Title: Gambling: for fun or to earn money?
Post by: nightcloud on January 04, 2022, 07:38:49 AM
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.

Which games? If it's skill games like poker, you can make money, but only top of the top players will end up in profit. Sports betting also can earn you money if somehow you are good at predicting the winners, but by no means it will earn you a stable income. Hence, gambling is mainly classified in the entertainment industry. It's mainly for fun, BUT you can make money (even big money) if you are lucky. The other types of entertainment have zero chance of making you rich.

So to answer your question: it's both, but you should lean more on the fun side if you don't want to get into trouble.

I find gambling an instrument to get emotions. But luck will determine whether they are going to be positive or negative. I also think that those who choose gambling as a way to earn, they cant rely much on it and as this method is very unstable.

This means that the winning results of gambling are not to meet daily needs. This means that the winning results of gambling are not to meet daily needs.

It's important to remember that gambling is a risk, and there's no guarantee of winning. Personally, I think gambling should just be for fun and never rely on it to make money. Set a budget for yourself and never gamble more than you can afford to lose.

I'm fairly new here myself, but I wanted to chime in and offer some advice on your question. When it comes to user-friendly betting apps, there are a lot of options out there. However, since you mentioned you're using a Windows phone, the pool of apps you can choose from might be a bit more limited. They have a user-friendly mobile site that should work well on your Windows phone.

Many may have different opinions on whether gambling should ever really be prioritized as a source of income but from my point of view gambling should only be considered as part of entertainment. It should be taken as a source of income only when a person is completely absent from employment or activities. If there is no source of income after retirement from any job sector then he can take gambling as a source of income at that moment. However, he should always remember that his taking this source should not affect his family in any way. Many have no choice but to become addicted to gambling and bankrupt their families. So thinking should give priority to gambling otherwise it will end up causing nothing but turmoil in the family.

99.9% gamblers do gambling for money, it is undeniable fact and it is normal.
Almost no one who gambling for fun only, even if there are some people claim that they are gambling for fun but without a doubt that they also want to make profit.
The most important thing is that we should be able to control ourselves while gambling to avoid the worst possible negative effects.

Gambling isn't a get rich quick scheme, but it doesn't mean on cannot make money from gambling, you sure can, But you should have it at the back of your mind as a gambler that gambler's isn't something you can fully be dependent on to fetch you profit. The  ratios are 50/50. You win or lose, you win? That's good for you, you take your profit and leave and if you lose, you accept your defeat and accept that day wasn't your day. So you don't expect to always win or see it as a way to make steady income cos you'll be disappointed for real.

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.

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.

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.

Gambling can actually be broken down into several categories. Some gamble only for entertainment. But I think it's the only pastime where you can make money if you're lucky. And experienced and lucky people can actually make money from gambling like professionals. There are many instances where they even earn huge amounts of money through it. But at the end of the day everyone is most likely to suffer from it. But it is mainly thought of by people as a part of entertainment or it is mostly known as a part of entertainment. Now if your intention is to make money from gambling then I'd say if you don't have that much luck it's better to stay away from here. If not, you will have no regrets.

    Gambling is a game chance, you win some and you lose some, in the game you shouldn’t place your hope in gambling. It’s something you should do for fun, it not something you should do as a major source of income, gambling can never be considered as an investment for me, because to me it’s all just a game, that can be decided in just few minutes. Which is not a very good investment plan.

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.

It depends on the lens a person views it. Gambling is a big word that as I have noted above means different things to different people but I will be specific in my analogy thus I will approach this topic using sports betting.

In my thinking, the sole aim of sports betting which is an aspect of gambling is to earn money. It is called gambling because something is at stake thus you either win or lose. I don't think there is any fun in losing money and that is why people always try to win because it is by winning you earn money.

Statistically speaking, the majority of people who engage in sports betting especially the low and middle-class are doing so with the hope of making money. If there is fun in gambling then whether one loses or not should be a win-win since the goal is to gain pleasure from it but as the record will have it people frown when they don't win which means there is no fun element in it.

Recently, a businessman committed suicide after losing to sports betting. I will decipher so many issues here; first, if betting was for fun he wouldn't have committed suicide after losing; secondly, one can easily depict that he gambled with the hope of earning more money. These issues that have been cropped out can justify that gambling, especially for low and middle-class citizens is simply to make money and escape poverty.

In conclusion, gambling is to earn money.

I do agree, that gambling should not be seen by anyone as an investment or some source of income. It is important to know that gambling is based on luck and involves risking losing one's money. If we rely on gambling to make money, this will not be reliable and sustainable, and it will never result in having a profit. This is more than enough reason why it is better to avoid gambling as a way to make money.

It is not conflicted, people gamble are probably caused by 2 goals (entertainment or money). There is nothing wrong if some people focus on getting entertainment through gambling. Some gambling games look quite interesting and challenging. If they win the prizes, they may assume it as the bonus. Meanwhile for people who focus on earning money. They probably don't care about the fun in gambling. What makes them to feel fun is just winning the prizes.

It is okay if you gamble for earning money only. But you can't blame people who gamble for money and fun.  ;)

Hence, gambling is mainly classified in the entertainment industry. It's mainly for fun, BUT you can make money (even big money) if you are lucky.
Of a true gambling is expected to be entertaining, fun, bring pleasure, and excitement but then most people especially the poor have resorted to gambling as a way to get rich, sadly, the majority are becoming poorer and even enriching the bookies. This notwithstanding, as you have pointed out, only a few lucky ones have earned reasonably from gambling. Thus, no matter the mindset of a gambler it is advisable gambling be seen as fun.

I strongly agree that gambling should not be considered as an investment or a source of income. It is important to understand that gambling is based on luck and involves risking one's money. Relying on gambling to make money is not a reliable or sustainable method, and it is unlikely to result in long-term profits. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid considering gambling as a viable way to make a living.
Gambling means different thing to different people.There are some people who see gambling as means of earning money,while there are some people who see gambling as fun,but what will amaze you  the most is that,those people who actually see gambling as a fun,still look for moneyThere is nobody who doesn't gamble to make money,If it was for fun only,they won't invest money into it,but since everybody is looking for money,we all gamble to make the money out of it.

I find gambling an instrument to get emotions. But luck will determine whether they are going to be positive or negative. I also think that those who choose gambling as a way to earn, they cant rely much on it and as this method is very unstable.
I agree, specifically in sports betting to win requires luck and I have always hold this opinion that no one is an expert in gambling and that is why no gambler can boost of winning all the time and this is where emotions come in. Gamblers attach emotions to it either covertly or overtly. No one relies heavily on gambling and that is why even people who pride themselves as professional gamblers have investments that they can always fall back to.

Truly, gamblers always want to win and winning means making extra funds but then what differentiates a person who plays for fun and a person who hopes to become rich is the way they react when they lose. A gambler whose intention is to relax and stake on a game for the fun of it will certainly be happy if he wins but will not react negatively if he loses because to such a person it's a win-win and they easily move on. On the other hand, a person who hopes to get rich from gambling will grumble and sometimes react negatively to show how pained he is by losing a bet.

Yes, I personally will not deny that by playing I hope to get money from my winnings in the game. But the problem is that if we focus on that, I think it's something that is not good either because it will bring ambition for us to feel big wins, and when we can't control that we might get caught up in something that will make our finances not good. We already know the risks of gambling, and for me, don't expect too much from gambling. Our expectation must be the same to win, but with such a big risk we must be good at controlling ourselves.

Sometimes, when I watch sports with friends, who place bets, I do it also and I dont do it to win money, but rather to be like them, to support atmosphere. If I would watch it alone, I would not always consider placing a bet. What about situations like that? Unintentional gambling. If was only about earning, then in case I win, I would rather keep the money (withdraw and save them). However, instead, more likely I would immediately spend the money won. For example to buy drinks for friends.

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.
Gambling is not a bad thing and will never be bad in itself. The attitude of people when they gamble is what should be frowned at if it's negative. Remember, driving is not bad but then reckless driving is bad. That's how it is with gambling. Gambling is not bad but once a person is addicted it becomes easier for the person to gamble irresponsibly and that makes it bad. So, the impression that gambling is bad should be corrected.

I could easily relate with your analogy since I do similar things with my friends. This excitement comes when your circle of friends gambles. It is always a case of a win for one is a win for all because everyone within that circle will benefit from the winning and on the days no one wins, everyone will just share stories on why they lost and everyone is happy at the end since we laugh over it.

Of a truth defeat is inevitable that is why if you must gamble you must have it at the back of your mind that it is either you win or you lose your game because gambling is a game and in every game, there must be a winner and there must be a loser. So therefore it is left for every gambler to decide which categories they fall into.

I see gambling as fun hence gambling responsibly is the goal and focus not for profit purpose but to relax and have fun while doing so. Although there are people out there who sees it as an avenue to making profit which I am not against. If it works for them that way fine if not atleast they should be reasonable enough to do the right thing. No gambler is a child to tell the good the bad every gambler should be above the age of 18 based on the law of their various regions.

I'd say both, I mean, while I usually gamble for the sake of enjoyment that I can get from gambling I still do like to win and earn it's just that losing does not bother me that much(it doesn't mean that I don't get frustrated too), it's not because I am rich or anything it's just that I understand that losing is part of gambling and I have accepted that.

Most of the people who regard gambling as a way to make money quickly are individuals who are jobless or not anywhere from the job that they do so they see gambling as another source of income for them. It is very wrong to think of gambling as another source of income because they often learn that they lose more than they win. Gambling should be for fun, and not be the only way you plan to make extra income.

Depending on the odds of different games, you can win up to 2x-1000x the amount you bet in gambling and if you lose, you will lose the entire amount. so there is a risk of losing your money as well as a chance to win something big. and since gambling can win up to 1000x but if you lose you lose only the bet amount  So gambling is more likely to lose than win. so it's a very high risk thing. so gambling should not be used as a source of income. It can be used for fun purposes as the games it contains are very fun.

Gambling should be always for the fun or to earn money. Because I think that earning should come from a source that is stable and comes through hard work, and on the other hand, earning by gambling means earning by depending on luck, and I don't think that a healthy life can ever be led this way. I think those addict gamblers and lazy people can only think of making money by gambling.

Each January has a different stage of gambling. Some gamblers gamble for fun while others consider gambling as a source of income. But from my side if I say I mainly gamble for fun. In my opinion all gamblers should consider gambling as having fun. Because as far as I've seen in gambling where there are more losses than wins. Some people consider gambling as a source of quick money and repeated gambling becomes addictive and leads to serious financial disaster. In my opinion it is best to consider gambling as a form of pleasure.

