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

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.

You may become addicted to gambling because of many reasons:
1.You may encoutered early Big win in your first bet or first day of gambling.
2.Accessing or being able to gamble is easy. You just need internet, mobile or any gadgets and you are good to play online casino.
3.You want to forget your problem so you gamble instead.
4.You have a financial problem and you try to gamble to get or accumulate the money that you need.

for me these are the reason why people get addicted in gambling. there are more reasons.

I remember one time when a friend and I were passing Vegas.  We stopped at the casino and tried the slot machine.  I simply had about $20 worth of chips and since it was my birthday... i tried it.  And yeah!  I won $15.. so basically lost $5.

I went back to the room to sleep since we were driving early the following morning.
I did not know that my friend went back to the casino and played the slot machine until 5am.
And I was wondering why he was so groggy that I had to drive even if it was his turn to drive from Vegas.
Later on he admitted to me that he was at the casino.
And he said for some reason.. he just got addicted to it.  He loved the thrill and the possibility of winning.  But I did too - but it did not appeal as much.  He wondered why he was suddenly hooked on it.

I guess the question would be  - why are there certain things that could be addictive for us and not for others?
My simple answer would be our psychological frame-up.
Others get addicted to porn, others do not.
Others to food, romance, thrill..etc while others dont.
But is there a possibility that we may be addicted to something if given a chance to be exposed to them?
My answer would be yes.

The feeling of winning in a gamble is one of the best feelings you can experience, therefore, it's a feeling that can become addictive for those that are genetically proven to fall in the addiction trap. But if you know how to do it casually, you can enjoy it way more than those that do it all the time.
When you start enjoying gambling, that's when you'll get addicted to it. Sometimes things in your life becomes so enjoyable that you do it every single day. You wake up, do it until bed time and you're so excited to start the next day again. This is a loop that is very hard to get out of. Gambling is one of those enjoyable things. "I'm just casually gambling, there's no problem that'll occur in the future" is just an illusion.

Stopping gambling or quitting gambling are not possible for a gambler when he is finding continuing gambling is more fun for him.
When a gambler is keep on continuing his gambling regardless of his profit or loss, definitely will get gambling addiction at the end. But, we could not suggest gamblers not to enjoy gambling by explaining its dangerous of addictions. So, it seems gambling addictions are natural.
Yes, if we go for gambling then gambling addiction you will get us for sure. All entertaining things are addictive, if you are into gambling you will become a gambling addict after few days itself.

If you do not want to ruin your life with gambling, it would be highly recommended never gamble. But it would be very hard after knowing about gambling and its entertainment, no one want to lead a life without tasting gambling at least for only one time.
One or two times are more than enough to find out the entertainments of gambling. After knowing about the entertainments of gambling, no one will be stay calm without going for gambling. The dangerousness of gambling addiction starts here.

But, if we never get a chance to gamble for our life time, then we will get more possibilities to stay away from gambling completely. But, knowing it and not playing it is very challenging for anyone.

Gambling is just so addicting because its so fun to do and you can also fun, these two factors are making it so enjoying and nice.
I really think 80% percent of the addicts is addicted because of this.

I don't think so. I am thinking that most gamblers are playing because they want to profit as the main reason, only a few will play gambling just because playing is fun. Yes gambling is addicting but i can't see the "fun" as the main reason why people is playing gambling.

Bro....I hope you aren't gambling any time soon, because if you're gonna propose two factors....I think you should come up with another one.  I'm not sure if this affects your '80%' of addicts statistic though...do you have a source on that?  Wink

Yeah, and gambling would not be challenging if you keep winning. We are being addicted because we are challenge of the fact that we have more loses than our winnings and the fact that people think winning in gambling is almost an impossible thing. We love to prove to people that we are one of the exceptional people who can do win in the long run.
the thrill when you stake your money to win additional money on certain event make everybody addicted.

and also when you waiting the outcome it has something special that makes you happy , this is make people addicted too. especially when you won it. but when you lost it too it can be something addicted too , because people will try chasing that losts back.

At least understanding and knowing that gambling is addictive we can always consider to make ways to avoid addiction, of course that requires a lot of discipline for every gambler to stay in gambling longer and when you can control your self that means you are not addicted.

You can be happy regardless of your purpose because you are a responsible gambler.

Gambling is very addicted because we think when we gamble we can will win but this is not a actual fact because there a Similar Chances of Making Profit Or losing all your Funds
Its obsiously that gambling sites are too similar they are just had some deffirence between the designing and many more  for me gambling is so much addicted because lots of people are bot that winning and they enjoying the game even they arw loosing lots of money

The game is intended for people to become addicted, and keep on gambling. Because you play and lose and want to win your money back. So people come back to the same casino and try to bet again and so they lose more and more.
Yes but sometimes people are not getting too addicted into the games, But if there are loosing in game and then comeback to chase the looses maybe that's the starting to get them addicted and if you are going to have some good profit then stop playing just withdraw your profit.

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.

This is true as some people like to try out different strategies to see if they can win against the house edge. The joy is not in winning but in figuring out the different methods and trying them out.
making good success with the way you intended to be is really an exciting part of gmbling and by making it over and over you are being addicted and you keep wanting to win more and more or lose in the other way.

It is all indeed something will be a big problem if we can't control themselves. for if we have been a couple of times doing gambling then we will certainly addictive, in the context of addiction I think that there are two branches namely addiction and harm. in addiction to this we could see regular gamblers doing the usual level in the game but surely the danger of addiction and to do it in a way that many extraordinary and very greedy

Why is gambling so addicting? Just because gambling could make you happy. People always get addicted of some thing that make them happy.  But something addicting always have a bad causes
True and I think those getting addicted in gambling is the person that is not contented in their life and seeking with other things that make them satisfied. That is only my opinion.  Roll Eyes
Exactly, and that is because of the desperation to experience a comfortable life but they are blinded by the reality that gambling is not the key in getting their goal in life, they want to do it faster and they have seen an opportunity here in gambling that's why they are here aiming for the reward but most of them get addicted and failed.
That is true, because they didn't think of the possibility that will happen in their game when they play gambling, I think they don't care even if they lose many times as long as they satisfied by playing gambling, and as long as they entertain themselves. 

That is so true - when you gamble just for fun and entertainment, you will not really care about the outcome of the game as to money matters. Of course, you want to win but even if you lose - which most likely you will, you don't care about it because all you care about is that you are having fun playing to these casinos.
absolutely, once you've really enjoy gambling, this will really happens and sometimes being entertain will makes us also addicted in gambling, but of course this is also depend of a player if they will not control their games and money.

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
