How do you understand entertainment?

[retreat]

I also think so, where entertainment is when you gamble just for fun and don't focus too much on getting rich from your gambling activities. Because in my personal opinion, when a gambler only focuses on getting rich from their gambling and forgets the fact that their chances of getting rich from it are not that high, then in the end they will be disappointed because they lose a lot just to get rich. So instead of having to stress and think too much about getting rich from gambling, I prefer to gamble for entertainment - but it's not that I don't want money from it, it's just that I'm not that focused on pursuing wealth from it.

In the topic of gambling, I often see the word "entertainment". Nevertheless, each user means some meaning by this. Many people believe that entertainment is the main driving force of any gambling. And many even believe that entertainment is a much more physiological need than, for example, a desire to get rich. If you initially set yourself the goal only to have fun, and limit the amount that you are ready to take a chance, then you play for the sake of entertainment, and not because of the thirst for profit. You risk less. But if you ask you what entertainment is for you, then this question will be at a dead end. They do not know what entertainment is. Wikipedia writes that this is activity for pleasure.
 But I see in this a certain cognitive activity, only with poorly formulated goals. For example, you play in order to understand the laws of the game over time and learn to win more often.
 Or maybe entertainment for you is something else?

Gambling is one of the ways to escape from your main activity, when you play for little money and losing will not be a big disappointment for you. Of course, it will be possible to call this entertainment only if you win, because if you lose, it will definitely be considered a way to be distracted by something else for a while.

If a player plays for big money and tries to make money on gambling, then this will already be his job, and it cannot be entertainment. Therefore, it turns out that everyone would like to make gambling an entertainment for themselves, if not for the moments of loss, when entertainment can turn into grief.

Entertainment in my understanding is what eliminates the moment of loss, for example, going to the park for amusement rides, where there will be only positive emotions.

I agree about your understanding of what entertainment is. And it's always being told here that everyone should only gamble with the capacity that we have and never treat it as a souce of living. But we can't stop people from choosing what they think is right for them, as they gamble, it's not new that we're in it to have some fun but more of earning some profits.

Everyone has different decisions that we cannot stop in gambling, even though they only consider entertainment without considering the losses they have lost in the gambling session, they have actually lost control in gambling but they will find it difficult to be advised to gamble with the right allocation of funds. lower. However, all gamblers have their own choices and I do not stop advising them to anticipate the impact of addiction which can lead them to high losses without them realizing they have gambled with the wrong decision.

If they are fine in listening to our concerns to them, we shouldn't stop advising them and reminding to stop. But if you are that persistent kind of guy but you start to see them not appreciate your words and reminders, it won't make sense anymore to tell them that they should stop as soon as possible or something bad might happen to them. Because it's not always that we like to tell such words to these people when we know that they're no longer listening.

It's such a waste of saliva to keep on mouthing them about reminders that they need to be aware of, when they don't appreciate your lowkey help about advises. Anyway, you're not obliged to give advise on these gamblers but I know that our concern is there.

Yeah, no one can force anyone to gamble for fun or entertainment, everyone is entitled gamble based on what they believe of it but it's very necessary for us face the reality about gambling. Having another reason aside entertainment is unrealistic, gambling for profit per se is the most unrealistic reason for gambling because only few percentage of people make profits from it, the rest end up being disappointed and frustrated which in one or the other affect everyone in the society. It becomes necessary to continue cautioning people to gamble for fun and not profits.

Gambling for profit isn't an unreal reason. IMHO, the majority gambles for the profit and that can't be denied although many choose to say that they are there for the entertainment and not for the money. Regardless of the reason, you can start with the logic that who doesn't want to have a good ending when they gamble? I don't think that no one will ever say that because as a matter of fact, we gamble in hopes of winning some money and games.

Yes, it depends on their mindset, sometimes everyone who gambles with the aim of making money will usually never feel the pleasure of gambling, they will focus on their gambling and try seriously to recover their losses, we definitely see people like that because most gambling addicts come from them. who gamble to make money and only think about how to make money from gambling itself, when in fact gambling was created as a place to have fun for rich people. because rich people always have fun with their money.

But it's not that we are poor, we also have to focus on seeking luck in gambling, we should have a mindset like rich people, namely focusing on fun and entertainment, not money, so that we don't get addicted to gambling because we take gambling too seriously, sometimes people always ask questions. where is the fun, while their mindset has not been changed so they will never feel the pleasure, even though in fact gambling should only be for entertainment and any winnings should be considered a bonus.

