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.
In the end they continue to play gambling until they get the win they hope for but the result is a loss, they can also experience addiction when they get a win, just like when new casino users will read player behavior for example new accounts are very often lucky to get wins so the casino knows that gamblers will come back again to gamble to get even bigger wins. that's how to react to gambling, the most important thing is to just control playing gambling so you don't get addicted
