Relationship between game and gambling

[crwth]

I do believe that some games are really getting the hang of being easy to play. It doesn't matter if it's from a guy who loves to play games before or someone that is getting into gambling. 

I think that there is a balance between the two classifications where there is an intersection for people who are prone to gambling addiction and just purely gaming without the risk of money.

I'm talking on general basis, are those who like game likely to gamble because there is a relationship between game and gambling?

At least a higher percentage of game lovers would gamble. What do you think...

I  think even without the numbers and data, it will imply that both are connected and we can even say that it could interchange between the two. If we play games let's say the example that you put, video games, there could be some money laid on this sports and it's the very definition of Esports now.

And the very obvious example is sports games itself, from playing with your friends to the opposing team, you can also put money on the line here. Typical of this is basketball games that might be played on obscure league and there could be patrons of both teams staking some money.

That actually will not happen to many people as long as they can avoid gambling. They will like games but not gambling because they know what the impact of that and will stay away from gambling. They feel playing games will be better than gambling because they don't have to lose money and get fun of the games. Those who like game can playing gambling but that depend on them. Playing gambling is an option for us so we need to think the benefit gambling for us. If we think that gambling can make us lose money, we don't have to try and just playing games. The percentage of those who playing games and gambling will be difficult to know. But maybe game lovers will be many as we see many people like playing games in their android phone.

For gamblers who bet on sports, sports are a very important thing and if you think about it from their perspective, you can actually understand the good relationship between gambling and sports. Now I will bet on sports but I have no idea about sports then I will never win that bet. I have to know something then I have to take some risk, now if I don't have any idea about all these things and only risk money then that money will definitely be lost. Currently there are many sports in the world but the most popular sports that are bet on are football cricket and some other popular sports. People follow these sports more and people have more idea about these sports so gamblers choose any favorite team to bet on and bet on that team. If everything is fine and the gambler's prediction is not wrong then in many cases gamblers have a high chance of winning in gambling.

We get the word and meaning of the word "game" in infancy, sometimes without really understanding the meaning itself. But what follows the game, especially in society? The desire to be the first, to be a winner. I think this is typical of every normal person. The game implies competition; wherever we compete with someone, in essence, there is excitement. However, gambling is usually called something in which there is some financial interest. In a sense, the OP is right that those who strive to be a winner more often will definitely have experience in gambling in their history. But here we can connect the mind since when playing gambling, we still sacrifice some funds. Then comes the right to choose whether a person will also be a fan of gambling, understanding that the chosen ones become leaders in them, or will prefer to be where his leadership is more obvious.

This link  also support this view of gaming and gambling. Although the link and survey was narrowed to video game.

Another article about the study of obvious things. All the points of the "Key findings" are so obvious that the question arises as to who is financing this and why? This is more like a "scientific" rationale for a business plan to teach children to gamble.

By the way, it is quite obvious that ordinary players of any games, except gambling, are not predisposed to gambling in any way. In other words, playing chess or Skyrim does not lead to slots. Why? Because for an ordinary player, gameplay is valuable, and for a gambler, the value is the bet and the euphoria of risk. By and large, a gambler doesn't give a damn about gameplay. In a locked room, two gamblers will play even-odd on their fingers and place bets on slaps.

Cmon, i have lots of fellows gamers, but just really small part of them are gamblers. The best of them(amateurs) don`t even have a time for gambling - they have a job, family, training - no time for gambling. Professional players have a regret for betting(if i remember right).
There is just on thing, that increases gamers chance to become a gambler - they know the game much better than common gambler and can predict the game better.

I have young cousin that is in love with computer games, and each time he is busy on his gaming device trying and unlocking new level of the games and playing them, I can say what I noticed in him despite he is not using Money to play or winning Money from the games.


He still pay his full concentration and trying each time to make it to the next level, so yeah for sure money is not the only reason why some player games so much and hard, so are just doing it for the fun, not money winning, even gambler are doing so some time for the fun.

It is common to see little children celebrate when they win in computer games. But my concern is that they might get to a point where unlocking the next levels or winning will no longer satisfy them.  At that time, they might start seeking other forms of entertainment, and he might be introduced by peers to gambling.  

While growing up most of my peers learned how to gamble from computer games. They sometimes bet on who will win the game using little funds. As they become adults and no longer have an interest in gambling, they simply switch to betting platforms.

Well, I can look at myself, I used to game a lot and I do gamble. I am not sure if it's because I use to game, so I gamble but it's a fact that I have done both.

Also, one thing I would like to add is — people who are into gaming are likely to be interested in esports and that interest may lead them to esports betting.

Some people that love to play games and sports can later be influenced to gamble on the games and sports that they love. Eventually they'll start to gamble on other types of games and become real gamblers, they dabble into gambling because of their love for games. There is another category that went into gambling because of money, they don't care much about games and are not into any sports but they needed to know about games that they gamble on out of necessity. The last from my view are those that wants to entertain themselves in gambling, they explore different games and have knowledge about them so that they can have fun playing them.

