It is very addicting to you because you still have some recovery to do . I know of gamblers who will just not give up because they've lost money and that's the wrong attitude because you might fall victim big time to addiction if you don't have self control as a gambler.

From my perspective, Self-control is the key to getting away from gambling addiction. With self-control, we can know how to gamble and when to stop. And I do not think that all non-addicted gamblers can not control themselves, but all self-controlling gamblers will not be addicted.

Self-control is the key to getting away from all types of gambling. The temptation of gambling comes from within and also there is a social stimulation. But if the person is willing to stop gambling then no one can make them gamble. But if the person wants to gamble no one can stop them from gambling. Hence its totally on the individual's choice whether to gamble or not.

The key of getting away from all those silly gambling addiction is determination. Self controlling yourself not to gamble for few days is not good enough. If you want to stop then stop completely otherwise there is no reason to stop playing for awhile. Some people think they are free of the addiction although they are literally only stopping for awhile

I guess that's an essential part of it, it's probably due to the excitement and hormones and making the brain hooked to the idea of making profit, I'm sure there is a long scientific explanation, but it's really a form of addiction nowadays and it's viewed as such.

Thats what Im feeling as well, this is how I keep on playing despite I keep on losing money however I have now reduced the amount that I play. In the end everything is just so much more better because I dont have to worry about losing alot of money when I play and that is very relaxing

You have won in self control and that is a very important skill, there are some that never learn that and in my opinion people like that should never gamble even once since they run the risk of becoming addicted very fast to something like gambling that will test their mental fortitude.

i am very glad that he can self control in gambling games because not every gamblers can do this and still its hard to do. i admitted that self control is the one thing that we should have and should learn. with so many games in gambling and with self control, i think we can handle from the big loss and we can avoid to get broke so fast.

Yeah i know that feeling. Your mind is telling you to stop and don't give in but your body reacts in thr opposite. It's either you're having way too much fun, or you've lost a big amount and would want to chase it back or you're just being too greedy and is expecting to win more.

From my perspective, Self-control is the key to getting away from gambling addiction. With self-control, we can know how to gamble and when to stop. And I do not think that all non-addicted gamblers can not control themselves, but all self-controlling gamblers will not be addicted.

Gambling has always been addictive especially if you have experience on winning and when you feel that you are lucky in that day but the reality is that we really don't know when we are lucky and if you are able to win some more or as you said lose it all. Greed is also has been in our nature as humans, we all can't deny that we went greedy at some point of our lives because we all have it. We want more than what we already have, Think about some of those millionaires who have the enough money and everything but they still want more than they have which cause them to go bankrupt and go broke. That actually happened to my gf's grandfather they have all the money they have and they have a hotel and etc. but they got greedy they started gambling and eventually they bet their hotel and lost everything they have. So I do think that if you want to gamble you need to control yourself and don't be greedy that's because you can lose all you fortune.

I know a guy from my studies who did a lot of poker not succesfully, he structurally lost a lot of money. He quit it though, so thats pretty awesome. I think he is strong, because he sometimes goes to big poker events, but only once in a while. He still loses some money, but way less than before.

I do not think that it is on gambler alone. There are factors that are in gambling that makes it addicting. One of which is its ability to change the mood of a person. The ability to give thrill and amusements. The ability to make gamblers hook to the game and the ability to make gambler obsessed with the idea that can turn into an addiction.

Thats how I feel fun about gambling. Sometimes I just keep thinking about it, although in reality I always lose but atleast it is nice to keep trying . Somehow I dont care if I lose or win because it is only for fun. The thrill and amusement is what Im looking for when I play so when I get that, I dont care about the result

I tried it a while, but i only wanted to see results. Since you won't win a lot of money with gambling, it didn't do much for me. Luckely im not that addictive.

If you are not addicted then dont gamble too much or you could end up like me. Im addicted and I could not stop however Im different from other people when I gamble even if I am addicted because I dont spend alot when I play. That is why even if I play alot , it will not make me broke although I keep on losing

This story from one of our legendary member here on bitcointalk community is a good example to everyone including me that we mosty lose on gambling than winning. SO if we get addicted, that is very dangerous due to the fact that we lose more than win.

Gambling addiction is really a bad thing to us because this thing will surely put us on trouble later on and we do got broke when we do let this addiction would overcome into oneself.Gambling games are addicting because we do feel excitement which is likely a drug that can hardly be remove after and once you feel that thing you do already seek out every now and then and thats what addiction would start.

That is true! Once we know these facts, we must at all times guard our minds and hearts to not get hooked on gambling because the outcome will be very devastating not only to ourselves but to our families and loved ones as well.

On must think of the outcomes before gambling in the first place. You cant go into a casino thinking you are going to be a millionaire in seconds - even if the casino claims that you can do so. It is only a marketing gimmick so as to draw customers which is being done since the first casinos were invented. The real profit-makers are the casino owners and they will draw away all your balance of you are going to bet more and more.

It is addicting if you allowed your self to be addicted to it, however, I would rather be addicted to something that is productive and will not cost me money. It's sad that there are people out there who are so addicted to gambling that they lose their mind. Just like what happened recently here in the Philippines where one gambler lost $2.6 Million USD in gambling and he lost his mind, entered the casino premises with an M4, burned the casino tables, and stole $2 Million USD worth of chips. His family already asked casino owners to ban him prom entering the casino premises but he still was able to play and lost more money.

If you have been reading international news lately, a man who was addicted to gambling tried to steal chips in a casino in the Philippines, armed himself with a gun, set the casino tables on fire, leading to the death of 37 people, and eventually killing set himself on fire, that led to his death also. Prior to this incident, his parents had filed a request to ban him in all casinos because of his uncontrollable urge to gamble and his debts that have ballooned. Now if this doesn't serve as a wake up call for other gamblers who are addicted, this should at least make them think twice about going all in with their bets.

This is one of the most unbelievably bad impacts of our lives. Look at this time a lot of people who experience this, there should be handling from the beginning of play. So we have to be mentally prepared and everything. We know that gambling is a risky game, so use wisely all the decisions and also how the future will we achieve.

If you are not in control of yourself and just play whenever you want and whatever you want, then you probably have something that you can do but too late to do it, because you are addicted. I hope that people would see what addiction can really do to you, it's saddening to see that he killed people not by blasting them with a gun but with the panic he has caused and stampede and suffocation killed others. Rest in peace to everyone that was killed and condolence to the families that has relatives who died there. Sad
