its like a drugs. you it can broke you, but you ignore the risk you can get when you get some profit.
success on gambling is only for they who ready for the risk.
which is correct only who can afford to risk will make some big wins, and that's the reason why many of us got addicted because we are aiming big wins without realizing that we are already addicted and its getting harder to go out from it.
We aim big but we do not have enough bankroll, that is one of the reason why we are addicted we are not playing gambling very wise and we are too ambitious even with lack of resources to do so.


Well yeah being ambitious is making gambling addicting. Because we are hoping that we are going to earn big with gambling if we are going to stick with it. Even we are going to lose we are still sticking to it and we are going to keep on playing as long as we are hoping and waiting for the big win. That tends to addiction.

You have a point, that ambition or aim to gain or win big profits  on  gambling would  really pursue you to continue  playing even you already experiencing such big loss of amount. THats why we must not  intend or aim  to be rich directly or   hoping for the jackpot when we are playing gambling because it wont  give you anything good.
Most of the gamblers have that in their mentality, they tend to start to having fun first but later on they become greedy until such time they are interested in making money, they do not know that while do are becoming more greedy they have the big chance of losing.

Part of what makes gambling incredibly addicting is also the belief that you can earn whatever you've lost back from just gambling a few more times, and this feeling is specifically reinforced if you have won once or twice in the past and walked away with money, or had more in their account than what they started with.

it simply, a dissatisfaction in the play, where there is no end point. When we lost we can not accept the loss money, and wanna got pull-back them, but we can't take it and hope for gambling and lucky.

Because gambling will give you satisfaction if you win, and will make you curious if you lose.

Exactly, gambling is going to give you happiness whenever you are going to win to it. And once you have experience the essence of winning.

You are going to look after into it and you are going to have the feelings that you want to feel and win it again and again.

That is why people are getting back into gambling and becoming addicted.

Most of the gamblers are happy to win money in gambling, but that is not the right way to be happy as surely you will lose in the long run. If you really wants to be happy in gambling do not matter on the money and focus on the fun that gambling would bring unto you, you have the option to play all kinds of gambling game to add up the excitement.

True bet someone will continue to seek victory. If someone lost a bet he is unsure if he's going to get a victory, so he will bet again, if they win they will be happy and bet again to double his advantage and he gambled again. If someone is looking for an advantage in gambling will cause addiction so I think it should be avoided.

That is true, I became addicted with gambling when I have taste good winnings. That's why I keep on gambling because I know that I can win again and again so I don't think about my loses even though I am losing already big amount I am keep on playing again and again for the hope of victory. But I am not noticing that I am already an addicted one.

Risk and Reward are both things that get you exited and get your adrenaline going. They stop logical thinking and you need to stay on top of that. I sometimes consider betting a small amount on a gambling site but I can make myself stay away from it by saying

"Even if I win this 1 BTC bet, I will still have lost 0.01 BTC because that's how much the expected loss is. I might as well have flushed 0.01 BTC down the toilet."

To me gambling wins aren't even real money, 99% of people lose them again very quickly anyways. No matter whether you win or lose, the real amount you lost is the expected loss and in the long run your loss will always be the same as your expected loss.
I dont think that there are allot of people interested into gambling addiction because they dont know that theey are addicted and dont listen to their friends anymore so when you see something like this help your friens.

the more people addicting in gamble, the more hard they got to listen their friends to quit gambling. its hard problem and its need more than just friends to help that person, its really need their family and if its necessary, we should call psychiatrist to help this person too and put this person into rehab programs.

I believed, what you had just said is too much,

Gambling addiction doesn't need that much psychiatric attention,
It is not like an addiction to drugs and alcohol,

Friends, relatives, and different hobbies is enough to help a person addicted to gambling pull away from its addiction.

its just because of a possibility to win big money in a short period of time

Yeah, it's called greed if to say it in one word. So the answer is don't be greedy, play for fun only, do not mind losing a small amount without trying to recover and gambling will not hurt you.

There are many reasons why people get addicted to gambling, some are here just for adrenaline, others think they will get profit if they will continue playing. Second type is worst, these people can easily lose all their money and fall into debt just to gamble more.
that's their wrong, to fall into debt just to gamble is not good. Gambling is just really not important at all in our life. This is just for an entertainment so why to fall into debt just to gamble.

Its the addiction or you may call it the ego and pride. They losed, then they want to get it back but it goes the otger way again. They come losing again until they want to loan being buried with debts.
And now their pride is not helping them. And I think you are right that their pride is their main problem so that they became buried in debt. If they continue doing it they will just also continue buried themselves in debt.

Well criticism can also be a way to let players want more over gambling, criticizing it can lead many players in curiosity and a positive feedback about something is not the only attention people would be magnetized in it there are negative once that would lead certain people to get curious over a thing we should talk about both because it could lead to a better understanding about addiction.

Very precise, but the wealth it brings will only give something a bad thing for our lives. Because of the wealth that we get in the gambling will certainly be used for things that are negative or are used for gambling with a more extreme way and worse than before. addiction is always owned by gamblers

Because gambling will give you satisfaction if you win, and will make you curious if you lose.

Exactly, gambling is going to give you happiness whenever you are going to win to it. And once you have experience the essence of winning.

You are going to look after into it and you are going to have the feelings that you want to feel and win it again and again.

That is why people are getting back into gambling and becoming addicted.
True bet someone will continue to seek victory. If someone lost a bet he is unsure if he's going to get a victory, so he will bet again, if they win they will be happy and bet again to double his advantage and he gambled again. If someone is looking for an advantage in gambling will cause addiction so I think it should be avoided.
That's the problem, its called as chasing your losses when you try to recover losses and testing your luck when you try to keep winning more and more. These two things have probably spoiled every gambler sine they have no reason to quit gambling, when they loose they want to recover and when they win they want to continue.

Huh, maybe this is also one of the reasons to addict new people to gambling. Off course, if somebody is making a profit in anything means that will attract other people very soon. Like that others win may lead new people to addict gambling.

Especially those who has won the jackpot or so, the casino will make sure that they will advertise extremely so that everyone who came into the casino will know about it. In this way, it will let you believe that it is possible to be the next one to win the jackpot and you will end up playing more and more for that hope.