[lizarder]

I'm having this thought therefore that, majority of those who love game find themselves gambling. So to say, if you don't like game you may not become a gambler.

I think there is a certain fact with this. Growing up, all the people I knew from childhood who love to play games or watch whatever kind of game ended up becoming gamblers or at least gambled at a certain point in their lives ( because they like game).

This is a general picture of people who love football games and maybe that hobby makes people tend to bet every time a match is on. But there are a small number of people who don't like football games but they still bet randomly and I have a friend who is in that condition. But for the case of games I don't find it to be the same as what you said because I also have a friend who loves to play games but never gambles.

Basically this may seem subjective because there is no accurate data that may be presented regarding how many people here are actually gamblers who are affected by games or maybe I missed something. But a few people may be in the exact same condition as you said when it comes to gambling.

I currently do not play any games, either on PC or on Android phones, I used to play at least 1-2 games but not too seriously, and only to fill my free time, I mean there are people who are very serious about playing until they use money to buy tools or anything in the game to upgrade their account or to make the game more interesting.
However, I do not think that because I used to play games makes me gamble now, although there could be a correlation but it will be valid if it is based on research not based on thoughts or feelings alone.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

I think there is this relationship that exist between the two, if you don't gamble you don't play game. You can play game without gambling accepted, but at what rate compared to those who gamble because they are playing game or because they have to play game as a channel to gamble. When I say game I mean all kinds of games from casino games, video games or PS, to sports, to table games, card, dice etc.

Yes, there is a big relationship between the two phrase, because you can play a game without gambling, but you can't gamble without playing a game. Hence, games remains a key component of gambling, that's why the more interesting a game is, the more likely it is to retain gamblers into spending longer time and generate more revenue to the casino or betting platform.

I'm having this thought therefore that, majority of those who love game find themselves gambling. So to say, if you don't like game you may not become a gambler.

Yes, of course there is a certain level of truth in what you just said above regarding the relationship between the phrase "Game" and "gambling", because primarily, the zeal to gamble usually start with a person's love for a particular game, which could be either football, basketball or baseball, and as a person gradually gain knowledge into understanding how the game works, and the possible parties likely to lose or win when played, then the spirit of gambling pops in, as he tries to wager money with the intention to double it.

Games is any form of activities that has been set up for us to play and enjoy ourselves while having fun in them at any convenient time, while gambling refers to when we are playing these games with our money as stake on them to know or test about our abilities in playing games, if money is not involved, then it turns to be game play, but when we use our money to bet at playing a game, then we have gamble and become a gambler.

No 

Game lovers keep playing even though it's free, you have to see the fact now that gamers spend time to keep playing without having to earn/lose money. While gambling is just a game that in the end you have to spend capital, because free gambling or demos don't make anyone satisfied with the results. Plus free gambling doesn't have any results while gamers out there even though they play for free still get results to increase their level.

want to make more sense? Do a little research in your environment about the differences between 2 groups (game lovers and gamblers) then it will be easier to find the answer.

[As-Soon-As]

There are some gamblers who gamble regularly but do not participate in ball games, and there are some gamblers who like to enjoy ball games and gambling in different ways. Gambling is basically a matter of different pleasures where gamblers all love to get together and enjoy themselves, those who enter gambling for fun do not give much priority to money.
They spend more time where there is more pleasure, I think those who like games are the ones who mainly participate in gambling.

Now I will bet on sports but I have no idea about sports then I will never win that bet. I have to know something then I have to take some risk, now if I don't have any idea about all these things and only risk money then that money will definitely be lost.

That is not always the case in gambling that you need to know the sports in order to place the bet and win. I know people who do not have any information about the sports , they place the bet and win it too. While even a thorough analysis of the game , it may not guarantee a win. You can place a bet with perfect analysis and can still result in a loss bet. That how uncertain is the gambling and it all depends upon luck.

As far as the OP topic is concerned, a game can give you entertainment and in some cases money too but you do not lose anything while in gambling you put your money at stake and the outcome of the gamble will make you win or lose your money.

There are all kinds of games... but when you enter a game with something you have in order to get more of it or something else, you are gambling. That's why I often say that life is a gamble... every day we risk what we have to gain something! In gambling, as in life, sometimes we win and sometimes we lose...

Well, this can be true, why not? Players love to play just give them the right game, we are in a constant chase for some fun & excitement.

don't you think that eventually your cousin will soon play spending money? not that he will play to earn but he might put money into games to unlock characters or features even in roblox there are in game purchases and nowadays i do not think there is at least one game that is totally free yes yo have the option to keep playing for free but if you want to level up then you would need to pay
