Is there any fun in losing while gambling

[Sandra_hakeem]

Sometimes we become more ambiguous when we say that whether the pleasure is because of getting money, or it is because of the victory that is obtained[...]

So, if I may ask; what's the ambiguity in that? What's this victory you speak of? When a person is able secure a win is what you refer to as "victory"?

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.

$5 for the month? What's that even enough for? Lol... It's in a very rare case that a gambler would stick to his bankroll, as little as $5.. if it's a crypto casino, that's not even enough for a one time stake.
Anyone could train themselves to not allow their loses to reflect in their emotions, but in situations that people don't seem to understand these principles, it become even more horrifying.

Gamblers are usually happy when they win, while they may not see any effects of gambling in them, but losses can make them visible these effects. If the gambler gambles for fun there is no negative effect on him even if he loses. But it seems to me that all gamblers who bet big amounts never take gambling as a center of fun. They consider gambling not as a pleasure but as a source of financial income. When they lose gambling they fall very fast. But I agree with many that we can't lose gambling but if we can manage our gambling within a certain level it can protect us from big losses. There are many gamblers who do not expect to win much from gambling. The biggest challenge for them is to protect themselves from big losses.

It is right if gamblers will be happy if they win because that will be a good moment for them to enjoy their winning. But many people lose in gambling and that is normal if they becomes sad and desperate looking their lose. If they know that gambling can gives losses to them, they should not trying to use much money to playing gambling instead will limits their money to prevents the lose.

All gamblers who playing gambling must understand that when they lose, that will not gives fun to them so if they don't want to becomes sad and desperate, they must avoids the big lose. They must use the money they can afford to lose to prevents the big lose and the sadness because they are losing their money. We must realizes that we will difficult to win in gambling so we just use limitation to enjoy playing gambling.

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

Thank you very much for the information given, and it is still a great help to me. It is also good that you mentioned this matter here, mate. Let me, and I will also follow your advice. It was only here that I found out about this wallet that you made an OP.

Actually, I have tried to use it recently, if only for temporary use. It seems to be okay; it seems to be similar to electrum apps, although the only difference is that there are other cryptocurrencies that can be used, while in electrum it is not; instead, it is really just bitcoin. .

If a gambler limits his deposit, it minimizes his losses, but do not forget that it also minimizes the possible winnings. And from this directly depends on the emotional component of gambling. Agree that it is difficult enough to experience a storm of positive emotions when your bet is minimal. Therefore, we all try to find the golden mean, but the deposit limit is something that should be used by every gambler if he strives to be responsible.

All matters with self control and discipline of a certain gambler on which there would really be those individuals who would really be having that kind of control and moderation when it comes into their deposits when they do play gambling. It would really be that suggested and would really be that recommended that you should really be having that kind of budgeting when it comes to money or bank roll specially if we do speak about gambling on which it would really having sense that moderation and control is something you must need for you to be able to skip out.Losing is never been fun and it would never be, even if you would really be telling into yourself that you are really that playing for fun but on the moment that you would be losing then it would really be that an another story.
It would really be something that you would be making yourself impulsive and would really be making yourself that desperate. So it would really be that on your personal choice on how you do things.

When doing gambling then you should really that make yourself having that kind of control whether you would be winning or losing then its neither you would really be that accepting
on the time or moment that you would be having that winning or losing condition.We do know that when it comes to this aspect on which people are really that emotional
on which some could control but majority will really be that getting impulsive.

All gamblers who playing gambling must understand that when they lose, that will not gives fun to them so if they don't want to becomes sad and desperate, they must avoids the big lose. They must use the money they can afford to lose to prevents the big lose and the sadness because they are losing their money. We must realizes that we will difficult to win in gambling so we just use limitation to enjoy playing gambling.

In addition to this, they must be aware of the fact that not always we are too lucky, most of the time we are too unlucky and incur losses. We can't avoid losses if we are still gambling, but that is not a big deal if we know our position and deeply understand what gambling looks like. But if we are too blind not to see reality and assume that gambling makes us rich, I don't think this kind of gambler can be happy when losing but certainly mad and raise complaints.
 
Gambling is a game of luck, and those who always think of winning will never find it enjoyable, but this gives them a reason to think that gambling is so unfair. 

[AbuBhakar]

Gambling is a game of luck, and those who always think of winning will never find it enjoyable, but this gives them a reason to think that gambling is so unfair. 

So do we need to think about losing? Thinking about winning is one thing that makes you happy when gambling because it gives you hope to play. Without the positivity will make your gambling experience too dull because you always think that you will lose always.

