Gambling captivate so many people, and it has to attain to the level drugs. This hobby is not only ruining the man and his family, but also psychologically traumatic for the player.

Not if they control themselves! I try my best to do it, and it seems I am having success in the latest weeks. Try to somehow force yourself not to be in control of your money anymore (hand it to your girlfriend or family) and you will stop.

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.
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..

Why do you gamble ? To Increase the capital you currently have !! Correct ?
That's the point when Ball is in the court of website where you gamble , When you loose you will increase the Bet sooner or later for sure to recover the loss.

Many gambling website say that they earn money from the house , Actually not ! They know the human nature to avoid loss and are using it for their advantage.

That's the reason their Gambling business is running.

I think even if the gambling websites change their house edge to 0% of their program then also they will earn the profit like they are earning now.
Gambling is already dependent, and therefore such a passion for their people. If possible, you need to distract the people from such a relationship.

The gambling addiction can sometimes be cure with a shock therapy. Sometimes a good loss is the best lesson than a human can learn. Lose big and you will understand the risk, the n you will think twice again before putting your money in big gambles.
Lol I do not think it was a good lesson. because you have to be bankrupt to be learned? because usually addicts will stop gambling after they spent all their money on gambling? yeah even though it will stop them gamble. but I think they were too late to be aware

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.

Casinos know man likes beauty, so they offer beauty dealers on card games, like blackjack, baccarat.   Wink  So people feel happy even if losing money, because they love the beauty dealers.

But still if you keep on losing there, no matter how beauty the dealer you will still get angry with everything. And i dont think that it will become addiction to you because what really affect the addiction is only the feeling want to recover everything, meanwhile beauty is just some extra addition for gambler for having fun

I stopped gambling when i took a big loss, once you experience a huge loss you are too depressed to ever gamble again, so maybe that is what you need, to experience a big loss and spend an entire month feeling like shit.
Yeah i've been through it, it was the most horrifying thing happened to me. i couldn't eat/sleep, i kept thinking about my losses for many days. although i still gamble like once in months.(with extremely small amount)
This is important if you consider gambling as entertainment, you will not be too concerned about the defeat. I myself play gambling to have fun, loss go away, without being distracting thoughts.

That is the right thing to do, play it for fun with a small amount that you can afford to loose, so even if you loose it should not affect your financial status.

Yeah it might be able to minimize your chances of getting an addiction. Gambling is indeed very dangerous for those who use gambling for want of profit, because the mind will bring up greed and finally they get addicted
It is not always obvious when someone is addicted to gambling. When people are in financial ruin and can only solve their problems by gambling what little they have in an attempt to get a large sum of money.
Some of the addicted person are obvious of their addiction, especially if you always seen that person in gambling places, well that was too obvious that you can’t find out that he is already addicted, I think even you will notice that he is already addicted. Well, maybe it is also depend of a person. But some people that are don't have financially problem I think playing gambling is fine for them.
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.

I believe the potencial earning from gambling is the main reason to anybody get addicted to it, in fact i see a thread where the person is gambling at sports bets and till the moment he made more with some bets then i earn all year working, soo this is a big reason to give a try.
try is the initial damage input gambling. to try then we will get into the gambling world as a whole. because winning or losing can not guarantee that we can stop from gambling addiction.

Simply ask your self, why am i really addicted to it? I think most of the gamblers can answer that it may be i the way of the hype it can gives to them or for some this is a good way to earn.

Most of the time that's the reason why gambling is addictive, sometimes we tend to think that there is an easy money there without tiring ourselves on work...  Who would not want money or easy way of getting it... It's just that gambling looks like that in the outside, but not on the inside, when you are just starting you only see the outside part of gambling and not the real "intention" of the site or its purpose, which is for the owner to earn...  Smiley
Well, if only we are good in gambling then it would be easy for us to make money even spending a little time of the day in gambling. I always try to find a good method that I can use to win consistently in gambling but every time I try my method if does not have a good outcome.

That is right. Knowing these is an advantage for us not to be swayed by these baits by casinos. Some gamblers even play with high bets to impress the dealer and that dealer is effective and is doing good in that scenario. Thus, always bear in mind to not play with emotions when in terms to gambling instead, play according to your pre-planned bets - without emotions.
That's the key to be successful in gambling as you will be able to execute the plan when you are using solely your brain, once your emotion will take over that would be the start of your bad luck in gambling so stick to the plan always and learn to control your emotions in gambling.

There's this feeling of "I'm a hustler." whenever you win a round that seemed so impossible. Some people are looking for that feeling. Others that are on negative profit are looking for the feeling of becoming on positive profit. These feelings can only be obtained by winning so the gamblers that are looking for these feelings are going to bet and bet until they get that feeling. In most cases, even if they have reached the feeling that they initially wanted, they will still continue betting for a more thrilling feeling.
