nothing can stop the addiction to gambling. only one who can stop that is when you have become a very rich man .

What? When you are rich you're likely to want more, and people would even want to steal your money more. You're actually more at risk of gambling when you're rich, than when you're poor.
The true rich people know how important money is, they just go for gambling because they want to compensate themselves an excitement they can get from gambling. And knowing that they are rich they may be gamble a huge amount of money but I am pretty sure they can afford to lose it. So why worry about rich they have their own decision in life and majority of them make it the right way.

And i think rich people will not risk to lose gamble instead they will find another investment strategy. We may watch some rich people gambling when they are depressed but if they are in the brink of a bankrupt or they will get bigtime, there first choice would not be gambling.
We are talking here of extremely rich people, if this rich people is greedy then he would invest to another business to be more richer, for me their is no sense of being the richest if you cannot enjoy your wealth. You should have set a retirement age and rip the fruits of your labor by doing everything you want including gambling.

I also think gambling is addicting because its enjoying but I also think ts because people are greedy these days and want to make profit with gambling and will try it over and over, till they have nothing left.

It's our instinct, we tend to repeat or do things over and over again if we see that somehow it gives us benefit one time or many times...So if you win in gambling and love the way how you win it easily and instant, then there's a big possibility that you will get addicted..

That is right. It is called reward system. If we get something that we like when doing something, we tend to repeat it. And continously doing it, over time, we get addicted. There is no escaping it, unless you stopped before hand or you lossed a lot on the first try.

Lost on the first try it's same like all-in, right. i dont think it can help you to out from gambling as long as you still have money to gamble you will go back to gamble, the only possible way to out from gambling is your mindset.

I can only guess that you have a wrong idea here. There are actually many ways to stop addiction not just being rich.
Even the rich people still gamble and it's just for fun for them. Rich people have a different perspective on money, It's very important for them.

Why gambling is addicting? It is the idea of earning money without working. It's make you excited and it increase the dopamine in your brain. But in truth you will lose more time and money on gambling. The only one who makes money in the long run are the gambling operators. The gamblers will won from time to time but hey lose more next time.

yeah, but a big part of it is because of the risks, and the thrill that it give you when you play a gambling game. and that is why a lot of people still do it even if they are not making any money. the risk taking is in all of us as our part of nature. so we take these risks and what is better than gambling where there is earning potential too.

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.

Some are addicted because they wanted to get back their loses,Some want more profits in it
profits to be earned in gambling chances are very small, just the luck factor that could affect these benefits.
I think not only people those who lost are experiencing addiction but many people are experiencing victory in gambling
also kept always gambling and betting ?

More that one is many, but still the majority of people whose into gambling experienced an overall lose in their gambling career. Therefore gambling is addicting because everyday it's a different games and scenarios especially when you are into sports betting. People always wanna gamble because they chase their losses.

I think, whoever is thinking that people can win money from gambling is not fully correct because no strategies will work in gambling for the longer time so at the everyone will going lose it to the gambling house. So just use gambling for fun and entertainment and spend some limited amount which you can afford to lose. It is almost impossible to make money in the long run from gambling.

It also causes an addiction, But that's what we call greed. When he/she already won but still want more it will sometimes lead into loosing a lot more money. That's why all gamblers needs control and need to be satisfied on what they won.

There are lot of people said this gamblers need to control there mind set and they have to fix one amount before playing But why still gamblers loosing there money including me why because we not follow these strategy we try to follow this but once we loose or win money we will lost our control and will start betting blindly.

The strategy was already their now the problem is most of the gamblers cannot implement it especially when they are under pressure. Pressure of winning and losing, that is why it is advisable that one should practice controlling his emotions before gambling.

Gambling is addicted because there are a lot of people that is getting more addicted to gambling and that is because we all like it to do and that is the problem.

People that is gambling thinks only that the value will be more worth and that is the problem, they have to control themselves and know that losing money is a higher chance.

Yah, Just like what i did just now, I lost my bet in PBA games (PHILIPPINE BASKETBALL) and I was planning to chasing and I wast tempted, it is really hard when you are already in the middle of gambling seems like you don't want to stop and keep chasing.

An important aspect of quitting gambling is to find alternate ways to handle these difficult feelings without gambling like spending more time with your friends and with your family, have a quality time.
thats a good tip say to someone who's addicted to gambling
that he just must stop it. thats the most stupid thing i ever heard..

Gambling is addicting because it will let you think that you can earn a lot of money with it but that is actually not true because losing money with it is a higher chance.
But it gives you also a lot of fun of course but you have to know that it can really also cost a lot of money with it.

That's something that makes addicting. Specially gambling when you are enjoying it and experience to win some bucks. Definitely, you are thinking that you are lucky and have the possibility to win higher amount.
But that is not always a right thing to think about gambling.
