I stopped gambling when i took a big loss, once you experience a huge loss you are too depressed to ever gamble again, so maybe that is what you need, to experience a big loss and spend an entire month feeling like shit.
Yeah i've been through it, it was the most horrifying thing happened to me. i couldn't eat/sleep, i kept thinking about my losses for many days. although i still gamble like once in months.(with extremely small amount)
This is important if you consider gambling as entertainment, you will not be too concerned about the defeat. I myself play gambling to have fun, loss go away, without being distracting thoughts.

That is the right thing to do, play it for fun with a small amount that you can afford to loose, so even if you loose it should not affect your financial status.

Hello
Gambling is addicting because of the fact that we see one in thousand people win the jackpot and become rich and hence we want to try our luck too. Most cases the person loses a lot and becomes a beggar. So its not good to get addicted rather play for fun and not to earn. Gambling is not a good investment (not even an investment) rather its a total loss.
hit the jackpot every day is an impossible thing to happen. luck to get a very small chance. you better rethink to invest in gambling.
True, that is too impossible, but trying your luck everyday can also help you to win the jackpot price that you wanted. But if you win that is possible to happen in just one time, so don't expect that you can win often. If that time happens that you can win in that day, accept it and don't waste another day to gamble again because for sure if you try again to get that jackpot you can just definitely lose what you have won.

Yeah it might be able to minimize your chances of getting an addiction. Gambling is indeed very dangerous for those who use gambling for want of profit, because the mind will bring up greed and finally they get addicted

It is not always obvious when someone is addicted to gambling. When people are in financial ruin and can only solve their problems by gambling what little they have in an attempt to get a large sum of money.

yes when they were financially ruined, then gambling addiction, their life will be ruined.
but this also applies to people who have good financially, if addicted to gambling, they could be ruined financially.

Yes gambling addiction can ruin anyone no matter how rich a person can be its a that kind of addiction that it can make a rich people poor.
i think its the greediness than results in destruction of people,because richer people wants to become more richer and if they loose they want to cover their losses.And this addiction ends up destroying the gamblers life.

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?

Gambling becomes addicting when you win something in it, and then you always gamble for winning more but that does not happen everything but later even if you lose you wont stop because you have already become addicted to it.

yes, some people say that gambling can ruin their lives. however, if we can limit our reliance upon gambling it can be avoided. we need to be calm and think smart in taking any action. we could become rich by gambling !!

Gambling is so addicting because the player is enjoying the game at the same time they are earning, despite of the high percentage of losing their money.
pleasure presented by gambling game is the only momentary pleasure. there are many ways to get pleasure without having to feel the loss that much. The pleasure we can get from trading because it is better than gambling.

The fun of the fact that you earned the money and you can imagine that it is one thing to buy, and the pleasure of gambling, it is akin to drug addiction. And this is a big difference and I do not think you need to explains what's what.

Gambling is addictive for many reason but I will talk about one what is more interesting to me. Gambling gives hope of winning or making lot of money quickly. Many people start for fun but then they begin to consider it best way of making money.This is point which turn it into addictive. What we practice more and like more make us addicted to that and gambling does same. Even if we loose we keep playing in hope to win a lot at some later point by hitting once big. This makes gambling addictive what is its nature.

I do not think that a large percentage of players who have taken to earn a lot of money, win them. Always gets the casino, not the game. You need to have not just luck when you sit down at the gaming table.

That is a big problem my friend when you have that kind of attitude that you will not accept any defeat, in gambling there are only two outcome which are the win or lose and we have to accept that because that is the reality. It is just important that you have more wins than loses to make profit cause nobody wins all the time even the house.

you are absolutely right, even if sometimes i've myself heading toward that kind of behavior but after few expensive reality checks, it makes you drop from your cloud and realising that you can't beat the house.

I think not all greedy people might have a chance to get addicted in gambling, those who are also greedy but at the same time they don't want to lose their money because of their greediness and also because they are miserly, they scared also of losing money in gambling. So I think it is also depend of a person on how they can handle their money.

Gambling can make a life ruined if they don't know how to handle themselves and also how to handle their money or personal money, if they will play gambling make sure they just use the money that is really intended only in gambling, and if you don’t do this kind of strategy your money will really dangerous for it, cause once you've enter gambling there is always a possibility that we can lose money.

Trading and gambling both is sure can give us some fun but the point playing on trading you really need huge amount to get more profit and it will make you feel joy. But in gambling you can win like a lot of money that instant, but it has high risk. And why people cant get addicted in trading because the traffic make us hard to earn money but in gambling you can really earn it fast if you are lucky

I actually do not get fun in trading because for me that is a serious thing and you need to study the market in order to profit, while in gambling you need to just rely on your luck sometimes and just play the game you like. Personally, I love sports betting and dice, so it gives me more entertainment.

Gambling is addicting in the sense that its an entertainment thing and  it gives chills and excitement every time we  win on such games or even  in losing times.  Addiction would be developed if you play continously and  dont mind  if you gain or lose out all of your money. Gambling addiction is  a problem in most gamblers out there.
