Are we really telling ourselves the truth when we always said we gamble for fun.

[terrific]

You should prevents the desire to win as that is difficult. That makes you difficult to enjoy gambling for fun. Your minds will telling you chasing the wins but no guarantee you winning.

We can find ways to enjoy gambling even if we're starting to see how difficult it is to win. But for someone who mainly focuses on profit.
That's hard to be seen because what's on their mind is not about enjoying the games but about potentially winning the games.
And as the potential winning is being thought of, that also means that we are for the profit and there's no need to deny that.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

It's really possible that some person started with gambling for fun but as time goes on they decide to try new strategies which might also means spending more time gambling to test those strategies and before you know it they start getting addicted and try to chase those loses they've had. Meanwhile some persons can start off for fun and still go along with that same motive, my idea of gamble hasn't changed for the past 4 years even though I might have compromised some believe before that time, now gamble is just an entertainment to me.

Yea, gambling is very addictive that's why it's possible that some people that started gambling for fun ends up becoming addicted because on the process, their mind always try to make them believe that they can just become rich quick through gambling and at such, they start assuming strategies and trying it out. Although whether some people gamble for fun or for any other reason, it doesn't mean that they don't enjoy winning.

When we all say that we participate in gambling for fun, we are basically lying in most cases. I mainly participate in gambling mainly for income. When everyone participates for fun, why do they regret it in public space when they lose in gambling? At times, a percentage of people may target entertainment in their gambling, but in most cases, they participate in gambling not for entertainment but for the purpose of earning money. But they come here and basically introduce themselves as a special gambler and advertise that their main purpose in gambling is entertainment.

[Muba20]

Either we like it or not, gambling is all about fun and we can avoid this entertainment benefits from it, even though when we have a wrong perspective to how gambling should be done, and we still find ourselves in the expectation that we should end from gambling and desperate all this, we couldn't achieve any as we expect, but never still give up upon gambling because it has been entertaining to us even when we are more focused on other aspect of it.

It may be an entertainment or fun for you but it is not an entertainment or fun for me because something that is entertaining should not  make someone feel depress and bad when there is a loss. Someone might say that, the reason you feel depress is because you used what you can not afford to lose but that is not true yes. There are time you will  use what you can afford to lose and you will still feel bad after incurring loss. I gamble to make money not actually for entertainment.

Your words are true. Most gamblers gamble to earn money. But there are some who are interested in earning money but do not have much desire even if they do not get it. The number of such gamblers is certainly not large. I gamble and see it as fun because even if I win in gambling, I do not spend that money on any important work because if I continue to do it, then my greed for getting more money from gambling can work which can make me addicted to gambling at some point. Although I sometimes have a strong desire to win in gambling, I try to control myself.

Whether quick or slow, short term or long, having that mindset that gambling can make you rich alone has its own disadvantages as this is capable of altering your mindset and approach from the way a gambler should approach gambling normally to something else that wouldn’t help that course. The best thing would be to completely eliminate the mindset of becoming rich by is gambling by all means and just stick to the entertainment part.

The reason to why you gamble is enough to push you towards addiction. Addiction does not look face, it will come when you least expect it. Addiction is a silent sickness, it gradually make you feel you are doing the right thing. The moment you realize, it has become worst than the way it started. It takes a lot of energy, discipline to come out of addiction. The funny thing is that, most person think gambling for fun cannot get you addicted. Meanwhile what you do for fun as a habit is easily to be addicted to.

[irhact]

A lot of people say that they gamble for fun but deep inside them, they're gambling for profit and they see gambling as a side hustle. They even go as far as gambling with the amount of money that they cannot afford to lose because they want to win by all means. I was addicted in the past and I know what I'm saying. It's a good thing if you can discipline yourself and gamble responsible. I gamble for both but profit do disappoint me.

That's the reality of the world we are now in the cost of living have made almost all individuals to now have multiple source of income because they cannot maintain their lifestyle we just want source of income. Most individuals are now gambling and since they have no experience before they are now becoming addicted, they claim that they can be gambling for fun but in their  heart they know that what they are doing is they are trying to make more money so they can assist whatever they are doing that is giving them money already.

