Blindly believing in gambling leads to addictions.
Due to the greed of making big amounts of money in quick time many people enters into gambling and making losses until they realize their real situations. This greed turns into 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.

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.

In my experience during play gambling behavior that often I do if I win it will make me become addicted to play again the same if I lose in gambling games I could borrow money from people and then play again until I get bored.
And for now I am grateful not too addicted to playing gambling
only play if I had own capital

Addiction will start with just 1 game and keep on thinking that they are able to win. They always have that hope that if they play this round there's a possibility that they can win.

As long as they think there's a possible chance for them to win they will keep playing until there's nothing left to lose.

That is me I will just play more until I lose.

Well with roullete I like it because you can win some. That is why I play more there because I don't feel like I have loss.

ANd I just paly more.

Persistence always leads to addiction. People will start gambling for fun at the start and slowly get engaged into the act. It reaches a place where they cant do without gambling. The other reason is because people think that when they keep on with the gambling, they will strike the jackpot and welcome richness. They will therefore keep on trying as they eye for the bigger amounts of cash. Without knowing, they will end up addicted to the activity. You need to watch your frequency of gambling if you want to have control over it.

As far as my experience, when I see people can win big, I'm asking into myself, why can I win just like he did ?
So for the first try, I'm deposit some amount and the result is I'm win big. For next game, I want to make more profit instead I'm got loss from gambling.
Since human is greed based and never satisfy, so I keep gamble and gamble overtime until I can't realize that I'm already got addicted.

Just good advice: better stay away from gambling if you can't control yourself

We can call it situations or circumstances rather than behaviour which leads to taking steps in gambling .For example a guy from very rich family will love gambling at casinos not because he wants to become rich but just for fun because he has enough money to waste even if he loses at casinos .Rich people travel around LA just to play Casinos for fun.However if you're broke and want situations to get better you can still gamble as hoping you might just become rich.People with no jobs can also gamble to survive .

Behaviour of looking for Easy money leads to Gambling addiction. If you are lazy and looking for ways to earn money easily and very fast then there is chances of gambling addiction in you

If you are hard worker then don't worry
But one thing always keep in mind, Gambling are not made to make you rich but are made to make you lose your money. So avoid them as much you can

I would guess they gamble to mourn their loss. Either they need something to cheer them back up or lost a lot of money, they want to gamble to try to ease away their memories and then leading to a gambling addiction.

Or they could subconsciously adapt a gambling addiction by constantly thinking that it is "impossible" to lose this next time and keep betting more and more money.

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. 

For me I'd say my gambling addiction took off on my first decent sized win.

I playyed primarily just for entertainment until I hit a decent win.. After that I was hooked chasing that adrenaline rush you get on "yolo" bets.

Overall I say gambling is pretty hard to avoid in the BTC ecosytem.. Its everywhere and for people with addictive personalities it can be a downfall.

^ take his word for it. As a non-investor that followed the situation, I was pretty upset about what you did. But at the same time, I see the addiction as being like a drug, in a sense. I just hope you can keep from falling under again...

I think that the behavior that usually leads to gambling addiction is not treating gambling as recreational. If you play to make bitcoin, when you win bitcoin, you want to win more so you continue gambling, and when you lose you want to gain back what you've lost so you gamble more. Having self control is important.

What kind of class is this? Psychology?

And the answer is widespread, depending on the person. Most usually it's chasing losses. "I've lost $10 so now I need to win $10. Now I've lost $50 so I need to keep going. Now I can't pay my rent anymore unless I win! Now I'm going to lose my house if I don't win." And on and on. That's the most common case I see.

There is only one word for a gambler's behavior.
And that word is:
GREED

Without that why else would a gambler want to play a game that he/she would throw money into unless they want to profiteer from it? The addiction part comes when they want to try to win back what they lost.
The ones saying it is fun and entertaining that is utter nonsense.

I agree with those who say that people get addicted to gambling for the thrill of the game.  The question is what makes it so thrilling?  Most gamblers know that the house always wins and they still move forward with the bad bets.  Is the thrill just that important that they feel the need to get the fix of thrill?

I think most people think they are smarter and they have a tricks which actually beats the house edge so they will try with different tricks and by the time they realize that they are not that smart, it will to late. Mostly people chase either to recover their loses or want to win more.

Some people (Including me) have an overwhelming sense of greed. That's how I became addicted to sniping jackpots xD

Some other people just want to have some fun, but get hooked to the idea of earning money. It's just the idea of earning, even if you've lost more than you've earned.

Maybe it's just OCD, too. Some people just need to recoup their losses.
