The possibility of winning big that is why I keep betting. I usually never bet on odds under 2 because the payout is too low and you get only what you put into the bet.
I know there is risk involved but I think that is all part of the addiction of it.

people are very greedy and they need some money, if they want some they want even more then so i guess that the main reason is the greediness of the people

the answer is very easy to be honest, casinos and other gambling games let people to win a lot of money in a very small time, and it seems to be very attractive for gamblers who want a lot of money

This makes sense. Normally I would say it the urge to win.
But you are right, most sites let you win quick and this gives people hope.
Then they lose, and want to win it back.. and so on and so on.

I thought, gambling is a pastime of most people, because the victory is obtained when gambling was so beautiful, that's what makes people so interested in gambling
Gambling is not a past time for most people as they do not gamble. Most people who do gamble do it to win big from experience.
I do not know, gambling such as taking drugs, there is something that draws us back to play, even those who have stopped though, maybe it's because it makes us more excited when to play because in gambling there is something very interesting for players  Grin
There is nothing very interesting for players who gamble. Well i speak for myself but would like to know what you think is very interesting for players of gambling?

BTW you both sound like and write the same and if i was a gambling man would say you are the same.

Agreed with you, its always good if we are winning something. once you won some money from gambling then you will gamble again and again in the hope of wining more and more money. This is one of the reason of addiction towards gambling.
Once a wise man said, never gamble as you will continue playing and losing, if you win you will play to win more. If you lose, you play to recover the losses

It is really a very interesting question because I'm not sure what it provokes in the brain that it is so addicting. Certain amount of risk I guess it should be rewarded by the brain to conquer certain situations but it's like the brain actually becomes drunk and make you do very bad decisions. Of course not everybody experience it the same way. I've read self made millionaires are extremely prone to losing a good (if not all) share of their fortune.

Because when winning you'll get an adrenalin rush or some other type of rush (forgot the name). That feeling is addicting.

This is why it's addicting for me. The money is good when you win, but the rush feels even better.
Most of the time it's the sole reason I gamble.

I like to gamble and keep on gambing when I am on a winning strike. Whenever i lose more then 3 games. I am out.
But when i am winning, it's hard for me to stop.
So, you will only stop gambling after you lose thrice consecutively? You should really stop once you are on winning strike, IMO.

i think gambling gives us more money in the beginning .
No, wrong. Because there is no such thing as "gambling gives us more money in the beginning". But eventually you will lose it all.

it's a common and classic trick of the houses, let newbie win some at 1st like a bait till they into it, guard down, lose control, become addict and then easily take their money away. like drug dealer give free drug at 1st and the victims will be their slaves forever.
Are you saying that house is manipulating games in order to catch into a web new gamblers? It is hard to imagine we we think of some known and reputable casinos.
For this purpose casinos are rather offering great promotions*: like free money for gambling, no house edge for some time or happy hours. It is usually sufficient way to catch new patrons.

no, i didn't say about web. i said it's classic, i mean it's existed for long time, as long as gamble exists.

Indeed. But I'm not sure if it's similar to drug dealer though, since I'm not a drug addict.
If you win more than your bet amount, then you should stop right away. Well, if you don't want to lose any profit.
