If gambling is considered as a source of joy, then there will be no more importance on money. On the other hand, the interest in gambling will not be created without money. However, a gamble may desire to get money, but it should be within the limit. Most of the gamblers are seen that they become greedy for money. As a result, they think of making money is the main purpose. But despite knowing the reality, people cannot ignore it. Such money should not be placed in gambling that will lead to financial disaster if lost. Every bet has a chance of losing so there should be no expectation of getting a fixed amount.
Gambling as pure joy, without economic rewards, is basically a game. Those exists, where you can even play for free.
But they are not as addictive and fun as the real gambling, because the game itself really is not that amazing, the entertainment comes with the idea that you might win a lot of money.
If you remove the money part, then it quickly loses its appeal.
But yeah, absolutely you should not think that you can make a fixed amount of money gambling, that is just not how it works, I agree.