I completely disagree with you. All gamblers try to gamble with the same goal, which is to win and not only to have fun. Some may just say differently for some reason like to avoid embarrassment, to avoid criticism, and sometimes to avoid feeling down. What if I told you that gambling can only be considered fun if you win unexpectedly? It doesn't make sense to have fun if you lose money. Despite losing a lot of money, many gamblers continue gambling with the hope of winning at least a few times. This is because the experience of winning is what makes gambling fun, not the act of losing money.

Gambling should be always for fun not in any other cases. Somebody can think that it is the quickest way for earning but they have to remind this also that they can also face their all fund at loss in the quickest time. I never saw a public who do gambling for earning they living a standard life. And have seen lots of people like this who always in depression about their debt. So never take gambling as others rather than the only entertainment.

I think sometimes we are not honest when it comes to such !

Simple question I would ask, if you choose to gamble with $500 right now, would you feel good about it if you lost it all when leaving the casino...I doubt you would!!

It's for this reason, I would say we all gamble for the money..unless you use gambling as a way to get some form of distraction from say a bad day from work or whatever it is...but 85% of gamblers do play for the money and the rest it has to be for fun! Better yet, if it was never about the money why not play slots with fun money but you choose to play with real funds by depositing which means primary goal is making money ;)

    Gambling is a game chance, you win some and you lose some, in the game you shouldn’t place your hope in gambling. It’s something you should do for fun, it not something you should do as a major source of income, gambling can never be considered as an investment for me, because to me it’s all just a game, that can be decided in just few minutes. Which is not a very good investment plan.

 
I strongly agree that gambling should not be considered as an investment or a source of income. It is important to understand that gambling is based on luck and involves risking one's money. Relying on gambling to make money is not a reliable or sustainable method, and it is unlikely to result in long-term profits. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid considering gambling as a viable way to make a living.
People also earn money from gambling, but to be that kind of gambler, a gambler must have knowledge about various things as well as adequate financial ability which is not possible for all gamblers. Those gamblers consider gambling as a source of income. But it is not possible for average gamblers. A  gambler should not consider gambling as a source of income. Since there is no certainty of winning in gambling, there is no room to consider it as a regular income opportunity. A gambler who tries to earn money rather than treat it as fun may suffer more than gain from it.

Gambling can never be fun rather it is played by most of the players just to win. When a player visits casino platforms to play craps with the intention of winning the jackpot, he is definitely not out to have fun but to win. And I think people who gamble only play to make money but very few people play for fun. I have seen most of the people only play to make money but gambling is never for fun. Sometimes it is seen that people become addicted while playing gambling for fun so this gambling becomes black for some and jackpot for some and makes him rich.

I don’t agree with you. Does not winning mean not having fun? In my thinking, no. Intent matters. Some persons participate in gambling to be entertained which simply tells us that the outcome is immaterial to the gambler. For instance, I remember when I used to make a stake with my brother whenever we played PS2 at that time and even when I lost I was happy because playing games with him brings excitement and pleasure so I am not worried if he wins or not. Most times I initial the idea because I want to lure him into playing and then I will be happy at the end. No doubt, winning can be celebrated but the fun is not dependent on the winning.

This is also based on what classes we are in because based on my observation rich people tend to gamble just for fun but for the lower classes there's this "in the hope of making money" thing if not all but most of the minds are thinking of when gambling. You may not agree or what but that is what I just observed. Sometimes greed will dictate gamblers to spend more to double the money or get even more.

Whether a gambler considers gambling for personal enjoyment or as a means of making money that depends on the gambler's personal choice. But if gambler consider gambling as means of earning. It will definitely be a big mistake for him if he takes it for earning. When a gambler takes gambling as part of entertainment, he can enjoy gambling without human pressure. However, many gamblers may also gamble for money, requiring a higher level of skill and experience than usual. But skill and experience alone cannot make a gambler win. Along with those qualities of gambler must also have luck.

Everyone actually has their different opinions and perspective about what gambling is and what not but one thing is for sure which is the results that come after any of the way you decide to go with your gambling habits. Some results are negatively effective and can ruin you as a gambler while the other will keep you in check and I believe everyone knows what's after their actions they choose about gambling.

So many gamblers feel they can use the act to get an edge by winning quick and fast money while others play it for the passion involved especially if you are sport gambling. But thing that is supposed to pin to everyone mindset when it involves gambling should be the thought that gambling should always be done with atleast 5-10% of the gamblers income to avoid any issue when the loses come.

I agree that when it comes to gambling, finding a balance between excitement and responsibility is crucial. Finding this balance has to do with discipline and self-control. When these two attributes are lacking in a gambler then finding a balance between excitement and responsibility will be difficult. Without self-control, a gambler will find it difficult to stop gambling when he is losing or even winning. When a gambler is losing, it is a direct call to stop gambling and when he is winning it is also a call to stop and then use the profit for something more rewarding and promising.

Some gamblers who don`t have self-control and discipline are always chasing loss and this makes them lose more than necessary keeps them in a state of frustration and sometimes makes them appear melancholy. Other times, they win but refuse to stop gambling and then lose everything. In my thinking, this is the stepping stone to problem gambling and should be guided against by all gamblers.

Betting is exclusively for adults, which is why the government regulates all sites and only allows adults to play. As adults, you are accountable for your financial dealings; if you are unable to gamble responsibly and have allowed yourself to be ruined, it is your fault, and the government can do nothing to help you.

I think this mindset is what attracts people more into gambling because they have it all that gambling is a form money creation or generation where they could get quickly rich when they join gambling but to me I don't see gambling as place to catch fun rather a place to put you in a higher pressure of finance, since when they play with the little amount left with them and expect to make a huge pay out if their game plays correct but when it's lost then such person has no other fall into pressure and thinking how much he has lost or the money gone.

So, before someone goes into gambling s/he should be prepared for any lost and not to channel their blame or lost to the government because they aren't the people who asked their citizen to gamble, naturally as you said gambling is for adults and not those aren't ready to make lost or profits.

Yes, that's not wrong, because winning will make us happier, but if we need money, shouldn't we be in a gambling place, and should we be at work? hoping luck will come to us by forcing ourselves to spend money? that was a bad move.

We can get pleasure when we win, I agree with that, but we can also get pleasure when we can enjoy gambling with the money we have prepared, or in other words we know what happens to us when we gamble.

Of course things are very different when it's about winning all the time, that's what you want, for me it's the best thing you can do but you have to accept the Designs of the game, sometimes you lose and that must be accepted.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I don't too excited with gambling promising to earn much money and get winning some time seems its bonuses but I don't too all out for gambling because too risk and the ration winning rate under 10% than your loss ratio over 90%.
But difficult to realize some one have been addict with gambling its less opportunity to earn money with gambling, most of their account full history with deposit and less withdrawal.

It is certain that gamblers will definitely have the mindset of wanting to win games as it is that everyone naturally wants to make profit but however, if as a gambler you are too focused on wanting to make profit or earns meet through gambling, then I would say that it is a wrong move by that gambler because that alone could be a straight way to addiction which is not healthy.

I agree with you that most accounts with majorly deposit and less withdrawal are accounts belonging to gamblers who are likely addicted or gamblers with lots of loss records.  These features can as well tell if a gambler is really gambling for fun or for profit because the amount per bet could tell that such gambler have a gambling budget or not.

For me it's more of a fun and earning money from it is just a bonus since it is not guaranteed 100% winning in gambling. The only mistake gamblers do is that they chase their losses that is why there is a never ending chase that might end up so badly for them as we all know we will become too desperate just to re over our losses.

For some reason, I really believe that most people will gamble because it is to earn money. They spend money, of course they have their own targets that they want to achieve. Yes, they will do it just for fun. It's not convincing enough even if they say so. unless there's already quite a lot of buzz and it's really going to be for fun. This will probably only take place on a few occasions instead of being a routine activity. Like betting on sports that he watches live. This will be fun because they will also be able to live in this euphoria and see friends and family laughing together while gambling.

As for slots you can also play them for money but it's important to approach this responsibly. Don't quit your main job right away! :)

You're right that there's a possibility of combining both the thrill aspect and the earning aspect, but this isn't as easy as it sounds, it'll require a great deal of discipline and self control, because it'll take one to approach gambling responsibly and with a completely clear mind.

For example, those who are considered to be professional gamblers can actually do that combination because they're believed to be a lot more in control of their emotions when gambling, so they can enjoy the game while making good money from the activity.
The same way playing on the slot machines could be quite enjoyable too, but the secret to not getting caught up in the whole thing and losing control is by setting and sticking to your gambling limits, have a good bankroll management and whatever you do, never chase your losses.

I agree with you on this.
A good example are People who always leave the casino with nothing, it's not that they dont actually win when they gamble, but greed will make them never to be okay with whatever they win, it'll never be enough for them to vover all tgeir losses so they continue to gamble with their winnings even when they were supposed to walk away, they'll gambling until they finally lose every damn thing.

The most important aspect of a gambler's life when gambling is his ability to know when to walk away whether in the midst of losses or winnings. It's very important to know when to cut your losses and just leave the casino before you end up losing everything.

Its not problem with both possibilities enjoying the gambling for fun and other side earn money but have think realistic firstly gambling not promising always win or earn money.
Firstly gambling created for having fun and earn money seems bonuses for some one make gambling not as their profession or earn money but having fun only.
I think all gambler have ambition to earn much money from gambling because how easily the game although less ratio percentage for winning every game in gambling, but I think have fun is good ideas and enjoying the winning as bonuses.

Indeed, striving for fewer mistakes is always beneficial. However, what truly matters is how we respond after those mistakes occur. Do we reflect and learn? Do we adjust our behavior and strategies? While it's impossible to avoid mistakes entirely, we can certainly learn from them and minimize them.

There will always be this disparities between gambling for fun and gambling to make money. The question I do ask people that always say gambling is for fun is that "why do you think gambling casino and platforms ever existed? They didn't come to do charity for anyone but to give you a platform to try your luck and get your money into their wallet.

If that's the intention of casinos, then there is nothing absolutely wrong in making money from gambling as well. I have seen people make money from their hobbies, gambling can be a an entertaining hobbies to make money because even the wealthy people play it to make money as well but they aren't that desperate like some typical gamblers.

Show me someone (not a professional gambler, whos only activity is to gamble all the time) who is really earning money in gambling. Not just winning uncertain amount of money from time to time, but doing it regularly. Something like $100+ as minimum per week, but that person must be achieving it in a solid amount of time, not just 2-3 months in a row. Then I will agree that gambling can be sort of a freelance. Until then, I see only fun in it.

