What are the main points of gambling?

[Zigabel]

Gambling thus requires three elements to be present: consideration
 (an amount wagered), risk (chance), and a prize.

I noticed that people now don't actually know their main points of them gambling, some people gamble to earn daily and some people just gamble cause they saw their friends won in gambling. That's how they develop their gambling lifestyle and from their they get addicted to it. I've over heard people complaining about them losses, for me I think they don't know the main points of gambling. What do you think about this people losses much? Does it mean they don't know the main points of gambling?

The main point of gambling is actually relative a d dependent on what you define your gambling with or whatever it is you aim to achieve gambling, just gambling because others are gambling or for a trivial reason could also be a reason too but making sure you are not wasting money is very much important but then gambling usually is intended for fun and leisure but sadly some persons have actually turned it into something else and at some point it has become detrimental to them and that's why they most likely get to loose their funds to gambling because they actually get to gamble with the wrong intent.

Gambling main point is relative as it's peculiar to each person's and individuals and that's why except for entertainment and leisure there's no other main point I think gambling actually got so it's basically relative and preferenced to individuals.

We all complain at some point; it's not that because you're complaining, you don't know about the main point of gambling; gambling is taking a risk in the hope of gaining more; that's what gambling means to me. It's different when we talk about responsible gambling.

Responsible gambling is treating gambling for entertainment and using money that you can afford to lose; you don't expect all gamblers to act as responsible gamblers they eventually evolve into one if they see that the only way to continue to gamble without losing a lot.

I don’t know if the amount one has lost to gambling can tell us if they know the main point of gambling is or not. But for me I feel anyone who after gambling starts complaining about the amount they have lost during that session, don’t know the main point of gambling because they just gambled with an amount that they can’t afford to lose but if they are to lose it and not feel a thing then it would be okay.

[TheUltraElite]

Going with the OP's perspective, most people who begin gambling have the prize on their mindset but they forget the risk or chance and the amount wagered.

Because the risk needs to be understood properly before initiation of the game, most youngsters who start out dont spend time on that because it is all math stuff and just follow the impulse. With that they are not only harming their income but also setting up a harmful life ahead if they dont realize it early.

Still the main reason to gamble should be for having fun and not for making money.

Main points.of gambling and reasons for gambling are different..i think that people do not care about the main points of gambling because to them it is inconsequential. What matters is the reason for gambling which a lot of people do not know. Than that is why we have a lot of people spending money that they cannot afford to lose on gambling. They also go as far as loaning money to gamble and do a whole lot of other stupid s*** just for gambling because they do not know their why for gambling. This leads to an increasing number of gambling addict. People blame casinos and sports betting sites for this reason but it is obvious that a lot of people do not know why they are gambling or should be gambling.

I agree with you that the most important point that needs to be understood is the reason why gambling, it is the main thing in gambling before we talk about risk, money, prizes and others, we need a reason to gamble.

And if you look at it here everyone has their own interests why they visit the casino or gamble, and that's where we will talk about what the OP said, I often see people who are described in your case, they are generally fomo of other people's victories from the casino that make them interested in gambling without exploring why they gamble and why should be in gambling to do that activity, a person will lose his mind and do not know himself when he does not understand why they do it.

Whether we play gambling just for fun or not the main reason is just to win to make some money, if gambling is not all about to make money I don't think people will just play and not expecting anything in return.  The reason for playing is to win to make money but some people misunderstand gambling.  Even if playing is all about to win money it doesn't mean we need to play too much to make money by all means. Their should be understanding to know that gambling is risky and chasing the wins by all means can lead one into serious problems.  Let it just be for fun and to play with amount that you can afford to lose.

[Miles2006]

Considering all this is actually necessary at the moment , the valid point I can relate when gambling; the amount used and how comfortable a gambler feel gambling with such amount. Gambling for gain is normal but, not so excess as most people view that’s why people choose gambling for fun because you don’t get lucky always and you have to accept the end result, like preparing your mind ahead so you don’t get angry wanting more for a lucky win. I read a thread about gamblers gambling more when angry, all this might stand as a challenge and it’s not advisable staking your money over and over again just for a win, after considering all this it’s better a gambler stake what they can afford to lose.

So if I may ask, what's the difference between "Amount wagered" and "Prize", because looking at these two factors, I think they are the same, and as such, what I think are the three elements for gambling to take place are first, an "individual", a "Platform" and an "Amount" (i.e prize to be wagered). While anything apart from that are secondary factors, such as odds, kind of game and e.t.c

I noticed that people now don't actually know their main points of them gambling

There have always been two main points why people gamble, one, for money and secondly for fun, anything apart from that are secondary reasons. Because, if a person saw that his friends gambled and won, and next time decided to follow gamble, it still also means he went there for the money, and nothing else.

[robelneo]

Gambling is all about putting a bet, taking a chance, and hoping to win, it depends on who's looking to define what gambling is, for those who only think of money, the point of gambling is just taking a chance, for casinos, its entertainment they want you to look their platforms as a platform of entertainment and for humanitarian the point of gambling is to gamble responsibly.
Each one of us has our own definition and points about gambling, but in its real meaning, it's all about taking a chance.

