How do you understand entertainment?

[MainIbem]

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?

Different people have their agenda's for gambling, entertainment can't be the only driving force, their are people who gamble for fun, they don't bother about the amount of profits they make from it cause they're already wealthy, I've seen someone who decided to bet against his team to prove to his friends that they'll lose cause they're not good enough to beat their opponents, and their are still people who gamble for the money and are always chasing the jackpot, and you'll also hear that people take it as a side hustle. All these are different reasons why people gamble but the main goal should be understanding the game and avoiding much loses cause no matter the reason anyone gambles for, having excess loss on a regular shouldn't be an option, nobody should gladly lose money whether rich or poor.

If that is the way you view it then no one can really say anything about it, however gambling is considered part of the entertainment industry and the majority of people will agree that it is a form of entertainment, after all when you go see a movie you need to pay for the tickets, food, drinks and the gasoline to get there, which is a significant expense, so just because the money that you can spend while gambling is variable, it does not change the fact that you are spending that money to get some fun out of it.

But the difference between gambling and other forms of entertainment is that we can make money from it, while watching movies and listening to music we just spend and spend money. Because that difference has caused many people to abuse it and turn it into a place to make money or a place to get rich quickly, not a place for entertainment. Gambling was created for entertainment purposes but many people do not use it for its original purpose and its reputation is damaged.

Have we ever seen anyone addicted to listening to music or watching movies to the point of bankruptcy  ?  But with gambling , if they cannot control themselves, they will lose money and even go bankrupt . That is why many countries do not consider gambling as entertainment , and even ban it because it can cause social evils. This is unfair to gambling but there is no way we can change people's minds .

you might be right. Gamblers may consider themselves having fun gambling or even a side job. but the gambler's target is still to chase victory. No matter what losses you get, you won't feel happy if you don't win. Even in today's online games, when you lose you will only be left with anger and anxiety inside you. conversely, when you win, you will get pleasure.
what differentiates it may be the gambler's attitude after the loss obtained from the game. When we consider gambling as a side job, then you will feel like you don't get paid when you work. and each gambler may respond differently when in such a situation.

In essence, if only they understood the game, especially the concept of winning in gambling and were also aware of the risks, then they should not make themselves so impulsive, meaning that it is very likely that if everyone used their common sense properly and correctly in terms of understanding what and how gambling actually is, then only there is one option they will choose, namely gambling with the intention and aim of seeking entertainment.

The reason is clear as you said that it is a fact that everyone certainly does not want to experience losing a lot of money, therefore if they can use their common sense well when thinking then there should only be one better choice if they really want to stay involved in This activity is gambling for fun. The best approach is not to make winning a priority but rather to consider that it is nothing more than a bonus that comes by chance.

But on the other hand, yes, as you believe that gamblers who come by ignoring the thought of "doubling up" are really a minority in gambling, because most of them dedicate themselves more to always trying to make money in it, I understand that gambling does provide every gambler has the opportunity to win but when they continue to focus on that goal then of course it could be a disaster in the future.

Gambling can be fun or entertaining depending on how you are playing your games. People can also gamble because they want to have fun therefore do not think that everybody that is gambling is only doing that because they want to make money. Entertainment is anything that you can do that will make you to be happy, There are many people gambling because they want to make money as they think gambling is a good way to make money due to the things they hear around them but most people that have this mindset lose when they gamble as they do not have discipline and do not follow gambling rules and regulations. When Gambling and you do not plan how you are going to use your money so you do not finish them, you will go broke very fast. Gambling without having the mindset that you must make money from your bets is what I will consider to be gambling for entertainment.

Gambling's not your typical activity, guys. It raises your heart rate but breaks you in the hospital. Gambling is more than amusement. Primal, addicting urge wrapped in easy money. Gambling can take everything from you, including your sanity, unlike movies or music

Individual freedom is essential, but gambling's downside is clear. More than "losing some money". It's about broken families, bankruptcies, and crumbling lives. Countries may restrict gambling, but it's not because they're evil. Their goal is to protect their people from a social tragedy. Not a loaded rifle in your face, entertainment should be a chilled beer on a hot day. "Is the thrill really worth the potential devastation?" we must ask ourselves when gambling

[darkangel11]

Entertainment is something that kills time and makes you feel good in the end. A great example is going to the movies. You spend some time, have fun and when it ends you feel satisfaction. You go home feeling good and go to bed happy and whole, looking forward to another day. Most people feel this way after winning and taking money home. They go to bed happy and excited, feeling like winners.
As you can see this is pretty easy to explain. If you feel bad after gambling it shouldn't be called entertainment.

