Gambling for fun and not a way of making money

[Onyeeze]

Gambling should always be a fun activity when you are having a boring time or meant to fill your free time without putting any hopes or expectations on winning. One of the reasons is because obviously I think it is a fact that there is no certainty that can guarantee us to be able to win at the end of the session because gambling is always about the possibility of winning or losing which we can never determine ourselves or meaning that no matter how much hope and dedication you have to pursue victory, if you are unlucky, you will definitely lose.

For me gambling is nothing more than an activity of profit - profit which is the reason why gambling cannot and should not be used as a place to earn because as many cases have occurred that a gambler will only experience a lot of disappointment when they try to make gambling a place to earn.

Agreed, it's an activity that should be done during free time and not working time, Gambling while one is busy with jobs will always make the gambler losses more money on the bets. When one is less busy and bored he or she can still think of gambling meanwhile they must have free money also. As they have free time they should also have free money as well. These days a lot of gamblers are beginning to know that gamble is a activity that's done ones a while just to stay safe from addiction and more losses.

When someone is busy with activities of employment job like civil service job the person will reduce gambling activities and more concentration will be going towards that of his job but when someone is jobless it's when the person will all this gambling new websites as it duty to discover a platform of gambling that gives bonus, so it's job that reduces the activities of someone in gambling not to be addicted, being addicted with gambling is basically base on you are free and their is no serious job to engage yourself that is another thing that causes addiction and not be addicted with gambling

Remember, making a fortune overnight is a fairy tale for most of us. Gambling should be the spice, not the main course of your life. Life’s got plenty more to offer than the spin of a roulette wheel.

To indulge that metaphor, gambling is the spice that's exotic, you can live without it. I guess the reason why they think that fortune is such a thing that you can get with a roll of a dice is probably stemming from the fact that people are crazy and stupid and there's a lot of these stories of people doing their final fortune and succeeding and those inevitably inspire some of them to do the same thing but they don't have the same luck and odds as their inspiration but those people don't know that, they think that they just need to continue gambling because they hope to hit that win. It's not really a fun time when you gamble but you're thinking of profiting at that session.

I only gamble for fun, it's my escape to relieve my stress and boredom. I always make sure that I only gamble with only at least 5% of my salary so it won't hurt much when I lose. I only wanted to see how my play will go. If I win, then I'm lucky. If I lose, it's okay because I only gamble with what I can afford to lose. It's all about having fun, and when you win, it's a plus. Do not stress yourselves because of gambling. We should all just enjoy and have fun.

I understand about your points, but I just not believe if there are no jobs out there and that's make them to become unemployed. I believe there are many jobs, but many people especially Gen Z are picky, that's make them don't have any job and have a lot free time.

It's true job will reduce addicts, but they become unemployed due to their own choice, not because there are no jobs.

[DiMarxist]

The fun you see there does not necessary mean fun. Just like an ideom.

If you say that gambling is fun is an idiom then I will support your assertion. I have read others have said this in several occasions that gambling is not for fun and when one wants to have fun then they would go to leisure parks to enjoy themselves with games over there. Sometimes with families and friends. The fun is at the leisure parks and not in the gambling casinos Industry. And also I see gambling as means of looking for extra pocket money for the gambler because there is no way some left home and hustle for money and got it then go to the sports book center and play games and loss all then come back home. That doesn't make any sense and it is only insane human can do that.
Gambling is always to find extra money and if you are winning in the process you can have some excitement while playing.

You have taken the right steps when you feel tired and bored, you vent it by gambling and what's more, you bet using only a small amount of money from your salary and you can still play at any time because you don't use gambling as a money maker but use it as a means of entertainment only.
And you also have a very good awareness and understanding that you don't just hope for luck, but you also think that there will definitely be defeats and you are ready to accept it all.

If they are busy enough with their job and they have a lot of over time then provably that they can get away with addiction since they became so very busy with their job and might they can't pay any attention unto this activities since they might be more focus on their jobs rather than spending some time on gambling site and be more stress then also so tired. But if they are working a 9 to 5 job set up then maybe there's still a lot of time for them to gamble but its up to the person if what is his main intention on why they gamble since if they play because they want to earn a lot of profit then maybe they are the one who might be in huge risk to became addicted. But if they are their for short time fun and just want to spend their time to get entertain I guess this people will be fine also away from negative thoughts that we imagine that might happen to them.

When you gamble for fun, you WI always want to do it at your leisure time, so that you can enjoy the fun to the fullest. If you go and gamble during your working hour, you need a gamble expert to check on you, because it is a sign that you are gambling for money and might be addicted.

The amount that we put into gamble matters a lot, because that is what our emotions depend on. Gambling with big amount will end up getting you emotional, and might lead to chasing of your loss. As gamblers that want to continue with our gambling activities, only use the amount of money that you can let go, when you lose your bet, and enjoy the fun.

We gamble for what actually? I see them as form of making extra changes for our pockets. Gambling should never be considered as one of the enormous streams of making earnings, instead it should be regarded as recreational activity we get ourselves engaged for fun. Gambling comes with surprising results and we shouldn't be surprised, there's no how we will be having streak winnings, we're not the ones that controls the system and it's volatility will definitely rule out our plans.

The majority gamble with the aim of making more money. The majority had thought that this would make them rich when getting lucky. Unfortunately, that kind of thinking caused them to lose more rather than multiply their money.

