I think gambling turns into addiction because people keep having hope that they can win. There's always a chance for a win.
That's what the majority of the people are thinking when they are gambling, there's always a next round, next round more chances to gamble away.

If you have a gambling problem you need to be careful because if you have this you have gambling problem:
- Feeling the need to be secretive about gambling.
- Having trouble controlling gambling habits.
- Gambling when you cannot afford to.
- Your friends and family express concern about your gambling.
So that you will become addiction.

There's a "buzz" associated with gambling, which is both exciting and scary. Chasing that buzz could lead to addictive behaviour.

I don't really understand it. I can play micro-stakes poker and feel my heart beating like crazy when I shove all-in for $5. Then I can bet thousands of dollars on a dice game and feel nothing. It's not about the amount of money involved (for me, at least) - I find poker so much more exciting and stressful than any single-player gambling game.

Greed leads to addiction. The euphoria that the gambler experiences when s/he wins is addicting enough that it can fire up their greed in profiting more from gambling. Whether they loose already, the euphoria will be stucked in their heads and so they will continue in hoping that once again they can win so that leads to addiction.

some of them said curiosity,they sure that they know how to beat the machine (video poker or slot gambling)

or know how to do analysis to beat the game, but actually the banker and the casino owner know this better than us

the next one is greed, human people most of them has a greed behavior, so they are not easily satisfied

In my case it's curiosity and the challenge but I'm not addicted. I beat the slot gambling machine (dice)  Smiley  I am interested in other games, but need a little more time to study them.

You are right that usually the banker or casino usually knows better, but not always. If you have a good strategy and analysis you can win, like in my modest attempt or in the case of the MIT blackjack team. Not only you can win, but you can win thousands.

Greed of money. A very large number of people have the desire to get rich quick without much effort. You just have to set the limits of loss and never go beyond them.

It is true that greed of money will lead some of them to destruction but with doing gambling we are making some effort too planning on how much are we going to earn but sometimes it is just not worth enough because in the end you will losing all your things down there.

Yeah, human behavior and human nature also plays an important role in getting addicted towards gambling, and yes if a person is addicted to other bad habits like drugs or liquor then he needs money for sure, as you don't get drugs very cheaply one need a good money to buy it, and for that either he will choose gambling so that he can make quick money and take care of other addictions.

I would like to get some personal opinions for a class I am taking and I would like to know what behaviors lead people to develop a gambling problem.  Some people will start gambling for fun and others will start gambling thinking they are going to strike it rich.  I would like your opinions as to why this happens. 
Traditional drinking and drugs along with those who like games of recreation and fancy are behaviours that can lead towards gambling. After a while that becomes greed and turns into a problem, especially for those with addictions or poverty.
Basically gambling starts slowly for most then reaches higher tiers, depending on a persons life situation their attachment to it variates.

When u wish to return what u invested leads to gambling addiction. Simply more u lose more u play more addicted u are. And I believe there is gambling for fun, and its only way to gamble and to not feel sorry when u lose or not to exited when u win. Just like playing cause its intresting thing to do, more then to do something other in free time. So just dont try to return invested and everything will be fine.

When you go for gambling with hope you'll have profits in the end, then you are halfway into the addiction.

Don't have clear exit plans and about how much loss you can take is also a factor

There are many possible causes of gambling addictions and some people may gamble for different reasons to other people. It is hard to tell without knowing each subject personally.

But in general there are some common symptoms:

1. Excitement - gambling is provoking your brain to produce the same hormones (endorphins, dopamine and serotonin) called 'hormones of happiness' as you would use drugs.
2. You can be an 'addictive personality'. In short you will be addicted to gambling faster and harder.
3. If you have not other means of wasting your free time, or are depressed or running from your life problems - you will likely be addicted to gambling just to fill the void in your heart.

From my experience our greed to get easy without any hard work lead us to do gambling and the result is get addicted to this on daily basis.

The answer is simple. People are delusional and imagine winnings before the game even starts. That's why a slot machine for example gets associated with winning not losing and when they see it they see a prize.
This makes people try their luck and keep pushing despite initial losses.

Yes, imaginary thinking of making huge amount of money over short period time is the primary reason for gambling addictions. The real problem is people never come out of their imagination of gambling benefits. This simply leads to life killing gambling addictions.

Mostly people faced losses in gambling, then to recover those losses people keep on investing into gambling and multiply the losses over time. At the end gambling become part of their habit and turns into addiction. Accept loss and avoid addiction is the thumb rule.

Yes there are many reasons for gambling addictions, over gambling is one of them. To recover losses people over gamble with out any preparation but only for making money in quick duration. Gambling become addiction when we stick on gambling any reason.
