Gamling as a entertainment

[DragonF]

Well, that's something I often find in my environment. Indeed, they don't spend money to play video games, unlike gambling. But still, the time they spend is very much and becomes unproductive.

The problem is they always complain about not having a job, while all they do is play video games all day. Because if they could reduce their habits a little, I think there are many things they can do that can make money.

It is a norm that something you do always can make you always think of doing it all the time, even when sleeping you are seeing yourself doing it and when you are alone you want to do it. Just like the video game that you said above. I was also a fan of video games and I love playing and spending a lot of time on it. But the difference between video game and gamble is that you will not lose anything but enjoy the fun by playing over and over again. While in gambling, you are using money meaning you are losing the funds that you are suppose to use for important things. That alone can make you become emotional and when you get addicted, you are finished because whenever you have funds you gamble with it.

I am also a person who likes video games, but when it has become an addiction until we forget the time, then it is still something wrong in my opinion.

You are right, maybe we will not lose money when playing video games, but if the time we spend is too much, it is also bad. How many opportunities might we miss while we play video games? Anything done excessively is not good.

Today I heard from a psychologist (YouTube interview) who said that regular computer games are the first step to gambling. And I critically disagree. Computer games give excitement and interest in their plot, but nothing more. It is possible that opening chests and cases erases the line between the game and gambling, but I don’t really believe in this either.

I agree with you. I don't see any correlation between playing computer games and becoming a gambler. There are so many gamblers who didn't play computer games yet they are gambling and also there are individuals who love to play computer games yet they are not associated with gambling.

My opinion is that playing video games does not correlate to gambling while they both involve elements of risk and reward. yes, I agree that many gamblers are not associated with gambling and gamers who are not into gambling. they are both the same for they give entertainment

Without a doubt, they both provide entertainment, but if a gambler is gambling for profit rather than for fun, he or she will not find gambling entertaining. The reason for this is that such a gambler must lose, and when you lose, your primary concern is to recoup your losses, which will undoubtedly distort the emotion of such a gambler because his intention, to make money, has not been realized.

Regardless of whether we agree or not with what the psychology conveys, I think there is something we can learn from what it conveys. If we look at the shell alone with what is conveyed then we may not have any correlation at all, because I also see those who like to play games do not gamble, and vice versa.

However, if I personally translate what is said then I think a little out of the context of what is being discussed, namely the effects of gambling and playing games are not much different (if excessive or addicted).

That is very true. A gambler that looks forward to profit from gambling will never enjoy it and there's a bigger burden on their hearts because they have to win, to make money.
But if they are not winning, they'd feel bad about themselves and on how bad a gambler they are because they're not lucky.
That happens at most times when gamblers have the aim to make money and the feeling is heavier when they are winning nothing and that gives the emotion of them really in bad shape.

Personally, I do not see anything wrong with a gambler feeling bad when he does not win, but he should not feel bad enough to misbehave. I believe that when a gambler feels bad, he should learn to gamble responsibly, knowing that anger will not prevent further loss. In fact, the more angry you become, the more likely you are to lose focus and gamble recklessly. As a result, a gambler should learn to control his emotions regardless of the situation, because at the end of the day, a gambler's emotions will only affect himself. As you mentioned, he will bear the burden alone.

I totally agree with you. A tendency to lose at gambling can lead to over-emotions that cause him to lose even more. A gambler should exert control over himself so that he can remove himself from the gambling board due to unexpected losses. Later he can start again and use the experience of the past days and thus a successful gambler can justify his money. A combination of the attitude that he will not lose every time and that he will not win every time can make him a successful gambler and should consider gambling as a form of entertainment.

Owners of betting platforms are trying to erase this line at the expense of cyber sports tournaments, on which you can place bets. But in any case, if someone plays single games, where the main thing is the plot, then such a person will never become addicted to gambling. Because single games are like living books. And their main advantage is interest, not excitement.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Yes the major causes of addiction is mostly linked to financial, psychological and emotional issues, and it's important to locate which is the root cause as it'll help one know the necessary steps towards addressing the addiction.

Normally we as humans are always affected by the same things, the emotional, in fact if we could manage the emotional we would be very evolved beings, I personally know that I function very emotionally, that's why my strategy will always be to control the money to spend, and let out more coins while I am spending the money that I have available only to spend, I don't see another solution there, there could be other solutions, but I think that the main thing for us as players is that, emotions, sometimes they make us win, other times they lose.

Computer games that involve monetary transactions can lead to gambling. Many are involved and regularly addicted to free games even though they are not gambling. What should be called a free addict?

There is nothing wrong when someone feels that way. It's a normal reaction by most of us whenever we're losing.
Whether we're an active and daily gambler or someone that just gambles occasionally. It's true with what you've said that if a gambler becomes angry because of his losses, that's how easy he is going to be defeated because that makes him lose his temper, emotion and everything.

But I think that if a gambler bet with little amount of amount or should I rather say an amount they can afford to lose, that means they can't be angry about such amount of moeny. It's only when you use money that is so dearly and important to you the feeling of emotionally disappointment worries you when you lost the money.

It's nature of human being to think about money when they see an opportunity and that's why you see alot of people gamble and make money every day despite saying they are gambling for fun. In public, they might says they are cool with the fun but the main intention is money minded.

A gambler's tendency to be impulsive leads him to more losses. Yes gambling can give you more losses than wins and you should be very patient with each sequence level. Keep calm when you lose and withdraw when you win because addiction is much more harmful for you. After gambling you should withdraw yourself as soon as you win to go home with the profit. Also withdraw yourself when losing bets continuously.

Computer games that involve monetary transactions can lead to gambling. Many are involved and regularly addicted to free games even though they are not gambling. What should be called a free addict?

Yes, maybe that could be a fitting name, even though they don't involve money to play, but indirectly they also lose a lot of time. Maybe they don't lose money, but don't they lose opportunities with the time they spend? Of course not.

There is a saying that time is money, based on that, we can certainly judge what are the losses for those who are "addicted to free". Unfortunately, not everyone can realize that.

[LUCKMCFLY]

The best way to control your gambling activities is to only game with an amount that you can afford to lose and see gambling as a means of entertainment and not a means of getting rich.

I give that an amen, there is no other way, apart from the benefits of doing things this way you can intuit that when that conviction is taken the same Strategy is capable of controlling people's emotions , because when playing with a limited balance and willing to lose Everything you can give , like bringing our emotions to the surface then I think that will make the Experience much more Pleasant , and at the end of it all when a Person plays and loses their money it is better to have that Perception and not that of being bad and regretful for playing , if you lose at least you are left with the fun of having had a great time.
