Topic: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? - page 21. (Read 2923 times)

I don't have a certain statistic, but I believe that casino games produce the most addicts as it is fast-paced, and can win or drain your money a lot faster compared to sports betting. Also, casino games seem to be a lot more 'engaging' than sports betting in general, so people tend to get hyped and invested with them more. Not that sports betting is interesting, but with the way it works and the time needed to get one bet completed, it's not really something that develops a lot of addicts.

Also, casinos have become a lot more accessible these days, so almost anyone can play on the go at the comfort of their homes or literally anywhere.

If we actually assess what is happening in my country, slots are a very popular type of gambling and have been played by many people since the Covid outbreak. There have been many cases of closing slot gambling and arresting bookies, this happened because in my country, Indonesia, gambling is illegal and prohibited by the government.

One on one physical gambling system has more potentials possessions to gambling addictions because the gamblers could always reach out to each other at anytime, the only terms and conditions they abides is their one on ones agreement as the laws of the game in that meantime. So they are personally decides the nature of laws surrounding their betting boards and not like the accredited and approved registered gambling companies which the gamblers has not right to decide about the Terms and the conditions of the gambling would be so it is about you take it that way or you leave the board.
Also, it doesn't consider the restrictions of the underaged people who are likely to be hearteningly tendered not enough to take control of their emotions.

On one on one game, no one have the time to advice the other and everyone in the board becomes a watchlist to you especially when you are loosing because you begin to develop individual hatreds amongst each other.
Most likely, gambling addition is most on the one on one gambling system in the sense they if the gamblers runs out of funds for bets, they are likely to gamble on loan(that is to pay in advance and also, they are liable to stake with valuable properties in a cheap rate.
Due to this, once they runs out of funds, they tends to look for how they can just get reached to what ever valuable just to have a stake and gamble.

Well, I did ask the question that you've got in Google and I got the results that it's electronic kind but it seems that you haven't mentioned it so I assume you don't consider it or are making your own choices as to which one has the most gambling addicts. I can agree with the result that I've seen on the web because electronic or online casinos are more accessible to people compared to the physical ones which is kind of an hassle because you've got to go there physically and spend some time and effort to get there. In conclusion to this question, I think that it's the convenience that's being the factor as to which one's got more people getting addicted so if electronic gambling isn't the one that you're looking for then the one that's most convenient of the 3 options that you've given is the likely one to have more gambling addicts.

Here's the link to the top search of that question.

Sure, traditional casinos are designed to be all flashy, entertaining and to keep people playing for as long as possible, but online gambling is even worse, but the virtue of people having unrestricted access 24/7 even when they're lying in their beds.
You could lose a lot of money in one session in a physical casino, but you won't be going there every day and it's easier to keep track of your losses, whereas online gambling is more about losing smaller amounts but much more often, so people might not even realise how much money they are losing there.

online gambling is the most addictive thing for gamblers. that's because there are so many promotions that direct our brains to a very large win if we play on the site. and it is true that it is proven even though at first we were presented with a fairly large win. that's what causes a huge addiction.
Even so, finally the victory was only temporary because of human nature itself which always wants more and finally only met defeat.

Everything is about self-control, including in gambling. So any form, whether you sit on the table and play with other players, or play slot games and dice, you will be addicted if you lost control of yourself.

So doesn't matter about the numbers or statistics, you can go to land-based and say that there are more men than women. But how about online though? we don't see their faces only their user name and to some extend how big they are as a bettor.

That's right, most online gambling games such as slots make people quickly addicted and this is real. Because basically humans are not free from greed, are full of curiosity and also like everything that is instantaneous like slot games, a sensational win is actually the beginning of destruction.
Apart from being easy to play, its features can also hypnotize players to continue playing until the money runs out. And in my area there are lots of cases of slot addicts who have debts everywhere and are slowly losing what they have, they can even commit crimes just to get money to play slots, some even commit suicide. And it is the stories of these addicts who give a negative value to gambling and also make gambling prohibited, even though in fact they are the ones who are guilty because they played without awareness which made them lose control.

Sadly this virtual game is actually the most addictive game I have seen, you will see many people facing the monitor and wagering. You might find it stupid but I think that’s where  they make quick money from. In the space of five minutes this games are over, if it is the physical game it will take a lot of time and some aren’t after that.

OP I will say the most addictive game is that played online. You easily wager whenever you’re want to play, compare to other house game that you will have to travel Down to the place before anything

Regardless of what type in there with the choices that you've mentioned, as long as it is gambling and it is too much then that makes someone lose his control.

Anything that's enjoyable and can make someone go that much will definitely have a potential to him addicted into it. Majority if not all of the gambling activities and games are addicted when you are not noticing it.

