People see gambling as a game I think. They like to do, so it is honest.
But they also think above all that they can get rich.
yes you're right, most people look at gambling as a game, and it can become a habit for them regardless of the risks that will occur in the future

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.

u start with sport and end with cards, what is that supposed to mean? u mean u lost with sport betting but make money with cards games or what?

Gambling is very addicted because you can make money fast.
Plus you can also make a lot of profit by gambling but its of course risky

Yes. The terms "fast money" is what lures people into gambling, especially if you can do that with ease. Most wins can be achieved within a couple of minutes to hours and because of that, people come back to it and see it as another source of income (which is nuts.)

it is precisely the risk is higher than profits. so, it is better to play on the investment that has been trusted sites alone rather than follow gambling

Most people have strong values about not giving up easily, and not quitting when the going gets tough..
Some people also have very strong competitive drives.
These factors tend to work against gamblers, leading them to keep going until all of their money is gone...

I think gambling is so addictive because the fact is quite fun to do.

People find gambling as a game and that they must unlearn.

Because they include only money but lose it.

Simply we can say the gamblers will find their own some reasons to stick with gambling for his rest of life. The winner will become more ambitious and the loser will chase down the losses.

Addictions got its own way to take away someone's life. We have seen alot of people able to get out of gambling addiction however some could not because his curiousity of trying to win in the casino is bigger than his faith to stop gambling so as long as he has a penny left in his pocket then there is no way that he could stop

I actually remember learning about this at university. People gamble and when they win, the frontal lobe produces hormones that are almost like a drug. This is the reason why people gamble. It's not an obsessive behavior. Casino know  this and use it to their advantage.

gambling its a psicological trap, this game give to you adrenaline rush

Basically adrenaline will get stir up on exciting things. The hidden excitement of gambling is making huge profits. When you believe that you can make profits from gambling then you will end up in addictions for sure.

i'm also in the idea that the possibility or the dream to make huge profit is the base of the gambling addiction

If we would only lose money with gambling it wouldn't be addicting at all. The most dangerous situation is when you win in the begining of your gambling experience. This fact makes you think that you actually can win with gambling and here all the problems start.
Yes, most of the gamblers do make profits in their early days. Then we just want to repeat the same on rest of the life. Simply saying, sticking with gambling for whatever reason, ends up in addictions.

Yeah I agree with that. People tend to make some profit in early games, I dont know this is casino tactic or depends on our luck? But sticking to gambling is not the main reason why we become addicted. All people sure want to earn quick money thats why they never can get out from gambling after got some winning

winning and defeat will still make you addicted. because if you win of course you want to repeat it and when you lose you will continue to try to recover that loss. so whatever the outcome, we will remain addicted.

You are right. Both profits or losses in gambling will eventually result to addictions. Simply we can say the gamblers will find their own some reasons to stick with gambling for his rest of life. The winner will become more ambitious and the loser will chase down the losses.

Oh, if this is true, then probably when we enter a gambling house, or even a gambling site, they let us win "beginners luck" but really, they are just luring us..

If you win at initial stage then people feels that they can make some more money out of it, and they just continue to gamble until they don't loose everything, so gambling doesn't become addiction if you quit at a right time.

It is not addicting but it provide some extent of entertainment, always play gamble for entertainment , plus give some time within your daily time table, do not waste all your days in just playing and playing.
And if you are unable to win at paid games then try to play at trials and free games. It will give ypou knowledge and experience about a particular game.
