because......

any choice in every bodies’ life is actually a gambling…

choose a wise husband from a bunch of boys is a gambling
choose a school to study is a gambling
choose a boss to work with is a gambling

so, gambling is addictive…

no one can escape...

It might be true that what people are choosing is their gamble with their lives, but I don't think that in that every turn, it is gambling most of them are inevitable to happen.

When you go to school, that is inevitable since it is a common activity as a child, you must go to school. Studying, planning your career and building your own future, that is inevitable since there will be a lot of things that will happen that will push yourself to do things that will be valuable to you in the future. You work hard, it is inevitable that something will happen either you will be promoted or you will be fired.

Choosing a spouse is not something most people do in 10 seconds or minutes, they dedicate time and energy to it.
Choosing a school - yes, it's a little bit more risky, but most parents tend to read and hear reviews and in the worse case they can always change their decision later on.
Choosing a boos is similar to school, in our era changing a job has become something extremely normal.

You can't however change your bet once you choose red in the roulette or under 215.5 in a basketball game, or choosing wrongly the losing team. In gambling once you gave away the money - poof, it's gone, you cannot consider your choices anymore, you cannot regret, you cannot undo what you did except for taking a new bet.

Yes, if you bet on over 199.5 and the game hasn't started - you can place an opposite bet if you don't like what you did, but then you would have to pay a minimum of 5% (if not 10%-20%) aka "vig" on these bets, before the game has even started.

All in all,
When you place a bet and gamble you don't improve your life.

Choosing a spouse - can improve your life.
Choosing a school - can improve your life.
Choosing a boss - can improve your life.

How's choosing RED in the Roulette going to improve your life?
How's betting on over XXX points or under going to make you a better person or pave your way in your life?

Want to treat it as a drop of adrenaline and rush? You can, but it is no different than drugs.

And I have nothing against good drugs, Cannabis can cure many types of cancer, but this is when you take it properly, not as a "joint" or anything ... and yes, it's okay not to go always by the book in life, it's okay to "have fun" (although I cannot see anything fun in gambling) - but it's definitely not going to make you a better person.

Of course you have choices, but the most difficult part is making the right choice in life. And as you put down in your example even choosing a partner in life could be gambling as well because definitely you don't know what will the future if you marry someone. But as @Get-Paid.com have said, choosing a spouse is a long process, you can go on a date and learn the person very well before deciding to settle down, so its a calculate risk both on your part. Its not like gambling wherein you will choose them like you are simply betting in a roulette or pushing play in a slot machine, its totally different.

Well said.

It's just impossible to compare a slot machine to a wife (god forbid, I say slot with 'o' no pun intended haha).

Gambling is about making quick money --> for the house, not for the average Joe.

It was, is, and has been like that for decades.

It's different to the gambling I know, all of the above mention are less risky compared to risking your money to grow by gambling.
Some addiction could lead to a positive effect but not in gambling because there is only less chance you can win in the long run, well, that is the reality.

You choose your work, you can already find feedback from people, or your friends, but in gambling, the outcome is either correct or not based on your bet.

Gambling and the gambling that you are saying is the same and different at the same time. It is true that they are gambling, we are gambling every time in our life but that gambling and the gambling we do in casinos is different in the terms of the risks that we take. We risks money and obviously on gambling, while the gambling that you are saying, we risk our lives since the result of those choices is important to our future.

Yes this is right that everything we do in life is actually a gamble. But that happens for the things that we are doing for the first time and if we are already used to that thing it becomes part of our daily routine which isn't a gamble to us anymore.

As you mentioned picking out your partner in life is a gamble, no its not a gamble. You can say that if your marriage is fixed and you don't have the time to get to know each other.

OP - What you have compared is the personal life stuff with the gambling. Gambling is for fun and does not necessarily be life long but the rest of the things is your life long like wise/husband, kids etc. You can opt not to gamble you money in casinos but to have a good life it always better to have a complete family. Addiction to gambling is worst but to the family and your kids etc is great.

Gambling and addiction both are different,we can say the gambling is addictive but it literally means betting or risking our money to make more money so it will be differs from the cases you have mentioned in @OP.

I do not agree. In gambling the results of our actions will be seen instantly / in a relatively short time. Gambling doesn't require hard effort and it will be like that from time to time. Luck is the only thing that will influence the end result of our habits. Whereas all the examples that you give; chossing wife/husband, studying, working, will require our hard effort if we want to do it correctly. The result will rely on how hard we try, not just because of luck.

Every Aspect of life is sure is gambling but we can not say that all are really addicting, because when you say gambling addiction that would be put to a different topic than bringing it here and saying that all part of gambling is addicting,

When you say gambling addiction or compulsive gambling there is an urge in you to do that it continues despite harmful negative consequences and I really think that it became a phycological disorder that would certainly need care and therapy for a certain individual to stop. 

Gambling can be addicted if there is not protection over the gambler.
The protection I mean are family and religion because most people aware that gambling is risky activity and people realize enough to choose whenever they still want to keep gambling or not.

All decisions made in our life we can call gambling but those are decided us which to take and which to not. Calling life gambling as addictive as it like betting with money is insane. I am sure you do not really know what you are pointing

The main problem is having nothing better to do and turning gambling into some sort of hobby. That was the reason for me, I have literally nothing to do after work and even during work so I get bored and gambling is so easy that when you have the money sent to a casino or dice or sportsbook in a minute and start gambling it becomes one of those fun things you do to get away from your life.

My life was incredibly boring (well it still is but thankfully I stopped gambling like an addict) and I just ran away to gambling in order to have some fun. When you lack things to do in your life and you start gambling it kinda feels a hole in your life and you get addicted to it because you have nothing else to do. That could be a big reason for many people not just me.

OP since you are a person behind mydicebot, I wasn't expecting this question, nor this answer, a little bit different direction...
Btw I would change word gamble with word choice in your sentences. Btw if you call gambling to life, no, it's not addictive for everyone and that's why some of them make decision to break free.
I can't take your proposal in direct way, that's why I made some changes too.

Although we can find many things in our lives as gambling but I don't think if choosing a school is gambling, because gambling is basically both parties who have different destinies, such as someone who benefits and someone who is disadvantaged. In choosing a school that can receive profits and losses, only one individual i.e he who registers. Choosing a school is complicated, but it's not gambling. e.g
If you choose the right school, then you are lucky / benefited.
If you choose a school that is not suitable for you, then you are the loser.
So in this case the one who receives the profits and losses is only one individual and the school does not.

Lol!! These are called informed gambling and not based on pure luck! It involves a lot of information research before we actually take a decision on choosing a husband and wife or school or a boss!

The gambling is based on pure luck in majority of the cases. So the examples you've cited here, doesn't really hold its ground.

Like the others, they are addicted to gambling because they want to get a lot of money quickly. And usually those gambling addicts have felt victory at the beginning of their gambling, and that made them forget themselves and addicted to continuing to gamble.

Mostly people that don't have a lot of money and need more, who also don't know that all games are against them (house edge). I have known some gambling addicts in my life, and a good portion of the people that I knew fit this category. Some people also don't have the mental willpower to stop gambling, which makes gambling a difficult thing to get out of unless someone is able to secure help for the person in question who is addicted to gambling.

At the same time, gambling can also be a perfectly good source of entertainment if you exercise the right precautions to ensure you aren't spending more than you can afford. I personally do this, and I'm not addicted to gambling at all, but I still do gamble quite often with the money I can afford to spend.

Those that are addicted to gambling are likely beyond the monetary aspect i think. Because if it's about the money then losing a lot would make them think about what they lost and what they can still lose. It's the process itself that they're addicted to not the result.

It is money that attracts them else just imagine if their is no money involved in gambling and people are asked just to come and play and go and pay small fees for using it, how many people will exists in those casinos and online gambling. Only those who play it for entertainment would be their rest would not even turn up.

From this point of view every choice in life is a gambling, but I believe it's beyond of being addicted to it or not. Choices are needed in life, it's not an addiction, but a necessity. Of course we might be "gambling" when choosing where to live or work, who to marry, what car to buy, to travel or to save money... Without these "gamblings" there isn't movement in life, or there isn't even life.

However, never forget that you are on the control all the time, you are the one who decides if you are a conservative or an aggressive in the real life's gambling, depending on your choices.

Decisions on life do really have that kind of risk factor thing but it is actually inevitable and always been part of peoples life.So the thing you would do is to
choose up correctly and do take much time to consider which one would be the best option or move to make on where you wont really regret in the end.
Choosing a wife does have a risk but there no such thing about perfect wife or any other related things so the actual thing here is on your own choice or decisions
that would suits you. Gambling game is different because addiction can give out devastating effects not only on your financial but can really mess up even on relationship with your loved ones.

Right.It's the huge amount of money that is at stake that makes millions of people become intensely addicted to gambling.We tend to be more greedy when we think about the big reward we can get if ever we'll win.Without this,surely people will not even turn their heads into gambling.

Really is a big yes your right all in life is gamble
First reason why people seriously addicting in gambling because of their ambition
People didn't contented on what he/ she have
They play gamble becuase they to become rich in famous in to play gambling
But suddenly the result loses of all their money especially if they can't control themself

Choosing the right spouse is not a gamble, because before you get married you get to know each other. You know already what you are going into. You are even given the last chance to back out when the priest ask if theres anyone who is against your marriage please stand up, in gambling there's none like that. Its not right to compare gambling and your decisions in life. gambling is gambling. If you want to have fun and entertain yourself, play and gamble, don't take it seriously and stop being greedy. Its that simple.

You got  a point there, if you see from the other perspective its true that we are gambling every day, when we choose one decisions it can be consider as gambling, but I think there are different in making decision in life and gambling in casino, the reason why we are addicted to gambling is caused by greed, greed of making more money, while in making decision in life we are choosing option to get the best of the situation, making choice in our lives can't make us into gambler

Yes, our life is full of gambling and sometimes we got a good result and in the other time, we've got a bad result. But I am sure that if we can choose with the right, then we can get a good result too. As long as we can choose for the good thing, we will get the good result too. People make their own choice and I am sure that they will think for the result that might come to them and they are trying to choose the good thing. But sometimes, even we are gambling with our lives, if we know something with good, then I think we can predict the next things that we can get and we can also get the good result too.

I'd rather use the word RISK which is more sounds good to me. :)
In life, risk is everywhere and in every decision that we make there is risk. Gambling has different meaning of course especially if there is no money involve. We gamble in life to survive everyday but having that guts to take risk on any decision is the most important thing. Gambling with money is really addictive, you'd better stay away from that or be in hell for good. Losing money will always be in a gambling side, be wise, think better for you to have a meaningful life in the future.

