but if we lose it here was the danger. a gambler will seek all means to get his money back. and how inappropriate that we must avoid.

That is not true for all gamblers and we should not keep generalizing those concepts as they bring a bad reputation to gamble. I do it from times to times. I don't even keep track of my progress because I don't intend to be a professional gambler, so I enjoy it because I like to test my skills and luck. I lose some as I know I'm suppose to, and I win some when I get lucky, so I don't chase my losses, and many gamblers do exactly the same I guess.
Majority of the gamblers cannot afford what they lose in gambling and that would lead them to chase there bets, maybe for others it would be easy for them to let go of their loses as they are gambling solely for entertainment. Sometimes it is really hard to control your emotions so you will end up doing a stupid decision.

Gambling is fun for someone who is gambling if they are winning but when they are starting to lose everything they are starting to panic on how will they going to take it back and this is the beginning of the gambling addiction. Because of this desire, a gambler is not thinking straight anymore, what only matters to him is that he will going to take back whatever he loss no matter what, that's why it is hard for someone to stop this kind of person in this kind of situation. A gambler will not able to sleep well in the night because he is always thinking on how he is going to win tomorrow, that's why addiction occurs in gambling.
gambling is full of mysteries. there are supportive and some are refused. all were handed over to the gambler. all the risks in gambling should be considered carefully. but if we lose it here was the danger. a gambler will seek all means to get his money back. and how inappropriate that we must avoid.

yah play games on pc is very good and it was free, but there will be a sensation in itself if you're gambling. perhaps it makes people become addicted to gambling. besides the gambling game, everyone compete and try their luck, and if you feel lucky most big, maybe you'll win in that game. Well, maybe because it was a gamble that make people always addicted

I think it's a completely different thing. Computer games and gambling doesn't have the same appealing. Games offer pleasure for the game itself, and in gambling it's all about the risk and trying to get some profit. I like both computer games and gambling, and for completely different reasons. I won't say I'm addicted to any of those things, but the pleasure I got from any of them have different sources.
obviously different, because computer games simply can not make money (no challenge) while gambling could generate money (here was the challenge that will become addicted). thus then automatically everything that has the challenge there will be a risk.  Grin
Computer games and online games also have money involve like COC, if you want to buy some coins then you need to have more gem so you need to buy with your money, and for me that is also risky then you just want to buy some of the store but in reality you didn't get it personaly which is for me its not good, so every time I play online games, I really don't want to use my money as long as I know that, that is not worth it.
At least that only involves a small amount of money, it is pretty different in gambling as you need to have a bigger bankroll and the outcome of your game is so fast, try to play in dice and even if you have thousand of dollars you can lose that amount even in a matter of minutes.

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.

For me there are two reason why gambling is so addicting to me.
First reason is that i can't stop betting when i am winning why? because i am already winning and want to win more.
Second reason is that i can't also stop betting when i am losing because i want to recover the loss.
Those two reason always make me lose all after hours of gambling and it will always give me the reason to play again and again.

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?

Its not addicted any way it is just that you get curious that you are going back your which is lost in your previous game. Hoping to coneback is real and get profit also. But if you do it several times in just one day being bullheadedness because of your badluck it is a probably addiction.

It's already addiction, since OP says that he/she "always" get a feeling to gamble after losing money, therefore he's been doing this for a long time now... I could conclude that  with those statement he/she is already addicted and I think it is because of those losing and the urge to gamble again with the sole purpose of winning...  Smiley


it may not be an addiction but just chasing of previous losses. However, this may really lead to gambling addiction when the chasing takes long and whether the gambler finally get back its losses or losses more, the gambler stills continue - this will then become an addiction and may mess up that gamblers life.

The fun is really there if there is money involve and we can only see that with gambling as every game needs or requires money to make money. That is addicting only for gamblers who are in desperate need of money and who love to get financial success in an easy and faster way.

And gambling is made more easier today because of bitcoin. Because the gamblers are just going to sit back and relax and with just few clicks away they can now start to gamble. That is the fact that because everyone is able to get some profit while playing that is making someone coming back again and again and becomes addicted.

No matter whether gambling man by nature. The brain gets a powerful dose of adrenaline. In its effects the effect is close to orgasm. While everything else in life goes by the wayside. Gamers not is wondering how to get rid of gambling addiction.
To help and can send only the closest people. Those are the closest that gamers are so often deceived. The psychological way is clear: it is characteristic of the dependent personality type.
Part of the therapy, as a rule, is the agreement on full withdrawal from gambling. Simple reduction of the game to moderate condition is usually insufficient. First and foremost, a complete rejection of gambling helps to identify the root cause, which gave rise to the addiction.
no less important in such a situation the solution of problems related to money debts of the patient, which should not be denied and thrown aside, but rather should work together to develop a program of repayment of monetary debts.

It's addicting because people want to make money, and once they've started to make a bit, they'll want to make as much as possible.
Plus it's extremely fun, and like a computer/console game, it is very, very addicting.

Computer Console Game? I think not it is more fun playing a console game than risking your money over gambling and it can certainly make you addicted over it I prefer a console gaming that betting gaming cause of the strategy you can do over it, while on gambling you can just simply let your luck take the credit for winning,

I also think gambling is more addicting because it has chance to win money, but for some people computer console games are very addicted because before start doing I was much active to play that kind of games and kill almost all of my day on these games.

Sort of. I do prefer playing gambling than playing games all day that could kill my time a lot unlike gambling i could pretty say that i could loose my money in the end but atleast you had some fun and we can say that you can earn a lot from it Cheesy

As mentioned gambling becomes more addictive when one has the access of earning than just spending some time or having some fun. For this reason people prefer to involve into gambling than playing games without any reward. This becomes more addictive when user experience few winning.
