How do you understand entertainment?

[Insanity]

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.

There are people who think of making money by gambling and these people lose all their money by gambling and end up destitute. Because they continue to gamble to recover the money they lost by gambling, they lose all their money and they don't care at all.  Losing all the money gets very worried. So the big people never get extra greedy because they take gambling as a pastime.

[Weawant]

Certain words may have diverse meanings to certain people and this is because they are all understanding it in different ways, some other person may have their own definition for entertainment which may not fit perfectly into your own definition and it still doesn't mean they are wrong after all .

In gambling,some do it for pleasure which happens to tally with your Wikipedia definition meanwhile some alternate between the pleasure and profits so with gambling you are going to see too many variations and it still doesn't mean any of these aren't correct or the other been of a superior position to the other, they are wall just been opinions from different perspectives. For some entertainment/ pleasure come from something else which may be really awkward to you a d even look or sound wired meanwhile for the others what applies generally becomes entertainment.

Yeah most people that usually gamble for fun are the rich, because they don't actually need the money that much and they are not eager to hit the jackpot. Most time some Rich people feel like they can do alot of things as they are wealthy, but so they always think of things they can't easily control , like for instance gambling which is base on luck, so they will take it as a form of entertainment to while away time , and putting some money on the line make it fun  .

While some folks are fully in for the money they can earn from it by hitting the jackpot, and most time those folks normally endup losing everything because of their thirst in making profits through gambling.

Everyone has fun in gambling in their own way. Someone makes inadequate bets and wants to beat the professionals with the help of luck and this will be great entertainment for him. And someone will come in once and make one bet and will not want to play again, and this will be enough for him, which will also be entertainment. It all depends on the specific person and what he needs, because we are different and everyone has their own idea of ​​entertainment. For me personally, gambling has long become an easy pastime in which I do not place many bets, because my passion is no longer at such a high level as it was before, several years ago, when I was young and I had a wild thirst for enrichment.

While some folks are fully in for the money they can earn from it by hitting the jackpot, and most time those folks normally endup losing everything because of their thirst in making profits through gambling.

Everyone has a different mindset, in this case some people want money in gambling and some people just look for fun, but it's not impossible that people who have fun don't want to win, they all want to win but people don't believe in that. and find out how to understand it.

Even though playing gambling is a choice whether to play or stop gambling as well as being addicted to gambling, but sometimes people choose bigger risks to get the jackpot and big wins. They dare to take big risks to get it, which actually makes them addicted to gambling and bankrupt, but for Those who consider gambling just for entertainment will definitely not catch up, let alone recover losses when they lose because they only use money that is ready to be spent, because in their minds they will only think of it as a small example of buying a basketball and playing with the family, they have to spend little money for entertainment so no problem

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?

Being entertained should come easy & natural, you should put yourself in the right setting to be entertained and just be drawn in by sheer curiosity and over joyous feelings over what you are doing / watching etc etc. Entertainment has become synonymous with gambling though since it is a form of entertainment. Lots of folks don't gamble to get entertained tho and addicts surely don't find it entertaining if they aren't winning but sadly that is how it goes most of the time.

The word entertainment is accepted by most of the gamblers but in reality there are very few people who consider gambling as entertainment. In gambling a big part of gambling addicts only think of entertainment when they win in gambling but outside of that no one considers gambling as a center of entertainment. A gambler may be normal when he understands entertainment, but those who would use gambling as a source of income or addicted gamblers are unable to understand what is entertainment in gambling.

Are you sure they don't need the money? They might need the money but they are not desperate for the money and they can live their lives well and happy without the money. Despite that, the winning from gambling taste differently and they will be super excited to hit the jackpot. Everyone love to be successful in whatever they do and that includes the rich gamblers. Therefore, they may not only be gambling for entertainment but to also win money because, like I said before, money from gambling might taste differently to them.

