Gambling is addictive because it gives you a potential chance of earning money without doing anything. All you have to do is to win your bets. It is unlike a job where you have to work hard before getting paid.

Lol the potential of winning that you are saying might be on a probability of   -1 . Winning is really hard especially if you do bet one at a time and a big time betting is i guess much worse. Well as they've always said that  the more time you play the more chances of winning you get.

I think because of money the gambling is so addicting. Yes everyone one loves money, if it is coming easily without any risk means all people will try once. But in gambling making money is very tough. In the beginning, we just start to play. End of the day we lose our money, and we play again to get our lose back. This will repeat every day.  Like this people will addict to this gambling.

People actually get addicted of gambling when they win something at first, later on for trying to win more they lose even a lot but still they don't stop because they got the taste of greed after winning at first.
And that is really the major problem when it comes in gambling, they cannot control their greediness when they win once. Most of the time gamblers really want to earn money but I know that there is also people out just that just gamble for an entertainment.
There are people who gambles purely for fun but the most disturbing is the majority of the gamblers are into gambling for the sole intention of making money that is why the gambling industry is so profitable and they have been making money more and more with the advent of bitcoin gambling.

That is always the reality, gamblers who bet big will have a bigger chance to make money but those who bet small will only win small, and base on research, those who bet small will tend to continue gambling with a lose as they are the ones who likely to easily lose control when greedy.
Betting big amount of money will just recommended to those who are rich because I think people who bet small amount is just seeking an entertainment and not to gain profit.

it is mainly because it allows you to make some decent money even though the possibility is a really small of this happening
if we apply the correct strategy in gambling, then the result will not be a loss, even the games will be profitable, so that people will continue to play this gambling puz until they are completely satisfied with what was achieved in the gambling game.
But the problem even a strategy didnt work without luck. its should be both luck and strategy can give you good result.
You can not make any profit if one of this luck and strategy is none of your methods..
Also gambling is a game so it can be addicting just like the game dota2 or leaugue of legends..

Gambling really is a game of luck. If you really want to win and make a living out of gambling, you need to create more ways to become more luckier. What I mean is, you need to create sessions. Example, your bankroll is 1 btc, it is not wise to play all of that in just one session because when you lost on that session, you are done. However, if divide it into let us say, 10 sessions: it will be .1 per session - this will give you 10 chances of becoming lucky. This is not the only thing you need to consider when gambling, there are other factors needed to be honed like controlling emotions, proper bankroll management, and the like.
thats true and if person is feeling lucky i think that he or she can get hooked onto gambling really easily and it is bad that its so addicting

Yes, all money involved things are addictive to human. In other words all interesting things are so addictive. That is the reason most of people are getting addicted to sex/alcohols. Overstaying could be the another reason, when you are keep on doing same thing then your mind will not think about your routine life and slowly fade away from being  normal.

No, addictions are driven by joy, not money. Gambling is addicting because like feeling of risk and/or winning. If people were thinking only about making money, they would pick something better, like investments for example. Gambling mostly serves as entertainment, sometimes a very costly one.

Sometimes I also think at this strange thing that we loose then too we assure ourselves that in future I will win and recover all losses too. In case of winning we want to make much more. These strange sense of hope in any result keep us connected to gambling. This playing for longer period takes us to addiction. Gambling is very attractive this makes it addictive.
The addiction that will ruin your life. long the benefits will be damages. and those losses will make your adrenaline regain those losses higher. it further worsens the state of someone who is doing the gambling.
Yes indeed everyone who gamble will definitely continue to bet. If someone lost he would bet again and hope to be able to restore the bet. And if someone wins he will bet again to double the advantage because it is so easy to make money on gambling. Addictions like it should be avoided because it will hurt.

probably stories of lucky gamblers makes us play more and more

Well criticism can also be a way to let players want more over gambling, criticizing it can lead many players in curiosity and a positive feedback about something is not the only attention people would be magnetized in it there are negative once that would lead certain people to get curious over a thing we should talk about both because it could lead to a better understanding about addiction.
I think bonuses are what makes us more addictive, because when we are not betting much and see bonus we immediately make deposit to just claim the bonus, while that bonus is lost too our initial deposit also gets ruined. Addiction can be stopped by just gambling when you are sure then only gamble ( like sports ), dont just gamble because you are desperate.

Bonuses over a gambling sites are what most people are after and i thing these kind of thing when it comes to a free bitcoin or bonuses make people come back over gambling certainly they think they can get back what they lost over a bonus and keeps on playing gambling because of these, and I think that it is a marketing strategy of most gambling sites that most gamblers take without noticing that instead of taking back what they lost they are actually losing their money over it.

it is so addicting because it allows to win huge money if you are lucky enough

This why people are into gambling and becomes addicted into it. And the hope of winning big money with it for just small capital is very possible at all but at very low chance. And even they will going to lose big amount of it what comes to the mind of the people is that they have a chance to win bigger pot at it if they are not going to stop.
If that is your mentality in gambling, you will never win because it is about chances, the little your bankroll your chance of losing is high. If you are interested with the money you better be serious and to be serious you set up a decent amount of bankroll that will give you a big chance and will enable you to stay in the game for a long run.
For me, it is better to bet small amount for you to play several times and you can play in a long run because what is good bankroll if you don't know how to handle it wisely. Gambling is not a serious game, for me this is just a game and you cannot lean on gambling when you need money. This is only my opinion.

Yep opinion is always an opinion in opinion there is correct or wrong because that is the one you believe. You are also right bet small then you wouldnt notice that you are earning and just enjoy the game. But almost of the gamblers leaning on it to double their money because they are lucky they win.
Gamblers who bet big and get a big win because they have a large capital so that he bet big. but I'm sure they also have experienced a great defeat. If someone gamble pursue their certain victory because of addiction will continue to pursue victory.
That is always the reality, gamblers who bet big will have a bigger chance to make money but those who bet small will only win small, and base on research, those who bet small will tend to continue gambling with a lose as they are the ones who likely to easily lose control when greedy.
Because they are treating gambling like a business so they are willing to set up a good capital to start betting, capital or bankroll are properly divided into a certain amount which is we called the bankroll management in gambling terminologies, not only that, they are train to control their emotion.

This is caleed Gambler's Fallacy, it's a belief that, if something happens more frequently than normal during some period, it will happen less frequently in the future. In fact, all results are always random, revious bets never have any effect on future bets.
And yet there are SO MANY gamblers that think this way.  I've seen it so many times.  Just like any addiction, it's the midbrain pleasure center that hijacks the frontal cortex.  When the frontal cortex is suppressed, things like logic and mathematics go by the wayside.  That's why rats keep pressing the cocaine lever until they starve to death--it's the same damn mechanism in gamblers.  And then, of course, there are some that are just plain stupid to begin with.
