What keeps you coming back???

[blackhawkeye1912]

I do not gamble to much but it always seems that when I do, I take the loss big time.  For example, I have lost over 3 BTC in the BustaBit game online.  It is fun and I like to play but I always get greedy with it.  I have won about 2.2 BTC back, but I lost more than what I have won.  For some odd reason, I keep coming back over and over.  I do not know why I do it, why do you?

Exactly, you are truly correct there pal, even you won big in the gambling your loss would be bigger than your winning amount. And greediness in the number one reason why most gambler or players lost big amount in the end. And sometimes because of simple happiness and enjoyment that gambling gave to the players why they're coming back again and again.

I think it is really fun to gamble because we keep coming back despite knowing that we keep losing, there are times in our life that we do regret we lose but after quite sometime we are back again. I know a lot of us has that kind of attitude in gambling and losing is just a normal thing to us, what is very important to us is not to lose more money that we cannot afford anymore as that would certainly affect our life in a negative way, but in the end it is still our wrong decision making that should be blame and not gambling itself.

Yes it is their addictive personality and their fool mind that they make a trap for themselves in a way that they run after money in gambling and do not want to accept their lose. While those who accept that gambling are games and some will lose and some will win then they do not run after their lost money and gambling is a better way to remain secure.

Some people are different from the other and also if you accept it as a game , that doesnt mean that you will not be coming back and play again. I treat it as a game however I do come back regularly to play and I dont see it as a wrong thing to do. I only wager small amount so it doesnt really matter if I win or lose

Treating gambling as a game to entertain will certainly make you come back if it keeps you entertain.  Setting addiction aside, the reason why people keep on coming back to play gambling game because it give them a chance to win, and people are hoping to win one day and get rich.

If one gets the idea that the game is going to make them a millionaire by just betting and rolling dice, its nothing but addicted to a source of waste of money. Technically the person is addicted to gambling and this temptation that they can win a huge jackpot is what ruins them. They can think of earning money in some other method without wasting it on gambling - as far as most of the people are concerned, they have not won jackpots.

trying to recover your lost are a bad idea , never seen someone who make it happen successfully. but people keep coming back to do it however , addiction are the reason why. your brain has been infected , so it is hard to explain actually , people just want to do it.

almost for no reason , but yes that is gambling , always work with that way.

People are coming back to get some money, wether they want it or not however when there is a chance to win some money especially with a low amount then wouldnt you take it for no reason? Obviously you would however the sad thing is that people just dont understand that as long as it is EV- they are going to lose nevertheless

yes the problem people can not fully understand what the result will be when they gamble in the long run against the house edge games which it is negative expected value and irrational , sometimes you have to think that take a risk in gambling are not worth because of this reason.

it is all too late when you have get addicted , you will do everything to gamble in the end.

There are other games than games that has house edge, for example sports betting might seem like they have house edge but if you are betting on games you know most of the times you will come on top. That is why we can see people giving tips here on bitcointalk and there are a whole lot more people like that on betting sites.

However that doesn’t take away from the idea that you will lose all on the long term unless you are really lucky to hit one big bet once and leave. House edge is not the reason, its the getting rich quick that makes people coming back.

indeed! its just a big illusion that you can really hit big jackpot just by playing dice or you can win a huge earnings by doing so, but its reality that most gambling addicts believes that they can get easy money just by playing it, most of the time they will continue playing even the numbers of winning it is 10x the numbers of losing out of it.

It may seems like that however sportsbet is the game with the highest house edge. There are alot of winner each day however dont forget that there are many losers as well. You may only notice the winner however behind the screen there are tons of other player that loses money overall even when they keep betting for favourites

I wanted to earn some quick cash

I told myself days ago i wouldn't bet again

Then just now theres a dota 2 match, i betted $50 and lost.

Damn

That is true majority of the people have this kind of though including me too. We always want to make more money with easiest way so this is the reason why place bets again and again.

People like easy money and because of that only many people are choosing to gamble to make easy money. But it is wrong gambling will not give easy money it will take our hard work money. Only the lucky people can make money in gambling. But every big loss will make us come back again and play gambling. This is our greed problem.

Well it really doesn't mater whether its wrong or not though. The lure of easy money goes beyond right or wrong. And its not just about that as well. Gambling is an exciting and fun activity that challenges people at times. Some people crave those kinds of challenges.

Treating gambling as a challenge for me is really a bad idea because you will strive to overcome those challenges (ex. you would really like to win or strive to hit target amount/jackpot) its not a good behavior because with these aims will surely lead you to play on constant basis.

Hah! you got me there mate. That's one attitude that also work against me when I gamble. I set a target hit, but when I hit it, I gamble more and set new limit for me which make me addicted to it because if I did hit I will still continue to gamble and before you knew it, to blew it all away and coming home empty handed.   But now I try to control it when I have time to gamble.

