Why is gambling so addicting?

[cluit]

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

Why is it so addictive?

The euphoria that it gives the brain when you win. It's something that you crave. The feeling of winning. Or the chance of winning. I mean just imagining yourself winning a very huge amount gives you enough stimulus to gamble, Gamble everything at some point for a small chance of winning.

Yes they think that you can win indeed. But you lose always more money and that is very bad. They must know that gambling is very bad to do.
And of course it is fun to do. But you need to have borders for yourself. Otherwise you will get poor and that is not good.

Yes, if someone want to play it then he do not have to spend/invest all of his/her money in gambling but a fraction of it. So he will never ever remain poor of money and will have some money to spend his/her life.

it's just a part of it's nature as gambling and the feelings and excitement the person, I don't think there is particular reason but if you want a biological reason then you should just google it, There are tons of possible ways both physically and mentally for gambling to be addicting IMO.

Gambling is so addicting because you get that feeling when you win a lot of money, its a great feeling and you want this again and again.
And its also that its very enjoying in my opinion.

You've done the same habits every time. namely gambling. so you'll feel less if you do not gamble
The same when you're in love with someone

You are right when a hope of winning and entertainment combines together then none of any person leave it and it become addiction. But sometime the game without of money also become addictive.

It is the joy and excitement when you are winning. On the contrary it is the will to get it back when you are losing.  That is why gambling cannot be stopped by others.

yes, those  who win wants more and those who were busted wants gain....but some gamblers are not too much in need of money to ge a profit from gambling...probably its just the excitement, and thrill, or maybe some are just killing their time and maybe they are "bored" with less things to do in their life..

I think every gambler feel that too man. Always want back to gambling and want win back their loses by gambling more later. but you will get more loses.

That's right, every gambler think that the next time will replace his previous loses and win big amount of bitcoins, but in fact most likely he will lose again his hard earned coins.

Yeah, the hope to recover his/her lost money back by playing again stick them to the game and due to this they never leave to gamble again at that place where tey have lost again and again.

Gambling is so addicting because you get that feeling when you win a lot of money, its a great feeling and you want this again and again.
And its also that its very enjoying in my opinion.

And not only that. When you are about to bet a big amount you have an adrenaline rush to which many people are addicted, that's why they are doing Bungee jumping or even going to war.

[Pollak]

Many people is addicted to gambling and that is very bad. People think that you can make some good and fast money with it. But that is not true.
In the most situations you will lose money than you win, because you only need luck in gambling and that is very rare.

The adrenaline rush and the thrill of gambling really make its addicting and that why even if they lose people still want to gamble because of the feeling they get when they won something at a casino,also add the bragging rights which is the most awesome.

The more risk people take the more they can earn through gambling,some people still enjoy gambling even though they lost so much.
The enjoyment that they feel about gambling makes them addicted to it.

on the contrary many people thought gambling in long term will result you more lost than your winning.
in this lost phase usually addicting come to your mind, tell you to keep playing until you get back all your lost money which it's wrong action.

Actually both of you are right about gambling, it is risky, addicting, and most people are enjoying it, but I see gambling in a different way gambling certainly is profitable for me in my point of view sometimes I feel sorry about my self that I am losing much but sometimes it can make you profitable.

sometimes losing much and sometimes profitable, sound like your money just stays the same over time and all you did is just losing your time.

this is so true , if we think about it repeatedly all we have done so far just wasting our precious time .
all back to previous bankroll even negative , lets says we won 1 btc this month , lost 2 btc in next month 1-2 = -1 btc, and won again 1 btc , 1-1 = 0 this circle keep turning around. more likely a loan for me

your comment makes my point much more clear with number and example. circle is the exact word to use.

Gambling is addictive because gamblers don't lmose their dreams to get rich fast through playing with their coins, even if they lose many times.

is not about dream. many people who become rich because of gambling. maybe that's what they think.
they are too trusting with gibberish that many people become rich through gambling. then they keep trying

Yes so it's just an dream to make like this people and get rich fast, they forgot the fact that many people loose thousands of Dollars through gambling as well.

IMO Gambling addiction is usually one of two things. Either the knowledge that you've won before, and can win again, with the same ease, or the "need" to recoup your losses.

Either way though, that's a horrible mindset to be in the middle of.

[Ulloa]

Gambling is very addicting because its enjoying and you can make a lot of money with it in a fast time period.
And who doesn't want to win a lot in such a short time and that is people gets greedy and get addicted to it if they won once, they want that feeling and the money again.

[pateda]

gambling is so addicted because of  money as people sometimes got lucky and earn money without any work. That's what i think the main reason for gambling also the fun.

[Decoded]

I'll put this simply, with something I personally have alot of experience in. In-game unboxing/uncrating. You know that the odds are extremely low, but one of two ideas will come up in your head -

 - Ive uncrated so many times, it's GOT to be a knife/unusual!

Or,

 - *Insert name here* got an unusual first try!!! Ima get it next try!

Getting rich fast from gambling is just a kind of delusion imo, the delusion makes people addicted to gambling. In fact most people will lose their money and only few lucky people can make great money from gambling,

Why you should spend more than 1 btc in the next month? I dont really get it, if you said you win 1 btc this month next month you should at least safe some before you busted it everything. Your explanation doesnt make sense. With this kind of assumption thats why you keep on wasting your time without getting any profit

As I understand he is just giving an example on how gambling addiction works, sometime we win sometime we lose and the amount is not the main idea on his example. In other words, an addicted gambler who just won some btc, then he will try to get more than previous winning but in fact he lose more.
