Certain factors of someone's life is always in question to gamble, it is an ancient mystery so I don't know why.
However I think the main reason why it is addicting is because we see it as a means of becoming financially independent.

That's not entirely true, even if you don't consider it as a source income, you will still get addicted to it, sometimes a gambler get hooked in gambling just because he is seeking his losses or sometimes, because of pride that someone might laugh at him if he tell his failure so a gambler might just keep it and keep on gambling and wait til he win...

If a gambler would not accept defeat then he will be addicted because in gambling we lose most of the time and without proper bankroll management we will result to chasing loses instead of sticking to the safer flat betting.

Many people like to gambling and that is because you can have a lot of fun with it so that is really nice and you can even earn some money with it if you are lucky.
And people think that they can earn money in a fast way in gambling but that is actually not true.

yeah enjoy the taste and fun when you gamble especially when you get hit with a really easy in gambling. it will make you become addicted you will be missed and want to repeat it again gambling game. gambling games will always made an impression in your mind and you always want to play again

You got it right. That is the way of gambling. So if I were to convinced aomeone about it I would rather tell him dont try it or start even with just low capital or certainly you will be back for more and that wont stop.

Big things are starting from low. So if you are going to be addicted with gambling and you are going to have small capital with it.
For sure whenever you are going to lose then you are ready to invest to start out another investment and going to invest in much higher capital.
And that is very addictive.

Greediness is one of the factors why you are still playing even though you keep lossing on your game. In this scenario youll suffer big loss because anytime you are lossing you keep your betting higher ,hoping that you losses would be back again, thats what you called greedy.

Well that's true it is why gambling is very addicting at all if a person or gambler is greedy is going to depend in gambling.

And he is going to hope that in gambling he is able to earn big profit from it but instead of winning is just going to lose his capital after all.

And he is going to realize that he needs to stop his addiction.

The best thing to do is that you are going to know your limits. And if you are going to realize that you are going to have limits in gambling.
You are not going to be addicted at all.
You are just going to treat it for entertainment purposes or past time at all.

Exactly! You can be profitable through gambling but you have to have a strict money management. if you have a bad day you need to stop gambling. And do not try to equalize the losses by gambling more. This will definetely result in more losses. Before you should start to gambling, read through money management tutorials which you can find by googling.

Yup! a strict money management In my opinion requires a lot of bitcoin wallet for saving and gambling purposes only if it is for gambling then it is only for gambling and if it is for saving then It is also for saving if you are broke with gambling then control yourself so you can not use the wallet for saving bitcoin go to waste.

That is important the we need to separate our money and we should just take a little amount for gambling, consider that amount as an expense because you don't have to expect that you will get the return of that amount in gambling. In that way you are on your way to play for fun only with less expectation to win money.

That's right we should bet only part of the money we have and do not bet everything because it is very risky. And bear it if we want to bet continuously because if we are addicted we become greedy.

Self control would be the most important when your playing on gambling sites. If you dont have control on your bettings and you let greediness overcome you then youll end nothing. Best thing to do just bet the amount that you can afford to lose or those extra money you have.

True gambling addiction caused by greed and must be overcome in order not to harm us. We have to control ourselves in a bet that we are not greedy, as if greedy we will be able to continue to lose many bitcoin.

Because you feel enjoyment. Even thou you are losing your bitcoins, still you want to gamble. Because if you win, you have this eagerness to play again, and again and that's why you are now addicted to it. If you want to play, then don't use all of your earnings. Always make sure that you have to win whenever you are gambling. Don't let your anger mount you.

It is not enjoyment when you are losing bitcoin it is called dedication. The thing that you feel is the urge that you might recover what you lost and by that you're still continuing even though your putting it all.

My opinion gambling is so addicting because in gambling there are fun and we can get bitcoin with easy but the problem is we can not control our greedy and it will make us lost our profit.

yes we should be able to control emotions in play gambling. we have to be calm in taking any action and pressure. Think to enjoy and get the money.

Yes because if you become eager to win and to gain profit, you will just actually lost money with that attitude, just be patient and your turn will also come in your way.

If you are going to play gambling you should control your emotions and yourself for sure. Because if you are not going to control it.
And you are going to lose your bet, for sure you are going on a rage emotion.
And on that emotion you are going to lose and be addicted to it.

Yup! I think that is most important in controlling your emotions towards gambling, and I think by doing so one should accept the fact that not every bet you made could make a big win, sometime the day you have gamble will comes worst by losing all of your money on that day and sometime lose all of it in just one bet, so regarding in controlling your bet, you should accept that you will lose in gambling.

There are many reasons to get addicted to it.I myself is a bit addicted to gambling.
My reason is to cover my losses which i lost in past.And when i win i would want to win more and keep playing.

When I was still addicted into gambling all I can say that I can't even control myself to get out of it.

It is because I'm enjoying it and I have still a lot of money by that time so I don't value money.

Maybe the essence of fun is why gambling very addictive.

I just read an article and I think this is why the gambling is so addicting.

1. Partial reinforcement
2. Availability heuristic
3. Gambler’s fallacy
4. Illusion of control
5. Loss aversion

Refer to this: http://www.whatispsychology.biz/psychological-reasons-gambling-addictive

I agree with the number 4 that states illusion of control. Gamblers tend to think that they can control to win and their lose on it.
But that's only an illusion after all.
Instead of controlling the gambling they are the one that gets controlled.

That is a very popular reason that gambling is becomes addicting when you are going to cover up some of your losses.
But instead of covering up your losses, what is happening is that you are just adding your losses into it.
