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 don't think any of your selection can be considered gambling unless you select blindly like for example choosing a school to work is gambling, you just going to choose any school, you will do a research on the reputation of the school, you always set up criteria to come out with good results, you don't do this thing blindly, if you choose like that, then you are indeed gambling.

The immediate need for money and the hope of winning is one of the reason for users getting intensively addicted to gambling. Once in need gambling could have helped with the winning and the same is not possible to happen forever. This is where the misunderstanding on gambling happens and users gets addicted.

Basecon my experience before the reason why i intensely get addicted to gambling is when i am losing. I wanna get back with my losses and for that i kept on playing until i win back everything. However outcome is the opposite, i keep on losing.

That feel of being greedy chasing your losses makes you more addict, i was like this before but when I lose more i tried to control myself now. Being addicted in gambling is a choice that people always do, you can still escape from that just try to control yourself.

Yes it's always the greed that makes us fall into addiction. But i think gambling addiction can be prevented if you can discipline yourself or even change your focus in life. Minimize gambling and give more quality time to your family and to some hobbies that are more profitable than gambling.

Well for some it can be a way to make money but for most people, especially the smart ones, it is just for entertainment.
Addiction can be caused my things out of your control like genetics. It can also be ones environment and your surroundings.
if you want to escape your gambling addiction you must change your lifestyle.

It is considered that gambling addiction is caused by desperate financial need in most cases, but I personally disagree with that notion. There are many rich people addicted to gambling because of their greed. It's not that they are in desperate need of money, but it's just that it's never enough for them. Also, there are people who think that they are poor while they are not. Those people desperately try to earn money at all costs, not only with gambling, but with it in particular, until they become really poor. Don't be like them. Don't think that you are smarter than others who earn their money through hard work, and you'll be okay.

Not only for the profit but also for being entertained . gamblers do also play gambling because they want to past the time or to enjoy but that does not mean that they are already rich . they still expect to earn but their main goal is only to have fun . now when they are hooked in the game the forgot the time , they forgot to eat , etc... This is a sign that they are addicted because they cannot get enough of playing . this was the same feeling when we got addicted on other stuffs like for example playing video games , or drinking alcoholic beverages , eating , etc...

It's lack of self-control that ruins a gambler.
Unlike other addiction, gambling does not have any physical addiction, it's all in your mind and nowhere else.
Though mental problems and Gambling are sometimes studied together.
I remember the case last year a gambler shot people in a concert in the middle of Las Vegas and was a mental patient.

You're definitely right when you said gambling addiction have nothing to physical addiction because the buzz which drifted gamblers into addiction have to do with to do with mind and thinking. However, no one can totally control himself except such person know to accept the fact about gambling and also a discipline type.

Plenty of free time. This is because during your free time, you are more likely to find something that will entertain you which in this case can be gambling. When you have plenty of free time, it wouldn't matter so much for you thus your self control could become weak.

That’s why you have to spend your free time well so you will not get addict. The eagerness of every person to make easy money makes them more addict and since gambling is a great way to win big money they tend to do it more often. Addiction can ruin your life and everything, control yourself now.

But think it this way. If you will be spending your time on gambling, your free time, that would also make you addicted since that way of passing the time will become a habit of yours, will be a hobby, and will turn to addiction. If you are using it in your free time, be sure that you can still gamble what you can afford. You might regret it if you don't.

No doubt for that because if we like to play the game with money involved, the passion for repeating it on the other day will always come and that will make us play over and over. We cannot deny that passion will always come and we need to control before we are losing control ourselves. Once we lose control, you will know that we cannot stop at the right time.

Firstly, as the OP stated every part of life is gambling choosing the perfect partner, boss to work with, course and investment with the inclusion of real gambling what usually lead to addiction is not accepting and abide by the certain rules of life and the game.
We both know the chance of winning in gambling is 1%, if accept and live with it such person will always accept his fate whenever he lost the game and such person won't be addicted.

We can't assured that we are only going to use spare time and money because once we got engaged self control is really hard to do, overcoming your addictions is way far from just quitting after playing some games, it's a process where you needed to win over your emotions, make sure that you are well aware of possibilities.

There is no need to overcome this issue as we know there are so many gamblers who are gambling and earning from it, when you first enter gambling then it is not good to quit because the more you spend your time you will become experienced, so time makes us perfect never give up just keep trying and stay with gambling.

This one here is a really bad advice and example to follow.Many gamblers suffer losing big money by thinking that with time they will become more experienced and win in gambling, while experience does matter it is not a determining factor to win in gambling.When you become addicted there is only one solution and that is to get help in a professional manner.

For some people that could be the only way but not all addicted gamblers have the same situation. Some of them just need a little nudge or inspiration from close friends and their families to rethink their habits. Professional help are for those people that are beyond influence from their family and friends. A severe case like that destroys relationships so last resort would be to get help from someone who specializes in psychiatric fields.

I know a lot of people do gambling here in crypto and even in real life because they can earn here then they don't have anything to do so i think that's why they turn to be an addict actually me too in real life like i play dota,counter-strike and basketball with risk big money then in crypto i play but sometimes only and i do that to learn then if i earn that's good and if not that's also good

I get the point which I certainly agree with. In my opinion people become intensely addicted to gaming when they actually relying everything to it, like making a living through gaming, rhe pressure that they actually feel make them more eager to win in every game which lessen the ability to think about the better strategy to increase the probability of winning. Gaming is mainly for entertainment, and since it attracts so much audience then programmers start to incorporate money to it which makes us more determined to play. I see gaming as a way for me not to be bored, and I prevent myself from being dependent to it for me to sustain the things I need that is what I do whenever I engage in casino with proper moderation in playing their various games like Poker, black jack, slots, roulette and many more also enjoying their great deals of bonuses since they accepts bitcoin deposits.

There are many reasons to be addicted to gambling but in my opinion, the main reason is the medium of entertainment. Gambling is one of the popular media entertainment for this period, there are many online sites around this gambling that offer new and attractive benefits to people. Many people think of Gambling as a means of making money. Gambling is actually very addictive because it is a very natural reason to add gambling to its features.

I think the psychology of losing money on something that is luck based makes people question their luck. I mean sometimes people go unlucky too many times in a row and they think that they can't continue to be that much unlucky for too long so they need to start winning because their luck will turn which sometimes do happen but most of the time because of the house edge doesn't happen that frequently.

I just want to tell all those people who chase their losses because you can't lose 18 times in a row, well you can, its common and it happens. Having a 20 losses in a row on a dice game is 20% for $50k tries so the longer you play the higher chance of losing many times in a row becomes. Chasing the loss becomes an addiction in many people and can't stop until they recover all their money which most of the time they don't and that is why they become addicts.
