He's probably lying when he says he plays for fun.
I'd believe someone with a lot of money if they said they played for the thrill of it, but fun isn't true.
Even when we play okey with friends, we get grumpy when we lose. If we're good at it, we whistle.
Even in this game, even though we don't win or lose money, I don't speak up when we lose.
And if there's a chance of winning or losing money involved, it's a different story.
Winning might be fun, exciting, and entertaining, but losing isn't fun.
Never...
You have given an acceptable answer. Because most of us, perhaps to get a flex, say things like this that even if we lose, we still get fun out of it. Actually, we are all lying here, the main thing is that we are actually thrilled not having fun.
Because I think only a mentally unstable person can enjoy losing money, but I don't think a person with brain can ever enjoy losing money.
