Well i believe most of the people over the world like to earn money,the pleasure to be at something that may get you to realize that wish,knowing that can loose but the pleasure comes with the opportunity to make a good income this way.

the problem is when they lose they bet with a bigger amount to recover the loss and then when they lose all what they have they will collect more and bet even bigger and the story will continu in that way.
the loss will get bigger and they want to make money so bad and then they will become addicted.
so it is all about losing not the plesure to win.

That all a question about marketing,when you go shop and see some product of 0,99 and another 1,00 which one you will buy?
Gambling show you the potencial income betting xxx ammount,lets say 1 btc,and you can make 20btc with one single bet,you will try to hit that ammount or the 1.05btc knowing that you can loose the 1btc.These market works a lot with prizes,pot,that make us believe being able to get it,the thing is how much do we have to loose to be able to reach those pot,knowing that you may loose all and get nothing,there is no sure what may happen the same way as loteries,being the huge diference that your ods at gambling are bigger.

I don't know why would gambling addicting... You just lose more money than you win, there is no reason to be addict on it. Play just what you are disposed to lose, for fun and everything will be fine.

First problem people do not go for gambling only with the money which are affordable to lose. When they face loss, they start to chase down their losses and keep on gambling. When you are spending more time with gambling it will become definite addiction.

Yes, if you consider gambling only for entertainment then there is no possibilities for worrying for your losses and there is no need to recover it. Hence we can avoid gambling addictions.

Gambling gives you fun and that is good for you, but you must also know that there are also some bad things of gambling and that is that you can be poor of gambling if you are doing wrong and that would be not good.
It is so addicting because there are a lot of people that is thinking that they can be rich of it but that is not true.

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?

I think you are addicted because you know that there is a chance that you can win some money and you want to win of course. Most people get addicted after they have experienced a win and they want to relive that moment.

I think not only experienced victory just to become addicted. defeat can make you become addicted because usually if you lose in the beginning. you will feel upset with the defeat and attempt to try to get your money back. so you will automatically become addicted after gambling

On the first hand Bitcoin is addicted because people like it to do and that is quite also good because it give you fun and that is very important for your morale.
People also think that you can be rich with gambling, but that is a wrong mindset, they must know that the chance will be higher that you are losing money than earn some money.

gambling should play with a cool head, if you experience a loss should think again to regain those losses.

It is true and I agree with your recommendations. But I always have the name lost control when I suffered a major defeat and the end of it I actually lost all my funds. But now I've learned that gambling is indeed very easily conquered with a cool head. and now I'm starting to get back my natural losses.

Gambling can be addictive to some people who have a tendency to pick up habits easily like smoking drinking etc. while others do it just for fun. If you feel you have problems with gambling it's best to seek immediate help and ban yourself from accessing your online gambling sites accounts.
Compulsive gambling can be really destructive if no precaution is taken to alleviate the issue immediately.

Yes gambling in the starting will appear as a habit. But after some time it will become an addiction by creating many problems to the gamblers. Due to these problems many gamblers forced to stay always within gambling. Staying away from the gambling is the only way to protect ourselves from gambling addictions.

Actually every act depend on your self determination for doing it or not.

But yes it ever happen to me when I'm earlier known bitcoin first time, I'm bet and I win a lot. Because of my greed, I'm keep betting until I got loss.
Altough get loss, I feel something addicted that makes me want to gamble again and again but I can control myself for good

It is true, but many of us are addicted to gambling can commence from wanting us against other gamblers who get such a huge victory, and it makes us insistence on and wanted to play in the game that he attended, but because we want to know and we don't have the science of gambling, it backfired for us and end up losing

Yeah for the first time you can make lots of profit but because of greedyness you will still keep betting to make more money but the result all lose because of greedyness.. and then because you win a lot in the first time you will still try and you will comeback again to play and try again your luck but result lose again until you think that you should need to get your all lost in gambling thats why people are addicted because every day they are playing want to play and make a profit for the first time but in the end you are thinking to get your all lose..

Yeah people have to try to understand and have to use their sense rather then to become crazy, they shoul, after their victory, have to think that now they have won enough and have to stay aware that it is enough for till now. While if they lose then they will have to understand after a few losses that they are unable to survive their money at there and have to withdraw from there.

I do not gamble a lot but I think I know the reason why they are addicting to such gambling games and all.
I think these people just want to play a game, and if you like a game its will most likely get addicted, plus the fact is that you can also earn money with it.

You are right. But the problem is, many people is hard to control their anger when their bets is loss. So they bet more to get back their loses, but it's make they get more loses and become addicted.

Yes failing to control our emotions will lead to gambling addictions. We do not get anger or emotionally tensed towards any losses while playing gambling. When we loose our control towards our emotions which will lead to gambling addictions.