I got your point here that sometimes without realize we do gamble although money are not involved but indeed some of options we have choosen in the real life similar such as gamble and we can not escape from gambling and we can assume if we had pick wrong options such as lost in gamble because it was not according to our expectations

I agree that addiction to gambling is quite a common problem and a concern for many. But I don’t agree with your views on the role of gambling in everyone’s life. The instances you have given are too senseless. I mean how you can relate such important decisions of one’s life to gambling. Choosing a life partner is a crucial decision made only once in lifetime. Gambling involves making instant decisions or trading on luck to earn money. I am sorry but I think there is no relation between gambling and the examples you’ve mentioned.

Lots of things. If you really want a logical or psychological answer google is the place. Moreover, the following topic is discussed multiple times on the forum if you care to look for it. Lock the thread, it isn't adding anything constructive to the section.

You may view at these all as gambling but actually these are choices. Going to college is not a gamble, it is a necessity for some while a choice for some. No risk to take because at the end you will still be getting something and that is learning. Choosing a husband is not gambling. You dont kidnap a man to be with you for the rest of your life. Getting married is not a one night event. Greed causes a person to be addicted to gambling.

Well, no one can escape, but you cannot be comparing what you will have to do once to what you have to be doing consistently. Even if life is a gamble, it is pretty absurd for people to be relating that with casino gambling, as they are totally different.

Choose a wise husband from a bunch of boys - at least to do that, won't you study the person you want to spend the rest of your life with first ? In gambling, there is nothing to study than you getting lucky.

Choose a school to study - That is a one-time thing, and I am sure you can easily check review of schools before even entering any of the institutions. This to me does not even sound relative at all to gambling.

No need to even go further! Sure, we cannot predict life outcomes, but we got to do what we have to do, and in most cases, you will always be able to have options, and plan to do things right, to get the best, based on the fact that whatever you need with research on the school you want to go, who you want to marry or where you want to work can be researched. Those you cannot get from real gambling.

Most of the people that are extremely addicted to gambling are just there for one reason:

They all are chasing huge profits.

That is the only answers to this, and they feel the adrenaline when they gamble, and they get more and more addicted to that feeling.

I don't think that there is no particular cause on why people get immensely addicted to gambling, they all have their own reasons, and one of the many reasons out there is that they are trying to WIN and WIN BIG and WIN MONEY, get that profit that they are aiming for, and if they don't, they put in more money and lose and get addicted for until they realize that what they are doing is a waste of time, but not in all cases that this happen though, just a mere example on how someone can get addicted.

There is no relation between the topic tittle and the first post. ???

The reason why person is addicted to gambling is money,they want to earn money and thats all but their addiction can never fulfilled even though they won lot of money because people never satisfied with what they have.

Although all the above listed cases can be called gambling in a way, they are far from being gambling completely. I've never heard of someone being addicted to choosing a wife/husband or choosing a school or choosing a boss etc. In fact, if people were addicted to those things the way addicted gamblers are addicted to gambling, it could be a good thing. Spending more time and energy on making those choices can result in better outcome. It is not so with gambling, which is a game existing solely for your amusement, and giving a lot of importance to it can result in bad consequences rather than good ones.

Lol at most of the comments in here...  Addiction, in any form, is actually chemical.  A part of our brain secretes a hormone called dopamine (look it up, but it's basically a feel good hormone) whenever we do drugs, gamble, eat sweets, smoke cigarrettes or depending what gets you addicted to something.

And the bad news is, you need to do more and more of that thing you want to do to get the same dose of that 'high' you get.  That's why gamblers go broke.

You laugh at people's answers but you didn't thoroughly describe the subject. Dopamine is only one of many factors that make a person addicted. If it was only one hormone things would be much easier, but it's not. Some people get addicted for psychological reasons, for instance seeking escape from reality and ways to get themselves busy. Victims of abuse, abandoned children, lonely people or those who lost their loved ones, going through a divorce and so on. They're not doing it to get pleasure out of gambling. They do it to forget about the pain. It's the same reason why people get addicted to watching TV or playing computer games.

Here's another reason:

Greediness is what causes the majority of the problem and exactly this behavior of humans this gambling sites and casinos understand and they play them. Well it is individual duty to assure what is right and wrong for them and take steps accordingly. But finally when money is involved humans tend to get the maximum of it.

As others have already told, in gambling games like dice there is no evaluation time: the result is served as soon as the dice has been rolled (win or loss), many people are attracted to this feature that gambling naturally has (fast results)

Yes and i think that it also depends on the person, and the people that he is usually meeting and talking to.

Maybe the most important thing that makes someone start gambling, are his friends, the family, and how everything is going between both.

I can't think of a more good reason that make a person to become heavily addicted other than greed. Greed is the main reason because greed eats your soul from inside, you don't think of nothing else except gambling and risks his life, friendship , job and family.

Once in this situation you should ask for professional help, or in extreme cases it can end with suicide.

One reason is curiosity. People become curious in gambling that they want to try it. They will not deposit some fiat or Bitcoin if its online. If they win on their first deposit, they will continue it. If they lose, they will do some revenge and try to get their money back. Whatever happen to those 2 situations will lead to gambling addiction.

For me the best way to prevent gambling addiction is abstinence. Not gamble at all.

The whole world is just running behind the money and in gambling there are lot of money is in circulation and also people have chance to get them so their greed makes to to fall for gambling addiction.But the formal gambling is just based on the luck and the life related gambling can be tacked with our skills and experience so both have difference.

What you are stating is different kind of gambling, that is gambling in life, gambling in every decision. If we're talking about the gambling in casino. The only reason is because of money. Gambling can turn your small money into big and could make you rich overnight but it's kinda hard. So they keep on trying and sometimes forgot those important things they should do.

People become addicted in gambling if its the only way we know how to earn money its a big help also to thise gamblers because you can find the answer of your finances.It's the easiest way to get money so gamblers extremly addicted in gambling.

Well, greed really is the main reason that makes many people become addicted to gambling, wealth and make a lot of money in a short time, an attractive gift and no one can refuse, all have led them to addiction to gambling. And another reason I think it also contributes greatly to creating a gambling addict, that is lazy because a person who is diligent and has a stable job, they can not have time for gambling while people are lazy, they have too much time and gambling is always a tool to make money and fill their time.

If that is how people find their jobs, I can say that people are not ambitious and so lazy. It is the same in our country as a lot of people are quickly comfortable to jobs that don't have a good salary. I am not saying that people should be doing the same as we should not pass that opportunity but there are a lot of times that we should aim higher since we are humans, we can do almost anything as long as we put ourselves into it.

Having a job and playing gambling is entirely a different thing and I don't know why would someone need to compromise its job and his salary on playing gambling.It isn't
bad but you should only apply or spent a small portion for leisure times not on going all in. Addiction is one of the cause so avoiding it would start on trying to control to engage
your time on gambling.

But Wrong.

You can't make regular money in gambling if you want to,only it will happen if you are lucky enough so who came to gamble for making money will get addicted and also lose their wealth too.

This is definitely the best way to bet on yourself, hands down.

This is the problem that they want to make it a full time job sort and want to make money form it. This is where many end up losing huge money and making the owners more ruich and rich. If they win in gambling just consider it as a bonus and have a great life rather than the lure to make the fortune form this gambling.

You might be mistakenly interchanging the words gambling and risk. In gambling you cannot really know or determine the actual outcome before the actual results really show. But in taking risk you can do some assessment first before you can do your final decision with it. All the examples you have given are not gambling as the risk can always be identified at some point, you can always do background checks on who you will marry, where you will study, and where you want to have a job before even into jumping a decision. In gambling you can't do background checks or assessments what you can do is to only rely on your luck.

Yes.I think it's the wrong belief of the people who make gambling as a source of income.Gamblers may have an instant money in just a single game but it may also gone the next minute around.Winning and losing are just the two possibilities but losing is what usually happen.So if you want to minimize your losses,do not gamble more often.

Really wrong, yet many gamblers are still trap on this belief. They think gambling is the only way to make money, when in fact a lot of resources outside in gambling world that you can make more money without risking a lot of money and also your life. Gambling is really addicting, if its possible to stay away from this much better to do it early, controlling yourself is one thing to prevent yourself from getting addict. There's a lot of ways to earn money, don't be too confident in gambling better to find a decent job that makes you earn stable income, know that you're also risking the life of your family when you gamble.

I completely agree on this.

There are a lot of ways to carefully gamble and one of them is to make a limit in every of your gamble games. It is great since you will be having an amount where you can base if you will be losing or winning or keep gambling or stop gambling but it might be broken by the emotion of you or the greediness that you have. It is better to stop gambling and just bet on what you can do in your life, that is more effective. Also, that way, you know that you did your best to make your life more successful rather than just depending on your luck as a gambler.

Yeah, we don't know when we can win in gambling game but the truth, we know that we can lose much money in gambling. There is no short way to get the money from a gambling game, and we know it but we still playing gambling. But somehow, if we can win easily in the gambling game, then it is better for us to stop the game and quit the game. No one will know when their luck will come and we cannot predict that thing.

If we really want to be focusing on reality and the main reason why people actually tend to gamble, it is always for the money.
I have never seen anyone that approached gambling for the first time all in the name of wanting to catch fun, it is just normal human mindset and the drive comes based on the possibilities you see when it comes to making money and that is where the whole thing get to start from.

Some in the long run, tend to understand the risk and the need to always limit and control themselves, while some do not, and for that reason they become hugely expose to gambling risks and then getting out of it becomes a problem as they keep pursuing what they can't find.

I actually do think that some people just gamble for fun, without even expecting to make money out of it.
I mean people go on holiday to Vegas and spend like $100 at the casinos there, fully expecting to spend that $100 entirely.

Then you have skill-based games where it's really more about the game itself, then to make money out of it.

I used to go to a weekly IRL poker game, which was just about playing games with friends and drinking beer every Friday night.
Sure, it's fun when you actually win, but i wouldn't say that it was any less fun when you didn't win.

It can easily be said but difficult in applying to a gambler. You can't just have complete abstinence in gambling if you have been practicing it for most of your time. But if you are good in controlling yourself and in pushing through your goal, it's possible.

What do usually come to an individual is the thinking that this is just a pastime but when you are giving more time to it, you're getting attached then you will never notice that you are addicted on it already.

Thinking as pastime at first but then enjoyed the game and forgot the time. Curiousity about the luck will usually make people keep trying and tend to use more time on gambling which slowly will make people addicted. To keep steady on the the first plan, make gambling as just for entertainment, will face a bunch of obstacles.

I will say the main reason people tend to do this is because they tend to get the wrong initial idea about gambling.

There is a lot your mindset has to play when you are approaching gambling for the first time. Yeah, the curiosity is there, you want to try something for the first time, but what is actually the motivating factor to want to try it ? That is what matters.

A lot of people are motivated based on their urge to want to make more money from gambling, while some actually try to compel themselves to do it for fun. With the complete mindset of wanting to make more money without understanding the risks, that is where the problem starts when it comes to addiction.

