This is the easiest way to earn money for free. You do not have to do anything in many games just try your luck either you win or lose out everything. People play it for just making money and not for fun due to which they get addicted to it and if they lose the money they will take debt from friends etc to recover those loses .

You must be dreaming like all addicted gamblers are thinking that gambling will make you rich and the casino will become poor and be so charitable that all poverty in the world will go away. All gambling games are associated with more losses than wins. People keep going to them because they keep losing and wish to win back their losses. However they simply stack up losses and the cycle continues.

Also worthy to mention that the fact casinos are called business (indeed a good business if you have the capital and technology) is because they are basically there giving entertainment and in return earned through the loss of the players there.

Really? I hope you were just kidding when you said "gambling is the easiest to earn money for free" because the truth is, it is not. I'm confused, how come that gambling is the easiest way to earn money if most of the people are losing most of the time, how ironic, and how come that it is free if we are using our money in betting, I hope you know what you are saying.

Not to mentioned that his message is quite conflicting due to the fact that he says it is easy to earn money for free and followed by lose out everything with another words of debt. I am not sure also what he really meant though

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?

I think greediness is the number one reason why is gambling is so addicting, especially if you experience to win in gambling in a huge amount, of course because of it you are aiming to believe that your gonna win again a big amount that's gamblers keep coming back again and again.

Other than greediness which is the most common answer to the question"Why gambling is addictive?", Personal problem or stress is one of the reasons why people are drive to gambling. It is already proven by some researches that stress contributes and influence people to gamble. People who got fired from their job and someone that lose someone important to them. Gambling is their way to make a break for all those problems. It acts like what alcohol and drugs do.

I have personally tried to play in some gambling sites too, but I never invested any amount as capital. I just used the free satoshis that they gave through their faucets and try to make it bigger. Maybe the fact that it is fun to play and the challenge to win makes you want to bet more. Based on my experience, you can win a little at first but you cannot keep on winning forever. You will surely lose in the end. Try to avoid these sites as early as possible and more importantly, do not invest in gambling because you will never profit from it. There are still many other ways to earn bitcoins, not just through gambling.

Earning through gambling is the craziest idea ever. You can win in the beginning if you are lucky but as was mentioned many many times by different gamblers on this forum, and like you said it yourself, you can not keep on winning forever. No one can. That's why all the big gamblers lose big eventually.

Gambling can be a healthy addiction if it doesn't consume all your time and all your money. Try to make it like that.

Well said we have many sources to earn Bitcoin avoid this gambling to make bitcoins. And if you play gambling with free faucets you will not get that entertainment. Becasue it is free money so if you lose that money you don't feel anything. But when you play with real money that time the thrill and tension will give you real entertainment. I am not telling you to play with your money. I am telling the fact in gambling.

Win or lose will make us addict, of course when gambling and win then we always think easy to earn money, so we will continue to gambling, and if lost then we will continue to be curious.

Gambling is making every gambler addicted when we are being lucky. It's not about the curiosity when we are losing and we are just continuing because we want to recover our losses and no other reasons why we are doing that. It is resulting for a gambler to become addicted for doing a repetitive action.

Not every gambler for sure because people have different mindset and some do gamble with the will and discipline in their mind.
When someone is too desperate on making money in gambling, then making he has a greater risk than anybody else.

But it is what's happening now, we may see not see those gamblers that are not becoming addicted still in the end they will turn into one. We really can't control things out when the mindset of every gambler that it is all about making money and gambling is the fastest way of doing it.

Doing money in a fast and easy ways can be done not only in a specific gamblina activities, but there's an another diversion to do it like with trading site you can invest there holding assets from altcoins. Without self control is not an excuses from our gambling activity and to prevent that to have that mindset is to divert yourself from that bad habit and thinm about tradings and other profitable investments not linked with gambling.

Trading takes time and in able to earn there you have to wait for the price of that coin to increase which is like in bitcoin. Having no control in yourself isn't an excuse but every gambler is taking hard time to deal with this thing. I know that there are a lot of times that gamblers will always be addicted to gambling every time they win.

Gambling is so addicted because gambling is free to everyone to gamble, it also most popular pastimes. Gambling gives chance and opportunity you to win, and people enjoying it. People love to gamble and hoping to win it really does not matter if you lose or win . When you gamble it feels you excitement, and if you stop gambling you feel life is boring. There are people gamble because of fun it makes you happy especially when you win a jackpot.

It is not free to gamble because there is something that you need to risk before you play. Your reward is the same as amount you wager. In the end everyone is entitled with the amount they play , you can choose to play with a small amount or play with a higher amount. It depends on the amount that you can afford

Someone who is addicted or active in the gamble is caused because he early gamble has experienced many victories. Or get a jackpot. After winning. They think will get it back when gambling again. The beginning of an addictive is that

maybe he gets his experienced not just from victories but maybe from his loss so he become an addicting person in gambling. i think we can be addicted in gambling because of many thing and only they that will know. but i admitted that gambling is addicting because there is many games that we can played and we can move from one games into other games.

Stress will not make you want to gamble. It is insane to see people that gamble only to relieve their stress. Some people dont want to have an extra stress after losing money to the gambling site while some people seems to be a fool because they choose gambling as their ' entertainment ' which is weird

Stress will not make a person gamble - gambling is not a stress buster. Rather it will induce more stress because you are constantly needed to think your decisions and have to calculate your risks once again and again. This is tough and needs work on part of the body. Gambling should be considered as an entertainment and not as a stress-buster.

It's addicting because it gives increases your pride for yourself. Whenever you win it boosts your pride and make you feel proud of yourself. And, at the same time it gives you an extra income if you're winning. It's fun to gamble but once you get addicted to it, it's hard to control it. Even when you're losing, you still want to come back and play some more.

I feel proud if I win some money, that is why I want to win but sometimes people always want to win alot of money and that is not possible thing to do. I play for fun but it is better for me to win because if I win then Im going to feel proud as well as going to have an extra money to gamble next time

You must be have a gambling friendly environment isn't it?
Here in my place you won't reveal a single moment of your winning even to tell people that you are actively gambling.
As you might will feel not comfortable, shame instead be proud on what you have achieved. I cannot see it as reasonable why gambling is addicting.

I suppose one of the main reasons is the illusion of getting rich quick and when you do win you think next time if I put in a little bit more then you will win more. It is an addiction that is hard to kick for sure.

I agree with you. You keep coming back into gambling because even though you are losing, you also win then if you win you will think you can win more and much bigger amount. But what will happen next is that you will lose. When you win you just focus on the money you get and you don’t realize the money you get is just half of the money you lose. If someone is also expose or involve to gambling, every day you can’t control yourself not to gamble. Feels like something is missing or you are not complete if you don’t gamble.

Even when you're losing, you still want to come back and play some more.

I don’t think so there’s any reason to feel proud after winning in the gambling. Gambling has to do nothing with your skills, strategies etc. It is highly dependent on your luck. I think it is addictive because you see it as an opportunity of doubling your money with no hard effort. People love short cuts and that’s why getting addicted to it.

To add more to what Osarman have just said, gambling or I can specifically say that bitcoin gambling is addictive due to its nature of being easy to be hook on. Bitcoin helps the gamblers to be anonymous, gives them the ease of use whenever they want to deposit or withdraw and it doesn't have any age restriction that even kids can do it at home.
