What do you really want from gambling?

[panjul07]

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

Do we really need to answer it while it is clear that most people (including me) is gambling to make money by risking our money?
If there are gamblers who claim themselves as doing gamble for fun only, they are lying to themselves.

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

Nothing, although my main goal in gambling is to make money, I have to specific steps to do it because I know that gambling is all about luck.
What I do is nothing except keep staying on my fund and time limit anytime I start my gambling session.

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

So what's the point of gambling if you have no sense of goal? Even for entertainment?
This makes me wonder, what do you feel when you are playing, winning and/or losing? Nothing?

[Jody.Drummer]

In fact, in general there are two things that gamblers want, first there are some gamblers who are really focused on wanting to win with the intention and purpose of multiplying the money they bring, and there are a small number of others who come with the intention and purpose of just looking for entertainment when they are having boring free time. Those are the two goals that gamblers usually bring with them, but let's think rationally using common sense about which one is more advisable and better to make as a goal in gambling.

First as we know that gambling is an activity that does not have any certainty and guarantees regarding what will happen at the end of the session between winning or losing, and another fact is that gambling is a business for casinos where a business certainly has the aim of making a profit, and for the problem of winning usually the victory will only happen by chance when luck comes at the right time, meaning that how can you put your intentions and goals of earning in a place that will only be able to give you victory when luck comes? While luck is something that will not be able to come according to our wishes, in addition when luck does not come then it means you lose, and that's why gambling really doesn't deserve to be made as a place to earn, because there is absolutely no element of consistency in terms of producing victory because it will only come by chance.

It's obvious that majority of persons who play gamble are hoping they could double or make extra cash from gambling while few gamble because they want to have fun with either their friends, family,team.... However most persons take their decisions too far in making extra money from gambling and that actually leads to gambling addiction or irresponsible gamble attitude which lead to getting broke and losing valuable life property by selling them to gamble. Actually there are times were I gamble for fun with my peers, I could remember when we were still kids how we gamble on football matches we play to make the game more interesting even without us know it's real gambling that is being practiced back then.

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.

[ethereumhunter]

I really just play gambling for fun, and if I win every now and then, of course I'm thankful because the casino platform allowed me to win whether it was luck or not. The only important thing for me is that I enjoyed it.

Although sometimes it also crosses my mind that it is the luck of the one who got the jackpot in gambling, I never felt envious. Of course, gambling is unpredictable. And since we don't what will happen when we play, its better for us to have some fun on it, right?

That's is our reason to playing gambling so we must always remember that we comes to casino because we wants to playing some gambling games with some money we can afford to lose. We will not trying to use more money to keeps playing gambling because when we can gets the fun from gambling, that will be the time for us to stops our gambling activity. We will trying to holds ourselves not too long to playing gambling because we knows the risks behind that and we don't wants to lose much money.

We don't have to thinks about hit the jackpot like other people because that will needs luck while we don't knows when our luck will comes. So instead trying to playing gambling too long because expecting our luck will comes in the next rounds, we must always limits our gambling activity to prevents the lose. It's better we have fun by playing some gambling games and stops it immediately before we lose more money.

It is directly obvious that whosoever that is into gambling it is not there for only entertainment but it is there to make majority of persons who is into gambling today when they lose in gambling they became bittered but when they win in gambling the Jubilate a lot so the Calling of the jubilation comes as result of winning in gambling why immediately they lose in gambling they are facial expression changes so that is to let you know so that nobody will deceive you that gambling is not meant for only entertainment but rather as an opportunity for we to you don't make money, so whenever I had information of such kind I don't like to welcome me because we all know that the gambling is risk and the every person purpose to gamble is the double it's richness or eliminate itself from poverty.

That is the best way to stay long in gambling without be  addicted to gambling, because if you gamble for entertainment purposes and you win big money, you will surely celebrate and remain in gambling and if you don't win, you will not panic because you take the gambling for entertainment.

What people need to understand about gambling, is to gamble for fun even though they are expecting money from the gambling but don't let it be a place where you want to win billions to start a business.

No family want to welcome someone that is addicted to gambling in their family, because they know that they don't use to respect such gamblers that take gambling as an investment.

[MAAManda]

TBH, I also have the same question as you to myself, it happened when I got a win from max win at Gates of Olympus and in the same hour I also lost all my winnings. So, what exactly is my goal?

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

Chronologically, what I wanted was entertainment, when my game became a game where there were lots of losses, I changed my orientation to seeking profit. And when another max wins came, I didn't immediately withdraw it and instead continued my game. So, what's the conclusion? It's easy for me now, it turns out I need entertainment from playing slots and also need profits from there.

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

There's a way in, but no way out, IYKWIM.

Like others to win and get a profit and also get entertained, I don't aim to get a large amount of profit every time I play my goal only just to win more than my deposited amount. Sometimes, when we are getting more greedy its the cause why we lose most of our money, gambling goal is to give satisfaction and entertainment to the people sometimes people get over committed to gambling reason why they take it serious every game they played so they aim to win all the game cause of stress if they didn't achieve this.

Sure this is a good gambling strategy that won't lead to addiction or even greed. Picking 2 odds alone to double your money is also a good strategy but most person tend to abuse this strategy by gambling with extremely large amount so that their wins could be valuable. I admit that at some point in my gambling journey I might have acted a bit greedy with my stake to get huge return but eventually it came out a lost bet, but that's not the whole point, the most important thing is that I learnt from my mistake and took responsibility that the fault was from my inability to follow rules which I have set, and since then mistakes like that haven't been repeated.

