when I won a little amount, I want to won more until I lost more
Thats a common result when gamblers are playing simply because you cant win in the long run. Thats why some are betting like theres no tommorow because you only win few times most of your gambling carreer. They like to recover all their losses and win big in one time.

True, But usually those who have thought and desire is the person who from the beginning know gambling using greed and want to earn big profits in gambling. Please be aware that gambling can indeed provide advantages and disadvantages, the system (gains and losses) depending on how you play

not really depends on how we play, but it all depends on luck.
yeah supposed to be winning and losing are common, and people do not always complain about this.
and an addiction or not, as long as we are addicted within reasonable limits I think it is not a problem.

There are only two reason why we are addicted to gambling is because we only see that we are winning . not knowing that we are loosing more than winning that is why. also because we want to take back the money we lost.

LOL, that was for the typical gamblers. We gamble as if there was no tomorrow and we want to go all in or go home. Mostly with that kind of attitude, people will face big problem in the future in he continues to do it regularly. Easy to win and lose in gambling so we need to be careful if we are in the losing side.

I don't know why but I always get a feeling to gamble, after then losing my money, I quit for some time and then continue, but I know I will lose my btc Sad

Why is it so addictive?

I got same issue like you. I know at the end (with my methods) i will lose my money in gambling.
But after i postponning to not make bet or play. I just keep make bet until today.  Undecided

Self controlling and understanding is the best way to not got addicted in gambling.

You must know how to control yourself. If you don't want to become one of the addicted gamblers our there. Stop betting or playing. Because once started, it is hard for you to stop. You must know how to stop as early as you can. Just a bit of advice. hehe

It's so hard to control myself when on gambling. Especially when you win some but you want more and keep gambling and you become addictive. It's become a problem and makes you lose in the end.
I think that this is the problem of every one. every one is in struggle to make more and more money in a very very short time. but I make him addicted and if he won a lot of money still he will be willing to increase it.

Yep. But another thing to note is gambling gives you a certain excitement. Same concept you get when you are drug high. And i guess that is what making it addictive.
Drug high is less risk than gambling because when you are high with drugs you will not lose money unless you also gamble but most like trips are going out on a bar with friends. On the other hand, gambling addiction is very dangerous as you might be bankrupt within a day if you make a bad decision with your money.
Non sense. When does drugs become a better thing. It is even worse because when you are in drugs you do not have control of your self. Drugs will take over your mind and body. And there is also the risk of getting over dosed. A lot of people died because of drug overdose. No addiction is good, whether drugs or gambling.

Yeah totally non-sense.

Drugs do take over the control of our mind, including our emotions.

Thus making drugs the most addicting thing in the world with a lot of bad effects to your self to your mind and to society,

Try to think, does gambling cause psychosis? No, right.
But drugs do cause a psychosis to the addicted persons to it, not just temporarily but permanently.

So by the next time you said that gambling is so bad than drugs, then try to look for the effects of drugs first.

I didn't include there that drug is the main reason why some people kill, some people suicide, some rob just to buy for more drugs, without getting any good benefits at all.

There is nothing so addictive in this world, you can stop gambling anytime.
I used to smoke too much, but when I started not doing it, I tried this trick for 21 days.
It is said that whatever your addiction is, if you try and don't do it for 21 days, you can control yourself after that very easily as your mind will stop thinking about it.
Indeed, it all depends on individual if he is ready to accept the change in his life. I know it is difficult in the first but with full effort to change you can achieve change. You need also to shift your interest with our things that requires more effort and time so you will totally forget gambling.

But still it is an addiction,

There is no such thing as having no addiction at all in this world, why do they build some rehab facilities, why do we have a group that help leave the addiction to smoke.

There is an addiction, but it all depends on people who are addicted to it on how fast they will leave it, if they spend more time on other things for sure they can do it in less than a month.

People are very greedy. And that is not good in gambling. We all hope that more people will stop gambling so they can have some more money to save.
Gambling is so addicting, because they like it to do and they think that they can win some money.

Agreed with you, people are addicted towards the gambling in the hope of winning huge amounts . Some people are also addicting because they want to become a rich in short time with no hard work.

not exactly, people have different reasons why they get addicted to gambling, some are addicted to it
because of the excitement and thrill they get when they play some people are as you say because of wanting
to get rich fast some are because of the competition and mind games and so on. so when youre addicted on
gambling doesnt mean you want to get rich fast and plus you need to work hard when your addicted to gambling.

Gambling sux!
Why you talk like that , maybe you lost your money on gambling.
We at least have lost in gambling , but you can learn from your past. About profit you make.
And not to be greedy , if you don't want to lose your money.. It's all about planning..
Once you are addicted you hardly can resists yourself from loosing money and playing again and again.
Gambling is so addicting because of the fact that you never are able to tell yourself why you want to leave it.

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 you're right,

But not all people who are addicted to gambling are in chase of the winning amount in it.

Some are addicted to it because it is the only way where they had found thrill, excitement, and challenges.

As gambling is made for entertainment and not for earning money as it is full of risk and for sure will lose you and your bitcoin in the end.

Based on my experience, if i win once, i will already stop for me to not lose a lot of money. Im just gambling when bored and once I win I will stop. But there are times that I can't win, but I dont want to think That i need to get back the money because the more I bet the more I am losing a lot of money.

people always traying to make money in a very very short time. that is the only reason that they dong gambling.
and in a short time the same person can lose all their money. gambling as a hobby, it was omitted. how to get rid of gambling is to be silent on an isolated island with no internet access at all.

Actually guys,

The said only reason you told is actually the only reason,

Some play gambling and become addicted to it because it is where they had found their happiness, which can be derived from the thrill, excitement, and challenges that they found in gambling from the risk that it pose to their money.

some are addicted to it because they do want to win back and reclaim their lose money on it, and more.

everyone have different perspectives, and reasons on why they had become addicted to it, and it is not only from the single reason you gave.

it's true, it's not from only a single reason, but different reasons, but not too many reasons, just a few. everyone has some same problem. but even if there are bunches of reasons, we still have to state them all in order to solve them all.

Gambling is designed that way. It is designed around a basic human emotion "Greed" the fact that many of the games are fun makes it even more attractive to our emotions. Everything about the system is designed to make you want to gamble. That is why it is so addictive.
if this is really designed that way, I'll admit that this design is very remarkable to destroy a person's life can even make people richer. but this design in our control if we know what the risk is.
