There was a study done a few years ago regarding gambling. And what the study confirmed was that if you go to the casino for the first time and win, you have a 50% greater chance of becoming addicted if you go to the casino and either no make anything or lose money. Its because its an addiction.

It is very true, cause if you win the first time, you already believe that this method is going to work and you also believe you will be lucky again. So you will come again.

Yes, when anyone win money on their first visit or try surely they will be more existed and would like to repeat same again and again. But after losing money more than what you won then one should realise it that gambling is not for making money. Anyway if it is fast and free money then mostly no will not control themselves without trying their luck. Free and fast money is the most important thing for gambling addiction.
The greediness of the gamblers and the incapacity to accept defeat are the main reason why they are addicted with gambling. Same with life, if we are not contented we push and push our selves to achieve more and we know for a fact that anything excessive is bad.

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.

yup, and the feeling that you are risking your money to gamble. It is like why some people like to do extreme sports because of the extreme feeling you will feel.

The main reason is the potential outcome. Getting a lot of money for very less effort/time spent. But the more you lose the bigger your understanding will rise.
People will have to feel the hard way.
in gambling income is not much, but if you are fortunate indeed to be a very satisfactory result.
should work hard and not looking hard way

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.
Yeah, they need medication in order to stay away from the addiction of gambling just like the addicts of cocaine need doctors and medication in order to leave the addiction of cocaine, it will benefit hem very well.

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.

Because we are so greedy and we want to make money in simpler ways without hardwork. even though we know wel loose btc in gambling we do it again and again. may be we must exchange our btc to fiat money or store in in cold storage if we think we need a break and we dont have control on gambling.
This is a near perfect description of why gambling can be addictive.
The human race is greedy big time and the thought that you could win more money than you have is irresistible to some and especially the greedy ones.

All sites should have a nominated cashout amount that each player can select and once/if reached it get automatically withdraw to your nominated account., only an option not mandatory.
That should also have max deposit that players setup before play. Its easier to set a limit before you start playing.

Indeed they have to feel it on the hard way and I think they are also getting addicted because they can win money in a relative short time without doing too much, compared with other gaining money methods.
Gambling will be only addicting to people that cant control themselves and that is because they want to earn some money with it but that is actually almost impossible.
So they are losing money and that is bad, to win money in gambling you need to be really luck and that happens not that often.

Not that some gamblers are greedy, I think it's more like they have been attached to gambling because it gives them extraordinary feeling when they win even if they know that it was not yet in their pocket to consider as profit. I think that's one thing that keeps them trying over and over again..

That's already given, gamblers are lazy, they want to earn instant money but in reality that is almost impossible. When we are gambling the advantage is not on us because the house set the rules and we are just following theirs, if the house feels they are losing they will adjust it in favor of them. You need to be smart to win actually, and that make the gamblers addicted because until now they are experimenting methods on how to win. Grin
