Because many people are dreaming about being rich with gambling. Only gambling can make them become rich in a short time with their luck. Therefore, people risk their life, their family into gambling so that they hope they can earn a good amount of money which can make them rich. There are many ways to stay away from gambling. The best way is that try to find a job and work hard so that you do not worry about money anymore. Worrying about the money issue is the shortest way leading us to gambling

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?
Maybe you just still hoping that some time you will win more and get all your losses. I said that because  most of the people sepcially the gamblers still have a positve thinking that they can get back all thier losses which is it will never be happen.
Yes, still expecting something positive to come to you, it keeps you on the bet, making you try your luck. It also ends with too much gambling, then it becomes your habit, that's when you become addicted to gambling.
If you cannot stop the water, simply change its direction. I mean if you cannot stop yourself from gambling simply gamble with a very little amount. It will not discourage you if you lose neither you will be facing some real trouble and with time may be you will be able to understand the world of gambling.

The simple reason must be the human nature. All human usually temp to all attractive things. The most entertaining thing which also provide the promise of getting rich in quick period must attract any common man which may end in addiction too.

Yeah, it is true that because of the human nature or the practices of some people sorround by us. And i think gambling is so addicted, because  for the gamblers gambling is the easiest way to earned a lot of money.  And some people are attracting or influence by take gambling,and  in their mind to take gambling will make them fun, because of easy to earn money. When we are in gamble we get fun and we are earned money,  and after a few days we are become addicted in gambling. But for my understanding, we are don't be a addicted in gambling and we should gamble in moderately and we should give a limitations into our self.

Gambling are very convincing to people who wanted to earn more profit when it comes of short period of time since people are always greed on wealth they always find their self playing gambling and always comes into their mind that gambling is the easiest way to earn profit after they earn profit from another activities since gambling always triggered us everytime we lose we tinder our selves and lose control and emotion that is why when we lose we chase it.

Is gambling for everyone so addicting or only for a small number of gamblers for whatever reason?

I think if it was so addicting in general, the whole world would already play, but this is obviously not the case, so I think getting addicted or not basically depend on the mentality of the player rather than gambling itself.

You have also addicted workers or people who are addicted to sex or drugs or sports and this confirms that the addiction is caused by the personality of the addicted.

i agree, gambling is addicting in general.  Gambling take advantage of human nature and attack human hormone that is secreted on the brain.  It also plays with human emotion such as entertainment and greed.  This factors are the key where a person can lose control of himself and just go along to the flow of event due to either greed or to much entertainment.

Gambling is so addicting, because it gives opportunity to earn easily money. Gambling is very known activity that everyone wants.

You are right there that it gives opportunity to earn some easy money. But it is also giving you a counterpart of it that you can also lose a lot of money from it. And this is the only cycle that happens again and again so gamblers are becoming addicting in it.
For some people, it's already a taboo for them, that they don't want to go near anywhere with gambling because maybe they have a family friend that got addicted or someone they know and they could see that has gone wrong or something. We all want something easy but that's not easily obtainable you really have to work hard on it.

Nothing new, it's a human nature that we want something in an easy way and in money we all want it. But money coming from gambling is a hard money, this is why people are becoming with it. We all aim to get some decent money as we gamble but we don't know that we are starting to become addicted and we aren't noticing that as our move changes.

Gambling is so addicting because number one it makes you happy. Yes, it is a leisure time for you to makes you happy. You for yourself, you think that you have a 100% chance of winning but in the end your not. Your eyes see it as a easy win but it's not. You're only losing lots of money. It looks like a paradise for you. A time for yourself. A treat for yourself. If you try it once, it is really hard for you to get up from being a gambling addict. A little piece of advice you should control yourself. Know your limitations.

Because, for instantaneous consideration, gambling is quicker to make money and even gives hope to get rich suddenly than any other activity that takes time and patience in management. Especially if gambling decorated with interesting things.
This feeling that often makes us wrong decision. Too focused to be able to find a victory so we forget our circumstances. Even when we fail and have lost a lot of money. These feelings can kill themselves and we should have good self-control in order to avoid a very strong addiction. All gamblers really hope that they have good emotional control.
But not all can have a good emotional control, a lot of addicted gamblers are out of control by playing gambling, they don't care if their mind control them, because that's what they wanted to do, and sometimes even if how scold that we do to them, they don't care and don't listen to it, as long as they want to gamble they just do it. Gambling is really addicted that many people can easily hooked in it, because it is really enjoyable and have a crazy stuff inside the casino which enjoys a lot of gamblers.
If anyone addicted to gambling means they are already out of control. When we lost control on our emotions, then it is confirmed that we are addicted. And yes the addicted gamblers will not care for anything for family and money. When they will lose everything that time only they will realise. Why this so addicting means here we get money and also entertainment.



