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

There are hundreds of reasons and in many cases it differ from one individual to another but if there's one thing that similar to gamblers is the Brain's rewards system which released a substance called dopamine this dopamine is something you want to feel over and over again, it makes you feel superior and complete your personality and once you unleash this reward system you want to feel it, over and over again, and you will do everything to gambler to experience that dopamine..

Dopamine I would say, which is common to different addictions and even more so nowadays with online addictions. Those who end up hooked are addicted to the dopamine that gambling provides, so that even when they win a prize, instead of withdrawing it and leaving, they continue to gamble. We can talk about other things that have been discussed such as greed, ambition or an escape from their current unsatisfactory life, but at the neurophysiological basis of addiction is the constant secretion of dopamine when gambling.

The majority, especially newbies who enter casino gambling here in the crypto business world, become addicted when at the very beginning of their gambling they suddenly win an unexpected amount, that is often the beginning of their addiction without them realizing it right away.

Because of course, as newbies, they will immediately think that it is easy to get or win in gambling, when this mindset is always like this, it is only in a short period of time that they do not realize that they are becoming addicted and they no longer notice the losses they are losing in gambling, until they find out that they are losing a lot.

Yes, I agree with you, a sudden unexpected win while gambling is the first step for a new gambler to get addicted, because of this sudden unexpected win they think they will get such a win again very soon, and in this way they keep gambling, but they do not understand that this is the first step to their disaster.
They keep gambling constantly in the hope of this kind of win, they do not even think that the amount of money they are losing while gambling in this way is much more than their jackpot. They go out of financial discipline, they keep gambling beyond their means, and they keep getting into debt. And in this way, they lose everything at one stage.
Therefore, every gambler should be careful from the beginning, and always stay away from the dark world of gambling.

It is greed that has plunged them into the abyss of gambling addiction. They are never satisfied with what they get, even though the amount is many times the amount of money they bet. Instead of securing the money for something more useful, they actually bet it again to gamble with bigger bets and hope to get even bigger wins. In the end, the victory is gone, but not with the ambition to win more and the desire to return what should have been obtained, they return to placing many bets and accumulating many losses. However, defeat is not the only reason for someone to stop gambling, it is precisely from these defeats that their ambitions soar, their minds continue to be filled with curiosity about their luck so that they always want to continue gambling.

I think people get attached to the idea that they could win a life changing amount of money. Some people don’t have any idea how to invest or creat a business. They literally have no idea how to even pursue wealth. Gambling can be seen by these kinds of people as their only possible path to riches and they want to give it their best shot. Can’t blame them really, but it is a bit sad.

Yeah, I agree. Can't blame them for thinking that way because there's a lack of ways to make easy profits in this era. It's either you become a streamer or you become a scammer and that's the only fastest way to make easy money on the internet ways.
Gambling addiction can be accumulated in different ways and I think the fastest one is by losing money because a gambler will try to chase his losses. With that, you could be sure that he will deposit more and keep on depositing until he reached what he is aiming for or he depletes the amount of money in his wallet. Zero. He will have no reason to gamble more because there's nothing to gamble anymore.

Everyone wants to make life changing money from gambling, it is why 99% of people do gamble, and it is also the real reason why they end up getting addicted to gambling, when things aren't going their way, they believe not giving up and giving their all is the answer.

I know few people who are heavily into gambling but only 1 out of 10 find what they are looking for, he just seem to have more luck than the rest of us, gambling is a complete game of luck, if you failed to believe this you will destroy yourself with your believes.

In fact, many gamblers do not gamble to change their lives for the better by winning. They play in order to get emotions that are so lacking in everyday life. Playing gambling with the hope of winning that will change life can be either a beginner who does not quite understand the principles of gambling, or a person who has a gambling addiction, and this is already considered a disease that must be fought.

People become addicted to gambling because of they found a fun things in gambling and pleasure by playing many gambling games. They don't realize that playing gambling needs to have control, discipline, and many things in order to prevents the gambling addiction. But they don't care about that so they will just keep playing gambling from day by day and not limits their gambling activity.

They can not considering that gambling is a game of luck which they must have luck to win. They think that when they playing gambling more often than before can increase their chance to win. But that still not guarantee them to have luck and win the games but they will lose their money without any winning.

maybe it is a person who has such great self-confidence in gambling like those who think that they can win in gambling even though the gambling they do ends in defeat but because there is a thought that they will still be able to win in the next gambling then they will gamble again, this kind of thinking can make someone repeat their actions even though it has made them lose, even the more they lose, the greater their enthusiasm to win indirectly makes them gamble non-stop as a result making them addicted. Someone who is already trapped in an addiction tends to find it difficult to stop, it is unlikely that they can stop and recover, many people who are addicted to gambling only end up in a miserable condition.

This is true because I have experienced this before. I used to have this great confidence confidence about my ability to analyse sport matches, so this triggered me to place bets since I have great skills. Unfortunately, my experience in analysing matches didn't help me whenever I place bets, yet I never stopped placing bets because I believed winning was near. I migrated from analysing matches to chasing losses and finally to getting very uncomfortable when I don't gamble. I'm glad I realised on time that I was getting addicted and now I'm fine.

