Gambling is so addictive because many people sees gambling as a game. They like it to do and they think they can some earn money with it.
But they realize later that they lose more money then they win some money and that will be not so good.
You are 100 percent right. That is indeed the reason. They like it to do and after they play then they cry because they lose so much money.
You all must know that gambling is very bad and that is not a game to be rich. If you want to be rich you should just work hard.

Gambling is very addicting because its enjoying to play and you can win money.
Many people think they can win get rich by it buts its the opposite of it.


yeah, most of those people who are addicted to gambling are positive that they will win big soon, so they risk every penny they have and sometimes lend money so they could bet longer but it is really the opposite that always happens..  Smiley

The thrill of winning once makes people just want to keep doing it and doing it even with rapid losses.

you're right, a win in gambling will make the appeal of gambling is higher, even if the person is experiencing huge losses, it will not stop them

Winning "beginners luck" is I think a lure that makes everyone think that it is easy to win in gambling, that results to gambling addiction if not controlled..  Smiley

Not just it, gambling provide a fast way to earn money. But people mostly forget about "gambling provide a fast way to throw money" part.
So for people who won in gambling they will never stop because they already knew how good winning in gamble. Until big lost happened to them they will regret do gamble.

Hmzz, I think you still don't have an interest in gambling and you are more concerned with a sure thing and not an uncertain things like gambling. but gambling has a space that contains a treasure trove of filth and if you could enter the venue certainly you will profit a lot. Keep in mind, if you want to do gambling you should have an understanding of gambling and games that you will use, you must observe the path of the last game and you have to make a strategy from your observations. And after that use the strategy well and structured + wear a clear mind and don't use ambition

I think people like it because it is a kind of game. They like it to do, and I think the most people like it. But the most people can control themselves.
The most people that are addicted to gamble must control themselves, I think that is the best option or they must find a distraction.

Gambling is so addicting because people like it to do. And it is fun to do. But they lose a lot of money.
People think that you can earn some money with gambling, but that is not true. They lose more money than they win money.

Gambling can be addicting because of the chance and feeling you can win real money, its also that its fast so they think they can win money fast with no losses.
Its funny because the most people will lose a lot because they think like that, at the end they will all have debts.

i think gambling addiction is usually one of two mainly things, knowledge that you have won before, and can gain again

Simply because you have the feeling you CAN win, no matter how low the chances are.
This pretty much sums it up for me, you always expect a different outcome, you just expect that "this time will be my lucky time", and you do this a million times and you are still not satisfied even after winning a decent price, I think only the jackpot could make you feel like you are done with gambling for a while.

Precisely, lol. I won hundreds times and I am lucky all the time and thought that if I keep betting maybe I will be richer than Bill Gates. But the last bet of that day pretty much change everything in a click. Bill Gates still richer than most of us.

Life sucks.

No it's not. Cocaine affects your body's chemical balance while gambling fools you by playing on your dreams. You don't physically need to gamble just keep thinking about it. It's really easy to stop.

So in other words, it still affects your life like a drug because of the dopamine that makes you come back for it again and again. The effects psychologically are almost similar, imo.
