This post is not intended to criticize gamblers, i am just curious what drives a gambler to really gamble even when the odds are against him or even reach the point where he'd rather lose everything he has than to stop doing his gambling addiction. I said the following because i have seen friends and some relatives on my mother's side literally lose everything they have like family, wealth etc. and only a few managed to stand up again. And some of that few still gamble to this day. And an uncle was found dead from a gunshot wound, whoever did it was unknown. But rumors say that it is one of all the guys he owed large money and never payed. While a friend(not close, just a neighbor) died from suicide because his wife left him along with his 14y.o daughter and 3y.o son. Now, I ask this because i dont get it. I just don't. I mean is it even worth it? If you ask me, i don't know. That is why i am asking. And the reason why i did it here is because we all know i can't ask a gambler with this kind of questions face to face because doing that would mean mean that I wanna start a fight. I mean that might how a gambler reacts to this kind of question. Please share your thoughts on this.
First of all, you are on the right place on asking this kind of question since there are lots of people here tends to be a gambler or even experienced those things. Its sad to hear that those dying incidents and suicidal things do happen to them because they cant really sustain the stress and one have been gunshot because of big debt.Gambling is not bad as long you do know how to control yourself and you do know your limitations regarding on the funds you are holding.Just stick to one rule, only play on the amount you can afford to lose and never ever goes beyond that.

The idea of taking home the jackpot is very attractive to me. I just give it a try and I don't gamble like an addicted casino player. It's a type of game where you bet a small amount and you could win 10x or 50x by picking a color. I really like those types of games because it gets me excited.
It's attractive but the sad reality of it is that it's hard to achieve this type of goal in gambling. Addiction starts there with that "try" I admit that I also think that way before because there's a lot of experience I had in gambling. Those examples from my experiences are really attracting because seeing people hitting jackpot makes you think that it is also possible to happen to you once you gamble and pursue it.
The possibility to win 10x, 50x or even more, which being offered by gambling often tickles the minds of some people to try it out. People wants a lot of money the easy way. And if we think it deeper, such a thing does not exist in this world, and if it exist, it will happen very rare.
And we are fish who bit the bait that is why we've been caught on this addiction, and can't get out of it easily. This prices that we could win that the gambling site saying is just sweet words so that they could easily attract people who will play on their gambling site. The sad story is we've been fooled by this word and just lost most of our money because of trying.

I think gambling is good for you for what I've read.. For me gambling is to make profit but you have to play in a smart way so you'll not lose all your money. It isn't bad to gamble if you know how to control yourself towards money.

That's right. The idea that you could won a jackpot is exciting and entertaining as well. The feeling of being to gain something in a simple way is a nice feeling and if we cannot control this then that's the time that greediness starts that may lead to addiction. I gamble because its fun and even for some moments, I forgot my worries and let my mind be focus on gambling at the moment. Enjoying while winning is a good feeling that's why it's so addictive for some that they always come back even if they are already in losses.

It's a form of relaxation and entertainment for me that is why i do gambling but i know that there are risk of losing money here but if i'm enjoy doing it then it's good to me. I just need to set limitation on how much money i will get into gambling everyday or every time i play.
Why don't you pay an entertainer to entertain you rather than risk it in a gamble because you're loosing money and you're trying to justify it with a flimsy excuse. Why don't you hire musicians or comedians in your house with the money you will loose and then have them entertain you.
the word that its only for enjoyment will be forgotten and it will be replaced of making some easy money if i got this lucky bets, placing our bankroll in such danger and letting us to burned every single centavo that we had from that day.

The main problem in gambling was all about greed, and mostly they doesn't know how to have limits and control their emotions specially when they are chasing big losses. At first it is not that serious until they become addicted, well few of them did, but sometimes it will just lead you to more losses instead of earning. Initially the main purpose of gambling was just to play for fun, but few people took it seriously and want to play it to earn.
Well I play to earn profit because I'm able to predict the outcome of soccer games at an impressive rate and this is due to my knowledge of the game and research over the years. This is why I use my skills to play yo win rather than risking in other gambling games like dice.

I don't actually gamble much, but when I have an extra time to do it, I surely do and I am not doing it for the money because you can not surely sure if your gonna get some earning with it because it is obviously risky, that is why I think you just need to control your gaming bet, or just like me just play if you have extra money you don't surely care about and extra time to gamble.
It is good that you gamble in your leisure time and that is also a limited one. Gambling can actually produce no good results but it can help us having fun at times. I like those people who are pleasure seekers not profit seekers. Also, it is essential to enjoy whatever you are doing.For me, I only gamble when I want to get out of my stressful situation. Once a week I gamble either in traditional casino or online dice sites. But I'm not addicted to it, I just want to like pass my time and get out after a week of stressful job. I just have a budget. If I lose I completely stop and try not to recoup my losses.
For me gambling is a routine business, like eating and sleeping !
I don't even have reasons to explain why I play this game by force I practiced it.

I completely disagree with this. Gambling is not a routine business, in fact it is all a matter of choice, it will become your routine if you are addicted to it and it will become your habit, then that is why I guess. People do this because of the desire to have more money which is pretty ironical I guess in gambling, those only lucky people are the ones who are making a lot of money in gambling.
I think he's formed a habit of routine gambling and it could be due to addiction or something beyond reasoning. The only remedy in this case is to supplant that habit with another and he would be able to completely quit with time.
That is how addicts function, their bodies and brain resist the denial because they think it is must for survival. Addiction and habit are the two sides of the same coin.

There are different types of gamblers and those people that are experiencing bad things on their lives aren't responsible and ready for the consequences. If you are a neutral gamble and you know what are the possibility when you get too addicted in gambling, you are gambling with control. And for those gamblers that lost almost everything, I feel sorry for them.
Those gamblers who can control their emotions while they are into this game are rare and most of them are able to become this much capable after getting experience from this world. They know that gambling is a risky game and it is best to not play it without having any limits.

gambling is a promising main job in addition to real work, if we feel comfortable and can play positively then it should be further developed the potential and quality of self. Initially I gambled for the necessities of life, and even I had a failure, but after that his conviction grew larger as I comforted to read the literacy and experience of many famous gamblers.

I, with the help of gambling, relax. I still lose or not, the main thing is to relax from work. Gambling is very suitable for this.
i think we can have relax while we played gambling especially if we played with our friends because when we are loss or win, our friends will yell or say don't too sadly or anything and it makes us not too sad when we are loss. some people express their feeling freely without any sadness in their face and they has just fun with this.
