Do people truly risk their money on bets for profit?

[hedgeh0g]

Of course, many people want to win a lot of money and believe that this will certainly happen and they will win so much that their grandchildren will have it. But it is precisely from such players with such fantastic thoughts that gambling establishments make money. Without risk, it is impossible to win huge sums, unless we bet on many events and guess the winners in these matches, but this will be real luck, which only happens with a very small number of players. So to a large extent, the OP's statement is true. As a matter of fact, this is all that gambling houses need so that players risk large sums of money every time, and the whole business is built on this.

Gamble is just another option to all gamblers it's up to you for making your own choices on what to do with it, I mostly gamble for profits but not addicted same time I risk what I can afford to lose and other gamblers gamble for entertainment because they needs something to entertain themselves with. It's funny how people get addicted to things, as a gambler who's chasing loses you are risking your career as well, because you won't get what you are looking forward to get. If you risk you also think of winning and you might not win because you are chasing your losses. your mindset of winning a bet shouldn't be more than %20.

Gambling is used by people in different fields but everyone's objective is to win because winning is always fun.  When someone plays games without gambling, they still try to win the game. because losing is never fun. And when one gambles, one must take the risk of gambling because no matter how much a gambler is addicted to gambling, even if they have the desire to win big, they also know that they can lose in gambling. so everyone must have to accept the gambling risk

The appetite for risk comes during the game, although usually at the beginning many of the players think that they will play just a little, but it gets sucked in and the player wants to get more intense sensations, which can only be achieved by increasing the risk. Surely many people have noticed that after betting $10, betting $1 or $2 is not at all interesting.

I am also interested in the fact that if suddenly a player is lucky and makes money after taking a huge risk, he may not calm down. Although from the outside it seems that there is nothing better than stopping the game, but the player is already so happy and under adrenaline he continues to take risks, he begins to like the very fact of this, it follows that they take risks not only for money.

Placing a big bet can lead to big wins but it is a big risk and this risk cannot always be taken. Because no one can tell when someone will win something big. some can win big jackpot in just 2 to 3 bets and some can win 1 big jackpot in 100 bets now so how can you bet every single amount of your bet in big amount. so while gambling, you should always use that amount of money in gambling and keep single bets through which you can enjoy gambling for a long time and you can afford to lose.

From my opinion, I think there isn’t any need to stake or risk one’s money on a game simply because you want to catch fun when you could simply not risk your money and still have fun while watching same game.

but there are people who gamble their money because they want to feel the excitement of gambling. they are very excited when they see the slot machines spinning or see the ball on the roulette machine spinning and almost hitting their number. maybe we will think that they are strange because how could they like to waste money like that, but that's gambling, sometimes you will find people who just want to have fun when gambling. because a gambler won't get this excitement when they just see the game going on, but when they put money into the game, that's where the excitement of gambling begins.

I wouldn't say it's always about the money, it's also about the thrill of the game and the possibility of winning. The excitement and anticipation that comes with gambling is one you can't find else where or replicate, and that excitement alone is worth the risk of losing money on the process.

[ChiBitCTy]

I came across a recent topic where the op was saying over 80% of gamblers gamble to make money and I had to have a dip thought on that and was curious as to know if there are possibilities that people gamble just for the sake of answering the name gambler?

Nearly eighty percentage of the gamblers are doing gambling for the money making.

From my opinion, I think there isn’t any need to stake or risk one’s money on a game simply because you want to catch fun when you could simply not risk your money and still have fun while watching same game.
I don’t know if I’m really staying my points well but I wish to know if people really have to gamble without intentions of making money?

lol, if it wasn't about making money, then I'm not sure why people would gamble at all?!  You can still play some of your most favorite games without the need for putting money on the table.  Take for instance Poker/Texas Hold'm..I love the game and will sometimes play just for the fun of it, not having anything to do with money.  I would imagine 95% of people whom gamble do so to make money.

is it really worth it in the end? I believe that all of us gamblers are more oriented towards profit, not just the pleasure we get from paying for the game.
We have to be realistic, most gamblers still feel regret or disappointment when they experience a losing streak and very few wins. Even though this happens, every gambler will still return to the game and continue betting in the future.