Refreshing myself and removing stress is the reason why I keep coming back to gambling. I found it helpful to entertain myself and relieve me of stress and help me to be able to function 100% in my day to day activity.  But I make sure that I will do stuff that has relation in gambling moderately.

I think we have the same purpose, although I lose most of the time but still I find gambling an entertainment activity. In life we have to balance everything and not all our activities goes with finding more money, we still time to entertain and it so happen gambling is my way of entertainment.
I don't think it will ruin one's like if we know the risk associated on it and by knowing it we have to manage it effectively.

Its not really bad to play gambling as long you do know the risk on playing too much and you are right we should make balance on our lifestyle not only focusing on too much to work and people do really need some relaxation or leisure times in life to ease the stress and gambling gets that job.

Yes this gambling will give good relief to our mind when we are in work stress. It will remove everything from our mind. While playing gambling, we only concentrate on game win other things will not come to our mind. After playing few minutes of gambling, it's really great relief. But you make it daily habit it will spoil your life.

Good for you that you did able to realize after that mistake you made.Its really normal for people to aim for even more because its part of our nature of being greedy which really leads us to problems.People do always believe when they won already they are still longing for more profits and might hitting or hoping to get the jackpot again.

It does not take an hour to really know about this stuff. You can totally understand it in just 15 minutes or so , use google and you can find everything that you dont understand in internet. It is a matter of wether someone want to know or not, they keep thinking that everything is just so random and pre-determined therefore such things dont exist

and yes the problem are people don't want to know about that fact.

they prefer to believe on that gambling are about 2 sides , win or lost , odd or even etc . which they think they can take a benefit on it by gamble in the long run and wish for the luck , where actually it is all about math , and you won't win against any games in gambling.

I dont think that they are believing on such two things, there are three, it is  not just win or lost, there are also draw, which is a really dissapointing one. As a gambler we all know that the long we gamble, we get experience and most of these experience is self control. They can control their selves to bet unto something or don't bet unto something because they know that the result is really unpredictable like on sports betting, but I did not say that they can predict the game, but because of their analization. Gambling is also a math, yes that is right, the more reason that they can win a lot of games. There are a lot of mathematician in our world and some of them are genius gamblers. You cant say that they can't win.

It's the thrill and excitement which makes everyone coming back to gambling even when people *like you, lost more than what they have won.
The are very less people who have come above the thirst of gambling.

How those beginners that already won because of beginners luck they will keep on playing gambling or will come back to win again? They will excite to play again because they know they can make it again after they lose probably they will start chasing their looses. Thats why gambling always triggered people to play.

That's what happened to me before. I though I was always a winner, back then I earned about $200 from gambling in NBA odds and betting on parlays. I though I was invincible, then I got reckless and in the end lost more than what I can afford to lose. I think that is every beginner's problem.

That's why we always wanted to play in gambling the saying of easy money but it the gambling always took our profit when playing that for too long I've been there done that I thought everything would be fine when I'm winning the game at first yep I can afford to lose because I'm winning how if you're not winning all the time? then there will be a problem how you can fulfil your needs when you don't have money to use.

Well thats partly true however the easy money term is correct as well. You can win alot of money just by playing few times or even lose it however for some people that play for fun, that term is not going to happen. As for me, even when I lose the amount is small and I got almost nothing to worry about

I know that while the house always wins, that's over forever.  The house doesn't always win against an individual - you put in $100, bet it fifty times with a half chance, and before you know it you could earn loads even if the probability is really low.  It's enjoyable even if you lose because of that possibility.

the scenario always like that , you have hold yourself to not gamble for a while but then some random feeling crossed in your mind. it seems what people called addiction , your brain really take a big role on every decision you make. don't let it happened over and over again some people with this habit really need a serious treatment from a professional.

Well addiction is really the main thing that makes people come back to gambling. Because it is what makes people's mind adjusted that gambling is really a part of their life or how the mind wants as to think about it. The more you stick on things that remind you on gambling the higher the chance you will come back. Take some time off, even in watching Dota because you also know that you can't avoid gambling even just by watching it.

yeah but you can't stay away from anything that reminds you to gamble , as anything could remind you to gamble where the real root of your addiction are on your brain , it's a disease when you feel you can't stop to think about it everytime you see something that available to bet. your life would never be the same when you have got addicted and actually want to leave it , try looking for some pro help are the only way.

Your have not matured yet if you think you will have that 50% chance, where is the house edge then. You can get 50% chance of winning per roll but the payout is not 50%, that's how it works and we should all know that, and because of that we all lose in the long run which will make the house more profitable as more people are gambling in their site. It's a simple math and I believe it's necessary that gamblers should not be blinded by this reality, to make a good decision all the time and to continuously enjoy gambling.

[bitcoinisbest]

Well I have a self control so I dont go behind when I lose to recover the lost amount. Gambling for me is an entertainment sort and should be pursed in that manner itself unless you can lose huge money and still it does not effect you.
