Yes of course, gambling to earn a profit seems like the most logical reason to gamble right. Or perhaps we should just call it "losing" instead of gambling when you're going to the casino with a small amount with the full expectation of losing said amount in the end. Kind of funny. Maybe instead of just "losing" we call it "losing but sometimes winning" lmfao. I'm sorry i'm chalk full of the dad jokes today its just obscene. Anyways, I think the best part about going to the casino is the atmosphere & when you go with a fun group that is what makes it a good time.

I doubt that losing can be fun, but if you initially set for yourself the amount that you are ready to lose in the casino, then it should not be too upsetting. It can be perceived as a trip to a restaurant, when you know that you are ready to spend money on a good evening and will consider it an acceptable expense. So everything will depend on your perception and the framework of reason, when you spend no more than you initially decided.

Yes perception is everything here, when you put it that way as if you're going on a nice outing with your m8s then you can expect to spend a little cash to have a good time. The argument can easily be made for restaurants too. It really all comes down to budget too though right. You set aside money for everythign else and you even set aside money for gambling, I think thats pretty safe to assume for your average person/gambler haha. At that point its all about discipline, will you actually stick to the aount you alloted for gambling or will you continue to dip into your bank for more fun/gambling?
