Everything in life is a gamble. Even our existence is by luck. That's what gambling is all about. The more a person gains and loses in a gambling game, the more he will want to do because he knows one day, he is going to be lucky and strike a fortune.

We are all thinking that but the chance is very small that it will happen.
I think its not lucky you need the right time/moment to win a fortune.

It is all about luck, you simple will loose money if you don't know when to stop.
My suggestion is to stay away, since you won't get a jackpot if u think that.

i don't like to deposit my bitcoin to gamble with them i use the free faucet just for fun so i don't see that gambling is so addicting you can controle your self or you will lose all Wink

Yes its a big problem in the whole bitcoin community, they gamble to much.
They will never get profit of the bitcoin with gambling, at the end you will lose all.

Personally i think most of the people who lost want to earn back their losing.
They play and keep playing until they don't have any more to gamble with.

In the end their addiction will ruin their life.

Indeed, this will happen for sure its just a matter of time.
Its a matter of time till the addiction will run their hole life, the will lose everything at the end.

Its very addicting because you can make money with it.
People see price tags and get blindfolded, its very wrong to gamble.

because it's entertaining and makes making profit look easy "it is not actually easy at all, even professional gamblers rarely make big profit"

gambling is entertaining, the fun is only temporary and protracted grief

yes this is just entertainment. I entrust my money just to have fun. if you win I'm happy and if I lose I will repeat again. Grin

Yes that's the big problem of people they repeat the step to gamble when they lose.
I think its very wrong to gamble if you start you can stop with it at all.

i think is addicting because it makes you feel in control, that you can win based on luck or skill and the idea of making more of something. but losing is a tough pill to swallow.

Feel in control ?
I doubt it, the only thing that's in control at gambling is that your luck Tongue

And losing is normal, the key of making money in gambling is know when to stop
Some people think they can recover their loss by gambling more and hoping to make more money
Which sometimes ended up with busted out of all their money Sad

So yea, i doubt if you are in control

It depends on how you see this thing as. Some people keep playing it because they know one day he will recover their loss. And know when to stop is not available for addiction because untill someone drag them there is no way you could get out easily. If you can control everything I am sure you will get good profit. Just maintain it for 1 month is enough to earn

where does that 1 month come from? from your own exp? then i think it is hardly going to work for other ppl. tons of ppl out there maintain it for years and still can't see a sign of profit.

They don't know. they HOPE.

Nobody just "recovers his losses". The main principle of gambling is that it'll just be losing money again.
You can't beat the statistic ^^

Most of us are addicted to gambling because of greed. Once you start gaining, even if you lose you still believe that you are going to be lucky and win big. The cycle just repeats itself.

Its so addictive because the profit you can make is very attractable.
Most people do not think about the consequences that are involved by gambling.

it is just the addiction to thrill. since gambling is bringing the players some kind of rush, it is so addictive for people to seek that rush. also the hope for winning and getting rich is an illusion that makes people desperate to spend more and more money in order to maybe win someday.

I believe the thrill of gambling is only when you are aiming for profits. So, basically gambling thrill is just because of achieving some huge profits out of your bankroll. All easy money making ideas will addict all human. If you come out of aiming profits, you may get rid of those addictions.

I am sure it has been said, but it's the dopaminergic release when you risk life/homeostasis/resources.

Think about it -- how much do you care if all that's at risk is $0.00001. What about 1 BTC? Yeah, a little more risky to your survival, right?

The dopamine connection is reinforced by the fact that I am way more into gambling when I have my adderall prescription filled.
