Gambling for fun and not a way of making money

[coin-investor]

There's a lot of debate about gambling whether is it for fun or a way to make money, this is the exact definition of gambling.

When we go to a casino, or a lottery, or a horse betting station, or challenge a friend for a bet, we are betting or risking our money for a chance to double it so the act is a motivation for us that we want to make money from gambling.

And on the part of having fun, it is betting your money that you can afford to lose, it's not fun anymore when you put your money intended to pay a bill it's impossible to have fun doing that, your wife is going to despise you if you do that.

We all want to make money from betting it is just human to hope to make money from risking his money, all casinos are created to invite you to take a chance of doubling your money, but they don't want you to use your savings or money to pay bills which is they always remind players to only play what they can afford to lose and they expect their players to take heed of their call to gamble responsibly.

There's a thrill in playing in a casino and you want to go home still remembering that thrill and not the money that you lose intended for food, you will just hate yourself for doing that and you will forget all the fun you have.

As in the title made by OP, that is true because I have played gambling in the casino several times just for fun, and it doesn't matter to me even if I lose because my goal is really just to have fun or just pass the time. Although sometimes, even though my motive is just like that, there is also a chance that I will also experience a win.

That's why my winnings always range from around $20 to $50. I get them in slot games and Baccarat when I'm lucky, but I really just want to have fun, and when I win like that, I stop.

Gambling for fun doesn’t mean you will lose always. It seems that you frequently lose on your gambling which means that having on a casino cost you a lot but I understand it since I can still be happy even if I lose on gambling sometimes. It’s really more fun if you frequently win rather than losing because there’s always part of you that will cling to that lose money.

That's why my winnings always range from around $20 to $50. I get them in slot games and Baccarat when I'm lucky, but I really just want to have fun, and when I win like that, I stop.

Lucky 9 is a popular version of Bacarrat in my country which I really like because you will have an option to hit or stand for your own cards unlike the traditional bacarrat which you will just choose between player and dealer to bet.

Gambling they said is very risky and we can't dispute the facts that people always said we should gambling for fun while directly we always have money involved in it, no matter how we try to rephrase the whole concepts we know that gambling involves money and for that we should be very mindful on how we put our money to gamble because that is the only major interest of casino owners. Their major interest is for a gambler to never win whenever they are gambling because the more they win the more they lose money.

The casino is programmed very way hard for you and I to win, even if you must win the possibility is very low therefore gambling is never gambling when money is not involved. That is to say when you exclude money from gambling you may finds it difficult to gamble because there is no profits flowing in anymore and lots of people wouldn't mind quitting gambling because there is no benefits coming from it.

Gambling for fun is like paying a premium service, such as 5 star hotels perhaps, other than booking a cheaper one if it is just for the sake of having a roof to stay. Idea is with the experience; you could be losing in gambling but if you enjoyed the thrill, the game, nd the chance of earning profit then for sure you are entertained. Although it is not exactly the same feeling or experience but I do associate it with such instance; paying for more. If it is just for pure entertainment and putting bets aside, then you could just watch a game on television. However, betting is the flavor of watching a game. Accepting the tendency or possibility of losing is what will make a gambler enjoy gambling. But no matter how we want to look at gambling, it is a normal response to chase money for those who hope that much simply because they took the risk. They won't be chasing such feat if they're just watching and not being tensed of whatever outcome happens.

No matter how you twist this, gambling for fun will never make sense to me because I do not see any fun gambling with my money. Assuming that there were fun in gambling, the fact that money is involved, emotions will be engaged and this will dissipate the fun. If we treat gambling as fun, we might become careless, not adhering strictly to rules and strategy made to ensure the gambler protect his capital and manage his winnings effectively. Therefore, I see gambler as a business which require that the gambler remained focused and disciplined. In addition, since it involves money, proper money management must be put in place so the gambler do not get carried away by fear, greed or a combination of both.

That is because you are seeing gambling as a money making method, a job or an investment. Therefore, indeed you aren't going to see any fun on this, since you are solely doing this for the income. Along your gambling session there won't be room for fun and relaxation, because you are constantly concerned about making profit from it to justify the time and money "invested" on gambling. And once you spot gambling is not working as you would like it worked, you get upset, frustrated and angry.

However, not every gamblers have the same mindset of yours. Some people just want to relax after a stressing day at the job, or to get rid of the boredom of having an idle life, what is pretty common among people who don't have any issues with money, but have issues finding what to do with their money. In these cases, gambling is going to be fun, anyway, despite the outcomes still being negative and unprofitable on long run.

It's important to keep in mind there are gamblers and gamblers. And those who are seeking for money exclusively are engaged on this activity following a wrong concept.

