i totally agree with the comment above. seriously thats what happened to me too. i lost over 2btc with that stupid happy small win and make me lose big time.
yeah believe it or not when you gamble then you experience victory, although only a little profit. but you will experience the sensation of great joy that will make you to continue playing. perhaps until all your money is lost

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?
I dont know what makes gambling so addicting,the problem might on our self,we can't stop doing something that make us cry,ts same when you fall in love,its blind Grin
have you try to search on internet about this?if you have try that and found a good solution,share with us please Cheesy

the simple answer why gambling addiction. because gambling is a way to make money quickly. so the people will continue to addiction to make quick money from gambling.


Typical gamblers are likely to go back to a casino to try their luck for the day. Sometimes, they get the feeling that they will win a fortune for that day but unfortunately, most of them go home without cash on their pocket.

Some people actually do get lucky sometimes but can't stop themselves from betting because they are still in profit. Even if they lose, it's okay because they will still have the same amount of money as they did when they get there. Until they eventually lose some more and then chase those losses. Chasing those losses only makes them bankrupt.

Some gamblers get to stop themselves when they are still on a winning streak though and goes home happily. These kind of gamblers will of course go back to the casino. After a period of time, if you ask them how does it feel to lose a lot of money, they will only say "sometimes you win, sometimes you lose". It's a sign that they are gambling on a regular basis.

Typical gamblers are those who have a losing record in gambling, they mostly cannot control themselves in times of pressure. If they win they still play and if they lost they chase to win. The aforementioned negative habits of a gamblers is a sign of addiction and we know for the fact that addiction in gambling will no good into our lives.

It is hard to accept when we lost and we need to as it is the beginning of success that you know how to acknowledge losses and consider gambling as an entertainment as it should be treated.

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.
agree with you, hard to stop when you on profit and hard to stop gambling  Angry very hard
This is the first reason why many people is addicting in it most of people in our country because their hope is so high even if they lose many bitcoin here.. But for me the second thing that they addicting gambling because the feeling when you risking your money is awesome i dont know how it feels but it feels better.

Why are your fellow countrymen is hoping to earn with bitcoin even though they keep on losing? They still not learning a lesson of losing money because of gambling, I hope they will soon realize it.
The feeling that you are saying it is the excitement you feel when risking your money, but you need to consider on how did you put effort just to earn the money you are playing.

We are hoping to earn money in gambling because that is the fastest and easiest way to earn, it does not require you no. of hours and lot of effort to earn but on the other side we also lost. Most of the time we lost because of the so called house advantage so for me it is not feasible for us poor, in order to win, we need the resources to take gambling seriously.

I dont know why but they dont give up even if they lose more bitcoin in gambling, my countrymen have a motto that never give up this is the reason why they dont giveup i think. And i think this is their only way to earn more so this is only they hope to earn big. I asked them if they want to post here they said that they dont like it . They like betting because they can see here that they can be rich.

-WARNING: JUST AN OPINION, MIGHT SOUND A LITTLE PREACHY-
To understand exactly why it's addicting, it might help to study some psychology (specifically "instant gratification"). I'm no expert on the matter, but I think I understand the basics. Essentially, a casino can attract people and keep them engaged, no matter how substantial their losses, because the excitement and triumph that you experience when you win is so compelling. Most people don't have trouble with gambling because they exhibit at least some degree of self-control. Other people, however, get too sucked up in the astronomical odds they face and view it as astronomical potential (a big mistake). Study the odds and try to understand them. Everyone knows the odds, but not everyone can picture them. It's fun to take risks of any sort, just don't forget to try to understand them and don't let them get too large.

I think this is not preachy I think your giving advice and Ithink can say that what you have said is all facts about gambling but gambling really is not predictable you can never know what will be the results of your bet and each time you bet can be very irrelevant sometimes, but you can surely win at times.

It is addicting because it is entertaining, I forget my problem everytime I am in gambling. It makes my world stop and just focus on what I am doing. I lost sometimes but most of the times I won so I keep coming back to collect more money.

The real gambler addict doesn't really care about the outcome. It's not like they feel better after winning and think like "well, this was enough for today. True gamblers addict will just keep on gambling even if they are on a winning streak and anyone with a functional brain would know that after a couple of lucky strikes it's time to stop.

The greedy nature of an individual comes into play when we talk about getting addicted to gambling as he feels that he can win everytime which is simply impossible.

I think is the adrenaline an addicted gambler feels. An addicted gambler doesn't care if he wins or lose he just want to feel emotion for example when watching a champions or europa league or euro 2016 game. Even if he wins he immediately wants to play again. This is a true illness which if its not stopped have ruined a lot of persons and families life so far.

Thing is that most people lose when they bet large, and win when they bet small. If you always lose you won't play anymore, but if you experience that you can win you try and try again..

Gambling is addicting because of the risk/reward and instant knowledge of the result that it gives us. If we win, it makes us feel like we beat the odds (which we have) and that we're unstoppable. If we lose, it makes us want to get back what we lost. It's a very calculated form of entertainment that makes the house fairly wealthy.

That's true as a typical gambler winning is always in our mind, regardless of the odds we do not care about it as we are all relying to our luck in the game. Without considering the risk factor in gambling gives us a headache in the end cause we just realize when our money is gone.

Addiction will start then because we keep coming back and we don't want to accept of defeat in gambling as we are gonna take back our losses not matter what. Unsound decision makings makes it worst.

If we were to consider the risk factor, knowing that we have less than 50% to win the money, we would have not even try to gamble. So those who gamble are usually partially for other purpose like entertainment.

Those addicted with gambling knows the risk for sure but they just disregard it to justify their gambling addictions. They are just concern on how to win their bets and they always makes excuses everytime they lose so they will never learn for sure.
