Gambling addiction will only ruin your life. I believe that greediness will lead you to loss all your money and when you have nothing left in your wallet, you will start find ways to cover it and continue playing by selling your stuffs or borrowing money from other which are very worst, it is not a healthy mindset anymore.

I totally agree. that is why we should only gamble in moderation and with the money that we can afford to lose otherwise, we end up getting really in bad shape financially and with our relationship with loved ones and friends.

I think maybe one of the reasons is because some people belive they can make quick money gambling. Once people start to win money they start to take more risks, this can lead to a continuous cycle in which a gambler keeps losing money. Other people find it fun to gamble so this is the reason they get addicted.
I agree with you. People or rather the human being do not like making effort to gain something. They want the easiest way out, and since gambling is considered the easy way out, they always cling to it as if it is a real source of money while, in fact, it is nothing but a mere addiction that leads to mental sickness. Moreover, people are always hoping to win, and even if they win, they get greedy and start betting again.
The only simply briefed advice that will be better for every gambler right away here. We are not going to say the things are not on our side if you dint have a wish to earn money. Everyone wants to get money and for that addiction is there if you are even going in casinos for the first time. So better is to avoid such bad habit earlier.

Some people say it is inevitable to become addicted to Gambling, but the reality is just a matter of self-control and awareness of when to stop. It does not have to be addictive if you know certain things about it.
So, addicted gamblers are only those who lack expertise in self-control and lack awareness when to stop.

It is inevitable if you are gambling everyday and you don't have other things to do but only to gamble. Saying that it is just about self-control and giving yourself a limit in gambling is easy with our words. But if you came to the point that you are experiencing hardship to win and you are focusing on winning, you'll notice that you are starting to become addicted and you'll remember that it's not an easy thing to quit gambling.

gambling offers ease in profit, I mean gambling can benefit a lot in a short time. people will think gambling it's an easy job to get money. Therefore why people would get addicted when they had once gamble.

because they think that they can make money as fast as other people do, but i'm afraid that they will not make any money if they don't have experience in gambling. win or lost is nothing matter to them, as they only make money. and then slowly but sure, they will become addiction and never stop to play gambling.

Even if they make money they will gamble again and again , the problem is the character of greed in man

yeah and if they gamble again and again, then they are just risk their money and they can loss their money. without stopping their habit or at least they know that its the bad habit, they can be an addicting person in gambling.


it's easy to stop gambling. You should control your self to stop it.think of ur family. you can play gambling but limit ur self

i won't said that stop gambling is easy because in out there, many gamblers want to stop but they are having difficult and even they thinking their family, if they don't have a good support from their family then they can come back again in gambling games.

Everyone in this world need money for their living, making households, coping needs and all other stuff. We all are here on this forum for earning money and many are doing trading for money.

So addiction for getting money is not new, it happens with every person on the earth. The thing is only go to good resource of earning money, not those who harm you.

gambling does make everyone addicted. although in a state of losing or winning, indirectly gambling it makes people who play it always feel curious. I myself also feel gambling addiction.

Agree! I've known a lot of people who ruined their life because of gambling addiction and its really alarming, this case should me taken seriously with the family. When a family member starts to gamble it should be prevented right away before getting addicted to it.

Only those people who come to gambling just to win become addicted. This is my theory. If you gamble just for fun - you will never become addicted.
I play really often and do it only with Bitcoins from the signature campaign, so I am not regret if I loose, who knows how many coins I lost already, by proximately counting it's something like 3 BTC. Now it's a big money, I know! But I don't feel sorry, I didn't invested in gambling money from my salary or family budget, so I feel clear myself.

That is really a great way to gamble, just for fun and only use money out from your main source of income and just have fun and be entertain gambling. However, if you aim to earn profit from gambling and invested bigger amount that would really hurt your pocket, then this might lead to gambling addiction once you start chasing your previous loses.

Gambling is a diverse activity, so different types of gambling addiction exist as well. It is not always obvious when someone is addicted to gambling. Contrary to popular belief, the act of gambling is not restricted to slot machines, cards and casinos. Purchasing a lottery ticket, entering a raffle or making a bet with a friend are also forms of gambling.
Gambling addiction can occur when a person feels that they are in financial ruin and can only solve their problems by gambling what little they have in an attempt to get a large sum of money. Unfortunately, this almost always leads to a cycle in which the gambler feels they must win back their losses, and the cycle goes on until the person is forced to seek rehabilitation to break their habit.

Gambling is give addiction to the people who believes in luck, because of auspicious many people always trust on their hunch due to they expected that thru help of this word "LUCKY" there's a possibility that in one click of finger they will become instant millionaire. However, sometimes gambling is not bad to us especially when they used it for fun. In additional just always know the limitation of our funds to lessen the amount lose in our savings.

There are people who gamble with the belief in numbers because in gambling math is a great way to increase the chances in winning. Knowing how much you are going to bet in order to get back what you lost. That's a great way to recover money if you know how much. Don't limit yourself with just luck in my opinion.

There are really good strategies out there that mitigate your risks of getting your bankroll turn into zero in an instant. Some of the examples are creating multiple betting sessions by dividing your bankroll,pre-planned bets in terms of betting in incremental value as it loses to cover said loses in the next bet, and so on..

Your strategy is safe though but even with those strategies you risk losing your major bets and wining the minor ones to recover your bankroll and you can have that run for a long time without turning in profit. Eventually you might give up and try something new or quit completely.

That is the reason why I even quit to 100% focusing on gambling on a regular basis. I turned to trading, with few sports betting on the side while working back with clients for my services. Before, I make gambling my full-time source of income until I get burned out and need to have a break. Now I am just gambling for fun and not on a regular basis already.

Why is someone get addicted to gambling once he gamble ?

Gamble is quite like a trap . If someone loss we want to recover from it and if he wins he want to win more. Thus he got stuck is the trap of losing and winning. Greediness of earning money fast is the main cause but the reality is, most of the player end up loosing.

It is somewhat a trap for people who cannot control themselves. I guess we all have that trait that once we are attached or attracted to something, we would feel different. Greediness is something that you should stay away from, all the seven deadly sins. It's definitely something that we should learn to see in ourselves.
