Although that is just temporary but we feel real job when we sometimes win in gambling and that is just normal as a gambler, on the next day we do gamble again longing to win more but we could end up losing.

We must accept whatever the results in the gambling but we must have the joy in doing it.

Yup! accepting really is the way so you would not regret and try to get back what you have lost in gambling in that way you will not have too many expenses in gambling and no frustration over what you have lost.

I don't think we can accept loosing while in that moment, But after that day you will just realize what you've lose before you can really accepts what happen. So after you realize what happen on that day be sure that you must learn something from it. small or big learnings must do. So for the next time you gamble you must know what will you do.

actually you have to accept some facts about gambling to be able to move forward with your life and not get addicted to it.

you have to accept that there is no life in gambling, and there is no consistent profit in gambling. only the house wins so either stop gambling or choose a game that doesn't need you to bet against the house and needs your skills to win.

Well, you were also right. We need to accept some facts in gambling for us to move forward and not get addicted in gambling. I think if you also learn something after you gamble it will also help you realise something. Smiley

It's because of the big high you get when you win.  And when you lose you want to make that money back by betting more than the amount you lost to recover it.  It's a vicious cycle unfortunately.  thefeels

The more higher bet mean the more higher profit, I also think this kind of bets made gambling more attractive, gambling is always attractive when we hear some extra ordinary type of success stories which make inspire other to get start gambling and avail their chance to get rich so quickly.

That's actually what catches my attention too before, when I saw what I could win from almost a scratch or no capital at all. Not to mention those who testifies that they win a lot because of their technique...So I think, your first impression about gambling is what could possibly be the key/reason on why you are addicted to it.

I was also once a victim of those propaganda endorsing a technique to always win on a certain gambling site. But instead of winning, I lose my bitcoins. That is when I accepted that I cannot win in gambling. So now, I just play occasionally with small amounts. No regret when I lost, but good vibes when I win.

Very true and it has always done. I've also never done it, because at that time I was in need of a lot of money in a short time, so I did some gambling with great emotion and greed.
yeah gambling is all about making our mind more addictive, it doesn't matter weather you win or lose your addiction towards it will go on increasing and only one way to get out of it is just go to rehav and consult with the psychiatrist !

exactly, all those who feel addicted in gambling will certainly be tough to get away from it and will always do gambling until they absolutely have the determination and a strong desire to stop gambling. How that might be done is to do activities that can forget bitcoin, consulted to family/psychiatrist.

You are right, it can be avoided if they are doing to do other activities that can get their attentions and get addicted into it.

That's the best way to avoid gambling is to get addicted again with other things.

Just like what you did in gambling and you became addicted with it.

you have such a negative thinking about gambling.
things aren't that bad in gambling, or at least it is not this bad for everybody. a lot of us are in control and also make some small money on the side while having all kinds of fun gambling without getting addicted.

Gambling is addictive because when someone loose money that doesn't consider his loss as loosing money. Many people think they are not loosing because someday will be their day and they will take back all the amount with interest by winning big once. In gambling both winning and loosing keep person hope and provoke to stay intact it is hope which makes it more addictive.

because gambling affects our thinking. because we are focused on getting a lot of money. because that really makes us addicted to gambling. although we were poor due to gambling. but we'll continue to play it. effects of gambling are enormous.

That is really a good reason why gambling is so addiction. When a gambler loses his money in gambling for sure he wants to get it back.
And it tends unless he is not running out of funds he is just going to keep gambling until he make some profits or he gets back his loses.
That is why gambling is addictive.
It is just like a revenge that we cannot have a peace of mind until we can do it, however in gambling it is way more different because we are talking about money here and we are playing with the site that is just normal to make profit all the time.

I think it is not only about being greedy but about wanting to higher up one's self-esteem, feel like a cool person
How can someone higher it's self-esteem in gambling? Oh wait your talking about status in life? So he think that gambling will make him rich that's why he can make his self-esteem higher too? I tell you it's a bullish mindset.

Lol getting self-esteem is not gonna happen through gambling, gambling will ruin your self esteem since you will lose. If your self esteem is low you should not gamble very much.

Actually if you have low self esteem, I don't think that you should try gambling.. That would result to failure and making your gambling life not that exciting and I don't think that it could boost your self esteem, actually it could end you up devastate if you were busted...But winning could atleast give you a temporary joy specially if what you win could help you...

Gambling is so addicting because when people have won one time then they think that luck is always going to be with them and they play further and more.
When you have tasted a win wit gambling then you are going to want more and more.
I don't think a winning could make people addicted, the only thing could make people addicted to gambling is a fun way to double your money with less effort if you compare it to real work that require hard work and muscle.

yes your emotion can make you addicted in gambling, it is your own personality and don't blame anybody except to yourself. Because once you cannot stop playing from betting in gambling that is actually an addiction. And it is really hard to cure. I guess we need the help of a psychiatrist. Because they know what to do for us to quit in gambling.
