Gambling kills the fun in these two cases

[alani123]

For real betting all of your money in any form of gambling is insane to consider. It can have life ruining impacts and I don't know how people could end up to this point anyway. Really there's a bad end to addiction and it's sad to realize that many more people are falling into such traps. Gambling is a centuries old past-time but now where we live in an advanced society it's come to affect people in ways we hadn't thought before.

Well to think about it this way though, the problem is deeper than human nature and how humans think as well. It's something that can actually change. If our society wasn't based around money so much then people wouldn't value gambling for a form of profit but rather as just a form to pass time.

How long can they follow this kind of "strategy"? more than anything... how old are they?
I mean... if you are student thats ok... but if you have a family to feed ...
if you combine these two factors directly linked to "time" you realize that it is practically impossible in the long term, unless they are people who want to "justify" their money

Well yes, if you have the pressure to make money you won't get the pleasure you want the first place gambling. Unless you are a professional who have rigid rules to follow and can make money consistently, then this won't work for you. The pressure itself will only lead to unnecessary temptation like impulsiveness, overleveraging, over risking, over gambling, which is essential not a good position to be with. You cannot set aside other responsibilities in your life like being a father and a provider, especially if you want to make gambling as the main source of your income.

I think the idea and the idea of making gambling as a place or a means to make money is very clear that along the way you will only experience a lot of pressure, because there are certain concerns related to what you bring as capital with the aim of being multiplied while on the other hand gambling is not only about the chances of winning but the possibility of losing is also a sure thing that will happen, and this idea will even make you not feel the pleasure because in every session you will only think and focus on winning along with feeling the tension due to the worry of the possibility of losing.

The idea of gambling for income always tends to lead to overreaction, that's for sure, because of the hope and goal of making money so you are likely to gamble in an aggressive way such as putting a large budget because you want to get a big win, but isn't gambling always about uncertainty about the outcome? Obviously, and this is why it makes no sense and is not recommended to put the goal of earning on gambling, because it will happen exactly the opposite where you will lose a large amount of money because you are too excessive in treating gambling.

Hi everyone,

One of the common mistakes in the world of gambling now is that some people run to make quick money and are greedy by betting all their money and trying to make gambling their primary source of income. You find them spending hours in casinos and sites, regardless of their losses, trying to make up for it, and this is what often leads to more Of the losses that may lead them to bankruptcy, and there are also those who make betting the only means of entertainment and spending their  free time, even though they do not care about the size of their losses, they ignore the consequences, as the enthusiasm they find while playing will decrease with the passage of time and the matter will become tasteless..

Do not make gambling your only source of income or your only means of entertainment, as this will eliminate the first goal of gambling, which is pleasure.

the beginning of someone who is trying to uplift itself to fall to scratches is when you have noticed gambling and also think that gambling will be the best option that to survive, actually when you noticed a gambling newly you will think that gambling will give you whatever you want on earth, but in norms gambling will not give you what you wanted, a gambling is something we engage ourselves into with better understanding and strategies so we will not use all our income to gamble, some people does not have weekly and monthly strategies or statistics to gamble it will really affect you.

Gambling can be considered as a part of entertainment so it cant be considered as a source of income and if anyone considers it a source of income then the person is addicted to gambling and in the long run the person (gambler) will suffer a lot and it can't ensure profit but it can ensure about more and more loses.

[danherbias07]

Hmm, maybe. This is situational in my opinion.
There are people who cannot find pleasure in other things but only through gambling so they do not really have an option especially if they are not into other hobbies or games. i.e. Board games, MMORPG, or recreational games.
Also, there might be people who like the risk factor included in gambling. They love the added tension, the excitement, and the feeling of emotional swings so they cannot just get away with it. In other cases, you might be right, do not focus too much on making money out of gambling because that erases the enjoyment part of it as we can be stressed through risking too much money. It's better if we are betting like there's always a tomorrow.

First, having gambling as a source of income is a very bad thing for any gambler to do. Second, following your gambling habit with greed is also another bad gambling habit that could lead to a great loss.
 
If you, as a gambler, can have a good source of income and also keep your greed aside and just focus on the fun and the little wins that can come out of it, you can enjoy your gambling activity with less to worry about in terms of getting addicted.

Do not make gambling your only source of income or your only means of entertainment, as this will eliminate the first goal of gambling, which is pleasure.

My take on this is to not make gambling your source of income at all. Gambling is too risky to be made a source of income. People that are making it a source of income are failing as they lose more than win.

Just wondering how someone can make gambling a source of income because how can they cope with too many losses when winning is not guaranteed all the time. It will even be a stupid idea for anyone to take gambling as a source of income I mean suh a person can never grow at all because instead of making progress in life, they will gradually become addicted and desperate to win so it is never a good idea to make gambling a source of income.

[Queentoshi]

Do not make gambling your only source of income

There are gamblers who do not have a primary source of income, the just scratch and gather whatever they can put together then put it into gambling as a way to multiply it. To these people gambling is a source of income, and there is no way to convince them out of this idea.

your only means of entertainment, as this will eliminate the first goal of gambling, which is pleasure.

If gambling is a source of entertainment, it will certainly lead to pleasure. so? you did not make a good point there.

I guess only jobless and less fortunate people are seeing gambling as a source of income, as the others are still seeing gambling as a means to make fun and at the same time hoping to make such decent winning amount. However, even if you are seeing it as a source of entertainment, eventually it will still lead into addiction later on. This is already proven by everyone, except for those who only gamble when they have spare money to bet.

