Do people truly risk their money on bets for profit?

[Mr.suevie]

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.

Gamblers will enjoy gambling only when they have a lot of winnings. When gamblers lose a lot of money they are in depression due to which they have to make some wrong decisions and face huge losses to recover the lost money.  However, we should not be overly greedy while gambling, if we win a little money, we should stop gambling.

I think the part of the fun people always refer when gambling is also associated to winning, many people deliberate on the issue about playing gambling strictly for fun but the truth is fun is Winning or do you cash fun when you lose? I definitely would think not, so this issue of playing gambling for fun purpose is widely exaggerated because the core purpose of gambling itself is winning and earning profits.

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.

If they don't stake or risk their money, the game isn't going to be fun anymore. The fun consists in risking money, because it plays with variables and impacting outcomes for their lives. If there isn't money at stake, to lose or win won't make any difference at all, as it's not going provoke consequences, therefore, thrill, excitement and adrenaline won't be felt by the gambler.

A similar example could be a competition where there aren't winners or losers, and everyone gets a trophy in the end. For that reason, competition's members won't feel motivated to do their best on the tasks required, neither will feel proud of themselves or excited about the results in the end. Probably they won't even want to participate again in future competitions.

The possibility of being rewarded, while most lose, and standing out among the crowds always awake the pride and vanity of human beings. It feels like being special and unique. That is how gambling affects your mood positively when you win.

You’re getting things wrong here man  
What I’m trying to say is that, the fun in gambling is felt more when the winnings are more, I’m sure you already know that nothing is certain in gambling and the moment a player stakes a game, automatically the player is already hoping to make a win and the ability to forfeit and take losses is what makes one a rigid gambler which doesn’t mean the impact of the loss isn’t felt.

I’m not actually kicking against other’s opinions but what I’m trying to say is that personally I think the fun in gambling is felt mostly when the winning are more if you think I’m wrong, I think you should try conducting a little physical survey in your local community if gambling is permitted

If someone is greedy enough in gambling, then he will only feel happy when he succeeds in achieving quite a large number of wins. Because he will only feel happy when he feels satisfied enough. Meanwhile, someone who is greedy enough will never feel satisfied, they will continue to feel lacking even after winning. So in other words, it will be quite difficult for someone who is greedy enough to get pleasure from gambling.

And the easiest thing to be able to enjoy gambling is not to be too greedy in gambling, and being able to understand that being able to win at gambling is not something that is easy enough for us to achieve, is something that is quite important.
Be grateful for every win we get and accept every loss we experience, never behave silly by continuously placing bets to return and recover a loss experienced previously. And one more thing, never compare the wins we get with the wins other people get, because it is impossible that everyone will have the same luck at the same time.

There are things that may be a bit difficult to explain, but I think the statement that 80% of people gamble to make a profit is true. Moreover, the majority of gamblers are from the lower middle class. So the main goal is to make a profit. But a small portion of the rich population gambles just for fun because they play with their little money, which for many people may be quite valuable. This mindset cannot be generalized to mean that gambling is only to make a profit. I myself come from a lower middle class, of course I also think that I have to make a profit when gambling.

Gambling is fun when the games are played based on the enjoyment and entertainment of it and not the winnings as the primary motive behind the session,  as for what makes a game enjoyable we may mention winning since that is the only way we can stay motivated and enjoying the game more but above that also is the overall mindset of taking gambling for just relaxation activities and not the money aspect of things as many mistakes it to be.
Gambling is way more than what we intend it to be and the casinos take the time to develop the games in such a way that it gives players some form of excitement and entertainment reason why some gamblers keep playing even when the outcome is not in their favor in some cases.

In gambling, it is believed that best way to engage in the game is to gamble for fun but like you said, I can authoritatively say that  more than 80% of gamblers engage in it because the fact that they want to make a living out of it. And the one who doesn't depend on it to make a living engages in gambling to make profits and that's why I think most people take all the necessary risk they can take on betting just to make profit.
So many gamblers do play down the fact that the main reason they engage in gambling is to make significant profits out of it but wether they accept it or not, it doesn't change the fact that most gamblers engage in gambling because of the profits

[Westinhome]

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?