There's every possiblity to enjoy both the fun that comes with gambling as well as earning good money from the game but for you to achieve that, you must learn how to gamble majorly because of the fun as that will significantly help you to make good decisions that will give you good winnings at the end of the day. But when a gambler engages in gambling majorly because of his desire to earn from gambling, he's very likely to lose both the fun of the game as well as his desire to earn money from gambling. So in a nutshell, it's not a bad idea to earn from gambling as it requires ones finances to engage in it but that shouldn't make a gambler to prioritize how much he'll earn at the end of the day over the fun of the game of gambling

I think that when we play the main thing we should do is find a way to win, of course the fun thing is something that is already Predefined what we Should do, in part what I think is that when we go to play we have to take care of it. our money, there is no other way, as I have said many Times , even if it is 1 Dollar, it is what we must always consider, because a casino does not regulate money, it only offers bonuses, contests, but things must always be done, work , or some effort, but hardly free, it is not something that has to be fulfilled, 'but when we are in such a Situation we must always look for a way to always take care of our balance.

It seems to me that its entirely possible to combine the fun of gambling with earning money. if you are a professional sports bettor you can enjoy both the thrill and the income it brings. As for slots you can also play them for money but it's important to approach this responsibly. Don't quit your main job right away! :)
Jokes aside. it's true that we all love money but anything that clouds a clear mind is not a winning strategy.

We will always be people who will seek to earn more and whenever possible we will try to do so, sometimes greed is one of the things that can make us lose control and because of these things mistakes begin and those mistakes when we do not correct them because it makes us go in the only direction of addiction, so every time we are in a casino it is easy, if we have Losses then we Assume them, but if we win we have to withdraw the money, there is no other option, for that we have to be clear about what we are looking for, in We cannot fail that, and it is also better to always be Depositing and playing with a controlled balance than to be putting in much more money and that is Another mistake. So the fewer errors we have, the better for everything.
I agree with you on this.
A good example are People who always leave the casino with nothing, it's not that they dont actually win when they gamble, but greed will make them never to be okay with whatever they win, it'll never be enough for them to vover all tgeir losses so they continue to gamble with their winnings even when they were supposed to walk away, they'll gambling until they finally lose every damn thing.

The most important aspect of a gambler's life when gambling is his ability to know when to walk away whether in the midst of losses or winnings. It's very important to know when to cut your losses and just leave the casino before you end up losing everything.

Sometimes it is not easy, but I have learned a lot about this, when one loses in the casino one realizes that the best thing for us to do is that if we have some profit we have to withdraw, otherwise it is spent and that's it. Everything arrives, and it is much better to have the money ready so we can enjoy it or deposit it little by little. I bet little, I am not one to bet a lot of money, but when things are arranged with control they turn out well, I am not one to gamble in a crazy way, but I have learned to control when I have money for the casino, because I like to play At least twice a week, and that's something I enjoy, so I take those precautions, never without decapitalizing myself.

Gambling is a fun. It would be better if people take it accordingly. If anybody thinks that he can earn money through gambling and manage his family then he is completely wrong. Because gambling is just a luck. You can not rely on it. You can win jackpot once or twice but most of the time you will end up losing.

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.

If you ask me I would say that the best mental approach to gambling is to play for fun even if there's a chance of you winning that bet, it's better to do it for entertainment purposes only, this saves you from being addicted and desperate. Gamblers fixate their mind on gambling and try to make it a source of income whereas it's supposed to be for fun and entertainment only. A game of wins and losses should be used as a way sure way to always earn quick money

Gambling is one of the sources of entertainment where you play with extra money for fun on the other hand if you play to earn it is very risky because you are using the money you can't afford to lose to be lucky enough to double it. It can cause financial strain, stress, and even addiction, turning what should be a fun activity into a dangerous one.

The key on here is that you should really be that only making use of the amount that you can afford to lose. Never ever go beyond those limits so that you wont be finding yourself
on such big trouble. Usually people would be making out those kind of realizations of their mistakes on the moment or time that they've seen that they are losing money.
Gambling for fun should really be the key but since people are really that too greedy then this is the main reason on why they do set aside their emotions just because they are really hoping
for something positive which its really not that a good choice to be done.

Gambling is a very good entertainment if you win more than lose)

Absolutely, when a gambler has more wins, he will see gambling as enjoyable because he has won. However, in a situation where the reverse is the case, it will be hard for a gambler to see gambling as an entertainment. Gamblers are always angry when they do not win, and this feeling of sadness will stifle any sense of pleasure because, whether we agree or disagree, there is no pleasure in losing money. When a gambler loses money, he begins to think about what he could have done with the money.

Only lucky guys have more wins in gambling, so only a few of them can be called this lucky... Because in gambling, the more you stay, the more you will lose. The more you deposit, the more you will deposit more, in short you gamble only to lose. As i said, only few have more wins than lose.

Do not be surprised if the few we consider lucky are losing more than we realize. Remember that gamblers do not always show their lost tickets. Gamblers are known to show winning tickets. Assume that someone staked ten times in a week, lost eight times, and then shows you two winning tickets with a good profit. Because the lost tickets were not seen, such a gambler will be considered lucky, even though the amount he lost may be greater than his winnings.

In my opinion, every gambler is a loser. Nobody can be lucky enough to become wealthy through gambling. Wealth is derived from sustainability, and gambling cannot provide the necessary sustainability to make a gambler wealthy. Do not gamble in the hope of being lucky.

I think that when a gambler loses, the emotion of grief gets mixed up and becomes more aggressive to win and addict. Later when he wins at least he does not want to remember the loss of previous money and is tempted to win more. A gambler may be more motivated to gamble for fun if he can have a series of wins instead of a regular rate, but that is Imagination behaviour with gamler.

Yes it should be a source of entertainment but people are now trying to make it a source of income which is very impossible, this is where the problem starts from. I have a friend that always gambles when he has an urgent need, he  tries to get money from gambling to solve his problems everytime and it always ends up badly. Gamblers have the habit of forgetting their long term losses and being excited over short wins, imagine losing more than a thousand dollars accumulatively in five months and winning ten dollars after losing all those money, this is something I will never understand, I guess the addiction is what propels this way of thinking

Come to any offline casino and look around. You wont see a lot of happy people, but those who look happy, are either a little bit drunk or in a company with friends. We rarely see solo gamblers with a smile on their face or in cheerful mood. Since gambling and money were always together, for me this indicates that those people are loosing - which means gambling is not a place to earn. Or look in any online casino chat. We wont see a lot of people who share their happiness of big wins. Which again indicates that people dont earn. This makes gambling as an entertainment only in my eyes.

There are some gamblers who prefer to tell others about the winnings after losing a gamble, while others bring up the loss first. No one else has a chance to know whether the gambler has actually made profit or loss. But in general we can say that the amount of loss in gambling is high. Those who think of gambling as fun will not depend on the betting money. Their gambling losses will also be less. On the other hand those who consider it as a income scheme rather than fun will definitely have a higher chance of losing. In gambling gamblers not only loss there are many examples of winning instance, but gamblers must avoid gambling based on winnings or else their losses will increase.

Even the jackpot is not certain - there are gamblers here that have been gambling for years and still haven’t hit a jackpot since they started gambling, they have managed to make some money off some good multiplier but never a jackpot.

Gambling actually for fun but when dominance above 80% with loss I don't think the gambler of enjoying fund of gambling because they are frustrated with their gambling always loss. Need get balance result between gambling for fun but have large dominance with winning ratio when betting.

When you start looking at gambling as a source of income, one will lead you to danger, because of this kind of thinking and action, it will lead you to financial crisis, and you will become more addicted to it, and in a sense you will lose your Lose everything, so gambling should never be a source of income, it should be confined to a recreational game.

Not just getting addicted, but there will be a higher probability of making more losses than profits. Just imagine a gambler or someone who bets at least seven times in a week, knowing fully well that what he/she is into does not give a 100% guarantee of success, there is no way the person might even get more than 2 successive wins within that period.

And just as you've said, jackpot isn't certain. Infact, the probability of hitting a jackpot is far lesser than the probability of having a normal win. Jackpot is not a regular win that every gambler experience at once. It's more of like a rare experience that only a single person gets, which might not even happen to 50-70% of all gamblers through out their entire years of gambling.

Gambling can never be expected to make regular profits, rather regular gambling lead us to more losses, resulting in addiction and loss. the final results of gambling always more likely to be negative. So it should be played only for entertainment with small amount of money and not regularly. It is almost impossible to make a consistent profit by gambling regularly. Without discipline and certain limits it will only lead to harm.

I truly don't believe that people gamble for fun this time. A staggering 95% of gamblers do so in order to make money. There are just a few individuals who play for fun; everyone is working to complete this paper. How does it even sound like you only bet for fun, though, to those who play for fun?

Even if you are trading futures, I don't see it as gambling, it's trading if you are using stop loss because that can protect you from any loss that can lead to liquidation of your money, there is always difference between gambling and trading for people that are crypto educated and gambling educated.

It's just that most people believe that Futures are like a game of chance and they are very wrong, that is not the case, it does not work that way, and for now things will always continue to be the same in trading, very different from gambling,  in futures is when you get the most fundamentals to operate, for me the one who operates futures has to have a great clear Knowledge about the money he is willing to lose and he has to have the Knowledge that any bad move he makes implies that it would imply losing a lot if he decides to put in a leverage.

Gambling is actually a game of uncertain possibilities. So it’s very full to see as a half-money way. Yes it’s true that there are many gambling games for years to win the jackpot. But someone goes to the jackpot again someone who wants to lose all their money and he goes out. Gambling slowly becomes a habit and it becomes almost impossible to get out of here.
So in my opinion, gambling should be playing for fun and time spent. Not for half-money. If you want to play gambling for making money, you can lose everything at one time.

It is true that what one relishes with well defined boundaries can indeed protect you from other things in life that you do not want such as gambling. It is always lighter and under control whenever we get involve without much pressure on the outcome just for fun. To maintain the experience as positive, it is better to not view profit as the ultimate result which one aims at. If we begin coercing ourselves to get big outcomes we will only compound what is destructive to the fun itself. To that, it is crucial for us to be in control, because when everything is conducted on a less formal basis, then the possibility of enjoying the moment will seem even larger, not to mention that the dangers remain unnecessary.

It's just that most people believe that Futures are like a game of chance and they are very wrong, that is not the case, it does not work that way, and for now things will always continue to be the same in trading, very different from gambling,  in futures is when you get the most fundamentals to operate, for me the one who operates futures has to have a great clear Knowledge about the money he is willing to lose and he has to have the Knowledge that any bad move he makes implies that it would imply losing a lot if he decides to put in a leverage.
Well the truth is that, gambling and trading of actually share very striking similarities but yet different in so many ways. They both involve taking risks and that’s for a fact, but the nature of risk taking associated with gambling varies greatly from that of trading because gambling depends solely on luck while trading has a totally different approach, although luck is also sometimes required in trading too, but traders do not depend mostly on luck but their analytical skills, experiences and strategies.

