Gambling is addictive because everyone thinks that it is easy and free money witha small risky. However, it is not zhe case here. Gambling has big risks, and you can not win if you gamble even after you win. You will end up throwing away all your money because you will think that it is possible to win again- but it is not very common to win in streaks.
if at the beginning when he joined the gambling get a win, it's just a false victory, because with the win that will keep you constantly follow the gambling and the victory will not recur. with that, then the loss is what you will experience at any time following the gambling.

Big problem having that kind of thinking, you are entering in the wrong road and making the wrong journey. True, that we can make money in gambling but to think it's easy? it's the opposite. LOL!

Take it from me, I have the experience for a long time, and not I am still consistent - LOSER!

Gambling is addicting because:

If you win, you'll think you can make more because luck is on your side. You might play more and expose yourself to the house edge.
If you lose, you'll think that you win it back because luck will now be on your side after making you lose 20 games in a row.


Regardless if you win or lose, you'll always be addicted to gambling to some extent.

Gambling is so addicting because when people have won one time then they think that luck is always going to be with them and they play further and more.
When you have tasted a win wit gambling then you are going to want more and more.
I don't think a winning could make people addicted, the only thing could make people addicted to gambling is a fun way to double your money with less effort if you compare it to real work that require hard work and muscle.
yes your emotion can make you addicted in gambling, it is your own personality and don't blame anybody except to yourself. Because once you cannot stop playing from betting in gambling that is actually an addiction. And it is really hard to cure. I guess we need the help of a psychiatrist. Because they know what to do for us to quit in gambling.

I think its because you can easily doubling your money on gambling but the risk is you also can easily lose your money on gambling. I think gambling is makes more addicting when you win much money on gambling and it's make you want gambling more.
which makes gambling so addictive is not only when we win the advantage, but if we lose any money we would gamble again to regain the lost.
Yeah I agree with you whatever results you get on gambling than likely you would go back to gamble again. I do not know what magic is used by the gambling site for players to keep play gambling. but if you gamble you definitely feel very enjoy and exciting right ?

It is not the magic itself man, we are the only making ourselves addicted to gambling and that is for one reason which is "greed", with that we never get contented if we lose or win.

Here are my speculations why gambling is really so addicting:
1. Entertainment / joy when you are gambling your money.
2. Greediness
3. You want to return the lose you have made.

Add some if you think there are.

Yeah for point 2 and 3 are make any sense but for point 1 that entertain yourselves when you spend on your money like nothing without hoping to return back? Will that OK for everyone? Especially are you feeling some joyous moment when you lose your money that instant? Doesnt make any sense though
It should be summarize into 2 only, Entertainment and Greediness are the main reasons, if you are greedy you will not be able to stop even if you will or lose big so the outcome would always be lose on your part.
Too bad most people are being greed rather than entertain in gambling. Well, because that's how it should really is, that's why they call it gambling because they need money in fast way making them greedy in it.
yeah, greediness is not avoidable once in gambling. All of us wants to win when it comes in gambling. But gambling is really just for entertainment and if most people do this just to gain profit lot of people will become addicted in gambling and that is too bad.

Entertainment at first, the fun of doubling your money in an instant then in the long run, it will become greed on winning or addiction to a certain level that cannot be stopped.

because you can earn and loss profit at short period of time
not only that. however, gambling was consumed us. time becomes useless because we do gambling.

If you think gambling is just wasting your time means that you do not know how to manage your time, nothing else. So you need to learn how to manage your time on gambling, this is one of the most important parts on how to control yourself on gambling.


Yeah, start managing your time by not gambling. Gambling takes too much time from a person and time is his most valuable asset. So, do not waste you time on gambling because it does not benefit you anything except for a few money here and there. There are things which you can spend your time better like sports or learning trading or enhancing you skills. Those things can be more profitable than gambling.

Imagine having this feeling and that feeling is so good but you only get it every once in a while. You would want to repeat that again and again. You want every second of your life to feel that feeling. Our brain does that when we win in gambling. When you win money in gambling, you'll feel that amazing thing that you can actually double your money in just seconds. You then eventually consider that feeling as a necessity.

For me, whenever I deposited, it worked this way both when I lost and when I won. Because when you lose you want to get the red bets back to green, you want profit and not loss. And from "I want X profit" you'll reach the point where you'll say "I want my money back". If you are lucky to get your money back, you'll want profit again. And you'll lose in the long run.

Gambling is so addicted because of the fact that its enjoying, it already has been said many times but its the truth.
Gambling is fun and if you are playing you want to do it more and more.

Yeah, it is fun and way to get some money by chance so people are addicted to gambling, the fun in gambling and the money in their make gambling more attracted for the users and they then do not leave to gamble and make it their continuous routine.

The fun is a major thing, but i believe the urge to get free money is the biggest problem for addictive gamblers.
For some reason they want/ feel it's normal.
It's normal. It is called gambling because people want the urge to earn, there's no sysmptom of addiction in that. Addiction will come once you want all your earnings to be gambled to recover what you lose.
But after wanting to recovered what you lose, you just actually lose again until nothing left in your pocket. So, be careful of what you wish for, because not all the time you can recovered of what you are loosing. For me, I think it is much better to stop than to lose a lot of money/bitcoin.
Addiction is really dangerous thing, you must control yourself and gamble in a controlled environment. the want to recover your losses never goes away, just deposit like once, if you lose that deposit don't deposit again.

