If you win - usually you'll get a thrill (associated with neurotransmitter/neuropeptide release) which across a long term creates a positive feedback loop leading you to enjoy gambling and continue to do so. Furthermore, if you gamble regularly you reinforce the habit - so regardless of how much you enjoy it you'll be more inclined to gamble.

Very Correct , i agree with you .

The lure of the jackpot
Gambling can make you feel great. Everyone loves winning. It has been proven that we remember our wins longer than our losses. Some people may win when they first start gambling—sometimes even a lot of money. This is the early win phase, better known as “beginner’s luck.” It leads some people to believe that gambling is the road to easy street.

i dont think so, i think people tend to remember the big losses more so than anything else. do you honestly remember every single time youve lost? dont think so. on the other hand, i think its more than likely that people remember the bigger losses theyve had, i know i do.

The mere risk and potential of losing your money is a thrill in itself. You don't even need to lose money to get addicted, it is just wanting to be put in a situation where you can.

Hello :-)

Gambling is clearly addictive for people with certain personalities. If you do not have self control and you do not feel you can manage the upsides and downsides of gambling you should really not play at all in the first place. Just treat it as fun and you will still enjoy it but with peace of mind.

Cheers

I don't know why but I always get a feeling to gamble, after then losing my money, I quit for some time and then continue, but I know I will lose my btc Sad

Why is it so addictive?

For me, gambling so addictive once you won free money or some amount money only by one bet. Example, by using bet 0.001BTC then you win 0.01BTC. Thats just enough for make you happy and feel want to gamble more and more. People are greedy, after they get once free, then the want it once again and again. We cant escape from that matter, man.

then you seriously lack self control if winning a few dollars makes you happy enough that you cant escape gambling. that aside, its not a guarantee youll win that much given most bitcoin casinos have a house edge implemented too. playing with the "free money" the faucets give you is a waste of time imo.

It's addicting because once some people start to win something they wanna win more and more until they've lost all of the money they've won.

Gambling gives me a buzz and can be nail biting when you can see your bet is winning and its not full time yet Grin

"Why gambling so addict?"
1. If you win, your greedy feeling is control yourself.
2. If you lose, your anger control by your greedy then you lost control for yourself.
Addicting is come from greedy.

It's greed and greed alone.

Everybody knows fun things to do. So people don't gamble for fun. They gamble for money and they want lots's ofit.

Yes, that is very true. Most of the people first start gambling as a fun activity but most of them after some time will use it a money making instrument. That's why will try until they lose all their money. So if any one do not want a trouble means better to stay away from gamble before they addicted.

Well said. Gambling addicts just play for more money. In the end they don't care for fun.
Money, money money.

People go playing with money just want more of it.

So they keep playing. If they know when to stop, it would be good for them.

I think because its fun.
In first you will experience the winning feeling.
after that you will just lose all...
and in order to get back all your loses , you will be tempted
to play again and again until you are drain.
but one thing is sure.people are GREEDY!!!
We will not be contented even we already win, hoping to win more.
unless We people have the control in emotion. and stopped after a win.
Well in the end.. only few addict in gambling success.

Gambling is so addicting maybe because they are thinking that they can double their money in less time. Wether you win or lose once you have tried to gamble you'll get easily attracted on it but sometime it depends on personality of a person.

I believe it can be addicting to some people since there's always hope for players that they can win the next round.

It's a chance you take when you start to gamble, you either win some or you lose some.

I don't like to lose my hard earned money so I don't gamble that often. I rarely gamble on nights out.

Yeah i really don't understand it. You work hard for your money. Sometime seven 10 hours shifts. Then you think. Hey let's waste it on some 10 min gambling game.

?? Everbody things they got a chance, in reality they don't. The house only lose if they intend to lose.

Gambling is addicting as it gives you hope you to win money without much effort as long as you select the 'right' choice.
It is unlike a job where you have to put in effort.

Depends on what you call effort. Sitting in front of a screen all day placing bets or sitting in a casino can also be seen as effort. As if you are that addicted you probably don't have fun anymore as well.

I believe it's addicting because people keep getting hope of winning the next round or the next one or the one after that.

So they'll just keep on playing without realising they've lost a bunch along those rounds.

i strongly agree with you one of the causes people can't stop gamble because they always be hope so much in the next round without realising they has become addicted
