How do you understand entertainment?

[HelliumZ]

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.

I agree with you, different people have different concepts about entertainment, some people prefer to spend $500 at the casino while others spend that same amount on a dinner with drinks, and both of them are looking for entertainment. But only one of them has the chance to end with profit, and that one is the one who has fun with gambling.

I hardly believe that gambling has an entertainment side without a doubt. Is a good way to have a good time.

Different people have different types of entertainment but earning money from entertainment is also different. Some spend their time in casinos and gambling sites to earn money as well as entertainment while others spend their time climbing mountains for entertainment. Others seek entertainment by sitting at home reading funny books while others want to travel with their girlfriends on a long drive. Just as there is no shortage of people in the world, there is no end to the variety of human entertainment.  But entertainment means entertainment to find a little relief in a weary life.

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?

The last part of your post settles everything.... It has never made sense to me that people say they only gamble to have fun. There's a lot of things you can do for fun; if you wanna have fun, hit the gym. You wanna have fun, pick up swimming lessons etc...  you don't stake heavily on a game that has a possibility of high returns and you call it "just for fun". Everyone is always expecting something at the end, otherwise why do you make speculation before wagering? The shouldn't be any need for that.

Entertainment? - for me, I feel it shouldn't go beyond the "reefs". Also, you said they seldom play on those games just to understand the rules to WIN MORE OFTEN?

Lolz 😂, what you said makes a whole lots of sense to me to be honest, the truth of the matter actually is that, many of the gamblers who claim to be gambling for fun or as a means of entertainment are actually saying that for two possible reasons..
1. As a way to convince themselves so they don't feel too bad just incase when they lose money.
2. Or either so they don't get judged by other gamblers who might accuse them of gambling for money when that not what gambling is meant for.
Or maybe for both reasons actually.

But then, the truth of the matter remains that, every gambler that is wagering real hard earned money is expecting to win, which also translates to making profit, and this is not just a truth, but a fact actually.

oops, careful with your jaws 😉..I don't know why they haven't been able to say things exactly the way is it.

1. As a way to convince themselves so they don't feel too bad just incase when they lose money.
2. Or either so they don't get judged by other gamblers who might accuse them of gambling for money when that not what gambling is meant for.

Although what you said is true, i don't think anyone can suppress that adrenaline rush in them.. especially when you're watching the games being played.. another sign of nervousness would be rechecking and reloading flashscore.mobi everytime.

But then, the truth of the matter remains that, every gambler that is wagering real hard earned money is expecting to win,

Without a doubt! The expectation continues until the results are out...  Alot of people that go about telling others that they wager for fun would feel a deep regret when they bag a huge loss instead of winning.

However, from the beginning I don't accept the fact that I (my self) is gambling for fun because I know a lot of things that I can use my money to do and I will find peace from them. But the truth is that I just developed this mindset that I am gambling for fun😊, but inside me I know I am not. Moreover your first point is not bahd because it's actually says about me. But I am sure that there are some gambler that are gambling for fun out there. Besides the reasons why I said that I am gambling for fun is because I only gamble with the amount I can afford to risk. When you gamble with the amount you can afford to risk you won't feel too bad even when you lose them.

How about you just STF up and relax? This write-up ain't making no sense at all .. you don't gamble for fun? That's absolutely no one's business.. Why y'all repeating the same cookie-cutter post everytime?

Besides the reasons why I said that I am gambling for fun is because I only gamble with the amount I can afford to risk.

Although it's quite obvious that you don't gamble, but lemme just play along; sounds like you really like to have fun with your money?

I hardly believe that gambling has an entertainment side without a doubt. Is a good way to have a good time.

One of the most honest answers I've seen in a while... You could have as much fun as you wish, but you gotta pay for it... I don't even think there's a possibility that a person living in affluence would wager a dime, without anticipation.

