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.
Yes, the game can be watched without wagering any money, but it won't be fun. Gaming is best done with little amount of money, for fun purposes. It's absolutely wrong to view gambling as a place to make profits. It's a type of thoughts that actually derails the aim of gambling in the player's way of thinking. Concluding that gambling yields funds contributes in pushing a player to chase after losses. The human brain I guess works in different ways. Not all gambler would be capable of retaining their control when the funds doesn't show up as expected.
This also affects the gambler's emotions. He'll most likely get happy when winning and sad when losing. Which is not a nice attribute of a good gambler. Staying in control of our emotions how we feel and think while gambling helps a player not to get over reactive towards his losses. Or it reduces the amount of money a player could lose in a session. Sure, making money is part of it, but, why hope on something that's not certain. When I look at gambling I'd think of other certainties gambling could offer, like fun, and relaxation. These two are certain and we'd actually get it the moment we start looking to gain such thing.
