Then why gamble if that is how you feel about it? It's meant for entertainment and to boost the thrill of the games in sports betting. In casino and slot games, it is for the emotional swing of excitement and the joy of winning. If we are not receiving those emotional fluctuations because we have so much money, then maybe it's not for us.

There are different hobbies out there, and we want some risk, then maybe we can take hobbies that also have a thrill to them. Sky diving, shooting range, or other activities that are more exciting than just gambling the money away.

Many gamblers who feel that they are losing interest in gambling or, conversely, developing an increasing attraction to gambling due to the onset of addiction do just that. They replace gambling with other forms of entertainment that also involve risks, though not financial ones. However, this approach is far from suitable for everyone, as activities that produce equally powerful adrenaline and dopamine rushes are not an option for most people—they require a certain level of physical fitness. Most lack such preparation, so the risks in some extreme sports can be even higher than the financial risks associated with gambling.