The perception that a person has when it comes to gambling all lies in the objectives that he/she sets when gambling. Thus, for some people say, entertainment is the primary purpose, but it is more appropriate to recognise that for others, it is a chance to make money. Pride is always natural to want to win and this has been pulled by the risk aspect of the game. But recognising that things are not always as you want them to be is also the slightly bitter pill that has to be swallowed. It cannot be expected to gain profit repeatedly in each round; and therefore, it has to come up with a balance of the expectation and the reality in order for the gamble to persist without too much stressing it.

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.
Although people originally considered gambling as one of the main sources of entertainment, it has been seen that most gamblers consider gambling as one of the main sources of income. For those who consider gambling as one of the main sources of entertainment, the amount of profit has been much greater than the amount of loss. But for those who consider gambling as one of the main means of income, the amount of loss has been more than the profit.

Sometimes there are also those who say that gambling is just for fun for those who have experienced big losses in gambling, whereas gambling is a business for those who have special authority... and we as gamblers are their customers...

I consider gambling as a game, yes after experiencing several big losses, I have no grudge to take back my money... I still bet just for fun with small money... even if I win, the results are also very small... guessing the score and calculating the performance of a football team is a very fun thing... because initially I did like the football league...

I do not think anyone gambles for fun, but you can have fun while gambling. Have you ever seen a gambler who was happy after losing? I have not seen. Gamblers are only happy when they win, and it is this happiness that gives them joy and pleasure. A gambler cannot be angry while also claiming to be having fun. The essence of fun is to be happy, and where happiness is absent, there is no fun.

I remember when I was playing street football, regardless of the outcome of the game, everyone was happy because it was enjoyable. This is what I call fun. When the fun is not tied to a specific outcome, such an activity can be considered fun. However, this is not the case in gambling.

Gambling is indeed for entertainment and never been that for the source of income and this is something that you will be needing up to put up in mind. You are the ones will really be making up decisions on how you would really be that dealing with it. Gambling is never meant to earn for money but rather it is really that meant for the sake of entertainment but majority will really be that going into the opposite side.

If gambling was never intended for profit, why do betting websites advertise and show people winning? The bookies want to make a profit, so they give gamblers the impression that they can win money by gambling. I have not seen an advertisement that highlights the entertainment value of gambling.

I am confident that if betting sites remove the possibility of making money from a win, there will be no more patronage. Even those who claim gambling is for entertainment will not gamble, and they will come to view gambling as boring.

As you can see, not all people approach something in the same way when judging whether it is worth of great risk or not. For some people it is entertainment, but to others it becomes hard to comprehend why it is normal to lose something of a higher standard. Regarding a situation, it is only normal that one gets shocked on how people act, particularly when it goes against our thinking. But then again, whatever ways people attach to it is, what matter most is the way we personally assign value to every single decision that we make. This way we can always detour ourselves from some things that are not valuable in life, but we end up involving ourselves in them to the extent that we get regret afterwards.

Those who say that gambling is for fun and they gamble for fun only, I think it will be fair if they accept that they have also paid a huge attention to financial component of gambling and confess that they have gone through "gambling to earn money" to "for fun". Everyone first gambled with a wish to get money. I only want to fine the line, the moment when you have realized that its either for fun or nothing; that it is impossible to earn and do it repeatedly. I believe that such stories of fails help to resist greed, trying to win bank lost balance, to hunt for impossible to get prizes.

To me it’s nothing more than entertainment. Because I injoin it when I retire. I bet that I bet not to income or to provide the money I need to manage my life. I only play gambling to rejoice in my mind sometimes. But I don’t always play. I think I’m currently becoming a habit from the game, but I don’t want to make it a habit because it’s terrible to see it in my own eyes. So I want to retire from this bet slowly. I bet this bet has introduced many people to me they are constantly betting they are winning the jackpot sometimes. But many others are giving their own money in hopes of winning the jackpot to this gambling company. And they’re going to be empty. So I think it’s better to avoid gambling.

I do have that believe too but you know you can't really say for everyone, it's either you are up there or down there, you can't be the two to understand how everyone play out. There could be a rich man that just want to have fun you know and spend some of his money for no reason and there could be another guy down there working his ass up to feed his mouth and gambling to win some money.

Whatever works for everyone, that's their way of life but I just hope no one becomes addicted with gambling, it doesn't end well when you gamble to the point you become addicted, what you get that time is not gambling again but a big problem you might find hard to leave whether for fun or for money.

Yes, gamblers need to stick to strategy and experience, which can indeed be more advantageous than anything; but there is no way that one can be certain to be constantly winning. Opportunity is still an important element and that is why some people fail to acknowledge it because they put more stock in their strategy. Whenever a person puts all their efforts into a mission to look for an opportunity to overcome something that can be considered as beyond one’s control, it is not very difficult to find oneself trapped into this as a seemingly irresistible and rather dangerous compulsion. This tendency of wanting to succeed always makes a person to sink further into the pit without knowing that the more one tries the more he or she will likely to fail. This is the reason why the issue of self-restriction must be understood well so that gambling does not turn into something worse nowadays.

this seems to be somehow the situation almost all the time or at least for me i do think it has something to do with psychology but i also know that it is just purely coincidental but sometimes there are times that when you are too determined or motivated you fail more but when you are relaxed and not that frustrated that is when you end up winning when it is unexpected

like i said i do think it is psychological because you are trying to chase wins too much so you are expecting to win every after game but when you are relaxed you do not expect anything any win feels unexpected and surprising

When it comes to gambling, the mindset should be like this, although we all have one ultimate goal that we can win at some point.
However, keeping expectations low is the best decision here because we all know that in gambling, losses can be high and wins can be low. So initially we need to prepare a certain amount of fund which will not have any impact on us even if we lose and after that fund is exhausted we need to take a break from gambling for that day or week.

It's only people that doesn't see money making in gambling and doesn't have anything to do outside see gambling as entertainment, majority of people see gambling as a place where they can make some change and some people have strong beliefs that they can make a life changing money from gambling, no matter what you tell them their opinion is what they believe in.

Whatever you think gambling is about, I'm fine by it as long as you are not addicted and your losses are not that affecting you financially or your losses is not more than what you have gain then, you are on the right track or either entertainment and the money.

The only exception to this is if the player is gambling on skill based games, example of such games is Poker and a few other card games, I consider this as an exception because these kinds of games requires more of the player’s skills and experience and also the player’s ability to predict the opponent’s next move, though luck is needed too at some point but not as much as it’s needed when playing other casino games or sports betting.

Even when gambling on games that are said to be "skill-based" I still think it is something that is still very much avoided. No, what I mean is this, in gambling it will usually be very close to emotions. And when we become emotional, then any abilities that are possessed will be lost at that very moment.

That is if I assume that skills have an effect, but until now I also do not think so.

Well, I’d say that the ability to control and completely be in charge of one’s emotions when gambling is also a skill, this is because, not every gambler possess this ability, but anyone can also possess it if he is determined to learn it. Controlling one’s emotions when dealing with something that involves money is pretty difficult I must say, but when mastered, it gives the player an advantage, whether in skill based games or in luck based games. So yes, either ways, I guess one still needs some skills, because even if luck is on one’s side and he happen to win repeatedly, if he lacks the skill to actually control his emotions, he may end up putting everything back into the casino and maybe if his luck as ram out, he’ll lose it all.

Although there are different opinions, some people see it as a form of entertainment where they want to have fun and excitement, while others see it as a way to make quick money, and they are the ones who suffer the most. If you see gambling as a way to make quick money, you should remember that it is a high-risk game. Many people think that they can win big today, but in reality, it often leads to defeat. Such an attitude can cause long-term damage. So, you can play gambling for entertainment, but I think it is better not to gamble to earn money.
If you think that gambling is a way to earn money, then it is very important to have a clear idea of ​​the consequences associated with the risks. In that case, you must proceed with experience. You gain experience by making small bets, then you can make big bets. It can be successful, but I think the risk is high.

The issue with some gamblers is not that they gamble for money, but that they are greedy. There is a higher likelihood that any greedy gambler will engage in problematic gambling. Most gamblers become addicted not because they want to make money from gambling, but because they want to win big.

Even where such a gambler win a reasonable amount as seen in the eyes of an average gambler, they continue to gamble because it appears small to them. Gamblers who think like this will have a difficult time trying to win a grand audit.

I think gambling should be taken to have fun and enjoy the ball, but it can never cause excessive people or financial loss until you are addicted to it and can’t control your bet. Some people enjoy the little plaintiffs, while some play for just money that ruin their wealth in a long term. I think that if a gambling should be kept under control, gambling can become a profitable and fun experience without having to do so you must control yourself and play a pleasant one on the one hand, as well as benefit on the other and on the right side.

You're right, things are like that because things can be very different if we see them from the point of view of strategy and tactics, poker by nature has Always been a very popular game and yes,  I would say that it depends a lot on the strategy that the Player makes and although it involves a bit of luck , things are usually quite good when you believe in them Many chess players have left it only to Dedicate themselves to poker, it's because it seems that Strategy can really work and make Money.

All you need in poker is a solid game plan to stand a chance of winning. Really I’m not surprised that some chess players decided to switch to poker, Chess is another great game I love too cos both games requires critical thinking, a great dose of strategy and the ability to predict and counter their opponent’s next move. A player who’s already great at chess stands a better chance of playing poker and those chess skills can indeed serve the player well when playing poker.

Even when gambling on games that are said to be "skill-based" I still think it is something that is still very much avoided. No, what I mean is this, in gambling it will usually be very close to emotions. And when we become emotional, then any abilities that are possessed will be lost at that very moment.

That is if I assume that skills have an effect, but until now I also do not think so.
Well, I’d say that the ability to control and completely be in charge of one’s emotions when gambling is also a skill, this is because, not every gambler possess this ability, but anyone can also possess it if he is determined to learn it. Controlling one’s emotions when dealing with something that involves money is pretty difficult I must say, but when mastered, it gives the player an advantage, whether in skill based games or in luck based games. So yes, either ways, I guess one still needs some skills, because even if luck is on one’s side and he happen to win repeatedly, if he lacks the skill to actually control his emotions, he may end up putting everything back into the casino and maybe if his luck as ram out, he’ll lose it all.
That is a case that we often hear when someone has won the game but they can't stop then they will lose all the winnings they have earned.

However, emotional control is more important in this case. The assumption that gambling is a skill but if you can't control your emotions then the result is still the same.

All you need in poker is a solid game plan to stand a chance of winning. Really I’m not surprised that some chess players decided to switch to poker, Chess is another great game I love too cos both games requires critical thinking, a great dose of strategy and the ability to predict and counter their opponent’s next move. A player who’s already great at chess stands a better chance of playing poker and those chess skills can indeed serve the player well when playing poker.
Me too, in fact I am more skilled at chess than poker, and this thing about switching from chess to poker is like a trend, it's an easier way to make money, I think that's the reason why many chess players switch to poker, because chess is much more complicated and all that concentration and strategy if it is limited or carried over to poker I think it will give very good benefits, in poker things may seem easier, but there is a lot of pressure, adrenaline, it takes a lot.

