Why do we gamble?

[Yablee0]

Just like the title say, why do we gamble? This is a crucial question that if it's been asked everyone will likely say they gamble to have fun and to be well entertained maybe at their free or bored time.

But if that is the case why do we usually complain most times when we lose or why the persistent chasing of lost or try to get back our lost each time we lose in our gaming streak , perhaps is it that some of us aren't sincere to our self when we usually say we only gamble for the fun? Or is it more in mind that we aren't saying out?

Most people are not being honest with their response, they might say that they gamble for fun but at the end of the day they stake huge amounts of money, this isn't what someone that gambles for fun would do. A lot of people chase profits aand gamble irresponsibly but still claim to gamble for entertainment. Some people gamble the wrong way and still think that they are having fun when it's actually causing harm.

The Truth is that people gamble for the money but yet they claim to gamble for fun. And I have asked this same question several time that what is the fun in losing money? And perhaps there was no reasonable answer. I just guess many are just following the leed of people who don't know the reason why they are gambling. There was a reply by a user I can remember he said that why they call it fun is because it's a game you are not sure of wining, so you are just playing by luck to win. The process of risking what is not possible but having a mindset that you may win someday is the reason they call it fun according to that user. But apart from that explanation I dont see any reason why it is called fun.

In the beginning of gambling, a person may gamble for entertainment. As long as he keeps winning, he will keep saying that he is gambling for entertainment or fun. But when he starts losing and starts suffering. He will start gambling more aggressively to recover the money. Then the point of gambling will not be just about entertainment. He may reveal to others that he is gambling for entertainment. But his mental state has changed and he has reached the first stage of addiction. Therefore, everyone should fix his limit before gambling. After that, if he gambles for entertainment or to pass the time or to relieve depression, there will be no major problem.

Winning or losing is the part of the gambling. So you are notify that some people are complaining about gambling that they are having fun but same time they are complaining the day lost their money while gambling. Those who is completely addicted on gambling most of time for men about these. But you will find that those who play just for fun never complain, or if they do, it is in a humorous way.

So you have to identify first what kind of people you are talking to or interacting with. I know many people who are regulars but they don't usually complain. The main reason for this is that they are not addicted to it, they accept that they are gambling, I can lose or win.

I gamble just for fun. That's it.

Most of the gamblers are gambling for the money, and yes, I don't mind winning, but I don't mind losing as well. I mostly gamble on sports bet particularly on basketball that's why whenever I watch basketball games, and I have spare money during that time, I will deposit it, put some bets and watch the game. For me, it adds excitement, and I know that I'm not the only one that have this kind of experience. Aside from basketball, I also do it on MMA, and in Darts as well.

For me, if I gamble, I just say to myself that if I lose then I lose, and if I win, and I win. Whatever the case is, accept the result. If you lose, accept it and move on instead of recovering it that could lead to more losses. I also think that there are only 2 reasons why people gamble. They gamble for fun, or they gamble for money.

Every gambler has a different purpose for why they gamble. Gambler A might be gambling with the aim of trying to make extra money alone, while we also have gambler B, who wants to have fun and make money too. What they see gambling for will determine how they react each time they lose a bet.

I personally gamble for both the fun and also the hope of winning money. It's two ways. If it's just for the fun alone, there is no time I will be gambling with real money; I should stick with a demo account.

This is infact a very important question that every gambler needs to ask themselves, and the truth is that your attitude and approach towards gambling answers this question more than what you really say. You may say you are gambling to have fun simply because others are equally saying the same thing, but your attitude towards gambling and even your approach says otherwise, which is why it is crucial to make sure we align our goals with your approach as a gambler. If you’re gambling for fun, then your approach should align with that and if it’s solely for the monetary benefits, it’s also important to be straightforward about it too.

we all have different reasons. some are genuinely trying to win. while some are just gambling because they find it fun, some are so desperate to get out of poverty that they start gambling in hopes of getting rich instantly

Every easy to answer questions, but first you need to bring that to individual level and asked yourself and after provide us with your own reasoning for gambling.