Everything depends on the person, if he wants to gamble to make money or have fun as long as it is money that he can afford to lose that will be fine, but if he is gambling to make money using his savings or money coming from loans and that money is a money that he should not lose, he is pressured to win and this is not fun, everything depends on the money you're using and your motivation on how you are going to use it.
So it's two things that define gambling to make money and gambling to have fun, the money where it comes from its intended to be used, and your motivation.

If you already know how to control yourself when gambling, it means you already understand how to gamble responsibly, moreover you already understand how to use the mindset of gambling which is actually just for fun, if you understand that, usually you also have can know when to gamble and when to stop gambling and then withdraw money, I think not many can do that because basically most gamblers always think that gambling is a place to make steady money for them, so they think they don't need to work anymore looking for money is just enough to gamble and make money there, even though that is clearly difficult to imagine, let alone make it a reality.

Every time we gamble, luck accompanies us, so the profits we get, if we can manage it, will definitely not be lulled by high results, just bet and win then withdraw the money, this method is more effective than thinking about continuing to play and continuing the game and ultimately losing all the money. , will definitely be regretted. That's the importance of gambling to have fun because the mind is not focused on winning, so you can enjoy the game more and it's easy to win.

[Litzki1990]

I will say again like other times that we have many more options just to have fun, since we have more options to have fun then why should we take such fun with maximum risk of money. A gambler never gambles with the idea that gambling will be a lot of fun, but with the idea that he will surely win by gambling. Fun usually comes from winning because winning at gambling increases your money and you feel better when you increase your money. You ask people who lose at gambling how much they enjoy losing or how much fun they have losing their money.

Making money is hard and people risk money to make money, money is not a fun thing at all. So I would like to stay in my conclusion that there are many options for fun, we must not have such fun with maximum risk of money.

[Cookdata]

Gambling has many meaning to people but if you ask me what gambling is about, I will say it's risk people take to win something and that thing they anticipate to win is money, the only thing that keep gambling running, the reason why we have increased in the number of people that gamble are motivated by the money but I must also admit that we have some people that gamble for fun, they don't really care about the money but then again, the amount they put is always way below the amount they can afford to lose, you don't expect someone to risk big amount of money in thousands and millions to gamble unless they are trying to do money laundering.

If Gambling is really existing because of the fun, we will have less number. If there is even a casino where money is not even, like they open it free for everyone, trust me when I say people will not patronize them, they will rather go to where money is involved and where the can win something that's why I don't take people serious when they say they are gambling for fun yet you are been careful when you stake and get sad when you lose, that's not way to be fun.

[moneystery]

people's interpretations of "gambling is for fun" may vary, some say that gambling for fun is when you gamble but you think that you don't need to take gambling too seriously or just enjoy the excitement of the game. but i see that gambling for fun is when you don't consider that gambling is not your place to be able to double your money and don't consider that it is an investment for you. the point is that you don't think that gambling is not a place to make money and you are ready for all the risks that your money will be lost.

[teamsherry]

It's possible to gamble for fun like playing play to earn games or maybe p2p gambling games, but gambling is an addictive habit and at times might still go out of control into playing for the reward, and it's good we have a level of control over our gambling habit least we use the excuse of saying we are gambling for fun to promote a bad habit and reck our finances. Im getting quite interested in fun gambling games can you recommend any to me .

[ethereumhunter]

People who can use gambling for fun is the lucky people. They will not try to gambling excessively because they know that will give an experience of a huge losses that they can't accept. Many people experienced much losses are tried to reduce their gambling activities and will not repeat their mistakes. They know that when they gambling, they will experience losses and if they lose control, their lose will be bigger and that will difficult to recover even if they deposit more money.

It's really not worth for people to lose much money in gambling. They will lose more money and it will increase if they can't stop gambling. They can reduce their gambling activities step by step if they feel it's hard to stop gambling directly. Stopping gambling requires much effort and also a strong intention to be able to stop immediately without any difficulties.

It is not gambling for fun only. That is not complete. It is gambling for fun and not seeing gambling as a way of making money

It is not something wrong to see gambling as a way of making money as long as we are responsible for it.
There are many professional gamblers (mostly poker players and sports bettors) in this world who use gambling as a way of making money and they can be said as succesful gamblers.
I would prefer to say, it is fine to take gambling as a way of making money but it should be done with fun and responsibility.

[asyakashi]

many people make the mistake of considering gambling for fun, because many people think it is impossible to have fun spending a lot of money, as op said the meaning of fun is just entertainment without having to expect more results, because the money used is definitely small for having fun

[rachael9385]

Some people among us are no getting what the meaning is. This is an example:

We have said it several times without number on this gambling board that gambling is not for making money. Gambling should only be for fun.

