What Behaviors Lead to Gambling Addiction

[Supercrypt]

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

Yes being aggressive, must be the prime factor which is leading to gambling addictions. Many people are intensively gambling to recover their losses or to double their betting amounts. These intensive nature always lead to addictions of gambling.

Yeah that is there own problem if they don't control there self. Maybe I am addicted for some games, but I just know how to stop like gambling. If I am losing a lot of money tan I stop.

Aggressive nature in gambling is not at all a good characteristics for a successful gambler. Because when we are unable to control our emotions and being aggressive will lead to not to follow our disciplines and unable to take good decisions at right time. Eventually aggressive nature will lead to gambling addictions for sure.

This all depends on the situations.The most common product of the clause could be "BECOME RICH -THE EASY WAY".Although not necessarily in all the cases,sometimes people are too lazy or illiterate to get a job so only way out is gambling.At times,it starts as a part of fun and then gets all of you into it! As people say if you play at Casinos in LA,its not the Casinos but the lifestyle of gambling that attracts you.

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. 

there was a similar thread about the same problem you can search for it and see what others said , this may help you with your study or whatever
for me I think gambling is addictive for many reasons , one of them that the person start gambling then he loses the money and keep trying to get what he lost back , which leads to repeat the process again and again
some gambling games are fun and they lead to addiction just like video games , you can see many people addicted to video games and the same principle sometimes applies to gambling
for me I enjoy playing poker a lot and I make some money from it , the fun part in the game is what I like about it so even when I find a good game I won't play it unless I really want to play and enjoy , but sometimes I have like 8 hours session cause I'm enjoying the game ( which is kinda of addiction in my opinion  )

it's complicated , no one can give a simple answer when we talk about addiction in general

Well for my group of friends case is that they are used to gamble since a young age. it is like they have a group of friends to hang out together and they always choose to play mahjong as a form of entertainment to waste the whole weekend easily and the fun factor is high. so it end up they like to gamble and this is like a hobby for thenm that cannot be changed anymore after like 30-40yrs of doing that.

When you start to forget all the good things in life and spend all of your time gambling, that means you have a serious problem. If it gets to that, you will need to choose... so choose wisely!

Very much spot on, actually what you see from young age is what shapes your future. I am not a fan of gambling, since having been myself a victim earlier and watching my friends getting in depression with it, but still I believe if we bet within our limits, its a good habit to entertain us.

Yes we seem to have a 3rd world, where money is the boss and gambling is the way to earn it.

If you will be selling something or loan to take a risk and gamble the funds, this sure is a sign that you need to stop. Its like selling your properties/stuff to buy coke or meth and so this is definitely a sign that you should stop else you'll commit a crime later. Maybe you'd steal something or rob a bank later to meet ends

1. wanna be rich and very greedy
2. need some urgent money but don't have it, so have to gamble to win the easy money.
3. wanna hit jackpot, no matter players play for fun or money.
4. professional gamblers like gambling and they have gambling addiction, but most of them are losing money

Yes I agree on this. People tend to do some gambling because they want to become rich and that is the easiest way to double your money or may be hit some jackpot and go home with a big cash. But they never think about how long they their money will hold, when they lose it they will never satisfied and want to try to recover all of their loss and this will end up losing more money and being addicted to gambling

Well, the most behaviour that lead to gambling addiction must be the curious feeling. What i mean is, we as a human always curious for everything that we do. So, we feel curious either we can win or not. Then, when we already gambling, plus got some luck on that day, we will have some extra money for an easy win. Thats make we feel want to make some more money then. At the end of the story, the greedy type of person will got nothing and lose it all.

That make sense and it usually starts with a win and in hopes to win more, one can simply bid more than what they have resulting to have debts on casinos just like what we see on movies.
Those we see on movies are made up stories really and its a bad combination if the addicted one is involved with drugs as well. They tend to sniff these to keep up.

I dont think curiosity will lead to gambling addiction. What I can say people only want to win in gambling but some of them never experience to lose that much and they can't accept that for what happened to them so they keep trying until they lose all of their money. They want to get back what they are losing before, this is what you may not do after you loss because you will bust for sure

[phibay]

i can only think of one , which is greed. especially when someone feel it is profitable and making money out of it. i know someone who's like that and he admit he's really a gambling addict. he's lucky so far but i know he will end up losing if he won't stop.

[wilmawilfred]

Many factors contribute to this. Desperation for money is the primary. Other factors include, desire to experience thrills and highs, entertaining atmosphere, the social status to become a successful gambler. Gambling addiction is dangerous. Once it takes hold, breaking the cycle will be difficult. Once the money is lost over gambling, its lost forever. Most of the people who are addicted to this usually go for gambling addiction programs. It helps them control their gambling habit. Some people fall into depression and get addicted to alcohol. Gambling addiction is the most dangerous  of as it leads to other addictions like alcohol, drugs and problems like depression.

A behavior i can tell because i already experienced it few times is greediness it happens after you win your bet then you feel like you want to have more then you bet again but now you are starting lose them all then it leads to getting redemption by getting back what you lost in the first place.

Adrenaline.


Studies found out that if you are very excited or rushed when you gamble, then you will probably gamble too much and lose, and get addicted to it.


The proper way to gamble is with calm music playing in the background, and a silent room, with no distractions.

I'm not a gambling addict, but the times I've bet more than I really wanted to from the start was after a big loss. (And I'm talking $10, not $100's or $1000's). There is something about wanting to recover the loss that gets you in deeper. I imagine that for an addict, they get in a hole (and possible can no longer pay a bill) so they try to recover the loss by playing more. But the hole just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
