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?

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 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.

I suggest you to just store most of your bitcoin in cold storage and print out the private key in paper and store it safe. This will make you unable to send bitcoin easily. I was also addicted to gambling before, and also delete bookmarks of gambling sites and clear the cache. Cool

It is like taking drugs and heroin too. I don't know one most probable reason is the money that is involved. When you win once, you want more so you try more to win more. When you lose, you want to try harder all the more for a hope that maybe this time you are going to win, but you lost again so another try maybe this time you will be lucky until you finish all that you have in a hope that you will get more. So better not even try gambling at all.

In everything, once we get hooked on it and already part of our daily habits, then we think that it is just normal that is why most of the people that get addicted to gambling most likely are not aware that they are already addicted to it because they think that it is just normal.

I believe in that way of thinking because I also experience it before and i believe that there are people that are still into gambling that make it a habit and it is already a normal situation for them. Gambling is really addicted that some people doesn’t notice it earlier until someone will notice their habit.

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 gambling 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.

Why is it so addictive?

I think the main reason is not the multiple time losing but the feeling of winning even if one only won little time in his life but the feeling of winning makes him keep gambling because he wants to feel more.

gambling again in hopes of recovering losses or earning money in a quick way is an unreasonable act. become an addict because he always wins and gets money even though sometimes lost it's still reasonable. but according to the book and some articles say it's because of the thrill when play gambling like nicotine that makes the user an addict.

People cant be addicted with a thing that has no addictive substances. Gambling is pretty much different from smoking or drugs which we cant control when we have finally taken the substances into our body. Some people just wont tell the truh that they are the one that decided to keep playing and blame it as their addiction

You are wrong, people can be addictive with a thing that has no addictive substances.
People are addicted to internet, games etc - or do you think it's not addiction?
And btw when you gamble brain is producing substances which are causing addiction.

Precisely there's something coming out from the brain which creating this addiction and even you are not intended to become addicted but when you already engage you won't be able to control yourself to become addicted and its really hard to avoid once you turned to that.

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.

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

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.

You are right that greed is what drives people to gamble and that idea that they can also win big jackpots by simply rolling dice is what makes them play more and more. There is also chasing losses which makes a person return to the casino everyday. It was their hard earned money after all so it is obvious that they will try to win it back and hence they try to chase losses.

Gambling is addicting beacause everyone think that they will do the shot and win some extra and easy cash.
And when they lose they try gamble until they will get profit and lose more...

Yes this is main reason why people get addicted to gamble, because they think about gambling as of a easy way to earn money, they think that it's risk free way and when they lose they think that they simple got unlucky, so they bet again and again to win back what they just lost, after few days like this they become addicted

Thinking gambling as a easy money is bad because the truth is it will drain your balance if you don't know what you are doing. Some people do it as their job maybe because they are always winning and become addicted to it. If some people is always winning they will play everyday because they think that they will win again next time. Others become addicted when they always lose, they are always playing and want to recover their losses.

Gambling is so addictive because once you win you get greedy and you try to win more, and if you loose you keep trying to gain what you lost. If you don't control yourself, you become addicted and it may have bad consequences on your life!

Yes thats the reason why there are a lot of people got addicted to gambling because of the chance of winning big amount of money and the moment they will have the taste of it they get addicted and want more money out from gambling.

Yes, in case of winning as well as loss you cannot leave playing gambling. In losing condition you will think to play once again to get back you own money and in winning condition you will think to win more so in this way you will become addicted of gambling. I know personally some of my friends who are badly addicted of gambling they have lost a lot in gambling but is not ready to leave still.

That is right, because gambling gives more fun and excitement to a person who plays when experience more winning from the betting. It gives high profit in just an instance(turns to be greed)that cause for addiction. When become addicted, he cannot control his mind to stop even when he lost until he turns to nothing in the end.

Winning and greediness comes together. When you win, specially big amounts you tend to be greedy and come back in thinking than you can hit another but will be frustrated if didn't happened and come back again so the cycle continues. If you just enjoy your winnings and not be greedy, then most likely that you still have your bankroll and most of the winning money but alas you want more but ending up nothing in the long run.
