Well, I believe that both Greediness and Gambling Addiction make our lives terrible. I was thinking about which one of the two reasons causes more disastrous in our life both in terms of mental health and finances.

It would be the base of experience or just purely an opinion but for me, Greediness is something that would really make us cripple.
"I want to bet more and more in order to win more. I will sell my properties so I can bet huge. " Greediness mindset keeps on the winning side, not satisfaction.

But addiction is a little disastrous, why? Because they can be satisfied with betting a small amount, at least they can gamble.

However, both can possibly happen in our lives when we can't control our gambling habit anymore. I prefer not the two but in this situation, I prefer to be just addicted rather than be greedy. 

Gamble Responsibly...

The most common type of gambling addiction is the one with greediness. That is why the addicted person will be losing huge amount of money to the extent they may not have money again but start to borrow.

But addiction can also be that the gambler is not really wasting money on gambling but gambling is really taking his time. But this type of addiction is mostly not possible.

Most addicted gamblers are greedy.

Did you know that gambling addiction is considered on par with drug addiction? And, of course, a person does not immediately become a drug addict. He goes through several stages to become a dependent, that is, a sick person. In the same way, the player starts the game simply with the desire to play and to try; he does not bet all his money on the first game. Everything happens over time, and it is different for everyone. Therefore, it is believed that if a person does not know how to control his emotions, he will not be able to stop in time and will lose until his source runs out. As for greed, it is a vice. You know, a greedy person assesses the situation more soberly. Seeing his losses, he will definitely at some point understand that he cannot constantly lose; he will simply feel sorry for throwing money away. In addition, it is difficult for a greedy person to risk his money.

They both can result in losing money. Whichever a person has and it comes to a point that he loses everything, it's all disaster.  But addiction is harder to fight. Addicts will just keep depositing even if the money is intended for something else and the domino effect happens quickly when the person can't pay the bills.

I think this one is easy. Greediness is more disastrous, as it spreads not only on gambling. That is a part of character, the way person lives. That is something that is formed by years, and it can be fixed in few years. For gambling addictions there are rehabs. People around can help to fight it. But it is a suicide mission to turn greedy person into generous. Btw, I really doubt that greedy person would even gamble. He might test gambling once, but he will suffer from every loss.

I was an addict before but I am not not into drug at all while I do not also smoke. Only what I do is alcohol and not all the time. I have not gone to a bar before to drink to stupor because I lose money but I always felt depressed after losing. I think more research should be done if what you said is true.

There are some people that are into drugs and gambling separately but just that losing in gambling can make them take drug unnecessarily but I do not think gambling should be connected to drug but one enhancing another.  In short what I am saying is that addiction in something does not mean you are addicted into another thing and it does not also mean that addicted to something makes the person to get addicted to another thing. If the research is true, it is a wrong research.

I have a friend that smokes like ones in a month. He may not smoke in many months sometimes. I do not see him as a smoker. He is not into drug. He likes alcohol just like me. There was a time he was addicted for like 1 year. Only what I noticed about him is depression. If he is not talking and not that happy, I know likely he has lost money in gambling again.

I have some friends that are into xrxxs and smoking but not gambling at all.

do we really need to choose between those 2? because what I do believe is that Greed and addiction
is the way that gamblers lost their life in gambling , I mean Greed is one way to become addicted so for
me they are almost the same its just the word that made them different .

Addiction comes from greediness so for you to choose either greed or addict? same result that will
come your way in the very near time so best to never become one of those.

You will never become addicted if you are not greedy because addiction always start from a little greediness that intensifies the more you feel satisfaction on gambling.

So saying that you prefer being addicted rather than being greedy is wrong since greed is part of an addiction but you can become partially greedy without being addicted due to the heat of the moment which most of casual gambler experiencing whenever they experiencing terrible loss on some of their game.

I’m always being greedy when gambling but I’m making sure that this greediness always end after I gamble so that I will not crave for more.

Addiction is worst compare to greed. This is because an addicted person can sell his house to gamble, use the money of other people in his custody to gamble, can even steal to gamble. Why is it like that because he cannot control his gambling activities and if he wins big today, it is gone tomorrow. Addiction can lead to abandonment, isolation, frustration and possibly death.

Greed can be controlled, especially when you see that you are not winning for some days, you will become wise and stop gambling. A greedy man can learn his lesson easily and can still have self control over his gambling activities but an addict needs the help of others to be able to leave his addiction.

Both. It can start from Greed and then to Addiction.

But if we think about it, I think addiction is more disastrous because you ain't stopping anymore. The greedy on the other hand, who is still in control after he depletes his wallet will stop. The thing is, he just wants more. Let's say you have a capital of $100 and then possibly increase it to $200 through gambling. You will want more but suddenly you will lose everything. A greedy gambler who is still responsible can tell himself that it is enough and he won't be playing for the whole day or the whole week anymore.
Honestly, I think I am in that position right now ever since I won a big amount in the past month. But, I do control myself to stop whenever I rekt my balance.

We are all addicts and we are all greedy, more or less... I guess everything depends on the moment. Addiction and greediness can cause problems, but they are part of us, if we overdoing something because we love doing it it's addiction, and if we wish to get more out of something it's greediness. As I said, both can be problematic, but not necessarily. We can control our gambling habits and limit our spending on gambling, in that way even if we lose because we were too greedy it's not a big deal.

So I don't think that we can measure which one is more disastrous. Firstly because they don't need to be bad, and secondly if we have some control over our funds for gambling both can be controlled and will not create any problems.

Both cause disastrous result to a person since you can't change the fact that those action can cause a loss for a person since its like they are not in good situation where don't have a good proper self control on every decisions they take on their gambling activities. If they just eliminate those mindset to earn more and became greedy or being addicted on casino games they are engaging then for sure that they can be satisfied and happy whatever result show up to them.

Gamblers need to erase those excessive thoughts since it will not give them any positive results but for sure they will end up being miserable on everything especially if they over expect on something risky to participate. Gambling is not a easy get rich schemes or a program where they can earn passive money so they should not look for ward for more profits but rather have a discipline to get something from it.

I think they both roll with eachother some how, just as lovesmayfamilis said, gambling addict is not something that just happens once is take time just as drug addict is also . Like for instance someone gamble for the first time and he won , then he go again and he won again base on beginners luck , after those winnings his losses started Tu overwhelm his winnings such individual will eventually loss his composure, and his emotions will start getting the best of him , he will start having a greedy mindset of wanting to get all that he has loss Which may lead gambling continuously, hoping to hit a bigger jackpot.

And as time goes if such individual continue like that he will eventually get addicted to gambling, I'm speaking base on experience, like when I started at first with my childish mindset of thinking I can get rich quick by just hitting the jackpot in gambling ( lol funny right) . At first things where going smoothly because I was not doing it frequently, just once in a while, but I got to some point I couldn't manage my losses , I began to have the mindset of wanting to get Back what have loss . But at the end I only made things worse by losing more. So I began to take notice that I'm getting addicted to it little by little, until I empty my wallet the my eyes opened the I decided to stop gambling , Now am still having that fear of fully going into it .

Both, you can't be a gambling addict without the feeling of being greedy when you play. Classic example is that when you are already up and winning, you don't want to stop and think that you can win more money, and so that is greediness in it's finest.

So it's like this characteristics compliment each other or they are mutually exclusive that you can't separate it from a individual who are into gambling and define as a gambling addict.

Greediness->Gambling addiction, I think that could have been the process all along for those who are into addiction. And so it's a vicious for them, maybe they could have started small and gradually becoming addicted because maybe they lose more or win big. And I would agree for those who says that both elements are present in any addicted gambler, as I have said, the impact of winning and losing? It might create a "motivation" to continue to gamble, hence you lose your control. They might not see it as just wasting money, but as avenue for them to get rich. So there is a big correlation between a addicted gamble and greed.

We all have different opinions but I think experience is the best teacher. If we can get a real naration from an addicted person then maybe we might get a glimpse of the real addiction story. As a gambler though we have to control our gambling habits all the time to avoid being addicted but sometimes we play to some extent that may be uncontrollable. When we are over excited or enjoying the moment and game we might not even know when we have used more than our budget to gamble. If we become too greedy, we will end up losing so much that we expected. What brings about greediness is sometimes because we feel that we might be lucky enough but only end up being on the edge where we either win or lose.

I think they are interrelated.

Because of greed, we get addicted, so we need to eliminate that greed to be safe from addiction. People complain about gambling because they are losing a lot of money. Aren't they follow this this - "gamble what you can afford to lose"? They didn't follow that, even though they knew the risk, and that is because of greed. As we can read and hear, the word "greed" is not really good; it destroys a person, regardless of what we are doing, whether it be gambling, other activities, or even in our jobs.

I will speak out of my experience, addiction stems from greediness, and losing control of your greediness is what you become addicted to gambling, greediness is the driving force of gambling addiction when I cannot control my greediness I lose control of my addiction but overtime, when I learned to control my greediness my mind ease up on my addiction to gambling, so control your greediness and you control your addiction.
But not easier said than done, you have to go through fire.

In my personal point of view both are equality destructive and dangerous for the people who like to gamble and end up having different expectations, apart from having fun with their wager and the thrill of gambling itself.
What comes first is greed, and is born from the expectation of the gambler to make money out his gambling sessions, they co time to gamble, then they end up chasing losses and in the end all of it devolves into some level of addiction which can be slight or severe.

So, I believe we should see both greed and addiction as separate things which can have affect gamblers at any time of their journey, but rather than developing states with have much to do with each other, as I already explained.

First comes expectation, then comes greed and finally the state of addiction is reached. At point is when it is important to seek for help, from both a professional psychologist and also family members.

Addiction is probably more disastrous because I've never seen a gambler being addicted and happy at the same time. When we use the word "addicted," it already has a negative connotation, like a person suffering from a disease that needs to be cured.

However, although greediness is also bad, you can be a winner in gambling if you are skilled and want to make more money due to greed. At least you can control your greed, which has a slight advantage over addiction. Even if you are already losing money, you will still choose to gamble to feed your addiction. Addicted gamblers can sometimes end up losing their job, their family, and, worse, becoming homeless.

Same time, greediness causes additions, when a gambler loose money, only greed makes the gambler to chase his loses, and while the gambler is chasing his loses there is no guarantee for him to win back the money he has lost. From my experience with gamble, I say that gamble is a gamble of luck and if a gambler lost his bets, it means that the gambler is not lucky, and no one can force it. That means while a gambler is chasing his or her losses it's either he/she looses more or get addicted at the end.

You misunderstood me somewhat. I'm not saying that drugs and gambling have to go together. However, the degree of dependence that a drug addict experiences is equivalent to the same sensations when a player needs a game. From here, it was also said that curing gambling addiction is just as difficult as drug addiction. If you've been a drug addict, no one knows better than you the feeling of withdrawal or the need for drugs when you don't have them.

However, please accept my respect if you have made it through.

I think we have to accept the reality that once we try gambling, it is possible to fall into these situations. And the best thing we can do is to control ourselves as much as possible. Yes, maybe for now we are good but we are not sure if we can keep it like this or if it change it along the way as we continue gambling.

Overall, it really depends on how we discipline ourselves in gambling because no benefits to get if we have these things addiction and greediness as it brings us down financially and pollutes our minds.

why do I have to choose both, I don't want to be greedy or addicted to gambling because both only bring disaster, greed will not only make a gambler lose, but greed will destroy a gambler's life

a greedy person will never be satisfied with whatever he achieves and especially when it comes to gambling, he just wants to get money quickly and doesn't care about his surroundings, as well as gambling addiction, those who are addicted won't care about their surroundings, so that's what makes me neither of them

Greed and addiction are two close topics, that is, those who are greedy will become addicted to that work. A gambler becomes addicted to gambling and because of that addiction he bets on gambling due to excessive greed. Yes but a professional gambler is involved in gambling due to addiction but he does not have excessive greed i.e. he has the ability to control his greed. A greedy person can never satisfy himself rather he gradually becomes bankrupt and mentally disturbed due to his greed. But if an addict isn't greedy, his addict can't do as much harm as the harm he covets.

Both greed and addiction are disastrous. Although being greedy is preferable acceptable than being addicted to gambling, being the worst case someone can find him or herself in, because of those who find themselves addicted have lost total control of their gambling habits that it controls their finances to be gambling always without putting a stop to it. While in other hand, someone being greedy to gambling, their aim is to earn more while they end up losing. Their experience of losing money will make them end their gambling for the day until the next time they choose to gamble again.

Both will harm your lives if not controlled, I was addicted to gambling, and part of this behavior is greediness I was so greedy to win that I always forgot that the house had the edge and my chances were getting low the longer I played.

Greediness correlates to gambling addiction you will always feel the greediness especially when you're winning. It is greediness that takes your emotions when chasing your losses, both are harmful to your mental health and finances and we should do everything to control these two if we want to have positive thinking.

it is obviously gambling addiction, if you have a gambling addiction, it means that you are dependent on it, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, you'll come back again and again to satisfy your urge which seems to never end, it could and will consume your whole life if it is never treated. gambling addiction doesn't just affect you mentally and financially, it also affects the relationship you have to the people around you, especially the ones closest to you.