What each one of us finds entertaining differs based on our personalities, and I have no doubts there are people that do not understand how gambling can be fun at all, as it is an activity that is highly repetitive, still there is no denying that gambling for fun is a real thing, as it is obvious the people here on the forum understand very well they have no chance to make profits with gambling, and they still decide to spend some money this way as a way to relieve some stress and get some fun they may not get any other way.

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.

my own understanding of gambling I don't believe that entertainment is a driving force of gambling but I quite know that the reasons why people involve themselves in gambling is because of those make a quick money but many people will not say it to the understanding of people and they also the reasons why people involving gambling, so whoever that says, that gambling is all about entertainment I think that person is saying a negative thing to the society so it is very clear to everyone that the reason why people involve themselves in gambling and why gambling is having a much traffic today is because people especially young use needed a quick money

When I hear people say they go to casino to have fun, I see that as a laughable statement and not take them serious because if they really want to have fun, it wouldn't be a place like casino. Though, when physical casino were very popular back then, people go there and chat to play games which is really fun to even watch people playing, there is more of them around Asia axis but you see online casino, it will be delusional for anyone to think online casino is fun.

Money is what motivate everyone in gambling, if the casino primary aim is to make people lose money to them, then your objectives and aim should be making that money from them, not going their to play. They would have charge you for using th casino to have fun but you are gambling there instead and you should be able to win money from them.

I think most of those that speak about entertainment when gambling because gambling is not about fun because there is no fun when losing your hard earn money, so for don't believe in all those statements of gambler who says they gamble for fun but mean while they are wagering with the expectation of winning big, profits is the major drive for gambling so let accept that fact and face it as it should be, we can't decieve ourselves any longer because most of the comments here point to Gambling for fun which is far from the reality of things on ground,.

When we have the right mindset we will make so much progress and for sure I don't want to believe that those that  take gambling calling it entertainment does so to avoid public condemnation of their gambling involvement, at least now that the era of cryptocurrency casino is on the rise, there is high privacy for anyone gambling using cryptocurrency and only you know that you are gambling and no one else.

Hahaha, you might be right in some kind of way. But i won't generalize it to everyone who says they are gambling for fun. For real some of them are gambling for fun and entertainment. Gambling doesn't mean staying at home to place bets or going to a local casino and make a good pick in the name of fun. There persons who goes to casino to have fun at the same time gamble. I know most times i go out to play 8 ball pool and at the same time I find myself gambling with other players and if i lose i don't feel bad because when i win i feel excited and i know i was only having. And to be honest I always have a maximum amount i can exceed if am to gamble any day.

I highly agree, most gamblers who stated that they are just gambling for fun are just masking their real intention of winning money, else they will do other forms of entertainment that will not give them a chance to win money from wagering such as mountain climbing,  hiking or deep diving.

But then, the truth of the matter remains that, every gambler that is wagering real hard earned money is expecting to win, which also translates to making profit, and this is not just a truth, but a fact actually.

Who does not want to profit in his action may it be a service, job or entertainment?  Any activity or hobby that deals with wagering money obviously has a goal of winning more money.  Even some of those who establish charity foundations and churches wanted to profit from the establishment, what more for people who go to gambling to wager money?

Each person does have their different approach towards gambling on which there would really be those individuals who are really that focusing too much about fun and there are people who are really that focusing on making money but usually or most people will really be that majorly be that pertaining or wants on making money with gambling on which its a common approach. Fun and entertainment would really be just that second in line on which this is something thats understandable since human beings are naturally greedy on which it would really be that just normal that they would really be wanting to have more money and via means on doing gambling then it would really be something which is understandable. You would really be losing up yourself on making that enjoyment on the moment that you are losing.  

This is why gambling industry is really that profitable due to the fact that majority of gamblers are really that too impulsive. They would really be loving on chasing up their loses and being that too desperate
on trying to hit up jackpots. This is why they cant really just that resist to make even more deposits until they would really be busting it all. There would really be just those individuals
who are really that good when it comes to self moderation and control on which this is a must thing if you are getting involved with gambling.