That is newbie gamblers' psychology. They mostly believe that they can recover what they have lost so that they keep playing and playing even though their money continues to disappear. And even if they can manage to return their first balance, they will be too greedy to stop making a bet or playing a games after all

It's the lure of what you can gain. Not having to work hard makes it even more attractive. We want instant satisfaction that we get while gambling that makes us feel good inside and want to carry on winning to feel that way again.
Well, also think that not all the time you will win the game and not all the time you will feel happy in gambling, we all know that when we lose we really feel bad. So dont think that you can always enjoy in gambling but it is also depend of what is your purpose why you need to gamble. If your purpose is to just have fun then win or lose you will enjoy it but if your purpose is to gain profit I don't think you will enjoy your game.

Because with gambling you can win so much money, with gambling you can rich , dont need hardwork just sit and play just let your lucky play and you will get big income.

Well, you also need to tell the negative one. Like you can also easily lose your money and also gambling makes you become greedy if you can't control yourself.

yeah I think losing was most of the time happens than winning in gambling. But if the luck is yours then you are lucky enough to always win in gambling. But yeah, Not all the time luck is always yours so you need also to control yourself when doing this kind of game.
It's the idea of making money easily so it is attracting us. Who doesn't love to have money. We crave to have money to fulfill our materialistic needs. Gambling is an easy option to get rich. You might not know if you'll get lucky but For sure most of the people is gonna lose. It's the hope of instant money that keeps driving us to gamble even if we know the odds of winning.

As a matter of fact, all of us really want money and if we receive money in an instant, we feel an exotic fun  Grin
But also know our limitations in gambling because we don't all have the amount that we wanted.
We need to become wise when playing gambling so that we cannot lose the amount that we can't afford to lose.
That's the bad thing, whenever others feel the happiness of getting a profit. They don't have the plan to quit anymore because they think that luck is always behind them until the streak lose happen and they say that they can recover what they loss until all their money is gone. That's how regret will follow.
almost all of the gamblers experience this kind of feeling. The happiness after winning the game. Then you don't want to quit because you want to earn more but after losing many times you still don't want to stop because you want to recover for what you've lose until you're money had all gone. And that's really a bad thing doing a gambling.

really? do they cheat? or they are just being so lucky? I think they know how to control the game, or they have the strategy, I think they are playing in gambling for years and that's the reason why they know how to handle the game and always win.
I don't think gamblers are vulnerable to cheat. Most of them have to be very lucky to become rich. The experienced gamblers might have learned something from their experience. I watched a clip once that said experienced gamblers who are good in maths are having capability to win always. But stil I have hard to believe. The ones who is always making money is the gambling house.
then, we must know how to make also a gambling house, so that we can also make money with it.  Grin
hehe, I guess some of gamblers are just very lucky when playing gambling.
What you've watched a clip I think that is also true there are some people that are really really good in playing gambling.

Sometimes people still gambling not only for easy money, cause if the reason is only for easy money people who try gambling will know how is hard to win in gambling, another reason and most reason for people still gambling is cause gambling fun activities, even you get lose and make you stress but thats just for a while after that you will start to gambling again

If people are getting stressed after losing money means they are not gambling for fun or entertainment. Because if you play for fun then people will not be stressed after losing money in gambling. If people are coming again after the stress means they want to recover back their losses, so they will, again and again, try their luck.

If people are getting stressed after losing money, i think there is some problem with their emotion.  At first they known that gambling will probably cost them to lose money.  They are very aware of it, but instead they got easily frustrated.  I would suggest if you are one of this, don't ever try to gamble because it may lead to gambling problem and may affect those who are around you.
exactly if you can't take your loses and if you cant control your self never ever play gamble it will wreck your life and it will not bring any good to you for those who find gambling as a sort of enjoyment i believe they know how to control their emotions and they can stop their self if its needed, so before playing make sure that you are equipped of presence of minds know when to stop when its needed to stop.

Even though you will remind those addicted gamblers a million times if they already lose a lot of bitcoins. It won't help them.

Because they have only one goal in their life and that is just to recover their losses. Even you will explain them that it will just pull them into losing more bitcoins.

Still they will stand into their own understanding that they need to recover it.

I think the way that they don't respond to your suggestions is because they are really addicted to gambling and their mind is clouded by the many loses they have receive and the many bitcoin they waste with it and time wasted, and people that are addicted to gambling they are not satisfied by their small winnings and betting has been part of their life that is why it is very hard to suggest something to them they wouldn't respond to you at all!

That's true.. these addicted to gambling are already deeply involved and loses a lot of money and they're chasing their loses thinking that it would return to them instantly.. and they really don't care anymore for what over people say and don't take advise from someone who cares for them.. its just that they really want to refund their lost money in gambling.
