Is the main purpose of gambling just profit or excitement?

[Donk1]

Well as humans we try as much as possible to give ourselves false reasons why we do certain things. Most folks tell themselves that they are gambling for fun just to avoid getting emotional after a loss, which can cause aggressive gambling or irrational gambling. Though this doesn't apply to everyone even at that, some do it to avoid getting addicted. Best to say when it comes down to it, every gambler plays for the profit but that outcome isn't certain, as such you might end up in a loss.That said the mindset of not being satisfied with what you have isn't applicable to just gambling. Basically as humans we tend to push further in search for more it's more like an endless desire. Still when it comes to gambling, that mindset is very wrong, as it calls for addiction. Best to say gambling has no real value, as such it should be treated as a game even if your money is on the line. Basically we all are aware of the saying risk what you can afford to lose. That's all.

This is a common question that you should also already have an answer for as to why you gamble. I gamble to make a profit from betting. Of course, it’s not always profitable, but I know the risks. I like the way I gamble and actually don’t need any other reason why I keep gambling. The same goes for you, do you still keep gambling even though you keep losing?

Only that it’s not a question that has a universal answer for that question. I’m pretty sure this question has been asked and even answered more times than I can remember, and it beats me that people still keep on asking it.

Just like I always answer, every gambler has different expectations from gambling, for some, it’s all about the fun, and for others, it’s all about the fun, and for others it’s all about the profit, it could even be both for some, and I don’t think it really matters much anymore, as long as it’s been done moderately and responsibly, that’s all that matters.

Are you also a gambler? Then what is your purpose?
There is no gambler who deliberately gambles beyond their reasonable limits. But you certainly know that there are quite a number of gamblers who end up getting carried away with the gambling they do. Some give up because they have lost too much. Others become addicted and continue gambling.
Gambling for fun or for profit is actually not the reason why gamblers become like that. Knowledge is also important for a gambler. Gambling is not just about seeking pleasure from luck.

These issues have been swirling in my mind for a long time, that is why I created the topic, if this related topic has been created before, then I am sorry.

Maybe in this forum we often hear people say they gamble just to have fun (entertainment) and there are also those who say they gamble for financial gain, so there we can understand the main purpose of gambling, Maybe it can be said that overall it can be considered very varied depending on people's main purpose for gambling.

But in essence, I think that most people gamble purely for financial pursuits, even though we can only see the facts that happen in the field, the world of gambling always benefits the bookie.
But you need to understand that even though the two things I said above are the main purpose of gambling, someone who gambles can also be influenced by other factors such as social status, environment, looking for challenges, emotional escape and so on.

If we look at each one, then everyone's goal and thinking are different. If we talk about the majority, then the main goal of people is to earn profit. Because the way people play with such and such a big trick is that their goal is to get a good amount of money. Gambling is not just profit, some people also come to give their feelings peace, but the end result is only two wins or losses. Therefore, we can also see it on profit. Those who play with passion also aim to earn profit because you and other people will not want to waste their money without any purpose. Therefore, whoever plays so much gambling wants to earn more money with more money so that they can add a lot of money. Because it has created in the minds of people the idea of ​​increasing money more, therefore people come here in the greed of double money.

Gambling for fun or for profit is actually not the reason why gamblers become like that. Knowledge is also important for a gambler. Gambling is not just about seeking pleasure from luck.

Yes I’m a gambler, and I think I fall under the type of gamblers that gamble for fun and profit, depending on my mood for that that, sometimes when I need some extra cash, I may try out my luck to see if it favors me, and sometimes when I just wanna unwind, I also hit my screen to gamble, so it kinda depends on my mood that that.

At some point, gambling actually became less about the entertainment for me and more about the money so when I gamble then, I know it’s just all about the money, but I was still mindful of my limits, sometimes I act foolishly and exceed them, and some of those times, I either pay for it or get rewarded for it, but now, I actually started enjoying the game again and it helps me stay on track. I can’t say I’ve experienced what it means to be addicted to gambling but I know people who’ve been there and it’s not somewhere I’d wanna be

[cryptoaddictchie]

So from here I want to know whether the main purpose of this gambling is actually excitement or pleasure or profit.

