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.

Gambling has certainly will end on Addictions, if they don't you feel (according to you) then it is the beginning that you are already experiencing addiction in gambling. As someone who has done something bad thing surely will never admit it with words or oral, but they admit it through their attitude. Addiction is indeed badly but could not control myself much worse, for the self control will provide a greater impact than an addiction.

everything that instant always addicting, like gambling
It's also giving the sensation of giving you desire to win some more when you see others hitting the highest stake for each day. It's attractive and that's why gambling is addictive that way, everything that someone can mention about addiction can be found almost with everything as it gives satisfaction that can't be compare to a simple happiness.

Because gambling provides a dream to make money easily and very quickly. Some of them maybe successful, but certainly most are money and time wasters. And because it's done continuously, in his mind to make money only from gambling and gambling. That's what causes make peoples get gambling addiction.

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?
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.
Greed has totally led huge number of people into the trap of being a gambling addict. I want more wins or I have to recover my losses, is what keeps running through their mind every time forgetting that you cannot know what happens next and you can only guess.

It takes a whole huge level of being able to control oneself to be able to get hold of such impulse as it is kind of inbuilt in all humans and you just have to fight it, otherwise, just stay away if you can't.

That is a wrong thinking, gambling does not provide easy money if you do not have the skills, you need to be smart and be talented to be consistent in the long run in order to make gambling as a source of income. It's addicting for some because we keep trying and trying and we make a lot of strategy to win but it's still not enough to make us profitable, the end is result is always not in our favor as we might be bankrupt which is worse if we don't stop on time.

Gambling is a type of game in which there are two equal opportunity is present win or lose it depend on the luck of the person either he win the game or lose the game. In gambling also there are two opportunity is present in front of the person either he win or lose . Everyone start gambling for their enjoyment or for their too spend some time with friend. If he first time to win in the gambling then their interest increases towards the gambling and the person is slowly slowly addicted towards it if he countinously win the gambling for some time.

You just need a bravery and you are good to go to gamble , nothing else.
I just feel it is completely bullshit when people talking about skills could earn you easy money and a nice winning .
Luck is everything in gambling , just give it a try to gamble continuously everyday with your skills , still it will only gives you a loss.

If you have a clear cut plan i don't think it will be so addicting because you know what you want and  what you don't want in the first place and you can easily stop or start depending on your intended target.

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.
The thing is that addiction is a topic that would keep getting so much discussion for life as long as people keep gambling. He might not understand what some people are passing through daily with addictions, but sometimes, most people just don’t find help easily and then come here to look for ways on how people perceive it if it could help.

There will always be newbies to gambling and there would always be addicts and then there would always be this discussion.

People keep coming back to gambling because they want to make easy money. We all want to make money but some choose gambling as their main source and they keep dreaming about wining a huge amount that makes them rich. Some do actually realise their dreams and become rich and that's what motivate the others to keep playing 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.
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.
This is the thing that everyone must understand as a beginner in this field. We all must not close our eyes just to ignore the fact that gambling is not good in any sense. It would ultimately cause the great harm in the end even if someone is finding it as a way to earn money on temporary basis.

Gambling itself is quite addicting for most of the people who get involved in it just because it is a way of fun for some and earning for others.

But once you have tried gambling and you won a big amount, I guess that is the start that you are going to be addicted on it, but it still depends on how much you control the urges in yourself. Gambling is not that addicting if you are just treating it like a pastime and not a living, because if you are doing gambling just for pastime, losing your money is not that big deal since winning is not your goal, but if you doing it for a living, then losing your money on it will be a big deal and you are going to be addicted to it even more.

Some do actually realise their dreams and become rich and that's what motivate the others to keep playing more and more.

The common reason is the addiction towards easy money, though not all gambling are easy, there are options where you require knowledge and skills to help your luck, help you win. Money addiction is really a dangerous problem in gambling world which has ruined many people, but the ones who could control and gamble, which is quite rare and who are not addicted are just to enjoy the games related to it.

Also there are gamblers who is addicted not for money, but for fun or enjoyment they get from gambling or trying there luck. Encountered many such peoples, mostly they are businessmen.

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.
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.
Yes, You are right .the only thing that one could not feel the losses himself and find out that he is actually an addict is that his self realization is lacking at some point. No one could ever bring harm to himself without even stepping back if he has realized the harm.

Simply, being an addict is mental state where you cannot decide between the good and bad for you and keep on trying again and again with the same results.

Lol having a target , limitation on how much you should stop in case you lost/win won't work.
Gambling since first day its found is addictive , those people who come to gamble have to accept the risk to become an addict later.
To expect to get an instant cash especially when you are in urgently needed make people think gambling is completely addictive.

I suppose one of the main reasons is the illusion of getting rich quick and when you do win you think next time if I put in a little bit more then you will win more.  It is an addiction that is hard to kick for sure.


Because of their own self discipline that they can not control. I must say,  you know how to become a better one,if you should better keep to control your own self discipline.And Why is gambling so addicting because of your losing of your gain to become addicted with gambling.

Why is it so addictive?

Gambling s very much like drug, proven and tested. I do gamble with my cousins when we were a kid. That time I am so addict to the point that, even though my mother calls me I am just ignoring her so I can continue playing. I find gambling addicting because I find thrills with it. It is not boring, like spicy compare to ordinary foods. Sometimes when it is my last money that is the time I will win big. In doing gambling, I find friends, I find happiness, stress free, chill and even though I lose I win. I just say it is not profitable even though we can earn money from it. I beleive gambling is made for fun.
