What are the main points of gambling?

[Mrbluntzy]

The essence of gambling is to make money,and to make more money.To make more money in the sense that,we all know that human being are insatiable,and when we have tried to make money,we are never always contented with the one we have,there is this urge that usually comes in us to make more money,and that is where the greed comes in.
This who have made money already,that is the rich,they still find time to gamble so as to make more money, because they have that fear of being broke.No one wants to be poor,I mean,no one likes poverty,that is why people try their possible best to be rich,and one of the way one tried to be rich is through gambling.

It is true that a lot of gamblers in the industry are gambling for the aim of making money and doubling their finances but if we are being honest here, gambling is not the proper place to seek for income. Any gambler that sees gambling as a best opportunity to make money may end up to lose and become broke because the opportunity  of winning in gambling is not consistent. Losses incurred by gamblers is greater that winning archived.

It is true that a lot of gamblers in the industry are gambling for the aim of making money and doubling their finances but if we are being honest here, gambling is not the proper place to seek for income.

While some others are saying that it is truly for fun. Well, both are correct and depending on the aim of the gambler. But to be honest, most of us are for the money and having fun is just secondary.

Any gambler that sees gambling as a best opportunity to make money may end up to lose and become broke because the opportunity  of winning in gambling is not consistent. Losses incurred by gamblers is greater that winning archived.

A gambler knows that.

But even so, many of us are trying to prove ourselves that we can make money with gambling. I've made some but also lost some.

Those that are full time on it, there's no question about their legitimacy that they make money out of it.

The main point of gambling is, People should gamble for entertainment, it'll make a gambler happy while their favorite team win as well as a gambler also earn some money due to he bet on his favorite team. If anyone gamble for making money, then he should stopped gambling cause gambling is risky and uncertain. There's no surety. OP you mentioned 3 elements to be present but i found consideration and risk are major factor for gambling. A gamble should know how to manage or fix his gambling budget and how to manage the risk. Otherwise they'll be in problem although losses are also common thing in gambling and a gambler should admit it before place bets or start gambling

Not everyone can think of gambling as a place where they look for entertainment and maybe there are some people who can think that of course they will not spend a lot of their money on gambling and they can know when is the right time to gamble and also usually they don't spend too much of their money for gambling of course this would be better, when someone gambles to get money from the gambling they play of course this is not very good because they will be lazy to do work which makes them have financial problems and when they have money of course the first thing all they will do is to gamble.
By limiting the funds that we will use for gambling, of course this will never make us spend a lot of time gambling and this can prevent us from becoming addicted to gambling and also from large losses in gambling.

[DubemIfedigbo001]

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?

As a gambler who doesn't intend being controlled by emotions and want to have real fun, you should behave as though the third element (prize). Does not exist. Every real gambler who has proper control over the other two has little or nothing to worry about in his gambling life.

First control the amount of money dedicated to gambling by having a gambling budget and staking what you can afford to loose and by such doing you reduce the risks of a terrible loss. Prizes can come anytime. The main aim is to have real fun in gambling.

If people can gamble for entertainment, they should not chase the wins from gambling. They can only have fun from gambling without thinks about the wins because that will helps them prevents the will to continue playing gambling. They don't have to try to make money from gambling as that will not easy and will gives them more risks to lose their money. A gambler should know how much money he use to playing gambling and will use limitation to playing gambling. He knows that he must prevents the lose not to becomes bigger by always use moderation and limitation his gambling activity. He must know how to manage the risks so he will not lose much money and can have fun from playing gambling.

Gambling is an extremely complex activity and yet risky. But there are a lot of main points that we can do to address the issue which for me is really a "must do".
For example, proper education - increasing awareness about the probabilities, risks, or odds.
Another is setting limits - where this will help you to prevent excessive losses.

[Litzki1990]

Since we are different people, it is natural that our gambling strategies will be different. Some people always say that they gamble just for fun, there are some people who consider gambling as an alternative way of earning money and there are some gamblers who consider gambling as their profession. I think to those who say gambling is just entertainment then why do they regret these things when they lose gambling. The main thing is that when it comes to gambling, everyone has a specific objective which is to win by gambling. We never like to lose we always want results to go our way. But those who are real gamblers take it as a matter of course that they lose in gambling because if one wins in gambling then he must lose.

Not knowing how to manage risk will make a gambler to not see the profits that he is getting because he is going to throw away all his profits from gambling it again. Since he doesn't not know how to manage risk, he would not know what amount to use in gambling and the amount to keep. Many gamblers behave like this and it makes them to not have good risk management skills. The main point of gambling is for people to have fun and friendly competitions between eachother before greed got introduced into gambling then people now want to make money from gambling between eachother and it has grown to the point that it is now being done globally through online casino and the purpose of gambling is now shifted to being for making money since most gamble only for this reason.