It is only rich people can use gambling as entertainment because for them the result of losing is only entertainment. But many people gamble with the dream of becoming rich, but when they lose, they lose their money. Gambling is difficult to lose, so there is no entertainment. I was sitting in a shop eating and next to me a man was placing bets repeatedly in gambling. I see his wallet he has lost a lot of money yet he is betting but this was not enough entertainment for me. Because I know that it is difficult to earn that money if you lose by gambling.

Only rich folks use gambling as a form of entertainment… That’s simply not true. Average and low income earners also see and use gambling as a form of entertainment.
Agreed, having consistent winnings during gambling would definitely help and add to one’s excitement level and entertainment derived from the activity. I think if one has the sole interest of winning some money or making an income from the activity, that takes away most or all of the entertainment to be had.

Chasing one’s losses is never advised. There’ll definitely be no entertainment to be had and you’ll end up losing money as well.

enjoying the gambling that is done is the right way to make gambling as a means of entertainment, by considering gambling like that, there will be no big losses because usually the people who experience big losses are those who cannot enjoy the gambling that they do, moreover they think that gambling is a means that can make money for sure so that there are people who think they can get rich by gambling, of course this is not true, because thinking like that will only make them addicted to gambling and the deeper they fall into gambling, the less they can control themselves. and what you say is true, they will only be disappointed with the results that are certain to occur with the gambling they do.

It's true what you say is very hypocritical if we don't want money from gambling, it's just that people who gamble for fun or just for entertainment don't focus on chasing uncertain wins. I am sure that there are only a few people who gamble for entertainment only compared to gamblers who think that gambling is wrong, where there are more of them who chase wins and thus experience a lot of financial losses.

Entertainment is an activity that makes us feel happy, and can be medicine when we feel tired because we have worked all day and gambling is not the only entertainment but there are also some who use gambling as entertainment, there are several entertainments and it depends on those who want to do that entertainment. according to them, it is suitable for themselves and without any element of coercion, the most important thing is that we feel entertained without having to feel pressure, even though the aim of having fun is to forget our problems or tiredness because we are tired of working, gambling can be a fun activity for those who want to have fun without being thirsty for winning and winning is treated as a bonus.

For me, gambling is also entertainment for me and I will feel happy even if I don't get any profit because I use it as a medium to have fun without having to expect more through gambling because I know this game is full of risks, winning or losing I will enjoy it as entertainment but with Note: Don't spend a lot of money on gambling, the most important thing is to limit gambling and play responsibly and not burden our minds who want entertainment.

 Many wrote that the game brings pleasure even when you lose. But what exactly is the pleasure in losing? I can only assume that pleasure is a secondary thing in relation to gambling. I believe that entertainment is a special form of development. I understand that it sounds or looks strange, but it is. You play and know probabilistic laws. You will know the laws of winnings and losses. You begin to better understand the spontaneous nature of the game. You become better, smarter, more insight, etc. Of course, this brings pleasure.

[acroman08]

Many people believe that entertainment is the main driving force of any gambling.

many people might believe that but this is not the case. sure, while gambling is usually connected alongside entertainment, I'm pretty sure it is pretty clear to the majority of people may they be gamblers or not that entertainment isn't the driving force of gambling.

How do you understand entertainment?

to answer the title of your thread, entertainment is subjective. while there are standards of what people usually deem and consider entertainment, other people might find and consider entertainment in unconventional things or activities.

Many wrote that the game brings pleasure even when you lose. But what exactly is the pleasure in losing?

I feel like they tried to troll the thread or they used wrong words to describe the feeling. You cannot possibly feel pleasure from losing unless you're a masochist, or deeply depressed, so that you want to punish yourself by losing even more. Normal, sane people will not feel any pleasure from losing, but they'll feel it from winning and that can carry a bigger emotional load that makes them forget about previous losses as long as there are wins.

Exactly, I also think the same thing as you, according to logic and common sense losing money is a situation that is really difficult for everyone to accept, and we can see that people are willing to work up to 12 hours a day with a lot of sweat which is nothing but all they do to get money because we all need money to survive, meaning that it is clear that losing money is a situation that is not wanted by everyone.

On the other hand I would ask that if gambling did not have or did not provide a chance of winning to every gambler then would there still be people who gamble? I think not, it is very unlikely that people come voluntarily to exchange their money for the enjoyment of the game that runs without any chance of reward, and that means that most likely they come because they feel interested in realizing the chances of winning that exist in gambling, meaning that most people come to gambling because of the opportunity to “multiply”.

What you enjoy doing, whether it gives you money or not, can be regarded as entertainment. Most people find their way to gambling houses to get entertained, to ease stress and tension.

