What do you really want from gambling?

[CoinMin3r]

In general everybody gamble to win nice amount and no one want to lose. But even they lose, they continue to gamble again and again. Why? Because they enjoy even after loosing. Gambling becomes their passion. Plus if we win by chance then our joy/emotion will be next level.  So win or lose gambling is fun or we say a bit addiction too. I've seen someone who think he can't digest food until he goes gambling whether he wins or loose no matter coz he can afford that.

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

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

Let's have a healthy discussion.

Try to answer the best I can,

1. I think the foremost goal is to win some money, and yeah it's possible to achieved but you need a lot of luck in your side in order to win big.

2. Well I guess there's nothing. You just have to be positive that maybe one day, even with just a minimum bet, you can win the grand price. Just like recently my neighbor here who hit a Grand jackpot in a land base casino, worth almost $20k. He said that he didn't have the intention to gamble that time, but he don't know, it's like there's some mysterious thing that pulling him up to play and with that particular machine.

My primary aim is to have fun so even if I lose or am lucky to win money I have fun doing it I don't want to be a hypocrite and deny myself of a chance to make money of course if there's a chance to make money I'll go for it but I never made my main goal to make money and having fun as my secondary goal, having fun should go first.
It's a big disappointment if you prioritize making money if it does not meet your expectations.
I'll try and challenge myself to beat the house although I know it's not easy it will make you feel alive just trying to do it.

What do you really want from gambling? I thought no one would ever ask this question. Well now that you have asked, I just want to make money not lots of it while having some fun and getting entertained. I just want to be able to contribute to the discussion and literature a about gambling from a personal experience point of view. This is it. What I want from gambling. And because I have been able to articulate what I want out from gambling, I know when I am deviating from the goal unto something else or someone else's gambling goal. And this is what I see with most gamblers - a kind of group think. They don't know what they want. So they want what the gambling circle they belong to wants.

[JoyMarsha]

As some people would say "human beings want are in-searchable" which simply means they don't at times know what they are looking for or get fulfilled in the things they are after. They keep wanting more or pursuing more without putting a stop even though they are winning or losing. That's the way gambling is.

If you asked most of us the reason we are into gambling, our answer would be, it's for the money or the fun. Give the whole money in gambling or let them have the whole fun gambling, we will not feel fulfilled or complete with gambling activities. We will be engaging in it over and over again without exactly knowing what we want from gambling.

[michellee]

You playing gambling because you want it. If you don't want, you will not playing gambling and that so simple like that. You can try not to playing gambling and makes yourself busy with doing many things. You will see that your minds doesn't thinks to playing gambling because you already tired after doing many activities every day.

There is nothing enough if we talks about our wanting because as human, we wants more and more without thinks that is enough for us. We are greedy to wants other things that we don't have so we will try to gets it and if we playing gambling, we will still playing gambling to wins more money. You should knows your reason for playing gambling and you should realizes that you playing gambling because you want to have fun.

But you are okay if you don't playing gambling because gambling is just one of many activities that you can do to have fun. You don't bond with gambling so you can stay away for a while from gambling. You just wants to have fun from gambling and you can control yourself so you know when you must stops gambling.

know one what to lose, everyone need profit and that is the fact you bet to win even if you play for fun your mind will still be praying you should win even he cut you most feel it because you but money to it, and some people that bet for fun and putting their money to it whenever they have money, and they lose anytime they engage on it because they aren't used to it because their friend play and get money they will try to do too, and when they see they are winning or losing gradually when you did't stop he will become addicted and he will put you in problem if you don't have money and you won't be thinking about your self anymore. The primary focus will be on the game you'll play the next day. I bet when my clubs play so that I can be more confident that my team is strong and will win the game. I don't believe in betting every day because you can't win every day. Even if you lose, you should take a week off before betting again. Everyone bets to win, knowing that someone will lose Because I am sure you don't like losing either.

[Sim_card]

I am gambling to make profit even though, I know that the odds of making profit is very low. However, I try not to use an amount of money that will make me get emotional after a loss, so that I can still continue to gamble the next day to see if I will be lucky. Gambling is now part of me, and I enjoy the fun from it since I am a football lover and I bet on matches that I watch. Instead of me just sitting down to watch the matches, I do bet with small amount to enjoy the thrill in the game, and if I win more happiness and fun.

[Julien_Olynpic]

This is a big question. I even created a separate topic on this subject, where I wrote that many people understand the word “entertainment” differently. And here you are not alone in your attempts to understand your attraction to gambling. Indeed, many people are drawn to play, but they do not understand what the true reason for this craving is. Sometimes they think they want to get rich. But if you think realistically, do you really think you can get rich playing slot machines? These are games with completely random winnings, they are created so that a person experiences thrills or is overcome by strong emotions. Strong emotions allow you to escape from the ordinary gray and boring reality and make your life more rich and vibrant.
 But that's not the point. I think that a person wants to study in practice some implicit patterns in gambling that he does not know about or that few people write and talk about. Knowing such patterns can bring us pleasure.

[bluebit25]

I don't think there's any purpose because for me it's simply about playing the game without putting too much emphasis on the results, but in some ways this can still be seen as a search purpose look for fun.

Honestly, I see many problems in life as linked together with gambling games, so I live to the fullest with what I have, no matter what situation happens, I will choose the right way calmly face it. And each of us will have times when we have similar/opposing opinions, but on the journey to perfection, I believe we will not worry about any goal at all.

