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.

Even you are going to bet smaller amount, because big things are starting from small things. That's why even betting small amount is going to make you addicted in it. Just like my example, if you are going to gamble small amount you are not going to think about it even you are going to lose because you can just bet again smaller until your fund is going to lose.
That's true, but for me, it is better for me to bet in small amounts, but I think if I bet all my money that are intended only in gambling in one game, I think it is also fine, as long as I just bet what I can afford to lose I think it is fine, but once I bet my money that is not intended in gambling, that will become gambling is bad at this time.
Correctly in my opinion is a good way to bet small amounts or may bet with half the number we have. Because it will help us to control the number of bets us not spend all of it. If we have control we definitely will not become addicted. The cause of our addiction is no legal limit on the bet.

Gambling is addictive as your brain during this activity emits endocrine something that attracts the opposite sex also although not needed in here but makes you too feel good and of course you want to feel this feeling again. But be careful if this feeling gets to common then this leads to gambling addiction which can seriously damage your life in every aspect of it. Just have fun by playing with only what you can afford to lose and you should be fine.

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.

I fully agree with you. The more you bet the easier you get addicted to gambling. When I am starting to do a lot of tiny bets I usually end up playing until I am broke. Doing less bets with higher value is much better.

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.

Lottery gives you hope to get reach. You would expect the prize draw. You'll be glad or sad after the draw. It's funny) So gambling, so addicting.
gambling is addicting for me either because i get a chance to win big money, though it is also addicting because these games give me a really great opportunity to make big money
Okay! but that opportunity is just temporary, we win in gambling when we are lucky only and when our luck is gone we all lose. The opportunity is only for the gamblers with great capability to win in the long run and they are the gamblers involved in skilled base games like poker and also sports betting can be considered.
Yeah, some professional gamblers I think used to play gambling games that only needs strategy and not just only relying on their luck. Because we cannot say that we are lucky today, no one can even know even yourself if you are lucky today.

it would depends, i know for sure that professional gamblers would not play with those bots because they know what would it bring. Besides they will play to another player and this is where they get their profits
Yeah But I think most of the time professional gamblers will play with strategy, cause if they will just rely on their luck they can lose money, they cannot control the game, and they cannot use their mind, but if that gambler is wise enough and knows the game that actually fit for him, they will choose the game that they know they can win.

it is a mind problem with addiction to gambling it is the will to stop or the the will to proceed most of gambling addicts pretend that they just doing it for fun without noticing that they already loses a huge amount, really have difficulty to say whether you are addicted or not.

It really is hard to tell if a person is addicted or not they would still not gonna say they are addicted because they themselves don't notice it, but even if they are addicted to gambling if they have the will to stop themselves from addiction other gamblers can pretty much stop themselves from it, but not all gamblers can deal with their addiction, there are still some addicted with gambling and getting a hard time coping up!
Addiction is a disease, so you would not notice it, the problem with addicted person is he is desperate enough to make money and will accept even if the chances of winning is too low. They would not notice as long as they have the money to gamble and only if they will become bankrupt which will disable them to gamble and force to stop.

Seriously Gambling addiction really is a mental disorder, some people misunderstood it for just an emotional state of a person but addiction really is a serious case where a person mental disability to choose in stopping it will cause him to think twice before executing what he likes to do! he will start thinking thoughts that is far from his understanding anymore! that is why the one that is addicted to gambling needs consultation from a psychiatrist before proceeding rehabilitation.

yes gambling is so addicting and the more you play, the bigger the chance that you were gonna be addict and loose more bitcoin or money because the more you lose, the more you being so eager to win back what you have lost. and in fact, that's the reason why many people losses big money because of their eagerness. Eager to win back and hoping to win big bitcoin or money.
Because most of peoples still think gambling is best way to earn money fast or double your money.
It's truly wrong , or they get big profit on the short way , so they'll be addicted at the moment , and after they lose their bet.
They deposited money again to gamble again to recover the loss , and will be endless loss for theirs.
so true people think always for their profit and the best way to double your money as 123 or by just a minute you can grow your money if you have that luck people do gambling because of the profit where they can use it on their daily living. people are getting addicted it because of the money for their daily living

Well gambling for often times is really not a normal thing especially when you are thinking that it is going to be your profession at all. Unless you are going to be an owner of a gambling then that is going to be a good addiction. But being an addicted gambler really is a syndrome, because of the hope to win big pot makes gambling addictive.

If you aim at winning big and you bet in a random manner, then a big chance of you losing is very high. Unless you have many sessions and have pre-planned bets then you have chances of winning in gambling.
You'll never know when you'll get lucky, some folks have won surprising amount while betting randomly. planning your bets/gambling session won't help you to win i guess as gambling is all dependent on luck. Cheesy

That strategy is just to rely on your luck and we know that it will not give you a consistent win as apparently luck is not consistent. In gambling, the key to winning in the long run is consistency and we can only have that if we choose the right game and use the proper bankroll management and big control to ourselves.

that is right. we should have consistency in our betting - we must follow only our pre-planned betting and stick to it no matter what. Having bankroll management has something to do with sessions. You actually divide your bankroll into sessions and bet only per session.

Very rightly pointed out, when compared the dependence on gambling addiction. Both are looking for money and lose all that you can lose.