This is one of the reasons that most people avoid gambling. It is not always about winning, but about how you use your winnings. It is not prudent to lose everything to gambling after putting in a lot of effort predicting with no results only to win and then still lose all to gambling. This is the case of most gamblers.

Losing may not occur immediately, but in the long run, the gambler may realize that what they have won has been returned to the bookies. This is why to be a good gambler you must be able to control your emotions as you noted because firstly it will make you lose less and secondly it will help you utilize wins.

Not just in this case but every other cases in gambling I believe. And gambling itself isn’t actually a skill, but the ability for a gambler to actually control their emotions while gambling is the actual skill there that every gambler needs in order to succeed in gambling.

There’s been several cases of countless losses by gamblers due to their inability to control their emotions while gambling, it doesn’t matter how well the gambler knows how to predict his games, if he lacks the ability to control his emotions, his sessions will always end in losses.

And this is one of the most difficult things in the world, controlling economies, many of us tell you, in fact there are times when you can't and you end up losing a lot of money, so for the simple fact of being human, we don't let ourselves be carried away by the seventies, impulses, emotions, all this sometimes plays against us when it comes to games with money, when it comes to money you have to take a break and try to play more with your brain and Reason than with your emotions, it's easy to say, but difficult to do.

Yes, Effective ways of handling finances in one or the other condition is no easy task and when there are pressures or even encouragements that people are not even aware of. Sometimes one feels quite sure that everything is going to be all right but sometimes things go from bad to worse and the decisions made are not always beneficial. Emotions play a great role in this process as people, regardless of their background, cannot totally remove emotions and instincts which occur naturally. It is so with money and many a times, the events happen unexpectedly when you are left ruing a missed fortune after experiencing an unfortunate event or a misfortune. All of this is evidence of quite a convoluted process that people have with the values ​​and choices that concern money.

Well that's what I mean, maybe this doesn't only apply to gambling, but in trading that relies heavily on skills and knowledge when they can't control their emotions well, then the trading they do will end in huge losses.

Therefore, this is what gamblers should be aware of, it would be better to throw away all thoughts that they can win in gambling.

I will say this with humanity, you see gambling and emotions works all together why, see because where ever there is finance there is emotion that attached to it while we can't control it that much. So, as a gambler immediately you stake any amount for whatever game you gambling you thinking and mindset changes automatically because there is money involved that is why when you are playing natural game with money you plays it with free mind, typical example is; when you are trading on demo account there are much feeling attached and even though your account is sweep off you don't have anything to worry rather you would adjust yourself to make out something after you might requested for a top-up, but when you go live trading you see yourself sweating and thinking higher at this point you are only looking for a means not to lose any penny while trading. Same thing is applicable to gambling.

If you approach gambling simply as entertainment, then earnings are possible, but not permanent. Professional poker players, for example, spend a lot of time honing their skills. For some players, this is their main form of income. But making money from slot machines is an occasional income.....

Yeah absolutely.
This is one amongst several features which gambling shares with Trading, although having self control doesn’t guarantee that the gambler will continuously or consistently keep winning, no; losses are inevitable, regardless of how much self control you’ve got as either a gambler or trader. Having self control over your emotions only gives one an advantage and the opportunity to avoid making certain mistakes that would’ve resulted into more losses.

At least that's something we should pay attention to very well, not to seek greater profits but to minimize the losses that we will get later. Whatever it is, we can't always want to get profits, especially consistent wins from gambling. From the initial concept of gambling being made, we should have been able to understand what gambling is like.

You are right that gambling should not be conducted only for the purpose of making profit, but in many cases, reducing the level of losses is also a big responsibility. If it is possible to reduce losses, then gamblers can gamble for a long time. This will definitely increase their pleasure. There are some gamblers who only deposit and lose it in a short time. They cannot survive in gambling for a long time. To enjoy the pleasure from gambling in the long term, gambling should be considered as fun, not just money.

Based on my observation here in my place, gambling is more of some sort of earning money than having it as for fun. I also did that when I was still in my gambling sessions before but since I already quit it's not gonna happen again. Anyways, my friends and relatives and other people who are involved in gambling here in my place expects something big from gambling and that is why I said they play for money than fun. They spend much on it more than what I did before and that is quite surprising.

Indeed, the only reason why people often have this huge misconception of gambling is simply because they really do not understand that actual concepts of gambling, and that’s why they’re like, it’s either the big bag or nothing. Even some of those who prioritize profitability over the thrill in gambling could still stand a chance of making actual profit when/if they take it nice and easy.

I used to have this page where the page owner drops sportsbook codes of at least 3 games with about 2 odds everyday, and out of the three games, at least 2 games is usually successful. for someone who is not greedy, could take at least one game everyday, and if he’s lucky, he could win more time than he loses, thereby being on constant profit, so it’s actually possible to be in profit in gambling, but one must know exactly when to stop, and how to control one’s emotions.

It means the same in my area also some people gamble to make money not for fun... The proof is that they sell property to cover debts used for gambling after losing the property many of them become bankrupt due to gambling.
So never consider gambling to make money but for fun, so even losing is not a problem because you are ready and know the risks.

A large number of people believe that gambling can be a source of income, but usually, it brings more harm than good. When a person begins to sell heels in order to feed the losses it sharply points to the fact that gambling has become a burden to the person and it is not any more entertainment to him or her. In this way, getting carried away will be prevented and only a few cents will be wagered with the aim of earning it back many times over by participating in successful lottery schemes. Self-restraint and understanding the boundaries are the aspects that should be taken into consideration in order not to end up in behaviours’ cycle which is rather hard to manage.

I would say that majority of gamblers will really be having this kind of mindset on which they would really be that playing for the sake of money or making an income on which this is really that something which is really that not recommended. Gambling for the sake of fun and entertainment and this will be the best approach into this rather than on making yourself that being that too impulsive and desperate when dealing up with gambling. Its really that best that you should be that sensible into the actions that you are making. People do only make out those regrets at the time that they are experiencing some issues specially on money. This is why it will be that up to you on what are the decisions and actions that you do need up to follow. Making use of your own common sense on which is bad and good.

You’re right. Those who actually gamble for the money, rather than enjoying the pleasure of gambling, you let yourself go through the pressure of losing more than you initially planned. And this is the situation most gamblers always find themselves, and the worst part of it all is that some gamblers do not even realize that the reason they usually find themselves in such situations is due to their wrong approach and strategy, and until they actually correct that misconception they’ll still likely find themselves in same situation again.

Is there even pleasure in gambling. How do gamblers even claim to be enjoying gambling when they are not winning. As far as I know, the pleasure we get from gambling is that joy which comes from winning.

I have been in the position where I lost and also in a position where I won and my experience is that you can only get pleasure when you win.

What you are said that is really true, that joy never come from lost. I think the  people who enjoy they are loss they may the psycho people.
But when we are going to doing gambling then we must have to asume that the winning amount will be less than the losses so that we will able to do the proper gambling and as well when we will view gambling by that way we will never going to spend high amount on it what we can't afford to lose.

Alright I’ll suggest something for you, and I’d like you to try it and also observe how it goes. Now, this can be more interesting if you’re a football fan and you have a favourite club or some club you like or enjoy their gameplay. If you have a a favourite club you’re fanning for and that club has a match with a much stronger team, and maybe the odds are against your team, take out money from your discretionary fund that you can actually afford to lose, and bet against your team, and then make sure you watch the game, then you’ll see that you can actually enjoy gambling whether you lose or win the bet, because either ways, you’ll be happy with the outcome of the game, if your team loses, you win yourself some extra cash and that’s a compensation for the loss, and if your team wins? You lose the money but your team’s victory serves as your compensation for losing the money, so it’s a win win situation.

I do not think a gambler can gamble for fun and also gambling for fun. You probably have one in the back of your mind. Every gambler has a reason why they gamble. It is difficult to find a gambler who can gamble for fun and for money at the same time.

Gamblers who want to make money from gambling will only be happy when they win because only winning will provide them with the money they desire, whereas gamblers who want to have fun are only concerned with the nature of the game itself.

Yes, it will always be alright to just have fun while gambling as long as one is not going overboard with it. It is wrong to regard it as a means of earning money as that can be a tricky pitfall that is hard to avoid while there is nothing wrong in having fun and an aim of making profits as well. It is impossible to compare gambling to the business which will have specific outcomes because luck is the decisive factor. Thus, it should be understood that only the disposable income should be used for gambling, and no other expenses should be met by such money. While keeping it in mind and making it one of the fun activities that do not have a negative implication as we grow up, the game can still be played in future.

Gamblers need to see gambling as a means of entertainment and the money they use in staking as paying for been entertained. This will help us not put profits first when gambling. If you are lucky to win your bet, it should be seen as a reward for entertaining yourself with gambling. This will help one be more responsible when gambling.

I don't see it that way because it's true that gambling is entainment but there's more to it because gambling can also be seen as a way of making extra income so if you're saying that the money used in gambling is the fee of being entained maybe out of point because gambling is one way through which people can make extra cash so apart from fun and entrainment there is also the potentials of making extra cash from it and anything that can bring cash to the table is not fun or entertainment

The fact that gambling has the potential to make people wealthy regardless of the uncertainty means that people will always gamble for money. The prospect of making money from gambling draws people in.

If bookies stop rewarding gamblers for their winnings, I am confident that the majority of gamblers, including those who claim to gamble for fun, will stop gambling.

Gambling is gambling and either for fun or for money, the intentions always involve some money. Casino are there to make money and that is not seen as bad but the moment people look at gambling for money, they make you feel like you are doing some financial mistakes but as long as it's not a borrowed fund, any one can decide what they want to do with gambling as long as it's done responsibly.

Gambling can be done for fun but if you are lucky with some, you are going to make the money you have never expected, the money you have never imagine and as long as you don't get addicted to gambling, you have that equal chance as everyone else trying it.

The gambler must determine his level. When a gambler gambles excessively, he becomes addicted. At that time, he behaves like a mad to win at gambling. Although gambling is a source of pleasure, it later becomes a source of financial gain for many.

Gambling is gambling and either for fun or for money, the intentions always involve some money. Casino are there to make money and that is not seen as bad but the moment people look at gambling for money, they make you feel like you are doing some financial mistakes but as long as it's not a borrowed fund, any one can decide what they want to do with gambling as long as it's done responsibly.

