Because gambling is a fun activity. Even if it has been peppered with money, will be very visible pleasure in it. And people began to get lulled when they had seen money grow when win, and became emotional when he lost.

Not just it's fun but there's a lot of factors that make gambling is an addicting activity. The pleasure, the money, the satisfaction it's like a package that you'll get when you started to gamble.

Theres an excitement in playing gambling but being practical is what we need ,we need to save now unless we were rich enough ti lose it.

I don't believe that it's addicting because of fun, gamblers became addicted if the tend to loss all bets at all time and they wanted to win it back. The have no satisfactions over it, because of eagerness to recover what has been loss. The profit wasted through money cannot be taken back because gambling establishment will really wanting their profit to be the first priority at all times and to their customers who play, it was just a lucky reward for you to win and that's the part of the game set play.

Yes, drug addicts are basically not because of pleasure, but because of lust for easy money. Such people are not able to enjoy the game regardless of the outcome.

Many become addicted to gambling because i think some of them have no luck and they always lose everytime they play. That is the main reason why they become addicted in to gambling.

Gambling addiction is very common, but the impact of gambling is very bad is misery.

It is one of the sins of human but it is controllable. If one is emotionally strong they can control their playing habits they can save themselves from going broke. The impact of addicted gambling is no doubt misery. But if you are not aware of that then you should not gamble in the first place. If the casino owners did not make any money (by making the players lose) - how can you expect them to run a casino in a flourishing manner? One has to earn while the other has to suffer.

Gambling is the opportunity to make money instant and easier. Because they do habits in gambling so that it will become addicted, it a chance to win and if win they have earn double. If they bet and win they will happy for the winning. Because gambling is for fun and earn money. Many  people get risk and gives people excitement and experience and make feel good.

It's because of the nature of gambling. You lose a lot and win a small amount. When you see a small victory, you think you've achieved something and it gets you excited and you start gambling more and eventually out of control may get broke

In a way you are correct, but at the same time, the reason we don’t see people being addicted to gambling that have won one million dollars is for the simple reason that there are not many people that can claim they have earned that amount of money, I think the only ones that can claim that are professional poker players and those that win the lottery.

People that have one million dollar will not play anything that is related to gamble anymore. When you have that much of money, all you will think about is how to get more money by running some business and that kind of business is not something that is gamble related. Professional poker player could earn more than one million dollar if they are good
We were not talking about people with a million dollars in their pocket rather we were talking about people that have won that in gambling, if such person did won his fortune with gambling I don’t see why that person will leave gambling alone after having that much of a good fortune, but you are right those that earned that money are not thinking in gambling their money away.

Gambling is indeed a good way to earn some decent income but the addiction comes from the individual's appetite to recover losses and that's the dead end which could cause you so many problems.

That is really a certain way to cause lots of problems - when you are addicted to gambling and you no longer control yourself from gambling and even bet or roll in no longer according to your betting plan. The worst part is when you even lost all of your family savings and properties - that is the bad thing that could ever happen to you.

Yes, having the proper money management will allow the gambler to stay focused on making the money that they want to make. If the gambler does not have the proper money management then the gambler is very likely to lose his money and continue to deposit more money into his account and continue to lose the money that he deposits as well.

Because they have a strong desire to earn a lot of money every time they play gambling in a short time, if someone has lost their money in gambling I think they will come back again in hopes they can still get back their lost money and it continues Until they become gambling addicts.

That's true but people forget the fact that luck will not always favor them and majority of times they will be loosing their money but still people keeps on gambling hoping to make quick money in quick time.
Probably most of the addicted gambling players, being so interested in the big prizes. Well, I'm also sometimes so interested in big, and sometimes addictive, gifts.  Grin
I think that gambling appeals to some of our strongest desires, after all who does not wish that it had more money or something like that, I suppose that most of us, and gambling gives the illusion that you can get that extra money by doing something that seems apparently simple.

How can you say that gambling is a good way to earn some money when every single game at a casino, online or off-line as a house edge, where real life casinos have a much higher edge than online dice.

Gambling is something that people should do for fun and never bet more than they can lose like a few pennies at a time

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 Sad

Why is it so addictive?
We became addicted to gambling because when the time we play and result to loss we tend to play again because we want to retrieve our money and same goes if we won we tend to play again because we want more profit. And I think that is the strategies of gambling owners that for the fist time they will let you win but you end up to lose.

It's addicting when you win because the chance of playing again is high. You will want more profit and it becomes your daily habit. You will play everyday because it will be part of your everyday life.

Become addictive because gambling gives hope to get a lot of money in a short time. When today has won, then gambler will be wishful thinking tomorrow will win again. And if he loses, then he will try to take back that lose.

It is addicting when we win that is why dont even think of playing too long or even try to enjoy it. When we enjoy it, then we will want to do that again, that makes thing difficult especially when we want to quit . We can play it without having to enjoy it, when we dont enjoy it then things will become so much easier

It is because we all want more money and there is not enough for your greed which is ever increasing. The greed and temptation to win more money makes a person mad and then they cannot stop playing. The habits that appear are due to the temptation and sense of luck that prevails in them. It makes them think that they are going to get lucky again - but then they end up losing what they won and the cycle repeats itself.

This is also an important point, the force of habit, I remember that back in the day I had trouble assisting to school it was a chore, but even on those days when things were not right or I felt sick I still went to school and it was mostly because it was an habit, so once a person begins to have the habit of gambling is going to be very difficult to get rid of it.

IMHO you do win, and you do lose, that's how it should go.
BUT, the catch is, as many have mentioned, if you loose, you tend to think: "If I just spend a bit more, I will win (Since you know you can also win, not loose, as it is)".
AND you do not stop, if you continue loosing, still hoping you will win it back, until the last cent.

I would call it something like, exploiting a primal human urge, which many people, very very many can't just control.
