Do you think its possible to become addicted to gambling when you haven't win a dime or after you win?

I think addiction starts after you win, even if it's just once, that's when you start gambling recklessly and you also start betting higher.

I think it can work both ways, you can become an addict with or without winning. When you're winning many people don't think someone can get addicted but it can happened because you get used to gambling that you play always and become very addicted then can't stop.

When you don't win you can get obsessed with winning that you keep gambling and sometimes you gamble just to revenge your previous losses and that's how most gambling addicted starts. You might borrow money to gamble because you don't want to lose but keep losing.

For different gamblers there are different reasons why they get addicted but all starts because of lack of discipline. As a gambler you have to discipline yourself so you don't over gamble or chase after losses because if you don't do this, a time will come that you'll get tempted.

Typically, gambler only think and come to realization after or before they gamble and not during gambling. Only few players can think straight withoiut being affected by risk pressure during gambling.  Cheesy

You are right, mate. It's even kind of a waste of time to advise a gambler  Grin, because while they will still end up doing whatever they please, perhaps they would say, "It's not your money they are spending," and it's not your business to tell them what they will do. I have talked to a friend before about his gambling habits, and those kinds of responses were what I got. You feel you are doing some good thing by asking them to control their reckless gambling, and they ask you, "If really the money they are gambling off is yours." So sometimes the advice is not even necessary. I would just say, Let the gambler test the game and let themselves decide if they are really gambling with self-control or not.
Most of the time these gamblers understand on their experience. Just on sharing our experience they never care about the gambling activity. Once after huge loss they used to remember what we had said earlier. When they realise it is far away and the loss could've been very big. With gambling we shouldn't have the never giveup mentality. Gambling should be considered fun and advice received should be considered and whether we follow or not is secondary.

Well, the thing is, gambling does have its up and downs for everyone, there is always the negative side of gambling for every gambler, but like you have said, first, the outcome of a gamble or bet is not in the hands of the gambler to decide, this is absolutely certain and i believe all can agree with me, but then, how we allow the outcome of the game affect us or our emotions, very much depends on the gambler, it is like the common saying that "happiness is a choice", which means that, in every circumstances of life, be it a good or bad result, being happy regardless is our personal decision.

One way to overcome the aftermath effect of losing in gambling is to always remember, even before we start gambling, that gambling is nothing but for fun, if you win some money in the process, that is entirely your luck, if possible, never expect to win anything from gambling, so that if in the process you dont win, you wont feel too bad about it, but if you win in the process, it can make you more happier, as that could feel like money picked on the way side.
You may argue that gambling is only for enjoyment, but let's be honest about this. Most gamblers lose money, and many of them have substantial addiction issues. Its more than just a game; its a seductively perilous world where losses may swiftly get out of hand. You're headed down a steep slope the instant you begin using the phrase "its all for fun" to excuse your losses. And the idea that one may choose to be happy? Although it has advantages in other situations, in the gaming industry its only a front for harm that cant be undone. You should take a step back and reassess if your emotional health is being negatively impacted by gaming.

If you are onto gambling for the first time it's not possible to get addicted to gambling because you haven't tasted what winning feels like, you will be consumed by doubts and uncertainty.

But wait till you have a taste, win some money, that's where you start feeling like there is more if you keep digging, is this not where gambling addiction starts?

We have had a lot of conversations about gambling addiction, but I had the same conversation with someone close yesterday and this was my answer to him.

Do you think its possible to become addicted to gambling when you haven't win a dime or after you win?

I think addiction starts after you win, even if it's just once, that's when you start gambling recklessly and you also start betting higher.


I do think that addiction manifests to people differently due to the reason on why they are getting addicted in the first place.

Some people may feel addicted due to the adrenaline of betting huge amounts of money per round; while others get addicted due to the fact that they are clinging to that hope of winning a jackpot whenever they gamble. At the end of the day, they gamble because they truly want to experience something that is otherworldly- something that can only be found while gambling.