LOLz
I was an advocate of this (gambling solely for fun and nothing else) but honestly, I've changed my mind, it is wrong to believe that people will spend all of their hard earned money on gambling just for them to have fun, very wrong believe if you ask me.
There are several games people can play for free for fun's sake, there are video games that are way more interesting and fun to play than any slot or casino game, there are also some really good betting games that are far more intriguing to play than sports betting, what exactly do you think make slot games, Casino games, and even sports betting so interesting that people would want to spend their money on it just to have fun? As far as I know, non of this games are as interesting as playing a good video game on my laptop or mobile phone for free.

To believe that gambling should be done purely for fun is dilusional(sorry to say), I once posted a poll on this board where I asked gamblers on this forum that, if the possibility of making money through gambling is completely removed, and they have to keep spending their money to gamble, but will never win a dime because it's completely for fun, will they keep gambling?, the 100 percent who those who answered the pool said no, that they would stop gambling, for what is the essence of gambling if they can't win money.

It is not gambling for fun only. That is not complete. It is gambling for fun and not seeing gambling as a way of making money
It is what we want newbie gamblers to read to remember if they lose huge amount and know they should only gamble to have fun and not a way of making money
It means huge amount should not be used to gamble
It means using gambling to make money is irresponsible gambling habit for the rich not to become poor
It also means gambling should not be taking your time that supposed to be used for important things
It means people should not be addicted to gambling
It means gambling can be good but if gambling responsibly
It means if gambling is taking money from you than expected, quit gambling as you are not gambling for fun and the later outcome can be bad.

You can by beer to have fun and not seeing it as a waste of money. You can give a friend little amount of money in a way he may want to give you back but you will not collect it as you see it as small amount, telling him it is a small amount of money. Only such money like that, that are small in amount set aside should only be used for gambling. That is the meaning. The fun you see there does not necessary mean fun. Just like an ideom.

There is no way one can gamble for fun and don't have small intentions of gambling for money. It's hard but when we control the love of money we have we can manage to control the habit of gambling for money. One of the way we can control the habit of gambling for money is even when we lose we won't get angry because we lose. All bettors are not the same because everything there are people who's involving extra mindset on it. Like gambling I don't like gambling for fun because I don't see any reason losing my money, I can't remember when last I gamble for fun. However I am not against gambling for fun because gambling for profit making it is not a good way of making money as it's not a part time or full time job for anyone.

That's why my winnings always range from around $20 to $50. I get them in slot games and Baccarat when I'm lucky, but I really just want to have fun, and when I win like that, I stop.

Sometimes when I hear that people are gambling for fun, I just laughed because its not actually for fun. Many of us gamble for increase our bank role and make more money not actually gambling for fun. The gambling world is all about trying our best with different strategies for us to make money from betting. We don't have to be over relax and try to receive ourselves that we are all in for the fun.
 We can't make money if we have in mind to gamble for the fun we are actually talking about. We all wants to make money and that is all that we care about. We want to be making money without minding what happens to others, whether they are earning or not.

[SatoPrincess]

Gambling is entirely large and very hard to fully comprehend because when you say we shouldn't spend time on gambling how do we enhance our skills or becoming more acquainted with it to know how to predicts and master the rest things? Sometimes the impression people gives in gambling makes us not understand the better way to follow it all, why because you will see someone who doesn't want to spend time and yet looking for a way win big from gambling.

Gambling is highly dependent on luck and less skill. You speak of gambling as if it is a business or a job. I don’t see the sense in spending time gambling just to get acquainted with it. How much do you think you would spend on gambling before you become acquainted with it? If you’re into sports betting, it’s normal for you to spend time researching the teams and analyzing their games before making your predictions. But for casino games, there is no need for this. Your fate rests on your lucky hand.

It is easy to say that gambling is fun but in reality gambling can be taken as fun by some people. No matter how much a gambler takes gambling as fun, after a while gambling is no longer fun for him, but gambling is considered a significant means of earning money. Suppose a gambler initially takes it as fun but after some time if he faces big losses from gambling then he takes gambling as a challenge. Gambling became a dominant source of income for him when he became busy trying to recover his gambling losses.
So no matter how much we accept gambling simply as a source of entertainment but in fact when it becomes such an addiction in people then the gambler automatically takes gambling as a source of income.

[Rockstarguy]

The truth is that the essence of playing gambling is to win to realise some amount of money from gambling, in doing this we need to understand gambling which we shouldn't allow the money that is involved in gambling to get into our head, this is when gambling is now wrong.  Their should be a limit and good understanding of gambling and people shouldn't just take gambling so serious by making money from it by all means . When we understand the limit of how Gambling should be played gambling will be seeing as fun and with this manner their won't be any dangerous effect in playing gambling.
