What Triggers Gambling Addiction

[The Cryptologist]

In my experience, it is not really the profit you are chasing after all or because you have won something on it. What really triggers my gambling addiction is my weak mind trying to convince myself that there is no way I could lose easily to that game and there must be a way somehow that I could win it all back. It always keeps replaying in my mind that I know it's wrong but it makes me think it is a raffle after a series of long streak that playing more means more chances of winning which we know is not that case.

Well, some of us really think that way, that's why we loss because we let our emotion affect our decision making.
That's the big problem if as a gambler we are weak emotionally, we can easily loss control and most of the time we will loss money as we will not be able to use our strategy properly. Only if we learn to discipline ourselves will have a good chance of winning, but that is still risky.

Gambling is only for people who are discipline, if you don't know how to discipline yourself, better stop taking the risk.

There are many factors but I will only state 2 of them.

1. Curiosity - I think many people are getting curious about gambling. How do gamblers feel when they win and lose? What are they doing so that they can win etc. This makes the person curious and will try to gamble.

2. Lack of self control - This is somewhat related to the first. Since the person is curious, he will try to gamble. Now he is winning and winning and become more greedy. He can't control himself until the time has come that he is out of money. He can't control himself because of his greediness and since he is greedy, he will do anything just to get money for gambling. Now he can be addicted in gambling because he is doing what he can do just to gamble.

Gambling is something where money play a big role so the people are having intention of making money and their greed will make them to fall for gambling addiction.Addiction can also caused by some other reason,in general the chances of addiction to something when we are sad and alone is highly possible because our mind want happiness so it will stick with the habits which is giving happiness to the person.

Yes. Money will always be the causes of gambling addiction for most people because the hope making more money or recovering losses are main reason why money use to be the reason for most people addiction. Infact, every gambler that do gambling because of the greed of making money, recovering losses and in sad situation are ready addicted from every first start.

I think most if gamblers wants to earn easy money especially a jackpot, so they always trying to gamble. After that they no longer notice  that they were have already a gambling addiction. The money is always a reason, the why most people are addicted in gambling.

"Sometimes winning isnt good at all". This is the phrase i always got in my mind whenever i saw someone or read something that pertains to gambling addiction. I see that people are so greedy and do anything to win. My observation is that, people experience winning ofcourse in gambling so they take many chances and risk bets to win again. Either the win rate is just 2 to 3 times per 15 bets, they are still getting hooked on it. Winning even once triggers addiction because people are greedy in nature. There are just people who can control themselves and there are not.

When anyone show greedy in gambling, then definitely he is addicted gambler. I aware you when anyone is ready to lose everything in gambling for winning, then definitely he is addicted gambler.
No doubt by nature we all are greedy but we have a sense that what we are doing, but an addicted person has no sense just like a sensible person think for gambling and play it, So it is a different.

There are a lot of people who aim short money in gambling. Even it is not all, you are right if money is main factor why people get addicted. Because on the other side, for people not aim a money and only entertainment purposes when they do gambling, they still can control themself so they are not get addicted.

  People who are attached to earn quick money on gambling can trigger us to creat aggressive deliberation that may lead on addiction. Unfortunately, lack of wisdom and incontinence behavior will also lead to act unusual and enxiety. But in order to evade from addiction, we have to be cautious and take control ourselves for the possible consequences.

Human nature, thats the culprit of addiction. We dont get satisfied how much we earn. sometimes we earn some handsome amount on those gaming sites but the addiction to play more and more results in losing all we have there, we all know ultimately we will lose there despite how many games we won before. Secondly, some sites don't provide instant withdrawal facility so we get forced to play more there, those ones are also the culprit of our capital loss because of this I chosen vegas because they provide instant withdrawal so I can control my temptation to play more after withdrawing amount and do some fun in real world with the help of earned amount instead virtual world.  Plus they give so many exciting offers to new users and on monthly deposition its most trustful site out there that offers a variety of games.

It always come down to greed, want, and need in money. Money has always been one of the reasons why people choose something dangerous, risky, and unpractical. Many people get addicted because of money solely. But there are rare people who became addicts for the sole reason of thrill or fun. Like I said, they are rare, like one in a million kind of rare. Some people get addicted because of the amount you can earn as well as the game itself enthralls them. I am the latter type of person wherein I got addicted because of the amount that I can get as well as the game itself lured me into playing more due to its positive charms. I play in this site for reasons like it uses bitcoin as its currency and I earn a good amount of bitcoin, and because the games are fun to play with. Who won't get addicted if this site offers ample amount of bonuses on your first and second deposit as well as your first monthly deposit. In addition, a wide range of games I can choose from without getting bored. They also got a live casino wherein I can play with different players around the globe in real time and there's a real dealer which gives me a real life experience even though in reality I'm playing in front of may laptop. If I'm going to get addicted in something, I'd make sure that it's worth getting addicted for.

Actually addiction can be prevented, it depends on the person if they are really determine to change themselves for the better. Getting addicted on something like gambling is a different kind of thing, it is our fault if we got engaged into gambling addiction since we are the only one who can control ourselves. I also play in bitcoin casino which is Vegas Casino, its great and i'm having fun because of the plenty of gaming games that they offer aside from that they are very generous on providing free bonuses. Despite of that I was able to manage myself by setting my own limitation. Its a great help because I know when to play and when to stop, gambling has a huge impact on us especially when we are playing for years. Some of you are addicted because you can't stop yourself like some of my friends who really took gambling too far, they don't even get enough sleep because of it because they want to get their money back but it isn't working. I told them about the things that might happen like losing a lot of money in that way they have realized their own mistakes.

