Do people truly risk their money on bets for profit?

[Spaceman1000$]

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?

There are a whole lot of reasons why people gamble and I think the major reason is to make profit, the betting company on their own end would want to advertise that if you're a good predictor, they are capable of giving you good amount of money based on what you predicted and if your predictions are correct, they pay you. So most people go for winning the big price and that is basically for profit making.
You can as well see gambling as cashing fun, because you use a certain percent of your money to stake, more like trying your look to see if it will shine. If you can just watch the game and you do not stake it then means you are not a gambler, for you to be called a gambler, you must involve yourself in betting and predictions.

Watching a game without risking anything is different from when you risk your money and you gamble for entertainment. You brain release feel good chemical that'll increase the intensity of the game called dopamine, it's the dopamine that causes your gambling addicted when you can't control the way you gamble. It'll make you to want to stake money regardless of if you're making profits or not. There are many individuals that're gambling just to get the feel good feeling and it's mostly the rich individuals.

Most poor individual don't gamble just for entertainment but they gamble to make money as they see gambling as a means to make more money. Every individual is different therefore as you're gambling to make money, don't blame them for gambling for entertainment. Some of them have enough money that they don't know what to use them for therefore gambling for entertainment is what they do.

People gamble for all sorts of reasons. Sure money is one motive but plenty do it for the sheer thrill, the social aspect or just to have a good time. Some enjoy the strategy involved in games and for others it's a way to unwind or escape for a bit. So it's not just about making money like it's a mix of emotions, socializing and entertainment that draws people in

This is correct perspective for me. There’s a lot of available games which you can get same entertainment without any involvement of money. Gambling without money involved is just a regular game. People enjoy gambling because of the potential for the risk they are taking. It’s impossible to enjoy gambling without considering having profit because it’s just a regular game that you can find on every game center apps.

For me, I’m gambling with the intention to make money. There’s nothing wrong with it since that’s the reality. It’s only wrong if you rely solely on gambling to generate income instead of doing a job that will give you consistent profit without any risk involved.

We all play in casinos for fun and the main thing: tryng to win some money, otherwise it's better to just play on a PlayStation / Xbox video game.

If I'm not mistaken, most casinos have a way to play without betting, that is, just to play, if you like it you can use it like that, just for fun.

[dothebeats]

You're a hypocrite if it never crossed your mind to make money off of gambling.

Most of the gamblers I know are in it for the money, and not for the entertainment that other people seek. It's possibly because they saw other people making money off it, and they want to be in a similar position to escape their boring day jobs or just make money doing something that they think is easy.

They truly risk their money, in the false hopes of making more than what they originally staked for.

it should be like that. but in reality, there will be more gamblers who bet with their money for profit. maybe I also feel something like that, maybe for fun. but our hope is more to gain than to lose.
The most important thing is that if you lose if you lose, you don't feel stressed and very disappointed with the results of your bet. then you enjoy gambling even though the target is still the desire to win. What is clear is that don't make that desire an ambition. otherwise, it will only mess up your bet.

It's obvious that the objective of people to gamble is to ensure that they have win gambling or make money through gambling, secondly, they don't gamble because they are catching fun, but that's capital lie, the essence of people to gamble is to make money through gambling not because of catching cruise, I gamble both casino and soccer predictions kind of gambling but my aim to gamble is to make money not to waste my money in the name of catching cruise or fun, I do that because I want to straighten up, so I have knowledge that gambling is about risk neither you lose or gain in gambling.

It cannot be denied that some people who are in the world of gambling, among others, have the aim of seeking profit and multiplying their wealth. However, no matter how good you are at gambling and no matter how good you are at making an analysis, this is not a guarantee that every time you gamble and place a bet, you will win. And what you do and what you try to do when playing gambling is just to increase the chances of winning.

Getting a win in gambling is of course a hope for everyone who joins the world of gambling and bets in it. However, when seeking profit becomes the main focus when gambling, the opposite will happen, where the gambling will only result in losses. So it is quite important to gamble appropriately and within certain limits. And gambling should be considered a form of entertainment and played with the aim of sensation and pleasure.

You can never get the same experience you get from casino games on games you play on Xbox - there’s a feeling you get when you’re logged into your account and placed a bet waiting for the result, sometimes you get some hormones rush through your blood and that brings out the excitement we feel despite losing (in the case where you just deposit and you ain’t expecting anything big from that session).

While for the demo - it can never be the same as original game, sometimes you’ll just keep experiencing wins than losses that sometimes drive people to make deposits so it’s not the same experience.

That's not very true. No one is happy when you lose money in gambling. The real enjoyment of gambling is when you win. Simply placing bets without expecting to win anything won't give you the same excitement. Especially, if you have a high expectation with your game. If you hope to win a large sum of money and end up losing all your funds without any wins, it can be extremely disappointing. In such a situation, gambling won't be fun at all.

If you're staking your money with a chance to make money of course you'll wish that you can make money, whether it's an investment or gambling, if there's a possibility to make money we'll take that, we all need money, money sustain our needs.
If your favorite restaurant offers a contest or a cash giveaway for their customers, you're going to participate and hope that you win the contest or cash giveaway, it's part of our being human, we just want to get rewarded when we are putting in something valuable.

