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.

Emotions is what can lead a gambler to addiction. If you haven't won any game as a gambler this can make one get addicted because he is following his emotion that he can win the next game and before you know it he will continue to gamble and might become addicted. Chasing your loss is the worst of it all.

On the other hand a gambler that has won before have the believe that he can do it again and if he tries without winning, he will keep on playing and might finally become addicted because he believes that he will be lucky in the next game. The bottom line to addiction is when a gbler allows his emotion to control him by chasing his loss.

I think is bigger than just first winning being the responsible factor for gambling addictions, and this has been discussed severally how gamblers end up not gambling again after winning in their first game, all this things depends on the individuals involved because at some point as a gambler you should already have tour own well planed games and have set the limit and your winning stride.
I developed a skill recently that have helped me a number of time now and that is to make sure before i start gambling i always a limit as to how far I will go if I win and what percentages of my total winning will go into further gaming.

Thou winning a game while gambling causes addiction due to our insatiable needs as huma, another reason that makes people addicted to gambling is due to lack of unemployment, whereby when people sees gambling as their only source of income & last hope for life, and as such get addicted to gambling while trying to win a game after several loses in other to make earns means.  However, I don't think someone can ever be addicted to gambling if he/she haven't had a taste of it, but moreover, that doesn't eradicate the fact that most people can't greedy even while gambling.

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.

Many people become addicted to gambling mainly because of winning bets. I believe that when a person is interested in gambling with the goal of increasing his money, and later when he wins the bet, the feeling of gambling gradually starts working inside him. And when a gambler gets the taste of winning that bet, a kind of greed arises inside him and he becomes addicted to gambling. Basically I don't gamble now but I got a taste of it when I first bet a small amount of money on a casino platform. At first, winning bets a few times gradually turns into a kind of greed and from then on gambling addiction grows. At this time, a small amount of money is bet and then when gambling is done to bet more money, it is seen that in most cases the bets are lost. So I think that gambling is not so much addictive at first but slowly when you get a taste of it by winning bets a few times, gambling becomes addictive. But in the first case, if the bet is won or lost several times, then the addiction to it will decrease and the person will not be interested in gambling. Gambling addiction definitely starts after winning a bet when it is too risky to bet with a large amount of money.

Even though I don't consider myself to be a person addicted to gambling, I have spends some afternoons rolling dices and I must agree on your theory.

The first time I tastes what compulsive gambling is was right after I had a lucky streak with the dices and managed to get a quite good percentage of my initial wager. I feel like continuing the next occasion I had time and even though I started well, I ended up losing money, it was very sudden, because I was going for the big wager low multiplier "strategy".
I felt like chasing my loss, but in the end I realized my session was over, since then I am more careful with anything which involve luck and money.

@OP, Partially, that's how it works for some people, but don't forget that every person is not the same. Addiction is when one allows themselves to be controlled by what they do instead of the opposite. So, some people can even become addicted with the anger of not winning, but because they want to make sure they have won, they keep gambling until any day they win, while some people, after gambling for some period of time and not winning, will just stop or take a break for some days, weeks, or months, depending on the individual. For some people too, what makes them addicted to gambling is that after they hear the winning story of another gambler, they become obsessed with the news and also want to make a win, so they start gambling compulsively until they win or lose everything.

Yes a big win can be misleading to a gambler making him to increase his time, energy and funds towards gamble thinking that if he could get such amount of win with no so much efforts he could make 3x of that amount doing more and it's easy to fall into gambling addiction when such mentality is created as you've to start chasing losses believing you can recover and that's a damn straight lie.

A distinct way that can also lead to reckless gambling also aside getting a direct big win is when a close fellow of yours  wins a big amount and when you got to know about the figures you develop a feeling of not doing your best that's why you haven't gotten such big win too, that's where a negative motivation evolves within you if not checked could lead you to turn to a chain-gambler.

It's also possible for the losing gambler to become addicted because there are types of gamblers that won't stop until they get back the money they've lost. But I agree that it's more likely to start when you're in a winning session because you sometimes get a bunch of easy wins and gamblers would try to test the limits of their luck by doubling down on their bets or even going all in.

I would rather run away after winning than continuing after winning  Grin I believe this is the wish of many gamblers who are in a losing spray lol. I have known gamblers speaking like this from their losses that they want to recover some portion of losses. Except a gambler is a chronic addict and the type that wants to have gambling as a source of income, otherwise it is better to exit when the ovation is loudest and that could be when you hit that big jackpot.

I rarely win, though it still got me 'hooked' before in gambling. It doesn't matter what outcome it is that you get in gambling - you will always get hooked to it if you are really inclined to gamble.

I think you alreay win at some point even rarely that’s why you are still coming back to play despite your bad experience.

What made me hooked is the idea that time passes by so fast whenever I play. It's not necessarily me winning or losing anything, but just the overall experience that I have in the casino - with dice specifically. I don't mind losing or winning, really. The money that I am using to gamble isn't something that would hurt the bank. It's just that the hours that I would do nothing, I diverted into something else that I find entertaining.

