Gambling is addicted by many factors combined if you ask me, I think its because its enjoying and can be profitable.
These two combined makes it in my eyes already very addicted and you still have many other factors why people get addicted to gambling.

yup, and the feeling that you are risking your money to gamble. It is like why some people like to do extreme sports because of the extreme feeling you will feel.

There was a study done a few years ago regarding gambling. And what the study confirmed was that if you go to the casino for the first time and win, you have a 50% greater chance of becoming addicted if you go to the casino and either no make anything or lose money. Its because its an addiction.

It is very true, cause if you win the first time, you already believe that this method is going to work and you also believe you will be lucky again. So you will come again.

Yes, when anyone win money on their first visit or try surely they will be more existed and would like to repeat same again and again. But after losing money more than what you won then one should realise it that gambling is not for making money. Anyway if it is fast and free money then mostly no will not control themselves without trying their luck. Free and fast money is the most important thing for gambling addiction.

The greediness of the gamblers and the incapacity to accept defeat are the main reason why they are addicted with gambling. Same with life, if we are not contented we push and push our selves to achieve more and we know for a fact that anything excessive is bad.

gambling is so addictive because of the gambling we could get any. with gambling we can become rich quickly. but it all comes at a cost. gambling also can make us fall into poverty. gambling is very high risk.

I think that the main reason is the illusion of being able to become rich in a short time and without efforts! When you win a small amount, you want more and more.. At the end is always the same, you will lose every profit you made and probably more.

Yup! because in gambling there are a only few individuals that can do it because of their luck and not all are that crazy lucky, and ending up addicted to gambling will cause you a lot of pain and the grieve that your family feel towards you because of your state of addiction can not the control anymore!
It lots of pains if you are addicted at gambling because you can lose everything what you had.. so if you really want to stay away or treat your self from being addicted better to go in psychiatrist first and ask them if how to recover your self from addiction or how to threat it..
And i think they can give more solution for addictions..

Yup! I totally agreed and will recommend a psychiatrist if one is really proven addicted to gambling, because an addicted person doesn't control his urge in playing gambling that much and needs medical attention towards rehabilitation or a social group that transforms addicted persons in their addiction.
I think they can leave the addiction of gambling even without any psychiatrist or their medication, if they start some other activities of life and find some other source of entertainment, it is only the idleness which make us addict of something.

That's true people who got addicted with gambling are those that do not get enough attention from their families and friends. They make gambling as an escape from reality and try to get entertain without knowing that they already devoted their time in gambling.

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 just the tendency that you can double your profits. If you need help to stop gambling, I would suggest you keep a diary entry of your wins and losses and compare your loss with the amount you could have earned without gambling. This helped me to stop although I still sometimes play dice. Hope this helps.

Our greedy minds always convince us to gamble because we can double or even triple our money without considering the risk. Because we are just one sided and only focus on winning we tend to forget sometimes that we may lose our money and when we lose we keep coming back because we want revenge.

Gambling is addicting because people are thinking that they can earn a lot of money with it and that is hard to know before because gambling is hard to know.
But people have to control themselves when they are gambling and that would be nice if that is possible for them.

The bad thing of gambling is that it let you think that you can earn a lot of money with it but that is actually not true because you need to be really lucky in gambling.
And that is hard to stop if you are addicted to it so you have to control yourself.

Yeah we all humans has addiction there is bad and some times good. Become a addicted in gambling is not good it can affect our financial.
I think people become addicted because they are want to win or they get entertaining for their self or sometimes if you are lose many times the mind of the human thinking that they want to get all his or her lose. But honestly it will bring you to down or poor.

I think, the interest of gambling disparate and depends on the players. a lot of people who really like football gambling, but they just gamble at the club when they're playing, so maybe interest in gambling only on a hobby of his players

First step is self-exclude from existing accounts and potentiall paties for permanent periods

And froze one payment method such as Neteller with comment of gambling problems

Keep one debit card for your life payments.
hiding money in a place that you can not reach to gamble again maybe it could be a bit void you of gambling addiction.
someone addicted to gambling because of various factors. one of them of course because of the ease of use bankroll.

gambling is synonymous with making money quickly, everyone always wants to get money quickly, so the people who play gambling will addiction, because they always want to get money quickly, but they themselves are mostly lost.
Greed is not always good, anything excessive is bad for us, especially in gambling if you gamble excessively you will be affected, you will be addicted with it and it will be hard to get out of addictions. Most of the gamblers here learned their lesson in the hard way. I hope it will not happen to anyone anymore that you will lose your family because of gambling.
difficult to play gambling to not greedy. moreover I myself always want to get 1 BTC each I do gambling, but I was too little initial capital to get 1 BTC and in the end always lose Grin
