Gambling is so addicting because it gives us the illusion that it's possible to become rich in just a few seconds. We just have to be "lucky" enough. Gambling is fun at first when you're still having profit but when you reach negative profit, it becomes challenging but it becomes frustrating as well. You would always regret that huge bet. You would always regret betting more than you can afford to lose. Gambling is fun, overall.

Exactly. Unfortunately it's an addiction that many people have and it's very hard to get over. There's always some sort of gambling around us in real life and especially in the bitcoin community so it's hard to overcome on your own. It's like any addiction, you should get help.

It's because of the big profit you get when you win.  And when you lose you want to make that money back by betting more than the amount you lost to recover it.  It's a vicious cycle unfortunately.
That's what we get when we are too greedy in gambling, if we cannot accept our loses most likely we can make a bad decision like chasing bets and when we do that, it gives us a big problem as we are already playing with rage and we cannot think clearly to carry our mission in gambling.

Yeah this is the problem for most gamblers they get too greedy also if they win and when they lose they try to recover the amount of money they'd lost. So they keep coming back even if nothing is left for them that's when it become an addiction.

There is chance to win a lot money so players get started to have fun there but big winning change their way to gamble, no doubt any unexpected win can make them addicted even most of people lost very quickly right after the winning and than they keep trying to chase their loses and this thing make them get addictive.
Yes exactly when they chase their losses they start loosing more and more.
Once they are in profit with their wins, they start to think that its the time to make profit, while actually is the time to leave gambling and quit.

sadly that is true, chasing losses is the worst thing that anybody can do when gambling. i have been doing it for a long time before i quit it. when you lose you get frustrated and want to win it so you try harder and harder to win but it never works that way, so you only lose more.

I had a bad experience, when chasing losses. I always bet on anything and without analyzing. because I really want to recover my losses. but in the end it always ends with a loss. but at the moment I do not ever try to recover the defeat, I only bet when there are interesting games, such as Euro 2016, taking some interesting games and make a high profit.

That is the fastest way to lose, betting without analyzing. Just like in dice, there is no analyzing needed, just bet and click. In sports betting, you should analyze the stats and make bets accordingly. You can make good money that way, specially when you want to win back your losses.

Yeah you are right.

but still there are no surety of it that you are going to win in sports betting even you had analyzed it carefully.

In sports betting The chance of winning is the same as the percentage of losing so it means 50% of winning and losing, so still it is like in the dice.

if you want to actually earn and continuously earn money from it, then you should try to play a games that uses skills and strategy, like poker.

I suggest if you already follow gambling, you try to remember the future of themselves and their families. whether gambling will prosper you and your family in the future?
I hope those who are not lucky and already become addicts can quit and especially aware of the risk of the loss.

Even if you are addicted there are options. Professional help can help you get out of this addiction.
Gambling can be like a disease but it's curable.
It may be curable, but these people will probably always be tempted to play. For some, it could be comparable to a drug habit.
It behaves in the same way a drug does when they only really feel excitement when they are playing for big money on gambling websites. They've done study of brain activity on gamblers and it shows to be just like drug use.
It does not totally behaves as an addiction to drugs.

Both of the drug users and gamblers are getting addicted, but that does not mean that the chemicals sent or produced by the brain for our emotions are the same as when you are taking a drugs.

Consider these chemicals in brain which is commonly produced when you are excited by doing something like gambling Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphin.

While in drugs, it mostly put negative effects on our brains does causing hallucinations, out of the world experience, and more, which is different to chemicals that I had just said above, does making them addicted to it.

Playing gambling is a choice especially if you come back for more, but using drugs are an addiction that requires more medical assistance and psychological assistance that it also cause a psychosis.

Gambling is just so addicting because of the fact that its very enjoying and you want to play more and more due to this.
I also have experienced on this way.

Yeah your right.

Enjoying in the way that it is full of excitement, thrill and challenges due to the high risk that the gambling games are made for.