The gambler who want to make the money in the gambling should ready to risk the money using in the gambling site.Because making money in the gambling site is not the easy one,as we know the gambling had two set of game.One is casino,which is used by the most of the gamblers.Because it was based on the prediction of the game,if the gambler had failed to predict for once.The gambler are force to loss the funds at that time,So it continues till your prediction was correct.The second one is sports betting,this is more easy if you have the sports knowledge.But the random betting in the sports betting was never accepted one,because random betting will give you loss.

Your point cannot be denied because it is the middle or lower class people who are usually desperate to make money from gambling. They try to make quick money. How to get rich fast A rich person has less of such a desire even though the rich try to get richer. But the poor are less likely to earn money from gambling. Rich and poor alike should not think of profiting from gambling. We consider it the logical conclusion to accept general gambling as fun. Those who take up gambling to make money are more likely to lose. I think there is no specific category for responsible gambling. Both rich and poor can do it.

When it comes to exact percentages then this is something there's no clear about into those numbers but pretty sure that only a few would really be that winners compared into those losers
on which i could say that those statistics would really be that entirely be opposite on which we know that house do always win at the end and even if we do speak about strategic type
of gambling games but it wont really be something that would be enough for you do have that assurance that you could really be able to win up the game.
It would really be always a matter of luck and this is something that you shouldnt really be fixing your mindset in regarding to this one.

That's always the case. Many people turn to gambling because they believe it is the only way to make a lot of money quickly. However, they may not know about other alternatives to make money. Even if they have a job, some people are still willing to take risks and gamble in the hopes of making more money.

[STT]

The idea is the carrot on the stick but seriously most people dont seriously expect sudden riches.  At least the possibility is enough motivation to play the game briefly or repeatedly but mostly people dont seriously consider themselves on the yellow brick road to meet the wizard of betting riches, this is a nice story but not an actual reality confirmed by many.  Maybe a few but I dont expect sudden riches or great luck to accumulate in my favor nor do I think most others do, play for fun to remove boredom perhaps sounds alot more closer to what occurs.

Duh.

Of course people's gonna gamble for money. The very concept of gambling in the first place (before brick and mortar casinos even existed) was to compete with other people, luck involved and all that, for the money that they will wager against yours. Since time immemorial money has been involved every single time gambling is brought up, so it's not surprising to see people gambling for money/profit right now, as depressing as that may be. Now why, you say, am I so against gambling for profit if I know about how common it is in this industry? To that I say, Common doesn't mean Normal.

Way back then it would've been okay to gamble for profit. After all, most gambling take place on a PVP (Player vs. Player) level only and does not involve anyone mediator that takes money out of their hands and puts them into this fake situation where they have to battle against the house for the money. But since that was the case now, and the addiction paradigms within this industry is at an all-time-high, I reckon people should start thinking about other ways to have fun while not earning money, and that may or may not involve gambling.

I've been able to crack the code (at least I think) when it comes to gambling for entertainment, so for better or for worse I'm not gonna be a part of the gambling addiction statistic, but you could be, and that's why you should think twice about gambling for profit.

[SmartGold01]

That is the true definition of gambling since they risk money on bets for profits but ideally we don't tell ourselves the simple truth rather we keep saying we gamble for fun, I know too well that when money is removed from gambling then it's no longer interested for people to start paying attention to gamble. Gambling is another fast means to get the required money needed but it takes time for that fortune to come, that is why it's periodically on a chance based game.
There isn't a day people will be so sure about their predicted games rather, whatever game they places is under probability +-.

[alani123]

For real, I believe that the majority of people that bet on sports think that they're somehow beat the system.

Considering how bookies make their money though, why would anyone think it'd be possible to realistically make money from sportbets is beyond me.
Sports bets have a house edge just like every other gambling activity does. And in fact, it's even more common for sports bets to have a very high house edge if calculated correctly.