Gambling can be done for fun but if you are lucky with some, you are going to make the money you have never expected, the money you have never imagine and as long as you don't get addicted to gambling, you have that equal chance as everyone else trying it.
This is due to the basic principle that everyone has the right to do whatever they want with their money in a way that does not affect their self or the rest. It is apparently important for everybody to note that there is always a cost that is associated with entertainment regardless of the method that is used. While engaging in it with full knowledge while using money that has been set aside for this purpose, it must be regarded as a personal freedom. It should be noted that not all participants of black heightened games do it for the purpose of making great monetary gains, some simply do it for the fun of it. However, luck can occur at any time, but, it is more imperative to stay in charge of oneself. As long as somebody will be capable of defining the limits and to avoid using, for example, 5 children for one’s own advantage instead of helping five children, the choice remains with the person.

If we are to go by the way of asking them questions, that how many people have been able to acheive success in making money from gambling, only few will nhave something into say, because we are not from the first place expected to take gambling and a way of making money, instead a means to having fun and we are to use our money for that purpose, but if we are this lucky to earn from it, then this should be an advantage on us because it may not be applicable the same way on other gamblers.

The secret of gambling is that, most of the times people lose their money, as compared to the lucky few who get lucky and make a big fortune out of it. Initially this activity was in the form of a fun activity which people engaged in without it being a means of making money out of it although today there are a number of people who sometimes make money out of it especially on specific activities. When it comes to kama, this cannot be used as antecedent or estimate that similar will happen to everyone who undergoes the same procedure. It is therefore not wise for anyone to start relying entirely on luck and especially when someone has considered it wise to engage in it formally in order to earn a living. Thus, awareness in managing decisions is one of those things that cannot be overlooked in order not to hope for something that, in fact, leads to more substantial losses than profits.

is it really a secret tho? lol i do not think it is a secret that the odds of winning through gambling is slim everyone knows that not everyone can win in gambling but that is what makes winning in gambling a lot more special and those who gamble still gamble knowing that there is a possibility they would not win

but why would they still gamble? because they are hoping that they are the special lucky winner no matter how unlikely that may be

is it because life has gone so hard that people are now hanging on to all kinds of sources of income even one as risky as gambling? i mean it was hard to earn as well back then but maybe now due to more expensive lifestyles we need more sources of income

True. And this happens every single day and yet gamblers and poor people still expect that one day they will make it to hit the life changing win of their lives. We all did this not because we just want fun but sometimes we want something good other than losing.

Without this belief, no one will gamble. It is the hope that one day can be the lucky day is the reason why people despite the outcry of the majority about gambling others still find gambling profitable.

I am not sure how the betting site does it, but it appears that whenever a gambler wants to quit, he either wins or someone close to him wins, which piques the gambler's interest in continuing to gamble.

Well, to be honest with you there are people that are poor and has made money from gambling and has be able to change their life about gambling, they have made money and bought there dream life wants and need but they are few in number that has made money from gambling, only the smart ones make bold move to start something outside gambling.

Some people has made money from gambling and lose everything again on gambling, it's not about been poor but the gambling mentality of some people don't know how to manage money and they don't know when to stop and when to quit.

This shouldn't be considered or else the gambler will gradually go led himself to doom. A reasonable gambler shouldn't think of escaping poverty from gambling. The best mindset for a gambler is to gamble for fun.

What I mean is that the gambler shouldn't think of winning but should understand that he can lose money from gambling and so he should guide his stake.

i would not share that many poor people changed their lives from gambling we just hear about it a lot because it is such an inspiring story but there really has not been many of these

they all just got lucky winning a jackpot prize or some sort but i do not think a lot of it was a result of hard work and persistence in gambling specifically

I believe that everyone really wants to make it through life, especially when one has had a hard life. It also seems everyone does not wish to be in the same position with virtually no chance for improvement. Some people may attempt anything which in fact they know is dangerous because to them it is an opportunity that there is still a slim chance they could fight for. Life is not a mise en scène, and sometimes folks just want to sense the least bit victory to see that nothing is impossible. Better doesn not only means other result, but also other effort to try it.

the amount of money circulating in the gambling world is indeed quite large.., and that number also shows that the number of people involved in each bet... gambling is indeed attractive because it offers big wins for the lucky ones... pure luck alone can get that win, and many people still try to be a lucky man every day... poor people should not be allowed to gamble, yes at least until their basic living needs are met, then gambling can be an option after all basic needs are met... and the most important thing is never to let the allocation of gambling money interfere with the allocation of basic needs...

Well the money that is always generated in casinos and betting houses is immense, that is not denied, the number of gamblers who bet and play is Indescribable , I think that is one of the reasons why emotions will always be generated in others, even Among non-gamblers, what they do not know is that they want to do it because they also want to win, some do it for fun, others for fun and because they want to win money, there are always many reasons, but everything must be done with great responsibility.

If you position gambling as a source of income, then you will definitely lose all your money.
If I were to say in my case, I would definitely say that I participate in gambling for money. Perhaps most gamblers gamble for money. There are a very small number of gamblers who gamble for pleasure. One thing is very important that those who participate in gambling for money are definitely more likely to face losses

However, I came to the realization that the scales of winners and losers are not comparable because there are more losers than winners, so I would rather take a gamble for fun than as a source of income. Gambling is not the best option or way to make money; the reality of the risk involved is uncontrollable; it only overcomes you with the hope that you will win.

I believe most people come to gambling hoping to win, even those who come to have fun will have the same hope.

However, the difference is that when they lose, they can restrain themselves from continuing the game and those who come to win will continue playing until they realize they have spent a lot of money. This is what makes the difference, one of which is self-control.

No way that you can make gambling as source of your income, that is the worse that you can go in your life. So it's better to go on a normal route, have a job and make a living and bring food in the table for your family.

As for gambling, first is that we want to win some, that's why we take that risk, we are lucky if we can win, but majority is going to lose as every game, the casino has that advantage to us.

Sometimes I wonder why people still venture into gambling even when it is clear that majority of the gamblers anguish in losses. Well, I think that the gamblers who lose are motivated by the few who wins. Afterall, if there are no incidences of winning at all then it will be difficult to attract people to gamble.

Thus, the fact that people gets lucky and win once in a while then it becomes difficult to convince gamblers to gamble for fun. If we reason closely then it is clear that gambling for fun does not mean that a gambler is not losing.

The only advantage is that the gambler may not chase lose and may easily control his emotions but the truth is that not all gamblers who gambles for fun can still gamble responsibly. It depends on the gamblers level of discipline and not mainly how he perceives gambling.

There might be a few people around the world that can take gambling as their ONLY source of income, but in general, it mustn't. Maybe those poker players out there that're joining many tournaments can take gambling as their way to make money, but for casual gamblers like me, we must not look at gambling as a way to make money, but just to have fun. Yes, there's a chance for us to make money from it, but if you're looking at gambling like that, you will end up getting addicted as people always want things that will give them a chance to make money.

Our mindset matters. Look at gambling as a source of income and you will end up losing most of your money and your life might end up miserably. Look at gambling as a way to be entertained, and it will not make you affected if you will lose your money.

No responsible gambler can depend solely on gambling as a source of income, and gambling itself can never be the only source of income. For those gamblers who thinks that gambling can be adopted as a source of income always have an alternative source of making money. Even though the other source might not provide them with the level of comfort they want, there are always other options available besides gambling.

Before expecting returns, a gambler must place a wager. The money needed for the stake is always supplied by another source of income, and even during their downturns, it is this other source of income that keeps the gambler going. Actually, only a gambler who is earning money elsewhere can find enjoyment in gambling. Any gambler who relies solely on gambling for survival will starve most of the time due to the uncertainty of gambling.

This is the most important thing because we as gamblers always look for ways to win and don't realize that there will always be losses So, in light of this, the game must be respected in the sense that if we're not responsible enough, we can lose everything.

For me, the most important thing when it comes to gambling is discipline and financial control. If that doesn't exist, things will unfortunately get out of control , and it's a direct path to addiction, and that's the ultimate.

It is a common knowledge amongst gamblers that gambling involves losses but the goal is always to win and so the losses doesn't scare a gambler. If there are no losses there will be no betting sites because the betting sites are not charity organization.

The betting sites exist to make profits and their profits comes from the losses of the gambler. So a gambler cannot be ignorant of the fact that losses is the only guaranteed outcome as far as gambling is concern.

Discipline is a word that is easy to say but when done is difficult, that is why many people fail because they cannot be disciplined, this is not only in gambling, but in all aspects of life.

We must know what our limits are, without understanding ourselves, we will be trapped in something that will ultimately harm ourselves. That is also why many people suggest that we can understand ourselves.

Well here in my place since we are living in a third world country people are seeing gambling very differently from other countries perspective. Though not all but majority are doing this like seeing gambling as a source of income or fortune.

Gambling only favors the owners of the poker and gambling sites, while you as a gambler on the other hand is always at the risk of loses than winning infact, if you face the reality you would see that there is more losses than winning. This being said gambling is simply for fun infact I began having this mentality after series of losses I had while gambling, I always saw that the odds where not mostly in my favor even though it seems like it was. If you as an individual is depending on gambling as a way to escape poverty, am sorry for you because you will be highly disappointed

What I think is that gambling can be just for entertainment, it can be for making quick money but it can also be very fulfilling. Because if we take gambling in a joyful way then maybe we can earn a lot of money from this. But if someone does it to make money then he will become addicted to it day by day and there is a possibility that his life will be ruined. So I mean gambling is never for making quick money it can usually be taken in a joyful way.

As long as you are not treating gambling as some kind of magic bean that will solved your financial problems, then you are going to be fine. The thing is that there are people who thinks that gambling is like a job for them, that will give them money or at least it's the way to bring food in the table for their families because it's not.

That's why it's better if you do play to have some fun and be entertained. If we win some money they good for us. And just play with the money that you can afford to lose so that it won't ruined your life if you lose that money.

Actually I think gambling is for fun but many of us have used that opportunity to make it a way to generate wealth. Although sometimes you gets the opportunity to win a decent amount of money or even big amount of money from gamble but that doesn't prove the point that gamble is a means to earn money.
However, the chances of losing is higher than the chance of winning, so there's no point in thinking that it's a means to earn money because you might lose 99 times and win only 1 if you are probably lucky.

Yes, you are absolutely right, of course when we play and apply these things that we say, sometimes it can be very difficult for us to do them. Personally, when I was starting to apply it , it was very difficult for me, and well , I could not do that strategy with such intensity, I cannot deny that when I applied it, many times I did not comply with it and lost, but there comes a time when you say: "No more" sometimes one gets tired of losing money Playing and one has to put oneself with a unique discipline to be able to execute such a thing, in the end, if it is achieved, it even applies to trading.

From personal experience, gambling both saves and kills. The fact that it saves explains why most gamblers cannot stop gambling. They believe they will win again, so they do not give up. However, it is not reasonable to rely on gambling for survival because it is unpredictable, whereas a source of income should be stable and guaranteed.

This is significant because it is easier to plan with a consistent and guaranteed income than it is for gambling. Many plans cannot be implemented if they are based on gambling.

