What’s your real definition of a “win” in gambling?

[Orpichukwu]

Some see it as fun , weather they win or not , but each time I win the joy that comes with it alway make me feel I can still get more from there ,so I mix  the two together, entertainment and at the same time winning from the entertainment, but in all gambling it’s just you either win or lose , both are just involved.

If at all there is anyone who could easily and boldly say they don't care if they lose or win in gambling, we all aim for the win; we just have our different levels of how we can deal with it when we lose depending on how much we stake. The same way, our reaction can take a different part each time we win. If gamblers don't really care if they win or lose as much as some people talk about it, they will be playing video games instead of gambling.

Anyone who will say that they don't care about winning or losing is not really saying the truth. The number one reason why people are gambling is to double their bankroll and when this has become impossible, that is when you will be seeing how gamblers are complaining about not making profits from gambling which can be a devastating experience so far.

the truth is that there is nobody who does not care or bother when it lose in gambling or when it benefit from gambling, even though you lose a little amount of money in gambling consistently, one day The Gambler will you go in thinking and the calculate all it has been spending in gambling and after knowing such figure what it has lost in gambling that will make the gambler to realize he or her mistake in participating in gambling, so my opinion is that there is nobody who does not regret or have a remorse when it loses in gambling especially when you lose often even though it is small amount of money you must to think about it if you don't think about it immediately you may think about it in future

And anyone who is not proud of what they are doing in gambling should not be called a gambler; losing, no matter how little the amount is, leaves some form of emotional reaction on the gambler, but knowing that it's part of the game makes it easier to let go, not like those who carry winning and great expectations on top of their heads – they always react much more differently than every other person.

Unfortunately this ignorance is maintained just for a little bit of pleasure, a little bit of hope, a little bit of profit and a little bit more, true victory is not based on financial objects alone, we have different subjectivities in this regard, just like I smoke the tobacco I burn and a few cigars to enjoy a long night, the doctor says it's dangerous for your heart but you still do it just because he can make you feel better, what makes someone think like that? There must be something that can make you feel comfortable doing that without worrying about anything, whether it's a sense of pleasure, pursuit of profit and so on that are the reasons why they want to spend money to play in the casino.

Sometimes the answers don't make sense.

[tread93]

Being someone that has won large amounts many times on dice is what keeps me coming back. I know massive wins are out there on certain games, but I also know that there are massive losses waiting for those who like to play the slots. Yes you can get a big win on them, but most likely you are not gonna be on much profit if you do. Dice, Limbo, and other dice variations are where I have found the most luck. You can play slots but just play small to play something different than boring dice now n then.

I do love the dice games and honestly now i'm itching to get back in there and have a little throw of the dice again. Its been wayyyyyy too long for me, and probably for the best but I will say that it is a thrilling and smashing good time. I do have a pretty nice occasion coming up and I think i've just decided to go and have a fun little fun. I've never gone gambling with my wife. I literally just asked her to go with me on our cruise and she said yes so yay! h aha i'm going to have some fun man! I will have to report back I think that woudl be my definition of winning in gambling. Doing it with someone you hold dear and winning and enjoying the spoils of gambling with!

Once we can understand that gambling will not be that profitable for us as we are seeing it, it is better to gamble less and look fkrltejr soruce of income where we can generate real money we can allocate part of it to gambling.
 The nightmare can be when you are looking for money and you use the small amount with you to gamble with the hope that you are going to double it, but end up losing the money to the casino.

Does a habit like Tobacco make someone feel better or is it some preemptive strike to avoid the reality of what's happening around the person that requires some attention? Quite good, everyone has a habit they feel keeps them going which they can never get so much of it, regardless of how huge or available it's been made for them to enjoy. Gamblers face this in harsh ways, at first it looks just great to think of gaming a way to win over boredom, lack of finance, etc, what then happens when they're no gaming chances made available for the person, wouldn't they adapt to something else or stay within their means.

[HelliumZ]

I’m sure we all have different definitions - if there was just one, maybe a lot more people would have already quit gambling, since the reality is most of us actually lose (the numbers don’t lie). So why do we keep gambling, and why is the industry still growing? There must be some benefit we’re getting out of it, otherwise, we’d just be wasting money, and only a fool would keep doing that, right?

So what does “winning” really mean to you? What keeps you coming back to gamble?

If gambling only enjoyed winning, the number of gamblers would actually decrease geometrically, but in gambling, gamblers enjoy something else besides winning, which could be entertainment or a way to pass the time.
Gamblers participate in gambling even though they know they will lose, just as people consume smoking and drinking alcohol even though they know they are bad. That is, they can satisfy themselves by drinking alcohol and smoking, similarly, gamblers may participate in gambling even though they know they will lose, just for mental peace.

People still disagree that there's absolutely no one who's genuinely gambling for fun, entertainment, leisure and others... And that's why you would see them categorizing all gamblers as profit hunters with no other reasons coming close. But it's not necessarily situational that aside profit nobody is gambling fun and all that are staying otherwise are hiding from the truth. I think gambling is even quite different from other indulgent like the smoking and drugs some people consume, at least you still stand a chance of gaining a reward by how lucky you are but in the other consumptions there's no reward of such, except for self harm.