Personally, I find the adrenaline to be the main reason on why most get addicted. That surge of emotions that you feel whenever you are holding on to that hope of winning, only to discover that you won/loss. I guess that feeling of slight ecstasy is what makes gambling addictive.

If we gamble and have the luck to make a win, we should count it a privilege and also a challenge to work more harder the next time, that might be the last opportunity of it's kind we may have then, we don't need to be reckless in gambling, we have to create a modest pattern to how we gamble to position us to the best way we can appear being a gambler, what works for others may not really work for us the same way.

@Aanuoluwatofunmi, you gave a perfect advice, but the truth is that people read or hear advice but easily forget what they have read because they get either greedy, carried away by the fun, chase losses, or just lack proper financial management. Every gambler knows that it's luck they are gambling with because there is no certainty in gambling; it's either win or loss. So, whether a gambler wins or not, he or she must just let go of their losses and accept their results instead of becoming compulsive gamblers. Just as you noted, gamblers must know that if another person is lucky, it doesn't guarantee them luck either.

The truth is, Remembering an advice or something especially if this coming from a person that doesn’t gamble at all and just using a logical advice without considering how the mind of person works during the influence of gambling is really useless. Even a financial advice is bery hard to follow due to its risk and greediness on profit involved so what's more for gambling that is full of risk and just based on luck.

Typically, gambler only think and come to realization after or before they gamble and not during gambling. Only few players can think straight withoiut being affected by risk pressure during gambling.  Cheesy

Based on my experience, gambling addiction may develop and grow in anticipation of future profits. It does not matter whether you have tasted some wins or not, but the fact that beginner gamblers are hunger with money and profits, then addiction will easily come to develop. However, in some gamblers, they only develop gambling addiction once they have experienced potential profits. Because they feel that if they continue gambling, there will be more profits waiting for them. That’s when reality sucks when all they gained are losses.
big wins are a trigger for those who are addicted to gambling to always play by continuing to imagine the big wins they got before.

I always talk to my friends when you want to play gambling, if you don't have enough skills, at least you are rich. Because if you don't have enough money to play gambling and you are addicted, then there will be something worse than gambling addiction, namely using all means to get money so you can play gambling.
Have you never thought that those who have enough money and are rich can become poor because of gambling, while your personal needs are not fully met and you choose to play gambling, do you want your life to be even more miserable?

Gambling addiction doesn't know whether you have won big or not, whether you have risked large or small amounts of money, but gambling addiction starts when someone enters the casino and starts playing and betting.
Right from the start this will generate more curiosity and can be really addicting in every game even if it results in defeat.

You are right. exactly the same thing I thought. Some people think addiction starts after a gambler has won big; although that's how it works with some people, it's not the same for everyone.

Human beings don't all operate the same way; just like they say, "One man's desire is like poison to another man," every gambler has their own way of being influenced before they can start gambling compulsively. Some people, when they hit the casino on the first day, after they see that their friends have won and they realise that they never win any, they will begin to gamble with all their agility just to make sure they win like their friends. In the process of gambling over and over again, they develop a bad habit that makes it very difficult for them to stop.

We can have the desire to win at gambling but we have to realize that it won't always happen. Maybe the few times we play gambling, we often experience defeat so we have to think that we should stop first to let go of the emotions resulting from that defeat. But usually everything will change after we get a win when we start playing, which will trigger us to continue playing gambling even though the decision to continue gambling can be the start of our losses in the next round. And we shouldn't be trapped by greed because we want more wins. And we have to overcome the greed that comes to us after we manage to win the first time we gamble.
Being greedy can really ruin us and make us bankrupt with nothing left because we will become reckless and decisive and we will lost even more so I think we need to be disciplined enough and also we need to make our minds powerful than our emotions so we will not go wrong in our decision, if we might be wrong still we will have the plan B that can be very helpful to us.