You are partially right but I feel it’s not all about these things you have mentioned.  Everyone is greedy in one way or the other especially when it has to do with money and for fun, there is always something about wanting more until we get so satisfied and satisfaction is something that never comes in gambling.  In Economics we say that human wants are insatiable.

It only takes a player with absolute self-control to overcome all these attributes, because definitely there will always be a spirit of greed and love to play more but it is not meant to be harmful or destroy a player, it can be overcome by those who are determined to play rightly. And to correct your last sentence, nothing in life is worth getting addicted over.

Self-controlled is one of a good idea in contributing to stopping triggered you by the addiction. I strongly agreed with the reply above on me as what users stated. Don't prevail the greed over your self and most especially chasing a loss is one of the gambler's problems if they can't manage their selves and you've stated above was right "nothing in life is worth getting addicted over".

Despite the fact that "Greed" is human nature but it is the only word which is enough to explain gambling addiction.
I agree that only a single win can lead to addiction if a person can't control his/her emotions.

Indeed greediness has the ability to trigger gambling addiction. Most at times, gamblers get into losses because of greediness and when trying to recover their looses they get into addiction. Looses cannot be recover in gambling, what is lost is lost, as an attempt to get it back welcome addiction.

That is true. We see many people become greedy when they saw a chance to win and they will make a big bet in one time. But their plan doesn't always work because it will be difficult to beat the house if we don't have luck. They cannot control themselves in gambling, and that will trigger them to spend more money because they hope that in the next round, they will win the game.

I believe that there could be two reasons for gambling addiction. One being financial challenges to people who see gambling as a lifesaver which is not. Another could be immense love for the game and pure pleasure. If your frequency of gambling is very high, bear in mind that you will end up an addict and this might not sound so bad but it is very dangerous when it comes to the way it affects your life adversely.

He can't control himself because of his greediness and since he is greedy, he will do anything just to get money for gambling. Now he can be addicted in gambling because he is doing what he can do just to gamble.

Curiosity is the spark that begins this whole addiction process and unfortunately most people fall in this trap. We could compare this with people that start smoking out of curiosity. They smoke one cigarette to see how it tastes, then another one just for fun and after that it starts getting into their head so they continue doing it for a long time. The other reason why people continue gambling is because of their lack of money. When you don't have enough money and don't know how to earn enough you will look for ways to make the process easier and faster and that's what gambling is promoted for, a quick solution to make more money easier.

I think the adiction comes with the winning sensation, the true gambling adicts is because they have win big a couple of times and they want to feel that again, so, that's what makes people stop until their wallets hit zero.

Greed and addiction is not only in loss, but it is in winning too. Gambling addiction is of two types.

First, you are winning in gambling and you keep on playing with hope to win more and you lose everything in greed.

Secondly you lose in gambling and you still invest more money to play more and in the end lose more. So this can also be called addiction.

yes mostly the greed will make the person to think not more about the future and then was lot more money and get addicted into it if they are getting lost again and again.

No if you want to gamble again and again it does not mean you will lose it can be good as well, but you will be able to get profit as much as time you spend in gambling it gives you benefit you can earn from it you can learn from it, so those people who are thinking about lose only will never be able to achieve goal of life, don’t be worry gambling addiction is not bad if you are earning.

True and ego makes them reach that point. Its like every individual who can hardly accept defeat so it is also the same with gambling. They cannot accept the fact that they lost so they try even more harder to prove to themselves that they can also win until they lose all they have in their pocket.

You are right winning is what really lead to addition to gambling, because once you won a big amount in gambling the quest to win more will lead to you sticking to the games with the aim to win more and getting too greedy is another cause of addition. No one really play gambling games for fun any more but is all about the money which is very addicting.

Take control ourself is first thing that we must have before do gambling for sure. Because it can make us avoid addicted to anything, not only gambling but other bad things. But that is little hard to do for some people.

Whether we like it or not greed is in human’s nature, in their effort to earn money they choose to gamble because it’s where they can win big time without thinking that they can also lose more than what they have. We all have this mindset wherein we tend to always gamble even beyond our spending because of the hope that one day will win, not realizing that it already came to a point of being addicted to it.

Greed will always on our side, agree or not. Maybe in the first time, we can say that greed will not get close to me because I can control myself in gambling. But soon or later, if he still stays in the gambling places in the long, he will become addicting in gambling because of his greed. Many of us have proved that greed will be the biggest mistake we made, and we do not realize about this. In the end, we realize when we lose all of the money.

The money is the reason they entered the casino but the greed is what keeps them going and not stopping. Whole groups of addicts are just fed on by their inner hunger of greediness.

They are often those who are willing to defy logic because technically its not possible to beat the house edge if you are continuing to play without stopping after a green streak. But who cares about these logics when drug affected retarded brains start playing a shiny game of slots?

Greed is a fact, but not the most important one.
I think that people believe that they are not rich and due to that fact they try to make more money. The easiest way to do so is by gambling because they don't need so much efforts as it is more relevant to luck.
