gambling for fun vs gambling for the financial benefit.

[slapper]

You say 90% of your neighbors gamble? That statistic warns against optimism. The nature of gambling turns into a hazardous beast when the primary goal is money desperation rather than fun. The house always wins (mathematics, not pessimism). Casinos and betting platforms thrive on spectacular wins and endless losers. Most people cannot sustain a living from gambling. And emotionally? Losses can erase the joy of a win. Hope and despair fuel a cycle that often leads to addiction. Supporting healthy gambling entails acknowledging its limits as entertainment. You should stick to a small amount of your discretionary money as a budget. To balance fun and risk in gambling, draw the line there.

The "job" mentality further strips away the joy. Gambling as a duty, not a hobby, sucks the life out of every spin, every card dealt. It becomes a relentless pursuit of elusive wins, not a chance encounter with fortune. Rich gamblers, on the other hand, often approach it differently. Their bets are a sprinkle on the cake, not the entire dessert. Their wealth isn't built on risky wagers, but on legitimate endeavors. They gamble because they can afford to, because it's a fleeting thrill, not a desperate lifeline.

This is a crucial point for those who gamble out of need. Money should be a tool for living, not a fuel for gambling fires. It's a valuable reminder that sustainable wealth rarely blossoms on the roulette table. Building a secure future requires effort, dedication, and exploring avenues beyond the fickle embrace of chance.

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.

It is a big mistake to consider gambling as a means of survival because if you calculate the percentage in it, very few people are successful in gambling, let alone making consistent profits. There are people who love to gamble until they are old and they have small groups whenever they want to gamble for fun. But until now I have never seen gambling as a means of survival because that would cause problems about how they handle finances.

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.

A different perspective and maybe because I'm not very good at gambling it will be quite difficult to give a brief explanation about betting on football. The similarity may be that I also gamble according to a small budget every time I play and it is not consistent every day because for me gambling is not a step that needs to be pursued but just to have fun and get rid of boredom at work.

[Belarge]

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.

We have desires and we ought to become serious when dealing with our problems, the goal is to become financially stable and not with gambling. People that involves in gamble are mostly the ones that are facing financial challenges, they developed the mindset of difficulty and they become very desperate for more money. We gamble for various reasons, I've witnessed some tough time in the system and this have become a regular scenario that repeats if we don't learn our lessons. Gambling can very utilized for fun or survival, it's all traceable to the gambler.

usually a gambler, gambling is for fun for pleasure only, not for a job or for a source of income. because even an expert gambler can lose. so if there is no work elsewhere, aka full gambling for work, it is very risky for his economic situation.

Most people opt for gambling considering the financial benefits and in fact very few people prefer gambling as entertainment.
In my view, all the young generation who are participating in gambling are attracted to Zora from the perspective of making money from gambling. A large part focuses solely on gambling to achieve economic solvency based on gambling.
There are a handful of recreational gamblers who participate in gambling purely for entertainment purposes and entertainment is their main goal while monetary income is not the main goal. All these gamblers can stop themselves from gambling at any time under any circumstances.

[moneystery]

i see gambling more as a means of entertainment that can improve a person's mood. this is reasonable because we cannot make gambling a financial means because someone's chances of winning at gambling are not high and it depends on one's luck. and that is what makes us unable to consider gambling as a place to make money.

if someone wants to use gambling as a means to a financial end, maybe they can get involved in it as a casino owner or a referral who can refer people and make a profit from it. in this way, maybe someone can get a stable income from gambling, but if they become a player, this may be very difficult to achieve.

[Mauser]

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?

For me gambling is an activity I follow for fun and not for the financial benefit. Any money that I make from gambling is nice to have but never my main goal. When I first started out I was focused much more on the financial aspect of gambling, but didn't have any consistent success. Now I am much happier with only gambling for fun and take any profit that comes as a bonus. Even in poker where the main benefit is making consistent profits, I am not looking at it as a form to make money. For me it's a card game that I enjoy to play for fun and would still do so if there was no more money involved. I am a micro stakes gambler, I like to play with very small betting sizes because I gamble so much. Instead of placing big bets, I would rather keep gambling for another hour. So I am comfortable with a bankroll of 100 USD, more than that is unnecessary.

[ethereumhunter]

Gambling is just for fun, although many people use gambling as a place to make money, including using sports betting to win some money. They will continue to place bets until they win a lot of money and many of them continuously train their analytical skills so they can predict which team will win. It cannot be denied because they also see that several people can win a lot of money from sports betting, which makes them want to try their analytical skills by placing these bets. But if they use gambling as a way to make money, they should think again because it is not easy. They have to get more information to analyze all the information to find the right team to win some money.

