I’m rich… because gambling is my entertainment.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Gambling and getting addiction to gambling in an early stage does not immediately destroys you, it is a process which takes times and gradually degrades the integrity of the person up to the point they lose control over their own will and can do nothing but continue to gambler for the sake of making some someone back from what was already lost.
Honestly, when someone see gambling as a wait to generate income rarely there is a happy ending to make reference to.

Agree. Gambling addiction destroys us slowly. We gradually become addicted to it and cannot get out of it. The most important thing is that we lose control over ourselves. We cannot take the right decisions. We delay taking the right decisions and because of this we gradually fall behind in all our work. Also, many gamblers gradually become addicted to drugs. Many get involved in theft and robbery to manage money.
We have to be aware of gambling addiction, as you said it is a silent destroyer. at beginning it will give you a feeling like relief from stress by getting huge money within a second. if you consider gambling as the only source of income, you will fall and it will not take us long to go bankrupt. Gambling should only ever be entertainment, nothing more.

They say gambling is just entertainment, and honestly, we can’t deny it, when you think about it, we’re literally paying to be entertained. And the stats don’t lie: most gamblers end up losing in the end.

So if gambling is an expensive form of fun, that must make us rich people, right?
‘Cause like they say, when you gamble, you’re just throwing money away. And fellas, that’s what rich folks do, they throw money around like it’s nothing. 

So I'm proud to say, I’m living the rich life, one bet at a time...

Whether you are living a rich life because of you a gambler or not, the major thing is to make profits from gambling. Many of the rich people that are gambling are actually making profits compared to an average man that will be using small bankroll to gamble so they can make like. 1000x with a tiny capital. This is mostly impossible if we really wants to make money from betting. There are people that are not benefiting from gambling and they are still puting efforts to make sure that they earn from betting. Not everyone will get lucky as a gambler which is a good reason why we have to take gambling less seriously because it could make us lose more money than expected.

There are forms of gambling and betting that’s not that expensive so I wouldn’t say I am very rich just because I am gambling. I wish though haha. But I guess it means that if I could pay extra to gamble then I am not poor either.

So I'm proud to say, I’m living the rich life, one bet at a time...

Be careful. You might also start living the poor life one bet at a time. We need to keep spending appropriately to what we can actually afford.

lol 😂 this quite funny though yeah gambling is for fun, but in this kind of fun there’s chances of getting rich through it only if you are lucky enough to hit the jackpot, but many hardly do due to lack of proper planning like knowing when to bet , or when to call it a day .

While some folks are lucky when it comes to hitting big wins , sometimes this usually happens after experiencing countless losses but some time the winnings cover it all .

For someone like myself whose main aim is to have fun in gambling I have always stuck to the minimum bet allowed for a game; so I wouldn’t fit into those categories who call gambling an expensive form of entertainment since I have always tried minimizing the amount I put into gambling.

I am well aware that there are people who usually put in thousands of dollars on a weekly basis but their aim isn’t for fun or entertainment but rather to make money via gambling - I don’t fit it to that “rich because I’m gambling” group, and the same goes for majority of forum members here.

Well, this is a view that I didn't imagine!
As you describe it, we are all rich, but we all know that this isn't the truth. Even if we gamble to entertain ourselves, we all want to win, and to win big. So, until we become rich, we are poor; thus, we throw as much as we can to become rich. However, the question is: If you get a huge jackpot and become a millionaire, will you continue to gamble, or by being rich end this entertainment for you?

[xSkylarx]

However, the question is: If you get a huge jackpot and become a millionaire, will you continue to gamble, or by being rich end this entertainment for you?

Most gamblers will still continue gambling and could tend to bet more amounts. I've seen some gamblers before where they won the jackpot in a lottery, instead of using the prize wisely like putting on some investments, they used a huge portion of it as a capital in gambling. They think that their luck will continue and betting with larger amounts will bring them more profit.

They go back to their old way of life in the end since they let greed control them during their lucky days.

Agreed, most people not only don't stop but also tend to bet more because they believe they can repeat it and make more money. That is also why I find it hard to believe when someone says they gamble just for fun and don't see it as a place to make money or get rich. If someone truly considers gambling just for fun, after winning, they will not increase their bet in the hope of winning bigger.

Gambling is not just a pastime to kill time and gamblers do not just go there for entertainment, that is why it is never classified along with other forms of entertainment and recognized as a healthy game.

[mamesso]

There is no denying that gambling is the most enjoyable activity, that is why most people are willing to spend their money just to have fun in a casino even though they know that the chances of winning are smaller than losing. Those who consider gambling as entertainment will never feel like they have lost money when they lose, instead they leave the casino with a very pleasant feeling because they have just bought entertainment for themselves after being tired from work or getting rid of all the burdens on their minds.

