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.  Grin Grin Grin

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.

yup the game is design in such a way that you are always in the disadvantage so you will likely to end up losing.

Indeed they are thinking they can win a lot of money with just gambling and that is just so not true, gambling will even let you go poor.
They are trying it again and again and get addicted.
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.
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.

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!

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.
If you don't know when to stop then that is the problem, I have been to that situation many times before that I am already up big but due to my emotion that let me play and want to win more I end up losing everything.

The very addicting stage of gambling is when your group of friends are indulging in gambling and make fair play or competation to you it will make you get addicted without knowing you cannot live without it, and also other reason is at first you win big for the first time you try gambling and turn out you lose big for second time and you try to catch up your loee and lose more bigger that way you will make addicted to much because your catching to get what you lose.

I think you will be addicted more when you gamble alone than going with your friends. Being alone in gambling especially in the internet, you cannot get advise from your friends and when you are influenced by your emotions you are likely to make mistakes.

Yeah, specially if the gambler is really in need of money and wants it easy and fast and a shortcut to their success, when they were hooked in gambling, that's the only thing that they are thinking IMO, to win,  losing seems like not a big deal to them. Aside from that,I think they started with  a strong reason( failure, family problem, financial problem. etc. )  on why they keep on pushing themselves in gambling til they get addicted.

Well all of those Problems if them keep on doing gambling they will certainly all gonna realized that it is not good and if they keep on getting on the ride of the gambling they will certainly become addicted to it, losing in gambling is a big deal and if they think that it is OK then they would probably end up losing much money or worst all of it!

Gambling is addicting because it is simpel, people can play games by putting in money and they can also win more money. The fact that it is so simpel to win is enough for some people to be addicted to it.

But I feel gambling is not that much simple to underestimate to get into it. But mistaking it as simple many people are going there and loosing money there. The misunderstanding of gambling as easy source of money making must be the prime reason for addictions.

It puts enjoyment to the gamblers even they know that the winning chance is just a low percentage. Once they are already into it,
it would be hard for them to get out from that addiction.

You are right. The addiction nature of gambling is coming from people's misbehavior. If we play gambling as just entertainment, then there will not be any chances for falling into gambling addictions for sure.

Gambling is just so addicting because its looking easy to make money on a relative short time, due to this fact people are gambling and wants to try it again and again.
They cannot stop with it anymore when its getting normal for them to do this everyday... till they are poor.

If a person is getting to use on gambling and repeating it everyday then I think that he is already addicted to it and I think that he is in a point of no return situation kind of thing! and this is hard for them and harder for their family to accept the fact that they had an addicted relative!

Gambling is addicting because you also can see now that there are a lot of people that is thinking that they can earn some money with it and that is bad.
Because you need to be really lucky to win some money with gambling and that happens not that often.

Well we can not say something like that if what a real addicted person would think if he really want to just earn or just the fun of it, I think In my opinion there are many people addicted and they had tons going into their head you can really never tell if what is it right now! and yes gambling is really base on luck it is a shame if someone just say and talk to you that there is a secret in always winning in it cause there ain't such a thing!

That is greed at its finest. If you give in to greed even if you already have enough profit for the day, then you will eventually lose. It always good to check yourself against greed when you are gambling. Set a limit to win and loss, so when you reach it stop gambling. Discipline is a must if you don't want to lose too much or gain a profit.

No one in this world live with a satisfaction that, this is enough. Everyone needs more and more, when some gets a small win this gradually make them investment more. Possibly when days pass it gets converted to addiction. This makes them spend more time on gambling and avoid engaging into other activities.
