Gambling is something that appeals to most of us , kinda look good food appeals to most of us. Sometimes it is so addictive we don't want to stop gambling. Like food if you addicted you will get fat so you stop both these addictions the same way. It is in the mind. It will take some time but you can get over it. You must know when you have had enough and never have too much if a good thing.


I am not thinking about gambling addiction as the same as the food addiction, foods really look tempting, but in gambling, I am looking at it as not appealing and I think we are the one forcing ourselves in it, that is why we become addicted to it. Addiction on good food could give you good benefits and could give you full stomach, but good gambling site, could give you headache and empty your wallet, so they are different.  Smiley
Yes, both addiction is different, If you are addicted any food you will not eat daily suppose if you eat also after few days you only stop to eat that same food. But gambling is not like once you addicted and you taste easy money. You will never stop this until you lose all your money. If you feel like to stop also it's not possible.

I know that drugs and sex are really not good at all especially when you are doing sex with different people, I just said earlier that, "addicted in a game" I said "Games" only and not some other kind of any addiction.
As for everything there is a proper way, as for sex you have to legalize your sex through marriage similarly you have to play gambling in a proper way and only then you will not feel the need to stop it and will even not consider it as addiction, for this purpose you have to set a gambling strategy which will protect you from losing money.
people think that if gambling for fun only it will never turn you to an addicton.

but i think it is all wrong , gambling itself contain something addictive , too fun to leave , too easy to make money , so no matter how rare you gamble and what for you gambling , it is just the matter of time to see people get addicted to gamble .

Many are thinking about that and saying to themselves that they won't be addicted but in the end they are falling into addiction because they are not able to recover their winnings and they are losing too much of their money. And that is now they are aiming, to recover their loses but instead of that single aim, they are becoming more aggressive and wants to recover everything that is making them addicted.
people always lured to something called like "too good to be true" , gambling gives you a profit that really good in easy way and short time (they think) but actually it is like a trap , the only one that will have profit are casino owner .

and players will just suffering lost and addicted this is the most case happened.

Gambling is very deceiving, it will allow us to win at the beginning with some good profit. But in the end, we will just lose eventually and that will make us to be in rage mode to recover our losses. And that is leading us into becoming more addicted in gambling and no matter how it goes we want to recover it.
you are right. maybe victory is a major factor in gambling addiction. Well, if we win a game of chance, then, it would be very nice. in fact, you're going to try it, and it will make you so addicted to gambling, and it can make you lose all the money you have, if you continue to play without thinking about the risks.

I agree. Gambling has some bad effects just like food. Gamblers must know how to accept these bad effects in order to avoid being addicted to it. If you gambling too much, you will lose your money in only a second. However, most of us are too greedy to stop gambling. Gambling promises to give a high profit which seduces all people here. You must learn and know how to stop gambling when you have had enough of it

Gambling is addicting because it is a way for you to earn money without any skills required. Unlike other methods of earning money, you need to have qualification and knowledge, gambling dont. However, they dont want to know that gambling also make you lose instead of win.
That is one reason but I think people love the risk too and they like to take a risk and come on top of it, for example in trading you can lose your money too but with the right knowledge you can make money out of it and when you win you feel a rush of satisfaction.
No, the people like easy money, without doing any hard work they need money, In this world, i think the Gambling is the only method we can make money without doing any work. That is why people are addicted to this gambling. And one more thing the Bitcoin price, this is also one of the reasons people are get addicting to gambling. 
I never denied that was one of the reason and maybe even the biggest reason I just stated the are more reasons than just pure greed, some people like the risk associated with it, that is why there are extreme sports.

I have never seen anyone addicted to losing, you only do that because you believe you will get to recoup your losses so you keep playing. The part that is addictive to gambling is the winning part because its just sweet to win and when that happens, the believe that it will continue like that comes and once in a while when losses comes in, then the cycle continues all over again.
EXACTLY !! I cannot agree more with this, I would just like to add some things more. Its sometimes win that makes do gambling more and more because suppose you make 100 bets and you loose them all 100 then you will stop for sure.
but if you make 100 bets and win 100 then you will surely gamble more and then get more hopeful and less capable of handling loss.

People knew that they are going to lose but they still go and gamble. I have a mom who like to go to casino to gamble for days. Her groups of friends also knew that it is not easy to win against the house edge but they still go and gamble for years. It is because the fun is in the gambling itself and not the outcome.

Lol. of course they are not addicted in lossing. Why the hell they would get addicted in lossing. They are addicted because they keep on playing wether they win or loss.
They are addicted to gamble which is due to loosing that is what he meant, I believe. Its like we loose money initial amount in gambling and then we try to chase that amount and hence increase the overall loss every day and every hour.
So while its not easy to do, if even we are gambling then we MUST forget what happened yesterday with our gambling and whats our stats.

It is because the part of your brain associated with winning in gambling are your dopamine receptors. They are responsible for pleasure, and also addiction.
It is really associataed with winning thinking that in gambling we can win we always think that positive enough when we are gambling our money. Being responsible in our money we keep value them and wanting to grow that fast in to fast way also the pleasure of beeing greedy make us lose and cumback with another deposited money that's why we are getting Addictive.
Great explanation, but bottom line we should not spend the money that is not intended in gambling, our hard earned money is for our family and our savings, the moment we spend it in gambling it will be the start of the future bigger problem and such addicted will ruin our life.
Well, what if I earn whole day and night and I earn it for gambling rather than my family ? So brother while most of us will prefer to spend our money in day to day activities but there are people like me who sometimes give higher preferences to gambling rather than family needs.

I am not saying we should gamble all we have, but if someone want to gamble, let them do so because maybe they enjoy doing so.
My advice, enjoy gambling as long as has not blocked because not everyone in every country can enjoy this gambling. associated with addiction, it is a matter of each person playing gambling, before they follow this game for sure they already know the risks of what they will get if you follow this gambling.
I recommend that gambling is for happy only, if our purpose to get rich, please don't play gambling, gambling never make we rich and will make we poor. If fun everything is okay win or loss not problem.

Not only gambling but sex, drinking, even eating and pretty much everything we do in our lives are somehow addictions because after all we are the creatures of habits and we need to repeat things in order to give meaning to our lives, but sometimes some of these habits become harmful and even destroy our lives.
Gambling just like drugs produces chemical compound in our brain which results in a good feeling and that is why is addictive.
WHAt is the connect of sex and drinking in gambling? were talkinh ablut gambling here not on what we are doing in life or what are the commonly acivity that people really addicted, Gambling can really make us addicted to it the trigger to earn the ego not to lose feeling lucky always when winning.

That is a complete misunderstanding about gambling. Gambling shouldn't be called as an earning money method because they are made to give us just an entertainment and to keep things more exciting kept an option open for gamblers to win big money if they are lucky. But if gambler tries to chase the win then they may lose a lot of money in gambling instead making money.
Neither it is an money making method neither its a fun activity. Actually consider gambling like you spend money on picnic and other things, now if you are spending too much in picnics and enjoying would you call yourself addicted ? Well I wont. It is just that we need to control it and change the lifestyle a bit.