A really wrong and crazy way to go about your gambling habit because if you set aside those responsibility and stay focus on the pleasure that comes or thought of actually making gambling a source of income then I guess you are in for some hard and desperate times in your life because the act will totally frustrate you and put you in a condition that's backward with no growth because bo one can make gambling a source of income.

This sounds awkward because you are directly saying that a gambler can actually make gambling a source of income, but it should not be the only source of income they would have.Like the first comment already said, never even consider gambling as your source of income. Gambling should be a source of fun and not something that anyone should die at, like some people who would continue gambling for several hours (like 4-6 hours). It's never a bad idea to have fun and do something that is of interest to us, but having to do it in an excessive manner without discipline is what I don't find funny. 

Some people lose their minds while gambling, and before they realize it, they can just get addicted and experience severe losses that they may end up regretting. Everything should be done in moderation, because when we overdo things, there are usually some consequences.

From the looks of it, both of this cases are product of being an IRRESPONSIBLE gambler, not that "gambling kills the fun"
 
The first one is gambling is not a source of income, the house always win in the long run, don't gamble money you can't afford to lose. the second is it's not wrong to make gambling as a form of entertainment but if you are going to do it you still need to have a rule that protects you from mindlessly betting money you cannot afford to lose so you can have you entertainment.

Do not make gambling your only source of income or your only means of entertainment, as this will eliminate the first goal of gambling, which is pleasure.

pleasure? Would you mind elaborating?

We have responsibilities, day and morning, we should take cover for the huge changes coming our way, most of us will embraced them while others will continue to lose because they're yet to find the legitimate source and keep doubting the strategies to implement. We have source of income, human being will not changed because it's nature and we should always be looking for more money, it's never enough. Gambling serves as fun for the ones milking the system steadily, perhapes it's a good one for starters.

Much better if you don't rely on it as a source of income. You win probably some as you gamble but that doesn't mean it can be your source.

I do know people that have been gambling all of their lives and made gambling as their major source of income. But, it is them and can't be applied to me as I know that it won't really work at all.

You gamble, win some, have fun and that's it. Leave everything for that day in the casino whether they're good experiences, wins or losses. That's how we should approach gambling.

[bluebit25]

Making money through gambling cannot be a reliable source. The desire to get lucky and change your destiny is somewhat delusional. Often, out-of-control gamblers engage in this behavior because they find ecstatic joy or a potential score. However, the downsides of losing outweigh the upsides of temporary gains, and there is much uncertainty about the outcomes that can come from betting.

Instead of depending on luck, investing or trading is a more proactive path that requires research, skill, and patience. While there are still risks, these forms offer greater control and the potential for long-term success.

Absolutely, you've hit on a crucial point. The thrill of gambling often draws people in with the allure of quick wins and big bucks. But turning it into a full-time job or the only form of entertainment can quickly strip away the joy and lead to stress or worse.
It's all about balance, enjoying the games without letting them take over.
Keep it as one of many hobbies or occasional treats, and you'll likely find it remains a source of fun and excitement, without the bitter aftertaste.

This. I’ve said it a million times. Gambling is a form of entertainment, not income. You wouldn’t go into a strip club thinking you’re going to walk out with more money than you walked in with would you? What about a sporting event or a movie? Sure, you can win money gambling, but that is to increase the fun. It should be about paying to have fun playing games.

I think overconfidence of winning is also what makes people to think they can take gambling as a source of income. Someone that is not sure about winning gambling will never try to risk money in gambling all the time. People that takes gambling or sees it as a source of income are just making a terrible mistake because gambling is always risky and unpredictable which you can never tell of having a win.

And this gamblers thinks the more they play gambling is the more they can win more money which is not true. Gambling being unpredictable should be the main reason why people must not depend in it as a source of income.

When a gambler diverts gambling to a different purpose, he will suffer rather than gain from gambling. There are some gamblers who think too much about gambling because they worry about how to quickly change their position or financial situation. Accepting gambling as fun should be one of our main goals but when a gambler sees it as a source of income as opposed to having fun, the negative aspects of gambling affect him.

Although initially gamblers do not want to admit that they are gambling for money, some of their aggressive behavior reveals this very easily. When a gambler becomes more motivated to win, the deviation from normal gambling behavior becomes almost riskier. Gambling works as fun as long as there is self-control and gambling can be conducted without any greed. When a gambler spends his surplus income on gambling, he can no longer consider gambling as fun. Real enjoyment of gambling is possible only if you can easily accept winning or losing.

[Cryptomultiplier]

Gambling with more seriousness is very deadly indeed and what is supposed to be fun can suddenly turn bloody or create enmity between friends who don't know when it is already too much fun for one night.
The fun in gambling is the thrill of winning bigger than what we stake and when greed sets in such an environment would become a regular hangout just like an office because of the potential of winning again.

As much as I agree with you, gamblers would always fall for one of the two mistakes mentioned because they can quickly forget this advice while playing and only realize the same thing once it's over.

pleasure? Would you mind elaborating?

I assume he's referring to the feeling of winning because once you start winning most of your bets within a short period or have a winning session it always gives you the adrenaline rush. That kind of feeling might encourage you to return for more if you don't have any hobbies aside from gambling.
