What do you really want from gambling?

[Mia Chloe]

My main goal from gambling games is to be a part of the casino and earn from the players not waste money on their games. Its like the sly fox who works in the back. This can be in the form on investing and affiliate marketing, both of which I have tried in the past and the first one has been very successful for myself without much effort from my side.

Hence my goal from gambling is pretty much complete but it will run for long as I can sustain or the casino can sustain and I will also try to increase my portfolio of investments on other casinos in the future.

The fact is weather directly or indirectly everyone wants to win in gambling activities because that is part of the goal in the first place. Although a lot of gamblers arguably have other reasons for Gambling like keeping busy during idle times, having fun or even reducing stress, winning is also a very important part of gambling in the first place as it is the normal human nature to crave wining as nobody likes to lose in the first place.
If you even come to think of it, a gambler who obviously isn't a gambling addict will quit gambling if he is loosing more often than he is making wins.

Absolutely correct, I don't think anyone would actually go to a casino with the mindset of going to loss his or her funds, even if their intentions was to gamble for fun, they would actually get more of the fun when they are on the winning side. The probability of winning the casino in terms of profit and loss is quite small and that is why even small wins are appreciated by bettors because it create an atmosphere where you forget about the loses. And this is the more reason why I have doubts that a gambler would actually play casino games for fun, if not for the purpose of making extra mone,  why would a someone gamble against a program for fun when the odds of winning is obviously against them?

Well, the answers to this question will be different from a person to another, because we have many types of gamblers and everyone is taking different ideas towards gambling, unfortunately most of them are wrong, since they make you lose money, not any money but your savings or a sum of money that you want. There's no fun in losing money that is important to you
Although you are confused about what you are really doing when you gamble, then I request you to stop gambling. If you are not having fun responsibily when you gamble then that's not a healthy way for gambling.

Personally, I gamble to have fun with the money I'm ready to lose, so whenever I get a small win, I enjoy it.

Gambling is a combination of fun, mostly fun and in same case to earn profit, the fun in gambling is when the user has to get both loss and profit meanwhile if the loss comes often then it is advised that the gambler give in some space and try back later or a few would decide to quit. Most times in my bet, within me I know that my selection has a very difficult chances to enter but yet I still have them in my pick because I believe that is the fun fact about gambling and I wouldn't mind losing the staked amount considering I am not chasing profits just alone what I felt within to do.

Probably, losing is nobody's option when it comes to gambling and any other real life activity. Many a times, I get to focus on hitting a specific amount of money before setting out on a new gambling section. But, it hardly shows up, as I tend not to get it easily. The goal actually differs at my end. It's just a mood thing, sometimes I gamble without caution depending if I'm weak and exhausted, but feels like to wager some funds. But, when energized my goal switches to staying careful and focusing on the most important strategy of all; responsible gambling. Yes, a gambler who has never won a dime will most definitely stop or quit gambling. But, if he's able to win few amount of money he'd expect profits even when he's losing.

Not everyone can achieve what we want from gambling but still we keep trying because we all want to get big rewards from gambling. Winning or losing in gambling depends entirely on luck. If one keeps trying then he can win from gambling. And those who don't try can't get anything through gambling. As long as a gambler persists in gambling, he will have the opportunity to reap great rewards from gambling. If a gambler conducts gambling without becoming addicted, he will eventually get his expected return from gambling. I don't expect much from gambling. I gamble because it gives me pleasure. That is what I think of as the center of entertainment.

I just smiled at your post because you just nailed it. If you look at scam section and see the amount people complain about some casino been suspended, you will be shocked with how much they really put in gambling and I will be like "do people actually gamble with this amount, no way this is about fun but an avenue to make more money", whether we like it or not majority of people makes money frkm gambling to survive and only few make fun from it, if I have that way to make some Bitcoin, I will pick that before the fun.

Everyone has their priorities in life and gambling is just one but with what I have seen around here, I think we know what we want actually, go through the Announcement thread of casinos in this forum, most gamblers play to get more Bitcoin in return, only few bets to get USDT, I guess we can just call that Bitcoin fun.

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 even know what you wanna achieve achieve from gambling just yet? If you're asking yourself this question at the time, then you clearly got enticed to gamble without a purpose.

