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.

Well, addiction is addition as most people say but you are right and I too believe that any addiction that just effects our mind and physically does not deteriorate our body then it can be carried in life while any addiction like sex, smoking or etc I think cannot be even compared with gambling.
Gambling is a hobby actually and you can quit it any day with just some money lost in past, that's it !

Indeed many false hope of gambling, we must make wise gambling as entertainment for pleasure, don't use too big a gamble for our money, so when win or lose we remain pleased

I think that's too hard to do for a typical gambler, we cannot deny to ourselves that when we lose we will feel something not good and will rage which will result to chasing bets which is the recipe for disaster. That can be done but it needs a lot of practice as not everyone has the ability to control their emotion in gambling.

You can go for a deposit of $10 and still have fun with it. For example, on dice games you can start with 1 satoshi which is nothing. Just don't deposit more than $10 or $5, you can have as much fun as you can have with $500 but if you lose you won't really care much about that amount. Or you can go for faucet betting, which is non-risky.

Well a small amount won't hurt in just playing that, but a person is addicted it is another story cause an addicted person doesn't have control over his decision clouded because of addiction, but if a person is not addicted then this suggestion are quite good for just having fun with the game and using faucets to get some BTC in playing gambling has been quite popular for me and I am already interested in it myself.

and that's why its called addiction because its losing control between the normal way and its go beyond the limitation with this particular advise it can be use short time but for sure gambling addict will try more and more because they don't have any satisfaction.

Yup! you are right and there are no certain satisfaction over gambling when it come to someone addicted to it and I think that he will keep on betting again and again until that unsatisfactory subsides but that is not gonna work much for him, he can not be satisfied by just two or more winnings he would go on and on with it.

yeah i think that is correct. as long as gamblers get that pleasant feeling of winning, even if they've already lost a big amount, they will continue to gamble. the excitement and anticipation also for me adds to that sensation gamblers feel when they place a bet. it doesn't matter if they lose, being able to place a bet and hoping for the best would be fulfilling already

That is the sad truth about gambling, they think they continue on being lucky by taking a win everyday but the sad truth is there are not much winning in it and if they are thinking that even if they are losing so much they are thinking that they can win eventually with it by winning just one time they can get a high rate income from that, and many are thinking this way.

Gambling is addicting because money is involved with it. And it can give us more than we have if we win from it, but it is difficult to do. Many people gets addicted to gambling because they want to have more money. Their money is not enough for them or they are not contented with it. They think gambling will give what they want.

But Gambling is very risky, we can get what we want if we win, what if we don't win? Do you think gambling can still give what we wanted? I don't think so. It is really difficult to figure out what will happen next and we cannot predict what will be the result of our every game.

If you don't win then you lose your money, it must be understood by every gambler that you might win or lose, it's the only outcome in gambling. But this addicted gamblers will surely have more loses in the end. It's better to be addicted in games than in gambling as gambling addiction is too expensive that you might lose your life.

Really True, if you are just addicted in a game without any risk kind of game then I think that is okay to become addicted unlike gambling games which is very risky and addicted at the same time it can really lose your mind if you are out of control playing gambling games.

Referring for the money to lose then addiction in games is better than gambling, but we have to understand that any addiction is not good. You can be addicted to drugs, sex, or anything and it does not result to a positive position. Your addiction to games could lose your heath.

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.

I think there is a desire to get rich quick and gambling can do that. If you are making money, then you want to keep making it. If youlose some money, you wat to get it back. It's so easy to make bets ad the results are quick.

according to my views yes gambling can do that but only if you are the owner of the gambling site or casino otherwise gambling is not a place for the players to become rich it is a place of fun and in that the players will win and lose at the same time and so in that condition we cannot expect a high flow of income to a player pocket.

What's real here is most of the gamblers(players) loses against the house or the gambling sites, that's the main reason why we are addictive since when we lose, we tend to experiment and look for a better way to win. Sadly, though we made so much effort, the outcomes does not justify still on our effort.

It can be addictive because of its usual way of giving us satisfaction for the entertainment that we are looking for. But that is the main reason why gambling is addictive because many of us thinks that we can have a good future with it and get to earn some decent profit and what is happening is we are failing in the end.

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 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.

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 the feeling of gambling, the feeling of risking some of your possession. This kind of feeling is usually found in extreme sports but that requires certain skills and not suitable for anyone. However, gambling is easy to pick up.

the only reason which turn people addicted of gambling is the expectation of becoming rich in a very very short period of time and without any hard work. although they realize that the risk of losing money is more than making money in gambling but still continue gambling in this hope that may be next time they become lucky and make good money.

but for this you must be a lucky person, if you are not lucky then you cannot make money in gambling and our all efforts will be nothing, although in some types of gambling your skill and experience work there but still you need your luck more important in all types of gambling.

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.

I agree winning and earning is two different thing. But I believe that gambling is one way for other to earn money by winning games in poker and blackjack.

Anyway, gambling being entertaining and the added benefit of winning a stake just add to the excitement that make our brain produce more hormones that later on is one factor that the person became addicted to the game.

No one is addicted in losing but we are addicted because of losing, that's more appropriate explanation on that. We keep coming back because we cannot forget our loses, and we hope that by betting always we can take it back and maybe win some more.

Only a very rich person that doesn't have something to do with all of his riches are going to get addicted with losing.

But of course, all of us doesn't even want to lose, that's why gambling is being create to make the people lose and get their capital as they play.

It is just a business and advantage to the house when their gamblers are in rage emotion to recover their losses and that's making them addicted.

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.

i dont know how to start again it took a months before i earned it and it suddenly disappear because of my greediness in money through gambling thats why my parents talked to me about my addiction in gambling . but still gambling is life Grin

That's too bad friend, I guess you just have to listen to your parents. It would not do good to you and your future, you just admitted you are addicted, better get out early for you not to aggravate the addiction.
