Gambling is only so addicting if you are winning unless you are just gambling for fun. When i am playing poker i don't care how much i lose or i win because poker is my favorite game.

I think it depends on the playing control on everyone. there are players who play just for fun still he became an addict thinking that gambling is very pleasant and not a matter of spending money on gambling lol
there are also players who dared to stop when in a state wins. because he has little control

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.

"Problem gambling is characterized by many difficulties in limiting money and/or time spent on gambling which leads to adverse consequences for the gambler, others, or for the community."

From my opinion the original is that everybody want to get rich in a day, everyone try to find the shortcut ways to reach their goals in short period of time, gambling is the only solution because we all think like that, so that by keep trying we get addicted of it and than no way left for us to do a good job in real life.

When we do greedy in gambling than we will be addicted person, because as you say, everyone want to rich and in a short time, so in this way, gambling is only one thing who help us, than we do gambling and every bet we think that in this bet i will be gotten rich person, but no one is lucky here.

People want to earn more with their money then investment and so they gamble, then then win a little and see how easy it was, so they keep on playing.
So it's the greedy mentality of people which makes is addictive.

I always plan not to greedy before betting or gambling but when I win I cannot stop myself from betting more and then loose then again I think the same but cannot control myself.

If you win - usually you'll get a thrill (associated with neurotransmitter/neuropeptide release) which across a long term creates a positive feedback loop leading you to enjoy gambling and continue to do so. Furthermore, if you gamble regularly you reinforce the habit - so regardless of how much you enjoy it you'll be more inclined to gamble.

Yes i think you are a doctor,i dont know about what nerves but yes we get greedy if we win and try to have more profit and if we loose then we gamble more to chase the loss and slowly get addicted.

to benefit the gamble was not as easy as you pointed out, they have to analyze the risks and opportunities as small as possible.

Realization is not an instant that you can realize that you need to stop when you lose. It may take a long process of you will a lot money before you really realize that you need to stop in gambling.

That's not true, there are people who don't need to fry themselves before they could realize things.. There is no such thing as too late for them... But anyway, to be addicted, one must feel something extreme like too much winning or too much loss..Maybe a euphoria? Cheesy

You said that there are people who don't need to fry themselves before they could realize things , means, not all people right? Yes, you have a point but for me there are SOME people don't realize their doings in an instant, which is why many people become addicted because what their mind dictates to them, they will just do it.

Maybe I could say that humans does not trust humans and I think our addiction in gambling would prove that, when we see someone sharing his experience that he was once addicted in gambling and the result was never pleasant but still we do gambling even knowing the possible result and in the end we realize in a hard way base on our experience.

Yeah, that everyone does have a curious, if the person is already experiencing an addiction. As well as those who are addicted to gambling, in each they get news or experience someone who loss in gambling, they just listen to it without seeing how they use gambling. So curious and thought is the key of the initial addiction

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.

No, experience gambler are those who gamble until now, they have lose their money in the past but they were able to make an adjustment to stay in the long run, they are playing to be entertain and at the same time to have fun.

Experienced gamblers can minimize their loses and maximize their income as they know how to control themselves.

Because when people experience winning, they will keep gamble until it fulfill his joy.
For other case, some people do some gamble because they desperate for their economy , there is no support from his family so they keep gamble until they loss everything they have.
As long as they have caring family, addicted gambler can be cure !
