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.

This is one factor why people are attracted to gambling. But being attraced is different from being addicted. Once the player indulge himself to gambling and forget about anything, that is the start of his addiction. Pleasure, is the key factor here. It stimulates the mind into wanting that pleasure even more.

When you the gambler is hooked and already made it a habit of gambling regularly and even skipping their day work just to gamble, that is the start of forming the addiction. It is so sad to hear some horrible stories of ordinary people living peacefully and when introduced and get hooked by gambling, their life is ruined.

The games are very exciting and if you are lucky enough, you can win a decent amount from it.
Gamblers will always say that gambling is a good way to earn that makes them addicted.
Just moderate yourself when you gamble so that you are aware of it.

Yeah there is no doubt that the games are really exciting and this is the reason for many of the people to visit online casinos because they are easy to access and hence the people get addicted to it.
I have saw many of my friends who are really decent and successful professional in their lives but they still visit the online casinos to play poker.

Maybe that's how gambling is for you and other gamblers but there will be gamblers who do it mainly for the feel of it. Perhaps not for fun entirely but for the sake of just gambling itself. It's not even about the money. If you're gambling about the money, it's not going to take your whole day just playing. But if you're addicted to the act of gambling itself, that's when it becomes extremely dangerous

I personally gamble for fun only. When I win, I feel very excited and thrilled, and when I lose, I do not stress too much because I know how much I can afford to lose.

Still it's bigger when they play to win but it's now more better to play for fun and play it like fun. Think that when you play fun you will gain ore cuz you don't need to feel sorry for loss.

That's addiction would really be called as severe one because you are addicted on gambling itself without only having the aim for money. That's already too deep and its extremely dangerous if you do decide to let it just overcome to yourself. It will surely messed up your entire life not only on financial aspects but also on relationship on your family and close friends.

IMHO you do win, and you do lose, that's how it should go.
BUT, the catch is, as many have mentioned, if you loose, you tend to think: "If I just spend a bit more, I will win (Since you know you can also win, not loose, as it is)".
AND you do not stop, if you continue loosing, still hoping you will win it back, until the last cent.

I would call it something like, exploiting a primal human urge, which many people, very very many can't just control.

Its called human nature. We all want to regain lost in very fast time, that how we think and react. Sadly in most cases we lose and then we got desperate. Some even say that gambling is disease and that is effecting brain (some medical studies) but in fact we enjoy gambling small time or big time. For some it relaxing for other and need to get fast money. In any case gambling is just something that our brain loves in the end.

yes that is very right to say that when we lose money in gambling we want to recover it and when we are making money, then we want to continue the winning and on both side we want to remain stick to gambling.

In my own opinion why others is so addicted to gambling because of their eagerness to earn a huge profit in an instant. The greed in their minds controlled their emotions thats they are so addicted to gambling. Earning a huge profit in an instant may lead also to lossing a huge amount of money in an instant too. To all gamblers out there know your limits okay?

People are getting addicted because it is fun and you can get money as well. It is the same as playing online game, people get addicted even without being able to get money from that although some people are making money from that. Gambling is just like a combination of money + online game so it is very addicting

It's the money reward that make it more addicted, if a gambler will experience a win it will boost himself and will think that the way of making money is fun and easy. The addiction will come if we are getting challenge, winning is not challenging but when we start losing that will be the time that we will continue to explore new method and every time we try we need to risk money in order to pay the play. The longer we do that, the more we get used to until we cannot break that tie anymore and we will lose more.

- In addition, gambling activities happen very quickly makes us attracted to it, we repeated gambling activities many times and gradually it becomes a habit, we do not realize it in time, until we realize it, we are addicted to gambling. Fun and greed also made us lose control, lose our awareness, forget about everything, in our minds only gambling and gambling. In short, gambling has a mysterious appeal and makes us unable to resist, we will not stop until we lose everything

Because they have a strong desire to earn a lot of money every time they play gambling in a short time, if someone has lost their money in gambling I think they will come back again in hopes they can still get back their lost money and it continues Until they become gambling addicts.

That's true but people forget the fact that luck will not always favor them and majority of times they will be loosing their money but still people keeps on gambling hoping to make quick money in quick time.

Probably most of the addicted gambling players, being so interested in the big prizes. Well, I'm also sometimes so interested in big, and sometimes addictive, gifts. Grin

I think that gambling appeals to some of our strongest desires, after all who does not wish that it had more money or something like that, I suppose that most of us, and gambling gives the illusion that you can get that extra money by doing something that seems apparently simple.

Yeah I believe it seems simple but in reality it is not simple at all. No doubt many of the people come to the gambling for the reason to earn more and fast money. People gambling will always be seeking a high profit on a very low fee. Some of the people succeed in doing so while many of the gamblers are not as successful.

They go to the casino even after they lose continuously because they are addicted to it and they don’t realize it that it is weakening them financially.

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.

they are people who wrongly assume gambling game. Many people say that gambling is a job to earn money. when it should be the game of gambling is to seek pleasure. Gambling is a game that relies on luck, so work can not fully rely on luck. So it's not the right thing to say gambling as a job, they'll just be addicted until they lose their money.

Because gambling is a fun activity. Even if it has been peppered with money, will be very visible pleasure in it. And people began to get lulled when they had seen money grow when win, and became emotional when he lost.

Not just it's fun but there's a lot of factors that make gambling is an addicting activity. The pleasure, the money, the satisfaction it's like a package that you'll get when you started to gamble.

I don't believe that it's addicting because of fun, gamblers became addicted if the tend to loss all bets at all time and they wanted to win it back. The have no satisfactions over it, because of eagerness to recover what has been loss. The profit wasted through money cannot be taken back because gambling establishment will really wanting their profit to be the first priority at all times and to their customers who play, it was just a lucky reward for you to win and that's the part of the game set play.

Yes, drug addicts are basically not because of pleasure, but because of lust for easy money. Such people are not able to enjoy the game regardless of the outcome.

Indeed addicted in gambling there, but you need to know all that happens does not mean they do not have the advantage. It all depends of everyone doing it, if they get addicted in the bitcoin is done in the right way, then everything will certainly get a lot of advantages. But indeed we need to always be able to control themselves, so the addiction it brings is not bad

Become addictive because gambling gives hope to get a lot of money in a short time. When today has won, then gambler will be wishful thinking tomorrow will win again. And if he loses, then he will try to take back that lose.

You are very wrong, as long as I see all of it in gambling, it never say or give a promise that every person doing gambling can get a lot of money in a short time. All of it comes from those who just know gambling and begins to use it, you need to know. To become a successful person in the gambling you should want to run in a way that is unusual and should be able to refrain

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?

It is pretty obvious because of the chances to get a profit. They want an extra profit by giving a time for easily way to earn money that may called "gambling".

It's all about greediness, greedy to come back their money if they lose, greedy to win more. Because they never realize the possible may happen if they become addicted. They only in their mind is to win, win allot.

I guess its also because of people who surround to us and encourage to try the happiness of gambling and at the end it turn to addicting.

I always have a feeling that the next time I can definitely break a big win and this feeling is very addictive.

I had the same feeling as well but that keep making me lose. Sadly, I continue to do so before even when I was broke. I borrow some money and ended up losing it again. People that have not consent on gambling should not be playing, it is difficult to control it once it become an addiction, it has destroyed me
