Topic: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? - page 8. (Read 2923 times)

I agree with you , I think that one of the games that can bring the most addiction are the most popular, among the most popular because there are the slots, that basically things are like that, I say that before the most popular game was poker, for What before there were many PVP tournaments and that was really entertaining and had a lot of Acceptance, in addition there were more options to win, the slots are exciting, they make anyone like to interact and above all win, and what is most striking is that a game like lsots where with little money you can win a lot, because it is something that is much more engaging.

This is a fucking advantage of what the slots have, only because by winning more some players increase the bets, with the desire to have a good Stroke of luck to win big, this can basically be limited to something we know as a dangerous attraction , and that same thing can lead us to think that we are falling into what a casino is looking for, attraction, betting , and that we forget a little about what they call, "house advantage."

This is the type of thing that we are always going to consider, in the same way I consider that in slots as in any game one must play with great restraint, and always considering that things are better when we control our money.

Of course all types of gambling have elements that can make anyone addicted, and if there were no such elements there would be no more gamblers, and maybe they would come just to try, but in fact the majority of gamblers always persist and even act excessively to pursue something that looks as tempting as victory. Which means that the opportunity to win is what makes gamblers always feel addicted to continuing to play, sometimes even losing track of time.

Yes, I agree with you that of the many types of gambling, I would also say that slot type gambling is the one that has a fairly high level of addiction because the first type of gambling is very easy to reach and play, which means it makes it easier for all gamblers who want to play without must have any experience, and another thing that makes the possibility of addiction high is because there are quite large wins such as the maximum wins provided in pragmatic play games, there are several of my friends who also managed to get it but to get it you have to really be in it. good luck situation, many people lose large amounts of money without realizing it due to their dominating emotions, and yes, it is clear that however it is recommended to be a responsible gambler because with this you will not experience a significant amount of loss.

There is indeed prevalence of gambling addiction among casino gamblers compared to sports bettors. But Casino games are often more accessible and heavily marketed compared to sports betting. Casinos, both physical and online, invest significant resources in advertising and promotions to attract players. This increased exposure can contribute to higher rates of addiction among casino gamblers simply because they are more likely to encounter opportunities to gamble.

Many casino games are designed with features that encourage repetitive play and can be highly addictive. These design elements can contribute to the development of addictive behaviors among casino gamblers. The atmosphere in casinos can create a social environment that fosters gambling behavior. People may feel more pressure to keep playing when surrounded by others who are doing the same that leads to excessive gambling and potential addiction. Casino games may offer the potential for larger winnings, but they also carry higher financial risks. The thrill of chasing big payouts can be enticing, but it can also lead to significant losses, which can exacerbate addictive tendencies. Certain types of gambling may be more inherently addictive due to their design or financial stakes, but people susceptibility to addiction can be influenced by factors such as mental health issues, and life circumstances.

Without any doubt the most popular type that has more gambling addicts is sport betting, it’s a very common and known as the first and easiest game to play. It was developed over the years from taking bets manually and simple ways to participate, until nowadays where sport betting with sportsbooks has more features and different odds on every game, this development happened over the years because people were interested and gambled money on such type of gambling which makes it have more addicts than any other game due to it popularity.

Many gambling addictions appeared with time and development, the last exciting thing known these days are slots, it has many options and several games, seeing many gamblers go crazy about it and spend millions for just to have and helpfully get huge profits, I don’t think there will be any official statistics or research about this case yet!

Your view is correct that all types of gambling games have the potential to make a gambler addicted, but usually games that provide fast money such as slots or dice are types of gambling games that can make someone an addict more quickly and precisely.  For this reason, all gamblers need to anticipate that their gambling activities do not cause them to become gambling addicts, as usual, being a responsible gambler is highly recommended.

Another thing that adds to and contributes to slot production among addicts is the fact that every minute there is a game to play; it does not take time for a new game to start just after the last one ends, and the more one watches the games of previous participants and sees the little amount they used to win a jackpot, the more your urge to try again will increase, and that's how you will be spending more money than you planned to wager at that point in time.
 