Both are disastrous, yeah. Gambling addiction out weighs Greediness, why? When one is addicted, he aims to use any means possible to satisfy his urge for gambling and often times addicted gamblers are the greedy ones because they never get satisfy with winnings them lookout for more wins,methods and just want to be in casinos. It affect them emotionally and financially which causes more harm than good. When it comes to greediness it a state were a gambler demands more win, which for me can be controlled and if use properly can edge us in gambling is part of every man.
I prefer to be greedy than Addicted, (new trend by OP,lol.)

This is all I can tell you, op, there is no addict who had an addiction that greediness did not lead to the gambler himself. Remember what I am saying? That's why a gambler always has greed in them; it drives them to always think that they will get lucky when they get to gamble in the casino.

It's very rare that people gamble just for fun, because even though they're just having fun, they still think about winning or getting the jackpot, although the only difference is that it's okay even if they lose because they control the limits of their gambling. .

In my opinion, greed and addiction have a very close relationship in the negative side of gambling, namely that they both have a bad side in life because greed can lead to an addictive attitude and addiction can cause a lot of money to be lost because of gambling too often and cannot be controlled.
Therefore, if a person has both attitudes then it is certain that his life will have many problems and his life will suffer even more.

Although you said the opposite of the arguments of many other users, it also makes sense, although it doesn't mean that others are necessarily wrong.

I would like to add that being greedy may be a psychological trait, while being an addict not; but other traits like impulsiveness, obsession etc. can lead to addiction, the same as a well oriented greediness can lead to him being a good manager. Our traits don't define us, they set a predisposition, but everyone can ultimately make good or bad decisions no matter their personality.

I think what you are trying to say is that it will be better to be an addicted gambler than to be a greedy gambler. I also share the same position with you because someone can be addicted to gambling and it will not have a negative effect on his finances but a greedy gambler can gravely hurt his accounts. Now these two negative behavior work together in some cases. Most times gambling addicts are also greedy. They are going to the casino everyday (addiction) because they want to win big (greed).

Greed and addiction can affect our mental health adversely. Anyone who sold a property or took a loan to gamble and lost can suffer mental problems. And both greed and addiction can lead to uncontrollable gambling. But just as Kelvinid has told us, it is better not to be addicted and not to be greedy, both of them are destructive.

There is nothing wrong with what the OP said, but maybe I will complement his idea that actually if we talk about gambling then addiction and greed go hand in hand or go hand in hand at the same time, and I would say that the name addiction is where when someone cannot escape from the activity and always wants to gamble because they want a situation where a dopamine explosion occurs in the brain that makes them feel very happy especially in the context of getting a win, and I will discuss again about greed which is where a gambler is unable to stop at the right time especially when they win, they have very high confidence and expectations so they always think that the winning situation is a good situation to take advantage of to get a bigger amount of winnings. So it means that addiction is a situation that makes it difficult for a person to resist the urge not to gamble and greed is something that triggers various excessive actions, meaning that these two things go together and are very bad indeed and can destroy our lives.

I think the both work together cause that's what pushes them to a non-stop Gambling of no wins,Is greediness that birth addiction in a gambler's life and makes him crave for something bigger not knowing it requires Patience and it's what makes it more disastrous..
An addicted gamblers can tend to slow down on his habits provided he has made so much losses but a greedy addicted gamblers will do the reverse.
So for me I think both shouldn't be found in a gambler cause they are more disastrous than anything.

Greedy gambler, a gambler that always like to double their money and achieve as much as he can, he like to turn $1 to $1K, then $1K to $1M, then $1M to $1B and so on.

Gambling addict, a gambler that really like to gamble all the time and can't be stopped.

I don't see anything different, both of them likes to spend most of their time to gamble, when it comes to money, it's infinite aka no limit. So, both greedy gambler and gambling addict will never stop to gamble.

the difference between greed and addiction is a big difference, greed is not a disease, while gambling addiction is a very serious disease that has been responsible for destroying many people

As you can see, greedy people are unlikely to sell all their goods or lose all their salary because of gambling, they think well, they may have the desire to earn a lot quickly, but they can control themselves, they know when to stop gambling, that's why we will hardly hear news that many people are selling their goods to gamble due to greed and that these greedy people need help from a doctor, how many times have you heard people saying that they have a relative who is sick with greed and that they Did they take you to treatment? I highly doubt you've ever heard anyone say this.

But if I ask you how many times have you heard someone in your family or neighbor talk about someone being addicted to something and losing everything they had because of the addiction? I believe you will tell me what you have already heard, because addiction is a disease that is destroying many people. Here in my country, for example, I have seen many people addicted to alcohol, and it is normal for me to see young people drinking alcohol until they are unable to walk and end up sleeping on the street.

addiction is something that destroys people's lives

I agree with you, both of these things are very detrimental to ourselves and those who gamble with their greed will of course find it very difficult for them to win on the bets they play because they will never be satisfied with what they have got.
For some people who have experienced an addiction to gambling, of course it will be very difficult for them to be able to resist their desire to gamble even though they do not have the funds they have to gamble, but they will look for various ways to be able to gamble and if what they do is cheating. other people or taking out a loan, of course this will be a problem for them if they cannot pay it off.

It's not greed that can lead someone to become addicted to gambling, I once had a friend who spent his time gambling, then I asked him what made him want to continue gambling all the time, even though he should have focused on making money and working, not just selling all his assets. It's also his family's property to gamble, one day all his assets will run out, he just told me that he had lost a lot of money in gambling so he wanted to recover the losses he had lost previously. so he feels frustrated pursuing that because he has become an addict.

But one time he won big and got the Jackpot, in my opinion that was enough to recover all his losses, but what he did was he actually gambled again and continued playing, so that in the end he lost all his winnings again and then regretted it, even though he He really wanted to recover his losses, he should have stopped when he won big, but because of his greed to win even bigger, he became out of control, in the end he is bankrupt now and has almost lost all his money and assets, I haven't seen him again after that he disappeared like that. Even the house has been occupied by new residents. The important lesson from all of this is never gamble seriously, let alone make money there because it's not the right place.  ;D

Like in my previous post that I said gambling addiction is very dangerous so if you ask me Greediness or Addiction -which one is more disastrous? I would say addiction is more dangerous than a greediness but of course both of them are very danger. Because greediness can't also lead to addiction if you can't control it

Yes, greed and addiction cannot be separated in gambling games, everyone has certainly experienced this, we have to act on this, before we play, determine the budget for our gambling, of course with a responsible policy like this, we don't want to reach an addiction. If we have won a match, we should have to control ourselves in everything, I think it's human. Every gambler wants to get bigger profits than before. In my opinion, actions like this are not wrong, it's just that if we win at gambling, it's better to go out and enjoy the results.

Most gambling addict started off as greedy people who were never satisfied with there win and went on to betting above there limits untill it got to the point they almost lost it all and can't leave a day without gambling all in a bid to recover there lost money. As much as addiction is bad, being greedy with your bets is almost worse off.

Most guys in sports betting can relate well with this as it's common when you're playing a game and then have the opportunity  to cash out along the way but because of greed, you will always get tempted to keep an eye on thd game till it all plays till the end. The result is always disaster as for most times the game doesn't end up playing out as planned. But at the end of the day, it's best that as a gambler you try to moderate everything you're doing. As much as it's in your plan to gambling responsibly, don't be too careless to assuming that luck will always shine on you and then you proceed to gambling with an amount that's above the regular budget you've set out for your gambling because greed tells you that you have a high chance of hitting it big if you gamble with such amount.

Greed is something that you can control if you wanted which isn't the case with addiction, and if you're talking about the extreme optimistic behaviour of someone's greed led to sell all their assets to win more but I am sure at certain point they will come to realise they are losing more than winning so better not to try anything stupid.

That's not possible with addiction, even if you realise still you can't control your urge to bet assuming the severity is higher so he may start small bets but sooner or later it can go to any extreme, literally any extreme cause I had seen men even wagered their wife as bet.

These two things are the core of problems that often occur, and in fact I think these two things are related. with those who gamble by following greed, of course they will become addicted and in the end it will only lead to losses, whether financially or in terms of survival. and of course everyone who gambles definitely feels greed, but not everyone becomes addicted.

with those who gamble wisely by being able to control everything well and strictly every now and then they will definitely feel greed but maybe they will not become addicted because they still have very good self-control, but it cannot be denied that even though they have good self-control the opportunity to become the addiction remains.

There is always a root cause for every gambling problem. Addiction doesn't just start overnight, in most cases gamblers are driven by the quest to win, and they do this by gambling excessively. I am yet to see a gambling who isn't interested in winning money and I see nothing wrong in wishing that that luck falls on your side. The only difference is that some are very careful in their approach to winning this money, while others aren't at all.  At the end of all this, we will all agree that greed is the main reason most gamblers got into the mess they are or were into. Greed usually starts as a tiny desire wishing to be satisfied, once this desire is let out of control, it becomes a big problem.

Addiction is more disastrous.  It is very risky for anyone to ignore the actual cause of the problem and pay greater attention to the outcome of a bad decision. Yea, gambling addiction is as a result of greed. No one should be moved to dance to the tune of a disastrous desire.

I agree with this greediness is start of gambling addiction,  so I guess addiction would be more disastrous.
For me there are some greedy gamblers who would or could stop their greed when they are done gambling, but a gambling addict would always be drawn back to gambling cause it is their addiction, they couldn't control their self so they would try everything just to continue or go back on gambling.

Addiction and greediness works together because one of the reasons why most gamblers get addicted is due to greed, you will see a gambler make some winnings instead of closing your bets at least for that day they keep on playing in order to win more and at the end the keep losing till everything is gone. But addiction is more dangerous because a gambler can be playing without winning and continuously keep on playing if they can win but greediness is two sided, the first is using huge amount to place a bet while the other is continues playing after a win so that one can be controlled because if a gambler plays with huge amount and didn't win he can decide to be staking with little amount and a gambler can also win a bet and decide to walk away for that day but someone who is into addiction will keep on playing be it with huge amount or even when he wins he still continues because the habit of gambling have been stucked in his head.

 I have seen someone walk into a gambling hall and was placing bets from morning till night when the betting shop closed for the day so it's an obvious state of addiction and it is very disastrous in the sense that the dangers such person poses to the people around him is always very bad because they can engage in any form of dubious act just to raise money for gambling.

Greediness is the main cause of addiction because a person enters the gambling field just to earn money and if he fails then he does not stop here but he wants to put more bets to get a chance of making money so this is a greed which leads to an addiction.

Both greediness and addiction are bad and cause spoilage of life but addiction is created due to greediness so if a person can hide his feelings of greed and desire to make more money then there is a possibility that he will not be an addictive gambler.

Greediness is a nebulous term, after all what you consider greediness could be ambition for a different person, also it does not have any specific negative outcomes associated with it, since a person could be incredibly greedy but they may not act upon those feelings of theirs, however addiction is a massive compulsion problem which has been researched thoroughly and that now it is defined as a chronic disease, similar to diabetes or a heart condition, and it is obvious that out of the two it is the worst by far.

I don't think any gambler says that. No gambler purposely says they want to sell their properties so they'll be able to gamble. It happens over time, they won't even know when they're doing it. They don't make up their mind to do it.
It's funny because at that stage, it's no more greed, it's an addiction. Take drug addiction for example, the addicts didn't plan and make up their minds to sell everything they have or take loans to buy drugs, it just happened when they had no money and no way else to get drugs. It's the same with a gambling addiction. Gambling addicts will gamble no matter what.


An addict can never be satisfied. He can never get enough. He just wants more and more and more. Sell properties, steal, take loans, lie, they'll do whatever it is for their cravings. The tricky part is those cravings can never be satisfied. It's insatiable.

I wouldn't like to be greedy or an addict, but if it comes down to it, I'd prefer to be greedy when it comes to gambling.
The problem is, greed might lead to addiction if not checked.
A lot of us gamblers can be greedy at times, but if kept in check then there's no problem.

Both are dangerous, but of these two properties, if used in gambling, of course addiction is more dangerous.
For example:
Greedy, it's just that if they want to gamble they ask for ways to collect wealth or if they don't have money to gamble they can do anything, such as stealing, cheating and so on, the important thing is they can gamble.
Addiction, in gambling there can be emotional, mental imbalance or hallucinations, in general they can be changes in morals, mentality, thinking just to gamble, it will cause big disasters for those who are addicted, greater danger.

Inasmuch as I believe gambling addiction and drug addiction are the same process, I still see that people get addicted to drugs more easily than newbie gamblers get addicted to gambling.
 
It's easier for someone who just starts taking drugs to get addicted to them within a few weeks. The moment they see drugs as their remedy for their health because it makes them feel good, they can no longer deal without them.
 