The fact is weather directly or indirectly everyone wants to win in gambling activities because that is part of the goal in the first place.

Exactly! He hasn't realized just yet that everything he said landed on an even ground - which is making money out of it. What's the fantasy behind it? Everything revolves around the fact that you gotta earn from it in the most slickest, possible ways.

Edit: What makes it unpromising is the uncertainty on whether or not a game would come forth. So why would anyone fund their accounts to wager for nothing sake?

I like your idea that gambling is all about luck more than anything else. What this means is that one can only win when luck strikes at the right time, and I would also slightly disagree with your idea of a gambler having to keep trying to continue his involvement in gambling in order to get what he's hoping for. I understand that casinos provide opportunities for everyone, but try to think that you will never know when you will be able to realize something you hope for because luck is something that can never be controlled.

There is no certainty and no guarantee in gambling regardless of whether you are an addict or not, meaning that even if for example you are a responsible gambler who can control your gambling activities well then it does not mean that someday you will be able to realize something you hope for such as a big win. But yes I agree with the last point you said above that you gamble just for fun or entertainment without putting excessive expectations on winning, keep it up.

But don't let us try to force ourselves to continue gambling, especially when we lose, when that happens, what we have to do is stop. As you said, gambling completely depends on luck and winning is true, because even though there are some gambling games that require strategy, skill and knowledge, this does not guarantee that you will definitely win, because even though gambling requires some skill, luck still plays a role. I'm not sure that by trying we can win, what do you mean by trying?
Gambling is indeed a means of entertainment, with those of you who gamble because gambling gives you pleasure, where is the pleasure if not from winning?
Maybe the sensation we get when we gamble is where the fun lies, because I sometimes feel confused about those who gamble for fun, unless they are ready to lose money and fully understand what gambling is like. But even those who gamble for fun doesn't mean they don't want to win.

There is no fun if you just gamble for money but this is the undeniable fact that, if not all, the majority are thinking of growing their money from this. That is why even poor people, despite their situation and for the sake of their gambling habits still have the guts to spare money for it.

The common reason why people gamble is for money but unfortunately, we all not given such an opportunity to become lucky and win. While only a few gamblers are winning, the majority are losing badly. As a gambler, we should accept the fact that gambling is not a place to rely on when it comes to earning because no matter what we do, it can never change the reality.

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

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

Let's have a healthy discussion.

You just opened a can of worms man lol.

But in reality, initially what I wanted from gambling was fun, even when I was getting addicted, which is really weird. Hear me out, when I was introduced to gambling, it was with a group of friends who wanted to find something to do when we were stuck inside our respective houses, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Eventually everyone had their own affairs to work upon, and I was left alone to gamble, and while yes, I gamble to gain the money that I lost all those times, I also chased the high that I experienced and long for back when I was still gambling with friends, which is just something that is pretty much nonexistent already.

So this is really weird, I am a gambler who always advocates for other people to gamble for fun instead of money, but essentially, I got addicted to gambling (and fortunately was able to snap out of it) because I chase the fun.

[justdimin]

Initially when I started to gamble a bit, it was to get lucky and hopefully win big that'll change my fortune, but then I realized that gambling wasn't a get rich quick scheme. Now I just gamble for the thrill of it, take a little risk with the amount that I can afford to loose, and try not to worry much if I lose a bet, and if it happens that I win, I'll be more thrilled and that is it. I've learned not to take gambling too seriously a ;)s a none professional gambler, I just engage in it as a pass time to have fun, not too serious about winnings because it doesn't happen often.

I can literally relate , at first when I started it , it was all about hitting a jackpot that can change my life . But at the end as time goes I notice with that mindset I was only losing my money more . And wasn't gambling responsibly at all which  makes things worse , but now after my experience, I've learned through the hard way , that gambling ain't a get rich quick scheme. So now I hardly do it and am doing I don't usually put high expectation like I use to , and now  I can stay months without doing it , I was lucky not get addicted to it due to the way started back then .

