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

Well, I would say that gambling is great if we can always win

No thats not the case.   The risk of loss has to be there or the challenge and adrenaline rush from succeeding would not lead to the addictive qualities.     You could compare this to driving a car at 100mph vs sitting on a train at the same speed, its the same deal same result but I expect the car to be the more appealing to a risk taker as its control is with them and also a more apparent risk of loss.
Knowing the fact that we can "always win" is not gambling itself since you'd only be winning. There's no point calling it gamble since there's no risk at all. What's making us addicted to gambling is indeed the adrenaline rush that we get from gambling, and it has heavier effect if we win since we would all feel that it's all worth it.

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

Who addictive?

Maybe it's because of the adrenaline it gives you while playing. There is a mixed emotion of excitement, pain, and worry that you might get busted. When you lost, you want to get back and if you keep losing, you tend to chase those loses. Most of all, gambling is designed for entertainment. The more entertained you are, the more it gets to your system. The trick therefore, is to control that emotion and bet with a system.
Yes, gambling target our emotions, and we are getting the feel of what we exactly want to get soothing. That is the reason gambling becoming addiction. Whenever you want to feel comfortable with your emotions then you might go for gambling.

All the above, the entertaining for your emotions might give you some cash too then you must get addicted with that.  
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.
Your preferred emotions need not to be joyful all the time. Many people like tragedy ending movies. They love to tear out while watching movies. This kind of people will definitely love the frustration from gambling. That is the reason all type of gamblers are getting addicted to gambling (some gamblers get amusement and some gamblers get frustrations).
You are right. All the people are not same similarly all the gamblers are not enjoying only the fun moments of gambling. They love their tensions while gambling like watching a thriller movies. If only fun is the main motto from gambling like a happy ending movie, only very few people will love gambling and get addicted with it.
Sure about that? Only few are addicted with gambling? I don't agree with your statement because I believe that once you love gambling and you feel like you want to play it all the time is already a sign of addiction and the fact that bitcoin gambling is getting huge now the addiction is prone to us.

Yeah,

Winning a money in a gambling game is indeed fun and addicting also,
But you are right that it is not enough to make as addicted to it,

On my side I also play for fun, and because of that fun or thrill I get from playing with it, I think I slowly became addicted to gambling.

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

actually people think they should recover their lost money and hence always loose.

Some other people do that but it cannot get people hook for gambling easily and i think theres a two reason behind why they are getting addicted with it.

First peer pressure the more their friends are indulge with gambling the more they will get hook to it and they want to compete with their friends and show that they are the best and winning most on where they gamble and thats very addicted because if we enjoy it and repeatedly do it every will that could be the first symptoms that it can be called disease and the worst thing could be happen is they cannot get rid of it and do bad just to gamble.

2nd bad thinking that it can be another option to get money well this case really little percentage of people will have a chance to get hook for it but the more they play the more chance for them to fall in bad fate in gambling.
The first peer you are talking is just normal to gamblers as we all have pride and we want to prove to our friends that we are better than them although we really don't show it on action. I do believe that it is one of the reason but you cannot expect your friends will last long in gambling so you could also quit if you rely to your friends.

Why is it so addictive?

It appeals to the nature of the addiction to make it hard for risistance . So it is not with ease that stops gambling but power from the mind. Also support or help and control. If you have control you can gamble with no problem and keep it calm and right. This is helpful. If you lose too much it will make you sad.  Cry We dont want you sad.  Roll Eyes  Grin

You can not stay away for more than few minutes in any condition of both which are winning or loosing. Gambling always gives you hope to recover or win more in next few hands. Once you have played for some period you can not get rid of gambling. Players fell more quick in addiction of gambling than other things. Gambling is very attractive to make your dreams come true this makes it addictive.

It's addictive probably because of the thought that you can make easy money. When you lose, you think you can chase your losses, and be back in the green again, though it never happens (pretty much). It's also based on greed.
Yes we can become addicted because gambling was caused by our obsession to benefit a lot. If we gamble we will pursue profit much so that win or lose we will continue to pursue benefit and hope to get a lot of advantages.
That's the most possible outcome of a person that use to gambling a lot and depend on this type of game as an earning to make daily profit. The emotion you have won't overcome your way of thinking thus make you think illogically and continue to play even though you know that the situation is not in favor on your hand anymore.
those people who totally depend on gambling for earning their daily profit in order to support their family are going to destroy their life as he will earn only in some period of life and then is some period of life he will lose and Ihavw saw a person doing that, he spend the worst life and did not enjoyed the beauties of life.
That's true some of gamblers wasting their time and money to a gambling house instead they are going out with family having a date with their husband and wife. They will actually make their family happy and also themselves. Make more quality time with family not in gambling sites or gambling houses.

yes winning is what makes us addicted. although we have always suffered many defeats, and victory only a few times. yeah, they will think have a chance to win big if keep trying. most important of all is we are smart to control themselves, and all will be fine.
It is not necessarily that we should win all time as that would never happen, gambling is a game of chance and those who are lucky are given the bigger chance to win but that wins is just temporary if we rely on luck alone, majority loses in the long run.

It is very impossible that in gambling you are going always to win. And it is going to be addicted in gambling if there is a gambling where you could always win. It is just addicted because it gives enjoyment and fun to the gamblers who are betting in it daily.
Well, I would say that gambling is great if we can always win but the reality is not and we are still addicted in gambling. People who lose in gambling does not want to just stop as we have our price sometimes that we want to implement in gambling and that is our weaknesses as humans.
