Kennysplash Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lens Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Button Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

You'd swore I walked past a thousand black cats before I went gambling... I'm sure it's frustrating, maybe you just need to kind of try a different game. Or you may just be due for a big win to make up for all the losses Edited July 31 by Button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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