Many users claim that they play for fun. At the same time, they do not hide the fact that all the money is lost one way or another, quickly or slowly. If you are losing money, then how can you enjoy it? I could never understand this. I would understand if a person said that now I am losing, but during the game I am learning and developing a strategy and a game system, and also testing this system during the game. In other words, you can play for research purposes and, losing money, enjoy the anticipation of future wins, since you have a promising strategy and a good consistent game system. But people generally do not play for research purposes. People just place bets more or less randomly, lose money and claim that they enjoy it. Is this stupidity or deceit? Maybe such people like the atmosphere of the game? But then why not play free games? But no, gamblers rarely play free games?
Why? The answer is paradoxical - because you can't lose money there, lol! And after that you say that gamblers are reasonable people.
No one enjoys the loss but for some it doesn't matter, for some it's part of the activity and then there are those who don't really enjoy the gambling and gamble for potentially earning money, which doesn't go the way they want.
I'll tell you my example. I sometimes play poker and sometimes I lose money but I still enjoy the game and I'll explain why. I can play Poker for free but I face more exciting opponents when I play for money. Also, when I play with money, I have something to lose, so this changes my mentality during gambling and I'm more focused and take it more seriously. In the end, I get a reward if I play well too, so the risk is worth for me.
