That's kinda true, but alot people do bet not , for the fun but for the profit they might endup with if they hit the jackpot. Though gambling is fun and all that , and it is way more exciting whenever yah doing it with friends. But honestly speaking I don't actually take gambling as something that exciting. I have other stuff that I may find exciting, like having quality time with my love ones.
Agree with what you say, most every average gambler is looking for income or profit there. Every time there is a moment together with friends, of course the atmosphere will be different, this is probably what makes them much more enthusiastic about playing. But we must remember that we only control the game ourselves. Friends cannot influence this.
As you and I have in common, we don't like useless things like gambling, gambling doesn't make me enthusiastic or passionate about playing there, I know the impact it can have on our finances. I appreciate the money I will get so far for things that are much more beneficial or useful, such as opening a business or investing in crypto, which makes me enthusiastic about looking at a bright future.
