The main reason for a person to become a gambling addict is when they constantly wins and when the time  they lose the game tendency is they want to get the money back so they will gamble again and again and so on and so fourth. And that will lead them to become addicted in gambling.
Or arguably the point is too much gambling, no limit how much money will be used to gamble, lack of self-control are some of the causes why people addicted to gambling. Therefore, if you want to gamble, do not need to gamble too much, set the limit so that we are not too much gambling and must be able to control themselves well.

That is a good point, but nobody I think will be that good in setting a certain limit for himself and abide to that strictly. Some may go a little beyond that and most will go over beyond that. So setting up limits is something that is hard to achieve that makes gambling so addicting.
Setting limits would really be the hardest thing specially on gambling field.Yet its easy to say but really hard to do in the middle of the situation. Gambling is addicting specially when you do experience winnings because excitement that you would feel would really boost up the greediness inside you.Why i can say such thing? Because this is how i feel anytime i do play.

I don't think that it's too hard to set limits for yourself, It's not hard like when we decide to quit gambling at all. So, everyone can set his limits, it depend of how much he had money. People can follow this limits and avoid to lose so much money, so the objectiv is that the limits can proftect us from breaking, it's smart to use that.

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?
When you always winning in gambling the way you want to gamble again maybe its for fun but you need a self control and limit yourself to avoid being addictive in gambling.Set up yourself and make an importance to every money that you earn.

Totally agree but it doesn't end at setting those limits but the commitment, discipline and will to follow through with those limits is what matters the most. Most gamblers even though they know the right thing to do can't discipline themselves enough to follow a plan and execute their games in perfection.

Gambling has no difference on anything that is addictive, except for their effect.

So entertaining it in the first place is like giving it a chance to tie you to it. You have a point there that when we are "winning, we really feel happy". That's one reason, aside from that, there are other gambling addicts who are there not because they are enjoying it, but because they have no choice, and gambling is their bread and butter.

To consider gambling as our bread and butter needs us to be good enough because that means we are making a living in gambling.
It's addicting but as long as we have the discipline we will be able to succeed in gambling, this could be hard for the majority of gamblers but I know there are people who are born to be good in gambling, we should where is our place because if we force ourselves in believing that we are good and we can be rich in gambling even not proving it, that will only create a bigger problem.

I think gambling become addicting because people who have a lot of enough do not know what to do anymore, when they get bored. They have so much money they cannot even count, so they can do whatever they want.

And when they find gambling, they feel interested and exciting. Of course not all rich people will do that, but usually, people who become addicted in gambling are rich people. Poor people will focus and make their asses work harder to become successful. They will not risk their money out of some luck and fortune. Only crazy people who do not have money but willing to risk theirs for entertain and luck.

In short, it is our emotion that is the driving factor that we are going back and want to gamble again and again. For me, that emotion is focus on having fun and entertainment while I think others are really for the gain - at the end of the day when both of us experienced a losing session, I will be ok but I am not sure with the other whose aim is for profit Smiley

Stop making those excuses about feeling okay even if you loose from a gamble. Reality is that everyone goes imto gambling for the profit but when it turns out sour then some people start finding reasons to justify their loss. I will call a spade a spade and accept my losses after a gamble and come back again at the appropriate time. Gambling is so addicting because people fail to accept the results and they seek to explain and encourage themselves with some of these flimzy excuses that they had fun and that was their aim and not necessarily the profit. Such folks will keep playing and stand a great chance of getting addicted.

It is the never ending greediness of a human being.

Whenever we reach the point wherein we feel the rush that we do not feel everyday, this is what makes gambling addictive.

gambling offers some kind of fun that makes you always asking for this game. also, the fact of having too much choices in betting makes you sure about the possibility of winning in each game.

It is the rush that most people come back for. Or others who doesnt have daily jobs tend to find it productive to play gambling so they atleast can provide financial support to their love ones.
The feeling in your head, the excitation of the probability that you are going to win again in gambling. But for sure it would require something to be lost in order to gain and most of the time, that's how life works.
It cost too much money , gambling is really an expensive entertainment with its big risk.
Things make gambling addictive because of its easy making money potential .
While actually the chance for you to make it happen really small, you will lost definitely.
One can call gambling as an expensive game because if you lose, then probably you lose big. This is all about wise planning. A person should set up some limits before he gambles .gambling could not be considered as an easy way to earn money because it is all about luck. If you are unlucky, then there are no chances of getting benefits from it.

Gambling is not addictive for everyone. While some people can drop $20 into a slot machine and then walk away whether they win or lose, others have a hard time doing so. For those with gambling addiction, I think that it's mostly about the adrenaline rush that they feel when they play.

Agree gambling addict is looking for that adrenaline feeling they get when they gamble and its satisfy them even if they will lose. I think the entertainment of gambling is one of the reason why there a lot of people gets addicted in gambling.
Lol i am sure deep inside of their heart they do gamble because of the possibility to make money easily.
They might think they are gamble for the sake of fun but actually it is always about money.
Your addiction come from the desire want to earn profit without a real effort just pick between two option and get your money doubled.
I really don't know why some people tend to think that winning money from gambling is really easy, From all my time from gambling, i have noticed that making money from gambling is like pushing a boulder up a boulder up a rock, it's never easy at all and sometimes fruitless.
Because when you put your money there it gets doubled within a minute, that's why they think like that way.
Indeed really works for short term but not for the long term , you will get lost sooner or later and suffering.
Addiction in gambling always really hard to avoid. It is always there waiting for you.

yeah right its an expensive source of enjoyment people tend to keep playing and trying their luck inside this activity, the more you engage yourself
the more chances that you will get attached and addicted you cant easily say that you are already an addict unless people around you will tell you
directly that you are indeed.

It's always on the mind buddy. gambling is not addicting it's just on our mind because first we know that in gambling you can risk money to gain more money but mostly people who plays gambling everyday is not addicted in gambling its just they just want to have a pass time and also its their passion.

We will get addicted when we aim more money but we cannot easily make it because we will be challenge to try every method just to find the success. A gambler can easily be addicted if he is weak in controlling his emotion so for those who think they are good but they are weak emotionally then I guess they have to realize early because they will never have a long term success.

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.
Yes you need to control yourself in addiction of gambling.Find another way to avoid it spending your time to your family and make an importance about what you earned in bitcoin you work hard for it atleast it makes a sense when you spend it.
He needs to work hard on this thing if he really wants to live a peaceful life without the interruption of this evil game. He should discuss this with his family or the close friend who understands him well because whenever he feels like gamble, he should let the respective person about the situation. In this way, the other person is definitely going to keep him busy to divert his mind.

I think that many people want to make money in an easy way and start gambling, but this very often develops into dependence and eventually a person loses all the money, but can not stop.
If we all are given a chance to have money without doing any work, nobody will deny such opportunity. This is what gamblers think of gambling that it is way to grab good amount of money without doing any work and they keep on betting for whole of their lives because of this belief but those who do not gamble are clear in minds that it cannot be a source of income. Greed makes gambling addictive.

yeah this is why many people still playing gambling even they know the risk. sometimes when a gambler see that he is win in two times, he will be thinking that in next round, he will win again and this could makes him to continue playing gambling. and once he is trying more and more, in that time, he can be an addicting person in gambling without he realize.
