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.

"It's like gambling somehow. You go out for a night of drinking and you don't know where your going to end up the next day. It could work out good or it could be disastrous. It's like the throw of the dice."

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.

Well said. In the heat of the moment people keep playing and playing, Not thinking about their loss.

They notice teir loss when there are no more chips/money

True, indeed. After that there's nothing left to lose and no chances to take after that.

Unless you got a big buffer behind you of course. After a big loss I wouldn't risk gambling for a while.
a big buffer doesnt matter if you dont have the self control to not chase your losses, which the vast majority people people end up doing. for some unknown reason, people become overconfident in winning a game of chance after winning a bit, and end up throwing it all away trying to squeak a bit more money out of the casino.

gambling is only addictive to greedy people who want to keep on winning. it is wise to know when to quit in case you find yourself losing or even winning. the only problem is that no one thinks they have enough. better investing your BTC in another form if you just feel like multiplying it because betting will see you lose it. thanks

Some people thinks doing gamble make their adrenaline pushed and its make them happy.
So it is not about win or lost only there is something funny when you wait the result.
And it is addicting to fun gamble.
that's mostly true only for addicts though, most normal people will always try to play for money. an addict on the other hand, doesnt care if they win or lose, they just chase their gambling fix and nothing more. to them, the cost of losing is the just the cost of getting their fix, nothing more. and if they win, just just get another one is all.

I saw my neighbour want to chase his loss, he scream so I can hear his voice ( I think he was angry to his wife )
And the horrible part is he commit to suicide by hanging himself with rope  Lips sealed on tomorrrow

So if we can't afford to lose, better stay away from gambling !

What did I just read :O. This is one of the problem about gambling.
That is why I just gamble for fun and if I am lucky that I win money. So that I don't get addicted.
that's exactly how people get addicted though, eventually, it becomes more than just a bit of fun without you even realizing it. the only way to not get addicted is tto just not play at all, constantly telling yourself its just for fun seems like youre just trying to justify your gambling habits.

I think it will addictive if a person wants to earn or multiply their earnings...
sample if this person win today it can cause to a person or s/he was thinking that the money is easy to earn on gambling s/he will be back after this winning because s/he was thinking to it.
then also you some gamblers addicted to gambling because some of games is fun. and has a big jackpot prize.

Nope that is not called addictive. That is greediness. Addicted is you keep on playing without thinking others, you keep on playing it but you can't get out from that thing, like drugs. All gambling games is fun when you are winning but if you lose there is no more fun

Of course is not more fun if you are losing with gambling.

Yah that is actually true that is not called addicted, but greediness. Well getting out is not popssible if you do it alone.

You need help from somebody.

For me I find it some times really addicted, because I want to win my money back. In other hand if you win you is also really became addicted, because if you win a lot than you want to spend more to win.

Or I don't know gambling is just addicted some times if you have no control to yourself.

i compare gambling with drugs,gambling nake adrenaline for the player,and also with drugs or cigarete. that why gambling so addicting.
and i also think,if gamble player always win or always lose,that player will not addicted to gambling,i'm sure about this,because i feel it Cheesy

In a way they are the same. But cost money and ruin lives. Not a few but many lives.

Then offcourse there is the addication element.

i gamble mostly everydayn but im using the free fauscet i get, you may say that, it is a small amount
but if youre lucky enough you can actually multiply the amount of the btc you get from faucets, im not just talking about
the free faucets from gambling sites, i use ever satoshi i get from every faucets im using.
so i can say that i can collect about 0.5-0.8mbtc every day which is a big amount considering youre
getting it from free faucets.

0.5 mbtc is 0.0005 BTC I seriously doubt that you can gamble this amount and win more than 1$. Also it is surprising that people are making such fuss about gambling with peanuts.
How can gambling with 2 cents can be good, I would probably gamble with fully virtual currency instead.

i actually won 10mbtc once, it took me atleast 1:30hrs to get that mbtc luck was on my side that day, you may not believe it, i dont care.
you just need a lot of patience, im not a huge gambler so patience is my only advantage
when im betting that low. plus $1 has a high price rate in our country, you cant blame me having a fuss about getting $1.
that is very true if you play with a patience you can win a bit by bit but as soon you start to be greedy you are doomed

there is always a small chance for you to win money like huge amount of money and thats why your brain loves to try that small chances.

Nope for me is if I lose I want to get my money back.

That is why is addicted and yeah also if you win you will play more.