The comments point to one thing gambling just like every other activity should be done in moderation. Recklessness is a result of overdoing it. And to avoid this, make only small bets. That adrenaline rush comes from huge bets that is above $100. If you have noticed that you lose tract of time when gambling, you are already being reckless and overdoing it. Look for substitute fun activities that do not require money or any other thing to be wagered.
It's not easy to avoid being careless and what do you suggest to make small bets so you don't spend too much money and it's also not an effective way because someone gambles with the goal of winning whereas the more we use the money at stake, the greater the profit can be obtained when you win and it's easy if you just talk but it's hard to implement it.
As long as you know that every gambler has their own abilities and each gambler's abilities cannot be equalized so that they understand and do what you suggest.

I do not think so. Addiction only starts when you stake big amounts and when you win from it due to the adrenaline rush.

I agree with the sentence in bold, the fact is that I personally often experience this because I have a lot of free time and I can't control the risks. That's why I'm looking for alternatives so I don't have to spend more time gambling. For example, looking for a game on Playstore that really keeps me busy and most importantly avoids gambling. So far it can be said to be effective but only temporarily, because the games being played are getting boring so you have to find new games to keep playing. Gamblers who have no other activities are always prone to continue to focus on gambling, many of the same stories are obtained from closest friends and they also have the same free time always pushing them into the casino.

I think addiction starts after you win, even if it's just once, that's when you start gambling recklessly and you also start betting higher.

You can't get addicted to something you haven't tried yet. When playing for the first time, you can't know what awaits you ahead: that same feeling of euphoria and delight from the winnings, which intensifies more, the more difficult it is for you. Once having tasted it, you will want to get again and again, and each time, an increasing portion (winning amount). This is where the endless addiction to gambling begins, like a thirst that can't be quenched, no matter how much you drink (won). The higher the initial reward, the faster it progresses.

Most of the time, I'd see gamblers that once they win their first bet, they'll double their bet the next round as they are thinking that they could still win.
If you are in this situation and if you are new to gambling even if your plan is to just bet a small amount but seeing you had won straight, definitely will encourage you to bet more and spend more. At this point, it is just like we fall into the trap of gambling not knowing that the next round will be our losses.

yes, I have had this kind of experience before, I put everything I won and lost in a single bet.

That's how addiction start since getting more urge to win will keep gambler want to gamble more because they want to test out for more if they can win the same as before. They didn't notice that they over extend and losing more because the only one drives them out is their greed to gamble, also when we are in this situation its so hard to quit since we always think gambling on whatever we do.
We can have the desire to win at gambling but we have to realize that it won't always happen. Maybe the few times we play gambling, we often experience defeat so we have to think that we should stop first to let go of the emotions resulting from that defeat. But usually everything will change after we get a win when we start playing, which will trigger us to continue playing gambling even though the decision to continue gambling can be the start of our losses in the next round. And we shouldn't be trapped by greed because we want more wins. And we have to overcome the greed that comes to us after we manage to win the first time we gamble.
in this condition it is caused by greed which results in losses and regrets and after that does the same thing until it becomes addicted because of chasing and continues to chase losses because of losing big wins. this is a normal condition and almost old gamblers have experienced problems like this, even I myself have experienced when I got a win but kept betting in the hope of winning even more without realizing that I lost all my winnings.
and in this case having the mindset to know when to start to stop betting will be very important when you get a loss or win in the specified amount, you must quit immediately, avoid emotions that are getting higher and lose control to continue betting without thinking about the long term.

We have different individual approach or mindset towards gambling from my own personal perspective winning a bet doesn't set off addiction in me because I knew gambling is a game of chance and luck thus a consistent winning streaks isn't possible and never guaranteed in most cases I do withdraw my winnings after two or three wins and left with the small fund for staking another bet rather than leaving the whole funds with hope of staking high to win massively that is when addiction and greediness will set in, however when I lose the only small fund for betting I prefer to fund my account with the same amount of fund just to avoid addiction and chasing my losses.

Obviously. Only when someone has won a reward the greed kicks in and the he wants to win more.
At first it's the greed that makes a person gamble frequently and that is how it to develops to a habit and then addiction.
If a person won't win anything then he would soon lose interest in gambling and that's how gambling has been designed.
