Gambling: for fun or to earn money?

This is actually based on our own understanding about gambling whether we gamble for entertainment purposes or we gamble because we want to earn money from it through luck.

Many have chosen gambling as a source of income. Because cash can be earned from here, if you are experienced in gambling then you can definitely get huge benefits. As an experienced gambler in cricket and football games these days you can win. Because in these games, if you gamble on the stronger team, you will surely win.

Unfortunately, as per my experienced of being a gambler, I don't think that gambling will should be treated as a source of income. It has a lot of risk, even in sports betting, you are not sure that you are going to win even if you bet 1.01 odds. And so much with luck base games like slot machines, dice, and roulette. So it won't be like a job and treat it a something  that you can do to put food in the table for your family 24x7x365.

Not saying that gambling is bad, it's that we should get a regular job for us because that is more sustainable that relying on bitcoin per se to bring money for you. Although there are professional gamblers like poker players, I think those individuals took time and money as well to sharpen their skills to become pro.

I see gambling as fun and not to earn money. If you take gambling as a source of income, I am afraid because that would definitely result to addiction which is very dangerous as the case may be. Gambling for fun is much okay for me because already it is advised that one should gamble with funds they could afford to lose and likewise gambling responsibly. With these, it in is pertinent that one needs be guided to know what to do if one must gamble.

While gambling to earn money, you make some loss, you would definitely one to recover your loss and in the cause of doing that, you would still found out that you are still making loses and that would trigger you to chase your losses which invariably means that you are prone to addiction. That is it when you decide to gamble for income but the other way round is not so.

If you gamble for fun, you will definitely have to set up a budget that does not affect your finance and with that, you can gamble responsibly as it does not gets you worried even if you record some loss.

Re: Gambling: for fun or to earn money?

Why choose only one of them if you can do both of them?

You can gamble for fun right? And at the same time, you can gamble because you want more money. I mean many gamblers out there are treating gambling as their job already. Just recently, I've been watching some Poker tournaments on YouTube, and I just realized that gambling can be a profession because I see many gamblers who are spending lots of their money to win different tournaments.

We know that gambling is very risky, but some people are willing to risk everything they have. Excitement or happiness will just come when they win.

Gambling should be for people to have fun and enjoy during their free time. If you win, your winnings are just a bonus when you play. If you lose, laugh at it. Simple as that, if you treat gambling as a way to make money, you will only end up experiencing the negative effects of gambling such as being addicted, chasing your losses, and having debt that you can no longer be able to pay. Most people are aiming to use gambling as a source of money which is why they lose more money than they expected.

Eheheh gambling for fun I don't actually think so not every  body love putting their hard earn cash in stake for fun. There's where this certain gambling platform where you play loot games withdigital currency (cryptocurrencies) at first I deposited my LTC and I gambled with it and I gained  at first. That moment greed came in wanted to earn more so use all my funds to bet and I lose it all I deposited again and I almost dry all my LTC in my wallet that day.  So betting just luck Is either two ways either make you rich quick or the other way round so wasn't fun seeing my LTC going like that. May be was inexperienced don't really know.

The faster you earn the money, the faster you will lose it. In gambling, you can win a lot of money in a short period of time if you get lucky, but mostly you will lose more than you win unless you are very lucky. You are also not having fun if you are losing, so I would say that it's both, but not to the point that I will rely on it to put food on our table as it is not stable, so I will just treat it for entertainment but also to win big.

Just as gambling is used as a means of earning money on the one hand, gamblers who are addicted to gambling lose money on bets and end up losing money. However, gambling should in no way be considered as a money making or income source. There is a high risk of being socially harmed. Many people take gambling as a form of entertainment or fun and it shouldn't be because the guise of fun helps to create many horrible activities in this highly addicted society. Therefore, as a conscious citizen, gambling should never be accepted as a source of income, a focus of entertainment and an addiction or profession in any way.

For me gambling was never about money. It was always for fun, an addition when you intend to do something and want to make in more exciting (for example watching games live). Also I have never seen someone being a good money earner in gambling industry. Of course there are exception, but among so many people who gamble, the percentage of those who find any success in it is very low. And it makes no sense if gambling was about money. You pay money to get money. Sounds weird. But you pay money to get fun sounds fair.

In some special gambling threads, they are conflicted regarding the function of gambling, some consider it as fun only and some consider it as a way to earn money quickly. What about you? If I myself feel gambling is a way to earn money quickly, although defeat is inevitable.

Normally a person may have different motives in gambling. Some come here to earn money, and many enjoy spending money. Many are interested in enjoying both money and pleasure.

If we divide gambling into two levels, then the main two things that will be exposed here are money income and the other is entertainment.

Most people have a tendency to make money in gambling. But not everyone can earn money here. Rather some people lose their budgeted amount when it comes to income. Gambling is a risky and uncertain platform where luck exists. Not everyone will be successful at gambling in the long run. This platform has great potential for financial loss. If we say entertainment purpose, then it gives pleasure to many gamblers. Lots of gamblers can't quit gambling even they lose. Because they enjoy gambling. They find pleasure in regular gambling in addition to their regular work. Financial loss from gambling is not the main issue for them.
   
If one considers gambling would be only for money, they must gamble with caution. Every gambler should conduct gambling within limits. Every gambler must not spend more than a certain budget. They have to take control of themselves. It is best to focus on professional work instead of depending on gambling money. The main objective should be to gain temporary pleasure through gambling.

Gambling was initially created as a means for people to come and put their money and luck to test and then stand a chance to multiply their funds, but we all know that's not really the case right now, gambling has turned to something else and people hardly make interests in gambling, hence the reason why some people now consider gambling as just something they just d for fun, and then give them an opportunity to win while having fun, well I think that's the best approach to have when gambling now, to avoid being too disappointed or get addicted.

This is actually based on our own understanding about gambling whether we gamble for entertainment purposes or we gamble because we want to earn money from it through luck.

But there should be a generally adopted method that works for everyone and minimize gambling hazzard such as loosing money unnecessarily or addiction or irresponsible gambling. This time it shouldn't be about individual perspective or preference cos a person's preference may actually be killing him without him even knowing it.

We know gambling is a bad thing, most of the people gamble in this place and at some point they become addicted. Although gambling is played by many people just for fun, many find it a good place to make money. But mostly we have seen that people go to casino platforms for gambling only with the aim of earning more money. But most of the people lose their money by betting so I think gambling never gives high profit to a user rather he goes to ruin at some point by gambling.

We know gambling is a bad thing,

Point of correction OP, gambling isn't a bad thing, what's bad is irresponsible gambling and addiction, that's what's bad.