Entertainment is in the mindset. For instance, sport is entertaining, but hysterical fans get to cry or feel moody over a missed opportunity that led to losing a match. Over the period they'll worry about this, but months or years later they'll look back and laugh over it. However from the point of view of gamblers, their mistakes rarely allow them a time of transformation; turning it to a fun factor. It remains a lifetime sad memory for most players. Possibly entertainment has to do with an enduring memory of fun and laughter over a mistake or good deed. If a gambler doesn't have this recurring memory of constant happiness coming from his gambling experience he's not getting enough entertainment through gambling.

We must make gamblnig wiser. We should create a society around it. Let's design places where people might share tales, discuss successes and losses, find encouragement. Imagine casinos with support groups, on-hand counselors, a true feeling of community. That's how you transform a dangerous industry into a shared experience with gambling. An event that might be fun and rewarding even if the cards do not suit you.

Possibly, from that perspective, concessions could be lacking from problem gamblers, which shows fewer interest in making a change. Too many platforms offer online therapy with professionals on the call line waiting endlessly for compulsive players to lay their complaints, but, only a few problem players would genuinely stick to the routine taught by the professional they communicate with, online. While it's difficult, your initial idea of building an organisation for players to share problems, remains the best. It's almost certain that players would confide with other experienced players for advise. Leaving players unchecked worsens their trouble. This type of organisation provides visitations, by players, to compulsive players. An effective strategy lacking in the online settings or the professional therapy platforms.

I think it is not only that Entertainment is in the mindset but it is the expectation that drives the entertainment. For example, you go on to watch a football match and if your favorite team wins only then you are happy otherwise you are sad or have no emotions of happiness.
If we talk about gambling then it is also related to the end result of the gamble, If you win, then you're happy but if you lose, I do not think anyone can be entertained because he lost money. So again it is the expectation that drives entertainment.

There are things that do not involve money like having a get-together with friends and family. In those cases, you will find most people entertained because there is no such thing as expectation or loses from such events.

I hate to disagree with your last paragraph, but, the person who spent the most money to make this gathering happen may not feel entertained depending on the outcome of this event. Which, wholly, relies on the man's mindset. He could forever regret spending all that money on this event. Contrarily, they are players who their gambling mistakes failed to hunt them for a long time, because they didn't permit it to do so. This simply determines why many players get pissed off over their losses. They permit the sad memory to recur in their mind. But that doesn't mean the anger of losing in a game would be swept away easily off our thoughts. Over a period of time, we all have the strength to cancel this painful thought from disturbing a peacefully made up mind.

It might be wrong if I say this to every rich person, but most of them don't gamble for money, however, that doesn't mean they like losing because as you said, everyone likes winning in anything they do, so even if a person is gambling for fun and entertainment and don't care about getting money from it, they wouldn't want to keep losing all the time because that wouldn't be pleasing.

If I'm a gambler, and also rich, I might spend some money on gambling sometimes but I wouldn't want to lose, even if I'm so rich that I don't need to win a lot of money, I would still enjoy the game more if I'm winning, and such people mostly would play games which are multiplayer or competitive and not games such as slots etc.

Every people needs money, no matter if that people are rich or poor because they must buy their daily needs. If they spends all of their money for playing gambling, they will lose the money and can't buy their daily needs. Rich people can use much money to playing gambling but they don't thinks that gambling is a sources of income because they only wants to have fun in gambling. They will use the other ways to make money and not from gambling because they knows that is only makes them lose the money.

Entertainment is part of our life so we must use that occasionally and not too often and if that entertainment is gambling, we must not playing gambling daily or too often because that can cause us lose much money. We can gets many problems from gambling if we can't take care of ourselves besides of just losing the money. Winning from gambling gives big happiness to us but we must remember that we don't have to chase the wins and only treat gambling as part of the entertainment.

Therefore, they may not only be gambling for entertainment but to also win money because, like I said before, money from gambling might taste differently to them.

