People see gambling as a game clear. They like to do and then they become addicted.
What they think is that they can earn a lot of money but that's actually not true.

It is exactly my mistake from yesterday.. Smiley
At the beginning i strat playing with little amount 0.01 BTC and i win x5 - 0.05 BTC. I should stop. But no! It is lucky day! hehe  no way! I lost 0.2 BTC
It is how work illusion of winning..
No, that is not illusion of winning, it is just another example of gambler fallacy. Your winnings were real, you just didn't know where to stop.
Knowing where is the time to let go, stand and go home is the most important lesson every gambler should learn if we want to earn money from gambling.

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.

I think gambling is so addictive, because people really just want more and more. They just can not control themselves and think but more money.
What they do not know is that they lose more money than winning.

I always feel addicted due to the reason that everyday I feel I will win and at the end , end up loosing.

Yes, that's exactly the point. You shouldn't think you'll win, ever. Especially when you already have an experience of ending up loosing. Any game is interesting only if you learn from your mistakes. Play safe and you'll be fine.

That's the nature of gambling like gambling, because it requires time to be used to it and adrenaline rushing causing increased desire to gamble during it as a part of it.

Gambling is so addicting because its also enjoying to do.
I think many people gamble because its fun but they don't look at the loss they are taking.

I think this is also the reason people start gambling and get addicted.
I think they get blind after they see money they can win.

because it give a feeling and a dream to win big, also in daily use we see a number of people who earn big and become rich within a few hours so wish appears in mind that we also become rich like that, using the same manner as the particular person used.

I guess because of greed people think that they can profit with gambling when practically 99% of the time the house wins hands down.

Also chasing your losses might be another big factor - After you lose you just put in more money each time, etc.

Mostly people want a easy and free money so they think only in gambling it is possible but in particle it is not. So either they win or lose in the bigging they will continue until they lose all there money to realize in gambling we can't make easy money. Easy money is the one make people to addict gambling.

Many people see gambling as a game. But if you do not see it.

It consumes only money and you are broke at one point.

But most people realize only afterwards and then it's too late.

Bullshit. If all gamblers ended up broke there would be nobody left to gamble.

that is the addiction part!

somebody who is addicted to gambling is going to keep coming back to gamble more and more of his money and as a result will lose more money. in some hard cases they would sell their house, take loans, etc to gamble.

also there is always people who are not addicts and gamble small and lose. and also new people who start gambling.

As I can say it is just matter of perception that someone think if the gamble he will broke, other say that if he keep on gambling they will get big winning though. No matter how you think about this two sentences there is no right and wrong. It is only on your mind, so believe each of them is up to you unless you can take the consequences it is ok