Well, think it will be more appropriate to speak for yourself alone and don't speak for other people, reason being that you only know yourself, you don't know others, you are not in my mind, so you have absolutely no idea whether or not I am lying when I say that I gamble mainly for entertainment..

This is a public online forum where every one is as free as a bird to say whatever they like without any fear of being censored or punished in any way, if I am gambling for money, then why should I lie that I am gambling for fun when no one is going to flog or even hate me for gambling for money? This is something I think most of you people should always think about before coming up with comments like this, if a person says that he's main reason for gambling is to have fun, don't call him a liar because you do not see or even know him physically to tell of a truth whether he is lying or not.

The reason as to why many of these people gamble is that they say they do it as a hobby. but the reality is sometimes otherwise. Though there are those who truly have fun with the entertainment part. there are numerous others who do it due to the prospect of earning some money even without necessarily declaring it. This is why we feel remorse or disappointment when we lose. because it was not all about having fun. Gamblers can be seen as either casual or responsible gamblers in gambling circles but secretly. money is usually a significant reason as to why they are in the gambling circles.

Not everyone who says they gamble for fun are lying.Some of them are actually gambling for fun but of course it’s inevitable to feel a little regret sometimes. They just don’t take it as seriously as others who gamble for profit.

[SquallLeonhart]

there is indeed too much disappointments for those who expect to win big from gambling, this used to be my experience as well some 2 to 3 years ago when I gambled majorly for money but never got it most of the time, I find myself angry and disappointed and sometimes, I end up transfering the aggression to other people around me which I always ended up regretting at the end of the day.

But after one experience I had in 2022, my perspective on gambling changed for ever and I forced myself to learn to gamble for fun and nothing more, and so far, the experience has been good because I started being a happier person regardless of whatever outcome I get from gambling. One can only be disappointed in something they expect something from which they ended  up not getting, but when one participate in an activity and they expect nothing from that activity, they are happy regardless of whatever the experience is with that activity.

This happens to all of us. I remember in early days of bitcoin, when the only place to gamble was satoshidice, I did wager there too, and it took a while to get the result back, and I expected it to be a win all the time. I lost literally 4 bitcoins there, and when you look at that today, it's such a huge number. But to be fair, if it reached 100 dollars I would have sold it already, not like it was something I would keep until now, so to be fair I would never consider that as a possibility.

One thing is true though, I did lose a lot back in the day and got angry and disappointed and that is how I became the gambler I am today. Now I do not lose anything more than I can afford and way wiser, that's how I grew.

[OsaiEmma]

Let's all be honest here, if at all people gamble for fun, it probably is because they like that particular game, and not because it is gambling. Nobody likes loosing money, there is absolutely no fun in that, so if someone comes and say I play poker, rollet, dice, blackjack, or slot just for fun, that's considerate, but I don't believe when people say I gamble just for fun.

When we do play football either on the street or on the pitch(locally) sometimes we gamble and bet, we do not gamble for fun, but we gamble on the fun. When it comes to sports betting, I don't see that as gambling for fun at all, I mean, u can just predict games and tell your friends, and when it goes accordingly, u can brag about it to them, I do that sometimes when I don't want to gamble. But the moment you place a bet on them, you're going in to make money, let's not decide ourselves.

[Agathamay]

This days many folks has joined the gambling system without looking back, the rate of gamblers are increasing on a daily basis and the most craziest part is that not everyone of them has a genuine intentions, some are just doing it for the fun, some came in quest for quick success, some do it for short term profit, many people with many options.

However, seeing all these latest happenings have made me thought of bringing this topic for the members of this house to look into it. Nobody will aggry to the fact that they gamble for any of those crazy reasons stated above, they we all say they do it for the fun, so what's your purpose of gambling? are you really doing it for the fun or you are just among those that are doing something else and hiding under the umbrella of doing it for the fun. What is your opinion

Do I need to be ashamed to openly say I'm gambling to make the money ?
If casinos and bookies aren't shy to take my losses, why then should I shy away from the fact that I need the winnings that's why I'm gambling because for real, if I'm gambling then is because I do need the money because no one should expect someone in their right state of mind and sense so risk money on gambling with total claims of fun and if that's true then they should never be interested in winning or better still when they win, they should simply pass the winning to those who might need the money around them by then.

