I think that every person should have a life mission. Something very important.

There is an opinion that every person came to this world to change it for the better. If a person has a mission, then the person will not be subject to any addictions (neither gambling addiction, nor alcohol addiction, nor drug addiction, etc.). It is very difficult to knock such a person off his life path.

Gambling is entertainment. In some cases, it can be part of training (training tolerance to risk and risky life strategies). In any case, gambling is not a source of constant income.

A person who believes that with the help of gambling he will improve his financial situation is at risk (he may develop gambling addiction).

You have an interesting view and of course there is something important about the mission. Many addicted players do not even think about it and just play because they like it, but it would be better if many of them really thought about something more important in life, because gambling is just entertainment and it should not be put in first place by addicted players. And if some of them consciously play a lot and lose, then others cannot resist this addiction and just get out of it when they want, this is already a real big problem. And what exactly will help such a player, no one knows, you need to work with him and work out various little things in order to catch on to those things that trigger him to play.

People addicted on gambling because they want to win a big jackpot as they are reading some story and also they got fun. So they gamble constantly. And the emotions we have in us affect us very quickly. When you use something regularly and then want to get away from it at some point, you feel empty. And then you go back to it again. This is basically how gambling becomes an addiction. I was such an addict and this activity took a toll on me

You are correct the reason why people become addicted to gambling is because they feel good amount of money can be won gambling, and they just feel getting this is just by there own ability. The main reason why people gets addicted to gambling is because they lack understanding in gambling.

People who end up becoming addicted to gamble never believe gambling is unpredicted, they feel the more they gamble money can be easily won in gambling. If those who are addicted have the understanding of gambling I don't think they will be into addiction of gambling. If gamblers are aware of the understanding of greed, gambling wins not been certain, emotions, it will really help in preventing people getting addicted to gambling.

Winning moments or getting money does really give out that good feeling and thats what make a certain person will really be having that kind of changing of mood despite on setting up their limits earlier.
People do get addicted if they will really be wanting to ask more winnings and they will really be that neglecting on what their mind been telling about their control and limit.

Emotions are really that a very strong factor on why people do really end up on having those bad actions because they had tolerated on what their emotions telling them or how they do feel.
Yes, you might be having that kind of earlier thinking but once emotions are really that trying out to stir up then it is really that hard to resist if you dont have that self control.

Everything that pertains about excessive dealing up wit something is always been bad and this is something that put up on someones mind specially on gambling that this one really involves money. Be careful on dealing up with gambling because it could really that destroy your life if you wont be be that careful. Addiction is on the time or moment that you cant resist on playing despite of those huge loses.

People will really be just that starting on having those regrets on the time that they are experiencing hard situations. It not really that bad to gamble if you do make yourself that responsible.
They are really just that tending to forget even the most basic stuff or common sense on dealing up with something that needing up to expense some fund for you to enjoy.
Its not bad to enjoy but spending too much then this is where things get messy.

That is why people must always aware when they playing gambling and not risk too much money or too often because that can change their minds from limiting their gambling activity and become playing gambling more often. That can destroy their life especially if they chase the win and can't resist from the temptation that comes from gambling. If they can't dealing with gambling or treats gambling with right, they will have a problem by losing their money and they can become addicted to gambling.

If they can realize what happen to them, they may regret and experiencing hard situation. But that will not guarantee to see them will stop gambling and trying to solve their problem. Many people are lose their control in gambling and they don't realize about that so they will not stop gambling instead keep playing gambling. They can playing gambling but with moderately and responsible so there is nothing bad can happen to them.

What makes people so addicted to gambling?

Do you know anyone who is heavily into gambling?

i am Curious to know the different views about this above questions

One things I’ve noticed with addiction is that it happens mostly to things that are highly risky and are also highly profitable in the sense that you can use any amount of money to get any amount of money you can imagine. The hopes of getting rush through that means keeps the mind addicted to it and always persuading yourself that you’ll get it right one day no matter what. Gambling is even more prevalent in societies that are facing a lot of hardship or most common in vulnerable people that tend to see a way out of abject poverty through gambling. They may want to always consider spending some little amount on bets in hopes of maybe they can win big one day not knowing that the addiction is already setting in. Addiction I know mostly of are with things that don’t require you to spend much on in most cases and that you can easily partake in any part of the world with.

