How do you understand entertainment?

[passwordnow]

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.

It is true that somehow this word have different meaning to others. An act may have different level of entertainment also that it can provide to an individual. So yes, there is no absolute definition for this word. It may change from one person to another and how a certain activity is labeled as entertainment.

There goes the definition and meaning of it. But it depends on how each of us portray the meaning of it because each understanding for each of us has different meanings. Well, for someone who finds it amusing and entertainment, it won't be hurting him to lose as long as he's having. And there goes those that are finding it entertaining with the actual game that they're playing without having any feeling at all. Others find it casual that it's fun to do it as a normal daily activity or when they're gambling together with their friends. I know it's something odd but it does happens.

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.

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.

Entertainment can have a calming effect or complement a person's emotional level due to being bored, stressed due to being too tired at work and other problems faced unintentionally. Everyone has their own way of refreshing unstable moods, including looking for entertainment in gambling places. Gambling as entertainment is familiar to people who are often involved in gambling, this type of gambler is not too obsessed with the results obtained in betting, they just want to vent their feelings by buying entertainment in their own way.

Without entertainment, life feels empty, entertainment has many functions and purposes that vary from each person's objective and perspective. Saya pernah melihat seseorang memasang taruhan tanpa mempedulikan berapapun hasil yang keluar, dia terus menikmati permainan tersebut dengan perasaan happy meski sudah menghabiskan beberapa dolar.

[GideonGono]

For me entertainment in gambling is when I feel thrilled and enjoying the moment when I am playing.
The feeling of excitement in every bet while waiting for the result, even if it is just for quick or short spam of time.
That is why I only play crash game and mines.

People's enjoyment is definitely different, as is the point of view of the meaning of entertainment in gambling. I personally use gambling as entertainment because I really enjoy spinning on a slot machine and I don't know why every time I spin, sometimes I smile a little if the spin doesn't go as expected. because I don't expect to get a lot of money from the game I'm playing, so I still feel happy if the game only lasts a short time or can be played for a longer time with the capital limit that I set when I want to play.

It's true that people's perspectives vary, such as people who think gambling is not entertainment, but each person makes different kinds of entertainment. such as playing slots, cards, football, everyone definitely has the right to create entertainment to relieve boredom, stress or other things. I always play with friends or neighbors, whether it's slots, card gambling, there is harmony and laughter because their hopes are missed, which becomes a source of laughter.

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.

I think that the main driving force for gambling is the desire to become rich and not entertainment. Take a survey from gamblers as whether they are gambling for fun/entertainment or the purpose is to gain quick money, and you will be surprised to know that mostly gamblers gamble to earn money and entertainment is just a secondary thing for them. Some may even don't care for entertainment, they only care for the monetary gains.

Or maybe entertainment for you is something else?

There can be nothing more entertaining than winning by gambling and gaining money. Do you think there is anything more entertaining than this?
Think of a person only gambling for fun and he loses, will he still feel entertained? Surely the sad emotions of losing money will overcome the entertaining emotions of gambling. 

[knowngunman]

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?

Everyone will have a different opinion regarding this but I think my opinion as far as entertainment is concern seems to be the same with Wikipedia. Entertainment in gambling to me is when one engage in gambling for pleasure, fun and to pass time. When one is gambling responsibly with a reasonable amount of money when they feel to gamble, enjoy the moment regardless of whether they win or lose that money, they are gambling for entertainment. However, you hardly find people who gamble purely for entertainment purpose, some few people exist but the majority are in for another reason entirely.

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.

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 IS a form of entertainment. Albeit, perhaps one of the most expensive ones if you count it by money spend by time.

It's kinda crazy actually if you calculate it this way. Video games are cheaper than even movies or just drinking because even an expensive 60 USD game will get you hundreds of hours of gameplay. So really if you play gambling just to pass time even with the minimums, over time you keep loosing amounts that if you look at them aren't insignificant. Unless of course your income can comfortably support it.
But also many people could greatly benefit financially from cutting gambling. Many people take too late to consider it sadly.

[Bravut]

Everyone have intention while they gamble, for sure I know that majority gamble because of Money and even those who say they gamble for entertainment still have quest for money. Entertainment in gambling, is financed with money of which should be limited because one can still get addicted. The urge for Rush of Dopamine is high in both party, I cannot really grasp the level of entertainment they gain, in essence limits, rules and discipline should apply as one gamble. Aside gambling there are still other sources of entertainment.

[Zanab247]

Taking gambling as entertainment, it will help you to remain in gambling to fulfill your purpose in the gambling because it will not allow you to put more money that will make you to give up on gambling when you lose than to use small amount of money to gamble to continue using it to entertain yourself.

Entertainment is what some addicted gamblers refuse to embrace in the gambling, that made them to find themselves in such condition that is making people to disrespect them anyhow, because they use to sell things anyhow just to gamble.

Gambling is what I use to entertain myself at home or at work ,because I have a daily budget for my gambling and if I don't gamble a day, I will not feel comfortable until I use it to entertain myself before I will be at peace with people.

And those games are truly for entertainment. I do mostly sportsbetting and some dice, I find them entertaining as well but I am more serious with sports betting because you can't go lielow with it and just bet how you wish to.

Unlike with dice and other luck-based games, they're made for fun.

As much as I want to have fun but at most times, I always think if there will be return of my money so if I lose, then the part of thinking that I have enjoyed the game is the description of entertainment for me. Or when losing isn't too heavy for my heart.

your words hit me.
I bet more often on football matches. I don't bet on every match but more often on weekends or when the team I follow is playing. that way I limit my bets with all the risks that could make me lose control. I enjoy that.

but in certain situations, such as when the World Cup or Euros are held. I can bet every day, making me lose control over the allocation I usually set. in such betting situations, I no longer enjoy even when I get winnings in betting.

