No gambler treated gambling as entertainment all the time he is playing, there will always be a time of changing or shifting your mindset, we are tempted to be like that, we are just humans and tempted to be greedy especially when money is involved.
It's mean your self control skill is bad and you need to think what's the reason your mindset is changed. I was a gambler who gamble for money, but mostly I didn't achieve my goal and I'm not happy with the result. After that I learn to change my mindset to gamble only for entertain, regardless of the outcome is, I always happy since gambling is fun. Until now my mindset is never changed and gamble is always to entertain for me.
You are right, but I still will agree with what coin-investor said , he is actually right, I myself I gamble mostly for entertainment, but if we must be honest with each other, we all will have to agree that any gambler who claims to gamble for entertainment all the time is liar and living in self denia.
In as much as gambling is solely a recreational way of having fun or one entertaining him or her self, as long as it is possible to win money in the process of entertaining oneself, there will always be times when the gambler will be tempted to focus on making some money rather than pay attention to the entertainment part, this is just normal with every human, there is no need saying otherwise.
Making money will always stay at the back of our mind, when gambling. Playing for fun, with multiple losses in a day, doesn't sound well. The fun follows up with winning. Even comp players still expect the win, despite the free room and food offered them, which is naturally fun. Like you pointed out, the mindset can swing differently, to the winning essence of gambling, even for the fun players. Winning more money is tempting and it's considered the aim of every gambler. The playing for fun idea, always suits the local casinos; in physical houses where other gamblers are present. It can be fun there, with the drinks, giving tips to the waitress and sharing ideas amongst other players. But, for players who stake online with personal devices, the fun is money. We play from home and no fun in losing money. I've also noticed that, playing for fun helps to boost our confidence, in gambling. It's true, it can facilitate the playing method of any gambler. Yet, if it doesn't work out, the player can't help it, but stop playing at the moment, because the true happiness and fun is not coming; money. Most times the game is shifted to some other time, when we think may be better with some luck on our side.
