It's a human nature and that's why everyone gets addicted to gambling. And I think most of the gamblers that are being addicted easily are the newbie ones. Also when we started to gamble we usually think that there's no more tomorrow so we don't intend to waste our times to try to gamble again in so many ways.

Addiction to gamble doesnt mean that you are still young or atleast new to the gambling scene. There are alot of people that have been addicted for years and still play. They keep playing because they got various reason however in the end what makes them keep playing is because they could get money from it.

I'm talking about those people who are becoming addicted easily to gambling. And base on my experience, when I was still new to gambling, the excitement was intense and that made me excited all the time. So, that made me addicted easily because I experienced to win good amount for consecutive weeks.

If you earned little profit in the gambling you will get attracted to invest more amount in btc gambling like some games are addicted to the people. However, be in your limits. If you loose the money continuously you can stop and invest on another platform as well.
Yes it's the cycle of addiction. You will benefit on it for the first time and that will make you more believe that you can have the same result when you gamble again. But the same mistake is happening, not all the time we do experience a lot of wins. And when you came to that point, you will try to recover your losses and will certainly become addicted.

If you tell that to a gambling addict they probably will agree with you. Though they'll also admit that even if they know there's something wrong, they're almost powerless to do something about it. It's become a need for them and at worst, something that they rely on for their sanity. People like us who don't feel the same would have a hard time understanding the reason behind this

Even you will tell it to the addicted gamblers then will have hard time to understand it. And instead of stopping and realizing they are totally addict in gambling. That's also a thing in gambling, when you started to become addicted, it will make you more addicted and you will be tied up to it. That leads to main reason why everyone can't get out of it.
That's because they are so dependent on gambling that they forgot who they are and they are probably out of their minds because all they think about is the chance of winning the jackpot, and that's not going to work.

You said it. Once you are addicted to a certain thing like gambling, drugs, alcohol, and the like - you seem to feel that what you are doing is just a normal thing. That is why you will be having a hard time going out of that addiction because you feel that everything is still good. So you keep on gambling even though you also keep on losing.
in fact the addicted people always convince themselves that what they are going are good and nothing wrong in it and therefore they never like to hear any advice from any person and continue what they want to do.

The addiction is not curable if they dont understand that they are addicted and keep on doing it just to satify their ego. They think they are not addicts but they may already be in debt and are having a bad time but their minds will crave to gamble more and more. Maybe their target dream of being a millionaire will never happen because their luck may never come back but it has become their habit which is why they may never stop gambling.

All addicted gamblers are starting from being a normal or ordinary gambler. But if your reason for what makes you coming back is for having fun, it's also a normal reason of the addict gamblers. I'm not saying that you are an addicted gambler but you have a similar reason to them.
I came back because of the happiness that the gambling gives me, it is a kind of addiction that i can reject because it runs to my blood and everytime i gamled i feel so happy and contended thats why i keep on coming back and give extra time or spare time in playing gamble everyday because it is my hobby my daily routine.

We do have our own way of being happy and you found it with gambling. It's good for you as long as you are enjoying but you should know the advantages and disadvantages for coming back in gambling. And if you think that you are born to be gambler just know your responsibility as a gambler.

One can resort to gambling when they have lost all other sources of having fun but has a huge stash of money to waste. If you dont have any other good use to that money you can waste it by donating it to someone - in this case you are inadvertently donating the casino owners.

If you gamble make sure you do it in a responsible way and not keep of wasting money on it. If you keep coming back possibly you are an addict already and need to mend your ways.

I am just an ordinary player in the gambling sites. Which means I am not an addict gambler, I think the  only reason why I keep coming back
is I just wanted to make a relaxation and have fun for the meantime.

All addicted gamblers are starting from being a normal or ordinary gambler. But if your reason for what makes you coming back is for having fun, it's also a normal reason of the addict gamblers. I'm not saying that you are an addicted gambler but you have a similar reason to them.
yeah some people who get addicted start to gamble at the first time for the sake of entertainment only. but then without you realized it's getting excited and make you hooked to gamble more often and not surprising in the end you would get addicted just other people before you. gambling are dangerous , it could make poor people become poorer and so on.
I think its for dump gamblers because for smart people who gamble in gambling they know what will be the result in the end.
They are just gamble fun and i think its impossible they will be addicted because they know what actually the purpose of gambling..  unlike dumb gamblers they are thinking that they are having fun but the fact they are addicted that can stay longer time in gambling. .