Casinos and bookmakers use a lot of tricks to create a magical positive atmosphere around the player, which calms him down, reconciles him with reality and gives hope for a big win. In other words, casinos and bookmakers sell a dream (especially casinos). It is not for nothing that they say that casinos are created for entertainment. A person goes to a casino to have fun and, among other things, to dream. He may even lose a certain amount of money, but this loss does not always immediately cause him to reject it. More often than not, losses cause a desire to win back. This is a dead-end path, but beginners often do not know about it and fall into a kind of trap.

Yup, it is certain that all forms of action that lead to excessive aspects are mostly done because of the urge to win, or I mean the urge to get a big win like that produced by other gamblers and of course the obsession with winning can very easily lead a gambler to a cycle of addiction. You said something right that the more we think about winning, the more uncontrolled we will be in every decision we make, most likely most of our decisions will tend to be aggressive or impulsive, therefore because of this we are always advised to only make gambling a place of entertainment, none other than because when money is not our priority in gambling, it is unlikely for us to take various impulsive actions, meaning that the possibility of our loss will not be too great.

People who cannot resist the urge to gamble when they have lost are people who in my opinion have failed to have and build good discipline in themselves when gambling. Those like this will not feel satisfied even when they win at gambling, there will be a feeling of continuing to pursue greater victories and there is an urge to continue gambling when they lose. This is because they were wrong in responding to gambling at first.
You are right, gambling itself is not a bad thing when done with good responsibility, such as having limits on the money allocated for gambling and being aware of when to stop gambling, such as not extending a gambling session when you have lost. I don't think there are many people who can stop when they have lost in gambling.

What you said is one of the factors that can make someone addicted to gambling. Yes, they want to get a big win, even though it all depends on luck. Thus they ignore all the risks that exist because they are too focused on the victory they want, even I think they will stop when they realize the money they have been spent on gambling. The reason is that the more we think about winning, the less we can think wisely about what decisions we will make. Emotions will definitely control us at that time and it will worsen the situation where we cannot distinguish what we should and should not do.

I myself think more on some of the points you mentioned, such as with the Environmental Factors. Currently, of course, everyone, especially young people or teenagers, are familiar with online gambling, this indirectly can certainly affect those who previously did not know gambling at all. In addition, I am sure that wherever there are young people or teenagers who gather or hang out, there must be some who know about online gambling and even do it, and conversely, there are also those who do not know about it and do not do it and this can be influenced when he hangs out too often with those who know about gambling because occasionally people who already know gambling can invite him to try his luck. In addition, the impact of this Impact of Technology is clear, because with the increasing development of technology, many things can be accessed easily, including gambling, while currently everyone must have a personal gadget.

The key word for your sentence for me is obsession, that is the purest causing someone addicted to gambling, either because he wants to become rich, double money, just looking for pleasure and others who have the prefix without having limits in playing gambling will end in addiction.
The obsession will give a view of a gambling corner that can convince themselves to continue to conduct experiments in gambling, so that they can be addicted and lose a lot of money.

Or simply that talks about greed and that what makes a person or a certain individual on which they will really be able to make themselves getting addicted with gambling.
Once your mind having this kind of perceptions and hopes about gambling like on getting rich or having tons of money then it will really be better to make yourself that stop immediately.
People will really be pushing up theimselves out of their limits just because of those kind of hopes and optimism towards into their plans and goals on reaching on gambling.

Getting addicted is something that will really be making yourself put up on such situation if you wont really be that careful because usually you do find yourself having
issues on the moment when its already too late.

