It is very simple to understand that the reason of getting addicted to gambling when we practice something for longer period and repeat it again and again we get used to that.People place bets sometimes to win more and other times to recover their losses and finally fell in addiction to gambling.

Because most gamblers always have confidence that they will win the next game, but of course this is impossible to do.
If they lose money, they play again in order to recoup their losses. And many of them believe that they will win back money that they lost.

Yes addictive nature of gambling makes people to have their own reason and it is in no way uncommon as we are humans, after all.
It's one of the many human weaknesses. It is as natural as we get addicted to any other thing in life. The desire and chase after 'winning' specially money, appears to be the main cause.

Gamblers like the kick. A kick to win everything in 1 moment.
They play for it. and keep playing for it, till it happen. Most of the time they forget that all the time they are playing, they are losing loads of money, which makes the house very happy.

Gambling addiction is usually one of two things. Either the knowledge that you've won before, and can win again, with the same ease, or the "need" to recoup your losses.

Either way though, that's a horrible mindset to be stuck in.
IMO, gambling addiction causes either by your greediness or like you said, to recoup your losses.
But I gamble because I am addicted with their "entertainment". Embarrassed

Yes, When you gamble , there are two things, either you win or you loose. Now see, if you win - you want more and
more and endless . And if you loose you say okay let me recover my loss and then I stop. This keeps on going till you seriously start feeling bad or nothing left to deposit into gambling.

Yes you are very right in learning about the trick play gamble.  Grin

Every gambling should definitely know gambling was first, where we will have a chance of winning and where we have defeat (the strategy).
If we already know the strategy is certain you will win big and small possibilities to experience major losses

because u want to win, but  always lose,
 and when u want to recover u lost but got worse Smiley

not only lose that makes a person become addicted,
win and profit in gambling also makes a person become addicted,
when someone wins gambling, he would gamble again make a profit now significantly bigger, it's human instinct

yes right. The lame attempt to win is basicallt what we call gambling. I dont see why people gamble so mcuh when they cant afford to loose. I am also bit addicted and hence understand their problem. lol .

Lame attempt on winning in gambling? What are you talking about? All of this thing that include in gambling is based on your luck, no matter that is gambling game or investment. All of these thing is based on luck so if you dont have enough luck to play better stop it. And the attempt that you really need is only by getting more money to gamble, thats all and the rest will be determined by your luck

cause gambling addiction:
1. depression
2. debt
3. emotional pain
I would argue that those are outcomes of gambling addiction, and not necessarily a cause of gambling addiction. It is entriely possible that are a major factor, but its interesting to see some of how addictions are treated. I'm not sure if you've seen the "In a Nutshell" video on addiction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao8L-0nSYzg, but it is possible that gambling addiction can be influenced by a number of different factors.

Just like any other addiction, a compulsive gambler feels a rush or high when they have a win. The high that they feel creates a rush of good feelings in their brain that makes them feel great!

For many reasons - adrenaline, chemical reaction, fixation, and psychological reasons.  If you feel you are addicted the best thing to do is get help or try to treat yourself.

I have witnessed first hand what made several friends become addicted. It also got me very close to becoming addicted and i believe it is the number one contributor to becoming addicted other than; an addictive personality. It is when you get real big wins from a relativity small starting amount. You will always remember how easy it was to win that amount, totally forgetting how easy it is to lose as well.
