What makes a gambler becomes addicted? Lose/winning?

[Zoomic]

It is easier for someone who tried gambling for the first time and lost to lose interest in gambling quickly than someone who tried for the first time and won. It becomes even worst if the first timer won consecutively that period, quitting will become too difficult even when he is beginning to get losses. I have seen people who quit gambling because they felt they weren't getting any benefits from gambling, all they've been able to acquire were accumulated losses. I am yet to see anyone quit because they felt they've won some huge figures that will last them for a very long time or maybe they've won for too long and it's time to go slowly with gambling.

Anyone can get addicted to gambling but winning on its own is addictive. People get motivated whenever they win to push harder and this is not different when it comes to gambling.

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

Greed for profit and difficult to control emotions make someone become addicted to gambling. Losing or winning is irrelevant, because doesn't matter if an addicted gambler loses or wins small or big amounts of money, he will be an addicted anyway. Addiction development goes beyond being lucky or unlucky in gambling. It's about being an insatiable person who can never get enough.

You can give 1$ million dollars to an addicted gambler and he will still put all this money at stake, willing for more profit. And even if he manages growing those funds, he will continue gambling until losing the last penny. On when he is left with nothing else he will stop gambling.

Addiction is a devastating disease, so avoid being contaminated by this at all costs.

Not all gamblers can actually resist the urge when it comes to addiction, gambling addiction is actually difficult and different in essence quitting so easily can be difficult. Concerning the question, both winning and losing can develop an addict so easily mostly when it’s done with the aim of earning for necessary needs etc. I believe any new gambler who always lose will be carried away with emotion and decide to gamble again likewise winning, most time considering a day as your lucky day is good but definitely no one can win always so let’s consider a mere gambler gambling and expecting a win always on daily basis gradually such gambler is becoming an addict.

Both can lead to gambling addiction. The repetitive order of winning, losing, winning again will eventually make a gambler becomes more excited and addicted to gambling. Until he find out in the end that he's losing more than his wins, but since the addiction has already developed, it's hard for him to resist gambling and won't gamble anymore.

Gambling caters a lot of emotions, there is happy and excitement, anger, mad, depressed, frustrated, and all of these will contribute to the development of gambling addiction. Because this do not happen instantly, but it's more of a repetitive sequence, until gambling addiction becomes irresistible anymore.

[AYOBA]

What some of people pass through in gambling is not something that a per person can repeated here honestly, because many of people are talking a gambling of their way of income that’s why they will not go and look for another way of income, and they always wining whenever ever they place a bet that’s why most people are directly lead to gambling addicted. And once it already be addicting to their blood what ever the advice a person given them, it will very hard for them to abounded a gambling. Furthermore and you those that are easily lost in gambling the type of peoples that just jumped into the gambling without required a knowledge or experience of gambling.

[DubemIfedigbo001]

winning and losing can make a gambler addicted in its own patterns. When you are winning, you tend to get very greedy and in the process you gamble excessively trying to maximize your wins, continuous repeat of this pattern leads to addiction in no distant time and leaves you very vulnerable when the losing streak sets in because you have developed the mindset that winning is your right.

while in a losing streak, you tend to chase your loses to recover, and in the process expend a lot of funds. Chasing your losses is where you make a very big mistake as the more you chase it, the more you loose and the more you are being seriously addicted. This addiction i losses can be a product of uncontrolled gambling habits when you were winning, so you are unable to accept defeat when you are now losing, and your addiction is progressively perfected.

New gamblers always think that they're better gamblers and not going to get addicted but it can come in different ways. Some individuals can get addicted from winning and it makes them to not stop gambling as they keep enjoying the games they're betting on without knowing the repercussions they are going to received from over gambling. When they're losing they become more addicted to gambling and when they're winning, greediness wouldn't allow them to enjoy the profits they have already made. As a gambler you have to be careful both when you're winning or losing to avoid getting distracted and becoming an addict.

Lose or winning?

Sometimes winning can make people want to keep gambling, especially if they are consecutive profits over a relatively short period of time. When someone wins a lot of money or does well the first time they gamble, they may think it's easy and keep wanting to win more. There are those who believe that they are luckier than anyone else and that they will never lose more than they win. This can lead to taking greater risks and ultimately losing. They may continue trying to regain what they lost, which may lead to gambling addiction. In general, the situations are not similar, although there is a pattern that unites them all, which is the desire to satisfy oneself with the least effort on the basis of preference.

[Cryptoprincess101]

When we are talking about addiction, it has to do with emotions and even though sometimes we also get emotional when things are going the right way but in most cases, emotional feeling does with a bad situation which means that addiction is more attached to someone who is not doing things the right way, so a gambler becomes more addicted when losing than winning because a gambler can just walk into a gambling office and wins a bet then decides to walk away with the winning but it's not the same for someone who lost a bet since he will have that feeling that if he gambles more he may win or a loser will consider to recover losses and in the process loses more and that is exactly where the addiction begins to come in since they will spend more time in gambling chasing losses.

What makes them becomes addicted is money.

They don't really care whether they win or lose, if losing the game makes them to earn money, they will choose to lose, if winning the game makes them to earn money, they will choose to win. If you remove "money" in gambling, some people might still get addicted to gambling, but I'm sure the number would be really low.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

Actually, and I've said it in similar threads, winning is what gets you hooked. Nobody gets hooked if they go to the casino for the first time, and nothing comes out of it. But when you win your first jackpot you get a big rush feeling, which is what you try to get afterwards.

