most of the time you lose the first time and you want you're money back.
that's why gambling is so addicting no one wants to lose their money so they gamble gamble and gamble
till they think their even.
I think this is not that much correct but some people will like this. what i know means if gamblers loss there money in first bet if it is small they will play again but if they loss there bet with huge amount i am sure they will not play again because most of people will scare to play again. But who won there first bet they will never stop they will run behind profit but result is loss.

it is not about the amount or even winning first and losing second. even if they win small and lose after the addicting part will only happen if the person is susceptible to addiction.

it is some kind of a mindset that leads to addiction especially to gambling addiction, which depends on different personalities. that is why not everybody is a gambling addict despite the fact that we are all winning and losing the same way.

An important aspect of quitting gambling is to find alternate ways to handle these difficult feelings without gambling like spending more time with your friends and with your family, have a quality time.
thats a good tip say to someone who's addicted to gambling
that he just must stop it. thats the most stupid thing i ever heard..


People are just throwing words like "Just stop", "Can you please just stop gambling?". If you're in the position of the gambling addict himself, you will realize that this is really really hard to do especially if the people around you are putting pressure on you and just expects you to stop right away.

Well, guess what? It's not easy to stop gambling. Once you got addicted to gambling, it will become your lifestyle. You'll go to casino every weekend, you'll get to know a lot of gamblers.

I believe knowing and/or with other gambling addicts is one of the main factors why gambling is so addicting. I bet not all the people in casino goes there just to play but they also go there to hangout with their friends.

nothing can stop the addiction to gambling. only one who can stop that is when you have become a very rich man .

I can only guess that you have a wrong idea here. There are actually many ways to stop addiction not just being rich.
Even the rich people still gamble and it's just for fun for them. Rich people have a different perspective on money, It's very important for them. 

If money is very important to rich people, then why do they gamble? Just a thought. I don't mean it will stop.gambling addiction but I think those who got rich thru hard work and business will tend to get away from gambling. But thise who got rich thru gambling will still gamble because they are already addicted to it.

Those people who became rich because of business and hard work knows the struggle and what it takes in order to become rich. Those people who got rich thru gambling, on the other hand, just jumped their way up to the top.

You see the difference? That's why rich people don't gamble that much. It's because they know that the money they are throwing is the product of their hard work. Those people who got rich thru gambling just don't mind throwing some money because they just got it for free and easily out of gambling.

Another thing is that rich people who have done hard work are socialized and surrounded by other people who have no time to waste on things like gambling. Of course they will eventually have no time (or very little) for gambling. Those people who got rich thru gambling are surrounded by poor and rich gamblers. They will of course influence him to gamble even if he tries to stop gambling at some point.

Why is gambling addicting is in my eyes just because its enjoying and for some people profitable.
People also play it because they heard from as example a friend that he/she won and than they want to try it and get addicted because its also enjoying for a long time.

From my personal experience I have noticed the players who goes on playing after hearing from their friends end up experiencing the worst results. Actually the reason behind this is they envy their friend's progress and profit and try to imitate their strategy for quick outcome but that will definitely not work in gambling. They should try out in lower increments before jumping onto it and getting addicted to it.

Gambling is addicted and this can because of the following reasons.

1. You want to make profit and come back every time.
2. You are enjoying gambling and cannot stop doing it.
3. You are trying to win your lost money back but this is of course not working and you will do it again and again.

You can simply summarize like being over ambitious of making quick and easy money makes people to be sticking with gambling always. All over-doing are becoming habitual addiction over time. Gambling is no exception for this.

Gambling is just bad for some people because they are already easily addicted and for some people its just the game that makes them addicted.
Most of the times its the enjoyment!

I have to say this gambling is purely for entertainment, this are designed for the people who can afford to gamble, there is that thing call responsible gambling so if you try to gamble but if you are not fit enough both physical and emotional never try gambling because it will only bring bad results into your life.

Ironically though, most gamblers are poor and are trying their luck on gambling. They want to get rich fast by earning from gambling. And yes, don't gamble if you aren't emotionally ready. Some people might leave you just because you've become addicted in gambling. Families even become broken because of a member putting the money of their family at risk and losing it all.

One of the best comments I have read on this thread. Completely agree with every point.

There are a lot of people that is addicted to gambling and the reason is because they all like it to do because we also see it as a game and that is quite nice for the currency.
But it can be bad for you if you are lose some money with it because you can even be poor of it so you have to control yourself and know that it is all wasted money.

I don't know why but I always get a feeling to gamble, after then losing my money, I quit for some time and then continue, but I know I will lose my btc Sad

Why is it so addictive?
It is so addictive because you don't want to lose your money you always want more or just want your
money back what you've invest in it. that's why you keep continuing that bad habbit.

Gambling is addicted and this can because of the following reasons.

1. You want to make profit and come back every time.
2. You are enjoying gambling and cannot stop doing it.
3. You are trying to win your lost money back but this is of course not working and you will do it again and again.

I agree with all the reasons that you have said. It is hard to do the number 3. That feeling we all know it.
How you want to get back the money you lost for gambling.
The more you want to get it back to more chance of losing big bucks.

I suppose one of the main reasons is the illusion of getting rich quick and when you do win you think next time if I put in a little bit more then you will win more.  It is an addiction that is hard to kick for sure.
People think that if they have won one time that they are going to win again. So they think that if they continue to play that one day they will win the jackpot. But this is just not how it works but these people keep believing in that small chance.
