Its obvious, no work for large rewards, you're always a click away from doubling however much btc you have, 5 btc can turn into 10 btc in a matter of second.

I don't really gamble, but in my experience, it is addicting when I win once and tried it again then lose then win then lose again...but never tried it again, maybe I don't have the "luck" in gamble..  Smiley

Hahah yeah me too. Gambling is just fun to do if you don't have money issue.

Maybe next time we have more luck gambling.

hahaha... I'll just make money out of working than gambling,,, I really don't see my self betting my hard earned money...   Smiley
Because you are not an addicted gambler ,but i lose half of my pay in gambling ,either at dice or real casino.Undecided
edit: i get profit's sometimes .

Your are the correct example for gambling addiction. People like you think that no to work hard to earn money and thinks that you can make lot of money from these gambling sites but at the end you will lose every thing to these gambling sites. If that is so easy one can double money in a click away then by now no gambling sites would be existing in this world.

It's addicting because people want to make money, and once they've started to make a bit, they'll want to make as much as possible.
Plus it's extremely fun, and like a computer/console game, it is very, very addicting.

Gambling is really very addictive. Undecided When people gamble they are influenced by a number of things over which they have no control:

  • Due to the influence of chance, gamblers receive irregular winnings or payouts. Gamblers often think they can guess when the next payout or win will occur, but of course this is impossible to do.

  • Some forms of gambling have been described as hypnotic.  If you gamble when you are angry, depressed, anxious or frustrated, you may go into a trance-like state and temporarily forget all your troubles as well as how much time and money you have spent.  This suggests that a person will only get control over their gambling when they have started to make progress in working on the big worries in their life.


  • Most people have strong values about not giving up easily, and not quitting when the going gets tough.  Some people also have very strong competitive drives. These factors tend to work against gamblers, leading them to keep going until all of their money is gone.

  • Gambling can also provide some other non-financial pay-offs, for example: excitement, relief from boredom/stress, as well as a sense of belonging and company.

People like me? I dont gamble if I do its poker and not much, I was answering the question OP gave not saying that I gamble myself lol. I personally dont have the mindset that I gave in my example, and yes you CAN double your money in a click but the house always wins. There is a chance though, that you will double your money.

i gamble mostly everydayn but im using the free fauscet i get, you may say that, it is a small amount
but if youre lucky enough you can actually multiply the amount of the btc you get from faucets, im not just talking about
the free faucets from gambling sites, i use ever satoshi i get from every faucets im using.
so i can say that i can collect about 0.5-0.8mbtc every day which is a big amount considering youre
getting it from free faucets.

0.5 mbtc is 0.0005 BTC I seriously doubt that you can gamble this amount and win more than 1$. Also it is surprising that people are making such fuss about gambling with peanuts.
How can gambling with 2 cents can be good, I would probably gamble with fully virtual currency instead.

i actually won 10mbtc once, it took me atleast 1:30hrs to get that mbtc luck was on my side that day, you may not believe it, i dont care.
you just need a lot of patience, im not a huge gambler so patience is my only advantage
when im betting that low. plus $1 has a high price rate in our country, you cant blame me having a fuss about getting $1.

In a way they are the same. But cost money and ruin lives. Not a few but many lives.

Then offcourse there is the addication element.

For me I find it some times really addicted, because I want to win my money back. In other hand if you win you is also really became addicted, because if you win a lot than you want to spend more to win.

Or I don't know gambling is just addicted some times if you have no control to yourself.

I think it will addictive if a person wants to earn or multiply their earnings...
sample if this person win today it can cause to a person or s/he was thinking that the money is easy to earn on gambling s/he will be back after this winning because s/he was thinking to it.
then also you some gamblers addicted to gambling because some of games is fun. and has a big jackpot prize.

Nope that is not called addictive. That is greediness. Addicted is you keep on playing without thinking others, you keep on playing it but you can't get out from that thing, like drugs. All gambling games is fun when you are winning but if you lose there is no more fun

Of course is not more fun if you are losing with gambling.

Yah that is actually true that is not called addicted, but greediness. Well getting out is not popssible if you do it alone.

You need help from somebody.
