Gambling for fun and not a way of making money

[Poker Player]

Well, that's not my case, because playing poker is a side hustle for me, and the fun part is less and less as the years go by. It is entertaining, but it has become a routine for me. It also has to do, I guess, that I have been playing at the same level for a long time and I don't go for new challenges such as trying to climb levels or try new modalities.

In general, for the casino player, betting should be for fun and with money that he can absolutely afford to lose, but it is precisely the possibility of winning money that makes it fun.

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.

Well, the idea of gambling should be that way how you describe gambling is. However, as people learned that gambling may give you a little more of a reward for the money you spent with gambling, and so people starts to go beyond on what's supposed to be budgeted for gambling for "fun".
Now, this is where the fun will get replaced as second to making money and this is where addiction begins as well if one is not being careful on how we deal with our gambling urges and needs.
We can't deny that most of us is either gamble to have fun and make money or make money as first priority while having fun.

[Teraboy]

I agree, gambling should be seen as a form of entertainment, and not a way to make money. It's important to set a budget or small amount for gamling, for example, you are going night out with friends, then you set aside $50, treating it like any other entertainment expense for the night like buying drinks or tickets. Treating gambling as other recreational activity, you can avoid financial stress and enjoyed with everyone.

well to be fair there are professional gamblers that make money off it but as their profession mentioned already they are professional they know the ins and outs of gambling game that they are committed to and also know how to manage emotions and money. they know when to stop and when to game, but fair number of them also either went bankrupt or become millionaire its a game of odds after all, the chance of failing is always there as well as the chance of success, speaking philosophically, what are there activities that tries to gain more money that don't involve risk of losing money I think there are none.
its just with gambling its kinda fast paced outcome instead of business where usually we need 2 years to see whether the business is viable enough and have market for it.
if someone is noob, never think of making money, its game of odd.

You know that sometimes, even if a gambler's intention is just for fun, they still can't help but win well when they are also struck by luck in the casino where they choose to gamble. So, it means that when luck hits them, they can still take home a winning prize, even if it is not that big of a win.

It is better because you are not expected in such situations, as long as you are just enjoying yourself, but you can still get a jackpot if you are lucky enough to gamble one day.

[Assface16678]

It has beed discussed a numerous times that even gambling is made for fun or the intention  of a gambler at first is for fun, eventually they will change as you will not undergo change if they end up losing more money than winning in gambling games, and because losing is the common nature of a gamble then expecr that at some point gamblers will lose it and abondo the fun part and start to play gamble for the sake of money, lets face it no matter what fun we will think about gambling in the end of the day many gamblers are being too addicted with gambling that they will start to stop having fun  unstead recover the money they have loss or some hoping for a big win that could change their lives. I personally undergo changes when it comes to gambling; I develop anger management and am also too reckless when it comes to money handling.

[Out of mind]

There is no way one can gamble for fun and don't have small intentions of gambling for money.

But like I said, it has been made clear to the person that gambling is dangerous if you are using it to chase money, that the end result or outcome may be bad. It is easy for newbie gamblers to understand that. So if they gamble and chasing money and lost money often, they will know they have read about not chasing money while gambling is true. Gambling with small amount of money will give you a peace of mind.

If a gambler continues to pursue gambling after being told clearly, it is certainly dangerous for him. It is true, however, that if one gambles in pursuit of money, it will never bring good results, rather he will only lose and never win. Most new gamblers are very inexperienced when it comes to betting, which is why they always end up gambling to make money. But knowing it can destroy a user and player even if they don't know about it, they are not careful about it and at one time lose their money and get mentally broken. But it is best to use small amount of money for peace of mind while gambling, if luck is good in future then eventually you can win more money from small amount of money.

The ideal would be to see the game in that way just for fun, and for the money to come if it has to come, that's the ideal thing, only because there are people, or there are people who when we are in the game sometimes we don't worry about these things , because of the emotions and we can say that sometimes the emotions cannot be controlled and you can lose money there and if you lose money it is not healthy, things have to have a balance, you cannot think that things are just losing the I give it and that's it, because if we lose it to recover it is the most difficult thing, you have to do a lot of things, I see the game as a very delicate activity, many times I have said that the best thing is to control our money before losing, and that means To say that the money is little, because very few people are short of money, I am talking about about 10-20usd which is not much, so depending on the capacity of each person, well that amount varies.

Some think that controlling emotions means controlling everything, and that is not the case, emotions are the most difficult thing for humans to control and it is something that I do not recommend doing, therefore it is easier if we control the money we have. dedicated to the game because there it does enter the level of fun, the emotions that are reflected do not matter, but as long as the money is repeated willing to play and lose, if you lose what you should do is withdraw, not insist with more money or anything, because what will it do is lose, if that is fulfilled there if the expectations of fun are fulfilled and also opens the expectations of being able to win some money if you are lucky, I see it like this, what happens is that Each person has their own way of seeing the game and seeing how they can make their strategy, but it is preferable to control money as it is easier than controlling emotions.

