Gambling is very addictive because of the fact that its an easy thing to do and you like to do it because you can win money and try it over and over because of it.
same concept that it is the easy way to earn or to lose money gambling has been so popular especially to those in poor places since they wanted to have easy earnings they intended to play gambling instead of looking for real job or use their money as a investment to gain profits.

I can agree with that because here in my place there is a nearby compound where the people who lives are very poor community. And most of them are just hoping to win daily in gambling in able to give their children food to eat. It is simply addicting for the chance of winning that is allowing its gambler to win some good amount.

That's the problem if we are too greedy to make money in gambling, if we rely our future that we can make fortune in gambling then probably we will be addicted because we are going to do it over and over again experimenting method hoping it will work. But the fact would always prevail, we cannot do it because we do not have the edge, it's either we lose our interest in gambling early or we will be bankrupt due to negligence.

People who usually gamble alot don't know what they are doing and are out of control.
At this point they should seek medical counselling  because they obviously have a mental condition if they can not stop gambling and are definitely addicted to it.
I agree with you . when the gambler just think to always win, they were wrong. because it is the beginning of their addiction. it should be removed and they are exposed to a little bit of pressure mentally strong.

I dont think that gambler dont just think of win to be addicted. A lot of people addicted is because they like to gamble. They already knew that they are not going to win but they still pour more and more money in is due to the fact that they like to involve in gambling.
I think that as losses start climbing and they begin to realize the amount of money they have lost the addicted see no way out but to keep gambling because they have lost so much money that the only way they see they could get that money back is through gambling.
yeah that's true , something fun could lead you to an addiction
just like an addiction to the drugs , people feel having fun consume drugs and then get addicted
so does in gambling , when you start loving to gamble and it's the start of your addiction
sooner or later you cannot avoid that you cannot stop gambling as you love it very much and addicted already.
agree with you. Excessive pleasure can make you fall into a harmful addiction. a lot of people out there who are always having fun, it was very nice, but sometimes, the fun they do exceed the limit of its income, thus making the imbalance of income and expenditure. it could lead to the economic crisis of these people, and it is common in the gambler who can not control pleasure in him
so you need to have a limit in gambling otherwise you will get addicted
nothing good to be an addicted gambler , it's destructive
those people who get addicted mostly get financial problem too
you better to quit forever if you have no limit.

With gambling setting of limitations is a must to avoid unwanted losses and experience financial failures. If one have a limit on spending for specific time period, sure he wont get addicted whether he wins or losses continuously.

I find it addicting coz there's always the element of winning some money and if you are watching a game and gambling then your interest in that particular game increases and makes any game with money on it exciting.
I accept the fact that we will be watching the game if you are gambling in that particular match but first and foremost you have to have interest in the game inorder to follow a particular team or sport Grin the element of winning money is the most addicting factor for everyone gambling.

its addicting because of the prize pool and the intense feeling when playing gambling . we all know that playing gambling eating our greediness thats why we're losing. if we can mark up on our mind that gambling is just a game maybe we can prevent being addicted on gambling . im accepting the fact that im a certified gambler and ive also played a lot of gambling games. and theres alot of winning and also losing phases. but its okay as long as i can make a profit from it.

You are right. It is the entertainment that makes gambling addicting plus the add on bonuse of winning that attracts people to go back to gambling casino again and again.  Aside from that, player can get along with others player adding more attraction to the site.
Oh well thinking that you are always going to be lucky might be also a reason why gambling is so addicting when people happens to keep winning and enjoying denying the fact that they already been engaged and got addicted with the game.

Yes the confidence of being lucky and always a winner is what is bringing us up into being addicted in gambling.

And of course when we experience win, then that will give us more confidence that we are going to win again and again but in the end, we fail.

Because of it, we are aiming more to win some good profit and we do it again and again.
And sometimes because of that confidence we are not being realistic anymore, we do not understand that gambling is base on chances and we cannot be lucky all the time. Being realistic will ensure us a good way to manage our bankroll in gambling and we do not result to chasing bets or doing stupid things that will just make us regret in the end.

it's actually fine to think that you are lucky but always remember that winning is not always happening in gambling there are also times that we are not lucky and we lose and that situation should be fully accepted by us, if we can do that we can enjoy gambling and we will not be addicted.

When people lost the gamble, then he will be more eager to return his money. It's what makes people curious, curiosity that they will continue to try to addict.
But if a person lose easily with no time then I don't think that they will think that they are able to recover their lost money but they will be sure that they are unable to earn/win at gambling and will not come again and those people who will win and lose at the same time then they will have a doubt in their minds that they have the ability to win so they will not give up and will try to cope their money.

Gambling is very addictive because of 5 scientific (psychological) reasons:

  • Gamblers think; the longer they play, the more outcome they would gain.
  • Seeing/Watching very few cases like lottery winners gives them a belief that they have a great chance to win like those rare success cases/stories.
  • What is called gambler's fallacy; which gamblers keep investing in a game, even after suffering chain of losses because they believe they are due for a win.
  • When gamblers start winning, they believe that they have beaten the odds and can influence the results. What is called Illusion of Control.
  • Losing motivates gamblers more than winning meaning; a gambler would be more agonized/sad about losing an amount of money than being happy about winning that same amount of money.

Feeling of wanting to always gamble it appear as possible once you've won a lot of bitcoin on the gambling site. from where you will continue to gamble because it remembered the time get a lot of bitcoin. each of you losing it only took a few hours or days to come back again gamble

That is making the gamblers fool easily for letting them win for sometime but in the end they will just lose. And the feeling of winning is what the gamblers keep on coming back.

And it is making them addicted with gambling and it is the hardest part of the life of them because they can't get out of it easily.
The hope of getting money, make people addicted, as people do imagine gambling as a mint of generating free money, even though they lost money in gambling again and again, but still they are not ready to accept the fact and stop gambling anymore, they like to continue to recover their money and make further more in gambling.

The simple reason must be the human nature. All human usually temp to all attractive things. The most entertaining thing which also provide the promise of getting rich in quick period must attract any common man which may end in addiction too.
yes i agree with you. human are really greedy by nature, they want everything more and more and in no time. as gambling is looking one of the most attractive way of making money therefore they always like to play gambling. but they do not care about the risk involve in gambling.
yepp indeed as the human nature people never feel enough ,
but i think people become addicted more than just human nature reason ,
there a lot of people think gambling as their hobby they like it ,
they like to gamble too much and causing people get addicted.

The curiosity phase of a gambler has already passed. People always go back to the casino in hopes that they would finally be able to recover their past losses. It's only normal for people to think of how much they've lost already and then aim to get all of it back. They just need that one lucky day to do so, that's what's on their mind. Sadly, most of them come home with just even more losses to recover for the next day.
