The pleasure lies in the art of gambling itself, I usually gamble on soccer how happy it is when the team we hold scores goals and we can see the moody facial expressions of our opponents and it makes me very happy. the problem of winning or losing is already at risk from playing gambling.
But thats a social output and not always is it going to manifest unless you are betting with your friends - maybe in the same casino face to face or just in the same room you got a pot on which you are betting.
The social aspect of gambling being friend getting together and a friendly bet on a soccer game does sound nice and "fun". Maybe someone in future might come up with such an idea how friends could decide on a pot contributed by them with cryptocurrencies and then place bets in attempt to win the pot.
