"God Syndrome"

The thought of being the speical one, thinking yourself as a prophet or a god... Winning 10000000$ from a 1$ ticket, beating all the odds, beating the life itself, gaining the immortality. That is what gambling offers Smiley

I feel like the reason behind people get more and more addicted to gambling is because they've got friends in the casino and they sort of make the casino as their meeting place. They consider playing cards and gambling as their 'hang-out'. Just the peer pressure of your friends, basically, of gambling makes it so addicting.
Thats why a casino want to hire a friendly moderator who has good communication skill and can guiding the players patiently, so its comfortable for players to play there. But I'm not sure thats the reason why gamblers become addicted, since the only thing they want is profit, not a friend Cheesy


Well, in psychology if a human being feels safe in a place, then he'll come back again for sure. If they have a friendly mod then a lone gambler can finally have a "friend". And of course, that "friendly moderator" isn't just friendly. There's a manipulation going on there. If the mod is a girl, she might flirt with guys and if the mod is a man, then he can do some manipulation stuffs with girls. As simple as that. Just an intuition, though. I don't own a casino so I'm not sure.


You are still gambling because you want to capture the feeling of excitement all over again,when you are gambling you are very much alive your heart beats fast very fast and you are very ecstatic when you win,so you will come back again and again to capture those  feelings and you don't care whether you win or lose..
You only realize it when you lost at the end. In the middle of gambling there is really a feeling of excitement that sometimes you cannot control yourself. The demon always dictates us to bet more to win more, and in the end we lost our winnings including our bankroll. It is really sad that we have to learn our lesson the hard way.


Simply put it like this, when you are in a winning streak it's like you're in a jail cell. The door is open and anytime you can leave. But you don't, because you thought it will stay open forever, and you thought you will still have a winning streak.

Then after some time, you lost all your money, you wanna get out of the jail cell, but you can't. It's now shut. You can't get out of the fact that you are now bankrupt.

I hope you guys get it 'coz my explanation skills is kind of bad. Cheesy

If the television, gambling is a game of rich people, but in the presence of gambling on the Internet, everyone can follow gambling games, which makes it into a gambling addiction.
Nowadays you can easily access gambling sites in the internet by the use of bitcoin, even a 7 year old can play dice or sports betting. It really addicting especially if you cannot control your self, minors can be prone to this type of addiction too due to their inexperience.

This is why it is verry adicting because you see monny but not your negative profit

Gambling is a trap

Depends on how you see this thing as. Some people keep playing it because they know one day he will recover their loss. And know when to stop is not available for addiction because untill someone drag them there is no way you could get out easily.

Gambling never asks you to get addicted with it, gambling is doing its own duty but the fact is that we forget what is good and bad for us and we keep on gambling for quick money.

Most people lose more than they will ever win in their hole life. They stay gambling because they think they can win back the money, its a big mistake.
Big mistakes of the majority because gambling is a serious business and if to take it the opposite way you will not be successful on it. Just do sports betting, its the only form of gambling where we can have a decent chance of winning.

Gambling is a business if you have some investment there or may be you are part of them, if you just play on gambling I dont think that is a serious business. Sport betting sure is profitable like most people said but only if you can manage to gather some information, if you are lack of information I dont think that you can get a good profit
It is a business but not for players, only for those who are the owners of those casinos, while the players come there to get some entertainment. With gambling one can earn his/her living who are the owners of casino.

Yeah but that is for offline casino. But for online casino you can make some investment at particular site but you are not stupid enough to play again on your investment site because this will get you no where

Gambling is addicting because of the nature of it. You always feel that you're the king of the world and your luck is infinite. It's definitely a good thing to keep away from.
King of the world, that's the statement, seriously if you are winning in a day you feel flattered and you already think that you can bet the house, spend your winnings in useless things and then tomorrow you go back and gamble again then lose everything. That's the saddest truth of a gambler who are not discipline enough.

Exactly it is true Addicted Gamblers are there to make profit. all most who all addicted gambling they are in loss only expect some people so they will play for there loss daily if by chance they are making money in any game means it's not at all possible to quit in middle because luck daily not come. And one more thing the Gamblers mind will not listen this if they start betting they want to loose all money else casino time will get over till that they will play.

That's true, the addicted gamblers gambling activity is like in a loop, if they were bankrupt, they will start again and optimistic in winning back, and when they win, they become greedy...

I think that happens to most of players. Simply we need to learn how to play, and to learn to play we all need to play. That means we need to pay for our education. When we overcome this bad characteristics only then we can expect more from gambling games.
I'm talking about patience, self-control, to learn when to stop and cash out... I gamble a lot and still I have moments when game takes me and I forget about it, its moment when I think that I can make fortune easily.. I lose everything after that.

I'm still learning how to play. I lose, win... its the game. But when I lose in most cases I see my own mistakes, its like I'm repeating myself.

For me gamling is addicting just because the excitement and profit's when we win makes the addiction begins ,but when we loose the greed exceeds to be gamble again .its just the earnings that makes us addicted.

In gambling, people loose more than they win. The reason people keep on gambling is because of the losses. The winnings might be small and once in a while one hits a big win, therefore, some of us are addicted because we have lost a lot and we are anticipating that there will be one lucky win which will cover the lost coins. that is how addiction in gambling beginnings
That addiction thing has really brought bad effect unto our life. If we are addicted we cannot thing wisely and just bet with our emotion hoping to win back our losses. Until such time we are able to take back our overall losses then gamblers will still gamble most of the time and the saddest thing to know it already becomes a bad habit that impact their lives negatively.

I think that is not addiction will begin in just that one lost, actually we can't know for sure when is someone is gonna become addicted to something and it will be never be anyone will know for sure because addiction will start like a thief in the night you will probably don't know it.
