Why is gambling so addicting?

because you can make a lot of money out of it

How come, if we are always losing? the only one's who are earning a large of profit in gambling is those people who are lucky on gambling every time. It is addicting because we are always losing, we are being provoke by that, that is why we are not quitting gambling.

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.

Gambling provides a person with false hopes of getting rich quickly and living the life of a millionaire without having to work hard for it. Most people who come from a middle class will get the brains blocked by such thoughts and start to gamble. It will only lead to net loss than win but even then some of them will end up as addicts and they wont stop until they win the big wins of the house.

There are gamblers are not learning from their mistake and even they keep on losing they zeal in their minds, there will be the day that they'll become lucky and will win on it. And by making those gamblers think like that is why gambling is so very addicting. The chance to get better winning is the reason why we are resulting as an addicted gambler.

I don't think gambling in itself is addicting but the attitude of the gamblers get them into the path of no return. You can choose to gamble and remain rigid with your stance concerning your bankroll and when to gamble and you'll be fine but others don't have any specific plans prior to engaging in gambling and so they end up losing because they don't know when to quit and how much to spend per day on gambling.

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.

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.

I think gambling can be addictive because of its unpredictable nature, while human nature play a big role, I think the randomness of the game plays a role too, someone that plays some games and losses every time is probably going to be less tempted to keep playing than someone that had a positive experience in gambling at first and now it is trying to live it again.

I do not think that it is on gambler alone.  There are factors that are in gambling that makes it addicting.  One of which is its ability to change the mood of a person.  The ability to give thrill and amusements.  The ability to make gamblers hook to the game and the ability to make gambler obsessed with the idea that can turn into an addiction.

It's not really just about luck, it's more about knowing when to stop and when to start again. and especially know how much to bet if you don't want to go bankrupt in few seconds.
Gambling is a double edged weapon, it can give you a lot but it can take everything away if you don't know how to handle it

Thats how I feel fun about gambling. Sometimes I just keep thinking about it, although in reality I always lose but atleast it is nice to keep trying . Somehow I dont care if I lose or win because it is only for fun. The thrill and amusement is what Im looking for when I play so when I get that, I dont care about the result

I tried it a while, but i only wanted to see results. Since you won't win a lot of money with gambling, it didn't do much for me. Luckely im not that addictive.

If you are not addicted then dont gamble too much or you could end up like me. Im addicted and I could not stop however Im different from other people when I gamble even if I am addicted because I dont spend alot when I play. That is why even if I play alot , it will not make me broke although I keep on losing

This story from one of our legendary member here on bitcointalk community is a good example to everyone including me that we mosty lose on gambling than winning. SO if we get addicted, that is very dangerous due to the fact that we lose more than win.

Gambling addiction is really a bad thing to us because this thing will surely put us on trouble later on and we do got broke when we do let this addiction would overcome into oneself.Gambling games are addicting because we do feel excitement which is likely a drug that can hardly be remove after and once you feel that thing you do already seek out every now and then and thats what addiction would start.

That is true! Once we know these facts, we must at all times guard our minds and hearts to not get hooked on gambling because the outcome will be very devastating not only to ourselves but to our families and loved ones as well.

If you have been reading international news lately, a man who was addicted to gambling tried to steal chips in a casino in the Philippines, armed himself with a gun, set the casino tables on fire, leading to the death of 37 people, and eventually killing set himself on fire, that led to his death also. Prior to this incident, his parents had filed a request to ban him in all casinos because of his uncontrollable urge to gamble and his debts that have ballooned. Now if this doesn't serve as a wake up call for other gamblers who are addicted, this should at least make them think twice about going all in with their bets.

This is one of the most unbelievably bad impacts of our lives. Look at this time a lot of people who experience this, there should be handling from the beginning of play. So we have to be mentally prepared and everything. We know that gambling is a risky game, so use wisely all the decisions and also how the future will we achieve.

If you are not in control of yourself and just play whenever you want and whatever you want, then you probably have something that you can do but too late to do it, because you are addicted. I hope that people would see what addiction can really do to you, it's saddening to see that he killed people not by blasting them with a gun but with the panic he has caused and stampede and suffocation killed others. Rest in peace to everyone that was killed and condolence to the families that has relatives who died there.

It is addicting if you allowed your self to be addicted to it, however, I would rather be addicted to something that is productive and will not cost me money. It's sad that there are people out there who are so addicted to gambling that they lose their mind. Just like what happened recently here in the Philippines where one gambler lost $2.6 Million USD in gambling and he lost his mind, entered the casino premises with an M4, burned the casino tables, and stole $2 Million USD worth of chips. His family already asked casino owners to ban him prom entering the casino premises but he still was able to play and lost more money.

On must think of the outcomes before gambling in the first place. You cant go into a casino thinking you are going to be a millionaire in seconds - even if the casino claims that you can do so. It is only a marketing gimmick so as to draw customers which is being done since the first casinos were invented. The real profit-makers are the casino owners and they will draw away all your balance of you are going to bet more and more.

It is very addicting to you because you still have some recovery to do . I know of gamblers who will just not give up because they've lost money and that's the wrong attitude because you might fall victim big time to addiction if you don't have self control as a gambler.

I know a guy from my studies who did a lot of poker not succesfully, he structurally lost a lot of money. He quit it though, so thats pretty awesome. I think he is strong, because he sometimes goes to big poker events, but only once in a while. He still loses some money, but way less than before.
