gambling for fun vs gambling for the financial benefit.

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

You have to see it that way otherwise you'll lose your bankroll because your motivation is to make a profit and that involves chasing your losses, when money is your agenda in gambling you will face a lot of pitfalls and will eventually gamble money that you can't afford to lose and that's where the trouble begins

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?
For me, $100 is already a big amount I hope that I will be lucky so I will not lose that money it's more stressful playing with that amount and I will be pressured to try not to lose that money.

Because I am not an active gambler, my perspective on gambling is only for fun and not a suggestion for achieving financial goals. There is no gambling term that can provide better financial goals and perhaps only luck in the wins we get. Awareness of being involved in gambling will be based on how responsible we are and if we are unable to do so then gambling is not fun but an addiction.

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

I prefer to spend a small amount of capital to gamble and I don't do it regularly because as I said above, my gambling involvement is only for fun when I have free time. Maybe there will be a lot of different answers when you ask active gamblers because they have different perspectives on the gambling involvement they play.

I always gamble for FUN, since I mostly use Dplay lol. On the serious note, gambling for actual financial gain can be quite difficult and risky, and I would honestly not recommend it to anyone

We know, we also say that gambling is only for fun it's right. But in the end most of the gamblers I assume they do gamble for financial benefits. Once someone gambles for financial benefits and depends on gambling win/lose to livelihood means he is gambling-addicted.

for me personally, yes, it’s just a pleasant pastime and no more in 99% of cases and only 1 percent is about trying to make money, it’s betting on boxing, here i can already try to make money, but such events happen extremely rarely and if I’m confident in a boxer, in a sleepy one these are bets for football and other gambling, but I don’t spend a lot of money on games, it can be 5-10% of the total monthly budget, no more.

If it were easy for me to go through all the threads in which I have shared my thoughts with respect to the same topic, I could have done that and quoted each of them right here.
 
To sum everything up, I will say I see gambling as a means of fun and also as an opportunity to increase the fund at hand. If the opportunity to win and increase what I'm going to spend is not going to be available, then there is no point in gambling with money in the first place. I can just play video games with my friends or use casinos that offer free tokens for testing and experiencing what they have to offer.
 
The earning aspect is not being taken too seriously, as I already have other means of earning, but I can't deny the fact that I still desire to win, and the claim is only for fun, which will be me trying to lie to myself about something I truly know the truth about.

Gambling should not be treated for fun purposes or means to end the financial crisis.

In a much simpler context, you will need to take risks in gambling hoping and expecting a preferred result. Therefore only by chance to get that desired result. What needs to be put at risk? Our Money, cash, anything valuable, etc. Just for the sake of fun, we will risk our money? On the part of treating gambling to end financial problems, they will use the left money to gamble. Can't imagine what will happened if all those money will be wrecked in the process.

[SmartGold01]

As gambling is concerned people can be too practical by saying it's for fun without knowing that what mostly drives people into gambling is the profit they benefits from it and believe me or not there will be limited people to gamble If they noticed there is no money coming out from gambling. I will sincerely speak that nowadays nobody gambles for fun everyone is looking for a way to double their income and therefore would try as much as possible to also place some bet whether their luck could be activated through gambling.

[Stepstowealth]

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.

The gamblers for money will be more than the gamblers for fun. but 90% is really high.

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

These are the kinds of people that will grumble at paying bills in a fancy restaurant they took themselves to, or even willnever give themeselves the pleasure of experiencing some kinds of pleasure or leisure. Gambling is like paying to have fun, which is very common.

[Jegileman]

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.

Often times, this is what is being said about gambling in this forum, should be considered as gambling for fun and not for the financial benefit attached to it. I don’t believe this even though this is what everyone is saying about gambling. If there was no financial benefit attached to gambling, a lot of people will not gamble today. Where is the fun there when you’ll be losing money and not gain anything back after spending your time in it. This is just a general say but the real facts about gambling is that; everyone that is into gambling is gambling to earn more money. Even the celebrities and elites that do gamble huge amount of money do all that to increase their total wealth.

This is a question that has generated different circles of discussion and it will be an unending debate since different people gamble for different reasons and the reason is dependent on the personal preference of the gambler. No doubt, the majority gamble for the aim of making money but then, there are very few who don't approach gambling with such a mindset and it is only the rich that fall into this category.

The above statement is imperative as it will make us understand that our opinion on this argument has nothing to do with the preference of the gambler. However, I gamble to make money because I don't have the financial prowess to gamble for fun but then, I realized that even though I gamble to make money I still have fun sometimes gambling.

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

The fun in gambling is lost as soon as 70% of a gambler's income is lost in gambling. Whether rich or poor, when more than one's earnings is lost in gambling, it can only create the opposite of fun, which is pain. The reason why it is widely acceptable that only the rich can gamble for fun is because the rich have the resources and can lose a fraction of it without having to worry but then, when the rich gamble with so much money which amounts to 70% of his overall wealth and lose, it can no longer be fun. He will cry like the poor.

True, interest wouldnt be there considering that there's no money involved or they could make money. Whether we do like it or not, this is how this world works on which interest would really be
simply revolving if money is involved. This is why it would really be that best that you should really know on how it should be dealt with and not really raising up those expectations and anticipations that
you would really be able to make money easily with gambling on which this is really just that different. This is why it would really be that important that you shouldnt really
really be expecting too much in gambling on making money, it is really just that for the sake of fun but people do really fail on doing so but rather doing
the opposite thing.