Yes, you have completed my idea and statement above that it is best to treat gambling as a place for entertainment only, because it is too dangerous and in the end you will only lose a lot of money when gambling with the aim and hope of earning, it will never end because you will only rotate in the cycle of "chasing victory to restore something that was lost before" and however it is a very difficult idea to realize, which in the end you will lose even more. This is why we are always advised to gamble without any expectation of winning as well as being a responsible gambler by only putting in small amounts that we can afford to lose.

Well that's right, I agree with you that emotions are a difficult thing to control, not everyone can do it and most of them usually end up acting more aggressively because they are unable to ignore the emotions in themselves when a losing situation occurs, and obviously the point and the key is if you don't want to end up with emotions because of losing then obviously the allocation of money on gambling must be correct, The point is that we must be able to see from various sides, especially about the possible risks involved in gambling which in fact cannot always be avoided, and by understanding this then obviously you will definitely prefer to apply many precautions such as reducing the amount of budget along with limiting the time of involvement. The fact is that anyone can win but it is only an uncertain chance in the sense that it is unlikely to always happen and this is why losing is more common.

Some people don't understand that when a person says that they gamble for fun and not for the gains, it doesn't mean they don't like money or they wouldn't like it if they hit the jackpot or won a lot of money out of luck, but the actual implication of gambling for fun is that a person wouldn't be bothered much if they lose the money they are using for gambling because they have already decided that they won't chase gains and profits with this money but if they manage to get something, that is great.

The fun in gambling is a mixture or wins and losses and the thrill that it carries, gambling for fun doesn't mean that you would just spend your money thinking that you should just lose because that wouldn't be fun. It's fun when you have a good time, and a good time is only when you face thrilling times when you are gambling.

[Hypnosis00]

In fact, the meaning of gambling is entertainment but wondering how it changed and became known as a money-maker. This is probably because of these gambling influencers who always say -multiply your money through gambling which changed the mindset of most gamblers, especially beginners. The strategy is quite working so well and many people are encouraged to gamble after seeing some players win the jackpot and become rich instantly. It sticks in their mind and that also gives them a reason why they are gambling already. We even see a lot of poor people gambling hoping to win big time and change their life.

Professional gamblers thrive and develop their craft. A captain guides them across chance's perilous waters, but don't romanticize it. The world of statistical probability is harsh. Every business venture, investment, and decision is risky. The key to financial growth is risk management. Gamblers and businesspeople examine, calculate, and fail. The key difference? Timeframe. Gambling's instant gratification attracts many

However, unskilled people misjudge chances and overestimate their abilities. Fundamentally, knowledge, discipline, and knowing one's limits are key. Any risky undertaking is a plunge into the void with hope as the only parachute without these

Yes and entertainment or fun is something that can distract a person from the idea of gambling to earn, there is no other better point of view than to make or address gambling as nothing more than an activity just to seek entertainment and fun when you have free time and when you want to engage in gambling. The concern is for those beginners who have just come and are new to gambling, because the first win is very likely to make them put their faith and hope in winning and it can make them act further in gambling, and not only that because the influencer or stremer is also a fact that can greatly influence a person in gambling.

They broadcast something that looks very tempting along with some education that can make people interested and increasingly convinced that gambling can solve financial problems, they brainwash people through tantalizing impressions, getting a big win is very easy for influencers or stremers because obviously they are agents who work with casinos to promote casino sites and they get paid according to the agreement, the point is that casinos facilitate or organize gambling by influencers when they are streming in order to get a big win with the aim that many people are interested and enter and gamble on the casino sites that are promoted. On the other hand, what is worrying is when this is experienced by poor people who come with the aim of changing their fate, but in the end the reality of losing slaps them when it turns out that the results are far from what is expected.

[lizarder]

Not only just this one because if gamblers or bettors used to be that responsible then we wont really be seeing too much platforms or businesses that would be seen as of today or simply this gambling industry wont really be that much big as of this day and this is something that we can be able to distinguish about their main difference as of this moment. Gambling should really be just that for fun and not for making money because these are businesses on which it is really that built for giving out leisure at the same time they are really that indeed making money due to gamblers greed and impulsive emotions on which it causes out for people to have that
mistakes which it is really that something that fueling them up with revenue. Yes, they arent intentional but rather they are really that having that advantageous approach when it comes to this because they are really that
trying out to take advantage without us seeing it.

The one who makes money remains the casino owner, while the gamblers will only win occasionally and lose more often. Now there are many platforms that provide gambling sites making it easier for people to gamble, so this is also a difficult factor for people to be responsible for the gambling they play. Having fun and making money at gambling is not a problem as long as they do not place gambling as their main income stream.

The problem is when people think about earning steady money from gambling and they have no other job. So they are unable to control cash flow and are unable to handle expenses or income as a permanent daily need, this kind of gambling is a problem because they are not able to be responsible.