The main point of gambling could differ from different people but what everyone knows and foresee in the point of gambling is that it is a game meant to make you profitable. Any other points asides this cannot be a valid point why some people gamble. Those that are always complaining about their losses is because they’ve made up their mind to only come into gambling to win and if theirs no win, they should be no point of them continuing gambling. Let everyone see gambling as what they feel it is and not to be blamed on what they settle on about gambling.

There are a lot of reasons why people gamble; some of us have the same reason or not. Some gamble just to have fun; they just want entertainment. Gambling offers excitement, thrills, and interaction with other people. Whether it's playing cards at home or visiting a casino, entertainment is a big factor in why people gamble. Some hopes to win money, it is a strong motivator why people gamble, even though the odds are against the gamblers, the chance to gain money is really attractive. Also, just like what I've said, when we are gambling, we are socializing with others. This can be another reason why people gamble; it provides an opportunity to socialize and connect with others.
 
Even though we have our own reasons why we are gambling, as long as we practice responsible gambling, like setting limits on time and money spent, then gambling can still be a safe and enjoyable pastime.

Not all of them have the same kind of understanding we all have about gambling, some are taking it for making money while some are just busy going after the way other people behave in gambling as same and being applicable in their own case, such could be found with reckless gambling and others who gambles irresponsibly, but for someone who truly understands what is required of him being a gambling, he will do things moderately while gambling and will not loose focus for any reason.

I don’t even understand what are you trying to express on the points that you mention. People will still loses even if they understand the principle of gambling or not as long as they are still gambling. What important is they use it for entertainment purposes without using an important money dedicated to other matters.

House edge will always makes gambler lose plus poor bankroll management equals significant losses. However, all this losses will never be a big deal if all gamblers is a responsible gambler which is using only an amount that they can afford to lose.

LOL, I also don't understand the point here, but I agree no matter how much they know or do in gambling the chance to lose is still there.
And for those who lose too much on gambling, they are the ones who couldn't control their self, they don't know when to quit or stop.
We all have different reason why we gamble and I think most of us doesn't really care much about the point of gambling, as long as we are getting what we came for,(entertainment, fun, socializing, or profit) I think this are the main reason why we gamble.

Main point as in what ? The motive ?

Most people gamble either to earn money or to have fun. There won't be any other motive apart from this I think.
I don't think motive has to do anything with the addiction because addiction happens only when they over gamble regularly.

[Blitzboy]

Gamble like life - know what you're doing. Many individuals perceive a big win and leap in blindly, which is losing. Gamblers who study the game are the best. Building a firm involves risks, rewards, and probabilities. A blinded entry wont work. Losers face more than just underestimated odds. About self-awareness. Best players and businesses recognize their boundaries. Learn your mental and financial limits and set goals. Its about knowing oneself. Avoiding addiction requires that.

Gambling must be smarter than luck. Calculation, control, and understanding when to step away are key. The real satisfaction comes from playing the long game wisely, not chasing highs. Building that mindset helps players and improves gambling for everyone.

Gambling should be treated as entertainment. As a way to have an interesting and fun time, to get intense emotions for someone. I think that’s where everyone starts, but then many stop enjoying gambling. People then begin to think that they can start earning money from this on a regular basis, and many of them subsequently begin to experience problems with gambling and, accordingly, money. Problems come when the main rule is not followed - use only the money that you can afford to lose forever. For example, a person can go have a beer with friends and play billiards, or use the same money to place a bet instead of meeting with friends. When a person starts spending money that is important to his life, problems come.
The answer to your question is short - gambling is for entertainment, not for making money.

The OP just gave his own opinion of why he thinks people gamble, well every individual have their own reason for gambling, some for fun, some for entertainment, some for the price there are some who see it as an opportunity to make a fortune but in whatever way any individual see it as, we should agree  with the fact that winning is not guarantee and no matter you point of view you're taking a risk to stand a chance of earning a price.

 Yeah too much of gambling leads to addiction no matter you point of view, whether for entertainment or whatsoever once you always spend time gambling your chances of becoming an addicted gambler becomes higher that's why on no account should any individual gamble on a regular even the owners of the Casino's and betting sites do advice individuals to gamble responsibly.

[vs2014]

Gambling is now part of my addiction at work and when i don't have money i borrow money from my friends and bet. But i have seen that almost most people gamble to make money so it should not be considered as a pursuit. When you get too addicted to something the amount of damage won't shock you. There are many people who lose bets again and again because they want to win. So those who are establishing themselves in gambling always have a risk taking attitude.

Correct. Those who come to gamble have these two motives and I don't think there is anything else. Addiction to anything does not happen in a day or two and gambling addiction takes time, when a gambler gambles excessively and becomes so addicted to it that he becomes addicted to gambling. A relative of mine is losing gambling and now he is addicted to gambling to get back the lost money, but he is still losing. So those who prioritize earning more in gambling, are the ones who become addicted to gambling at some point.

You have also missed one element to  add that is the enjoyment of the gambling.
And I want to also say that you might be wrong because you are judging all the people who played gambling by  those people whom you see. And I think it's totally illogical. The main goal i.e. point of gambling is entertainment and those peoples who have others goals and reasons behind playing gambling for those all will face difficulties in their gambling and also in real life. So yes the peoples habhits you mentioned in your post those have the bad habhit and that is why they will also loss more than one general gamblers like who set a strategy to playing gambling like limiting the loss and profits amount.
