Kennysplash Posted July 27, 2024 Posted July 27, 2024 When I play in game hubs and centers, I see people placing bets on the outcome. They can bet on themselves or choose one of the players to bet on to win. These ones try to make a business out of gaming. I feel this will put unnecessary pressure on the players, and this will kill the fun of gaming. Do you place bets on gaming outcome?
killamch89 Posted July 28, 2024 Posted July 28, 2024 Nope. And that has to do with my horrible luck when betting. I can only name one or two instances where I've actually won lots of money while gambling.
Lens Posted July 28, 2024 Posted July 28, 2024 I understand that betting on game outcomes can add an extra layer of excitement and competition, but it should be done responsibly. I do it occasionally too.

Even when others have been winning, when it gets to me the opposite would be the case. So I don’t see the need to stress it.
Button Posted July 29, 2024 Posted July 29, 2024 No, I don't really gamble on game outcomes. What I do is that play games only for the enjoyment I get and for socialization as well.

I'm not a fan of gambling becuase I know that gambling can lead to a toxic environment and unhealthy competition as well. Gaming should be about having fun only

I've been lucky in other areas of my life but when it comes to gambling - never. You'd swore I walked past a thousand black cats before I went gambling... Kennysplash 1

Or you may just be due for a big win to make up for all the losses Edited July 31, 2024 by Button

Chronic gamblers think that one day they can win big, but they keep on losing a lot of money. It’s a vicious cycle.
Scorpion Posted September 30, 2024 Posted September 30, 2024 I don’t usually gamble on game outcomes. I prefer to play for fun without the added pressure of losing money.
