It so addicting because of the pleasure you feel everytime you win. Gambling is a vice which is more dangerous than smoking per se. Due to addiction any Gambler could risk even their own family just to satisfy his/her craving. Also, gambling is not always about winning the fact that you are also losing you want to recover your losses and you wont stop until you regain and I think thats one of the main reason why people get so addictive to the gambling.

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 
Why is it so addictive?
The number one reason is because of greediness. Of course as a gambler, you don't want to end the game when you lose. You always aim to quit gambling once you have won. However, if you didn't meet your expectation, addiiction could trigger which is not good as a player.Why is it so addictive?
Yes its true that one cannot assure you that you will win a big prize. You may try a hundred times and gain a negative profit but some other lucky dude can just win the jackpot in their first bet. It all depends on luck and that luck is hard to foresee - in fact it is impossible to foresee. Hence one must not play EV- games too much where the odds are against them.
I agree with you mate that the game of luck is really hard to win most especially in gambling because the odds are really against you multiple times. If it involves lots of money, then it is not wise to do so but if you are only using a portion of your money that you can afford to lose then that is perfectly fine.
for the full time gambler the only thing can stop us from gambling is when we run out cash and we broke
so be a part time gambler so you can stop when you feel you need to stop lol

If gambling is addictive, I would guess its due to high earnings potential and no real work being necessary for participation.
Especially appealing to the "something for nothing" pop culture movement.

Dont forget that you could make money in a matter of second. Thats what makes people want to keep going, sometimes I do this as well when I do need some lunch money. I admit that it is fun, I could lose my lunch money or even double it in a matter of seconds. If I win that is fun but absolutely not when I lose

Gambling very often out of harmless enthusiasm overgrown in a serious dependence that harms not only the player, but also family members. This is due to the thirst for easy money.
The first experience of gambling for any person is having some fun with making some money. It is like an experimental method. But once they play for sometime they realize that the losses are much more than wins - so the enthusiasm soon ebbs off and due to human greed and ego they try to play more and more hoping to win back their money. This never happens as the house edge is made in the opposite sense.

Gambling should be kept to the mode of entertainment and not as a mode to earn money. It is something that the casino owners who are doing a business want us to do. But we must not fall for their marketing methods. If we keep on gambling then we will lose a lot - in EV- games that is where the odds are against us. But then we can try EV+ games as well where our skills and knowledge can help us.

But if you lose too many times that is not good because you are losing money but if you are happy with that strategy then it's okay. As long as you win the next day you will be retrieving back what is loss. Always remember that gambling won't give us a daily win. It's pure luck and it depends which type of gambling you play.
