Topic: Causes of gambling for some poeple? - page 3. (Read 2092 times)

It's all in the pleasure circuit in the midbrain.  Some people just blast dopamine during pleasurable experiences and that becomes their addiction of choice.  That's simplistic I know but addiction is grounded in biology.

Dude this is a sad story and feel bad for you man. You really
need to give her an ultimatum! You need to say look this is
affecting our children and if you can't stop we will be forced
to get out of this relationship. Maybe the fear of losing her
kids and husband will help her see the light and stop.

Good luck mate

I do only gamble dust... If I lose it, I don't care. 

Unless your prayers have been working magic lately, doing just that will pretty much do nothing. You'll need to go to some real addiction counseling nearby (as Dogedigital mentioned) and get some professional help. His explanation sums up why breaking out of gambling is so darn difficult.


No way. Winning in a game that has no real reward is no match for the euphoria given by winning monetary rewards. That'll be like trying to topple a brick wall with a feather. Like I said, you need to get some professional help. No offense, but they're trained to be able to give help and they'll probably do a better job than you. It's their career.

Best of luck.

I can't do that because we have a children i think thats not a good way..
Maybe it can realize it someday. but for now i need to pray for her and trying to remove her addiction in binggo..
I just try to teach her to play some binggo online that has no real money involve... I think this is a good way that i can do...

To overcome compulsive gambling is not an easy task.

However, if you're willing to really take a step forward... Get informed on what addiction and what the roots of compulsive gambling are. Try to understand it, rid yourself of any judgements and ultimately be there for her in more than just a physical and emotional place, then I believe you have a real shot of breaking through to her.

There should be addiction counseling available nearby in your area.  Your best first step might be to seek out these services with an open mind and really listen to what they say when you explain your situation.

As to answer your topic question, people gamble for numerous reasons.  Some of the most troubled gamblers have underlying negative feelings, thoughts, and emotions that they may or may not be aware of buried deep inside them.  The body and mind have incredible defense mechanisms that try to protect us from ourselves and unfortunately the feeling of winning drastically affects the serotonin and dopamine in the brain which may be unbalanced due to these feelings/thoughts/emotions.  Sometimes our body craves this shift so much in an order to feel more balanced that it goes unfiltered by our thoughts and morality compass and that's when the addiction truly kicks in.  

Gambling is very misunderstood.  There is a ton of misinformation and you will hear many uninformed opinions on the subject.  

It can be a great source of entertainment and fun, but can also be a source of ruin and despair.  It's not as simple as just choosing to gamble.  It's a very complicated issue and you won't be able to fix it overnight.  It will take a ton of time, devotion, and support.  It definitely WON'T be easy.  

I wish you all the very best.

You get easy money in gambling and also looses your money in it. There are two chances. Now, IMO people gamble because of two things, 1st, they do it for fun and 2nd, they do it for greed. The first one can be control while the other one is impossible to because it is in the mindset of most people who risks in gambling. Just like what happened in your wife. She wouldn't think of how many looses she got already and is still trying to get it all back in hoping for a chance of winning it back. I'm sorry to hear that it has to go all the way to that.

My advice is to leave your wife before you're going to be in a lots of quarrels and fights. She is a proper sane person, she would have stopped when the financial situation is already being broked..

For now she's stop because we have no money to buy a food an pay a bills for our apartment..
But sometimes , i command her to withdraw a money with my bitcoins received from campaign manager.
She do this two times that she use my bitcoin's to play binggo again. But sadly she lost it all..
In that time i just want to snap her face (I get so upset) But i can't do it.. she dont think me his wife and our children will gonna die because we are
hungry in that time that why i command her to withdraw my bitcoins. I did not expected that it will happen...

When you need a win really hard you always lose. You can only stop this when you find something different from gambling to do in your spare time.

If she is really addicted I guess professional therapy is the only thing to help her.

Also, taking away any stimuli that could get her going again may help, such as friends and family that keep inviting her.

Yeah i agree with you but she's addicted in binggo and even a i explain it much. it will not work..
maybe someday she can realize what her doing before.. and someday she realize that the money is important in our life..

She needs to go to an expert who can help her. I think she can get over it but she needs to be in some kind of detox house where she talks everyday to experts.

I hope she will get over her gambling addiction and will recover her losses soon.

well im a bit addicted to gambling in my opinion and there is a great variety of causes why first of all i really like the games that i can play also i like the feeling when there is a possibility to win a lot of money

tell her to learn poker.
but not just to know rules she needs to know aloot of that its not just a game there is alot of books,sites that can help you with that.
if she learns it she can earn money easy

the cause of gambling is the desire of winnig and the real cause of gambling addiction is winning at first because when you win at first you get hooked i gambling if you lose you will probably wonna quite from the first

I started off steering clear from gambling, until my friend gave me a few hundred to Gamble. I gambled, made profit, then walked off and have my friend back good money. But then I got really greedy and started gambling. That's when I started losing alot. Then I saw bitcoin, and saw that any losses I made, would be covered by the price rises of bitcoin :3

Very sorry to hear that ! She is in a condition where she doesn't want to give up in a hope she will get everything back together.Tell the sooner she quits the  better .Because the more she tries the more she'll digging the holes for losses.The causes of gambling for some people could be Poverty,addiction,lust,survival.The most common in all of them is addiction.Its not that gambling makes you all broke but your addiction to it does.

What do I think are the causes of gambling? I think there are many but the main one  is addiction and that comes from what I believe to be a disease which will need help from many people who know what the problem is because the chances of doing it alone are very very small, equivalent to winning the jackpot repeatedly or something.

Hopefully your wife and family manage to get help although saying that it sounds like it is to late! What it is not to late for though is saving lives. Depression after losing everything can do some nasty things. However hard get your wife to get to gambling anonymous/ http://www.gamblersanonymous.org
