8 reasons why we gamble

Gambling is defined by the Dictionary as the following:
* To play games of chance for money or some other stake, or
* To take a risk in order to gain some advantage.
People have been arguing for years whether the desire to gamble is good or bad. It is the view of many people that gambling is bad, this is especially true with the more religious people. Others will tell you that gambling is good and that without taking risk which is a form of gambling we would not have much of what we have today without people gambling and risking what they had to get more.

>From the 2000 people surveyed we received over 400 different answers as to why they were gambling, but the top 8 reasons were:

Wedding:
Apparently having a wedding at some of the larger casinos is Las Vegas or Atlantic City is becoming popular, apparently the casinos will give you an excellent price on the wedding hall and rooms for your guests, of course they do this with the knowledge that the guests will spend money in the casino so giving a good rate n the wedding is in there best interest.

To have fun:
These people had the right idea. They only wanted to have some fun take a little trip to the Casino, have some free drinks, play some games and if they win, good and if not that’s ok also. These people came down with a certain amount they could lose and not be upset or broke and they stick to it. These people all seemed to be reaching there goal not one of them was complaining about how close they came to hitting big or what if they had just done this or that.

This is how they make a living:
I found that these people and the ones who had money problems were extremely different. These people at least knew how to gamble, most of them had many years experience and some were regular tournament players with at least 1 win under there belts.

For a bachelor party:
>From how high on the list these was it would seem that a trip to the casinos on the grooms last nights of bachelorhood are becoming more and more popular.

Business Meeting:
Many companies hold meetings and conventions in the casinos, because they give good group discounts, and the companies like it because their employees and do business during the day and relax and have some fun in their spare time.

Money problems:
It seems there are many people who believe they can fix there money problems with gambling. Most of the people who claimed that money problems were the reason for them gambling lost more money gambling then they originally owed and had they not gambled would not have been so bad off according to them. Of this group none said they had managed to win the money they needed. I was surprised to see how many people out of the 2000 questioned gave this as their response.

To make a game more exciting:
Remember not all gambling is done in casinos. Sportbooks are becoming very popular and some people find putting some money on their favorites team make the game more exciting.

Family Vacation:
Las Vegas in the last 10 years has become a popular place to bring the family. Las Vegas has many attractions for family fun. And in the evening after the kids go to sleep there is also plenty of adult entertainment.