I believe in gambling for fun. what makes it complicated is only our behavior.

Entertainment is not the only driving Force for which people Gamble. There are professional gamblers who engage in the activity as a means of livelihood or a side hustle. For these ones entertainment takes on a whole different meaning. If I am asked what entertainment in gambling is for me, I would say that entertainment in gambling for me is, engaging in the activity as a way to relax, have fun, bond with other humans, learn something new or not with the possibility of getting rewarded for it during a game through winning and where I do not win, I do not get worked up over it. I accept my loss and in no time forget about it and move on.

Entertainment is keeping the mind happy. so distracting yourself in the way the mind enjoys itself is a legitimate way to get entertainment.Gambling entertains us when we enjoy gambling games with attention. there are different types of games in gambling, some games can have a bad effect on us and we should avoid those games and play those games which can give us pleasure with less loss. It will reduce financial loss and provide entertainment. Gambling can be used in many ways so people who abuse gambling or become addicted to gambling cannot take entertainment in the hope of earning money.

When one is entertained he felt happy and he/she still feels to do more because he's happy. If we look more closely, we noticed that most gamblers don't stop gambling when they are winning. More everyone have their own way of being entertained that's why we have some gamblers that doesn't feel entertained when they are losing and to me I call that Attitude a kind of gambling to make profit with aggressiveness. people who feels entertained don't care if they lose or they win. All they need it just the feelings.

[Hatchy]

We sometimes just want to believe that when we gamble, it's for fun of which it's true but most times the fact is that percentage of the gamblers who gambles are into it for the profits which of cause comes with a big risk. some people don see any fun in gambling though it's entertaining and a way for use to think or stress our brains. When we gamble we don't want to make it so obvious that we are in to it for the profit because this way, you will only lose more than expected. If we take it as a form of entertainment and jus enjoy the fun we might not think too much about our losses and when we make wins, we celebrate more. Whatever way, we choose to see gambling as depends on our experience with it.

Entertainment, the articulation of the meaning of the word entertainment is broad depending on how you define it. Entertainment is generally often associated with anything that can be an entertainer or solace. In general, entertainment can be in the form of music, films, sports or games. So, in your opinion, how do you define entertainment?
related to gambling, in this modern era casinos tend to function as places of entertainment, both physical casinos and the era of online casinos. In physical casinos, it's not just gambling that is a means of entertaining its visitors. However, the casino includes all facilities for the comfort and safety of visitors. whether it starts with free drinks, a magnificent and beautiful place to relax and everything that supports it. so that gamblers can enjoy it when playing, or betting. Nowadays entertainment is not only done physically, I mean in the world of gambling.

Now, online casinos provide services for those who enjoy entertainment based on risky games. Even though there are differences with physical casinos, we can still get entertainment at online casinos. for example, releasing fatigue just to relax after busy activities after work. In this way, our minds will be diverted for a moment to the game we are playing. or, whatever type of gambling. but with the concept, what we do is only for entertainment. which means, the money that was budgeted is ready to be lost. If we win, of course it will be very fun and very entertaining. if we lose, it means entertainment is no longer fun. in other words, stop it and for me it's that simple. The important point for me from gambling activities, is not looking for or trying to get rich overnight from gambling. because, that is something that is almost impossible especially with a limited bankroll.

[darkangel11]

For example, you play in order to understand the laws of the game over time and learn to win more often.

No, I never play to understand the game. You don't gamble to get to know the rules, that's in the manuals. Show me a gambling game besides card games where you have something important to learn through playing. Entertainment is an activity that brings you joy. It can be watching TV, playing computer games, riding a bicycle, driving a car... Gambling, as long as you're having fun is just that and if you gamble to learn how to gamble, then you're risking a bit too much for my taste.

[Juse14]

I view gambling as an expensive form of entertainment, because to enjoy gambling we may experience defeat or loss first. Meanwhile, this pleasure is only temporary, so in the end what we get is only disappointment and disappointment.

However, if you have good time management and financial management, then it won't be a problem when you decide to enter the world of gambling. because good time and financial management is the key to keeping gambling activities under control.

Understanding that gambling has the potential to cause financial and emotional harm is an important step in gambling wisely. With a controlled and responsible approach, you can enjoy gambling as a form of entertainment without having a significant negative impact on your life.

Yes, sometimes at the end of the day, you gamble what you can afford to lose, but still that is money and it's expensive to have some fun. But as the saying goes, life is expensive and if we really wanted to have a good life then we need to spend.

Understanding that gambling has the potential to cause financial and emotional harm is an important step in gambling wisely. With a controlled and responsible approach, you can enjoy gambling as a form of entertainment without having a significant negative impact on your life.

It's already a given fact, we have read countless stories about millionaires blowing their money on gambling and so even if you have huge amount of money, sooner or later if you don't control it, you are going to lose everything in gambling. You entertainment yourself, but if you don't have self control, everything will be taken away from you by this casinos.

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.

Entertainment for me surely is not spinning the reels in vain just to have some fun.Entertainment for me needs to bring on at least some adrenaline and I believe most people it is what they perceive as entertainment.I know that many people start gambling just for fun but this escalates pretty quickly in not being fun anymore.The lost sessions one after one even they are started as a "fun" session bring on some rage as it is impossible for the human being to not have emotions,it is deep in our DNA to live by emotions and as such we cannot really control well when losing money becomes a constant mentally draining business.

Therefore surely entertainment is not losing money and I doubt anyone feels entertained when he for example has lost all his per-allocated bankroll for his gambling activities,I know for sure that no one is entertained by losing money.