Unfortunately when greed comes rationality will be closed and we will be made to make a continuous way of gambling, ambitions that do not die and continue to be obsessed with gambling, it is ensured if greed arises in the minds and the mind will be very likely to get an addiction to gambling.
Addiction is like a parasite that will continue to eat important parts of yourself such as rasinoality of healthy thinking, responsible in finance and other things that can discipline us to be better will disappear by itself if there is addiction and greed in us.

Quote from: Su-asa on November 28, 2024, 11:34:14 AM

Most people get addicted to gambling because they want to get rich quick, sometimes they see how others get lucky with it and this might cause an obsession. Once you start seeing gambling as a way to attain financial freedom you will definitely become an addicted gambler. This is why you should play for the sole purpose of entertainment. Some also get addicted to gambling because they try to make it a coping mechanism or a way to distract their mind from what they are going through. Just like any other addiction gambling shouldn't be something to be used as a coping mechanism.

Getting rich quickly has been the downfall of many individuals. Not only in gambling but in other online schemes they involve themselves. But they fail to understand that any quick way of getting money that is not guaranteed is also the fastest way to go bankrupt. This means they might get into debt and be unable to pay their debt. Gambling does not guarantee financial freedom, it should be done with the mindset that it's not the main focus for us to get wealthy. Only a few persons were lucky enough to win huge in gambling. Gambling only favors the few and make the masses go in pains.

Many people think that gambling is a shortcut to getting rich quickly, of course this is not true because winning in gambling is not certain, it is difficult to get, besides, if they win, I am sure they will not be able to immediately change their life situation for the better, it is very unlikely to happen, especially if they gamble with a low bet amount, so even if they win, the winnings are not much. People who focus on gambling will be able to make them rich are people who have a problematic mindset, over time they will most likely only experience many problems instead of getting changes for the better in the future. And what you said is true, only a few people can be lucky in gambling by getting big wins and can change their lives for the better.

It's very simple, the delusion of making millions is what makes a lot of people addicted to,..you can't achieve financial freedom with gambling, the moment you accept this thought I don't think you'd let yourself become addicted to it.. gambling addicts go through a lot of crisis and the most common one is being bankrupt and indebted, borrowing money to gamble has to the height of it all, it's something that's not rational but when that addiction takes over they would do anything just for them to gamble.. Gambling is indeed a vice and has done more harm than good.

Of the many people who gamble, there must be some who think that they can make millions of profits by gambling, but people who think like this are usually those who cannot accept defeat or lose the money they bet on gambling, so when they lose, instead of stopping, they gamble again to get a win that can cover their losses. And when someone is addicted to gambling, they can do anything to gamble again, as you said by borrowing and having debts, in my opinion, this is one way for them to get money and gamble again, cases like this have happened a lot.

What makes people so addicted to gambling?

Do you know anyone who is heavily into gambling?

This thread might be posted nearly a decade ago, but I believe that it's still relevant to this date.

Now to answer the question, it's the desire to win money on gambling that makes them addicted to it. I've seen many gamblers that shared their story on various social media platforms and most of them says the same thing. They start to gamble, win huge money on their first try, and after that, they want to win more money, until it come to a point where they will lose all of them. Now if they lose their initial capital, they want to recover it so they will deposit and the cycle goes on, and on, and on until they get addicted into gambling already.

I don't know anybody that's heavily into gambling personally, but I've seen many gamblers that shared their story in gambling, and all of them had negative experiences about it. As for me, it all comes to how good are you at controlling yourself, and the proper mindset. There's nothing wrong with gambling in general. It's the mindset of the gamblers that what makes their life either fruitful or miserable.

IMHO.

It's not about getting rich quick but getting quick money through gambling and we all know that it is how it works. With that mindset, something doesn't become proper.

Those that have seen people lucky, potential addicted gamblers becomes jealous of them. And if they think that it did happened to them, it's also possible that they might be a fortunate gambler.

They try and try until they start to see the signs of being an addicted gambler with bad results but they are having hard time in accepting it.