Although there are exceptions, there are chronic gamblers who just want to play for the sake of gambling, even if they win a lot of money and they have everything or even if they lose everything and they have no more money to gamble they will find a way because some gamblers are playing for the sake of playing, these are chronic gamblers, they don't care about money only the challenges of gambling.

I don't understand what you mean by betting to answer the gambler's name, because what I know is that every time we gamble we definitely hope to win so that they make money.

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.

Basically, people bet to win, even though in reality there are many people who actually suffer losses. If you gamble just for fun then whether you lose or not is not a big problem.
It is impossible for people to bet without the intention of making money, the difference is that people who bet for fun have much better control, compared to people who bet to win.

[demonica]

Well, that's the point of gambling. That's even in the definition of gambling

play games of chance for money; bet.

So it's kinda bizarre to gamble if you don't really aim to win a profit from it. Cause if it's not the profit that you want and you just want to entertain yourself, there's a lot of other entertainment out there without the need of risking or betting your money. Yeah, I get the point that you also gamble for entertainment but aside from that, there's also a hope of winning for the money.

Some people are okay with losing their money because it's just their extra money and they can afford to lose it. But it doesn't mean that they also have no intention of winning, right? It's like as a gambler, you gamble for the two main reasons:
1. Profit
2. Entertainment
It just depends on some gamblers what matters to them the most. But definitely these two are always the factor.

Staking, investing, and gambling go beyond profit. About game comprehension. Strategy, risk management, and occasionally loss are needed, not just hope. What about chronic gamblers? You say it's not about money? Correct, but don't romanticize. It's an obligation and a psychological risk. Now it gets real: it's not just a game for them; it's a never-ending loop that requires intervention, not appreciation

It's more than desiring more when we talk about money, staking, or gambling. You must know when and how to pursue it. Chronic gamblers struggle to break the cycle, not the game. We're people, but part of being human is recognizing when something controls us and taking action to reclaim it

Truly there are people who risk their hard earned money to gamble so as to make profit I believe this is very common in countries where there is lack of employment opportunities for the youths thus they reverted to soccer matches betting to make end met and obviously they are making some decent money for their daily upkeep, many of them has in-depth knowledge about soccer leagues across Europe thus makes it easier for them to pick matches and stake with small fund which provide succour to them and daily bread and in those places they don't gamble for fun rather play bet to survive.

It is normal that most people gamble to make money.The logic is simple as people who play slots with max wins multiplier of x10.000 are surely not going to risk the money for fun there,they are there with a super crystal clear intention which is to make more money or to multiply the initial balance.I personally go to gamble for the same logic,I have 100 dollars and risk them to make them 1000 or more through gambling.Is it easy?Absolutely not as the odds are always against us so we should go to gamble the money we have allocated for gambling and be happy with whatever result because as I said the odds are against us.

I mean for sure, a huge part of gambling is to make a profit for the most part, And we can't really call it gambling anymore if money is not involved so that just means that money is a part of gambling, and if we are going to involved or risk money in gambling that just means that we are also expecting to earn a profit from it, you don't really want to risk your money without really expecting anything on return. It was just like throwing money anyway, any doesn't really going to make any sense right?

There are probably people who just gamble for entertainment but I think it wasn't like all for entertainment, It was because entertainment was the main goal but it doesnt mean that the gambler doesnt want to win some profit for sure, that just means that he just like to get entertain more than earning, There are times that I gamble just for entertainment I put up some amount like 30$ that I dont really care if I win or lose just for entertainment and make it interesting but if still who doesnt want to win and earn the reward.

[Litzki1990]

It mostly varies on an individual's goal, but not everyone gambles just to make money. Although, many gambles to make money or for financial gain, while for some, they gamble just for fun and entertainment. There are also some gamblers play as a way of escape from their stress or simply socialize with others.

If you are directly saying that some gamblers don't gamble to make money then I would say you are completely wrong. There are different sports to be taken as fun or different roads so why people take maximum risk of their money for fun. Maximum risk of money is taken because the gambler wants to make money by gambling. Gamblers may profitably take gambling as fun. You tell a gambler to lose at regular gambling and try to find happiness in him after losing at regular gambling hopefully you won't find his fun in gambling at all. A gambler is happy and enjoys gambling only when he keeps winning in gambling, without profit the gambler is always upset.

The thing is, staking the money is the thrill that the fun is representing. Without it, gambling simply wouldn't be gambling. Now there's a difference between gambling to have fun vs gambling to profit though. While on paper, they're both playing while staking their money, one side is relying on the result to determine an external factor outside of the "fun" part, while the other doesn't. They differ in terms of what they encompass so to speak.

They may both gamble with the intention of making money but whatever comes after that part makes the two types of gamblers differ from each other. One side is expectant on having something after it (aka the money they "can" win), the other is well, just done with playing. If they win, then yay, is what they'd probably feel I guess. Except ofc if they win big. Anyone, regardless of whether their goal was to get rich or not, would absolutely go crazy if they win it big.
