Why is gambling so addicting?

[Bitinity]

From my own position here, the only thing addictive is the part of winning then I am of the opinion that I will win again aside that, if I should lose successively and I have even reached the level I won't go beyond, then I am stopping immediately to come another day and try my luck there. Winning is the only addictive part and nothing else.

Both winning and losing makes people get addicted. Winning, as you said it may lead us to play again and again because the feeling of winning. Losing, it makes us try to recover our previous loses which lead us to play more till we can recover loses even though in fact we will only lose more when we try to recover loses.

Yeah you're right. Once you've experienced both, and if you're not careful, it's like slowly sinking in quicksand. Whether you win or lose, the pull of gambling will be hard to resist. It plays with your emotion and self control and if you're not careful, if you succumb to the things gambling is offering, then you're in for a very scary situation. And what makes it more dangerous is that gambling is associated with monetary betting. It give you the same effect as being addicted to cigarettes as you know excessive use has a negative effect you can't really control it. though this case instead of the risk of getting cancer, you risk getting bankrupt and in debt.

willing or unwilling, people who feel the loss of gambling indirectly they will conduct gambling back because they have a sense of responsibility to get back the money that has been lost, and this is what indirectly make the person has become addicted. addiction is not because of the pleasure, but the addiction caused by the need.

I agree, they get addicted because they need something and they find something which they can achieve it. They need money, then they gamble, then they find gambling a way to earn money in an easy way so they would always do it. They don't realize how much they are already losing because they are addicted to it. They will just notice it until some serious effects will happen on them.

The main problem is that it makes people addicted to gambling, you always have the hope to win for this time and continue hoping for every time, so you become addicted and then it become so hard or unable to quit it even after realizing the bitter truth that there is no future in gambling.

The best way to do is just to quit gambling, you are not good in gambling as every time you play you are always thinking of controlling yourself but it does not happen. Bear in mind that gambling is only an entertainment and this game requires deeper maturity as a person to understand that we are fighting in a losing battle if we go further with all our effort and money.

Quitting gambling itself is already a challenge and it is really hard. Some people think of it as an entertainment however most people just think of it as a paradise to get more money, addiction to gamble is probably the hardest think that someone could be free off and most people just ended up ruining themselves more

Yeah, addiction is one of the hardest thing to avoid and stop in terms of gambling. It is happening when a person starts to experience that he is earning good money,fame and entertaining as he gambles. That's why even though many of them are suffering from a bad lose still they are hoping that they will taste the essence of gambling and having good fortune from gambling.

Whenever I tried to stop gambling my mind keep telling me "what if today is your lucky day?", "and if you stopped today, you will waste your opportunity to catch your luck!". That's why, I am still at this business till now.

I think it is being experienced by most of the people here. Because even you have the willingness to quit gambling and stop your addiction but when you think about the chances of winning you will really regret if you will not gamble for a day. But what is happening is a total regret, because most of us are just losing and will say 'its better if I didn't gamble today."

Hoping to earn money from gambling is a big shot to nothing, always treat money games/ gambling as a past time and entertainment. being addict to gambling requires real life rehabilitation.

[Ewinsane]

Gambling can be very addictive this is due the enjoying part it can have at people, the most people think its enjoyable to gamble.
They forget there is also hiding something else after that and that is money, people see money on their screen and want to win.
The problem is most people do not say this they are thinking that its just for a enjoying part but before they know it it already lost a lot of money because of gambling.

the reason why gambling is so addictive is because we believe we can out smart the system(house) or we get to carried away from our first win or loss and want to win back what is ours and it becomes a cycle.

the very good feeling when you won the bet for the first time make everyone always want it back. but they did not realie there is a possibility for you to get hurts when you lost or get a losing streaks , they don't care about it.

all they care are just about winning and winning , it was a big mistake to have mindset like that.

That's not the real reason why gambling is addictive. The reason of most of the gamblers think that they are lucky enough and even how hard it is to win a single win as long as they think that luck is with them. They are going to keep on gambling again and again no matter what happens, even they are losing as long as the hope of being lucky is there.

