Anything that allows you to win money easy way you will try even just one time, the human does like challenge and rewards, and if you mix them you will get the result, the potencial earnings anyone can get at gambling make us believe we will win those someday.
What you said is true, I do earn money by working and it seems that no challenge at all, when you are just doing the same thing again and again and you are getting paid for it with the same amount seems no challenge. Hence, we think of getting into risky venture hoping that we can make bigger money in an easy way.
well that's a good way to put it. the fact that there is no guaranteed result with the wagers provide a sense of excitement and thrill. i think that's what makes gambling click with a lot of people. it's not about the winning nor the losing, it's about the feeling when you gamble, those butterflies in your stomach when you're anticipating the results

That is the result of greediness if you are not satisfied what you had or what you earn you are trying to chase your self to gamble and trying to make a good profit while you are just playing.. but it can be risk and result to lose and get nothing..
And regret in the end.. greediness is one of the reason why we are losing a lot in gambling. so better to be wise and choose to work hard than to gamble what you earn..

Gambling is addicting because there are people who win it. Lottery is a form of gambling. My uncle wasaddicted to it before. He was addicted because he see a lot of people who really win every day. Imagine having millions of money by simply betting on your favorite numbers? The play it so easy but to have the result to be in your favor is gambling itself. You are not gambling your money but also gambling your faith that one day you can win something. We feel envy to those who are lucky and we never stop believing we will be on their shoes one day.
Don't worry your uncle will not lose his house for betting the lottery, I have not seen any gambler who got broke of betting lottery. Lottery is like a complete entertainment and since it's hard to win, we need real luck to hit a big jackpot win.

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?

Gambling is not addictive at all. Winning part of gambling is.  No one likes losing. Most actually hates it. So cant be really addictive with losing. But winning is addictive just simple because it is fun.
I agree. It defends on your self control. winning big is not addictive but its more being a wise and smart playing gambling. once you win control your feelings. be contented to what you win. and quit. 

Correct. If you can't control yourself when gambling - whether you are winning or losing, I highly recommend that you don't gamble at once! Why? Because that is how exactly people lose in gambling when their emotion is on top on their gambling sessions. This is really bad because when you are too emotional, you tend to do decisions that are not reasonable like betting allin with all of your hard earned money.

I think it is just common for people to involve their emotion when they gambling I think even if a person can control it the inner emotion might reflect on them, and I think other people are using a method to see their opponent emotions in a bet on a poker match this is highly use in that kind of gambling, well I can not totally say that it is not OK show your emotions when having a bet on gambling but this can be certain use against you!

Well emotions are really part of the game of gambling. Usually, it gets people's minds clouded and they end up losing everything. The key is, I think, is to know when to leave the table. Know when you lost enough or earned.

Well decision making really is the key when betting and emotion really is part of the gambling and strategic purpose for some players and now I think that there are so many ways in dealing with gambling, and I think you can do it if you are really not addicted to it cause if you are, your mind would be clouded not by your emotions but the very urge your addiction pursue! 

That's a good point. Addiction is also one of the factors that affect why alot of people lose money in gambling. The urge is indeed strong in some that they do not know right from wrong. Gambling should be played as a profession or only for fun. It's should not be to satisfy one's addiction.

Indeed people's feelings towards gambling are so strong that they do not realized that they are losing so much money on gambling but I am not suggesting that you should play gambling for fun or make it as your profession cause it is still OK to work without the risk in losing so much money, and because gambling is like that you should just play it in moderation and has a limit of your own!

This is the best answer why gambling is very addicting especially for those certified gamblers that can't live if they won't gamble for a day.

And their hope for getting good amount of profit as they gamble daily and thinking that it won't be recovered by the house makes it addicting.

But those people are very wrong with it, gambling is simply addicting because of this.

addiction is not only when you try to recover your losses. but the victory also can make you addicted.
so whatever the results we get, it always makes us addicted. especially if we are someone who always expect money from gambling, addiction was very easy. whereas if you have a job with a higher salary, it can still be controlled for not addicted to gambling and just play gambling for fun usually.

I think gambling is so addicting because of the fact that you get the feeling of excitement every bet you make, people gets more addicted when they are winning lot of money and also gambling is one way to spend time and forget about problems. But the longer you gamble the higher the risk that you can lose your money.
That's normal because when you love something you are likely to get addicted with it. Gambling is very entertaining at the start for gamblers who does not have the ability to control themselves, but in the end they will suffer big loses due to negligence on their part.

It's just advisable to evaluate yourself if you have the capacity to enjoy in a every risky game like gambling. You might lose everything you have..

When you winning , you think that you can do it every day , but when you strarting losing  you trying recover you loss  by depositing more , more  and more, then when you will recovered your loss (if it's will happen) , you continue betting till you will not back to step 2...and then again same...circle

your explanation is the best explanation here for me. I agree with this, when you win your bet, you will want to win it again, then you betting again. And when you loss, you will betting again because you are curious.

and if we do this for so long then we become addicting in gambling and not much that we can win beside for loss that we get. so many people will become loss their money because of addicting in gambling.
To gamble in the long term doesn't mean you will become an addicted gambler.
It is depends on how you treat gambling , for money? High chance you will become addicted indeed.
But if you take it easy and treat gambling as an ordinary hobby to get entertained , everything will just fine if you want to gamble forever!

If many people are addicted for sure many people will lose in gambling. I have not seen any gambler that has been addicted who made a testimony that it's good to be addicted as he can make profits in gambling, all of them share a bad experience.

If gamblers always win, the gambling addiction would not be bad, right? In the long term all players need to lose. We can easily count that or just think logically - House edge must always be> 0%. However illusory desire to win makes players still waiting for jackpot..

that's true , and I guess that is the most common reason why there's so many people getting addicted to gambling . in attempt of going to gambling just to earn or multiply their money but they just end up losing and for the second time they are attempting to recover their they are going back and playing again believing that they can retrieve it but end up losing again until the it became constant .
The desperation of making money is one of the reason why people are in gambling, majority of the small gamblers wishes to have their fortune in gambling and if we based on chances it's almost impossible but they have the high hopes of making that realize.

Winning also could keep you coming back to gambling, when you win the first time, you would think that there is really a future in gambling so you would start to invest in your bankroll and start your journey, if you fail, you would just try again thinking that you are not "lucky" that day and maybe tomorrow you will be... In short, the "euphoria" or the nadir and zenith of your gambling experience is what ties you to it...  Smiley

That's true because many gamblers tend to think that if they will gamble they can win a very big amount of money. But in the end, they are just becoming wrong about it and they are losing very big amount with it. So they don't have choice but they will just aiming to recover their losses and in the long run that makes them addicted.