Thinking of gambling as another stream of earning money is a scary thing. Indeed, we never know what will be the results of every bet we make that is we we never assume for winning or even losing. And that is the point of thinking that gambling is just for fun and entertainment, nothing else. And this is the fact that we need to understand before gambling and train our minds not to chase winnings instead of enjoying the moment.

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.

Gambling should be for fun only I agree, doing it for fun will  help you protect your mental health from depression and negative thoughts
But if you try to make it  a way out of the matrix you will be utterly disappointed. A lot of people have made millions just by staking a little penny and some have lost millions without making profit at the end of the day. What does this tell you? Most people might be lucky for a while with a pattern that they use and they believe it's a strategy that works every time, this only makes you addicted, greedy and obsessed. After making profits from these strategies you believe in you will start staking huge amounts of money and this might be the beginning of failure in this regard...gamble responsibly and occasionally, don't make it a source of income

Whoever is busy with work will not have time to gamble because he will be stressed out all the time and he might not even think of gambling because he will prefer to rest after a tidious day at work. I'm using myself as an example, there was this job that I got sometime ago which made me not to have time for myself as the job eats up all my time. I only gamble on Sundays because I don't go to work and I do that because of the weekend matches since I love watching football.

It is gamblers that don't have what they are doing and are always free that will want to gamble often and that is when they will have the mindset to use gambling as a source of income. After sometimes, they will become addicts to gambling.

This is a mistake that is often made by newbies, they start out gambling for fun, but then after they have a good session in which they earn a good amount of money, they begin to think about how great it would be if they could actually make this their profession, as they could obtain a lot of money by playing a few simple games, but we know that anyone that thinks like that is taking a massive risk, as not only they could lose a lot of money down the line, but they could also waste years of their lives pursuing a goal that is impossible to reach.

People are different when it comes to relieving their stress on which there are ones who would really be that trying out to ease out that stress via gambling and other will really be doing things on which they do love or getting used to or something that we can consider it as a hobby. There are ones who are really that making gambling as their main consideration on spending up their time towards gambling.
Yes, it cant be denied that gambling could give out that kind of opportunity to enjoy at the same time you will really be able to make money but bare in mind that on the moment that you will really be able to
feel up the opposite when you do deal with it up too much.Moderation would really be the key or simply talking about control on which this would really be that significant specially on dealing up with
something which is really that risky if you would be tending to have that lose control.

Never ever make yourself make gambling as a main source of income or money making machine or else you would really be finding yourself in a disaster. Never ever make yourself being that too delusional
because on the moment or time that you do find yourself dealing up with gambling on such approach then you are basically putting up yourself on such potential problem.
So better be wary about into your actions.

Gambling should never be played for fun rather there is a high risk of addiction. Especially many times we can see that newbies are more likely to bet and enjoy the situation when they gamble for fun. A new gambler is very happy if he wins in the gambling game due to which the person becomes more attracted towards him and gradually he gets addicted to gambling. When gamblers choose gambling as their main means of making money they play responsibly but a new gambler is never responsible. A new gambler usually gets to bet and enjoys it which makes him plan to bet more and more, however I would say gambling should never be fun because of the danger of addiction here.

I agree with you and believe that gambling really should not be considered as entertainment because of the high risk of addiction. Especially newcomers often have a false sense of control and euphoria from their first winnings, which makes them more vulnerable to developing gambling addiction. Responsible gambling requires clear limits on time and money. However, newcomers usually find it difficult to adhere to these rules, which makes them particularly vulnerable to gambling addiction.

It is easily predictable that gambling can be accepted as fun by how many gamblers choose gambling for winning. Most gamblers think that if you think of gambling as a source of income, life will be changed, but they don't think that if you give extra time to gambling, life will become miserable instead of life change.
When most inexperienced gamblers are betting on gambling early, they become so greedy when they get profit in the bet that the next gambling is taken as one of the main sources of income. I never support these new gamblers who accept gamblers as sources of income. All these gamblers benefited early but later suffered huge losses.

The whole point is that people need to constantly develop, think about their future, and not hope that some kind of roulette will feed them for the rest of their lives. This simply doesn't happen. We need to be self-sufficient and have skills that other people don’t have, we need to invest in my self-development.
When I watch videos about gambling addicts who believed that the casino would become their main source of income, it makes me laugh. This is so naive that it reminds me of a fairy tale where the main character thought he had found the Cornucopia.
But there are no miracles in life.

To be honest the title said it all  Gambling for fun and not a way of making money I do believe there is a person who literally do gamble because he is bored or something that doesn't really care about money and he do gambling just for pure entertainment to fill his activity. I mean most of the people who do gamble to trying their luck and nothing wrong with it.

I saw yesterday that has similar thread and ask is there a possibility making money from gambling and my answer would be still the same, the answer is yes if you a casino owner or you are super lucky guy on earth and have winning rate of 80% all the time and if so you can making money from it haha

There will always be both of these sides. Someone who will gamble just literally for the sake of having fun and won't mind to bear with the losses.

And there goes someone who's trying out to have fun but at the same time trying to make some money. I guess most of us are in the latter.

As we gamble, win or lose, we're trying to make some for ourselves. But if the worse part comes, we won't be bothered losing it as we can accept it easily that we've lost.