What’s wrong is to expect a consistent profit in the game that makes you pursue it even though you are already out of budget. It’s important to have limits on what you will use in gambling but that doesn’t mean you should stop being positive about winning.

[Dewi Aries]

That's right, the main point is that as a gambler it is mandatory for us to have the ability to accept the risk of losing, because as you said that no matter what we will never be able to completely avoid what is called defeat, defeat is part of the game, so one of the keys to being able to avoid emotions that can trigger various aggressive actions, then clearly risk acceptance must be prioritized or must be owned by a gambler.

Don't let us become a loser who only wants to win but is not ready to experience defeat. On the other hand, as you suggest, gambling must be done with great care, which of course is very important so that every action and decision can be measured or the intention is not beyond our capabilities. Caution can perhaps be called the key to long-term safety

There are lot of gambler who doesn't have this aspect in their pipeline that one must not always win in gambling hence, the losing rate extremely high even higher than winning ratio which every gambler must experienced while gambling. But as you mentioned, when gambling with the soul purpose of having fun and gambling with the amount that can be riskable it could be very hard for you to have that feeling of lost while gambling because already you knew is a 50/50 game.

Yes and maybe I would say that they are losers who always have high hopes for victory but do not want or are not ready to accept the fact of defeat, and what you said is true that the percentage of defeat is much greater than victory, and that is why acceptance related to risk must be more prepared than focusing too much on victory, but unfortunately losers will never know this, and even if they hear about the fact they still will not believe it.

On the other hand I will say about one of the reasons why we must be more prepared to accept the possibility of risk is because the first percentage of defeat is much greater than victory and this is why defeat occurs more often than victory, and the other reason is that we will never be able to choose not to experience defeat at all, because after all it will always be part of the game, so you will never be able to reject the fact. And one of the advantages of having the intention and goal just to have fun is because you will not feel too emotional if you lose when your goal is not to make money and the second is that the amount of your defeat will not be too significant.

Gamble with self-control. Its required. If you cant manage yourself, gambling is hard.

Budgeting matters. You may restrict your losses and play within your limits with this simple method. Smart method that demonstrates you comprehend gambling's unpredictability.

Its emotional to gamble. However, mindfulness and moderation can turn it into a tool for self-discipline and progress. Buddhism says detachedness and the middle path can help you achieve serenity after losses.

Be aware that gambling goes beyond winning and losing. About understanding chance and how you react to it. The voyage can deepen self-knowledge.

Sometimes we become more ambiguous when we say that whether the pleasure is because of getting money, or it is because of the victory that is obtained[...]

So, if I may ask; what's the ambiguity in that? What's this victory you speak of? When a person is able secure a win is what you refer to as "victory"?

It can be seen from the orientation of pleasure itself, whether because of winning or because of getting money, although basically winning must get money and getting money is the same as getting a win, but try to see using a magnifying glass. Do you feel happy in gambling because you get the winnings from your bets or get money from the bets you make.

Simply put someone can get a win without having to make a bet, such as a prediction match or a game match with your friend and you can win the game or your prediction on the match, it will give pleasure to the person who wins without the property that is sacrificed.

[Hirose UK]

Yes what you said is true and fun is not about winning or losing but about the situation we get from the game, we consider defeat as just payment for the entertainment that can be obtained.
This is good attitude to apply and that way there will be no disappointment that might make gambler lose control, they will make everything and the results of gambling the last point because their priority is to play for fun.

But unfortunately very few gamblers think like that, most still consider victory as everything, they make the ambition for victory happy achievement.
All of this is what makes gamblers unable to really enjoy gambling, they only focus on winning without realizing that entertainment and pleasure in playing are things that must be obtained.

maybe we should distinguish between satisfaction and pleasure obtained from gambling.
all gamblers will be happy when they get a win, but not with a loss. but gamblers can also get satisfaction when they feel enough when in the game.

only victory can make gamblers happy. while losses will only bring regret and maybe anger. still, gamblers will focus on winning when playing, no one really has fun with betting.

Definition of satisfaction is when someone succeeds in getting or fulfilling what they want, this will be like feeling of happiness towards an achievement.
Moreover, everything will return to the initial goals of entering gambling, this will be very fundamental to what we can get from doing gambling activities.
One thing I will explain again is when the goal of gambling is to entertain ourselves, then if we have finished the game happily and don't care about winning or losing, then we will definitely feel satisfaction and pleasure.
All this happens because we only aim to entertain ourselves, please ourselves and of course have prepared the money that is willing to be lost and will not regret it if we lose.
Indeed, most gamblers only focus on winning, but look, there are small number who really don't care about all that.

