Does gambling for fun mean you've no interest in profits?

[Ronsbit]

Gambling for fun does not mean one can not make profit in gambling but what it does is to zero your mind and thought away from making profit but if you gain profit, then you are lucky but the main aim is not to make players too depending on making profit while gambling because it would trigger an addictive desire to keep playing to make profit which could end in the player becoming a miserable gambler.

What about you, do you believe gambling for fun entails absence of desire to make profits?

Gambling for fun is more about someone who gambles but isn't really focused on needing to make a profit. They treat it more like entertainment. If they hit the jackpot, that's great, but if they don't, they can just completely stop and then play again when they're in the mood.
That doesn't mean they don't want profit. No matter what, a gambler still wants profit from their gambling, that's a normal, it's just that they don't go all out to chase it, like many gamblers do where they see gambling as a way to make some extra money, they prefer to treat it just for fun and not so seriously.

Yes obviously because gambling for fun is safe it is like some one paid for a movie or any fun activity. When some one start thinking about profit and loss then it becomes dangerous because it affect the mood also it forces a person to recover a loss in which a person loses more and more money. So that is why first of all if someone is vulnerable to losses he/she has to be stay away from gambling but if he want to start it for fun then thinking about profit is not a good way to think about just play in your limits manage the bank roll and do not think about the outcome.   

Gambling for fun is safe, not everyone can actually gamble for fun. Although some gambler start gambling for fun, when they win or lose, they no longer have the desire to gamble for fun. They either continue to gamble for more profit or to recover the money they lost. However, it can be said that even after making a profit from gambling for a while, the gambler starts gambling in the hope of making more profit. There are some gamblers who enjoy gambling even if it is for profit. They get pleasure from gambling, especially those who gamble under control. On the other hand, those who gamble without control are certainly unable to consider gambling as fun. They only give the highest importance to profit.

Well, I usually think about horse race betting, where a lot of millionaires come to see the race and bet on their profits. They all come for fun, right? But they are always trying to win their bets, and sometimes they are worried. If those millionaires who are playing for fun also want profits, then who are the other gamblers? The main purpose of gambling is profits, it's the main goal. Some want to control it, while others want it in a hurry and more, but still, they want profits. The rich can be happy if they win and are okay if they lose, but for others, if they lose, there would be no happiness, they always have to win to take the profits.

Gambling for fun does not mean one can not make a profit in gambling, but what it does is zero your mind and thoughts away from making a profit. If you profit, you are lucky, but the main aim isn't to make players too dependent on profit while gambling, because it can trigger an addictive desire to keep playing for profit, which could end with the player becoming a miserable gambler.

Most of us who have won something significant from gambling, we all won them when we least expected, but yes we stake the bet with such amount because we have the clear purposes of winning the big prize and for that we make room for the profits indirectly.

This can only be measured by the amount of winning you achieve from your games and how much you put on those games, especially now when you have the profit in mind and as a target.

We can gamble for two different reasons which is gambling for fun and also gambling for the profits.

I've said many times that gambling shouldn't be treated as a way to make money, but only as a PAID form of entertainment! That way, there will be fewer disappointments and problems in life.
 I always describe my attitude toward gambling as being like, for example, going to a restaurant where, sometimes, the chef might treat you to an extra dish, or refund you for one of the dishes you ordered, or the restaurant owner might raffle off a cash prize among the guests.
 But... ONLY SOMETIMES, and RANDOMLY. That's why going to this restaurant every day won't bring you any income, as some people expect....

This point always needs to be understood, but people never try to have this in mind, and it also always has different diversification in different regions, while education and living standards also having impact on people's mindsets. Few always want to have profit as a priority because they need this for their survival.

Many of those are having enough things and doing good; they always do things for entertainment because they are living a satisfied life, and they have never been in problems with the lack of money; they want to enjoy every moment, but it never works for all .In many countries, people always want to have extra money because their earnings never help them to have all the necessities in their lives, so they keep on risking in gambling as one of the means for survival, but it never works for them regularly.

This question reminds me of what my people normally say that there's no way you will put sugar in the mouth of a new Born baby that he or she will throw it out, of course even a new born baby recognizes the test of sugar. So what I'm trying to say is this, for the fact that people are gambling for fun doesn't mean they can't take profit when it comes. The rules that says gamble only for fun is just telling us that we shouldn't take gambling very serous like a source of income or something like that, but it seems most people are not getting it correctly just like this question that op is asking now it means that op is a bit confused about the rules but that's just it.

[leonair]

It seems to me like a slogan for gambling entertainment. Because everyone has emotions towards money, I don't think it's possible for someone to just use money for gambling but not look for any benefits there and just do entertainment. People get involved in gambling for money. Everyone takes risks and tests their luck, and while gambling, they develop a confidence that they can win if they gamble. Every time they lose, they go back because their attitude is to recover the loss. I think this saying "I gamble only for entertainment" is emotional. It's never serious.

Those who have not a desire for fun they will definitely care for profits. I also said as well that there are two types of people in gambling also for fun and for profits depends on the games as well like in a roulette or other fast games and online betting apps people will usually doing it for fun but I think in sports betting majority of them will think about profit and loss.

