What do you really want from gambling?

[bangjoe]

....

Are you like me? Gambling with no sense of goal, direction?

i myself gamble just for fun, and don't have a specific goal like other people. because i don't want to expect too much from gambling and don't want to set any goals for it. i only gamble when i feel bored and stop when i feel like i'm not getting anything out of it.

Having fun is a goal in my opinion because you have an expectation that gambling gives you pleasure and you get that from gambling. when you say “when you don't get anything from it you stop” as if you are saying that when you get something from gambling you will continue it and that sentence also says that you have a goal in gambling that is done by you, and you when you say that “only gamble when bored” as if you are saying that you gamble to get rid of boredom in yourself. BTW, this is just my opinion on the opinions or views you have given on this thread.

It's a question I asked myself this evening while playing a Slot game on a telegram casino.
I asked myself this question, and was puzzled for a while because I was actually confused of what exactly to answer myself, I wasn't sure if money was what I wanted from gambling, or whether I was just playing to have fun, or whether I was gambling for both money and fun.

You don't really need to be confused wether you are gambling for fun or for Money. The fact remain that we all gamble for money but, gambling does not guarantee us to make alot of money like usual business. But we often do the unthinkable things to achieve a goal of making profit in gambling, but doesn't work out the way we though. If actually money was the main porpos, am really afraid because the money will lead anyone to addiction that will turn the person to something else . Back to the question of the thread. We all really need money but it is always hard to make money from gambling thats why it is called fun. Since we have the feeling of making profit and it's not coming,  literally it becomes addiction.

And honestly, I am still confused, because I've thought of money being what I wanted, then "what is my actual target?, what amount will be enough?" is the next question I asked myself, and I realized I didn't actually have any amount in mind, and this made me conclude that money wasnt really what I wanted, but it's not fun either, cus I cant have fun if I am not winning, like I would always say, " there is no fun in losing money".

So, I thought I should throw this question to the gambling community here, maybe I could draw some ideas from your ideas and contributions.

1. What exactly do you want from gambling? Say it, even if it's something you don't think is possible to achieve.
2. What steps have you take to see if you can achieve that which you want from gambling?

Or

Let's have a healthy discussion.

Going or optioning for fun is the best approach but at most time we are easily carried away by greed and allocate  more than expected, our time, energy, and resources but nevertheless being knowledgeable or having ideas in different things can be good as per gaining exposures and experience which has alot to contribute to ones life generally functioning more effectively in the society by staying inform of things that is going on , such that there is more boldness talking about what you have gained experience and what you have not, no knowledge they said is a waste, I do gamble once in while if not there is no way I would have known what I knew today about gambling so don't feel bad about your situation.

Obviously, this means that gambling can never be used as a place to make money and the reason is because it is clear that no wins come consistently which is because gambling does not have any certainty and guarantee of always being able to produce a win at the end of the session and As for the proof, you have explained above that gamblers often fail to realize their desire to make lots of wins, and I think that is very natural because gambling is not a place to make money.

The reason is how is it possible for us to earn income in a place that has absolutely no certainty or guarantee of always producing a win at the end of every session we do, plus the risk of losing is always a part of gambling. The point is, don't put your faith in something that only depends on luck, because after all that idea will never work, and it's better to look for other activities that can really give us a guarantee of earning, such as public work.

Earning and fun everyone chooses either of these two. I use gambling as fun but sometimes it takes me out of my control without realizing it. Today I gambled at first it was fun I was smoking and listening to music and playing blackjack on my laptop. I started with just $16 and from Win it's $67. Later I got more excited and started betting bigger amounts to win more then it dropped to $8 then managed to get to $48 again and it went to Zero as I continued to gamble. That moment was very happy but when the balance was over I was regretting. Gambling is basically like that

I will only gamble for those two things which are for the sake of earning some money from it and as well as for the sake of fun. Any man out there will tell you that he's interested in the money because for us that's our end goal. So, if you ask me a billion times, I will tell you I am much interested in the cash. However, the fun is always necessary. Gambling was purposely meant for fun sake and that's what should motivate you after the money.

If at all you want to play gamble it is better to just play with amount you can afford to lose because you already have feelings that if your money lose in gambling you won't feel happy,  for this reason their is no need why you should play with a bigger amount. The reason of playing gamble could be not to make quick money from it but just to have fun and the fun comes in if we luckily win the game at the end. If we should be honest with ourselves no matter the reason gambling is being played either for fun or to make money quick from it, nobody feels happy when money is lose in gambling, and since gambling can be predicted it will be better if we should always play with the amount that we can afford to lose no matter what is the reason for gambling.

Everyone gambles for money, that will always be a common reason for all of us. The fact that we take some risk in putting our hard-earned money into betting that have no guarantees to win, that alone proves that we gamble to make more money, even if we end up losing them all in the end.

In all honesty, I am gambling with the aim to hit the jackpot one day and become instantly rich. Even if I know that’s rare to happen, but I’m still trying my luck hoping to make it. Even if it means gambling more will create more reasons to lose a lot more and become more greedy to make bigger profits one day.

Perhaps it is just that you are bored? If its not for the money and you don't quite have a target and it is to no end then perhaps if you got some new hobbies you would find yourself doing something else other than gambling? Just a thought.

Personally I haven't taken many steps towards any gambling goals, its really more of a spontaneous decision and whenever I feel lucky. I can't really put a huge want on what I want from gambling other than to WIN!

