What makes people so addicted to gambling?

I got addicted in poker becaues I won in tournaments for one month straight. But after that I always lose for 3 months. Good for me I did not deposit anything I just play on freerolls.

Easy to understand but difficult for the gamblers to get rid of it. If they win, they want to win more! I they lose, they will try to recover the loss! So gambler will never stop until losing all money!

People have addictive personalities, most people have a vice, some choose drink, cigarette's, drugs, prostitutes, making money even religion.

I don't think it's a weak personality trait.

Some people get obsessed with gambling, it's only a problem if you're betting with amounts you can't afford to lose which unfortunately seems to happen to some people.

Do you know anyone who is heavily into gambling?

i am Curious to know the different views about this above questions

Here's what i think:

1) Misconception that Gambling is an easier way to make money.

2) Imagine You bet 1 BTC at 90% and you win. You just got 10% profit. Now imagine you convert 1 BTC to fiat and deposit at the Bank. Wait for 2 years to get some 12% interest. Which is quicker? Of course betting at 90%. Idk why people never understand that 90% chance to win is not 100% chance to win. I've seen people loose 5 times in a row at 95%(thankfully all were 10 satoshi bets).

3) People win smaller and that makes them happy. They start playing more.. Another big win... Again start playing... HUGE LOSS.... Now what? Now, they want to recover what they lost. They bet again and again until they loose everything...  Proof? Same thing happened to AKCoinMiner at Primedice

The games are designed such that to attract people and play long time so at the end people addicted slowly. It is quite dangerous to addict these games.

easy money of course, i mean it's not so hard, you just have to be lucky and you can win lots of money, also when someone tries to gamble and loses, they wants to win what they lost, so they gamble again and again till they lose everything

People keep waiting for them to get rich, and they purposely ignore the fact that the house is against them. They bet against the odds, just to win big.
