Is Betting Really A Show Of Passion?

[alani123]

Betting is a business but not for the gambler.

As soon as you find a reliable way to make money on betting your account is gone.

As soon as you start predicting too many things right you are investigated for fraud match fixing etc.

Is it a business for you? No, but your cash makes their business. That's something to consider.

[Botnake]

If betting is a sign of passion, then I don't know how these gamblers felt when their passion brings them constant losses. That's why I don't believe that people bet because they are passionate about it, but realistically, people bet because they think that's where money is. People bet hoping that it will make them instant rich if they win life-changing amount.

Betting is a business for casino owners, but for gamblers, its kind of chasing their luck and chances. If they won't bet, they will not experience winnings, as well as they won't endure consistent losses because luck is no where to found.

I have heard people say this, that they bet because of the passion they have for the game.

People are just funny, and everyone is looking for excuse for their gambling activities. If you are gambling that doesn’t mean you have passion for it. Don’t be surprise that some addicted gamblers will start  saying they have passion for sports that’s why they are addicted to gambling.

I know some people do gamble for fun, but they are just few, most people gamble just because they want to make money, and that’s why lots of people are now addicted to gambling, if you are after money when gambling, you will find it difficult to stop gambling even when you are suppose to stop. Anyone telling me they gambling because they have passion for the sport is just deceiving themselves.

Could be either way, you dont have to place money to be passionate about a game and it does not preclude the possibility either.   I would advise against betting purely for supporting a team, it doesnt really work that way and I think it would not be profitable to bet purely on your favorite team though there is always good luck and underdogs who surprise everyone.

I have heard people say this, that they bet because of the passion they have for the game.

First and foremost, anything you do by putting money to win money is not passion. That's business. You don't show true passion by spending money to win money. What satisfy you most about your passion is the happiness you get from a thing without considering money. It's okay if money comes afterwards.

Passion means you are enthusiastic and devoted; you can have passion and bet on sports that you are into. If it's business, or whatever you call it, as long as there is enthusiasm and devotion, it's still passion, whether you bet or not, like I like betting on horse racing because I have a passion for horse racing.
These sports bettors love betting on their favorite team because they are passionate supporters. You can be passionate and still bet; there's an element of devotionand enthusiasm, so I disagree with your assessment.

Betting is not a way of showing passion. It's purely a ground to make money. It's business. The more people accept this, the better for them because the feeling or disguising the truth for passion is one of the reasons people don't realize to getting addicted. They see the addiction sings as signs of passionate individual and will never accept they're getting into addiction.

It’s hard to generalize because every gambler in this crypto industry is different. What one person feels might be completely different from another's experience.

As for me, I’ve developed a liking for sports betting. It’s not necessarily my life’s passion, but I definitely find enjoyment in it. Whenever I see a casino with a sportsbook, I usually give it a go because I find the experience entertaining.

[Supreme Donvic]

Gambling is not done because of passion if you are gambling because of the passion you have for sports then you are addicted to gambling, the right reason why we should gamble should be for fun and not for passion, when you have passion for something, you can never leave that thing and you will keep doing it without limit because you are passionate for it. We should not be passionate about gambling. And those who are saying they are gambling because of the passion they have for sport are just lying to themselves and they easily get addicted to gambling.

Well, I might not be in support of giving excuses for gambling but one thing I can say of a certain is that Passion is what drives people from learning about a said sports and learning upto the point of getting started in gambling. Ask a typical gambler how is gambling started and he will tell you that he first got introduced into a particular sports, eventually loved the sports and sonner of latter, his frequent involvement in the sports made him continue gambling.

The thing about expressing your passion is that you do it cautiously so you don't end up encountering looses and give all the excuses as being  driven by your passion for the game.

[Ziskinberg]

This is where most gamblers often lose because they bet on their favorite sport or team because they see passion on it, instead of betting on where they think it is more capable to win and may bring them real profits. And if you are one of these gamblers, think of it if its actually making you a wise bettor.

Personally, betting is kind of business you take risk. But just like any business, the outcome is unclear because of its unpredictable market. And if you have less control of yourself and is carried more by your emotions, that's where losses often attack you until you become zero balance.