It is natural for someone to enter a gambling environment to definitely want to win and it is undeniable that for gamblers, besides winning, they also want to entertain themselves with simple and non-boring activities, namely by playing gambling that is easy to play and can choose the desired gambling game.

However, for me personally, playing gambling, apart from having fun entertaining myself at home, it is undeniable that I also want to win, even though luck cannot be predicted, but playing gambling can still control myself, namely by using a small amount of betting money, I do not chase victory, but if victory comes, I will immediately stop enjoying the results and if I lose, then at that time I will stop and gamble when the situation is supportive.

I think that players who gamble for fun, like me, have a serious problem called boredom, which gets worse as the years go by....

People who gamble with the goal of making money always have a challenge that never ends: Beating the system, which is always in favor of the house, calculating the odds very well, controlling the bankroll and managing the risks to make a profit. This is a "job" that never ends.

However, those who gamble just for fun eventually get bored of what they do, and they always need to find a new game, a different sport, or a championship that is still unknown to them to bet on. Otherwise, it is normal to ask ourselves: What am I still doing if this is no longer entertaining!?

[bettercrypto]

I gamble not to become an addict, I do it just for fun for no other reason. If there's a chance that I win, I'm always happy, but that doesn't drive me to get addicted to gambling like
other casino players do.

Yes, sometimes, I wish I could experience a big win in gambling, but I never play gambling even if I know that I have lost a lot in gambling, because when my gambling money is used up,
I really stop. Because I know the effect when I chase after my loss in gambling.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Well there are many perspectives of gamers in general, some think in one way or another that they are not interested in anything but winning, others are only interested in having fun, I think that in the casino and in games in general you can meet many social classes and positions, everyone plays and does what they can, so you can say that the vast majority are looking to win , to get something out of the game, others want to have fun because there is a chance that they have a lot of money and if they win or lose it does not matter to them, they just want to live the experience , but I think that the conglomerate is looking for fun + money and that is the most difficult thing to get.

Any game of chance has only two outcomes - winning and losing, so it is perfectly logical that any gambler seeks to win. But the desire to win can be quite different. Someone is ready to spend all their money to achieve their goal, and someone plays gambling for the sake of getting emotions and winning for him is a kind of reward for a successful game.

Earning and fun everyone chooses either of these two. I use gambling as fun but sometimes it takes me out of my control without realizing it. Today I gambled at first it was fun I was smoking and listening to music and playing blackjack on my laptop. I started with just $16 and from Win it's $67. Later I got more excited and started betting bigger amounts to win more then it dropped to $8 then managed to get to $48 again and it went to Zero as I continued to gamble. That moment was very happy but when the balance was over I was regretting. Gambling is basically like that

I will only gamble for those two things which are for the sake of earning some money from it and as well as for the sake of fun. Any man out there will tell you that he's interested in the money because for us that's our end goal. So, if you ask me a billion times, I will tell you I am much interested in the cash. However, the fun is always necessary. Gambling was purposely meant for fun sake and that's what should motivate you after the money.

Greed for money is a very bad thing and if gambling and greed for money are installed together in someone then he is bound to become addicted to gambling. Because someone is addicted to gambling only when he has the intention to achieve something big from gambling. Gamblers are able to fool them with site tactics. And then they don't get fun from gambling. The fun is only when they can win.  But on losing they get depressed and start investing again to recover the loss.  Thus they are financially ruined. so be careful from gambling sites and thete attractive offers

When you get into gambling, one of the things you have to overcome is being greedy because it becomes the nature of a person who engages in gambling, even if we say don't be greedy anymore, we can't just stop it, it's necessary to have an intense control over our mind and decisions. When a person becomes greedy, they may lose everything they has and it is possible that other things in their family may be affected. Gambling is tricky, so we should be better at manipulating the game so that it does not captivate us with the illusion of giving away a lot of money.

I think if someone spends almost all their money just to gamble to achieve the goals they want, I think it's really a shame. In this case, it's best if we want to channel our hobby of gambling, it's best to just have fun, don't expect to get a big win there, use just enough budget, if we expect too much, it will definitely bring disappointment or a very detrimental impact on the individual who gambles. Alone.

[Solosanz]

I only looking for fun, nothing else.

That's why when the first time I gamble till now, I had never face any problem in my life due to gambling.

My monthly money is always enough to pay my monthly needs, I always have times to improve myself, and my gambling session never interrupt my daily activity.

I think a lot people have too much expectation and dream, they need to lower it, so they can live peacefully and will not become gambling addicts.

If I may ask how much is your monthly and how much you wagered for that?

[Litzki1990]

I play gambling because I lack the outlet of emotions in real life. Emotions that I get during a gambling session is difficult to compare with something else. On the one hand it is disappointment, and jubilation, and regret and sincere joy, but it all happens so quickly that it is difficult to achieve such a state in other entertainment. As I understand most gamblers come to the casino for this very reason, because almost all gamblers are well aware that the chances of a big win is not as great as it may seem at first glance.

It is very difficult to control one's emotions in gambling, but if gambling is continued based entirely on emotions, then those emotions will not bring us anything good at some point. Gamblers go to casinos and gamble with the expectation that they will win big money at some point by gambling and after winning big money they will quit gambling altogether. Gambling with such expectations may result in some gamblers winning a few jackpot rounds, but most gamblers do not win the jackpot and continue to gamble more. I have heard so many stories of gamblers who won the jackpot but couldn't put that big money to good use and then gambled away that money and lost. That is, our needs are never limited, even after winning big money, we still need to win more money and that's why we don't see profit from gambling.
