Why is gambling so addicting?

[8Habits]

Gambling is one of the most popular recreational activities to be enjoyed. One factor for the gamblers to be addictive is the experience of early big win. Winning a large amount can be sometimes overwhelming and the fact it arrives early means that the player think it is easier to land such thing.

One of the best thing to have fun nowadays. I dont need to change my shirt or even get out of my room because I can do it just like that. I can open my computer and access my favourite site without leaving my room. I can also get some money from it that is why gambling is a very addicting and entertaining things for me

there's always a good and bad things , when you gamble online you might have a flexible way to get entertained and earned money through of it . but you wouldn't have a good time to hangout together with your friends , talking bullshit but funny with people around have a lot of experience during that time. however what makes gambling addictive actually not about what you have said above i guess , but more to how your mindset think that gambling are the easiest way to make money. it's completely wrong!

Gambling can be the easiest way to make money but there is a caveat: it is also the easiest way to lose all your hard earned money. So gamble with caution and only play just for fun and not for profit because you do the latter, you will only be disappointed and stressed out.

yeah there's a high risk when you found an easy way in gambling , no wonder. people know already about that i guess. just the matter how you can deal with it , take it easy or get panic whenever you have crossed the line. an addict usually gamble with their emotion instead use their head, their brain to make a decision. that's what makes them always get addicted.

When people are really into that moment where they so engage emotionally during their gambling session, it most of the time ends up in loss and disappointment.

Why is it so addictive?

One factor why gambling is addictive because of the experience of early big win. Many people are addicted to gambling because they are overwhelmed when they win such a large amount of money and it makes them think that it is easier to land such wins in gambling. It gives them the illusion that they can make more money than real job and then, they start to lose money without noticing because they're not monitoring their wins and losses.
Personal stress is also a factor why people gets into gambling. Gambling is like an escape to some. In the same manner with alcohol and drugs. They are gambling because they want to forget their personal problems like divorce and job loss. All of this factors that i stated is all base to what i've experienced and seen to some gamblers and i'm no expert to believe. I'm only stating my opinion and I hope my answer will help you to answer your question.

that was great it a big check gambling is so addicting because of the person who has  drawn by his own desire.it is a desire of wanting a verry big money in a small period of time.and with that desire thier mind cant think that they've already become a victim on it.they will continue trying and in a long run they will end up to nothing.

If someone has put everything into gambling then they will think of nothing but only to gamble. It is very hard to quit gambling but it is not hard to control ourselves. I was one of the victim of gambling as well but I quit my bad habit and keep gambling without having to worry that bad habit got me again

This is not true. I believe one can balance both equally and gamble at the same time. If the person has control over his mind then they can control their gambling habits and not let that become a habit and ruin their lives. It is possible for a potential addict to control thier habits and then continue to do both giving time to both. But this is not for everyone though.

I also agree with you. Actually, if your mind set is always like that then you have a problem in giving up that's why it leads to addiction. But talking about its addictive effect of gambling, maybe it also depends on  whay kind of gamble you are addicted to. If it is profitable to you and has great potential in supporting your needs in using the money you have won in gambling then chances are, you will be addicted. Once you joined , aways wanted.

Gambling is so addictive because once you win you get greedy and you try to win more, and if you loose you keep trying to gain what you lost. If you don't control yourself, you become addicted and it may have bad consequences on your life!

Yes thats the reason why there are a lot of people got addicted to gambling because of the chance of winning big amount of money and the moment they will have the taste of it they get addicted and want more money out from gambling.

Yes, in case of winning as well as loss you cannot leave playing gambling. In losing condition you will think to play once again to get back you own money and in winning condition you will think to win more so in this way you will become addicted of gambling. I know personally some of my friends who are badly addicted of gambling they have lost a lot in gambling but is not ready to leave still.

That is right, because gambling gives more fun and excitement to a person who plays when experience more winning from the betting. It gives high profit in just an instance(turns to be greed)that cause for addiction. When become addicted, he cannot control his mind to stop even when he lost until he turns to nothing in the end.

Winning and greediness comes together. When you win, specially big amounts you tend to be greedy and come back in thinking than you can hit another but will be frustrated if didn't happened and come back again so the cycle continues. If you just enjoy your winnings and not be greedy, then most likely that you still have your bankroll and most of the winning money but alas you want more but ending up nothing in the long run.

Thinking gambling as a easy money is bad because the truth is it will drain your balance if you don't know what you are doing.

If some people is always winning they will play everyday because they think that they will win again next time. Others become addicted when they always lose, they are always playing  and want to recover their losses.

People cant be addicted with a thing that has no addictive substances. Gambling is pretty much different from smoking or drugs which we cant control when we have finally taken the substances into our body. Some people just wont tell the truh that they are the one that decided to keep playing and blame it as their addiction

You are right that greed is what drives people to gamble and that idea that they can also win big jackpots by simply rolling dice is what makes them play more and more. There is also chasing losses which makes a person return to the casino everyday. It was their hard earned money after all so it is obvious that they will try to win it back and hence they try to chase losses.

Other than greediness which is the most common answer to the question"Why gambling is addictive?", Personal problem or stress is one of the reasons why people are drive to gambling. It is already proven by some researches that stress contributes and influence people to gamble. People who got fired from their job and someone that lose someone important to them.

People are addicted to internet, games etc - or do you think it's not addiction because you don't put chemicals in your body?
And btw when you gamble brain is producing substances which are causing addiction.

Stress will not make you want to gamble. It is insane to see people that gamble only to relieve their stress. Some people dont want to have an extra stress after losing money to the gambling site while some people seems to be a fool because they choose gambling as their ' entertainment ' which is weird

Precisely there's something coming out from the brain which creating this addiction and even you are not intended to become addicted but when you already engage you won't be able to control yourself to become addicted and its really hard to avoid once you turned to that.

Win or lose will make us addict, of course when gambling and win then we always think easy to earn money, so we will continue to gambling, and if lost then we will continue to be curious.

Gambling is making every gambler addicted when we are being lucky. It's not about the curiosity when we are losing and we are just continuing because we want to recover our losses and no other reasons why we are doing that. It is resulting for a gambler to become addicted for doing a repetitive action.