On the aspect of greed, being greedy is one of the easiest ways to even get addicted because, as a newbie gambler, you won't be satisfied with what you are wagering in the game, and the more high taste you are getting and trying to satisfy that desire, the more likely you are to get addicted to gambling without even realizing it.

Addiction doesn't just cause a little disaster and the addicted gambler does not only gamble with a limited amount, they can gamble with any amount they wish to spend, it could be a huge amount or a little amount, depending on the balance of the gambler. If we should compare between addiction and greed, I would agree that they both have a very disastrous effect on a person. An addicted gambler can equally be greedy as much as a responsible gambler would sometimes become greedy too.

Your opinion is quite rational and brings up the sensitive topic of how greed and gambling addiction can hinder life significantly. In reality, both of these aspects, namely mental health and financial stability, can be seriously compromised. Overcoming addiction may be easier when a person receives support and therapy. On the other hand, controlling greed seems to be quite difficult as it tends to bring more losses due to the temptation to chase more wealth.

This is not the best course of action, but it is also important to avoid. Finding a balance between healthy habits while not shying away from seeking help when needed is essential to avoiding the negative effects of gambling. Being able to identify the early signs of greed or addiction can lead a person to good physical and financial health; taking a proactive approach to these warning signs is key.

I could say that both things are in related or simply just the same. Why?
On the moment that you would get addicted then all of those traits and behaviors are included, from greediness to impulsiveness and other aspects on which you would really be saying that these traits will really be leading you on being addicted or becoming that making more involvement in gambling. In speaking about being Greedy then this one would really be pushing you to play even more and this is one
of the most common quality of a certain gambling addict. Some could be able to control their greed but majority will really be failing out on doing so. This is why it would really be better that you should
really be wary on the things thats happening around.

Both things could be disastrous because on the moment that you would be on such condition then you would be thinking on having that non stop gambling and you would really be doing it
as much as you could as long you do have the funds that you could be able to play. You wont stop until you would bust up your entire funds and this is something a typical moement
or situation here on gambling space.

Greediness is a part of human life and I know very well that Greediness can not make you to have or develop a mental disorder, mental disorder comes when you are undergoing different things and I know very well that for you to undergo thinks and you think day and night it's what will make you to be stressed and stressing your brain that much will result a problem to our health, why addiction is something I know that can lead for all this things, because when you have experienced such I know very well that it can lead to mental disorder, because you will be that desperate to recover your lost which will lead you into thinking, I think that the dangerous one is to be addicted in gambling

I don't agree. Addicted gambler can never be satisfied with small amount, they're called addicted for being out of control and no satisfaction. It's more disastrous since they can do everything (selling assets or doing things that are unimaginable) to feed their addiction.

Moreover, addicted gamblers are also greedy because they're also aiming to win huge. Thus, it's the same thing, but addiction for me is more disastrous.

And it's magnified in case of gambling, greediness has ties with addiction. And as per Mirriam-Webster dictionary,


So it's a desire of a gambler to win big money over and over again. And if you don't win, they will try it again resulting into gambling addiction. So this two are a potent and very dangerous combination to experience for a gambler.

And that's why self-control is very important for any individual so that you won't get into the addiction phase, because once you are inside, very difficult to get out.

Greed lead to sin, sin lead to dead.

We have long since mastered the above English proverb where excessive greed can lead to dire consequences. In the case of gambling, the issue is difficult to analyze, especially in the case of those who become addicted to gambling for enjoyment, greed may not have that much effect, but in the case of those who are addicted to gambling for income and remain addicted to gambling for a long time due to excessive greed, gambling definitely brings serious consequences. I definitely identify greed as more deadly than addiction because greed destroys the good qualities and awakens the bad qualities in a person. Because of these vices a person can never accept himself as happy and the desire to not get is always high inside him.

For me I like to think the two actually works together Because for an addict to really get stuck then he always shows off that habit of greed in his games because the act of chasing after your loses in the first place is actually caused by the greed to get that the money you have already lost. The lack of emotional control too can be a very serious cause that can lead a gambler to go down the road of being addicted with his gambling habits because the money he loses little money all his emotions flare up making him to make wrong decision always.

Most probably addiction is just a minor excuse of being disastrous but I would rather conclude that both of these actions eventually leads us to worst situation. Some might said it's okay, reality will slap us when negative outcomes proves many bad things will occur when gambling irresponsibility.

Its all circumstantial and different for every person. I think the addicted gambler who keeps on gambling and gambling for the most part is probably not a winner. They keep gambling so long and for so much money over time hoping that they will eventually hit their big break, but they hold onto their smaller wins and the little cash a little more dearly. A gambler that is greedy is willing to risk it all, so pretty much its either a slow burn compared to an explosion if you zoom all the way out, right ?

In my opinion, both of them have the same perception that if you are addicted, it means you are also greedy. The current problem of addiction is caused because they are not satisfied with whatever results they get. They are too chasing their ambition to win and it ends in greed. How do you say that addiction is better than greedy? even though if you are not addicted, it is likely that you will not experience greed. The beginning of greed begins when someone has difficulty controlling themselves when gambling, causing addiction and ambition to cover the losses they have lost so far, even if they win, addicted people will not feel satisfied.

For me addiction is the most dangerous of the two because that's where the greedy mindset comes from, if you gamble responsibly the greedy mindset will not happen in your life therefore it is better for us to avoid gambling addiction so that greed doesn't destroy your life if you have knowing that both can destroy your life then we should not do that it is better to be a neutral and responsible gambler so that of course we can control our condition and our finances.

Greediness leads to addiction anyway so I think that addiction is much more disastrous because it changes you as a person and not only that, you're also going to see a lot of people being affected by that addiction and no matter how you look at it, addiction is just too destructive for someone who will experience it. The people that knows you before your addiction would see your change as pathetic and sad, your loved ones are crying at night because of your addiction, at the end of the day.

I think greed is the first part before it turns out in being gambling addict because
if you know how to be responsible in your time and decisions, you will not fall in the trap of
greed because being greedy for the long run will lead you on having obsession in gambling,
and it may cause you a huge damage in your self being as well as in terms of your financial
matters, It's really better for us to know how to be responsible first so we won't ended up
being greedy and addicted.

You are so right. I have been greedy and lost. The feeling consumed me so much that I continued gamble on slots with my wins until it dropped to zero and I couldn't bet again so I stopped. This is how gamblers feel until greed turns to an uncontrollable addiction.

You are also right on this one. While greediness is one type of gambling addiction, it is also not the only type. Spending time on a gambling website gambling, or in a sportsbookie website can also be. The shorter type spent on gambling the less likelihood of getting addicted to gambling.

I think they are both ridiculous I mean you will be greedy because you are addicted, and you will be addicted because of your greed, I mean they are both hand in hand if a gambler catch the addiction then expect that he is also greedy, in short this two traits are 2 in 1 so in short they are both terrible and the saddest part is that when you catch one of the traits then expect that you will get the other one also, so its better not do so and control yourself, have a limit and let go of the losses, do not chase loss, remember in gambling one negative event could have branches. and that branches of negative effect will only make one gambler dig deeper and make itself miserable. so OP better not hope to catch one trait even if you only want to become addicted you will also be greedy for sure.

Right, I think it makes sense to say that greed is a part of gambling, or it can also be said that greed is something that can trigger addiction. On the other hand, greed is indeed a prohibited action but if we look at it in terms of its impact, it will not be too significant compared to when someone has entered the addiction phase, or it can be interpreted that addiction is much more dangerous than greed, because when someone is already in the addiction cycle then obviously it is a situation where they have difficulty ignoring the slightest time not to gamble, or that means someone who is already addicted always wants to spend his time gambling, like he is already dependent.

The impact of greed will only occur when a gambler manages to win which they feel unsatisfied and always want to continue in order to get a bigger win, but if we talk about addiction then it is a phase where a gambler is already experiencing dependence and always wants to gamble, meaning that more money will be lost as a result and this is a very concerning situation.

Do you become a gambling addict without being greedy? No of course. An addict to gambling has a purpose which he is chasing and if you have so much desire in something then that can make you addicted to keep chasing for that which you are desiring and that is greed. When you can not let go in gambling chasing for loses then you are greedy. So a gambling addict is more more also being greedy. The two are inseparable as far as gambling is concerned. It is greed for recovery lost money in gambling that will keep you trying to win which is one effect of becoming an addict.

People who can not control his greediness in gambling will falls deeper in gambling without seeing that he is makes mistakes. When people becomes addicted to gambling, he will not thinks about himself and only want to playing gambling and when he win, he wants to get more win and at that time, his greediness will becomes big. He will not have a chance to control himself and that will only makes him deeper in gambling. Both greediness and addiction can makes someone's lives ruins and can not see what happens to him. That is why we must have good self control when playing gambling so we do not addicted to gambling and we can control our greediness. Playing gambling is just for fun so we can always limits our gambling activity and not trying to playing gambling excessively which can effects us to addicted to gambling.

greed and addiction are two things that both destroy a person, but discussing which is more disastrous, i feel that addiction is the more disastrous one. because addiction is a continuation effect of irresponsible gambling behavior. these gambling addicts don't think about whether their money has run out or not, or how they can get more money to gamble. and it is not uncommon for this to lead to the destruction of the people around these addicts because they experience firsthand how their family collapsed or their house was sold because their father or mother gambled. this is the reason why addiction can be a disaster for people.

This is why I think both options are similar which is needed to avoid by people since if they are experiencing this condition then I think the worse thing that these people can't imagine to happen is bound to happen on them. If they didn't realize that they are starting up to do such risky things and putting to much pressure on everything especially the way how they bet for then provably they will end up being miserable.

So its important for people to have realization on each activities they do at the end of the day so that they would even realize that they commit a mistake the way how they perform or handle their bets. For sure if they know that cost them a lot of money then greed also possible addiction will be eliminated since people will became more careful on their placing of bets since they provably don't want to experience any huge lose that they can't afford to happen.

I was thinking about this two and I go confused which one I should consider more disastrous because as a gambler you can not just get addicted out of no where, there are some things that can make you become addicted and greediness is one of them. But then greediness is just one thing but can can lead to many disastrous things though addiction has many other bad characters in it. When you are addicted to gambling, you are irresponsible, you do not know how to manage your money and time. Greediness is a sin and leads to many bad things because you would never get satisfied with what you have and always want more which can make you to start wanting what belong to others and can lead to stealing or killing just to get what you want. In gambling though, addiction should be more disastrous than greediness.

       -    Actually, that's just bad luck, but most of the time it's the greediness that always leads gamblers to addiction. You won't become an addict if you don't let greed enter your body.
That's why it must be resisted at all costs.

Because if only we gamblers know how to control ourselves, the result of our gambling will always be good, whether we win or lose, because we gamble responsibly.

The effects of both is something you will definitely not wish upon yourself, infact one of them leads to the other, one has to happen before you see the other taking place almost immediately and in most cases greed comes first before the addiction but some persons actually get addicted even without getting greedy at first but somehow you can eventually find some form of greed in people who actually get addicted, most times you definitely don't get the best off gambling if you have either of both challenges

I don't see any of both as been better than the other because they both are going to make you feel terrible in such a way that you are not really going to be happy with the outcome and in some cases you are definitely not going to look responsible in the sight of others resulting from the attitude you posse.

Greed is always present in us humans and we can't control it fully but it's not the greed that makes our lives terrible always but gambling addiction could do that literally. I have seen many greedy people making a lot of money and enjoying their lives but in gambling world greed could be destructive without any doubt.

However, when greed crosses its levels and turns into addiction then things go wrong with the addict. Any type of addiction is harmful for our lives especially when that involves money and in gambling addiction most addicts spend a lot of money in order to satisfy their addiction and possibly in hope of recovering the losses and earning profits from it.

I agree with what you say, indeed these two things do not have a positive side. Both of these things can both destroy a person, maybe the difference is that when they follow their greed they can experience losing money in just one gambling session, for example they win but they can't control themselves so they continue gambling again because they feel lucky so they don't stop gambling but continue gambling by feeling more confident by increasing the bet amount to a higher one, but the risk of losing is still there and usually they only experience the end that makes their winnings disappear again.

With the addiction itself, they will not be able to stop gambling even though they have run out of money or no longer have any money, they will still gamble by looking for ways to make money and return to gambling to satisfy their desire to gamble. With what you say, the bad impact of gambling addiction is not a small problem, because stupid actions will occur, for example selling property you own to be able to gamble again or even stealing other people's money.

Isn't it the case that once you let your greediness enter your personality, it will eventually lead to an addiction that you don't even realize? And once you have an addiction, things will not be good for you because, for sure, your actions and behavior as a gambler are no longer normal.

And usually in that way, they have no control or discipline in themselves because they are controlled by greed and addiction, and that is quite scary in the hope of winning a large amount. When they lose, they will find a way to gamble in a casino.

Most addictions that occur initially are always caused by greed, and someone who applies greed in gambling activities is those who do not understand gambling, where they ignore risks that can actually never be avoided and as time goes by, they end up falling into The addiction phase is unconscious and clear, as you said, when a gambler enters this phase, all his actions tend to be excessive because of the hope of getting a big win.

