Gambling is basically a game which is totally depends on luck, sometimes it brings good luck and sometimes it's not. In my opinion, there is no short cut way to become rich but many of us are waiting for good luck and day by day they are getting addicted to gambling in this way.

It is all bad luck for me because I seldom win. I am addicted not because I win but because I have been playing alot and that makes me addicted however I play for other reason now, I play for fun and Im happy. It might not be my way of getting rich from it but atleast it is a way for me to be happy when I play with it
I do not understand how you get pleasure from your loss?
I can only be happy in playing gambling if I get profit from it, but if I get lost from gambling, I do not get any fun at all.

As what they have said in gambling, if it is not fun anymore, better stop it at once. That is really true!  Our aim in gambling should only be for fun and if we are not having fun anymore, better stop already. I know it is hard to control but if you can't control your urge to stop, better don't gamble at all.

I think it is the adrenalin rush that comes with winning. It makes you feel good, happy and high. It's probably an addictive feeling to have for most people.

It's all the basic himan emotions all out into one that is the reason why we are addicted and come back. Basic human greed alone can be very powerful and tempting that is why we must control our spend and be responsible when gambling.
Human emotions are the things that can drive us crazy, like falling in love with someone, that you are really hit hard by someone, you're just going to do whatever it takes, but too much of it makes you obsessed, and that's not going to be good. You have to be responsible for your actions, that's what makes us mature.

If you are not winning any money through gambling then playing for fun is a good way to distract things hoping that you could become lucky one day  Wink it is all fun if you are not loosing big money but once you start loosing bit then the fun part goes away.

The fun part goes away and your mindset changed to recovering all your losses. And once your mindset is like this then you will become another statistics on being a gambling addict. So it really depend on the individual on how to cope with his/her losses. Should he/she go back to recover or just let the loss and not go back to gambling in fear of losing more?

Being addictive and consuming is a part of it's nature as gambling and can't be separated from it, players need it due to the dependence it forms, The actual reason is explained here:

it's more about being compelling and forcing the user to comeback through the effect explained through this site.

That's the strongest part of it's nature and the reason it's gambling, because it's very addictive and you can't leave it easily, I seen few scientific shows about gambling and apparently the reason is due to hormone coming from the brain and the like, regardless gambling = addictive.

Gambling is simply addicting and there's no question about it. And regardless of your situation in life once you started to gamble, you will become addicted on it no matter how good or bad you gamble. The entertainment and excitement it gives to the people is why gambling is addicting plus the possible money you can win.

Agree but mostly it will happen to the people that is always winning as my self I do gamble sometimes to spend sometime or kill some of my time but it keeps me losing so sort of I didn't enjoy in playing though if yoy will you will be able to be entertained and sort of coming back to play again

If you'll be addicted in gambling on it no matter how good or bad you gamble. The entertainment and excitement that gives to the people will gamble in the activities so that they will forget if they lose while gambling because they melakukuan with a sense of fun

Because Gambling gave them such a sense of euphoria that they yearn to feel again.
Yes it gives us a kind of energy that we cant resist. Gamblin is kind of a drug that keeps us to get attached on it. When we gambled we feel so happy and we fee so contended in everything. We feel so great when we gambled but when we stops gambling we may feel so depressed and feel that we have been having a sick. So we  need to gamble to gain energy.

It is not like we are having a depression if we didn't gamble in a day, when a certain thing become a habit to us, then not doing it on a day might result to a disappointment or even more. Besides if we are truly addicted on gambling then not doing it on a day is impossible. Gambling is addicting because of the losses that we are having every time we do gamble, and we wanted to win it all back.

In this way, the addiction comes up to ourselves. The desire of winning big in gambling is also one of the reasons why we can't just quit it in an instant. But it is still depends on us, we do have a choice, whether we want to be addicted on it or not.

The desire to win more and more money from gambling will always attract the gamblers back, that is the reason how some players got themselves addicted to gambling, it would be bad if the player started to go around borrowing money to satisfy his gambling addiction even he knew he can't repay the loan back if his losing streak continues.

Gambling is so addicting, but this​ has got a strong reason for one to be addicted. In my view very few consider it an entertainment Source whereas the majority consider it an easy earning source without much work done. This is the cause for addiction.
I do not know one person who uses gambling as a easy source of money and if that is the case we would see gambling sites closing down as they are not running to give away money for free. Cheesy People addicted to gambling are just fools because they are under the pretext that they will win something huge.

That is not the sole cause of addiction - rather it drives the addiction. The temptation of getting rich quickly and the misleading ads of the casinos is what makes them addicted. It is because the players lose a lot and try to recover their losses again is why they get addicted. Even if they dont want to play they are compelled to play since they keep losing a lot and dont want to return home with a net loss.

I think what drives someone really to be addictive is the goal to win big. So you will try your luck to really get that one big win but unfortunately, you will not get it in just one going. But then you will try again and again until you became addictive and lose a lot of money. But then you don't realized it because your goal is to get the one big jackpot. But it won't be happening.

I have the same opinion, should gambling be played for an entertainment. Never make gambling game as a source of income. Because when we call gambling as a job then the nature of addiction has begun to enter ourselves. When the addiction has entered us then it will be hard to get back to the beginning.

It became a habit to a person, that is why it is pretty tough for someone to completely quit gambling addictions. The other thing is the losses that we are going to have every time that we are going to try gambling, this is what makes us to aggressive to win all back the money that we have lost on it, but this desire is the other reason why we are losing more and more.

Gambling addiction is not an easy job to quit just like that, especially if we have lost the amount of money which we can't afford to lose or something more of that. So if we don't want to be addicted on gambling, then it is better if we are going to stay out of this world.

So in other words it is called greed what leads to heavy addiction from which you can't get rid of without a professional help. And imo it is really stupid to think of gambling the way you described. It is one thing to play for fun from time to time hoping to win when you'll be lucky, and it is entirely another thing to create strategies to make money from gambling on a regular basis.
Definitely, what you both said are correct. It's just an easy income to no much work done. It's like the lazy persons paradice and it could be one of the things that you could be dependent on if you are trying to work and earn money easily. It's pretty good to win but when you lose, it's going to be a bad feeling and probably you would go on an emotional stage and just go with it.
