What makes a gambler becomes addicted? Lose/winning?

[lovesmayfamilis]

Yes, I have seen addicted gamblers in my environment. These are people who once won a lot of money and spent it, one might say, down the drain. Having squandered everything and even more, the man was sure that he had found the button where he could get pretty easy money. His several attempts led to failure, but the story of a beautiful sum and a beautiful life haunts him to this day. However, there is no cash, and he borrows from friends. Everything turns into a cycle; when he wins, he pays off his debts and loses again.
But I also have the impression that not every person can become addicted to gambling since not everyone has sufficient funds, and there are also people who simply "help" others become addicted by lending money. Even if we exclude self-control when playing, regularly finding money to play is also not an easy task.

Well, that's a very sad situation there, and that is one of the reasons why I always say that some kind of winning can sometimes be a trap, and it takes being very conscious to avoid falling into such a trap.

I also have come across a few persons with exactly same situation as the man you talked about, I think two I know of are lottery winners, who won a lot of money, but squandered it on lavish living, one didn't even have a house even now, he spent all the money paying rent in expensive areas hoping he did never be poor again.
Today, he is so hooked to playing lottery, hoping he could make the same type of winning he did the last time, but the winning is yet to come even after having tried for about two years now.

 Like you said, they are addicted and for me an addicted person doesn't really need a reason. Although some will tell you it's because they win and there's this particular format they use to ensure they keep winning that's why they are playing, but the thing is they just get this rush knowing they've staked a game that they can be monitoring.
 Gambling, like any other thing that gives you adrenaline rush, has a way of getting to you and if not properly cjecked, can be harmful. I've known peeps who rarely win and the percentage of their win to loss ratio is 10/90 but they still have the belief that 'the third time's the charm'. These types have gone over the board and in order to meet this belief often end up in debts or go as far as stealing.

That makes sense, indeed those who cannot accept defeat will experience excessive pressure from the losses that occur and that can make them go deeper into gambling and make them trapped to the point where they become addicted and find it difficult to get out of it. In fact, things like this can be prevented by our own behavior in gambling, because it is our own behavior that will determine what the outcome will be, if we behave in the wrong way, such as not being able to accept defeat, what can happen is big losses. or addicted to gambling.
Two years is not a short time, with him wanting to win again like what he experienced, I don't think he can get rid of thinking about it so he can bet or play the game for a long time, besides that of course those who only think about winning will experiencing losses in the long term and with people you know, maybe that is one example.

A will to return to casino more and more without thinks about the money he will use to playing gambling. No matter if he wins or lose, he can be addicted to gambling and that will makes him deeper in gambling even without he realizes what he already did. He will not thinks about how bad addiction can be for him because he will he found a fun thing by playing gambling. He found his passion in gambling so that makes him keeps playing gambling.

Losing and winning is just an outcome that he gets from gambling. But a will to return to casino that makes him finally often to playing gambling. Getting addicted to gambling is dangerous because he can risks his financial because he can use all of his money including his savings to playing gambling. If no one knows about what he does, he will lose everything and can't get it back.

Many of you have seen an addicted gamblers and if am correct some of us have been addicted to gamble but fortunately for you, you were lucky to realize how bad addiction can be and you limit yourself from gamble or take a break from anything bets.
However, it's just a simple question about addicted gamblers, like the topic above.
What really makes a gambler to become addicts to gamble?
Lose or winning?

In my opinion, the most dangerous thing for any player is if he is allowed to win at the beginning of his journey. For example, a player won a large amount on the first day, of course, after this he will be the best client, because now he believes in his exclusivity and chosenness. Such a player will think that he has caught the luck of his life, but the fact is that he will not even notice how his big win will disappear before his eyes. But that's not all, this player will think that no matter what he wins, he will start borrowing money from friends and relatives, which will ultimately plunge him into huge debts. I have heard dozens of such stories, so I am sure that winning at the beginning, especially if it is huge, is the most dangerous thing for a new player.

