Gambling is all a trick. People think that because they can make money quick and that because they have a strategy, they will be able to beat the dds and that is just not true. To many people I know have wasted so much in gambling and have nothing to show for their mistakes.

That is very true. The main reason for gambling addiction is quick money and most of the gamblers know that they need only luck to win money. But still they want to try their new tricks to beat their luck and they will only regret doing that after losing all of their money. If one really can't control themselves then it is better to avoid gambling completely so avoid future issues.

Most of the gamblers have the same perception about gambling, they think it is the easiest way to make money in a short span of time without realizing the risk associated on it.

Gambling is certainly not equally addicting to all kinds of people. Some people are quickly developing unhealthy gambling behavior, while other stay in control of their spending without problem. I think personality attributes contribute to gambling addiction. A low self-esteem and the belief that one can somehow magically influence luck might be attributes worth considering in that regard.

General rules should be: Do not use gambling as a method to overcome feelings of sadness or low self-esteem. Be aware that gambling is pure luck. Do not expect to generate an income from it. Only bet amounts that you can afford to loose without feelings of regret. Never try to get lost money back by increasing your bet.

No one in this world live with a satisfaction that, this is enough. Everyone needs more and more, when some gets a small win this gradually make them investment more. Possibly when days pass it gets converted to addiction. This makes them spend more time on gambling and avoid engaging into other activities.

That's true when you win at expected game that will increase your curiosity that you can win more and that time you start betting with higher amount and you also don't know when you get addicted to it.

Winning is helping, but the outlook for more money in a fast way is the main thing that get's people gambling. In there head they are only thinking.. I need just 1 win.. 1 win.
And before you've played way longer then you wanted. So you stop, to come back another day.

Gambling is just so addicting because its looking easy to make money on a relative short time, due to this fact people are gambling and wants to try it again and again.
They cannot stop with it anymore when its getting normal for them to do this everyday... till they are poor.

addiction occurs when a person is greedy, in a gambling game that is a major problem.

No,i said its not make people addict to gambling,basic chracteristic of human is greedy,and if people who play gambling not greedy,they will not earn profit as much as they want,i think gambling addicted because people never have strong will to leave gambling while they lost.

Gambling is so addicting because its a way of earning money on a fast way and you want to try it till you will win something.
After you have won you want to do it again and again to earn money but this is of course not gonna happen it only will be enjoyable.

For people who thinks it's a way of earning fast money it will lead them to loosing big amount instead. If you treat it like this then you won't gonna get any profit at all, it will just make you chasing your losses. Greed is the most common causes on why many gamblers get addicted and loosing big amount money.

things we have to underline the gambling addiction is GREED. This is indeed a major problem that can cause our losses.

I find it right, being greedy is one of the reason why gambling is very addictive. Because you have the chance of winning high amount.
But the chance of losing also is high. And people who wants to get shortcut in riches will take the risk of gambling.

Yeah, greed usually gets the best of us. We see only profit from gambling but we fail to see that we can also lose a lot. If only we can see it clearly, then we will not be addicted to it. We will avoid it in the first place. The only winner in gambling is the house. And they nake gambling nore enticing so they can have more gamblers addicted to their games.

If you don't know when to stop then that is the problem, I have been to that situation many times before that I am already up big but due to my emotion that let me play and want to win more I end up losing everything.

That is greed at its finest. If you give in to greed even if you already have enough profit for the day, then you will eventually lose. It always good to check yourself against greed when you are gambling. Set a limit to win and loss, so when you reach it stop gambling. Discipline is a must if you don't want to lose too much or gain a profit.

Gambling is addicting because you also can see now that there are a lot of people that is thinking that they can earn some money with it and that is bad.
Because you need to be really lucky to win some money with gambling and that happens not that often.

Well we can not say something like that if what a real addicted person would think if he really want to just earn or just the fun of it, I think In my opinion there are many people addicted and they had tons going into their head you can really never tell if what is it right now! and yes gambling is really base on luck it is a shame if someone just say and talk to you that there is a secret in always winning in it cause there ain't such a thing!

If a person is getting to use on gambling and repeating it everyday then I think that he is already addicted to it and I think that he is in a point of no return situation kind of thing! and this is hard for them and harder for their family to accept the fact that they had an addicted relative!

Gambling is addicting because it is simpel, people can play games by putting in money and they can also win more money. The fact that it is so simpel to win is enough for some people to be addicted to it.

But I feel gambling is not that much simple to underestimate to get into it. But mistaking it as simple many people are going there and loosing money there. The misunderstanding of gambling as easy source of money making must be the prime reason for addictions.

You are right. The addiction nature of gambling is coming from people's misbehavior. If we play gambling as just entertainment, then there will not be any chances for falling into gambling addictions for sure.

It puts enjoyment to the gamblers even they know that the winning chance is just a low percentage. Once they are already into it,
it would be hard for them to get out from that addiction.
