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.

Me too, I always gamble because I cannot take it out in my life, its already part of me and without it I cannot find a good hobby that would give me a real pleasure time while doing it. But mind you, I am a responsible gambler so I am not prone to addiction.

I totally agree, i have a lot of friends who like to gamble a lot. But to me, they are living very well. They dont earn a lot too and they still can gamble every day. It is more about how you spend your money and how you play your game.

Gambling is addicted because of the enjoying parts it has, its just that if you play you cannot stop because its just so addicted.
If I play I play easily several hours due to this.

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.

Exactly, that is why we keep doing it, if gambling would only give you winning then people will not be excited in doing it, as human we want to be challenge as we want to experience both the feeling of losing and winning. What's matters most to be a profitable gambler is we need to have more wins than our losses. If you cannot be profitable in gambling focus other venture and just do gambling for fun.

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?

Because, if you play gambling you can feel curious to win and gain profit from it's. so after it on yourself will arise your desire to try,try and try again so it's can make you become an addicting person in gambling,always curious to try again you gain an something become your goal. Well,I think the taste of gambling it's same with drugs but a goal in gambling to make a profit. Grin

The fact is if you win your first game then you will go crazy and you will feel that you can win some more and at that time you get addicted to it.

That is true people get over excited when they win for the first time and then they think that can make it bigger and loose everything at the end of the day.