Well youll find different response with this question cause everyone has varied goals when it comes to gambling. Just like me when I am going to casino house, my main goal is actually to play and have fun the losses or profit didnt matter much as long as I have my relaxation and ease my boredom. Im not gonna sugarcoat that a profit is a must but whether I loss my emotional level didnt take it that much cause I went there to have fun. But when I am doing online casino or maybe slot via casino sites my goal is simply to win.

Very true, most people say they gamble for fun, yet they still want to make money from gambling. That is why it is difficult for them to control themselves when they lose their bets. But if gamblers are really gambling for fun, they won't stake money they can't afford to lose. Doing so shows that one understand gambling fun really means and is practising responsible gambling. Gambling should therefore be an action that speaks louder than words, rather than the other way around, so people can enjoy the game for what it is meant to be.

When gamblers gamble and share their gambling experiences after gambling, in many cases it can be understood that they are trying to explain that they gambled only for pleasure or excitement, but at the same time, when they lose instead of profit, they share those stories with disappointment.

I think beginning might have been mere curiosity. People often turn to gambling seeking bit of thrill and entertainment to break monotony of boring life. At that point, people no longer fight merely for sake of excitement. He wants to taste victory.

Dopamine that gets released in brain when profit lands in your pocket. That very greed become driving force. So you cannot claim that primary purpose of gambling is merely excitement while disregarding profit. That is nothing but foolishness.

[aioc]

These issues have been swirling in my mind for a long time, that is why I created the topic.

Because of the odds, your chances of making money from gambling are very slim and depend so much on luck. Yet it's in the human heart to take a chance for easy money; man's main purpose is to make a profit. Only responsible people will play for fun or excitement because they know that it's a big struggle trying to make money.
The gambling platforms are profit-generating platforms; they want you to play for fun, but they know in your heart you are going to play for profit.
So we can conclude that playing for profit is for those people who are deceived, that they can make profit from playing, and responsible players play for entertainment because they know the truth about gambling.

So from here I want to know whether the main purpose of this gambling is actually excitement or pleasure or profit.

There is also a habit among gamblers that even if they win, they cannot stop there or they cannot be satisfied with that profit, but they use more money and gamble more. Similarly, when they lose, they become more aggressive and gamble more. So here the issue is not limited to excitement or pleasure only, but the issue is completely related to profit or loss.
What are your thoughts on this?

Everyone according to what keeps them excited when gambling, but as for me what gives me joy and excitement when gambling is simply when I’m wining my bets and making profits from gambling. I don’t derive joy when I’m losing and I’m sure many others too won’t get excited in losing money through gambling. It’s easier to continue gambling when you’re winning than when you’re losing. The excitement comes from winning and making profits.

What are your thoughts on this?

Greed contributes to the reason why gamblers don't quit after winning. They just assume that they can win more if they keep playing. Those who become aggressive after losing may have probably gambled with amounts they cannot afford to lose.

I think beginning might have been mere curiosity. People often turn to gambling seeking bit of thrill and entertainment to break monotony of boring life. At that point, people no longer fight merely for sake of excitement. He wants to taste victory.

Dopamine that gets released in brain when profit lands in your pocket. That very greed become driving force. So you cannot claim that primary purpose of gambling is merely excitement while disregarding profit. That is nothing but foolishness.

Even those who claim to gamble absolutely for entertainment are not happy when they lose. Nobody wants to waste money on activities that entertain them. Every gambler expects to win regardless of their primary intentions. It's not wrong to play for profit. But it becomes a problem when it becomes an uncontrollable activity.

