Do people truly risk their money on bets for profit?

[Synchronice]

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

but I wish to know if people really have to gamble without intentions of making money?

It's impossible that there are people who gamble without the intention of making money. They are crazy if there are people like that.

People gamble to have something good in return. Gambling for the reason of having only fun is crap.

Even rich gamblers have that intention to make money in return, what's more to average gamblers. Even some people claim they are just casual gamblers and just want to have fun so they gamble, deep inside they want to win. Don't believe in this gambling for fun reasons or whatever as the ONLY purpose why they gamble.

[ethereumhunter]

Yes, people do that, I think that's the whole point of gambling is, right? You risk your money in the hopes that it's going to double in value which gives you profit. Sure you could do that and not bet but that's going to only be the peak, with betting, you're bound to get more excited and saddened when you're watching a game depending on the result, winning a bet on a sports that you've watched and loved is a different kind of fun if you ask me, plus to many people, betting is just a second thing to them, they just bet for the sake of they have something to do other than just watching.

If people doesn't think about to double their money from gambling instead just use it for having fun, they will not getting a big loss because they will know how long they need to playing gambling and how much money they can used so they will stay alert and not trying to deposit more money when they almost lose all of their money. They will prepare to stop their gambling activity while watching what the last result they got. If they lose, they will leave the casino and will do the same if they win. They will not think to recover their loss because they don't want to see more losses.

Yes, people risk their money in gambling but if they can be wise using gambling, they will not take a big risk instead just for the money they can afford. They will not break their limit because that can makes them lose much money. Related to watching the match, they will have the option and that depends on them. They will not watching the match if they don't want. But for a fan, they will watch the match while waiting for the result from their bet.

People are goin even to that extent of using their last penny to gamble, i don't know the kind of conviction such may have but its totally a bad idea to do so, we are not sure of anything we do in gambling, its only take luck and risk to gamble and win, whereas in most cases, we don't even manage to make win, if we are indeed interested about making profits, then we should just go to making business or investment and not with gambling.

if you gamble for fun, you will probably win more than someone who doesn't gamble for fun. I think playing gambling for fun will make it less dangerous because, even if you play it seriously to earn, you can't still predict the outcome.
The statement that you can gamble for fun and not expect a return is doubtful because, in my opinion, it is impossible.

Can we consider someone to be a professional or a novice gambler if they will gamble without expecting a return? This just isn't possible, in my view and
It doesn't make you a gambler at all because this is just like opening a provision shop and telling people to come and take things for free every day, and no matter how rich you are, you will get tired of it one day.

Should be obvious that the reason they risk money on placing bets aside from watching games is to expect some profit.

There are differences between bettors and pure fans who just follow the game without gambling. You can't generalize that as one.

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's no need to be confused about that and if we used our common sense here, why gamble if the intention is not to make money?

They can just look instead for a job, work, or anything not related to gambling but still, they decide to gamble. It's because people won't risk money on gambling if they see this thing unable to generate good money, not just simply good money but a truly decent amount.

Maybe there are still those who play for fun but they do it on a gambling where no real money is involved.

People will continue to risks their bets because there's no such way other than betting money to have more. Gambling without tabling real money doesn't make sense to me. Just in the illustration of trading with demo accounts, one will be making profits but its not withdrawable. We play for fun but other people are struggling to reap profits in the system. We can only struggle when we entirely depend on the system. There's no better way than watching ourselves becoming pro but it comes with a sacrifice, can one maintain balances. Gambling in the real world is risky but the gambler already set his mind on the positive energy and not giving up.

