Its basically that gambling is a repetitive thing like say practicing piano but you are getting a risk/reward aspect to it.
So as if you are learning the brain makes the connections stronger and stronger as you reinforce the habit,which makes it that much
more of a issue for you when you try to quit.
Seems to be a lot of people suffering from this due to age and development of the brain at this age.

Gambling is very addicting because its enjoying and people think they can make money fast and easy.
This is in most cases not gonna happen because you will need luck to win.
It's enjoying, unquestionably. Most of the time people are addicted to gambling because they think it's the fastest and easiest way to earn money without working. Most of them are wrong (obviously), and that is why there is a lot of gamblers are broke. It's fun, fast and easy, but it's not the ideal way to earn money.
of course it is not an ideal way to make money though if you get lucky enough you can easily make some good money out of it and maybe even make a living out of gambling

it depends on what type of gambling you like to play, if its poker you can definitely earn decent money from others

yes and once they lose few times.. they get frustrated and want to win it all back from one single bet.. but that never ever happens.

it happens a lot. in fictional products like movies, books, manga... since it makes them much more exciting. but they create a dangerous illusion about that one single bet to win all back.
Yes the money once is lost in a gambling is not to be thought to come back, but some people do not understand it and want it back to play again and again and so losing all the time he tries to play.

It is easy money and fast. But not every time of course because you can also lose money and that is really bad and disappointing.
We all like it to do, because you can see gambling as a game and that is quite good. But you have to know that you lose money.

self - restraint or self control is the key here . it not for gambling alone the human will addict everything he used to do in daily basis like internet for example or smoking or drinking .
All of them affect health and wealth include gambling .

Yes the addictions will give you fake confidence. The gamblers blindly believe and they themselves assume as a professional gamblers to keep on repeating their one time winning. The fake confidence is resulting into gambling addictions.
I'm agree, but actually not all of gamblers like that, some of them finally manage how to make a strategy before bet or learn the way to avoid big loss, and I prefer calling them as a experienced gamblers instead of professionals.

Actually strategy will never work except the pure martingale but you need a good balance and set a good base bet so you will not lose too much. And the real problem is on the odds, house edge and your luck. If you can counter all of these things, profit will come to you like a river  Grin

The people who design gambling games study people in order to get the best gambling rate from people.  The VLT, where the machine has to show you three matching cards, shows you many triples with two matching cards, many more such triples than would appear if the three cards were really independently chosen from each other.  The technique is designed to give people a false impression that three matching cards are more likely than they are.

P.S.  The number of gambling ads in the signatures in this thread makes me smile

Its of course to get some fun with gambling. But you have to control yourself, otherwise you will lose a lot of money and that cant be good.
You must play with some small amounts amount, so you will dont lose that much money and that is good.

the dopamine rush the gambler gets in the brain is so rewarding. it gets more and more reinforced whenever the gambler hits that certain high of those near-win jackpot situations.

Most people like gambling, and that is quite good because you can get some a lot of fun from it and that is good.
But they must also realize that if they will lose that it is all gone money and some people dont realize it and that is bad.
They think you can earn some fast money, but that is not true.

You can certainly get a lot of fun toward gambling but it can also cause pain and hardship and sometimes someones life, because instead of fun there will be risk and anger towards gambling

I will say in these words when someone keep winning or loosing both provoke the player to keep playing to win more if he is winning or to recover as next hand can be winning hand and he will not only recover his losses but also will make some decent amount.this practice of playing repeatedly makes person addicted to gambling.
Very good point, Its a double edged sword that cuts and cuts.
Most addicts are stuck on the theory to recover lost they will continue to play with the same goal of recovering lost they do not realize that their victory will not be able to cover the defeats and losses. because the losses would be even greater than profits

this one is good question
we are greedy people in nature so get some point on that
why we are greedy cuz we always want more
Thats true that they are not satisfied what they had  so they play and to have some fun and to double or triple their money and it turn to lose.. instead of earning it in a job they are want to gamble their money to make a huge money but resutl lose..
So thats why they are addicted.
Plus there is a thought circling around that with gambling there is a chance to boost up their income to 100x without any hard efforts , and so to achieve that target then continue till lose all his/her wealth.
Some lazy people who do not know how to earn their living and also do not dare to work for their earning so they start playing games to try to earn some money which is also a factor for addiction.

The most adictive gambling are te progressive slots, it's basically all I play lately if I want to gamble some extra BTC money that I may have and I don't plan to hold or invest. You start with a little bit and go on a rollercoaster with ups and downs, sometimes I was up 1 BTC from 0.1 BTC but ended up with 0 because I was too greedy.

How can progressive slot is the most addictive games? That games is the easier game to stop because after you hit some winning you will sure get some profit and it can stop by itself without us to concern the result but if you playing dice you can't stop because dice games will slowly increase your balance and if you set on auto on loss or on win this will make you suffer more of the loss

gambling is so addicting because of the money you can win with it. the risk alone makes the game interesting and thrilling so that is a bog motif for getting addicted to that thrill.

Gambling is so addicting because these people want to make profit and are so greedy that they stay doing it till they make it their habit.
Also another group is addicted due to the fact they enjoyed it and want this feeling over and over.
"habit" agree it is the key word, a lot of people who do gamble on every day, it makes them become accustomed to the gambling activity then they realized could not get out of gambling

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.
