Does winning but not really enjoying gambling actually satisfy you?

[bitbollo]

After many years of gambling I find something clear that this can't be seen as something related only to "win", "make money" and so on...
People gamble also for FUN. Probably the real reason is FUN that lead many people to have this "hobby".
Imagine, would you spend hours and hours by ending without money or maybe for earning just a small amount of money=

But are they really enjoying it?

I can't answer this with a 100% accuracy since I'm not one of them, but I assume it's somewhat similar to what some people achieve by using cheats in shooter games ^{[it doesn't matter if they enjoy it, as long as they mostly win in different situations (some bettors get more satisfaction by making money, as opposed to getting the full gambling experience)]}.

I mean, I see a lot of users who just rely on tipsters. They win sometimes, sure, so technically they’re in profit.
But they’re not the ones who really analyzed the game or made the call themselves.

So in a way, yes, they’re winning. But are they really enjoying it? Or is it just about following signals and waiting for results?

Anyone here can relate to this?

Well, I don't know if anyone here can relate to this but I personally don't relate, if I gamble, it's because it's something I love and don't mind engaging myself in it, even if I have to engage the services of tipsters, the real fact remains that I love gambling but due to lack of proper football or sports knowledge, I engage tipsters who are more knowledgeable than myself pending when I gain enough knowledge to be able to analyze games and bet on my own.

It's awkward for anyone to engage themselves in something they don't love and find satisfaction in even without being forced, who does that? I've never imagined this is possible, I've always believed that someone who gambles definitely finds some form of satisfaction in it and that is why they gamble.

I'm one of those guys who'd sometimes wait for certain tipsters for their next picks and I have to say it's enjoyable because it's like finding a hidden gem under the rubble when not all tipsters are good at making picks.

There are days when the tipsters go downhill, but that's usually part of the experience, and you also need to go through those bad days before you start to enjoy the ride with them.

Others may not find it enjoyable because it feels like taking a shortcut, but not everyone has the time to spend on researching picks, so they rely on tipsters.

What will really satisfy our mind is our intention for why we are gambling, some are always finding it more difficult to cope whenever they see that they are losing in gambling. On the contrary, some gamblers don't even mind losing a game as long as they have the fun they need from playing, so the intentions we have towards gambling determine our reaction to it at each session we play.

There are two scenarios: those who play for fun (obviously also aim to win) but the main goal is to try to win while having fun (as in my case).
The other case is that of the gambler who plays to win (which is also a fair view) but you have to be careful to set a limit, if you play to win and you don't have fun, in the long term (if you don't win) you will feel more frustrated than normal, in which case the path will open up towards depression and the search to recover what you lost, or again (in the best cases) he will abandon gambling.
The key is always that, playing with fun without expecting to win, if you manage to win it's all earned in both "health" and money.

Some enjoying it but some just following signals and waiting for results. Those who just following signals wants the winning every time they bet. But that will not possible because the match can results to anything. The weak team can beat the strong team so they don't have to expect to always wins.

No problems if they just rely on tipsters because they don't wants learning about analysis. Some people just waiting for the signals shares and place their bet. That is the easy thing for them so they don't have bothering searching for the data.

But those who don't want to rely on tipsters will improves their skills. They know if they want to makes money from sports betting, they must have good skills in analyzing. They will not stops learning since the situation can changes anytime.

It depends on the way he thinks, if the gambler is a beginner of course they are waiting for the signal and waiting for the results, it is different for experienced gamblers, even though the tips are accepted and recommended, they will still enjoy it in other ways. Experienced gamblers will turn these tips into one container even though the rain falls from various directions, the goal is one win.

For me personally, I enjoy and have more satisfaction with my efforts, if the bet I place from tips/advice I am not satisfied even though the bet wins, that is my experience.

On the contrary, if I'm losing in the bet, will I enjoy the game? The answer is No. The ultimate joy in gambling is the winning gain that doubles the initial betting amount. The purpose for betting is winning, you may not enjoy the game but your interest is on not losing your bet at the long run. I have being in viewing center were some gamblers express themselves that they are not enjoying the game but they still wish that their bet doesn't fail. This means their main aim and desire is that they want to win and not lose not even because they are not enjoying the game. So I get satisfied when I win my bet despite not enjoying the game because even the football players don't have any close relationship with you, everyone is seeking their good interest.

Exactly the point, my reason for gambling is what will drive my decisions in gambling, and the outcome of my decisions become the determinant of whether to be happy or sad though  some people still don't care at the end of the day because they already made a decision not to allow the outcome of their gambling decisions affect or drive their mode at any time or moment..

I myself can't remember when last a lost to betting or gambling had any negative vibe on my mood, like I became sad as a result of losing money to gambling, and this is because I resolved to treat every game I play or bet placed as a fun activity, and even when I place bets expecting to win and at the end of the day it doesn't, I still don't allow that affect my mode because I am always careful enough to only risk as much as I can comfortably lose.

I think if their goal is to make a profit, then they will definitely enjoy it, whether it be through the course of the game or the profits they earn. This is just my opinion, because everyone has their own perceptions and views.
Most people who gamble do so for profit, so the profits they earn should make them happy, even if they are not satisfied because the amount of profit is still relatively low.

Yes I can relate to it from when I used to play poker. For me, it was like a job, not a main 9-to-5 job, but rather a part-time side job. Although it's impossible for the results not to affect your emotions at all, I tried to let them affect me as little as possible. It's the only way to stay profitable in the long run.

I`m not gambling man. I`m in gambling mostly for profit. And for me doesn`t matter if i made prediction myself or i use someone`s prediction. I even was in prediction group for some period and shared profit with owner for predictions. And when i win i get more emotions if the odds are high than if i made my own correct prediction.
But of course all of us differs, someone would be more satisfied with his own results.
