What inspired you to gamble?

[DragonF]

There is no inspiration in gambling because the goal is to have fun, even if you expect more including income in gambling then it can be a danger sign especially so inspiration can be you addicted.

I still bet just a little to spend money, because if I lose, I won't become stressed or crazy because I lost a lot, so the purpose of fun is not to look for something profitable, although that hope is always there for every gambler.

You gamble = you lose, so it's normal
You gamble = Win then it's a bonus do it wisely from the winnings.

Gambling shouldn’t be about amassing wealth even though all adverts by Bookmakers make it appear as though gambling can give you riches in a twinkle of an eye. Gambling should be about the pleasure and thrill it can offer an individual. But sadly, there is always an underlying hope for financial gain, which attracts many gamblers.

Gambling should be such that when one gambles, he should accept the fact that he might lose, and as a result, he should not become stressed or overwhelmed by the potential loss. This mindset will make a gambler enjoy the experience of gambling without letting the fear of losing control of their emotions. Well, this can only be possible if he gambles with what he is prepared to lose. When a gambler wins, it can be considered a bonus as you have noted, and this can add to the overall fun and enjoyment.

I will just describe what happens to those who gamble and what they want because in reality I have never and do not want to gamble, but if I had to give a choice what they want in gambling is to make money.

Many of my friends gamble just to make money, but some of them are also looking for entertainment, but most of them gamble to make money, even though in the end they fail because they always lose.
After they lose, they seem to have a very strong sense of curiosity so they make fiat deposits intensively, even though the deposit value is small, but if repeated it turns into large funds too.
BTW, they do their gambling online and only use smartphones which are very common now owned by everyone in the area where I live.

Gambling is indeed a place for many people to seek pleasure, but they must ensure that they can control the use of money for gambling, because so far many people cannot control their addictive nature in gambling places, causing them to fall into poverty instantly and sell everything they have to try return the capital used for gambling. As you have said, gambling places cannot provide guarantees to make their users rich because basically gambling is a place to have fun.

I cant say that there is something that inspires me to gamble. I think with time I got so used to watching just sports that I need something extra. So used to just talking with friends during «Friday nights», that I need something extra. So I add sports betting sometimes, when I watch the game or sports I plan to watch. Instead of simply drinking beer with friends after a work week, we prefer to do the same in the game of poker. Gambling adds something special in a routine.

Money and entertainment!
I think almost all people have the same reason why they gamble.
Both rich and poor people basically want to earn money when they are gambling. But for some people, the entertainment is the main reason because we doesn't always win in gambling. Some people tend to lose money in gambling than they could earn money.

That's a good one, primarily people gamble to see how lucky they are to win, but its all part of the fun.

Many gamblers have different things or conditions that inspired them to start gambling. For some gamblers, they started gambling without knowing fully well how gambling works but had to gamble because they needed to get a certain amount of money at a specific time and I'm one of those that started gambling that way. When it comes to the knowledge of football, I started engaging in football from when I was very tender and I could easily predict the outcome of games before the start of the games but never thought of putting it to practice through gambling until when I needed a certain amount of money to solve an issue I had at that moment. I told a friend of my predicament and he told me to gamble since I'm always right with my football predictions, I followed his instruction on which game to predict and stake on and was happy to get a huge win at the end of the day.

15 years old and a neighbor of mine invited a few of us kids to his garage/man cave to hang out and play some penne ante poker. Ever since then I always enjoyed playing cards. Gin, poker, spades, hearts, or even chinese poker. I think putting a few dollars in play always makes the game more interesting.

I won't be original - escapism from the daily grind, provides an outlet for stress relief, entertainment and the idea of hitting a jackpot of course

But for me its more about motivation, and I think I have one thing which is really inspires me its self improvement. Mastering a skill or improving strategic thinking. The intellectual challenge of games like poker or blackjack, where strategy and skill can influence the outcome.

I would say, to test my luck. And also the chances of earning or gaining more money in the expense of your own money. As a kid, i have this interest when i watch someone who plays card. From my country card games between 3 or 4 people are quite popular as a pastime. And when i get to try to play, at first i never stopped. And the enjoyment, kinda bonding with other people and also winning really fueled up my desire to play. Then since, almost every ads on social media offers Online Casino, i continue to play in moderation, for the nostalgia and maybe a little winning. I now used to play on weekends and at minimal capital and at low stake games. Just to keep me occupied, kinda like chilling.

The excitement of winning and the possibility of doubling my money in a short period of time, I guess. The fun and excitement of winning in gambling hit really different, which is the often reason why a lot of people are getting hooked on it. I also often hear other people that every time they win in gambling, they start to think of doing it regularly to make an easy profit all the time.

Winning will clearly make us happy, no one is unhappy when we get money. But the problem is that gambling does not always give us that win, and even losing is a bigger thing to happen, so we must also be prepared to lose money.

The fun of playing is one of the things that makes me go gambling, I can enjoy every round which makes me relaxed. However, I can still feel it when I am calm and also use the money that has been prepared.

I cant say that there was something or someone that inspired me to gamble. I have tried playing cards for the first time when I was about 8 or 9 years old. That was I think the first time I have found out what gambling was. I've got familiar with it from video games. I had a cartridge for console with bunch of games. As I did not have a large variety of games that time, but had video pocket as one of the games on cartridge, I have asked my father to explain me the rules. Fast forward, and I remember playing poker with school friends. If I was to explain what inspired me to play I would say the fun of the community.

That's it. That's the reason why for me, what makes it inspirational to play gambling is because that winning does not always come to us. It is also the other reason why most gamblers are getting hooked up with gambling because the feeling of winning, especially jackpot prices can be considered as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for everyone.

The percentage of wins in gambling is very small and we never know when the win will arrive, and it could be that the win will arrive after we spend a lot of money gambling. This is what we need to remember so that we can always be responsible gamblers.

And in reality, every time I win, it might only cover the losses I have experienced, or even that is still not enough. However, if that is not our main goal, then we will remain calm when we experience defeat.

At first I just wanted to try and I tried playing the basics, not often just for entertainment, if it was 5-10 $ per play it wouldn't matter more than that I never
