Becouse when you just try it out with small amounts, you see that you can multiple your money in minutes. So you try it in big, then you just want more. You can't stop, you loose. After that, you try to rewin your losses... Smiley
Agree, thats why its addicting because we are eager to get back what we lose and so its hard to control yourself for not playing again. in my case i became addicted because it gave me fun and excitement especially if you experience how to win. but that was before good thing i can control myself now.

Because of the chance of winning we are always thinking that we can always hit it and by that way we are getting addicted with it. Your experience is not new because almost all of us, gamblers are experiencing it that way. And together with the fun and excitement that we can feel when we gamble, there are some profits on the side.

Gambling produce happiness hormones like drugs or sex or sport. But only a small percentage get addicted and this not because of gambling itself, but because of their personality I think (strong / soft).

I don't think that gambling produces only small percentage to make someone addicted with it. Personality is just a second thing of why gambling is addictive.

Gambling is addicting itself and that's because of those hormones that produces it as you had said it, like how drug and sex is addictive.

And also because it give us chance to win some good amount is another factor.

When you win in gambling there is a power feeling, the gambler fell powerful to earn lots of money fast and without effort. Also, during the game the gambler start thinking what he will buy with the money, imagining many wealth wonderful things with the possibility to don't need to work more during the life if the gambler wins a really big amount of money, the biggest prize.

Yes that's what we are feeling when we are experiencing winning. And it makes us more brave enough to keep on gambling again.

Because we know that we can simply win again, but we are not noticing that we are becoming addicted with it.

And most of the time, we just win in the beginning and lose a lot in the long run.

Its addicting when it comes to price and bonus offers of bitcoin gambling sites, because people would be eager to play for lucky bets and then won a certain amount that will encourage them to bet more and more until their profit will lose if time comes they lose in the game. Its not all games in gambling you're lucky at all times so your need to recover what you've lose but its not woth it and you became addicted to gamble more for lucky winnings.

Yeah that is one of why gambling is very addicting. When you got the bonuses that they are promising then that's going to be a boost for you but most of the time those bonuses are hard to get. They do have some hidden terms for it and it is really going to give you some task before you can get it. Although it is one of addicting in gambling but sometimes I'm getting tired with it.

its true but not all gambling site have hidden terms and need us to do some task, and if there is and if the bonuses is big, then i think its worth for us to try to get it. but out of this reason, there is always more reason for other people to become addicting in gambling and we don't know what exactly their reason to come back and playing gambling.

Usually the chance of winning is the real reason why most of the gamblers are making themselves addicted into a game. And once they started to plan out their way in that goal, they are failing in the middle of their plan and lose a lot. So in the long run, most of us try to chase out our losses which is adding to our habit and which is resulting it as an addiction.

Chances to win in gambling only 5O: 5O. And there is always a curiosity to win in every defeat, especially if we are in a state always loses. If you are in a state always lose, we'll find it curious to win the game. we will continue to try to play for a win. And when we win, we will feel happy and want to win again to win again. Then keep playing until addiction.

I don't even think that it is a 50:50 chance of winning. I'm always thinking that chance of winning when it comes to gambling is about 10%-20% that's my assessment. But there are times that because of the thrill that gambling gives to the gamblers we tend to keep on gambling again and again and aims more higher goal with it.
but i think it is different from person to person,and i think if a person is lucky his chances of winning is more that his loosing percentage, therefore luck is too much important in your gambling career.

of course its different because we can not know how luck will work with every person and have our own luck in gambling. i don't think that the chance is 50:50 because in outside, we don't know that maybe there is one or more people that have more than 50:50 chance of winning. i am agree too that luck is the important factor in our gambling games so we really need it to win the games.

I agree, luck is really needed to win in gambling. Most people that win from gambling is based on their luck. Some people don't have a good strategy on the game that they play but still they win some good amounts in gambling rather than those who have many strategies from gambling. We can't really say who would be luck today or tomorrow.

