What causes a person to become intensely addicted to gambling?

[imstillthebest]

because......

any choice in every bodies’ life is actually a gambling…

choose a wise husband from a bunch of boys is a gambling
choose a school to study is a gambling
choose a boss to work with is a gambling

so, gambling is addictive…

no one can escape...

Lol where did you get that No One Can escape gambling addiction?people are free to choose and some find gambling as escape goat while others are desperately in need of big money so what they do is gambling and without their notice ,addiction enters them slowly and before they found out it’s too late

But I don’t believe on what you said,life is not a gamble but a choice

he only refers life simmillar to gambling but its up to you if you  dont believe what he said but for me i agree on what he said  .  when we  strive everyday going to work we are like playing a gambling because we dont know what well happen to us on the road or on the work  . what if a car will hit us or our boss will fired us  ?  but these arent the reason on why there are some that are addicted on gambling   . their reason could be they cant get enough of playing a gambling  , win or loose they still want to play more  .

actually simple, when you win a gamble, someone wants to come back again for a victory that is bigger than yesterday. if you lose, someone will come back again to take revenge for yesterday's defeat. both sides make people always think of going back to the gambling table, because of their own desires.

It is the greed that act as a destroyer because when someone has won the money it is better to take it and go away but the addiction of having more money is so high than inspite of knowing that more you play higher chances of losing in gambling still people continues to play.

Indeed, this game always creates a circle and we can't get rid of it if we don't have preparation because exactly as you say, when we win, our psychology always wants to come back and continue or when we lose, our psychology is always uncomfortable and wants to come back, find what has been lost. But no matter which path we choose, we are still in gambling, this game brings our psychology into a cage and restrains us, unless our psychology relaxes and ignores everything, otherwise, we will still be stuck forever

This is so true, that's the main reasons why a gambler will be addicted to gambling, if they will today they will comeback to increase there winnings not realizing they are getting addicted, losers on the other hand will really try to recover the losses because they can't accept the fact that they lose so it is more of people's greed taking over them which prevents them from thinking of the right thing to do.

My biggest win was my biggest loss in a way. It hooked me and make me think that i can easily do this again. After a while i was in denial and i didn't count losses, i only counted the rush of the high wins i was getting. I had to make some rules to myself so i didn't up losing everything and reminded myself that i ended up gambling because it was fun. Not for the profits really, they were just a cool bonus.

That's right, no one likes to lose. that gambling is not always about winning, but rather the process of fighting, and other factors around it that make it fun. Even though gambling addiction cannot be explained simply, sometimes there are many reasons that lead to addiction to someone

  Gambling is the name of uncertainty so it is rather foolish to expect win in gambling regardless of how much you know about a particular game. One should never think about making a million dollar walking into a casino. It all happens out of probability and your strategies and ability to judge the opponent’s mind and strategy. This way, you could make money in gambling.

Yeah right that's the thing when you already got engaged any sides you take will lead you to keep coming back and the end result can be always negative not unless you have a good way to counter things out and win over.

[Coyster]

People gamble for diverse reasons, it could be to raise funds, it could be for fun or leisure, etc
The more one gambles, the more difficult it becomes to stop it, it's true so many individuals are actually addicted to the act of gambling, but controlling such addiction is needed or else sooner or later such person will lose far more than they bargained for.

Those real life experiences OP mentioned aren't gambling in any way, those are actually individual choices.

Whatever you do in your life can affect your brain, like with some actions you do in your life such as taking drugs or gambling or anything which makes you happy can make you addicted. when you do action your brain releases a chemical component called dopamine which makes you feel happy. even masturbation can become an addiction because of this. the good thing is doctors can treat this gambling addiction but more than 70% addicted gamblers do not even visit therapists at all and people who visits more than half of them return to the casinos. nowadays casino managers even ban people and have addiction recuse camps around ATM's so addicted gamblers can seek help.

In both cases it is the greed for money which causes the person to play gambling again and again even if he lose or win. And this is how a person is addicted to gambling and he never knows about it.
The only way he can leave gambling is that he run out of money and has nothing left to gamble.

This is the reason why when a person is a addicted to gambling, his life goes into crumble. His family might leave him, no job at all, no food on his table, no money, life sucks! So if an individual wants to pursue his ambition in gambling, he might want to reflect on his life and choose what he really wants to do in his life.

That's the life they choose for and leaving is in the hard thing to make it. It is already a life they know really and looking for another work/job is a big challenge for them. But they'll the choice and leaving in gambling life is something it needs to work hard otherwise, it losses our effort. It is really in our mind to keep it that way and stay in gambling or finally giving a decision to leave.

This is what happens at the beginning. The win is happening out of luck or through the information he have gather related to the game could let him pick the better odds and grab the winning amount. Experiencing consecutive wins will always tempt us to spend, and this temptation will go beyond limits at some point even when loss is the result. Someone taking a break and analyzing escapes, while the one who follows to get back the loss compensated with wins on consecutive games causes addiction.

In short. Revenge gambling + Greediness.

If you win this day, you feel that you are lucky and then you will come back to the casino to gamble (greed). Now if the table turns down to you and you lose today, you will feel that you need to get your money back and will gamble again until you lose your money again (revenge). This is the reason why gamblers are getting addicted into gambling.

if you know how to decide effectively you can have the right choice based on what is presented to you and from your past experiences, deciding in life is so much different from actual gambling, in gambling it's hard to analyze the situation compare to your decision in your condition in your life so I don't think it will applies.

Gambling creates this endless cycle wherein an individual gets stuck on a continuous loop of winning and losing, getting lost in the illusion that he/she can overcome his/her losses by betting again. Due to this conflict, one may think that he is actually earning cash but in reality, his losses are overwhelmingly more than his winnings. In order to overcome this adversity, it is highly advisable that you set-up a limit in terms of your betting to avoid betting more than you planned for.

money is the only reason everyone in this world not regretted the money so that the basic for this addiction will always came with the money needs if the person again and again do the gambling then it will be all about money so that I think their addiction is also happening due to this situation.

Yes, I agree that in all of our life is gambling. No matter we say that what we choose is not related to money, but we cannot deny that included in the gambling. But in gambling, the money will be the reason for the gambler or people to stay in the gambling games. Soon, if they cannot realize the risk that they might get from gambling, they will become addicted.

When we attract to one thing, and we really like to do that, I think we will be addicted to that thing, and that will happen in many situations. We should know that so we can prevent the addicting.

Money is one and also the habit becomes intense that results to addiction. There's a psychological study about it but I don't want to go deep about it because I'm lack of explanation and knowledge about that certain issue a person's situation once he's going through addiction. Some cases, it's a choice of an individual to become addicted if he has some other problems and finds satisfaction when he gambles throughout the entire time and if it becomes a practice that becomes addiction.

well, if it would be so simple everyone who ever tried would be instantly become addicted to the gambling. But since it is only few become really addicted then there is certainly in their background making them vulnerable .

[xSkylarx]

Desperate need of money makes most people addicted to gambling. They don't earn enough and they see gambling as a way to provide it. When they lose they can't accept the reality and try to recover it.
