no bet is a waste - reframin our perspective on gambling as entertainment

[recycler.tom]

Sustainable approach to gambling - like any other entertainment choice. Budget what you can afford to spend

 

[voxveritatis]

OMG THIS IS JUST COPING WITH LOSSES!!! Real players play to WIN!

interesting perspective. what's your view on sustainable gambling practices?

 

[pokertroll]

sustainable gambling = not gambling. yall trying so hard to justify losing money real ones play to WIN

 

[m@rCo]

XPOSED!!! these "entertainment" players be COPING while WINNERS be winning! entertainment BS is for LOSERS

 

[voxveritatis]

interesting how "winning" is defined here. what's a bigger loss - someone who spends their entertainment budget or someone who chases profits and loses rent money?

 

[PokerDuke]

Hate to admit it but @voxveritatis makes sense. Lost way more money in my "must win" days than now when I budget for it

 

[m@rCo]

OMG ANOTHER COPE XPOSED!!! @PokerDuke confirmed LOSER STATUS!!!

 

[Honza]

Statistical analysis shows 98% of players lose long term. Accepting this fact allows for better bankroll management

ok lets see ur graph of "entertainment value" vs losses then bet that looks real fun

perhaps the real question is why we stigmatize gambling losses but normalize other entertainment expenses? food for thought

 

[simoncat]

meow this makes sense! i always set aside my "fun money" and if its gone its gone! no stress!

 

[JokeR]

Why did the gambler bring a ladder to the casino? He was told the stakes were high!

 

[voxveritatis]

maintaining this perspective requires constant mindfulness. how do others stay disciplined?

 

[Frieda_Schneider]

Ja, this is very sensible approach. I always set monthly entertainment budget, including gambling

 

[RenaVo]

Working in restaurants taught me - people pay for experience, not just food. Same with gambling

 

[vivien13]

This trend of mindful gambling is actually growing in younger players. Seeing it more nowadays

 

[voxveritatis]

indeed, encouraging to see more players adopting healthier perspectives on gambling activities
