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

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.

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.

You mean someone who can adjust to the circumstances. Things like this must be hard to find. We know that most gambling players are desperate people. They try to put their money in for profit. Whereas the basic gambling game I think should be a pleasure.

Yes, some studies have found that gambling addiction is more prevalent among poor people - for them it looks like an easy solution to their financial problems, it's usually combined with superstitions that they can somehow catch the luck by betting on some "magical" numbers or in their "lucky day". But in reality it only makes them more poor, some people even lose their homes and families. Gambling is not a job, it's not investing, people should understand that no one is going to give them money for free.

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.

If to borrow money to gamble, or form budget consortium for single gambler, it's a sign they've lost common sense, and this is severe addiction category. I also see this scheme in form of telegram bot, basically just wanting to collect fresh money to gamble, but the future will be destroyed because addiction nature will not be endless if it doesn't try to manage it with positive intentions.

Why is it so addictive?

I think the reason why people always play and addicted to gambling eventhough they lose and lose is that greediness is all over them. Many people like the rich people lead to becoming poor because of greediness. Gambling is a fun activity yet it has some consequences if you somehow do not control yourself in playing it.

Because just like me everytime I lose I always continue to play, gambling gives you the excitement to win and the enjoying aura when you are playing. Gambling makes you to look cool if you win and ofcourse competetive. Gambling is a fun activity and many people use this somerimes to escape from thei sadness.

Because gambling is an fun activity. And every human being, prefers fun. That's natural, humans have emotions. All activities can actually cause addiction, not just gambling. However, it would be nice if the nature of the addiction is transferred to something more beneficial for ourselves or for our family.

well, basically to be able to get an advantage we must intelligently perform an estimate or a strategy well. Because each strategy will surely make us understand how can benefit, where every thing that is in gambling is very dangerous so that should make us cautious and always see every thing that exists therein. Keep in mind not just the gambling profits, but finding the right track

Some addicted on gambling are not borrowing money just to gamble. I think there are only few cases on that matter. Most of the gambling addict are rich that's why they a lot of money to loss and they don't care about it. There is no/few poor people that addicted on gambling because before they become addicted, their money will wipe out before they fully soaked in to it.

I think its called vices, Once you had this things it will become a part of your body which everyday your looking for it to fulfill your satisfaction. and it will really be hard for you to give it up. Which is also you are in controlled by it.

When you choose to leave everything then you will leave everything. If you have the determination needed to leave then you will leave everything behind however when you have the slightest doubt then you cant do it. If you choose to stop then made sure you are determined enough to stop everything

it is very easy to say but difficult to apply, to me i think if a person is addicted to gambling then it not such an easy job to leave gambling. in fact gambling attract people to play and get a chance to become millionaire in a very very short time, although for most of the time people lose money but for every time their intention increase and for every time they invest money again and again.

Yes ,because if your mind is already in the system focusing on gambling the way is too hard to think for you to stop .Its like drugs that you keep on enjoying without knowing the effects on you. That chance is the attractable thing in gambling in which a person wants to play for it to try and try with time you will attach to it and sometimes to get addicted.

Why is it so addictive?

I think someone can be addicted to gambling is they have gotten a lot of loses and they are determined to get it back. I think that's why gamblers can become addicted to gambling.

i think the main reason is that all people know that gambling is such activity in which a person can win a lot in a moment and also can lose a lot in a moment but some people only think about gambling that they will win a lot of money in gambling but when they lose so they gamble again to get their lose money and that's why they play it again and again, and get addicted to gambling.

I agree about that after losing a money they get back again and again as long as they have money in their saving. I experience about losing money by means of gambling and same feeling about it and when the moment that I win a little amount of money, I didnt take the risk to play again.

The greediness of ones self is really hard to stop, but it is a demon or devil that needs to be slayed inside of us. But it can't be killed with just ourselves, we need help from our family and lived ones. Money is the main root why they are addicted to it, because it is the number one need of a people nowaday. That is why even after a big loss, they just come back and gamble again to try their luck that they think, they might win this time, but they will not.

I want to add an opinion, in addition to that factor also because the mindset of most gamblers only hangs victory in a day just to play gambling and not share portions to other businesses, should the gamblers add focus level on more than one business to balance, economics can be normal and regular.