Someone who's at the end of their gambling activities for the day actualizes that(entertained, eases stress and tension), have at least gained something from their gambling journey for the day even if they lose from gambling.

[CODE200]

I don't think that deep inside, no one really believes that it's all entertainment that's the driving force in gambling, people don't like to admit that they hunger for money so I do believe in the fact that it's just a lie that a lot of people told themselves to make it seem like gambling and losing your money in gambling isn't that bad and that you're not really losing anything besides the money. But to indulge what we're supposed to mean with entertainment when it comes to gambling, it's the same thing as any other definition that's already mentioned, that it's a way to generate happy hormones so you can have fun and the only thing that I'd add in that definition is that the entertainment that it will generate is going to be addicting if you don't know how to deal with your emotions.

Your statement is subjective, gambling means different thing to different caliber of financial people. There are gamblers that are filthy rich and they gamble because they want to increase their wealth. What they do is pick one option out of many in the casino and put large amount of money and they are okay with that; as soon as they win, they are happy with the result and doesn't care how and why the result came like that and that's their personality with gambling.

We have people that don't care about the money as long they are happy, take a look at Drake for example, the dude is known for staking as high as $500k into games and boxing and doesn't care what people would say. He is even fond of putting it online for people to see, I guess this is how he enjoy his own gambling despite been a rich musician who can afford anything, I wouldn't say Drake would be gambling $500k and showing the public with intention of trying to get rich.

If we can accept the reality of playing gambling which is losing the money, we will be okay with that because we knows that playing gambling can makes us lose the money. We will consider that is the price that we will gets if we still playing gambling but we will not try to recover the lose because we knows that is not easy.
We will lets the money gone without thinks to gets it back because we thinks that gambling is just for entertainment and have fun. That will not looks strange if we can accept the lose and feels the pleasure of playing gambling even if we lose the money.
You use gambling with some money and spends some time to playing gambling but you will not feels regret with the lose because you can affords to lose that money in gambling. That is because you knows that playing gambling can gives lose for you.

Though every gambler may have different meaning to what entertainment means to them, on a general scale, entertainment when it comes to gambling is the act of finding fun, joy and happiness while gambling, irrespective of the amount set asides, of which this process of fun in gambling are always mostly on casino games, whereby an individual could go out with his family or friends to go play a slot game, while guessing who will likely win the highest amount. Or probably guessing who may be the luckiest among them. Hence, this issue of entertainment are of different forms.

There are many kinds of entertainment and as gamblers describe gambling as entertainment because they feel entertained by the games in various casinos besides that they can have fun while hoping to win. If they win they consider it a bonus for them but if they lose they also feel entertained. because the goal from the start is just to have fun losing from gambling is a normal thing, basically if we want fun entertainment we need to spend money to give us pleasure. Just like we want a holiday, of course we need to spend money just like gambling.

However, when it comes to gambling, I never invite my family to join in gambling, even if it's for fun, but that's not a good example, especially if the children know that they will consider gambling as an entertainment game for them, which shouldn't be a game for them, so if I want entertainment, I play. gambling alone, if not with my friends, and the most important thing is to be able to control myself so that I don't easily get involved in fun which causes spending to become out of control.

I rather believe that entertainment in gambling is essentially linked to the possibility of winning money. If you play cards for example without betting money you get bored much earlier than if you bet money, even a little.

Often the concept of entertainment is used to say that in good gambling you should not put false hopes and play with money that you can afford to lose in order to be entertained. But just as you can lose money you can win it, and that is the crux of entertainment.

When I said go gamble for fun with your wife, I never meant always, I meant as a gambler which we all are, you you could take your family (i.e wife or kind) to go experience what gambling looks like for the sake of fun, it's never a bad idea, inasmuch as it's not done always, but rather once or twice a year to go play either roulette or slot games, because I have seen situations where kids tend to be more luckier than adults while playing these luck base games. And if you could try your luck it's never a bad idea. But however, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and it's what you believe in that may likely works for you.

Often the concept of entertainment is used to say that in good gambling you should not put false hopes and play with money that you can afford to lose in order to be entertained. But just as you can lose money you can win it, and that is the crux of entertainment.

Yes, that's true Sir, which is why I think we always advocate people gamble responsibly.

Yes gambling is foolish to try to make a career or to become a big man gambling only for fun. There is a lot of entertainment to be had after winning at gambling but losing doesn't hurt much if the money is used only for fun.  However, I feel very guilty when I get a big win while gambling but continue to gamble and lose them again. Regrettably then, if the cashout was done at that time, a lot of profit could have been made. Then we don't have that entertainment
