Why do people gamble

What are the reasons and why

Relieves boredom or to have fun or some people just like a challenge.

Then you have the people who gamble to try and win back what they lost.

The thrill of winning, or losing, money is fun! If you gamble sensibly it can be treated like any other sort of activity.

For example someone would happily pay say £50 to watch a football game for 90 mins of entertainment. Someone could also take that £50 to a casino and gamble with it because they find it fun, if they lose it all they've spent £50 for a night of entertainment, if they win some then that's great they've actually made some money through having fun!

Gambling becomes a problem when people don't set a limit on how much they're willing to lose, or try to chase their losses. You should never go into gambling expecting to win money, the odds are always against you in casinos or on bookmakers.

I find poker enjoyable not for the money just the game itself

You really think it's fun losing £40 a day

That's true what if you do it every single day and lose like £60 a day for a year that's over £20k that's alotttttttt of money seriously online gambling a the worst you can gamble anytime anywhere you just need Internet connection you can do it 24/7

They are insane. They just don't know the value of money, and use it to play. That's it.

It's the buzz of winning. I never said it was fun to lose money?

Well that's when it becomes a problem if you can't afford those sorts of losses and become addicted to trying to win them back.

Most of the times you lose more than you win

And, what's your point? Does that mean people can't have fun playing with what they can afford to lose?