Sometimes, gambling addiction doesn't just happen because of the money involved, people get carried away by overconfidence, hope and even the fun involved. Yea, people are different and different circumstances can make them addicted. The most important thing is realising when you are crossing your boundaries, this will help you take measures to control it when you still can.

In fact, if we examine this further, this is part of the thinking that seems naive and does not want to admit that our thinking about gambling is a mistake that in the end the pattern continues to repeat itself without wanting to evaluate or learn from the experiences they have experienced.

This condition will clearly make us a little hassle and even the risk of addiction quickly becomes even greater because indeed apart from we cannot control what we do in gambling, we also seem to be trapped by our thoughts that are always trying to be positive with the belief that gambling will make us profitable without seeing the defeat and the many losses we have.
But when talking about gambling, it seems that something like this is indeed a common thing because not a few people feel this in their gambling journey.

that is a strong reason for the many people who are addicted to gambling, besides that I think many people have the wrong mindset like that in gambling so it is not strange when they become addicted.
The point is that the mindset that is not for seeking entertainment by gambling will end badly, addiction is no longer something that might happen but it is like it has become the final result that will happen, whether they win or lose if their thinking is wrong then addiction will occur. If they have instilled the wrong mindset about gambling from the start then the final result that will happen is addiction, as I have said whether the result is losing or winning addiction is something that is certain to happen when they instill the wrong mindset in responding to their gambling. But this will not happen to those who respond to gambling just for entertainment.

Greed is one major thing that makes people become addicted to gambling, trying a particular thing once and it generates money for them,they can't resist any longer and aim at getting it on daily basis that's the major feature that fuels addiction in gambling and I know some persons that have been dedicated in doing this, they become worse by the day cause of their nonstop quest for quick money.

Not only the desire for quick money, but also big money. I remember myself many years ago, when I first started playing slots. I was completely captivated by this idea. I thought that in this way I would be able to hit the jackpot to solve all my financial problems, but everything turned out exactly the opposite. I lost all my money and was left in debt not only to friends, but also to banks. Since then, I have been very careful about the process of playing. If there is no more money, then I stop and do not play anymore.

I almost want to call it a self inflicted injury, something that is terrible and hard to cope with because it was all your fault in the first place. Some call it a lack of self control or discipline but I think what causes one to gamble is either a tremendous amount of pressure or a bad history/ past can cause people to use gambling as a sort of coping mechanism. Another is greed on of the main reasons but I think pure addiction from the repeated thrill and hope for some monetary gain to help get them out of whatever rut they’re in. This is not always the case but surely can account for many people. Somehow you have to break the chains or sink with them all the way to the bottom of your own deep ocean.

Most people are addicted to gambling, in my opinion, it is the lure of victory and success that can be achieved instantly in gambling, in my opinion that is what makes many people addicted to gambling in pursuit of victory.

That's right, most people think gambling can make them rich overnight. Thus, those who are unemployed think that if overnight profits can be made from gambling, the curse of unemployment can be at least partially alleviated. Moreover, many people are under family tension, as a result of which they think that money is definitely needed to manage the family properly or efficiently, and many people think that it is possible to manage money in a short period of time from gambling. Even from such a view, many people get attracted to gambling and end up losing everything and spend their days in misery and mental turmoil.

Yes many gamblers consider gambling as one of the means of earning and they gradually increase their tendency to bet on gambling boards which turns them into a machine for losing more money. Instead of thinking of becoming rich, they should consider gambling as one of the means of entertainment and at the same time ensure limited allocation to reduce the loss of extra money. For the unemployed, the obvious addiction to gambling helps them to become prone to any crime and for money they start separating themselves from the family circle and start creating social unrest. I think people should be made aware to increase social values and remove any negative process and increase social and family peace and order.

others are greedy and one win makes them think they can keep on doing it.

yup , most people think that through gambling they can really make a huge return especially if they experience winning at first,wherein without knowing its just a trap for them to keep playing and they will realize that after all they have big losses . Lol it's being greedy to be honest that why they become addicted.

Yes, I completely agree with you, in fact, the desire to recover previous losses during gambling becomes a kind of mental trap, at that time every gambler thinks that they will recover all their losses in the next game. But this never happens, rather they end up losing more.
So see gambling only as entertainment, and gamble with money, that if lost, then you do not have to gamble with the mentality of recovering that loss later. Because this can make us more frustrated.
Rather, you should have the attitude that when you start losing, stop gambling, because when I lose, we keep gambling more emotionally. Which is absolutely not right, Because for this, our losses become more deeper.

Actually, it's not unheard of, there are gamblers who manage to recover their losses but the chances of something like this happening are very small. I myself can still remember and count incidents like this that I experienced when I gambled brutally, from the frequency of gambling I did, maybe only three or four times I won with the gambling I did after experiencing defeat.

But really this kind of action is not recommended, with me having experienced it myself, it makes me no longer want to have an interest like this because it only allows me to lose more money and worse, it can make me stressed if the results continue to be disappointing.
