Evening

I have long wondered why people Deposit in a casino when they know in advance that the casino will always win in the long run

Is the dream after a million dollar Jackpot or the boredom?
Is it seen more as a hobby or is it addiction?
What drives each individual?

I thank you in advance for the answers and wish you a nice evening

People smoke even though they know it is harmful. People drink alcohol even though they know it is harmful. People eat a lot of fat, a lot of sugar even though they know it is harmful.

What I want to say: The whole life consists of things that are actually harmful. Only without all these things you might as well hang yourself. Because these things are simply the "spice" of life.

And it's the same with playing

a neighbor of mine had her whole life neither smoked, drank and always ate organic. She died of cancer at 35...and what did she get out of life ? Nothing. If I draufgehe, then at nem heart attack when I grad heftigst in a cool blonde come lol

You imply that you have to indulge in one or the other vice so that you live longer?
Think with everyone also the genes play a role not to be underestimated as old one becomes ... or just not

It's best to play to win^^
Never out of boredom or to reduce frustration or the like.

You are right but also wrong. Your neighbor died much too young, although she did everything right. Possibly she would have died even earlier if she had eaten crap. Besides, it also depends on the quality of life. And a non-smoker has a much cooler feeling of life and body and can therefore live much more intensively. My 2 months non-smoking was a cool time and I would rather be a non-smoker all my life and die 2 years earlier for it (if that would be the price), because you just feel much better. I think the same is true for alcohol. If you get drunk once or twice a year that can be the spice but not anymore if it's every weekend. The same goes for gambling. If you gamble 2 times a month and can afford it well, then it can be good and fun. But if it becomes daily and you only think about gambling, then it is no longer spice, but life is then rather a torture.

Even if you could afford your addiction because you are the son of Paul Gauselmann. Even then it would be a torture to spend all the time in front of the boxes.

So with me it's just trying to earn what ...uh ...win !!!!

Have for example on New Year's Eve 600 € won with a deposit of 50 € ...that's the kick for me !
Little deposit but win big !!!

Have a very good monthly income and would not need all this! But live alone ...no children and frugal person !
So I can afford it!
Zocke not to pay bills etc. but just to have fun!

Others go out every week and leave hundreds of euros in clubs or in the clothing store .... I prefer to gamble and treat myself to an escort lady!

Most players are male, in the past we were hunters and gatherers. Nowadays you can get a hunting license, but you won't get a hunting lease unless you own a lot of land in the forest. And mushroom picking is somehow too boring for me. So I like to play for money, that just gives me the kick in my life that I would have gotten differently as a Stone Age person.
