Gambling is something that appeals to most of us , kinda look good food appeals to most of us. Sometimes it is so addictive we don't want to stop gambling. Like food if you addicted you will get fat so you stop both these addictions the same way. It is in the mind. It will take some time but you can get over it. You must know when you have had enough and never have too much if a good thing.
Wen can stop playing gambling there are chances that we really want to earn more profits than we desire, You can't really compare gambling into food things eating is mainstream we need to ate everyday . Aiming is one of the problem here being desperate to earn but people know when to stop when they are winning then they can descipline there selves to not addicted into gambling.

Gambling is addicting because it touches one of the human weaknesses-greedness.
As everytime you win some you will want to earn more,even if you just won the lottery of a million dollar.
And if you lose you will most likely keep gambling and you will promise to yourself that you will stop when you get back the money you lost.

Yeah, gambling is not their enemy but themselves when gambling. Either they win or lose they still gamble because of the huge price or jackpot in it. They think it is their ticket of getting rich from it. Even if they already win, because they win it in gambling not from hard work, they lose their winning fast.

The hope of hitting the jackpot and winning some big amount with gambling is making the people falling into addiction with it.

Because no matter what happens and how many lose they will experience as long as they are hoping and believes that there is a shot that will be able to ascend and recover all their losses.

They will keep on gambling and makes them more addicted to it when they already experienced that shot of winning.

There is not like when to stop in gambling because those thinks are good to write and talk but in reality it is almost impossible to implement for most of us. We always realize only after losing all our money so it is good to play only for fun instead making money out of gambling.

Absolutely correct, Actually, we all are greedy especially for money. Because we want to earn money in a fast way, and when we saw gambling is best way to give us money in a short time, than we play it and always we play because we want to win in it, and in this way, we forget that gambling is a risky and also continuously, we play it than we don't see that we became addicted person.

There are only two reason why gambling is so addicting, First you can win money and second reason is because gambling is good for leisure.

If you just go for the pleasure, there is no addictiveness of a gambling game because pleasure is brought through eating candy as well, but do you see people using their entire life sayings on candies as well? No. Because there is no "profit" from eating candy.

There might be a potential payoff for people who gamble, and this is why they are addicted. They are attracted by that potential payout.

I really love your analogy mate about candy in relation to gambling and I totally agree with that. We should only gamble for fun, entertainment, or pleasure and not aimed at profiting from it because at the end of the day, we are going to make any profit especially if we just gamble randomly.

Aiming with profit in gambling is not going to be effective in the long run. It can be effective for a short amount of time, but in the end that will lead you to regret that move. And that is making people addicted with gambling if they are aiming with profit too much because of that it is leading them in too having a lot of lose.

I could not agree more with you mate. It is always a good feeling to just gamble for fun and not profit. Of course, only gamble a certain amount of money that you can really afford to lose - think of it as just like watching movie, you enjoy watching movie even though you cannot get back the money you get from buying the movie ticket.

Gambling is addicting because it is a way for you to earn money without any skills required. Unlike other methods of earning money, you need to have qualification and knowledge, gambling dont. However, they dont want to know that gambling also make you lose instead of win.
It's a way for us to earn easy money but it's also easy to us to lose it and donate it to the owner of the gambling website i don't have actually skill when playing in gambling and im just depending on my luck i don't need to be a qualified player or good knowledge to start gambling. Gambling is more about triggered when loosing we are going to chase it that's why.

Nice! I do agree on you. Like watching a movie you should enjoy while watching it because you know you cant get back your money anymore so just like gambling enjoy playing while you know that you can loose your money from it. Enjoy that is the important thing

Watching movie and playing gambling are two different things you can not compare this two because it is most different in enjoying the movie and enjoying the bets on gambling, while watching movies you can surely enjoy it to the fullest and most enjoyable part are the ones that you really want to watch the most and you will pay for watching the movies but never expect a return in watching it, while in gambling you would use money while expecting something will return to you.

People always in the illusion that they can earn easy money with gambling but in fact, they money they lose is higher than the money they can earn. I believe that gambling also requires skill and experience like other jobs. However, there aren's many players realize this and most of them keep gambling without thinking about learning other skills or experience from other players. And due to this fact, they can easily get addicted to gambling

The two reasons really describe the state of gamblers when they gamble. their hope is to win gambling besides it any way they could relax the gambling play. but hope they will be a threat to their lives if these expectations do not correspond to the reality experienced gamblers.

Gambling is addictive because the though that comes to your mind is money. The possibility of warning if you let out money. It's easy money. When you think about it, the more money you let out, the more possibility you can win. But that's not always the case because the house has an edge against players, but that "Thought" is what makes it addicting. That's what I think about this discussion.

Well, if you really wanna play against the house edge then you will lose in the long run, that will be addicting since you are losing and will never success. You should choose your battle and just select games where you think you have a great chance of winning and that is not a gambling games which has a house edge for that matter. It's addictive since we are challenge and we keep on experimenting method to win but still we are not getting the right method.

There are only two reason why gambling is so addicting, First you can win money and second reason is because gambling is good for leisure.
I dont know whether gambling is a good leisure ,but if you are rich and have a big bank balance then it makes sense to make gambling as your leisure hobby Cheesy Winning money through gambling is not a easy task so forget about that Smiley