Unless one is disciplined enough, it's really hard for you to have funds loaded in your casino account, and you will be watching slot games pass you by without being tempted to try your luck to see if that day will be your lucky day.

I don't know if there is an accurate measure to actually access the number of persons addicted most to one particular type of gambling as I believe the different types of gambling all have their fair rate of gambler addicts but if we are to narrow it down then I think football will be the highest as it's the most popular and even the most watched sports so it's definitely will have more addicts.

The system becomes very broad from day one because there are presence of other sectors that are also useful to the gamblers. We can never become independent over night, rather we should start planning for significant projects. Whenever I'm in the space, I always ensure to make proper runs in the system thereby giving more room for making enormous profits. The addicted gamblers will record heavy losses and they probably liquidate their accounts. Gambling are mainly for those set of people that have what it takes to accept both good and poor results.

Different gambling types would really be having that different gambling markets on which we know that to those someone who do go often on casino places are the ones considered to be an above average gamblers.
I could say that it isnt really that someone whom you do see into those local places placing up some peanut bets or playing lotteries. Just like on what you have said that there's no such precise tally
or survey about on how many is really that addicted into particular types of gambling or betting but one things for sure on here is that this gambling industry keeps on growing on which it would really be
a solid thing that do tells that demand is really that high.

This turns out to be a multi billion industry already on which do shows that there are really tons of people who are really that fond off with dealing with gambling games.
Different sets of people who do have different sets of interest and different capacities on how they do spend on.

Gambling, in all its forms, from roulette wheels to Candy Crush, taps into a primal human desire: the thrill of the chase.  The possibility of a big win, the rush of excitement, the escape from reality –  these are all powerful motivators.  But for some, this flirtation with chance can morph into a full-blown addiction.

Many who struggle with gambling addiction misunderstand randomness.  They chase elusive "winning streaks" or believe in lucky charms, ignoring the cold, hard truth: every bet is independent.  This false sense of control fuels the fire of addiction, leading to chasing losses and digging a deeper financial hole.

It's not just about the money.  Gambling can provide a temporary escape from stress, boredom, or even deeper emotional issues.  The bright lights, the constant action, the feeling of "being in the zone" – these can be highly addictive, offering a seductive alternative to dealing with life's challenges head-on.

While casinos and sports betting are classic culprits, the rise of mobile gaming presents a new challenge.  Free-to-play games with in-app purchases can be just as addictive, offering a seemingly endless chase for virtual rewards.  The line between harmless fun and problematic behavior can easily blur, especially for vulnerable individuals.

Specifically, there is no data available to point out which gambling games are people usually addicted to. But based on my observation in my place, I'd seen them addicted to the lottery. Despite their harsh living condition, they were still able to spare some money into this and even asked why. Their answers will make you think deeply and feel their sentiment.

Maybe it was a good decision or wrong but these people got into buying tickets in the hope that one day they could win the jackpot price and make their life totally changed. They are poor and the only solution that appears in their mind is to gamble because even working their whole life, their salary can't make a change in their living, they remain poor until they die.

Gambling addiction is everywhere so we can't exactly tell which type of gambling game has the most number of addicts. And besides, we don't know the stats of gamblers per game because for one, a gambler can play various games. Casino games or sportsbetting, we have no figures on this. So for me, I can't conclude any on this subject.


That is one factor to consider as well. We can't measure the level of addiction of each gambler. So how can you give numbers per category on this specific study? You need to be clear what level is the gambler is and this is quite subjective.

So, you've been chilling in this forum, right? Notice how most of the talk is about sports betting? That's kinda cool, because unlike slots or poker, you can't exactly bet on every single game happening every hour. There are breaks, which can be a good thing. You don't get sucked into that whole "one more game" loop.

Now, online poker and slots? Those are like the fast-food of gambling. Always there, whenever you have a craving.  And that's where things can get tricky. Poker can trick your brain into thinking you're in control, like you can outsmart the game. Slots? Forget about it.  All those flashy lights and near-misses?  They're like a siren song, luring you in even when you're losing.

