Betting is like cocaine

They both have psychological effect on a person...

but gambling is not as bad as cocaine, in gambling when you are addicted, you know that you are addicted and yet you can't get out, while cocaine's result might be like that of a person who never sleeps for one week, he is in paranoia, he can't judge the truth from imagination anymore..

Gambling is addicted because of the point you can win a lot of money, so you want to win big.
This will not happen of course but that's the mind of the people that are addicted.

i think gambling addiction is usually one of two mainly things, knowledge that you have won before, and can gain again

You are 100 percent right. People think that they can earn some money or they even think that you can be rich with gambling.
If they win a little they cant stop because they want more and more. And that is not good. Everyone should control themselves.

No it's not. Cocaine affects your body's chemical balance while gambling fools you by playing on your dreams. You don't physically need to gamble just keep thinking about it. It's really easy to stop.

then advice how to stop, because when gambling not personally but i have seen lot of people have cocaine and lot of others substances to keep them not sleeping or have lot of cigarettes when stress out of gambling

Well I'm not sure about that you know? Betting might change your body. I don't know anything about it yeah but maybe the hormones produces do the same things as some drugs on you ^^

you are right

So in other words, it still affects your life like a drug because of the dopamine that makes you come back for it again and again. The effects psychologically are almost similar, imo.

Simply because you have the feeling you CAN win, no matter how low the chances are.

This pretty much sums it up for me, you always expect a different outcome, you just expect that "this time will be my lucky time", and you do this a million times and you are still not satisfied even after winning a decent price, I think only the jackpot could make you feel like you are done with gambling for a while.

Precisely, lol. I won hundreds times and I am lucky all the time and thought that if I keep betting maybe I will be richer than Bill Gates. But the last bet of that day pretty much change everything in a click. Bill Gates still richer than most of us.

Gambling can be addicting because of the chance and feeling you can win real money, its also that its fast so they think they can win money fast with no losses.
Its funny because the most people will lose a lot because they think like that, at the end they will all have debts.

Simply because your brains think you are the choosen one e.g will win.

i don't think i'm the chosen one. i know i'm the chosen one. i am the chosen one. i will win, not just some shitty win, i will win big.

Gambling is so addicting because people like it to do. And it is fun to do. But they lose a lot of money.
People think that you can earn some money with gambling, but that is not true. They lose more money than they win money.

consider this that for some people this is sport or job
they have systems that get them income reading and following everything for this is for me waste of time

I think people like it because it is a kind of game. They like it to do, and I think the most people like it. But the most people can control themselves.
The most people that are addicted to gamble must control themselves, I think that is the best option or they must find a distraction.

Hmzz, I think you still don't have an interest in gambling and you are more concerned with a sure thing and not an uncertain things like gambling. but gambling has a space that contains a treasure trove of filth and if you could enter the venue certainly you will profit a lot. Keep in mind, if you want to do gambling you should have an understanding of gambling and games that you will use, you must observe the path of the last game and you have to make a strategy from your observations. And after that use the strategy well and structured + wear a clear mind and don't use ambition

The thrill of winning once makes people just want to keep doing it and doing it even with rapid losses.

Winning "beginners luck" is I think a lure that makes everyone think that it is easy to win in gambling, that results to gambling addiction if not controlled..

Not just it, gambling provide a fast way to earn money. But people mostly forget about "gambling provide a fast way to throw money" part.
So for people who won in gambling they will never stop because they already knew how good winning in gamble. Until big lost happened to them they will regret do gamble.
