Gambling is the best tool to get lots of money in the shortest amount of time with the least skill required. In fact, nowadays the games are designed in such a way that it does not requires you to understand anything and you just move with the flow. The machine or the dealer say you win, you win and they say you lose, you lose your money. And that is why so many people get addicted cause the entry level is not high.

With that said, kids and young people are the usual victim of that, as they just need few dollars and they are good to go and gamble, and it become much easier because of bitcoin, not even their parents knowing what they are doing in their room, they could bet while doing their assignments...

With their young minds, they are very much prone to addiction as their thinking is not yet like that of an adult...  Smiley

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

I feel to this and a victim  Grin. LOL. Actually, young kids didn't think of risk at the beginning. They just want to bet and win. Also, environment also has a factor in it and of course family. If you are brought up in a family which gambles, most likely you will gamble at a young age.

We all love the easy quick money, if you don't agree with that, then i love easy quick money. How to get that?
The only possible answer for this is do some gamble. Just think to taking all money in the table make people don't want to stop playing.
Greed. This is why gambling so addicting, because human are greed.
Easy money and  being greedy on money will make us loose the more we greed on that thing the more risk we can take every one loves to make easy money the real question is, Is everyone willing to pay the price? Everyone Loved to take all money playing gambling we all want to take the price but we don't know that we are getting too much on that involving too much on that thing.
But I have saw that even those people are addicted to gambling who do not win money in gambling and who know well that they are not that much expert to win some money in gambling so with that I think they are gambling and addicted to gambling because of some enjoyment involved in gambling.
Even unskilled player can win on gambling even if he is not addicted to gambling , gambling are for those lucky person who will win for the first time and there are people who are addicted on gambling and had already skilled are loosing sometimes but doesn't mean that you need to involved anything on your life.

It does really matter on how lucky you are and as you said even those first times or non skilled persons do really win on first attempts or few attempts on playing a gambling game which somehow gives the feeling of addiction at first place.

Thanks for listing some major reasons why people become addicted to gambling. wow, I can not imagine that lack of love and care from the family can make a person addicted. Well, I think it must base on your experience, mustn't it? Cheesy
Just kidding. I have overcome gambling addiction for many years and I still find it is interesting to read what other people think about it

Gambling is addicting because it feels good, you fell happy and content when you are playing and most of the time if you lose your entire money then you are sad since being sad is a bad feeling the brain wants to get happy again and that means for some gambling again, that is the way to cycle begins.

- Of course, "lack of love and care from the family", it will be affects our psychology. Because lack of love and care from the family, we can   easily approach gambling activities ( sports betting, gambling on the computer,...). Most of these people are very young and usually under the age of 18. Most of the gambling addicts admit they've started to gamble since we were children. This is not my experience, I read it in the articles on gambling addiction

the things that make the addict is because gambling looks very good, with sit down, do not go where, and speculation, then money is growing. certainly make people will continue to repeat it.

Gambling is looking good because of the chance that we can win bigger amount of winning. That's the natural reason why gambling is addictive. And every time we are going to gamble we are always excited on it. And we experience to win some good amount on it already we tend to keep on doing it repetitively.

that was just a presumption to you can win big amount from gambling but actually there are only small chances and yes just because some people have experienced it they already think that it can happen again until different instances has occur which they lose their money so they will try their luck again so that they are getting addicted . gambling addiction maybe comes from different ways most of the time it because of the frustration and their yearning to get more money .

I don't believe in fun betting but fun winning. It is very good to have fun after a win and I bet to win always not to have  fun because the bookies are there to take your money not fun so I will go in with the same mentality and nothing else.

Pretty much false, the major cause is still your own fault for not stopping when you have the chance. Everyone has the chance to stop however only a few actually stop when they feel enough while the rest will keep on going until they lose, point is that we control everything that happened in our life if we make the right decision

Stopping when you are having a winning streak is very hard, to be honest. This is so true with new gamblers but to professional gamblers, they know when to hold and when to run, as what the song is saying..

That is why we need a self discipline to do this.  It is really hard if you lost control of yourself but if you are on top of all the action, you can easily manage to stop whenever you decide to stop even if you have a winning streak.

Gambling is the best tool to get lots of money in the shortest amount of time with the least skill required. In fact, nowadays the games are designed in such a way that it does not requires you to understand anything and you just move with the flow. The machine or the dealer say you win, you win and they say you lose, you lose your money. And that is why so many people get addicted cause the entry level is not high.

With that said, kids and young people are the usual victim of that, as they just need few dollars and they are good to go and gamble, and it become much easier because of bitcoin, not even their parents knowing what they are doing in their room, they could bet while doing their assignments...

With their young minds, they are very much prone to addiction as their thinking is not yet like that of an adult...  Smiley

I feel to this and a victim  Grin. LOL. Actually, young kids didn't think of risk at the beginning. They just want to bet and win. Also, environment also has a factor in it and of course family. If you are brought up in a family which gambles, most likely you will gamble at a young age.
those people who gamble at first time and mostly an under age players will never accept the fact that they are lost , they will do everything to make their money back , include to chasing the lost . in the end they didn't realize that they are too enjoy to play and get addicted , this shows how important to gamble responsibly , you might won't get addicted.

You are correct mate. When they are just aware of it, hopefully very soon, that they are more prone to losing than winning in gambling and that there is no easy way to win all the time, then they will give themeselves a chance of not getting addicted to it.

- No job, unemployment
- Feel get money from gambling is easier than go to work
- Lack of love and care from the family
- Difficult to integrate in the society

Pretty much false, the major cause is still your own fault for not stopping when you have the chance. Everyone has the chance to stop however only a few actually stop when they feel enough while the rest will keep on going until they lose, point is that we control everything that happened in our life if we make the right decision
I agree those are nothing but excuses, sometimes I hear from bad parents that they are bad parents because their parents were bad too, and what about all of those that had bad parents and are good parents now, that is just an excuse.

enjoyment somebody really different, but we have to respect someone who puts the pleasures of the gambling game because I felt that the gamble I can pull out all the emotions that I had with a satisfactory expression.
