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.

It is true that money wrecks a person's mind and then they cannot control themselves and are craving for more. One must understand that money is not the thing after which a person must run rather they should try to earn money and become good human beings in the process. No one wants a gambling addict from an ambitious person hence keep gambling addiction to a minimum and one can get over it for sure.

Obviously that's a very integral part of it and of it's nature, The majority of people are still here because of that and that's why casino's and sportbooks offer VERY favorable options for your first bets, trying to get you in the wagon.

No one is actually addicted to gamble. People are addicted to get money and gambling just happen to be the fastest way for it according to those that are addicted. When they can find another way of getting money as fast as rolling the dice then they will switch, therefore no one is actually addicted to gamble

of our journey to the battle ground of addiction and responsible gambler, if chances to quit will show better to grab the opportunity as quick

They are literally not giving any offer at all unless it is EV+ . If it is EV+ then it is worth to check however if it is not then simply skip it. Some people cant differ those therefore they keep falling for the same trap over and over again. Things are not looking good for those kind of people because there is no telling how it will turn out again in the future

Well obviously for a new player if they fall for the trap then it will be a good lesson to them not to come back to gambling. Hence the casino will potentially lose customers. Hence it is not the way they operate. Rather they will hint you at offers but keep them shady so that the blame falls on you - like a blanket consent. You are responsible for you bets and the casino owners did not force you to bet.

I think instead of asking why gambling is addictive we should be asking why the gambler themselves are addicted.
There must be a oersonality trait that leads some people to take more risks. I would assume people with gambling problems also are risky drivers or addicted to adrenaline to risky activity makes then feel alive. I feel a bit like that so I can understand. Interesting he different things effect different people differently. Lol that's a lot of difference.  Tongue  Cool

It is so true that first the users start to gamble for fun but when they start to lose it then they run after it to recover it and on this process they lose all investment. Then start the addiction and when one point comes that they become totally poor that time they realize it what mistake they have done.

I think these is the lowest kind of investment a man can have. The money or digital currency they use to bet can be called a investment, but you must really think how will you earn in this kind of investment.
But even if you get addicted to gambling, I don't think a person will become totally poor, even if they can't resist gambling there will come a time where they decide to stop gambling because it is resulting on a negative future.

Because gambling is one way to satisfy human emotions or passions. Gambling is a very challenging activity for me. I prefer in gambling dice with a 0.01% chance target.
It also often make a person to get more fun and entertainment and while getting that entertainment it also give the opportunity to the players to earn some money as a reward so when these both things come together then they will make a person stick to gambling and we call him as an addictive gambler.

people only become addicted when they have some expectation, and gambling is the only why from where people can expect that they will make money without experience and knowledge and having no hard work is require. when they become disappoined from other places to get a job or to find some other source of income then they come to casino and epxect that they will make a good profit from there which they cannot expect even from anykind of job.

It is just like teasing players by few winnings here and there - but the reality is that we usually lose more than win due to the house edge advantage. However, some professional gamblers get away with this by executing some strategies they have in place that they mastered for some time.

Greed , illusion of getting rich easily and very fast and laziness are the main factors of gambling addiction .
So many people dream of owning sport cars , big fancy houses and having tons of cash to spend on hookers and drugs , and they want to get all of this by just sitting and bidding with 5 or 10 euros .
But if you just bet reasonably , on a team or any kind of sport that you follow closely and know all of it's little details , you'll easily be able to make some money . You're not going to be rich in 24 hours but you'll have enough to get yourself a nice vacation or i don't know maybe even a nice car .
Bet carefully and focus on single bets with reasonable odds and high amount of bids , multiple bets are just throwing your money away .
The word addiction is usually taken as a pejorative expression , but if you're wise enough you'll have an entertaining addiction that will make you enjoy yourself , live all the thrills of betting on your favorite team to win , and make some money aside .

Just to make it specific, they expect to win instant money that's why they keep gambling and trying to improve their method to get what they really want.
Well, here's the bad news, gambling sites are not operating like a charity, they operate to make money not to give it and although they do not win all the time but in the long run they are still on the profit side.

We talk based on what we believe but they talk based on the records they have, and it has proven them profitable.

Challenging it is, maybe this is also one of the reason why we are being addicted on it, we are challenging with the house, which is wrong because we could never win against the house. The house was made to make huge bankroll everyday so that a certain gambling site won't ever be bankrupt to keep on running in the long term, and for the needs of the gambling site of course, the money is just keep on cycling.

In some betting games (no matter is it casino or sport match betting) you can win the house. Here is only one problem you need to follow whole day something that can be good for your winning. I try when football season is on (with all major leagues) to find game that have quote 2+. Then i search this game on different betting house with same game that have also 2+ (i mean on match quite). If i find this (always was able to find at least one), place 2 best in this system: team1-team2 under 2.5 goals quote 2.05, other same match but over 2.5 goals with same quote.

This system is only applied if this is for same match but on different betting sites. Hard this is to find, but if you do you will win for sure.

Challenging the house although you know that you wont have chance? that is just pretty stupid. Why would you do so when you know that you are going to lose? you should just quit if you have no intention of making money from it. Im not saying that everyone could make money but you have some chance for it

I agree that this is the normal scenario. Then again every player is not like that. Many people do realize their losses in due course before going broke and then they stop themselves. Then they even try to reconcile and try to earn their losses not by gambling but by other legal methods to earn money. Not everyone get addicted but many of them do get addicted and cant stop themselves.

They are chasing their previous losses which they hope they can win back again in some other time - that is why they keep on coming back. And once they play regularly, they are forming a habits and those habits become an addiction which has great impact to your family relationship if you will lose a lot overtime
