Do you feel fun when you lose $100?
What about losing $1000 or $10000 when you gamble? Does it make you feel it was all fun?

I see many posters here in this Gambling Discussion forum claiming (usually with broken English) that gambling is fun, that there is no pain nor suffering when you lose money... because it's all fun, it's great, the best thing in the world ....

So I'd like to ask you honestly - how is it "fun" when you lose money? What makes it fun - the prediction of what's gonna happen next? The winnings make it fun? But no one can win 100% of the times, right? (except for the house)

I'd love to see one of those posters explain to me, rationally, how exactly they perceive it to be fun? Please try to explain yourself rationally (with broken English if necessary).

No, that won't be fun for me to lose 100$ because that will affect my budget and I amn't very rich to consider 100$ like it's 10 cent. But why to play/bet with 100$ ? For me 10$ is affordable, for others - 1000 and even more.
But I look gambling like this way: You pay some money in order to play particular game (like you pay money to buy Assassin's Creed, download from ubisoft and play).
Some people get fun from playing Call Of Duty while others get nervous because they can't pass some levels and etc, there are a lot of reasons that makes some happy and some - unhappy.
Personally I think it depends on person, I can get fun from playing blackjack live because it's different experience, you can talk with dealer and etc, that's fun and in order to get this fun, you need to pay some money, always place minimum bets and never think about doubling of it, if you are doing so, then you'll lose money quickly.
Imagine, with 1000 satoshies, you can place minimum bet 1000 times on dice, it's a lot if you have dice cravings, so cheap, yeah? But when you start betting of 0.0001, 0.0002, 0.0004 and so on, then you are doing very wrong.