[Barikui1]

Actually in my neighborhood we don't gambles for fun that much, we only gambles for fun when we are with friends, when we are just trying to know who is more lucky, but majority of people in my neighborhood, do it because they need money, and no body that's in need of money will gambles fun. I can still recall a day I place a bet with a huge amount of money because I was seriously in need of money, at that point, I was doing it because I need money, though I lot the bet, and I really feel the impact of the loss on my finance, so it all boils down to which category you find yourself in.

Yes that's right, most people see gambling only from one side and that is the aspect of the possibility of winning which of course they think that winning will be able to improve their financial situation, simply put they think that they will be able to get rich instantly just by gambling, the number of gamblers who end up with addiction by experiencing many problems especially in their finances is one of the reasons as you said that more people come with the aim of earning than just looking for entertainment or fun, I understand that gambling provides a chance of winning but on the other hand most people do not see the other side such as other possibilities that will obviously occur more often and are very likely to dominate such as the possibility of risk that in the end this is what they experience.

However gambling is not a place to earn because there is absolutely no element of consistency in it and everything always runs randomly along with without any certainty, and this is the reason that makes gambling really not recommended and does not make sense to be used as a place to earn, if you remain stubborn with the belief of earning then go ahead after all you yourself will feel how bad the impact will be.

If you are really that making it as a job then this would really be the greatest mistake that you would really be doing into your life on which its never been that considerable on doing such thing on which we know that gambling could never really fit out into that kind of category because it is really just that intended for the sake of entertainment and fun and not for making money or a living with it. This is why it would really be always best that you should really be at least having those realizations first before you would really be finding yourself that being too optimistic towards gambling on making profits or money with it. Financial benefit? This is where we do usually make out those kind of assumptions on which this causes for you to expect that too much.

Gambling should really be just that for fun and not for making money because once you do have that kind of intellect and assumptions then it would really be just that making you desperate
and this is something which is really that very bad for you to have on which you should really be watching out with that and make yourself wary at least
into those things on which you are assuming that it could really be happening.

[Juse14]

So that my gambling activities remain safe and run well without causing other negative impacts, I try to maintain the view that gambling is for fun and just entertainment, not a place to make a profit. But I have to admit, when I got a win that was quite large, which I had never imagined before, the view that gambling was for fun slowly faded and often pushed me to behave stupidly by continuing to seek profits from the gambling I did. Sometimes this win can make me more confident in placing a bet and there is no hesitation when betting a large enough amount because I continue to think that luck is on my side. So it is quite difficult to survive with the view that gambling is just for fun and entertainment. But I also can't expect too much from gambling, because it has been proven that the last few bets I have made have only resulted in losses.

[Yatsan]

Well there are people who are actually gambling for fun but for sure they're just a few. Most of us here are gambling to gaain profit and there's nothing wrong with it as long as you can manage negative consequences of gambling. On my end, I find gambling enjoying and entertaining however I cannot disregard the idea of gaining profit simply because I am preventing loss tendency. Many gambler can afford losing tolerable amount but of course no one wants to lose when money is considered. One good example is watching sports versus engaging in sports betting. Both are entertaining however more emotions are involved with sports betting given that wrong guess could yield to loss unlike with just watching wherein you'd only determine if your prediction is either correct or wrong.

Mostly, those who are just enjoying gambling are ones which "cannot think of ways to get rid of their money" because they are the ones who are just killing their time and not minding the loss. However there are also instances that gamblers are enjoying gambling even if they are often losing simply because they can endure the amount they are losing. But if it is for sole purpose of betting then that is for sure financial benefits.

Even the broke sometimes gamble for fun, i'v seen a broke guy doing such so it's not everyone who's facing financial challenges that involves in gambling, some people who has got financial challenges do not even gamble, it will be much better if you put your statement better or probably narrow it to a set of persons and that way it could be seen as okay than generalizing it, I know there are many out there who are hoping to settle their financial challenges gambling but only a few succeed in successfully solving their financial needs gambling.

For fun purposes gambling can actually be very helpful but if done excessively then it could rather turn a problem to gambler and sometimes the people around him as they may not be able to

[Blitzboy]

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.

Your view on the unpredictability of gambling as a career is insightful and important for gamblers. Since gambling is a game of chance and skill is irrelevant, we should avoid it for revenue. The emphasis on wise windfall utilization is emotional because its a chance to protect one's future and provide gamblers hope in an uncertain road.