[mcdouglasx]

Of course not, betting has nothing to do with your passion for a sport. But if you already have that passion, honestly, without deceiving yourself, betting can add an extra thrill to fully enjoy the sport you love. However, be careful, because for some people this can be a double-edged sword, since losses can make people feel bad when money is at stake. In other words, it increases both the positive feelings of victory and the adrenaline of the game, but it also increases the frustration of losses.

[Mindyspace]

It's quite interesting. Betting does involve money, so there's a financial component that can't be ignored. But it's also curious how some people feel that following sports more intensely, analyzing teams, statistics, or trying to predict results, ends up mixing passion with the desire to win.

In the end, it probably depends on each person; some bet for the competitive and strategic side, and others manage to separate that from a true passion for the game. The important thing is to be aware of your own limits so as not to confuse enthusiasm with the risk of addiction.

One piece of advice...

[Jubilee58]

When it comes to gambling or betting, their two categories of people involved, those that bet for fun and those that bet to make money. When you have passion for something, you do it with all joy and without complaining and this unlike gambling. As you gamble , ones you begin to record losses, you countenance will change automatically and the only time you feel happy is when you record winning and their is no passion in this case because your happiness is only dependent on your winning.

In addition, It's business with passion, even in reality, you can't scale in business without passion, a developer advise the public to stay away from it, I asked why, he said it's tiring, he added that if you aren't passionate about it, you'll quit, that passion for it keeps you going even when payments hasn't come yet.

Doing business without passion will seems to be sabotaging oneself, it will collapse if care is not taking.

The thing is that you’re not going to see people who are going to admit that they are gambling for money sake, all of a sudden everyone in this community (except a few users) have turned into a saint and none of them gamble for monetary gain even those who constantly post their bets tickets here in the forum with hundreds of dollars being staked on it.

The thing is that only a few people gamble because of passion, a lot of them gamble for money sake. If it was truly for passion why then do people bet on sports they know little to nothing about? Does that still counts as being passionate?

Hardly. Gambling in a way tries to test how well you understand a sport and how much insight you’ve got on a fixture.

There is a different way to express passion in sports and that’s shown in your fandom and loyalty to a team. Gambling just finds a way to tag along and they seem like a perfect blend as, it offers a different kind of fun to the game and you find many gambling platform offering sponsorship deals to various teams in a sport. Y
With gambling, you get the opportunity to win some good money and should you loss, you have the chance to try again.

How about those people who say their passion is betting on the casino or sports? The word and meaning of passion can be used on almost anything, because based on

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/passion, one of its meanings is

b: a strong feeling of enthusiasm or excitement for or devotion to some activity, object, or concept

If it is not, then are people who say that betting on sports is their passion wrong? I think you have the wrong definition of passion and gambling.

Putting money into passion to make more money isn't always gambling as some may think, because I believe that people who say they love sports and love to bet on it just to show solidarity or express their feelings, have an end goal in mind and that is to be right.
Being right about the outcome of a match has become a very good reason why some win big when gambling and I think gambling as a sport has sure done well to reduce arguments and fights that could erupt from being right all the time as a passionate sport fan. That's why gambling exist to prove your argument right or wrong.

[Agbamoni]

You don't show true passion by spending money to win money..

You dont know that!
Tell that to the rich folks and see how they laugh at you. In case you do not know, the rich spend money with passion, it doesnt matter where they spend their money. Perhaps you have never gone to a casino before. If you visit a physical casino, you will see all kinds of people. Those who gamble because of passion, profit, entertainment, etc.

[Sandra_hakeem]

Whether or not one is only gambling for the the sole purpose of making profit, doesn't mean the others that just straight up have passion for the game are more enthusiastic over the others.. Everyone serves a purpose, but at the end, you have to choose either to risk it and earn, or not even try at all. I think the risk involved in gambling is the only reason why we're having this conversation-- everyone clearly wants money, but not all will gamble for it.
Yes, betting is not just a show of passion, it's connectivity in a sequential process, that thrives the entire sports and entertainment industries. We'll always have people that are doubtful enough to stake money that something will never happen, and that's passion-driven.

Not everyone is interested in betting but we have lots of people that are all about football and other sports games just because they jaut love watching it...not every bettor is also a fan of sports games, majority are just there because they are trying to make money from it...A lot of people need to realize that football can be enjoyed without really betting on the games that you are watching, but everyone thinks differently