If we talk about the impact, I think it doesn't need to be mentioned anymore because of course addiction is a situation that will really lead a person to many disasters and all of this happens because most of his actions always tend to be excessive and when the results at the end of the session are not in accordance with his wishes then usually they are not able to accept the fact of losing which in the end, as you said, emotions will control them which makes it always difficult for them to control themselves, and I think it is very natural that when they lose they get emotional because it is clear from the start that their goal is to make a profit Money. And this is a big mistake because after all losing will always be something that is bound to happen and it is clear that in the end such a mindset and approach will trigger more losses.

Addiction and greed are both evil, yet they chew at your spirit differently. Greed is like a never-ending appetite that pushes the limits. Reckless decisions, financial ruin, and damaged relationships can result. Its a killer. Addiction is a mental illness that grips you. Sometimes you chase the excitement of winning even if you know you're losing. The harder you try, the deeper you sink in quicksand.

I see your point that greed is worse. It can damage a lot. But I'd argue that addiction is far more insidious. It damages your finances, health, relationships, and life. A long, painful death is ugly. Addiction is worse, my friend. Its a wild beast that might leave you regretful.

Both things are the best recipe for disaster.

When you are greedy then you would be that spending up more on which you cant afford to lose, until you would be finding yourself at rock bottom in terms of financial condition.
When you are that addicted then everything would really be that pertaining on having no control whether on the gambling activity you are dealing plus with the spending
then you would really be that still ending up on the same thing.

The key on not to make yourself that being devastated with gambling is that you should really be that making yourself responsible and really that wary on the actions you are making.
Dont make yourself that greedy and dont make yourself having no control on the things you've been doing so that you wont really be ending up on a disaster.

This is a complicated thing for me personally, because the two can be interrelated. Greed, is something that is inherent in us as humans. we are born with emotions, desires and everything that becomes satisfaction.  although in reality, humans are never satisfied with their achievements. Addiction is a deviant behavior caused by various factors, but the general case in gambling is caused by excessive behavioral activity. whether it's excessive in terms of game sessions, excessive in terms of expecting to win and so on. Anyway, for me the two are related. although there are many who don't realize that greed is involved when we play a game session, especially when we are in a winning condition. it's hard to tell the difference between greed and playing a game that is giving good shots when playing a game. There is no other way, apart from involving awareness when in a betting or gambling session.

In essence, what you say is a complex part of ourselves. I mean, what you said especially at some points has become human nature. especially, if it is related to gambling. We often experience greed, addiction, dissatisfaction and wanting to play again and again, right. So, we agree that responsibility can be involved in gambling. However, it's not just responsibility. For me, it is also important to understand and know the limits of what we can afford without disrupting other funds or having a negative impact on the environment.

Before getting down to addiction, it first has to go through the act of greediness, from that desperate urge to win big, which will affect the amount used to gamble, the number of times the users gambling and even when there is not enough money to gamble the user has no choice other than to find every available measures without considering the risk.  Both factors has rendered many users to pay a difficult price, chasing loses and finally ending financially broke.

First of all, for a gambler to think that he wants to gamble for profit means that he is greedy. This is because he is not gambling for fun but to see how he can take profit from the casino funds, which becomes the bait. A gambler that is greedy will believe that he can use gambling to double his money because he wants to reap from where he did not sow due to laziness.

Addiction is the worst because you have gone beyond control, and it becomes like a plague if you don't realize yourself fast and quit fast because addiction will eat you deep.

For me I think greed could be the reason why many people are addicted to gambling. Greed will make you to use all your money to gambling thinking you will get a gain from it,  Greed will make you not to understand your playing limit, and sometimes if you are not careful greed can also make one not to have good self control.  I think if one can be able to handle greed it will be possible for one try not to get addicted to gambling. But when one is so much greedy the next habit that will be developed is addiction. Greediness and addiction they work together, it is something that every gambler needs to avoid because it can runs one's life.

Addiction. Greedy person could be greedy once, and they could do something wrong and they can learn a lesson from there, which is totally fine. However, if we are talking about someone who doesn't know what to do regards to their addiction then they are going to get a lot more in trouble for sure.

I personally believe that the best way to move forward would be just making sure that we are handling this in a timely fashion and stop before it's too late. Greedy people can stop quicker, whereas addicted people may need professional help to stop and that is the most important part. I believe that we are going to have a lot more trouble and that is why we should be considering the situation a lot more riskier eventually.

I agree with this point, but there is a main difference between those two terms, greediness is just a moment of weakness, but addiction is for the long run. Even someone who gets greedy can stop after getting a big win, while the addict will lose all even if he will a massive amount. And what they have in common is the focus, both of them want a huge win. That's a fact.

So, i would say the addiction is more disastrous and it could have a worse end.

If greed does not work in someone, he will never become addicted to gambling.  Because the lust of winning something big from gambling makes people gradually addicted to gambling. When someone uses gambling only for fun, he can forget about gambling because there are many fun tools around which he can enjoy life.  But when the greed works in him that if he continues to gamble, he will win something very big at one point, he will gradually turn into a deep addiction to gambling. So I think greed is the most dangerous thing

Being greedy is the start of getting addicted into what you are doing, you might not realize this one but slowly you will turn into this especially if you gamble continuously with greed. Addiction are more disastrous as this is already the result of your greed and when you are addict a lot of negative things can happen in your life, and the worst part is giving up that easily because you can't control your addiction anymore.

That is a dumb statement, we are not all addicts in any capacity.  Addiction is psychological phenomenon in which a person just can't stop engaging in a particular behavior, even in the face of the dire consequences. This includes attributes like bad impulse control, extreme craving, numbness etc - all applicable to the behavior in question. Addicts literally have different brain structures compositions than normal people. The term implies a certain threshold of intensity and some prerequisite behaviors, where we can start attributing it to people. As far as I know, normal people don't engage in this kind of behavior, engaging in impulsive behavior spasmodically or in some minor capacity doesn't take someone to vicinity of addiction. Its a very specific word that is used for a dangerous behavior. Using it randomly like this is silly.

It would be like saying everybody is schizophrenic, more or less... Because everybody can be delusional from time to time. But of course that would be make no sense, that term is to used for a specific intensity and pattern of behaviors. The same is true for addiction.

I agree.

Because it might push you to do other unnecessary things even the illegal ones.

Whilst for the greediness, it is all about you taking or not money and betting more.

So if it is about what is the most dangerous one, addiction is.

I feel like both can just be as destructive as the other given the right circumstances. You got greediness on one hand that could literally run you out of your pockets when you gamble too much and forget that you have limits, especially when you're winning a lot and you think you're invincible for that matter. And then you got gambling addiction which sometimes could stem from the innate greediness that you experience and all that stuff. Also have to consider that gambling addiction could also come from a place of lacking, wherein you gamble because you lost so much money and you think the only way of recuperating all those losses is actually gambling more and incurring more losses in the process.

There are nuances to these kinds of topics where you can't just pick and choose which one is worse. IMO, greed can get you to a lot of good places, but it could also get you to a couple more that's really bad, gambling addiction on the other hand does not bring anything good to you. This is my opinion though.

I view this evenly. Addiction and greed are both signs of lack of self control or discipline. Both could yield to bigger problem and as we all know there is a better option which is to accept things especially whenever you are losing. Accept that it is gambling you are dealing and not just an easy way to get rich scheme. Well, yes there is a tendency for an individual to earn 100x than what you have wagered but nothing's guaranteed. If you are in profit always prioritize securing the amount. Be mindful that good outcomes won't happen continuously which should be an enough warning to not be greedy. Same goes with addiction; bigger the drive, bigger the tendency to be prone. If you are at the point that you are disregarding profit-loss ratio, then you should be reflecting by now and don't wait for things to escalate.

Aren't they like the same because they're both rooted in obsession, but probably in terms of degree, I think that the damage of addiction is much more widespread because it affects you to the highest degree and the damage it does to people around you that's your relative is so high that disastrous is the perfect word for it given how bad it can be, imagine this, you're addicted to gambling but you think it's not that bad but if you look at the misery of your loved ones, that's probably going to change your mind.

Greediness is nothing compared to addiction ss a disaster, greed is just a tendency and might nit always be the case or the reason behind loss, but addiction is worse cause you are always in a situation where you can act Greedily every day and end up ruin yourself.

They are similar because greediness can actually lead to addiction, and addiction, on the other hand, can also lead to greediness.
Addiction and greediness are both characteristics of an intense desire for something.
Addiction is when one is dependent on something despite the negativity of it, while greediness is an excessive desire for material things, often at the expense of others. For example, when a gambler is winning a game, instead of making use of it, he goes harder, not because he is just addicted to it but because, at this point, it's out of greed to make more.
If one is not greedy, I believe he or she can't be addicted to gambling. You can see a gambler trying so hard to use some amount of money to make millions of dollars, and that's greed. Therefore, they are both dangerous and disastrous. 

do we really need to differentiate this? isn't greed turns addiction? because if there is no greediness then gamblers will be contented in small winning then they will never turn into the saddest as addiction?

sorry but I think they are one and that is why never to become greedy in gambling if you don't wanna become addicted.

As a gambler, you should at least be aware of the fact that being greedy will only lead to your failure when gambling and thus failure will be more losses than a win making your gambling experience terrible. A lot of gamblers sometimes fail to understand when to cash out their winnings or continue playing this of cause is greed. At least when you have gotten a double pf what you had initial started playing with, you should consider cashing out or stop playing for that period. This is why most gamblers looses so much after spending all day in the casino.

As for addiction, it comes alongside greed. Though One can be greedy and not be addicted but been addicted and greedy will be the end of your gaming activities. Addiction alone is hard to control when greediness gets in, you may end up doing what you never expected to.

In my opinion, greed and addiction have the same point of view and both have the same meaning in gambling, namely that both will have a bad impact on the gambler's life. Because a gambler who is addicted previously had a greedy nature in pursuing something he wanted so that without proper self-control in every game, the gambler gambles without having time limits or bets so that over time he will experience a great addiction.

Greediness and addiction are both equally disastrous to us,  financially and mentally. Gambling should not just be for fun alone but also should not be referred as a source of income or profit making service, we gamble aswell with the hope of winning our bets despite even if we lose the bet we don't go into financial trauma. Every gambler has the mentality to always win, no one would like to keep losing his bet because he does gambling for fun alone.

Greed will usually be realized when you have lost a lot but addiction is often not realized and even the person experiencing it may deny it, and both are dangerous and which of the two is more disastrous? I don't know for sure, but in my opinion, both are disastrous because both can lead people to great loss, but people who are greedy when they realize it can change instantly don't need help from other people, but addiction can only be changed or cured with therapy, even though they realize and try to recover, without help from professional is very possible for him to return to his addiction, so if I had to choose I would choose to be greedy rather than being addicted but not experiencing both is much better because both are detrimental to the person who experiences it.

That's right, addiction and greed are actually one unit, gambling addicts are created because of greed and they cannot be separated, so I don't want to be both. I am quite active in gambling but I try my best not to be addicted to gambling and become a greedy person, gambling is really fun when we are able to control it, greed is a destructive thing and it really must be thrown away by everyone.

@OP might has linguistic bachelor degree, that's why he treat every words different even though the result of both of them are same. :D

Either addict or greedy will make gamblers lost all of their money since the house edge make the casino will win in the end. The only exception if the gambler has a power to print money, so he don't have to worry about his loss since he can print new money over and over.

I don't think it's proper, or better stated as smart to undermine the disastrous tendency of addiction over greed. Greed is mild in gambling issues if you must know and the context of greed is everywhere, you will never see a human being that is not greedy in one facet of life or another. This is partly why the context of greed is even relative as what some people terms as greed may not necessarily mean greed to others. But can you say of such in addiction? Also, if I may ask you, what is most popular when it comes to the issues associated with gambling, is it greed or addiction? Addiction of corse, and this should have hinted to you that addiction is not what you should undermine for whatever reason. It is so destructive to the point that it could cost people their lives.

If you agree with me, most people are not addicted to gambling even as many people could be greedy at one point or the other while gambling, and they should be thankful because it (greed) is momentarily. If you are greedy in a bet now, that doesn't mean you will continue to be betting, No, such a person may just go home and recount his ordeal and perhaps vow not to repeat the same mistake again. Such may even not gamble again for months or weeks to heal from the wound. But it is a different case when you are addicted, you will continue going there whether you are wasting money daily or not, which is bitterly disastrous.

Let me conclude by saying addiction is evil, a waster, it is very terrible and makes sure that you are irresponsible in gambling which will surely affect your living as well, but greed only teaches a painful lesson. However, that is only if the outcome of the betting is negative, but mind you, it is not all greedy bets that comes out negative.

Yes it is a unity that always goes hand in hand, and as we know that a gambler who is addicted they always apply greed every time they gamble, especially when they are in a winning situation where instead of cashing out the winnings but they continue the session with higher hopes and confidence to get a bigger win.