Interesting comments.
It's not everyone one that can get addicted to gamble as it's not everyone that gamble. Few people becomes more of addicts to gamble because they felt that gamble is the easiest way to make quick money and they also figured out their own way to predict a gamble is a way that they can easily win. Gamble is more of winning and losing, it also involves fun, people with insufficient money can't gamble for long because they don't have enough money to keep on gambling. However winning can make a gambler to become addicted to gamble because at the moment he felt that he can win a lot of money he will likely deposit more money into his bet account and gamble till the money is finished. And if they lose they also keep on gambling because they are trying to recover their loses and they are not also aware that they might lose more if they keep on chasing their losses. Even if we have sufficient money to gamble it's safer not to gamble till we are satisfied because we might end up becoming more closer to gamble and it will not end well as a gambler.

More likely when they are losing and then they want to get their money back. And so they continue to deposit thinking that they can recoup what they have lost already. But low and behold, it's not like that, it's gambling and you don't know what the outcome will be and so there is this risk involved.

And once you can't get over the money that you have lost, then the addicted might set it. Will be a vicious cycle of depositing more money, targeting the money that you have lost and even if you are winning, it might not be enough as you might want to have that adrenaline rush. That feeling of you winning that big money and wanted to duplicate that feat.

I think the answer can be different for different people because some would get addicted to gambling after losing because they start chasing their losses after losing, and some might get addicted to it after winning because they would want to experience that again and again and this will make them gamble more and eventually become addicted to gambling.

For me, I'm not addicted to gambling nor have I ever been, but to answer the question according to my thoughts and mindset, I think wins can be more dangerous than losses for most people because it's a general instinct within humans that when they lose, they have a fear somewhere inside that they can lose again, and this fear might keep them away, it might not work for all but it would for most.

However, when we talk about wins, we know how greedy humans can be, so if someone wins a significant amount, they will start thinking that the same thing can be repeated again, and they will start chasing that win after a win, and this can lead them to excessive gambling.

[EluguHcman]

The both does. Loosing beyond affordability and tge gamblers inability to realize that the more gambling to recover the lost is the more more lost count be accounted has a potential possessions of gambling addition.

Winning on its own too has an attractiveness to addiction that if the gambler is being overexcited with the inability to acknowledge that gambling is a game of luck which winning possibilities would not always be at his luck might be so attracted to always chasing the profits as his luck keep shining until when the era of his winning has gone, he would not even realize anymore if he is loosing or winning and that comes the point of addiction at the course of winning.

Infact, they are neither both sides staking now to win a huge wager to increase their winning or to recover their winning but until then, they have become addict of gambling uncontrollably.

[lienfaye]

Both. Losing can make a gambler become addicted if he's the type who's unable to accept the outcome and determine to recover the losses plus for wanting also to win huge. Winning on the other side is on the same page, since a gambler who don't have discipline and contentment will never stop playing for being greedy that he can gain more.

But this still depends on the gambler itself. Because any reason can cause any form of addiction if we don't have self-control hence this is not limited to gambling.

Yes, it could be both, in the sense that winning and losing can be a trigger for addiction, but regarding defeat, I think it will not be too triggering, because the inability to accept the facts about defeat is more likely to lead to responsibility, in the sense that they are unable to take responsibility for the situation. the defeat they experienced. Addiction means being addicted to something and as we know that the object of winning in gambling is money which of course we all always need and want money, meaning that in my opinion addiction can most likely be triggered by winning in gambling.

Of course, the problem of addiction depends on how a person treats and responds to every activity they do. Simply put, if they come with a wrong understanding in the sense of thinking that gambling is a place to make money, then of course addiction is something that will definitely happen.

What makes a gambler becomes addicted? Lose/winning? If the question like this I could say both lose and winning can make a gambler become addicted why?

