Maybe it's asked before, still, it will help us a lot.
Why do you gamble?
Why do you do not invest that money instead?
Why you do not donate them?
Because you are bored?
Because you are looking for entertainment?
Because you are going after the big score?
Why?
People gamble because, gambling gives off thrill and entertainment. Gambling is like investing and trading, you do know what is at stake but, you have no knowledge on what might be the result of it. The difference is, gambling is more thrilling and exciting, faster to win or lose unlike investments. Much greater risk because, you couldn't analyze any charts to come up with something of your choice, it is pure probability and luck. If I would be gambling, the reason would be for a bigger profit. Big risk, big earnings.
