Do people truly risk their money on bets for profit?

[junder]

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.

I am sure that the goal of many people who gamble is to make a profit or multiply the money they have. Therefore, it is natural that many gamblers have the motive to recover losses or pursue winnings, because that is the main goal. with them gambling as a motive, of course that is not right, because with motives or thoughts like that it will only make them lose more of the money they have, even when they don't have money they will try to make money in any way they can. generate money and will use it to gamble again with the motive of recovering losses or chasing wins Therefore many people experience big losses because gambling is their wrong motive for gambling, even though there is a chance to get a profitable win at gambling, this does not require them to spend a lot of money on gambling, because even if they win, I am sure they will win. what they get cannot cover all the money they have lost due to gambling, there is a jackpot that can be obtained, but it is not certain that they will be able to get it, because what is clear is that they will lose more often even if they try hard, such as spending a lot of money. This does not rule out the possibility that they will lose from the gambling they do. So no matter how hard you try in gambling, I don't think you can guarantee a definite win.

If their initial motive for gambling is wrong, it is very likely that they will have problems in the future, such as a gambling addiction that will harm them. Where they can gamble by spending a lot of money but they will not care about the money they have lost in gambling because all they think about is winning. It's true what you said, this might be a dangerous cycle where they can spend money without the slightest hesitation. Once they are trapped in this cycle, of course they will encounter various problems, the main one being money, their finances will become a mess, and other problems, perhaps in terms of health, and relationships between friends or family and even partners. And if you are trapped in this cycle, of course it is not an easy task to get out of this cycle. Of course, to get out of this cycle, I think most people fail to get out, although there are some who are in the process of getting out, but in cases where they return to gambling and went back to gambling crazily Therefore, when you first start gambling, your motives and objectives must be specific, even though there is a chance to win, it is not recommended to gamble with the motive of making a profit because it can trap you. Don't let our own thoughts lead us into a detrimental cycle, especially in the long term.

People has their own meaning of fun when gambling. For some, gambling can be fun and exciting to potentially make money, and for others, they see it as a form of entertainment. It depends on the views of people on how they see 'fun' in gambling. And if you are a person who sees gambling as a way of making money, it's important to approach it responsibly and within your means. Gamble with only what you can afford to lose and always be aware of the potential risks and rewards.

Many individuals are gambling as they want to make money therefore they won't want to lose or gambling only as they want to have fun and lose money but that doesn't mean there aren't some rich individual that find pleasure in losing money when gambling to get the full effect of the dopamine that comes from the thought of losing your money by risking when gambling. For them losing money is what gives them entertainment and they can afford to pay for the fun.

When gambling, only use money that you can afford to lose so when you lose it you won't be defensive and starts gambling to recover your losses which will make you to over gamble and might end up making you to become an addicted gambler. No individual wants to be a gambling addict, it's from things like over gambling or revenge gambling that makes them to be addictive and hard to stop the habit.

Any person who plays gambling in the first place should realize that for any entertainment has to pay. Casino is not a charitable organization. Rich gambler is well aware of the risks and therefore relate to losses more calmly. Poor gambler apparently does not want to understand that losing in gambling is a mathematical pattern. Why does this happen? Because in most cases, the poor gambler plays gambling for the sake of winning, the rich rather to have fun.

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?

Believe it or not, but I agree with what @kenshi222 said, I know many people say gambling for entertainment, fun and so on, it's all a joke, there are no crazy people risking their money just for entertainment and fun, gambling is not a tourist place where they can spend money on food, hotel rentals and so on.

I believe money is gambled to make money, that's what happens in the world of gambling, we all expect money to be wagered on certain types of games just to win and profit, nothing else, losing/losing is their risk, the point is that people gamble only to make a profit from winning.

[Gormicsta]

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?

You can't have fun by watching the game. Would you prefer to download God Of War on your pc and play yourself or you prefer to watch how other person plays it? I prefer to play by myself because I control the process and I feel like the character. The same applies to gambling too, I play slots myself, I control how much I bet instead of watching others decisions. If you want to have fun, there are many games that let you to gamble with play money. You also have to keep in mind that not every game is playable via play money, for example, live casinos need you to bet real money. There will be some people who get fun from live casinos and bet small to enjoy the experience,
winning is a bonus in this case.