The middle class people think of getting rich in a short period of time by gambling. But those who gamble with the thought of getting rich never get the pleasure of gambling. Those who take gambling as a pastime never worry about losing in gambling.Gambling with the thought of earning money by playing, they face many problems and get worried when they lose gambling.

This is correct. When you have people take profit-making from gambling into their minds, it affects the way they think and the way they gamble.
 
The fun part of gambling is being put aside as they chase big profits with the ambition to hit a jackpot, and most of the time they usually end up losing all they put in, and when they lose, they get emotionally hurt, which affects their next decision in terms of selecting the next game. There is little to no fun when someone is gambling mainly for the profit.

Yes I will also say that what you said is true, our mindset is something that will trigger action, or what is meant is that all actions must be done based on ideas or desires on the basis or certain reasons, and if a gambler is already focused on money then it is clear that it can greatly influence all forms of action that they will do.

However, focusing yourself and your mind on money or winning in gambling is a very dangerous idea, where it is very likely that it is very easy for them to fall into and get carried away because of various aggressive or impulsive actions that are driven by the wrong way of thinking and goals, in the end yes it is certain for them to lose most of the assets they have, because usually gamblers who have the intention and goal to produce will always find it difficult to ignore greed so that the various actions they take actually lead them back to defeat when they have previously won, and of course there will never be any pleasure in it but the pressure and tension that they will feel, therefore this is why gambling with the aim of producing is always prohibited.

What each one of us finds entertaining differs based on our personalities, and I have no doubts there are people that do not understand how gambling can be fun at all, as it is an activity that is highly repetitive, still there is no denying that gambling for fun is a real thing, as it is obvious the people here on the forum understand very well they have no chance to make profits with gambling, and they still decide to spend some money this way as a way to relieve some stress and get some fun they may not get any other way.

It can be entertainment only if you initially do not perceive gambling as earnings, and losing or winning will not matter to them, but simply as a way to distract yourself from work. Only it seems to me that you need to play on a small budget, so that in case of loss there is no big disappointment, but this is relevant for me, maybe someone needs to risk big money to distract themselves.

There is little to no fun when someone is gambling mainly for the profit.

There is no fun in chasing big profits because the probability of hitting a jackpot is very low. People who gamble for entertainment do not think about waiting for jackpots if they do then they are no more gambling for fun. Gambling is meant to win or lose and if anyone is merely wining more than he loses then I can say he is having fun in gambling but if he is losing more often than the way he wins then such a person is not having fun. That is my definition of gambling for fun.

In a case where a gambler loses several times, it doesn't seem fun to him as he would want to chase profits to cover up his losses. So if the mindset was for fun or entertainment, he would find himself chasing for wins and thus it's no longer fun anymore. Losing in gambling is bound to change our perception in gambling but when we are winning, we still dare to say we are either gambling for fun or for profits.

Entertainment can also be the process of betting itself, waiting for the results of bets, realizing that you have won (or lost), that is, the process of gambling from beginning to end. Not separately, the process for pleasure or the process for the possibility of winning, but in totality.

Limiting the amount of the bet is not necessarily an indicator that the gambler is having fun. Entertainment can be greater with higher bets, because there are more emotions.

Losing in gambling is bound to change our perception in gambling but when we are winning, we still dare to say we are either gambling for fun or for profits.

If a gambler losses many times, he will not gets entertain from gambling because he can not enjoy his gambling activities. His emotion can increase and will trying to recover his lost money.
His mindset will change when he lose some money and will not trying to see gambling as an entertainment because his minds will tells him to recover his lost money. That will makes him spends longer than usual and he will use more money to gets his money back.
But that doesn't mean he can gets his money back because gambling is not like as source of income. That is why he must manage his minds when using gambling and only treat gambling as an entertainment.
