Gambling is for fun but the same time is another means of making money because people play for both money and for fun because if it is for fun then you should not be making use of the money you won, this shows that all we want from gambling is not more than the money.
That's it.
All of us are not just gambling to have fun but we're also aiming to have some money. Others can't deny this because many always say that they should only gamble for fun.
It's okay if that's the real deal but many of us aims to have at least more money when we gamble because there is a chance.
You are right, as even your intension is to enjoy but it's a different enjoyment when you win something decent then you managed to quit, just like what you mentioned all of us wanted to win even how small it is, still consider as earnings.
That excitement whenever you see that your balance increases and you feel that you dominated the game, there's fullfilment inside you that really satisfied your game.
That kind of excitement is only temporary if you are not smart enough to call it a day and withdraw your earnings as a minimum and keep playing again with your initial balance. This will greatly improve stress handling as when you have got your target win and now you are playing with the initial bankroll before the win you really don't care much as what is going to happen with that money, in fact when I have been in such case I have greatly increased my bet and never looked back, I have gone from 0.20 to 1 or 1.5 dollars per bet. The only regret I have is the one that I never have hit something big with a bet of more than 0.20 dollars and that is something I need to change, I have quit playing slots from many months now but who knows some inside voice is telling me to try again.
