I am beginning to think that the only time a gambler gambles for fun is only when he gambles with what he can afford to lose. In this case, a gambler has $10,000 as his savings, and he gambles with $1000 down, he or she won't feel sad when they lose it (it means they gambled for fun). But if a gambler who has the same $10,000 gambles for above $5,000, and he loses all of them, the gambler won't be happy about his actions, and it might result in chasing of losses (which means he didn't gamble for fun). It means that both those that say they aren't gambling for fun sometimes gamble for fun, mostly when they risk an amount they can afford to lose. The actual time you gamble for fun is when you risk what you can afford to lose and not when you say you want to gamble for fun. However, a gambler might say he will gamble for fun and still end up not gambling for fun when he starts gambling. One can know a responsible gambler if he starts gambling.
Gambling should be primarily for fun but few can do it. I think that the person who has $10,000 takes $1,000 out of it to gamble. Even though this person takes $10,000 to $1,000 to gamble, he certainly has some hope in his mind that he will make some money out of it, but he did not take this $1000 to lose, of course he took it in his heart to win, but even after that, if this person loses $1000 he can control himself. On the other hand, if another person has $10,000 and withdraws $5,000 from it, the winnings will be slightly higher because he has taken more. So the bottom line is that both people have the hope of winning, be it low or high, no one gambles to lose. No matter how much we say we gamble for fun, gambling for fun is actually a latent greed at work in us that we don't express.
