I don't know why but I always get a feeling to gamble, after then losing my money, I quit for some time and then continue, but I know I will lose my BTC Sad

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.

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.

Why is it so addictive?

it could be for the fun or for the double.
for the fun winning or loosing is fun just enjoying the game.
for the double, winning makes you crave for more and loosing makes you wanna take back what you loose. Shocked
We should enjoy the game win or lose, otherwise if you lose then you will resort to chasing your bets until you can win, but that is a recipe for disaster. You have to accept defeat and bet only what your can afford to lose. This gambling is suppose to be fun but there are some people who cannot manage their emotions and just bet blindly.

10% per day is a massive, massive undertaking and chances are it would be incredibly difficult to make 10% of your bankroll per day through gambling. 10%, if you're able to win that reliably, would be absolutely nuts and would probably be enough to feed your family if you're putting in enough money.

Do you gamble full time by chance? It seems like you have some experience with the numbers game and you seem to be fairly confident in your position. I have no idea if you actually are experienced or confident, but we'll see.

First step is self-exclude from existing accounts and potentiall paties for permanent periods

And froze one payment method such as Neteller with comment of gambling problems

Keep one debit card for your life payments.
hiding money in a place that you can not reach to gamble again maybe it could be a bit void you of gambling addiction.
someone addicted to gambling because of various factors. one of them of course because of the ease of use bankroll.

Gambling is addicting because people are thinking that they can earn a lot of money with it and that is hard to know before because gambling is hard to know.
But people have to control themselves when they are gambling and that would be nice if that is possible for them.

Yeah we all humans has addiction there is bad and some times good. Become a addicted in gambling is not good it can affect our financial.
I think people become addicted because they are want to win or they get entertaining for their self or sometimes if you are lose many times the mind of the human thinking that they want to get all his or her lose. But honestly it will bring you to down or poor.
I think, the interest of gambling disparate and depends on the players. a lot of people who really like football gambling, but they just gamble at the club when they're playing, so maybe interest in gambling only on a hobby of his players

The bad thing of gambling is that it let you think that you can earn a lot of money with it but that is actually not true because you need to be really lucky in gambling.
And that is hard to stop if you are addicted to it so you have to control yourself.
agree with you, hard to stop when you on profit and hard to stop gambling  Angry very hard

Our greedy minds always convince us to gamble because we can double or even triple our money without considering the risk. Because we are just one sided and only focus on winning we tend to forget sometimes that we may lose our money and when we lose we keep coming back because we want revenge.

I think that the main reason is the illusion of being able to become rich in a short time and without efforts! When you win a small amount, you want more and more.. At the end is always the same, you will lose every profit you made and probably more.

Yup! because in gambling there are a only few individuals that can do it because of their luck and not all are that crazy lucky, and ending up addicted to gambling will cause you a lot of pain and the grieve that your family feel towards you because of your state of addiction can not the control anymore!
It lots of pains if you are addicted at gambling because you can lose everything what you had.. so if you really want to stay away or treat your self from being addicted better to go in psychiatrist first and ask them if how to recover your self from addiction or how to threat it..
And i think they can give more solution for addictions..

Yup! I totally agreed and will recommend a psychiatrist if one is really proven addicted to gambling, because an addicted person doesn't control his urge in playing gambling that much and needs medical attention towards rehabilitation or a social group that transforms addicted persons in their addiction.

I think they can leave the addiction of gambling even without any psychiatrist or their medication, if they start some other activities of life and find some other source of entertainment, it is only the idleness which make us addict of something.
That's true people who got addicted with gambling are those that do not get enough attention from their families and friends. They make gambling as an escape from reality and try to get entertain without knowing that they already devoted their time in gambling.

gambling is so addictive because of the gambling we could get any. with gambling we can become rich quickly. but it all comes at a cost. gambling also can make us fall into poverty. gambling is very high risk.
