gambling for fun vs gambling for the financial benefit.

[Lida93]

Playing with family and friends that's where the real fun I think really lies in and nothing short of that. But when gambling against a sports betting company or casino the inclination to attaining fun won't be that much when you're not making some profits while gambling.

No one should depend on gambling as a source of reliable income as it's a game of luck and just like I have always said in the past you can't place your means of livelihood on an activity that the outcome is dominated by absolute luck and not by your level of skill or professionalism. If you're lucky to have a big win that's life changing endeavor to make good use of it in investing in your future because not all gamblers get so lucky in making a big win all their life they have been gambling.

(...)Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?

Simply separate that train of thought and not mix those thoughts together, everyone has their own decisions, and it is true that as long as actions are always responsible, everything will always be seen in the same light pleasant attitude.

I'm not someone who chooses to gamble for a living, but I understand that in this matter, there are both professional players and true addicts. Every nuance always appears in an issue so there is no need to impose on people how they should play. Perhaps the orientation helps them understand gambling as well as a sense of responsibility to reduce self harm their own lives.

I’m an odds guy and I see it like this. If you are gambling for fun, you’ll probably have something like a 95% success rate. If you are gambling for profit, you’ll probably have a 10% success rate. Each method gives you the same return financially. Choose wisely.

People from different cultures gamble for different reasons. While some bet for fun, others do it to win money.

Lots of people like to gamble because they can win. Being motivated by money can make gaming less fun and more like work.

Individuals differ in how much gaming they can handle before it becomes dull. It's more fun for some to watch or play gambling games with small bets. When game causes problems with money or makes you do things over and over again, profit may have won over fun.

Good gaming combines risk and fun with limits on time and money. To keep gaming as a fun activity and not a problem with money or addiction, you need to know when it becomes unhealthy.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?

Yes I see gambling as a means of fun and entertainment, gambling can't be a means of financial end as it doesn't give money to many individual. Alot of individual are losing to gambling everyday and it's only a few individuals that are benefiting from gambling due to their luck. Gambling shouldn't be depended on to provide you with income as when you depend on gambling, you're going to become an addict as you're gambling always to make money. It'll also make you chase after your losses.

There's no particular amount but when the entertainment parts of gambling leaves is when you start depending on gambling to make money that you'll use daily for your expenses. When you're over gambling, chasing after your losses when gambling. When you're doing this you have become an addict and that's when the entertainment part of gambling is gone. You can do all this with as little as $10 or smaller amounts.

If you're gambling for fun, it's like you don't think about the pursuit of income anymore, if you have that mindset, you can play well, there's no pressure, so you won't have a problem if you lose. You will be satisfied with the result, so there is a greater chance that you will not lose or lose a large amount of money,
Unlike gambling because you will expect money from winning, there is a pressure on yourself that you should win because that is the only reason why you gamble, When that happens, there is a high possibility that your money will run out and what's worse is that you go over your budget.

As long as it did not hurt my financial capacity then it's good but I think 1% to 5% is my limit to this other than that is not an option anymore as I can not  afford to spend more than my monthly income.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

Gambling is basically a means of entertainment for me. But this doesn't mean that I don't expect to money from my bets. I don't think anybody will out money in gambling without expecting a win, after all nobody wants to waste money. it is not also wrong to gamble for money but it becomes a problem when you depend on your wins for survival. When you budget to use your gamble wins even you have not won, it shows that you have started depending on gambling wins.

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?

The money I put into gambling depends on my income for the month. I budget a certain percentage of my monthly earnings on gambling, however, I don't exceed 5% of my income for the month.

At start gambling is for fun so in this way people loss all their happiness and money due to which they consider gambling as a financial benefit but that time he has no more money to do what he wants. Gambling is a bad addiction which is initiated with a smile but after spending whole money a man never smiles due to empty handed and no opportunity of earning.

If people are gambling with limited amount of money and during fixed day or time then it is just for fun but if someone is gambling 24 hours a day then it is an addiction not a fun. Fun ends when money ends therefore try to keep a limit on everything as excessive materials and excessive activities are toxic.

From beginning through a long process, people can change and from betting for fun, they can change to bet for rich. Very few people can control their action especially in activities that can help them to gain money, get rich. They will more probably think of getting rich and ignore all risk factors.

Gambling is a bad addiction which is initiated with a smile but after spending whole money a man never smiles due to empty handed and no opportunity of earning.

Gambling responsible is recommended but it is hard to practice it. Because with human body and mind, we is affected by a lot of hormones which can stimulate our greediness.

Like people think they are trading smartly with leverage and believe they will get rich by Leverage Trading while people who watch as outsiders will consider this action is like gambling which is true.

This is very reasonable and not strange, in my opinion, in fact it is like that, when people think that gambling is just for fun, they will not be too careless and play gambling recklessly, let alone irresponsibly, so everything is under good and correct control so that they can enjoy playing gambling and achieving the pleasure they want, usually they will consider the win as just a bonus at the end of the game, not a claim that must be obtained.