When someone really likes what they are doing means they are getting addicted to it,it may have positive and negative but in gambling it has lot of negatives only.

When someone entering into gambling then they need to know why they were here,the only reason for gambling is to be fun,if they are here for money they will lose everything.

That's how hobby turns into addiction if you are getting attached to what you do most of the time.  All you have said about thinking of gambling as part of entertainment, having fun and don't have to be serious is correct.

And as I've said, doing that to an addicted gambler can't be applied easily. There's a process that it has to go through and there might be some other reason why he/she is intensely gambling. There's one story that I've heard that he is gambling to escape his problems so there might be some personal issues that we may not know.

The easy money that they can make within few seconds is what makes a person addicted to gambling. Do keep in mind that, it is not always about winning. Even losses can make people addicted, since most gambling addict tries to chase their loss and once they are successful, they get the satisfaction which makes them want to gamble more. But in the end, it is all about the get quick rich mentality that makes people addicted to gambling.

It's not about the easy money that you're getting but the thrill of possibly being able to get them. It's not about catching the rabbit, it's all about the chase ;)
The risk increases your blood pressure and adrenaline and you get excited. People like that and that's why they watch horror movies, drive cars at thigh speed, and gamble.

A person starts to be addicted in gambling when he starts winning and gets used to it. As soon as he starts losing, he tries to recovers his losses. Still setting a target is a good idea in gambling, regardless if its target when you start losing or target when you start winning. You cant win all the time you have to keep that in mind so whenever you win, separate your profits from your capital so you will not go home with an empty pocket.

In my own personal opinion, the things that causes person to become intensely addicted to gambling is money simply because we experience greed that we always want to win just to earn a lot of money. That is why a lot of people experienced addiction in gambling because they don't play gambling for entertainment they play just to earn money.

Greed is the main reason why gamblers becomes addicted to gambling. Its either they want to earn more or they want to recover their loses. They should learn when to stop, they need to discipline themselves. I have seen people who we're addicted to gambling who started to have a lot of money, cars and houses who eventually loss everything that they own.

People are attracting to the gambling games because they think that gambling gives them fast money by playing various games. But the reality is they don't think about the risk of playing gambling and they only thinking money. But some of them doesn't think about money at all and they just curious about the gambling games, so they tried to play. But after they play and they can win some money, they think that gambling is a way to earn money, so people keep playing and use all of the money and finally, they lost that money without a chance to get their money back.

The addiction to gambling is very dangerous for people and their family. In my country, a lot of families have broken up because the husband or wife wallow in sensual pleasures of the gambling. "Gambling leads to misery" is the best sentences to describe the negative impact of this game on their family.

I think the reason why they are getting addicted to gambling is just because they want an instant money, they want an easy profit which is not possible. Beside, I think another reason is once they play gambling and lose they tend to play again to retrieve their loss then it'll become habit of them which can conclude that you became an addict.

It happens when someone takes gambling as a way to earn money! Gambling is certainly not a way to earn money for living! It is a method of entertainment! When I visited Macau back in 2017, I gambled a lot during my stay just to entertain myself and I didn't take it as a source of income to fund my visit! So if you are using a method for what it is not meant for, it will lead to misery for sure!


Kind of true! That's a psychological quotient that leads to even bigger issues! It's like taking out a loan at higher interest rate to close a previous loan, which doesn't make any sense! If I loss a significant amount of money in stock market, I would try to recover that losses through traditional investment because that is more secure! It may take time but at the end of the day, I will be getting my losses back! That's what makes more sense!

 

It's not easy you know! most people are already addicted to it that's why most times when I get my pay cheque I just allocate little funds to my account. I do receive payment with BTC so it's easier for me to fund my vegascasino.io account then convert the other funds to cash. I am already used to playing bets online so once my funds in the account are exhausted am off for that month. You just need to have self-control also otherwise you end up selling all your properties to play games. I remember the first time I played Blackjack. I won the first game so I was very excited and at the end of the way I end using up all my full cash, my bonus and also I did use up my transport fair and I had nothing left.

Since then I tried to control my self my playing bets online.  I also believe bonus helps because when you fund less and get more bonus. The moment you want to fund again you then realize the amount of bonus you will receive after funding so you really don't have to spend too much all the time. Most platforms give high bonuses some 50 percent or 20. I use vegascasino because they give me a 100 percent bonus for every deposit. Which other platforms do you use?

Instant money is the biggest lure for people due to which everyone tries their luck in gambling. Some are sensible and if they know it is not going to be easy to win from gambling move away or just play for fun and other who cannot control them self help the casinos owners to make them money as they keep losing normally and still anticipate of winning big and continue playing it.

Yes, there could be thousands of reason for getting addicted to gambling but if we go for depth analysis, we can find out that sticking with gambling continuously is the only reason for intensively getting addicted. There could be different reasons for every gambler for sticking with gambling but all the reasons will definitely lead to getting addicted finally. Even people who are realizing what they are doing, getting addicted over time as they are engaging themselves into gambling continuously.

Mostly gamblers are searching for some reason to stick within gambling. This is kind of justifying their actions but they are ruining their health and wealth once they get addicted. Anything will cause addictions hence the reason is not important but not staying with gambling for more times, is the only solution to avoid getting addicted with gambling.

You are confusing gambling with risk, everything that you do in your life has a risk but you do those activities anyway because you see that you get a good return on your investment, just to give you an example driving a car is an activity that has many risks including suffering an accident that could give you severe injuries but people decide to engage in that activity every day because they see that the benefits that they get out of driving are bigger than the small risk of suffering severe injuries.

Besides you can reduce the risk of suffering such injuries if you drive in a very safe way, when it comes to gambling you cannot do anything like that, if you choose to gamble you cannot change the probabilities that you are going to lose in the game because the odds are established by the casino.

Right.It's the big amount of money that always make the people developed interest on it.Because they believe that through gambling,they can have an instant money but of course,they can lose them in an instant too.So it's always been the greed of people that always lead them to their worst situation.Gambling is not that bad but if you don't have self-control,then it will really ruin your life in the long run.

I'm not too sure if this statement is entirely correct.

I bet that there are lots of people who've gambled their entire life without getting addicted whatsoever.
How many people buy weekly lottery tickets? Would you say that they're addicted to gambling? Even if they spend the same amount of money every week and it does not cause them harm in any way?

It's almost impossible to make these kinds of generalized statements, you'll always have people that have a completely different reaction to long-term exposure.

How we may say that is not an addiction ? Is this statement is not contradicting with what most gamblers here stating ?
I mean most gamblers are sharing that gambling is giving them ONLY losses. If that is true then continuing with gambling for entire life must have a reason which might be addiction.

Engaging with lottery is a clear-cut indication of addiction. See, buying lottery in seconds and then waiting for the result is justifying that you are enjoying your way of gambling ? They might have started for chasing down their early losses and spending same amount or limited amount will not indicate that they are not addicted.

Probably you have mistaken that addiction as a negative one. A teacher who is engaging himself for various education related activities also gets addicted with his activities. I have seen many teachers who are unable to stay at home after retirement.

Now, go back to your statements. Doing something for entire life must have some reason beyond why that is existing. There are CLEVER drunk-addicts like they do drink very small amount for every day but they never lose their conscious also they are able to hide this activity from family members. Could we call them non-addict ?

Trying out lottery tickets must be a pure way of gambling. Because, it is being practiced only for the reason of winning some big money. When keep trying it, a gambler will always get greedy but due to available resources they may limit themselves for weekly once or any like that that. We may term them "CLEVER" gambling addicts.

Well, who doesn't want easy money :D . If they will give you way to have easy money, will you refuse it?

These is the main problem why gamblers are getting addicted into gambling. They see gambling as a quick rich scheme which is wrong. Maybe a quick rich if you are very lucky enough to win consecutive times. Gamblers are getting addicted too because they are losing their money and they want to retrieve it. They can't afford what they lost.

That's why they say life is a gamble. Every choice we make makes us either choose a good opportunity or lose an opportunity. In terms of real gambling, people get addicted to it because it's an easy way to earn money. However, people cannot notice that, if you some up your losses over your winning everyday, most people lose a lot of money because of it.

Maybe their lonliness causing someone to get addicted seriously when they are into the gambling addiction for early stages.And also the greediness for money in the gambling causes many people make addicted to gambling.

But most of the time gamblers only lose money so I don't think it is easy money at all. You bet, you lose, you play again to get back what you loss, yet you still loss, then play again and etc. I mean, playing and playing all over again hoping to retrieve the loss money is wasting money at all. Gamblers get addicted because of greed, playing may be fun and exciting but when you start losing money, it ain't no fun at all. Don't get addicted, control yourself and most importantly, don't ever think that gambling is a good source of money. It is a game that is so risky.

It can happen for people who don't have any other activity, and once he visits on the online gambling and starts playing, he can get attracted deeply to gambling games. I see this is happening in many people and some of my friends slowly getting addicted but fortunately, me and the other friends asking him to join with us and we never let him get alone every day. But we never know what their reason for being alone and stay away from the other people if we don't ask them about their problem.

I seem people allow greed to get better of themselves and in the process wreck themselves and hurt the people around them

This is really difficult question, and I do not think you will get a good answer if you do not listen to two sets of people:
1. People who have suffered from a serious gambling addiction and recovered (so they have some insight into their problem)
2. Psychologists who have researched and/or treated people with serious gambling addiction

For most of us, who are not these people above, it is just guessing.
But... if I am allowed to guess on this thread (and I think that I am ;) ) then I guess that it is a mixture of two things:
(i) being psychologically more likely to develop addictive behaviour
(ii) having difficulties in your life (economy, family, work issues, etc) that trigger this behaviour

One thing I know - it is a terrible and destructive thing to see happening to a person.

Having life difficulties can be one of the factors that cause a person to become addicted. Gambling can be the main thing for him to change his life and unfortunately, he believes that, which will surely keep him away from reality. He can be very lazy in other things and in the end he can do bad things just to fulfill his dream. People tend to look for instant ways to get happiness rather than working hard. Btw, there are still many factors that can make a person to be addicted and it isn't merely because of life difficulties.

Greediness is one of the reasons people become addicted to gambling. Many people have luck of a beginner in gambling and they think it will always be so and become addicted to it  as they cannot control their emotions.

From reports I've seen addiction responce is remarkably similar across many types physical or virtual even addictions.  The body ultimately releases dopamine to reward certain behaviour, if someone has never had to do the hard things in life that didn't immediately give a reward like this they are probably more susceptible to addiction of any kind.   Drinking or anything can feel good if the brain recognises and reinforces the habit.  

Thats a large part of it, I tend to get tired of almost anything from eating chocolate to drinking to anything that at first felt good.   Not sure why exactly but its kinda a good thing compared to the opposite

Besides greediness, they never satisfy and never accepted that they cannot make a big winning in the gambling games and they continue to play the games. They played in every day, hope that they can win much money from gambling and risk all of their money just to expecting that in the next round, they will have their luck and help them to win the games. Slowly, they will turn into an addicted to gambling without they realize and because of chasing the money, they will lose all of the money.

