Gambling has it’s fun and relaxed side

[@nn@_pen9]

Gambling is indeed fun, but few people see that side of things, leading many gamblers to focus solely on winning. Gambling isn't a way to make money, as it's a random process with no guarantees. One reason they tend to focus more on winning is the monetary reward. I'm absolutely certain of that. So it's difficult to treat gambling like we would any other form of entertainment; there's always the hope in gamblers' minds of winning.

Indeed, gambling is essentially a form of entertainment that provides both pleasure and challenge, in which winning brings rewards. Gambling can be enjoyable if managed wisely. However, problems arise when excessive expectations of winning begin to take over, leading people to lose control and take unhealthy risks.

Smart gambling means acknowledging that losing is a real possibility and preparing for it without over-expecting a win. This way, the gambling experience can remain enjoyable without causing serious negative consequences. Perhaps education about risks and self-management when gambling is also important so people understand and can maintain a balance between entertainment and responsibility.

It's that the rich will always have that advantage, they can choose, get bored of playing and play until they are sick of it, and I think that those are the things that other people don't have access to due to lack of resources, in fact very few rich people fall into addiction because they play up to a point where they can lose a lot of money and then from then on they don't find it very fun and they give up everything and don't play anymore because it bores them.

That’s why gambling sometimes called as expensive source of entertainment since we are paying a lot of money just to have fun.

Rich people has the advantage due to their resources but that doesn’t mean poor can’t enjoy gambling even with limited resources since casino offers a low bet on their games so that poor can still have fun on low bets.

It’s all about contentment if you want to enjoy gambling. Even rich can still not be satisfied if they already reached their max bet limit of the casino in case they chase high betting.

Of course, it's an expensive pastime, but I try not to spend a lot of money on gambling because I want something between relaxation and money. Of course, there will always be wins and losses, and it's not worth getting too emotional about them. It's better to focus on the things that depend on us as players. I think this means limiting our spending on the game and being able to quit when we've exceeded our loss limits. However, those who think of gambling as pure relaxation won't be able to limit themselves and will lose much more unless luck suddenly strikes their way.

Gambling is what you make it out to be. You can make it an expensive hobby/activity, or you can make it controlled and actually enjoyable. It doesn't necessarily have to be bad nor addictive, but it can quickly become costly with the wrong mindset. The main concern is that people are often fooled by the extraordinary money making possibilities, which chances of happening are quite slim. As long as you manage it correctly, it can be an entertaining and relaxing activity.

Personally, I've resorted to only gambling in the weekends, with no work pressure and no specific budget, but with being conscious on how much I'm spending.

That's what we must start from, we first of all fear that what we seek is to win, if we don't win what we have left is the enjoyment, but for the enjoyment to be complete we must have our betting limit so as not to exceed it and lose money unnecessarily.

At the very least, try to ensure that gambling does not cause stress in your life. In my opinion, gamblers who can do this have already succeeded in enjoying each of their betting sessions. It’s understandable that in gambling, the chances of winning consistently are very low, so by sticking firmly to your limits, you will be able to gamble responsibly.

I think those who place small bets are also responsible gamblers, regardless of whether they are rich or poor. That shows that they seek entertainment through gambling, and whether they win or lose along the way doesn’t really matter, because they’ll surely come back again tomorrow. This sounds easy, but not all gamblers are able to do it.

True, gambling can be fun when treated as entertainment and not as a way to chase profit. It gives some thrill and relaxation, especially in casual games with small stakes. The key is to enjoy the game and stop when it stops being fun.

Do you prefer playing for relaxation or for the challenge?

I just watched this interesting video https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPebMp-EiwV/?igsh=aDBrOWM0eXB6MDJ2 and it slammed on me how people are failing to see the simple and relax side of gambling.

It’s exiting to gamble and gamble responsibly. There are people who are gamblers and they are not missing out on their best life, they have won and loss but they enjoy what they do.

Just as people have fun from get from bungee jumping, sky dividing, surfing, taking a horse ride same way they get excitement from gambling. There is no two life’s for anyone. Enjoy your games responsibly.

Those who use gambling as a source of income certainly don't view it as entertainment, except when they win. They assume gambling is purely for entertainment, assuming it's just for fun. Conversely, when they lose, they feel disappointed and ambitious to chase their winnings. As a result, they play hastily and feel frustrated, as their goal is to chase a win that may not be achieved

I always do advice my friends who gamble to see gambling as a form of entertainment, not a way to make a living. When someone can enjoy it without letting it affect their emotions or finances, that’s already a big success.
And you are actually right, betting small and knowing your limits shows self control. It means you understand the risks and are only playing for fun, not out of desperation. But unfortunately, so many people struggle with that mindset and end up chasing losses, which leads to regret at the end of day.

If we start from the fact that in casino games, with the exception of sports betting, it is pure luck, we are people who must accept such a thing Casino games are luck Strategies exist, yes, but no strategy is infallible that will make us win, that is why in the end it is luck.

Indeed, every gambler should realize the importance of controlling their emotions, and finances when gambling. If this mindset can be cultivated, or implemented, then there will be no problem for someone doing anything in their gambling activities, because they already know how to control themselves and know their own limits.

