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.

People say they gamble for fun, but they keep losing money. So where’s the fun in that? Truth is, it’s not really about winning  it’s about the feeling while playing the adrenaline, the hope, the suspense. Free games don’t give you that, because there’s no real risk.

It’s not always stupidity sometimes it’s just an escape from reality. The real problem starts when that “fun” gets too expensive.

Where is the pain in losing $2 every week on gambling while you earning $200 every week? Those who are pretending are obviously still risking too much, if I tell you that I am having a great time in gambling you should believe me and I expect you to ask me how much I am losing before you judge me.

You said it's about the feeling right? Who told you that free games don't give such feeling? Why do millions of people keep playing PUBG which is a free game? Why do millions of people keep playing MineCraft and Call of Duty franchise? It's because of that same thing you called adrenaline and suspense.

If you want to choose what brings you fun, the choice is yours, you can either go the free route or the money route, just because people lose money when gambling doesn't mean they are not having fun, if the money is something they can afford to lose then it's a go.