Aside from being greedy, they have no other form of entertainment in them, they made gambling a way of life even if they have no money, they will ask money from someone just to satisfy their urge to play. I have seen families that we're broken because father or mother is so much engaged in gambling that they will spend the whole night gambling. They wake up in the morning start the day with gambling.

Beside the greed to win more money from gambling, I guess another reason that caused many people to get themselves seriously addicted to gambling was to try and recover their losses when they goes on a long losing streak, maybe some gamblers do need to understand the fact that it is quite irrational to be chasing losses from gambling when they are mostly unable to calm down and play the games anymore.

Well, this happens to most of the gamblers around here. They are being eaten by greed and this is the reason why most of the time the gamblers ending up losing their money.

I think the main reason why people are getting interested in gambling is because of the profit it can give to a gambler. Yeah the reward is high and all of us know it but the risk is also high too. Can you handle the risk? If yes then do gamble.

A lot of things can be a reaaon to gambler's addiction in gambling and one of them is yes, greediness.

It is the most popular reason why a person can be intensely addicted to gambling. Who would not want to gamble and easily earn money right? You will be just there sitting in the chair in front of the gambling table and just depend on your experience, skills and luck of course. That is how a lot of people are addicted to gambling, their greediness and how easy you can earn from it though they are always losing.

Yes, I've seen that too in here. Sometimes, that person is not just asking money from their family, but they also ask with force with the other people they don't know, and I think it's related to crime. Sometimes, I talk to them just sharing about their problem, and if I can help, I will help them to solve the problem, and I see that their biggest problem because they don't have a job that can help them to buy food, so they are trying to play gambling. And soon, after they play gambling every day, they become addicted to gambling and it makes them meet a lender with a high fee.

We don't have to go for gambling with the intention of making money if they want to avoid gamling.Since the money is the main reason for the people who are willing to gamble so they will e looking for to amke money by playing continuously with all as much as they can and end up with lose everything still will chase and causes intense addiction.

Well, most of the gamblers that I knew is not depressed nor lonely but they are really greedy. A lot of them keeps on gambling every single day and it makes me wonder how can they handle that kind of addiction themselves. I can't afford that addiction based on my experience in the past. I'd rather be addicted to online games and other things rather than in gambling. Even though I am addicted to that, I can still earn money like joining the esports or something.

I think whole thing gets down to money . In order to make money gambling is played as it is quick way to earn money and in this way may lose money and then they play to recover money which leads to addiction in long run and thus they keep on gambling to make money or recover it .

It's because gamblers really thought that they can really bring the house down and even though at the back of their mind it won't happen, they still proceeded with confidence but we all know what happens next and then the process continues on a cycle until they are addicted and can't control themselves. So its more of a psychological issue and of course being greedy at the same time.

Yes, it is the greed and wish to make quick money which lead us to be addicted with gambling. Even if a person loses in gambling, he is still willing to take risk and go for another game with hope to win and recover all loses. This continues until he has finished all his funds.

I think the main cause is that this person has lost hope in everything else to achieve something in his life and his brain plays tricks on him by making him believe that gambling is one easy way to bypass his problems. Many of the addicted gamblers I have seen in different times through my life were thrown to addiction by this. The most addicted persons I have seen have something in common from what I have seen in my country at least. They all have low salaries, I never have seen many rich people get addicted to gambling.

I agree when a person is deciding to make easy money for his all problems, most of the time he's choosing gambling. Due to the easy availability of gambling and most of the gambling houses are allowing to try with them for free of cost, most gamblers are getting into their first gambling.

There are also no enough awareness on the dangers of gambling like only in our dreams, we can make money from gambling. When gamblers not understanding these, they keep playing and then getting addicted. Because when you want to achieve something, you will not leave that easily like when you keep trying to make money from gambling then you will obviously get addicted.

I've noticed that too. Although there are some cases when rich people lose their mind and start gambling until there's nothing left on their accounts, those cases are rare compared to occurrences of gambling addiction among the poor. I think that is so because poor people are generally less educated and that's why they tend to make wrong decisions, particularly regarding their finance management. It should go without saying that you never gamble with the money you need for living, and yet some people fail to comprehend that.

Money is a big thing that can really corrupt any mind. If you get too addicted with gambling, for sure you will die because of gambling too. Seriously, I know someone who got sick because of gambling and now, he’s still recovering.

If gamblers chases their loses, they will not stop until they lose another money. This is just a cycle that we should avoid. Setting your limits in gambling can prevent you from being addict, know your purpose in gambling and know the reason why you need to gamble. We have a lot of source of money, use your skills and talents and money will come to you automatically.

We definitely cannot stop casinos from operating, they have the end and they have a huge bankroll.
Gambling addiction is a disease, it's very serious because it will target your emotional state, and the more you get addicted, the more you ruin your life.

Money is not the root cause for any problem, it's the greediness of money, so if we are greedy, there will be no more chance for you to enjoy gambling anymore.

I agree. Greediness and lack of contentment in an individual's mind makes it a way for addiction. Since they are not able to control their emotions on the way scenarios are happening in front of them, like losing in a game, they tend to chase their loss since they do not accept such failure for them. Greediness on the other hand makes any individual to do such things just to gain or acquire what ever they what in any way that is possible beyond their thinking which mostly are bad things that is why they get into addiction. If you really want to experience playing gambling, you must be able to have that self-control especially on your emotions so that you will not do things you will totally regret. Luck has always its limits on every individual so we must also do have limitations on the way we play to avoid being addicted intensely on gambling. Which I totally do for myself whenever I play into the  online casino (https://to.crwd.cr/smtm) I am currently into in which I a setting up my mind that I a just playing their variety of games just for the sake of fun and entertainment and winning will be just a bonus to acquire just like what I have experience receiving a great bonus just for doing my first deposit

That is the real reason why people are really addicted to gambling.

A lot of people always say that they just want to have fun or entertainment the reason they are gambling but I think they don't realize that they might be addicted to gambling. They did not realize that and thinks that they are just enjoying gambling. I mean, who would not want enjoying gambling and earning money right? But the reality is more of a losing streak than earning money.

The reasons for gambling addiction are the fun of playing,And dream of getting more extra money

Yes, you have become addicted for a while,There is a famous saying,
Who greets much loses a lot ;D

Think about it dude. If it's for money, then a sensible guy would be aware that gambling has a bigger chance of taking all your money away instead of making it. I believe it's beyond money already since addicted gamblers are more than willing to go broke just so they can play their preferred gambling games.

To understand the cause of Gambling addiction you need to understand the general cause of  addiction.  Addiction can be caused by over indulgence in something fun and unproductive.
Gamblers are probably addicted to gambling due to over indulgence and getting carried away by  the fun

You really prefer to be an addict to online games?  I thought that was a worse form of addiction except  gamers are getting paid for playing.

By the way, playing games every single day can be tasking to computer processors and consumes more electricity.
Not earning atall for either gaming or normal gambling is a complete waste of time.

I think more of his needs to his life will make a person to more addictable person when comes to gambling this will be the major reason for the most of people get addicted and not get out from this in any kind of situation so we need to made a solution for this most importantly.

definitely could be an addictive one we all know that once we entered into this we will be getting addicted in your period of time so I think the money is the most important thing for everyone to get attracted and addicted it will not be controlled by anyone at any period of time.

The beginning stage of putting a lots of interest and attachment with the gambling will leads to any person addicted so if a person made his gambling with more interest then he will definitely addicted to it in a period of time.

each and every single thing in gambling attracts the people when he wants money it could be in gambling so the people who had money will definitely entered into this field by the process of entertainment but when the days are going it could be changing into a huge addiction I think this will be made a person to addicted in gambling.

Addition is due to lack of discipline in gambling, interest could result to positive or negative thing, and that depends on how you handle yourself.

Winning and losing is just normal in gambling, hence a gambler needs to learn how to control himself to be able to only gamble what he can afford to.
Our main intention is to win, but we should know more ourselves if we have the skills to be consistent, if we don't have then we should be wise and just play it for fun, meaning, you don't long for consistent win anymore.

People are mostly addicted, as they want to get rich quickly. They are willing to risk something (money or something else) in the hope of getting something even greater value.

You're being only one the responsible all the coming result, whether a positive or negative thing. You can make it easier or harder, it's ups to you. Whether you're a seasoned user or first timer main intention is to win and win, thus a person to become intensely addicted to gambling.

On most cases which people do see gambling is the fastest way to become rich or simply can able to make huge money in a short period of time without any hardship.
This is why they do play gamble but not all people since there are a few that do only play because of seeking leisure which isnt bad but addiction would
really be always tagged into a certain player if this activity is already done with severe engagement of your time and money.

Indeed, gambling is part of our life, as a matter of fact, every choice we take is a gamble since you don't know what will happen whether it'll be pleasing or not. That is why gambling is sometimes cannot be bad at all times. On the other hand, gambling in terms of a casino is can totally be addictive that is why we must have strong emotion so would couldn't capture by it. Gambling is not totally bad but what makes it really terrible is the people around it. The people who used all of their money and time on it which can cause harm not only their mental health but also to their family/relatives and we could simply call them an addict. They become addict I think just because they trying to get back their losses which is impossible to happen. This gambling shouldn't be treated as a source of income but rather as entertainment like this gambling  site (https://to.crwd.cr/smtm) wherein you can find a lot of games to play in.

How can you say that gambling is not bad due to the fact that it ruined a lot of lives, family and more? Even in some countries they've been prohibited this kind of doing.

It may ruin a lot of families but it is not the fault of gambling but rather just like I mentioned those people who used it in an abusive way are the problem. Probably, they already know the consequences of gambling in an abusive way but still, they do it due to the fact might ruin their life. They let their temptation and eagerness to prevail over their emotion. With regards to the prohibition of gambling in your country, it always depends on the culture we have, every country has differences that is why it couldn't be compared.

They are absolutely wrong and hopefully they could stop that cause we can't be rich in gambling alone unless we are the owner :D.
This  is to realize that gambling won't be able to provide good income to us instead we are the one who made them become millionaire.

And that's how business goes and we have seen that gambling industry is so vast and booming due to us gamblers who do make them rich.
And this should be the thing we should realized when we do play.Play on moderation and spend the money that you can afford to lose because
if you do treat it on other way around then you would really able to experience the negative effects of gambling addiction.

Its is basically the attachment and interest in gambling that become so strong that it falls in the addiction. Too much bonding with gambling result in addiction to it.



People should realize that there is no easy money in this world, and if there was any easy money, would not everyone be using it to become rick instantly ?
Its time to realize that gambling is also not something which can make you quick rich in no time.

