Greed is a fact, but not the most important one.

Then what is the most important one according to you?

Quote

I think that people believe that they are not rich and due to that fact they try to make more money.

That is greed. Nothing more. Being satisfied with what you have is called being content and is the opposite of greed. You are thus contradicting your own statement.

Quote

The easiest way to do so is by gambling because they don't need so much efforts as it is more relevant to luck.

Yes but the luck is both powerful and deadly. So many people have been wiped off their money because of their addiction to gambling. In a way gambling is not a solution to poverty to getting rich. It is a source of entertainment and one should not waste their hard earned money there for just trying their luck. Those who dont understand this are the one who are becoming addicts.

"Sometimes winning isnt good at all". This is the phrase i always got in my mind whenever i saw someone or read something that pertains to gambling addiction. I see that people are so greedy and do anything to win. My observation is that, people experience winning ofcourse in gambling so they take many chances and risk bets to win again. Either the win rate is just 2 to 3 times per 15 bets, they are still getting hooked on it. Winning even once triggers addiction because people are greedy in nature. There are just people who can control themselves and there are not.

This happens if you fail to set a goal when to stop, it's very important to have someone with you when gambling and this is a friend that you bring along is not a gambler, he will be the one to urge you to stop when you are having a long run of lost, you will get out of control if you are alone and do not have control.

Having an ally or a friend when gambling can sometimes encourages you to play more because of your ego , you need to show up your friend that you can win more and you are expert in playing that game and sometimes your friend will be the reason on why you play more because he will encourage you to gamble . Idk think that winning triggers adiction because for me i already feel satiafied after i won but not when i loose because i feel the need to revenge .

Emotion or lack of control of it . They just keeping playing at expensed of their financial health & well being

I agree, they let gambling take control over of themselves. They continue gambling even when they're almost broke because of the hope that they might be lucky and hit a jackpot when in fact the chances of winning is very low. Self control is very important in gambling because you don't have control you might lose everything.

Gambling most of the time would not be a problem to anyone as long as they have the control.
I am a gambler who also like to try my luck betting on lottery, and I never counted my loses anymore as I know when I hit the jackpot
that would certainly change my life. I know my chance, it's very low, but since it's possible to win, I will still hope that one day I will win.
Note that I am just using my spare money, money that I can lose without feeling upset or disappointment.

That's usual for lottery bettors since the amount is very minimal plus you don't spend a lot of time for it. Place a bet and then wait the nexr day. Your emotions hardly gets a chance to affect your decision making also because there aren't very many decisions to be made. For casino players, this is where the challenge is. The more time you invest in gambling, the more emotionally drawn you are to it. And the more money you'll likely spend. Trigger for addiction? It starts with your interest in gambling and your decisions that will follow it.

Adrenaline that you get in between those dice rolls, human nature loves heart pumping moments and gambling easily provides that.

When I gamble through bots, I don't get addicted but when I play manually, I tend to get drift away.

As usually if reading medical sources, they blame for any addiction, including gambling, person's past. The addicted player usually has one of the following issues: Violations in the field of self-esteem, interpersonal disorders or dysregulation of own state of arousal. And then you need only some event which will change the trigger, and person gets emotions and arousal he missed, and he gets a need to repeat it again.

Tendency to win the game forces to fall in again and again investing money. This would be any game. And the feel you would cherish after winning the game would hunger again for the same. Every game, it may be based on any sports, would tempt to play and experience. These are few temptations that trigger addiction.

It comes as a result of facing with certain losses as well then gambler tries to bet more and more in order to collect some wins. Many factors involve in gambling addiction but the most common are stated therefore gamblers get addicted that leads to extremely harsh situations. Regardless of any kind of game it is but the approach and results are the same as stated that is why we should have control.

] I think most if gamblers wants to earn easy money especially a jackpot, so they always trying to gamble. After that they no longer notice that they were have already a gambling addiction. The money is always a reason, the why most people are addicted in gambling.

The money is the reason they entered the casino but the greed is what keeps them going and not stopping. Whole groups of addicts are just fed on by their inner hunger of greediness.

They are often those who are willing to defy logic because technically its not possible to beat the house edge if you are continuing to play without stopping after a green streak. But who cares about these logics when drug affected retarded brains start playing a shiny game of slots?

