I actually find it quite therapeutic, although some will say this is addiction lol.  The lure of winning big is something that attracts me a lot but i'm also aware of the fact that once i place a bet, it become a binary outcome, either a win or loss.  Although i also feel that it is a risk worth taking sometimes, given that i could place a bet with a considerably small amount against potentially massive returns.  Ultimately though, gambling plays with greed in us i think lol, always wanting more.

That is what we called addiction. You just keep on gambling because you are addicted to play. Like any other vices, the excitement of doing that kind is in your system already. In gambling, even win or lose it will satisfy you because that is what makes you happy.

There are a lot of reasons on why we gamble, some of it has similarities with others. It's sensual pleasure for a person who is an addict to gambling, It's contagious if not treated along with that are the factors that are triggering one person to gamble. Normally the most generic answer is to earn instant money, it is the sole purpose of why people gamble. The idea of doubling your money makes people engage in gambling without considering the effects of it. For some, it became a "Hobby" then after a while it became an addiction. In which some people tend to notice it after a month or a year. Meanwhile, there are people gamble for fun and entertainment. These type people mostly are the one who plays just as a way of releasing their stress, or just to be free for a while.
Also I want to add something to your statement i.e. it becomes a pleasure for them to gamble also it changes into their other life activities which are important for their living alive like eating, sleeping etc. Yeah! It’s hundred percent true that it becomes their involuntary action in life over which they had no control further. This is the golden reason due to which mostly people stick to gambling, just to make instant money.

I have never gambled for entertainment and most of the reason why people gamble is because they think it's an easy way to make money but without a doubt they are so wrong about, gambling only enriches a few people and mostly the casino owners themselves.We gamble because we want easy money.

Yes, i gamble because i want to be a part of 'the few' that made it through gambling that you are talking about. It is absurd to gamble  for entertainment but atleast it makes  some sense to keep trying your luck for the booty but with strategy and discipline.
when you have a strong will to keep chasing that small chance to become a lucky guy in gambling without get lured to become an addict you might will be fine , but when your daily needs involve in gambling you won't survive for long .

sooner or later you will found yourself get broke and have a messed up life more than what you can imagined.

Hello everyone, im a Gambler since 2011 when my father wants me to go with him to the live casino, like i was so amazed and so much fun there.
My father loves to play baccarat game and slots, but me as a first timer before, i played slots too...
So right now, im 31 years of age and have my own family, i still do gambling even on gambling sites now...
at that moment i realize that, why do we need to gamble? its like a win or loss game, a risky game, put your own money and when you bust it all, there will be some regrets...
So guys, please answer this, Why do we need to gamble?
Gamble is not only for the money talks you may win or lose but you cant explain your feeling and the excitement while your playing and also you gain money and friends.

It is entertainment and it is addictive, having the opportunity to win a big chunk of cash for a relatively small investment while having fun will make you feel like a winner therefore making you feel better about yourself. Then the brain will want more of this every single time, on the other hand when you lose you want to recover your loses so the wheel keeps rollibng

For me gamble should only for the sake of entertainment therefore we will go their to have fun, to enjoy and to relieve stress from our everyday works but we should have our limits too that we should always to live a life of moderation and avoid gambling to become a vice that we might forget our family, friends, works and god.

That's really sad because you don't have to pay to be entertained and so i don't agree with your style anyway, you can get entertained by indulging in recreational activities or having a nice time with friends and family without necessarily spending.
Yeah you're right, but we have nothing to about that mate because that might be the destiny he choose of his life and I think that is his passion as well and just put in his mind that it will make him entertained instead hoping a quick profit of it.

I usually gamble because of the thrill of winning, while playing it is enjoyable and very exciting. I think this is this the reason why we gamble. It is risky and we all know that but the chance to hit a jackpot is all worth it.



But the chance is too small to count on it. I rarely feel that I can hit the jackpot. Mostly I gamble out of boredom and when I have something interesting to do, like lately for example, I have almost no time for it and I gamble less than once per week.

Some of my friends and relatives were thinking that I'm addicted gambler seeing how much I play poker online but now, more than two months already, they see that they were wrong.

We need gambling to fill the void and when the void is filled by something else, we don't need to gamble that much.
I think this is something that happens very frequently sometime you have more time to gamble and people begin to worry that maybe something is wrong with you but then suddenly you find yourself very busy and then months pass without gambling at all and then people realize you did not had a problem at all.

The thrive to gamble is a feeling that addicted people constantly have and think of in every minute of their days . They just wanna satisfy that neediness and that desire with any money they can put their hands on . And whenever they practice gambling a feeling of satisfaction gets to them as if they were high on some drugs , thus experiencing a lot of joy .

But recently science have proved that the feeling that the gambler has whenever he is waiting to know the outcome of it's bet is pretty similar to the feeling he gets whenever he wins , and both are similar and occurs on the same part of the brain that is responsible of the enjoyment and happiness feeling .

So even if a gambler keeps loosing he won't quit gambling because wanting to know whether if he won or not and experiencing those moments of hope and getting the urge to gamble are much similar to winning , so no matter the result a gambler addict will always try to gamble more no matter how he looses , because after all winning is not everything !

I completely agree with you on the fact that not just winning but even losing can equally drag one person into continuous betting and gambling because of the thrill that he gets waiting for the result.

Dopamine is a feel good hormone while adrenaline is the rush hormone and these two complement each other, even when the gambler have not actually won, the wait for the result of his gamble brings in a drive of adrenaline which creates a very similar, if not same, condition to winning, i.e. intense thrill and enjoyment. This feeling of rush and kick us quite addictive and leads to strong urge of getting into the same mood. And as a result causes significant amount of addiction towards whatever triggered the hormones, in this case gambling.

I think is probably because we are addicts and we love to do it, even if we lose because it doesnt matter if its about of winning or losing at all.

I think is just because we'r addicts to it, that's what makes us gamblers and that's why we look to keep gambling even more after bust.

We have different reasons but the most common is to win a big amount money. Its all about satisfying ourselves into something big returns. Gamble is to risk losing of something valuable. Or to win or loss money or possesion.  The bet is so risky but will possibly change your life. Human as we are, were so curious into anything. And we always believe in luck.

You need to gamble because it has become an habit for you and you have nice memories in that casino and since it has been part of your life for so long now it is difficult for you to stop gambling but I think it is something you should stop immediately so you can improve your finances.
In short, there is gambling addiction already. I really do think that the "need" word is to strong to integrate with gambling. From the start, we know that there is no need for us to go and play gambling games. Playing gambling games is our choice so if the time comes when we can't control ourselves and emotions from playing gambling then there is a problem already. Gambling is bad already and getting addicted to it is worse, try not to end up in this situation since it will not be healthy for you and your family as well.
I suppose you are right, there seems to be an addiction to gambling already established which makes even more critical to stop it already, this is especially true when the behavior has a long history because the longer you are addicted to something the more difficult is to leave it.
