Why do we gamble?

[Akbarkoe]

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?

Complaining about losing is normal, it doesn't matter even though the goal is just for fun, if the bet gets lost, only strange people feel happy when they lose. isn't that so? but that doesn't mean they will chase defeat to get the money they have lost in gambling, I think this cannot be concluded only in your view, because everyone has different goals from different mindsets and of course the point of view will be different from yours, not that we are dishonest but we do gamble for fun, losing and complaining is normal it's just an expression of the defeat that is obtained.

Those who gamble in addition to having fun aim to win, as in competitions or as in any other game the stakes are the win.
In the specific case of gambling, the winnings are in money and therefore more coveted, why do we continue to play? The answer is simple, because psychologically it seems simple to get a win, in reality the chances are low.
It makes things worse, those who advertise gambling by making it seem simple, showing crazy wins and therefore making people think it's simple.
The mind records this data and continues its search for a win that you will probably never get in life, but you make use of a fixed thought:
If I don't play I can never win! On the one hand, it's true that if you don't play, you don't bet, you will NEVER be able to get a win, but if you DON'T play, you can dedicate yourself to other activities.
It depends on what you want to achieve and why.

I think everyone knows why we gamble, for entertainment and to win some money. But at the end of the day, gambling=money so that's where our reasons goes. Maybe there are some who has limit and wanted to test themselves, but they are not going to gambling in greater lengths.

But for the majority, maybe we started with that kind of mentality and then got hook on the feeling when we win and then the devastation when we lost. Yes, definitely, everything is one our mind, whether we wanted to be an addict and lose all our money, or have the discipline to just play in moderation.

It totally depends on one's personality. In other words, those who gamble for fun never regret losing money. There are many people who talk about having fun but their thinking is different. Sometimes I even gamble for fun but think about money first. So I think, no one tells the truth and keeps secrets all the time.Its specialty is that the mind can be comforted even in defeat. However, gambling should not be over-enthusiastic and a small amount of money should be used.

Complaining when experiencing loss due to defeat is natural because behind the initial intention of playing for entertainment, there is a desire to win and make withdrawals.
For me, that feeling is natural, but if gambling becomes a means to seek victory and a way to get rich, that is wrong, and the level of that mistake is a major one that will lead to ruin and poverty.

If there is a budget set aside for gambling from the start, I believe that committing to not exceeding that limit will be beneficial, and the goal of seeking entertainment after a long period of boredom at work can be achieved.

at the beginning, I gamble for fun, and looks happy when get some max win from slots. The more I played, the more greedy coming, I'm not playing for fun anymore but for win. I got trapped in this situation almost 1 year full. I realized I'm in the wrong way to gamble, the more bigger loss my brains trying to push me to gamble again, until I decide to stop the way to deposit, with sending money to my wife, I only keeping $10 in my bank account, in case I want to gamble. Why I want to gambling? still trying to get a win lol. I know it's not the right choice, but I'm have better control with limit access to use my money to gambling. I trust my wife, she never hide my money, this is my lucky side. while more losses in gamble. LOL.

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.

You’re right. Maybe there are really some people who do it for entertainment purposes, but not everyone who says that is being true to themselves. I don’t know why they say that when it’s obvious they’re doing it for profit. The moment you start thinking about winning or making a profit before you even play or deposit, it shows you’re there for profit. Maybe it’s psychological, a way to counter their emotions once they lose and to think they’re still in control, even though they’re already planning to come back and wondering if they can win next time.

I believe that it is the combination of amusement, optimism, and emotional gratification that contributes to our gambling feelings the most, and most of the time people do not realize how irresistible the desire to recover money after a loss is. Even casual players are able to change their mindset when they lose, since the brain does not love the wins as much as it does not like losses. That's when chasing begins. Yes personality is important, but self-awareness is more. They claim to play as a hobby, but they act in a manner that they are attached to the end result. The difference between casual gamblers and problem gamblers is honest limits, set budgets and acceptance of losses as the price of entertainment. The experience is determined by discipline.

It's easy. It's because we are not really honest with ourselves. Some gamblers do say they are just trying to have fun, but the truth is, there is a purpose, there is a goal to win big, even if they will be spending a lot of money in the process. With that kind of mentality, it can lead to bigger problems because the gambler will just keep on lying to himself and won't admit that he is becoming a gambling addict and is trying to chase the losses that may never be recovered.
Accept the reality that it is difficult to win against the house, and you will feel more relaxed when you play their gambling games.