It is not because they are dumb but easy and quick money makes many people try their luck again and again even though they lose money in gambling. If they lose they will start gambling to recover that lost money but if they win then want more profit so it will continue until either they realise that gambling is only for fun not for making money or until they lose all their money. Whoever aim for easy and quick money from gambling mostly end up in addicting to these games.

Most of the times the players come to a casino with hopes of having some fun and making some money in the process as well. They have some luck and win some money. But then they dont realize that the casino actually milked out more money than what they won. So they return the next day and cycle continues. This is what makes people comeback everyday - chasing their losses. Its important to psychologically break this cycle, accept your losses and stop gambling.

First of all gambling is not a investment (leaving out bankroll investments). Gambling is simply a mode of playing with your money the outcome of which depends on luck. So you got everything to lose if your luck dont go with you. People get addicted to it because they are shown the possible millionaire dreams that they have by winning jackpots. They want to become rich easily and quickly.

Gambling can sure be profitable in the long run. Profit always accompanies the lucky people, so in the long run the one who has the willingness to learn and make new strategies will make a bigger and better profit. Hope to make a lucky day in the long run.

Gambling is not about strategy to win, in EV- games every strategy is a fail and you cant ever beat the house - because the odds are against you. In EV+ games the picture is a bit different because you skills and knowledge come into play and you might gain an edge over the other players. Though luck is always important which is why strategies always fail in EV- games.
Then people should know first wheter the game they played is EV+ or not right?
And you might could expect to get profit even in the long run.
But honestly for me personally there's no big difference no matter it is EV- or EV+ when it comes to gambling , you won't able to get profit.

Of course if a person thinks they can win an EV- game by just bashing at the betting table they are soon to go broke because the odds are always against them. The one who are professional gamblers never play the EV- games. In EV+ games people can make earning by playing PvP games like poker and not against the house. While the house keeps a certain percentage of fees you can win a as long your having edge over your opponent.

No, I’m not addicted in gambling. I used to gambling just for entertainment with my friends. I didn’t spend lot of money just to gamble because I know in myself that I’m not good in it. But some people get addicted to gamble, I guess that they good in it that was one of the reason why they continue to play even they lose their profit. 
Is that what you call group entertainment, i would rather play outdoor sport with friends or multi player games with friends rather than gamble my money with it,i really do not feel the fun doing so because everything is static in these online sites and i do not understand how to have fun with these sites.

Exactly, how can you wasted tour money for fun, I don't see the logic in it but people are doing it. I'm better off donating to charity or playing physical games outside with friends and that will be more entertaining than loosing my bitcoins.

This is true but not everyone gets the point or are too stubborn to accept it. It is fully known that gambling is a mode of losing money than winning it. Actually it only provides the players with a mode of entertainment while the lost money is taken as a price to pay for it. People who are addicted to gambling will not accept this fact and argue that gambling is profitable and they make huge profits off it just to satisfy their ego.
9247  Other / Archival / Re: Do you think that you're addicted to gambling? on: June 19, 2017, 02:43:04 PM
I only bet about twice a month, $50 each month so i don't think i'm addicted to gambling. I do know some people who addicted to gambling. I always remind myself that i will become like them if i lose control. Smiley

Well addiction gets more intense than betting twice in a month. It means you have a lot of control and are able to regulate the number of times you bet so you're very well organized and perfect for a gambler.
Good control of self can make us have resistance to addiction. Because addiction starts from someone who can not control themselves.

That's a good way not to lose everything. Setting a limit will give you control on your game and if you reach your losing limit then it's time to stop because it's hard to regain what is loss.

It tough for them to keep a discreet limit because addicted gamblers tend to forget about the limits while playing and in the heat of the game they lose track of their balance as well. Then when they realize that they are in debt they try to gamble more and more chasing losses and gaining more negative profit. If you have proper self control then this would not happen and you would be able to control it.

Gambling is not for a long term profit.Gambling is a game its either you can win or lose.But if you're a wise player dont play your capital,play your profit and save and keep it so that you will not be a loser.But if you invest your money in a big time gambling like casino your profit is gaining but if it is just a small time gambling its not for long term.

