Greediness or Addiction -which one is more disastrous?

[HelliumZ]

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.

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.

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.

Re: Greediness or Addiction -which one is more disastrous?

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.
