Gambling is addicting because some people are easily filled with greed and the easy money that these guys can get for a short time with gambling makes it more a reaso for the to stick up with gambling. They can only see the possibility of winning an tey can't notice that they are also most likel to loose.

If you profit from it i wouldnt call it addiction...
But if you have a losing streak and you sell what you own or you get loans just have some money to gamble then that is addiction...


addiction or not, it has a completely different method from u to decide, i think. it an inside problem, not outside like profit, win or lose, loans, money,...

Gambling is addictive because it feels like a game, but with money. People only see the dollar signs when they win once, and not the debt they have accumulated the other times. We see the "high" point as so easy and achievable but can't stop ourselves when losing.

Gambling is so addicting because people see it as a game. And I think everyone likes it to do. But the most important is to control yourself.
If you cant control yourself than you will be poor in just a time and that wont be good. I hope later that more people will realize that gambling is very bad.

Sportsbetting or playing poker can be really profitable if you have the skills.

There are gambling games that need more skill than luck.

Gambling can be addictive but can also be very beneficial if handled well. Excessive gambling will lead to excessive losses. So if you want to benefit from gambling, then you have to take the small profits you bet instead of staying in the casino.

The simple reason must be the human nature. All human usually temp to all attractive things. The most entertaining thing which also provide the promise of getting rich in quick period must attract any common man which may end in addiction too.

Well said. Gambling becomes addiction just due to the fact that of it's easy money making method. We are looking for money making idea when it comes with the flavor of easy task then many people do not want to leave off it. That is the reason they are sticking with gambling and getting addiction to it.

Indeed, gambling is so addicting because of the money you can win with it.
People are getting blind because they see money they can win and they think than can win easy and make profit easy.

and don't forget about the thrill that you can get from gambling, the risk alone makes the game interesting and thrilling so that is a bog motif for getting addicted to that thrill.
I think that when you like gambling you will become addicted so there is nothing else

u think it too simple and negative, i mean too narrow, that it's wrong. u think about it like a calculation with only one result, but it's actually has multiple outcome.
Gambling is very bad to do. But the most people like it to do and that is not good. You must control yourself and that is the best thing.
If you gamble you must play with small amount, so you will lose not that much money.

And you have also fun. Best thing is not to gamble....

Many people are very greedy and that is a bad property. You must dont think that you can earn some money with gambling.
You always lose more money than you win money. And you like it to do. But it is not smart to do it. You only need luck at gambling but you cant buy luck.....

Very true and correct. Many people who do use only the greed of gambling without the use of tactics or strategy. That is where the greed that have a very bad impact and can be problematic. Greed and ambition is key in the person's addiction. If they have their own ambition and greed are so great then he will have such a huge addiction. And if they have 2 of these traits is certain they will not get a victory and she could get just a very large defeat

Gambling is addicting because you can profit from it...
The chance that you will earn money if you are good at it makes it addicting...

Yep. Because there is the hope that you can profit from it big that makes you go back to it over and over again even though you already lost quite a fortune on it. There also comes a time when you will ask for a loan just to cater your gambling needs.

Everything where you can get free money, be it little or many, can be addictive.
People tend to act different when there is money involved, Which is sad right.

Quite right. But that makes a lot of people become addicted to gambling is against they always wanted a victory and wants to win more than what he got. But the thoughts that transform the victory into defeat, because if someone is already controlled by ambition. Things that should have been either transformed into badness. And that makes them become addicted to is they want to win or want to restore the missing funds.

Gambling is addicting coz you can make money out of it...
You can also make a living out of it...
But this mostly like if you are a newbie and cant understand what you are doing then you will tend to lose money...

yeah gambling does give the possibility to become rich. Most newbie only see profits only, without seeing the losses and risks, so they play with their greed. and they did not know that already are in addiction
The more dangerous part of gambling addiction is, it will never let you know and realize your own addiction. People usually think themselves not addicted to gambling and simply continuing their gambling even after many losses.
When your main motto of participating in gambling is not achieved then there is no point in continuing it. If you're satisfied with your achievement with gambling then you can continue it.

Gambling is very addicting because its fun to play and also enjoying, some people forget they are playing with money.
Plus you also got the people that want to win their money back because they want to make profit.

Well you need to know that playing with money is very difficult and very frustrating if you lose your money but if you really like to profit keep on playing maybe your lucky this day if you play

but it would be worse if you continue to play and just wait for luck. at least you have a strategy and a good knowledge if you bet on sport gambling.

Yes sports betting is great if you know what team or who are you gonna bet on or who is leading if you know the player performance, because in other gambling platform there is no need for strategy it is all on your luck, but I think the only way you can lessen your losses is by keeping a safe zone on your money you will bet.

Yes for some reason sportbetting have a really good payout if you can gather good information there but there is still a chance you will lose although you have a good prediction out there but by keep your money on safe zone I dont think there is a good way to increase your money because our wallet is not bank that give you some percentage every month so if you want to get more and fast money, gambling is the only way

Same here, i'm also gambling on sportsbook. And if you addicted to gambling better addicted on sportsbook, because it's more fair than dice sites or other casino.

Well a lot of people are saying that sports betting is really safe, but actually it will only be safe if you are truly sure that the team or a person playing in it are much agile that the one on the other team for example on basketball everyone I'm sure a lot is betting for Golden State because they have set a record of a minimum losses this season. But if an unknown team that you don't know what is the potential of its player is then you can't say that your gonna win right?

Sports betting isn't really safe, however it's safer than dice and other betting games because it doesn't have a house edge. Usually, you wouldn't bet on an unknown team as you want to bet on a game that you are sure of winning. If you are good at predicting the outcome of soccer games, don't bet on hockey!
