Why is it so addictive?

Addiction to gambling is like any other kind of addiction . You try the experience wanting to know what does it feel like , you like it , you say to uour self that you won't abuse it and yet you fall in addiction's trap . Specially if you get some money easily out of it theb you'll like the idea of easy money and continue to gamble.

Gambling is addicitive because it is one of the easiest activity to pick up. It is suitable for all ages so even elderly can also play. You dont even need to understand how it works and you can even profit while being entertained.

Gambling is an easiest way to earn more money easily.But if you are doing it all time then it becomes an addiction.Gambling is also like a disorder it causes stress,anxiety,depression and bipolar depression.Gambling is not a problem if you can afford it otherwise you need to take care of your debts from your gamble.There are some strategies available to overcome gambling addiction you must know your limits of how much you can afford to lose.

Yea opinions are divided is it addiction or sickness. This is hard to answer both both are correct in some point. But dont be fulled that with gambling can make easy money, this is mainly from game or games you are playing. Each gambling game or even sport betting have some good and bad sided. Experience gambler explore weaknesses of these games to gain profit.

There is not a very big difference between sickness and addiction, actually they both are the same. Gambling addiction is a sickness. Thinking of earning from a game that can make us sick is foolish. It is not an income source and can never be one. As far as the weaknesses are concerned, then slots, dice and roulette cannot have any weakness. We cannot do anything about the randomness these games offer.

Gambling addiction is a disease. Once you're affected, you can't be easely healed. I believe the main reason that gets people to be addicted on gambling is greed. We all want to make easy money. Some people do not want to make any effort and they keep gambling and gambling hoping to make the amount they dream to have. A gambler should learn self control and avoid getting carried away.

Not only greed, people who lost much money on gambling will be harder to quit gambling. Because they already lost so much money on it and they only way to winning back all their loses is keep gambling and hope they can win big which is hard to do. That's why gambling is addicting.

I don't think the reason why they can't quit gambling is because they lost a lot of money already. The truth is they want to keep on playing because gambling is already part of their routine they can't go on a day without playing their favorite game, addicted to gambling don't mind about the money anymore what they are looking is the satisfaction of what gambling can give them.

It's probably a condition because it is a mental part not in physical injuries or something. It's definitely hard knowing that you cannot really stop it easily because it has been a habit for you. It continues to be effective in a way that you think about money/profit. That's your goal and acting on it would be dangerous according to your activities causing addiction.

Gambling offers the chance to win a lot of money and have fun about the game. Before such a temptation can stand only those who have a pity completely absent Grin

It does not offer any chance at all because we know that we cant win. If we already know that we cant win and still gamble then it is madness right. I have thought that I could win alot of money as well in the past but everything is just so wrong. In the end I lose alot of money and realized that I have made mistake, it is a mistake that give lesson to my life

I agree with you, it does not give us any chance, those opportunities are just in our imagination, profit from gambling leads us to think about the opportunity, but the fact is that we do not have too many chances to win, our winning percentage is very low, profits are too great to make us not think wisely. I also fell into this trap and until I realized I lost a lot of money, money is never easy to earn, hope everyone should stop dreaming, gambling is for entertainment, not for making money

Because of the pleasure you feel when you are winning and the greed when you are loosing. People think two ways it’s either to play more to earn more money, or to play harder to gives back the money you loose. It’s really addicting specially when you are loosing money, the greed will drive you to go on casinos.

Well, it is a pity that most gamblers come back to play to catch up with their losses. That eventually makes this form of entertainment no more entertain those. If only gamblers play to have some relaxing time, it would be much better.

Why is it so addictive?

Being addicted to compulsive gambling will take over your life . It will destroy you and your family/social life . When gambling a lot of thoughts will rush through your mind listing all the possibilities that can happen and all the numbers or games you can bet on . Those images that you visualize of you being super rich without even spending any effort or any drop of sweat . Whenever you win that hope of becoming rich instantly will seduce you again if if you faced a loosing streak and you'll go back to your habit . Please wake up before finding yourself bankrupt and making your family facing the bad consequences of your addiction.

Because gambling for some people is the easiest way to make money grow quickly. And they believe in lucky day. So when they gambling, they expect to get jackpot. and that's what makes gambling an addiction (mentally).

