There is a particular rush that addictive can give. Pretty much like any cases of substance or alcohol abuse. It can boost one's feeling of morale, thrill and excitement.

This feelings though are pretty much the root of all these. Each form are intended to be a form of escape or a diversion to face the actual emotions we are trying to suppress.

I think its addicting because you see others winning and follow them Sad
yes, it is an addiction. However, it would be better not to follow due to follow is not necessarily to win

Most of these winners are fake and just engineered to serve as a carrot for the donkeys. The carrot is always out of reach,

Your activity is monitored and this can be seen from the affiliate interface offered on some of these sites. They pay you a referral fee on the profit they made from the users that you referred to them. You can also see this, when you exit a specific slot game for instance. When you enter that game again, it remembers what bonuses you had and what amount of coins and how many lines you played before.

So you just continue where you left off and they just make sure that in the long run, you still see some smaller jackpots, but you lose it over time. You are like a little hamster in a wheel or a donkey chasing a carrot.

I am also jealous of people that won hundreds of BTC on gambling sites.. so I always try to bet and see if I get lucky enough.. never happened.
yeah I also often feel envious when others receive huge profits in gambling, then we want to try the same thing, that is the beginning of defeat

you should not trouble yourself with these sorts of statistics. these are just numbers, they can be faked too.

but in case they are real, you should check their profit and not total wagered. these reports are always the total wager and not the winnings, which can be negative.

the top winners is not always real, or maybe they actually are men of the houses. it happened on manga Kaiji, there is a gamble game, only 2 winners for 10 years, and those 2 winners actually are 2 top bosses of the casino. not sure if it happened in real world or not, but i believe there must be.

Don't get jealous by others wins, if you gamble like others you will only lose. those who win huge probably would gamble again and lose.(only smart ones withdraw their winnings and never gamble)

Getting jealous on other people's achievement will make you stick with gambling to try what ever options you are having, which might result in getting addictions on gambling. Do not be jealous and approach gambling without money making motivation.

jealousy will make you worse.
do it with caution and if I can find a job that certainly only does not make gambling as a farm for a living  Grin Cheesy

One day you love it and one day you hate it. Sometimes it gives you also a bad mood. If you don't want to get frustrated don't play.

Exactly! Everyone should read this...

This is indeed the sad truth about gambling.
If you don't want to be sad or frustrating then don't gamble. You won't run the risk of getting addicted too.
So a win win.

Gambling is addictive because of the feeling you get when you win.  The pure emotion you feel and excitement you have when you when or when you have a larger bet placed down is not easily replicated.  The thing is the feeling of loss isn't quite the same you feel bad but usually get over it pretty quickly

the thrill of victory for every your bet, it was great fun, I think addicts are also thinking about it, it's hard for them to turn ou

It's always exciting to win free money and that is the main and only reason many users are so addicted to gambling but they become emotional when they lose and many do not accept it sportingly and move on. This is the most disturbing factor about gambling which is why one should get rid of it before getting addicted to the game.
