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.

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.

It's the rush you get when you win that's addictive. The feeling you get when you know you just made a lot of money just by playing, the impression it leaves of how easy it was you got this money, and the hope that when you play again, you'll win just as much. This stays with you. So even when you lose, you'll quit for a bit and then experience the difficulty of actually earning money, this makes you remember the time when you won so much money easily, and that's the reason that you'll keep coming back to gamble. It's just how it is for plenty of people. Also, just as worse as smoking because it won't just affect your health but also your financial situation.

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.

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.

Well it depends on some people and mainly we can never tell if a person is good or bad if he would never do such things like that right? so the analyzing thing can not be done if a person does not done anything wrong! but some people that play gambling certainly can become addicted with gambling and that is when the time they can do horrible things like yes killing someone because of money you can never tell what is on the mind of a certain person.

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.

Yes that a nice point you made that gambling is not addicting like drugs which are addicting but the people or we should say the gamblers are the one who gets addicted to gambling.
Yes gambling is not like drugs but there must be something in it and dont know what it is because still people are getting addicted to gambling.

It's because we are thinking all the time about us winning big. That's the main reason for which we are becoming addicted to it. It's that hope in your mind 'ooh come on, I can't loose now' and the worst things happen exactly when you expect it the least. It's not really like the drug addiction: if you stop gambling, nothing bad happens to you. If you stop smoking weed, you just feel like you can't live without it in your body.

Well the facts are all right there about gambling you just need to read the signs, ask someone who's known gambling for years and having knowledge in every aspect in it, you would know that gambling really is addicting even if you are winning or losing every time you bet the possibility of getting addicted is always there!

Yeah, gambling is indeed very dangerous to everyone who did the gambling, the most deadly danger is addicted to, any person who is addicted in gambling will certainly get a bit of a problem in his life and, if not immediately corrected then it will be bad
If a person has nature for being such easy to become addicted in gambling then that person can easily hooked in gambling win or lose, some of us really have a nature of being addicted, I think if not in gambling, in any other activities. So if that person uses his nature of being addicted in investing well I think it is much more profitable addiction than in gambling.

Nature of humanity dictates that, people are grasping for something to hold on to to take their minds off life maybe or whatever they are dealing with, also because we all are greedy and want more no matter how much or how many we have we will always want more, even when we have more than what we really need still demanding for more.

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.

Some people were not influenced and some people was. It's either they made up their decisions to gamble or they don't have anything else to do but gamble for fun and to gain money but its a chance.

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.

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?

My friend take my advice QUIT GAMBLING. Its because of the fun you've been having and that you almost win but lose again  Angry Sad but my friend quit gambling start a new habit for your brighter future gambling makes you poor i doubt it.


In the beginnings gambling is really going to be fun but when things are going to be complicated and you are going to be addicted to it. You are losing big amount of money, the only solution for it is by just quitting it. Because it makes someone addicted when they are going to lose a lot of money and not able to return it.
