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.

We do not like losing but gambling gives that to us most of the time. That can only be addicting to gamblers who does not want to accept their loses as they will continue to experiment on the winning method that was never invented. We cannot win against the house for sure.

Some people are excited by just the mere loses and wins. Every person has at least one addiction in life. There are those who are addicted to cigarettes, while others are addicted to beer. Gambling is also another event that has a lot of addicts. Many of them gamble just to have fun and pass time. Others stick to gambling with hope that one day manna will fall from heaven and they will become instant billionaires.

But gambling is a different kind of addiction, it you will rate it in the scale of 1 to 10, it's probably in the 10. With being addicted to cigarettes you will only lose a penny but with gambling addiction you can lose millions and might ruin your life because of such addiction.

When a person loose hopes and become lazy that always look at methods to make money by going out of the way. You will see almost all addicted gamblers started with some limited targeted money to get but when they didn't. They fell into addiction gambling is hope and every time you think I will do better performance this makes it addictive.

Addicted to gambling get started when you :

1. Did not satisfied on what you have achieved and keep playing.
2. Try to chasing the losing money , and forgot already about how dangerous it is.
3. Do gamble even with the amount that you cannot afford to lose.

That is the conclusion why gambling addicted in my point of view.

yeah agree with you all, because of our greedy so gambling make us addicted
fun reason on gambling is not true reason for gambling make us addicted
because gambling is risk activity, but sometimes risk activity is funny thing for some peoples

No one, yes trust me no one in this world has fun when they loose.
So, I don't understand how people have fund gambling, yes though casino games in real life like roulette may bring some fun but online paying dice how gives you fun I don't know really. Maybe it is the addiction that we think we are having fun while we are actually not.

There is some reasons which make gambling so much addictive things the more we get greedy than we lost the control and thinking that kind gambling is very easy way to make money for our needs, so this kind of behavior is really risky and that is why we get addicted to this.

We think it's going to be easy to win every time. It's a false idea but we got it in our mind and cannot get rid of it very easy. It's very addictive too, of course.. But this false idea gets us greedy each time.

Well anything that piques your interest may become addicting in the long run. Gambling for some people, brings excitement and a sense of uncertainty that they like especially when money is involved. Though this works both ways, some people don't mind

But we really need to care about our money, especially our family if your addiction will affect your family, think twice, because once your family will going to affect it will also be one of the reason that your family will also lose. Gambling is really exciting but always thinks of your family if that excitement will bring good to you in the future.

Yes, just treat gambling as a hobby. You don't spend all of your savings and sell your house to buy Pokemon cards (or whatever hobby you have). If you lose a small amount that fine, you enjoyed. If you win a huge amount, cash out and buy your wife and kids some hotdogs or something that'll make them happy!

wow you have made a excellent point, self assessment is the root of controlled gambling. If we are not able to understand that how we much we are earning, how much we can afford to loose and how much we are actually loosing then we are addicted. So always maintain a balance between earnings, expected spending and actual spending.

It's because gambling is like drugs, you always want more on gambling even you are win or lose. The feel when you have a bet and the sweat and your heartbeat makes gambling become fun.

Really? gambling is not like drugs but you are having fun playing gambling , gambling is hobby and like sports that your mind really think and then follow your instinct but im not sure that you are going to win straight evendo your going to hard playing. but gambling for me is really but and really addicted.

in some manner you are correct its just like a game that you focus your mind and dedicate your self the only problem with this addiction is you are using money and losing it especially big amount is not funny and trying to regain it back would turn really to addiction.

Yep you need to focus everything when you are playing gambling if you don't focus then you must get lose and all in all bet and bet and then lose and lose specially when you are playing with big amount yes it is not funny when you are loosing them. And chase it when you lose you're getting too much addicted into gambling.

And you can surely gamble with focus if the amount at stake is a big amount, our bankroll should be serious to make us serious in gambling and to treat this as a game that is like a business where we have to make a plan to last in the game and also when we stop we can stop with a big profit if possible.

If you don't focus on gambling maybe are there just to play with fun but if you are there for profit then you are going to stake the big amount of profit and you need the bankroll you should be serious ofcourse when in gambling became red line then don't play don't push your skills and luck wait for the right time.

In my opinion gambling becomes addiction because of if i have been losing it make me curious and that is make me addiction of gambling.

It drags me to gamble too, but also important reason why i and other gamblers gamble is because they can earn a lot of money this way even if it's risky

to chase the losing money in previous bets are one of many reason why. gambling addicting also due the way you get fun and get money so easy ( when you win ) an addiction always come from an excessive activity , the same applies to gambling. don't gamble too often and always control your bankroll you would get addicted too quick maybe..

Yeah, that is right.. Are you speaking on behalf of your experience? I guess we gamblers have chase our loses sometimes and some called it a martingale method which eventually turns to matinfail method. LOL.. Life in gambling Grin

Risky activity always was funny for many people. Look how many people love extreme sports. Of course gambling is much easier. Just open the application on the phone to get a dose of adrenaline in the online casino. I think that in addition to greed, it is the adrenaline that make people addictive from gambling .. Roll Eyes

Gambling is addictive mentally. The worst thing for a beginner is to win a large amount of money. Later, even when losing, is expecting that the next big win comes easily and work out their losses. However, usually this does not happen and people are getting only more addicted.

Because that is what most people's nature and when a person see's money he will literally take it if no one is looking and if there would be free money pop up on his face he would just literally grab this kind of opportunity, that is most people ways in gambling too, if a person would win in gambling and would really like to win again he would definitely keep on playing or betting.

In other words we can say that gambling is so addicting because of human greed and the search of easy money. They forget that the casino to be maintained must earn. Players forget that % of winnings will always be less than % of losses. That is why gambling should be for fun, not for earning.

Yup! the percentage of winning is lesser that losing that is why gambling are very risky the people playing gambling doesn't even putting their knowledge to it, they only take their chances when betting, and for me I think they should really not think that gambling can be played with the interest of earning and not for fun either cause it can still be addictive in some ways other than just killing their time that's all!
