Why is gambling so addicting?

[john2231]

When you winning , you think that you can do it every day , but when you strarting losing  you trying recover you loss  by depositing more , more  and more, then when you will recovered your loss (if it's will happen) , you continue betting till you will not back to step 2...and then again same...circle

I think this is not the real reason why gambling is addicting for me if you happy while you are gambling it can trigger you to be addicted.
Just like when we are playing like dota 2 or league of legends for me in my experience if i am entertain and happy with this game it makes me addicted and daily brings me happiness.. it is just like gambling that if you entertain and happy it makes you addicted. if you are just thinking that gambling is the easy way of making money i think you will not addicted instead you are thinking to recover and chase your loses. its mean that you are addicted..

For sure it's a different form of addiction, to be addicted in online gaming is not so serious as you will not lose to much money with more time but in gambling if you do it regularly you will absolutely lose more money than you expected.

your explanation is the best explanation here for me. I agree with this, when you win your bet, you will want to win it again, then you betting again. And when you loss, you will betting again because you are curious.

and that's the bad practice knowing that the cycle will not favored you is not a good idea but you are correct and its start being so addicted because of the fact that you want to win or you just simply wants to recover your loses.

So true. That's the dilemma of those people whose trying to bounce back for their loses and most of them are not very successful but still trying to gamble and that's the reason why they become so addictive in to gambling and it's really hard for them to quit that simple.

Gambling is addicting because it gives you entertainment and pleasure. You play a game where in you always aim to win the great prize.
Play-entertainment
Pleasure-prize. It is one's way of comforting himself. Since people find it enjoyable to play, they use it to escape their problems, trials and struggles. They sometimes use it as an opportunity to gain more money. So they keep on trying/playing to win.

Gambling is not only pleasure and entertainment but can give more income and same like oxygen for life. Gambling can't make rich but gambling is one way of peoples make job opportunity.

Can you specify what job opportunity we are talking here? From what I know, people loses their job because of gambling.

In gambling industry also have careers. The United States is home to just under 1,000 properties described as casinos, racinos, card rooms, electric bingo parlors, casino host slot supervisor, security guard and more. For salary start from $20/h up to $200,000/month.

oh, $200,000/month is good amount.
I want start careers in gambling.. how do it?

That's true because many gamblers tend to think that if they will gamble they can win a very big amount of money. But in the end, they are just becoming wrong about it and they are losing very big amount with it. So they don't have choice but they will just aiming to recover their losses and in the long run that makes them addicted.

that's true , and I guess that is the most common reason why there's so many people getting addicted to gambling . in attempt of going to gambling just to earn or multiply their money but they just end up losing and for the second time they are attempting to recover their they are going back and playing again believing that they can retrieve it but end up losing again until the it became constant .

Winning also could keep you coming back to gambling, when you win the first time, you would think that there is really a future in gambling so you would start to invest in your bankroll and start your journey, if you fail, you would just try again thinking that you are not "lucky" that day and maybe tomorrow you will be... In short, the "euphoria" or the nadir and zenith of your gambling experience is what ties you to it...

The desperation of making money is one of the reason why people are in gambling, majority of the small gamblers wishes to have their fortune in gambling and if we based on chances it's almost impossible but they have the high hopes of making that realize.

If many people are addicted for sure many people will lose in gambling. I have not seen any gambler that has been addicted who made a testimony that it's good to be addicted as he can make profits in gambling, all of them share a bad experience.

If gamblers always win, the gambling addiction would not be bad, right? In the long term all players need to lose. We can easily count that or just think logically - House edge must always be> 0%. However illusory desire to win makes players still waiting for jackpot..

To gamble in the long term doesn't mean you will become an addicted gambler.
It is depends on how you treat gambling , for money? High chance you will become addicted indeed.
But if you take it easy and treat gambling as an ordinary hobby to get entertained , everything will just fine if you want to gamble forever!

I think gambling is so addicting because of the fact that you get the feeling of excitement every bet you make, people gets more addicted when they are winning lot of money and also gambling is one way to spend time and forget about problems. But the longer you gamble the higher the risk that you can lose your money.

That's normal because when you love something you are likely to get addicted with it. Gambling is very entertaining at the start for gamblers who does not have the ability to control themselves, but in the end they will suffer big loses due to negligence on their part.

It's just advisable to evaluate yourself if you have the capacity to enjoy in a every risky game like gambling. You might lose everything you have..

This is the best answer why gambling is very addicting especially for those certified gamblers that can't live if they won't gamble for a day.

And their hope for getting good amount of profit as they gamble daily and thinking that it won't be recovered by the house makes it addicting.

But those people are very wrong with it, gambling is simply addicting because of this.

addiction is not only when you try to recover your losses. but the victory also can make you addicted.
so whatever the results we get, it always makes us addicted. especially if we are someone who always expect money from gambling, addiction was very easy. whereas if you have a job with a higher salary, it can still be controlled for not addicted to gambling and just play gambling for fun usually.
