Topic: This study explains gambling addiction (Read 1442 times)
Very beautiful article and although explanation is not 100% accurate it gives indication why gambling can make you addicted to it.
Thanks for this article, it's really interesting. Reassuring to see not we humans are the only gamblers. However personally I've never heard about pigeons gathering huge gambling debts. Perhaps they would if they could tho' 
.
. I think these study also find the end result which we guys do. People have a tendency to win and win only, if they see something yellow shinning they call it gold 
, like that when they see some huge odds ahead of them, they fall for it and that's the basic reason behind any addiction.
You are right. People should understand that they cannot win every bet they make. I think the study explains good too, but well, when you dont have good suggestions to avoid gambling, its pretty useless for such a study. , like that when they see some huge odds ahead of them, they fall for it and that's the basic reason behind any addiction.
incredibly interesting article, thank you for this.
Gambling addiction is perfectly explained here, new gamblers would find it quite easy to leave addiction if they read such things. But gamblers like me who have been too old now in this addiction are hard to be told such things.
facts say that. if you every day gambling or gambling often. 80% of players. will become addicted
yes agree with you because these hobbies have very high risk for yours life and can ruin you and all of your family because if someone has addicting they will do anything for do a gambling even they must be sacrifice their wealth and also their families
It's diffrent reason for everyone, for ones it's addictive because they gamble for fun, while others just can't stop it because it's their only way to get money
facts say that. if you every day gambling or gambling often. 80% of players. will become addicted
For beginners, i think it's important to note the Gambler's Fallacy. Look it up on Wiki. Well if you think about it, this mentality is what lured people to continue to play. Good play by Casinos because this is what they used to get you hooked.
Very correct, anyone who has recently started to gamble should check it for sure. I think people should understand that gambling sites are designed in such a way that they wont loose, basically because they have bigger bankroll then yours. 
I call this addiction 'the dangling carrot on a stick' type because getting the incentive in front of you ( the jackpot) makes you spend more and more money. Actually a lot of companies specializing in free to play games with microtransactions employ psychologists who help create the addicting schemes in the gameplay which are focused on you spending more cash for obtaining that in-game goal. 'Nickle and dime you to death' is just preying on peoples' addiction too.
Good read, such a fine line between fun and going to far
Yes there is a very fine line between going mad and being sensible too. Gamblers often get mad while playing and they loose all money, while if they can remain in their senses in bad situations they would profit much more. 
I think these study also find the end result which we guys do. People have a tendency to win and win only, if they see something yellow shinning they call it gold , like that when they see some huge odds ahead of them, they fall for it and that's the basic reason behind any addiction.
It explains quite nicely, I wont call this the best of explanation or review about gambling addiction but yes they have got the point why actually gambling makes you feel addicted. , like that when they see some huge odds ahead of them, they fall for it and that's the basic reason behind any addiction.
people expect do more for their gambling result and everyday hoping that they will win big from gambling and without they realized they are already become addicting because gambling already affecting their mind i think this is one of the risk if someone did to much gambling in their lives
Yeah it's safe to say that a regular gambler is an addicted gambler. Since there is consistency. It's wrong I know, but inevitable if there is a pattern in your gambling.
Regularity becomes addiction.

what ever study or books , no one can change the mentality of the gamblers , everyone knows that on long term will be in loss then also on a small hope they just do gambling, telling advice is very good but following it is hard.
I used to gamble a lot in the past, even tho I have always been a casual, for fun gambler, but the study nonetheless explains how it works, I know that a true addict is very hard to recover, but not impossible tho, with professional treatment it can be done.
gambling is addicting for everyone by diffrent things, for ones it's a game, for others it's a time killer and for other ones it's like job, reason is very diffrent
Some people are just bored with their lives and then they need some entertainment that gives them hope and a adrenaline rush. This is why some people jump from bridges with ropes tied to their
legs. { One for the entertainments and two for the rush it gives them } I see this like a hamster in a wheel... You running round and round, thinking that at some time you will reach the end. We work
every day, hoping to become financially independent, but when we get close to that, we buy bigger cars and bigger houses, and then we start running in the wheel again.
Some runners even get
addicted to running, because it releases some "feel good" chemicals when you exercise and you get addicted to those feelings.
What I find difficult is, why do old people make up the majority of people who visit casinos?

This study explains nothing but is quite basic which anyone can explain actually. I think gambling is not a disease which cant be treated, if you cure gambling addiction with proper treatment, it would work and you will leave it quite easily.
I think these study also find the end result which we guys do. People have a tendency to win and win only, if they see something yellow shinning they call it gold , like that when they see some huge odds ahead of them, they fall for it and that's the basic reason behind any addiction.
