It is not that gambling is such an addicting sport you know there are always people who dont want to gamble and also get addicted because money is everything for them and they want it back what is not strange.

And also the addicting part in gambling is actually of what you are playing.if the game is exciting to play then you will be going to play and play until you'll realize that nothing in your pocket was left. hehe. Grin Cheesy[

Gambling is only addicting if you lose your mind trying get rich fast. I know we all are like that sometimes but it's bad to be like that all the time. It's bad for you, it's bad for your loved ones. Just think of it and stop being addicted forever.
Yes, may be emotions can make you quit gambling, if nothing else can. Though I think if you really want to quit gambling then get some proper treatment from doctors and may take sleeping pills to avoid gambling (but strictly with your physician prescription).

it is not actually wrong if you are risking a few amount of your money but if you are risking all your money you have from your job it is not normal you need to have a consultation with a psychologist . gambling is very addictive mostly to those who want to double their money in  just one throw of a dice .

Yep. Gambling being wrong is actually relative. The amount people loses is very relative to that person. You can't really identify gambling whether it's right or wrong for this.
i think gambling is wrong for those people who are doing is for making more and more money. they should not do this. i think i never saw a single person in may life time who can say that they are rich because of gambling. gambling can make you rich but for a very very short time. i never saw any person who can say that he is permanently doing earning from gambling. i think we should not make our selves addicting of gambling we should only do it for fun.

If a gamblers would think always of winning back he previous losses then most likely that gambler will end up bankrupt because the reality in the gambling is we lose in the long run and if we are not discipline and we let our emotions dictate the game then the consequences is always bad.

Gambling is so addicting because its very enjoying compared with other methods to gain bitcoin these days.
Its a game you are playing and due to that its addicting.

That's the real reason why gambling is very addicting, is that because the enjoyment and entertainment it can give for the gamblers.
And at the same time while enjoying, they have chance of getting some money but also higher risk of losing their money.

not all gamblers can experience addiction in gambling, because some are trying to ignore it and some control their betting and others were simply taking a look and then realizing how risky it is so they stop playing gambling to try other not risky stuffs.

I have friends who totally not interested in gambling and i have friends who keep going to gamble in real casino once every month. They even have to take a 8hr journey just to reach there and they still do it every month. So it is not a cup of tea for everyone but it is definitely an exciting activities for many people.

I think it is also depend of what they are playing, when you gamble you play a game right? and if the game if exciting, people that want to try their luck will bet to that game specially if the game is very exciting Smiley

Yup! there are certainly different motives for every gambler and we don't know what's going in the mind of every person who is gambling and not all people are getting addicted in gambling and not all are that serious when it comes to gambling and definitely not all have the same mind set when it comes to gambling.

Addiction is a problem that is hard to deal with. Once you start and you know you  are winning it then there is low percent that you will stop it.

Of course, If I we're also winning again again, why not to gamble everyday? right. hehe. but if the luck is not mine so why I continue it? That's what it is. If you are always winning you will continue it but if not, why should I continue it? Grin

I guess gambling is addicting because you have the opportunity to win something without doing hard work for it. However, this is not possible in the long run and this is why casinos profit.

BUt if you control that addiction it can become a good thing for you.

Well, gambling is addicting because you have a chance to get free money without putting in any work. This is always better to the human brain than to work hard for your bitcoins.

Many see it as a shortcut, including myself in the past.
Gambing is addicting because more of the gamblers make this as their past time also to gain profit but some of them did not notice how much coin has already lose in gambling.
I know that gambling is not profitable in the long run do not invest more of your coin in gambling on invest what you can afford to lose

Gambling is addictive game of entertainment especially for the old people they don't have any entertainment that could feel them young again in my opinion.
People could prolong his/her life in such excitement that is why it's so addicting.

There is no much different between old people and young people because most of the players is not from old people but from younger one moreover nowadays there is so much improvement of technology so you can play online without going directly to the casino and more of younger people will play it for sure. Addicted comes because people want to get their money back thats why they keep on playing it to recover their loss and this will become habit

Gambling is very addictive and that is by multiple reasons, the first one is that its fast money you will gain. The second is that its enjoying for hours.
The last reason is because people want to win their losses back and make profit.
Gambling is also one of their way to spent time, if they have a problem or they want to spent time for their friends or someone who wants to just kill time. This is also their way to enjoy and if they have a lot of money that they don't know how to spend it with just a couple of time. They will do this!  Grin

Gambling is an entertainment but most of them used it as one of the method to earn money. But spending a lot of it without hope to earn big that is impossible thing, they wont enjoy losing games all the time. Although rich people sure want to get more money, the higher the risk sure have a good payout, most of the riches will play this kind of game
You are right, I also feel the same way.
Many gamblers try too hard to earn money and when they hear about gambling they dream that there is an easy way to earn money just by guessing the results of sports, rolls of dice, etc. But they take more time usually to come out of this dream to realize the real way to earn and why gambling exists.

Misunderstanding of gambling is the biggest reason for it's addictions.

Gambling is very addicting because its fun to do and you can do it for many hours after each other.
Another thing what is making it addicting is that you can make money with it, its just a game.

people always traying to make money in a very very short time. that is the only reason that they dong gambling.
You may have not said it correctly but you have a valid point which we all agree to. I think basically we gamble because we want quick money without any hard work or wasting any time, and that is the cause and reason of addiction.

Gambling may help you to double your money but that is not the goal for long term gambler. A lot of long term gambler treat gambling as a form of entertainment cause they knew that it is very difficult to win against the casino. So addicted to gambling is not because of the potential profit but it is more of the excitement that you have when you gamble.

I think a long term gambler is a pro gambjer and doesn't play for the addiction anymore. They even don't enjoy the game, unless if they win.
Let's not forget they know the games from experience. So they know which games has better odds, which casino has better games etc.
Gambling can be very addicted and this already has been mentioned by all kind of people, its of course true no doubts about that by the way.
I always through it was caused by a combo of two reasons and that is profit and the enjoying factor.
These two factors makes it so hard to stop with gambling in my eyes.

let's say you start gamble just for have fun and get a good entertainment , when you lost what would you do? gamble again with the stake amount doubled? yeah mostly would do this . why? it's too fun to earn money through a game and easy way. and it's a beginning of addiction. we don't want to suffering in lost and chasing it until broke.

You seriously need to get out of it before it's too late. Your fate is already set once you set your foot in a casino. Grab support from friends and families, it is still not all too late.
I think its better to go in psychiatrist and maybe they can give the best solution for your proble, and i think they can give a treatment for addiction..
Or try other thing like be addicted in online games like dota2 and league of legends and i think it can help you to stay away in gambling..
