What makes a gambler becomes addicted? Lose/winning?

[Dewi Aries]

So far I remain convinced that one of the biggest triggers for addiction is winning. Logically, everyone likes winning or getting money and everyone certainly doesn't like losing money. And as we know, winning is a situation which can trigger an increase in dopamine levels in the brain which often leads a gambler to various impulsive actions such as applying greed due to decreased awareness due to being carried away by a very exciting win.

This means that winning is a situation that can cause an increase in a gambler's interest, confidence and hope in winning, which in the end they are unconsciously addicted to. And regarding defeat, I see many people here who say that defeat can also be a trigger for addiction, yes maybe that's true, but I think that's not quite right, because logically the situation of defeat is more directed at a person's emotions, no one hopes to always experience defeat, and the meaning of addiction is "addiction to something", and I think it is very correct to say that it is "victory".

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?

I myself saw a gambling addict who was a grocer by profession. Despite his profession, he over-addicted himself to gambling which led to his initial debt and he was struggling to support the family. On that day he borrows money again and starts gambling again with that money but luckily he wins his gambling game and even gets the total amount. After he got a lot of money he paid off all the money he owed and now he's very independent maybe he was lucky with gambling money only.

Whenever I hear people say it, I ask myself how people get so much money together and even win in gambling. Because I could never win at gambling.

[hyudien]

What you need to remember is that gambling has a strong attraction, so when you lose or win, the temptation and attraction will be there and after that it depends on what the players are like, if they can't control themselves then they could be attracted to gambling again and do gambling. something else that shouldn't be done. The first win we get usually makes us more confident, but it must be noted that being too confident when gambling is not a good thing because it can lead us to losses because excessive self-confidence makes it possible to ignore losses that occur and make We are still confident that we can win by continuing gambling again.
There are many things that must be considered carefully to avoid undesirable things such as addiction and financial losses. Taking a break when you lose is a pretty good choice, because it has to be like that, the aim in my opinion is to calm the emotions that might be provoked if you continue to gamble non-stop because the losses that occur are not acceptable.

Yeah that attracts emotions and if the gambler unable to handle that feelings then he might bring his focus in it and that's where addiction will start conquering his mindset, and same with your sentiment both side either win or lose you'll push yourself forward to please that feeling and desire inside you, addiction begins when you unable to control your emotions, you'll put everything at stake jsut to keep yourself in and there's nothing that can hold you aside from your own decision and the resources that you have those are factors that affects things when you already attached and become addicted.

Indeed, they become addicted to it because their thoughts are too carried away by the atmosphere of gambling, one of which is that they only think about winning, they are too obsessed with winning at gambling which they think they can get for sure. The feeling of wanting to win in their thoughts leads them to continue gambling, whereas their feelings only follow their thoughts. It's not surprising that many people are addicted and experience losses because the uncertainty of winning makes their emotions overflow.
It's true what you said, when they are addicted, they can risk everything they have, including the assets and property they own, some even have debts just because they want to gamble again when they have experienced defeat and make them lose all the money they have. It is very difficult when you are addicted to be able to minimize the risks, because when you are addicted they tend to insist on doing risky things because they are driven by their thinking which only wants to win. even when addicted it may be difficult to find a way to cure it if not from yourself.

Anyone can become addicted to gambling and it happens because their thinking may be wrong. I say this because of the experience where I experienced as you described by experiencing addiction and finally having debt and succeeded in turning things around because of the winnings obtained with an amount that was many times the capital that had been lost. This happens because our minds are full of only thinking about winning, even though we have experienced defeat, we still think we can win at the next gambling game, so even though we have run out of money, we use other ways to make money and bet again, one of which is borrowing money and betting again. That's because there is an acute urge to win that cannot be eliminated.

with those of you who have never won big or earned a lot of money, I hope you can control yourself by not only thinking about winning, because thinking like that will lead you to misery. I have learned from experience and there is no harm in sharing experiences that might be used as an example not to gamble blindly, also with the experience that has happened I am now not really chasing wins, gambling on a limited basis is what I do now.

Which the main goal of most of those gamblers if not all, can exempt those who treat as source of entertainment though for sure it's more entertaining if they win, moving forward, that obsessions really leads them to keep playing either they are in the winning or in the losing side they just keeps adding the urge since they are feeling that kind of adrenaline rush to keep betting and not to messed up with their opportunities to win.

