I think gambling is not addictive unless you start taking it too seriously and start think to earn with gambling.
Whatever you do related to money I think you are very serious, yes whenever you gamble its said that you should not take it too seriously, but that actually is not true. Because when you gamble, inside you a greedy gamblers waits for a win.
100% right, I have never seen anyone gambling and then not even checking whether they lost or won. Yes we do it for fun but thats just a saying and later that fun becomes addiction and when it turns into greed we dont even know.

Gambling is just so addicting because its easy and also very fun to do and I think that is the problem why they are addicted.
Another reason also can be because the profit you can make if you have luck is also pretty nice in a short time.

We all like it to do and that is quite logic, because you can play games and it gives you a lot of fun and you can also win some prize money if you are lucky, but that happens not that often in gambling.
The bad thing of gambling is that the most people think that you can be rich with gambling, but actually that is not true.

well, it is different from person to person. so i think it is more dependent on the personality of different people. some are more stable and can stick to same rules of not getting addicted to gambling but some are not so determined and can lose control and lead to big losses.

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 think Addiction occur on random occasions and you will never notice when will it occur an addicted person will notice it but can he fight the urge in playing gambling because of this urge you are not pretty sure if you can stop it by yourself or not.

Actually you can control yourself for not gamble. Mostly factor that affect people to keep gamble is environment
If you're live on religious environement , you will learn about the effect of gamble so you will be stay away from gambling gradually

Well you are partly right but I think the religious people will also be attactred to do this its like a forbidden fruit for these people in my opinion.
Its easy to control yourself but some people do not have the control to control themselves.

Everyone of us are sinful that is why all of us can be attracted to gambling but if certainly one has known jesus as his savior he can never be tempted with earthly stuffs anymore so I think it is not in his religious beliefs that one will truly be unaffected with gambling temptation it is on a person and the grace of GOD working on him.

Only those are addicted who do not have any knowledge about playing on these sites and keep a target to themselves and play again and again,
They should have to make a time-table for themselves and have to play there for fun whenever you feel bored.

You are right with this the point is that every gamble bet you are making get you more and more addicted, I think it do not depend on in what is your religion because everyone can try it once some get addicted because its enjoying and at some people not.

Religion is not really important when it comes to gambling anyone will get hooked to the sin that is gambling, but I think there are certain people that can fight the urge in gambling and I think If you are truly are a christian you can't be tempted with this kind of pleasure!

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?

it is so addicting because people are very greedy, and it makes you to play again and again, but chance to win more money makes you risk everything that you have, some people just tries gambling, but once they lose they wants to win what they lost back, and like i said, they will try to win and will risk everything

Indeed people are very greedy and that is bad, because they must know that gambling is only made for fun and not to make some money with it of course it is fun to win some money but it wont happen that often.
People see gambling as a game, but they dont must play that game to much otherwise they will be poor.

indeed greed is a sin that needs to be controlled and it is bad if you allow it on your betting, if you can't control your urge in playing gambling then I think you are addicted to it and that will be your biggest problem.

I don't know why would gambling addicting... You just lose more money than you win, there is no reason to be addict on it. Play just what you are disposed to lose, for fun and everything will be fine.  Smiley

You are right. But the problem is, many people is hard to control their anger when their bets is loss. So they bet more to get back their loses, but it's make they get more loses and become addicted.
many people who go and gamble where initially they have a goal to have fun in gambling. They do not realize that playing with money it makes them greedy. if they win and profit
they will cannot control themselves so that they continue to play and defeat large

So you are saying that gambling is a sin for every people? I dont agree with you because gambling will never do something bad to you, the one is doing the bad thing and sin is only yourselves so if you can change yourself no matter what religion you are it will be no big deal

Exactly people who loves gambling will continue to gamble, and it really doesn't matter which religion then belong to and one who wants to make quick money will always choose gambling.

Lol. I have a lot of friends and relatives that is 'truly' a Christian, and most of them gamble occasionally.
It's not how loyal you are to your religion, IMO.

Life sucks.

Sure some people can't handle the game and make sure to lose their money. Which is their own fault offcourse.
However it is sad that they will blame a game for losing loads of money. Because the addicting aspect of gambling is not so much the money but the greed for money
