I don't think that gambling itself is so addictive. Drugs can make you unlike more addicted because its effect is unlike stronger. Also, unlike some drugs, gambling don't make you physically addicted, it's only psychologically addicted.

If people are greedy then it's of course difficult for them to stop gambling, because it's an easy way to make money as you just have to put the money on the table.

It is so true that first the users start to gamble for fun but when they start to lose it then they run after it to recover it and on this process they lose all investment. Then start the addiction and when one point comes that they become totally poor that time they realize it what mistake they have done.

I agree that this is the normal scenario. Then again every player is not like that. Many people do realize their losses in due course before going broke and then they stop themselves. Then they even try to reconcile and try to earn their losses not by gambling but by other legal methods to earn money. Not everyone get addicted but many of them do get addicted and cant stop themselves.

They didn't stop actually, their stop is just for temporary because they don't have enough money to continue their habit but as soon as they find some money to be spend on this again, they will not hesitate to gamble again since they do want to win back all the money that they have lost on it, which is a very wrong move to do since they do know that no matter how many tries are they going to make, still the result is the same.

Winning in gambling is not that simple, it is all about luck most of the time but skills are not needed, so if you are not lucky on the first, second third, fourth and so on, then you must know that you are not lucky on gambling, quit in an instant before you make yourself broke.

They are chasing their previous losses which they hope they can win back again in some other time - that is why they keep on coming back. And once they play regularly, they are forming a habits and those habits become an addiction which has great impact to your family relationship if you will lose a lot overtime
things that always make people looks like an addict are because of they keep repeating the same mistake in gambling , they don't want to face a lost but want always to have a winning which it's impossible even for a wizard. pretty selfish isn't it? no wonder they would get addicted for sure in the end.

It is no possible to win back losses. In all gambling chasing losses is very harmful. You never know if the losses will really be overcome or not. Then again in most cases they are never won back and only more losses are stacked up. Hence one should stop chasing losses and accept their losses. If they accept that and also the fact that gambling is leading to more losses and less wins, they can overcome addiction and move on with life.

The thing is they have lost too much, that is why it is hard to accept the fact, they are just keep on doing gambling, hoping that they could take all back all of their losses. In the most case scenario, this kind of people are just losing more and more every day they are doing gambling, just like what you have said, it would be more easier and profitable if they are going to quit gambling for real and start a new life.
They cant start up a new life if they wont able to quit first gambling addiction and this is the toughest challenge specially when your addiction is severe. Gambling is so addicting once we won huge amounts and the thrill we do feel on playing it will surely push us back on playing again even we are losing money already.If you are weak then addiction would really be easily come into yourself.

Challenging it is, maybe this is also one of the reason why we are being addicted on it, we are challenging with the house, which is wrong because we could never win against the house. The house was made to make huge bankroll everyday so that a certain gambling site won't ever be bankrupt to keep on running in the long term, and for the needs of the gambling site of course, the money is just keep on cycling.

Challenging the house although you know that you wont have chance? that is just pretty stupid. Why would you do so when you know that you are going to lose? you should just quit if you have no intention of making money from it. Im not saying that everyone could make money but you have some chance for it

Because gambling is one way to satisfy human emotions or passions. Gambling is a very challenging activity for me. I prefer in gambling dice with a 0.01% chance target.

In some betting games (no matter is it casino or sport match betting) you can win the house. Here is only one problem you need to follow whole day something that can be good for your winning. I try when football season is on (with all major leagues) to find game that have quote 2+. Then i search this game on different betting house with same game that have also 2+ (i mean on match quite). If i find this (always was able to find at least one), place 2 best in this system: team1-team2 under 2.5 goals quote 2.05, other same match but over 2.5 goals with same quote.

This system is only applied if this is for same match but on different betting sites. Hard this is to find, but if you do you will win for sure.

It also often make a person to get more fun and entertainment and while getting that entertainment it also give the opportunity to the players to earn some money as a reward so when these both things come together then they will make a person stick to gambling and we call him as an addictive gambler.
people only become addicted when they have some expectation, and gambling is the only why from where people can expect that they will make money without experience and knowledge and having no hard work is require.
Just to make it specific, they expect to win instant money that's why they keep gambling and trying to improve their method to get what they really want.
Well, here's the bad news, gambling sites are not operating like a charity, they operate to make money not to give it and although they do not win all the time but in the long run they are still on the profit side.

We talk based on what we believe but they talk based on the records they have, and it has proven them profitable.

Greed , illusion of getting rich easily and very fast and laziness are the main factors of gambling addiction .
So many people dream of owning sport cars , big fancy houses and having tons of cash to spend on hookers and drugs , and they want to get all of this by just sitting and bidding with 5 or 10 euros .
But if you just bet reasonably , on a team or any kind of sport that you follow closely and know all of it's little details , you'll easily be able to make some money . You're not going to be rich in 24 hours but you'll have enough to get yourself a nice vacation or i don't know maybe even a nice car .
Bet carefully and focus on single bets with reasonable odds and high amount of bids , multiple bets are just throwing your money away .
The word addiction is usually taken as a pejorative expression , but if you're wise enough you'll have an entertaining addiction that will make you enjoy yourself , live all the thrills of betting on your favorite team to win , and make some money aside .

It is just like teasing players by few winnings here and there - but the reality is that we usually lose more than win due to the house edge advantage. However, some professional gamblers get away with this by executing some strategies they have in place that they mastered for some time.

Then start the addiction and when one point comes that they become totally poor that time they realize it what mistake they have done.

I think these is the lowest kind of investment a man can have. The money or digital currency they use to bet can be called a investment, but you must really think how will you earn in this kind of investment.
But even if you get addicted to gambling, I don't think a person will become totally poor, even if they can't resist gambling there will come a time where they decide to stop gambling because it is resulting on a negative future.

I think instead of asking why gambling is addictive we should be asking why the gambler themselves are addicted.
There must be a oersonality trait that leads some people to take more risks. I would assume people with gambling problems also are risky drivers or addicted to adrenaline to risky activity makes then feel alive. I feel a bit like that so I can understand. Interesting he different things effect different people differently. Lol that's a lot of difference.  Tongue  Cool