Whether we like it or not greed is in human’s nature, in their effort to earn money they choose to gamble because it’s where they can win big time without thinking that they can also lose more than what they have. We all have this mindset wherein we tend to always gamble even beyond our spending because of the hope that one day will win, not realizing that it already came to a point of being addicted to it.

Greed will always on our side, agree or not. Maybe in the first time, we can say that greed will not get close to me because I can control myself in gambling. But soon or later, if he still stays in the gambling places in the long, he will become addicting in gambling because of his greed. Many of us have proved that greed will be the biggest mistake we made, and we do not realize about this. In the end, we realize when we lose all of the money.

Gambling is something where money play a big role so the people are having intention of making money and their greed will make them to fall for gambling addiction.Addiction can also caused by some other reason,in general the chances of addiction to something when we are sad and alone is highly possible because our mind want happiness so it will stick with the habits which is giving happiness to the person.

Yes. Money will always be the causes of gambling addiction for most people because the hope making more money or recovering losses are main reason why money use to be the reason for most people addiction. Infact, every gambler that do gambling because of the greed of making money, recovering losses and in sad situation are ready addicted from every first start.

I think most if gamblers wants to earn easy money especially a jackpot, so they always trying to gamble. After that they no longer notice that they were have already a gambling addiction. The money is always a reason, the why most people are addicted in gambling.

There are a lot of people who aim short money in gambling. Even it is not all, you are right if money is main factor why people get addicted. Because on the other side, for people not aim a money and only entertainment purposes when they do gambling, they still can control themself so they are not get addicted.

People who are attached to earn quick money on gambling can trigger us to creat aggressive deliberation that may lead on addiction. Unfortunately, lack of wisdom and incontinence behavior will also lead to act unusual and enxiety. But in order to evade from addiction, we have to be cautious and take control ourselves for the possible consequences.

Take control ourself is first thing that we must have before do gambling for sure. Because it can make us avoid addicted to anything, not only gambling but other bad things. But that is little hard to do for some people.

You are right winning is what really lead to addition to gambling, because once you won a big amount in gambling the quest to win more will lead to you sticking to the games with the aim to win more and getting too greedy is another cause of addition. No one really play gambling games for fun any more but is all about the money which is very addicting.

I think the adiction comes with the winning sensation, the true gambling adicts is because they have win big a couple of times and they want to feel that again, so, that's what makes people stop until their wallets hit zero.

True and ego makes them reach that point. Its like every individual who can hardly accept defeat so it is also the same with gambling. They cannot accept the fact that they lost so they try even more harder to prove to themselves that they can also win until they lose all they have in their pocket.

Despite the fact that "Greed" is human nature but it is the only word which is enough to explain gambling addiction.
I agree that only a single win can lead to addiction if a person can't control his/her emotions.

Greed and addiction is not only in loss, but it is in winning too. Gambling addiction is of two types.

First, you are winning in gambling and you keep on playing with hope to win more and you lose everything in greed.

Secondly you lose in gambling and you still invest more money to play more and in the end lose more. So this can also be called addiction.

yes mostly the greed will make the person to think not more about the future and then was lot more money and get addicted into it if they are getting lost again and again.

No if you want to gamble again and again it does not mean you will lose it can be good as well, but you will be able to get profit as much as time you spend in gambling it gives you benefit you can earn from it you can learn from it, so those people who are thinking about lose only will never be able to achieve goal of life, don’t be worry gambling addiction is not bad if you are earning.

There are many factors but I will only state 2 of them.

1. Curiosity - I think many people are getting curious about gambling. How do gamblers feel when they win and lose? What are they doing so that they can win etc. This makes the person curious and will try to gamble.

2. Lack of self control - This is somewhat related to the first. Since the person is curious, he will try to gamble. Now he is winning and winning and become more greedy. He can't control himself until the time has come that he is out of money. He can't control himself because of his greediness and since he is greedy, he will do anything just to get money for gambling. Now he can be addicted in gambling because he is doing what he can do just to gamble.

Curiosity is the spark that begins this whole addiction process and unfortunately most people fall in this trap. We could compare this with people that start smoking out of curiosity. They smoke one cigarette to see how it tastes, then another one just for fun and after that it starts getting into their head so they continue doing it for a long time. The other reason why people continue gambling is because of their lack of money. When you don't have enough money and don't know how to earn enough you will look for ways to make the process easier and faster and that's what gambling is promoted for, a quick solution to make more money easier.