[Accardo]

Abstractly, dependence on entertainment leads to addiction. It stays uncertain to line up every entertainment gambler as responsible or addiction proof. I admit that that compulsive behavior controls a stronghold of every single player's brain. Entertainment without gambling is incomplete for millions of sport men. And gambling must come with slightly imaginable wins to keep the fun rolling. However, with zero doubt, it's admissible to acknowledge players who carefree on the outputs emerging from their predictions; strictly on fun. Unfortunately, they all belong to a minority group, and if it wasn't for this challenge, the entire gambling community wouldn't have consisted of too many troubles.

Yes, and for other types of entertainment that are not risky, for example, maybe that is not a problem, but if it turns out to be gambling then of course the impact of the risk is very large because it involves money and risk. As I said before, when someone comes with the intention of looking for entertainment then there is little chance of ending up with an addiction, but that doesn't mean it's impossible either, because in gambling anything can happen, especially changes in perspective that can occur over time when a gambler's awareness starting to weaken.

But on the other hand, yes, as you believe that gamblers who come by ignoring the thought of "doubling up" are really a minority in gambling, because most of them dedicate themselves more to always trying to make money in it, I understand that gambling does provide every gambler has the opportunity to win but when they continue to focus on that goal then of course it could be a disaster in the future.

Anything goes in gambling for its balanced control on player's emotions. Money builds connections with people's minds. We hardly forget those we lent our money to, they keep appearing on our daily thoughts. It's better to dash out money, than lend it. The later affects us emotionally, and could make us go extra length to get the person pay back the funds. Same applies to gamblers who don't assume they dashed out money to the casino. Instead play aggressively to win back their lost money. Entertainment in a simple term under this context is solely based on the ability to forgo the money spent in a casino. And only a few people can let go of this thoughts.

You are getting this all wrong, and it shows you are speaking biasedly from the angle of a negative and devasted gambler, but this is not particularly true for all situations. Truly, some gamblers may be deceiving themselves to be having fun in it, but I tell you, some are sincerely having fun in it regardless of what you think. And since you are not them or have not had the privilege to be a friend of any of them, you may never know.

For instance, it is my sports betting that I take seriously for the money, so your view may apply. But for my casino gambling, judging by the nature of the casino itself, I've resorted to gambling only for fun in it, or else, I will be deceiving myself. With that mindset alone, I was able to be careful with it and wager a ridiculously low amount of money for the fun's sake. Such an amount can never hurt me no matter what I lose and I do this often when I feel like visiting the casino branch which will not stop.

My bankroll may even last more than 2 months in the account which makes it well-planned and for a purpose. There are many like me as well, so you don't always say for everybody as if they act, feel and plan the same way.

With what is going on and the consequences that gambling causes, what you say is not wrong . We no longer consider gambling as entertainment but instead , we are turning it into a place to make quick money and a breeding ground for vices. But if we look deeply into the problem, it is clear that this is human behavior and not entirely the fault of gambling . If people could restrain their greed and just use it as a means of entertainment like any other means of entertainment, it wouldn't have such a bad reputation . But because human greed is something that cannot be controlled, the government had to ban gambling instead of finding ways to prevent people's greed.

Many people who gamble certainly have different perceptions or goals, but the majority of people who gamble are to make a profit or win because winning is the most important thing that gamblers look for. Apart from that, the pleasure of gambling is of course in winning. can be obtained, but unfortunately winning at gambling is not easy to get and does not happen to everyone who gambles, only lucky people will win at gambling, even if they bet with a small bet amount, they can get a maximum of big wins from the number of bets they make. and indeed it all depends on their own goals.

People who gamble really are not looking for a win but are just looking for entertainment, of course they will not be obsessed with the winnings that are gambled on. I think people who gamble for entertainment are people who can control themselves because they tend not to mind the money they lose when it is gambled because they already know that losing is something that is certain to happen and the thing that should be done with defeat is not to gamble again but to stop there, the pleasure of people who gamble for entertainment may be in the flow of gambling that is carried out.

I understand it this way:

If I have money to spend on leisure activities, I have several choices, such as going out to eat, going to a fair, going to the cinema, etc. I only count the ones that cost money, but of course you can do leisure activities for free.

