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.

Gambling should be treat as a form of entertainment. If you are too focus on getting the desire outcome, the house edge will always get to you and make you loss. Please dont give in to the temptation to bet a huge amount. This will instead make you loss even more to a point of time where the losses are too huge to be possible to recover.

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.
And a greedy person gets addicted even more quickly, because he thinks that if he gets lucky he can make a lot of profit. While the fact i that when you think more of winning you get more loss.
I personally feel that gambling addicts mainly because we never accept our losses and be quite, instead we chase losses.

When we loss, we will tend to bet bigger and we lose more. The reason we lose is due to house edge, so what makes you think you can have a higher chance of winning when you bet bigger? You will still end up losing due to house edge in the long run regardless of how much you are betting. For winners, the greed will consume them as they will play more and as we all know, the house edge will ensure that they lose in the long run. So by betting more, they are trending towards the negative value and their profit will slowly erode away.

Statistic has shown that if you manage to win when you go to casino for the first time, it is more likely that you will be addicted to it as compare to people who lost on their first time. Peer pressure also come in as a major factor so if you have many close friends who often go gambling, you will also likely to join them and gamble often.

That is why the casino will keep advertising that some of their games, especially the jackpot can allow you to win up to 100k$ and each bet is only a few dollars. With such a small amount and such a huge payout, a lot of people will be tempted by it. And that is why real life casino have a lot of jackpots and a lot of the people are playing there.

Partially correct and you have a point, emotion do give  big effect when we are playing gambling, same as you said  if you intend to play at first place then you suffer loss for sure you would definitely  dont like to play again and opposite to those who won  in their first game fur sure they would  to play more and thats the time they get hooked into gambling.

but with the low chance it is looks like not fair but actually it is fair.
for example 1000 people played and bet $10 each , the 999 is losing and 1 person only who win the $10x999.
gambling always like that, annoying when lost but pleasing when you won. and it is make gambling addictive game.

I all comes down to the thrill of winning.
If someone solely says they are completely into it for the money they are lying because with out that high after winning a large bet that is like crack and it keeps you wanting more. The money you win is just a bonus on top of taking the risk in your bets. Grin

How about losing, I think one reason also why gambling is addicting is because we lose more often than we win. We will come back to play because we are making such method or what we called a certain strategy to improve our winning percentage in gambling.

This why people are into gambling and becomes addicted into it. And the hope of winning big money with it for just small capital is very possible at all but at very low chance. And even they will going to lose big amount of it what comes to the mind of the people is that they have a chance to win bigger pot at it if they are not going to stop.

If that is your mentality in gambling, you will never win because it is about chances, the little your bankroll your chance of losing is high. If you are interested with the money you better be serious and to be serious you set up a decent amount of bankroll that will give you a big chance and will enable you to stay in the game for a long run.

Having a bigger bank roll would give you some advantage because you could  adjust your bettings but still you could stop the risk of losing your money and thats reality. Greediness would not give you any good thing if  you keep trying to aim those thing that is nearly impossible to achieve.

But I would say that is not a recommended thing to do that you are going to allot bigger bank roll at all because it can lose your control.

And you are going to be confident at all even you are going to be in a losing streak still that is going to lose all of it.

Maybe losing is making the gamblers very addicting at all.

Well, if you have a problem with self control then you are not good in gambling and your big bankroll will be at risk. But I know those who are willing to provide a good amount of bankroll they have already evaluated themselves that they can manage their emotions so they are more serious in their journey of making money.

There are  people who can really control themselves  especially when do thet play gamble because they  were those people who experienced already  on  playing  or as we called  gambling  veterans. Bank roll play important  when you play gamble it really  depends on how you manage  it and dont let your emotion ruin your game.

It takes a lot of experienced before you learn how to control yourself in gambling, with that being done well, you have a great chance to succeed in making money. Although it is a hard venture but it is doable with strong discipline and proper bankroll management. Selecting the type of gambling is the key where you can use your skills and knowledge.

yes mate just getting some big wins will change our life because of that easy win we will keep on going back and keep trying our luck resulting to gambling addiction and it is really hard to accept that we are already into it, sad but true controlling our self is just coming out on our mouth but if we are already playing we still greedy ending up to lose more.

It's addictive cause in your mind you think you can win alot of money and they always make it seem super attractive on those gambling sites, so really its not your fault its the human mind being addicted to this kind of stuff lol

I agree with you. Gambling can make you rich in a second and it's become addicting if you win an easy money on gambling and you want more. Gambling is always make people become addictive.
It is addicting if you let your emotions control you. Gambling is really enjoyable especially when you win but there are also lots of people out there that they just see gambling as an entertainment and not to gain profit.