I think people need to realize that bookies, especially in crypto sports books, make a high % profit on each market on average, this money comes from players. So it's easy to lose money than make it reliably. The odds are against you and no matter how good of a punter you are, the way bookies raise or lower odds always gets you in the end, unless you stop early.

Well I can say there are only few persons that actually do this and I believe this would be the type of gamblers that are already made because these type of gambler don't actually play for the winning involved but maybe for the pleasure that comes with all the adrenaline pump of actually gambling. There are many types of gambler today that would argue differently to this thought but with all what I research on, I think I can say some gamblers actually do stake for the genuine fun involved gambling.

[ralle14]

The intention to profit is still there because they stack up even if you gamble with smaller amounts, but the difference is that you take it less seriously, unlike others who put in more time and effort because you know that gambling is more likely going to make you lose money at some point.

Those gamblers would still try to win because winning usually makes it fun, but they're more aware of their capabilities.

[Dewi Aries]

There is no fun in gambling when you come to earn, even if there is you will definitely not pay much attention and feel it because fun is not your goal, and I can already confirm that when you have the intention and purpose of gambling to earn then obviously the number of trials will definitely be more than gamblers who come just for leisure and also with the aim of fun. and certainly is that you will end up suffering a lot of stress from the many losing situations you experience, we must understand that gambling is a "possible" activity which means there is no certainty that you can always win and when you don't win, In the event that you've got a lot of time on your hands, you're going to want to make sure that you've got a good idea of what you're going to be doing and what you're going to be doing.

This is why it is always advisable not to put any expectations or goals other than fun in gambling, because if you are too serious especially with the goal of earning then obviously the number of tries will be more frequent while the overall victory always depends on how lucky you are in running the session, no matter how skilled you are because luck is an important aspect in gambling. The point is as I said that fun will turn into tension when you have the goal of earning.

[klidex]

For me, gambling is just to have fun but I also hope to make a profit, but if not, then I consider it unlucky and I can still accept my defeat. Please note that most people who bet definitely want to make a profit, even watching the match, it's not fun if they haven't. betting because it can provide its own challenges for bettors, if the result is losing they can still accept it because gambling is full of risks.

I think this is not a problem because it is up to them to use their money for whatever it is. Whether for gambling or for fun, but the big possibility is that they want to make a profit by risking everything even though this is not necessary because risking all the money just to gamble can cause unnecessary losses even though they are having fun. Because I'm sure the more they gamble, the more losses they will incur and the fun can turn into disappointment.

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.

Gamblers will enjoy gambling only when they have a lot of winnings. When gamblers lose a lot of money they are in depression due to which they have to make some wrong decisions and face huge losses to recover the lost money.  However, we should not be overly greedy while gambling, if we win a little money, we should stop gambling.

What I am trying to say is that winning makes us happy but losing makes us sad. When a gambler keeps winning one after another then he will be very happy in mind and when everything is good for him but if the opposite happens if he keeps losing one after another then he will look depressed. A gambler does not always gamble for fun, but before taking it for fun, he plans to make a profit by gambling. But what you said that we should never over covet is absolutely true and we should always follow this. 

In a gamble we get the result we expected then we should not take another gamble but that time we should think about taking a break and give our brain some time so that the brain can make the right decision and the tension so that the brain does not take any wrong decision. If we can gamble like that, I don't think the outcome of the gamble will always go against us.

Its normal with those kind of reactions or emotions since we are humans. If you arent that having those kind of emotions then what does it mean? We do play gambling for thrill and excitement
and most of the time it would really be that pertaining on making profits in the end of the day. We do risk money to earn money and this is why it would really be that best that you should really be playing gambling for the sake of fun so that you wont really be that putting up yourself on being addicted because once you have been shackled by addiction then its so damn hard to get out. I did really come into a point that i have that become a bit addicted with gambling and luckily i was able to control myself on the time that i have those money shortage due to those kind of problems which i cant be able to sustain because of too many loans.
