I don't really gamble, but in my experience, it is addicting when I win once and tried it again then lose then win then lose again...but never tried it again, maybe I don't have the "luck" in gamble..  Smiley

Hahah yeah me too. Gambling is just fun to do if you don't have money issue.

Maybe next time we have more luck gambling.

Why it is addicting? Because people want to win there loss money.

That happend to me I just wanted to get my money back, but that was a bad idea because you will end losing.

I am addicted because want to win, but always lose, when I want to recover my lost but got worse, losing more and more.


That is the biggest risk why people become addicted. They must just let the losses be the losses and look forward and not trying to win it back. They do it with even higher and riskier betting.

That happend to me I just wanted to get my money back, but that was a bad idea because you will end losing.

That's why it's not smart for people to start gambling, people keep getting their hopes up that they will win next round or maybe the round after that or the round after that.

That's 3 rounds that you've lost by then. That's how some people create their own debt.

The meaning of gambling = Win money, lose money, addicted etc..
Well for now I am just happy that I don't gamble that much oterwise I will have a lot of debt.

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.

gambling becomes so addictive when someone who used to gamble for fun find themselves dissolved in the game either with the results they win and then became curious whether he will win again and again, or when they lose and wonder if they will win big later. So human's curiosity and greed that caused the addiction to gambling.

this is spot on. that what i usually feels when im gambling i cant get the feeling on my next roll
ill win big, its just the feeling of anticipation and then you actually won the feeling is good.

Because of the urge to win more. Smiley

I placed a bet and won $17(in Bitcoin) not long ago... I was like if I could $17 in one bet, maybe I could win $170 or even more on my next bet.
I risked it all and eventually lose more than $170 in a day.
So the moral of the story is, no matter how much money you won previously, you should never risked it all on your next bet just to win more.

agree winning big will make gambler think he can win again
and if they lose they will not stop until they get break even or big win
sometime they are thinking they will win later but in the end they will just keep on losing

Bingo!! Very true, that is the mentality of each and every person who is new to the gambling world, as gambling is just a matter of luck, if he wins at the initial stage he has an feeling that he can win more, and he gamble in a big amount and ofcourse the greedy nature of person also comes into play and once he starts loosing he wants to recover his loss and at the end turn up loosing everything.

People like the kick (adreline) and people are greedy, offcourse there is a fun element but most addicted gamblers only experience fun with big winning. So yes 1 + 1 = 2..

Gambling provides both elements for those people and thus the play it, then play it often and before they know it they are addicted.

In a way it is not meant for some people.

However for most people with self control, gambling, bets etc. are the perfect leisure. Entertainment, excitement etc.

In the heart of all this lies the passion and greed of money. The ease of scoring quickly leads to the same ease of loss. The ability to stop in time this is the main key to success. As well as understanding of the permissible limits of the amount of loss.

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?

Actually, many factors can contribute to a gambling addiction, including desperation for money, the desire to experience thrills and highs, the social status associated with being a successful gambler, and of course the entertaining atmosphere of the gambling scene. Cool

If you guys want pure scientific explanation why Gambling is so addictive, here it is:

"In the middle of our cranium, a series of circuits known as the reward system links various scattered brain regions involved in memory, movement, pleasure and motivation. When we engage in an activity that keeps us alive or helps us pass on our genes, neurons in the reward system squirt out a chemical messenger called dopamine, giving us a little wave of satisfaction and encouraging us to make a habit of enjoying hearty meals and romps in the sack. When stimulated by amphetamine, cocaine or other addictive drugs, the reward system disperses up to 10 times more dopamine than usual."

And guess what, with gambling it is the same, it works like a drug to our brain. It is that you are using visual and psychological stimulant - instead of a chemical ones.

Why Gambling is addictive?
All fast money making methods are easy and the more easy you make money the more easily you loose them and repeating this cycle make you addictive to gambling and then you are soon tending towards bankruptcy .

Yeah it is some kind of psychology. People think they will win this time, or that time. Before they know the are out of money.

Lost your house, wife and kids, and try to survive on the streets, while winter is coming..

An area of pleasure is active when you win. The same area of sex and alcohol. The problem is not in gambling but in people spending all their money in it. Bankruptcy can also happen with alcohol or any other addiction.



True, but I think it also depends on the type of person you are. Whether you got an addicted personality or not. Anything could have an addictive effect on a person like this.

Well I am not addicted  to gambling but is just fun when you win.
Even I am not addicted I can't stop playing.
I am saying that I just don't play every day maybe 1 time in a month.

how can you say "I cant stop playing" then saying "i just dont play every day maybe 1 time in a month"
thats just confusing.

anyway if you cant stop playing it then i think youre addicted even if you keep saying youre not.
youre just insisting youreself that youre not addicted but you are addicted

Hahaha that is what it looks like oh well I hope for him that he well stop playing it.
Because when you are addicted you will do some stupid stuff.