Some people don't understand that when a person says that they gamble for fun and not for the gains, it doesn't mean they don't like money or they wouldn't like it if they hit the jackpot or won a lot of money out of luck, but the actual implication of gambling for fun is that a person wouldn't be bothered much if they lose the money they are using for gambling because they have already decided that they won't chase gains and profits with this money but if they manage to get something, that is great.

The fun in gambling is a mixture or wins and losses and the thrill that it carries, gambling for fun doesn't mean that you would just spend your money thinking that you should just lose because that wouldn't be fun. It's fun when you have a good time, and a good time is only when you face thrilling times when you are gambling.

People misunderstood the meaning according to you guys but on my own understanding it indicate that whoever that says that the Gamble based on phone that is literally mean that the gamble in order to catch Cruise not to gain anything for advantages but the normal circumstance everyone who is into gambling or who engage itself into gambling that means that that person really want money is not that is gambling because of Cruise that is what I want to let people to understand there is different between entertainment and the gambling you can gamble because of the entertainment or you can gamble due to entertainment but it aspect of winning money everybody is curious everybody is desperate and everybody is anxious to ensure that it gambling prediction goes according to his will.

Absolutely. It’s not fun anymore if you are losing your funds, so gamble to make some profits and when you have it, certainly fun follows. But that’s good only for professional gamblers as they can increase their chances of winning and reduce the risk to lose. However, for beginner gamblers, gamble just for fun so you can limit your losses and when you have gained various experiences in gambling, that’s the time to look for profits. Its never bad to gamble for profits as long as you set your limits in gambling, otherwise you will go home with an empty wallet.

I believe this idea gamble for fun is only good if you are not a frequent gambler. But if you are a regular gambler and you have been losing more than winning, I’m sure gambling for fun won’t work anymore as you are now gambling to recover your losses and attract more winnings.

maybe because many people have proven that it is possible to make a lot of money gambling, especially if you know how to use the money you win properly. it is really just for the entertainment of other people because it was made as a game but because money has come with it and money is needed to be able to play here, that's when gamblers realized that it can be made into one of our sources of income.

[killerfrost]

Gambling's all good for some fun, but let's not sugarcoat it. The "just play for fun" motto is cool, but gotta be real – the odds are stacked against you like a deck of cards with all the aces missing. Casinos ain't charities, they're in the business of making money, so don't expect to win big every time.

Sure, thinking "just for fun" can help keep things chill, but don't let it cloud your judgment. Set limits, stick to 'em like glue, and only bring what you can afford to lose. Remember, chasing losses is like trying to catch smoke – you'll just end up frustrated and empty-handed.

And let's be honest, an hour can feel like a lifetime when you're winning, but when the tide turns, it's gone faster than a magician's rabbit. Manage your time wisely, don't get sucked in, and know when to call it quits.

Gambling influencers has grown more than ever before. They share information about different types of bets and new games that can be attractive to new gamblers. If the new gamblers are gambling for fun, but the effect of gambling influencer, those gamblers will change their gambling intentions. A gambler cannot say that he gambling only for fun. When a gambler has no desire to gain more from gambling. They may use gambling for fun as they try to spend as much money as they can afford to lose. The greed for money works in everyone but thus newbies tend to be more prone to this.

But it is best to use small amount of money for peace of mind while gambling, if luck is good in future then eventually you can win more money from small amount of money.

Gambling is mostly probability and so it's not a good idea to be bent on gambling or trusting in gambling because you may most likely end up disappointed by the time the results is out and it's not what you expected it will be, new gamblers are the once who always want to make gambling a source of income a d they end up messing things up most times because some of them actually gets greedy and before you know it they begin to loose more money trying to gain or recover that which has been lost but then it's actually true that you can still win some good amount from gambling even as a first timer with or without any good strategy so it's mostly a thing of luck most of the times and not about how well skilled you are .

Some times its not necessarily the fact that the gambler is experienced or not, neither is it by staking power or all other factors, it might just be absolute luck playing out on them and so Gambling isn't and shouldn't be considered dependable at all.

[GigaBit]

Considering gambling as an opportunity to earn money is tantamount to arousing greed. When gambling is managed after considering gambling as part of entertainment, there is scope for responsible gambling management. Money can also be earned from gambling but considering it as a regular source of income is completely pointless. Since there is an uncertain outcome between winning and losing a gambler can either lose money or win. A gambler is fit for gambling as long as he keeps gambling under his own control. Excessive greed will lead a person in the wrong direction rather than gambling. Gambling should be prioritized rather than envisioned as a source of income.

[Davidvictorson]

Some people engage in gambling not just for making money but also for the thrill of taking chances and social interactions. As gambling it’s not just limited to staking bets as we call it. Some gamble by playing poker, whot and Luda etc because it provides opportunity for socializing and competitions.

Whenever I visit an online casino website  and want to gamble despite knowing what is involved, i still  experience that the emotions that makes us human. I think this emotion increases based on the type of game or type of money that is staked.

While others are motivated to gamble for just the financial gain

Those who are gamble full time gets it. While it is not advisable it is working for some others.
