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.

The excitement it gives to the gamblers when every time they are winning to their bets is just addictive like I have felt that and it makes me excite when I'm going to gamble.
But I thank God for helping me to remove being an addict to gambling.
You are very lucky because awakened earlier than the others that it was very destructive gambling addiction alive.

for me the greediness inside us keeping us to gamble, it is so addicting especially if you are winning for a while and realizing that you already losing in the long run, you keep telling to yourself that you can recover back and you will be doing research on how to win but the truth is you can't win unless you control yourself and knows your limitations.

If you know when to stop, you can make profits, but in the long term, you always lose if you keep playing. Actually, the only way to make positive profits is to stop as soon as you have profit, if you keep playing, you risk losing it. I think betting is a more reasonable way to gamble, than raw luck. For example, I can be on Jon Jones winning the UFC200, that is reasonable, but with gambling, there is no reason, only luck.
I guess gambling makes some beginners or people addicted as it is very interesting, for some people it can stimulate adrenaline, and for some people it is a very interesting game and cool. we always see in the movies

Thing is the game is very smart setup. Every gambler have a few occasional wins, which gives them hope it is possible to win. And they keep on playing and playing until they are out of funds, leaving the game with some hope they can still beat the system.
You can beat the system of the game but not so fast.. you can do it gradually.. if you want to beat the system in the fastest way you will lose every thing you had.. its better gradually make a profit.. dont be greedy and be satisfied and be patience is the key to be success..

Gambling is addicting if you win at the primary stage and that will make you over confident and that will create addiction towards gambling.

Gambling is addicting because of all kind of factors, I think gambling can really make you addicted for sure without any doubts.
Its the point that you can really enjoy it for a long time plus it can be very profitable if you have luck.
Yeah your right but if you are playing for luck its cant still profitable.
Sample you are lucky today you play and gamble to dice you win and you want still to increase your win amount and then you bet again to win you win again.. and you bet all in and then lose.. os you cant still not profitable if you are not satisfied what you had and you are not greedy you will still make a profit when you are gamble.. thats why some people are addicted because they want to recover their loses but they are not satisfied what they had because he didnt recover all their loses.. so it will turn to lose again.. and it will repeat if he or she didnt change his goal satisfactory and dont be greedy..

gambling and addictive.  it could be the URGE OF WINNING,  because addicting definitely is to keep on going no matter what the cost may be.  So why does a person is addictive to gambling is because that person wants to win.

but if addiction was going to be bad, especially if you always lose. it would be bad if you keep trying to play.

we always think of the downside of addictive gambling, what would it be if an addictive gambler always win?  in some cases it happens.  we cannot say it is good, right?  but rather "that's not bad at all"

i know why gambling is so addicting and thats not becasuse of the game. Ok some games are cool but not that cool to put hundreds of dollars into it. If you lose money you want it back dont you. That is the point your getting addicted to the game on that moment you know that you have to take a step behind and leave the shit behind.

This is also a sick behavior seen in investments too. You invest in some stock, or in this case in some altcoin, then you lose money with it, you get mad and you try to fight the market, so you invest more, and you enter in a spiral of losing money instead of recouping loses or at least holding and seeing what happens. This people never learn it seems.

Gambling is not so addictive as everybody is thinking it is. Because you lose money in a casino doesn´t mean you
are already addicted. it will become addicting if you go to many times to a casino and lose every time you just come
back to earn your money back it isn´t addicting directly.

That isn't really the point here, you can really never know when a person will get addicted or a person really is addicted to gambling because there are others that can control themselves towards addiction.

Gambling is the biggest mistake I made
when you realize that follow gambling is the biggest mistake? you still have the opportunity to correct these errors
That's most of the gamblers mistakes here, especially those who have average and even poor financial status, we tend to be addicted to gambler because we consider it as an opportunity to earn huge amount of money but in reality we always go broke, in effect we chase our bets because we want to win back our loses without knowing that we are already near in the hole of total bankruptcy.
for those who are still trying to get back the money that has been lost on gambling, I hope you can get back the lost. although the chances are very small.
Well i am very hopeful for you guys for I believe that you will be able to make it and get it back for the the lost. Most of the people say if there is a will there is a way, don't loose faith if you are good at it you don't have to worry. Gambling will really tear apart a person put yourself together and there you have it. If I were in your place I might do the same thing for there is no chance of me loosing every now and then this is very important on me and I have to focus this time.

Well I think focusing only on gambling will only put you in a lot of trouble, and I think not only trouble but a lot of pain and hardship what if you ending up addicted to it? what would you gonna do to? how does your family support you with you every needs in overcoming this mental illness called addiction?
