It has to be something with being bored I am sure. There are so many people who have nothing else to attach to and that results with them being addicted to gambling because they are basically feeling like they are doing something finally and actually spending their time with quality but in reality they are hurting themselves. There was basically nothing in the world that would help them to spend time better and they got addicted to it.
Just to give an example I know someone who gambled for 30 years because he just had a very good business who didn't need him, he was the boss but there was managers and so forth and he didn't had to go to work, he had a office at the top of the building so all he did was gamble for 30 years. 4-5 years ago he started this collective of group or whatever its called and hasn't gambled since that moment.
Topic: Why there are so many people who get addicted on gambling? - page 2. (Read 1082 times)
I doubt its about fast money for everyone, there has to be some people who gamble for fun and gets addicted because thats the only thing they like doing for fun. It might be harmful or not depending on how addicted you are or how much you can stop yourself when you need to, but at the same time even if its harmless and you can gamble within your means it could be addiction if you keep doing it constantly.
I believe anything you do constantly could be addiction if you can't stop it. Watching TV could be addiction, even reading a book could be addiction, we all know coffee and soft drinks and so forth could be addiction as well. Why are they not seen as bad as gambling addiction? Because you can waste 5 hours per day for 1 year only watching TV and rarely you will lose money to it, whereas gambling could cripple your economy.
A lot of people don't have patience to follow process, everyone wants fast money. We all want to achieve everything on time and the fastest way to make such money is through gambling
The fastest yet too risky. Despite of the risk, some of us are still trying to earn in gambling because if you're lucky you can really get rich quick. But the chances are slim we know you can lose more than winning. There's nothing wrong if you gamble as long as you know your limitation and can handle yourself to avoid getting addicted.

Because of their greed they let their greed control them that is why they are being addicted to it.
The first reason is the lack of discipline, if you are gambling that way, expect it will jut ruin your life in the long run.
Greed will kill our bankroll because we will not easily stop when we lose and if we want we always want more, gambling without direction destroys our future.
The first thing you owned by greed by playing any game in gambling whether it's your first time or not, You will this kind of feeling that you won't stop until you win big. this will make a lot of sense if it's your first time because of what you see beside you. people are winning but little you know it's their thousand tries before they won and it took them a huge number of losses before winning oddly. You will come to your senses if you realize that if you stay, you will gonna lose over and over again.
Gambling is everything especially for those what we called compulsive gamblers or those addict on gambling, but it made me realize, why they get so addicted in gambling? if gambling can be the reason for them to lost their money, properties, relationship to family and friends, mental health and physical health. I know that there are gamblers who play because of fun and entertainment, but actually there are so many ways for us to make ourselves entertained without even losing our money.
But anyway, I can not judge and blame all those people because we are all different, we have different story in life.

To answer your question, I think you have to ask why are there so many people gambling. Technically when we have many people doing a particular thing it simply means the rate at which a particular percentage of the users abusing that particular thing will be high. If we only have few gamblers then the addict won't be that high that's why the government are trying their possible best in regulating that section of the economy to reduce the addicts.

They couldn't control it as you can see most of them couldn't control their own emotion.
The hope of winning back what they lose or earning more of what they already have is the reason why they are losing more.

The revenge will not let the gambler to leave the casino without winning back the lost amount, the same feeling is the case for all type of gamblers.
most of the time it's not revenge, Is greed and the fact that people need to recover the money they lost (money they shouldn't lose)
OP, you could as well ask some other rethorical questions like:
Why there are so many drug addicts?
Why there are so many smokers?
Why there are so many workaholics?
People get addicted to things they like doing. Some get addicted to playing computer games, others to gambling. You can't change that.

true and it seems that the people who create these threads forget about it
That is the reason why I don't play gambling because once that you're became an addict, you cannot stop the addiction unless you really wanted to or when you choose to seek help with the professionals. Addiction is not a joke, if you are an addict you will di whatever you wanted to even if you lose your money a couple of times you will still find a way to earn just for gambling. This is the reason why some addicts are triggered to do bad things such as robbery and holdap just for the sake of their addiction.
but anything that exists can become addictive if the person has no control, sex can also become addictive
In short and simple words there are two reasons why people get addicted to gambling.
1- They have a lot of free time and money and they do not find anything else interesting expect gambling.
2- They want to become rich and gain a lot of money, so they will keep on trying again n again.

interestingly, the politicians who are always the biggest greedy people, I don't hear that a politician has lost all his money in gamble or that he has become addicted to gamble
Humans are designed to take risks and gamble, even when the odds are stacked against us.
The simple fact is we like a challenge. We're always trying to prove to ourselves, and to other people that we can do what other people to do.
For some of thus, this means we'll dedicate our lives to pursuing a talent, career or sport, while others dedicate themselves to beating the odds.
Of course, a lot of people fail to do so, but by this point, they have already developed an addiction, which means they're unable to stop even when they're deep in the shit.
Sucks, but that's life. Keep everything in moderation and you won't get rekt.