As you said that you don't want to experience both because after all clearly addiction is a situation that can really cause a lot of bad disasters in our lives, and we can see that there are even some people who are desperate to commit suicide which recently happened in the area where I live because of addiction and I heard the news that he had a lot of debt which means that most likely he experienced significant stress due to debt, Therefore as you said that as much as possible we should be able to avoid the possibility of addiction by implementing various precautions, and yes it is true that gambling will only be enjoyed when we can control it.

Actually, I don't see much distinction between these disastrous habit of gambling, they are just like a vicious circle and one lead to another. Greediness is the mother of addiction, it makes one to gamble often simply because they want to win more and more which lead to addiction in the long run. Addiction don't just start like that, it starts gradually as you continue gambling frequently and to some stage that you can stay for hours without gambling.

To answer the Op question, I will say greediness is more disastrous than addiction since it's the cause root of addiction and if one can control one's greediness, becoming addicted to gambling will be easy to handle. Greed tells you to gamble more you might probably win from this round, if you listen to that revelation your journey to addiction has just started. We know the dangers being addicted to gambling cause to gamblers, it is necessary to control our greediness as a step to begin with.

Just like you, I would also say that addiction is more disastrous than greed. When someone is addicted to gambling, they will no longer think about how they gamble, because what they need most is to gamble and gamble until their desires are fulfilled. Addiction has reached an advanced level and treatment usually requires professionals, because it has a direct impact on the thoughts and actions of gamblers. And therefore addiction is more disastrous because it is a complex problem and addicted gamblers usually do not feel that what they are doing is wrong.

 I'm afraid when it comes to money issues, this two; greed and addiction walk side by side. Gamblers believe that once they stake a game and they win it, there's the possibility of staking higher and winning bigger and thats where greed comes in. I've got a friend who stakes little money on a game, and if he wins, begins to regret not putting more money in it and as such isn't content with the amount won and will want to keep playing. Such kinds of peeps don't get satisfied easily and even though they are excited for the temporal huge win, they get the urge to keep playing to multiply their winnings.

I do not agree with this, addiction could make you fall into a pit, and being too greedy could turn into addiction as well, but greed itself is not dangerous at default because it can be stopped. You could be greedy once, and learn your mistake and never be that greedy again, in that case greed isn't bad because it teaches you how to do better.

I personally believe that we are going to end up with something much better one way or another, and should definitely consider how we can get better from it. Addiction on the other hand is not something that would be all that great, we should consider how we could get better and how we could move forward with it, it shouldn't be really all that complicated because addiction is much worse.

And I believe that greediness can be stopped as we realized that we are doing wrong but addiction seems to be a big challenge for everyone that hardly changes. The more we chase losses, the more we become addicted, and the more it becomes disastrous to our lives.
Maybe, if we can stop our greediness to the fullest, I believe this will end everything we suffer which I believe it is the main reason for addiction. Having these things, gambling is not enjoyable anymore and this brings us to the worst scenario as we are about to compromise our lives mentally and financially.

Honestly, it is too lucky to see a gambler who is addicted but not greedy or vice versa.  

Well said. I believe Addiction opens the gamblers to greediness, over expectancy, and other bad gambling habits. When one is addicted he can devise any means to satisfy his urge and quest, getting addicted is very bad and hard to cut off from, one can learn from a mistake he made from one game, immediately stop being greedy after then as some of us have been greedy and stop it but when it comes to Addiction that is not the case, it affect you emotionally, financially, and even in Relationships.

I would say, we prevent getting addicted by all means, this is the ultimate source of bad habits which never leads to happy ending.

Yep I'm sure what you said is indeed a fact because indeed two years ago I also experienced the problem of addiction in myself which is like what you said that when the result at the end of the session wins then at that time the feeling arises to continue the session by betting a higher amount because we must understand that when someone is in that situation then various temptations will come to mind which all encourage us to return to betting higher amounts in order to get a bigger win and obviously this is greed.

And yes like what you said about your friend where he bet a small amount but when it turned out that the result won then he would feel sorry for not betting a higher amount, but one thing we must understand that even if for example we bet with a higher amount maybe the result will be different or maybe it turns out that we lose, so that's why it's important for a gambler to have a sense of gratitude in himself by accepting whatever the result at the end of the session, if indeed the amount of our victory is small then it is indeed the amount of our luck on that day. So the point is that the point that we must pay attention to in the context of greed is that we will never be able to get a real winning amount if we always apply greed, because we definitely want to continue until we finally lose everything.

Once the player already experienced wins they will chase more for it, sometimes they already get what they want but due to greediness they want to win more, so they keep playing and hoping to win a large set of numbers again in their multiplier but the opposite happens they didnt win instead they keep losing and lose their gains from the previous games, and reason to lose. After their game and making another set of it they keep hitting bad luck instead and hoping to get at least what they have achieved from their previous games that's the time they are now getting addicted for chasing a large amount of money. Playing without setting your limitation and budget might lead to addiction.

Indeed. As they say we can get born with an existing greedy nature but I haven't heard yet that addiction is also included with it. All the times, addiction only came out for a long term of doing an activity or consuming something. A losing result is bad but if we are like that (a responsible gambler), we can only lose less and it's not going to be long for us to recover and go back to having a positive mindset again.

For the addicted gamblers, even though their outcome is good in gambling, it will only revert to bad in a short period of time because they will continue playing or they will re-deposit again if they do a withdrawal earlier.

Well, I don't think it's every addicted gambler that gets greedy; some gamblers might be extremely addicted to gambling but may not show any form of greedy attitude in them. Gambling addiction is already a big problem for a gambler to handle, If the gambler is also a greedy person at the same time, then he is really in a big mess. I know how greed has actually dealt with some people in crypto trading, and if I should relate it to gambling, I would say it's not good at all for a gambler to be greedy. 

I think that one of the most common reasons that causes Gambling addiction is greediness itself. In many cases, a gambler falls into addiction because he gets so greedy that he always wants to win more and more and tries to gamble everytime even though he wins some money but he is never satisfied of the results.

Being an addicted gambler is already a terrible thing to live with and uncontrollable, let along being both addicted and greedy.

I think that I can't pick any side from these two cases because they are both terrible in their own way, being a greedy gambler would definitely make you fall into addiction anyways.

I believe that these two are correlated and walk side by side. You win a few games, you're becoming confident that you've found a way to earn some quick and easy cash, your greed exceeds any logical barrier, and you keep gambling more and more. You're slowly becoming addicted due to your thirst for more. Eventually, you start losing more and more money; you cannot stop gambling in an effort to recoup your losses and dig further down the rabbit hole. Ultimately, you're stuck in a loop—a vicious cycle you cannot escape unless you put an end to it.

These two notions go side by side; one is required by the other, and vice versa. At least that's how I see things.

Good point, greed definitely leads to addiction! Greed is also a form of addiction if you think about it. Addicted to the accumulation or "married to the money" they say. But lets say they hit that big stroke of luck, now they are married to the money for real. If their greed leads to financial ruin, welp, hate to say it but they married the game  aka the gambling in the form of casinos, slots, craps, you name it.

And usually greed and addiction go hand in hand, when a greedy person plays gambling he will definitely have an addiction, and a person who has an addiction is not far from his greedy self, so this combination is complete and cannot be separated.
This is indeed inseparable because it must always exist in humans when experiencing one of them in gambling.

To overcome this, namely with awareness of the risks and awareness of the principle of responsible gambling will be much better, because without having it we will not be able to feel that we have limits in gambling greed will always flow in us if we do not have arrangements to limit it, For example, when we get a win and our balance increases 100% of the total deposit made, or half of it, as a limit to stop gambling, it will limit us from playing more impulsively and greedily, in fact there are still many people who don't even limit it so they think that when gambling they will multiply their money thousands of presses from the deposit they made.

I will say that both are harmful. We can't determine which harms more. But yes, if a person has one of the mentioned qualities, then it will do the damage on the same level. In both greediness and addiction, there is a huge chance that you might lose your money. Specifically if you are gambling with these qualities. Hence, rather than comparing the two, it would be better to avoid these qualities in yourself as a gambler. Just set small targets and gamble until you achieve them.

It is true, someone who gambles will experience both of these things, especially if they have the wrong perception of gambling. With those who are addicted, of course they won't stop until they get what they want, namely a big win, even though they have won, they will feel less satisfied and go back to gambling, so this is where they will feel greed and will lead them to greater destruction. It's true what you said, these two things can bring bad luck to someone who gambles.
Greed may only be felt by those who gamble with the aim of making money by gambling, whereas not everyone gambles with that aim. Because there are some wise gamblers who can control themselves and limit their gambling activities. But even that doesn't cover up addiction or greed because every once in a while they might feel that.

Geed is far way more dangerous than addiction. Then imagine greed plus addiction. Any gambler who possess these two detrimental characters will never be successful in gambling. The consequences of greed is that it make us want to stake high amount and we may end up putting all our bankroll at ones for a big cash out which at the end may be lucky to win or may end up losing all out money in one bet. The greed can limit us from making inclined decisions. IN a scenario where we are already making wins in gambling of which it is satisfying to quit at that moment but we choose to continue, of course that is greed and there are higher chances of us losing both our profits and capital in the bet again.

Sometimes we possesses these characteristics because we have a target or pending bills to pay. My advice is that relying on gambling to settle debts, start business and do other important things in life is not proper. Gambling wins or profits is to support us financially but shouldn't be a major source of income in this life.

One is a result of the other. Unfortunately, informing them about the principle of responsible gambling isn't going to cut it; don't you think they already know it? Increasing awareness isn't going to help them. They're just in denial: "I'm not addicted; I can stop whenever I want," but that couldn't be further from the truth. Trust me, I've heard it quite a few times myself. The first step is to acknowledge that you're addicted. Those who suffer rarely accept it as the truth, and they'll eventually score a large win, making them even greedier and thirstier for more. Gambling addiction and greed are a vicious cycle.

Greediness will not dangerous if someone can manage his emotion, especially when he wins some gambling games and thinks to stops playing gambling immediately before everything is change. But most people falls to their greediness and not thinks about stops from playing gambling instead keeps playing gambling because they wants to chase the next bigger wins. That makes them greedy because they trying to play for more to gets more wins but the reality is many of them lose their money along with their wins before.

Yes, we will gets much better if we can control ourselves and when we wins and can stops from playing gambling immediately, we can withdraw the money and enjoy the wins moment. Many people becomes addicted to gambling without they knows and that's because they greed before and trying to chase their wins. They don't knows that when they greed, that just makes them keeps playing gambling without stops and they will comes back in the next days. If they comes back too often, that can triggers them to becomes addicted to gambling.

Well, greediness is not the only thing that exists or is actually experienced in gambling. No matter where we are in relation to money, greediness is always around. It's really up to us if we keep it in our thoughts and adopt it to apply to our character.

The only thing that is usually really useful is that there is too much greed in the gambling category because most of the gambling players are small, hoping that they will get a lucky jackpot that they think will happen to them who also got the jackpot prize in gambling instant wealth. That's it.

What is the difference between greed and frugality? These qualities are practically no different, only in their emotional coloring, that is, give a negative connotation to greed, and a positive connotation to frugality. In fact, this is the same quality, but depending on the situation it brings either harm or benefit. In your case, greed transforms into wastefulness.

How is gaming addiction different from strong passion? These two qualities are also no different.

These reasons most often act together, enhancing the effect.

Stimulants such as anticipation (the expectation that a big win will soon appear), joy and pleasure from winning (a positive stimulus that encourages repeated repetition), disappointment and sadness from losing (a negative stimulus that one does not want to repeat) also appear here.

Really? Will long-term dependence with small bets accumulate into large losses over many years?

When comparing which is worse, greed or gambling addiction, you lose sight of the fact that these qualities are almost equally valuable in terms of harmfulness.


Oh, if only we could choose our vices. :)

A big win will also make someone lose more, after getting a big win someone will be more confident that he will get a big win from the bet he made, the more here they will be more greedy and more think that they can get what they want from gambling, I think everything has a correlation with what is being talked about because it will get greedy and addiction which has a close relationship with the case of someone getting disastrous from gambling.

Yes most people deny that they are greedy and addicted, they refuse to admit it and feel that they can control themselves, but what we see is that they use most of their money to gamble and tell the truth after everything is used up in gambling, I found cases like this, when someone feels that they still have money they are arrogant and do not accept the facts, but when the money runs out they tell the truth that they regret having gambled their money in gambling without restrictions, but when they have the money back they make the same mistake.

Although greed empties our budget after betting, when we are awake to calculate the nature and problem, nature still points the arrow down to serious addiction because no matter how greedy we are, without addiction there will be no place for us to actualize that greed and even when greed is free to play but in a non-addictive situation, it's still a safe game. It sounds dangerous, but the safety is still higher than an addict, they build sustainability while greed builds transience, besides, addiction fuels greed, instead of vice versa.

