Gambling is thing that can give more control by taking little risk. And people like it to take risk to get multiply rewards, So people are addictive to play gambling games that gives real earnings to their users.

Well maybe people tend to think that gambling is addicting because of the chance of winning big pot on it if they are going to try it.

So, even if it takes time before going to win their desired amount they don't care about it unless they are still gambling after all.

That is really addicting if you are going to think that you are going to win big pot.

It's not to think, that's what already happening. People get easily addicted because they grab the chance to win the big pot. Even the chance that they will win is smaller than 1% because many users is trying the luck too.

Yes that is why people tend to be addicted in gambling because they are hoping to win the big pot even the chances are getting lower.

Of course, many people wants to have big amount of money so they are doing to depend on their luck and hoping to get big pot as they are gambling.

But if the money came from gambling it is just going to passed away fast.

A lot of waffle, misinformation, and people not even answering OPs question here. Gambling is addictive, like food, pornography, video games, and drugs/alcohol, because it stimulates the reward centres in your brain. This is why there is a lot of things that are potentially addictive - anything that gives you that rush, that rewarding feeling, is open to addiction. The two attributes any addictive substance or activity must have is reward, and reinforcement(in gambling this is you feeling good when you win). People can spout all kinds of nonsense about greed etcetera but at the end of the day there is strong evidence that a lot of addictions, regardless of whether they are to physically addictive substances or not, have some neurobiological mechanism to them.

You can read more on the specific mechanisms and neurophysiological evidence here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addiction#Reward_system

Well I think OP's question has been answered in the previous post of some people here, you would need to check on all previous post and I think you would never gonna bother doing that cause the page is at 170 right now and a lot of people are just sub commenting on other people post, and I think people have other kinds of opinion that is why many users are posting here and there are a bunch of weird stuff actually and I think your post might be the closest on how people are getting addicted with gambling and that is because of the rewards that you can get with gambling and I think you had a pretty great research about it.

Yes, some people that have already had a decent job will still gamble. Even if gambling will be the reason why his position will still in just the same position. And the others are already fired because of their doings, because they cannot focus in their job and they always thinking their status in gambling and that will not always be good. Being addicted in gambling will never be good at all. If that’s happen then we already need the help of other people.

This will only apply t o a certain people but not all gamblers are focusing mainly on gamble, but if a gambler are truly addicted then I think he will just pursued in betting and trying to get a higher money with gambling instead of his work, but often times addicted gamblers need help from a psychologist to receive counseling or mental therapy.

Quote from: escrowboy on July 22, 2016, 07:48:42 AM

Make it more deeper, why this people use to gambler instead of saving for his family's future? Well of course he thinks he lacks the money to provide them future. This behavior is encourage by being desperate and poor decision that's why they decide to gamble instead of thinking other way to profit more.

Because Gambling is risky and not stable often times you try to bet on it you would definitely never know when you will win or lose because when you bet on gambling you never have the assurance on profiting on it, but a stable job will secure your income that is why the security of your family is secure when you have a Job.

Because naturally people are greed. When greed take over his mind , it will become addicted.
Some people can't control the power of greed so they can do anything to keep gambling ( even they must break the law )

Yes you are right, and in my opinion people who will play gambling must understand about psicology gambling, so their mind can not be taken by greed. But i still build this method and still need much time.

In my own opinion, gambling is so addicting because it gives hope to the people that wants to earn money fast. But on the other hand, the hope is only 1-10% out of 100% and that hope is making them addicted in gambling. And even they are losing they are going to say 'if I win even one time, I will able to get my lose'

Winning money is what makes gambling addicted. There are very less human who are immune to money.
So when they have a chance, bingo, lottery and yes also gambling they will go for it.

That is really addicting and when you are always winning in gambling but you must always remember on when to gamble and when to stop gambling.
It is really not a good thing when a person gets addicted with gambling, because it is really going to make their lives very miserable.
It can cause bankruptcy.

Well greediness is really the reason why gambling is very addicting people tend to think that they are going to have big money if they are going to gamble. So even they are losing their money they don't as long as they are hoping that they are going to get big amount of money in gambling.
But that is a wrong thinking.

People are only greedy because of the poverty, I think half or more than half of the population in the world are in poverty, so we cannot take it from them to long for money, and since gambling is the only way that gives the opportunity for individual to gamble regardless of your financial status they try their luck in gambling.

That is certainly true, and I think this is the main reason that obtained by all the gamblers. Because of this we live in the world without having any money, then we cannot do anything useful (except for worship). Everyone will certainly do so, but it can ruin ourselves if can't control themselves

We are addicted because whatever we do we cannot be satisfied with our winning in gambling that is why if we already win in a given day we still want to come back for tomorrow to play and hoping that we can get more, it would be fine if the result if the previous will be the result for tomorrow but the reality is winning is not always in our side so we need to bear the loses.

I don't know that feeling but i do play gamble games but i felt uncomfortable playing it so i quit. I always end up losing bitcoins because of the game. Everytime i won im getting greedy so i bet a lot of btc then it losses so i dont want to play gambling games anymore Sad

Well for me gambling is very addicting because of the essence of winning and losing. If people heard the word ' you have a chance of winning ' for sure they are going to be curious at it. And they tend to enjoy it as they are playing gambling. In the end, they don't care if they are going to be addicted.
As long as they are going to win on it.

But, I do see many gamblers are getting tension and frustration from gambling. None of this feeling would definitely sooth them. Still, they are going for gambling regularly due to their addictions. I do not see, gambling is comfortable to many gamblers in emotional way but they are still addicted for gambling.

Addiction of anything could be dangerous but in this case of gambling, people losing so big amounts there as they are very consistent with their habits and doing it daily, I think so gambling is like a very disease but we have no cure for it, to be honest I also playing on different daily just to get addicted of it.

You are wrong then, let me ask you one thing addiction of sport do it dangerous too? Doesnt make sense if you said that addiction of something will be dangerous. Addicted people sure need some rehab but in proper way moreover if you are drug addict but for gambling addiction i think there is still some cure because everything is on your mind so if you can really control your mind and yourself there is no need some cure of it. Gambling sure addicting because of the payout of every money that you put on the table but still you really need some luck to win that

It is the payout and of course the game, the game is the first thing we consider why we become an addict and if we love the game so much just like in dice and what will happen is play longer and our mind has get used to it and until we get bored then we focus next on the money.
