When people gamble they are influenced by a number of things over which they have no control:- Due to the influence of chance, gamblers receive irregular winnings or payouts. Gamblers often think they can guess when the next payout or win will occur, but of course this is impossible to do.
- Some forms of gambling have been described as hypnotic. If you gamble when you are angry, depressed, anxious or frustrated, you may go into a trance-like state and temporarily forget all your troubles as well as how much time and money you have spent. This suggests that a person will only get control over their gambling when they have started to make progress in working on the big worries in their life.
- Most people have strong values about not giving up easily, and not quitting when the going gets tough. Some people also have very strong competitive drives. These factors tend to work against gamblers, leading them to keep going until all of their money is gone.
- Gambling can also provide some other non-financial pay-offs, for example: excitement, relief from boredom/stress, as well as a sense of belonging and company.
some people are inherintly addictive, it is in their genes!!!
