What are the major targets of those whom we called gambler?

[_act_]

I am from the group of people who see gambling as a form of entertainment alone.
I think we shouldn't gamble to make an income because its not sustainable in the long run.

Even in a short time, it is not sustainable. If you select 10 gamblers to start gambling, within a short period of time, 8 among them would have been losing if not 9 or all of them that is already losing. In long term, they would have lost more money.

The outcome is unpredictable which is why we should not rely on it for our survival.
It is one form of a trigger that will make us gamble more and might eventually make us a gambling addict.

The outcome of matches and games may not be very predictable but the outcome of the profit and loss is very predictable which is loss of money. The casinos have house edge, the booked have lower odds to take advantage of the gamblers to lose.

but then, you should know wether everyone around you is seeing gambling the way you doing?

In essence, we all understand that in gambling there is money that is hidden and must be taken by playing the game, well, between money and games is what makes gamblers' minds mixed between fun, entertainment or getting money.

I personally understand that gambling is true, where I risk my money to get more than what I bet, meaning I gamble for money, not for entertainment and so on. For me, gambling is not entertainment but a game that must be won with money.

Do Tell me what is your purpose for gambling?

I have two very specific purposes, they are distinct and separate but they convey a single objective.
The goal is to try to win a significant win, enough to slow me down at work and avoid stressful thoughts, all accompanied by healthy fun without financial commitments that affect the family economy.
To do this, I have a perfect vision of MY rules to follow and which I absolutely must NOT break, so as not to destroy the balance I have created.
Is this method profitable? NO
Is this method destructive? NO
It gives me a modicum of continuity and hope for a potential life-changing victory.

Everyone has their own purpose of gambling but the main purpose of gambling for the vast majority is to make money and not for the entertainment purpose. Even those that gamble for the entertainment purpose feel pained when they lose money in their bet, but they don’t show or take it up as those that gamble for the main purpose of profit making. Why we have a lot of gamblers today is because of the big incentives that comes with gambling, everyone wants to win big and hit a jackpot. Gamblers have different purpose as to why they gamble and it’s very important we respect everyone’s choice and hope they gamble responsibly.

[Joy- maker]

I agree with you that not everybody is seeing gambling the same way you and I are seeing it. There are people who see it as a means for making money, and there are also people who see it as a way to have fun or to get themselves entertained.

how other people see gambling doesn't really matter to me, because this is a free world. I can't force any one to see gambling the same way I see it, rather I can only offer some piece of advice to them, by telling them that gambling is not a means for making money nor means to get themselves out of poverty. Because gambling would cause them more harm than good if they see it as it means for making money.

gambling is just another form of entertainment nothing more than that. So let's play for fun or to entertain ourselves, wether we lose or win it shouldn't be our concer provided we are playing with an amount of money we can afford to lose, not otherwise. As for me I am not gambling with a purpose I gamble because, I want to gamble and not otherwise.

From the title everyone has their purpose or reason to gamble. my question is that are you really effecualising what they mean by targeting and purpose to gambling. Gambling is fine, and as a matter of facts many people are now seeing gambling as the  only way to make an income while there are other who are seeing gambling as an entertainment purposes.. but then, you should know wether everyone around you is seeing gambling the way you doing?

Do Tell me what is your purpose for gambling?

Entertainment and an occasional profit is nice. I would love to say I make a good living from gambling, but that's just not the case. I have good days and bad days like most of the rest of you. I need to practice what I preach and discipline myself on sportsbetting, but the parlays are just more fun to me.

[Vaculin]

People may gamble for different reasons, but everyone shares the main objective, to double the money and win bigger amount in the long run. Even when you're up for entertainment, still you wish to get lucky and win from your bets, because that's what a nature of a gambler is.

But I must say, that gambling casinos will never allow every gambler to win at a consistent basis, that would be against on the kind of business they have. Its okay to be hopeful and wish to win when gambling, but to lessen the risk, its better if we can see gambling as a good source of entertainment, rather than seeing it as a source of living, as it can never be a reliable and sustainable one.

[panjul07]

I'm not going to be hypocrite, my major target of my gambling habit is nothing else except for money.
I've said many times that I cant believe with those who claim that they are gambling merely for fun and entertainment.
Why they are willing to take a big risk of losing money just for fun? It does not make sense at all, I believe their major target is also for money but they do not want to hear others say something negatively about their gambling activity.

[Tungbulu]

Do Tell me what is your purpose for gambling?

I think believe there should be only one outright objective or purpose gamblers should have when they gamble, which is to be entertained. Most gamblers who approach gambling with a contrary motive often end up getting into gambling troubles. The only persons who can actually approach gambling with a profit making mindset are those who are actually pros and experienced, those who understands that winning is a game of luck and not really by their skills, so even if they experience losses, they’ll most likely take it in good fate and move on quickly.

[DPHOR]

It is very simple, if someone sees gambling as a way of earning income and the person will begin to lose than usual. Later if care is not taking, the person can advanced into a chronic gambling addiction which is not good at all.

Or just see it as fun and enjoy gambling by using low amount of money to gamble. Definitely I only see gambling for fun. Although, I try to make small amount of money from but if I lose all the money I am using to gamble, it is just 1% of my weekly income in total.