[Doan9269]

To me, I will say that a win in gambling is when we have a gambler understand the intended purpose for gambling and also go along with the same pursuit to have a responsible gambling experience, doing what is expected and knowing what is right to do is a benefit to gambling and our own personal self. We are not going to have a loss in priority when gambling, and our expectations will not be caught short because we know what we are doing.

I’m not sure if gambling can really bring peace to our mentality because when you spend money and lose it, you’ll probably feel frustrated and it can affect your mental stability. Gambling can be enjoyable when you’re winning(doesn't mean you need to be profitable tho), imagine when you're in a losing streak I'm pretty sure it’s hard to treat it as entertainment. Personally, the chance to win big is what make me coming back to the casino and I believe most people gamble because they hope for that too. Until I experience a real “win” I will stay curious and keep trying.

Winning in gambling does not only mean winning money. Of course profit is good and all people are natural to win, but the deeper sense is connected with control and mentality. As with others, no one really feels anything when he/she is losing, even small sums of money accumulate in time. To me a win is not going beyond your limits, having fun in the process and just walking away without regretting or feeling that you need to realize losses. When you are able to control your emotions and money and make gambling the entertainment, then that is a win, no matter the result.

[Julien_Olynpic]

For me, a true victory in gambling isn't just a win. For me, a win must satisfy certain additional conditions. What are these conditions?
1. It's a game with significantly higher stakes. Obviously, this means sports betting or betting on a prediction platform. I wouldn't place large bets in a casino, because we play there more for fun than for serious play.
2. It's a win with high odds or leverage relative to the original bet. It doesn't take a genius to win with low odds.
3. This win isn't random, but is the result of my proprietary strategy and extensive preliminary analytical work.

[Asuspawer09]

Most of the time Im not really making a huge lot of money, probably the other way around, I lose some money for sure but I didnt really feel like I lost a lot because most of the time I just stay safe so that I would not lose everything, I just do some 2-3 bets and call it a day, not really hoping to win, I want to win but if I lose it's not a big deal and it's just okey to me.  

I guess this is just a matter of people wanting to do the shortcut, most of the people dont really have the patient when it comes to investing money and they mostly end up on gambling because they wanted a quick shortcut on how they can multiple there money in just a short amount of time, but most of the time just end up losing it. Maybe some are going to say that it is for fun and entertainment, the thrill that comes with it, but for me winning just means getting the profit on it, people just keep on coming back because of the chance of winning, it's just the people that is having the wrong mindset in my opinion where they dont want the boring investment anymore, the safe investment because there are already a lot of social media where we see the lifestyle of other people thinking we can easily achieved that not thinking that the people posted that probably spend years in order to get that money.

Nah, is still about winning money, there are no other positive things that you can get out of gambling to be honest. We even have threads about it in the past. Gambling is taking a risk of the unknown and hope that you can win some money. Of course, there is fun in it if you play with just small amount. But let's face it, gamblers play to win, not to lose money. So in the end, it's not about discipline or if you have control of our emotions, that is already given fact for average gamblers or playing for entertainment. But for most of us who look for profits, then that is the very tenant of gambling, stake=winning some or big money.

[maydna]

Winning means gets the money in gambling, no matters how much the money but if you don't wins, you will chase it until you win and get the money. If the wins small, you may difficult to accept and wants to gamble more to win more. But winning is not just about the money but win to conquer your desire in gambling so you do not lose much money. You are the real winner if you can controlling yourself and not just playing gambling or chasing the wins.

We would really be all lying if we do say that we are gambling just because we dont want to win on which this is that a full BS kind of reasoning. For sure the main goal is to hit up that win and that the main reason on why we do gamble in the first place. For those people who had been saying that they are gambling for the sake of fun and entertaintment then it would be later on that you would really be that still aiming for win on the first place. There would really be those who are really that playing for fun but majority of gamblers will really be that aiming for winning and this is where issues would be starting to come out on which you wouldnt be minding when you are just that starting on doing gambling but later on when things becomes start to mess then you would be able to see those effects but eventually you would be ending up on chasing up those loses instead of completely stopping and this is something that most gamblers do ending up on.

Real win on here on which sensibly talking is about to have fun on which this is the main reason on why gambling was created in the first place on which people do let have some fun but of course you would be needing up to spend up some money and thats why its recommended that you should be only spending into the amount that you can afford to lose.

Most do it for the thrill that comes with it , there’s this feeling that usually come when one endup with a win in gambling despite losses . And many still have the mindset of one day they will hit the jackpot aslong they keep going (keep gambling and stuff ) .

Is not easy for one to be gambling for a while and not being addicted to it that’s why we have to be careful while engaging in gambling so that we won’t harm ourselves at the proceess

Without really thinking about the monetary aspects of gambling, the thrill and vibe alone of knowing that you’re able to make a prediction and it happened exactly the way you predicted is quite rewarding on its own, and I believe this is the very reason why some people would say they’d gamble without necessarily caring about the wins. Each gambler has their own individual expectations when they gamble, for some, it’s really not walking back home with a fat pocket to take care of a financial win, they’re just there to unwind.