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

Profit and to spend my free time through gambling entertainment. I don’t have any interest anymore on movies and other things I’m doing before to be entertained ever since I only have few time to spend leisurely.

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

My main goal is to make my free time well spent. I achieved it through being excited on my gambling result but with moderation on the amount I’m willing to risk. I don’t have fixed profit target but any result will make me satisfied at the end of the game.

You seem to have clear perspective on why you gamble as compared to our OP who just does it for no reason in particular.
One thing I can tell about occasional gamblers is that, if they win , they often do so after a prediction on a particularly expected result from a match or something like the UCL finals, and other selected league final matches.
Others who just like to gamble probably enjoy trying their luck when they are very low on cash or just come into much cash.

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.

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?

whenever you think about this that means you're really losing more then winning, because as a gambler first thing that comes to your mind whenever you stake a game it's all about winning and on the process you lose. Maybe you tried again like several times same thing, that's when you'll start asking yourself what do you really want from gambling. Well it wasn't your fault you're trying to know what you want from gambling, but the mistakes is from the gambler. Why? Because he/she is all after the winning immediately but not knowing that it's also a game of luck, and their are different set of gamblers in the world. People who gamble for money, people who gambles for fun and people who are trying to add up with their monthly incomes. But all I know is that they are all gambling for money,  you can't tell me you're gambling for fun meanwhile you're using your money to stake a bet. So with my opinion as long you're gambling you're really into the money that's it.

True, I agree with that, because logically of course everyone does not like the name of losing money especially if it is in large amounts, while in gambling the possibility of risk will always be a very possible thing to happen, but it is a fact that gambling also provides a chance of winning to all gamblers and I believe that this chance of winning is what makes gamblers come to get involved where they expect to win in gambling to multiply the money they bring.

On the other hand in my opinion there is no enjoyment in a losing streak situation, meaning that one of the plausible reasons why they continue to gamble even though they always lose is because they are unable to accept the situation and conditions of losing so one of the reasons why they come back to gambling is to catch up on the losses they have previously experienced, and I would say that someone who comes only to seek enjoyment then it is unlikely that they will continue to gamble when they lose, it is quite the opposite that they will prefer to quit.

maybe I'm like you too. don't know the purpose of gambling that I dream of. but I don't care about all that. If I win I'm happy, if I lose I'm not burdened either.
I gamble to pay for what is fun for me. Besides my football betting habits, games like slots and card types are fun for me. once again I'm paying for the pleasure I can enjoy myself. Don't force me to look for other pleasures like playing games or going on trips.
I like to bet and I do.

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

I just want to have some fun during my gambling time and that's what I want from gambling of course the fun part will be totally ruined if we consistently lose in gambling and that's why I bet in sports events because I get happy with sports betting and at the same time I earn money sometimes from my good bets.

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

First step I have taken to achieve my fun goal from gambling was to shift my focus from casino based games to sports book as that's more suitable for me and at the same time I could earn some profits with it if my research turns out to be good.

I try to research the matches where I place my bets and when research process is completed then and only then I place my bets. Most of my bets have gone good and that makes me happy, and that makes me achieve my fun part.

Honestly, I don’t enjoy gambling when I ended up losing since the outcome always what matters to me but that doesn’t mean I can’t afford to lose money. I just can’t be happy when thinking about the lose game. I just consider it as learning experience to improve for my next game that’s why I easily overcome with it.

The hope of winning on the next game is what makes me keep coming back again on gambling. So far I’m winning more often than losing in overall of my game with this thinking so I consider this effective and right for my gambling style.

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?

I believe most of my journey in gambling has much to do with the seeking to have new experiences, you know, something to tell to friends and family in the future when years passed.
In the end, gambling in alike any other experience, and experiences are to create memories, that is what I am looking forwards, to create memories worth having and sharing with others. For example, if you stepped into a casino with friends and you all have some money to spare, would it really matter whether if you all lost some money of your bankroll even after having a good night with food, beverages and pretty girls around catering you? Winning money would it make it sweeter, do not misunderstand me, but at the end of the night you all would be happy, not matter what you end up within your pockets.
It is a little more difficult to get that experience from gambling online, but still can be worth a shoot, specially of within the comfort of one's home and if one is being in company with loved ones who also like slots, dices and you have one big screen on the living room to display the gambling session on.

In summary, I am seeking for experiences stories about how I lost or won money, so I can look back to them in the future and laugh with friends about it.

[wtsimis]

It's really hard to say why they gamble. But from my personal opinion I understand that there are usually two main objectives in gambling. Earn or have fun pretending to play.
What I really want from gambling is the thrill of the unknown, the experience of taking risks and the possibility of significant rewards. Decision making with every bet is about strategic thinking and a lot depends on luck.
However, there are some downsides to gambling. A gambler is addicted to gambling if he keeps winning at gambling games. If the gambler cannot win repeatedly then it discourages him.

The fact is that we are into Gambling for the profit. No om would keep putting in his money to something that has such a high risk of loss. Gambling can only be fun when we are able to balance our loss with win. Aside that, most Gamblers would not want to put in their effort or money into gambling. Every gambler knows what they want from gambling, either as a means of having fun or making profit. What ever you choose to use it for, mind you that concentrating on the profits you make from gambling would make you loss so much and even become addicted to it. That's why most times a lot of people today just want to believe that they gamble for fun. We all want the profit to enable us enjoy our gambling experience.
