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.
from personal experience I know several people who became very addicted to gambling just because they tried to bet for the first time in a slot game with one spin to get maxwin and after that he became curious to continue to dig for bigger wins because he felt angry when the first win came he had never felt before, instead he was used again to bet until he ran out and regretted wanting to chase it again and keep betting before getting a big win and even though he had gotten a big win he would still continue to gamble because he was bound by addiction.
on one hand there is a story from a person I know if the first time he gambled just because he saw an influencer who often won big but when he made his first bet in a slot game and lost he lost all his money but he regretted that he had lost some money the first time he gambled and chased a loss he got to get a big win because in his mind there was a sense of emotion and curiosity to get a big win without realizing it he had become addicted.
in this matter I conclude that it all depends on the mindset of each person. if a person has a mature mindset they will not get addicted even if they get their first big win or not at all.
