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

That is why the casino will keep advertising that some of their games, especially the jackpot can allow you to win up to 100k$ and each bet is only a few dollars. With such a small amount and such a huge payout, a lot of people will be tempted by it. And that is why real life casino have a lot of jackpots and a lot of the people are playing there.

its just because of a possibility to win big money in a short period of time

Yeah, it's called greed if to say it in one word. So the answer is don't be greedy, play for fun only, do not mind losing a small amount without trying to recover and gambling will not hurt you.

And a greedy person gets addicted even more quickly, because he thinks that if he gets lucky he can make a lot of profit. While the fact i that when you think more of winning you get more loss.
I personally feel that gambling addicts mainly because we never accept our losses and be quite, instead we chase losses.

Statistic has shown that if you manage to win when you go to casino for the first time, it is more likely that you will be addicted to it as compare to people who lost on their first time. Peer pressure also come in as a major factor so if you have many close friends who often go gambling, you will also likely to join them and gamble often.

When we loss, we will tend to bet bigger and we lose more. The reason we lose is due to house edge, so what makes you think you can have a higher chance of winning when you bet bigger? You will still end up losing due to house edge in the long run regardless of how much you are betting. For winners, the greed will consume them as they will play more and as we all know, the house edge will ensure that they lose in the long run. So by betting more, they are trending towards the negative value and their profit will slowly erode away.

Because gambling will give you satisfaction if you win, and will make you curious if you lose.

Exactly, gambling is going to give you happiness whenever you are going to win to it. And once you have experience the essence of winning.

You are going to look after into it and you are going to have the feelings that you want to feel and win it again and again.

That is why people are getting back into gambling and becoming addicted.

Most of the gamblers are happy to win money in gambling, but that is not the right way to be happy as surely you will lose in the long run. If you really wants to be happy in gambling do not matter on the money and focus on the fun that gambling would bring unto you, you have the option to play all kinds of gambling game to add up the excitement.

Gambling should be treat as a form of entertainment. If you are too focus on getting the desire outcome, the house edge will always get to you and make you loss. Please dont give in to the temptation to bet a huge amount. This will instead make you loss even more to a point of time where the losses are too huge to be possible to recover.

It's addictive cause in your mind you think you can win alot of money and they always make it seem super attractive on those gambling sites, so really its not your fault its the human mind being addicted to this kind of stuff lol

Especially those who has won the jackpot or so, the casino will make sure that they will advertise extremely so that everyone who came into the casino will know about it. In this way, it will let you believe that it is possible to be the next one to win the jackpot and you will end up playing more and more for that hope.

Huh, maybe this is also one of the reasons to addict new people to gambling. Off course, if somebody is making a profit in anything means that will attract other people very soon. Like that others win may lead new people to addict gambling.

True bet someone will continue to seek victory. If someone lost a bet he is unsure if he's going to get a victory, so he will bet again, if they win they will be happy and bet again to double his advantage and he gambled again. If someone is looking for an advantage in gambling will cause addiction so I think it should be avoided.

That's the problem, its called as chasing your losses when you try to recover losses and testing your luck when you try to keep winning more and more. These two things have probably spoiled every gambler sine they have no reason to quit gambling, when they loose they want to recover and when they win they want to continue.

I agree with you. Gambling can make you rich in a second and it's become addicting if you win an easy money on gambling and you want more. Gambling is always make people become addictive.

Very precise, but the wealth it brings will only give something a bad thing for our lives. Because of the wealth that we get in the gambling will certainly be used for things that are negative or are used for gambling with a more extreme way and worse than before. addiction is always owned by gamblers

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.

There are many reasons why people get addicted to gambling, some are here just for adrenaline, others think they will get profit if they will continue playing. Second type is worst, these people can easily lose all their money and fall into debt just to gamble more.

that's their wrong, to fall into debt just to gamble is not good. Gambling is just really not important at all in our life. This is just for an entertainment so why to fall into debt just to gamble.

Its the addiction or you may call it the ego and pride. They losed, then they want to get it back but it goes the otger way again. They come losing again until they want to loan being buried with debts.

And now their pride is not helping them. And I think you are right that their pride is their main problem so that they became buried in debt. If they continue doing it they will just also continue buried themselves in debt.

Risk and Reward are both things that get you exited and get your adrenaline going. They stop logical thinking and you need to stay on top of that. I sometimes consider betting a small amount on a gambling site but I can make myself stay away from it by saying

"Even if I win this 1 BTC bet, I will still have lost 0.01 BTC because that's how much the expected loss is. I might as well have flushed 0.01 BTC down the toilet."

To me gambling wins aren't even real money, 99% of people lose them again very quickly anyways. No matter whether you win or lose, the real amount you lost is the expected loss and in the long run your loss will always be the same as your expected loss.

I dont think that there are allot of people interested into gambling addiction because they dont know that theey are addicted and dont listen to their friends anymore so when you see something like this help your friens.

the more people addicting in gamble, the more hard they got to listen their friends to quit gambling. its hard problem and its need more than just friends to help that person, its really need their family and if its necessary, we should call psychiatrist to help this person too and put this person into rehab programs.

I believed, what you had just said is too much,

Gambling addiction doesn't need that much psychiatric attention,
It is not like an addiction to drugs and alcohol,

Friends, relatives, and different hobbies is enough to help a person addicted to gambling pull away from its addiction.
