Gambling is addictive because when someone loose money that doesn't consider his loss as loosing money. Many people think they are not loosing because someday will be their day and they will take back all the amount with interest by winning big once. In gambling both winning and loosing keep person hope and provoke to stay intact it is hope which makes it more addictive.

you have such a negative thinking about gambling.
things aren't that bad in gambling, or at least it is not this bad for everybody. a lot of us are in control and also make some small money on the side while having all kinds of fun gambling without getting addicted.

Very true and it has always done. I've also never done it, because at that time I was in need of a lot of money in a short time, so I did some gambling with great emotion and greed.
yeah gambling is all about making our mind more addictive, it doesn't matter weather you win or lose your addiction towards it will go on increasing and only one way to get out of it is just go to rehav and consult with the psychiatrist !

exactly, all those who feel addicted in gambling will certainly be tough to get away from it and will always do gambling until they absolutely have the determination and a strong desire to stop gambling. How that might be done is to do activities that can forget bitcoin, consulted to family/psychiatrist.

You are right, it can be avoided if they are doing to do other activities that can get their attentions and get addicted into it.

That's the best way to avoid gambling is to get addicted again with other things.

Just like what you did in gambling and you became addicted with it.

The more higher bet mean the more higher profit, I also think this kind of bets made gambling more attractive, gambling is always attractive when we hear some extra ordinary type of success stories which make inspire other to get start gambling and avail their chance to get rich so quickly.

That's actually what catches my attention too before, when I saw what I could win from almost a scratch or no capital at all. Not to mention those who testifies that they win a lot because of their technique...So I think, your first impression about gambling is what could possibly be the key/reason on why you are addicted to it.

I was also once a victim of those propaganda endorsing a technique to always win on a certain gambling site. But instead of winning, I lose my bitcoins. That is when I accepted that I cannot win in gambling. So now, I just play occasionally with small amounts. No regret when I lost, but good vibes when I win.

Although that is just temporary but we feel real job when we sometimes win in gambling and that is just normal as a gambler, on the next day we do gamble again longing to win more but we could end up losing.

We must accept whatever the results in the gambling but we must have the joy in doing it.

Yup! accepting really is the way so you would not regret and try to get back what you have lost in gambling in that way you will not have too many expenses in gambling and no frustration over what you have lost.

I don't think we can accept loosing while in that moment, But after that day you will just realize what you've lose before you can really accepts what happen. So after you realize what happen on that day be sure that you must learn something from it. small or big learnings must do. So for the next time you gamble you must know what will you do.

actually you have to accept some facts about gambling to be able to move forward with your life and not get addicted to it.

you have to accept that there is no life in gambling, and there is no consistent profit in gambling. only the house wins so either stop gambling or choose a game that doesn't need you to bet against the house and needs your skills to win.

Well, you were also right. We need to accept some facts in gambling for us to move forward and not get addicted in gambling. I think if you also learn something after you gamble it will also help you realise something. Smiley

Many people like to gambling and that is because you can have a lot of fun with it so that is really nice and you can even earn some money with it if you are lucky.
And people think that they can earn money in a fast way in gambling but that is actually not true.

If gamblers is addicted because of fun that is just alright because he will get boring when doing it regularly but it is a different story if you are addicted because of the money involved as you will never last in gambling.

Well, that's true, if you get addicted because of fun, you'll get bored sooner or later (like me). But if it is your way of earning, I think you would bury your self in debts or if not, you will go home and your family is gone. Gambling is really addicting when you give it a time and you know that you have already capitalized a lot in it.

gambling is very makes people become addicted, either in having fun and making money fast. I am sure very many people in this forum that many make money from gambling, I guess they have their own way to win in gambling. but, I think if you can do it while having fun, the gambling will be a game very highly addictive

i think why gambling is so addicting because of easy money because gambling can make your money doubled in one second
while playing but i think the frustrating part in gambling if you lose a lot of money you want to take it back in that way you can
be addicted in gambling.

Once you've entered gambling you've also entered a risky game. And we all want to win in our every game right but we all know that in gambling there is always a victory and defeat. And once you've always defeat in your every game you need to stop immediately. You can pick of the two either stop or continue, so if gambling  starting ruin your budget try to think of it. Stop or continue? Pick what you think is the best for you.

yeah greedy sense to continue to play and earn more profit will make you become an addict.

That's very common, feeling excitement is not a sign of addiction cause all people feel excitement whenever they win. The anxiety whenever you lose and still want to play is one of the symptoms that you might have addiction.

That is just human nature when you feel like you wanna avenge your losses but what is more important in gambling is we should know when to stop fighting especially when we are fighting for a battle where our chance are very low and that is gambling.

The eager or greed to win makes gambling so addicting. That's why i i always play for a short time.
Getting addicted is a big fear of me. I don't want to ruin my life.