Most of these games also increase anxiety and I also noticed that some of us are already derailing from
The subject matter which is, if we truly have people who gamble strictly because of fun when there are several games they can play without getting to risk any money because I personally believe over 80% of gamblers are there to make money and from my little time of observation, I’ve notice that these set of people who gamble they gamble for fun are people who’s losses are largely greater than that winnings and telling people that they gamble for fun seems to be one of the best ways to get out of shame from the losses because I believe there is always a special joy that comes from winning a bet

Many people appear to gamble with the intention of making money, but the reality is that the majority of gamblers lose money over time. So, to save face or prevent feeling awful about their losses, they may claim that they are gambling for enjoyment. However, even if someone claims to be gambling for enjoyment, they are almost certainly expecting to earn money, even if it is not their major motivation. It's almost as if people are deluding themselves into believing they don't care about money, but in reality, they are only attempting to insulate themselves from the emotional and psychological anguish of losing money by claiming they don't care.

[teamsherry]

You would definitely find few person's that gamble for fun, most person's gamble for fun and for the cash too, and some only for the money, but either way gamble is gamble, if you wanted to have fun why not book a ticket to watch the match live. IMO I don't think people gamble for fun cause you would definitely feel disappointed if it doesn't work out and once emotions is involved you can't call if fun anymore.

I would only agree if the person is so rich and then is looking for a means to waste money and laugh over it, gambling isn't so fun fare else everyone would be doing it and there is a reason why people don't endulge in it cause of fear losing money.

And just as I’ve also said before that I feel at some point that people who claim they gamble for fun are people who are at the losing end and that very story is just a way to cover the pains and bitterness of losing, don’t get me wrong but I don’t agree with the fact that people risk their hard earned money just to have fun which they can also have without getting to risk a single dime.
I’ve also said thy these casinos are there to make profit and in most cases they also make it very obvious and hence I see no reason why people should shy away from making it obvious, they’re gambling to also make profits.

The intention behind gambling most times influences the approach various class of gamblers gamble, the rich who always have fun at the back of their mind gamble very different from the way the poor who has got the intention to make money gambling will gamble. Loosing in gambling if seen as something that was expected than there will be no need to ever think you are surprised at the outcome of any of the game you did gambled on.

Losses and winning are things we see in gambling everyday and it's actually based on your approach and strategy to gambling that you will be able to experience either of these stated but then every gambler who's gambled in awhile must get to experience both of the experiences.

[Crypt0Gore]

Yes every gamblers risk their money on bets to make profit, the only difference is the level of risks they take, most gamblers don't care about what could happen to them if they lose, they get greedy and reckless easily.

I don't want to make a lot from gambling, that's why I don't expect big amount when gambling, as someone who is also using very little amount of money, what can I even win with that? Like gamblers use to say, that if you risk a lot on gambling you will reap a lot of gains.

I do not believe this idea because it's very dangerous and misleading, the idiots might think that it's this easy to make some money and they will risk everything, until they are proven wrong, don't get greedy, find another reliable source of income and start using 1% or 2% max of the money to gamble.

Fun is subjective but the one coming from gambling is influenced by money, there is nobody that will want to justify fun in gambling without money been involved. I do even think that some people are including fun into gambling so their close people don't see it as a bad thing they are doing. Gambling is a means of making money to some players and yes, they are good at playing around with it and does make money from it, they don't have any means to make a living than the gambling and you don't see them get affected by it and they don't lose much more than they win.

[Mia Chloe]

Gambling is not an investment in any form. So the first issue is when a person begins to view gambling as an investment or make quick money scheme. A majority of these persons pump their assets and liquidity into gambling with high hopes of getting massive returns forgetting that majority of gambling activities are just games of fun and luck. Sometimes it is even reasonable to tag such persons as lazy people who don't want to work but want to sit back and see the penny they have multiply to millions overnight by just placing a bet and hitting a jackpot.
Gambling is supposed to be a fun act so we should put in money we can afford to lose instead of staking irresponsibly and huge.

The only thing I see is money, nothing else, and all this fun that you guys are talking about. I don't have a problem if its fun, but situations have changed our mindset. I don't want fun again All I want now is money. Any time there is a potential win, people are always excited because I am very sure that it is not the game that is making them happy but the money they are expecting and people are always looking down on gamblers, seeing them as people who are not responsible. But there are professional gamblers who do not do anything else but gamble and do very well and my aim now is to become better at gambling. I have learned to trust in my instincts because that is how professionals survive in gambling. I am not bothered by what people think about my gambling habits because I want money and I do online betting so they don't even know what I do.