[Zoomic]

Winning makes me feel good and that's what matters whenever I gamble too. I see gambling like every other game where players either win or lose, with cash as a reward for winning. No one wishes to lose in gambling, including those who claim they are only gambling for fun. I know there are lots of people too who are gambling  for gambling sakes and not because they really need the money. This explains why they always squander the money after every win. Just like I said earlier, winning tastes sweet and many of us just want to enjoy that sweetness while still having fun.

One interesting thing about gambling is that, no matter the reason for gambling, addiction will always set in if the gambler in question gets carried away with gambling. Yea, you are not safe even if you claim you aren't interested in the money, people get addicted to fun activities too. Be alert while gambling and your safety is sure.

[Yatsan]

Personally I'm more into entertainment but I won't be hiding the idea that there are times I am hoping for a huge win, like who doesn't? It is a normal expectation to be honest given that you are putting your money on the line and embracing the risk. What's bad is to rely that much on this activity and to bet chances way too much. There are people who made good fortune in gambling but as we all know, we have different fate to walk through. They might be lucky and there's a possibility ofcourse for us to have it as well but never be too eager and push things too much.

Bigger the expectations, bigger the drawbacks if things won't be met. Manage the risk and your assumptions on how things really work in gambling. Practice being contented with small amount of profit 'coz if big profit is for you, then it'll come eventually.

That's right, making extra money from gambling is more of an addiction that they will find it difficult to get out of once they are caught in the cycle of gambling addiction. Also, only a few people can gamble for entertainment purposes only because gambling involves profit, of course, this makes many people think that they can make extra money by gambling, but it only puts them in even bigger problems because it will make them addicted to gambling.

With them already trapped into addiction, of course there will be bad effects that can occur such as actions that are at great risk involving borrowing money or selling property owned even worse stealing which can harm others. Actually gambling cannot be the hope of people to be able to make money with certainty, those who want to multiply their money in gambling will not be able to get results in accordance with their own expectations, moreover, the victory in gambling depends on luck.

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.

Yeah, I can honestly related for this is how I also play for most of the time, but this is only for when you are really not concerned; like you are just playing to get away from boredom.

But on the other hand, there are also times when you feel anxious for the win, most especially if you are someone who really have never experienced what winning up to $5000+ from gambling feels like, and somehow, you encounter one or two persons who seem to have won this amount or even more effortlessly, it makes you want to ask yourself why you aren't winning like them, or is there something you are doing wrong? Or maybe you are not serious like them and so on.

Gambling should be for fun quite alright, but like I've said before and will always say, there is no fun in losing money, the fun in gambling is that you are winning, it makes one happy and installs the zeal to keep playing.

In fact, I’m very glad that at least someone is thinking about this, because many players can play for the sake of playing without understanding why (just like robots), or for the sake of money that they don’t need, but they didn’t understand this and maybe will never understand.

1. I want to gain financial independence from gambling, but at the same time I understand that this is impossible. It turns out that I am in conflict with myself and this scares me.

2. I study how gambling works, communication on our forum also helps me, because many people look at gambling from different angles and opinions. I have quite a lot of experience, but I find something new for myself. I’ll probably put my puzzle together soon and start playing less and only for fun, not for money.

[madnessteat]

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.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

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?

Let's have a healthy discussion.

Bro, don't forget that times before now, you have once argued in other topics that gamblers are gambling not because of fun but rather to make money. Like you will always say, "no fun in losing money," that's right, but what is notable in losing money in gambling is how often you gamble and how much you are gambling with. 

If, for example, you gamble three times a week and only spend $10 each week, in 48 weeks (one year), you will spend $480. If you are earning $380 every month, that is $4,560 per annum, minus your total money that was gambled off, and you will notice that it is not really having a huge impact. 

But there are people who are losing more than that per year while they are not even earning up to that amount per year. These are people who really gamble for more than just fun, but rather as a means to earn more money. 


Why did I get into gambling in the first place? That was because I saw my people making money with it, and I thought it was a means to earn money, so my friend started to put me through. I kept gambling because I wanted to get lucky and make a little money most of the time. I had little or huge wins that were helpful to me back then, but if you ask me why I am still gambling today, I will tell you it's because I want to have fun (winning is not the top priority) .

I have said it before that I have friends who are deeply into gambling, and sometimes they will book a game and send the code to me, asking me to make sure I stake a huge amount because the game will definitely go as predicted, but I don't really get moved by it again. I gamble when I want, when I feel like it, or maybe I just want to while away time or quicken my mind.

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

Yes, pretty much this. I gamble because it boosts my adrenaline level and makes watching a match more exciting. So, when I bet on a sports event and I start watching it I feel that sensation like there's something on the line for me. It makes me more of an active participant. It's similar when I play poker. Playing without money isn't fun because you can fold whenever without any consequences, but when you know there's a blind and every time you fold early you also lose money, it makes the game more interesting. Suddenly people start to really give a shit and care for every hand.

[teamsherry]

Wow that question really brings the chills, well mate I Don really know why or gamble or have any reason to do it, I can't really say is cause I want more money cause the perfect solution for that would be to get an income raise or some side hustle and investment is an even better option than gambling, but there is this fun is staking and pride we all have in been right that we want to place or money on it, it's just taking risk and its fun, although i dont still believe anyone gambles for fun

[Z_MBFM]

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.

If you can gamble just for fun, of course that would be very good and maybe most gamblers can't do this, so they will continue gambling until the money they have runs out and then realize it, I myself only gamble when I'm with friends. who is gambling and I only play poker games and even that won't last long because I don't understand the game well and when the funds I use run out then I will no longer take other funds to continue gambling and I continue to limit myself so that I don't get addicted to gambling.

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

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.
