I believe it's addicting because people keep getting hope of winning the next round or the next one or the one after that.

So they'll just keep on playing without realising they've lost a bunch along those rounds.

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

Well said. In the heat of the moment people keep playing and playing, Not thinking about their loss.

They notice teir loss when there are no more chips/money

gambling is only addictive to greedy people who want to keep on winning. it is wise to know when to quit in case you find yourself losing or even winning. the only problem is that no one thinks they have enough. better investing your BTC in another form if you just feel like multiplying it because betting will see you lose it. thanks

Some people thinks doing gamble make their adrenaline pushed and its make them happy.
So it is not about win or lost only there is something funny when you wait the result.
And it is addicting to fun gamble.
that's mostly true only for addicts though, most normal people will always try to play for money. an addict on the other hand, doesnt care if they win or lose, they just chase their gambling fix and nothing more. to them, the cost of losing is the just the cost of getting their fix, nothing more. and if they win, just just get another one is all.

I saw my neighbour want to chase his loss, he scream so I can hear his voice ( I think he was angry to his wife )
And the horrible part is he commit to suicide by hanging himself with rope  Lips sealed on tomorrrow

So if we can't afford to lose, better stay away from gambling !

What did I just read :O. This is one of the problem about gambling.
That is why I just gamble for fun and if I am lucky that I win money. So that I don't get addicted.
that's exactly how people get addicted though, eventually, it becomes more than just a bit of fun without you even realizing it. the only way to not get addicted is tto just not play at all, constantly telling yourself its just for fun seems like youre just trying to justify your gambling habits.

True, indeed. After that there's nothing left to lose and no chances to take after that.

Unless you got a big buffer behind you of course. After a big loss I wouldn't risk gambling for a while.

a big buffer doesnt matter if you dont have the self control to not chase your losses, which the vast majority people people end up doing. for some unknown reason, people become overconfident in winning a game of chance after winning a bit, and end up throwing it all away trying to squeak a bit more money out of the casino.

"It's like gambling somehow. You go out for a night of drinking and you don't know where your going to end up the next day. It could work out good or it could be disastrous. It's like the throw of the dice."

Gambling is addicting as it gives you hope you to win money without much effort as long as you select the 'right' choice.
It is unlike a job where you have to put in effort.

Depends on what you call effort. Sitting in front of a screen all day placing bets or sitting in a casino can also be seen as effort. As if you are that addicted you probably don't have fun anymore as well.

I believe it can be addicting to some people since there's always hope for players that they can win the next round.

It's a chance you take when you start to gamble, you either win some or you lose some.

I don't like to lose my hard earned money so I don't gamble that often. I rarely gamble on nights out.

Yeah i really don't understand it. You work hard for your money. Sometime seven 10 hours shifts. Then you think. Hey let's waste it on some 10 min gambling game.

?? Everbody things they got a chance, in reality they don't. The house only  lose if they intend to lose.

Gambling is so addicting maybe because  they are thinking that they can double their money in less time. Wether you win or lose once you have tried to gamble you'll get easily attracted on it but sometime it depends on personality of a person.

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?

I think because its fun.
In first you will experience the winning feeling.
after that you will just lose all...
and in order to get back all your loses , you will be tempted
to play again and again until you are drain.
but one thing is sure.people are GREEDY!!!
We will not be contented even we already win, hoping to win more.
unless We people have the control in emotion. and stopped after a win.
Well in the end.. only few addict in gambling success.

People go playing with money just want more of it.

So they keep playing. If they know when to stop, it would be good for them.

Why is it so addictive?

For me, gambling so addictive once you won free money or some amount money only by one bet. Example, by using bet 0.001BTC then you win 0.01BTC. Thats just enough for make you happy and feel want to gamble more and more.  People are greedy, after they get once free, then the want it once again and again. We cant escape from that matter, man.

Yes, that is very true. Most of the people first start gambling as a fun activity but most of them after some time will use it a money making instrument. That's why will try until they lose all their money. So if any one do not want a trouble means better to stay away from gamble before they addicted.

"Why gambling so addict?"
1. If you win, your greedy feeling is control yourself.
2. If you lose, your anger control by your greedy then you lost control for yourself.
Addicting is come from greedy.
