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..

you're right, a win in gambling will make the appeal of gambling is higher, even if the person is experiencing huge losses, it will not stop them

Gambling is very addicting because its enjoying to play and you can win money.
Many people think they can win get rich by it buts its the opposite of it.

yeah, most of those people who are addicted to gambling are positive that they will win big soon, so they risk every penny they have and sometimes lend money so they could bet longer but it is really the opposite that always happens..

Gambling is so addictive because many people sees gambling as a game. They like it to do and they think they can some earn money with it.
But they realize later that they lose more money then they win some money and that will be not so good.

You are 100 percent right. That is indeed the reason. They like it to do and after they play then they cry because they lose so much money.
You all must know that gambling is very bad and that is not a game to be rich. If you want to be rich you should just work hard.

I think it's like taking drugs, they know that it won't do them any good but gamblers will still continue. They have the same 'high' feeling I guess.

gambling addiction is a form of mental addiction while abusing drugs will have physical need which leads to addiction on top of the mental need.

so i guess quitting gambling is going to be easier because you only have to discipline yourself.

it's seem easier, a lot, that's why ppl underestimate it, well, like u have just underestimated it, and that when it turns out to be much more dangerous.

That's part of it's nature and why people keep using it overtime, I think it is related to adrenaline and the desire to make more all human have, it's extremely addicting in a way that make it hard to leave like smoking or alcohol.

I suppose one of the main reasons is the illusion of getting rich quick and when you do win you think next time if I put in a little bit more then you will win more. It is an addiction that is hard to kick for sure.

Yeah, its that people want to get rich fast and they think they will by gambling.
But in the most cases it will not happen because its luck you need.

Well, gambling is addicting once you win big and you win consecutively. But once you taste defeat and get nothing out of gambling, you will feel that all of it are wrong and you should've just saved that money instead of depositing it in a gambling site.

in the online gambling sites, will only enrich the site owner. However, sometimes there are online gambling sites that could benefit us

It depends on win/lose we make they(the owner) rich or not, then back again how much you earn from gamble.

People sees gambling as a game or something. Everyone like it to do and I think the most people are addicted to it. But that is normal I think.
It is fun to do, but you dont have to be greedy. If you are greedy than you will lose a lot of money, because you cant stop playing.

But the most people lose more money then they win money. They are poor in just a time and they realize it later that they lose a lot of money.

yeah in fact they are just wasting their time. they will not be able to become rich by gambling. but they still believe that a mere mortal

That's true,, in hoping to get rich, they try to risk in gambling and then lost it all, they would repeat it again and again not knowing that little by little their one foot is buried already in debts and in gambling addiction..

You are all right. I think the same as you. It is stupid to realize it later that you have a lost a lot of money. People must think that gambling is very bad.
But we cant help those people. The must know it by themselves. I hope later that people will understand what kind of risk gambling has.
