Do people truly risk their money on bets for profit?

[Solosanz]

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.

Do you really don't know the difference between as a player and as a watcher? everyone are excited to try anything that they see especially when it comes to entertainment, they want to feel the experience.

If someone don't feel fun while watching, you can't force them to feel fun by watching someone else gambling.

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 only wishing, but it's useless since other people will keep gamble to make money.

I think you are mixing things up here. Gambling for fun doesn't mean they are not interested in making profits while gambling but it implies that one should not be so emphasize on the money making aspects. If you prioritize profit in gambling, you will definitely get disappointed at the end. Firstly, you will lose your money which can not be recovered again and Secondly, you will be depressed.

This is why it's recommend to gamble with amount that one can afford to lose so you can enjoy the fun and entertainment. Generally, gambling itself is an avenue designed to risk something and get something in return. On this note, the initial intention is to have some fun with your money and probably get some profit in return but unfortunately, majority of gamblers now focus on the profits side which is the reason we have addicts suffering from one challenge to other. So, yes, people actually gamble without the intention of making money but mainly for fun. There are games we play some times and from the beginning we know it won't bring us any profit but we still play it to enjoy the moment.

Of course, most gamblers want to win or profit from their gambling activities. That's a normal thing, but the difference is, there are those who like to chase losses and there are those who still control their finances and accept their losses. These two differences will lead to different results in the end, those who like to chase losses will become addicts and those who accept losses will be fine.

So far I have never met anyone who gambles but doesn't want money or profit, everyone wants to win and of course they gamble to double their money.

[Z390]

It's always going to be about money, everyone gambles because of money, fun is just another part that matters but it's not the main reason why we gamble, there are responsible gamblers and irresponsible gamblers, one needs to pick a side.
Since gambling is a very difficult game and not always easy to make money from, many turned it into a fun game and they risk small money only, if it's easier to make money in gambling many would accept that they are gambling for money only.

It's hard to beat the casino, that's why many turn gambling into a entertainment station, I am a responsible gambler because I know it's almost impossible to win the casino, and I don't want to get wrecked by the casino that's why I risk very small money.

[Assface16678]

Certainly yes. Even though the intention of a gambler at first is for entertainment, they will eventually get to the point where they will want more, as either they have a taste of winning or they experience great loss. Having a taste of winnings will make a gambler hunger for more; they will eventually expect more money or profit from it to the point that they will rely only on gambling, and that's when the worst happenings may come. Experiencing a great loss at first could make them risk more money as they will want to recover their losses. They will come to the point where it is too late for them to get back from gambling because of the amount they have lost, meaning they have a regret that nags them to gamble more because they need to recover the amount of money they have lost in gambling. These two scenarios can eventually make them suffer from gambling, from fun to suffering.

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.

Gamblers who say they gamble to get pleasure do not mean they have no intention of making a profit from gambling so they gamble carelessly, it's just that whatever results they get don't affect their enjoyment or their mental state so they will try to catch up if they lose and continue playing if they win because of gambling overpowering them.
I try to analyze matches carefully so that I can make a profit from sports betting, but that doesn't rule out the opportunity to lose, but the losses I get can still be accepted well, I have no desire to recover the money I have lost and will only return to playing when the funds used are still within the limits which are made.

[Odohu]

This is the lie some people tell themselves in order to feel relieved when they lose money in gambling; it is a form of reversed psychology mechanism that leverage on self denial.

Gambling is never fun unless to those who are addicted to gambling because it is only addiction that can make one derive fun from losing money. Gambling is business with the sole purpose being to make money.

Sometimes the economy hardship of a country can cause members to do something they never believed they could went through, one of the means is in finding survival through the means of playing bets in gambling, they don't mind taking the risk at all cost, while you can only discover that only few engage in gambling for sun and not minding the way they may loose to gambling or not, everyone has his own intentions either for making money or fun, but that doesn't change wether we clare taking the risk or not whenever we are gambling, it's either we loose or win.

I think this really depends on the personality of a person. Some people enjoy watching sports games and would never think about betting money on these games. Then there are people that are looking for more excitement and thrill and willing to bet on every game they watch. And then there is the category of gamblers that believe they have an advantage over others and want to make a profit from their bets. Most of us will likely be a mix of all those. Personally I am not going to bet on every match that I watch, but I find it more interesting if money is involved. Especially on big tournaments where the champion is not directly clear in the beginning, it's very exciting to have some longer lasting bets. People who follow their sports a lot and have deep insights can definitely make money from it, but I don't think it's 80%.

Yes you can gamble because you just want to have fun. Normally nobody like losing even if you are staking small amount of money. But as you stake small amount of money that you can afford to lose, that means you are not using gambling as a source of income although you will not like to lose but to win. You will see gamblers like that, that are staking small amount of money. So these gamblers fall under the category of gambling for fun.

Well, that is really what gambling is, money is always involved just like that car racing movie that placed her girlfriend as a bet for the race that was still considered gambling as it risk something or someone from the competing team. I maybe wrong to call it desperate for us to get the winning but that is what we really are trying to target and why do we have to wish for something that goes against us most especially that means losing money right?

