greediness is the reason people gamble and also for loosing money. I too gamble though.
Greediness happened when someone gamble, especially when he losing a lot of money. The reason why people gamble is they want to earn easy money by fast way without hardwork. When greediness happens, mostly they will lose more than they lost before, and then become addicted with gambling.

Because it makes people to become not content while gaming it will make him/her enjoy to compitent with others it will make him/her more addicted when they are winning the game. Because it will make them happy

Well it makes people happy and really not contented on what you have and still even with that money you can still be craving for more. Greed is a really sin that noone cant overcome so easily.

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?
Once you become addicted into gambling it will never be easy to turn back, it is because there's something calling them into gambling. Like in PSP playstation, I became addicted to it before, then every morning when every time I woke up I check where my psp is, So i think same thing with gambling too. You don't care anymore whether you losses some money.

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.

Why is it so addictive?
Because it gave enjoyment to the for the gamblers, and there adrenaline maybe are always looking unto it to fulfill the satisfaction of their body, in this case there is a psychological already to the gamblers.
enjoyment somebody really different, but we have to respect someone who puts the pleasures of the gambling game because I felt that the gamble I can pull out all the emotions that I had with a satisfactory expression.

On the contrary I think its only brings sadness and frustration for people who have been to casino for real. 99% of the people posting here have never been to a real casino and are posting like they know everything in the world.

There is nothing called "fun" in gambling - people say that they go for fun but actually they all go tempted to make money in a easy way. That greed is dangerous and is the thing that kills.

In the long run, they chase after the losses and end up with more losses. Gradually all their balance is washed away and they are left in debt.

Major causes of gambling addiction is:
- Many people have trouble in life and they see gambling as a way to get out of a difficulty
- A lack of entertainment area suiting with their interests, so many people have to gamble
- Gambling is a way to escape the problem (alone, lonely, bored, ...)
- Many people think that gamble will have a lot of money
- No job, unemployment
- Feel get money from gambling is easier than go to work
- Lack of love and care from the family
- Difficult to integrate in the society

Pretty much false, the major cause is still your own fault for not stopping when you have the chance. Everyone has the chance to stop however only a few actually stop when they feel enough while the rest will keep on going until they lose, point is that we control everything that happened in our life if we make the right decision
I agree those are nothing but excuses, sometimes I hear from bad parents that they are bad parents because their parents were bad too, and what about all of those that had bad parents and are good parents now, that is just an excuse.

Gambling is the best tool to get lots of money in the shortest amount of time with the least skill required. In fact, nowadays the games are designed in such a way that it does not requires you to understand anything and you just move with the flow. The machine or the dealer say you win, you win and they say you lose, you lose your money. And that is why so many people get addicted cause the entry level is not high.

With that said, kids and young people are the usual victim of that, as they just need few dollars and they are good to go and gamble, and it become much easier because of bitcoin, not even their parents knowing what they are doing in their room, they could bet while doing their assignments...

With their young minds, they are very much prone to addiction as their thinking is not yet like that of an adult...  Smiley

I feel to this and a victim  Grin. LOL. Actually, young kids didn't think of risk at the beginning. They just want to bet and win. Also, environment also has a factor in it and of course family. If you are brought up in a family which gambles, most likely you will gamble at a young age.
those people who gamble at first time and mostly an under age players will never accept the fact that they are lost , they will do everything to make their money back , include to chasing the lost . in the end they didn't realize that they are too enjoy to play and get addicted , this shows how important to gamble responsibly , you might won't get addicted.

You are correct mate. When they are just aware of it, hopefully very soon, that they are more prone to losing than winning in gambling and that there is no easy way to win all the time, then they will give themeselves a chance of not getting addicted to it.

Stopping when you are having a winning streak is very hard, to be honest. This is so true with new gamblers but to professional gamblers, they know when to hold and when to run, as what the song is saying..

That is why we need a self discipline to do this.  It is really hard if you lost control of yourself but if you are on top of all the action, you can easily manage to stop whenever you decide to stop even if you have a winning streak.

Gambling is addicting because it feels good, you fell happy and content when you are playing and most of the time if you lose your entire money then you are sad since being sad is a bad feeling the brain wants to get happy again and that means for some gambling again, that is the way to cycle begins.
as simply as like that , you will never can not avoid that when you have involved to this kind world.
greedy always there no matter you win or lost you will always trying to back to play.
that is why you should not gambling too often at least to minimize to get addicted.

entertainment + money. do i need to say more? Roll Eyes
i have fun betting, it's good as any game and the chance of a jakepot makes even better.

and, depending on where you're betting, you can still make some friends and have a good conversation.

I don't believe in fun betting but fun winning. It is very good to have fun after a win and I bet to win always not to have  fun because the bookies are there to take your money not fun so I will go in with the same mentality and nothing else.

the things that make the addict is because gambling looks very good, with sit down, do not go where, and speculation, then money is growing. certainly make people will continue to repeat it.

Gambling is looking good because of the chance that we can win bigger amount of winning. That's the natural reason why gambling is addictive. And every time we are going to gamble we are always excited on it. And we experience to win some good amount on it already we tend to keep on doing it repetitively.

that was just a presumption to you can win big amount from gambling but actually there are only small chances and yes just because some people have experienced it they already think that it can happen again until different instances has occur which they lose their money so they will try their luck again so that they are getting addicted . gambling addiction maybe comes from different ways most of the time it because of the frustration and their yearning to get more money .

Thanks for listing some major reasons why people become addicted to gambling. wow, I can not imagine that lack of love and care from the family can make a person addicted. Well, I think it must base on your experience, mustn't it? Cheesy
Just kidding. I have overcome gambling addiction for many years and I still find it is interesting to read what other people think about it
- Of course, "lack of love and care from the family", it will be affects our psychology. Because lack of love and care from the family, we can   easily approach gambling activities ( sports betting, gambling on the computer,...). Most of these people are very young and usually under the age of 18. Most of the gambling addicts admit they've started to gamble since we were children. This is not my experience, I read it in the articles on gambling addiction