[Grace333]

Everyone that gambles have their preference, some people gamble to make profit and some gamble just for the fun of it but the problem with a lot of people is that they are in denial, they gamble for profit but they claim to gamble for entertainment or the excitement. There is nothing wrong about gambling to make profit as long as you are gambling responsibly, the only thing about this that is not right is when you start being overly obsessed with making profit which leads to gambling addiction and excessive losses in a lot of cases. It is possible to gamble for excitement and then gamble irresponsibly or become addicted to gambling.

In answering the question of what is the main purpose of gambling among gamblers. My personal opinion is that these three are as you said excitement- pleasure and profit. There may be some differences in the attitude of gamblers but the main purpose is to make a profit. Excitement and pleasure are created as a result of profit or loss. The expectation of winning can create a greedy attitude in gamblers. Gamblers have the expectation of winning but when they do not get the expected amount of winning, they develop a vengeful attitude or excitement. They bet more in the hope of recovery. When they make a profit, they bet more in the hope of getting more profit. In every case the main purpose of gamblers is to make a profit and this is true.

Yes I still gamble even when I lose, so to others gamblers the difference is in the amount stake and how you react to losing and winning, gambling is a personal thing if you make profit you keep it within yourself so as you lose, people should not notice your anger because you lose a bet, it's embarrassing,  share your glory with the people that bear your pains when you win.

The purpose of gambling is to double our money which is not guaranteed at tall, if you enter gambling to make profit is a good intention but you should be ready for bad day and how you handle your bad day is what we call self control.  Profit is rare in gambling but loses is a must, we lose everyday yet we keep gambling because we will make profit someday.

I do not think that everyone gambles purely for profit. There are many who enjoy gambling and know they are going to lose some money. However, if they stop seeing it as enjoyable activity then they will want to get their money back if they lose. If they win they will feel they can win more. They will continue to play.

This is where gambling can become problem. As they started for enjoyment greed can kick in and they will want to get their money back.

Profit is indeed a rare but occasional feature that every gambler must experience in gambling because it is for most, the essence or the purpose of gambling.
Even for those who gambling is just for fun or entertainment, the end goal in the back of their mind is to make profit no matter how small even if it is a cashout offer that is more than their original stake amount.

Every gambler is faced with opposition in the form of the house edge, the mentality after losing and the wagering requirements in many cases. So it is important to win even if it is once in 10 tries to have a relaxed and controlled emotional state as a gambler.

It all depends on what really brought you to gambling, because a gambler that came only because of fun will always have his fun even though he loses all his money, but a gambler that came with the intention of making money will never be pleased with his gambling activity as long as he did not make what he wanted.  Sometimes this gamblers uses gambling for fun as a camouflage to their real intention because majority of gamblers in the world today are only gambling to make money not for fun purposes as they may claim, that's why they will always feels disappointed once their bet did not play out as planned.

[HelliumZ]

One of the main purposes of gambling is to make a profit and if a survey is conducted among 100 gamblers, then 90 of them participate in gambling only for profit. The remaining ten may participate for entertainment but that may not last long. Initially, many participate only for entertainment, but gradually gambling is not entertainment for them but finally they also participate in gambling for profit. Many people dream of building their future in gambling and even prioritize gambling as a source of income. And here a gambler makes his biggest mistake and because of this mistake he faces such a bad financial condition that he cannot easily recover from the situation.

It's always important to know that when it comes to making profit in gambling it's actually 50/50, you might actually win or lose. You can gamble to make profit but you should not use it as a means to get a source of income. A lot of gamblers try to use gambling as a means to get consistent profit which is very wrong. It is important to take a break or stop when you are losing, gambling continuously only makes it worse because at that point in time you might be focused on chasing losses.

What are your thoughts on this?

I think from my perspective the reason behind entering in a gambling market for every person is different. Some people start gambling for fun because our brain releases chemicals during the bets also human brain love that what if game and a person sometimes addicted to that chemical as well  while some people start it for money and they want quick profits from market these are from those category that frustrated after a loss and want to recover there money.
