I like to play slot machines.
No, never.
Yes, but only one day a month or less.
Yes, about once a week.
Yes, several times a week.
Yes, just about every day.
I like to play slot machines.
Sometimes I play slot machines to check the slot return percentage (RTP)
I don't gamble as it is illegal here in my country. However, I enjoy sports betting a lot (especially for horse races).
I used to gamble professionally (by that I mean it was my main source of income and I did not enjoy doing it, it was purely for the money, I rarely watched the games or races which I had bet on) and during that time would bet pretty much every day.
I stopped being able to make money from it, I think a mixture of I lost my edge and the areas I was expoiting other people started to also exploit and there was not enough money to go around. I was breaking even at best, and so I stopped.
I still gamble now for fun, just chump change on games I am watching to give me an edge and also at any new bookmaker I am playing at in order to test them out and write a review.

For me betting professional looks like :
- other pple to bet for you and you to pay them the wages.
- if you are too deep in the "****", then you stop loving any kind of sports, because you see onlye : lost, win, void bets and marketing , which you are not allowed to bet as n -number of your account have been blocked.
- risk and pressure are just to much, when you make it main source of income.
- the point of betting is t have fun. When fun stops, it is not definitely for you......

I agree with all of that. EXCEPT, "the point of betting is to have fun", which I do not think it has to be. You can gamble to make money, OR you can gamble to enjoy yourself. I do not think it is possible to do both at the same time.
When I was ever giving people advice who wanted to do similar to me I did used to tell them that "if they were enjoying themselves, they were doing it wrong". When you gamble professionally there should be no excitment when a bet wins and no remorse when it loses. It is just numbers, and sometimes you will win and sometimes you will lose but if you have the skill to identify value and follow a sensible staking plan, then in the long run, you will slowly grow your bank roll.
I do agree 100% that for a "punter" or recreational gambler, when the fun stops, and they gamble more than they can afford to lose or even just more than they actually care about, then it is time to STOP.

Thanks for the remarks , Andy.
When you mentioned "value" , this is the big difference between gamblers and punters.
Smart punters, can find value in 10 bets for a month or week , just a gambler can shrink off the balance for a day in 10 000 bets.
Value and devil are in the small details

i agree when you said betting is about to have fun. And it s depend on your purpose. If your goal is to have some good time : enjoy!
I do "gamble" for a living and i disagree that is too much risk and pressure. I think if you do it for a living ,you have to manage the risk with a good managment ,and when you do it,the emotion and the pressure will disapear.You need first to have a winning strategy obviously befor that .
I don't gamble. I just test website, to understand, how it works))
I like gambling and I do it myself. Gambling such as pachinko, pachislot, horse racing, and boat racing is popular in Japan. I like pachinko and go about 2 times a week. Of course, you will play mainly slots at the online casino where you created an account. I can't win much.
Hi! I also prefer to play live casinos... but do it rarely. Though I work in gambling niche. I know that I am a gambler kind and it can be difficult to stop. So I try do not play online.
I do a lot of gambling.
Slots, table games, mahjong, poker, etc.
Baccarat and poker at Land Casino are the most exciting.
I like gambling so I started gambling affiliate.
I am good at it, so I think I can demonstrate my strength.
I play betting every day, mostly football and basketball, but everything is within normal limits, enjoying matches and beer.
I like betting and I place quite a few bets very week. But i only play with 2eur max bets. i just stick with it and i can easy play the whole month with 60 to 100€.
Never, but actually when checking new slots, they do seem looking too way attracting )))
Hello,
I do not gamble on casino,
only a small bet every Sunday on Sport matches.
I don't do much gambling. However, my hobby is watching sports, and I run a gambling site about sports books, so I sometimes try to play for the content myself.
I don't like gambling, but I only use sports books to enjoy watching sports more.
I'm also betting to test the brands
My grandfather built systems to test the RTP of slot machines (to determine wether a slot machine works as intended).
He always told me that playing casino is for people who want to earn quick money. - However that the house will always win in the long run.
Therefore, just like him, I joined the house.
