Is Gambling for Fun a Reality or an Expression?

[Didia Sofunichi]

Claiming to gamble for fun is like a trader who opens a shop a claims he's not selling for profit but for fun.

I personally think people who claim to gamble for fun are not being sincere neither are They honest.

Gambling is solely to make money

Absolutely, even those who claim to be gambling for fun will feel bad if they do not win. Not winning means losing money, and no gambler will be happy to see their finances depleted for the sake of having fun with an activity that could earn money. The only excitement in gambling comes from winning, and so where is the fun without winning? 

Even if a gambler is gambling for fun, he may not immediately realize how much he has lost. However, as soon as he realizes that he needs an income statement analysis, he will start to see how gambling affects his income, and I am confident that this analysis will reveal more losses than gains, leaving the gambler unhappy.

Life always has it that every move we make always has consequences, whether explicitly acknowledged or not. In the instance of gambling, we may seem to desire to have a momentary kind of fun or a kind of escape. However, we are required to think of what we are really chasing in the activity and how the activity is affecting the balance of our lives. That being so, there are many other forms of existing and enjoying life, without necessarily exposing ourselves and other. Real happiness, most of the times is associated with activities that are helpful for the long-term, for instance, building healthier, better, or more constructive relationships, learning to create or build etc. Thus choosing a health and positive approach, one opens up space where positive growth occurs that leads to authentic joy.