Deposit money and fight the system at different levels to receive a treasure chest full of gold at the end, just thinking about it is enough to attract people's arms, even a person who is always vigilant must pay attention and place a few bets, cost is always something necessary to spend and without achieving the goal, people become stubborn. In addition, gambling without real money can be uninteresting but I don't understand why people only aim to bet so much money, the cost of a few drinks is enough fun when playing with friends

God bless you mate for stating the obvious as I wanted to quote some parts and leave the rest but I found the post worthy of the quotes and I love how you simplified everything because most times, people argue blindly without trying to see things from the other perspective and I think that’s not right but who am I to judge them since I’m always conscious of the fact that, we all have different views on a certain topic, hence no need to panic while listening to others.
I still stand on the ground that the primary motive every gambler is to make money as there is a big difference between a gambler and a true fan who watches the game without betting on it and yet still has all the fun they desire.
There is no way you’ll bet on a match and gladly watch the team you bet in their favour losin even if every other person is happy about it, you wouldn’t be happy deep down that your favorites team is losing because you already know what’s at stake.

...

it's not impossible. there are some gamblers who gamble just for entertainment or to improve their friendships, for example in china, singapore, etc., there are quite a lot of people who gamble to be with their friends just to have fun and build their friendships. so never assume that all gamblers gamble just to make money, because not all gamblers are like that.

[KiaKia]

I called myself a responsible gambler because of two reasons.

1. I don't expect too much from gambling anyways, for many its a way to lose everything.

2. I always risk little amount, so even if I win, it won't be life changing.

The lesson to learn from this is not to be greedy with gambling, since everything about it is not certain why risk a lot of money on it as if you already know what the result will look like?

I want to make few dollars with luck when gambling, but to have that rest of mind and also be able to enjoy my time I choose to always go smaller on money spent, if my $1 can turn into $10 I am satisfied.

[junder]

People are goin even to that extent of using their last penny to gamble, i don't know the kind of conviction such may have but its totally a bad idea to do so, we are not sure of anything we do in gambling, its only take luck and risk to gamble and win, whereas in most cases, we don't even manage to make win, if we are indeed interested about making profits, then we should just go to making business or investment and not with gambling.

I think their minds are filled with gambling so they can spend all the money they have to the lowest point. Because maybe they expect the winnings that can be obtained, there are indeed wins in gambling that can be obtained, but that should not be pursued. Because by pursuing victory it will only make them lose self-control until they spend all their money. But to be clear, I also don't know for sure but the big possibility is that they have a victory and expect more from gambling.

In gambling, of course, the risk is definitely there and it is certain to happen because in gambling there are two possibilities of winning or losing, but clearly defeat will dominate more than victory. Therefore, we should be able to accept the risk of losses that will be obtained, betting for profit is certainly not wrong but what is wrong is how to respond to it, that's my own opinion.

So they are just gambling to lose and have fun? I don't totally get it; why would you gamble without an intention to win? Isn't it more fun if you are winning in gambling as well? I mean, that should be the main goal while we are gambling, but we are different from professionals since we aren't focused on gambling.

If we have time, we do it and enjoy it, win or lose, we still enjoy, but we are human. We don't feel good when we lose since we won't gamble a small amount to get entertained; it should be an amount that we feel the thrill. And once we feel the thrill in gambling, we can be happy or sad based on the outcome of our gambling.

It's very possible, although it doesn't mean that those who gamble for fun are not welcoming of the wins they might get, they don't specifically gamble for the gains, and even if they do, they just do it to try their luck and aren't spending a lot of money and chasing their losses and losing everything they have because they want to earn something from gambling but they do it casually with a fixed budget, have some fun, and if the money is lost, they are out and that's it. No regret, no remorse.
When you talk about rich people gambling for gains, I don't believe you because what I've mostly seen is that rich consider gambling a rich activity that they do to kill time and have some fun, they barely care when they lose because they don't spend all their wealth on it.

We have main goal to yield profits in the system. Professional have grown and they don't easily lose money in the system, instead they reciprocate their energy to becoming promising and dependent in the space. In gambling, we can become prosperous and also become frustrated, well it depends on the sides we chooses to belong. Risky your money on gambling have turn out to be a usual activity that happen daily in the system. We just have to hook up with appropriate measures, that's one basic intention to grab major opportunities in the system.

