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
I also agree with you, I think that is the main reason of becoming addicted of gambling, as everyone wants to make good money in a short period of time therefore they always looking for shortcuts and to them gambling is one of the most easiest way of making money in short time.
But the fact is a little different as in gambling you can even lose your own money in a short time.

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

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.

I don't know why but I always get a feeling to gamble, after then losing my money, I quit for some time and then continue, but I know I will lose my btc Sad

Why is it so addictive?
If you are always feeling to gamble then try to playe with small amount of money then atleast try to bet's all until you are going to weary loosing money is going to weary and you will not addictive with that quitting in gambling is willingness and its choice Smiley

if you only want to have fun, i think you don't need to make a deposit, just use the faucet from the site and play with it, like what i am do in dice gambling. i get few satoshi in that site, i use it for playing dice, no matter i win or loss, i still have my bitcoin safe because i am not make any deposit. if the free satoshi is loss, then i can request another satoshi from the site so i can continue to play in a whole day but i am not playing for daily, i only come into the site only when i need to make fun.

The first thing is that you can make some good money and the other fact is that its very enjoying to do for a couple hours a days so..
The money is the main reason as the reward is really promising  in gambling and because of that we are blinded by our chances to win. It's hard but we still do it, maybe our greediness is just the main reason why we are addicted and none other.

If we treat it for fun for sure we will not be addicted.
this greediness really make us always hungry to fulfill our lust to play over and over again, its either win or lose we just wanted to satisfied it and when we almost win greediness will enter and instead of quitting we desire to win more ended up losing everything.
We who are not satisfied with our current life will always be greedy to achieve bigger money, in gambling it's simple to try our luck but hard to win but look ourselves now, we are still in gambling hoping to win big amount of money and hoping one day we will be millionaire.

This kind of incident is describe under the partial reinforcement reason why people get addicted to gambling.  We tend to be satisfied, after several losses, on the winning even though it does not win back all the money we lost.  This event is enough to make people feel high of excitement and joy.    This also give a false hope and thinking that one day we will win and become a millionaire if we keep on playing gambling games.  This false hope is enough to make us return to gambling again and again.

I don't think that we are "blinded" by our chances to win. The casinos that operate under the provably fair system usually are able to provide proof that they are being fair and also state the odds before you even bet. So "blinded" by our chances to win, I don't think it is the reason why gambling is addicting.

Just like all forms of entertainment, gambling is preferred over work. Who would work when you are offered an alternative with the same amount of potential reward, which is more fun and takes less time? Wink

Maybe because youre bored or you dont hae anything else you can do about it it sucks because i lost almost 100 btc now
wow, fantastic.
You Lost a lot of BTC. It can be a benchmark for people who want to conduct gambling. high risk should be minimized in this game, because if we lose as much as it will make the addiction and create the motivation to get back is the greater loss.

Because life is unfair? That could maybe the reason why some people resort to gambling and hope to win money, actually I pity these kind of people because they are just a victim of injustice in this world and they are not given equal opportunity that might give them good income.

For me it's only addicting when I win
The opposite is right, it usually only addicts you when you lose.
Your only desire after that is to return the money you just lost before, everybody says to themself "I will just return the money I lost and I will quit from gambling forever".
If they return it successfully, then they will keep betting until they get into serious problems, and if they didn't cover the loses, then they will do the same(keep betting and betting).

Gambling is dangerous at either ways, if you are winning or losing cause you will always lose at the long run

Yeah it will be addicting regardless if you win or lose.. but most gamblers are addictive in gambling because they want to chase their loses. And it's good for you if you always win but still remember that it's not forever, you just have to learn to control yourself when you gamble.


Of course that's the best feeling if we always win as we gamble but in reality talk, no person is able to win on his daily basis as he gamble.

And that's what a gambler thinks that he is going to be lucky for each day and he will miss the chance of it if he will not gamble.

They just don't understand that most of us will be just losing in the end if we will not be wise every time we have a chance of winning.