No matter how little the winning bet may be, it is still called a winning bet. Just like you said, most people really stake game to make more money. It's now fun if the amount you stake has no important value if being lose. Doing this, you will watch the match with full strength without any worries in mind.

It is always advisable to only risk what you can afford to loss no matter how small or big the amount might be but doing this with claims that you just want to catch fun isn’t right and I don’t want to argue if people truly and sincerely risk their money with a primary objective of just having fun because I do understand that just as our faces are different so are our desires are too and same applies to the purpose to which people gamble.

Just as I’ve said it previously that these bookies are solely into this business to make money and as such we should be conscious of our games and also try to make money from them too at every slightest opportunity that we grab.

Most people are just claiming that they are gambling for fun, but a lot of people are gambling to make money. The joy in gambling is winning. I don't know how someone will be happy after predicting a game and losing money. Nobody will be happy to lose any amount of money, even if it is $1. But the only truth that is there is that, as someone is gambling for profit, they should not gamble with a large amount of money that will affected them because gambling have no assurance, so that even if someone loses, it will not affect them that much. I don't see anything wrong with someone gambling for profit, but the truth behind it is that someone should not take it as a source of income.

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.

It's even more difficult to stop when you manage to win something significant as a gambler because that thing stays in your mind and you keep trying to get the same results again and again and since it's gambling and things like that don't happen very often, you tend to lose everything that you have won earlier.

This is where the level of patience of a gambler comes into play because if they have enough control, they will be able to stop after hitting a big win and cash out the money, but if they lack control, they will not be able to stop and they will keep trying to multiply the money and eventually lose it all.

Some people might be able to stop when they lose, but as I said, it becomes even more difficult for them to stop when they win.

if you have played street soccer before, you will understand the fun part of gambling with money.

If you want to have real fun from street soccer, tell each team to bring a certain amount of money out and that any team that wins goes home with the money. It's at that moment you will see the beast in those players that will normally play casually because there was nothing to loose. Everyone will play and become serious with the game because something is at stake and for me, that's my fun in street soccer. It's the same reason why you find a lot of energy among those watching the game at soccer centres , most of them have stacked in the game and you see them arguing and having real fun because they know at the end of the match Thier is a high possibility of them winning.

Some people might be able to stop when they lose, but as I said, it becomes even more difficult for them to stop when they win.

Self-control is very important, and it's not just when you're losing, but even when you're winning, you have to be able to control yourself to stop and enjoy the money you've won. Some people do the opposite, when they win they will continue to gamble because they want to get a bigger win, but in reality it is not a bigger win that they get, instead their victory turns into defeat. A moment later they will regret not withdrawing the winnings they got before, because now there is nothing they can withdraw and enjoy.
Not only is that the case, sometimes they will also return to play and hope that the victory will come to them again on the second try. But instead of the winnings they get, now they have lost even more money than before. Many people do things like this, they are not satisfied with the winnings they get nor can they stop when they lose. This is what we call a greedy addict. They have no limits and they have no rules so they gamble based on emotions that arise because of greed or that arise because of disappointment. If it is like this then only time will make them stop (already lost everything).

Funny enough you’re talking about the players and not the gamblers as these are absolutely two different case scenarios but nevertheless, talking about the fun people get in viewing center isn’t because they booked a game or gambler on a game but because they’re core fan and that’s were you actually see the real fan base of a football club and most times, these viewers don’t even get to talk and discuss about their booking in the viewing center but rather focused on the very game that is been played at the moment .


Truth be told that there are several games one can play without staking or risking their money and still get all the fun and entertainment they desire and the major caption of this thread is to remind people that these casinos m, are here to make profits and we shouldn’t be blinded with the idea of having fun while the casinos are enriching themselves from this mentality.

Anybody saying gambling is for fun and not for making profit must be keeding. Just as you said if gambling where to be fun nobody would risk his money on betting why they can equally watch thesame game without the intention of making money. I believe that gambling is for making money. though there might be fun, but the fun in it does not justify that profit is not the primary motive. Whenever you think of gambling, you think of wealth and how to quickly achieve it withing the shortest period of time. For me gambling is for making money and not for fun.