That's the same to be honest with online gambling. We just can't see everyone's faces getting disappointed when we're losing and happy faces when we're winning.

Well then, IMO it's online casino gambling.

It's easy for a person to get addicted to online or real-life casinos - the reasons might majorly be the varieties of games in this casinos.. I find it hard to believe that peeps are addicted to Virtual games - why? Cus why should you? Imagine wagering thousands and thousands and nothing shows up, and you keep wagering? What's the point of speculating when you don't even know the capabilities of each team, club or villain? So the striving and everything just to get back what you've lost already could trigger an addiction faster than anything else... I dunno if you get my point?

I don't even consider the other form as a solid gambling... Since it's between folks, it remains a joke.

We really don't know that numbers though, but your observation is right, there are a lot of gambling addicts, whether in online and offline or land based casinos. When I do go on traditional based casinos, I will see some new faces, but majority are old ones, meaning they have been gambling there for whatever months or years already. And then when you go and bet online, same username as well and maybe you might have been talking to them as well.

So it's very different, but the effects are the same for this addicts, they will frequent gambling shops, traditional based casino as they are more comfortable. And then we have the new set of online gamblers as well.

To me, there is no need selecting, one is not more addictive than the other, it is just depending on the gamblers and the one they like. If any gambler claims that one is more addictive than the other one, I will only believe them when it is that they have played all kinds, had good experience while observing and then discovered the level of addiction they all can give. If the gambler choosing one over the other has not really played any of the games, then their option is untrusted.

I would have to guess that online and offline casino gambling (namely, slots) would have to have the highest concentration of both losers and total addicts. These games provide the worst odds, they are made to be visually appealing and full of promise of the "jackpot" or a high win. Slots are even hypnotic in a way, I am sure a those in countries with casinos have seen people mindlessly pressing the button before.

Next after casino gambling, I would guess it would be sports betting. People love sports, and gamblers like the odds that come with sports, horse and animal racing (sounds bad when it's said as 'animal racing', eh?

Gambling addiction is something that some gamblers allow to happen to them once they lose self-control over their gambling lifestyle. It could be that the gambler never intended to get addicted but was unaware of it, and depending on how they place their mind on gambling, they can get addicted no matter what type of gambling it is.

Gambling is just what it is; the more you play, the more you feel you want to keep playing so that you can win more, recover your losses, or beat your competitor.

So, it takes one's determination, self-control, and discipline for them not to get addicted to gambling because every type of gambling has an addictive spirit.

Online Casino gambling i should say. Why? Here's the ff. reason;

1. Instant results
2. Instant deposit/withdrawal
3. X100 x1000 x10000 kind of hits
4. Wide variety of games

Honestly, there's no way on knowing about on how many literally considering that addiction could hit up whether you are playing casino games or playing with those one on one gambling.
The key on here is that on how you do spend up your money and this is something that would really be that you would consider yourself to be addicted or not.
It would really just that vary or would really be that basing up into that behavior of yours.

We do know that addiction doesnt really come just only on gambling but also on other things as well on which it is really just that right
that you should really know on how to set your limits on whatever things that you are dealing with.

You have said one of the games that have more addicted people because it has various leagues running from January to December non stop. So many youths are now carried away with sportbet and when you listen to their discussion they will always be talking about their bets. They even go as far as moving about with their slip to make sure that they can observe it whenever they want.

People that don't have anything doing, will put all their hope on sportbet as you will see them always inside a bet shop and they are betting on all the games for that day in different hours. U have a friend that might not have enough money to eat good meal but he doesn't miss his bets daily. All these set of gamblers are not gambling for fun but for profit and that us why you see then always looking for money to place their bet.

We may not have the data for this but for sure, every game have their own addicted players staying and wasting their money. You can be addict in most of the games and maybe slots machine are more prone to this because its easy to play and we know that addicted gamblers always depend on their luck. I personally know someone who got addicted in slots machine, now he’s on a recovery period and the whole community know his story, I just hope that we continue to help addicted players and don’t judge them easily.

In my country sports betting has ruined the lives of a lot of young people. Last week, a businessman committed suicide because he lost millions to sport betting particularly football. Fantasy football which is also the most addictive or the game with the highest number of gambling addicts in my country. It has ruined and destroyed lives. summary the most addictive type of completely differs from one region or country to another I have already said that sports betting he's the most participative gambling we have

Gambling is gambling regardless of what type people are into. Becoming addicted to gambling has one denominator and that is to chase those wins. Sports betting, slot games, roulette, card games, physical gambling, and any form of gambling, since these activities can give gamblers decent money in return, that's where it becomes addictive. However, instead of winning, losing always happens and these gamblers don't realize how much they are losing now just to chase that win.

The continuous attempt to chase that win is now the start of becoming addictive to gambling.