Exactly, because the thrill of winning money, especially if it is a lot of money, is not comparable to playing for no money.

You are right because they only want to playing gambling without care with their money or the outcomes that they will gets it later. When they playing gambling, they feels their passion and don't want to let it go no matter what is the outcomes. Their gambling addiction can becomes deeper if they can't stops for a while and reflect of what they did before or no one reminds them about their gambling activities.

They will still busy in gambling and not thinks about the other things that they can do although other things can gives benefits to them. We never know how much money they will spend in gambling because they will not tells about that. They will busy to playing gambling and if they wins, they will be happy and thinks that they can still playing gambling and use more money to gambling.

That's extremely accurate and one of the most spot-on replies so far. I'd add the inability to control themselves. The outcome doesn't matter; it'll lead to the same behavior. If they lose, they'll continue gambling till they can score a large win or recoup their losses; if they're winning, on the other hand, greediness gets the best of them and makes them feel unstoppable, and instead of taking the win and withdrawing their winnings, they'll eventually end up blowing them away. It goes without saying that it's the money aspect is what keeps everyone so addicted.

Lose or winning?

Both losing and winning could be addictive, my friend, addiction to gambling means that you have the uncontrollable urge to continue to gamble. In losses, the urge could be to try more luck if it would work for you, and to some, it is a revenge spree that will lead to more losses. It gets aggravated when the person will not relent in days or weeks but tries to continue to revenge. But to others, it could be that they've believed they will become rich through gambling as their last hope. All these can infest us psychologically and cause addictions.

As for the winning, although, this is not a bad addiction provided the gambler stays in profits, unfortunately, I've seen this turn to greed and cause a winner to be setback to be a loser in betting. Regardless, the main gist in this context is that when you are productive with a thing, will you want to leave that thing? That is what is happening with the positive gambling as well. This is earning meaning for you, so no matter what you do, there will be this urge that keeps pushing you to it often to make the money the more. Of course, this can't happen without deriving your happiness in it which is good and more reason why you will be addicted to gambling more when the winning kees coming.

In a way, if we get to look at how some newbie gambler's who in the beginning of their gambling where lucky to have earn several wins before they started getting some losses and due to that they finds it hard to accept that losing is also a part of gambling too, out of concern we may wanna wish they had incurred losses instead from the very beginning of their gambling to serve as a caveat to create a better understanding of how every gambling results whether win or lose should be taken lightly to avoid developing addictive tendencies out of subjective thought of win win only.

It's true, sometimes when they have won, they can forget that defeat will still happen because with the opportunities that the players have, the chance is only to lose, not win. and when they experience defeat, they may not be able to accept it, but this will actually trigger their emotions which will make them gamble again and again until it can become an impulsive action that they already realize is wrong but still do it.
Winning or losing definitely has its own charm, for example, if you have experienced defeat and are playing on social media, there will definitely be advertisements scattered about gambling and that can make them return to their gambling addiction. This is what must be avoided, we must be able to assume that everything is over when we win and lose and that is where gambling is profitable, even though the profits we get are not much. When we can gamble well by accepting defeat, we can minimize the risk of gambling addiction. In fact, it is not the gambling that must be avoided, but the bad behavior that must be avoided because that is the problem, not the gambling.

I think that a person usually gets stuck in that addiction when he faces losses and wants to chase wins. He keeps trying to win even though the percentage of losses is greater than the percentage of wins. He only thought about how he could win and got lost in gambling - and without realizing it, he was trapped in a gambling addiction because he couldn't control himself enough to stop gambling his money, even when he had lost a lot. There are many examples of how a gambler becomes addicted due to chasing his losses and his irresponsible gambling activities, and as a result of this it is important for a gambler to be able to pay attention to their gambling habits and not to overdo it in chasing losses.

What really makes a gambler to become addicts to gamble?

Money and emotion.

You want to recover when you've lost a lot of money already and at the same time, the triggering factor of your emotion wants you to do more even if you can't do it any longer and your brain wants you to stop.

Unfortunately, that's how most gamblers end up being addicted. They are gambling based on their emotions and that's hard to control and when they are able to notice it, it's already too late to control.

Just having the mindset if making money from gambling all the time can even cause one to be addicted, to avoid addiction in gambling it is better never to take it serious, just gamble to have fun. Winning or losing can really make a gambler to be very addicted more.

Having the mindset of making money from gambling will not just make you to be addicted because there are many gamblers that are only doing it to make money but they are not addicted. Addiction comes from your mindset of not accepting defeat when you have one and retiring to try again another day. Addiction come from not being satisfied with your wins, addiction come from having greed as any money you win will not be alright for you. If you do not know how to control your emotions you are going to get addicted. Anybody can gamble for any reason that he wants and if he has everything under control, he can gamble for many years and still not get addicted. Just know you can not always win and become comfortable with the small wins  that you are receiving and with time you can win more money or hit a jackpot.  Do not be too concerned about winning  aways and just be enjoy yourself.

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?

It's not winning or losing that makes a person addicted to gambling, it's the rush that they feel during the process. When you gamble, massive amounts of feel-good chemicals are released in your brain that revive the sense of euphoria. When you win, you want to win more because the sky is the limit but when you lose, you want to win to cover your losses. I have seen many people who lost what they won and then they swore that they would stop gambling if they got their money back, they gambled to just win back what they lost but in the end, since the house always wins, they lost even more and more. This is what makes you addicted. You have to gamble for fun and never step into this circle where you think about getting back your losses to fix your financial problems.