I'm thinking how gambling can save you. I mean we know that you can lose money in gambling so quickly depending on how much you're betting. That might be the "killer", but how can it be a "saver". Maybe if you won the lottery? Or if you won a huge amount in your bet that it changed your life? Is that what you mean?.

Anyway, we've said it numerous times already that gambling is a way for us to entertained and not a way for us to make money nor an income source because it isn't stable to begin with. In gambling, you will rely mostly on luck, and you're not lucky all the time, so how can it be a reliable income source.

Mindset matters. If you will look at gambling as a way to be entertained, losing a few bucks would be fine and you will not chase those losses. Now if you're seeing it as a way to make money, and you're not ready to lose money then there's a high chance that you will lose even more.

The bolded statement is absolutely true because gambling is inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Therefore, it's better not to rely on it as a source of income if possible. I know people who depend on gambling for their livelihood, but their lives are difficult. They lack a stable income, and as a result, their families often struggle to make ends meet.

When I hear people saying that gambling is there source of income I use to wonder how they are gambling to have been seeing the amount that's making them to think is a source of income, however I have not even seen anyone who have gamble for a whole week without losing. I could actually use myself as an example for this because sometimes i gamble for weeks without winning any stake, so if I'm using it as my source of of come how would I see the money to use and gamble again because I must have spent all I have.

From personal experience, gambling both saves and kills. The fact that it saves explains why most gamblers cannot stop gambling. They believe they will win again, so they do not give up. However, it is not reasonable to rely on gambling for survival because it is unpredictable, whereas a source of income should be stable and guaranteed.

I also concur on the fact that there are always very many repercussions when one relies on something that cannot promise a certain result. This is bad for any household as peace of the home could be disrupted when income is to be made from something. A lot of surprises occur in everyday life when the provision for basic necessities cannot be provided with any degree of assurance. You described possible situations of people you know, and this provides a fair perspective to look at such a life as inherently unstable that is hard to regulate. I can easily visualise how that stress can disrupt the family affairs and the overall foundation of the family. As I pointed out, there is a limit to luck and that is how much one can actually rely on that as a success strategy measure and the rest is simply waiting for something that may never arrive.

I'm thinking how gambling can save you. I mean we know that you can lose money in gambling so quickly depending on how much you're betting. That might be the "killer", but how can it be a "saver". Maybe if you won the lottery? Or if you won a huge amount in your bet that it changed your life? Is that what you mean?.

Anyway, we've said it numerous times already that gambling is a way for us to entertained and not a way for us to make money nor an income source because it isn't stable to begin with. In gambling, you will rely mostly on luck, and you're not lucky all the time, so how can it be a reliable income source.

Mindset matters. If you will look at gambling as a way to be entertained, losing a few bucks would be fine and you will not chase those losses. Now if you're seeing it as a way to make money, and you're not ready to lose money then there's a high chance that you will lose even more.

There are times when I have nothing and need money to pay bills, and I will be surprised to win at gambling, which allows me to pay the bills. This has happened multiple times. I remembered when I needed to pay my school fees and it was only three days until the deadline, and I got lucky. In these cases, gambling has come to the rescue.

However, I will not advise any gambler to rely on gambling to solve problems because it is unpredictable, but the reality is that it will be difficult for a gambler to face a challenge and completely ignore gambling. I believe only a few gamblers have been able to train their minds to this level. Gambling has traditionally been an option for most gamblers in distress times.

Here in my place that is very common that is why when luck isn't on their course they get disappointed and sometimes can cause trouble either in the arena or booth and for worst their family are also affected due to bad temper and arriving home drunk. This has been happening since the day they've introduced or influenced from gambling and sad to say it can be passed to the next generations luckily for me I already quit gambling.

No way that you can make gambling as source of your income, that is the worse that you can go in your life. So it's better to go on a normal route, have a job and make a living and bring food in the table for your family.

As for gambling, first is that we want to win some, that's why we take that risk, we are lucky if we can win, but majority is going to lose as every game, the casino has that advantage to us.

I think this is not right because gambling we can take it for our pleasure we will never use it to earn money. Even though we do it for earning money but due to our luck and guess we will never be able to win here or we will always have losses here. We will face losses here again and again. Yes even if we do this we can do it with 5% of our total money, and we can see here how is our source of life here.

All those who are saying that they are gambling for funs should not complain when they lose and should be happy and laugh. And for those who are gambling to win should complain because they lose money and their hope is to win the game and not to lose it but losing is compulsory where we can't avoid it. As foe me, I am gambling to win my either the capital deposited or add a profile as the potential win.

And I believed anyone who deposited one to gamble must hope to win back the deposit plus the extra profit and when he lose out, he will definitely have the the pain.

When someone enters a game which carries some risk with money, there is a natural expectation that the money can result in more money. I feel it is not just about wanting to win, but simple logic: nobody wants to lose something they’ve earned. The disappointment that exists is not for the result because the effort and belief that was put in during the process, had grown. When someone claims that he plays someone for a reason, such as entertainment or results, the response still comes later from an emotional tie to the outcome.

Based on my observation here in my place, gambling is more of some sort of earning money than having it as for fun. I also did that when I was still in my gambling sessions before but since I already quit it's not gonna happen again. Anyways, my friends and relatives and other people who are involved in gambling here in my place expects something big from gambling and that is why I said they play for money than fun. They spend much on it more than what I did before and that is quite surprising.
It means the same in my area also some people gamble to make money not for fun... The proof is that they sell property to cover debts used for gambling after losing the property many of them become bankrupt due to gambling.
So never consider gambling to make money but for fun, so even losing is not a problem because you are ready and know the risks.
The initial purpose of a gambler's gambling may change later. Some people do not gamble for financial gain, but later become addicted gamblers and lose all their assets. The gambler must determine his level. When a gambler gambles excessively, he becomes addicted. At that time, he behaves like a mad to win at gambling. Although gambling is a source of pleasure, it later becomes a source of financial gain for many.

Yes there are some people who do not play gambling for financial gain they just want to take it for pleasure. But when they lose repeatedly and lose their money then they get greedy to recover their loss they slowly become addicted to gambling and gradually they use it for financial gain. But although we should think that it is not for our financial gain it is only for entertainment.

For the time being, the crypto market hasn't been directly impacted by Trump decisions regarding tariffs. Trump once said he wants to see the stock market and crypto go to the moon, and I believe he wasn't just kidding but actually has a concrete strategy to make that happen.

TRUMP memecoin is proof of skin in the game. We can wait for Trump actions to stimulate the US economy while attracting capital inflow into the crypto market. Unfortunately, not everyone currently holds BTC to continue being patient with the market.

I agree with you, in fact, one of the nations that has had the Hardest time accepting is China and because of these things they have imposed 34% more because they oppose more tariffs on the USA, more than 50 countries have called Trump to negotiate those tariffs, I think Trump has taken good control over the economy, investors are slowly realizing what he is doing and they know that it is not crazy, it is a necessary evil that must end, even so BTC and some other stocks or currencies like gold are the most valuable so far.

I also don't see gambling as a source of income, it is just for fun and excitement, but if you are lucky enough to make more profit from gambling there is nothing wrong with that. Gambling work base on luck, and just as you win, you can also lose which is uncertain. There is positive side of gambling and there is also negative side of gambling, so that is the main reason why you shouldn't depend solely on gambling and sees it as a source of income.

Yeap, even we could take gambling as an income source if it was skill based result, but what we just found on it, it only depends on luck.
You can't just constantly win in gambling just becuase of you know a sports well or do good analysis on that because even if you do the good analysis at the end of the day that also depends on the luck. So we can't just through our life and career just on the luck based things to earn. So we should choose a proofession where hard work will bring the money.

Uncertainty can give gamblers the excitement of winning, some may win, while many will lose. Those who think of income from gambling may rather lose their money. That is why when gambling, gamblers are advised to keep the money in the bet so that if they lose the money, they do not have to worry too much. Those who are trying to gamble as a source of income should stop gambling immediately. If the gambler can use a small amount of his monthly income from gambling only for entertainment, then gambling is suitable for him.

yes it’s certainly exciting but i think why most gamblers still try to gamble despite the risks and uncertainty is because of the promise of money when you win after all the odds it will definitely make you feel excited and you might feel like you are on top of the world

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.

If you see gambling as an avenue to make quick money then you just have lose a lot in gambling because with what i know, yea we can make money through gambling and as a matter of fact many gamblers gambles for the money no doubt but we must be aware of the reality which is losing, this occurrence is a must so no matter how smart and cunning we think we can be, it is a must that we are going to lose so it is better we gamble with what can afford to lose to avoid being a loss chaser that may lead us to being addicted gambler, when you gamble with what you can afford to lose, you save yourself the stress of feeling very worried when you lose.

Discipline is a word that is easy to say but when done is difficult, that is why many people fail because they cannot be disciplined, this is not only in gambling, but in all aspects of life.

We must know what our limits are, without understanding ourselves, we will be trapped in something that will ultimately harm ourselves. That is also why many people suggest that we can understand ourselves.
I understand you and yes, you are absolutely right. In fact, when it comes to discipline, I have a lot of it in sports, but in casinos, betting, and even trading, it had cost me a lot , But after one does not have that discipline and the results are losing money, there comes a time when you say no more and you begin to have that discipline that is always very necessary , Then, money, or the lack of it, is what should drive us to have that much-desired discipline.

The safest thing for a gambler is to be disciplined. Any gambler who is disciplined can stay longer in gambling. Such gamblers will understand the danger in excessive gambling and apply caution. The joy in gambling is for a gambler to have his income intact regardless of whether he wins or not.

It is at this point that a gambler can even gamble for fun and not get ruined financially. Staying discipline to me is a virtue as long as gambling is concerned because not all  gambler can stay disciplined in the face of losses.

In risk management, we have no influence over the outcome, as it depends on events that have happened and those that are likely to happen. If we do not let ourselves to be carried away too much by the high expectations, then gambling can turn to be more enjoyable without causing troubles afterward. In fact, many of us have tendencies of going beyond what has been provided as a limit to the task at hand. Because of this desire to gain more often we areforced to make decisions that we should not make. This is an interesting fact to ponder upon and makes one wonder that when one is not in charge, things happen and change so fast and one does not even know it. Thus, the question lies in pursuing what we like and being able to still challenged and find it relatively easy to overcome those barriers that has been imposed.

In all aspects the most traditional people say they play for fun, but the most sincere for me are those who say to win money or both, I say that whenever we start playing or betting it is because we want to win, I think that nobody starts playing or betting with the desire to lose money, because that does not have feeling or logic, then we as humans must have that balance of saying why and what we want to have, that is why I always focus on the way that if we want to win money and we have fun playing, what can be done? control money so as not to lose it all, that for me is the solution.

