That's part of it, I think it's the adrenaline and the excitement, I don't like it when I lose money though.
yes it is not pleasant. but if you play it is losing money gambling is a risk that will accompany you during play.  Grin

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 Smiley
or maybe just play games with your friends for hours Tongue

People see gambling as a game. That is why it is so addictive.
They also had to think that they can namely be more rich. But that's actually not true. Because they lose more money than they receive.

But they realize later. That is why it is so addictive.

Yes it is the adrenaline of some people they think they will win a high amount.

The most will lose a high amount, you need a lot of luck.

I think you just need to know when you stop, don't stay gambling with all your money.

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

Its so addicting because you can make fast money.
Plus people see big numbers on their screen and the think they can win.
Its sometimes also fun to play a game that you like at a gambling website.

People see gambling as a game. They like it because they have fun.
And they still think that you can earn a lot of money with it, but that's actually not true.

They lose more money than they bring in. But they do not realize.

in gambling you're no need 30 days to become a habit because since you start to gambling and lost that had in your mind is only how to get back your money and without you realize you do gambling too much and became a habit from gambling


Yes, chasing back your losses and being over ambitious are some reasons for gambling habit which will slowly turn into addictions. Simply we can say if you consider gambling for making money then you will be addicted to it. Change your view on gambling which might help to rid off addictions.
Moreover people must understand that the probability of loosing and winning is same , no matter if they are chasing losses or playing first time. Like I saw someone playing dice and saying that he wont loose the next roll on 50% , cause he already lost 6 in a row earlier.

If you know the fastest one you will go there, if you have safest method you will use it, so the the gambling make you rich for a while
just control your self if you already win/get some profit, withdraw it and try next time.
unfortunately, not all countries legalize gambling.
for people who live in countries that prohibit gambling, all that hard and the people became unwilling to perform its gambling

Gambling is very addicting because its fun to play.
Its also that you can win money with it.
People want to win back what they lose so they stay gambling.
and their habits every day to gamble, also affects to their the addict
Its hard to break a habit that you practice every day but you need to try hard and you will be able to break that habit.
You also need to realize that gambling is only destroying you.

it is very hard to break a habit so if it has become a habit, it is going to be quite hard. u need to find another hobby or entertainment to keep u away, may not be successful but it will takes time. bit by bit.

According to a research, human needs 30 days to make a habbit. Which means that you have to at least do a new activity in the next 30 days so tht you can make it as your habbit.
in gambling you're no need 30 days to become a habit because since you start to gambling and lost that had in your mind is only how to get back your money and without you realize you do gambling too much and became a habit from gambling

I often see in the news that so many people who lose a lot of money because of gambling, there are even families are destroyed because of gambling, but I guess it's because the person has often played from small gambling so addictive, even despite being aware of it
I even heard the someone sold his house for betting Sad
Gambling can be addicting and we can't deny that but we need to know the limit of it Wink

Its in our human nature, to gamble and to risk.

Yes human gets easily attracted to easy money making ideas. Sticking with gambling even not making any profits resulting in addictions. People start gambling to make profits and ending up in addictions.
Humans are lazy.
Humans always want the fastest way to do/solve something.
Humans never learn.
Be like aliens.
