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?

If a gambler was very addicting in gambling it means that the player itself is an addict gambler where they allowed themselves
to become like that. where its other reason why they keep coming back into gambling.

that what makes it so popular, being something addictive that people can not just leave even after losing money multiple times, again trying their luck and waiting for even more money than that lost. the attraction is the big possibility of getting prices equal multiple times the played amount which is impossible elsewhere.

Yes that's true mate inspite of all the money you've lost you still coming back and chasing your money that you lose in gambling. And this is what most gamblers that it became so addictive to them because it provides pleasure and entertainment.

We are attracted by gambling becasue we think we can easily earn huge amount of money in short period of time.
The most important thing is to know your limit and not ruin your life because of games.

Yeah, I think that is the only reason why most of the gamblers are addicted to gambling. The addiction because of the losses that they are experiencing every time they do gambling. The more money that they are losing in gambling the more addicted they become, and it is really hard to overcome this bad habit. We need to be dedicated in order to completely forget about this addiction to have a better life.

to me people are addicted to gambling because of the expectation that we have from gambling. when people become disappointed from finding job and other places, they come to play gambling because gambling do not require any experience or education you just need to learn how to play and you can learn that with in few days and then can make money from gambling, but when we lose money from gambling we are not ready to accept the result and still expecting good result from gambling for next time and so we become addicted.

Yes we are attracted to the prize that we are gonna be won. Everyone is determined to get that prize, people wil be more determined because of it. And therefore we keep on thinking that we must play and play until we get such money, but we need to keep in mind that we need to not lose all the money that we have just continue only to play it. It will be better.

Because gambling is most fun activity to do when compared work, and it's humane. Only, gambling using money is potentially dangerous for a person's financial condition.

Can you explain how gambling is a "fun" activity? Apart from the thrill in playing and the excitement - there is nothing fun in losing a lot and becoming a beggar. Gambling is always associated with risk and loss. If a person is not willing to accept it then they may not play at all. Then it does not mean that the person has to get addicted to gambling because that is their own choice.

People are different, they have different likes and dislikes, if for you gambling is not fun at all then that is something that I respect but for some gambling can be extremely fun, I have heard people describing gambling as better than sex, which is somewhat odd, but if that is the way they feel then there is no use arguing with them about the subject.

Addicting stuff usually provides a rush or some kind of reward that when it is activated triggers the dopamine and seeatonin (happy brain chemicals ). Gambling is super rushy when You win a jackpot or a keno big win. That is for sure a flood of all the good stuff and of course we all want more of that buzz.

✨

We all wish more buzz, you gave very good description why gambling is so addicting and why we are always coming back for more, we are trying to win the same feeling that we know its somewhere in casino. Also casinos are making sure we to feel comfortable, they always gives us bonuses and there are different promotions, everything for us to feel like at home.
I like to gamble, I don't think on addicted but I love to feel buzz and to feel that I'm welcomed.

In a way you are correct, but at the same time, the reason we don’t see people being addicted to gambling that have won one million dollars is for the simple reason that there are not many people that can claim they have earned that amount of money, I think the only ones that can claim that are professional poker players and those that win the lottery.

People that have one million dollar will not play anything that is related to gamble anymore. When you have that much of money, all you will think about is how to get more money by running some business and that kind of business is not something that is gamble related. Professional poker player could earn more than one million dollar if they are good

We were not talking about people with a million dollars in their pocket rather we were talking about people that have won that in gambling, if such person did won his fortune with gambling I don’t see why that person will leave gambling alone after having that much of a good fortune, but you are right those that earned that money are not thinking in gambling their money away.

I disagree with this statement because of certain proofs that I know the people who are millionaire and they still gamble and not only for the fun sake but gambling is the only way for them to earn money.
Joe hachem and some many other names are here who became millionaire with the gambling and they are still gambling while living a lavishing life.

These are high-end professional gamblers or most of the time we call them big sharks. These are the people that online casinos would gladly give them first class accommodations just to play to their casinos and therefore be bringing in more gamblers to their casinos.

In many cases those are setups and the big roller players machines are rigged to show many wins and that the casino is very much profitable in gambling by the gamblers in order to make a fool of the audience. Most people dont realize it falling for their greed and when they bet they lose a lot of money. Thus one needs to control greed and not fall into such traps.

Well that's normal for anyone to get addicted to something that feel good doing. For addicted gamblers, i think its just that they feel good gambling that's it. It's not about money, or winning or losing. It's about sitting in a table and making bets. Though this isn't appliccable to everyone, most addicted gamblers i think feel this way

If you win big at the primary stage then you feel that you can win even bigger amount and you start to gamble with a higher amount and at that time you hobby gets converted into addiction which is beyond the control.

Thats how everyone get their addiction including me, sometimes I win with a small amount then it made me want to try again with higher amount. When I try with higher amount , I always lose then I keep trying with higher amount again. Sometimes I win sometimes I lose and that made me want to keep playing and get addicted

We all wanna earn money and gambling is a fast way to reach those, even knowing in the most we end loosing money instead winning, but the concept of gambling does push us to give a try, then those house promotions deposit and get 100% or some extra coins to play, this always sounds as gifts, but once you in its very hard to leave and keep your coins.

True, most gamblers want to earn money in the fast way through gambling. They will try it again and again even though they faced unexpected result during their actions. And the other weird thing why gambling is so addicting is, even though some people already got what their intentions ( get money in the fast way ), most of them won't stop at that point. They will come back again to try to get another easy money. This cycle will repeat from time to time.

That's part of gambling, the "addictivity" it has. And the majority of gamblers although totally in negative profit of money still continue to gamble and giving more money to the gambling websites.
Why is it addictive? if you google it you would find a scientific explanation as well, how gambling creates psychological dependence like other kinds of addiction.

Most of the time you're right, it starts with a win and the normal instinct of a person to try and duplicate that win. Winning sometimes has it's bad effects as well as it primes the emotion to crave for that feeling. Now you apply that emotion to gambling and you're well in your way to addiction.

I will carefully explain on why GAMBLING is so addicting. Gambling creates an attitude of you going-in and out repeatedly while you evading the risk of it. One might say that gambling is fun for them but others might also say that it broke them. But whenever you gamble, it is inevitable that you experience winning but also losing. That's why people gamble because they feel that they are always winning. But once you start losing, you will feel that you want to recover your wasted money and this crucial part is what makes people suicide. To conclude, gambling is very addicting because you can double your earnings in less that one hour/day but this can also lose all of your earnings if you do it everyday.

That is a good description there mate. True, people tend to get amazed when they double or even triple their money in just minutes and when they lose, they feel that they can recover by playing again and before they knew it, they lost all of their bankroll already.