It's also called a game, and the name game means just having fun and just entertainment. And only fools think that gambling is a place to make money/profit and multiply wealth. And by considering gambling as a form of entertainment, it can help us reduce the pressure to make financial gains. And this will obviously turn gambling into a recreational experience from an endeavor for profit. Realistically in understanding gambling, the results of gambling are often influenced by luck and most people who join the world of gambling, most of whom often experience losses in the long term. So I assume that gambling is not an activity that can be expected to provide profits every time we gamble.

By viewing gambling as a responsible form of entertainment, it is likely that we will be better able to enjoy the gambling experience without putting ourselves under unnecessary financial stress. However, it is very important to always maintain balance and be responsible when carrying out gambling activities, because if not, everything will turn into losses and regrets.

[Vaculin]

To be honest, gambling isn’t fun anymore if you keep losing from it. While it’s good to say that gambling is originally designed to bring us fun, but we can’t deny that majority of us are seeing it as an additional source of income. Even myself, I would be lying if I didn’t tell that I’m gambling for profits, but as much as I can, I want to gamble for fun and it would be a bonus already if I’m already making profits from it. Hence, we should gambling responsibly all the time.

Why not both? I mean if you really love that sport that you even play with it and at the same time you can make a bet for your favorite team or player, I think winning over it would be just an extra for you having fun but sure it involves both. As I've said you don't have to sacrifice the fun just to say you're earning out of it, you can let it stay with the chance of winning some money.

If I put more than I've budgeted then I don't find fun anymore in gambling except such game is won and then I can say the risk was worth it therby bringing the fun back so at that point the fun is dependent on the outcome of the game I had played earlier, anything so at that point I don't consider gambling just fun but business.

I personally see gambling both as fun and for financial to up and this is relative to what's at risk at the moment but then I still make sure not to take unnecessary risk so as not to get to the point of depression or been sad due to losses I suffer from the loss is any of the game just Incas I lose any of such games. But then I make sure to to be too financially dependent on the exception of the gambling proceeds but rather gamble for fun more often than I do for the financial benefits but it's still doesn't take away the expectancies.

Exactly! Many people are being hyprocrites or gamblers, saying they are doing gambling just for fun so they can't be called addicted or hoping for financial benefit from gambling. Honestly, I would say I'm not hoping to win in a gamble as long as I'm enjoying it, because I don't want to hope and expect so that it wouldn't hurt if, for instance, I still don't win anything at the end of the day. But it's not that I waste money for fun or entertainment; I allocated a budget wherein no matter what happens in my gambling session, that money will not affect my financial state, more like that money is meant for gambling, so either I win or not, it doesn't matter.

Of course I'm a human too; sometimes I feel frustration, but it's normal. As long as I can maintain myself by using only the allocated money from Ganblin, it's alright. So yeah, gambling can be both fun and a financial benefit; it will depend on the gamblers how they implement it for themselves.

[Onyeeze]

Many people are contradictory gambling and also gambling is something that we don't do without having the thought of benefiting from it whoever that said gambling is for entertainment or gambling is for fun I think that person is misquoting gambling because the average use that participate in gambling almost everyday and the every hour they do so because they want to benefit they need money that is why whenever they lose in gambling they became pissed off or upset whosoever that said by it plays gambling because of fun I think that person is lying or he's saying on true for people who participate and also acknowledge gambling as a source of revenue

[Slow death]

In my case, I bet on sports for fun and also to make money and extend my gaming time. for example, when I deposit 20$ at the casino and I know that those 20$ are for 1 month and I won't put in more money if I lose before another month starts, so I make a lot of effort so that with each bet I make, I can get it right and make a profit, because in my opinion, although gambling should be seen as fun, this does not mean that a person should keep putting money in casinos and play games that he knows nothing about and lose. I don't see things that way, in my opinion people should value their money, and one way to value their money is that when they deposit money in a casino

Even if they get it into their heads that the money they are depositing in the casino is to have fun, they still have to work hard to win more and that money becomes bigger, no one likes to lose, say that someone lost 20 games and won nothing and this person had fun, I think it's absurd. So people play to win, even if they don't win money, winning is something rewarding and in casinos we all look for victories, consequently when we win a lot the money in our account increases considerably. There's nothing wrong with people playing games thinking about making money, the problem will be if the person keeps playing too much to the point of forgetting that there is life in the real world and that you shouldn't use money to pay bills and put it into games . If the person has discipline and good bankroll management, then the person can play thinking about making a profit and there will be no problem.

I have always understand gambling as an unpredictable and risky game which has made me never to think of to depend in gambling for financial support.  I think gambling should be played just to have fun and never to take it serious to make steady income from it. The mindset of how people see gambling really matters a lot , when their is a wrong mindset toward gambling you will just assume that gambling can be a form of gaining financial support. Since gambling is a game of lose and win, this should be the reason why people need to be careful with manner how they gambling because anything can happen. Their is no guarantee that winning will take place in every in gambling,  this is why gambling needs to be considered as a game of fun.
