Why do we gamble?

[Sonia_123]

Every gambler has his reason for gambling, some gamble because to have a good health as recommended by their doctor, some gambles for fun to ease themselves from stress and socialize while some gamble because of money to fix their financial problems but ends up encountering losses due to lack of proper planning to control their gambling habit, although gambling is for fun, but sincerely speaking most gamblers now gambles because of money to meet up their financial needs.

If there are people who want to gamble or want to gamble, it is because this is what they chose to do, maybe because of curiosity; it is also possible that others think that this is their only hope to get out of poverty because they have heard of someone suddenly becoming rich because of gambling because they got lucky despite being poor.

There are actually different reasons why some communities gamble, and there are also others because it has become a habit for them, so they are having a hard time getting rid of it or escaping from it, and there are some who are just having fun or passing the time.

Most gamblers play for money, and I think we need to be realistic about this. If it's not for money, then an account can be an option, but I also understand that sometimes we need the adrenaline rush that comes with entertainment, and we can get that when we bet with real money.

Gambling for entertainment does exist, but most people come for the money. The idea of gambling for entertainment, in my opinion, is just to cover up their shame and avoid criticism from others. But there's nothing wrong with gambling for money. The most important thing is to gamble only with an amount you can afford to lose and never chase your losses.

The majority of gamblers that gamble for money are higher than those gamblers that is gambling for fun because you will not going to stress yourself when you loose, but if you are gambling for money, anytime you lose funds in gambling it will affect your mood through out the day because that is not your wish for the gambling, gambling for fun or entertainment, you don't need to spend much fund before you can make huge funds from gambling because the little you are making from gambling it will make you happy and confident to more games to gamble, it will give you peace of mind whenever you use what you can afford to lose in gambling because that is what is keeping some gamblers till today.

I am sure that most of people play gambling due to the opportunity to get some money, and that is absolutely sincere. Gambling is also exciting because it is possible to transform a small amount into something large. Nonetheless, the entertainment aspect is also factual. The experience includes the adrenaline, emotional, and suspense. The issue begins when an individual bets just to get money and allow the loss to influence his or her temper. Gambling should be viewed as a form of entertainment and one can only risk gambling money that they can comfortably lose without having to follow through with a loss.

Every gambler has his reason for gambling, some gamble because to have a good health as recommended by their doctor,

you are very funny and simply don’t know what you are saying, how is it possible that a doctor will recommend his patient to be gambling? Which kind of sickness would make a doctor recommend a patient to be gambling, please I will like to know the kind of sickness that will make a doctor recommend his or her patient to gamble, from what I know gambling is not good for someone who is not in a good health condition because the shock that happens to people when they gamble can cause death, I know of a man who died out of shock from gambling, he used huge amount of money to place a bet and when the match didn’t go as he predicted the shock from that killed him, he had a certain health condition as at then.

These are legitimate concerns because the emotional outrage of losing a significant person can be lethal in the case with a history of having a heart illness. In my opinion, the claims on the medical effects of gambling are also most of the time false information that is highly hazardous when believed in but not proven. We should understand that acute stress on the loss of material things might cause sudden yet life-threatening physical assault. I would agree with the fact that safety is much more valuable though the activities are not that significant in terms of psychological effects.

It is indeed the person's prerogative to gamble, so yeah, it depends on the pleasure he is getting from this activity why he's doing it so.

I think people gamble more for the risk and the adrenaline rush than for the money. Look at it this way: who here has become a millionaire through gambling, or who wins more than they lose? I think almost no one has. Deep down, they believe it's about the money, but when there's an addiction, money only matters as a means to gamble. In reality, an addict could win 10 million dollars and keep betting more and more until they're back to square one. That's why I think the reality goes beyond that; money is just a stepping stone.

Yes, I understand that, but isn't the motivation and what attracts gamblers the fact that the prize is money? Of course, and I'm sure about that. If there were no money, not many people would be interested in playing. They understand and know that losing happens more often than winning, but in reality, everyone has the feeling that “this time I will definitely win,” and that feeling is supported by high self-confidence.
Gambling for the adrenaline rush does exist, but it's only for responsible gamblers who don't mind losing. The rest are those chasing money.