I think it is based on your experience, because it is really based on my experience, when i was new here i did try gambling with my free, small amount bitcoins and it is really fun

You are not really gambling anything at all unless you actually use your own money for that. There is no fun in gambling with the free amount that you get from a site. You play to win some amount not just for the sake of fun, if you wish to just have fun then you should just be spending it on another thig instead of losing it in gambling
Yeah I agree that it is not fun at all if you use the free amount to play. However, it is also a good way to control yourself since you do not use your real amount of money. If a person knows how to feel pleasure to gamble with free bitcoin from faucets, I really really appreciate him. Have you tried to play with the free amount yet? Try it and you will find how hard it can be Smiley

Well said, and i admit it, it was happened to me before, lol  Wink Thats the reason why gambling is so addicting.
Let me continue your word, "... you try to re-win your losses, after you win all your losses then you want to win more, then you lose, after that, you trying to re-win again.." Cheesy

There are two sectors in gambling, skill games and slot games. Skill games yes it's 50 - 50 chance because it purely depends on luck. And here if you go for a long run it is 0% chance of winning. Skill games we can not say exactly how much because it depends on your skill set. If you are a pro, you can make it up to 70 - 80. For me i don't know the percentage but it's profitable method.
LOL, such a nonsense! Huh Skill games is higher than 50:50, otherwise you would not win longtherm and no, skill games do not purely depend on luck Roll Eyes, luck games purely depend on luck!
It's very clear he has not really experience playing gambling all his life. He cannot even understand what is the big difference between a skilled based games and a luck based games. Skilled based games can be played relying on your luck but don't expect you will last in the game, your luck is not consistent compared to your skills, therefore we should develop our skills to increase our chances of winning.

Yes we are there that gambling is important whenever we are going to gamble. But there is no assurance that we can know that we are lucky enough for a single day. Because there are times that we will win let's say in dice game for 2-4 times and that's going to make us comfortable to be lucky. But upon rolling the next dice since you are comfortable, you did yolo but suddenly lose.

But if you are lucky enough then you have a chance of earning some good amount. And that is what a gambler keeps on gambling again and again when he tries to win some amount whether it is big or small.

It actually shows that there are some idiots in gambling. When someone play with few cents and want to win millions of dollars then that is madness. Some people actually realize this and when they play with millions of dollar and got few thousands from gambling, they call it enough and move out of it
It's an opposite mentality for the poor and rich gamblers, most of us are poor and we can only afford to spend a little portion of our income and yet we are aiming for a bigger return, and it constitutes addiction as it will created desperation still doing it with less chances to win.
I think that it doesnt really matter. You just wanna win.

This thought is not enough to make you addicted but this can make you obsessed with the idea.  Obsession is having the thought planted in your mind and willing to achieved by gambling everyday and fear of losing the chance if you missed out on gambling.  The worst, once obsessed, there is a greater chance you getting addicted since you are more exposed to the gambling games.

You're actually right; it's one of the easiest ways to make money and also the easiest way to lose money. Whatever your strategy you have, you might have the chance of losing it always even if it's only in a short amount of time.

You are wrong, every strategy will always lose in the end , not that it has the "chance" of losing .It is definitely not the easiest way to get money because not everyone is lucky enough to win, most people just lose whatever amount they put inside a site. In the end, people will start to notice that you cant really be rich by gambling, atleast not for everyone

You are wrong as well. What if I did use some strategy and then I stopped right when I reached positive profit? How's that for your logic? Not all strategy will end in loss of all your money, it would depend on when did you stop betting. Maybe in the long run, your logic is correct. But not everyone would gamble and would only stop when he has nothing to gamble. Most of them are like what you're describing, though.

Thats stupid logic you use there and it is very silly, if this is so then just go for 10 btc wager and use 98 % chance to win, you are getting 0.02 btc in return and at current exchange rate it is a good amount and even better you just do that for 5 times and you will get 0.1 btc. Not huge however it is enough for your daily needs for sure

Risking 10BTC just to get 0.2BTC when you're aware that the house edge is much more than it actually is. No wonder why you're so well-versed about "stupid logics". Roll Eyes

Why not just use the 0.2BTC of 10BTC daily instead of risking the whole 10BTC? There's no point risking it unless you know that you'll be able to win until you reach more than 10BTC profit. You might even lose at first bet.