For few lucky bettors things are different, but we don't have same fate, most of those who believes that they can be a quick millionaires because of this
activity will surely became broke if being too much engaged with gambling, always need to have a good control and manage yourself when you are playing
as winning to have some fun is much better than trying to earned in a quick manner.

Sometimes it is not that people want to get rich so quickly, it is just that there are some people who want to spend most of their spare money just for entertainment. Those people who got addicted were the ones who don't know how to control their emotion when it comes to losing. Sometimes using the martingale strategy will drag them more down to debt and that's why the reason for most addicted gamblers trying to take back what they have lost.

It is that quest to become perfect that makes you a gambler. You try to choose the best employee and the best thing to use. But not everything is gambling. Here we need to look at the addiction for utility and the addiction for making money separately.

Gambling for making money is addictive for it can lead to financial losses and making money for the sake of money is something that is also looked down upon.

To become perfect ? No i dont think so  . if you want to be perfect you should try it on other things like for example making your self good  . people will fix thier self if they want to be perfect .

Gambling for making money is addictive but gambling for making fun is also addictive once you enjoy  , you will keep on coming back just like what you feel on playing video games .

Exactly.Most of the gamblers today are not just for entertainment purposes only but only to make profit the most.So they keep on gambling until they will hit a huge profit.But this is a wrong mindset for a gambler because he lets his greed control himself which will not give any good result in the end.Instead,it will even make his life's situation even worser.

The OP relates our everyday choices to gambling. There's some logic to it. But real gambling is really a different scenario. If you are addicted to gambling, you know that there will be negative repercussions on you sooner or later if you don't handle your gambling activities well. Whereas, those mentioned examples by the OP when you get addicted to it, will give you great results, like addicted in studying, or addicted with your work.  :P

Spending too much time can lead to addiction, and if a gambler chooses to be like this, addiction is possible in a short period. I think the money itself makes gambler more addict on playing because if they don’t win at all for sure they will stop it.

Sometimes you just feel that you want to reach a higher profit...
Based on that situation you will end up eating those big red streaks and probabily bust.
Which will lead to a more intensive bet strategy to reach negative lost profit.

Plenty of free time. This is because during your free time, you are more likely to find something that will entertain you which in this case can be gambling. When you have plenty of free time, it wouldn't matter so much for you thus your self control could become weak.

A recent book I read, says that the main reason why the player acquires an addiction is because it plays for a long time and, when playing for a long time, begins to lose and generates the need to recover. Then, the player begins to move away from their daily activities and in their environment begins to talk about the game, to seek opinions and to make known what they do, so that people begin to be interested.

When there is not much control in the game, the player tends to get away from his family, and the big losses he has in the game, he assumes as normal, at that moment he begins to lose quality of life, even some players mortgage their properties. . According to the book, it is recommended to seek professional help as soon as the player starts to move away from their daily activities.

I would say that the   book is absolutely right and it aligns with my opinion on what causes gambling addiction.

I think people who play gambling for entertainment most times become addicted because out of excitement or pleasure they spend a lot of time on this game and they always see reasons to gamble with increasing amount of money to fulfill their excitement, this people become restless whenever they are trying to stop this game and it has effect in their brain, with time they start to stay away from friends and family.

They see a need to gamble whenever they are distressed and it becomes terrible when they always see need to gamble when they are feeling distress. I do not need anyone tell me such people need  immediate help from a professional as gambling is not meant to make people feel this way.

I don't think anything other than the win feel and greediness on money. Once you have experienced winning some money from gambling and have seen too many playing with a huge amount and winning a huge amount multiplying the investment into 5 times, you will not feel like stepping back.

Some people are intensely addicted to gambling simply because they are obsessed on winning the prize and winning back the money they lost.

I think so, most gamblers are people who have a lot of free time, they don't have a busy life so what they do is focus on gambling and becoming addicts, for workers who are busy, it is very rare for them to become addicts, because their time is spent on their daily work

Despiration. Most of people who are getting addicted in gambling are those who are despirate in getting money as soon as possible due to some reason. Some of them are also jobless who are only depending on the salary of their wife/husband/parents.

It will be bad  if someone who work and gamble and it make they suffer. Because some worker play gamble to look some fun. I think addicted is good as long they can control how much  they spent on gambling.

Here are my thoughts.

• The lack of self-discipline, if a person has a discipline and can play for a short amount of winning/losses and not be too much greedy for money.
• Greediness, when it comes to gambling most players are greedy for the money that they can potentially win without knowing that they are becoming addicted to gambling.
• Depression, we all know that being depress we tend to look for a medium or something that can take away our depression for a while which leads to gambling.

---

Being addicted to gambling is not good for you and your family, seek help, dont be afraid or shy to tell your love ones that you are addicted to gambling. Sooner or later something may happen to you. There are groups that can help, you just have to admit first to yourself that you are an addict to gambling.

This is hard but I do know some gamblers but they are not like this luckily.

I thought this is just in movies but I guess there are really gamblers like these. I know gamblers that do gamble a lot of money betting them by their luck which I don't like. I don't want to be in their way to what they want since we all know that learning is a painful process, we all walked to that process and that is the same with them. If they want to learn, they will stand for themselves and we are just here to support them when they needed it.

What do you think of wedding?picking without learning the person we will going to marry?this needs LOVE and PASSION before accepting to marry one person
As a Parent i make sure that my children will be on the best and finest school from my town so basically i dont Gamble at all for choosing schools
Lol you cannot choose a boss,because the bosses will choose you make sense mate
Try to find good views in life,and if you are a gambler then better stop if because its not helping you at all

This is the actual reason why people are gambling and when they are on a losing streak. I believe that this is the thing that we cannot take out from people. Because of this alarming mentality, we should prevent it from happening.

Desperate that they want to win as much money as they can. It can be the reason for some gamblers that made themselves addicted and if it's not like that, some just want to recover their losses and they can't accept the reality that they've lost.

To those that are addicted gamblers and they don't have their own source of income, it's shameful to be in that kind of situation. You have the guts to gamble with others money while you are having.

Greediness also plays a roll in this. The average gambler is always greedy he/she wants to keep on winning and doesn't know when to call it a quit to take out profit. Losing also contribute to getting addicted to gambling and winning also has a effect, encouraging the individual to continue gambling since he/she always wins.

In conclusion, every thing has a effect towards addiction to gambling that's why too much of everything is bad.

Greed is always been present when we do talk about gambling.It do always exist yet human being is greedy in nature so when we do deal on making
money then this attitude would come out.It would depend on how you do able to control it when it tends to over come you.If you are fully self aware with
your actions then you most likely able to avoid such stuff.

That’s why you have to spend your free time well so you will not get addict. The eagerness of every person to make easy money makes them more addict and since gambling is a great way to win big money they tend to do it more often. Addiction can ruin your life and everything, control yourself now.

Nice view but I think the pronounces one I mean the one we all know is too addictive to the extent that some people are already broke but are still looking for money to borrow and gamble again.  I believe live itself is gambling but we are not addicted to it.

Yes, if we realize that our life is full of gambling because when we decide for something, actually, we are gambling with the result and sometimes we predict the result.

We never think that is gambling because it's not using money and we only think that gambling is one related activity and use money and the result is we will get the money.

Gambling is very addictive, and we know that playing a game in gambling can make us become an addicted person in gambling. Although we know that it is not good for us, we still playing gambling because we enjoy playing the games.

I think the psychology of losing money on something that is luck based makes people question their luck. I mean sometimes people go unlucky too many times in a row and they think that they can't continue to be that much unlucky for too long so they need to start winning because their luck will turn which sometimes do happen but most of the time because of the house edge doesn't happen that frequently.

I just want to tell all those people who chase their losses because you can't lose 18 times in a row, well you can, its common and it happens. Having a 20 losses in a row on a dice game is 20% for $50k tries so the longer you play the higher chance of losing many times in a row becomes. Chasing the loss becomes an addiction in many people and can't stop until they recover all their money which most of the time they don't and that is why they become addicts.

There are many reasons to be addicted to gambling but in my opinion, the main reason is the medium of entertainment. Gambling is one of the popular media entertainment for this period, there are many online sites around this gambling that offer new and attractive benefits to people. Many people think of Gambling as a means of making money. Gambling is actually very addictive because it is a very natural reason to add gambling to its features.


Thank You

But think it this way. If you will be spending your time on gambling, your free time, that would also make you addicted since that way of passing the time will become a habit of yours, will be a hobby, and will turn to addiction. If you are using it in your free time, be sure that you can still gamble what you can afford. You might regret it if you don't.

We can't assured that we are only going to use spare time and money because once we got engaged self control is really hard to do, overcoming your addictions is way far from just quitting after playing some games, it's a process where you needed to win over your emotions, make sure that you are well aware of possibilities.

  There is no need to overcome this issue as we know there are so many gamblers who are gambling and earning from it, when you first enter gambling then it is not good to quit because the more you spend your time you will become experienced, so time makes us perfect never give up just keep trying and stay with gambling.

I get the point which I certainly agree with. In my opinion people become intensely addicted to gaming when they actually relying everything to it, like making a living through gaming,  rhe pressure that they actually feel make them more eager to win in every game which lessen the ability to think about the better strategy to increase the probability of winning. Gaming is mainly for entertainment, and since it attracts so much audience then programmers start to incorporate money to it which makes us more determined to play. I see gaming as a way for me not to be bored, and I prevent myself from being dependent to it for me to sustain the things I need that is what I do whenever I engage in  casino (https://vegascasino.io/casino/video-slots/durian-dynamite?utm_source=ccdd) with proper moderation in playing their various games like  Poker, black jack, slots, roulette and many more also enjoying their great deals of bonuses since they accepts bitcoin deposits.

This one here is a really bad advice and example to follow.Many gamblers suffer losing big money by thinking that with time they will become more experienced and win in gambling, while experience does matter it is not a determining factor to win in gambling.When you become addicted there is only one solution and that is to get help in a professional manner.

For some  people that could be the only way but not all addicted gamblers have the same situation. Some of them just need a little nudge or inspiration from close friends and their families to rethink their habits. Professional help are for those people that are beyond influence from their family and friends. A severe case like that destroys relationships so last resort would be to get help from someone who specializes in psychiatric fields.

No doubt for that because if we like to play the game with money involved, the passion for repeating it on the other day will always come and that will make us play over and over. We cannot deny that passion will always come and we need to control before we are losing control ourselves. Once we lose control, you will know that we cannot stop at the right time.

Firstly, as the OP stated every part of life is gambling choosing the perfect partner, boss to work with, course and investment with the inclusion of real gambling what usually lead to addiction is not accepting and abide by the certain rules of life and the game.
We both know the chance of winning in gambling is 1%, if accept and live with it such person will always accept his fate whenever he lost the game and such person won't be addicted.

