Some people engage in gambling not just for making money but also for the thrill of taking chances and social interactions. As gambling it’s not just limited to staking bets as we call it. Some gamble by playing poker, whot and Luda etc because it provides opportunity for socializing and competitions.
Whenever I visit an online casino website and want to gamble despite knowing what is involved, i still experience that the emotions that makes us human. I think this emotion increases based on the type of game or type of money that is staked.
While others are motivated to gamble for just the financial gain
Those who are gamble full time gets it. While it is not advisable it is working for some others.
