What do you really want from gambling?

[Ever-young]

I'm not going to lie to everyone, I want to get the max win when I gamble, there's no other big and unconscious goal behind all of this, it's just that I want to make big money out of the small money that I've placed my bet into, no other way around it and if you're saying that you really want to gamble just for the entertainment then you're probably just lying to yourself and to everyone. I mean if you really are true to yourself, would you be able to give out your big wins if you're just playing for fun?

Of course, you are correct and I totally agree with you, that is just the fact, same with me and everyone ( I think so).

And even if we consider it as an entertainment, we could want to win more, so we keep on gambling and actually our motives might be to go and try luck if we can win or not but in the process and we didn't win, we rather consider it as an entertainment then, so that we won't be feeling sad and the amount we loss won't also affect us  but no matter how we take gamble or however way we gamble, let's gamble responsibly to avoid falling a victim.

1. What exactly do you want from gambling? Say it, even if it's something you don't think is possible to achieve.

Even though the reason is to get pleasure, gamblers still hope to make a profit, even though it's not many times the deposit amount, but at least our casino balance is greater than the deposit amount after being satisfied playing for a while.
But I'm not that concerned about getting big profits or making money from gambling because I know that I also have to spend a large amount and play quite a lot of time to be able to make big profits.
So I will only play when there is money to spend and usually when I receive payment from the signature campaign I will leave a few percent to play and when I don't make any money at all (and this is what I always experience) it doesn't matter to me and I can still accept that.

[satscraper]

Sure I don't want to lose my money.

I want a chance to get fortune at once.

I want pleasure when gambling and fun and frolic after it .

I want see my friends when gambling inside gambling shops as well as to listen to good jazz combo being there.

[Gozie51]

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

For gambling, our target is unrealistic because it is difficult to achieve and that is why we don't really know as we don't know when to win. If we know when to win then we are going to increase the staking power for jackpot and then reach a target.

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".

Hahaha, not money not fun then what else  . To lose is not fun but to win is fun like you already agree with me.

1. What exactly do you want from gambling? Say it, even if it's something you don't think is possible to achieve.

To increase the chance of doubling the money you are betting with not really to have enough of money to take care of yourself because that maybe unrealistic.

2. What steps have you take to see if you can achieve that which you want from gambling?

Reduced numbers of games to bet on, that is in football betting. To bet few games is better than multiple games because it increases winning chances.

Or

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

Let's have a healthy discussion.

The direction and reason for it is there and the goal is to profit but most gamblers can't just achieve that sense of gambling.  

[Uhwuchukwu53]

There are two things I won't like to misused in gambling the fun and the money even if the money is not guarantee as loss percentage is always higher I don't like to loss I always seek means of gaining, without fun it's more boring for me to play any game so this two aspects I want them to go hand in hand why the fun is there money two should flow together because it's more interesting to get something out of something.  To actually put away money on gambling it not enough as the fun can't sustain the speculation power of what to get financially even when it's not coming as expected is more of interest to me.

[lienfaye]

1. What exactly do you want from gambling? Say it, even if it's something you don't think is possible to achieve.

Well, I envy those who became rich for winning in lottery. But then, I realized that it is not for everyone and having such mindset when you gamble is not a good idea. It can lead to addiction if you keep trying to achieve such goal. So even even if I want to, that's quite impossible.

2. What steps have you take to see if you can achieve that which you want from gambling?

I already set aside that eagerness and opted to play to have some fun using a small amount. Gambling is not the way to become rich. If you have such goal then strive and find a resources to make it happen.

Since OP gave slots as an example, let me tell you what I want from playing slots. For the last 3-4 years, I have played this game called "Frozen Gems," which has a 10,000x max win. Despite countless spins, I have never won more than 700x (IIRC, definitely not 1,000x). Every time I play, I have the mentality of "this time must be the max win since I've played this game for years!" And here I am, still hoping and coping with this situation, lol.

So yeah, until I get my Frozen Gems max win, I'll still be playing this game.

[acroman08]

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

I am not sure if this is some kind of goal, but one of the main reasons I gamble is to have "me time", gambling for me can be entertaining especially if I am playing the gambling game that I want and enjoy. that being said, I still do want to win or at least have profit after my gambling sessions but it is not the main reason why I gamble.