Maybe what @I_Anime above means is that rich people don't really need money, but they know which is the right place to make money and which is the right place to use it as entertainment, that doesn't mean they don't want to win, because no matter what and anyone will. will be happy when they get free money regardless of whether they are rich or not, but what is certain is that rich people do not make gambling a priority to make money but just for entertainment.

On the other hand, Anad said that everyone likes to be successful in whatever they do, and maybe I would say that does not include gambling, because how can you possibly pursue success like chasing and looking for bigger wins somewhere that depends on luck? ? think about this. So as I said before, everyone loves winning, but that doesn't mean they will do various things to pursue victory, rich people know how to manage money, meaning they won't make an activity that depends on luck to make money.

Of course not all rich people gamble because they have mountains of money so they don't see gambling money as important. Especially the middle class will continue to gamble even after repeated losses. Their only goal is to get rich in a very short time. But we can get some stories of people who got rich by gambling. Gambling is not really for fun, and there are very few people who consider gambling as fun.

Gambling is not really for fun, and there are very few people who consider gambling as fun.

But in fact it does happen where there will definitely be people who do gambling just for fun, especially for those who have wealth who think that the money we call big is not too valuable at all.

We can see many examples especially for some artists or athletes who do gambling and are not responsible for spending their money in gambling like Drake did or maybe what recently happened like when Neymar lost his money which I might even find it difficult to reach where he lost 1 million in just a matter of hours in gambling.
Although we can see a look of disappointment but it happened not because he lost the money he had but was disappointed because of the defeat that occurred.

And for the work done regardless of what happens there will be people who will still consider gambling just to pass the time and have fun with what they do.

In gambling,some do it for pleasure which happens to tally with your Wikipedia definition meanwhile some alternate between the pleasure and profits so with gambling you are going to see too many variations and it still doesn't mean any of these aren't correct or the other been of a superior position to the other, they are wall just been opinions from different perspectives. For some entertainment/ pleasure come from something else which may be really awkward to you a d even look or sound wired meanwhile for the others what applies generally becomes entertainment.

No matter others have different definitions of gambling whether this is considered entertainment or a hobby game that can be profitable but for me gambling must be made into entertainment there is fun that can spend money but you should never be stressed out by losing.

This definition will indeed be different, what is clear is that gambling should be considered fun, do not expect excessive profits even though I know gamblers try to win in their bets, but our definition leads to entertainment, that's all I think.

One main reason why not all rich people gamble is not because they have mountain/S of money, it's because they don't have the time to gamble, some of them are very busy that they even work at night and that's the reason they are rich.. gamble don't know if you are rich or not, it's only the gambler that can say if he is rich or not, and it's not advised to gamble during work hours. Some rich people after working they feel tired and they need to rest so they time they are resting they can't use it to gamble.

Entertainment is where a person has a great time and does not have to think about his life or family problems, and where he can forget about problems at work. When he has fun, he relaxes, restores strength, and for some it energizes him to live and create, as well as work. Personally, entertainment allows me to be very charged and get into a great mood.

Whether gambling is entertainment is a separate question that cannot be answered unambiguously. For me they definitely are because I make small bets which make it more interesting for me to watch the matches. For some players this can be a challenge because they bet too much and it affects their quality of life for the worse and also affects their family members.

Recreation is spending some time around activities that I find joy in when I'm depressed. People get bored sometimes while working so they definitely need entertainment to spend some free time. But in this case there are various types of entertainment among which the simplest entertainment is traveling and fishing. But people nowadays consider gambling as a good source of entertainment. There are many lonely people who have chosen gambling as an important source to pass the time to themselves.

      -      Not all gamblers are entertainment in their purpose, because most of them are sure to get a gambling profit in the casino. And it is common for others to be the only casino online at this time of their cast resource, and it is even different from their hope of lifting life.

So the entertainment is just for gamblers who ignore them, and only limited is the only amount to gamble because their intentions are just entertaining.
