Well gambling is very addicting because you can win money its as simple as that so that is the point of gambling, you can win money fast but its also a big risk you are taking. Another reason why people get addicted is because they love the adrenaline
but I think why people addicted to gambling is that they have a keen sense of revenge for their loss.

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.

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.

Gambling is addicting to people because people are greedy and they think that they is a method to earn some money in a fast time but that is actually not true because you lose a lot of money with it.
And you are not realizing that and you need to be lucky if you want to earn some profit with gambling so it wont be that easy.

The fact that a person has gotten really addicted to gambling is true but the thing that have got them from getting addicted has many reason behind it, and it has many possibilities that we can not say what it is and gambling is really risky that you may lose from it every or gain from it is base on luck alone!

Well gambling is very addicting because you can win money its as simple as that so that is the point of gambling, you can win money fast but its also a big risk you are taking. Another reason why people get addicted is because they love the adrenaline

True, the cause of people experiencing addiction in the gambling is because they have the lust and greed that's so in the gambling, they assume that gambling could give them a huge profit in a short time, it is true, But there should be a special technique to realize it.

As I said before gambling can yield a profit for a short term only but it will not last forever so if you got straight wins better to stand up or stop for a moment. Then make a gambling for tomorrow to avoid gambling all your earnings in a day.

You are talking about the worst thing that might happen to us when we got addicted to gambling. There is a more worst than you couldn't imagine, you will lose your job and if you do not have income anymore you will eventually lost your family due to being irresponsible parent.


Did I mention that's the worst thing that can happen to gambling addicts? Roll Eyes The worst thing that can happen to gambling addicts is when they completely lost everything they had - family, money, trust, and even themselves. Yes, you can lose yourself in gambling. There would be a time that you would look in to the mirror and you'll realize that you ended up being broke and homeless just by chasing your previous losses or by betting a big amount of money. This is the reason why there are some popular people who had everything before and then just completely lose everything.

Everyone loves to win, hates to lose and the thrill of winning keeps people coming back for "Just one more"

I agree, we keep playing because we want the thrill of gambling, that made us being addicted to it. Until such time we lost our money and we keep coming back not noticing that we are donating our money in the gambling sites.
That's why you must know your limit. Limit youself from gambling, and don't be addicted. In my opinion, it's okay to try sometimes with small amount just to have fun. But sometimes that's the sad truth, people realizes that it's too much if and only if he loses almost everything or sometimes everything he has.


Every time we read a structure we always have a different interpretation or even similar to our previous interpretation.  Gambling gives us a lot of jaw dropping cravings that one look at it is like wanna stay there until you've sucked everything out from there.   But it is not that easy to acquire it.  So as a gamer who had been trying to hit the pot once is not enough it will take a lot of try's does thinking you looked like an addicted gambler trying to hit jackpot it is like you've started it so finish it, that's if you cant control yourself.

Because if your gaining, your mind think that you can earn more. And if your losing, your mind think that you can recover your loss.
this kind of thing is like a hypnotist
yes, indeed sometimes gambling can always hypnotize everyone to be able to gamble.

Yeah, actually any addiction is like that. Take food addiction for example,  you are like hypnotized by food and can't resist eating it. ) Don't eat too much if you don't want to look ugly, don't gamble too much if you don't want to poor as a rat.

yes addiction always brings bad impact. I was lucky play gambling with bitcoin because I can get it for free, so I never felt poor. because I do not bet and spent my money on gambling
Pretty good idea man, gambling should not be taken seriously to avoid addiction, we should only play base on the amount that we can afford to lose and play it just on our spare time. Gambling is good if you know and understand how to handle it.
