Gambling is so addicting, you need to control yourself. Sometimes I feel like if I don't have enough income I could find myself drowning in this addiction. I made a lot of mistakes during my gambling career before but luckily I learned from my mistakes and never bet more than I can afford to anymore. It's a slow process, you see you can't get everything you want with gambling money.
Sometimes you lose big and try to cover up your losses. That's the biggest mistake, you shouldn't play for covering your losses or you end up as a broke man. Don't let feelings confuse you, always know where to stop either you win or you lose.
Try to enjoy the game, don't play for living. I know some professional gamblers who plays for living and earn very good amounts but I know how they put in effort to do that. Especially poker type of games. You need a lot of skills and experience for that too. In the end some types of gambling could be so addictive, you have to know the limits.

I think gambling is so addictive because people love to do it. They also think that you can win a lot of money, but that's actually not true.
They realize until later that they have spent more money than they thought.

Yes you are very right. gambling makes all people addicted to always do so. Many people have the idea that gambling is quick to get huge profits, it is a statement that is true, But it also has a negative impact is so great, that you can lose all your funds if you do not have an experience or a good strategy for gambling.

true. in fact they do not see the risk. he had been blinded by wishful thinking for big profits in gambling.
I do not see addict love gambling, he only affected with a win and a big profit

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?

it is only because of that one time win.

you win once and after that you will be trying day after day to win again but after awhile you are just making up for the big losses that you have sustained!

Yes I think that is making you addicted, its the feeling you want again.
Plus its also that you think you will once again what will most likely not will happen.

Gambling is so addicting because its fun and enjoying.
Also the money you can make is fast money.
Plus its also that you wanna win a game to win back your money.

You are right indeed. You can indeed get a lot of money and fast money with it, but then you also need luck.
Many times you will lose more money than you win.

of course it is an addiction, sometimes we did not feel, if we are addicted to gambling,
if we are already feeling the win in the betting, we will try again, and again.
it may cause addiction

Human beings have different forms of addiction in day to day life. Everyone is addicted to an activity that he or she obtains pleasure while doing it. Some are addicted to cigarettes while others are addicted to beer. Some are addicted to sex while others are addicted to gambling. Therefore, it is the pleasure that is obtained while gambling that makes people be addicted to it.

Then I think the urge in playing games like this is like cigar or beer that people who's getting addicted to it in a form of self satisfaction and sometimes having so much problem and this type of things is the way they escape it, well that is being addicted to something is!

People like to do. And if you gamble the fact remains very addictive. Because I think that many people suffer from it.
If you gamble then they let you think you can earn lots of money with it. But I guess that is not so clear.

Gambling is since the beginning already addicting.

Not because its just fun but because you can make money fast.

The most people are just forgetting their family and friends.

Not Realizing that they had spent much money on gambling is too much of an addiction towards it actually and people think that if they win just once in gambling they can turn the tables like that very simple logic for a gambler.

addicting was happened when you won for the first time, it's such a new exprience, it's caused the feel to get more and more, trust me even when you win you just lose it again
It all depends what kind of gambling you do. I primarily do sports betting (eSports, NBA, NCAA) and I still have yet to go negative with my deposit. I put in $8, now am closing in on $30 by the end of tomorrow if all my bets go as expected. I've had losses, sure, but if you play your cards right you can make some fairly easy money. Just always do your research and don't be an idiot.

This is gambling, although you can get good research but if you are no luck you will still lose that game. You can't determined your game is a won game after you gather so many information because it is not a guarantee match, information is only to boost your winning chance

I guess a lot of people who think that gambling can make money or bitcoin that they have can be increased to twice that of the previous, so they are very keen to try and gamble until their money really adds up

that would be the start,  you'll bet and wait til it's doubled and win and soon when they fail, they'll try and bet until they fail again, so we'll find another way to get back our losses.. It then results to addiction..  Smiley

but the reality is the money they are not growing, even the money they are getting depleted and it makes people feel a loss

When people think of making quick money, they will always think of gambling. Announcement of people winning big through gambling is what motivates others to try and see if they can also win. Once a gambler, always a gambler. You don't just gamble once and stop.


hahaha,,, that's the truth...specially if  someone is desperately finding way to earn...and once become an addict he can never go out...  Smiley
