I think it is because of the thrill while you are playing it and the drive of excitement,
And also the prize that every gambler is aiming for every time that they play.

Base on what is the majority saying here. This is the main reason of why gambling is addictive because of the possible winnings. And once you are able to see that you can nail it, for sure you aren't going to stop it. I experienced it too in my past and it's really deceiving when you came to that point.

It is not the reason why people are addicted to gambling. It is one of the motivation why people are into gambling. Addiction and motivation are different.

So do you think that because people are motivated to gamble and it's making them addicted? Yes, it's very far on each other and motivation. And what do you think is the reason why these people are motivated in gambling? Because of the prize right? In that way, it is the reason why people are becoming addicted on it.

You're right and i agree that the prize ,jackpot or profit is the main reason why people getting addicted and the one make it worst is by having greedy to have a big winning and at last by losing it all trying to gain back the money they lose so it turns out to be a big addicting games .Its not fun that people make addicted morely its not a motivation itself its a nonsense in gambling. You don't need motivation ,what motivates you?.

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?

Because it gave you happiness, and it also gave you satisfaction too that's why is like that. You are immune of losing money just important to you is to fulfill you complete satisfaction. And addiction is the main reason why you always doing it.

Actually, the main reason why you commit addiction is not because the satisfiction in winning the game, but it is in thr mind of a gambler to get recover from his lost. In playing gambling, once I'm satisfied with my earnings, I would stop playing and and be decent on what I have. However, once I lose some of my money, I would never stop until I recover it and that is the time a gambler get addicted in gambling.

- Right, in fact when playing gambling or any game, we never want to lose and we also do not know happy with the win, we just want more and more, we will continue playing then we become addicted. The most important thing is the profit from gambling is too big, it makes us greedy and we will not be able to control ourselves, greed is the instinct of man, no one can escape greed. And i think the main cause of gambling addiction is our greed

I dont think that people like to lose money however when you gamble , it is not something that could be avoided. Everyone want to win some money as well as having fun . When we are gambling with only a little amount then that is where the fun is , as you can try to get huge amount with it by not risking too much

Yes you are right, Most of people who do gambling for fun. they stake not too much money. I mean they don't risk a lot of money for only get pleasure. Usually they bet with a little amount and enjoy the bet. Even if they lose, there is no problem with that. The essential is when you feel good.

yes they do not lose much money and the positive point is that they do not get any tension in their mind when they face bad condition when they lose in betting while if someone lose a high amount in gambling then it come harmful for their health.

Yes exactly, the worst cases of losses maybe affected a lot a gambler. As you said " if someone lose a high amount in gambling then it come harmful for their health." You are right. So i don't advise people to put a lot of money in risky games.

harmful for your health really? you means wealth maybe? as it's not makes sense when gambling could harmful for health Roll Eyes

, when you lost quite big the amount you can't afford to lose then it's of course automatically will make your financial situation in mess and possibly get worse till you broke and have nothing left. prevent that scenario happened by always thing about this scenario , think what will happened later when you keep gambling like a mad untill lost everything you have before.

There are people who got addicted on gambling. I known a person here in our town who is really addict, he do playing everyday start just for a pastime but later on he is already affecting the live of others. Gambling makes addicting because of the fun it gives, he don't have much problem in money and he don't have to work.

Ahahah, everyone you say does have the possibility of being correct. But all you see are not fully owned by most of the addicts in gambling. For those who get addicted in gambling is far more spent a lot of money just to satisfy their ambitions and want to get a big advantage, indeed it can be done but 99% of people that do it wrong in taking a step. They tend to do less or just relying on appetite than their mind

to me i think it is because that to most of the people gambling look like as in easy way of making money, as in most of gambling formats you you do not need for any skill or experience and you totally depend on your luck, where yo do no need to work hard.

We do need experience and skill even if gambling is believed to be a game of chance (not luck). First we need experience on how to control our bankroll. Experienced gambler can make their small bankroll last more than those novice who have more bankroll, and even making profit out of their small bankroll. In games like poker, blackjack, or any strategy games, player need skill to outwit their opponent. So who say gambling does not need experience and skill? Novice do.

Honestly even if I do not gambling often, I believe that skill and experience is need on everything, gambling included. If we failed to acquire these two, experience and skill, we will lose to the house more often than not.

I also agree that the chance of winning is a motivation to play gambling and it was a noob of me to just realized it recently.

How about the loosing and chasing their looses? Not all the time when you play gambling you will always win on the game. If you experienced loosing too much then why y'll people stop playing? And then set a goal to play at least every week to control emotion and other emotion you had. People now adays thing about winning only not the risk they face before get that.

It can lead to obsession. The fear of missing out. People who are chasing losses fears that they won't be able to get back their lost if they ever stop playing gambling. So they do it in regular basis to not missed out on the chance of having luck and win back all the lost money.

Some spent alot of money while some dont. I dont think that you should judge that every addicted gambler is the same. It is not a wrong step to take. The only wrong step that you will take if you risk more than what you could afford in gambling, so if you could still afford it does that mean you are taking a wrong step as well?

I think its related to human's psychology. Everybody like easy money also like excitement. Gambling givin both. This makes addict to itself. Lots of gambler addict to lose. They dont accept but yes its the fact.

I like horses so much. Enjoy their races. When i dont bet the races i cant get excitement even like the horses. When bet to race it gives me adrenaline. Horses footsteps hit my heart i feel riding it.

Im addict to gamblin but not complain. I like this problem

Its great to see a lot of people talking about why gambling is so addictive. I would have guessed that this was clear already, but let's make it clear if its not:

Gambling is addictive because it triggers certain parts of the brain and some people are more proe to react to those chemical reactions more than others, it's as simple as that.

It is addicting because you can get money from it, period . Especially when it involves a large amount of money, no one will be able to resist it. Money is an essential part of gambling therefore people love it and when they replace it with some kind of token than that makes it less interesting then what it should be

Lol try to read a scientific research on why gambling is addicted, and do not just based on how you understand it. preira4 just made it simple for those who do not understand why people get addicted to some things and yet you failed to understand it. It is not about the money or the greed or the winnings. It is more on the hormones that is secreted on our brains that makes a person addicted to something.
