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.

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.

that was great it a big check gambling is so addicting because of the person who has drawn by his own desire.it is a desire of wanting a verry big money in a small period of time.and with that desire thier mind cant think that they've already become a victim on it.they will continue trying and in a long run they will end up to nothing.

If someone has put everything into gambling then they will think of nothing but only to gamble. It is very hard to quit gambling but it is not hard to control ourselves. I was one of the victim of gambling as well but I quit my bad habit and keep gambling without having to worry that bad habit got me again

This is not true. I believe one can balance both equally and gamble at the same time. If the person has control over his mind then they can control their gambling habits and not let that become a habit and ruin their lives. It is possible for a potential addict to control thier habits and then continue to do both giving time to both. But this is not for everyone though.

I also agree with you. Actually, if your mind set is always like that then you have a problem in giving up that's why it leads to addiction. But talking about its addictive effect of gambling, maybe it also depends on whay kind of gamble you are addicted to. If it is profitable to you and has great potential in supporting your needs in using the money you have won in gambling then chances are, you will be addicted. Once you joined , aways wanted.

Why is it so addictive?

One factor why gambling is addictive because of the experience of early big win. Many people are addicted to gambling because they are overwhelmed when they win such a large amount of money and it makes them think that it is easier to land such wins in gambling. It gives them the illusion that they can make more money than real job and then, they start to lose money without noticing because they're not monitoring their wins and losses.
Personal stress is also a factor why people gets into gambling. Gambling is like an escape to some. In the same manner with alcohol and drugs. They are gambling because they want to forget their personal problems like divorce and job loss. All of this factors that i stated is all base to what i've experienced and seen to some gamblers and i'm no expert to believe. I'm only stating my opinion and I hope my answer will help you to answer your question.

Gambling is one of the most popular recreational activities to be enjoyed. One factor for the gamblers to be addictive is the experience of early big win. Winning a large amount can be sometimes overwhelming and the fact it arrives early means that the player think it is easier to land such thing.

One of the best thing to have fun nowadays. I dont need to change my shirt or even get out of my room because I can do it just like that. I can open my computer and access my favourite site without leaving my room. I can also get some money from it that is why gambling is a very addicting and entertaining things for me

there's always a good and bad things , when you gamble online you might have a flexible way to get entertained and earned money through of it . but you wouldn't have a good time to hangout together with your friends , talking bullshit but funny with people around have a lot of experience during that time. however what makes gambling addictive actually not about what you have said above i guess , but more to how your mindset think that gambling are the easiest way to make money. it's completely wrong!

Gambling can be the easiest way to make money but there is a caveat: it is also the easiest way to lose all your hard earned money. So gamble with caution and only play just for fun and not for profit because you do the latter, you will only be disappointed and stressed out.

yeah there's a high risk when you found an easy way in gambling , no wonder. people know already about that i guess. just the matter how you can deal with it , take it easy or get panic whenever you have crossed the line. an addict usually gamble with their emotion instead use their head, their brain to make a decision. that's what makes them always get addicted.

When people are really into that moment where they so engage emotionally during their gambling session, it most of the time ends up in loss and disappointment.

It is a bit like nicotine. when your body release hormones related with greed & fear while you are gambling and if you have that a bit regularly then it becomes like poison. Earth is based on fear & greed, everything including financial market, social life, career and everything you can imagine. so this is evolutional developed instinct is being provoked by gambling which becomes addiction.

Please stop saying this kind of thing like you are actually the only one that know about this kind of thing. The fact is that gambling addiction is not really the same case as a drug. Drugs are made from addictive that will made you suffer once you tried them and it is not the same with gambling

Gambling gives an opportunity without special skills to get a large amount of money and attract the attention of those who are lazy to make money with hard work

But even if the one who don't have any skills get lucky to win good amount of money from gambling at first, he might not withdraw it and keep playing with greed to win more. And by the end of the day he will loss whatever he have won in past plus what he have deposited at first.

You can't make good profit from gambling and I don't think it is something like get rich quick opportunity. Gambling addiction will always make you loss what you have.

Most people want to get rich with the easy way though to get it required a very high risk. Gambling is one way to gain wealth the easy way, at least that's what most people have in mind. They are not concerned with the fact that little by little their wealth will be drained away by it. The desire to become rich with little effort still remains the main reason why gambling is become an addiction activity.

The casino owners want their players to be not contented with their earnings. They want the players to play more and more so as to make them lose more. In gambling the more you play the more your chances of losing the money and less chances of winning big. The complete opposite of games where practice makes perfect like EV+ gambling. EV- games only need luck and if you dont have that and keep playing then you are sure to lose.

Practice makes perfect for EV+ gambling? you must be kidding me. It doesnt matter wether it is EV- or EV+, in the end it is much more the same because it requires luck. Although you are much likely to win in an EV+ games however certainly you can lose as well that is why luck will still remain as the main factor

I dont know where you get your experience from to taunt others but seriously speaking I have learnt this from playing myself and seeing other play. In EV+ games like Poker PvP you need and practice and that experience once built can help you in future. In EV- games its always luck and there is the House Edge which will wipe away you balance at any point of time.

That's one of the reason why gamblers become addicted to gambling. If we always win we are playing more because we know that we are going to win but we did not know that we are starting to get addicted and the worst scenario is when we lose that's the time that we will have more problems because of chasing loses.

If we win then we want to come back but if we lose we want to come back as well. There are alot of reason to come back but for me that it is for fun. Playing for fun makes us want to come back although we lose or win that is why I am addicted to get fun right now not only because I want to play and get profit from the game

You're correct, but not at all. There's a HIGH RISK waiting when you do a gambling. A risk that you can't able to return it back when you loss a large amount of money. They you're trying hard to recover your loss and you didnt see that your loss becoming bigger and bigger as time passing by. I will play gambling if it is a free money. I already experienced of being drained because of gambling. That's why I don't wanna to experience it again. I never do a deposit again. Cheesy

Sometimes you must need to be a smart as well.

that is why before you start playing , you better to know well about how the risk works here.

i mean you should gamble only with the amount that you can afford to lose only , otherwise everything could be messed up and ended badly. gambling are addictive thing because of its easy money maker '' idea '' , people get lured and that is the biggest mistake.