Yeah, and a lot of addicted person are getting crazy with gambling if they are already addicted. It is really hard to control our emotions especially if we are already hooked with it, and it is really hard to control our ego especially for the boys out there. So they still continue to play until they don't get the victory that they wanted. But sadly, we cannot always get all what we wanted.

If someone addicted to a big winning gamble will not stop them from continuing to play. Even if they lose they will return to play again. And this is why many people become addicted to gambling, people want to earn money easily and they have to know what the risks are when they play gambling.
I know the risk of playing gambling and be addicted but it is fun to play even i win or lose to be greedy or not that makes the color of gambling.
Lol gambling since first time is an addictive activity , once you are in you will struggle to leave.
The huge winning that other people achieved makes anyone really interested to try.
And since that time , especially when you have lost a lot you will so vulnerable to get addicted.

Yeah, gambling attract to the people and when people star to play it, then gambling's addictive activity work, that's why gambling so addictive. But i think people like to play games, because when we start to play any favorite game then it is hard to stop on the time and we continuously play it. So in gambling i think same feeling is here we forget to stop the games and play it without thinking, that's why we think gambling is so addictive.     
The easy money at the first impression always make everyone lured to gamble regularly.
They will always try to do the same easy winning as previously.
It is clearly a mistake to think like that way , in the end they are become an addict as time goes by .
The way to get easy money I think is the main reason for them to be addict of gambling in their start. I second the statement that once a gambler win by easy way. He didn’t do anything and see he got a huge profit over that so next time he is more likely to play having same thinking of win. And do it again and again until he badly lost everything he had. But the start was the easy coming of money without any work.

Because many people are dreaming about being rich with gambling. Only gambling can make them become rich in a short time with their luck. Therefore, people risk their life, their family into gambling so that they hope they can earn a good amount of money which can make them rich. There are many ways to stay away from gambling. The best way is that try to find a job and work hard so that you do not worry about money anymore. Worrying about the money issue is the shortest way leading us to gambling
Many people get addicted to gambling only in a short period of time because they find it as the easiest way to increase their capitals only in a matter of seconds. This is applicable only in the case of those who are lucky enough to win again and again. On the other hand, someone who loses tries again and again just to win back his profits and is not actually addicted to it.

That’s pretty obvious! If someone is addicted, only then he will be crazy and make brainless moves. Gamblers must be aware of this fact beforehand; they will face defeat very often. This is how gambling world works so making it an ego issue is dumb act. Some people learn lessons through hard way.

I mean, they know they will be addicted if they continue playing without thinking what will be the outcome. And also gambling is addicting because it is giving entertainment to others.

You are correct. It is just like with smoking - people who are just starting to smoke knows very well that it is addicting and yet still go on and smoke until as expected hooked to smoking addiction.

Why is it so addictive?
The real thing that makes gambling addictive is when we win 2-3 times in a row and earn a lot of money from the victory. But if the calculation, the victory is money from our defeat so far. But sometimes a compliment from people for our victory while gambling, makes us forget that our winning money is not more than the money lost for our defeat. Things like that sometimes do not occur to us, but that's the art of gambling that makes us all addicted.

Why is it so addictive?
It is a game which you bet and when you win it makes you feel lucky, and when you feel lucky you feel like betting again. It is giving to you a happiness like when if you win a high value of money you realize the gambling is easy to earn money compare when you are working the salary is lingering you imagine its better to gamble than to work. like when you are lucky in gambling you didint remember the time is transient and you only think that gambling for you is good even that they have time that you lose. And the money that you wasting have no value for you because you are addicted in gambling so gambling they have good part and they have bad part when if you are abusing this you are addicted. When you are addicted you will do every thing for gambling.

But they know that it is harmful. But addiction is not something that can be easily removed. So for those who do not have a sense of addiction then suppose gambling as an entertainment, it will help them to stay away from the nature of strong addiction.
