Gambling is very addicting I really think its because the money, people hear that you can earn big money with it and I think that is why they are playing.
Plus at the end when they are gambling they cannot stop if they won once.

Gambling is not addicting by itself, it's not that you can't gamble just for fun from time to time without becoming addicted. Greed of those who gamble is making it addicting mostly. Do not be greedy and gambling will not be addicting.

Well I think that is not a problem because if a person is really greedy I think he is already addicted to gambling and not controlling his bets is the one problem a gambler can make because of his addiction he became greedy with every bets he make.

He will become more greedy if wins it big in first round, he will be having a strong feeling that he can win again and that greediness will lead him to the addiction.

I think It will only lead to that if he doesn't know the risk in playing gambling and I think that yes he will be very greedy in his first run to play it, but a person who is really addicted to gambling is already greedy in mostly any time that he/she plays.


Yes the greedy ones dont really put in their minds how many money they lose in gambling they only count how many money they got when they play in casino and the more they profit the more they get addicted to it.

I personally think that most people start to gamble because of being bored, lonely and unhappy. Gambling solves almost every problem, because gambling is so intense, it inevitably makes you forget everything, just my opinion tho. Cool

gambling creates many problems and not solve any for gamblers. it may make you forget everything, doesn't mean everything actually vanishes, it's still there and will slap your face again when you're sober.

I do not think its because of the loneliness also because the fact is that gambling is most likely just addicted because of the enjoying parts it has and I also sometimes play it even with friends online...

Gambling can be good fun but of course there are boundaries the player should set for themselves and when those boundaries are crossed, that's when it can get messy
That's exactly the problem. Most gamblers set limits for themselves so gambling can be fun for them. On the other hand, many from those people usually go beyond their limits and then start to go mental. Some wouldn't even stop betting until hey have LITERALLY nothing left to bid.

Gambling should not wear limits but should be eliminated so that people do not know that can hurt this game.

Another reason why people become addict in gambling because of the thinking to become rich immediately and when lose, they will not stop playing until those lost money will return back.
and then all their money vaporized because of gsmbling...

It's just another hormones reaction in your brain...

When you lose, your brain feels cheated and want to try until you win. When you win your brain is happy and want to experience winning again. Repeat.

Gambling is just so addicting because its for people easy to bet with digital money, you do not really see the worth of it and its also enjoying.
These 2 reason makes it very addicted and also very hard to stop with it in my opinion.
Gambling is addicting as well as a place for one to lose everything overnight. It's enjoying, but I don't see any reason for anyone to addicted to it since it is an absolute waste of time. If you are looking to make some money, then get a job instead.

Gambling is very addicting this is caused by the fact its easy to earn money with it in a relative short time if you have luck of course.
If you do not have this luck its gonna be very difficult of course.

I do not think people are getting addictive because of the profit they can make, I think they are getting addicted because they are enjoying gambling and later on get addicted, its similar as a game addiction.

What makes you enjoy gambling the most is the money involved. People loves money and winning it easily thru gambling makes them addicted to it. Easy money is really a good reason to get addicted to gambling. But when you started losing, it will easily be the source of miserable life.

yeah people are more wasteful when they hold the digital money when they are holding a banknote. of course it will feel reluctant to gamble so if you want to get out of gambling. Withdraw all your btcoin to banknotes. dont in digital money like bitcoin

Gambling is addicted because when you start betting your bitcoins and won some coins you get greedy even if you cashout that won amount you will start with double amount on the next day and so on . There is a way out when you lose the big amount like 1k$ or so you got busted and stop gambling . 1k$ is enough for me to stop gambling when i lost that.

Gambling to me seems to be like a disease. Once a person starts gambling, looks like he will continue doing the same for the rest of his life. The main reason behind the addiction is the greed that gets into ones head after a small win. There is always a feeling that he will win more and in case he loses he wants to recover whatever he lost. The process continues a cyclic pattern

Gambling is not addicting by itself, it's not that you can't gamble just for fun from time to time without becoming addicted. Greed of those who gamble is making it addicting mostly. Do not be greedy and gambling will not be addicting.
Gambling and addiction is a perfect combination, and it is good for the casinos. If you don't want to be addicted to gambling, then simply leave the site right away. It is simple, if you are only playing for fun you will not be addicted to it. Besides, you must have self-control too.
Absolutely right, but addiction is applicable only to those who have the traits that the transfers and want to win themselves. Gambling depends on gambling, they treat If they treat gambling because greed is sure they will get addicted to it and so did the opposite. And the most important is self-control
Greed is the biggest concern, IMO. Because it lures people to gamble more as soon as after they win a single bet. They'd said, "Hey, I never knew that earning money is easy through gambling.". But as soon as they gamble more it is already too late to realize it.
yes its true people getting greediness after they win a big profit, but in the after they lose everything they realize.
They will realize about it, yes. But why would you think that they will not try to recoup their losses? Most of the gamblers will try to recover their losses once they lose and eventually lose more than what can be imagined by them.

Gambling is just so addicting because its very fun to do if you ask me to be honest I do not gamble a lot but if I do I gamble for hours.
So I think its really because of the enjoying part.
