Gambling offers the opportunity to become rich almost without doing anything and those who like easy money will come back again to try again. You need to set a limit for the game in order not to lose everything.
Correct the opportunities we will never get in real life that is what attracts us towards gambling we always need to understand gambling is just a short term solution and sometimes it might even make you good money but to make more money you always need hardwork and dedication

Other people became that addicted of because they taught that full happiness can be achieve if they play and play as expecting lots of chances will come all the way, but they're wrong. That's right gambling was just for short term bets which could possible give you lucky chances of winning, but I don't see it profitable if we make it long term. Better to work for money like bitcoin jobs and other sources of income like physical jobs, due to sustainable amount it may provide to us.

it's really dreamy when people usually imagine how much money they can make through gambling when you stake $100 double it to $200 , $400 , $800 and so on easily within a couple of minutes , the reality always far different from what people want. they didn't think realistically and prefer to follow their gut to become greedy in the end.
This is a usual stuff and a usual aim for most gamblers out there who do play games.It cant really be avoided or to be removed on ones mind on believing that they can able to make good money or profits on gambling easily.Yes, it is actually possible but only if you are just lucky enough.What if doesnt? Then expectations would really be broken for sure.
yeah i'm just talking about how gamble make people addicted based on my personal experience and several people around me. that vouch actually applies to everyone. we are in same purpose to complete an impossible mission to make money in gambling. keep being an addict and you would find you are a broken guy sooner or later. let's move on and looking for something better than gambling , let your gambling habit as your way to get an exclusive entertainment and step by step quit from it.

I'm in 400,000 euros debt , dont help me , i rather die

Because all people wants to be filthy rich and the greed fuels it more so once we tasted a sweet little victory from gambling or lose then we get addicted more and more.

Sometimes greediness strikes when you are playing gambling it is matter of uncontented when you are winning and uncomfortable when you lose some of your money.

The greediness is one of the reason why people get addicting of gambling especially for those people just newbie in gamble. Because like what you say they re not contended even they got lucky in that day. If one can keep gambling within limits and not go broke then it can be considered as a past-time and you need to pay for pastime. So the amount you lose may be considered as a payment fees. Then again I believe we can get entertained in other ways as well.

This thread really just continues.... now it already reach 350+ pages

I don't know what to say about your comment on this thread but it is way too far from what OP asked, lol. It looks like you don't have any experience on gambling that is why you don't know what to say or what opinion you are going to give about gambling addiction, but I know that you are addicted to something and that is what you called "passion" or "habit", in that way, you could relate it on gambling addiction.

It's the reason why we have to be aware that every time we gamble we need to know our limitations. It is all starting there, if you are not conscious of your limitation that will start to make you addicted. You win without thinking of limitation and you gamble without limitation. That's likely very possible to give you an angle of becoming addicted soon as gambling is simply addicted when we are winning.

some people know their limit but they try to push that limit over them. Sometimes people that keep pushing themselves doesnt know when to stop and it is bad which could make them heavily addicted someday. I have been getting through this stage already so I know better than most people how it feels to be addicted when you are pushing over your limit

They know they limit but they can't control their minds. It's hard to control when you are in that moment that you are thinking that gambling will help you to survive when you are in times of needs. In this time if you are feeling the same way like those gamblers better to shutdown your computer or things will get worst.

That means they dont know their limit right. If they know their limit then they should stop once they reach that limit. Some people keep saying that they cant control it. I know it is hard but when they have tried their best they should be able to do it. Just like me, I reached this state after keep on doing it and following the limit that I set

No, they know they limit but they can't control their minds. They are aware of what they have been doing all of the time but still recognizing that they are starting to become addicted isn't registering to their minds. Like now, we know what we are talking because we are on our minds but for those gamblers that don't have other things to think but only recovering their losses will continue and get addicted.

I think because you can earn money easily thru gambling and some people enjoy the challenge or competition and others just find it fun. Just think of the cons of gambling and the pros of quitting or remember how  bad it feels to lose everytime you want to try it again.  It might help you to quit or lessen your addiction.

Sometimes greediness strikes when you are playing gambling it is matter of uncontented when you are winning and uncomfortable when you lose some of your money.
Definitely there is nothing bad in life that continues with you forever, every bad thing comes and goes. Like this, profits and losses are part of gambling but the main concept of gambling being harmful is, there is a definite loss for you in the end.

Means, you will be having bad times continuously until you leave it. See all around you and make yourself vigilant and wise for better life.

you always need a job if you are addicted to gambling and don't even have a job you are finished there is no way you can survive for long as gambling is pure luck and having a job enables you to think that if you keep on gambling you are losing this hard earned funds if you have no job you won't find any reason why not to gamble

Different people may have different reason for that but to me i think the main reason can be that gambling look like as one of the most easiest way of  making money. We do not require any knowledge or gambling skill, but  there we totally depend on our luck. In fact in gambling we totally depend on our luck. But i will like to add there no one can be lucky for every time, and therefore we cannot consider gambling as an easy way of making money.

People are becoming addicted to the gambling for the following reasons:

- They want to become rich and be one of the most powerful and influential people in the community.

- Due to greediness to earn tons of bitcoin or money.

- Not contented to their average life, they want to increase their lifestyle.

- Jobless/not enough salaries for their family.

- Lack of discipline in handling money/bitcoin and etc.

There's a lot of reasons why people become greedy and addict in gambling, hopefully people can control their self to lessen their addiction in game.

It does not make sense thinking that gambling can give easy money when majority of the gamblers are losers, we don't now who they
are but by looking at how profitable the gambling industry that would only prove that it's true.
Only few gamblers can make easy money and we are lucky if we are one of them but we know our skills if we can really make it in the long run.
We have to be honest if we are not capable to win so we can minimize our loses.

Because gambling feeds all our greediness and if we can't fight it by our own then that's the time people get an addiction. There are always two things that keeps gambling addict to go back and it's either to win back their losses or they want to win again like they did last time.

For all these things the main reason is easy money people want and they don't want to work hard to earn money. That is the main reason people go back to gambling whether they win or lose money in gambling. Only smart people know how to fix their limits in gambling and enjoy the fun without addicting to these games.

People are addictive to gambling because they see higher returns with the low investment. They are not considering risk involved in it, even I feel that in the beginning and got addictive to it.

Gambling becomes an addiction for many people due to several different reasons some of them find it as a way to spend their leisure time having fun in the way they want others fall prey to the addiction just for the sake of money and they are hence considered as profit seeking Gamblers.

But this sort of behavior obviously earns you nothing in the end despite more losses. So all I can say is that we must never fall prey to addiction of gambling.

but if they can realize that their plan to trying to win the games is not always work because they are really need their luck when they are playing the games. if they are trying too often that other people, it will bring them to be an addictive person in gambling and it is too risky for him and it will makes him difficult to leave the games. he need to thinking about the risk that he could face it and he need to thinking about how to leave from the gambling places so he can save his money.
