It is addicting because it is entertaining, I forget my problem everytime I am in gambling. It makes my world stop and just focus on what I am doing. I lost sometimes but most of the times I won so I keep coming back to collect more money.

Good for you. most gamblers aren't lucky like you, they never win. btw how often do you gamble?

Thing is that most people lose when they bet large, and win when they bet small. If you always lose you won't play anymore, but if you experience that you can win you try and try again..

I've experienced this(losing a big bet and then winning smaller bets many times) i'm so unlucky lol.. i'd won big bet only once.

Yeah same here, majority of times I have won when I have betted small and lost when it was higher bet, as you always win when you don't expect and loose when you are expecting to win.

It almost looks like it is rigged. Well I am sure in some cases it is. Because else everybody would just leave the game right? 10 games and all losing makes you feel to go away, but if you win 1,2 games you still got hope.

That is gambling for sure because like in dice you the previous result has no bearing in the next result, in short say they are independent with each other. You can also experience hot and cold streak, the only thing you need to do is you must stay discipline and follow you game plan otherwise you will make a decision that would lead you to losing all your money.

Your right but if you just stay displine and follow the plan it will still result to lose because house always win and if you are not satisfied what you had you cant make a profit.. so make sure dont be greedy and be satisfied what you win..

Even when I win, I have double of what I went in with but end up gambling more.
It is bothersome thing if you ask me.
I would think it is the lure of the win and not all the time about the money, unless there is a lot at stake.

this is such a bad thing to get the habit of doing especially if you are betting big amounts of money each time it will get worse and one day you stop and look back just to see yourself in a lot of loss.

i have been a little like this, and that is the way anybody will become a gambling addict and lose a lot of money.

Gambling is addicting because of the risk/reward and instant knowledge of the result that it gives us. If we win, it makes us feel like we beat the odds (which we have) and that we're unstoppable. If we lose, it makes us want to get back what we lost. It's a very calculated form of entertainment that makes the house fairly wealthy.

That's true as a typical gambler winning is always in our mind, regardless of the odds we do not care about it as we are all relying to our luck in the game. Without considering the risk factor in gambling gives us a headache in the end cause we just realize when our money is gone.

Addiction will start then because we keep coming back and we don't want to accept of defeat in gambling as we are gonna take back our losses not matter what. Unsound decision makings makes it worst.

If we were to consider the risk factor, knowing that we have less than 50% to win the money, we would have not even try to gamble. So those who gamble are usually partially for other purpose like entertainment.

Those addicted with gambling knows the risk for sure but they just disregard it to justify their gambling addictions. They are just concern on how to win their bets and they always makes excuses everytime they lose so they will never learn for sure.