This means that greed and addiction cannot be separated because they will always go hand in hand, and also greed will always be there if the activity has elements that can make someone addicted to get the same results as the wins they have previously gotten, and one of the things that triggers I think the occurrence of addiction in gambling is clear because the object of winning is money which everyone will always need money and because this also ultimately triggers greed to get bigger amounts.

So it is clear that in my opinion the beginning of greed is because this activity has elements that can make someone addicted so they want more rewards, even though it is very clear that this is a wrong action and mindset, but yes, that is how it is when someone is involved in gambling without having a pattern. rational thinking and point of view which ultimately leads them to various harmful actions, because it is clear that for example someone is able to think rationally before
they are involved in gambling and understand how gambling really is then
I don't think they will end up with addiction and greed, so it depends on the person whether he can be a responsible gambler or not.

That first major win is bait, not wealth. It makes you feel like a wizard, not just a lucky schmuck, on your own supply. Unfortunately, casinos aren't charities. They're meant to make, not provide. Every game and dice roll is rigged for them, not you. You may get lucky, but it eventually runs out. If you're not careful, your first big win can turn into a massive loss, regret, and empty wallets

Greed and addiction lead to chasing losses, betting money you don't have, and wrecking your life. Be smart when gambling. Set limitations, follow them, and remember it's a game. Don't get caught up in the rush, don't try to win back what you lost, and don't bet more than you can afford

Both are actually disastrous for me but addiction is severe in the long run as greed is like a short term habit I think but it also hurts if we lose since we are overspending just to get max winnings but that is only possible if we will be lucky. This mostly happen from low budget to average gamblers who increase their bets in the hope of winning much more money but still winning could be one on a million incident.

You spoked so well mate. Addiction is a long run something but greediness comes once in a while. However both addition and greediness are almost the same but one comes first before the other. If not for greediness some gamblers won't have been addicted to gamble. Gamble is fun when winning but few gamblers gamble for profit. Although gambling for profits alone doesn't make one to be addicted. When a gambler is gambling for profits and greedy same time it makes them becomes addicted.

Yes, it means that greed is what leads gamblers to addiction or it could be the other way around. Everyone loves money, especially if they manage to get it with little effort, or without having to spend a lot of sweat like doing general work. But what they don't remember is that gambling will always remain a risky activity that can make them experience losing money in any amount according to the amount of budget they bet.

On the other hand you said that only a few gamblers come with the intention of earning? I think it's quite the opposite, the majority of gamblers are those who gamble with the intention and purpose of earning, the reason is because they think that they can get a lot of money with little effort, but it has been proven that in the end they experience a lot of bad things in their lives such as financial problems where they run out of a lot of money and even they have to sell some of their valuables or borrow from some services just to gamble, and maybe I would say that they are typical gamblers who are involved in gambling but not with the right understanding of how gambling really is.

For me, I will say the two works in hand in hand because if someone is greedy while gambling, he will wants to gamble more, in that case, addiction steps in, which is very hard for any gamblers to stop.

And there is no way a person will gamble and win, he will still wants to gamble more, that is you have a target that day, maybe you are looking for money which you want to use it for something else, and you said, you want to go and try luck in gambling, and eventually your luck shine and win but it's not enough and you want to gamble more, while gambling, you start losing and then you will be angry and wants to try again and win again, just like that, one becomes an addict and anything that makes a gambler become greedy or an addicts, it's never going to be a benefit one for the person, it will have a side effect in their lives. So no one is good or better, the two are worst thing a gambler would experience.

You are right, excessive love for money makes a gambler gamble more than required, which results in him getting to that point where he can no longer say no to gambling. Like I said before, addiction doesn't just happen, something triggered it to  happen. In the case of gambling, addiction is triggered by greed and this makes greed even more disastrous. Greed doesn't only lead to addiction, it causes loss of money, ruins relationships and causes so many other unimaginable harms to the greedy gambler. As long as gamblers continue to ignore the potential consequences of greed, they will keep getting into trouble.

I don't know what you mean by saying the gambling players are small because am certain that opposite it is the case when it comes to the numbers of gamblers out there. What I feel is the cause is just based on the fact that every gambler just wants to have a piece of the luck that maybe must have gotten to some else because from my observations the quickest way for a story to be spread is when someone actually won some huge amount of money, believe me it takes no second for the whole thing to reflect or reach the ears of the entire world.

People are attracted to other people winnings and for me this is not greedy as it's a normal thing for people to get inspired by their winnings but the only issue now is that they would be know when they want to stop and start.

We are born greedy in nature. In fact, that serves as our own motivation but the outcome will only differ based on how you will use your greed. If you are highly greedy and turns uncontrollable, that is never good anymore. You will end up falling into gambling addiction eventually. However, if you only use your greed minimally, there’s never wrong with it as long as you know how to control and limit your greed. Gambling addiction starts with a greedy mindset, that’s why as much as possible, learn to control your greed so you won’t up falling into gambling addiction.

I'd say, addiction is more deadly than any other urge a gambler would have.. a greedy gambler can gamble away all his earnings and also, his assets; but mostimes, they could get across an interception that would blur the vision and submerge his extravagant attitude.. it may be his wifey, children, parents, job, friends, or real life problems.

Addiction is a different story in general; they could get an interception and, after a while, they'd be back trying to wager again. Subconsciously, they're always thinking they could win through the period they're not actively gambling.

Being greedy, just like being addict, isn't on-off situation. There are differeent levels of being greedy, and different levels of being addicts. Most of the people share some of the both traits, but they aren't in a level that's problematic. Definition of greedy can seem different to different people. People who are ultimately greedy because it's part of their sociopath symptoms might see only positive sides by being greedy.  Especially when they themselves are greedy. Others can be obstacles for them if they are.

Addicts often seem greedy as nothing satisfies them. Actually it could be brain rewarding issue, when greedy person wants more, they get their dopamine fix, but that's not enough for a while. When addicts get their dopamine fix, they are greedy for something, and that something isn't filling their needs too long before they need another fix. This fix can be anything they are addicted to. But it's not ever enough. And for greedy people, it's not always just more money. It can be more of anything, and it never fills their need for too long.

Yes, it can also be said to be a bait, a big win will make a person think that he gets wealth easily, then feel that he can create money, and if we are fixated on that thought then it is possible that we will come back and come back to get money again in the same way by bringing bigger money and entering the casino and thinking that he will get a lot more money because he has a large capital, greed and addiction to victory begin to envelop his heart and mind, but after the big win no longer get what was expected before.

In the end he used money that could not be lost then continued to pursue it and ended up losing everything even the money he had won from the previous game, people who are covered in greed and addiction will be disastrous in life, this applies in any field.

yes the point is not to chase what has been lost, never try and try after the limit of money budgeted for gambling has been exhausted which forces you to deposit again, avoid actions that will make us impulsive towards gambling to maintain sanity.

Addiction and greediness are two different things for me, both terms are used in several situations and when it comes to gambling, addiction comes because of greediness, it is that feeling which makes any gambler not satisfied so he keep gambling, until he becomes an addict, this last one as you mentioned in your example :   

This mindset of a gambler who is going or started an early addiction, first times of gambling, that person will enjoy any amount he best with, until he begins in selling everything and risking his savings to feel that adrenaline rush, with small amount at the very beginning until he raises his bet amounts due to greediness, eventually these both feelings are going to destroy him and his life very slowly without noticing it.

If you want an answer to your question, you can Imagine any drug addict who started with weed until engaging in dangerous and mortal drugs, greediness to me is attached with addiction most of the time

In my opinion both are equally disastrous however greediness can result in addiction over time. The fact is that most of the time , people who lose more during Gambling activities are usually the ones that take gambling too serious to the extent that to some of them it becomes their source of income and because they require funds to do a great deal of things they begin to spend more time on gambling activities just to be able to meet up with the amount of money they need.
Personally I see gambling addiction as the result of prolonged effect of improper and unhealthy gambling practices like spending excess time on gambling activities or even having the habit of staking over their means which is something that I think most addicts have in common.

Your opinion about the subject matter is 100% spot on mate. When it comes to gambling, greediness and addiction are two strong factors that every gambler should avoid if he truly wants to succeed in gambling or risk wasting everything he gets in gambling. Greediness in gambling is the easiest way to become a gambling addict so the two of them compliments each other. When I started gambling, I started gambling with a huge winning that helped me clear my debt but immediately after my first day, I started thinking that it's right for to gamble as often as i can which atbthe end, i became very greedy with my gambling engagements and utterly became an addict

Both disastrous and both correlated to each other i would say because you wont really be  that getting addicted if you wont really be that greedy because one of the things that could really be pushing you to play further more is on the moment that you do find yourself that being having that kind of intent to play even more despite of the financial condition that you are into. It would really be that too impossible that you wont really be able to make yourself wary on the things that you are really that involving into specially when dealing up with gambling. It would really be just that a normal condition that you would be chasing up your loses
at the moment that you are doing gambling this is why self control would really be relevance.

At the moment that you are on such condition on which you are that trying out to be rich with gambling then this is where desperation would really be kicking in and at the moment that
you would really be out of control then you would really be finding yourself having that kind of messed up condition which would really be ending up for you to have
that kind of realization but well its already too late.

Greediness will lead you to addiction.

The hunger of winning more or recovering your losses could lead you to that state. But I think both of them shouldn't be patronized by any of us although it's no longer a secret that many can't stop themselves.

Either way, both are disastrous. That's what I think with both of them as the impact and effect of it are not good to any of us.

This is true because both too at some point work together a s so they can both lead anyone to distraction a s this will have a lot to do with how well they are able to handle it, if you have a very good Level of self control, handling greed is something you can always put in place but when you don't have enough self control, you get Very greedy a d will not be able to utilize the little you have get or know when no to continue so you don't end up loosing all that you have already.

Your view of gambling addiction aswell is even a very relatable and correct way of seeing gambling addiction of which if you observe carefully amongst addicts, you may get to find this which you did mentioned common amongst them all and you will agree with me that it's a common thing amongst the gamblers.

As said, being greedy is a kind of addictive mentality. Greediness mostly accompanies being on the losing side. In most cases, it isn't the greed but the agony of getting back what has been lost earlier. This is where people make the mistake of gambling more and more, even when they have won enough for the day. This is where self-control is very important, and while we're into gambling, some sort of discipline needs to be followed. Only then a person is able to make better wins out of gambling. Particularly, one shouldn't be gambling in abnormal situations like anger, a tensed mindset, killing time, etc. Gambling is disastrous when you don't have a proper understanding of the consequences.

The importance of self-awareness to remain in control of what we earn is an important value for responding to gambling so that it is not easy to spend money just on gambling. The nature of addiction in gambling places is indeed very difficult to avoid, but that will all change by itself when we find the best way to avoid it. Usually the most appropriate is when you already have someone you love and want to be in a serious relationship and collect a lot of money to achieve that and spend time actively working every day then this will usually help us avoid addiction.

Of course, and I would say that both of these bad things always start due to overestimating and responding to the chances of winning in gambling, and this is the reason why we must always put limits on expectations of winning, and this is also the reason why everyone must first understand how gambling really is, none other than this is to straighten your point of view on the actual fact that gambling is not a place to earn because there is absolutely no certainty and any guarantee to always be able to get a win.

The point is never put excessive confidence in winning or don't see gambling as a place to earn, because when your mindset is like that then obviously you will find it difficult to control yourself such as controlling greed and emotions when losing, so it all depends on how our mindset is in addressing gambling itself.

Those who gamble greedily will of course gamble very often and of course this will make someone addicted to gambling and indeed most of those who gamble in this way of course want big wins from the gambling they do, yes both of these things are certainly not good. for us to imitate, of course there are many losses that we will experience if we choose to gamble in this way and also this can only be done by those who can limit themselves when gambling.

Just put limits to ourselves when we gamble and the control will be there. It all varies on how do you see yourself managing your bankrolls and decisions when betting.

Even with that point you've said, I guess that most of us are naturally confident because we're trying to attract positive energy and luck with it so, we're always positive thinkers.

I haven't seen a greedy gambler that have won a lot. If they win, they're going to spend that carelessly again to gamble and won't be satisfied.

That's why greediness and addiction are a tandem of attitudes that we shouldn't have. And even we're gamblers, I know that it's possible not to be addicted and greedy.

I believe both greediness and addiction goes together, a gambler who is addicted has in some point being greedy in his decision to either take profit or continue gambling and they usually end up playing until they exhaust all the money they have. However all addicted gamblers are greedy gamblers and they are inextricably interwoven. Once you start having the symptom of getting too greedy with your gambling you should consider taking a break or restructure your mindset because it will only lead to destruction of your financial health. That is why you should know better than chasing after your loses because it will only make you go broke.

Yes that's right. Greed will bring suffering because a greedy gambler will always feel lacking so he will suffer and what's worse he will become addicted, and vice versa, gambling addiction can also become greedy because the addict cannot control himself. As a gambler, we must eliminate these two characteristics, because these two characteristics will bring disaster, both mental damage and financial loss.

