Gambling addiction.

[iqlimasyadiqa]

I think that the main factor is the person's curiosity while playing gambling. someone really wants to win, and when he loses then he will continue to play until the win. and when he wins, he will continue to play until he became very wealthy.

Why is someone get addicted to gambling once he gamble ?

Once the gamblers starts losing money he will deposit again to get back the amount he lost from the casino but the result is that he won't be able to recover all those losses instead he will just lose more money.

I think this is a repetitive thread. There quite some other threads which talk about the gambling addiction in this section of the forum. Anyway the gambling addiction happens when a person can't control his emotions , he just wants to keep playing and playing no matter what happens to him, winning or losing. In such case its advisable to seek help from websites like gamblers anonymous etc.

Its the greediness of one person who will lead him to gambling addiction. I can be an addict sometimes but not always. When I am playing slots I am so obsessed of trying to win the jackpot that I will lose all of my money on that particular slot. The idea that keeps me playing is that I think maybe I will the jackpot in this spin but if you do a bit of statistics winning the jackpot chances are almost 0 in percentage speaking.

Greed.

One of the oldest enemy of Humanity. One just can't have enough. You got a car? You want faster. You got a boat? You want bigger. (it is never big enuff) You got a gf? You want sexier. You got moni? You want more.

Some call it greediness while for some its just the desire to want more.I don't see anything wrong with that.Its the rule of humanity,things are just never enough.Why would one live an average life anyway ? Everyone hates to be mediocre.Welcome to 2016!

That thread will show you facts about gambling addition. It will help you perceive some basic but rampant misconceptions:
that you don't have to gamble all day to be an addict, or if you are sill rich you can gamble without worries of becoming an addict etc.

because the profit make addiction.. 

[BlackPanda]

because we get pleasure in gambling. especially when we play a gambling game and we won.
That thing can make us addicted to gambling.

Everyone thinks they can get easy money from gambling without doing any hard work, and they will keep on try until they lose everything they got. Whether they win or lose in be beginning people will keep on try their luck in gambling and slowly they will be addicted to gambling. Easy money is the main problem in gambling.

My theory is that there are a lot of slots and games where you make a good win in the first rounds. This is like an appetizer. When gamblers are motivated through the initial wins then they risk more and almost every time they not only lose all the previous wins but also their complete balance.

Lol, I am not addicted to my work, even though it gives mi profits, obviously. When we are talking about gambling addiction you have consider potential profit vs potential risk.
Gamblers usually are plagued with various numbers of fallacies therefore they can't clearly think about risk vs. reward ratio during their sessions.

[Mr. Big]

Actually there is already a thread that talks exactly like this... But anyway, mostly I think is not really addicted to gambling, they are there to take the chance, that they might win something... Some also are addicted to gambling not because they cannot quit anymore butthey have already staked something very important in their life like time and too much resources...

Work and gambling are two very different things. Gambling is already known for creating addiction to those playing it, while work is something you're forced to do in order to earn your living. Most of the time, it's not even what you really want to do in life; just something you need to do. Work is work, gambling is a luck game. You can win or loose. At work, what can you win or loose?

What are you talking about? There is no way you can keep winning all the time, in gambling there is always up and down so to get huge winning all the time until you become wealthy i dont think that is a possible thing to do unless you are lucky enough to hit big jackpot. But so far that i know if you keep on gambling and try to recover it you will just end badly

Yeah it's very true. Any profits or the victory we get would certainly give the effect of addiction and we will always want to get the victory it again. The defeat also gives us the addiction, because we will certainly be minded to do gambling again and want to get our money back. It's something that's hard to pass when we can't control themselves

Because when someone gambles and loses, he tries to cover the loses. And then they dig a bigger hole for themselves or cover it. When they cover it, they want to get to a positive and lose more. It all goes in a circle because people always want more and more and can not stand losing.

[Barbut]

Its not true that everyone who gamble get addicted. I don't know where did you hear this, but this is totally wrong. Gambling is not drug, where you get addicted very fast.
Addiction from gambling comes over time, and in that time you need to be in casino a lot. Couple bets here and there are not addiction. I gamble almost every day but I'm not addicted.

Exactly, this is why money management and discipline are the most important attitudes while gambling.
