[SuperBitMan]

Some gamblers usually start gambling just for fun however, as they continue gambling and starts winning and making Money from it they slowly transition into gambling for income and not for fun anymore without even realizing it.

It usually starts like this at first, they think and say:

“I’m just gambling for fun nothing more.”

But after they have won or after a few wins there thinking change to:

“Maybe I can actually make more steady money from this gambling.”

And after they start losing back to back, they start thinking or saying:

“I just need few big win to recover all the money I have lost.”

And this is how they starts gambling for income and not for fun anymore.

No one can continue to win while gambling, there will be some losses while there will be some winnings. But the illustration that you used is correct which can make some gamblers later turn gambling to a means of making money and which would be the start of losses for the person. I know of a guy that consecutively won 10x two times in gambling which made him to start using higher amount of money. The person lost almost all the money and the money did not belong to him.

Those entertainment usually stop once the gambler start to depend their bills on the profits they get from gambling, this is really risky and stressful part because they might get totally broke if they lose their money on wrong betting decision made.

Fun part on gambling if those gamblers can easily walk away after spending few bucks without getting affected on whatever result they get. So best to choose or decide what's best since gambling could be good source of entertainment or huge risk if they over expect something on it.

For many years, I set myself the goal of making money through gambling. It was so naive and stupid that I still can't believe it. What was I thinking, and what made me think that way? I had several large wins before. Most likely, it was them that led to this conclusion. And all of this only led me to financial ruin. I still shudder at the thought of being heavily in debt due to gambling. It's even scary to remember that difficult period of my life.

At this point still from you writeup

“Maybe I can actually make more steady money from this gambling.”

The gambler in about making it a source of livelihood and at this point the fun disappears, discipline are removed and the gambler is about going all in. this have deeper consequences because the gambler tends to loose interest in other productive aspects of his life since gambling as a source of income can be so addicting. Of course many of them end up very disappointed and frustrated at the end, so it is always advisable to treat gambling as a form of entertainment and not a source of income.

Many gamblers start gambling for fun and still consider it a fun activity and for them it doesn't matter if they win or lose, they just enjoy the games. But, it's also true that even if those gamblers win they become happy and if they lose they somehow lose that happiness but such gamblers never gamble for money, they always gamble for fun.

There're those gamblers as well who say we gamble for fun but in actual they're not into gaming for fun but for money and those are also not bad gamblers either because they gamble with limits and gamble to test out their luck. Such gamblers don't take high risks and they often win their bets, but those who only gamble with hope to get rich are the ones who get addicted to it, and we all know that addicts continue losing money in gambling, and they continue chasing their losses.

Gambling can never be a sustainable source of income, but it can always be a reliable source of fun. So if you think you are now seeing it as a financial dependence, think again, maybe you're just blinded by your current profits, without realizing that tomorrow or the next days will be all about losses.

However, while this transition could be absolutely possible, but know in the end that gambling often end up in desperation phase wherein you are no longer gambling as a hobby but gambling as a desperate financial strategy.

There has to be a reason why someone will choose to gamble for fun or gamble for profit. If they transition from one to the other, it has to be a reason also.
First, those gambling for fun can be identified as those who are financially buoyant that whether they lose, it doesn't affect their finances most slightly. Someone who needs money cannot comfortably gamble for fun because it will get to the point where that transition comes in. And the reason for the transaction is simply because they are in need of money.

The truth is that, once the game turn to a financial backup, desperation takes over, as they won't sustain or observe to gamble within their budget, and this won't end up in a pleasant way, as there is no fun in it again and controlling their emotions will be a tough one on them, as they will engage into reckless gambling, which will stress them and put them more in a pressure situation because the whole thing has changed and they are just chasing up their losses.

And after they start losing back to back, they start thinking or saying:

“I just need few big win to recover all the money I have lost.”

This has caused more gamblers to loss a lot of money the thought of trying to win back all they have lost and on the process they will be more addicted and never even win back all they have lost. This thought of trying to win back the money I have lost has also come to me the moment I keep gambling the more i keep losing and if i win it can't be compared to that which i have lost.

It depends on the definition of gambling for fun, because for me, I can still gamble for fun while also trying to develop my skills to become profitable in the long run.

I think there is nothing wrong with that as long as a gambler knows how to control himself. I actually find it fun when I challenge myself and track my record because that is being realistic to me.