People have their right in deciding on the reason why they are gambling, because this is a personal choice to make depending on how we have seen playing games and gambling is, the same interpretation we have given will determine what we expecting from it and that is why you will see that some advanced into gambling for different purposes based on what they already have in mind to was it right from the start.

I never complain after losing because there's not much to complain about in the first place. I try to gamble only with what I can afford to lose and I can say that most of the time that's how my gambling goes. Never chase losses for the same reason, they never so big that I have the urge to chase them. And it's not only me, I must say. I personally know a lot of gamblers in real life and online, and gambling goes same way for them too. Actually it's not a big deal, not losing a lot to your gambling and never chase losses. For 90% of gamblers it's pretty real.

Basically for me, gambling (especially sports betting) is just for the fun and excitement..  it has a way of adding spice to the game I am watching. But I strictly put my mind that it is just entertainment, not a guaranteed way to make money..

If I win sometimes, it’s cool, that is a bonus..  If I do not, I have still enjoyed the game..  When I have a small stake on it, it just makes things more intense and fun, keeping me engaged, and makes the whole experience more exciting..

The reason for this is that every gambler says they gamble for fun but deep down they are actually enjoying gambling for money. If you were given a demo of gambling, it might seem boring to you. But in any situation with money winning or losing gambling will seem exciting to you.

It is also true that gamblers gamble for entertainment because if gambling was not accompanied by entertainment, no gambler would gamble more and become addicted despite the possibility of loss. Just as we gamble only for fun this is not entirely true and most gamblers gamble to make money  this is not entirely true .

People gamble depending on their goals. Few people gamble for fun, that's for among the rich people. However, most gamblers, especially those in the lower and middle classes, gamble to earn a living. So that, when they lose, they try to chase their losses. Those who experience significant losses in gambling often find it difficult to stop gambling, as they will think about it how to recoup the money they lost.

You have made a very good point here by saying that most people will not be honest to themselves because some will respond that they gamble for fun yet they stake with a huge amount of money, i want you to understand that if most people decide to gamble with a huge amount of money that doesn't discriminate the fact that we all gamble for funs, because you can't gamble with the amount money you don't have or can't afford to lose, so those football lovers choose to complete their football entertainment with gambling for fun and if there is a reason you are not gambling for funs that means gambling is only means of income and you can be addicted to it in the manner that people leaving around we start noticing.

Its also being honest with everyone else too!

The number 1 attraction of gambling is to turn a profit, it has been the case since time immortal!

Just look at advertising, its about winning pots of Gold, a holiday, vast amounts of winnings all
geared to enable us to change our lifestyle.

Thats all very well, it does happen and there is no law against that sort of advertising but it is
targeted directly to our hopes and dreams and we are ready and willing to take the chance to win!

Winning makes us feel great!

For me it's to earn money that I can use to gamble too lol. Well, if I did won I definitely will use it for daily expenses or some of it are used to buy crypto that I need to HODL. I think the "having the fun" part has been expelled a long time ago, it's fun as well to have some profits to be honest.

The initial reason someone gambles may be out of curiosity and for fun. But unknowingly, these reasons can change into a personal desire to win. 
Whatever your reason for gambling, the important thing is that you know when to stop. It's true that many gamblers hide behind the excuse of having fun, but we know that not many gamblers actually enjoy the game. Gamblers enjoy winning.

[Dr.Osh]

To be honest, initially I gambled to increase my income and wanted to get money instantly. At first, I really wanted to win when I gambled and was constantly looking for new strategies on how to win every day. As I gained experience, I finally realized that I wasted so much money and time on gambling without achieving my main goal, and now I just enjoy it.

[Popkon6]

Many people gamble online, so it is not that everyone has the same purpose. Those who actually gamble gamble for fun and they are used to gambling for a long time and in the future they enjoy gambling with pleasure. But those who gamble for money and for the purpose of earning money basically reach the point of addiction within a short time, and the symptoms of addiction manifest themselves in such a way that later the gambler is greatly affected. However, those who enter gambling for the purpose of fun should give more priority to gambling.