It's lack of self-control that ruins a gambler.
Unlike other addiction, gambling does not have any physical addiction, it's all in your mind and nowhere else.
Though mental problems and Gambling are sometimes studied together.
I remember the case last year a gambler shot people in a concert in the middle of Las Vegas and was a mental patient.

You're definitely right when you said gambling addiction have nothing to physical addiction because the buzz which drifted gamblers into addiction have to do with to do with mind and thinking. However, no one can totally control himself except such person know to accept the fact about gambling and also a discipline type.

It is considered that gambling addiction is caused by desperate financial need in most cases, but I personally disagree with that notion. There are many rich people addicted to gambling because of their greed. It's not that they are in desperate need of money, but it's just that it's never enough for them. Also, there are people who think that they are poor while they are not. Those people desperately try to earn money at all costs, not only with gambling, but with it in particular, until they become really poor. Don't be like them. Don't think that you are smarter than others who earn their money through hard work, and you'll be okay.  

Not only for the profit but also for being entertained  . gamblers do also play gambling because they want to past the time or to enjoy but that does not mean that they are already rich   . they still expect to earn but their main goal is only to have fun . now when they are hooked in the game the forgot the time , they forgot to eat , etc... This is a sign that they are addicted because they cannot get enough of playing   . this was the same feeling when we got addicted on other stuffs like for example playing video games , or drinking alcoholic beverages , eating , etc...

Well for some it can be a way to make money but for most people, especially the smart ones, it is just for entertainment.
Addiction can be caused my things out of your control like genetics.  It can also be ones environment and your surroundings.
if you want to escape your gambling addiction you must change your lifestyle.

Basecon my experience before the reason why i intensely get addicted to gambling is when i am losing. I wanna get back with my losses and for that i kept on playing until i win back everything. However outcome is the opposite, i keep on losing.

That feel of being greedy chasing your losses makes you more addict, i was like this before but when I lose more i tried to control myself now. Being addicted in gambling is a choice that people always do, you can still escape from that just try to control yourself.

Yes it's always the greed that makes us fall into addiction. But i think gambling addiction can be prevented if you can discipline yourself or even change your focus in life. Minimize gambling and give more quality time to your family and to some hobbies that are more profitable than gambling.

The immediate need for money and the hope of winning is one of the reason for users getting intensively addicted to gambling. Once in need gambling could have helped with the winning and the same is not possible to happen forever. This is where the misunderstanding on gambling happens and users gets addicted.

I don't think any of your selection can be considered gambling unless you select blindly like for example choosing a school to work is gambling, you just going to choose any school, you will do a research on the reputation of the school, you always set up criteria to come out with good results, you don't do this thing blindly, if you choose like that, then you are indeed gambling.

Yeah, but the question is, what causes the gambling addiction? I think it is something different from addiction to video games, because you can't win money with that activity. And it's different from drinking alcoholic beverages because you can't get drunk with gambling. Same goes for drug addiction and many others. If we will manage to define the source of gambling addiction here, we are likely to find out the ways of preventing it.

Gambling addiction is most likely the most dangerous type of addiction.
It entails money when you are addicted in gambling, with lack of control the worse thing that might happen to you is you get bankrupt and might become homeless. All addictions are bad but this one I don't want to see someone suffering, I've been addicted in the past but not severe.

Lol you need not to choose overnight so how come that it was a gambling?such a stupid idea ,are you that desprate to not examine and learn for long time before choosing someone to marry?only fool will believe un that idea
Wondering from where you from?does your country has no best schools to study?because lots of universities can offer best education that competitive worldwide
Well choosing a boss to work is gamble but you can always find anyone good because they cannot lock uou in thay office

Not all people treating gambling for money make some of them they play for just fun not to make money, but yes  many people goes into addiction in gambling because of the obsession to make huge money.

I dont see the activities you listed as gambling. They are choices that people make in real life situations ,unlike gambling on games which is base on decision of punters to make money. And now to your question, GREED is the major cause of making people addicted to gambling.

I think most of the activities we do in life are gamble and the one op is referring to is the type we play in both offline and online.  I think many of us could have played gamble one time but there are people who are addicted to gambling and to me this always happens out of the desire to keep winning and make more money.

You might not believe in the notion but it is absolutely true that gambling addiction is done of desperate financial need. You can carry out your research and you will be sure that this is totally correct. Forget, those rich men. In Economics, there is a saying that human wants are insatiable. This is the situation with these so called rich men.

Majority of them are still looking for more ways to multiply their money and gambling happens to be a good option for them, because they can be having fun while playing and as well have the aim of multiplying their capital.

Exactly, being too much engaged and being controlled by this greediness inside your minds, you will be easily attached when you think it's easier to make money when you deal with gambling, instead of treating this activity as a source enjoyment, but due to this greed which automatically build inside your minds you'll be getting too deeper and will keep playing all over.

Well, I think as long as there's risk you are gambling your chance. The reason why gambling is really addictive is that the possibility that people can make a lot of profit from it in an easier by taking the risk. People usually likes taking risk with the hope to get something from it. Sometimes too much gambling is not really that good since it can lead to addiction, bankruptcy, and a lot more.

I had a friend before who was wealth and have lost everything he had, including his house, savings, business, and also family due to his gambling addiction. That is why gambling will never be a good and easy way to get rich. It's not even a good habit to start with.

Everyone desires the same on business as well as any luck factor. We need to know the winning possibilities before you make the investment on any gambling platform. Addiction is start increasing when they make the continous profit.
If they loose the fund will be increased? Surely not.

Greediness is the single I can define for the people to get addicted.

Well, all people are greedy. But, the first to cause a gambling addiction is financial problem in my opinion. Many poor people hang their fate to gamble, and when they start winning, they will play again. When they start losing they will be mad and play again and again. This habit will start becoming an addiction until they can't get back from it.

Having the desire of making money is the main reason for the people getting addicted to the gambling,other reasons can be having huge amount of money but don't know how to spend in the useful way or want to experience adrenaline pump too often.

Most gamblers are people who want quick money without working so hard for it, and that lead them to loose more of their money but they usually try to play in other for them to recover their looses and in doing so , they lose more money.

I think it's different the gambling of what you are said, but the person who are addicted in gambling is because once they lose maybe they want to get back their money that lose from gambling and also once they earn money through gambling they will be thinking about more profit and they are excited to the money they get incase they win and from the other reason maybe they are enjoying playing but we need to care our money because it is important compared on that.

Having huge amount of money and no idea on how to spend them is a very rare problem. And this is the problem of rich people. Add to that those gamblers that have lost large amount and can't recover it because they are still longing to recover it through gambling again.

And that's the start of it, aiming for something that you can't get especially in gambling would make you an actual addicted gambler because you're into it. The main reason is already given and we all knew about it, making money and other specific reasons like getting your money back turns you into a gambling addict, gradually.

My past addiction which I can compare to you as not severe was during my high school days, I was addicted with lottery betting games but suddenly after few years I've realized  I was not meant to be addicted if I controlled myself. Primarily the cause of being addicted was, you just let yourself be drowned to gambling without thinking the value of money that you're hoping to be doubled when you win. But lucky wins isn't certain at all, and I don't think it will be for us most of the time because everything with gambling was a random state of probabilities; no assurance of earning sustainable profit.

Target of gambling sites were those rich people because they will bet an amount on single bet which is the total life time bet of a common gamblers.

 Maybe because of lack of knowledge to build sensible strategy and they dont have enough experience to deal the consequences of gamble. Also, the eagerness to earn quick money on gambling may lead to feel anxious on continuing on playing even with huge of loses, that may affect to our self-conscious to act on addiction.

most gamblers may have had a hard time becoming an addict and that's true you will sacrifice all your possessions to gamble. I once thought, how brave I was, I could use all my treasure to gamble? then I began to realize and control myself, then I quit.

All because you can't control yourself to stay on the right track, so you become an addict

Gambling is addictive because of the price money. All youve been saying dont have any relationship with gambling.

1. Love never become an option not unless the situation gives it to you. If you really love your partner, you wont gamble to make ypur relationship grow. There are just people who are selfish enpugh even they have a family.

2. Why would a school become gambling? Gratuating from a university is your choice. If you dont want any future then dont study. There are people who become billionaires even they study on the poorest places.

3. You dont choose your boss, you choose the work. If you dont want to work then be the boss.

Its not the partner, the school nor the boss, its the person's decision to gamble and there's always money involved.

You know, losing all your money and becoming homeless is definitely not the worst thing we can expect from our friend called Life.  More than 10 million people are in prison around the world, and I can assure you that most of them would prefer to be homeless in New York, London or Paris, and many of them would prefer to be homeless anywhere, only to not stay in jail. I'm saying this for people who lost everything to gambling, and now think they are the most unhappy people in the world. No, you are not. You've learned your lesson, now move on, start a new life, and never engage in risky activities again.


Actually I did, and I came to conclusion that this is not correct. Many researches show that gambling addiction is an illness, not a financial problem. A desperate financial situation is, in most cases, caused by gambling, but not the vice versa. It is a lame excuse for gambling away all your families' money, that you just wanted to make your financial situation better. Gambling addiction, in contradistinction from alcohol or heroin addiction, for instance, is something that is much easier to get rid of. So do it. Just kill the greed inside your mind, and either never gamble at all or do it moderately, for entertainment purposes only.

It is all a matter of mindset. Mindset can make you intensely addicted to gambling if you think of gambling a way of making money or something to impress your girlfriend. This makes you gamble again and again. Despite the great worth of the gambling industry, it should be kept in mind that one cannot win all the time at gambling and should understand the house edge as well. It is good for entertainment like sports gambling and a positive mindset towards gambling keeps you away from addiction.

I hope that every gambler knows about that so they can prevent from becoming an addiction to gambling. By having a good mindset about gambling, we can think that playing gambling every time will make us lose money. We cannot recover the money even if we add more balance in our account and it's all about luck. We need to learn about how to make a good mindset for gambling so we can be free to play gambling in anytime.

Yes, they are the niche market for casino's but as I've said that thinking about those rich people that doesn't know how to spend money, yes I've known some incidents but I'm just saying that this kind of reason is very rare.

And finding for those YOLO bettors is also rare but okay, there are gamblers that are actually on that situation. That kind of attitude will seriously make them addicted, they are rich so money won't be a problem to them unless they are near to bankruptcy.

no gambling is not bad at all. everybody keep blaming gambling again and again. it's like if they hit their toe on the side of their bad then they blame bed to be there. gambling is just a game so as long as you play it for fun it's a very good and refreshing game but when you lose your common senses and believe on your stupid humanity you will lose and its also good because it makes us mentally strong. your life is not gambling its not truth or dare you to have to beat it. everyone can get their dream life all they have to do is take correct decisions at the correct time.

For gamblers who are responsible, we don't blame gambling for our loses, once we accept the challenge, we are also ready to loss.
Blaming gambling will only show our immaturity and that tells we are not good in taking risk, like even investing in crypto.
I'm a serious investor and I can still gamble at the same time, but I make sure I have separate treatment on both.