Your post encourages community dialogue about gambling and reminds us that it should be enjoyed in moderation. By prioritizing fun over profit, we provide a healthier, more rewarding gambling experience. We can all encourage a culture of responsible gambling that values the excitement of the game and human connections.

Actually the whole process what ever you say the whole system in gambling is all about money. The whole industry is based on money. So it is normal that gambling can be also for financial benefit. But in the mean time we also should not forget the first purpose of gambling. It should be always for fun whenever people takes it for only financial benefit then they will be in danger situation.

That's right, indeed the whole gambling process is only about the money we bet on each game we play and there will also be winners and losers in the game, but if we gamble only looking for financial gain in gambling, of course we won't be able to enjoy it. every game and it will be difficult to focus when playing which results in us losing in gambling and if we can consider the gambling we play just for fun in the games we play of course this will be very good because we will be able to control ourselves when gambling and we will not gamble continuously.

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?

The contents of this title are contradictory, but the essence and elements remain the same, IMO. Basically, we all bet with money and for money. however, in reality gambling is not just money which is always the main part. in gambling, we are presented with the features provided by the Casino platform. you only choose what you like, are happy with, you can even explore according to the mood you feel when you want to gamble. in it, there is entertainment that can make you have fun with it. But never forget, that there is a portion of risk that you are ready to accept. either you lose, or you are lucky with your win. as for the points you have bolded, in essence it all depends on your choice. also, how do you define gambling itself. in essence, it is your mind that plays and conceptualizes it. so, you create your own choice of how gambling is for you. what is certain is that everyone has their own perspective on gambling. the question you ask, should be your question too.

For me personally, as fun. however, that doesn't mean I don't like money and want to get it. that's why, gamble in areas that you really understand, especially if you like them. that way, you won't overthink. I mean if you want to achieve financially, all you do is create jobs, do business and so on. because it is more promising. but if you want to have fun, for example I like football. I got it, from the impressions presented. and not only that, I get pleasure from doing research and analysis. For me, this is an art in gambling, if my prediction is correct it is a sign that I am getting a bonus from something fun. If otherwise, what can you do, that's the risk, it's as simple as that. my question is, why do we often complicate it.

[o48o]

I have read a lot of thread on this board talking about the need to gamble responsibly and suggesting that gambling is meant to be done for fun and not to be seen as a means of livelihood. While this is theoretically alright, in the reality so many persons actually gamble because they want to get some financial top up from the gamble.

What is mostly common in my neighborhood and that I mostly do is soccer betting and if I am not exaggerating, 90% of the people that do soccer betting do do because they want to win money.

They can watch the match for fun but as long as it involved them paying money before gambling, most persons don't normally see it as fun and this is the reason why after placing a particular bet, if the game isn't successful they continue betting hoping to get a win along the way thervy being seen as addict.

Saying it should be for fun doesn't mean it shouldn't have financial incentives. If gambling wouldn't have any decent financial incentives, it most likely would not be popular at all.

People like me, who say it should be for fun, mean that when the fun is taken out of it, and gamblers do it merely for financial gains, similar to work. And because of that it's harder to accept losses. They see it as working for money and somehow reality owes them a salary for it at some point. If they don't get it, they star to blame casinos that they must be rigged. These people can be playing other people's money, or lending money for gambling. It's not fun anymore, but compulsive, and only way up.

We should be able to be happy about winning big, as we should be ready to accept the loss. That can be only achieved if we keep gambling as fun past time, instead of work.

When looking for money and financial freedom, there are some places you do not just knock, gambling is one of them. Although one can still make money in gambling but we should never have the mindset that we want to make money in gambling (desperation), or else, we will be betrayed, disappointed and become more desperate after slipping into a confused state. But for fun, gambling is a very good alternative, you can plan your free time fun with it, and it can also kill your boredom for you especially when movies and other hobbies have tired you. You can switch to gambling which I believe would do the job very well as you have a lot of options you can choose from from the gambling platform. In doing this, I urge the bettor to ensure that a very small amount of money is committed to it, if not, money would have been wasted unnoticed especially if the gambler loses too much than he wins.

At times too, you might just have that neutral mindset about gambling and nevertheless still lucky to win big. Just know that it's your luck, and that is the mindset I love to play and win my gambling on the casinos with. Anything outside this can put the gamblers in trouble as this is a risky activity with no means to guarantee your winnings but can make sure that you have more losses if you can't plan and control yourself while dealing with it.