When I’m gambling for fun there is always that hope that you’re going to hit the big one and cash out millions. I have no interest in trying to profit small amounts with every gambling session though. It is just a form of entertainment I’m paying for, but part of that entertainment is the dream of hitting a life changing win.

[Bryan jessy]

It seems some persons uses this word "I am gambling for fun " to cover up their grievance whenever they incur loses and pretending not to be bothered while deep down they are feeling terrible. All this features Op mentioned is an attribute a responsible gambler should possess, it is different from a person who claims to be gambling just for fun, there are things that can be regarded as fun but not gambling in this aspect, of course gambling is a fun game but aside the fun part of it the sole aim of gamblers is to make profit and as a person wins the higher the drive to keep playing.

If you are having fun losing in gambling then that is the right definition as seeking profit might not make you happy. lol

Seriously, who would gamble without aiming for profit, that profit for me is the definition of fun.

Yes, in fact, those who gamble for fun still have fun even if they lose in gambling and one of the reasons for their fun is that they use a very small amount of money on the gambling platform and they spend it for gambling and having fun and if that money is lost, they do not regret it, but if they win in gambling, maybe that joy is even greater.

Everyone has the hope of making a profit, but when they gamble for entertainment, they use a very small amount of money. If they win, they win that small amount of money. But here the hope of making a profit is created for entertainment.

Make sure you don’t have plans for the amount which you havent won yet. Some people will start thinking about things to buy when they win a bet, it’s completely wrong, because you will end up getting disappointed frequently which is going to make you do some things which you are not suppose to do. Before you start planning about things which you are going to do, make sure the bet has been won first, any bet that has not been won isnt your own yet. If you are gambling for fun, you going to have peace of mind, but immediately you start chasing money as a gambler, then you are causing problem for yourself.

If we consider the psychological processes that underlie gambling, we can reveal a rather complex mechanism of protection. People usually think that gambling is just entertainment, means of coping with the stress that comes with losing money. It is true that gambling gives one brief feeling of pleasure while the ball is spinning, but what everyone who is putting bets aims at is winning as much as possible. Constant wins definitely stimulate the production of the hormone of pleasure, which makes people gamble even more in order to feel the same pleasure again. Truly mature person doesn’t gamble for the sake of amusement but knows his limits and control himself in order not to get involved in gambling addiction.

[Zaka1221]

The reason why most of us find ourselves gambling today is to make a little profit, no matter how little it is. I don't think anyone would be involved in gambling without having the desire to win, even though they are gambling for fun. There will be a time when winning comes to mind, and when that doesn't happen, it might force the person to begin to chase after winning by all means to prove they can win and analyze games properly, that's why addiction comes in, for someone who started gambling for fun at first ended up as an addicted gambler.

Everyone is not gambling for making profit because it's always had enough of the mindset of people and their needs; many always want to enjoy this for entertainment purposes because they feel it's also good for enjoyment and a win will increase their enjoyment.
People who are having issues in finances always try to change their luck through gambling, even if it never works for them because it's risky and never gives enough favor to gamblers, but they always keep trying and never give up till they are having a terrible end to their desire and life.
Understanding of gambling risk and its consequences is always important with his people, who can do much better and also cover their losses because it also gives enough stress in life in case of failure.

[348Judah]

We don't have to win until we become profitable in gambling before we realize some of its benefits. It has been serving that you got entertainment and Gamble by having fun shows that you make the use of your time more wisely to something meaningful, which is profitable to you because you satisfy your desire to gamble, as everything concerning pleasure in gambling does not end in winning.

[CucakRowo]

Everyone wants to experience that thrill of winning, it’s built right into system. Calling it just for fun doesn’t mean that desire for profit has disappeared. This mean you have accepted house edge as  cost of entertainment. And you do not go on any frantic, desperate pursuit to recover your loss after experiencing one.

Conscious thing is even after your bankroll is gone, you still view session as paid entertainment. Or end up turning this into any unpaid second job just to break even.

Just like I what I usually tell people the word for fun is a way of making people feel good ,word are used differently from what they feel ,so it's easy said than done , many who say they gamble for fun are there looking for profit , recently I have been trying out different Casion games ,and lucky enough I won something,the feeling was out of the world ,I had to stop at that point, to continue the next day before I exhaust the one I made , but the profit I got actually made my whole day ,no one deposit money just to waste it ,there is always an alternative, which is winning and that gives so much joy , so despite the fact many says they gamble for fun ,trust me they are also working hard for profit.

For me "gambling for fun" doesn't mean you don't care about making a profit, nobody goes into a casino hoping to lose. The desire to win is what creates the excitement in the first place. The real difference is how serious you take it and who stays in control.
Fun gambling means trying to make a profit without depending on it. If you win, great. If you lose your session budget, you close the tab, accept it as the cost of entertainment and move on. The moment you take it too seriously and start chasing losses, you lose control and the casino takes over. Keeping it light is what keeps it fun.

This is true, people don't treat or use words the way they are being presented. We tend to use words differently, but I believe there are people who are using this words properly that is why no matter how long they stayed in this gambling space you can't see them misbehaving as most gamblers once started with having fun but at time goes on they switched from gambling for fun and start chasing profit.

The truth is even though a person is gambling for fun they will surely have interest in profit rather, they may not take it serous like those whose sole purpose of Gambling is just to make profit.
