Beacause most people are greedy and they are always looking for easy money.
When they win they want more and keep playing but they forget that sooner or later their luck will be over.When they lose they can't accept that loss is a part of the game and continue untill they get their money back or lose everything.
there thousands reasons could explained why gambling so addictive , but the most popular are because people love their adrenaline to get pushed it's make them feel self satisfaction , make them happy. and yeah sometimes it's addicting due they feel how easy making money though gambling , you don't need to work for hours just roll the dice .

It's just our imagination. Gambling is presented to all of us being the easiest, safest way of earning money fast, while in reality... Yes, it's easy for the house to make money without doing anything. It's still fun for me to gamble, but no more deposits. I'm telling you something.. deposit = donation, most of the time Cheesy
it's happened sometimes you won $2,000 for just 2 minutes play only so i don't think it's our imagination , you can't simply says deposit = donation while outhere a lot of people make a living for years through gambling .

Maybe gambling is never meant for making money from it but it was made for entertainment.  Always gamble carefully with the amount you can afford to lose. But most of the gamblers thinking that they can easily and faster way can make money gambling and end up losing all their money to these gambling houses.
That is just normal I guess because we are so positive with our goal to make money in gambling, even in our time with gambling we use to experiment some methods that would apply to increase our chances to win in gambling.


If you are going to have goal with gambling, make sure that you are going to have big amount of capital in able to fulfill it.

But  it is really going to make you addicted when the times of losing is happening and you are not satisfy on the result with it.

It tends that you want to return back your loses.
Your goal in gambling should be just for fun as when your goal is to make money, that would be the situation where you will face a lot of problem along the way, making money in gambling is not that simple as we think as the business is their for a long operating in a profitable way, you need to be exceptional to win over them.

Even if you think positive in gambling but the luck is not in your side i think it still worthless since now that gambling is very wrong to go for people who wants to earn money, and testing any strat with that can cost as much because we know for our test we can lost more money if we still continue to do it and i really believe that theirs no man can be lucky enough if still they will gamble for more hours their are house edge will kill their luck.

I also don't know why gambling is so addicting. I always try to not gambling anymore but always comeback in the end, maybe it's because you can earn money easily.

From your experience I think you already figure that out why gambling is addicting.  The call of easy money and the temptation of greed to accumulate as many as you can. The entertainment it brings with thrill and excitement.  The chasing of losses  and being lazy to work hard for your needs are the factor why people keep on gambling and being addicted to gambling.

Exactly those who are not interested in hard work. And those who are looking for easy money. They can quickly be addicted to this gambling. Because that type of people doesn't have other choices to make money. So they will choose to gamble to make money. And the end of the day they will to gamble and becomes real Gamblers.

absolutely someone that is so lucky only brings a tiny amount of money then gamble i saw some of them able to multiply the money they have brought to the casino

This can occur in certain kind of people but not all can be this lucky in gambling cause there are no such things as luck and chances, but there are fates! and I think that fate is always lead people in winning and losing, and if you don't really play gambling you will not know when or where fate is gonna lead you if you don't try it!
I have a different distinction about fate and luck in gambling and I do believe that we can only achieve luck in gambling but never fate. In gambling since it is just a game of chance we can sometimes win when we are lucky but still if we will not stop gambling for money our fate is in the bad side.

How ironic gambling would become lol . A lot of people that has fate and believe  that they will be rich in as easy as 123 thru gambling yet most of them ended up drawning to deep and becomes too poor because of the same reason

Well, wouldn't say its that addicting. People tend to do it when they are bored/depressed/angry , while knowing they will loose, not gambling, just giving away money. I'd say consentrate on other things during the day and you won't find a minute to gamble
yes I agree with you. people will easily play a gamble when they have a bad emotional state.
and when someone has a good emotional then they will not become addicted to gambling.

Well every person related to gambling doesn't have a slightest chance of knowing they are already addicted to it, cause an addicted person will not surely say hey I'm addicted!!! he will just denied this kind of disorder to himself, well if you don't want to be addicted then yes concentrate in what you do best and in increasing your money business will be Good.

yes that is a face to me gambling is so addicting because most of the people consider it as the shortcut way of earning money, having less hard work and in very very short time one can make a lot of money the in real the situation become totally different, when they start gambling and lose their money it make them more eager and trying to recover their lost but instead of recovering it they lost some more and and more.........

Well it is my own opinion of pertaining gambling into fate because when you win or lose it really happen to you and I thing that is the fate awaits you, well I really respect the way you think about gambling because it is not wrong either but as a christian and a reader of the bible well I am not disapproving it but Because it denies the reality of God’s sovereignty gambling is affirming the existence of luck or chance.