In conclusion, the game is more fun to me when I make more win and I see no reason to think I am having fun in gambling when I'm losing, so I guess the fun in gambling people always talk about it the winnings they get after playing.

[knuckey]

In fact, it's for fun, but some people are actually just looking for money here. You don't need to pay too much attention to this, because everyone has their own reasons, even if they lie, they also understand why they have to lie for that. Gambling for fun doesn't mean you have to always have fun in every game. What I get from the joy of gambling is about releasing fatigue after a day's work or other tiring activities in the real world.

[Cryptmuster]

Every player's gambling journey begins differently, but I think everyone initially wants to make money through gambling or at least believes it can provide an additional source of income. But when you realize how complex gambling is and how difficult it is to win, these illusions about making money disappear.

And for most players, gambling becomes a game of entertainment. For those players who can control themselves and adhere to basic rules, gambling doesn't become an activity that only takes money. Playing for fun doesn't mean simply betting on anything. It still means analyzing each match and being disciplined. Because if you simply place random bets, it will turn into a series of endless losses.

As long as you can control yourself in gambling, it remains a game for fun. But as soon as it becomes an attempt to win back money, the fun ends and it becomes a trap, where the player tries to win back the money they've already lost. In my opinion, this is one of the biggest mistakes a gambler can make. If you've lost money gambling, forget about it. You were originally supposed to gamble only with money you could afford to lose. If you're trying to win back what you've lost, you're already trapped.

Maybe if you say gambling is fun then what will happen to you when you are trying to make money from gambling and you are not getting any result for it? Gambling can be seen as fun when you are making money from it. At least you need to be seeing results before you started thinking that gambling is fun. Some gmablers do make the mistake of trying to make quick money from betting while still thinking that they are gambling for the fun.

What is your opinion

When I first started gambling, I used to bet on various sports matches offline with my friends and used very little money there. We participated there only for entertainment. We never gambled to make money. Then, when I started learning about online gambling, I have been using gambling as entertainment and have never tried to make money from gambling. I always use very little money for gambling and participate in gambling for entertainment in my free time. Moreover, I have no addiction to making money from gambling and I never think that I will make myself rich in a short time through gambling.

Like I always say, I usually don't see any reason why anybody should be laying about the reason what they gamble, as a matter of fact, it's a free world out here and anybody is free to do whatever he or she likes for whatever reason they are comfortable with..

Like myself for example, I've gambled solely for money in the past, and it made me get myself into serious financial mistake that lead into into serious debt, I managed to come out from that debt and I personally resolved that I will never depend on gambling for money any more, or even be foolish as borrowing money to place bets I am not sure will win, I resolved to gamble only to have fun from then on and so far, this has been one of the best decisions I've ever made when it comes to gambling, I can't lie that I don't gamble for fun for what ever reason because I realized that no matter what we do. Those that will like us will while those that will hate will too.

I believe that it is not entirely accurate to say that we play to have fun. To most of the individuals fun is the beginning of it all but the love to win cash is always in the background. It does not always involve lying, rather. it is the means to make the activity right to us. I understand that each of us has his/her reasons. and not all of them are well understood. Gambling can be merely a form of relaxation after a hard day but as soon as it ceases to be fun. it begins to feel like a burden and then the object has already been transformed.

People say that they gamble to have fun and everything is ok. however this is not always the case. Although it can start off as a mere form of entertainment. such as the betting of a little money among friends. the idea may eventually evolve. Others can become serious in anticipating profits, pursuing losses. or gambling their luck. although they might not express this publicly. In yours in order to be disciplined and in control. small bets and gambling as an activity worth having fun with can be a good discipline. Nevertheless it is never bad to take a sincere look into our motives. Once gambling no longer becomes fun when people lose. then it might not be entirely fun anymore but be motivated by other ulterior motives.
