From my opinion, I think there isn’t any need to stake or risk one’s money on a game simply because you want to catch fun when you could simply not risk your money and still have fun while watching same game.
I don’t know if I’m really staying my points well but I wish to know if people really have to gamble without intentions of making money?
Anybody saying gambling is for fun and not for making profit must be keeding. Just as you said if gambling where to be fun nobody would risk his money on betting why they can equally watch thesame game without the intention of making money. I believe that gambling is for making money. though there might be fun, but the fun in it does not justify that profit is not the primary motive. Whenever you think of gambling, you think of wealth and how to quickly achieve it withing the shortest period of time. For me gambling is for making money and not for fun.
It depends on everyone's perception because in this case when we talk about gambling, everyone has their own views and what you said is right but on the other hand, other people's opinions about gambling just for fun are also not wrong because not a few people consider that this is just a form of refreshing after being faced with work that drains energy and mind, gambling is a solution to relax themselves and it is only used as entertainment.
It seems quite naive but that's what is felt in this case so that regardless of losing and winning they don't really care because they realize that losing in a game is a sure thing so that sooner or later it will definitely happen so when they already realize that, they treat gambling like a normal thing because they realize that losing is a very high probability of happening. Even though winning is a very good thing and is expected to happen, on the other hand, their expectations prohibit them from looking too high at gambling, especially what is sought is victory because it is an ambition that is sometimes difficult to happen.