Just like you did stated this is your opinion but then with others it's absolutely different because they would not probably enjoy the game well enough or have as much fun as they would want to have if they don't bet or gamble on such game, every body have their own unique and peculiar way of having fun so if it doesn't seem reasonable to you, it aswell doesn't stop the fact that it's fun for some other persons, your fun may not be the definition of fun to another person and it's very okay to not make a deal out of it what matters is the fact that they are all having enough fun.

Your intentions are actually stated clearly and you should know too that there are people who actually gamble just for fun and not to make money because probably they are wealth enough already nd so they just want to have fun and not necessarily make money off gambling.

Haha, you can`t address people who don’t gamble for money as crazy. Yes, it is possible to gamble without the aim of making money. Even though conventionally, gambling is often associated with winning money or other material goods, there are instances where individuals engage in gambling activities without the primary goal of making money. Gambling can serve as a social activity where friends or family members come together to enjoy each other’s company while participating in games like poker or bingo. The camaraderie and shared experience can be more important than any monetary winnings. For instance, a group of friends gathers regularly for a game of poker, using chips instead of real money. The focus is on friendly competition and spending time together rather than monetary rewards.

In some cases, people may turn to gambling as a way to escape from stress or boredom. The immersive nature of certain games can provide a temporary distraction from real-life concerns, even if there is no expectation of winning money. For instance, an individual struggling with anxiety finds relief in visiting a nearby casino and playing slots for relaxation purposes. While hoping for wins, the main goal is to destress and enjoy the experience. Another instance where gambling occurs without the primary goal of making money is in charity events or fundraisers. Organizations often host casino nights or raffles as a means of raising funds for charitable causes. Participants purchase tickets or chips to play various games, knowing that their contributions go towards supporting a good cause rather than personal financial gain.

I think what is meant by gambling for fun does not mean that you gamble with the aim of losing, meaning that the idea and aim of fun will be useful to divert your mind from the aim of "earning" because clearly that is too dangerous an approach because gambling is not the place to earn money, that doesn't mean you have a goal of enjoyment and then you don't want to take the winnings when you're really lucky, one of the reasons is because who doesn't need money? Everyone needs money to meet their daily needs and when they succeed in winning, it is clear that the better thing to do is to cash it out as quickly as possible.

Let's straighten out that as I said above, one of the reasons why gambling is for fun is because we can avoid several actions out of control due to gambling with the aim of making a profit, in essence it will be easier for you to become a responsible gambler if basically you don't treat gambling seriously, you have also said that we don't like losing and that's normal but gambling is always about risky activities which means you have to have a way to minimize the possibility of losing if you want to stay involved in gambling, and one way is by gambling with a budget that you can be responsible for if you lose.

whosoever told you that is correct. The bottom line to why we all gamble is that we could make some profits in as much as we also catch the fun that comes with the activity. I am not sure anyone would pick interest in gamble for the sole aim of answering a gambler as I don't see the prestige and honour attached to the name gambler in any society of the world.

Catching the fin as a spectator is quite different from when you're an intrinsic part of the game. I am sure all gamblers' here can attest to how they feel different with the fun when they are taking action on the games from when they probably just followed a colleague to the gamble house just to keep company on a certain day they wish not to gamble. It's an experience you don't need to be told.

Most people are usually like that they gamble to make money and I think the percentage is greater than just for fun. This doesn't mean that people who enjoying gambling don't want to make a profit, but rather that they have fun while looking for a profit.
Actually, gambling can make money if you can use it well and use accurate skills, but yes, this is not easy because most people experience losses even though they have used their skills, so to be honest, most people bet to make money under the pretext of just having fun.

Trying to make money in gambling is not unreasonable. But not everyone can earn money form it. Those who choose gambling only to make money may rather lose their wealth in gambling. A gambler should gamble with the assumption that he will lose. Money can be earned from gambling but there is no guarantee so the gambler must take risks. No matter how experience a gambler or skill full, he can never be sure when he will win or whether he will win. If gambling is considered part of entertainment then gambling is not a problem.