You are right, that's how gambling works. When you want to play a video game, you look for it on Steam, buy it and play. In gambling, you don't need to make such a purchase, it's like pay-per-play as you go.

It's not expensive. You have the possibility to start playing with as low as 0.00000001 BTC, which isn't even 1 cent and if we consider that on crypto casinos games mostly have 99% RTP, you can have fun 24 hour for 1 dollar if you wish.
Gambling shouldn't be compared to throwing away money because you pay for the entertainment and in our stressful life, entertainment isn't waste of time, it's necessary for our mental health.

Gambling can be a very enjoyable form of entertainment only if you manage to win. If a person keeps losing, even if it’s the money they initially planned to lose, they will still leave the casino unhappy. Because losing, even when gambling is just a way to take a break from work or everyday life, still leads to disappointment and definitely doesn’t bring happiness. If you treat gambling as entertainment, it will only help you avoid big losses, but it will not make you happy.

When you visit football match and your team lose - you are disappointed. But finally you pay for the show but not for result. Remember your emotions during the match and compare it with emotions in casino. You pay for it and result can differs. Sometimes you get additional positive, sometimes you`re disappointed, but during the game - you`re delighted.
It is honest deal.

You visited the venue to have fun, right? Throwing in a little bet just adds some extra spice to the game!  But we all know the deal. There are only two outcomes: win or lose. So losing? That’s not some big shocker. It should be totally normal. If we accept that early, it’s easier to handle. That’s what it means to enjoy the game and be a responsible gambler. You’re not just betting, you’re betting with brains.

When you visit the match and pay only for ticket - you pay for the show. If you additionally make the bet - you increase the interest of the show, but can be small disappointed by result. In casino you pay nonstop to continue show. So there is some difference between betting in the casino and on the football match.
But both time it is show with the enter price and we have to calculate how much we ready to pay or it would be better not to visit show.

To some people they treat gambling as a necessity because of what they hope to get from it not because they are rich or because they always want you to fail on purpose. People gamble continuously with the thought of becoming financially stable that's the reason why why they find it hard to control their greed. Gambling  is  a game of luck,if you as re gamble for Profit you'll get addicted to it

Hmm depends, 'cause it's just the same for those people who spends money for other entertainments too like gaming, fashion, sports activity or anything hobby you might think off. The differences here are some things can be consumed and might get used for years but gambling is just one time entertainment. So it's like making it you look rich but in reality it looks like people don't have finance management. So yep, it's all about how you handle your money at the end of the day.

Spending for entertainment isn't bad because majority of us do it, but if you're tossing cash with no return or lasting value, it’s not really “rich life,” it’s just reckless. At least with hobbies like others, you still own something after the money's gone, still considered as an investment asset. Gambling gives you zero unless you win, and even then, it’s usually temporary. So yeah, calling it "rich life" sounds cool until the wallet’s empty and that rich life is gone.  Also, rich people don't justify things on what they do, they don't need labels like rich fellas, they stay rich and quiet.

Accessing your net worth because you could pay for your gambling as maybe said to be an entertainment is a false because, those who's have to sell their belongings just to raise money because they don't have a dime to gamble with can't be said to be rich.
Infact, the gambling with money is for the poor because the expectation with the hard labour of mental stresses in analysing games just to win is because we want to have profits as returns.

It has not been said that the poor people are not allowed to gamble, but they are not supposed to sell their valuable belongings to chase money. Honestly, they don't understand what gambling is about. What is in their mind is that this could solve their financial problem, which is wrong. It is for entertainment, period. We can't change it.

What they did just made them poorer. That is why it was called "throwaway money." We are not always lucky, so we can't expect any return on what we spend.

Someone once advised me about gambling and he said "rich people gamble for fun, while poor people seek fortune to change their fate". I can never deny that until now, to me it is true and in all probability there are many poor people who gamble for money. Most of the rich people gamble because they want to get entertainment, losing and winning are common things, but losing is so painful for the poor who hope to win money from the little money they have.

Haha. I like this kind of ideology. If we're paying to be entertained, then yeah, gambling is just another form of leisure like going to a concert or theme park. The only difference is the thrill of a possible return even if it's "rare". Lmao

At the end of the day, as long as we gamble within limits and treat it as entertainment, there's no harm in enjoying the ride. One bet at a time, living the rich life, cheers to that!

It is a way to see gambling, sure but I am not sure if it is the best one, specially when there are so many people who take gambling and betting more serious than just entertainment.
In an ideal world, people who gambled and threw their money away to the casino would only be composed by rich people, capable of flushing down the toilets thousands of dollars at the time and not to feel any consequences about it, but reality is very different from that.
Ironically, serious investors who try to generate income in the long term and through serious and reliable investments do not spend their time in gambling as much as the poor does in developing countries like Nigeria, Venezuela or even Peru.

One think is to have a rich mentality and another completely different thing is being actually rich and be a high rollers thanks to one economical status.
