Why is it so addictive?

Just the fact that people who have gambled much experienced a win at least one time. Now they think that they can keep winning but they have to know that the chance is still bigger that they will lose.

Gambling will be not that bad if you addicted to it but you have to play with small amounts and that is the best tactic that you can have so you are not losing that much money but you must dont make yourself poor.
If that happens than it is bad and it is addicting because people think that you can earn money with it but that is actually not true.

in gambling when you bet its win or loose, for luck its good luck and bad luck,

i must say that in some point right
but some new gamblers are trying hard to make fast money

for me gambling is something else i dont gamble big just for fun and more the excitement of game watching

You do not get the same feeling when you're betting with free credits or watching someone else play, trust me.

Your wealth isn't on the line, it's simply that.

It's like drugs. You want to get the thrill of gambling, even if you know that you might going to lose, just as you know that you might get killed by a drug overdose.

Yeah that is completely true. Same goes for trading stock on paper or demo trading.

Its easy to make millions when money isn't on the table, but when you trade with real money, it all of a sudden gets harder.

The mindset of the many when it comes to gambling is wrong. Making money in gambling is hard, you need to be very good to achieve your goal. Some of the addicted are those who gamble for money even without the right amount of bankroll. Their projections are unrealistic, putting small amount of bankroll and target to gain huge amount.

Why is it so addictive?

It is just the tendency that you can double your profits. If you need help to stop gambling, I would suggest you keep a diary entry of your wins and losses and compare your loss with the amount you could have earned without gambling. This helped me to stop although I still sometimes play dice. Hope this helps.

Gambling is addicting because there are still a lot of people that likes to gamble and they think that they can be rich with Bitcoin but that is actually not true.
If you are gambling you have to control yourself otherwise you are going to lose a lot of money with it and that is bad.

in gambling when you bet its win or loose, for luck its good luck and bad luck, for perspective look at the darker side or the brighter side

. in aiming just close your eyes coz you wont hit a bulls eye, gambling is not addictive when your enjoying it winning or loosing. don't go nuts

humans really want to try the hard way thinking its easy or one way of the other. we like hurdling on obstacles but sometimes we love to play a game while the game itself does not fit for us. so its not about addictive all the time. its about your attitude towards the game. Grin

Gambling is addicted by many factors combined if you ask me, I think its because its enjoying and can be profitable.
These two combined makes it in my eyes already very addicted and you still have many other factors why people get addicted to gambling.

factors that are common are the factors that you disclose, but here is more to why we can from other factors that are more interesting.

Enjoying absolutely yes but profitable big NO, we cannot profit in gambling unless we are too good. Most of us lost in gambling in the long run so that is not profitable, the key here is to play with the amount we can afford to lose and enjoy gambling to paid off your lost.

"That's just like, your opinion, man."

-WARNING: JUST AN OPINION, MIGHT SOUND A LITTLE PREACHY-
To understand exactly why it's addicting, it might help to study some psychology (specifically "instant gratification"). I'm no expert on the matter, but I think I understand the basics. Essentially, a casino can attract people and keep them engaged, no matter how substantial their losses, because the excitement and triumph that you experience when you win is so compelling. Most people don't have trouble with gambling because they exhibit at least some degree of self-control. Other people, however, get too sucked up in the astronomical odds they face and view it as astronomical potential (a big mistake). Study the odds and try to understand them. Everyone knows the odds, but not everyone can picture them. It's fun to take risks of any sort, just don't forget to try to understand them and don't let them get too large.

It's human nature to have greed. Gambling is a great way to feed that nature. People tend to gambling again and again to earn profit. After you win you'll gamble again and again and again.

They think that they are going to win again and make a profit but they are just losing. Even tho it is true that the chance is bigger to lose they are getting there hopes hope and keep playing.

gambling is synonymous with making money quickly, everyone always wants to get money quickly, so the people who play gambling will addiction, because they always want to get money quickly, but they themselves are mostly lost.

Greed is not always good, anything excessive is bad for us, especially in gambling if you gamble excessively you will be affected, you will be addicted with it and it will be hard to get out of addictions. Most of the gamblers here learned their lesson in the hard way. I hope it will not happen to anyone anymore that you will lose your family because of gambling.

difficult to play gambling to not greedy. moreover I myself always want to get 1 BTC each I do gambling, but I was too little initial capital to get 1 BTC and in the end always lose Grin

Therefore it is impossible for you to win in the long run, your winning projections is unrealistic, you should establish a good bankroll and if you win at least 10% per day then that would be a good amount of money. Never be greedy because that is a recipe for disaster.

Yes, you should limit yourself to 10%, win or lose. When you lose 10% of your bankroll, stop. The same with winning. If you win 10% of your bankroll, stop. Come back again next day. If you let yourself slip, and become greedy, you might lose more than what you intended to. It is when you follow strict discipline that you can succeed not only in gambling but in life.

yes I play too greedy. I normally use capital 0.01, to get 1 BTC. meaning I had to change my habits. with capital 0.01, at least I had to make a target 100% or 0.02

When some habit induce your inner thoughts to earn more, then that habit will become as your addictions. Gambling is treated for making money by many gambler, so it becomes addictions to many gambler...

Yes, when a gambler is not gambling for making money, then the chances for getting addicted to gambling is very less. So gambling itself not addictive. Only gamblers make themselves addicted.

This is because gambling is really risky, and risk is still a part of gambling that anybody needs to wary about because it can cause a lot of tension in playing gambling and because gambling is supposed to be pure luck base and there are a few that are very luck indeed.