If I go to the physical casino and I spend $100, I'll take it as if I went out for dinner, the only difference being that when you go out for dinner you can't leave with more money than you came in with. In the casino you can, but I take it for granted and if after spending some time I walk out with more money than I came in with, so much the better. But I'm also aware that most of the time that doesn't happen, and that I'm not 'on a roll' or anything like that, which is what makes people keep betting even if they win or lose everything.

Entertainment might be different for everyone and it is important to know what is your entertainment and what are you planning to do to be entertained. I don’t think it’s always going to be straightforward because we are all different and it is in terms of what we want really.

Going towards a gambling approach I think it will also depend on the capital because if you have just a small amount you would just gamble a little bit but if you have a lot, I think you would need to be continuously entertained. So the game would probably be multiple things and maybe it would be multiple variations as well.

Yes, of course it depends on how someone treats the gambling activity itself, and of course all approaches will be created depending on what their goal is in gambling, if earning money is not a priority for you then yes maybe you will be able to experience entertainment and pleasure as long as you are involved in it, but if it turns out your goal is to produce then you will definitely not feel entertainment or pleasure but rather pressure that can disturb you mentally and psychologically.

On the other hand, I understand that not all gamblers have intentions and goals like that, but I am sure that the majority of them like money so it is very likely that the gamblers who come just to look for entertainment are a minority, I am sure that the opportunity to win is provided by casinos is the biggest reason why many people are interested in getting involved in this activity.

Of course this will be different for everyone... there is entertainment because he is tired of too much work so he wants to find entertainment in gambling... there is also because of entertainment the desire to gamble because curiosity will always be there, they have their own choices, of course...

I gamble with a little capital so the entertainment is only briefly, of course, a little capital the game will not last long, unlike with large capital, of course there is an adrenaline game that can be stressful because of the high number of bets as well as large capital ... I understand that there will be more variety, but if there is too much capital it can become addictive.

Your comment actually qualifies what entertainment means, but it's obvious that a lot of gamblers are gambling primarily for the expected profit, and therefore they will always feel bad and defeated if their prediction doesn't go as they had expected. When I started gambling, it was on the verge of just making a profit, not until I understood that gambling was just to be handled as a means of entertainment and not a proper way to get financial freedom. It is better to handle gambling just as a means of fun and not as a financial source because it can make a person bitter when they experience losses.

Abundance of money may lead to addiction, but it's uncertain for all players. The transient nature of handling lesser amount in a game casually tempts a gambler with much capital to tire himself out in a gaming session; losing most of his funds. Satisfaction is never guaranteed for any player, and it's a kissing cousin to entertainment. A player who isn't satisfied with his gambling experience in a singled day wouldn't feel entertained. Truly, entertainment and satisfaction have to do with state of mind. Assumption plays vital roles in attaining entertainment. If a player doesn't assume he's satisfied he wouldn't feel entertained. Failure to achieve satisfaction breeds greediness and controls a player towards making critical mistakes like going to borrow money.

Like everything in life, gambling is mostly about balance. Some people become addicted to the excitement, the possibility to win large, and thats when things may go wrong. For many, though, its only a little entertainment value. Smart gamblers understand their limitations. They stick to it knowing their own willingness to spend. They are not striving a living off the tables or chasing losses. There's nothing wrong with them just having a nice time.

We have to educate people to be wise with their money. Its about understanding what you can afford. Its about learning self-control and resisting the will of your emotions to rule you. The secret to succeeding in life is that, people. Not in only the casino but in all you do.

From a psychological point of view it is like that, I agree with your thoughts that indeed when someone who wants entertainment but does not get satisfaction in gambling it will only cause a sense of uncertainty within himself, someone must be satisfied first before he can feel entertained by the game or bet he does.

But maybe there are different things when someone is good at being grateful, he will feel happy even though he does not have satisfaction in his game, because this goes back to the mindset of the person again, whether looking for satisfaction or looking for a scheme of life just to complete his life, that's why he gambles even though it's only for a while and doesn't feel satisfied, but that doesn't mean he's not happy with the gambling he does, this goes back to the ambitions and goals of people in gambling and that's what I think will determine whether he is happy or not.

Yes, people who are looking for victory and big games with big ambitions, it will certainly be very difficult to play gambling with a short time and small capital, because there is no satisfaction logically if you look from there.

[famososMuertos]

It's simple, going to a circus is entertainment, going a second time can be a commitment, a date, then that date leads to a marriage, consequently you go with your children and it results in an obligation, that is a scenario, since for others it will never stop being entertainment, therefore, as far as gambling is concerned it is relative.