I see the point where being out of control can send you over into a deeper addictions, which really making it hard to adjust and to escape from keep asking for more.

Even if it hurts, we are driven to follow that high. Our minds seem to be designed to fade. And that's a risky game, man, particularly if you're waggering more than just money. You are risking everything in your whole damned life. Good for you; you're dabbling now rather than jumping headfirst. Still, that represents only the top of the iceberg. You have to go deep, guy, figure out why you need this rush. Is it more about winning than about anything else? Though it may also be a tool of self-destruction, gambling can be entertaining. Let it not blow your life, your relationships, your pleasure. Be sincere with yourself, guy; then, grab control

[pawanjain]

In most caes, it's the sense of winning in gambling that makes a person get addicted to gambling.
Everyone likes to win and so some people go to any extent just so that they can win.

Not just to the extent, they do all thy can to win. Gambling is a very Interesting experience. When we make our first wins gambling we have this inbuilt confidence in us that he's we are now profitable in gambling. Then gradually you start to make new plans on your next game. You find any means to make sure that your next round will also be like the last.but then when it eventually turns out bad, we just keep telling our self that we will win the next. Or the next we loss. Then it becomes the next and the one after. Unfortunately for such person he already is addicted. He won't stop even if he wins. That because he will want to get back all what he had lost.

The first thing is that gambling is easy whether we win money in it or lose.
So when people win easy money they get addicted of doing it again and again.
When they lose money they get into chasing loses and since that process is easy they keep repeating it.
They don't realize how easily they are losing their money and hence they end up losing it all.

Gambling is clearly a risky thing, therefore as much as possible we must be able to do it with awareness and set limits whose aim is to prevent addiction which can harm us financially or mentally. with the absence of limits and awareness, players tend to make big risky decisions such as risking everything including their savings, of course this would not happen if there was awareness and limits set so I think everyone when they get to know gambling already knows that it is something that at risk, they just need to correct their wrong thinking.

Of course, gambling is not just about winning or losing, it involves thinking that can determine the future. Apart from that, survival is determined by what kind of gambling is done, if someone is only full of thinking about winning, then that is a wrong start and can make them addicted. What you say is correct, gambling is entertainment, therefore we have to do it in moderation, do it within limits so that it doesn't destroy our lives in the future.

They will of course get a sense of entertainment if they can gamble, in fact, in their view, it is nothing more than entertainment. and of course the aim of the gambling carried out is not all the same, it's just that perhaps more of them are those who aim to make money, whereas with such a goal it is possible to make them more disappointed when the results that occur do not match expectations with the aim being to make money, however The result that occurs and is obtained is that defeat tends to make their emotions provoked.
If they think too much about winning or only think about winning, of course it will be difficult for them to stop, because their adrenaline is provoked to continue gambling because there is victory waiting for them on their minds. However, this needs to be addressed because it is impossible for them to continue playing so that they can win for sure. there are many triggers that make wrong feelings happen and make them take wrong decisions and lead to addiction.

Indeed, there's more pressure when you lose as inside gambler's mind there's always hope that once you try again luck might trigger and allow you to recover, it's just a repeated actions that will give you that urge to keep bringing yourself in and try betting in each sessions that you'll have that chance to make money, I guess the fun always been replace by greed as intention to make more keeps you getting excited and let your feelings unable to control yourself and always push forward to try making things happened.
Gambling though can also excite you when you are winning that kind of experienced also attracts more attention and the chance that getting addicted is also possible.

If the purpose of gambling is only for entertainment, maybe the pressure will not be a problem because the thought of aiming for victory is what creates pressure and makes us want to continue gambling or indeed want to recover losses. what you said is true, the possibility of pleasure will be replaced by greed when gambling is indeed done with the aim of making money. the urge that will arise to continue to force oneself to gamble will occur with the thought of gambling to make money.
losing or winning is the same, it can draw us deeper into gambling if the goal is wrong, so what makes us addicted is our own thoughts and behavior if we look at losing and winning I don't think it has a big effect if the thought and purpose of gambling itself is indeed only for entertainment. saying that victory can be more interesting makes sense because the victory that has been obtained can make us think that we can still produce even greater victories and of course that will make us gamble longer.