Because if you are losing you will end up chasing those losses until you lose everything. When you don't have anymore to bet then it is over for you.
I think it still will not come to an end mate, people will never be satisfied and admitted defeat for which they perform a variety of ways to keep gambling, such as borrowing money on lending, then gambling again
they do not realize that their lives have been damaged by gambling
But if they have no more to bet with how will they get the money to keep going on?
Steal it or selling things is the bottom of the barrel. Then what? A end to their life? Is that what you are saying?

take a look at the loan section and you will understand.
those who are real gambling addicts can never control themselves, they do anything to get money and gamble it away, they even take big loans to gamble with and in some serious cases they sell their house or take a mortgage on it and bet with the amount.

There is no telling what addicts will do just to support their addiction. That is why there are news of addicts stealing or killing for money. That maybe hard to hear but that is the reality of it. So before it is too late, do not ever allow any addiction to take a grasp over you. Whether it is gambling or drug, any addiction is uncontrollable and should be avoided at all cost.
To reach to the level of stealing money and killing a person is maybe the worst effect of gambling addiction. Actually only crazy people who can do that and those who are not a responsible gambler because a normal gambler would understand that there is a winning and losing for gambling.

Killing someone because of gambling is very extreme. The one who make it are really have some criminal instinct already and just aggravated by big losses in a very unresponsible gambling. I believe majority of people gambling are just doing it for fun and not to that extreme.

They are already sick even before they do gambling I believe.
This kind of person should never enter into gambling because they are very dangerous and most likely they will lose in the long run as they do not have the right self control to play a discipline way in gambling. Gambling is only for matured thinking person who understand the risk of doing it.
Agree, Gambling is for people who are mature enough to understand the process of the game. We need self-control in order to us to not lose a lot of money. Gambling is really addicting in a way that we cannot manage our self on how we can control our self in greediness and to control our money.
Therefore you should choose the right gambling game for you that would give you so much entertainment when playing it so you would not look for any gambling games that would make you bored and you can shift your focus into money.

Actually gambling is not addicting, the question should be "why people addicted tp gambling". Gambling Addiction comes from human's mind/heart, not from the gambling itself. Unlike addiction of drugs which contains something that make peope addicted to it.
it is true that gambling is not addictive, but the influence of gambling that is causing the addictive nature of a person.
Well you have a point, there are people that has a nature being addicted in some of activities like gambling, they are get easily hooked in the thing that can give them happiness or enjoyment or even being greediness. Because some people that doesn't have that nature not hooked easily in gambling.


Well if those people is nature to be an addicted gambler well we can't do something about it. There are people who are really addicted into gambling and they tend to think that they cannot survive for a day if they can't gamble for a day. And I guess, it is a syndrome already if they have a manner like that.
Yes true there are people like that. There are many people who are forced to gamble and make them addicted to continue gambling. Actually it is very dangerous if someone is addicted to gambling. They will do anything to gamble and sometimes there is a lead to crime. If you want to gamble it may be better to eliminate greed and addiction to bitcoin, so that they can gamble in normal limits.
Well, we cannot handle their situation for those people who really don't know how to manage themselves. Lots of people really have that nature, and we don't really know who are they if we meet them already or not, no one knows. But really gambling is very dangerous to play and we need more guidance especially those people who have a nature to get addicted so that someone supervised them of their doings.

Well it is just going to depend to the person on how he is going to take gambling seriously. If he takes it seriously then that is addiction and going to make his life very bad. Every time he only wants to gamble and that is not right. But he is just going to make gambling as a entertainment and going to  do it on free time to relieve stress then that's good.
but I think there are many ways to relieve stress with a variety of entertainment other than gambling entertain themselves by playing. if we intend to entertainment then look for more profitable entertainment than gambling.  Grin Grin
That is for a certain individual to determine his interest, if he really like gambling to fulfill him of being entertain then he would do gambling by all means. It is his decision in the end if he will quit gambling when addicted.

That's weird I think...Mostly a gambler wants to win, and only want to lose when they see that their opponents are not that good, so they could get many rounds and win bigger... Guilt I think could not affect a gamblers thinking, but one thing is for sure, when you are having a terrible day or you have a bad day, for sure you will bet like you want to pour in all your anger to it..  Smiley

Well , it doesn't apply to all gamblers only the compulsive gamblers. Its a hypothesis though, but i think gambling is always a matter of luck, when gambler wins feels want to win more ( ego ) , and when loses he tries to get his money back .... and from here starts the addiction.

Yeah, only to those compulsive gamblers who forgot the things around them...Oh I see, it's a hypothesis... Your last statement most probably explains right why a gambler gets addicted, maybe it is his (ego) that puts him in that vicious cycle... maybe a compulsive gambler has a numb feeling when they are going to that win and lose and only have their interest on the result of their gambling..  Smiley

Psychologists have hypothesized that compulsive gamblers unconsciously or even consciously in some cases, want to lose. They feel guilty for whatever bad things they've done in their lives and gambling is their way of paying for their sins.
