Is there even a need for a reason for making it as an "enjoyment"? It's like asking something, why do you do that, do you do this, do you want to be that kind of thing. We want it cause we want to, there's really no need to overcomplicate reasons or whatever. We enjoy gambling because we enjoy it, that's my take on to gambling I suppose.
However the successful stories of those gamblers are making more sound than those who always lose.
Yet, success are really a great story to tell. It is not easy to get into that title being lucky and win especially great prizes or great winnings. Thus making it other gamblers to to try their luck and in return they tend to lose but somehow occassionally will be able to win and that motivate them to play more to get more chance in winning huge prizes.
Thi is one of the reason in getting addiction of gambling. however, there are only few people are getting addicted because all of us had common sene that we could not give in into that situation without considering our priorities in life
Aren't they made into "stories" because they were successful? Let's be real here, who would even listen to a story of a man losing to gambling? That's like our everyday lives, no one wants to listen to that, sure if you add a bit of sob story elements some may read it, but that's it. But success? Now that's a story most would be willing to read, why? Because they want to be one, they want to be like the guy that was successful. Do remember that successful stories are just 1 in a million stories out there, but only that 1 is told because it's a unique instance, and not an instance that could regularly occur.
