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.
Losing ain't fun. However, most people who just place their bets randomly relying heavily on luck may have always been under the impression that they are actually enjoying while in the process, because they are excited on the things they believe will work to increase their chances of winning. It's not really stupidity, but a self-deception.
The only type of gambling which I think the bettors are genuinely enjoying even if they lose, are those who are a fan of sports betting. Because sports itself is entertaining and of course the element of enjoyment are always there and the bets adds to the excitement.
Watching the dice roll or the slots or the roulette roll ain't fun as watching the sport you love.