Yep, gambling addiction is about immaturity and insolvency in life. Someone who can overcome himself and change for better may become a way better gambler than others.

Simple, the rewards and the money. Winning/losing in a gambling game can hamper hamper your decision making skills since you are blinded with the hope of winning money. Regardless of the results of your game (either you win or lose), the result would still be the same- you will still play the game.

In gambling, one must possess discipline and self-control over the temptations in the environment. Setting limitations can significantly provide you with the necessary help over the addiction but change really comes from the mind and the will.

I think your approach to gambling is a healthy one. Spending on gambling less than 2% of what you spend on investment(I don't how much you spend, but I suppose even less than that), you will never have the urge of recovering your losses and thus you will never become intensely addicted to gambling. Gamblers should understand the difference between gambling and investing. Gambling is game, investing is work. You shouldn't play a game expecting that you will earn from it as much as you can earn from your work.

That's how you do it, thinking this way will make your life easier.
Gambling cannot be a thing that we have to be serious with, it will only frustrate us, as no matter how hard we tried, we can't erase the fact that we will loss most of the time and because of that, our work ethic could be affected and that will put our investment riskier.

The reason behind addiction is the frequency of use. If you gamble a lot, day and night, you could become an addict or you are already an addict and you do not know it and by the time you come to know about it, it’s very late. There should be equilibrium in the activities one do. Excess gambling for the sake of making money is the main reason why people get addicted.

Well, that's really a reason for this, gambling constantly and when we make it a habit, we are addicted to gambling but lurking behind this reason, it is the shadow of failure and greed, gambling addiction comes from these two factors. We always want a better and better life, gambling is the fastest way to get us there and this greed has led us to ignore wisdom and analysis, everything is not under calculation and thinking, more failures, not accepting failure, continue to participate in gambling, all created an unnecessary addiction

Well on a contrary people who blame gambling are.those.people who don't really understand the.game and also those who always lose because of greediness

Gambling is a place where we.can enjoy at the same tims have a chance to win, but not necessarily need to expect winnings because.the main objective is to have fun and enjoy

A person or a gambler will become intensely addicted to gambling is when he wins more than once because he will constantly think of him winning the game even though he already lose big amount the more he lose the more he will gamble to the point of being an addict in gambling

That is gambling, life is not gambling but determining the decision at the right time in life is indirect gambling. Gambling is a game of luck and living a life is a must for us to have good decisions at all times. In this case there are many parts that can be linked, but gambling has indeed been labeled negative but it's different when we can control it well and get good results too.

Gambling has been portrayed negatively by most of the users, to get rid of the same isn't a simple thing. As people go uncontrolled the same continues. Gambling is indeed not that bad as mentioned, people should know when this need to be used and the for what purpose it needs to be preferred. When these factors were clear people won't get addicted easily.

That is the greed of a human being.

If you will be having a mindset towards gambling, you should be able to tell how much you are losing, how much you are winning and how long you would be able to keep that kind of bets in that game. If you know that you are losing or having a bad day, better get out of that casino. That is the only word that will answer why people are intensely addicted to gambling, GREED.

Many things may influence an addiction to gambling. In modern context, lack of guardian and guardianship is one of the reason to point out.
People are living a single and independent life. They are earning more money but less friends and gambling is more fun than socializing.
A prolonged involvement in gambling would lead them to addiction.

Greed and maybe curiousity, when we are curious even loses can make us addicted to gambling. Because we will always want to know how to win that gambling games and then we try and try again and not aware that we already addicted.

When a person already lost so much money on gambling, the person will become addicted into gambling because he will think how to get back his money and keep depositing until he won.

If he won, what next? I'm sure he will comeback to gambling again. If not win, he will keep gambling too. So yeah, both situation are not good.

Indeed, gambling is inevitable. Gambling can be in everywhere, what I mean is when making a decision in life you need to gamble since you don't know what will happen in the future same as in crypto casino where you don't know if you'll win or what and this gives us a thrill or challenge. Playing casino games (https://vegascasino.io/casino/video-slots/durian-dynamite?utm_source=ccdd) is a truly fun thing that makes it irresistible especially if it does have a lot of games to choose and big bonuses like where I used to play. Gambling does not make us totally bad instead it gives us meaningful life away from boredom.

That will happen if only he cannot control himself in gambling. If he can control himself, then I think he is not always come back to gambling because he will know that playing gambling will cause losing money and if he continues, he will lose more money. But I don't think that he will become addicted because of his loss because self-control will prevent him to come back to the gambling place.

No I do not think so. It is not that way that of someone wins more than once; he will end up addicted to gambling. One might win and go home as well. It is all about your mindset. There are people who have limits and have scheduled their time. They just do not play the second shot after losing/winning one so it is not that way. It is a function of the frequency of doing so and when you are gambling purely for money.

Yes, I think the main cause of becoming intensely addicted to gambling is taking gambling too seriously. You should look at it as it was a computer game like Assassin's Creed or Grand Theft Auto. Yes, winning feels good, but losing is not the end of the world, it's just the end of the game. And what do you need to do so that losing wasn't the end of the world? Right, you shouldn't risk more than you can easily afford to lose.

The major factor is the amount of money a gambler chooses to start gambling with that creates the whole pain when a gambler loses. The better way to reduce risk and addict factor is to limit the amount you are going to start gambling with or the betting amount. One should not take much serious while losing games when it comes to gambling with high amount because the fault not to limit bets is yours.

Other than greed, it's that insatiable desire to win that leads them to addiction. People also do not like losing, so there is always that tendency to come back and gamble to take back what they've lost.

hell no. making good or bad decisions in life is not gambling at all. you have choices and maybe sometimes you don't but gambling is different stuff. you always have an option to stop but your brain doesn't quit because it is made to develop and its the nature of evolution. gambling is an addiction who do not treat it like a stupid game and see it as their lifetime opportunity. no, it's not an opportunity. I did make a lot of money and also have lost a lot before but I am not addicted to any of these things.

I think you meant everything is a risk not gambling because doing gambling makes it risky. Everything you will do must be a right a decision, so that you will not to end up a becoming a total failure, but failing many times will also result a success and a achievement to yourself.  I think people causes them to become intensely addicted to gambling because they don't have any self control that they don't limit themselves in betting a lot of money that makes them greedy, that is why when you gamble you shouldn't aim for making a profit because it will make you greedy and addicted in gambling. Right now, I am playing in a bitcoin casino which is vegascasino.io that you also mentioned which is really a great gambling site because it offers great bonuses and hundreds casino games that you can play. It is also has instant payouts and very safe to play that makes me convenient to play in this site.

Yes,greed towards making easy money made someone to gamble but keeping the betting streak made someone to addicted which caused from recovering the lost amount on bets or some other reasons.

Yeah, you wanna say that we are taking risk in every step of our life, by birth it is start to choose every thing with risk just like in gambling.
We take a risk to win in game, and in the end our luck decide that in which step we will win. So basically gambling is a way just like our life circle and if we win then we have good luck and if we loss then it meant we are bad luck.   

Gamblers would not be greedy if they will change their view on gambling.
It's not an easy money kind of thing, we are the one who will be losing here as the odds is not on our favor.

We sometimes call it easy money when we win, but if we will try to be more realistic, we will understand that we have more losing experience that our winning moment.

That is the sad truth that most of the time we disregard.

Yes, it is relevant to say that way gamblers who are losing it will also think to recover the losses and that is one of the reasons they are stick to gambling again and again. But most of the gamblers who are addicted to it have nothing to do anything without gambling they have no important activities to perform and that is why they are gambling always all the time with the uncertainty in loss and profit.

It's not about the amount you are starting gambling with. To prevent chasing your losses, and consequently becoming addicted, one should set a limit to the amounts he/she can lose in a day, in a week and in a month.

Say, if one day you lost more than you can afford to lose in one day, it shouldn't be a problem for you. It just means that you shouldn't gamble a certain number of days, starting now. Thus, in most cases, you can end up losing in a week an amount that is within your limits. And in those rare cases when you lose really a lot in one day, it shouldn't be a problem either. It just means that you shouldn't gamble for a month, or even longer, until the amount you lost divided by the amount of days that you abstained will be equal to or less than the limit you set for losing in one day. Think of it as of some sort of an interesting challenge. Find strength inside of you to complete it, and you will never become intensely addicted acting this way.

There are various reasons why people are addicted to gambling. Some for economic reasons and some are lulled by the pleasure they get during the game. But mostly, people are addicted because of the wrong mindset when gambling. They believe that every opportunity that exists can change their destiny. From poor to get rich instantly. Therefore they keep gambling or even use many other ways to get money just to fullfil their mindset in regards with gambling.

In some cases, the addiction reason can be result of the idleness of the person. Someone who doesn't have discipline, doesn't have goals in life is easily swallowed by addictions: not only gambling, but many others like drugs and alcohol too.
It may start as something inoffensive, a casual game, but it can grow as the time goes by, as the idle person is much more susceptible to addictions than a busy one.

I've seen a strong positive correlation between alcohol or substance abuse and addiction to gambling.

Some people are simply less resistant to addiction than others, meaning they are likely to get addicted to any addictive substance or activity they gain significant exposure to, whether that be drugs, gambling, sex or even lying.

This is part of the reason why they often serve free drinks at brick and mortar casinos, to help drive the addiction that causes people to continue playing even when they are utterly defeated.

Gambling is in most video games now and that is a sure fire way to get someone started on the road to gambling.  It has next to no regulation since game items aren't considered real currency by governments even though it gets traded on the black mraket.

The cause of gambling addiction is usually because gamblers have a lot of motivation for their habits when playing gambling. Actually it's not wrong if someone is addicted, but there are negative things that might happen if gambling addiction such as losing a lot of money and even losing a job or home due to gambling addiction.

Getting obsess in profits.

I think this is one of the main reason why gamblers are addicted into gambling. Gamblers are going to gamble because they know that they can win in gambling in a quick way but they don't know that they are just risking their money. New in gambling are the ones who are easily addicted to gambling because they can't control themselves. Just don't gamble to prevent getting addicted into it.

Yes, every gambler will have their reason to gamble and stay in gambling places. Some of them want to release the stress, and the other people want to spend their time, some of them are want to make money from gambling. There will be much other reason that we don't know. But the worst thing from playing gambling every day can cause a person to become addicted to gambling, especially if in a day, he spends a long time to play the games. But making money from gambling is the most reason for the gambler.

And everyone wants to earn money.

That is just it. People want to earn money easily as they could that is why they are always turning into gambling whenever they needed that. I am glad that I can control myself and I can get in and get out of a casino at my will. Money is not that hard to earn as long as you know what you are doing, to be honest. You can post a video of you doing what you want and if you know what you are doing, that can gain viewers that can give you money.

actually simple, when you win a gamble, someone wants to come back again for a victory that is bigger than yesterday. if you lose, someone will come back again to take revenge for yesterday's defeat. both sides make people always think of going back to the gambling table, because of their own desires.

