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?

Gambling becomes addicting when you win something in it, and then you always gamble for winning more but that does not happen everything but later even if you lose you wont stop because you have already become addicted to it.

Yes gambling addiction can ruin anyone no matter how rich a person can be its a that kind of addiction that it can make a rich people poor.
i think its the greediness than results in destruction of people,because richer people wants to become more richer and if they loose they want to cover their losses.And this addiction ends up destroying the gamblers life.

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.

yes when they were financially ruined, then gambling addiction, their life will be ruined.
but this also applies to people who have good financially, if addicted to gambling, they could be ruined financially.

Hello
Gambling is addicting because of the fact that we see one in thousand people win the jackpot and become rich and hence we want to try our luck too. Most cases the person loses a lot and becomes a beggar. So its not good to get addicted rather play for fun and not to earn. Gambling is not a good investment (not even an investment) rather its a total loss.

hit the jackpot every day is an impossible thing to happen. luck to get a very small chance. you better rethink to invest in gambling.

True, that is too impossible, but trying your luck everyday can also help you to win the jackpot price that you wanted. But if you win that is possible to happen in just one time, so don't expect that you can win often. If that time happens that you can win in that day, accept it and don't waste another day to gamble again because for sure if you try again to get that jackpot you can just definitely lose what you have won.

Gambling is addictive because starting we love the new thinks like playing we don't care about money. letter when we lose then we start chasing for that money. Finally for that reason we will be addicted.

Well, that's how gambling works my friend some gamblers can be addicted because they do not know how to control their emotions. Most gamblers are after of the money that is why every time they lose they will be force to chase which results to a losing session.

Yes making money is a psychological wish for every human for making a better future. When gambling provides some hope for a better future, most of the gamblers getting into gambling with their all emotions.
But the real problem starts when a gambler's emotions is playing a role to control him. It means a gambler absolutely going out of his control like when to stop gambling, which is the main cause of gambling addictions.

No better man can win in gambling if the emotion will take charge of win, as human we are so sensitive and it is just normal that every time we lose we feel depress and our depression drives us to get back what we have lose buy chasing our bets which normally end up to losing.

Chasing back our losed money can be one of the factor for people to be addicted in gambling, but i truly also believed that one thing can contribute for their addiction is by peer pressure, its because if they see people or friends doing gambling it can urge their drive to do so and make gamble also just tonjoin the fab and try their luck to win some money with it.

I don't think that anyone can force you to gamble, its your personal decision whether to gamble or not, and it becomes addiction if you win big at initial stage and you start having a feeling that you can win even more.

thats true, if you dont want to gamble then you shouldnt do that, in my opinion gambling is not going to make you profit so better just dont do that

That's where a big problem becomes a great help... It gives you a realization when you know that you are almost close on looking on both side like a horse with a piece of cloth on each side of the eyes.,, I experienced that too, I was too excited and bet my whole bankroll and guess what? I was busted and it seems like there is something feeling cold in my back that I almost feel like shaking... Cheesy

Then after that I then quit gambling, though it's just a small amount, but what the heck!! I need every coin that I earn.

Why is it so addictive?

This is with !any thongs in life. The addiction is to bring you back. Even with food alcoholic or games addiction too. Must keep spending to keep up. If it is a game the new items will come and you want to buy them. On food and drink it is tasty and some get addicted and come back. See how mc Donalds is some people addicted on it. The gambling casino is addictive for same reasons. Makes you come back to spend more. But gambling makes more per person then drinking and eating. Maybe games can be gambling too if it is luck based to win something then u must spend lots until you get it. This is not good for addicted people. Always will come back after.

Yeah planning about your session won't contribute that much to your winning,

But if you divided (for example 0.25 bitcoins) in to a lot of sessions rather than just wishing for that luck to hit in all in game do make a great difference.

Cause you also dividing the luck and multiplying it,making the chance of winning a little bit higher.

It is better for me if I just bet that 0.25BTC in one go than doing small bets on different sessions. The latter requires more time to accomplish. And if you lose, you don't just lose money, you also lost time. If go YOLO on it, you don't spend too much time gambling. Spending too much on gambling may cause to be addicted to it. So, bet all your money once. If you win, nice and good. If not, better luck next time.

your thought actually are make sense ,making bets in long time and small bets amount only will result to you lost money + lost your time. and the chance to become addicted are higher .

it is vey risky to do , but slightly good to avoid become addicted by doing yolo.

Well yolo is really going to make you happy or sad if you are into it. But that is not recommended thing to do and it is really a good thing if you are going to do yolo.

And I think by doing yolo is very addicting and many are getting into it. That's why gambling is very addicting.

Yolo actually decreased your chance to become an addicted.

You will feel okay fine once you lost your yolo bet , and pretty happy when you won it. It is different when you do a small bets you will lost your time and lost your money in the end still.

It could help because you will lower your exposure in gambling, and when you play with a little session you will not be easily addicted. Doing yolo is just a strategy for most of the people who are only after for the money because if we love to have fun we will be happier if we are lasting in the game.

You can actually do this and I think these kind of a strategy to lessen your losses, and yes lower the exposure on getting addicted in gambling naturally, but it is still not stopping you from betting and getting addicted to gambling, I think the best idea of strategy in profiting is to make your own business and focus from it so that you would never think of returning on gambling anymore!

If we win we will be happy because they can benefit by easily so keep playing, and if you lose we will be able to restore the defeat convinced that if the gamble anymore. I think it's cause to be addicted.

No one really is safe from getting addicted, actually even you or me or what kind of a person you are you can never escape when your addicted but you can never really tell if a person is really addicted or not, or how they become addicted to a certain addiction cause we can never tell if a person would get addicted or not.

But YOLO have higher chance of loaing though because it is hard to win for the first time after you log in to particular site. I have tried this before but with small amount for sure but in the end I just lose it luckily it was only small amount. This is actually good reason because after you lose big it will stopped you for a while and let you think for a while but still to spend on that huge amount for only one bet is pretty dangerous thing
