Why is gambling so addicting?

[icecube45]

Gambling is addictive because everyone thinks that it is easy and free money witha small risky. However, it is not zhe case here. Gambling has big risks, and you can not win if you gamble even after you win. You will end up throwing away all your money because you will think that it is possible to win again- but it is not very common to win in streaks.

Yes, it is true . Most people just think that gambling can make them rich very quickly.
but the reality is very difficult to play gambling. we must have good skills and luck to win every game.

maybe you're right. many think that with gambling you can make money in a very short time with a very small risk, even I also always thought that way. however, I think it is the thing that really makes people addicted, if it really happens, because it felt it would make you try to play it again many times. Well, I do recognize that gambling is a game that can make people addicted in a very long time

Yes it is very true. Which makes a person addicted to gambling because he thinks if the gamble can make money even with a high risk, and many are willing to take the risk. It would make a person continue to bet on the pursuit of victory so that it becomes an addiction, it is very harmful at all because it will make a loss even greater.

We all know there are risks, the actual mindset of a gambler is that he can win no matter if the odds are against him, a gambler once has lost suppose 10 bets and then when he makes 11th bet he think he has like 99% chance of winning it while he has just same 50% chance, that is the real problem.

And it is becoming a cycle for a gambler that with that kind of mindset. It is not new for a gambler to think that he can actually win after making himself in losing streak.

Because as we think that it is a game of luck, so when luck comes to us that will make another bet for us.

As we think that with just single win I can recover all those lose that I made for this day or even the whole week.

if at the beginning when he joined the gambling get a win, it's just a false victory, because with the win that will keep you constantly follow the gambling and the victory will not recur. with that, then the loss is what you will experience at any time following the gambling.

Not that it is a false victory but it was one part of gambling you saw, A WIN while there is another part of gambling which is in fact more probable and when that happens to us we are just annoyed and bewildered rather than that if we just forget that loss would be much better.

Not just they think gambling will make them rich in quick time plus they also think that if they loose they will win the next bet for sure. Its the basic and biggest problem, once I had a gambler in primedice saying that he has lost 7 bets and now the 8th bet is going to win for sure, and he was asking investment. Now you see the brain of gamblers.

It is like digging yourself into a hole. Then you say it wil be ok I can try to get out again and you dig the hole deeper and deeper and eventually you will not be able to get out and that is when real trouble begins. Though hopefully most lose to gambling just now and again and go in expecting to lose. Or the whales that like to make splashes.

Gambling is something i would avoid, but i do like the pleasure to risk some low ammount trying to reach a jackpot or atleast be able to win, i remember had gamble at some dice and i were with something like 500 satoshis above when i started, soo i were happy, but the bets were 1-10 satoshis, anyway i know we all dream with jackpots as well better odds to win.

Big problem having that kind of thinking, you are entering in the wrong road and making the wrong journey. True, that we can make money in gambling but to think it's easy? it's the opposite. LOL!

Take it from me, I have the experience for a long time, and not I am still consistent - LOSER!

Well now you see you are suggesting us while you are yourself not able to leave it like you said you are still a loser. Bother that's the problem with gambling that you know you are going to loose but still you always feel to gamble. I have the same type of problem but somehow i just gamble in a more controlled manner recently.

as every one like to make money in short period of time without much effort. so to them gambling is the ideal way of making money in short period of time but they do not know the fast that it is one of the most risky way of making money also, as the losing chance is gambling is 90% more that winning chances, but people always ignore the fact and they continue making money in gambling.

That is the modern thinking of people today, they are thinking if they will make gambling as their main source of income they can just easily earn good amount of money. And instead of aiming their goal what is happening is they are falling into the deceitful way of gambling. Letting a gambler win first and afterwards losing streak will happen.

The thing is not modern thinking are good for us, maybe for some they can exploit gambling and make money out of it but I am pretty sure majority of gamblers are losers, they keep losing but still they are still coming back in gambling and that is called gambling addiction.

