Many of us here will say that we are gambling for entertainment but this is the same reason why compulsive gamblers put in more money they want to feel high, so if you say I gamble for fun does this mean you admit you are buying entertainment to produce adrenalin and endorphins, so you keep on putting more money to get that feeling regardless if you win or lose.
Actually, people who gamble purely for entertainment is also a problem that most people overlook. Whenever we hear about gambling, we always associate it with the potential profit it may reward a person. Though the risk may be high, but people always look and dream about the amounts of money they would win if they gamble.
What most people fail to realize are the type of gamblers who gamble purely out of entertainment value. These kinds of gamblers have nothing to lose- regardless if they win or lose, what matters to them is to feel the hype and adrenaline due to the feeling of the odds against them.