The only thing they complain about is when they experience defeat, whereas they will remain silent with joy when they experience victory. That's a gambler's habit that is no longer strange.
They understand what you get in gambling. It's impossible for them not to know, sometimes they force themselves to continue winning.

Every gambler has a different character. To combine these differences in character we rarely find or very few gamblers who have good character who view gambling as fun.

Some people do the opposite, they get so excited when they win something in gambling that they let everyone know about it out of excitement, but then they regret doing that when those they told about their win start asking for money or treats from them, lol.

Many people start gambling for fun, and then they have their minds diverted from fun to profit when they see they can earn profit from gambling as well, and we know how greed works for humans, it makes them do things that they don't want to or shouldn't do.

Although gambling is entertainment, most of the users go here to win money.  Everyone is motivated to win. Because winning in gambling gives many times higher returns very quickly which is not available anywhere else. So gambling has become a very popular thing for everyone. Especially in the youth. It's not a skill it's just a test of luck. Those who have good luck win big and those who have bad luck see those big wins and continue to gamble hoping to win big and ruin themselves financially. for some gambling is just a place of entertainment and for others gambling is a place to get rich fast

Some people do because they don't have a clear purpose for why they gamble. If it is only for entertainment,
they must certainly have a limit that they must not violate or a minimum of funds that can be used for gambling as entertainment.

Those who are greedy do not have all these limits, they just play and are entertained at first,
but when they win the first game of course they are happy and continue to add money to the game, then in the end they lose and keep losing.

This will disturb their mentality and greed begins to appear for the mission of revenge for the defeat once gotten.
And at this point gambling is no longer good and tends to result in endless addiction if not stopped.
So gamble wisely and must have rules and limits that must not be violated.

Indeed, it is a way how we do not lose more money in the casino, this can affect a person to do more structured from gambling, but it will be difficult if it can not be in self-control, it needs bitter experience to realize that the point can be applied one by one in gambling, but sometimes compulsiveness can affect a person to be worse even though it already knows it all.

A person interprets gambling differently depending on how he has an understanding and experience in gambling, if not having fun then he is looking for money in gambling, that point will change as knowledge increases.

So, the stories told by such gamblers should not be taken too seriously because it has become their habit. If you are also an active gambler, then you have experienced this without realizing it.
I hope you don't become a gambler with a character who prefers to complain even though you basically know the reasons for gambling before the game is played. Set a limit on the money you will play and know when to take a break.

If it brings money ones in a while then it can motivate gamblers to gamble, but the main purpose why gamble was introduced in the world was for entertainment but we gamble today to make some profits and the profits is what motivates people to gamble, just few gamble for the entertainment purpose. Gamblers with luck wins, without luck a gambler can not win, so gamblers that doesn't have the luck to win chase their loses.

[teamsherry]

The main point of gambling is having fun. If you are gambling for money, stop gambling because gambling will take from you than you will win from gambling.

As part of your point, I see only one to be valid which is consideration (an amount wagered). I call it gambling budget. 1 to 5% of weekly income. 1% of weekly income is the best.

I hardly belive that anyone can really gamble for fun especially if you are an average person, gambling for fun is just another way for saying gambling without taking it too seriously, which I can accept, but anyway your right gambling as a means to make money is ridiculous and very unrealistic, cause the odds are against you, firstly the casinos won't let you win too much cause if you do they are losing and they have no way to pay their worker, so it's definitely one sided, they win you lose.

The main reason when many of us are gambling is to make more money. There are people that already have the money and the means to take good care of themselves but because human needs are not satisfiable, we tend to make more money so we can live comfortably without any problem of money. There are people that have the money but still want to be earning more which is the reason why even the rich are gambling which is not that they don't have the money to take care of their needs. Once we understand what to do to make money we need to make sure we continue doing them even though it's gambling especially when we used to get lucky of winning frequently.

For me it is just the risk and reward beside the entertainment when someone gambles, even that I saw many YouTubers and popular personalities are gambling for fun without looking at the risk-reward they have fun getting adrenaline rush and total focus.
I will mention one the main point ps here which is
Main points of gambling is playing few minutes of slots or Live casino, betting on your favorite team while watching and observing your bet. Gambling is for entertaining only, as long as it is done responsibly, the bad mistake some people does is believing that one day they going to get good winnings on casino while this is totally wrong, the casino itself is made to make profits from gamblers not the opposite.

Gambling is supposed to be for fun, while a game is going on a bet can be placed on the team one thinks can win the game with money that one can afford to lose than only playing just to make money by all means. When people gamble just because they want to make money and if they lose they would want to still play again to recover their money and this time it is possible for the game to still end up as lose again. Their have never been a time people succeed to make steady income from playing gambling.  Money gotten from playing bet happens as a result of luck, this is why people need to take gambling as for fun to be entertained and nothing much .

Gambling is more enjoyable when it is considered to be a game for fun, you don't have to be worried when you lose because one is not trying to win by all means . When it is considered to be fun it is easy to move one even if their is a lose.
