I agree that gambling should not be viewed as a way to make money. But I also disagree that gambling is just for fun. Because in my opinion, most players lose on a regular basis while they gamble. And I just don’t see any grounds for fun here. So the only way to have fun and enjoyment is to win at gambling. And this is extremely difficult to do, it’s just a matter of chance. It turns out that when people say that gambling is fun for them, they are simply ready to lose money in the hope that chance will happen to them, that luck will smile on them.
When most players loss their money in gambling, they actually have a chance to controls their losses. But they don't do that because they want to recovers their money back and wins the games. That is what inside their minds even me so that is why we must control ourselves when we decide to playing gambling. When you can control yourselves better, you will not use gambling to makes money but only playing gambling occasionally so that is why you will just playing gambling for fun. So we don't have to use gambling as an escape from what we do because we can forget our main activities and just playing gambling without thinks about limits.That's why gambling is not for everybody. To be "successful", and hat means not losing everything you have, you must have a strong mind, and I mean a very strong one! Almost everybody is destined to fail because they are missing this key ingredient. Without a strong mind that tells you to stop before it's too late it mostly goes the same way for everybody. There are often 2 scenarios, you win a bit, then lose it back and start chasing your wins even though there weren't yours to begin with. Or just start with losses and chase those until it's also all gone. Either way, the house always wins, the saying is more than true.
All this happens because most people see gambling as a form of money making thing, while it's supposed to be entertainment, some sort of escape as the thread name suggests. Many people take it too far though and we can see this in many people's posts in our forum as well.
