Gambling: for fun or to earn money?

[armanda90]

It is true that the victory obtained is based on luck, if calculated with a ratio of 70:30% where 70% of bets always lose, not win, if you have lost too much, it is no longer for fun but only to pursue curiosity "how can you lose"

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.
Not matter with how much money do you have and you come from rich person when start gambling, but if you loss every bet I believe make them will frustrated because how difficult get winning ratio in gambling although few percent only?

This alone should be a good reading for gamblers to realize that gambling is not supposed to be taken as a full time job or a means to earn money - the moment you get engulfed by the thought of making gambling your money making scheme that’s the moment you start walking to your destruction because there’s a high probability of getting addicted to it.

.
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.

For me it is for fun. ain't putting my life at stake for the money.

[ErinOrtiz]

Gambling can be a form of entertainment for some people, while for others, it is a way to earn money. It ultimately depends on the individual and their reasons for gambling.

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.

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.

This alone should be a good reading for gamblers to realize that gambling is not supposed to be taken as a full time job or a means to earn money - the moment you get engulfed by the thought of making gambling your money making scheme that’s the moment you start walking to your destruction because there’s a high probability of getting addicted to it.

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.

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.

[AndreasMccann]

I get it, thank you

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.

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? Merely, I wager in order to increase my earnings. Because I don't have sufficient funds, I can't bet for pleasure. However, I might do so once I have a sufficient income.

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.

You should really be that going into the fun side if you dont like on getting that having tons of problems when it comes to finances and thats the most important thing that you must do when dealing up with gambling. It is really just that for the sake of fun when you are that being too optimistic about making profits then it will really be that having that huge problem. Earning money is really just that a bonus on the fun that you have got on gambling and never ever make yourself having this kind of approach on trying out to extract profits as much as you could because this will be that resulting into desperation on which this isnt really that good when it comes to this manner.

[Didia Sofunichi]

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 think you have a point here. Gambling will always disappoint those that put there trust and faith in it. Research has shown credibly that a gambler is always a failure.

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.
