To me it feels like people see a way to generate a lot of money and so they gamble and keep on gambling until they win.
They won't stop until they hit jackpot. Problem is 99% don't make the jackpot phase.

It's as easy as that.


actually the gambling addiction comes when people start losing money.

because most of them, when they lose money they try their best to win it back so they chase their losses until they are out of money and even if they can they will deposit more money to continue chasing and that is why they get addicted.

Yeah you pointed out some of the reasons why gamblers always comes back for more.

chasing for the lose amount is one of it, another is that winning before and wanted to win again so they come back to play and become greedy and after that if they lose it will comeback on what you had just said that chasing for the loss amount of bitcoin.

But for some it is addicting because of the fun, excitement and thrill.
Gambling is something logical and easy to explain. And if treat it not like magical solution for your money problems - because with that mindset you will have even bigger problems.
But rather  like hobby when you potentially can earn or lose some money. And never go all in, unless you are fine with the negative outcome.

Yeah nobody should treat gambling a way of earning money for living.

Gambling is actually made for entertainment, and if people forget about it and becomes greedy on the money that they might win then that is the start of their losing, and if that happens they come back for more and more just to reclaim the money that they loss.

Gamblers like us should always put a limitations to our usage of our money when it comes to gambling for us to prevent a negative effects on our life.

yeah, because not all the time you will always win the game. one time I tried to play, and I can't win a couple of game past by and I stop as early as I can for me to not get addicted to this kind of game, because I know I will just lose lots of money although our bet was just a bit of money but when the game runs to long this is also an equivalent of losing a lot of money.
I think the more we lose we will be addicted with gambling, maybe the thrill is on when we experienced losing as we are challenge and we would like to prove that we can beat that system and we will end up in the winning side.

hahaha That's true. sometimes we want to play and play all over again for us to get back our money we lose. But sometimes instead of getting back our money, we just lose lots of money hahah!

Why is it so addictive?

Self controlling and understanding is the best way to not got addicted in gambling.

You must know how to control yourself. If you don't want to become one of the addicted gamblers our there. Stop betting or playing. Because once started, it is hard for you to stop. You must know how to stop as early as you can. Just a bit of advice. hehe

It's so hard to control myself when on gambling. Especially when you win some but you want more and keep gambling and you become addictive. It's become a problem and makes you lose in the end.

I think that this is the problem of every one. every one is in struggle to make more and more money in a very very short time. but I make him addicted and if he won a lot of money still he will be willing to increase it.

Yep. But another thing to note is gambling gives you a certain excitement. Same concept you get when you are drug high. And i guess that is what making it addictive.

Drug high is less risk than gambling because when you are high with drugs you will not lose money unless you also gamble but most like trips are going out on a bar with friends. On the other hand, gambling addiction is very dangerous as you might be bankrupt within a day if you make a bad decision with your money.

Actually guys,

The said only reason you told is actually the only reason,

Some play gambling and become addicted to it because it is where they had found their happiness, which can be derived from the thrill, excitement, and challenges that they found in gambling from the risk that it pose to their money.

some are addicted to it because they do want to win back and reclaim their lose money on it, and more.

everyone have different perspectives, and reasons on why they had become addicted to it, and it is not only from the single reason you gave.

Gambling is designed that way. It is designed around a basic human emotion "Greed" the fact that many of the games are fun makes it even more attractive to our emotions. Everything about the system is designed to make you want to gamble. That is why it is so addictive.
if this is really designed that way, I'll admit that this design is very remarkable to destroy a person's life can even make people richer. but this design in our control if we know what the risk is.

it's true, it's not from only a single reason, but different reasons, but not too many reasons, just a few. everyone has some same problem. but even if there are bunches of reasons, we still have to state them all in order to solve them all.

Based on my experience, if i win once, i will already stop for me to not lose a lot of money. Im just gambling when bored and once I win I will stop. But there are times that I can't win, but I dont want to think That i need to get back the money because the more I bet the more I am losing a lot of money.

People are very greedy. And that is not good in gambling. We all hope that more people will stop gambling so they can have some more money to save.
Gambling is so addicting, because they like it to do and they think that they can win some money.

Agreed with you, people are addicted towards the gambling in the hope of winning huge amounts . Some people are also addicting because they want to become a rich in short time with no hard work.

yes you're right,

But not all people who are addicted to gambling are in chase of the winning amount in it.

Some are addicted to it because it is the only way where they had found thrill, excitement, and challenges.

As gambling is made for entertainment and not for earning money as it is full of risk and for sure will lose you and your bitcoin in the end.

Gambling is only addicting if you lose your mind trying get rich fast. I know we all are like that sometimes but it's bad to be like that all the time. It's bad for you, it's bad for your loved ones. Just think of it and stop being addicted forever.

Gambling sux!
Why you talk like that , maybe you lost your money on gambling.
We at least have lost in gambling , but you can learn from your past. About profit you make.
And not to be greedy , if you don't want to lose your money.. It's all about planning..
Once you are addicted you hardly can resists yourself from loosing money and playing again and again.
Gambling is so addicting because of the fact that you never are able to tell yourself why you want to leave it.

not exactly, people have different reasons why they get addicted to gambling, some are addicted to it
because of the excitement and thrill they get when they play some people are as you say because of wanting
to get rich fast some are because of the competition and mind games and so on. so when youre addicted on
gambling doesnt mean you want to get rich fast and plus you need to work hard when your addicted to gambling.

There is nothing so addictive in this world, you can stop gambling anytime.
I used to smoke too much, but when I started not doing it, I tried this trick for 21 days.
It is said that whatever your addiction is, if you try and don't do it for 21 days, you can control yourself after that very easily as your mind will stop thinking about it.

Indeed, it all depends on individual if he is ready to accept the change in his life. I know it is difficult in the first but with full effort to change you can achieve change. You need also to shift your interest with our things that requires more effort and time so you will totally forget gambling.

But still it is an addiction,

There is no such thing as having no addiction at all in this world, why do they build some rehab facilities, why do we have a group that help leave the addiction to smoke.

There is an addiction, but it all depends on people who are addicted to it on how fast they will leave it, if they spend more time on other things for sure they can do it in less than a month.

Why is it so addictive?

I got same issue like you. I know at the end (with my methods) i will lose my money in gambling.
But after i postponning to not make bet or play. I just keep make bet until today.  Undecided

Self controlling and understanding is the best way to not got addicted in gambling.

You must know how to control yourself. If you don't want to become one of the addicted gamblers our there. Stop betting or playing. Because once started, it is hard for you to stop. You must know how to stop as early as you can. Just a bit of advice. hehe

It's so hard to control myself when on gambling. Especially when you win some but you want more and keep gambling and you become addictive. It's become a problem and makes you lose in the end.
I think that this is the problem of every one. every one is in struggle to make more and more money in a very very short time. but I make him addicted and if he won a lot of money still he will be willing to increase it.

Yep. But another thing to note is gambling gives you a certain excitement. Same concept you get when you are drug high. And i guess that is what making it addictive.
Drug high is less risk than gambling because when you are high with drugs you will not lose money unless you also gamble but most like trips are going out on a bar with friends. On the other hand, gambling addiction is very dangerous as you might be bankrupt within a day if you make a bad decision with your money.
Non sense. When does drugs become a better thing. It is even worse because when you are in drugs you do not have control of your self. Drugs will take over your mind and body. And there is also the risk of getting over dosed. A lot of people died because of drug overdose. No addiction is good, whether drugs or gambling.
