What Triggers Gambling Addiction

[DeadCoin]

"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.

Tendency to win the game forces to fall in again and again investing money. This would be any game. And the feel you would cherish after winning the game would hunger again for the same. Every game, it may be based on any sports, would tempt to play and experience. These are few temptations that trigger addiction.

As usually if reading medical sources, they blame for any addiction, including gambling, person's past.  The addicted player usually has one of the following issues: Violations in the field of self-esteem, interpersonal disorders or dysregulation of own state of arousal. And then you need only some event which will change the trigger, and person gets emotions and arousal he missed, and he gets a need to repeat it again.

Emotion or lack of control of it . They just keeping playing at expensed of their financial health & well being

I agree, they let gambling take control over of themselves. They continue gambling even when they're almost broke because of the hope that they might be lucky and hit a jackpot when in fact the chances of winning is very low. Self control is very important in gambling because you don't have control you might lose everything.

Gambling most of the time would not be a problem to anyone as long as they have the control.
I am a gambler who also like to try my luck betting on lottery, and I never counted my loses anymore as I know when I hit the jackpot
that would certainly change my life. I know my chance, it's very low, but since it's possible to win, I will still hope that one day I will win.
Note that I am just using my spare money, money that I can lose without feeling upset or disappointment.

Adrenaline that you get in between those dice rolls, human nature loves heart pumping moments and gambling easily provides that.

When I gamble through bots, I don't get addicted but when I play manually, I tend to get drift away.

That's usual for lottery bettors since the amount is very minimal plus you don't spend a lot of time for it. Place a bet and then wait the nexr day. Your emotions hardly gets a chance to affect your decision making also because there aren't very many decisions to be made. For casino players, this is where the challenge is. The more time you invest in gambling, the more emotionally drawn you are to it. And the more money you'll likely spend. Trigger for addiction? It starts with your interest in gambling and your decisions that will follow it.

This happens if you fail to set a goal when to stop, it's very important to have someone with you when gambling and this is a friend that you bring along is not a gambler, he will be the one to urge you to stop when you are having a long run of lost, you will get out of control if you are alone and do not have control.

Having an ally or a friend when gambling can sometimes encourages you to play more because of your ego , you need to show up your friend that you can win more and you are expert in playing that game and sometimes  your friend will be the reason on why you play more because he will encourage you to gamble  . Idk think that winning triggers adiction because for me i already feel satiafied after i won but not when i loose because i feel the need to revenge  .

Greed is a fact, but not the most important one.

Then what is the most important one according to you?

I think that people believe that they are not rich and due to that fact they try to make more money.

That is greed. Nothing more. Being satisfied with what you have is called being content and is the opposite of greed. You are thus contradicting your own statement.

The easiest way to do so is by gambling because they don't need so much efforts as it is more relevant to luck.

Yes but the luck is both powerful and deadly. So many people have been wiped off their money because of their addiction to gambling. In a way gambling is not a solution to poverty to getting rich. It is a source of entertainment and one should not waste their hard earned money there for just trying their luck. Those who dont understand this are the one who are becoming addicts.
