People who do not have self control and cannot follow the principle will lead to problems in life. This is a very basic nature of all human beings if followed it thoroughly  than in life you would not be addicted to anything. Well people who gamble considering just to win then they keep playing to recover the losses which they have incur. And if they play for fun and entertainment will save them from this.

Yes it is one of the reason, it is making us believed that we can win more upon seeing people win bigger pots. And we are thinking that it's possible to happen to us and we always gets inspired seeing people who are having victory in gambling. The aura of winning is being spread unto us and that's making gambling so addicting.

Of course, winning the jackpot is everyone  dream. It is the big amount of money that attracted most people. Also, the feeling of excitement when you play that when you win or hit the jackpot in immense.It is the monetary value that usually changes the gamblers perception to win it. It is also addicting to some when they are problematic and want to unwind.

Gambling provides an opportunity to feel like a winner and make gifts to other people. This pushes the attempts to feel this sense of victory again.

Yeah, all you can do about gambling if you are not lucky on gambling is to "feel" that you are a winner, but the sad truth is you're not. Those person who are keep on saying and foolinh themselves that they are lucky on gambling, and this mindest is the one which is giving them false hope that they could make big money on gambling.

It is very hard to win jackpot, from all these years of gambling I havent win even once . There are some people that are lucky, there will be always someone that will win the lottery but in reality it is hard to win when we have hope on it. That is why dont put any hope to win it because we know that we wont win

Expect the extremely wealthy people who have so much money that it would never be finished, and unfortunately this category has the right to do all the facts !


There are limits to everything no matter how rich you are. You may think that rich people might be able to spend thousand of dollars however in reality they are not going to risk their money for things like this. Thats what makes them rich in the first place and they are definitely not going to drown themselves in this stupidity
I am totally agree with you, but I am talking about a minority who present in maximum 5% of the richest people, and who are generally inherited this having from their parents who have worked during days and evenings in order to have Such a result !

Even if a person is rich they should not waste money on gambling. I have seen many people who are rich and spoiled. They tend to take their money for granted and waste it. This should not be the way rather they should work on improving their lives and working hard like their parents to become good humans in future and earn money by other methods. Otherwise they will also become poor.
We must value the money that earned from your job or at online job income, it's not easy to find money nowadays so you should be carefull of managing funds. Even if that money was valued from our jobs some people were really destined to play gambling and those wealthy of their riches just play their money for fun gambling games, that made them addicted due to habitual activities. That's a better idea of diverting to another options in order to minimize gambling bets and maybe you can focus on other recreational activities, just to fulfill your stress diversion; so that addictions might be rehabilitated.
I think we can always write 1000 quotes without any result because the problem is simply relative to people,
In fact, our reality is full of cases of bankruptcy because of gambling,
However, the example of Dan Bilzerian  alone is enough to prove that gambling is sometimes extremly beneficial !

Sometimes? I suggest you correct it to "extremely rare" cases. If the casinos had to lose "sometimes" then they would very well go bankrupt and not the players. They are running a business and honestly a very professional one. They intent to make you greedy for money - so the fact that you lose money is only burdened on you and not the casino owners. There are very few players who have actually won in gambling big wins but still most of them are in a negative profit. Now its upto you to decide.
It's clear that casinos must always guarantee a minimum profit otherwise they will automatically shut their doors, but i think that as the managers of the companies do the calculations and all that, the players also make their own calculations by earning the experience and rectifying their strategies in order to earn money, which brings back to some cases having a positive balance from gambling !!

Most of the gamblers are selfish. They can not resist using all the money they have. Only self-control can make us detached from the nature of addiction. So if you do not have good self control then do not ever try to play gambling, make gambling an entertainment only. Never make gambling a way to earn money.

I agree and winning can make us feel we are invincible and bring a lot of happiness that makes us come back to gambling again and again.  Aside from that our minds produce a hormone that escalates the addiction to gambling.  We may think that we are only aiming for entertainment but we are unaware that fun and enjoyment that gambling bring to us made us vulnerable to gambling addiction.  And it is late when we let ourselves unchecked that we are already hooked to the gambling games and addiction had taken over us.

Meh that the way the casinos earn. By stimulating your greed and allowing your greed to poison your mind. So you ruthlessly waste money hunting the jackpot and cant stop because your ego wont let you stop. Those who dont have a grip over their minds are surely going to suffer if they get a first hand experience at a casino and if there is no one to look after their decisions. But its a good lesson to be learnt for them if they survive that is.

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?
I think it is addictive because of the fact that tou can win a lots of money in these just like a lottery. You can gain a big profit with a small period of time if you are a lucky one. But al lot of people are just losing in these them become addicted because they are hoping that the next game they will regain the lose it caused.

Money is the simple answer which make it more addicting thing if want to win than it turned into a disease more like drug. When accidentally win huge amount than it ruin our life and we become more greedy to make it multiply with gambling and that is the reason gambling is addicting thing.

Yes. It's all about the money for most of us. Specially if you experience it a few times. Like hitting a jackpot with small bets. And you hope that you can duplicate it again so that you go back playing. But it didn't turn out as it used to be. So you go back to play again and try to earn more money but then you lose and go become so addictive  that you can't control yourself.

Gambling is addictive because we human beings are always happy to have something in addition to what we already have. And there is this sensation that we tend to look for. I think that sensation is 'euphoria'.

It is because you will have encounter a new friends and when you make some profit you will do that again and again until you lose all of your earnings. There's so many people addict in gambling maybe for them to relieve stress in life (some of them.)

It's like the additional benefits of always winning, and you could always do it now that we have the technology. It's the dopamine that runs in your brain, and you would really enjoy it when you are winning. It's fun to be positive in your games and hoping that you could win. It's just we are that kind of beings.

It is all about that but you know that you can't always win because life happens and you can't be dependent on gambling all the time because you'll never expect so you won't get hurt.

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?
It's because keep loosing triggers your mind to cope more so you cab recover your loss. However, things happen oppositely from what you're expecting it's becasue you didn't made a plan and you didn't control yourself.
