It is only addictive when you don't have any self conyrol and discipline. All things that provide entertainment are addictive.

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Gambling can be addictive when you get the rush of winning something, or even risking something to potentially win more.

It all comes down to if you can tell yourself when to stop or not. I typically stop when I lose any marginal amount and then try to think of a strategy to get my money back. This doesn't always work out though...

It's addictive because you want to win, and win, and win and win. You have to know when to stop, you have to have self control.

Getting back your money never works.
It is money down the drain. Think of gambling as an expense.  Smiley

You better seek a professional help if you are really addicted to gambling, that ain't a good sign Cheesy But seriously, I think you are looking for a big win or you are trying to recover your losses that's why you can't stop gambling even losing. I think your motto in life is "Try and try until you succeed" Cheesy

Precisely. Everyone that is addicted to gambling is greedy and do not know when is the right time to stop. IMO, these people will only stop once they lose a lot.

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 it is addictive because you want Bitcoin so badly, the truth is not even unlimited money buys happiness. So you should focus on the things you could do to better yourself and have a good time! You don't have to worry about amassing a fortune all the time as if you do and it doesn't work out you could become poor. Of course I think gambling is fun too but it can be a horrible habit if done for too long.

u ask the wrong question. go deep into this is a waste of time. seeking answer for this question is useless. just find ways to get rid of gamble immediately.

don't speak control and discipline again bro, it doesn't apply to gambling addicts, even if he does, I'm sure it's just doing just in the beginning,
then he would forget the control and discipline, he will play greedy again

For most people, gambling isn't especially addictive.  Same with alcohol, drugs and anything else you could get addicted to...  For those that do get addicted to things, its that little rush of feel good chemicals that make you addicted.
If you have that sort of personality, stay away from these things, it will do you and everyone else in your life NO GOOD.
If you are addicted, please seek help, for yourself and those you love.

I dont think so they will stop if they already lose a lot for today. But the next day they will come and start to gamble again. This addiction will never stop unless they are broke and dont have enough money to spend on gambling again. Because to lose a lot suddenly you will only think that may be you are not in your lucky mode and try again tomorrow so in the end you will lose everything

Gamblers keep coming back because there's always another round to gamble and always another chance to win. This is the kind of hope that people keep up, meanwhile thinking that they have another shot at winning, instead they lose it all. It's a shame really, all that money is just lost.

yah, there is so many diff kinds of games to attract you and many other diff target groups of people. even when you lose, you also enjoy yourself. and this is where the real danger is, it makes u addicted to them.

there are a couple of reasons why i think it might be so addicting for players firstly people are thrilled to wait for the outcome of their bet moreover the possibility to win money hooks them on keep on trying

Because when people started lose money there, they wanna bet more to get the loss back, but most of them failed and keep losing, like me, damn i was good at gambling, but after big losses on trading altcoin, i had bad luck on gambling now. I can't win now, what a tragedy.

People are into the need of getting more and more.
When it involves money their mind can't handle it even more and they keep gambling just to make a chance of winning.