There are many examples of cases in this world that have these two characteristics in gambling which lead to bankruptcy and stress. So don't take it lightly, if you feel you have this characteristic, you should stop gambling first and rearrange your strategy so that we can gamble responsibly. Gamble smartly.

Greed when you win a high amount you will not feel satisfied because you want to continue to win, the end of betting again by increasing the bet then this has led to a worse addiction where the big win runs out again because you yourself are greedy.

Just apply good discipline, when you win then immediately withdraw some so that you enjoy and leave a little in the account for the next session.
Never chase losses until whatever you will not win and we never know when luck comes again, if only thinking about today's hunch will win the jackpot is mostly missed.

For me both greediness and addiction is disastrous in gambling since both of them can lead to substantial losses but between the two I believe addiction is way worst since when a gambler succomb to addiction, he will have an uncontrolled urge to gamble while greediness still have that control factor.

Greed can lead to a wrong call or mistakes that can cause losses but I do not believe that it can lead 100% to addiction as long as the person don't chase losses.  Greediness is something like winning yet a person does not stop until he loses the bet like betting in a parley where a gambler has the instinct that the next game will not result in favor of his bet and yet due to yearning to win more, he did not cash out.  

While addiction is something that a gambler who has no control over at all, whether he wins or loses, has funds or not has to engage in gambling activity even if he has to sell all his properties just to gamble.

I better not have myself into any one of the two cause the two are interrelated and being cognate it's a freeway to have the other if you already in chains of one. How do you think addiction starts with? It's a greed attracted attitude, the more a gambler gets greedy in going for more higher and higher stakes to win bigger money out of dissatisfaction of the little coming in, hence you're breeding gambling addiction. An endless urge for more.

I will prefer to be fond of a particular casino game or sports betting than wanting to either be greedy or addicted because none of the two habits is of anything good with gambling they are both bad entirely.

Although in terms of gambling I don't think there is any much difference between greedy and addict because they are both together but however if I must distinguish between the both I think addict is the most terrible thing to become because it clouds your judgment to actually know when you are gambling or loosing too much because all your focus or believe will be that you are going to win the bet or become successful while gambling.

Meanwhile greediness on the other hand could sometimes not be only applicable on gambling addict but could be utilize by normal gamblers who just want to use one stone to kill two birds, so it normally happens when must gamblers sees an opportunity they feel they can easily win the bet so they tend to put in everything they have at that moment so that if the bet is successful they become rich and at the send they lose there money but however the little difference between greediness and addict is that greediness is controllable while addict is not controllable which makes it more terrible than greediness.

Both of them are elements of setback. Both work hand in hand to achieve their Target. Most expecially greediness is the driving force that Leed to people getting addicted. If someone is not greedy, he will not chase after loses due to his pride and ego. But addiction usually comes when people failed to understand the difference between regular gambling and gambling occasionally. Lack of emotional control and having High hopes of winning always Leed to greed which makes a person addicted. And also addiction is derived from greediness.

You are really funny, don't you know that you can't be addicted without being greedy. Greediness Leeds to addiction. And whenever people call you addicted person, you should know that people has already concluded you to be greed.

I think one leads to the other and though it might be the root cause, it doesn’t necessarily mean that, it is the worst and am speaking in terms of greed.

Greed isn’t any good attribute for anyone to let himself or herself be affected by, greed is that thing within you that doesn’t even allows you to recognize your wins. It pushes you to go for more and that often leads to doom. Now, it’s understandable that, greed could be the cause of addiction in the sense that, it keeps you closer to the game, every time you play, win or loss, you take a step closer, increasing your stakes, spending more and more time at the game and suddenly, you find yourself not being able to draw the lines for a limit.

Addiction however is more associated with a lack of control, an uncontrollable desire to gamble by all means and with what you don’t even have. That’s more terrible, it pushes you to take uncalculated risk which could obviously prove to be your doom.

While both might lead to the same fate, addiction is considerable a more dangerous habit to cultivate.

That's true most time gambling addiction do start through greed sometimes. Expecially when one just want to hit the jackpot really fast , so he or she will start gambling without knowing when to call it a day , no matter the win or loss they encounter doing so . We all know that in gambling this two (greed, addiction) don't normally bring anything good always endup affecting that individual negatively.


Yeah they hardly follow the principles of gambling with only what you can afford to lose . Not just using your hard earn money anyhow in the name of wanting to hit a huge jackpot, the best is to take gambling as something that's fun , than something that's meant to get them rich fast.

I think that this is still happening to other gamblers, and it is sad  that discipline is not applied to gambling. In fact, self-discipline is not difficult to do; it's just that because of greed and addiction, they don't do it, so the result is no wonder they lose in the end.

I hope other gamblers see this so they don't have to go through the same bad experiences as others, so I really agree with what you are saying.

Gambling is a game that is full of risks, apart from being detrimental it can also damage your common sense which ultimately makes you greedy due to addiction. These two things are both bad and usually go hand in hand, if you become addicted it means there is greed and vice versa. Viewing gambling as a source of income or employment so that the addiction cannot be eliminated can lead to greed. The result will be suffering for yourself.

So if you ask, which greed and addiction will be a disaster? the answer is that both will lead you to disaster. It is important to control your emotions when gambling so that things like this can be avoided. If there are any signs that you are headed there, then you need to advise yourself. Because a responsible gambler is someone who can advise himself to gamble within his limits and not force himself on something he cannot control.

Everything must start from the mind, or meaning the various actions that a person will carry out at the behest of his own mind, and that is why there are some people who make mistakes, especially when they don't know what they are actually doing, and this is why I say that the first thing that must first be correct is our understanding, because by having a correct understanding, it is likely that our brain and mind will also direct ourselves to various actions that are in accordance with our abilities and by avoiding various decisions that are not wise. .

Regarding positive thinking or whatever, the point in my opinion is to understand how gambling actually is and limit all your decisions as well as limit your hopes for winning, remember that victory can only come when we are lucky, and positive thinking is not something that can guarantee luck.

Positive thinking can help.

But not at all times it is going to be. And that is when you are too optimistic and it's over that the time comes that you are still positive to recover your losses.

That's greed and addiction, a combination.

And it all comes to what you've said that we have to put limitations. Without such, you'll do the same thing, the same error, the same problem and will get the same results.

I support this and I will add that we should always try to look back on every game, the reason and essence why we stake on that game and what was our aim, we also need to check our funds in order not to use an important money for gambling out of excitement and will now be under pressure trying to get the money when we lose it .

Gambling addiction collocate to greed though it should be noted one can be greedy and not addicted to gambling and vice versa since some people became addicted to gambling unknowingly simply because they're trying to get what they lost from a casino/gambling and then lost.

I have also the same answer, both are disastrous.

Greed and addiction leads to both ugly results and that's why if you're going to compare it, there's no difference with these two and one gambler having any of it will still have a bad ending with whatever bet they would do.

With control of emotion, you might able to see things very easy as you know yourself better if you're still in the right mind and you can feel that you're greedy to avoid being addicted.

Even not with greediness but with wrong decisions, you can still end up disastrously with how you do your gambling sessions.

One of them is no less dangerous than the other, and if greed can be considered a main reason for falling prey to addiction (psychological illness), then addiction is the fulfillment of psychological needs and has nothing to do with greed in the main. Psychology believes that gambling addiction is one of the most specific types of addictive diseases due to the complexities that accompany case studies, diagnosing symptoms, and anticipating possible treatment methods. Therefore, it does not believe that greed is the main motivator for intense gambling that leads to addiction if it continues over a period of time. long. At the same time, greed is considered one of the natural characteristics of people, the amount of which varies from one person to another according to his cultural composition and surrounding circumstances.

Yes that's a good addition which is another thing that we should also pay attention to is to find reasons about why we choose the game and what are the goals of playing there, but overall still wherever you play and whatever type of game you play in the end still don't put the intention and purpose of getting a win, or what it means is not to be too excessive in expecting a win and it's better to focus on various precautions to minimize the possibility of significant risks, such as making sure not to use the budget for other more important needs in our lives.

Of course addiction is something that always involves greed in it and I think those two things can never be separated if we talk about gambling, and as we know that a gambler who has entered the addiction phase always acts excessively especially when winning such as continuing the session to get a bigger amount and obviously that is greed.

Well I can’t really tell the one that is more more handful because I don’t like any of the both, they are both dangerous and cost you a lot because you will just end up on losing a lot and I won’t concentrate on what is needed to be done, but I feel like greediness is more dangerous because you can end up on losing more than you think on gambling because you want to gamble with a big amount that you won’t be able to forget if you lost it, and you would want to do more and gain more, but sometimes I think that addiction and greediness works together

Greed is bad and addiction is bad, there is no need to even compare the two together, they are both bad for gambler. As a gambler, if you have too much greed in you, there is nothing you might get from gambling because even with simple gains, you will want to apply greed which can obviously make you lose everything and as too much greed makes you lose money, you might be tempted to make back your losses because of that greed and you might be addicted in the process.

If you must gamble, do it moderately, don't be overwhelmed with greed and give limit to how you gamble and when to gamble, limiting things in life helps you a lot, this not just about gambling alone, it's a principle about life and it good practice for every gambler that want to go far in gambling, reduce greed and don't become emotional about it.

Greediness at least can produce some positive outcomes, as a person that is greedy will try to find the most efficient ways to do anything so they can increase their profits, which in return makes society more efficient as well, however I have yet to see a single good outcome coming out from an addiction, and even if a person learned a lot after going through a period of addiction, those are lessons they could have learned anyway and without having to suffer as much as they did when they were addicted.

Greed and addiction are one of the problems that major gamblers have been facing and there is always need to be relinquished. Those we are addicted to gambling has a problem of not been disciplined because of there is discipline the addiction may never comes. Greed is the worse and might not have a remedy if we mist have been addicted to been greedy as a gambler. We can make money but lose it as a result of greed that would have penetrated our mindset. Greedy could lead to an addiction vise versa but the worse to think it is greed and we just have to be careful about it because it has made so many gambler go bankruptcy.

You reach a very appropriate turning point, and that is when you say the word “Discipline”, this word carries a lot of weight, because I personally have always been someone who has maintained some sports disciplines, soccer, hapkido, boxing, have been my sports, of course swimming too, but that was when I was more of a teenager, however that discipline that one has in those sports can be passed on to the financial part, in the financial and money management, if we have the discipline to control our money to play in a casino, we will never fall into addiction or any vice, because we have everything controlled under our discipline.

Greed is something that can happen to anyone and it can be more controlled since its just a decision and would only implicate you once, but addiction on the other hand can be continuous and has more potential to actually destroy a person more than greed cause addiction can cause you to spend a whole fortune on your addiction and greed can't unless your stupid.

Gambling addiction is the bye product of greediness. You want more money in what had no guarantee of giving you such funds. Laziness too is inclusive in the cause of addiction, you choose the easy life of making a career out of gambling by predicting outcomes instead of getting a proper skill that promises a return on  investments made on yourself.

Many people get addicted too after they're had their first wins. They greedily chase more wins in the same fashion thinking its their right to claim wins over the casino. Of course they get disappointed when the deep lake casino drowns their funds.

Greediness and addiction are a result of not gambling in moderation, if you must gamble, then you must be disciplined. Discipline saves is a lot from greediness and possible addiction that results from it.

 Actually, addiction is different from greediness, but what you will consider is which of them you can get rid of quickly. I can say you can easily leave addiction, but you can’t leave greediness, and at some other point, you can say that sometimes greediness is useful but not in all cases, but if we are to consider deeply, I will think greediness is also very dangerous.
 
Because greediness is something that you can hardly leave because it deals with your mind set and emotions, and when things deal with that, you can’t even have any therapy on it because, no matter what the therapist says, he will never know how to work with your mind set. That is why I think greediness is more dangerous than addiction because in addiction you can even have a chance of leaving due to therapy, poverty, or even family influence because it is cureable. 

Both are dangerous things that can lead a gambler to various possible bad impacts, meaning that somehow we must prevent this from happening, in whatever way you can and what you think makes sense to do. And I would also say that addiction and greed are two things that usually go hand in hand, where the scenario is that when a gambler comes with the intention of earning then of course they will continue to pursue winnings in gambling with high hopes and confidence because they are addicted to previous wins. which they managed to get.

Or what it means is that initially they experience an increased interest in winning and it is an addiction and after that when they succeed in winning a certain amount then in the end there is nothing else they will do other than applying greed with high confidence and hope to get a greater amount of winnings. big, and what they don't know is that defeat will always be something that is certain to happen at any time, where usually greed will again lead someone to loss and regret.

Don't stay along without having good time to execute goals from the system. Experience have taught us alot more and we become volatile and vulnerable if we allow our past to haunt us, rather we fight and present ourselves to the new day and results. Gambling doesn't inculcate discipline in the minds of gamblers, there's a whole lot happening in the space and we should be careful when dealing with the space.