It is, but only for those who are lucky in gambling who are always winning, but if you know that you are not like this, then better to stay away from gambling, because instead of earning money, you are just going to lose your money, going to be addicted on it and so on. The only reason why gambling is profitable for someone is because he is always winning and just winning.

Majority of gamblers will lose more than they win -  that is really the hard truth and reality because it was already calculated by the house edge advantage. We should only play for fun and entertainment with the money we can afford to lose.

The reason why the casino business is a flourishing and a profitable one is this reason. People who once get into gambling cant leave it easily. If you stry to abstain then you feel that you wasted some money and you try to make it back. In the long run it only leads to loss of all your balance. That is how the business is run. Milking out the money slowly but steadily in EV- games.

Gambling is basically a game which is totally depends on luck, sometimes it brings good luck and sometimes it's not. In my opinion, there is no short cut way to become rich but many of us are waiting for good luck and day by day they are getting addicted to gambling in this way.

Not all gambling depends on luck. Luck is the only factor in EV- games but in EV+ games you can apply your skills and earn money from them. In poker and other PvP games if you can outsmart your opponent you can win. It is not that luck is not needed, but the luck factor is lower in these gambling games. If you talk about the casino games they are EV- and have a house edge, or in other words odds against you.
9250  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What keeps you coming back??? on: June 19, 2017, 02:34:02 PM
The need of money is what is keeping me to come back to those sites. Especially when the price is going high. I don't have to worry about the price because I only get my gambling money from signature campaigns. I can win good amounts even the odds are low because the equivalent in my fiat is high.

I understand your point but honestly gambling is more associated with big losses than wins and the odds are, of course against you, otherwise the casino would not survive. Then again one does not have to stick to gambling to earn money. You can play the EV+ games and sports betting which are more profitable. Then also you can try bitcoin vs fiat trading which is much better than gambling in my opinion.
if you can read the chart and can predict what would be the possible movement this binary pairing would be a better gamble to try but if you don't have any idea about this type of game better to stay out and play with sports game where you can combined your knowledge and you capability to do your homework before placing a bet.

Binary pairing and such stuff are no better than gambling on an EV- dice game. Its no different than that. Yes it is true that one must venture into the realms of where they are capable of applying their skills and that exactly what I meant in my post. The fact that EV- gambling needs no skills but just pure luck is known. That is why skill hungry games like poker and sports betting or even trading bitcoin is better.

Gambling is so addicting, but this​ has got a strong reason for one to be addicted. In my view very few consider it an entertainment Source whereas the majority consider it an easy earning source without much work done. This is the cause for addiction.

That is not the sole cause of addiction - rather it drives the addiction. The temptation of getting rich quickly and the misleading ads of the casinos is what makes them addicted. It is because the players lose a lot and try to recover their losses again is why they get addicted. Even if they dont want to play they are compelled to play since they keep losing a lot and dont want to return home with a net loss.

yes , it seems im addicted on gambling everytime i tryiong to stop , there always something that make me goes to gambling again , probably i have to much greed or whatever i just cant stop , i guess i need a little help with this , dunno if i can find a way to avoid gambling for rest of my life

At least you are trying to stop yourself from gambling. That means you realize that it is no having any good impact on your life and only doing more harm than good. Its tough to get over the craving. Try telling it to your family and they can help you better than any rehabilitation. They can help you out with your addiction by keeping you away from it and interested in other things in life.
9255  Other / Archival / Re: Do you think that you're addicted to gambling? on: June 17, 2017, 08:09:25 AM
I don't think myself to be addicted, because I have a limitation in the amount to be spent on gambling for the entire month. So if my earnings was quite big that I have a good excess amount after fulfilling all requirements used to go out of it.

Even if you have limitation, you cant say that you are not addicted if you keep on playing. I have seen alot of people that keep saying the same thing but for me when you keep playing that means you are addicted. Dont worry , I am addicted as well and I dont feel ashamed of admitting it because it is not some bad thing

Many people dont really realize that they are addicted until its too late. But by that time they have already lost a lot and cant hold onto life anymore. They are probably in debt and cant pay it back. If one plays it everyday - its pretty much equal to addiction. Even if you do it once a week, but cant control yourself when you do it, it means the craving is there and you can get addicted.

