Yes, gambling is addictive and that's why it is banned in many countries, but I think that banning it is not right. Adults should have a right to do whatever they want if that not harms anybody physically. I'm not saying that gambling is a good thing but everyone should have the right to make his/her own decisions.
I think even though gambling banned in many countries but still, if you're still willing to gamble in other words you have an addiction to gambling. I think the country's ban on gambling will never be left off. so the actual rules there yourself. you know what is good and bad?
yes all the rules can be eliminated. currently playing gambling is very easy to do. when the country prohibits then we would do anything to be able gamble. gambling addiction makes us think harder to be able to play.

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.
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.

Well I disagree with you, gambling is really addicting. Regardless the person on why they are addicted. It is the essence of gambling since ever.

It is really addicting at all if you are going to sum up all the characteristics and reason why gambling is addictive and it is maybe in human's nature.

That gambling is very addicting at all.

Yup! gambling will always be addicting whenever a player is occasionally or always playing it, it will always fall down to the desire of the gambler itself and the eagerness to get a big sum in playing gambling,

In my opinion people will never be satisfied with the things he had in life, for example you had buy a brand new mobile phone then a brand new model come up instantly you will want to buy the brand new one again well in gambling greediness is the enemy most gamblers are facing when betting.

Hmm.. Gambling is so addicting.. Yes I agree with that statement..
.
.
You have 1BTC and you can double it in one time.. What do you feel?
 Grin Grin Grin Grin

That is AMAZING!!
.
.
Games of gambling can be learned. We need calculate the chance.
Let's see the roullete games. It has 2 colours to play, red and black.
The chance is 50% for red and 50% for Black.
.
.
If we play and choose the red, we get 50% chance for win or lose
If we play and choose the black, we get 50% chace for win or lose
But when we pass that game, we get nothing..
.
.
So, why is gambling so addicting? Because we have chance for win 50%, but if we pass the game, we get 0% ot nothing..

Not all game are applicable to your 50% law,

Yes games like roulette and dice do belong to your explanation,
But how about the games that are not purely based on luck, Right?
Like poker.
In that kind of game you do use your skills and strategy to make the chance of winning more higher.

don't really gamble, but in my experience, it is addicting when I win once and tried it again then lose then win then lose again...but never tried it again, maybe I don't have the "luck" in gamble..
if luck is not located in the gambling game, then you should never gamble again because it would be dangerous if you already feel addicted and can not leave.


Well you are only going to depend on the luck you have every time you are going to gamble and if you think you are not lucky enough today.

Better to keep quiet and stop for this day because it is going to tend you but maybe it is really going to be addicted if you are into gambling.

The hope of winning is really an addicted thing.

Rigged gambling sites will give you that but sometimes you can win and that is what you called beginner's luck. If you win in the first try more chances you will come back in the next until you failed to notice that the action is becoming repetitive.

I'm a bit skeptical of "beginner's luck." Is it an actual mathematical method used by sites to ensure newbies stay at sites by winning at the beginning? If not, I don't see a reason why you're more likely to win at the beginning than after a while, surely the odds are the same throughout?

And I think it is also more on experience, you will not get addicted to it if you will never try it. So for me, experience on one thing that make you lead to become an addicted person, and it is also depend on you if you choose to stay from that situation or stay away from gambling.
If you are an experience gambler you are already matured and you cannot easily be addicted in gambling as you already learn your lesson, those people who are easily addicted are usually newbies who just love to gamble to win the money they dream.

Thinking that gambling is the easiest and fastest way to earn money is dumbest thing to think as it is very dangerous to act on it to reach your goal.

Yeah an experience gambler are not addicted, but they are only not addicted when they already stop playing as they had learned their lesson with addiction in the game.

Newbies are most commonly fall to the addiction bait of the gambling, you are right.
But some and for those who play for fun, the it is different, those guys who only just play for fun tend to stay away of addiction because they already know that gambling is made to entertain and not to earn a money from it more than what you've lose, because it is what it should be.


Yeah also have a point, and it is really depending of a person if they choose to stay in that position or not.
If they let their mind to dictate them they will really get addicted to it.
We all know how to control our self in this kind of game. There is no instant money you can have in our life.
All of the money is from the hard works and it is our choice if we put our money in a useless thing or not.

intelligence in gambling games is that they can make a person addicted to the way they defrauded its players. they give defeat to his players so that they continue to benefit from his players.
Actually if you have ever experience to be addicted in gambling, we are not addicted because the site is cheating and we keep losing. We also win sometimes and that makes us addicted because we feel we have a great chance and we can improve our winning record if we adjust more on our method.

I also guess that it is also one of the main reason why people gets addicted to gambling because as they slowly loss their money there comes at a time when they will try to quit this operators were to wise if they sense that you wanted to quit they let you win big amount so that you keep coming back for more

Well I don't think there is the time that gambling sites or gambling places will intend you to win sometimes. I don't think they will do it just for you to get addicted to it.
Because I don't hear some of a story like that, which they think they will intend you to win. It is really depend on luck not 100% but it is more on luck.

I havent hear such thing too that gambling sites let you win so that you would get addicted to play. If thats the case if im the gambler then i would bet as much as i want then win big profit then stop dont play again to that site but in reality we keep going back on where we win huge profits.

Who never dreamed to win a pot of casino with a small ammount or even a big one, lower then the pot?
Gambling is making anyone believe that you can win big, but the real thing is that are few people taking really profit from it besides casino owners.

Adults should have a right to do whatever they want if that not harms anybody physically. I'm not saying that gambling is a good thing but everyone should have the right to make his/her own decisions.
Freedom should always be achieve but if that freedom can affect you then we should also implement a certain law, although I know that it should be a self-disciplinary we can also help those who cannot help themselves.

Well your thoughts are not wrong either, but gambling is not really harmful if it is physical but through mentally it is! and I think that is more harmful than physical pain, because physical pain care be cure in just weeks or months but if a person gets addicted in gambling addiction can be cure for about a month or years, but that is if a person become addicted with gambling.

Not at all, in our country they only banned gambling establishment that were unlicensed because the government cannot make money form their operation but the government alone have their own established casino, so in that sense the government is not totally banning gambling at all.
