Gambling is addicting if u win big at your first stake and if u win on second attemp on gambling. But in another try you lose big you will get hook to it cause you want to recover your lose and you didnt notice your losing to much.

Yeah your three point above are true and should touch every addicted gambler.
A desire to have money more than their own current money with fun way are deadly sick ruin everyone life. That's what I feel why gamble so addicting. Sometimes i call Money gaming .....

One more I think is the greed to get something faster without a single drop of sweat. It can also be the need for an emergency money. They will gamble it instead of just using it as a half payment.

i'm sure gamblers drop their sweat a lot: when they bet and wait for the result, when they lose and think about their dark future, when they are in dues, when they face the choice of having to do illegal things...

Too many people are addicting to the bitcoin these days and this is because they are thinking they can win a lot of money in a short time.
This is in most cases the opposite when they do this they also get addicted and this is because they are really enjoying it because games are fun too play no one can deny that of course.

There are a lot of people that like to gamble, and that is quite normal because many people is doing it, but it is not good to addicted to it and that you must everyday play that is bad.
You also should know that if you are losing in gambling that the money that you spended is all gone, some are not realizing it.

Gambling is addicting because it is exciting and fun when you win.  It is weird because almost everything that is exciting and fun is addicting....But, what is wrong with being addicted to something that brings us pleasure?  Should we give up all things that we're addicted to because we have too much fun?  I'm addicted to paying my bills on time but that's not fun....should I give that up too?

I'm just being weird here....In reality, if something we're doing is causing us to ignore our personal values, morals, or responsibilities then there is a problem and we should stop.  But, if we are addicted to a thing and we are not ignoring our standards of responsibility then it should not be a problem to continue the behavior---if we enjoy it.  Some people just don't like seeing other people have fun in life....that's all!
it is really no problem if we hooked because we also revel in gambling. I agree with you it does not matter, but the problem here is if they always lose in gambling and became addicted, it would hurt the people closest such as family, friends and even herself without him knowing. Well, but if it's just for fun I guess it does not matter

See, that's exactly what I was thinking.  My wife has her house, her car, her pets, and all her pretty things.... always.  Yet, she constantly complains and urges me to quit gambling. Sometimes I think that it's because she thinks that I'm enjoying life too much.  But I know that all she really wants is for me to invest all my money so that she will get to spend it all once I die; that's fine.  She can have what's left.  But what good is my money to me if I can't enjoy it while I'm alive?

EDIT:  I'm not a losing player but I am sure that I could get a better return for my dollar if I invested in something else like she wants me to do....but that is like work so it is not fun for me!
Almost all of the addicted gambler started with just for fun, but then it became a serious matter. Well, it can be avoided if you know how to limit yourself.

You can believe what you want, but women's are better at managing money than the men. Your wife complains and urges you to quit gambling because it is for your own good or perhaps she wants to spend more time with you. Who knows? By any chance, your wife is materialistic? Because she sounds like one, from the way you described her. No offense, though.

Yes! well I think that he has a great partner who's always there to guide him in every spending he will make and I think that is a good choice and if you can't handle the spending let your partner handle it! at least that way spending on gambling can be control.

It is addicting because the most of us think that you can make some good money with it and we also like it to do.
Actually that is really bad, because you will get addicted to it and you cant stop and that is not good, you must know that you also have to stop with it.
Otherwise you can lose a lot of money with it if you play wrong.

This is the technique of gambling games, organizers will allow one player to win gambling, then the next game he was draining the player.
organizers will allow?  do you mean operators can fully control the system on where they make the gamblers win one time and make them loss after all. No dude they arent cheating, thats a common in gambling. After their win they are lossing because its not profitable in the long run.

People just love the excitement that comes with gambling and of course that you can win some money.
And if you have tasted success in the past with gambling it's very hard to stop.
Yeah thats the only reason why addicted gamblers love it, because they have ever won and they thought that they are pretty luck in gambling, so they always gamble even they got lose after that.

Gambling is always like that right? Sometimes you will be at bottom and sometimes you will be at top so you never know how long you will stuck on that position unless you keep trying and need some control inside you or you will never make it back
But once the gamblers makes a top (winning some profit), they started to keep on gambling to repeat their winning and getting struck with it even after many losses. Aiming for big profit and ignoring losses is the reason for addiction towards gambling.

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?
im pretty sure that its the scenario where the person wins something big that keeps them coming back to gambling making them addicted.

he is at the other scenario of loser that lose continuously and get addicted from it, not the big win case. i doubt he has ever won anything in gambling.

Because it's basic human nature and human instinct thus gambling is designed to take advantage of this. You see the inners and the glory and fast cars and beautiful women and you want it too so you gamble.