Majority will deceive themselves to say they are gambling for fun, but dip down, gambling this days have been taken as a money making venture so Majority of the gambler's are in for the profits and not fun.

Infact the real fun in gambling now comes from the winnings and not in playing the game's as it used to be in the past some gamblers are now taking gamble as means of making income.

We gamble because we are greedy and because we want to get maximum result from minimum effort, regardless of how much we want to sugarcoat it by saying we gamble for fun and entertainment the simple truth is that there are alot of other things we could do for fun if fun was our motivation, it's inherently in our nature to want more everything we get our hands on new things and gambling promises to give us just that and that's why we gamble.
Fun and entertainment are just secondary.

If you lose  at gambling, you complain. If you take other ways to have fun, say traveling, you feel tired. It's part of the expression, at least it's commensurate with the pleasure you choose. What needs to be distinguished is between complaining or blaming the situation which shows that you are gambling because you are forced or out of control.

To be honest, 95% of those gambling are doing for the profit they get from it, and the other 5% both gamble for profit and fun. Seriously, if you really want to gamble for fun then you can make use of demo, instead of risking your money and complaining at the end of the day if the game goes sideway.  Someone who is gambling for knows the amount of money he should put and if doesn’t go as plan it doesn’t affect him in any way.

The main reason for most gamblers is the hope of a chance to change their lives for the better (primarily financially) at once, without the long efforts required to build a career or own a business, the result of which is also not guaranteed. For fun, only those people who do not need money at all play. Naturally, there is a minority of such people among gamblers.

We all gamble because we want to escape our daily worries and boredom. Or because gambling is the kind of entertainment that makes us feel a sense of celebration. Imagine: you have a tough job, you wake up and don't have the money for big entertainment, and you're tired of the routine.
Then the anticipation of gambling will be exactly what inspires you. After all, it's wonderful to sit down in a cozy armchair in the evening, grab your smartphone with slots, turn on a TV show, and calmly spin the slots for about 20 dollars. That's enough for 100 spins, and I think any guy would find such an activity a great distraction from his troubles.

I used to gamble to make money but my loses over time was always more than what I won so inorder to enjoy my games I decided to be gambling for fun, it's better for me. I adjusted my gambling mindset from making money from it to entertaining myself on it, it is the reason that I'm still gambling because I don't like to waste my time on things that I'm not sure whether I'm going to succeed or get it right

Well isnt that depends on the goal of a person? I myself sometimes going to casino (house) to relax and have some fun. So in any case I lose during that day its fine for me cause my goal is simply have fun and enjoy myself. Ofcourse theres a hope in my heart to win some profits but if ever I didnt then its totally fine for me and Im sports about that. Its hard to gamble like your life depends on it.

That's not a crucial question but it's a question that can be answered by everybody.

I don't complain when I lose and I accept it because I know that it's part of the game.
We can't be winners at most times and those who keeps on whining and complaining, they need to attend some seminars on how to accept losses.
I think it's because losing is hard to accept and that's why they keep on complaining. But worry not, eventually they'll learn how to accept it.

I play at casinos for the atmosphere. I love going to a brick-and-mortar casino for the festive and joyful atmosphere. The girls there are really nice, and I went on a date with one of them, not because I'd won, but because she liked me, lol. But she turned out to be weird, and now I think all the girls working at casinos are a bit peculiar.
Overall, the atmosphere at the casino is fun; everyone is very polite, and it's great that any tired guy can feel great in such an atmosphere and relieve stress. Again, this applies if his wife and kids are the cause of his fatigue. Casinos are cool, but within self-control, of course.

You see, this is why honesty will usually save you more than anything else you could think of. If you are an honest person, you will always do justice to yourself and tell yourself the truth, whenever you are going over the boundaries as a gambler, you should be able to know that without being told.

When you are placing gambles which money you cannot afford to lose, it is already obvious that you are going overboard with your gambling and it is no longer fun. Setting boundaries and reducing expectations are the key instruments to responsible gambling and that can only be achieved when you are honest with your decisions and still to what is useful to you without being harmful to use.
