Why is gambling so addicting?

[Xenophoto]

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.

Yes, it is a good way to get entertained and meet people with the same interest but it's definitely not a good way to earn money and saying that gambling is the best thing to do to entertain people is an overstatement.

There are other things in life that can entertain us much more and would just cost the same as the money you lost in gambling. For example, climbing a mountain with your friends and doing some camping would be much enjoyable. Experiencing things that you have never experienced before is much better than repeatedly experiencing the joy of gambling.

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

What do you mean deceive though? If you're playing poker, probably deception will be a skill you can use to win. But, what if you're playing online gambling games like Bitcoin Dice? Will you be able to deceive the computer?

Playing in poker will give you a good chance of winning because it's a skilled based games and it has no housed edge. On the other hand, dice is very risky game in gambling if you prefer to make money it, the outcome is fast but your skills is useful as it is a luck based games.

The thing you need in playing dice online is to be able to create a pre planned bets that you will just follow no matter what the streak of winning and losing. You must also create many sessions and divide your bankroll appropriately to the number of sessions you've created. There are many things you can do as well with the game of dice online.

yeah agree with you all, because of our greedy so gambling make us addicted
fun reason on gambling is not true reason for gambling make us addicted
because gambling is risk activity, but sometimes risk activity is funny thing for some peoples

There is some reasons which make gambling so much addictive things the more we get greedy than we lost the control and thinking that kind gambling is very easy way to make money for our needs, so this kind of behavior is really risky and that is why we get addicted to this.

We think it's going to be easy to win every time. It's a false idea but we got it in our mind and cannot get rid of it very easy. It's very addictive too, of course.. But this false idea gets us greedy each time.

It is really not easy to win each time you play gambling, it is always depend of a game, if the game is more on strategy and you know how to play it then for sure you can earn money in a short time, but once that you just have to rely on your luck it will be hard for you to win the game.

We should choose a game that we can use our skills and that our strategy is very important, with that we can increase our winning percentage and we may end up winning in the long run. When you are using a strategy and you stick with it for sure you are not prone to being addicted in gambling.

Most gamblers that are prone to addiction are those gambling purely with their emotion and no specific strategy at all.

I agree with that, I also recommend that if gamblers know how to really play gambling games that is only uses pure strategy there are the ones who always winning money because they uses strategy.

Gambling is addictive because when you win the "reward" will make yourself happy thus making you bet more but even if you are losing ,your mind is overtaking yourself to think that your still in control of the game even if its not. It is like drugs that when you use big amount your body can tolerate it and it is the same with gambling when you always gamble its hard to stop your mind will find that chemical or thrill when you stop and will cause a withdrawal.

I think so it's really hard to understand for addictive person to make on losing streak, actually mind always say that we can make comeback and will get succeed to take back all of our loses from that casino, this behavior indicate about addiction of gambling.

That's says money is the root of evil and according to a proverbs "greed gives rise to selfish or wicked actions" , wicked actions is when we know that we surpass our threshold limit but still trying our luck to win , after losing our mind will be foggy or not concentrated at all and our personal life will be affected as well.

To be precise, not money is the root of all evil but the LOVE of money is the root of all evil things. And that is not even in the proverbs but in 1 Timothy 6:10

That is the people's mindset that if they gamble they can have a very big profit as they gamble but it becomes wrong in the long run.

Instead of winning, they are recovering their loses that tends them to become more addicted.

Wow! I thought we are just talking things about gambling addiction here, we are extending too much on biblical discussion. Remember that we do not have the same religion here it might create further discussion which would make us off topic. Please stick to the topic..

I think even if some other people have been using some biblical term here I think it is not really that bad and he is still sticking with the topic of addiction well even if you are saying that there are other religion in this thread and I think you are saying that we should separate religion and the topic about drugs, I think he can not separate the topic about the faith of other people and that is base on their own knowledge, especially addiction towards gambling is a problem here and people with these kind of state needs caring and counseling from other people especially a prayer just might help!

Uh well it may help i think but hey even if prayers and counselling may be in a way help, it still would depend on how bad the person wants to quit. Gambling gives a satisfying feeling when you're playing and when you're winning. I think this is what's keeping people coming back

Well you may never know the power of a certain prayer and most of the time when a person has been given a bigger problem on his life then that would be the only time he will seek GOD, but we are truly sinful in our ways that is why there will be a large number of people that are addicted to gambling that would try not to think about GOD and carry on his sinful ways and getting with his lust, greediness, and the more pleasure there is they would just cling to that!