So you mean to say everything in life is gambling. This is not right. Actually most of the things in life is that we take risk and all the risks are not gambling
All the things mentioned like choosing husband, school etc is done after proper research while in gambling you randomly select something and then it depends upon your luck if your selection was right or wrong.

Lol where did you get that No One Can escape gambling addiction?people are free to choose and some find gambling as escape goat while others are desperately in need of big money so what they do is gambling and without their notice ,addiction enters them slowly and before they found out it’s too late

But I don’t believe on what you said,life is not a gamble but a choice

he only refers life simmillar to gambling but its up to you if you  dont believe what he said but for me i agree on what he said  .  when we  strive everyday going to work we are like playing a gambling because we dont know what well happen to us on the road or on the work  . what if a car will hit us or our boss will fired us  ?  but these arent the reason on why there are some that are addicted on gambling   . their reason could be they cant get enough of playing a gambling  , win or loose they still want to play more  .

It is the greed that act as a destroyer because when someone has won the money it is better to take it and go away but the addiction of having more money is so high than inspite of knowing that more you play higher chances of losing in gambling still people continues to play.

Indeed, this game always creates a circle and we can't get rid of it if we don't have preparation because exactly as you say, when we win, our psychology always wants to come back and continue or when we lose, our psychology is always uncomfortable and wants to come back, find what has been lost. But no matter which path we choose, we are still in gambling, this game brings our psychology into a cage and restrains us, unless our psychology relaxes and ignores everything, otherwise, we will still be stuck forever

This is so true, that's the main reasons why a gambler will be addicted to gambling, if they will today they will comeback to increase there winnings not realizing they are getting addicted, losers on the other hand will really try to recover the losses because they can't accept the fact that they lose so it is more of people's greed taking over them which prevents them from thinking of the right thing to do.

My biggest win was my biggest loss in a way. It hooked me and make me think that i can easily do this again. After a while i was in denial and i didn't count losses, i only counted the rush of the high wins i was getting. I had to make some rules to myself so i didn't up losing everything and reminded myself that i ended up gambling because it was fun. Not for the profits really, they were just a cool bonus.

  Gambling is the name of uncertainty so it is rather foolish to expect win in gambling regardless of how much you know about a particular game. One should never think about making a million dollar walking into a casino. It all happens out of probability and your strategies and ability to judge the opponent’s mind and strategy. This way, you could make money in gambling.

Yeah right that's the thing when you already got engaged any sides you take will lead you to keep coming back and the end result can be always negative not unless you have a good way to counter things out and win over.

People gamble for diverse reasons, it could be to raise funds, it could be for fun or leisure, etc
The more one gambles, the more difficult it becomes to stop it, it's true so many individuals are actually addicted to the act of gambling, but controlling such addiction is needed or else sooner or later such person will lose far more than they bargained for.

Those real life experiences OP mentioned aren't gambling in any way, those are actually individual choices.

Whatever you do in your life can affect your brain, like with some actions you do in your life such as taking drugs or gambling or anything which makes you happy can make you addicted. when you do action your brain releases a chemical component called dopamine which makes you feel happy. even masturbation can become an addiction because of this. the good thing is doctors can treat this gambling addiction but more than 70% addicted gamblers do not even visit therapists at all and people who visits more than half of them return to the casinos. nowadays casino managers even ban people and have addiction recuse camps around ATM's so addicted gamblers can seek help.

In both cases it is the greed for money which causes the person to play gambling again and again even if he lose or win. And this is how a person is addicted to gambling and he never knows about it.
The only way he can leave gambling is that he run out of money and has nothing left to gamble.

This is the reason why when a person is a addicted to gambling, his life goes into crumble. His family might leave him, no job at all, no food on his table, no money, life sucks! So if an individual wants to pursue his ambition in gambling, he might want to reflect on his life and choose what he really wants to do in his life.

That's the life they choose for and leaving is in the hard thing to make it. It is already a life they know really and looking for another work/job is a big challenge for them. But they'll the choice and leaving in gambling life is something it needs to work hard otherwise, it losses our effort. It is really in our mind to keep it that way and stay in gambling or finally giving a decision to leave.

This is what happens at the beginning. The win is happening out of luck or through the information he have gather related to the game could let him pick the better odds and grab the winning amount. Experiencing consecutive wins will always tempt us to spend, and this temptation will go beyond limits at some point even when loss is the result. Someone taking a break and analyzing escapes, while the one who follows to get back the loss compensated with wins on consecutive games causes addiction.

In short. Revenge gambling + Greediness.

If you win this day, you feel that you are lucky and then you will come back to the casino to gamble (greed). Now if the table turns down to you and you lose today, you will feel that you need to get your money back and will gamble again until you lose your money again (revenge). This is the reason why gamblers are getting addicted into gambling.

if you know how to decide effectively you can have the right choice based on what is presented to you and from your past experiences, deciding in life is so much different from actual gambling, in gambling it's hard to analyze the situation compare to your decision in your condition in your life so I don't think it will applies.

Gambling creates this endless cycle wherein an individual gets stuck on a continuous loop of winning and losing, getting lost in the illusion that he/she can overcome his/her losses by betting again. Due to this conflict, one may think that he is actually earning cash but in reality, his losses are overwhelmingly more than his winnings. In order to overcome this adversity, it is highly advisable that you set-up a limit in terms of your betting to avoid betting more than you planned for.

Yes, I agree that in all of our life is gambling. No matter we say that what we choose is not related to money, but we cannot deny that included in the gambling. But in gambling, the money will be the reason for the gambler or people to stay in the gambling games. Soon, if they cannot realize the risk that they might get from gambling, they will become addicted.

When we attract to one thing, and we really like to do that, I think we will be addicted to that thing, and that will happen in many situations. We should know that so we can prevent the addicting.

Money is one and also the habit becomes intense that results to addiction. There's a psychological study about it but I don't want to go deep about it because I'm lack of explanation and knowledge about that certain issue a person's situation once he's going through addiction. Some cases, it's a choice of an individual to become addicted if he has some other problems and finds satisfaction when he gambles throughout the entire time and if it becomes a practice that becomes addiction.

well, if it would be so simple everyone who ever tried would be instantly become addicted to the gambling. But since it is only few become really addicted then there is certainly in their background making them vulnerable .

Desperate need of money makes most people addicted to gambling. They don't earn enough and they see gambling as a way to provide it. When they lose they can't accept the reality and try to recover it.

Losing is what makes people to be addicted to gambling and to other winning. If you ever win big money in gambling you will desire to win and have big money in your hand and as such you will wish to keep winning and that will make you keep playing. To other losing is the major reason why they keep playing gambling and as such, I think, we have reasons individually why we are gambling.

Not all of them though.

Some are really addicted to gambling because they want to earn money. Not that desperate but it is just that earning money from gambling is fun. Also, the excitement of that person winning is what they are wanting, the thrill of winning.

Good points, though. ;D

Gambling may be in our daily lives but of course, finding a husband, or choosing a school are entirely different things compared to gambling games. It's a one time thing. I mean, you only choose a husband once; pick a school once; or several times depending on the situation. But it's still minimal compared to playing gambling which eventually causes addiction. So I must say that, though you have a point, I think those are not really the causes why one becomes intensely addicted to gambling.

One of the primary reason I feel people get addicted to gambling is due to loneliness, and lack of attention from people they like plus it’s easy to find new gamblers in casino and draw attention to oneself if you start playing big bets. Second reason which is the most common one is the urge to make quick money, and it’s due to the fact that we live in an expensive world where our income has failed to rise unlike our expenses which have only shot up from time to time. Those scenarios you have mentioned do not come under the purview of Gambling, e.g. you do not get addicted to marry again and again.

Who would be addicted to losing? It is obvious for people to lose in gambling but you saying it is the reason why they are addicted to gambling? I think tht is not the reason but that is close, they are wanting to earn more money, they want to win always and they are experiencing that less than losing. They want to win but they are losing, that is the mix of being over-confident and being greedy.

People who earn 'easy money' from gambling don't value that money because they didn't have to work hard to earn it. They won it being lucky. That is why it is so easy for them to spend it, throw it away or gamble it. Those people who have to bust their asses to provide for their families value every single penny and they wont even try to gamble with it.

The promise of easy money. That's the main draw no matter what game it it. "Just spend small amount X and you can be a big winner". Even the government recognizes it, that's why they're the only ones who can draw lotto. That's why they closely monitor all gambling.

Once you get started, then the thrill kicks in and you can get addicted.

There are people who eye at making billions out of this more than $530 billion industry so yes they will do anything to make the money they want. Call them addicted or whatever but many of them who end up making the money enjoy lavish lives. Some of them do not leap big and lose their little capital. The war between a win and a loss in the gambling is what makes you an addict.

I think, because the mindset of people who gamble hoping to get something more than what was issued, curious how to always win in gambling.

For the root of the problem is money of course, many people gamble because they want to make money, but there are many other reasons that underlie someone to become an addict. loneliness, frustration, etc. are reasons other than money. but the most common is gambling habits that cannot be eliminated

life is a gamble if you decide that way, you should use logic and insight to avoid making a bad decision, I don't think this has something to do with gambling, I consider gambling when you are putting heavily on luck to your decision.

It is addictive to fun seekers just as such people get addicted to other addictive things. Addiction should never be tolerated.

So don't let the fun part get into your head and you'll be fine.
If unexpectedly you become addicted, you will need to gradually reduce your gamblings till you stop completely

At the start of gambling everyone is similar as everyone spend his hard earned money on gambling. There are few lucky who won big amount in their first few games and they get free money to gamble more. But if they do not care, they may lose all their winnings in next games and lose them all. Those unlucky ones who lost their first few bets may never come to gambling again because of lack of money.

But those who are addicted to gambling (whether they lose or win) are those who do not quit gambling and in case of loss take loans or sell their belongings in order to keep on playing gambling.

Addiction of gambling is not bad at all, because we do so many things in our life, we never get addicted to it so if you are gambling and you are finding it profitable for you so you will surely try to do it again, same as other earning resources some people prefer to use gambling which is not bad according to me, I will try to improve my strategies for gambling as well,

I totally agree with OP, gambling and risk cannot be eliminated.  Life is a gamble.    The main thing to avoid always is gambling money you do not have, the worst thing to do is combine a great risk and hope with the certainity of a debt.

If people have good money management its far less of a problem and even if terrible with money, then the backbone to take hit and realise the loss yourself is what it comes down to.  Risk is the most normal part of this whole game

these are not only the reasons there are lots of reasons available for addiction but everything is based on the money only if the money is needed for everyone then gambling is one of the best way to make and very quickly can become achieve the target in your mind that's why it is more addictive.
