Most of the people that are extremely addicted to gambling are just there for one reason:

They all are chasing huge profits.

That is the only answers to this, and they feel the adrenaline when they gamble, and they get more and more addicted to that feeling.

Well, no one can escape, but you cannot be comparing what you will have to do once to what you have to be doing consistently. Even if life is a gamble, it is pretty absurd for people to be relating that with casino gambling, as they are totally different.

Choose a wise husband from a bunch of boys - at least to do that, won't you study the person you want to spend the rest of your life with first ? In gambling, there is nothing to study than you getting lucky.

Choose a school to study - That is a one-time thing, and I am sure you can easily check review of schools before even entering any of the institutions. This to me does not even sound relative at all to gambling.

No need to even go further! Sure, we cannot predict life outcomes, but we got to do what we have to do, and in most cases, you will always be able to have options, and plan to do things right, to get the best, based on the fact that whatever you need with research on the school you want to go, who you want to marry or where you want to work can be researched. Those you cannot get from real gambling.

You may view at these all as gambling but actually these are choices. Going to college is not a gamble, it is a necessity for some while a choice for some. No risk to take because at the end you will still be getting something and that is learning. Choosing a husband is not gambling. You dont kidnap a man to be with you for the rest of your life. Getting married is not a one night event. Greed causes a person to be addicted to gambling.

Lots of things. If you really want a logical or psychological answer google is the place. Moreover, the following topic is discussed multiple times on the forum if you care to look for it. Lock the thread, it isn't adding anything constructive to the section.

I agree that addiction to gambling is quite a common problem and a concern for many. But I don’t agree with your views on the role of gambling in everyone’s life. The instances you have given are too senseless. I mean how you can relate such important decisions of one’s life to gambling. Choosing a life partner is a crucial decision made only once in lifetime. Gambling involves making instant decisions or trading on luck to earn money. I am sorry but I think there is no relation between gambling and the examples you’ve mentioned.

I got your point here that sometimes without realize we do gamble although money are not involved but indeed some of options we have choosen in the real life similar such as gamble and we can not escape from gambling and we can assume if we had pick wrong options such as lost in gamble because it was not according to our expectations

because......

any choice in every bodies’ life is actually a gambling…

choose a wise husband from a bunch of boys is a gambling
choose a school to study is a gambling
choose a boss to work with is a gambling

so, gambling is addictive…

no one can escape...
I'd rather use the word RISK which is more sounds good to me. Smiley
In life, risk is everywhere and in every decision that we make there is risk. Gambling has different meaning of course especially if there is no money involve. We gamble in life to survive everyday but having that guts to take risk on any decision is the most important thing. Gambling with money is really addictive, you'd better stay away from that or be in hell for good. Losing money will always be in a gambling side, be wise, think better for you to have a meaningful life in the future.

Yes, our life is full of gambling and sometimes we got a good result and in the other time, we've got a bad result. But I am sure that if we can choose with the right, then we can get a good result too. As long as we can choose for the good thing, we will get the good result too. People make their own choice and I am sure that they will think for the result that might come to them and they are trying to choose the good thing. But sometimes, even we are gambling with our lives, if we know something with good, then I think we can predict the next things that we can get and we can also get the good result too.

You got  a point there, if you see from the other perspective its true that we are gambling every day, when we choose one decisions it can be consider as gambling, but I think there are different in making decision in life and gambling in casino, the reason why we are addicted to gambling is caused by greed, greed of making more money, while in making decision in life we are choosing option to get the best of the situation, making choice in our lives can't make us into gambler

Choosing the right spouse is not a gamble, because before you get married you get to know each other. You know already what you are going into. You are even given the last chance to back out when the priest ask if theres anyone who is against your marriage please stand up, in gambling there's none like that. Its not right to compare gambling and your decisions in life. gambling is gambling. If you want to have fun and entertain yourself, play and gamble, don't take it seriously and stop being greedy. Its that simple.

Like the others, they are addicted to gambling because they want to get a lot of money quickly. And usually those gambling addicts have felt victory at the beginning of their gambling, and that made them forget themselves and addicted to continuing to gamble.

Those that are addicted to gambling are likely beyond the monetary aspect i think. Because if it's about the money then losing a lot would make them think about what they lost and what they can still lose. It's the process itself that they're addicted to not the result.

It is money that attracts them else just imagine if their is no money involved in gambling and people are asked just to come and play and go and pay small fees for using it, how many people will exists in those casinos and online gambling. Only those who play it for entertainment would be their rest would not even turn up.

Right.It's the huge amount of money that is at stake that makes millions of people become intensely addicted to gambling.We tend to be more greedy when we think about the big reward we can get if ever we'll win.Without this,surely people will not even turn their heads into gambling.

Decisions on life do really have that kind of risk factor thing but it is actually inevitable and always been part of peoples life.So the thing you would do is to
choose up correctly and do take much time to consider which one would be the best option or move to make on where you wont really regret in the end.
Choosing a wife does have a risk but there no such thing about perfect wife or any other related things so the actual thing here is on your own choice or decisions
that would suits you. Gambling game is different because addiction can give out devastating effects not only on your financial but can really mess up even on relationship with your loved ones.

From this point of view every choice in life is a gambling, but I believe it's beyond of being addicted to it or not. Choices are needed in life, it's not an addiction, but a necessity. Of course we might be "gambling" when choosing where to live or work, who to marry, what car to buy, to travel or to save money... Without these "gamblings" there isn't movement in life, or there isn't even life.

However, never forget that you are on the control all the time, you are the one who decides if you are a conservative or an aggressive in the real life's gambling, depending on your choices.

Mostly people that don't have a lot of money and need more, who also don't know that all games are against them (house edge). I have known some gambling addicts in my life, and a good portion of the people that I knew fit this category. Some people also don't have the mental willpower to stop gambling, which makes gambling a difficult thing to get out of unless someone is able to secure help for the person in question who is addicted to gambling.

At the same time, gambling can also be a perfectly good source of entertainment if you exercise the right precautions to ensure you aren't spending more than you can afford. I personally do this, and I'm not addicted to gambling at all, but I still do gamble quite often with the money I can afford to spend.

Lol!! These are called informed gambling and not based on pure luck! It involves a lot of information research before we actually take a decision on choosing a husband and wife or school or a boss!

The gambling is based on pure luck in majority of the cases. So the examples you've cited here, doesn't really hold its ground.

Although we can find many things in our lives as gambling but I don't think if choosing a school is gambling, because gambling is basically both parties who have different destinies, such as someone who benefits and someone who is disadvantaged. In choosing a school that can receive profits and losses, only one individual i.e he who registers. Choosing a school is complicated, but it's not gambling. e.g
If you choose the right school, then you are lucky / benefited.
If you choose a school that is not suitable for you, then you are the loser.
So in this case the one who receives the profits and losses is only one individual and the school does not.
