Topic: What makes people so addicted to gambling? - page 7. (Read 2912 times)
I got addicted in poker becaues I won in tournaments for one month straight. But after that I always lose for 3 months. Good for me I did not deposit anything I just play on freerolls.
I think the people that become the MOST addicted to gambling are the ones who made money.
Casinos actually try to make people win at first, to get you hooked, and then they know you will play until you lose everything and then some.

How are casinos making people win at first? If they were cheating they could but other than that? What they do is offer some bonuses or free money but they know people will always come no matter what.
once you win in a gamble or your friends win a good amount of money. you will definitely get addicted to gambling in pursuit for more. this is easy money and people love "easy". The price is so motivating that quitting becomes a struggle. I personally have not engaged in gambling because of the great losses i have seen my friends experience.

To test their luck and usually it's always unlucky every time
It's one of two things.
*AGH I NEED TO RECOUP MY LOSSES*
*AGH I MADE PROFIT! IM GOING TO MAKE MOAR!*
Those above and EASY MONEY or FAST CASH.*AGH I NEED TO RECOUP MY LOSSES*
*AGH I MADE PROFIT! IM GOING TO MAKE MOAR!*
Which is never the case.
i think the main is the excitment that it gives. so imagine u bet ur hard earn money, you will feel the anxious and excitment when you click on the button or you open your cards 1 by 1, the hope to see how good your cards turn out to be or how bad it can be is really touching you and you can feel it. without money, one is just playing for the sake of playing, but with money, one will be drived to want to win.

addiction will start there thinking they will always win
when we talk about addiction there are many things should be considered , most of people get addicted cause they are trying to be rich quick
but in my opinion most of them are addicted because of the competition part and sometimes just to brag that they won couple thousands
we should not forget that there are many people who are addicted to video games or agar for example
addiction is really complicated to discuss

I'd guess that gambling has some effect on the reward center in the brain. it's an issue of the brain, which induces a specific behavior (gambling)
i think its the first big win they have. i know when i won my first big amount i thought to myself " whoa that was easy, maybe i should do this again".
and winning big once just gets people hooked.

There are couple mechanism which will lead you to addiction, it is pretty much the same with every other addiction as well:
1. Excitement - adrenaline rush and emotions are highly addictive.
2. Promise of great money - casino is selling you hope than you can win big money for nothing.
3. Problems: stress, emotional problems, feeling of emptiness, depression, family problems - all lead to addiction.
4. Commercials and ads of Casinos can make you interested in gambling.
5. You can have 'addictive personality' which is easily influenced by incentives.

Gamblers keep hoping a big win will end their problems. Once in a while they may win, which keeps their hope alive until the losses mount up again. Perhaps you may recognize yourself, gambling is the only shot at becoming a millionaire, a homeless or a losser.

Because, it's can make happiness (short time) when you win
The need of winning big to don't go to work the day after, that's the reason.
It's really easy to answer your questions. People want easy money and they start gambling. And than usually there are 2 variants : they either lose everything or win a bit and than lose only more. :/
Agreed with you. Many people are gambling with the dream of getting rich within short time and without any hard work. They look at the gambling as a shortcut, these people are getting addicted towards the gambling in the false dream of getting rich.
I guess you get addicted to cuz u know that if ur lucky enough u could make a lot of money from little bets, but those little bets are gonna be more and more $ as u keep gambling.
Yes that is the common person mind set because every one want a quick and easy money so they will try initially their luck with small amount on these gambling games and they will continue their gambling either they win or lose also because if they win they think they are lucky so continue until they lose. But if one lose then they will gamble again to recover their loses so this way slowly they will addict to these games

People can become addicted to any and all forms of gambling but some types of gambling are more addictive than others. Like frequent small wins, continuous play, bonus games, a high volume of near misses and the chance of big jackpots make slot machines amongst the most addictive forms of gambling. These games are designed to attract people attention and fall on their trap easily.
Yes all these kinds of games are very tempting for people to gamble for long hours and after some time very easily most of them will be addicted these games.
