they say that losing is not fun that's because they use more money than they can afford to lose so when they lose, they really lose that much money. They will not thinks about the risks that they gets from gambling because they feels have fun from gambling so that makes them keeps playing gambling without thinks about stops from playing gambling for a while. If they still do that, they will just lose more and more money and can't consider that gambling is just an entertainment.

Well, I didn’t really mean a school coach, but rather your second subconscious “I”, which does not exactly urge you to do what you don’t like, but on the contrary, inclines you to begin as quickly as possible those actions that bring you real pleasure.  But I won’t talk more about the comparison with the coach. 

But about the winning/losing series, it really always seems psychologically that the losing series lasts longer than one would like and what seems logical based on the “provable fairness algorithm,” while the winning series, on the contrary, lasts less.  If the casino is not cheating, it is logical to assume that they should be approximately equal, but this does not seem so obvious.  This is where the suspicion of fraud arises, which clearly spoils the entire process of your game.

They will not thinks about the risks that they gets from gambling because they feels have fun from gambling so that makes them keeps playing gambling without thinks about stops from playing gambling for a while. If they still do that, they will just lose more and more money and can't consider that gambling is just an entertainment.

The truth is that most gamblers assume that their $100 turns into $10,000. Having this kind of approach can't certainly make someone happy when losing, but instead desperation. If we never think that gambling is for entertainment at the start, it puts it in our minds that we can make a living from it. Unfortunately, gambling is not designed to be such a thing (a financial solution), which is why we have to stop assuming that through gambling we can have a better life and become rich because this is unlikely to happen. 

In fact, casinos always give us some warning not to spend too much and just gamble for fun.