If the owner of the machine said that you don't win money on that machine and that people will be playing using money, I highly doubt that we would see someone putting coins in the machine knowing that they won't win anything. So let's ask ourselves: don't people keep saying that they are going to play for fun and not for money, so why don't they accept playing on a machine that doesn't make money? If every country in the world that allows lotteries announced that people can continue to buy lottery tickets but that they will not win any money if they get the ticket correctly, instead the prize would be a photo that would be taken of the winner and placed on the lottery company website. How many people would keep buying the lottery ticket? In my opinion the answer is that probably less than 1% of people would continue to buy lottery tickets and all lottery companies would go bankrupt. if land-based casinos and online casinos kept saying that they would no longer pay money to winners

but instead of not giving money, people would be putting money into the games just to have fun, how many people would agree to put $10 into a plinko game knowing that if they hit any multiplier they won't win anything? And how many people would agree to place a bet on a football game knowing that they won't win money if they get the bet right? I highly doubt that someone would place $50 or $1000 on a bet knowing that if they manage to get the bet right they won't win anything. So no one will place bets. people like challenges and that in these challenges they are rewarded. for example when people are at school and study a lot

They are thinking about getting good grades and surpassing everyone in the school and being recognized as the best in the school. So they are not studying hard just to keep that knowledge and hide it from the world. They study hard to be rewarded both at school and in future employment. This is why we all play to make a profit, but as gambling is based on the odds that favor the house most, it is recommended that people play with only money they can afford to lose, money that will not harm them. accounts if the person loses

[asyakashi]

Of course most people bet with the intention of making a profit, only a few do it for fun, that's why many people are miserable due to chasing luck in gambling, those who think like that will lose a lot of money compared to people who just have fun

[Jegileman]

I don’t know if I’m really staying my points well but I wish to know if people really have to gamble without intentions of making money?

If I’m to be asked to say my opinion about gamblers, my answer is that; about 99% of gamblers are doing it for money making and not for fun. Why would you risk your money to have fun when their are thousands of other things you can do to have fun without having to trouble your mind or sane self on the thought of not losing the money you’ve just placed on a bet. Gamblers gamble for money and not for fun and that’s just the fact.

I and almost everyone might state otherwise but deep down we all expect that we earn more than we risk. I might not have the company of richest person but I had never met a gambler that's not wanting to earn. And I  don't think that's its wrong to expect a larger return. If you know your limits and stay within a budget, and things goes according to your analysis specially on sports gambling, you could make some money while having some fun. Poker table is also a place where you could expect the skillful to have more chances at winning but that can't be said for random result gambling like dice and roulette.
So, expecting a earning from gambling is not a bad thing, you just should not make it an addiction.

[danherbias07]

Of course most people bet with the intention of making a profit, only a few do it for fun, that's why many people are miserable due to chasing luck in gambling, those who think like that will lose a lot of money compared to people who just have fun

It's true. When we forget that we gamble just to add some fun to our games then we might be running toward chaos in our financial status because next to it will be chasing losses which I am 100 percent sure since gambling sites always win through the house edge.
But maybe those who can win one time and will never be back for a long time are possible winners. Well, as long as they can endure to never be back because most winners that I see will test their luck one more time thinking they could possibly do it again and maybe double the profit. That's greed and I bet it will end up not good also.
All gamblers do like to win but most of the time we are sucked into trying to win back what we lost and that's when we are forced to play every day or every week hunting for revenge and trying to win our money back.

[sokani]

The assertion is wrong, many persons are hiding under the illusion that they are gambling for fun. I think it's just a small fraction of persons that may be gambling for the fun part of it like the wealthy class who have little or nothing to lose. Majority of gamblers are in for the money, they're either playing to make some extra cash or to hit a windfall that will change their lives for good.

[iBaba]

Risking money in the hope of profits is a normal thing that do not even call for discussion because that is what we do everyday. Every investment is with the hope that it will government some profits and as you know, there is no investment without some form of risk. So taking risk for profit is right and  people who "do not gamble" also do it.

What I find difficult understanding is if people do risk their money on bets just for fun. This has never and will never make sense to me.

Your response resonates deeply with the way I think about these things too. The realistic part of it is everybody on the surface of the earth takes risks, whether business people, or even people that are not in the business arena. You take one or two risks because there are decisions that you make that has to be money-driven, and you can't make them without taking the risk of bringing out the money to solve those problems.