I don’t know if you made a wrong qoute and  I’m just trying to draw your attention to the qoute as my post wasn’t about wallets or bitcoin directly but rather about gambling and judging from your post, it seems you’re actually talking about something wallet related and I had to reread my op to know if I was missing out something but not me and it will be wise you recheck your qoute and qoute it correctly so you can get the necessary information and answer you desire esoecaulky as it’s about wallet and assets and I’m sure no one will be happy to lose money this period especially for a mistake that could be avoided.

A person who gambles for fun will still get pleasure even if he loses. This is different from gamblers who make gambling as a source of income. They will not be able to accept defeat because they want to make money from their bets. That is why someone must understand that in gambling someone will lose and win. Even most of the gambling results are losses. You can check someone's betting history and you will find the fact that someone can have a loss rate of up to 80%.

It is doubtful to hear that a player can enjoy losing, no one likes to lose, losing always brings disappointment, even if the bet amount is insignificant for the player. Another thing is if for a player gambling is a way to distract himself from other concerns, but this is definitely not entertainment, it is a search for stronger emotions, that can switch attention to something else, for a while. And those players who can earn money in gambling are very few, I think only a few percent of the total number of players.

Players who use gambling to forget their current life situation are like some alcoholics. They may end up in compulsive gambling because they wouldn't want to face reality. Being this type of gambler can be very risky. Yet, many players fall into this category and quickly get disappointed when gambling isn't favorable. Imagine if they begin to feel sad over their losses. That means the player won't have any other activity to run to when having a bad day.

Yes and I think it is indeed a fact that will be felt by everyone, basically the fun is always about getting money in any case, and of course not losing anything and not winning anything is much better than we lose, although I understand that gambling is always a risky activity, in the sense that losing will always be part of the game but still if the question is whether there is fun or not in a losing situation I think it is clear that disappointment will always be something that is definitely felt even though you are basically a responsible gambler.

On the other hand, I seem to agree with you in responding to this, although I understand that gambling is quite fun and the purpose of gambling for entertainment and having fun is indeed recommended but of course it does not mean that you will be completely free from the possibility of losing, or what I mean is even though you gamble with the aim of entertainment then at least you will definitely experience losing money even though in small amounts.

So actually the purpose of gambling for entertainment and pleasure is just a diversion or a better way than gambling with the aim of making money, meaning if you have other things or other activities that you can choose to divert your attention from other problems that you experience in life then it is clearly better to make that an alternative for you to choose.

Majority of gamblers are alcoholic, drug takers, smokers and so on, specially for the gamblers who partronize land based casinos more, a gambler who is any of this mentioned substances will always run to it anytime gambling fails him or her, it's that simple..

But for the gambler who isn't into any of such, but have treated gambling as a means of getting away from their life issues, this is indeed not good because, when ever gambling fails to make them excited, maybe because they have lost money they really did not plan to lose, then it's dangerous because such a gambler may likely fall into depression, which could lead to alot of health related issues and even suicide if the depression is not attended to on time..

I also faced depression because of my losses, but they were not too big, but enough for me to start thinking and rethinking my game and the goal of the game for me in general. After that, I took a long break and realized that gambling should not be perceived as a goal for big money, but as easy entertainment without huge bets. Therefore, at the moment, games cannot affect me, even if there are several losses in a row, I will not win back. But I will not get pleasure from this either. I do not even understand who can get pleasure from losing at all, probably only one player, the one who knows 100% that the next bet will be a winner and will cover all his expenses up to that point.

That's why I always say that you can't gamble if everything is bad in life. You need to deal with problems and solve them, not run away from them. Yes, casinos try to convince the player that by playing he can win a huge amount of money, and thus solve all his problems, but the chance is so small that it is stupid to believe in it. I think that all problems can be solved if you admit them and try to somehow discuss them with your loved ones. They will help with advice, and running away to the casino, spending your last money is a decision of cowardly people.

Humans are always like that, we seek after fun and happiness that can make us excape from our immidate pains and displeasure which is why gambling is term as fun based activities, this is what have become the pennacle of the desires to gamble, alcohol addictions on the other hand has a different perspective and goals and it termed a disorder since those that are addicted to alcohol consume the suptance and act on their Physics.

Gambling on the other hand has nothing like that except for the lose of money whicheon it own has no physical effects because losing money is what everyone can lose at anytime,  it then when I lose money most especially when gambling with cryptocurrency like bitcoin I always feel discomfort when the losses happens and also be super happy when I win also, so regardless of what the outcome of the bet could be, I am always satisfied to know that I am not gambling outside my set goals and budget.
