Gambling: for fun or to earn money?

[Primo1760]

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.

Gambling should always be used for fun Gambling should never be used as a means of earning. There are many people who ruin their lives by using gambling as a means of earning. I never use gambling as a means of earning I always use this gambling as entertainment and I use a specific budget for gambling income I do not pay any other budget outside of that specific budget. Here it is seen that many people gamble for earning, they keep gambling constantly, they lose more than their earnings, so at one time they become addicted to gambling, after gambling addiction, they become completely destitute with their life and family, so gambling is always for entertainment. Gambling should not be a means of earning money.

This is true, completely agree.
Gambling should always remain a source of entertainment.

We often say that gambling should be taken only for fun but those who gamble and those who gamble with money risks gamble with the assumption that they will gain a lot of money by gambling. If you ask every gambler personally what he gambles for and if he is honest the answer will be to make money. If gambling was played only for fun, gamblers would never risk their money so much, but they would think that gambling can change their fortunes if they risk money. Gamblers who have become addicted to gambling and who have lost a lot of money after becoming addicted and those gamblers who have managed to recover may now gamble with a small amount of money to enjoy themselves but most gamblers intend to make a lot of money by gambling.

Yes I get your point, the aim of gambling is to make money, but you won't let that to make you forget that gambling is based on luck. It is like a try your luck thing, and see if you will win, there are no 100% guarantees of winning, so you should gamble responsibly and do it for fun.

Being responsible in gambling is very important, because it will make us more able to control ourselves. When we realize that gambling is based on luck, then at that time we should be ready for the big risks that are in front of us.

There are many things we have to remember carefully when gambling, because the risks are very big, so don't let it make us feel regret later. Because actually we have realized that before.

I would qualify this, although I think you are right. There are some types of betting games like poker and sports betting where you can earn money in the long run, but only a few do, around 5% or less if I remember correctly. And on the other hand if it can be considered a means of earning but in the short term. For example, you can consider betting up to $100 in a certain game to see if you win a prize of $1,000. If you lose it, nothing happens, it is money that you have spent on entertainment. If you win, on the other hand, you can go on a trip, for example.

Gambling depends on luck and since gambling depends on luck, the risk ratio is also very high here. If a gambler takes gambling as the main means of earning then it will be a bad decision for that gambler. Gambling should be taken as fun and if luck helps you can earn money by winning in gambling with fun. Those who gamble to earn lose everything and later regret it because under the pressure of earning, the gambler takes wrong decisions and becomes aggressive.

Since gambling is heavily dependent on luck, it is completely foolish to think of it as a source of income. Those who consider it as a source of income will certainly lose in gambling. As for gambling, I have seen gamblers who initially thought gambling was fun but later became addicted and lost their money. Especially those who gamble here for long periods of time and gamble more than they can afford to lose without any set boundaries. They lose more than they win in gambling. And when a gambler loses more than he wins, he can no longer accept gambling as fun.

Yes, they will be in a harsh reality check once they found out that gambling is not going to a source of income or to some extend earn money. We do win sometimes, but at the end of the we are going it back to the casino itself as we will go back time and time again to play and have fun.

I wouldn't advise to anyone not to gamble as I will be a pretender as I'm a gambler. But if there is any way I can mentor someone in life, I will tell them to stay away as gambling is very difficult vices in life, not unless you can have total control which is very hard.

WE can only suggest and cannot force them to stay away from gambling, I will not say I am not a gambler, because I do too. However, if we are given the opportunity to give them advice then we can take it.

All decisions are in their hands, whether they will gamble or not, because we are just reminding them. And if they choose to gamble, then we must remind them to ensure they will gamble with a full sense of responsibility.

Gamblers who bet only for the purpose of earning money will definitely lose because there is no guarantee of winning in gambling. Although there are many who gamble only for the purpose of monetary income. They once turned into addicted gamblers. But if he had accepted gambling not as a money-making scheme but as a means of temporarily passing the time, then gambling would surely have been a pleasure for him. Those who are considering gambling to earn money will never be able to realize their goals from gambling.

It's totally luck because if I win the bet I can go on tour and if I don't win I have to accept defeat. You may believe that gambling is short-term and enables you to earn money in this case I would not accept it as a means of making short-term money because I have seen that even in certain winning matches there are occasional losses. So gambling should never be considered as a means of earning money, gambling should always be taken as entertainment. Those who have taken up gambling as a means of making money have ruined themselves.

Gambling should be treated for fun but if there's an opportunity to make money then you should take that, gambling should not be treated as a cash cow or a place to make a living because you will lose a lot of money trying to find the formula.

Just enjoy the experience, there are testimonials where gamblers unexpectedly make a lot of money because they are not playing under pressure to win but enjoying the game so just enjoy the game that even if you lose you're going home satisfied.

When I started gambling, I was more concerned about making money out it instead of the fun of the game, which made me lose a lot of money. Gambling with the sole aim of earning money from it I think is one of the easiest ways to become a gambling addict and that's why I'll advise any gambler out there to only engage in gambling when you want to do it for fun so you can be able to control your emotions.

I can relate much to this statement because as per experience when i gamble without any pressure to win because you have a capital that is substantial enough, that's the time that you always win, i mean the win ratio is greater win you have a large capital that you can afford lose.

On a personal level, gambling should be taken as a form of entertainment and such should be done only if one has some spare money and should not be given a top priority concern otherwise it can be addictive and can therefore be destructive. That is why as adults we should know how to gamble responsibly...know our boundary and the possible consequences when we are not careful of those parameters. Therefore, if one could not control himself especially if one has compulsive behavior gambling is one of the things to avoid. We know that in the history of gambling many people were destroyed all because they allow their emotions to come over and trick them to thinking that this is just like a toy to play with only to realize later than it is actually a fire that can burn a whole house and even a community. On the other side of the counter, gambling is a big business and is in fact producing many millionaires and even billionaires in the past and into the present...so if one is planning to be rich gambling is a very potent industry to enter into. And we are seeing it now with the coming of the internet, the apps, the blockchain and cryptocurrency as it would now be so easy to gamble...as they we can now do many things using our fingertips including to gamble away.