And the examples to these things can be enormous. An example could be that people purchase lands to or even order for things that at the end of the day they are not able to use them and they can't return it. It's a form of risk taking too and that does not have anything to do with even the business arena or betting. So that's just one example amongst a million.

As for people who take their hard-earned money to bets for fun, I think there are a lot of people that are doing so. But what I believe in my own instance is because those people had already made a lot of money, so losing a little potion of money on those things in turn of fun wouldn't be a bad idea to them. Everybody has a way they derive pleasure or looking for that inner peace and satisfaction from them and some other person's inner peace could be engaging in gambling for fun.

Gambling is a high risk game, and as we know, the higher the risk, the higher the profit can be. Of course, most gamblers gamble because of the possibility of winning, some of them do not even realize that they play because they need emotions and of course there are gamblers who get an emotional explosion during the loss / win. You will not get such emotions in a movie theater, on the beach, in a restaurant, strip bar. Of course there are entertainments that can cause a similar emotional explosion - skydiving, bicycle trails, but these entertainments also cost quite expensive and are not available for everyone. In addition, they can lead not only to injuries, but also to death.

You’re right and it’s always funny how people find it difficult to accept they’re gambling to make money forgetting that these gambling companies are solely in there to make money and always proud to state it .
The major reason a gambler should gamble is to make money and let the fun come from the winning rather than claiming to have fun while finding it difficult to make a win from it.
Currently, anything anyone is doing that isn’t fetching them money while others are making money from it is actually a waste of time and gambling for fun while others are making money off it is a waste of time as well.

[Outhue]

We are all gambling to make money and I am not ashamed to say it, as I see that so many people are not bold enough to say it out loud, well here you have it, I gamble to get lucky and make money, that's why we are all here, but the only difference between I and others is that I don't have high expectations from gambling like they always do.

Just because I am gambling to make money doesn't mean I must gamble all the time or risk a lot of money on gambling, understanding matters here, I know how unsafe it is to be too involved in gambling, you can leave the important things behind and go for gambling, only to end up regretting later.

I do gamble to make money, but I do it when I have the amount that I won't be needing for now, the amount that I am ready to lose away in gambling, and most times I keep on learning new things, skills based, that will help me to make better money in future, I don't believe in gambling that much.

Maybe I would have to ask you if you have ever gambled before or if you have ever taken a big risk in gambling and you were very surprised to make huge profits from such games. If not, you will not ask us whether people truly make profits by taking risk to win gamble. Everything we do requires risks and the only thing and ways we could help ourselves is to make sure that we take a necessary risk nit anyhow risk that could make us lose big amount of money in the market. We need to observe things and weigh it before we decide to take risk because there are some risks that do not worth it and it's after we are in that we would know that we have already fucked up.

[iv4n]

Of course most people bet with the intention of making a profit, only a few do it for fun, that's why many people are miserable due to chasing luck in gambling, those who think like that will lose a lot of money compared to people who just have fun

We all bet with a wish to make a profit, but only a few know that making that profit in gambling is hard. So when we make a deposit we wish to have some fun while we play our favorite games, but we never know whether we will make a profit or lose everything... we play for fun & excitement, and if we make a profit it's great, but if we lose it's not the end of the world we know we will try again another day.

People who gamble solely to make a profit often lose, it's because they push and they think it's their turn to be on the winning side. It's not so bad as long as they play with the money they can afford to lose, but when someone goes too deep and starts chasing losses just to recover and return debts it turns ugly in most cases.

I think this whole thing highlights one of the biggest problems with gambling, which is the cycle of chasing losses. Even when a gambler experiences more losses than wins, you still find them pressing harder and harder, and the more they go, the higher they stake and the more they lose, this has proven the most dangerous cycle in gambling and many gamblers fall into this ditch without even knowing it, they continue to gamble, with the hopes of eventually hitting that big win and recovering those lost fund without knowing that this cycle can very hard to break because it leads to even more loss, only a few people have been able to do it.

Well for me I will say nobody gets involved in gambling without having profits maximization as their aim and goal,  gambling is for profits not for fun,  it only becomes fun when you are gaining much more than you are lossing, similar thread has been created saying that some people gamble  for fun not profits which is not true, because there is no way gambling can be a fun when you are loosing funds which creates devastation in the mind of any gambler, lossing in gambling most incure pains irrespective of how you get your funds.