Even chasing losses will not be a problem, because they will certainly use money they can afford to lose when pursuing that goal. Well, actually a good mindset is necessary when gambling, so they can control themselves when things go wrong, and that can make someone a responsible gambler. By the way, I love the way you are still advising your friends who gamble. In fact, everyone needs reminders like that, because sometimes people easily lose sight of their main goal, which is for the entertainment.

When gambling or placing a bet, we're actually trying to get our adrenaline pumping as high as possible, to experience the thrill of risk. And when we win, I personally feel a sense of challenge when I win money on something uncertain, as if we're testing our own courage and self-confidence.
However, it's important to remember that the greater the adrenaline rush, the more money we're willing to bet for a more intense thrill. And that's where the question arises: are we truly prepared to ultimately lose more money just for that fleeting thrill? Gambling can be fun, but it must be accompanied by the awareness that every bet carries consequences. Knowing your limits is key to keeping adrenaline a source of entertainment, not regret.

The problem is that many people often get carried away by the atmosphere, making it difficult to keep their emotions stable. In slot games, for instance, I often see that when people raise their bet amount, they end up getting nothing. As a result, they experience losses more frequently. Therefore, I think controlling emotions is not easy and might take a long time to truly master. In my opinion, betting on sports is much easier in terms of emotional control, because we don't see the results instantly. Simply put it all depends on the type of game.

I agree with you that controlling emotions is very difficult but to survive in gambling you have to control emotions otherwise destruction is inevitable. Those who control their emotions and manage gambling can always follow the right path and protect themselves from big losses. It is true that how a person manages gambling is the main thing. Gambling with the mindset that it is not possible to get rich quickly through gambling is absolutely not right as it lacks self-control and the chances of losing money can increase manifold.

You can be gambling and feels the same way as if it were live, because of the sensational fun and excitement, we dot have to see gambling as what creates panic or fear, instead we have to enjoy every moments of having fun in playing various games form it, that is why we will always hear about gambling being for entertainment and nothing more, everyone should try all the best in making this a reality and part of their own experience when gambling.

You are very correct but it’s hard for most gamblers to embrace gambling as a way of getting fun with it, because their mindset have been build up to seen or take gambling for its outcome, they forget to realize the benefits of embracing or see gambling as a means of entertainment, as it helps them to reduce stress and anxiety unlike when they see gambling as a means of making money, which they will let their losses or wins to affect their emotional state.
So it will be of great benefit for gamblers to practice healthy and enjoyable gambling habits which can lead to more positive results.

It’s exiting to gamble and gamble responsibly. There are people who are gamblers and they are not missing out on their best life, they have won and loss but they enjoy what they do.

Because these people are aware how to control themselves by playing responsibly to not dwell when unfortunate situation happened. Many gamblers can't do this because they are stuck on recovering their losses, unable to accept the outcome.

High expectation and greed are the reason why many of us failed to balance gambling and other activities that can be a source to entertain ourselves. That's why it's crucial to know what we're getting into before deciding to play. Moreover, In gambling, don't expect to always win because it's a game of luck and losing is inevitable.

It's a fact, many people do this when playing slots. My personal experience in the past has been the same. After a lot of spins, I got nothing, I trying to increase the bet one level, after hundreds spins not connected, my emotion start to controlled me, and i will start to think "it should be a chance to win". While it's really happens, and the winning balance is good enough, I trying to increase the bet one more level, and hoping another chance come to me. after that, I'm lose and makes another deposit to chase my previous lost 

After that, I change my mindset with a target, because mostly i challenge my self for a target before withdraw like a minimum $100. But, this target often trapping me from winning to lose everything too. 

it's very stupid, but it's real.

However, those who think of gambling as pure relaxation won't be able to limit themselves and will lose much more unless luck suddenly strikes their way.

For those who se gambling as relaxing, should they ever be bothered about loses? i don't think that should be a concern or a problem to them since they are actually deriving relaxation from it, for them it whether they lose or win it is a win win for them i suppose, since they are getting relaxation form it. the chance that you will win or loose in most cases are beyond your control except for the amount you risk on each game that can be considered withing your control, so like you did mention it will be better we are able to focus on that which we can control than trying to focus on that which we cannot control.

Gambling is an expensive kind of fun for those who consider it for fun purposes, i will always advise that if you are not ready to have your money go down the drain for the purpose of fun, do not try gambling in the light of you having fun because you may not get the fun you did seek as a gambler, so if you are gambling to make money, approach it as such and you will gamble differently and not in the fun manner and then suffer when you encounter too many loses.

I just came from my gambling session and it didn't turn out good as compare yesterday as I lost the money that I won from last night. Regardless though, it was pure adrenaline and I was entertain so whatsover.

I'm not that greedy, but I try to control myself. So right now, I stop already, not going to deposit anymore. Maybe I will just take this L for now and then maybe in the next couple of days I will be back but this time on sports betting. It was a fun ride for me.

Gambling was specially made to be a fun venture, this is something I believe we have discussed here on this forum times and times again, but it's unfortunate that most instead of treating gambling or playing for the purpose it was introduced choosed to play for money instead, they turned gambling into a new form of business and money making venture, this is one of the major reasons we have a lot of gamblers out there who are addicted, even those who are not addicted but struggling financially because the money they should be investing to better their future financial situation is being wasted on gambling in a bid to double it..

Anyways, those who managed to leave the wrong side of gambling and move over to the right side surely do enjoy the experience, I started enjoying the gambling much more since I stopped after money and start playing simply for fun.