Being addcited in playing gambling is your choice for sure I believe we have the rights to choose and make our own decision.

I think these are the reasons why people are getting addicted into gambling.
1. Desire to win - because they are being fired up by their desire to win, they will do everything just to win. They will spend most of their time gambling, money in order to win etc. The more time you spend in gambling, the higher chance that you get addicted into it.
2. Lack of Self control - well this is self explanatory. Lack of self control = more time in gambling and more time in gambling = possible addiction.
3. Peer Pressure - because most of your friends are always gambling, they will invite you to play with them and since you are somewhat curious about gambling you joined. That would be the start of your gambling journey and possible addiction. Because of your friends, the chance of gambling is high already.

Right now, they have a lot of free time, but I am not sure about the money because every people will have their own money. They can play gambling, but they need to prioritize their daily needs first besides having fun in other activity.
Every people want to become rich and get a lot of money, but the problem now many people stay at home. And many of them lost their jobs in this pandemic. But they have a new opportunity for jobs from the internet if they want to search for the work from home with the internet.
People can get addicted to gambling if they don't have another activity that they should do every day, so they have a lot of free time. So that makes them browse many websites, and they can found many advertisements about gambling website since the advertisement will show without based on the keyword search.
Gambling is an activity that a person can easily enjoy and make as his habit, it is addictive because people find it as their comfort place. People are vulnerable to gambling because of the possible reward they can get, it is normal for a person to hope for easy money and enjoy every reward they can get.
but Gambling is a negative addiction, if it damages your mind and activities, the worst behavior a gambling addict often does is steal money or borrow someone else's money when they are no longer able to make money.
The said reason can also happen to those addicted activities above.
Don't take gambling as a negative addiction or what, it always depends on how a person will deliver his addiction. Yes, most of the time, it gives a negative impact on their life, this is only because this is the path they choose in life.

1- They have a lot of free time and money and they do not find anything else interesting expect gambling.
expect or except?I doubt if there is a normal person like this. How can someone only interested in gambling and cannot find others?
If his feeling is like that, it means he is already addicted to gambling. I bet he has been gambling for a long time to have that feeling.
2- They want to become rich and gain a lot of money, so they will keep on trying again n again.
It is a too wrong idea to be rich in gambling. Indeed, if someone gambles only for money, he can be easy to be greedy and be addicted because of too high expectations. It is very unfortunate if there are still people to rich in an instant way like gambling. Why don't they just gamble for entertainment and consider earning money only as a bonus? I think they will lower the chance to be addicted in this way. OP, you could as well ask some other rethorical questions like:

But anyway, I can not judge and blame all those people because we are all different, we have different story in life.
We don't know what they have seen or felt on it and why do they still cling to it even if they are losing money or everything on it.
But I guess I understand some of them because I once cling on gambling because I was lonely and gambling makes me feel happy and complete at that time.

By the way, you are quoting a post that has been submerged for more than a month, I hope its not something that violates the rules. 
That is the reason why I don't play gambling because once that you're became an addict, you cannot stop the addiction unless you really wanted to or when you choose to seek help with the professionals.
I can see you carrying gambling sites in personal text on your profile and I dont think you should do it if you dont like gambling. If you want to promote gambling sites, then posting like this is one of the criteria that is not expected by the site. Believe someone might not be hiring you there.Addiction is not a joke, if you are an addict you will di whatever you wanted to even if you lose your money a couple of times you will still find a way to earn just for gambling. This is the reason why some addicts are triggered to do bad things such as robbery and holdap just for the sake of their addiction.
Not all gamblers are those who are addicted and do bad behavior to fulfill their desire to gamble. I am a gambler and also a promoter of gambling sites, I am addicted and want to continue gambling but only if I have money. We have different goals in gambling, partly because we want to earn money, we have fun and we also want to have a "curious experience".

Self-discipline or self-control is so very must in life because it will not only save from gambling but any such addiction which can be dangerous in long term. And in gambling as it involves money and people run after it and sees it as a shortcut to make quick money easily so their try their luck and continuously trying again and again over a period of time they do not even realize it when they start getting used to it.
I think the question that preceds this one is "Have you been gambling?" If the answer is yes, you will certainly know and are familiar why gambling is addictive. The experience and feeling of gambling is really nice. The thrill of looking forward to the outcome or the result of the game, the possibility of winning, the ecstasy of winning itself, the adrenaline to get back whenever lost, and so on are just some of the things I can mention why gamblers are really hooked on it. Even a moderate gambler like me knows how it feels to get lost in the gambling world.
As you ask "Have you been gambling?", i think it would be better to change the question to "Are you actively gambling?". If there are people who answer yes to the question I am talking about, they will already know why they are addicted or will learn while trying to answer this question. Gambling is actually fun to play but also dangerous. Who knows, perhaps this feature of gambling makes it attractive, and therefore people become addicted.