[asrinur]

Of course, the desired goal in gambling is how to collect a lot of money with small capital, even though sometimes this desire is not achieved, the opposite happens, without us realizing it, due to gambling too often, we lose all our money. that's what I experienced. Therefore, learning from this bitter experience I have now stopped getting involved in gambling.

[Adbitco]

It's very hard to say that someone doesn't have a direction of gambling, like a focus to why they are gambling. Naturally we knows that we gambling to catch fun or gambling to earn more money anything other than this is not in gamble.
Those are the two main purpose why we gambling, gambling to earn more money and gambling for fun whomever that is not gambling for fun is either gambling to earn money, and no one will be pleased to keep losing money while they gambles and when they keep gambling and incurred series of lost they won't be pleased to keep gambling but when winning is there then it boost them to continuously keep gambling.

[Charles-Tim]

So yeah, until I get my Frozen Gems max win, I'll still be playing this game.

This is just the truth to be one of the main reasons most people are gambling. I have seen people that says they might have a lucky day. Success stories of people that won huge amount of money did encouraged them. This type of people will risk small amount of money and expecting to win huge amount of money, but they lose quite often than win. Although, they use the amount of money that they can afford to lose for it.

Let's have a healthy discussion.

Your experience is our experience, what you think, also crosses our minds. That's why I often say, explaining gambling is complicated and of course it will be different for each person. In fact, sometimes we often have difficulty defining it for ourselves. I think this is a normal part, especially if you are critical enough to question it yourself. So the question is, what and why do we gamble. Sometimes, we are in a confusing phase to answer this question. I think situations and conditions come into play when we think about things like this, especially when we experience quite a lot of defeats. Our psychology will be disturbed enough to find the answer, but believe me tomorrow or maybe a few hours later you will be back to normal and even try a gambling session.

OK, I'll take an example, namely myself. Gambling used to make me narrow minded, in other words I tried to get as much money as possible. Well, because the situation was exactly the opposite, I ended up losing a lot of money and several valuable items. As experience increases, as understanding increases, I change my concept of gambling. We often discuss it, the concept is for fun. If it's no longer fun, that means stop. we have nothing to chase, anyway we are looking for entertainment. if we are lucky, that means we win. if not, end it and do another activity. For me it's as simple as that, especially as I'm a sports lover, so I often involve betting.

I know losing money is painful but in gambling I think there's fun in losing money when you are gambling with the amount you can afford to lose. The reason we are not finding it funny is because we have much expectations and not ready to face the reality. Nobody will be happy to gamble and lose but some people take it to the extreme as if winning is the only option in gambling. No amount of money is worth losing because we work for it but certainly, there is a significant amount that we can definitely afford to lose without feeling the impact. Weccan use portion of this amount to gamble just to have fun regardless of whether we lose it or double it.

Perhaps, we are much on this category reading from others responds. I gamble for money but I know gambling can not make me rich and I lower my expectation on the aspect of making money from gambling. It's now safe to say I'm not gambling for money. I do gamble for fun but not every game gives the fun vibe but keep on gambling. Maybe, I'm just another gambler with no definite goal too

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

What people hope to achieve gambling actually varies and can be very different across all classes of gamblers and its fine its happening that way, some may intend to get financial freedom gambling while the others may hope to make money and have fun and for another they just want to make money, all this differences influences their approach and strategy as well and then you see them playing to achieve such. There ae some others who actually gamble with reasons based on their mood, this can mean they are goin to gamble for fun at some point and gamble to make money at some other point and all that gets to influence how they gamble at to points.

I happen to be amongst the last set of gamblers, i gamble at some point based on what i intend to achieve gambling at that point and at such i just want to have fun, when I'm gambling to make money of gambling i make sure i carefully make my picks but when gambling for fun i usually try out new strategy at that point and as well make sure I'm not emotionally attached to my games which in turn helps me not to be sad and emotional about losses when they happen

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?

To be honest, I'm not a fan of slot games because for me the game relies 100% on luck so I'm not too sure I can win more often in that game, I prefer sports betting, in fact only one knows the purpose of your gambling, if you don't have a gambling purpose This means that you are having fun with gambling, even though you may not feel pleasure or entertainment in it, you may just be confused about your goals. Basically, as long as you still control yourself, gambling is good.

