Emotion or lack of control of it . They just keeping playing at expensed of their financial health & well being
This can be a good reason, because controlling yourself to stop playing is very hard and if you have weak emotion you will lose money and that makes a lot of gambler broke for a moment.

I think its more on the money side that triggers the gambler to be addict on that, though its a nature in every human to be addict on something. Its just like people who are addict on Dota, ML, other online games or in any KPOP group, the only difference is the money involve. Winning creates more excitement and that is why gambler continue to play after winning good money.
They actually did a interesting study on this a few years ago.
You are more likely to get addicted to gambling when you realize a big win early in your gambling days. This is what generally gives you false hope and you always think you can win again and you become addicted.
Most think that getting addicted is when you get a big win, however its not always the case. Some with big wins usually suffered many loses in their early gambling days that they just take their winnings and quit. However for those that were winners early in their career they usually bet more later on to "break-even" and suffer huge losses which leads to addiction.

Winning even once triggers addiction because people are greedy in nature. There are just people who can control themselves and there are not.
I agree
Winning is so good, even very small amounts. And then we think"ah, I should have put more money to make more".
And we just go searching for that "Winning felling" again and again .. dangerous

I was a chain smoker when I used to live alone. All day I used to work on my laptop and used to smoke one after another rollies. I did not have much social life.People need entertainment. They need something to keep themselves busy. When they don't have enough then they find something and smoking, gambling are few of these bad habits.
Think about this:
- You don't need to talk to anyone when you smoke
- You don't need to talk to anyone when you are gambling
You are on your own.
So, my conclusion is that winning is not just the cause, people needs to socialise, people get into gambling because they don't have anything else to entertain them.
I think much reason could trigger someone to become a gambling addiction and in my opinion, besides the emotion, winning can also attract them to get deeper in a gambling game. You know that if someone wins money, the greediness will come and says to him to keep playing but suddenly, he loses the money. The greediness will say ah, it's okay to lose money this time because we still have more chance to win, so he continues to play, and yes, he wins the game again and again, and he quit because he can control himself. But if he keeps coming to the gambling place in every day and plays the same game, soon or later he cannot control himself, and it's beginning of the gambling addiction will start and the rest of the story, we already know.
"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.
Some people can't control themselves. Here in the world need to have a self discipline to avoid addiction, Some people gambling they treat as source of income but not advisable because gambling is not a job that's the reason become gambler addicted.
Emotion or lack of control of it . They just keeping playing at expensed of their financial health & well being
Exactly, most of the gamblers I know can't control their emotions. I see them still going even though they have lost so much money and thinking that they can recoup everything and then go back to normal life. But it's not the case and they turn out to be a compulsive gambler even if they know the negative consequences it can bring not just for themselves but for their love ones as well, they continue to gamble until it's too late.

Maybe the winnings that people have experienced is not enough to cover what they have lost in the past. It may not always be the case but that's just what they feel, that's what I think. Addicted people tend to forget what they need to do and keeps on insisting themselves that they could still do it, no matter the consequences. They cannot control themselves because they are already addicted, countermeasures with that would really be hard for those kinds of people. What they need is people backing them up and helping them recover.
For the win rate, it just depends on the chance that you are playing. For example, a 95% win rate would give more strong win rates compared to 70%. I guess having a few bets would suffice the normal/average person, whether the person wins or not.
