At first, maybe you feel you will not be addicted to gambling but after you try it then win, you will continue to do it and think that you will always be lucky every time you play the game. Then you will become a habit that will turn into an addiction until you go bankrupt.

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?
As we lose the game, we tend to recover our lost. As we win, we tend to get more profit which is not good. However, what more like the reason why it's addictive, we are enjoying it and we don't worry the risk in a game.

We never really recover our lost amounts - in fact if you keep records you actually get a net loss and not net profit Grin
I agree that winning in gambling makes us play more and more because we are greedy and not willing to stop - since our greed cannot be fed by what nature has provided us with and we are never content with our wins.

We must worry about risks in the game - but again it is true that it is gambling, so no use worrying. Its bound to be gone.

LOL I don't want to sound defeatist here but I actually agree with you. Once you're hooked to gambling and you've experienced the winning feeling, it would be hard to you simply stop. It may take a long process before you can get over that feeling of craving to gamble. It would be most unfortunate if your friends and family get affected before you realize that you're gambling too much

This is so true. I will definitely on a negative side of I just write all by winnings. No gamblers have ever admitted defeat in gambling. You will hear countless stories about them winning big. On the contrary, if they would just record everything,  they will still end up negative eventhough you always hear them winning in a casino.

Humans are pleasure seekers, they will find a way just to follow what they want and follow their dreams. When they are broke, they will be finding a way to earn easy big money that is not illegal, thats where gambling takes in. And when they experience wins, they will be more get attached to it, getting them more addicted to it. Still finding the meaning of defeatist though.

True, so I've learn also here in campaign while also reading a lot of their experience in gambling and I can also use this in my personal needs/wants. Because I've learn how to manage myself and also my personal income in terms of gambling.

You dont need to manage yourself, you only need to think straight about this thing. First of all it is a way of making EXTRA money therefore dont even think of trying to become rich in a single day. Secondly when you choose to stop, you need to have a determination of stopping wether you want it or not

Maybe it's can be desire or desperate measure for fast cash. I dont believe that this is good reason but it can be trigger for it.

It is also the enjoyment that brings to the gamblers and sometimes make some profit using gambling. And this is the start of being addicted in gambling because they know that they can gain profit and they wanted to have more, so the ending, they will play again and again until they didn't notice that they are already addicted and losing a lot of money.

Yeah winning a couple of times has a lot to do with people getting addicted to gambling. If you've already ecperienced winning, there will be an urge to try and replicate what you just did. And with gambling, sometimes you just win a couple of times then lose most of the time. That's why people have to be careful in succumbing ti the urge to gamble more and need to have a lot of self control

True, so I've learn also here in campaign while also reading a lot of their experience in gambling and I can also use this in my personal needs/wants. Because I've learn how to manage myself and also my personal income in terms of gambling.

The thrill of the unknown.  Don't know if you're going to win or lose. 

Well, most people want a good and cool adventure where they need to hold unto their luck and their courage. But it differs from gambling, if you gamble, mostly you don't think that you will lost,  and you deny yourself that you are losing. You still continue eventhough you know you had enough and your family are struggling how you act and how you doing tou yourself and your own family.

you have a point, but for some people they are expecting that they will lose on a single bet so their strategy will they will bet small on that certain point of bet when they know when they will lose, then bet higher if they know if they know that they will win. But still this is just my opinion and personal experience.
Yeah you still have a pointless too. People thay have been addicted in gambling is the reason of that they knew in gambling that it's just easy to predict or to win. But in my expereinces it's just in our first try that we will win but in the end and longrun which is we would lose it all our winnings
You are right, gamblers first prediction always right I don't know how it works, but most of the gamblers won their first bet that is why they will play again to win some more games. But after that, they will get only loses. So to recover that loss people will play again gambling. Free money will make people to addict this gambling.

This might be true but I think it is addicting because of the satisfaction you get whenever you win on gambling. or maybe because some other factors that has influences you might be the reason why you are addicted to gambling.

Hope and ego will make him more addictive because some people will have a soft corner that will make money through but internally they need to understand that they are completely addictive to gambling. Ego will kill them because they won't bother about the losses they think about themselves I need to win a gambling this makes more addictive to gambling.

Controlling your emotion is needed because when you came up to the point that you have enough winning for this day. Your emotion will tell you to keep on gambling because the luck is with you but in reality that will be the time of your falling down. It's going to be a disaster if the house managed to recover all your winnings for not being satisfied.

There should be no emotion involved in the game. First of all, it is a matter of luck so either you are angry or happy it wont really affect the result. Sometimes when you are losing, you lose control of yourself as well and thus betting more than what you could afford . It is just fool to lose control of yourself over such thing

So, if it is about luck then thise VE+ and VE- you are saying have no effect or what so ever in playing gambling games.  These mean this VE things are just a scheme to lure players to a casino, making them think of non existing advantage because it all relies on luck and not on the settings of the gambling games.

You become selfish when you get addicted and you forget you have responsibility to your family, everyone wants to have financial success that is why sometimes we are hoping for a faster way to get to where we want to. Gambling is just a bad idea to consider as a good source of income or the reason for success, chances are low and most of the time we lose more than we win.

If you are angry, it will affect the way you are going to gamble. And if you are aware if you don't able to control your emotion, that will lead you to non stop betting. What do you mean by a fool to lose control over himself? So those gamblers that are losing their control of emotion are fool when they can't control themselves?

Maybe you dont but most people in the world have some earnings for which they work hard and gamble their money from that source. But since it is a hard earned money they get emotional when they lose it. Thoughts of feeding themselves and their own family comes into mind and takes over. That is why they break down. Those who dont value their money will not understand the gravity of these emotions which are fully natural in a normal human being.
There is no problem with gambling your hard earned money as long as you will not put it all because as a person who work hard we also have to reward ourselves by having fun and we know how fun gambling is. As long as you keep your control, nothing will happen to you and you can provide the needs of your family, never let gambling control and ruin you.
