You will become addictive once you experienced the so-called "beginner's luck" or early big-win. But then after that, you will try to re-coup what you have lost and ended up an addict.

Not really if you know what you are doing since the beginning and you tried gambling first time with a long term commitment in your mind. So you already have a plan what you will do (I am talking about sports betting) and you will put aside a monthly bankroll and play only with it. If you go out of the borders ,addiction is all you will get and it will bad for your money and health.

That is so silly statement right there, gambling is not a needs that you should consider to put in some amount every month . One thing for sure you are going to lose most of the time so there isnt any need for you to spend a fixed amount every month to throw into one of those gambling sites, even if you win in the end you will lose just alot more

Also read something and watch last night some interesting documentary about addictions on tv i will try to bring some quotes from that.

Quote
Scientists have identified two brain areas that were highly active when gamblers felt the urge to gamble, with the insula and nucleus accumbens areas the same trigger areas for drug addiction cravings and “reward sensations”.It was also found a link with the brain’s frontal lobe, which may help to control impulses with a weaker connection between this region and the nucleus accumbens associated with a more intense urge to gamble.The connections may also be affected by mood — and be further weakened by stress, which may be why gambling addicts relapse during difficult periods in their life.

In this particular research they use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to scan the brains of 19 gambling addicts who were shown images that included a roulette wheel and betting shop. These images triggered high activity and craving in the same part of the brain as alcohol and drug addicts. Also in second part of research when same images shown to non-addiction patients showed no activity in that part of the brain.

to me when people who become disappointed from every side, then they consider gambling one of the shortest way of making money therefore they try again again to make money in a short period of time but for every time the remain disappointed.
Yeah, this is really happening in other people who really wants to get some profit in a very short time, most especially when they badly needed to have money and they are so desperate to win just to make money, some of them are winning but some of them gets another kind of losing money.

Yes very true, a lot of gamblers trying to get as much money in a short time with gambling. Even many who gamble all day from morning till night, put all of their money as bets just to gamble. And those who like it are those who are addicted to gambling. Spend money as bets in a day is a sign that the person has an addiction. Indeed, the appeal of gambling is very large, gambling promise riches, that is why people gamble.

Our chances to win under the situation is very slim, we can only win when we are extremely lucky. I have done this before, I gamble when I was drunk and unfortunately I was busted in less than an our, I realized I was not doing base on game plan anymore and I just follow my emotions whatever it dictates me.

The chances are not slim in fact if you play dice you could set the limit to almost 98 % win chance however you are not going to win everytime especially in long term because there is a house edge in every game, so realizing this people should just go with the flow , it is either you lose or you win big thats it
That's why the chances are slim because we are talking about long term journey, by setting 98% winning percentage every time it does not guarantee an automatic win but I agree we can win most of the time, but doing it all the time still does not give success as if it's successful we are already using that method and we become rich easy in gambling.

That is why its always said that we should never gamble in desperation or when we are drunk. Because whenever we gamble we are chasing money then its impossible to win.

I don't believe that beginners luck happens. When I tried gambling, I have no luck. I do but overall, it's negative profit. I lost my Bitcoins with it. It's sad. It could be more addictive if you always win. In the long run, you will probably lose.
Well we are not the same but in first time i was gamble i experience of big win that honestly can push me to gamble again in next time because i thinking that money is easy in gambling but i experience of loses until i try my luck again and again until i chasing my loses turning into addiction and after that realize that i lose a lot of money in bitcoin.. now i still gamble but i gamble just sometimes and i change my gamble games i swith to sports betting because it is more easy to analyze who will win unlike in other game..

the other reason why is gambling so addicting is people curious about their loss and they think that they have a chance to win the games but they don't.

Why would someone be curious about losing in gambling? it just doesnt make any sense at all. You should do more research before you state this, when someone lose they are not curious but they want to win therefore they keep on trying until they win. Losing the game is bad and it doesnt makes you curious , it makes you poor even when you are a trillionaire

because they only get loss when they gambling and they curious why they can so hard to win the games so they come back to the gambling site and continue playing. and this is what happen to me and maybe in out there, some people have same experience with me.
I guess it happens to every gambler. everyone thought that the defeat in gambling will not bring you back again in gambling. however, most of it is a motivation for a gambler to gamble back involuntarily. The most interesting thing in gambling is that you're trying to put all of your money with the hope to luck. I think it is the most interesting part of gambling.

As quoted people in desperate need of money with hope try to make money through gambling. But this is not successful, only very few wins and most ends in loss. Later once again try to earn the loss by getting debts which is the initiation of ruining his own life. To overcome addiction one needs to get at least few wins often to be satisfied.

Well, I'm pretty sure majority of them are losers, gambling is never a solution when you are in desperate need of money, you will be affected by the situation and you cannot decide the right way for you to win. The basic rule of gambling is never use your emotion in betting as that will show your weaknesses and you have no chance to win a game when the advantage is not on your favor.
