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

Even though I gamble a lot, I have never been addicted and will not call myself an addict, I always gamble within my means and I have never borrowed money just to gamble that's really stupid and only addicted gamblers do that. No one is guaranteed to win so why borrow to gamble at all.

It's a good thing if ever you never been addicted to gambling. With my experience, gambling is addictive because it is a normal way of having fun. When you started to win big money that will make you think about it again and again so in the end that is going to give you a good insight that it will be your lucky day again that is leading you to addiction.

That's what I thought also, that it's a great way to have fun but definitely, control your emotions. That's the problem that you can have, especially if you experience a lot of winning, just like you said.

I think people are addicted to gambling mostly because they think they will be able to make a lot of money quickly from gambling without much work. In fact, this would not be possible because if we did not work we would have nothing. They play gambling, they lose, they want to earn back that money and more and more want to earn money from gambling. Gradually, they become seriously addicted to gambling. Gambling is just a entertainment game, it depends on the luck of each person, do not be too addicted to gambling

I believe they are obsessed with the idea and not addicted to it. The main reason why the gamble regularly so that they wont miss out. I believe gambling is cause by too much dependent in gambling to alter their mood. Meaning, they make gambling as way to make them feel good without knowing that they had lost their ability to control the urge to be entertained by gambling.

well that's as best as anyone can put it dude. I totally agree with what you said. addicted gamblers I think doesn't even care abiut winning or losing anymore. their bodies crave the feeling that gambling provides and it's like taking away an essential part of their lives when you ask them to quit. it's pretty much in the mind already.

Addicted gamblers depend on gambling - totally agreed. It it like their drug of choice and they wont repent or try to change their ways even if they face grievous circumstances. Wins are the only thing they run after and even if they lose they wont stop until they are winning the jackpot. Hence for the casino owners this is an easy target - they milk out everything and stimulate them more so they lose more and more.

Those people doesnt accept defeat so as much as possible they were trying to win to let themselves that they are not loser.

Yeah some don't accept defeat, same time there are users who accept the defeat but they continuously make plans to retain the loss occurred in the previous events. Here random wins will be taking place without big losses and finally when calculated the result is a loss. Once again the participation with higher amount sometimes safeguard getting the loss back through luck. Some again fails resulting in addiction.

It is not a place for you to have fun. If you want to have fun while playing then the only way for you to have fun is to win. We know that we cant win all the time and we are bound to lose. So how will you be having fun when you lose? you are losing real money everytime you lose and that wont make me happy

yes that is very right gambling is not make for fun or enjoyment, it is just to make money, think a gambler can get fun from gambling only if he is winning the bets, because there is no fun in loosing money. those people who plays gambling for fun only i think such people should try to find other cheap sources of getting fun and enjoyments, as gambling is one of the most risky way of getting fun and enjoyment.

It's so addictive for the same reason investing and reading about bitcoin is. It makes us dream of big wins and gives us an adrenaline rush when we see how much profit/loss we are in.

Researchers have actually shown that the same areas of the brain are stimulated when people day trade as when they gamble, the same for bankers doing investments and stuff. Its the rush and the dream that makes it all addicting.

Gambling and trading is very similar, theres been cases of rogue traders who basically cross the line and gamble money they shouldn't. Its not that rare, there is a chemical response that is normal for humans in risk reward scenarios. That is the part people can become addicted to, some more so then others but 'getting away with it' or the thrill of a win applies to anyone I guess. I think its naturally there as a reward for hunting food in our earlier more basic survival as a human race, its of benefit to take risks but now with money it can also be a negative if people dont realise they are getting too high off excessive risks.

You have pretty much summed it up why most people are addicted to gambling but i think mostly its always the money we lose that keeps us there as we fail to let go and keep playing in the hope of winning back what we have lost and gradually grows into a cycle.

Why is it so addictive?

Because gambling is a very fun activity. Many people play gambling because they want to earn a lot. Even if they always lose they mindset will tell them to continue ro play because somehow they will get back all of their winnings plus they will earn a lot. They only need to have the positive mind and ofcourse right strategy.

I dont consider losing money to be a "fun" thing - dont know how you get so much money so as to waste it on gambling rather than do other stuff with it. People are greedy and they want more money form what they generally earn and so they try to gamble it and win more. It happens that people do win more but then greed takes over reasoning and they cant control their emotions which is why they lose all their balance soon enough.

I do not think it is wasting when we set our plan to gamble for entertainment. It is the same as watching movies or other recreational activities that made us spend money. Though I agree that one of the nature of human is the tendency to be greedy, but not all people that are playing in a gambling site are slave of greed.

I think we must consider gambling to be a mode of entertainment and not as a source of earning. It is not meant to make people rich - expect the owners of course who run the business. Hence if one can control their emotions and not go beyond some limits then it wont be disastrous for their money. Most of the gambling addicts are running as slaves of greed truly speaking.

Not all the gamblers that is having fun is winning, even though they are losing, they are still having fun by interacting with other people, making it as a past time, a stress reliever. Some gamblers can afford to lose those money, in fact, some people have their money saved for gambling.

the dream of winning big and all those possible reason and ways on how to make it successful as gamblers really aiming to hit a jackpot and keeps on trying everything that they know but suddenly still losing it back because of greediness inside their mind, trying to make it much bigger winnings instead of being contented with small one.

That is what I have experienced and I think of the same thing back then however right now Im a different man and think differently. There are so many people out there that is still think the same that is why they cant stop their addiction yet. Im lucky to overcome my addiction although it is not complete but better than previously

Gambling promises something very beautiful. We can benefit with a little effort. Even though there are many examples of people who become impoverished by gambling, but people never feel discouraged. Some people want to achieve success instantly.