And also because  of that risk it makes me come back for more just like you,  to put more of my money at stake, feel challenge, lose or win.

Gambling is so entertaining because of those things that It have.

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 a hard time gambler then I am sure that you had an experience of a lot of losses compare to your winnings, and those losses keeps you determined more and more to be eager to win just to get back your total loss amount of bitcoins in those gambling games.

And if you win sometimes you know you can't just go home with those small winnings right? You need to double it and double it until in the end you don't have anything to bring home, those reasons of eagerness to double your money and the excitement are the reasons why gamblers are addicted to gambling.

Gambling is so addicting maybe because  they are thinking that they can double their money in less time. Wether you win or lose once you have tried to gamble you'll get easily attracted on it but sometime it depends on personality of a person.
thoughts to get money quickly on the gambling is very incorrect because in reality it by following the money gambling restrained and even would not go back again.

Gambling is all a trick.  People think that because they can make money quick and that because they have a strategy, they will be able to beat the dds and that is just not true.  To many people I know have wasted so much in gambling and have nothing to show for their mistakes. 
If you can trick on gambling the result maybe lose again no one gan bet gambling websites and off course they are making money for every people who are playing with it if you want really quick money then rob a bank there always a quick money there in gambling there are no smart strategy and you always get lose.

Making profits  and aiming for  stable  income on gambling is  not possible as you said  we cant trick  the gambling  house  itself  in fact   they are tricking  us to make  money and thats the essence  of  gambling site at all since it was  an investments  of  the owners  and  no owner would  intend to give free money.  Strategies are not  possible  on this  kind  of  field.
Nah it's really posible that aiming for stable income in gambling i am fan of 1 king of gambler that he can really make profit every day 1 bitcoin every day is awesome and the gambling is his house and making profit for living with bitcoin he had strategies every time he making bets
oh wow if this for real that person is really rich by now 1 btc / day how that happen what particular strategy he have from there,
if winning that much i can probably say that i'm willing to an addict, but even not its really addicting especially when you are
playing skills gambling like poker and sports betting using knowledge before placing bets its stuck inside your mind making you
keep thinking if what is the next game plan to use.

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.
The focus will solely depend on your purpose, if you are gambling for fun then focus for fun and not in making money.. That's everyone should understand that gambling is s very risky game and an investment because it can hurt us financially.. We live to be happy but gambling will ruin it if we will not be responsible enough to play safe.

That is how we are supposed to look at gambling - we only gamble for fun and entertainment and not on profit. Because if our focus is to earn money out of gambling, then we will just be disappointed at the end of the day. The reason is that, we will surely lose a long the way because of the casino house edge.

Even if your focus is just for fun I think gambling is not healthy and then if your focus of playing it is on fun then you are more prone in becoming addicted to it to the point you can not return in your normal state of controlling your urge in playing it! and sometimes just like in a hobby it can eventually becomes addicting because you are having so much fun it doing it!

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.

I do not know, gambling such as taking drugs, there is something that draws us back to play, even those who have stopped though, maybe it's because it makes us more excited when to play because in gambling there is something very interesting for players  Grin

you're right, it's the same gambling as drugs, because it can make you addicted. I think so many people who like such things, even though they lost so many times, they keep going back to gamble. I think the gamble they can relax and relaxed, while looking for additional income, and I think it was very enjoyable
is fun but also a disservice if we can not control themselves and carefully take advantage of opportunities in this gambling game. but besides that, have fun with gambling before the game vanished from the earth and addiction will be gone.

That is why gambling is addicting because gamblers tend to think that they had a lot of opportunities to make if they will gamble. But instead of taking that opportunities which is very deceiving and being used by all gambling sites, the gambling sites are the one who are getting a lot of opportunities there are a lot of people who are like these.
Well, you cannot blame the gambling house on that as games are created that way, they are in business to make money and of course from us gamblers. So every time we lose, we should not complain, rather adjust our system and control our self the next time we gamble so we can still enjoy gambling.
