Gambling is very addicting to people who wants to get entertained while having a chance to earn money or lose money. People just like a games with thrill and excitement. Gambling is the best thing to do to entertain people , earn money and meet fellow gamblers and be friends with them.

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Gambling is very addicting because of the fun that you can have with it, its nice to gamble and because you can win money and also just play the game its addicting.
Money is making people blind like in the most cases.
Money is the root cause of all evil if you are addicted with gambling, there's no way you can win in gambling if you are not too focus. You need to give time and once you are addicted you are not making a good decision and you rely only in your luck, we know luck will not give us a win in the long run.
I do not agree with the statment you said "you can win in gambling if you are not too focus".
Gambling is based on a pure luck,no matter what you are betting on,either sportsbook or a dice,it is still based on a pure luck,you dont need to be focused to win or unfocus,doesnt matter at all.
Sometimes you really win but it does not guarantee you to win in the long run. In a matter of time you will still lose, winning temporarily will only give you small winnings and you are happy temporarily but still you will end up losing big amount of money.
I think the fact that you can win some but always less than your losses is one of the strongest reasons of why gambling is so addictive since people are always chasing, trying to get their lucky day.

Its something that's been around since the beginning of human kind, its meant to be a form of entertainment people just take it to hard.
                                                                                                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                                                                                       
Yeah, it is supposed to be for entertainment purposes and not to take it too seriously. Some people take it too seriously and lose everything they have trying to get back their loses.

I suppose one of the main reasons is the illusion of getting rich quick and when you do win you think next time if I put in a little bit more then you will win more.  It is an addiction that is hard to kick for sure.

Yes, gambling should not be considered for serious purposes. But, all the gamblers are going for it for the serious process of making their bright future with it. It must be the prime reason for gambling addiction as it will give the hope of getting our bright future from it but it will never let us to realize that.

Until we understand the purpose of gambling, we will not leave the habit of treating it seriously.

The purpose of gambling depends on how we understand it, if we believe it's for entertainment then we have to enjoy but if we believe it's for giving us money then we should treat it as a business and we had to have a plan that we can use throughout our gambling career.

You understood the meaning of gambling wrongly. It is not like how we think because no plans or strategies will work in gambling to make profits on a regular basis. Only think can bring you money in gambling is luck, and without luck, no plans will work out. So don't try to earn money from gambling instead just enjoy the games once in awhile.

You need a plan to make you stop when you lose or win, that is a plan already and you need that in gambling, otherwise you will lose more money.

Addictions normally come to people who are already mentally weak in some form.
Also addictions seem to also be genetic, or weak behavior that was learned from a persons environment.

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?

Because it is refers to money. You know if there is an opportunity to grow your money you need to take a risk to that. For you to be able to get profit and income in the future. Which means there is a chance of winning and losing. And it is also good to know that you are here in gambling for play safe only.

You guys are talking about professional gambling. Not gambling for fun. If it's just for fun, then you don't do strategies. Just play it. Like when you play basketball. It may involve some sort of skill to play it, but it all boils down to just having fun.

Gambling is only addicting if you lose your mind trying get rich fast. I know we all are like that sometimes but it's bad to be like that all the time. It's bad for you, it's bad for your loved ones. Just think of it and stop being addicted forever.
its very simple to say it but it is really hard to do. we do gambling just for fun and not to become rich as fast as we wanted. We all know that gambling is not good for everyone. always put in your mind That gambling is just for fun or doing this in for a past time.

when I won a little amount, I want to won more until I lost more
Thats a common result when gamblers are playing simply because you cant win in the long run. Thats why some are betting like theres no tommorow because you only win few times most of your gambling carreer. They like to recover all their losses and win big in one time.

That is hard to do because the bigger you bet, the bigger amount you lose. So, trying to win back your losses is hard to achieve. It is better if you forget that altogether and focus on earning your money back thru honest work. Avoid gambling at all cost. You will have more money if you do not gamble.
very well said, It is good that other people think about how to save money and not how to spend their money in gambling not because they want to loose but they really want to get more money as they expected. Focus in your work and you surely you will get a good bonus from your company instead of gambling. hehehehhe  Grin

Work is boring and gambling is not, you will feel the thrill in gambling and the chance of winning a good amount that would give you a chance to completely quit your work is so tempting that is why many small gamblers have tried their luck and most of them failed.
that is not a good thinking. If you really love your work you will never get bored with it. Once you love your work. It will give back a good bonus with you and also you will get the trust of your workmate and also your boss! Smiley

Anything that allows you to win money easy way you will try even just one time, the human does like challenge and rewards, and if you mix them you will get the result, the potencial earnings anyone can get at gambling make us believe we will win those someday.

People want money for free, its as simple as greed. Everyone wants free money even if that is by rolling a few dice or spinning slots. Most of them dont even understand that they are losing more than what they win. Also the tempting advertisements and the hope to lead a more happy and rich life attract potential gamblers and get them addicted to it.

Gambling is so addicting because its very enjoying compared with other methods to gain bitcoin these days.
Its a game you are playing and due to that its addicting.

That's the real reason why gambling is very addicting, is that because the enjoyment and entertainment it can give for the gamblers.
And at the same time while enjoying, they have chance of getting some money but also higher risk of losing their money.

not all gamblers can experience addiction in gambling, because some are trying to ignore it and some control their betting and others were simply taking a look and then realizing how risky it is so they stop playing gambling to try other not risky stuffs.

I have friends who totally not interested in gambling and i have friends who keep going to gamble in real casino once every month. They even have to take a 8hr journey just to reach there and they still do it every month. So it is not a cup of tea for everyone but it is definitely an exciting activities for many people.
I think it is also depend of what they are playing, when you gamble you play a game right? and if the game if exciting, people that want to try their luck will bet to that game specially if the game is very exciting Smiley

Yup! there are certainly different motives for every gambler and we don't know what's going in the mind of every person who is gambling and not all people are getting addicted in gambling and not all are that serious when it comes to gambling and definitely not all have the same mind set when it comes to gambling.

It is not that gambling is such an addicting sport you know there are always people who dont want to gamble and also get addicted because money is everything for them and they want it back what is not strange.
And also the addicting part in gambling is actually of what you are playing.if the game is exciting to play then you will be going to play and play until you'll realize that nothing in your pocket was left. hehe. Grin Cheesy

Not only gambling but sex, drinking, even eating and pretty much everything we do in our lives are somehow addictions because after all we are the creatures of habits and we need to repeat things in order to give meaning to our lives, but sometimes some of these habits become harmful and even destroy our lives.
Gambling just like drugs produces chemical compound in our brain which results in a good feeling and that is why is addictive.

it's not a plan, it's more like you're just set your goal (let say, i'll stop when i reached 0.01 btc profit or i'll stop when i lossing 0.01 btc) and called it a day, it's just another way how to avoiding "being greedy"

The addicting part is that, when you are winning, you want more, and when you are losing you want to recover.
Haha, either way, you will play in a long time which is good for the gambling site, that's why gambling is designed for people to lose money. haha
yeah that's right. there are always a little percentage of winning in gambling. unless you know how to deceive them. then you will always be a winner in a game, and will go home with a lot of money. and HAPPY! hahahaha  Grin