Social media doesn't help either.  Everyone's posting their slot jackpots, making it seem like winning big is easy. But for every big winner, there's a whole army of silent losers.  The truth is, gambling should be fun, not a desperate attempt to get rich quick.

I wouldn't want to pick a side here because both the casinos and sports betting are addictive, it now depends on how we can play our way around them. I have seen sports bettors who are so addicted to it, and so are the casino bettors who cannot do anything hobby in a day without betting casinos, so it is like that. The issue is that casino addiction is not always known because people often gamble in privacy since it is not everyone that is privileged to visit sophisticated casinos for their preferred games, so online is the next option. You may not know what they are doing and it will just be like the way they handle their phones privately in which at times they could be playing games and doing some other things that will just be like normal things they do on the phone.

But really, they are gambling and will always love to do it many times a day. One thing that makes casinos so addictive is the ability to wager a small amount of money with a better possibility of winning big. This is not so convenient in sports betting as such because if you use too little money and gamble reasonably, there is no way you can gain a reasonable amount of money.

That's why gambling addiction needs to prevent by having limitations, self-control, responsibility and others. Without having all of those, someone can gets addicted to gambling easily and not taking too long to have that addicted. We can looks around us, especially if our neighborhood have many people who like playing gambling. We can observe all people who playing gambling and see what happens to them one by one and maybe we will see some people are getting addicted to gambling without they realize. Any gambling games can makes them addicted to gambling and doesn't takes too long to addicted if they can't take cares themselves while they playing gambling. We must learn many things that needs to stays away from gambling addiction so we can used gambling as a way to having fun.

I will not disagree with you at this point that games are not the cause or any facts of being more addicted on gambling. But I don't know if it's a fact or not, but most of the gambling addicted person I've seen are addicted to casino games. And those who played mostly sport betting those are not addicted they are as usual normal gamblers. I think the ratio of casino gamblers are have more gambling addicts maybe this cause of that the greedyness because Casino gambling has a chance of winning a larger amount.

Gambling addiction is not game specific, it is an individual challenge we have to deal with in the game we like so much that we go into addiction on it, we have develop interest on something and there's nothing bad in that, we have to know how we can make the balance in-between and allow the pace of satisfaction not to affect the way we are gambling, this also have to go along with our personal way of thinking, behavior and how discipline we are in gambling, knowing what is good for us and what is not and when to gamble or not, the simple conclusion is to be a disciplined gambler, if we are not, we can be addicted to any gambling games.

OP there isn't  problem if this topic has been discussed before, not everyone had to opportunity to participate then but you just gave us another chance at it.

Gambling in general if not controlled would make anyone an addict, and I'm not sure if the type of gambling you engage in matters or would make you more addicted or not, it all boils down to self control.

But I think casino gambling should have a better chance at making you a gambling addict cause you would make friends and if you are a high gambler you might want to keep a big profile for your friends not to think your broke, so I think it becomes a thign of commitment with casino gambling.

Online gambling should be on pair with casinos gambling cause ive seen what this shit has done to people around me, and how hard it is to quite, it so easy you can gamble with smaller amounts and have access to higher rewards, they play on our greed and losing such small amount you would be like what do i have to lose and its easier to get addicted that way.

It's true as you said, addiction doesn't just depend on the type of game. whatever type of game and wherever it is. it is the gambler who is in control of himself. If a gambler can no longer control himself, of course addiction is absolute and cannot be avoided. and when that happens, there will be no time to think about the real world anymore. all that was in his brain was gambling to win.

I don’t think addiction is caused more by games but rather by the player and irrespective of the game, one can be addicted and it all depends on the gambler as there are several addicts in the classes of games you mentioned but for the cause of the thread, I think it will be more of the in house games as personally I’ve seen most persons spending their entire days in a physical shop and as for the online gambling, I think one can easily gamble away all their money at a go which simply means that, the online games has the capacity of draining a player more quicker but the in house game has the potentials of easily turning someone to an addict.