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

If I'm to give a straight answer, I will just say greed is what get some gamblers addicted. If one can get their greed in check they will be able to get their addictive tendencies in check too such that they are not only going to reduce it but may not even get to that point in the nearest future. Winning or loosing isn't supposed to make gamblers addicted these are mere effects of gambling so following up with them in any extreme gets you addicted.

The games themselves are geared to get people to play as much as possible, which should not be surprising as everything is geared to try to increase the consumption of their products, it is just that when it comes to casinos, they have mastered this to the point many other businesses can only dream about, but it is precisely because of this that we need to be very careful when we gamble, as just a few mistakes on our part could be enough to cause a long term addiction that will be very difficult to overcome.

[Stable090]

So far I remain convinced that one of the biggest triggers for addiction is winning. Logically, everyone likes winning or getting money and everyone certainly doesn't like losing money.

I have seen some gamblers in my locality, they haven’t won any reasonable amount of money from gambling, and they are already addicted to gambling. Most of them are pushed to keep on gambling just because of the stories they hear, they see people around them winning, which is always motivating them to keep on gambling, hoping they are going to hit a jackpot if they don’t give up. Also addicted gamblers do motivate each other not to give up because their time to hit a jackpot might be close.
 
So I won’t really say it’s only winning that makes people addicted to gambling, but it’s both. Just that if you have won some good amount of money before, then you will find it very difficult to get back to your right senses, but if you haven’t won any good money, you will find it kind of easy.
 
But the best thing is to just try to stay away from addiction, make sure you understand what gambling is all about before joining, avoid having the mindset of making money from gambling, just gamble for fun, and that’s all. If you are looking for a way to make money, then get yourself a job and work.

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

I can say that just as gambling have become very common this days, and with the use of smartphone and an internet connection, one could be able to gamble anytime at anywhere around the world. So when it comes to what makes a gambler gets addicted, I will say they are as follows;
1. Easy Accessibility: This is when a person due to easy access to gamble from phone tends to keep on gambling always and as such, may lose control and gets addicted.

2. Unemployment/Poverty: This is another reason likely to make people get addicted to gambling, because when a person is unemployed and poor they tend to look up to gambling as the only means to get them out of poverty if they are lucky to win a jackpot. And when a jackpot tends not to come, they keep gambling more, with the mindset they will someday win that life changing jackpot.

So these are the two reasons I was able to remember today.

I think winning and losing is one of the main factors why someone can be addicted or can have a greedy nature over gambling, because if the opinion is reversed, it is impossible for a gambler to be greedy to lose, right? Then the greed comes when having a win, when having money earned from gambling and thinking about getting more money from gambling and that's what makes someone addicted to gambling.

The correlation is very clear that people who have big wins always want to get big things from gambling, and that causes gambling, greed occurs because they have won, not experienced defeat.

In gambling the more you win the more you want to win more so it has no end and it is a continuous thing and that causes the addiction of gamblers. And also those who lose always want to regain their loses so it always a continuous gambling and hoping that one day they will win their lose and also that can lead to addiction. Therefore I believed the losing and winning can lead a gambler to become addicted.  But if you look at it very well it is the winning that lead the two.

It is the winning that makes people to be addicted because as you win, you are happy to continue gambling but if you lose, you might be angry and leave gambling for good but winning will make you to play gamble continuesly.

I do not think only greed leads to gambling addiction because there are other habits that can lead to addiction. Gambling addiction cam happen when you are winning and when you are losing and greed can not happen in both situations. Greed happens when you are winning and revenge happens when you are losing. As you are losing you will get frustrated and want to win back your lose money by gambling more and this can lead to addiction because when you are always gambling, you will get use to gambling all the time without having control over how you spend therefore you will get addicted to gambling without knowing. As gamblers we need to watch ourselves to know when we are over gambling because there is nobody that is going to inform us because we obviously do not have gambling buddy.

But if those who have lost in gambling continuously and never get a win even from bets or games that are done I think they will not pursue their losses even though they spend a lot of money, unless the person has won from gambling, once he has won, it will make him think that maybe he will get lucky if he continues to gamble and will return the money he has lost before.

I wouldn't even allow myself to lose more money if I never got a single win from gambling, and neither would anyone else, because it's like having no hope of luck in gambling.

It is not the winning or losing that makes a person addicted to gambling, but the emotions that a person experiences during the game. I think that winning or losing is important as a person experiences during the game. I am not an expert, but in fact, the topic of addiction is most likely not easy to answer in one message, reducing everything to only losing or winning.
