What Behaviors Lead to Gambling Addiction

[iv4n]

When u wish to return what u invested leads to gambling addiction. Simply more u lose more u play more addicted u are. And I believe there is gambling for fun, and its only way to gamble and to not feel sorry when u lose or not to exited when u win. Just like playing cause its intresting thing to do, more then to do something other in free time. So just dont try to return invested and everything will be fine.

I would like to get some personal opinions for a class I am taking and I would like to know what behaviors lead people to develop a gambling problem.  Some people will start gambling for fun and others will start gambling thinking they are going to strike it rich.  I would like your opinions as to why this happens. 

Traditional drinking and drugs along with those who like games of recreation and fancy are behaviours that can lead towards gambling. After a while that becomes greed and turns into a problem, especially for those with addictions or poverty.
Basically gambling starts slowly for most then reaches higher tiers, depending on a persons life situation their attachment to it variates.

Greed of money. A very large number of people have the desire to get rich quick without much effort. You just have to set the limits of loss and never go beyond them.

Yeah, human behavior and human nature also plays an important role in getting addicted towards gambling, and yes if a person is addicted to other bad habits like drugs or liquor then he needs money for sure, as you don't get drugs very cheaply one need a good money to buy it, and for that either he will choose gambling so that he can make quick money and take care of other addictions.

It is true that greed of money will lead some of them to destruction but with doing gambling we are making some effort too planning on how much are we going to earn but sometimes it is just not worth enough because in the end you will losing all your things down there.

some of them said curiosity,they sure that they know how to beat the machine (video poker or slot gambling)

or know how to do analysis to beat the game, but actually the banker and the casino owner know this better than us

the next one is greed, human people most of them has a greed behavior, so they are not easily satisfied

In my case it's curiosity and the challenge but I'm not addicted. I beat the slot gambling machine (dice)    I am interested in other games, but need a little more time to study them.

You are right that usually the banker or casino usually knows better, but not always. If you have a good strategy and analysis you can win, like in my modest attempt or in the case of the MIT blackjack team. Not only you can win, but you can win thousands.

Greed leads to addiction. The euphoria that the gambler experiences when s/he wins is addicting enough that it can fire up their greed in profiting more from gambling. Whether they loose already, the euphoria will be stucked in their heads and so they will continue in hoping that once again they can win so that leads to addiction.

laziness to work hard is the main reason people will addict to these gambling games.

[dooglus]

There's a "buzz" associated with gambling, which is both exciting and scary. Chasing that buzz could lead to addictive behaviour.

I don't really understand it. I can play micro-stakes poker and feel my heart beating like crazy when I shove all-in for $5. Then I can bet thousands of dollars on a dice game and feel nothing. It's not about the amount of money involved (for me, at least) - I find poker so much more exciting and stressful than any single-player gambling game.

If you have a gambling problem you need to be careful because if you have this you have gambling problem:
- Feeling the need to be secretive about gambling.
- Having trouble controlling gambling habits.
- Gambling when you cannot afford to.
- Your friends and family express concern about your gambling.
So that you will become addiction.

I think gambling turns into addiction because people keep having hope that they can win. There's always a chance for a win.
That's what the majority of the people are thinking when they are gambling, there's always a next round, next round more chances to gamble away.

Yes that is so true people hoping for a win, but there is also people that is just hoping to get there money back and ending losing.
Og well this is a gambling world right thats what you get if you play.

I am not a gambling addict myself but I got a friend who used to become addicted on gambling and he said that the excitement and the fun he get on gambling made him a gambling addict. Greed is also one factor that made his addiction worse. I think those two factors made someone addicted on gambling.

Yes when you get excitement about gambling like winning than you want more and when you become greedy and have a kick with it .
That is why gambling is not the problem is the people who can't control when they play it.

well everyone hope for a win, even those who hope to get back their money also hope to win in the first place and that is why they gamble instead of choosing other enetertainment.

[poplolnman]

People start addicted to gambling when they have a big winning , and they will try to chase that from time to time. Phase #1 to be an addicted to gambling. And then peolpe experienced some losing, and lost and lost again make they believe this situation will over very soon and back to the winning but it's never happened and they broke. Phase #2 already being an addicted to gambling.
Becareful on gambling addiction it's dangerous if you can't afford to calm down.

Yes exactly, because they keep thinking that there's a chance to get their money back and they keep on gambling. Which is kinda sad for people who have no self control.

I think people who gamble only think about the winnings and chances they get to win. They don't think about the consequenses that comes after losing. They don't realize what they are doing until they are actually losing and by that time they just wanna continue placing bets because they get another chance to win their losses back.

Yes the arrogant behaviour of winning each and every single bet they place money at, they wish to win it. If you place gambling as a fun and a way to entertain, you will never fall in a trouble. I personally know many hardcore gamblers who now curse themselves for gambling earlier in their life. So play safe
