Because naturally people are greed. When greed take over his mind , it will become addicted.
Some people can't control the power of greed so they can do anything to keep gambling ( even they must break the law )

Its easy. Its addicting because humans naturally are very greedy. And they are also fearful and that's what leads to their failure.

When you win, you always feel like you could win more.

When you lose, all you want to do is win what you lost back.

Yes both winning in gambling or losing make a gambler to play again and again.
In the event of losses, people are blindly believing to recover their losses from same game. I am too like that, but I do not know how we are believing a gambling play to recover our losses. This may be a starting point of addiction.

Keeping yourself to gamble again and again by not letting you think of anything else but only about making profit with gambling is the point where gambling makes people getting addicted.
Both winners and losers stay again to gamble to make profit either to make big profits or to cover the losses.

Winning or losing is not a matter in gambling to get addicted.
Because both winners as well as losers are getting addicted to gambling for their own reasons. In general we can say gambling is addictive regardless of your success or failure with gambling.

Yes these addictive things will not let you analyze yourself. It means gambling addiction will overcome our perception power of analyzing our mistakes. The only motto in front of every gambler is just making more profit.

That is the good point both winners as well as losers are getting addicted to gambling. The reason why gambling is so addicting to every gamblers is human nature of greediness. I could not find any other reasons to blame for gambling addictions.

Why is it so addictive?

probably you are trying to get back your losses and i guess that's the reason why you are still trying to gamble even you are losing. its addictive because, there's money involved, money is addictive as well Cheesy

What's your evidence to support that statement.
Because actually psychology divides problematic gamblers in two types, the action gamblers and the escape gamblers, and the profile of the action gamblers are generally male subjects with high IQ scores. They do have a lot of disorders like low self esteem and many others, but their IQ is not a problem.
They usually prefer gambling that involves skill like poker, sports betting, and recently, trading of stocks, so they can't have a low IQ.
The other disorders is what makes gambling a problem.

It is good that you noticed adrenaline. Not only desire a fast money pushes people into gambling. Excitement attract people - this bad and this good. When someone wins is thinking about this more then when he lose and tells the others - thats how new people mostly are coming to the world of gambling.

Maybe you are trying to get back and cover your losses so you can't stop playing even if you always. That already happened to me , I never stop 'til I won. I keep on betting even I lose, its really addictive.

Gambling is no more addictive than any other thing which brings you some satisfaction: reading, watching movies, sex etc. If you want to get rid of your gambling addiction just get another addiction and it should work. )

Completely untrue and biased opinion. From my experience I can tell you that IQ has nothing to do with addiction, the fault lies in 'addictive personality' of subject.
Emotions and life problems are also a big factor. The same mechanism is partially responsible when really highly intelligent people are falling prey to religious sects and various cults.

Sometimes I feel some sensation when I win from gambling.
And when I loss, surely it feel sucks but doesn't mean I will quit from gambling

It's addicting for people with low IQ usually.

No, it's cause by human nature called greed
