Why is gambling so addicting?

[hisuka]

People are addictive into gambling because of aiming to win the game to cover the loses. Also, greediness is hard to control over the game. Suffering already on lose and much money but still willing to gamble, its been addicted to gamble. But the solution on this kind of problem is to control the emotion and also to find others activity that may forgot to gamble.

Winning money through gambling gives us a huge dopamine response (reward system that feels great).  Once that fades, we would naturally want to have that feeling again by winning.  Some people are better at managing this with logic and rationale or even fear, but others are dopamine fiends and need to continue to play.

I completely agree with your opinion , people did not realize about this situation directly.
But by keep chasing the lost you have , and desire to win more and more money it is shows how get hooked you are.
Be logic sometimes not guarantee you anything to control yourself to not get addicted

Yeah treating gambling as a source of income, where you "need" to end on top...I think that's where it starts to get dangerous.

If you go in with money that is acceptable to lose, and understand the odds are against you, but you just might luck out, then it's fine.  This goes for games where you're playing against the house.  For playing poker against other people, then it depends on your ability to play relative to your peers.

Logic would keep you from being addicted, which is more of an impulsive/emotional response.

There are many factors why people become addicted to gambling one of them is influence of friendship and this happens a lot, people who has a friend hobby gamble, then gradually he will also plunge to try to play, and likely will be a gambler who addicted.

Having a friend that is also like to gamble is not going to motivate me no matter what. I prefer to play alone and also chat with stranger on the site. Sometimes even when Im not playing, I prefer to chat with few friend that I made on the site and the experience for that is very priceless

[Lontongpangsit]

So guys just stop gambling or doing some demo gambling? Because well if we can't afford there is no point to play.
I think is nice to play with the big money maybe twice a years or just once for fun and maybe earn a lot of money if you are lucky

in fact people consider gambling the only hope trough which they can make a lot of money without any hard work or education. because in most of gambling games we even do not need for any experience and skill therefore people when disappointed from different places attracted by the gambling to make more money in a very very short period of time but in fact they even lose their own invested money in gambling.

Yeaaa sometimes you really need to completely understand about how the odds always against you to avoid confusing and some curious feeling too keep trying and choose on that trap odds right?
But still as at the first place basically gambling itself contains something addictive then you should be careful that more than 50% you will get addicted in the end.

I think they are just satisfied when they are winning and dont noticed the fact that they are losing. we all know that we are satisfied when we win on something and thats why they are addicted to gambling.

That feeling of satisfaction is the main reason why people like to gamble. The whole gambling for money is kind of weird in the average person’s view plus I have a feeling that they already know that already since going all in inside of a bet is a really funny method to losing a bunch of money if things go wrong.

Yeah I do find that people that do enjoy gambling often (that are not professional), don't have a good understanding of how odds work, or what the odds are for games that they do play.  It would be more based on intuition, luck, or superstition.

I remember enjoying Finite in high school, mainly because a lot of the course was focused on probability, and many examples would be based on card or table games, to calculate odds.

Gambling does seem to fill a void for some.  Those with a fulfilling life are more likely to resist falling into the trap...but when you don't have a lot going for you, it may seem like a way to acquire wealth.

Unrelenting satisfaction is also one of the reasons why gambling is so addictive. Many people have been corrupted by gambling, but they still play it, it happens because they feel that gambling is a game that really makes people curious

Well people who value the cost of hard work would not really agree since people have to work hard to earn money. However brats who have a huge fortune to waste can agree to it. Even if you have a huge inheritance property you should save it and start earnings through better methods and not gamble your money away. Since what can happen to someone in future, no one knows for sure.

I don't know why but I always get a feeling to gamble, after then losing my money, I quit for some time and then continue, but I know I will lose my btc

Why is it so addictive?

Gambling is so addicting because once you win, you want to win more and more while once you lose, you want to get back what you have lost.  People want to win more because it's human nature.  Being contented is hard when you feel your so lucky so they continue to gamble until they lost all the money they bring.  And when people lose from gambling, feeling of emptiness and being stupid will conquer them and nobody wants that feeling so they will do everything to get back what they have lost until they will forget who really they are, their priorities in life, and their health conditions and gambling become their priority.

But many people also feel addicted when they lose, in their minds that they will win the next game. So, win or lose in my opinion will both cause addiction. Such as his slogan that gambling is a high risk game because it can make us addicted under any circumstances.

No one is getting excited when they lose, the correct word for this is getting tensed. When you lose there will be a tensed feeling that made you want to try again. The feeling of not losing to anything is actually what made this thing happened, afterall it is in our nature and we could only control it so that it wont really get into our nerves

It's not just about winning a lot of money. It's more complicated. They lose money, they end up chasing their losses. When they get to recover their loss, they feel good. Also getting lucky and winning big makes them feel good. This "good feeling" is what that makes them addicted to gambling.

[shine1123]

I think the main problem why is gambling so addicting because gambling provide a way to make the gamblers rich in a second. That's why many people keep coming back and a new gambler also coming too.

Everything that involved money should be addictive. Most people want to be rich and thats what drive alot of people to try it. Almost everyone that try it for the first time will end up losing everything and will bring more money to wager. Thats how things become addictive to everyone when they try it the first time

Indeed, that is why most of the people who have tried gambling have gone addicted on it, the losses that they are having everyday is the one keeping them on the gambling world, believing that they could make a lot of money on it, but the truth is they can't, because they are going to lose most of the time especially when the odds is not on their favor.

Gambling is a very risky game, that is why it is addicting, we are getting challenged by the house, which is the reason why we are getting hype out and gamble more of our money, trust me, the only people who are getting benefited on gambling is those who are lucky on this thing.

Yeah and its more on chasing the losses and the greediness to earn more money in gambling .If a player experience already to win a big jackpot he will be more have a confident to try his luck again and play .That good feeling is only good if you have but if not it will be replaced by a greediness if you not know how to control yourself.
