Why is gambling addicting is in my eyes just because its enjoying and for some people profitable.
People also play it because they heard from as example a friend that he/she won and than they want to try it and get addicted because its also enjoying for a long time.

nothing can stop the addiction to gambling. only one who can stop that is when you have become a very rich man .

I can only guess that you have a wrong idea here. There are actually many ways to stop addiction not just being rich.
Even the rich people still gamble and it's just for fun for them. Rich people have a different perspective on money, It's very important for them. 

If money is very important to rich people, then why do they gamble? Just a thought. I don't mean it will stop.gambling addiction but I think those who got rich thru hard work and business will tend to get away from gambling. But thise who got rich thru gambling will still gamble because they are already addicted to it.

Those people who became rich because of business and hard work knows the struggle and what it takes in order to become rich. Those people who got rich thru gambling, on the other hand, just jumped their way up to the top.

You see the difference? That's why rich people don't gamble that much. It's because they know that the money they are throwing is the product of their hard work. Those people who got rich thru gambling just don't mind throwing some money because they just got it for free and easily out of gambling.

Another thing is that rich people who have done hard work are socialized and surrounded by other people who have no time to waste on things like gambling. Of course they will eventually have no time (or very little) for gambling. Those people who got rich thru gambling are surrounded by poor and rich gamblers. They will of course influence him to gamble even if he tries to stop gambling at some point.

An important aspect of quitting gambling is to find alternate ways to handle these difficult feelings without gambling like spending more time with your friends and with your family, have a quality time.
thats a good tip say to someone who's addicted to gambling
that he just must stop it. thats the most stupid thing i ever heard..


People are just throwing words like "Just stop", "Can you please just stop gambling?". If you're in the position of the gambling addict himself, you will realize that this is really really hard to do especially if the people around you are putting pressure on you and just expects you to stop right away.

Well, guess what? It's not easy to stop gambling. Once you got addicted to gambling, it will become your lifestyle. You'll go to casino every weekend, you'll get to know a lot of gamblers.

I believe knowing and/or with other gambling addicts is one of the main factors why gambling is so addicting. I bet not all the people in casino goes there just to play but they also go there to hangout with their friends.

i totally agree. those gambler alrdy treat gambling as part of their lifestyle. it is not easy to just stop, so they will need a lot of supports from loves one and professional help too.

most of the time you lose the first time and you want you're money back.
that's why gambling is so addicting no one wants to lose their money so they gamble gamble and gamble
till they think their even.
I think this is not that much correct but some people will like this. what i know means if gamblers loss there money in first bet if it is small they will play again but if they loss there bet with huge amount i am sure they will not play again because most of people will scare to play again. But who won there first bet they will never stop they will run behind profit but result is loss.

it is not about the amount or even winning first and losing second. even if they win small and lose after the addicting part will only happen if the person is susceptible to addiction.

it is some kind of a mindset that leads to addiction especially to gambling addiction, which depends on different personalities. that is why not everybody is a gambling addict despite the fact that we are all winning and losing the same way.

Gambling is addicting because it will let you think that you can earn a lot of money with it but that is actually not true because losing money with it is a higher chance.
But it gives you also a lot of fun of course but you have to know that it can really also cost a lot of money with it.

That's something that makes addicting. Specially gambling when you are enjoying it and experience to win some bucks. Definitely, you are thinking that you are lucky and have the possibility to win higher amount.
But that is not always a right thing to think about gambling.

Yah, Just like what i did just now, I lost my bet in PBA games (PHILIPPINE BASKETBALL) and I was planning to chasing and I wast tempted, it is really hard when you are already in the middle of gambling seems like you don't want to stop and keep chasing.

Gambling is addicted because there are a lot of people that is getting more addicted to gambling and that is because we all like it to do and that is the problem.

People that is gambling thinks only that the value will be more worth and that is the problem, they have to control themselves and know that losing money is a higher chance.

Some are addicted because they wanted to get back their loses,Some want more profits in it
profits to be earned in gambling chances are very small, just the luck factor that could affect these benefits.
I think not only people those who lost are experiencing addiction but many people are experiencing victory in gambling
also kept always gambling and betting ?

It also causes an addiction, But that's what we call greed. When he/she already won but still want more it will sometimes lead into loosing a lot more money. That's why all gamblers needs control and need to be satisfied on what they won.

There are lot of people said this gamblers need to control there mind set and they have to fix one amount before playing But why still gamblers loosing there money including me why because we not follow these strategy we try to follow this but once we loose or win money we will lost our control and will start betting blindly.
The strategy was already their now the problem is most of the gamblers cannot implement it especially when they are under pressure. Pressure of winning and losing, that is why it is advisable that one should practice controlling his emotions before gambling.

people who get the victory in the gamble we can count, but most everyone that gambling must have felt lost.

I think, whoever is thinking that people can win money from gambling is not fully correct because no strategies will work in gambling for the longer time so at the everyone will going lose it to the gambling house. So just use gambling for fun and entertainment and spend some limited amount which you can afford to lose. It is almost impossible to make money in the long run from gambling.

More that one is many, but still the majority of people whose into gambling experienced an overall lose in their gambling career. Therefore gambling is addicting because everyday it's a different games and scenarios especially when you are into sports betting. People always wanna gamble because they chase their losses.