Still, people who are addicted to gambling because they think that in their greed for wealth gambling would generate more wealth.

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.

not everything , only some that really addictive. there is drugs which well known as the most addictive things , addiction come to you when you have a high frequency on repeating certain activity , in this case gambling.

so i guess gambling just like drugs in term how both addictive .

While we're frequently going for gambling ? Because, we get attracted to its fake promises like getting a bright future from it.

The delusional images of gambling is the prime reason why we are keep on going back into gambling. As long as people are believing in to gambling's attraction of making profits, it will remain addictive.

I don't think they are fake promises.  It is just some twist but if you win, they will give you the amount you win.  So where is the deception in it?  But yes I agree with you that they somehow make people addicted to it by giving them an opportunity to win a huge sum of money which the gamblers wanting and hoping to win.

Usually those who are addicted are those desperate people, they think gambling is just the easiest way to make money as if you are lucky you can win as much as you want in  gambling, but they forget that in the long run we still lose. If we play for fun and we accepted our chances we will never be addicted, but if we play the other way sure we will.

addiction was caused because someone needs the excess, besides that there is also a sense of dissatisfaction factor will work as well as the greed that is owned by someone. as long as someone needs it has not materialized so addicted to gambling will increase because of gambling always provides hope for every play.

Excessive gambling makes you addicted and other situation as well that will make you addicted is when you are in desperate need of money and you want to be rich is a faster way, surely you will think gambling that it's the way but when you are in the position to do it, most of your experience are failure that's why you keep coming back.

Gambling is addicting because money is involved in it. And most people wants to get rich instantly without working hard for it. They think gambling is their gateway for it. They get addicted because they are not contented when they win and get greedy until the end they just lose.

That's could be the reason, the gambler with a lazy ass are in gambling to make money and not to have fun. It's apparent that it is really hard to win in gambling but still they have tried their best to win in gambling and without knowing they are already addicted in gambling.

Money are involved in it and that is obvious, but what do you say about people that are losing all the time. Addiction is more about adrenaline that is coming when they bet.

Still, people who are addicted to gambling because they think that in their greed for wealth gambling would generate more wealth.

Because people now have no utter fear for GOD, they just not include him in their works, and yes if you would read the scriptures gambling is totally ban in it but as the world now that there are atheist that don't believe in GOD, and an Anti Christ that rejects Jesus as lord revolves around now that is why many people just go on with their sinful things that they think it is OK cause many people are doing it.

Gambling is just so addicting because of the fact that you can win money at the first place and because its a game and games can be highly addictive if you play them for a while and you find them enjoying.

Yes I agree to your statement but wanting for sure that is it is refers to money. Money is the root of all evil that is why people wants to gamble to have more money even if gamble is a sin. Gamble can destroy your life if you are addicted because it is refers to your financial stability in the future.

Money is just a currency or a legal tender that we can use, if you will look and believe that money is the root cause of all evil then it is not good to seek for the money, but money gives us freedom to do things that we want and it is known to us that there are things that are illegal and might harm us, so I believe that it is just right to call that we are only person controlling our future and it we will use money wisely we will not be able to call it as the root cause of all evil.

How can you can is just a currency we are using money every day for our physical needs and for in internet we are using our money to live every day and we can't really live without money yes we can live but we are going to die if we don't eat foods. Money is a root cause of all evil in the world money can buy lives and money can do everything if you have lots.

Money is the root cause of all evil in this world but we are not evil, we want to use our money in a proper way to survive in this world. We want more money because we are not yet contented of our income now and since gambling give us an opportunity to win so we try it.

It's all the root of cause of all eveil in this world and money can buy anything and if you are lot's of money you can do anything you want in this world all thing you want to do. But there are some good people who using there money for proper to survive and to use it on there own business.

It is because the part of your brain associated with winning in gambling are your dopamine receptors. They are responsible for pleasure, and also addiction.

[marcuslong]

Gambling is just so addicting because its so fun to do and you can also fun, these two factors are making it so enjoying and nice.
I really think 80% percent of the addicts is addicted because of this.

Gambling is not all about fun and you can do is fun in gambling you need to work it out your money just don't lose all your money you need to enjoy on that thing because in gambling you have the choices if you are going to play more or just stop once you lose or win.