I know my wins and losses, and not many gamblers are able to do that or even have a plan to do that.

Discipline is what can help them to be in a better side, whereas they won't be affected negatively by any forms of irresponsible gambling, that's why people are advised to treat gambling as entertainment purposes and not a source of income, insisting to go against the rules can result to pains and can also affect their health, as frustration and disaster will step in, and if they are not being careful enough, their frustration will end them up being addicted to the game.

On my part, gambling never stops as a source of entertainment, however, it only gets more fun whenever I'm also earning while gambling. I think that made me led to focus more on gambling not just to have fun but definitely, to make a living.

At first, its was good and satisfying, and exciting every time I'm gambling. But when gambling turns into constant losing and fun is no longer there, that's when I realized that gambling for income will never be possible for long. But it could offer us an endless source of fun, we just have to set our limits in gambling, and treat it as more of a hobby that brings entertainment than a reliable source of income.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

When a gambler starts risking a high amount that is far above the amount they they would afford to have fun with, then it means they are no longer gambling for entertainment but rather for financial benefits alone, if someone actually wants to gamble for the sake of the profit and entertainment, they can do so with the money they can afford to lose but when the only purpose is for financial dependency, it become clear that the person will most likely risk a huge amount to gain more.

[Livingleged]

The problem is every gambler claim to gamble responsibly until the losses are no longer bearable and emotions take charge. If you’re lucky with your first few trials and you record few loses then it becomes fun, but if you’re not lucky enough to and you made more losses thats when you start gambling to recover loses, then you’ll be in a state that you’re not so careful you’ll lose your mind. To me every gambler is gambling because he aim at making money from it, it’s no longer fun when dont win.

Now I have a question I will like us to discuss about too, At what point do you think gambling stops being entertainment

When you are already losing way above your budget, that is the time it becomes a real problem because it will already affect your finances, and that is not fun anymore.
Entertainment means you are paying for something to enjoy. In our case, as gamblers, we pay for the experience and we accept that we can lose, but it should always be money we can afford to lose only. That is the rule we should stay with, because once we go beyond that, gambling is no longer entertainment, it becomes a burden.

and starts becoming financial dependence?

If it is financial dependence and you are really making money from it, then maybe that is good.
But if you only think it is financial dependence while you are actually losing, then that is already delusional.

There is a big difference between earning from gambling and just convincing yourself that gambling is a source of income, even when the result keeps showing the opposite.

[michellee]

They will make a mistake if they deciding to make money from gambling as their wins happens because of their luck and not happens many times so they can't rely on gambling.

But winning from gambling tempting people to continue gambling and becoming a new habit so they will think that making money from gambling is easy because their winning before.

And if they decide that, it will just a matter of time to see the losing comes and that can makes to keep playing and also addicted to gambling.

In my opinion, that change in situation can occur when the gambling activities start to increase. What used to happen only on weekends and free time to have fun after working, now happens more often and possibly gambling every day. I think that is the first indication of a gambler starting to see gambling as a way to make money. Perhaps as a gambler, one would not realize this change.

[Hatchy]

And this is how they starts gambling for income and not for fun anymore.

Sometimes our actions can be controlled by a lot of factors and when it comes to gambling, we can let predict even our own emotions during wins or during losses..it's very easy for anyone to tell themselves that they only want to gamble for the fun or it  but what happens when the fun slowly turns into frustration? You see yourself gambling to recover your losses. This Is when you get past your boundaries, the same one you've set for yourself to stay in check. Not just losses could make be like that, even win of course. After a good consequetive amount of wins we might get greedy. Greed is one thing that alot of us as gamblers are yet to over come. We find ourselves hoping to get more l, when we should be taking what we have and be satisfied..

Untill you've won in gambling, you will never know the possibility that's associated with gambling and will be in total control of your gambling. Once you start winning and it becomes something that happens a bit frequently, it's going to paint a narrative though false that gives you the impression that you will likely continue winning on and on and if care isn't taking, you might take it to the next level and then the casino starts controlling instead of the reverse being the case where you're in control of your gambling.

It's possible to make real money off gambling because it's not something you should ever position your mind to always earning directly via it. Once you change the probable nature of gambling into something that now looks like a certainty, you will eventually get to start loosing far more than you're winning. Gambling has always been a game of luck. There's nothing certain about the outcome and it's definitely not a source of income that a gambler should consider depending on.