Winning can make a person get addicted to gambling because he just wants to make more and more money by doing simple tasks and basically a gambling like playing games in my opinion
Lose can also make a person get addicted why some people already taste the winning after that he lose the money and he just want to chase the losses that is why some people still play the game even tho he know that he already loss a lot from it

This would be a problem if gamblers gambled to earn a lot of money in the hope of winning the lottery or jackpot. I understand such situations very well. When someone who has a low economy suddenly wins the lottery tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars then he will not know how to do good financial management. He only knows how to spend the money and he satisfies all his desires such as buying a lot of luxury items that they shouldn't need. My friend has also been in that situation. But luckily he has stopped being addicted to gambling and he said that the victory of a gambler is when you know that you will not get more money from gambling.

When become a habit, all aspects of  gambling including its aftermath (either loss or winning)   stimulate a huge amount of brain cells resulting in stable positive coupling loop - the more you gamble the stronger a gambling fit.  This is the way of any addiction is developed.

Thus the key word here is the habit.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Greed can make a gambler addicted, for example, when the gambler wants to beat the house or when the person thinks he can beat the house without realizing that the house edge is mostly in favor of the casino. Another thing that can make a gambler addicted is when they are bent on handling gambling as a source of income. Coupled with what I already said, losses are another thing that can make a gambler addicted because they want to keep gambling and chasing losses.

That's right, or vice versa, where addiction is most likely triggered because of greed in a gambler, and as we know, greed will always lead someone to do everything excessively to get everything they hope for, and believe me, it's not there is the final word when it comes to greed, or what this means is the characteristic that humans have that will never know the word end. And if we talk about gambling then usually when a gambler wins $100 then they will then increase their desire again to $1000, however gambling is not only about the chance of winning, but of course the risk of losing will always be a part of it.

Therefore, if a gambler comes with the intention of earning then in the end what will happen is that they will suffer more losses, and that is truly proven. If we are ordinary gamblers then we will never be able to beat the casino, because after all, all the games provided are owned by them, in the sense that they are the ones who control your winnings and losses, so it doesn't make sense if we intend to beat the casino in terms of winning. winnings, and I would say that there is only one way if you want to get a lot of profit from gambling in the long run, that is, you have to become the owner of the casino itself.

If the person places a bet and is always visiting the gambling site or live score to check on the game that they have played to know the progress, that type of behaviour can't lead to addiction, in my pinion,  as long as they are just constantly checking and don't place another bet as they do that.

Gambling, like any other thing that gives you adrenaline rush, has a way of getting to you and if not properly cjecked, can be harmful. I've known peeps who rarely win and the percentage of their win to loss ratio is 10/90 but they still have the belief that 'the third time's the charm'. These types have gone over the board and in order to meet this belief often end up in debts or go as far as stealing.

One thing that I see as what drives most people into getting addicted to gambling is that they believe that their next game will be successful; that thing keeps on pushing them, and it takes away the idea of stopping from them and gives them the hope that the next one might be the lucky one, which that day might never come, and they will keep on losing money and will not want to stop placing bets any single day, gradually getting addicted to the game.

[...] What really makes a gambler to become addicts to gamble?
Lose or winning?

Basically what makes a gambler addicted is the sensation he/she gets from gambling, that's the beginning, it doesn't matter whether he/she wins or loses. Then as time goes by & experiences loss, an addicted gambler no longer cares about the entertainment of gambling, and is more looking to get the money he/she has lost.

This is my friend's experience & the results of my observations of him. Whatever happens, keep gambling as entertainment, don't use it as a way to make a living, because you will regret it someday.

If not anything at all the one thing that's most certain of making you an addict would be the fact that you are going after your loses and the major factor also that causes that is the greed that men develop overtime when gambling. People can get so greedy so as forget everything that might happen if they get too deeply involved in the act, what gambler fail to know is that a little pause when losing can actually save you from alot of stress.