[CODE200]

That's how gambling is so yes, people do truly risk their money on bets to get a profit, I mean isn't gambling inherently risky so what's the confusion that caused this thread to be created? Although I'd like to believe what you've said to be true, I don't think that it's 80%, is there like some survey that this person has done that has made them arrive at that conclusion? I don't think so because it's too accurate of a percentage.

80% is too small, it is nearly 100% gamblers are taking a risk on gambling to make money. It is hard or maybe it is impossible to find gamblers who do gambling for fun only without any intention to make money. The statement "gambling for fun" is just an additional statement for gamblers to control themselves and to minimize the chance of getting addicted. If there are some people who claim themselves to gambling for fun only without any intention to make money, just call them BS

In my opinion, the goal of just making money is a gateway to loss. because even though in gambling there is a chance to win, it doesn't mean we can get it easily, it also doesn't mean we have to chase that win, because chasing that win can make us lose a lot of money and if we do get a win, I don't think it's possible to win. cover the many losses due to frequent defeats. You also have to remember that gambling is a game that is provided to generate profits for the company, not the people who play it.

and even though there are people who gamble with the aim of having fun, I think they also want to win in the gambling they do, because the main reason for gambling is to win, after all, who doesn't want a profitable win? I think all people who gamble definitely want to win, but we shouldn't risk a lot of money on gambling, it's not recommended at all. and in my opinion it is true that the percentage of people who gamble to make money is greater than the percentage of people who gamble not to make money.

Any gambler who is gambling just for the sake to be called a gamber is gambling under the effect of peer pressure, and obviously has the money to waste.

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.

Some gamblers will only enjoy a game and have fun when they have some kind of bet on it. The bet and money they have staked gives them some extra thrill that is fun for them. It will be hard for someone who is used to the thrill in gambling when they bet, to suddenly stop and try to enjpy games without betting, it is much easier for a person who does not gamble or gamble too often to do.

[Kakmakr]

The "play for fun" option are actually just there for people to try out a game to see if they want to risk their own money to play it. It is also a feature that the the casino are using to entice people to play the game for real money.

I sometimes think the "play for fun" option are using a totally different "seed"... because I tend to win more, playing for free.. than what I am winning when I play it with my own money. 

It is still a fun way to "test" the game and to learn the features that it offers. 

[piebeyb]

How can people present that around 80% of people gamble for money, this data is valid or just analytical calculations, I do believe that more people gamble because they want to make money, but 80% may not be high enough, because people gamble nowadays. want to make a lot of money, maybe around 90%, because that makes more sense, more and more people are addicted to gambling every day and more and more people want to gamble every day because they want to make quick profits.

Talking about wanting to make a profit and having fun is different because the mindset of most rich people gambles to have fun while poor people gamble to make a profit so if asked Do people really risk their money on bets for the sake of profit? back to the mindset, for example there are also poor gamblers like me who gamble just for fun so it's not for profit, but that doesn't mean I don't want money, everyone likes money, but don't put that first priority, pay attention It's true that gambling is a place to have fun, that's why casinos create lots of games there. one more thing we will not be able to win against the dealer.

[Odohu]

The title is definitely not the right one. I think the better one is this.

"Do people truly risk their money on bets for profit?"

It's always going to be about making money and those "bets" just for fun are those who are just trying out gambling. I think that's the reason for people trying it but avid gamblers probably want to profit and not gamble just for fun. There's definitely intention IMO.

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.

[Ultegra134]

Is it just me, or am I not understanding what exactly the OP is trying to say? Of course, money is a vital part of gambling; we're not expecting to make a living through it, nor are we anticipating it to become a secondary income flow. It is an entertaining activity, but no one plays solely for the sake of "playing for fun" without involving the money aspect. If that were the case, then I doubt if anyone would be interested in playing, because that couldn't be called gambling without the aspect of money and high returns; that's what gambling promises, but not everyone gets it.

[noormcs5]

It's always going to be about money, everyone gambles because of money, fun is just another part that matters but it's not the main reason why we gamble, there are responsible gamblers and irresponsible gamblers, one needs to pick a side.

I would say that both responsible gamblers and irresponsible gamblers are in search of money through gambling. This does not mean that the irresponsible gamblers are playing for money while the responsible gamblers are gambling for  fun, this does not work this way. In fact 80% of the gamblers are those who are in search of financial games from gambling.

Since gambling is a very difficult game and not always easy to make money from, many turned it into a fun game and they risk small money only, if it's easier to make money in gambling many would accept that they are gambling for money only.

I agree that making money from gambling is not as easy as it seems but how can you say that the gambling games are difficult?  None of the Gambling games are difficult and even the newbie and the one who haven't been gambling can easily gamble on the gambling side and there is no tricks or tips or technicalities involved in the gambling games.

It's hard to beat the casino, that's why many turn gambling into a entertainment station, I am a responsible gambler because I know it's almost impossible to win the casino, and I don't want to get wrecked by the casino that's why I risk very small money.

Yes, beating the house and beating the gambling houses is simply out of the question, but what a gambler should focus on is to make small wins, risk less capital and make sure that when by the end of gambling he is in overall profit and not in a net loss or an overall loss. Some people do make some jackpot wins And due to this reason, the people are attractive to gambling's because it can change your life if you are lucky enough.