Not all don't have a knowledge about the house edge, some know that already, it just that, they are still trying expecting that the wheel of fortune are on their side, trying their luck even if they do it many times, as long they win they will keep on doing it. I do believe that it's not the fun that keeps gambling so addicting, it's the "money", or anything that you could win in gambling instantly.

[erwin45hacked]

The reason of most of the gamblers think that they are lucky enough

This is nonsense, no one thìnks that he is lucky enough to win. Actually it is your curiousity to test your luck or either your greed that wants to win more and apart from that I dont really see how you could be thinking that you are lucky today and might win anything from the house, that is just nonsense things to think about

[eann014]

Gambling is addictive because gambling players have different reasons why they are addicted on it. Some are always gaining profit on it thats why they are keep playing gambling games for more even profit. Some are always loosing they are chasing their lost fund on playing gambling. Some are just attracted on playing gambling they just enjoy playing it.

gambling addiction is not terrible, but the effect was very terrible for us all, the impact could be to the gambler even to the people around him.

People around them do not really get affected in any way, unless they are also convinced to join gambling. The worst part of the addiction is that you're losing most of the time more than you wanted to, and this happens to like everybody having this addiction. It's hard to get rid of it.

yeah actually people will always crossed the limit once they are gambling, hard to control over it. as the thrill in gambling makes you have no time to think twice, just do it no matter what as long as you feel happy and satisfied , gambling always be like that. addiction come from that excitement.

Yes true if we too enjoy gambling will feel happy so it does not have control and become addicted. I when gamble sometimes still do it. Because it is very difficult to really be able to control themselves. But a gambler must have self-control and good financial management, so as not to become addicted to gambling. It will make can avoid big losses.

if you are not a regular gambler i think you shouldn't have a financial / bankroll management , just to control over yourself as it could lead you to an addiction and in the end become a regular gambler even if you actually don't want it. to enjoy gambing it's okay, just don't crossed the limit.

I do agree just dont crossed the line because once you cross then you will face a big problem and that is addiction and cant able to control your self while playing in loosing streak or winning streak. You should able to control your self in any stances because it is for your own good. Just play gambling just for fun and not for profit thats all

Agree, always know our limitation and especially our financial, if your financial is not good enough to play gambling to make it as your addiction then always think twice, because gambling can eat all our money when we are already hooked.

Said in another manner,always bet what you can afford to lose and control yourself,that's the key to ending in profit,everything else is just a path that will sooner or later lead you to loss

I do not agree with your first statement, but I agree with your second statement. We can  become addicted to gambling even though we do not know anything about the House. Very probably addicted because I think it does play a role in making people become addicted. But for the second your statement, it was probably the most influential factor in making people become addicted. We got win in the beginning, and will try to play again because we wanted to win again, and when lost, we will try to take back the money we lost.

If you are truely curious about your luck then try to bet small amount of bitcoin and then try to make them bigger than loosing too much money by just thiking that you are lucky enough to win bit profits. I just lost today trying to be cool on my friends hahaha

The most suitable recommendation when you go to a site and gamble is that when you actually deposit into that site then you should have consider that your deposit is lost therefore even if you actually lose it then you probably will not get emotional with it , if you actually ended up winning then probably it is as your extra bonus

it will make you addicted. gambling addiction has a very strong value. we will not be able to stop playing gambling if we do not remove it from our memories.

[Xsinx]

We can only say addicting if we reach to the point that we resort to selling our personal things like houses, Cars and Jewellery just to play and gamble on a casino. that will be the worst case scenario and will require treatment

if you are financially weak then you should make a strategy for your gambling, you should limit your gambling up to the limit that you can easily bear to lose.

You may not know but that is really happening in real world. Especially if you are going to enter a casino a lot of cougars, addicted gamblers and new comers will always shout there that "I am lucky for this day". And that is giving them strength to keep on moving and gambling around even though the reality is they are actually losing.  It is a person's opinion and we can't do something about it if they are thinking that way.