But it is very different from the average gambler who wants to gain financial benefits, usually they are too greedy and don't enjoy the game properly, they can't even control themselves and manage their emotions well, so they get emotional easily when playing so they play irresponsibly beyond the limits and are reckless. So in fact, that's what is happening now and I also feel it while gambling and being a gambler who only plays to find entertainment and have fun and get easier profits. I'm sure maybe everyone agrees with how I feel about gambling, although not everyone agrees with me. everyone has a different view.

[the rise]

everyone has a different view, especially those who have experienced great suffering because of gambling, if they have experienced suffering in their life because of gambling, and now they are gambling, they are just venting and considering gambling as their hobby, they don't expect anything from gambling because of their previous experience, but if the person who gambles has never experienced this, of course he will think he will make extra money in gambling.

Maybe culture has play some rule but what I think have big contribution there is what they expect about gambling since for that there's so many people fall in different category. There are people especially those newbies find those information about gambling from famous personality then been told about exaggerated result that they can earn easily that's why they gamble and expect a lot that they can earn a lot of money on short period of time. But result came out not in favor to them since they experience some worst situation that they didn't expect and lose the money they deposit on those gambling sites.

Also there are people gamble because they just don't care about other things and want to have fun playing their favorite games since they want to get entertained.

Individuals really have difference since we can see them have different aims towards their gambling activities.

To ensure that they would really have fun while gambling they should assure that they will never experience what you have written their and they should always manage their expectations.

I view gambling as a means to have fun. After being tired from work, a bad mood and confused thoughts can change after spending time in a gambling place. All the problems faced can disappear instantly after being in a pleasant atmosphere.
Gambling is not a place to seek instant wealth, if anyone still thinks gambling can provide wealth, then almost the majority of gamblers are rich now, but in reality there are many active gamblers who still have financial difficulties due to not being able to control their emotions when placing bets.

I don't know about what the rest of you could think about the pursue of money within the whole of gambling, but in my opinion there is a difference between trying to win money out of gambling and out of sport betting. In the first case it is indeed irresponsible to try to do so, because there is no real advantage one could have against the house, in the most of the occasion one will end up losing all of the backroll one intended to multiply.
On the other hand, I believe it would be plausible to try make money from time to time using sportbetting, since one is competing against the predictions of other players, instead of the house. Of course, the house takes money out of it by placing fees and other mechanisms, but still, I assume there are more chances to effectively make money out of precisions if one is good at technical and historical analysis of the teams.

But someone addicted to bet will also commit mistakes which could take them to being penniless by the end of their sessions, so betting regularly is not recommended either, and of course not using money which one is supposed to risk in such a manner. Perhaps many of you would disagree and think gambling and betting are basically the same, though. To me they are not.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

Until you see gambling as fun, you will not stop to think of gambling as means of survival. Many people see gamble as a means of survival but only just few sees it a fun to do. There is this game older men play in my country and whenever they are seated playing this game called draft, their atmosphere is always lively and fun to be. You see them interacting with each others sharing knowledge and ideas too.

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?

I would prefer not saying it but I would just as a matter of time be brief. It is advisable to put in funds according to your pocket so you do not feel the pains if after playing and losing everything. I have a certain percentage for which I always gamble with and it is personal. For the fun aspect to go above or be removed, then I so.not think I would likely do that. I gamble within my budget and I also gamble responsibly.

When we were young, watching football is really entertaining with our friends even though we didn't risking any money, but sometimes the loser get punishment.

But when we're get older, watching football isn't really entertaining anymore because you think why you need to wasting 90 minutes just to watch the match when you can use that time to study or work? but if you make a bet, you will feel entertain and don't think it's wasting your time to watch the match.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Casinos describe or define gambling as a recreational entertainment, and this simply means that, gambling is supposed to be mainly for fun, just same way we go to the movies, spend money on tickets, watch the movie and come out with nothing, this is same movie we could have comfortably watched in our house, but we spend money to go watch it else where.

This scenario is liken to gambling, even though gambling is better, I've always said that, I did rather gamble with the money than spend it to watch a movie in the theater, this is because, even though gambling is another end to having fun, it comes with the ability of making profit, and this profit making is why many people today no longer give attention to the fun part of gambling, but right now, everyone just wants to make money, making money through gambling should never be taken as the top priority, but the second instead, because, our struggle to make money through gambling is one of the causes of financial problems in many homes, which also is as a result of addiction to gambling.

So, for me, it's not a bad thing to want to make money through gambling, but then, it should not be our first choice or priority, gamble and have fun, when you lose, he happy still, and when you win, sing hallelujah and jubilate.

I don't have unbelievable ideas make gambling for the financial benefit, many gambler difficult to be success with gambling and I don't have interested gambling as the way for the financial profitable. Right now, gambling in my opinion as for fun only when stress in working and get pressure from the boss I use gambling platform as my way how to forget with pressure in my office working.
When huge amount winning in gambling I think is my luckiness and not really expected every gambling time win or earn much profitable than how much my capital deposit.
Check with all gambler reputation how many of them make gambling for the financial benefit because most of them take as for fun only and enjoying when having free time.
