Gambling is addicting because we all like it to do of course but it is really hard to make some profit with gambling because you also can see now that many people are losing money.
But it is addicting because many people thinks that they can earn some a lot of money with it which that is actually not true.
we must convince those who participate gambling, that getting back all the money they are gambling it is impossible and the chances are very small.

Gambling is just so addicting because of the fact that you can make a lot of money with if you ask me, due to the fact that a lot of people think you can just make some fast money with it they get addicted by the enjoyment they are having.

Gambling can be addicting because you can win and lose money so quickly. If you win big quickly it can be exciting and you want to take a chance on doing it again.  Same for losing but you want to take a chance on getting it all back quickly.
Gambling is the best thing to get instant profit and loss. but we must remain cautious take decisions in the game.
I think so many people who think that gambling is an excellent opportunity to have a lot of money, so they always come back to try though most of them were lost
if the results so , then people must realize that most of gamblers ended up with a losing not a winning! why people still thinking it's a good place to earn a lot of money while they watch people suffering get a huge lost from gambling? idk what actually substances contained in gambling .
People doesn't track their record in gambling that is why some of them does not know if they are profit or loss in overall. The fact that gambling gives so much excitement to the gamblers itself, people tend to remember their winning only. They love to win and forget their losses that is why they are still doing it over and over again.

People usually have an idea about how much they are profiting or losing from gambling unless they are completely addicted to it and don't care about the results..
Indeed addict people only care for winnings. They are only one sided when it comes to gambling as they think they can get their losses and win more if they will not stop gambling. Doing such would lead them to being more addicted and the more they are addicted the more they lose their precious money. Time will come that they will learn but in the hard way.

Yes it might be because they are already very playful bitcoin and certainly they've won in bitcoin so they want to win again and get a lot of bitcoin. Maybe that's the case in my opinion.

Yeah but gambling unlike most addictions is that you have to experience the lose in order to understand why it can become an addiction. Like how most people don't understand alcoholics or drugs addicts, its because they haven't experienced it.

I also think that greediness and the fact that its enjoyable for hours can make you addicted to it.
Other than that I can honestly not find any other reason.

there are also people play gambling because of the thrill feeling it provides. put themselves in risk, it's exciting, release their adrenalin for them to get high.
Maybe there is something in it, with gambling we will feel curious about the next result. And that's what keeps us wanting to try.

forget about curiousity, use the mind, do the math. the next result will be always more dangerous and riskier than the last result, like a russian roulette.

Gambling gives you high enjoyment and nerves when you are betting the highest bet compared to your old bets,  but after the enjoyment and when you loss prepare for thier anger.


After losing a big chunk of money, that's when you start to do bets that you can't even afford to lose or even go all in. You want to recover your loss in a single bet. You'll love the thrill. Then if you lose that round, you'll end up having more losses to recover. You'll try to recover your losses but you'll end up having more losses. Until you realize nothing's left in your bank account so you start to sell your stuffs. If this happens to you, then you are now addicted to gambling.
Gambling addicts are addicted more to the thrill than the money. You can try to deny this all you want, but once you've been hooked, you'll continue on no matter your bankroll unless an external force acts on you [oh, first law of motion!]

Let's suppose that you suddenly received a million dollars and you're a gambler. Let's suppose that your goal was to reach a million dollars through gambling. Okay, you're there. But why does it feel unfulfilling? You want more. Greed drives you senselessly, or so you think. The real allure to gambling is the thrill. Without any loss, there is no more intensity.

Essentially, you're addicted to... losing.

LOL, exactly mate, you hit it, we are addicted to gambling because we are always losing and while we are on that position we always come back to bet more to take back our losses and to be on the profit side. Anyway, gambling is really fun so no matter how much we lose as you as we can afford it they it would fine.

yup, to be honest, a lot of regular gamblers already knew they are going to loss but they still keep going because it is part of their lifestyle already. It is their source of entertainment cause they like the thrill and excitement from gambling.

Or they are already addicted to it and they can't stop it anymore. They cannot control themselves when it comes to.gambling so they just bet even if they know they can lose a lot on their bets. It is just they want the thrill they get from gambling that they will bet even if it means they get broke in the process.

For me it's definitely the opportunity to gain without any effort. It's so addicting simply because of that. You would rather spend your time gambling, than to work 8 hours a day, am I right?

Also the chat is just so addicting to go on. So many people giving out tips and chatting about gambling - your common topic.

sure a ordinary life with working 8 hours a day or even more, yes we are slaves, is boring and depressing, many people try to escape that souless life with shortcuts like gamble.
Because of the stress people get for working 8 hrs a day + over time daily. Is really a stressful life, so people tend to find ways to remove
their stress, some other people finds to drink alcoholic beverages and the most common is removing it by gambling.

that is really bad. unfortunately so many people have fell down that path and sink, so it must be prevented, gambling and all those alcoholic, drugs, prostitute,...

Stress can really feel frustrating and some people become sick because of this and I think the best way isn't by alcohol, drugs, or gambling at all stress can be fight by relaxing get a vacation a long one and if the problem is on the office environment then quit your office and find a new job.

I agree with you, how is that that your remove stress from your daily job which you sometimes works over normal hours when gambling? That only raises the stress, imagine if you came out of work very stressed one day, you decide to tend your nerves by playing a gambling game, you lose it all, then there is the risk you end up in some psychiatric  hospital, and the risk is quite high. I know cases in which gambling has destroyed everything, just quit your job and find a new one if you live in a developed country, different story if you are in some not developed country so you can not find another job that easily.

That would be very tragic if you ended up addicted to gambling then that will be a problem, In my opinion it is alright if find a job in a developed country it is in you if you want to live your life without any problems or don't want to get stress then it will start in you, to change your ways in life is not a simple task and changing why the way you think is the best way to change you point of view in every stress or problem you will face!

I guess we have read enough gambling advices that even ourselves are sometimes reflecting to it. We often refer in our advices "other gamblers" but in reality it is us who is making this decisions and this words are really meant for us in the community because its like a basic to go to gambling for whatever reasons we have.

If those people will just absorb our advice for sure they will be stop in being addicting on gambling. And we can't stop them if they really love to gamble
for somehow, it makes them fun and it gives them the entertainment.
When the addicted gambler is rushing towards his fun and entertainment from gambling, he is the ruining his own life. That will not affect his single life, it will spread out as a social issue by affecting his family. So, we must need to take serious steps and should not leave for the reason of he's entertaining himself.

No not really, it was that it then people would of played it with fake money and would of had the same enjoyment. Its probably because of the emotions of gambling involved.

I agree men it all matters to people on how they handle  themselves when they gamble and i think you cannot be addicted with it if you have proder moderation and know when to stop int terms of losing and winning probably those who get addicted to it is those greedy person who wsnts to win big in gambling.
That's the point. If you have self control and limits in terms of gambling, you will not be addicted. You will just play moderately and know when to stop or continue playing. Well if you are greedy, win or lose you will still continue playing, not even considering how much you lose or how much can you lose after winning and playing again. IMO There's nothing wrong about having fun, just know your limits and not go beyond that

Gambling is so addicting because its simply very enjoying and I think that is the nr1 reason that really let us keep making the same mistake to go back to it and try it again and again.

Well gamblers tend to find it very enjoying every time they gamble. But in the long run they tend to lose their money, but still for the sake of entertainment even they are losing their money, still they are hoping to win and enjoy at the same time.
