Gambling is so addicting because knowing the fact that you can earn money in an instant gives you excitement. Whenever you go to the casino, you automatically get the desire to feel that moment of you winning money in an instant. There's also people in the casino which makes it fun to hang around and play there. In addition, it is said that the lights and the sounds in casino makes you more and more addicted to it.

Yes exactly, gambling is very addicting as the people are hoping for the fast money they are going to get with gambling once they are going to win. But that is just only a come and go opportunity. Maybe today you are going to win some good amount but tomorrow and for next consecutive days worst is going to happen to you and lose.

gambling is so addicting because of the idea that if we are going to win or hit the jackpot it would be and easy money then. Yet the problem their is that instead of going up, gambling slowly pull us back especially if you will not able to control your self during the session.

The jackpot and the ambition of becoming big time easily is the biggest lure of gambling. But we should know by now that it will almost never happen. There can maybe a few who will hit the jackpot but that is just to entice new gamblers. Most of the time, gamblers will lose because of it. Personally, i think if you win a money easily, you will lose it as easily as well.

Because naturally people are greed. When greed take over his mind , it will become addicted. Some people can't control the power of greed so they can do anything to keep gambling ( even they must break the law )

Greediness makes people to gamble and as we are gambling then we are hoping to earn big amount of money base on our luck.

And instead of aiming to earn it just comes to turn that we are becoming addicted to it because we can't just help to manage our time for it.

Even losing a lot of money still hoping for the big amount that you can possibly earn.

cause everyone is greedy, they wanna make easy money with fun, so people prefer making money in this way, but most people failed because casinos have house edges, we lose in the long run, so we should stop when we earn, although it is difficult for us
Correct. We should control our self in terms of gambling. we might lose everything when we keep on playing and when we are lose, we have that feeling that we need to get back those what we have lost and became eager. In a way that we will gonna bet everything until we lost everything and all we want is to get back the one we've lost.
Well this is only if you include your own money but if you only use money that you've earn here at bitcoin sites then this could be good on doubling what you've earn.
Gambling with your personal money if fine as long as you can afford to lose it, that should be done by a person who wants to enjoy in gambling. Losing is part of gambling but it is fine if we are having fun, as long as we are not spending the money not intended in gambling we will last in the long run.

Money is sometimes called a drug takes you to the sky. Money is addictive. No one in the world don't stay without money of any form. If you can loot money, do you stay inactive, so gambling is addictive.
I dont understand that and dont agree with you.Money is invloved in many other things in a business there is alot of money,In any job you gonna get your salary in money but you never gonna get addicted to a job or a business.
The thing is whenever we win in gamblings it is very easy money that is earned by a lot of work.so people think its a pretty easy way of earning the money without doing much hard work.
It is not actually the money whose the main reason why we are addicted in gambling, it is the entertainment we get and thrill in game of gambling, rich  people does not aim for money anymore but they gamble because they love to challenge themselves and to enjoy the game.

That is true to some but not to all. There are really people that plays gambling for fun and that is what we are supposed to do. However, professional gamblers are not playing it for fun though, there are playing it for money - for profit.
I think everyone that gambling would they want to get a victory so I think their goal is money or profit. so I think it is actually quite possible that each player will become gambling addicts after their gamble because they will think to earn more money or curious to play again in gambling. there is always a desire to gamble

It is sure easy to understand, and if we are a gambler we will know that base on experience, my experience as I was once addicted with gambling and even now I still have that slight addiction as not all the time I can control myself in gambling. When you are addicted, you have more time in gambling than any other things in your life.
yeah that's true, the person that is really addicted in gambling will always make time just to gamble even if he has a work or activities to do, they will leave it just because of gambling. That is so sad that there are a person that cannot control themselves.  Cry

The essence of winning some amount with gambling is making it very addicting that's why more and more people are getting attached and get addicted with gambling. The addiction is just making them hard to control and even their savings are getting wasted when they are on rage emotion because when they lose they want to get it again.

Only if the gambler could have pre-planned bets, sessions, proper bankroll management, and self-control, these instances of rage betting can be avoided easily. When we don't have a system when we gamble, we tend to bet randomly and can easily bust all of our bankroll.

Fairly sure the brain scan of a gambler suffering addiction will be similar to any other kind of addict except without physical damage hopefully but I imagine it activates similar emotions that justify the continued action past any losses.   If people were totally logical it'd probably be far less profitable or tricky for the punters to negotiate because they must navigate themselves as well as any opponents or probability

Well a lot of gamblers that are into addiction never have a thought to realize that they are indeed addicted to gambling sometimes an addicted person doesn't see this and will continue to get caught with gambling because of his addiction and will need a help from his love ones to confront him of his condition!

You're not really a gambler if you are addicted and can't control yourself from gambling. Well, atleast you won't be a gambler for long since you're going to be sacrificing literally your everything to hit and "win big" or so they say.

I think if you are addicted we can say that its a gambler because they are staying in that hobby and he live in gambling..
But the problem if you are always losing there and never make any profit yeah i think they are not a gambler.. because they are lossing for nothing .a true gambler they know about the game if they will lose or not..
I think a true gambler is the one who knows when to stop and when its getting more than enough. Anyways a recently was reading some article and it was right on telling why gambling addicts , they said - Gambling makes you feel for win and hard on loose, this makes you go more and ore when loose and unstoppable on wins.

People are greedy and wish to become a millionaire overnight like in fairy-tales. If that was really the case then so many people would not study and work hard in order to earn money to live - everyone would flock at casinos and become millionaires one by one. The casinos are not giving away money for free. They are running a business and they are the real profit makers.
Apparently a lot of people have ditched the idea of working hard/grinding until they reach their goals. That's why you can see a lot of people lurking around gambling sites even when they have no more money to bet. I think one of the reasons why this type of people keep on doing what they're doing is because every day (or maybe every week), there's actually someone in the gambling site that hits the jackpot. They think or they wish to become one of those lucky people one day. Unfortunate for them, until now they haven't hit the jackpot, that's why they are still lurking on gambling sites.

I agree with you. Hard work pays off in the end and that why people study, work and earn money to live a happy and peaceful life. Although some people simple like to get rich in a day losing money in gambling and ponzi schemes - both are different but having same tagline - become a millionaire in a day.

The fact is no one can become millionaire overnight, and that also if you are expecting from a small capital that you will hit jackpot someday then that day will never come.

That is what's on the mind of some gamblers, to hit a jackpot one time and stop if they win, which is not going to happen, usually "money" is the only reason the gamblers hold to continue with their vice, nothing more than that, they are into winning and not into entertainment or fun or whatever feeling is that that others are saying... A gambler won't keep on coming back to the gambling site if he/she haven't taste atleast one good win.