In my opinion, none of them arrived here to surrender and willingly accept a defeat. Everybody who comes, even those who say I just came to have fun, still have some hope of winning sentiments behind that smile. We all know the mood when the opportunity is felt, and that is why the game carries on. But in the middle of that euphoria one thing that must not be left behind, is control. Because, as the storey points out, if there is no limit there is no end to it and it becomes a sort of a burden. Thus, money is not the fear of losing, but how one can make sure that the game will be continued today and the next day. The lowest form of cheaters is not when they win, but when they are defeated and yet still remain on the field without getting lost.

Since I was in football, hapkido, boxing, what has kept me in those sports the most has been discipline. If you already have something fixed in terms of discipline, it is obvious that things or activities that have to do with money, such as casinos and sports betting, you must have even more discipline, because here it is no longer forgiven, any mistake that is made directly becomes a loss of money.

That’s why when something random is to be relied on as the primary way of getting real results then the chances of being let down are very high. Gambling can be cited as being one of such things that are usually hard to anticipate and when we place high expectations on something whose nature has not been fully explained scientific ally, the pressure on the mind also rises. Not only is it due to the money that may be lost, but because the mind still insists for more result that cannot be given. On a different note, in cases where gambling is not relied on, then the game has no impact on the mental health. However, as soon as fantasies are put together with pressure, the game becomes an oppressive necessity rather than enjoyment. If emotions influence the taking of decisions, then such decisions can easily be unhealthy since we are often more easily provoked by emotions. From here, a cycle of addiction begins not due to the desire to succeed but due to the inability to accept defeat.

The beauty of gambling for entertainment is the fun and the fact that it is safer and better gambling for the sake of entertainment. I understand that gambling is a game of risk but it is more riskier gambling for money. This comes with emotional and mental stress.

This is the sole reason why many people view it as a way of having fun and not for making money as the popular opinion of gambling is. When you gamble for fun, it limits how you’ll get bothered and sad when you lose than when you gamble for money making. When money is involved, there is no doubt that you won’t feel pained when you lose, but been able to control yourself at those loses is what matters the most and the main reason why you should view it as just a game of fun. Losing everything in gambling when changing a target is due to greed and that is one of the reasons why you should gamble for fun. When it’s for fun, every little win will make you happy and move on.

In gambling, one is likely to switch goals unconsciously. Perhaps, at an early stage, the purpose was to just have fun or to be entertained, but once you get some positive outcome, which can be considered as a sort of a gain, the need to repeat the process is stimulated. Subconsciously we begin courting bigger results succeeding, and we in turn set the higher expectations that victory will go on. Actually, it is impossible to point out that the outcomes will be always as desired. When reality does not go the same way, emotional pressure will come, and disappointment can turn into a habit to keep on playing in an endeavour to cover losses. At that particular moment, the game is lost and takes a form of pressure that inflicts more negative impact on the stability of emotions.

Yes, if there is control, then gambling cannot create any obstacle for those gamblers. On the other hand, if there is uncontrolled gambling, the gambler will not be able to survive there. Those who accept gambling as fun can enjoy gambling for a long time, on the other hand, when someone gives priority to money, they quickly become addicted to it. Who gamble within their control may get lucky at some point.

The problem is that when a gambler is need and want money by all means, they don't think any other thing when gambling, the ability to make money is the only thing that rings in their head and if they priorize money than the fun of gambling, they may not win anything or even loss everything at the expense of trying to make new money.

Everyone loves money but if you are gambling and you put money making before the skill to win in gambling, you will lose everything you have made and even lose the money you have never won before most especially if you don't control your greed and the number of times you try to make back the money.

In my opinion, it is not right to consider gambling as a source of income. Because no one has ever become rich permanently by playing this game. If you play it for fun or time pass then it is okay. But I don't think it is for income at all. In fact, I also thought that it is very easy to earn money by playing gambling. But later when I saw the people around me who were losing more than winning, I realized that it can not be a source of income in any way. So in my opinion, it is better to play it for fun.

In my opinion, it is not right to consider gambling as a source of income. Because no one has ever become rich permanently by playing this game. If you play it for fun or time pass then it is okay. But I don't think it is for income at all. In fact, I also thought that it is very easy to earn money by playing gambling. But later when I saw the people around me who were losing more than winning, I realized that it can not be a source of income in any way. So in my opinion, it is better to play it for fun.
There are still lucky people who has life changing winnings in gambling no doubt about that but that is rare like one in a million. If you don't gamble you won't be able to experience win or lose but if you will then that's the time is gonna choose which type of gambler he or she will be. But as long as you are well disciplined you are good to go.

I would not gamble to try to be that one of a million who would be lucky to win a jackpot. It is not because I am unlucky, but I dont believe in winning. I think to be able to win jackpot, I have to gamble on regular basis. But since I gamble from time to time, then I should not even have plans or wish to win jackpot. I dont believe in «beginners luck». I believe in the more you play, the higher chances to get jackpot are, but I dont have enough money for a constant gambling sessions. Its only about fun for me.

True, out of 100 only 3 might have gotten the life changing wining from gambling, is as if as the seasons are passing that's how is becoming more difficult because few years back there is no month I will not hear people wining big amount and I have been with someone who had a little live changing from a wining but now the bookies has outsmarted gamblers from wining that way again. Meanwhile anybody who wants to last long and healthy in gambling need not to put gambling as their solution solver.

Gambling is not a reliable or sustainable source of income as the out sometimes are based on chance. Many people experience losses that has exceeded their wining which has lead to financial inability, but it can be enjoyed as a form of entertainment or leisure activities by prioritizing responsible gambling practices.

Gambling is a game of chance, not skill or strategy, so it is not reasonable to rely on it as a source of income. A gambler's winnings cannot be sustained even if they are fortunate because they are always at risk of losing money, and their losses could eventually outweigh their gains.

The fact that gambling outcomes are uncertain means that winning is not guaranteed no matter how confident you are or how much time you spend researching. Thus, gambling is not a good source of income.

There seems to be so many forms of gambling that present an opportunity of making money, the truth is that it is a way of practising folly. Basically, the operation of gambling is such that the outcomes can not be predicted or controlled with hard work or skill in an effort to make earn a living off it. First time luck can be easily spoilt by a series of loses that will eliminate every profit that you make. A constant and sure thing will definitely tend to be more lucrative in the long run hence, gambling should be seen and portrayed as an entertainment activity.

The fact remains that even if gambling is for entertainment there is still need for a gambler to gamble responsibly because the only reason why people are discouraged from gamblimg for money is the tendency to be financially ruined ordinarilly there is nothing wrong with chasing money through gambling.

So, if a gambler is gambling for entertainment he should still understand limitation. Reason been that our mindset is not known to the betting site and whatever is staked can be lost whether the essence is for entertainment or money making.

In my opinion, none of them arrived here to surrender and willingly accept a defeat. Everybody who comes, even those who say I just came to have fun, still have some hope of winning sentiments behind that smile.
For this reason you have to be clear and accept things as they are, first of all you have to accept that when everyone plays what they are looking for is to win money,  if they don't do that then they won't feel good, the fun is already immersed in the game, the adrenaline and all that that is felt sometimes can be called fun, but it is something that must always be considered , those who claim that they only go to play to have fun are not Capable of saying that at all times they seek to win.

Gambling should be seen as fun, anything more than that, doesn't end well, it shouldn't be welcomed because the after effect of it can put someone finance on bankruptcy. At times people's forget themselves when gambling, they thought that since gambling can give them quick money, they can actually engage in it, forgetting that losses involved is way more than the wins

Technically gambling may look attractive as it offers a chance of winning with a richer pay out relatively faster, this is not the real truth. Most people develop a reckless attitude towards gambling thinking that they will win while the chances of winning are farthest from the truth than the chances of losing. This is the case because when the ego rush and the high of getting a boost for some time is the driving force, people can fail to see how much more can be lost if continued. This is not to mean that gambling should at all be prohibited entirely, but details about its possibilities, dangers, and repercussions must be spelled out. To avoid running it out of control, it should be treated as entertainment and not a method through which they can make quick money.

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.

Defeat and losses are two things that are inevitable, defeat, in the sense when it is a game that deals with playing with people of same skills or better, and who wins goes with the prize, while losses, when it comes to a game of 50/50 chances of winning or losing. The reason for seeing or taking gambling for fun, is to avoid financial trauma when facing loses, and with that, one can control how they play or gamble.

On a more reasonable fact, it is not right to take gambling as a means or source of income or making money, cause, it can lead to losing more than what you get at the end of the day. When it is taken as a means of making money, then greed and addiction is driving in, and when there is loses, the desire of regaining those losses will seat in, until your funds have run down before waking up from the nightmare.

For some, gambling is a source of income, while for others, gambling is an important way to pass the time. For those who have little need for money, gambling is definitely a source of entertainment. For those who do not have money but constantly need money, gambling is definitely a source of income.

That is common argument when people talk about gambling. Some people definitely see it just as something fun to do little bit of excitement with chance to win extra money. But for many others idea of making money fast is big draw even though they know they are more likely to lose in end.

For me while gambling can be little bit fun thinking of it as sure way to make money quickly is very risky but keep in mind I don't gamble I am just sharing my opinion. Most gambling games are set up so that people running them are more likely to win which means you probably can not win consistently. Even though excitement of possibly winning fast money is easy to understand depending on gambling as your main way to earn money is usually not safe financial plan. Fact is that you are probably going to lose like you said shows how risky it is. You are more likely to lose money over time.

I believe that there is still nothing wrong with it so long as they understand the moderation that comes with it. But when something that wanted only the come to make you happy becomes somewhere where you pin your dreams the situation can become a big issue. Even if the hope is small, it is because the system is set out to slowly kill your hope little by little. Money is not luck, but people’s work and their choice . If you fully realise that you will not be able to win but engage yourself in such acts because you wish to feel the thrill, you are within your rights. However, if such pleasure becomes a routine which you can not overcome easily, then it is high time to come to the bitter truth. There is no need to blame, but to be able to retake control of one’s life back once more.

Wins and losses is an integral game of gambling and the ability of a gambler to manage these outcomes will help the gambler manage his stake. This can be easily managed when the mindset of a gambler is healthy. Healthy in the sense that the gambler is not pushed to gamble because of he wants to make money.

A gambler who is concerned about making money through gambling can easily develop greed and chase losses since he can never be at rest until he makes money but sadly no amount of money can make a gambler take a break rather the more he wins the more he wants to gamble abs the higher thr tendency to lose more money.

Everyone can believe what they want to believe but there is nothing bad in having mission to make money from gambling on a neutral ground and by neutral I mean you doing your thing with little amount of money and enjoy the good time and not the one that you will have problems you will want to use the money for, such behavior makes you shift from the original aim.

Gambling and expecting money isn't really that bad but when you are gambling and you have it in your mind that you want to make use the money to buy car, use the money to sort of things, that's when it get ugly especially when things doesn't go as well planned.
