Gambling: for fun or to earn money?

[Cryptsafe]

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.

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.

Personally, I think it's a bit of both. I remember when I first started gambling, it was all about the thrill and excitement.

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.

I think both. Some people take gambling as fan and some people take gambling as seriously earn. Although most of people take gambling for earning money. Gambling mainly depend on luck and knowledge. Both are need for a experienced gambler.
I am also a gambler. And i gamble for earning.

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.
