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.

you're right last week ive won .3 bitcoins in gambling but yesterday i've lost almost .6 bitcoins and that why i have a heart ache right now.lol

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 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.

Its not that they dont want to know, they know but they simply dont care or their emotions take it out of their systems. They will keep on betting like addicted gamblers and end up becoming beggars.

However I blame the people's greed to make easy money the only reason why gambling makes them addicted.

Honestly for me it is not addicting for me it can drain my wallet fast. and i think we can not consider gambling is source of income it was not true that you can earn money in gambling unless if you are just affiliate and sharing your affiliate and earn percentage of referral lose or win..
If you are just gamble your eanrnings in gambling you can be lose until you will be addicted to change your loses.

probably because of the greed.
in most cases people waste hours in simple games(like dice)... what makes it addicting is the chance of winning.

Yes because of the greed we lose in gambling in most of cases people are always play at greed and they don't want to play safe too greed on wealth are too risk being addicting too is risk because you are going to back and back in gambling to chase.

Gambling is all a trick. People think that because they can make money quick and that because they have a strategy, they will be able to beat the dds and that is just not true. To many people I know have wasted so much in gambling and have nothing to show for their mistakes.

If you can trick on gambling the result maybe lose again no one gan bet gambling websites and off course they are making money for every people who are playing with it if you want really quick money then rob a bank there always a quick money there in gambling there are no smart strategy and you always get lose.

Making profits and aiming for stable income on gambling is not possible as you said we cant trick the gambling house itself in fact they are tricking us to make money and thats the essence of gambling site at all since it was an investments of the owners and no owner would intend to give free money. Strategies are not possible on this kind of field.

Nah it's really posible that aiming for stable income in gambling i am fan of 1 king of gambler that he can really make profit every day 1 bitcoin every day is awesome and the gambling is his house and making profit for living with bitcoin he had strategies every time he making bets

oh wow if this for real that person is really rich by now 1 btc / day how that happen what particular strategy he have from there,
if winning that much i can probably say that i'm willing to an addict, but even not its really addicting especially when you are
playing skills gambling like poker and sports betting using knowledge before placing bets its stuck inside your mind making you
keep thinking if what is the next game plan to use.

Yes if you are in bustabit you can really people there betting 1 bitcoin per round and there are getting much profit than lose this trustegies of pro gambler i applied to my self and idolize them is good also winning in gambling doesn't mean we are going to play daily sometimes we need to stop and comeback when we need money playing this game don't need to be skilled all because there you are already a lucky player.

cuz its 'easy & quick money' where you will nowhere else make such quick legitimately

There is not such a thing as easy and quick money, you need to work hard for it, even those few gamblers that are able to get some profits out of the casino games make great effort to reach such results.

The strategy of all casinos and gambling games to let you win in the beginning. You are going crazy from all that winnings and fast & quick money. That easy make you involved. You start to believe in your luck and think that you have some special skills. But all this is scam. Then you loose over and over again with trying to bring back your luck.

Casinos don't need to fix the games the casino games already offer and advantage to the casino known as the house edge so there is no need to do that, because if a casino was caught cheating their customers, they will stop playing at that casino and the casino will probably go bankrupt.

but in fact just the opposite, which benefits only one party, and until now a casino continues to benefit them and players gambling in the casino always get the loss.

Not all the time gamblers are losing in casino's there are those wise gamblers that once they hitted jackpot that is happening once in the blue moon. Then they are getting to secure that winnings and will stop on that day, take rest and will gamble tomorrow. Because of greediness that's why many are addicted in gambling.

Well, but can you tell me how big the percentage of losers compared to winners in gambling? I believe only few are successful and some of them had only a temporary win as even though they hit jackpot but due to some kind of greediness they still gamble and sadly lose their money.

It is difficult to give an exact number since some people hide their losses to their friends and families but I estimate is something between 90 and 99% of the players are long term losers, so only few gamblers are able to make any money at all.

My own recollection is that most addicts do recognise at least some point in the day, in their lives that its got a bit out of control. In that moment of clarity they can try and halt their addiction, its obviously not all plain sailing and many wake up to the negatives of whatever they are addicted to. Doesnt last, thats why its out of control but I do think most realise briefly they must try and take a different path and hopefully there is help there in order they can build on that and get a leg up out of their cycle of problems they are caught on

Only the ungrateful lose what they dont appreciate, hopefully the seasoned gambler knows many losses and appreciates good luck when it finds him and thats what makes the difference. Know when to take profits and even quit playing for the meanwhile.
If you are addicted, I believe most gambling sites allow for voluntary restrictions or time out periods to help you keep away. Should be under settings

The only problem here is that gambling addict does not recognise or know that they are already addicted. Those time they known that they are addicted is a bit late and are having a hard time to stop themselves to stop gambling thus for the need of an assistant to help them cure their addiction.

Under the situation, they need help. They do not recognize their addiction but we do especially if we are close to them as we care for them, if they are a member of the family then it's our duty to help them so they can be cured and quit gambling for good.

that's right mate helping them with full concerned will make them feel that they can cure this problem, if we tend to help we must extend
our efforts allowing them to be included in many activities that will keep them busy.

If one of our family members do already got hooked into gambling addictions we would surely help them but the thing will stop us that most of them dont tend to tell their problem outside so this means we cant monitor or know it from the start thats why we cant help especially when the family member is too secretive but if hes an open type of person we will surely help him regarding on this problem.

I was hooked in gambling before and eventually got addicted but my wife is very supportive to me so I am success with my treatment as I was able to stop, I just think I need them and they needed me, if I will continue this stupidity, it's not only my life will be ruin but also my wife and my kids.

yes there may be a few number of casino who may be cheating their customers but mostly casino will never like to cheat their customers otherwise they will not return to their casino and their business can be affected.

Those well-reputed sites or casinos knows how then can make a profit without cheating players so they will never do it instead they will market their product to attract more and more players. Because they know if player plays longer time at the end they are the one going to make profit and not the players.
