People see gambling as a game clear. It is also their cozy and they think they can earn money.
But that's often not that they are losing more than they win.

gambling will make their lifestyle change.
those who have been addicted will just think about the money, money and money

yeah it's true, they will do anything to gamble again, such as borrowing money and selling anything around it

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.

People see gambling as a game. They think they can get rich with it. But that's actually not true.
They lose more money than they win. But they only realize it later and that is unfortunate.

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

Hah! Indeed. For some reason, I am very entertained with gambling websites.
It is not about the profits, maybe I just love numbers. Kiss

Nope, you're not in love with the numbers. But you are challenged to try your luck, and "adrenaline" it's the thing that make you addicted.
When you almost hit the max bet of your balance, the adrenaline in your body will pumped out. It's scary but after that you will want to do it more and more, even when you're not earn a good profit.

It is actually interesting point. Show me a professional who earned his money exclusively by gambling.
Because from what I could see none of rich 'gamblers' earned money from it alone. It seems that 'easy' money from gambling is an illusion after all.

Its addicting because its fun to do, and nice to win money.
People are getting blind if they see some cash on their screens.

And some people get tempted to bet when they see big odds, they dont care if the bet will end as a win or loose, but they just gamble in hope. I think odds matter less, if you win then it matters, if you know you will loose, why even care much for odds.

Quote from: ?? on ??

but if you have a lot of things to do in life, you will forget about it, working in real life could help. but if you have nothing to do with your spare times, you tend to divert and turn to gambling.

And that's why it's important for people who want to stop gambling to search for another time consuming activities to divert them away from it Wink

I suggest try to do a puzzle or crosswords, that activities tend to consume hours of your time and can actually help your brain

or maybe just play games with your friends for hours Tongue

Actually such activities like solving puzzles, taking part in quiz and such can give you control over your gambling , true. But the issue is you have to quit gambling also, if someone do activities like that and gamble to, tough to imagine him leaving gambling habits.

That's part of it, I think it's the adrenaline and the excitement, I don't like it when I lose money though.

I am not sure who loves to loose, so yeah we all are sad when it comes to loosing bets and money.
Gambling gives addiction when money is involved, if you want to avoid the addiction, play with free money or consider money as free.

It is not "cash" if it is still in the casino database. I wonder how addicted gamblers can be blind because of numbers on their screen.
Gambling is also a nice way to lose money too. Cash out as soon as possible after you won. Just an advice.

If you don't allow gambling to rule your world it's actually a pretty entertaining pastime if you play recreationally. Remember if you treat it like a hobby and not a job you can have fun while winning money. For example I have a little amount of money set aside for sportsbetting every week. My quality of life will not change if I lose it but I may have some fun and win a couple of drinks or some movie tickets for next Friday night blockbuster Wink

People see gambling as a game. They like it because they have fun.

No one is having fun with gambling, there is nothing fun in gambling if there isnt any money involved. There is some fun if you win in gambling but seriously no one is having fun when he lost but when you keep on winning that where the fun started therefore gambling is very addicting, once you won you will keep on coming till you busted everything

gamble games like poker or mahjong is still entertainment without money involves. even just watching other people play is exciting.

There's no excitement for me if you are just a watcher of the game its excitement if you are the one who play in the game and there's a thrill while playing but if you will be addicted on this game you lose or drain your money. Because of excitement and its fun you will be addicted on the game.
Thats why i think why people addicted also i think they are gamble because they want to win some money easily than working it in a job..