Gambling is not addictive for everyone. While some people can drop $20 into a slot machine and then walk away whether they win or lose, others have a hard time doing so. For those with gambling addiction, I think that it's mostly about the adrenaline rush that they feel when they play.

Agree gambling addict is looking for that adrenaline feeling they get when they gamble and its satisfy them even if they will lose. I think the entertainment of gambling is one of the reason why there a lot of people gets addicted in gambling.

Lol i am sure deep inside of their heart they do gamble because of the possibility to make money easily.
They might think they are gamble for the sake of fun but actually it is always about money.
Your addiction come from the desire want to earn profit without a real effort just pick between two option and get your money doubled.

I really don't know why some people tend to think that winning money from gambling is really easy, From all my time from gambling, i have noticed that making money from gambling is like pushing a boulder up a boulder up a rock, it's never easy at all and sometimes fruitless.

Alot of people think like that because they havent come to their sense yet. I have come to my sense and I realized this after I lose alot of money from gambling. If people has already lose alot of money then they will forced to make a decision that they will not like, that is to stop gambling otherwise they will lose alot more then what they supposed to lose

Because our brains are already overshadowed by big dreams that gambling present us so we go back to gamble. Lose or win just the same, we will keep coming back and back, until finally we realize that much has been lost yawning because of gambling.

We are brainwashed, is this what are you trying to say? Probably yes, because we keep on thinking that the big wins from other gamblers can possible happen to us. And that's why everyone of us are keep on gambling and it is making us an addicted gambler. This is not new, gambling is very addicting just like the usual type of addiction from other things and I don't want to mention any of them, you all know it.

It is the temptation of the money gambling offers. A study about addiction have concluded that gambling addiction is far worse than being a druggy

The temptation of money isn't with gambling only but I didn't knew it that gambling offers far worse addiction the drugs. Thanks for this information as I thought that addiction in drugs is more severe and worse, do you have any link on that study? Gambling is just really addicting the way it is and it's naturally making each and everyone of us addicted and wants us to gamble most of the time.

That's correct, the temptation of trying to make more money and especially trying to recover what has been lost gets people nose deep into gambling and they become addicted.

I'm totally agree with you. I have such example in my family and that's just terrible how far people may go with the wish to return everything that has been lost already.
The most sad think that there is not a chance to escape this and hard forms of gambling addiction, unfortunately, uncover itself when it's too late.

You did it in your family? There is a chance to escape this addiction and you just need to remember that gambling is not forever. If you want to have a decent life and not in gambling, think on how many times you fall in gambling addiction and think if you want to stay living in that miserable life of failure, only if you are keep on failing in gambling because some addicted gamblers are having good fortune.

I think he has found a good way even though there is no guarantee of it but close to the family can make us have other activities and friends to talk for forget us from something, you must have heard that to get rid of old habits then we must find new habits . Well, maybe this way can be used to eliminate the addiction to gambling.

Also, in order to live we need to do something and if our actions are harming us, we are supposed to change the course. It is very difficult to recover from any sort of addiction or injury and doing it all by your own makes it nearly impossible. Therefore, it is good to have some support and a person who keeps on tapping your shoulder and brings you back to real life.

Well, maybe this way can be used to eliminate the addiction to gambling.

Being close to your relatives or family and friends is a very important thing if you want to stop gambling. As gambling is naturally addicting, we as humans doesn't have human defense mechanism against it. Once our minds started to tell us that we should gamble then we will gamble, this is why many of us aren't comfortable and contented when we gamble because it's really something that's normal and natural.

Family is really important and should be treasured above anything else in this world. When you have good family relations, you just can't afford to risk your lifetime family savings just to gamble because you will surely be thinking that you will go to use that money for the future of your family and loved ones.

In case that you feel you are getting or started to be addicted to gambling, take a deep breath and watch your loved-ones when they are asleep and you will feel that conscience if you bet further because you know that you next bet may lose again.

What's the connect of that? I don't think you'll feel guilty by just doing that. You can't feel that guilt in the first place by just looking at your love ones sleeping. And as I said that gambling is natural, it's normal to see that one of your relative is in gambling as it's naturally making people addicted. If you are born to be a gambler chances of becoming addicted is there and you have to accept that.
