Well, gambling is addicting once you win big and you win consecutively. But once you taste defeat and get nothing out of gambling, you will feel that all of it are wrong and you should've just saved that money instead of depositing it in a gambling site.
in the online gambling sites, will only enrich the site owner. However, sometimes there are online gambling sites that could benefit us
If I recall correctly, there ain't online or offline casino that can benefit you or anyone. Is there?
Well, there is one gambling-based faucet that favor its player, iirc. You lose nothing because you are only allowed to play with faucet money, iirc. It's not really gambling, IMO...

If you are playing player vs player games, I guess you could benefit from other players losses if you have skill; these games are without a house edge. Unfortunately, there aren't very many PvP games due to the fear of bots and a lack of active players.

That was true, i believe most people who get addicted in gambling they had big win previously.
They think gamble should ended with a winning so they will try and try again to chase that big winning again which it is called a "greed".

Gambling is so addicted because people can win money and people make profit, some people think they can make also profit but they won't.
If they lose they want to make money to cover there losses they have made because of the gambling.

Gambling is so addicting because people like it to do. Many people think that they can be rich with gambling.
But the most people lose more money then they win money. They are poor in just a time and they realize it later that they lose a lot of money.

That's true,, in hoping to get rich, they try to risk in gambling and then lost it all, they would repeat it again and again not knowing that little by little their one foot is buried already in debts and in gambling addiction..   Smiley

You are all right. I think the same as you. It is stupid to realize it later that you have a lost a lot of money. People must think that gambling is very bad.
But we cant help those people. The must know it by themselves. I hope later that people will understand what kind of risk gambling has.

I think it's like taking drugs, they know that it won't do them any good but gamblers will still continue. They have the same 'high' feeling I guess.

It depends on win/lose we make they(the owner) rich or not, then back again how much you earn from gamble.
People sees gambling as a game or something. Everyone like it to do and I think the most people are addicted to it. But that is normal I think.
It is fun to do, but you dont have to be greedy. If you are greedy than you will lose a lot of money, because you cant stop playing.

gambling addiction is a form of mental addiction while abusing drugs will have physical need which leads to addiction on top of the mental need.

so i guess quitting gambling is going to be easier because you only have to discipline yourself.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip.
Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

I suppose one of the main reasons is the illusion of getting rich quick and when you do win you think next time if I put in a little bit more then you will win more.  It is an addiction that is hard to kick for sure.

Yeah, its that people want to get rich fast and they think they will by gambling.
But in the most cases it will not happen because its luck you need.

That's part of it's nature and why people keep using it overtime, I think it is related to adrenaline and the desire to make more all human have, it's extremely addicting in a way that make it hard to leave like smoking or alcohol.

But they realize later that they lose more money then they win some money and that will be not so good.