No, gambling addiction starts not only when you get a win but when you experience defeat it can also cause a high curiosity to win and keep trying to continue playing or betting until you are addicted.
There are many people out there who often lose but are even more active in gambling, so it would not be right to say that the cause of gambling addiction is only when you get or feel a win.
First entered the gambling industry, of course you would lose more often, but over time you still gamble to be able to have a win and keep trying until curiosity has enveloped your life to keep betting.
You are saying almost the same thing with Op, but it seems that you misunderstood him slightly. There is no how anyone will be addicted to gambling if they have not tested the winning in gambling.
Let us assume that Mr, Bob started gambling and from the first day of gambling till after 3 months Mr. Bob has never won any bet. Mr Bob can easily give up knowing that gambling is not his thing.
But immediately Mr. Bob starts winning and then begin have consecutive wins, he will be attracted and stocked in betting and that could easily lead to addiction.

Addiction can definitely start to kick in after a win and then consecutively, even if it's just one or repeatedly. That's why it's so important to stay aware of your behaviors and set some limits for yourself right from the beginning. Because when you're overconfident, you often bet higher than your normal stake and when you lose, you give back all your winning and worse end up with a loss.  But hey, if you ever feel like you're heading down a slippery slope, just know that you still have your family, your wife, children, parents, tose people who believes in you. It will be beneficial for you

I think this is an individual thing rather than a generalized thing, some people have the fighting spirit naturally, for this type of people, they dont possibly have to win gamble before they get addicted to gambling, them gambling for some time and losing all their games, and simply seeing or coming across some one who won big, is enough motivation for them to call their fighting spirit into action, which drives them to gamble even much more than before, hoping they would win like the other person and gain all the money they have lost back, this is where their addiction starts from as before they realize themselves, gambling has become a major part of their lives, something they can not do without.

But then, for some other person, it is true that winning some money is a major ticket to them becoming gambling addicts if they fail to control themselves or gamble responsibly.

Addiction can start at any time, and for different reasons. Someone gets addicted, when they keep gambling. A person can keep gambling after their own first win like the topic suggest, or after hearing the success of people who have gambled and so are motivated to keep trying. They keep trying to win until it becomes an addiction. Some people are gambling for money and not any kind of fun, so these people can easily get addicted to gambling even from people's story. Never winning, but always gambling.

Its true that the first victory is the catalyst for addiction, but to say as much is superficial.

You’re talking about the addiction as a starting point after you win, even just once, right? Well, this is where thoughts of "more victories" may enter your mind, causing you to increase your wagers and gamble irresponsibly. But isnt there also an inherent personality trait or perhaps a life circumstance that causes someone to gamble?

So, in the case of gambling, it might not just be winning that drives you; it might be something deeper. Nonetheless, its a lose-lose situation, no pun intended. Nevertheless, you make an excellent point about victory; I cannot deny that it contains a great deal of truth and value.

i also believe that there's more to just one winning why a certain person will be addicted to gambling. as you mentioned, it may be on his personality oe life's circumstance, but the truth is, it may vary from one person to another as they have their own reasons why they are into gambling. they may have tasted their first winning, but what are the plausible reasons why they continue to keep on gambling? it can vary from one's personal struggle in life to their personal targets.

People who have addictive tendencies will always have that "one more" mindset in them thinking that if they continue what they're doing, they're going to get a positive outcome if they dig deeper, or in this case play more. Be it a win or lose, gambling addicts will always see something out of reason to justify their actions. They'll even call it fate for the to win or destiny or whatever it is that you call it.

This “one more” mindset is only applicable when someone already a huge win or a decent profit but for someone like the example of OP that doesn’t win a dime on gambling will obviously not think this way because it’s very hard to become persistent on getting something without experiencing how great it is.

I rarely win, though it still got me 'hooked' before in gambling. It doesn't matter what outcome it is that you get in gambling - you will always get hooked to it if you are really inclined to gamble.

I think you alreay win at some point even rarely that’s why you are still coming back to play despite your bad experience.

You are right that addiction starts after someone wins, but there are also those who vice versa addiction starts when playing and multiples of doubles (eg 500x) pass you by. So that encourages the person to chase the multiples that he has seen before and hope to get them in the next bet. There are many more factors to the addiction starts, like seeing a close friend win while he loses. As a result, jealousy arose again and wanted to try it again at the casino, hoping that his fate would be the same as what his friends experienced. I often witness this kind of phenomenon in my neighborhood where some people who gamble online lure newbies to addiction. You know for yourself that an invitation from a friend is always difficult to refuse.

I strongly agree with you. Sometimes people who started doing gambling are just bored and just want to discover something exiting until they experience the adrenaline rush they get from gambling by risking something like money. Some people like reclaiming their losses and just want to plainly defeat casinos. Each defeat they get gives more reason why they should stay long in a casino to get revenge from their losses no matter what.