The truth is none of them is good I mean the both are bad. when we say greed, it is relative that is to say that it can be that one is always greed when it comes to cashing out games or playing with little money to win huge amount and that one you said while addiction is just addiction, that's always in gamble whether win or loss and if you  don't have you will borrow and some people go to an extent of stealing to gamble that's how bad addict can be however, I may not know your reasons why you said you prefer addiction to greed but whatever the reason may be I think it's not true I mean it's not correct sorry if you see it as a rude response but addict is more disastrous than greed.

Greed is not just about making decisions but the pleasure to decieve and cheat at the same time. Greed can easily lead to continuous losses if we don't try as much as possible for us to fix things to help ourselves if in case one is able to detect that they have such kind of behavior. This can be a very difficult decision but it is important we try to resolve and ignore such spirit of feelings since it has more consequences compared to addiction. I think addiction can still be controlled compared to greed that could even make the person to feel like everyone does not like them because of their characters. The effects of greed is worse than mere addiction.

Whether gambling instigate discipline to gamblers is a personal problem. A majority of gamblers for sure are truly not learning discipline in gambling, due to their individual gambling motives. Players who face losses in gambling actually undergo phases of personal encounters regarding their mode of thinking. In a way, high number of responsible players actually learn few or more disciplines. Out of the people who don't follow up nice gambling habits, a few of them were not educated of gambling. However, greediness leads to addiction. There are cohorts and nothing would separate a greedy player from gambling addiction.

You are right, we should offer help to people who are addict or find it hard for them to quit gambling even when they tried so hard to stop.

That is why it's good and advisable for people to gamble responsibly because it can cause a lot of disastrous things in their lives such depression, frustration and can even affect their mental health if care is not taken. So let's try and gamble on what we can afford to lose and stop when we know we are not winning again.

It is more easier to talk someone out of addiction when they are just beginning to experience some of the symptoms, than when they are already addicted. Yeah most persons wouldn't want to receive any advice from any person because they might think they are doing just fine, or they might be too proud to admit that they can make mistakes along the way. Gambling has a way of destroying your mental health if you fall into addiction and at that stage, the addited gambler might become more arrogant, not wanting to take advice or admit that what they are doing is actually wrong. Separating greediness from addiction sounds a bit off, as they both work hand in hand. All addicted gamblers are greedy, and that's the major read n they are addicted.

It’s always difficult to advise addicted gamblers to stop gambling, most of them will never listen, and after talking to some of them, they will still end up going back to gambling. Some will start arguments that they are not addicted to gambling, and no matter what you tell them, they will deny their addiction. The only time I do advise an addicted gambler is when the person admits about his addiction and the person is really ready to stop gambling and can’t do it on his own. Then I will be able to guide and support the person in some ways that I can.

Well,I think the more disastrous one here is addiction.If someone is greedy,it only means he wants more,but if he doesn't have the means to get it,he will forget it,but in addiction,there is nothing you can do about it, because addiction goes straight to stay in your blood and becomes your behavior.Once you are addicted to something,whether it's good or bad,you will always want to be doing that particular thing ,and you will find it difficult to stop,and then it turns to be your behavior.Imagine someone having a gambling behavior,that means he cannot survive without it,so even if addiction and greed work hand in hand,I still prefer greed to addiction.

Exactly addiction not something one can easily stop , most gambler downfall was due to addiction because some gamblers can't stay without gambling, and in gambling either one win or lose , and most time the chances of losing is higher expecially as an irresponsible gambler. And most addicted gambler are usually irresponsible gamblers. So yeah I think addiction is more disastrous than greed but still both are bad when it comes to gambling

Addiction and greediness walk side by side, but if we have to say which one is the most harmful, I would say it's addiction, because it implies a more compulsive and disastrous behavior from the individual, what means he acts without thinking rationally, logically and thinking on the consequences of his acts. Greediness solely, on the other hand, might mean the individual is avid for profits and wealth in an extreme manner, although it doesn't imply he acts compulsively for that reason.

Actually, he may act rationally and logically in order to achieve his greedy goals, being a successful businessman, entrepreneur, investor and so on... Greediness doesn't necessarily prejudice someone's skill to make money, while addiction does.

I would also go with addiction as the more disastrous one. Because most addicted gamblers won't stop even if they have no more funds to spare in their gambling activities. So they resort to taking loans and other worst scenarios such as stealing. Whereas, with greediness, the gambler may still have the awareness of stopping his habit. Sometimes he just wants to continue his games despite of winnings.

Greed is a trait and addiction is a cycle, meaning that in this case I cannot separate greed from addiction, because greed is something that can trigger addiction, meaning that these two things will go hand in hand where greed is the initial trigger, And if we talk about addiction then yes of course that is a bad cycle or zone that can cause a variety of much worse impacts that we never thought before, these significant impacts occur as a result of a gambler who makes various actions and decisions that are really aggressive, one of which is like what you said that they are even desperate to justify all means just so they can get involved in gambling.

Whatever they will do, especially borrowing money from anyone with various reasons based on lies so that others believe and give loans that they can even do other worse things like what you said, namely stealing or robbing or cheating others. And as I said above that greed is still a trait that humans have and what is called a trait is a habit that they often do, meaning that although awareness is still a possible thing to achieve but I think it is very unlikely when it has become a habit.

Greediness is more bad than any other type of addition because when you are greedy you will lose more but when you are addicted to it, you can sell your valuable when you are greeting because you want to make the whole money that is not how it's supposed to be so the only thing, immediately you start being greedy greetings can turn you to a poor man and you will lose more than what you can even afford to my even cause your life that is  why is not good to be a greedy gambler because the amount you are gambling with is unfair to your income

Greediness can leads to addictions and the two are not good to have as a gambler, because one bad thing will always lead to another and we have to make sure we take care of how we are gambling in other for us not to portray a different image other than the one we intended to have with gambling, one bad thing leads to another and so on, before we then realized, it has turned into a big challenge for us to cope with from how we gambles.

I think they intertwined with one another because gambling addiction can be caused by greediness. And greediness can be caused by gambling addiction. It's like vice versa in a way that one wouldn't exist without the other. It's mostly about how you are going to be more into if it you let it. They are equally disastrous to me because it can start both ways.

Maybe a question of what can cause eviler? Or something to that extent.

By gambling greedily, it will be very unlikely that they will be able to win from the bets they play, because they will always hope to get a bigger win even though they have succeeded in getting a win from the bets they played and only realize it after they have lost everything. winning funds that they have obtained and for some people who have experienced addiction, of course this is because they are too greedy in gambling so they become addicted to gambling and both of these things destroy a person both in their financial condition and also in their life.

I think they are interchangeably since it’s impossible for gambling addicted person to reach the addicted level without being greedy since greediness is the driving factor of addiction.

I think it’s more on a phase which start from greediness that turns into addiction. You will never become addicted to something without being greedy.

But the lesser evil will be greediness since this can be for short term only that go on after rhe game while addiction is continuous problem even after the game.

The worst of all addiction is the one that the gambler does not know that he is addicted and when you are telling him, he does not ac ept with you that he is addicted. This kind of gambler will not be able to free himself from addiction, because he does not care to reflect on his gambling life if he is doing it the right way or not.

If a gambler knows that he is addicted and accept it, he will be able to overcome his addiction at his own will. Greed is a vice that leads to addiction and if you bring your greedy nature into gambling, before you will know it, you will be addicted. It is better that you control your greed before it will lead you to addiction.

Yes, indeed the two are connected, I often see when someone is addicted to gambling and he continues to gamble every day just to recover his losses which he may have lost quite a lot so he has to get them back, but I have seen him win the jackpot and win big it seems that was more than enough to return the money he had lost and could recover everything, but what I saw next, he actually continued playing and told me that it was his lucky day and he was sure he could win even bigger.

This greed also made his addiction worse, in the end he lost again and all his winnings were gone, he went to borrow money from everyone but no one lent it, since then he became increasingly out of control doing anything to get money and finance his gambling. , he was even willing to wash other people's vehicles just to get a little money so he could gamble, his family also didn't care what happened to him, this will be an important lesson for me too that gambling should never be the pursuit of things that we don't need to pursue in gambling. just play and enjoy.

I am sure that most gamblers will not know that they are actually addicted to gambling. The initial indication is how often you gamble. and this could lead to financial disruption due to increasingly high levels of gambling activity.
maybe the way they realize it is to experience the worst incident of gambling that gamblers do and it takes a hit to fix everything. any form of addiction always has a negative impact. and to completely get rid of gambling addiction is very difficult, even though it can be done.

greed and addiction, I think they are all part of gambling. neither is particularly bad, but gamblers may not realize they are doing both.

In my opinion, both will always have a bad impact on every gambler, if someone has won in a gambling game, of course instinct or greed will always appear in that person, always wanting bigger profits than before. Indeed, the two go hand in hand and cannot be separated in gambling games. In my opinion, the main thing in this case that brings disaster is greed. This greedy nature can make someone very addicted to playing, which can make that person spend much more money than before.

Addiction is particularly bad, as people keep doing something that they know is having a harmful effect over their lives and instead of stopping, they keep doing it, this is not only bad for them but very discouraging too, as those people may feel they no longer hold any control over their lives and it may make them think that beating their addiction is impossible, a mistake, as even if overcoming an addiction is difficult, it is possible if a person tries to do it with everything they have.

Let's go for both so we will encourage gamblers not to become both types of gamblers because both of them are harmful.
Addiction tends to have more immediate and severe consequences while greediness can lead to systemic issues that affect us along the process over time.

If applied here to a gambler I would say both seriously harm a gambler. Especially when a gambler gets himself addicted to gambling, he spends the important time of his life in gambling.
But if addiction is present in a gambler and it is later coupled with greed then the matter becomes more serious. A greedy gambler is the most dangerous because when he tries to stop himself from gambling, invisible greed will not let him stop gambling. So I can say in my opinion that greed causes more harm to a gambler than addiction, it would be wrong to say only for a gambler it causes serious harm to all people.

Yeah you're definitely right by saying that both could be very harmful to a gambler but I'll say greed could lead to addiction whereby one loses out of greed and begin to chase lose, sometimes the lose could make such person desist from the act of greediness in gambling but most addicted gamblers are already wasted and sometimes it's very difficult to talk them out of it except with  constant therapy, we all know the dangerous effects of gambling and how it's ruined the lives of many, making them deviate from other important things in life and spending all their quality time gambling whether they lose more than they make profits, so if you ask me I think gambling addiction is more dangerous than being greedy in gambling, with reasons that a gambler could stop greed due to constant lose from it but it's very difficult to talk an addicted gambler out of addiction.

You hit the nail by the head because there is no basis for comparing greed and gambling addiction. Greed is just a one part of gambling addiction, the most significant one. I think greed is like the driving force for gambling addiction because if you remove great from a gambler, the zeal to persist in gambling after a loss will not be there. Although, some gambling addicts just derive joy gambling even though they are not winning, it has become a sort of hobby, something without which they feel incomplete. At this point, it begins to appear like it has no business with greed but on a broader note, it does have everything to do with greed.

Both, greediness and  addiction, are the hard parts of gambling. Time spent at casinos has a power to turn you around the circle, making the generous man to be stingy and addicted  one. I say this because it is what exactly happened with the friend of mine who, being a  talented gambler,  finally ended as a crook.

Both are connected to each other.

Let's say a person is a greedy one, if he wins, he will continue to gamble and as he spends more time gambling, the higher the chances for him to get addicted into it. Being greedy will lead to the gambler getting addicted into it. A greedy person will always, and always gamble even he wins a huge amount already. A greedy person will always have a higher chance of getting addicted. Which one is more disastrous? None because both of them are disastrous. No one is what others called "a lesser evil" to both of them because at the end of the day, both of them will lead to huge losses to the gambler.

If you're greedy, it will lead you to huge losses at some point. If you're addicted, there will be a time that you will be losing a huge amount of money because you're spending too much time gambling, and luck isn't always on your side as always.

It is clear harm for a gambler if they becomes greediness or addiction to gambling because they only lose their money and don't have a big chance to wins. Those people who becomes addiction will spends much time to playing gambling but they don't see how much money they use and lose in gambling.
They feels that they getting close with their wins but that is not right because when they becomes addiction, wins or lose is not important for them. They only wants to playing gambling more and more without thinks about the money they use.
Maybe we already feels that before so when we realizes about that, we must trying to reduce our gambling no matters if that is hard for us. We must stay away from greediness and addiction so we can enjoy playing gambling as an entertainment and not for trying to wins.

Greed and addiction is really that connected to each other on which simply means that on the moment that you do find yourself having such emotions on the moment that you do play then it would really be always considered to be that a negative thing and  this is something that you should really be avoiding in the first place on where you would really be needing up for you to have that kind of approach when it comes to gambling which is really just that for the sake of fun. You cant really just that make yourself having that kind of delusional approach towards gambling because once that addiction would really be that happened into us then we would really be having a hard time on getting out or simply trying out to quit. This is why you should really be that sensible on the actions and decisions you are making
and dont make yourself that being too hopeful to make yourself a winner all the time.
