Why is gambling so addicting?

[Shinpako09]

Gambling is just so addicting because its very fun to do and you can do it a lot with not a lot of money.
Its just so enjoying and you can do it for many hours.

For others its only for fun but in reality most of the gamblers gets addicted its not only because of fun its because of thinking that they will win big.

They usually win on the first time of playing and since then, they will start to believe that winning is possible and of course they will keep trying to win cause it is a sense of achievement.

one can also be addicted to gambling if the person decided to keep on playing even though the chances are low in winning thinking that one way or the other along the way he or she will have a lucky chance to hit a big win.  It is not about loosing or winning that makes an addictive gambler keep on playing.  It is about the price upon winning.  That huge amount is a chance of a life time to hit.  So it doesn't matter how much the person will loose as long as the person always thinks that if he/she will ever win the loses are just nothing compared to winning a big price.  That's why they always try their luck.

Agreed if they win at first stage then they will get more attracted and addicted to it and it will also make then over confident that they can win every time.

I guess gambling does have such properties, the same as other games. but gambling is probably the game that is challenging, so many people who returned to play even if it has been lost

one of the goals come to gamble is to suffer the loss. 

I don't see gambling is challenging but it depends upon your interpretation with it. And I do believe also that gambling will just make you
suffer for betting your money to it. Only those gambling site owners will always win there.

Yeah even gamblers already knew that they are keep on hoping that they will get some bucks on gambling or they are just looking for
the enjoyment that gambling could give to them.

These gamblers who are hoping for profit in gambling does not know the real meaning of gambling, nobody will win in the gambling in the long run so we should only consider it as an entertainment.

[Uke]

It is the thrill of winning I guess. I was addicted to gambling before but I stop it after I got married. You have no future in gambling. There is more to life than gambling.

[akamit]

I believe that addiction is not more powerful than us.
We are the most powerful creature in the world, because we have INTELLIGENT BRAIN.

At first, we should learn how to control ourselves.
I think it's enough to learn this.

If you have so much gambling addiction, then try this way.

First make a goal depends on the money you budgeted for gambling.

Lets say you promised yourself that you will bet 100K satoshi today maximum.

If I win than it will be OK
If I loss all than it will be OK too.

I won't bet more than this amount a day.

Be a promising guy.

This theory helps in all kinds of addiction.

Everyone loves to win, hates to lose and the thrill of winning keeps people coming back for "Just one more"

I agree, we keep playing because we want the thrill of gambling, that made us being addicted to it. Until such time we lost our money and we keep coming back not noticing that we are donating our money in the gambling sites.

That's why you must know your limit. Limit youself from gambling, and don't be addicted. In my opinion, it's okay to try sometimes with small amount just to have fun. But sometimes that's the sad truth, people realizes that it's too much if and only if he loses almost everything or sometimes everything he has.

Gambling addicts generally make the mistake of gambling to earn money. Also, do not play to cover your losses. There is a possibility that you may end up losing more. Once you win, stop playing for a while. Gambling back later with some money and time where you want to spend the next. Just think gambling as entertainment  and not too think to get money.

[InsideBjorn]

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

Why is it so addictive?

That's the main reason why you want to play further and further. You lose allot of money while your gambling. and thats why you keep coming back because you want your money back that isnt hard to understand so dont p[lay to often and don't play to much.

Yeah definitely. The thrill is simply why we are coming back time and time again. To get high, basically.

Also with bitcoin it is infinitely easier to access casinos and deposit in them as opposed to old fashioned real life casinos. You also want to chase your losses back time after time. That's how they make you keep wanting to come back.

Gambling is addicting because there are still a lot of people that is gambling because they think that they can earn a lot of money with it which that is actually not true.
Because it is not that easy to win some money with it because you need to be lucky with gambling and that happens not that often.

This would only work to those people who don't talk to other gamblers in the chatbox, in short, those people who have no social life. This also applies in real life. If you have nobody to socialize/talk with, then it's probably okay to go home right when you lose all your money. But if you do have a good social life in a casino or even in a gambling website, then you'll probably keep on depositing money until you get a good win and your friends praise you. Wider social life = more peer pressure. It'd be really rude if you go home when your friends are still playing. Maybe you can stay and just talk to them, but I promise you, the peer pressure would make you bet more.

gambling is addicting to those certain group of people because they are fooling themselves with this way of thinking.

it is mostly like dreaming about being rich and don't want to take even one step towards getting rich by making an effort!

[jakelyson]

Gambling is so addicting because its a way of earning money on a fast way and you want to try it till you will win something.
After you have won you want to do it again and again to earn money but this is of course not gonna happen it only will be enjoyable.

For people who thinks it's a way of earning fast money it will lead them to loosing big amount instead. If you treat it like this then you won't gonna get any profit at all, it will just make you chasing your losses. Greed is the most common causes on why many gamblers get addicted and loosing big amount money.

things we have to underline the gambling addiction is GREED. This is indeed a major problem that can cause our losses.

I find it right, being greedy is one of the reason why gambling is very addictive. Because you have the chance of winning high amount.
But the chance of losing also is high. And people who wants to get shortcut in riches will take the risk of gambling.

Yeah, greed usually gets the best of us. We see only profit from gambling but we fail to see that we can also lose a lot. If only we can see it clearly, then we will not be addicted to it. We will avoid it in the first place. The only winner in gambling is the house. And they nake gambling nore enticing so they can have more gamblers addicted to their games.
