Let me explain the thread title. I know a lot of us here would say we should be gambling for fun, but in reality most people don’t gamble just for fun, they do it mainly for profit. Even if they lose, they keep coming back because they hope to eventually become profitable in gambling.

But what if people stop aiming for profit and gamble only for fun, what do you think would be the impact on the gambling industry?

Will we still see it growing or will the industry shrink?

Honestly, i think the better question would be this: what would happen to the gambling industry if nobody was addicted to gambling and only gambled for fun? I think it would have to take a huge hit then for sure. A lot of people gamble to make money but they lost a lot and keep doing it, they're addicted to gambling plain and simple.
