I think its because you can easily doubling your money on gambling but the risk is you also can easily lose your money on gambling. I think gambling is makes more addicting when you win much money on gambling and it's make you want gambling more.

which makes gambling so addictive is not only when we win the advantage, but if we lose any money we would gamble again to regain the lost.

Yeah I agree with you whatever results you get on gambling than likely you would go back to gamble again. I do not know what magic is used by the gambling site for players to keep play gambling. but if you gamble you definitely feel very enjoy and exciting right ?

It is not the magic itself man, we are the only making ourselves addicted to gambling and that is for one reason which is "greed", with that we never get contented if we lose or win.

Here are my speculations why gambling is really so addicting:
1. Entertainment / joy when you are gambling your money.
2. Greediness
3. You want to return the lose you have made.

Add some if you think there are.

Yeah for point 2 and 3 are make any sense but for point 1 that entertain yourselves when you spend on your money like nothing without hoping to return back? Will that OK for everyone? Especially are you feeling some joyous moment when you lose your money that instant? Doesnt make any sense though

Gambling is so addicted because of the fact that its enjoying, it already has been said many times but its the truth.
Gambling is fun and if you are playing you want to do it more and more.

Yeah, it is fun and way to get some money by chance so people are addicted to gambling, the fun in gambling and the money in their make gambling more attracted for the users and they then do not leave to gamble and make it their continuous routine.

The fun is a major thing, but i believe the urge to get free money is the biggest problem for addictive gamblers.
For some reason they want/ feel it's normal.

It's the lure of what you can gain. Not having to work hard makes it even more attractive. We want instant satisfaction that we get while gambling that makes us feel good inside and want to carry on winning to feel that way again.

When we gamble, money should be our first concern but sometimes we don't get it, that is just the nature of gambling we lose and win but what is important is we need to win more to be profitable, however addiction is a different thing as it will not bring any benefits to you.

Gambling addiction, also known as compulsive gambling or gambling disorder, is an impulse-control disorder. Compulsive gamblers can’t control the impulse to gamble, even when it’s hurting themselves or their loved ones. Compulsive gamblers keep gambling no matter the consequences, even when they know the odds are against them or they can’t afford to lose.People with gambling addiction often have other behavior or mood disorders.

because you can earn and loss profit at short period of time

not only that. however, gambling was consumed us. time becomes useless because we do gambling.

If you think gambling is just wasting your time means that you do not know how to manage your time, nothing else. So you need to learn how to manage your time on gambling, this is one of the most important parts on how to control yourself on gambling.

Yep, count time as one of the resources you invest with gambling. Not only you lose money with gambling, you also lose time which i have to say is way more valuable.

If it is gambling you are talking about you can certainly can lose lot of things from it, it can be an addiction or you will never have time to spend with you family, friends, and yourself too so that is why time is more important than money itself.

For the one who said that the other user is a lier.

Maybe in your situation you only just play for profit, consider thinking that all of persons and people have a different perspective, you should know that and if you are playing for profit then that is how you treat the game and don't use it as a base for judging others point of view when it comes to gambling.

Maybe you desperately needs a money that is why you are in chase of profit in gambling, which is a wicked move to choose when you want a money.

Yup! Agreed! even rich people are still hungry in gaining more money because they don't want to see themselves being poor and I thing we can never be satisfied in this world for example we have a great expensive car then there will be a brand new model that comes up we would like to get that car even if we already have a car I think that every person has no satisfaction in life!

Why is it so addictive?

Gambling is so addicting because it is simple to understand for most people and you can make fast money with it if you win.
When people have won ones then they think that they can win again and again but that is when it goes wrong.

Pretty much money is one part of it. Some people wanted to experience the thrill behind the game. That one of the reason why some thrill seeking people prefer to bungie jump on the cliff thousand meters above the sea level, or skydive. Others even try to do some death defying stunt. They don't care if they will cost it their lives or their money as long as they experience the thrill and excitement. In gamble it is the same thrill /excitement to be on the middle of "what will show up, Win or lose"

In those stunts, skills are tested and bravery. If you succeed on those stunts, you prove your skills and bravery to those around you, that is why it is exciting. Nothing is proven in gambling. There is no skills required, and no bravery either. Only greed is proven when you gamble. The greed to acquire money easily. And that is what driving the gamblers to be addicted. Not the thrills, but the greed.

It's normal. It is called gambling because people want the urge to earn, there's no sysmptom of addiction in that. Addiction will come once you want all your earnings to be gambled to recover what you lose.

But after wanting to recovered what you lose, you just actually lose again until nothing left in your pocket. So, be careful of what you wish for, because not all the time you can recovered of what you are loosing. For me, I think it is much better to stop than to lose a lot of money/bitcoin.

Why is it so addictive?

A gambler might continue to invest time and money beyond a reasonable limit, not because the potential gain is especially appealing but because the pain of past losses is agonizing. Even when gamblers are aware that they cannot possible win back all that they have lost, they often persist in desperate attempts to recover at least some of their losses.

Good talk, for me that is true, we are just being slave of gambling and when we experience big losses we often make fast decisions without carefully evaluating the risk of our actions.