I am on the exact opposite of the scale, I started with such small amounts that it meant absolutely nothing. Back when I started gambling, 1 satoshi was allowed in the first casinos, I started my first crypto gambling literally at satoshidice when it was on-chain gambling itself, which was definitely a rare thing even then, rarer even still. So, when you gamble with just 1 satoshi at primedice or just-dice that was allowed and my idea was that if I do that for long enough time, I could get lucky. Meaning, I could gamble a million times with it, and I would be in profit, or at the very worst case, I wouldn't be in a big loss.

Eventually I realized that was just boring with nearly no result, you win nothing and lose nothing, nothing important at least. So, I gambled a bit more, not crazy jackpot chasing levels, just a bit more.

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.

If you're right, well I've always seen people who go to the casino and play Whose goal is not to have fun but to win money, they want to win money and that's it, they don't care how , they just want to Multiply their money, and of course that has negative consequences, there are a couple of gentlemen that I always go to and Advise , whenever I go they are there, what I sense is that they must be people who have a lot of money and they don't know how to spend it, because the truth is that when I go to a physical casino, I play and then I leave, I don't stay there, if I stay it's to keep playing, but I don't always do it like that it's to see if I can win, have a different time and if I lose then I Leave it there.

Majority of gamblers believes that gbling is a means to make profit. Most people that got I to gamble was with this mindset a d that is why you see that everyday new gamblers are coming on board. Those people that turns the casino to their houses will end up losi g everything that they have to the casino because the more you gamble, is the more chances of running at loss.

Initially, I was gambling for profit but after some time when I realized that it is impossible to make profit from gambling, I stopped and started gambling for fun with very little amount that will not affect me even if I lose the bet. I am happy now that I can control my emotions, and I enjoy gambling.

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

Are you sure that you have no sense of goal at all when you are doing gambling? So what comes to your mind when you are gambling? Just play without any feeling of being challenged, happy when you win, sad when you lose your bet? Frankly, this is the first time I hear someone do gambling with no sense of goal/direction so that's why I'm confused why did you do it, at least what is reason of gambling?

Yes, there should be at least a goal, whether it's earning money or having fun because these two are the only things one can think of before they get into gambling. A gambler will either think of getting profits from gambling or want to have a good time with the allocated funds, either way, they will have a goal to achieve from it.

I know that sometimes some people might get into gambling for other reasons as well such as to get rid of depression or loneliness where a person who feels lonely most of the times or stressed out, they might think of gambling for a bit to maybe divert their thoughts from what's teasing them towards something that might bring a smile on their face for once. However, this is very rare, and the reasons I've mentioned above are more common.

[hahay]

Lately I'm just looking for fun, even though basically I also hope to win but still, I don't have the ambition to always win. Because after all, I also place bets on sportsbooks and as such, I just try to find fun by betting and watching matches even though more often than not I just look for what the end result will be like. But that way, I feel happy and not stressed or depressed when I lose, even though I also bet with money that I am not fully prepared to lose. But at least, if I do it for fun because it involves one of the matches or teams competing, then that is enough to make me happy, especially when my bet wins then of course it really is like a very impressive experiment in betting.

[OgNasty]

Me personally, I want exciting sounds and flashy lights that give me a warm fuzzy feeling inside to kill a few minutes here or there with some entertainment. Sure, good odds and the possibility of winning money are nice motivators as well, but ultimately I just want to enjoy myself without too much commitment.

[Slow death]

In my case, my goal is to have fun and if I win some money then I will be very happy with that, when I analyze a football game, I am doing it because I enjoy it and not because I want to make money, I like to test it until to what extent can I get the results of the games right, even when I don't have money to bet, yet when I watch the games I analyze them to see if I can get it right, and when I make a mistake I don't get sad, I don't get disappointed, on the contrary I get more motivated to improve in my analyses, so this is betting for pleasure and that's why I consider myself a person who is into sports betting to have fun and not because I believe I'm going to make money, I don't believe in this idea that I could make money consistently with sports betting

Well I get your point, is like one Is stock in a time loop of win nothing and lose nothing. And it may definitely endup being boring but despite that one still have to be careful with the amount of money he or she should use Inorder to make the gambling more exciting
 So that by any chances the individual endup losing that money he will feel bad and he can easily moveon with the losses . Than using a certain huge amount of money that should be use to take care if expenses to. Gamble and endup losing he or she may not any other options but to chase over such loss in order to get that they have loss. So as long you are using what you can afford, then Is all good.
