Why there are so many people who get addicted on gambling?

[bgaf]

Im sure that many answers here are different from others. Most of the gamblers have tendency to be addicted cause we can compared it to cigarette once a taste of sensation was achieved you cant get out easily especially it involves money. Everything related to it surely can be sort of problem and conflict to one's attitude. I can consider myself lucky that Im not so into it but I admit Ive lost many times than the times I won on gambling. The key here is control, and if that one gone on your system then you can hardly stop the addiction.

In my own point of view, the reason why there are so many people who get addicted in gambling is because it is very easy to earn money with it that you can enjoy and earn at the same time, that is why a lot of people knows how to play gambling games because it is not just entertaining, you can simply earn money with it too.

Gambling is everything especially for those what we called compulsive gamblers or those addict on gambling, but it made me realize, why they get so addicted in gambling? if gambling can be the reason for them to lost their money, properties, relationship to family and friends, mental health and physical health. I know that there are gamblers who play because of fun and entertainment, but actually there are so many ways for us to make ourselves entertained without even losing our money.

But anyway, I can not judge and blame all those people because we are all different, we have different story in life.

They get into gambling without a guide and they win a lot and they think that they are lucky and it becomes a habit, they do this over and over again until they cannot the urge and they end up a victim of the thing that they think will make them money, this is the common story I read and heard from some of my friends why they become hooked to gambling.

People have different preferences in the matter of entertainment. Some prefer to watch movies or read books, while other enjoys their leisure time playing various of casino game. A person develops a gambling problem depends upon how he handle himself, but as long as you have self-discipline and you know your limitation then you can easily keep yourself away from addiction. People gamble for different reason such as to escape from their problems, fun and money. It is the reason why it is difficult to determine the specific answer to that question.

that is thier missconception   . earning in gambling is risky so its not easy   . i remember the more i want to earn the more i loose and never reach my goal  because i keep on pushing after every wins  .

with this mentality i now forgot how to enjoy gambling that is supposed to be playing slowly and sipping every moment    .  there are many addicted to it but i think the number of non adicted gamblers are still more because most people are also busy on other things like working  , so they cant easily foccus playing a gambling   .

Simply,it makes you keep playing even if you win or lose your money initially that is why gambling is one of the most addictive thing on this world.But not everyone playing frequently are also can't be considered as addicted if they are doing bets with their self control and knew the consequences of betting.

[Oceat]

I think this is all about the emotions that they have been using when gambling that's why they looked like they are so attached to it even though they have failed so many times yet they still continue to do what seems to be toxic for them. We all know how does it feels when winning big amount in gambling and most compulsive gamblers are addicted to that feelings even though it just happens sometimes. I guess these kind of people doesn't know what is risk management though.

We all have each differences which can't be controlled easily, and every answers doesn't mean we're going to force then to abide with our own ideas. Stopping addiction can't be done in short timeline, because that really needs to be done seriously. Many factors involved needs to be corrected first before every circumstances will be settled down. So, in order to prevent any sorts of addiction we must be educate ourselves financially and avoid gambling in an extreme frequency.

Because if a player experienced the adrenaline rush in gambling, he will always look forward to it. Or the feeling of waiting for the results, it is the excitement of what will happen next will make you play and play again. Self control is sometimes too difficult to fight with if you are already deep in this game. So before you immerse yourself too much in gambling, assess yourself if you can live with the possible consequences that may happen to you - like loss of your income, total loss of your assets and other financial sources. If not, maybe you still have time to back out in the gambling world.

if there is a gambler who has been addicted like that it will be dangerous because when he loses it will be curious and try to return the lost capital there and will make a loss, gambling must be careful and not be too careless so that your assets will remain safe when You have lost so you should try other methods that are safer and more comfortable.

People who don't have self-control will be addicted to gambling because he cannot control himself on gambling. When he starts playing gambling, he finds the excitement of gambling, so he continues to play for more rounds until he stops gambling, and back in the other day. He tries again in the next day to try to win the games because he found that playing gambling can give him the fun thing that he's looking for, so he decides to use more money to gamble. That is why he will slowly become addicted to gambling because he will feel hard to leave gambling before he wins.

It always started that way and evolve into habit if you keep on doing it over and over again, that is why first time gambler should have a guide when gambling for the first time, so he'll be educated on the many traps on gambling, and someone should remind him that gambling is just for entertainment.

There are many reasons why people are getting addicted into it. Here are some of the reasons.

1. Money - this is the main reason why people are going to a casino or online gambling sites because they want to get money in a quick and easy way. Lets be honest, even those who are saying that they are gambling for fun wants money too because if they want to be enjoyed there are many ways to get it .

2. Peer/Friends - If you have friends who are gambling, they will urge you to gamble and since they are your friends you will try it until such time that you are getting addicted into it. Having friends that are addicted in gambling is dangerous TBH because they can push you to gamble but still it will depend on you if you really like to gamble or not.

3. Curiosity - Many people are just curious about the feelings if you gamble your money in real betting games. This will continue if they are happy doing it until the time comes that they will get addicted into gambling.

I disagree, though you have a point but not exactly correct. When you fins yourself doing the same thing over and over again every single day even with limitations, it could be consider as addiction, mild addiction. Yes, addiction have many phases, you'll start at stage 1 to stage 4 of it when you don't change your mindset about gambling. If you're thinking you're not addicted, then you're already in trouble by thinking that way.

In order to evade the lust that gambling emits to attract us to play, we must give ourselves some time to think about every decisions we are going to execute, especially in gambling.

This is maybe because they really like gambling in which they find their true happiness whenever they are playing nor gambling so that they are very addicted on gambling and maybe just because there are a lot of influencers out there that are currently convincing them to play whenever they want so that they are intent to play it everytime that their friends are asking them. There are a lot of reasons why a sudden peiple become addicted on gambling anf another reason of this is because the habit that they have when they are young.

Well, we should think that if people have enough money for life, have a good income every month, a stable job over time, money was no longer a problem, gambling did not become a paradise for their deliverance but we also see clearly how the economy is in crisis and worse in many countries, lack of money and then lack of knowledge, gambling becomes the only way for many generations. The time taken for gambling is too long will be directly proportional to the addiction to gambling, heaven's gate seems to be hell impersonating

Gambling is simply fun. You earn money while you somehow think of a strategy on what would be your next bet and why. You think you are thinking logically but instead in reality gambling simply gambles your intellect. Yet, it overall made you satisfy each and everytime you hit the right bet and multiplied your money for two or more. And in the end of the day, luck drives us to give it another shot tomorrow. And then the addiction goes on and on until you'll realize that you have nothing left to gamble. That was my experience after I bet aggresively as I've tested not my intellect but only my pure luck in which is the most dumbest thing one must never do.

I am sure the answers to OP questions will vary because not all gamblers have the same desires and goals. Gambling is a game and almost all games will make players addicted and the level of addiction will be different from each other.

If my goal in gambling is to get money, then I will try to achieve it even if I suffer defeat after defeat before I win the bet and I am sure the answer will be different if the goal of betting is for pleasure.

^ Definitely right, if you have experience in gambling, you would definitely understand why people are getting addicted to it. The emotions the gamblers take in gambling is an emotion that is hard to resist. Technically, before the person goes to a gambling platform, their brains will release dopamine that will make them feel excited because of the chances to win. That is the emotion they are getting addicted to. Nevertheless, so what an addict will do is to rush to the casino or whatsoever with his excitement to win.