Yes for those who are receiving their income weekly, it's also good to use such amount for their weekly gambling than going extremely to use an amount that is extremely or exorbitant to them to gamble, with this, the ending results wouldn't be that encouraging at all at any point in Life. These are the reasons we must know our Left and right while gambling so that it would enable us to gamble consistency and even though we are losing it would so much relief stress to us.

[Ishicryptic]

We all have different purposes for gambling, even when a group of people gamble for the same reason, their levels of commitment won't be the same so I don't see how we can get an accurate targets of why people gamble. Right now my target for gambling is not to get rich through it or use it to occupy most of my time, my target is simply to enjoy myself by taking very small risks for fun. I can say that I gamble for fun with small amounts, if the amount becomes more than what I can comfortably loose then it will drive the fun away and becomes like a business. If the rate of winnings in gambling were very much I would have been gambling for money but it's not.

[terrific]

Do Tell me what is your purpose for gambling?

No need to sugarcoat any answer about this. I am in it for the money but I am not forgetting to have fun.
Any amount that's loss for me is considered as an enrollment fee for the enjoyment that it also provides me.
So, while it hurts to lose if we have that purpose to win the bets for the money. Don't forget that you have also enjoyed analyzing while studying your bets and to whom or which you'll place it.

From the title everyone has their purpose or reason to gamble. my question is that are you really effecualising what they mean by targeting and purpose to gambling. Gambling is fine, and as a matter of facts many people are now seeing gambling as the  only way to make an income while there are other who are seeing gambling as an entertainment purposes.. but then, you should know wether everyone around you is seeing gambling the way you doing

My direct response to this is that... I don't care how others around me figure gambling to be because I can not read their minds and they are probably not telling the truth of how treats gambling if for profits or entertainments because even those who are gambling for profits would claim they are playing for fun.
You will still hear them complains of loosing their bets like they had too much expectations in it which failed them.

But if we are to talk about the primary essence of gambling, then I will tell you that it was majorly for the fun and that is my own purpose of gambling which is why I only have to make budgets for it that at the end I don't regret anything.

Every gamblers has a purpose for gambling, some gambles for sound health, for fun, for money, for research purposes and others.

For me I gamble to entertain myself, what ever wins I get, I go on shopping, getting new things for myself, ice -  cream and others, but if the win is big, I put it into my investment or get a new investment for myself .

The recreation with the use of winnings indicates that we have really maintained power on our initial intention that is to gamble money. New things also help us to feel joy, or even to have a pleasant meal to rejoice in our good luck. Conversely, an intent to gamble bet on big and comfortable payoffs is a more adult and disciplined financial perspective. This is a field which assists us to develop a state of financial independence in which we cannot miss out on the fun in the feature of entertainment.

The goal is to spend time (relax, get distracted), but not just like that, but with a chance to unexpectedly win. If I fail to win (which I will in 99% of cases), it won't affect my mood in any way. Well, spending small amounts of money on it, of course. If I set myself the goal of winning at all costs, then the result will only be severe disappointment (this is already known from my experience).

As clearly stated by you everyone one has a specific reason why they gamble some gamble for fun, some gamble to survive while some gamble to save a life, while others are just gambling for entertainment and to have fun, I have seen where people gamble under duress, what I meant is that there was a friend of mine who was never a gambler but because his mother was on a sick bed in the hospital and he needed to raise money so he can foot her medical bills he had to use the little money with him to gamble and he was so lucky to have won the game and that's how he saved his mother's life, so people have different reasons why they gamble and in all some have no reasons for gambling they just want to gamble because others are gambling.

As for myself I gamble for profit making that's my reason for gambling and while gambling I gamble responsibly and never allow addiction to over shadow me in the process of gambling. In as much as we have many gamblers who just gambles, there must be a purpose for it.

[Bluedrem]

Gambling is definitely not a source of income. By source of income we mean where there is a stable source of income. But when a person gambles, he does not have a prior idea of whether he will lose or win money. Many times it is seen that a gambler keeps losing money in gambling for months and it is uncertain when he will win. In that case it will never work as a source of income. What I do when it comes to gambling is to divide it into small bets using discretionary income and play small amounts.

[Joeboy]

Ecclesiastes 8: 7 will say that no one knoweth what shall be... But then with gambling I sometimes prove that to not always be the case( not all time though), since I am able to make my predictions which sometimes happens to play out exactly as my predictions, In those rare occasions I feel entertained by my efforts, mostly happy, fulfilled and yeah lI also feel like a genius...

That just by the way though, so back to the OP question, well I could say that I mostly gamble as a form leisure activity, and so I do it in an occasional basis, like during those times I am less busy and just trying to cool off.... Sometimes I gamble for the monetary aspect but when doing that I ensure that the money I use is that which I can easily let go of since the outcome isn't always guaranteed...

[Mhizlove]

For me I will say when gambling you should know your limits, gambling might be for fun if it's being treated like entertainment and also I will prefer you use money that you can afford to lose but at the end, if seeing it as a way of getting steady money from it like income sort of a thing then that's where issues come in.

For me I will say that everyone has their own thoughts on gambling differently, the most important thing is that when gambling just be honest to yourself and make sure you don't let it control your decisions.