Gambling has never been profitable for me. All the time i invested in gambling, had a loss. I dont think gambling can make a long term profit. Gambling totally depends on luck or some TIPS. i left gambling a long back. Gambling cant be profitable. Gambling should be illelegal. I lost about 0.04 btc in gambling and then decided to leave gambling. Trading has always been profitable for me. ainvesting in trading is more profitable then gambling. if you dont want to loose your money, stay away from gamblingm This is my personal view about gamblingm i dont know what others think about gambling. You can continue gambling if you think its profitable for you. Profit for gambling depends on youm If you are a pro and have some experience about gambling, you can make some profit. Gambling is a total loss for newbies.
I think it depends in the people who are playing it. Many people out there have been lucky and skilled they have been winning very much, you need to limit youself to avoid losing too much, and avoid being greedy. It is profitable if you are not greedy and  if you are limiting yourself to the amount you have been invested.

There have been people who were very lucky and won jackpots - but many of them lost that money too because they could not stop gambling and eventually lost their money. So one can consider this as a marketing method of the casino owners to get addicts to play more and more and lose everything. If you are skilled, stop gambling when you win something big and not play again, ever again. That is the only way you can bank that cash.

That's the strongest part of it's nature and the reason it's gambling, because it's very addictive and you can't leave it easily, I seen few scientific shows about gambling and apparently the reason is due to hormone coming from the brain and the like, regardless gambling = addictive.

Gambling is simply addicting and there's no question about it. And regardless of your situation in life once you started to gamble, you will become addicted on it no matter how good or bad you gamble. The entertainment and excitement it gives to the people is why gambling is addicting plus the possible money you can win.

Agree but mostly it will happen to the people that is always winning as my self I do gamble sometimes to spend sometime or kill some of my time but it keeps me losing so sort of I didn't enjoy in playing though if yoy will you will be able to be entertained and sort of coming back to play again

If one can keep gambling within limits and not go broke then it can be considered as a past-time and you need to pay for pastime - so the amount you lose may be considered as a payment fees. Then again I believe we can get entertained in other ways as well. It dangerous for a newbie to gamble because they fall in the traps of greed and the false beliefs of the casinos.
9258  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What keeps you coming back??? on: June 17, 2017, 07:58:47 AM
I keep of coming back if the site has a good reputation or the site staffs are good to handle the customers and the site has many promotion. When you have good customer service the chance of returning customer is good and if the customer service is bad. No one will ever come back to the site.

How is that even related to gambling? or even specific to gambling sites? There are general things everyone is interested in any site when they visit it not just gambling sites. The support is an important thing but the reputation of the site is important too. Then again it is your choice to gamble and the money you lose is your responsibility, so dont come back to gambling if you lose too much.
9259  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What keeps you coming back??? on: June 16, 2017, 12:03:46 PM
yeah thats the thing that i have been talking about, addiction is the reason why we kept on gambling even though we have been losing some, we have been playing gambling for so long thats why we became addicted. but it doesnt matter to us, and we enjoyed playing gambling thats why we keeps on coming back, addiction and enjoynment is one of the reasons.

If losing makes you addicted than that should be the reason for you to quit. I dont know the logic behind it but that is just so weird . Why would you keep on playing if know that you are going to lose? it is not like everyone here is a rich guy that can throw away their money with no reason or atleast to have some fun

FACT: Losing is a part of gambling.
SARCASM: If one is not willing to lose huge amounts of money then they should think not to gamble.

If you think you will make a lot of money by just rolling some dice then think again because you are in a fool's paradise. Only the casino owners and the investors are the real profitmakers off the players.
9260  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: June 16, 2017, 11:59:49 AM
Because humans are more interested in fun than work . As well as with gambling, most fun thing to do. Even when it has swallowed alot lose, our mind will continue to invite ourselves to gamble.

It's also human nature that makes us addict in gambling so even newbies can become addicted to it quickly. And the good thing is even you don't have money you can gamble with those casino's that offers free to play games or will allow you to use play money. But most of the time we are greedy which is the main reason.

Rather I think humans are more inclined to lazy ways of earning money that dont require much skills to earn than working in a job or a private business. We humans are lazy and thats why we are so inclined to technology. We are easily tempted by the greed that sets up us when we think of gambling and it is fueled by the dreams of a lavish life if we win the jackpot. Hence people dont think of casino owners who are real profit makers and only think of their winnings and get addicted.