True, majority of us are losers because we are playing a game where there's a house edge, with luck in our mind it will not give us success in the future. We can only enjoy for some time but believe me we still lose, so it's good to gamble in games where no house edge if we like to use our skills.

At least there's a chance in gambling to win compared to our vices in life, with our vices in life we will not earn on them but we will spend to have them. That's the big difference and if you do better in gambling you might won big amount of money then stop.

But what's the fun of spending your money to something that is neither giving you any good nor making your personality any better, rather its making you addictive and play it while you know you are loosing.
I think the basic reason behind addiction is that we can't stop it either on winning and neither on loosing.

[teilwalL05]

because it will make you curious. When you lose you will still try to gamble because you still want to know how does it feels if you win.
And when you win, you will feel happy and then want it once again, again, and again.

For me, it will always depend of a gambler of how they control themselves especially in terms of money, once that person doesn't care in his/her money or income then I guess he/she will lose huge money in gambling.

[daarul50]

discuss addiction there would be no end because addiction can not be stopped by anyone, the only one who can stop the addiction is to think people who have been affected by the addiction. so even with people who have been addicted to gambling, they can only stop if they could realize that gambling is risky for life.

Control is very important. It is the same as investment. It is not the TA or the FA that makes one become rich. It is the temperament that keep you in check to know that you are investing in the right direction.

Yes people who are addicted to gambling can not help by friends and relatives who gives special advise to make them stop in gambling. But the truth is no one can help them but only themselves.. they need to make a decision to leave gambling and go back to their own life.. it's a matter of their own will.

No, you are wrong. Most people think if with they can earn money by faster and easier with gambling. Gambling isn't difficult thing, all you need just your money and luck, if you are playing dice, just roll the number, simple as that. It's impossible to win every game even though you are an experienced gambler.

Sometimes people still gambling not only for easy money, cause if the reason is only for easy money people who try gambling will know how is hard to win in gambling, another reason and most reason for people still gambling is cause gambling fun activities, even you get lose and make you stress but thats just for a while after that you will start to gambling again

If people are getting stressed after losing money means they are not gambling for fun or entertainment. Because if you play for fun then people will not be stressed after losing money in gambling. If people are coming again after the stress means they want to recover back their losses, so they will, again and again, try their luck.

If people are getting stressed after losing money, i think there is some problem with their emotion.  At first they known that gambling will probably cost them to lose money.  They are very aware of it, but instead they got easily frustrated.  I would suggest if you are one of this, don't ever try to gamble because it may lead to gambling problem and may affect those who are around you.

exactly if you can't take your loses and if you cant control your self never ever play gamble it will wreck your life and it will not bring any good to you for those who find gambling as a sort of enjoyment i believe they know how to control their emotions and they can stop their self if its needed, so before playing make sure that you are equipped of presence of minds know when to stop when its needed to stop.

Even though you will remind those addicted gamblers a million times if they already lose a lot of bitcoins. It won't help them.

Because they have only one goal in their life and that is just to recover their losses. Even you will explain them that it will just pull them into losing more bitcoins.

Still they will stand into their own understanding that they need to recover it.

I think the way that they don't respond to your suggestions is because they are really addicted to gambling and their mind is clouded by the many loses they have receive and the many bitcoin they waste with it and time wasted, and people that are addicted to gambling they are not satisfied by their small winnings and betting has been part of their life that is why it is very hard to suggest something to them they wouldn't respond to you at all!

That's true.. these addicted to gambling are already deeply involved and loses a lot of money and they're chasing their loses thinking that it would return to them instantly.. and they really don't care anymore for what over people say and don't take advise from someone who cares for them.. its just that they really want to refund their lost money in gambling.

But they can not do that because it is already gone that is the consequence when you play gambling you can surely lost your money that fast and you will have a great regret in dealing with their emotions that is why they think that gambling is that simple and they could get something even if they are losing that much!

you are definitely correct mate.. when we lose all of our bankroll, most especially if it deals with a bigger bankroll, it really hurts.. then we tend to make a come back by depositing more money or bitcoin to chase that losses and the chain will keep going, we continue losing it all.. better stop when it is no longer fun!