I think just answering your question a little, maybe it can also help you have a broader mindset, gambling doesn't have to be about getting money and achieving success by beating the dealer, we all know that the dealer will always win and never lose. only we lose as users

1. There is no goal that I hope for from gambling even though I also think I can make money here, but that is not the main goal, I prefer to fill my free time on the weekends by gambling considering it as additional entertainment.

2. There are no steps that I have to take, the point is that I know that I will lose when gambling in casino games, especially in games that expect 100% luck like slot games, believe me the dealer will always be the winner forever, because they can't defeated.

[Frankolala]

OP, I am in the same shoes with you, because I know that gambling cannot give me the amount of money I want which I know. I don't also like losing when gambling because I hate it when I lose. But I still have to gamble in the sense that I love gambling to try my luck and also enjoy the fun.

I started gambling because my friends are gambling and that was not good because we were eonly after making money with it, which made most of us addict. Being free from addiction made me to decide never to think I can win big from gambling which was why I started gambling with caution and funds that are not useful to me. I will say I gamble because I love the act of staking.

[junder]

I'm not going to lie to everyone, I want to get the max win when I gamble, there's no other big and unconscious goal behind all of this, it's just that I want to make big money out of the small money that I've placed my bet into, no other way around it and if you're saying that you really want to gamble just for the entertainment then you're probably just lying to yourself and to everyone. I mean if you really are true to yourself, would you be able to give out your big wins if you're just playing for fun?

Yes, that's true, I think it's hypocritical if there are people who don't want to get maximum wins by gambling because maximum wins are what all gamblers are aiming for, including me, who also wants to get maximum wins. Even though I've had big wins, if it's not the maximum win, my curiosity is not yet complete, only I can still control myself well so that I don't experience big losses and fatal negative impacts from gambling. but indeed there are some people who say the reason is for entertainment with the gambling they do, but even though the reason is like that it doesn't mean they don't want to win of course they also definitely want to win because that is the main thing that many people are looking for by doing it. gambling.

there is nothing that can be hidden, maybe with those who gamble really for fun it only applies to people who really have unlimited money so they don't hesitate to lose anything even with the maximum betting amount but they do this because they want to get something in return namely victory.

[reagansimms]

Generally what is often found around where I live, their motivation is to gamble for money. However, some of them also just want to have fun, they are calmer because they are able to control their emotions because they don't really care about any results. Gambling for money and gambling just for fun will have different effects, addiction is more easily contracted in gamblers for money.

Gambling without direction or purpose is just to fill your free time or not be too uncomfortable with continuous losses because this type of gambler is a gambler who just wants to have fun. I often gamble for fun, even though I feel a little annoyed at losing, but there is no motivation in me to chase after those losses. The money I use to gamble is ready to be spent, after that I will stop and come back again when I get money that is ready to be spent.

[pinggoki]

OP, I am in the same shoes with you, because I know that gambling cannot give me the amount of money I want which I know. I don't also like losing when gambling because I hate it when I lose. But I still have to gamble in the sense that I love gambling to try my luck and also enjoy the fun.

Being free from addiction made me to decide never to think I can win big from gambling which was why I started gambling with caution and funds that are not useful to me. I will say I gamble because I love the act of staking.

That's because you shouldn't be looking at gambling that way, you never should consider that you will make big money with gambling, put it in your mindset that you're gambling only for fun no matter how much you unconsciously want to make money, it should be in your priority that you have fun, never consider gambling as a legitimate way for you to make money, it would lead you to the path of addiction and you don't really want to be at that path because it's a dark one and a sad path to take. Good for you to be free of that addiction, I assume that it's a difficult time for you to get rid of it but you really did it, I guess it's a good thing that you were able to change for the better.

1. What exactly do you want from gambling? Say it, even if it's something you don't think is possible to achieve.

Before at earliest part of my participation on any gambling activities I really aim to get a profit on each games I played. But now since I been matured enough to determine that getting that target is not always possible that's why same as other people do I only gamble for fun using the amount what I can afford to lose.

2. What steps have you take to see if you can achieve that which you want from gambling?

I try to be consistent on each gambling activities I do to see the possible win/lose record I get and after that I realize that engaging to much on gambling is not really good since if we try to be more consistent the more higher chance that we lose. Also luck always play a lot of factor on gambling that's why its so rare for me to use huge amount of money for gambling since I feel like I don't get much win on that. Only the fun factor satisfy me when playing.
