How gambling addiction develops

[Hispo]

Gambling only develops when the gambler has experienced several winnings at the casino, and because they are experienced and know the feeling, they will seek and chase the good feeling they had when they won a good amount at the casino.

There have been many people here in this section of the forum that the worst thing which could happen to a newbie within the world of gambling is to have a pretty good first session and win a significant amount of money, because that would make him to be completely hooked up from the beginning and the chase for losses would be just a matter of time to him, from there, the path towards addiction is almost certain.
On the other hand, of someone is a newbie and had a regular or a bad first session on the casino, they would grow cautious on his future deposits and the way he will manage his money, knowing it could be all lost pretty quickly.

Anyhow, there are several ways someone could develop addiction to gambling and each person who is addicted has a different story to tell us, it is never exactly the same for everyone..

I will add on the addiction the fact that a player that starts to put more time on gambling because he is always winning.
A gamblers knows the beginners luck and some people dont know when to stop.
If someone is winning continously, the time of loss will be the time of dawn as he will continue to pursue the winning time again.
and once he felt the addiction in gambling, its late but not too late to stop and bring the old you.

i hope there will be noone to add on the list of  addiction in gabling.

When a player quickly loses their first deposit they usually develop a completely different attitude towards gambling compared to a player who wins big from their first deposit. The one who wins big right away sees an example of how they can win and even if they lose their first deposit they will think they just did not have enough experience and will do better next time so they will come back more than once. But the one who loses their first deposit will have a negative experience and will be much more cautious about gambling. It is also likely that their next deposits will be much smaller.

Gambling only develops when the gambler has experienced several winnings at the casino, and because they are experienced and know the feeling, they will seek and chase the good feeling they had when they won a good amount at the casino.

And they will do it over and over again without realizing that gambling becomes a habit, and they do not notice that their losses are getting bigger and bigger and when they notice that their losses are getting bigger, they do not realize that they are chasing their losses until one day they discover that they are addicted to gambling.

It's not wining that push some to be gambling addict, sometimes many people will gamble and win they will not partake on gambling for long time, but some people will gamble and lose and those people that lose will be just looking after their loses,  nothing pushed someone to be addicted in gambling than when someone is chasing the lost in the gambling, so we need to understand such, so that we will not end up getting addicted, so many people who has lost out in gambling is the one that is addicted today because one thing will make you to be addicted unknowingly

Gambling addiction can develop through winning, betting is a game of luck , whereas if you are lucky today doesn’t mean you will be tomorrow but some people will either increase their stake with the hope that they will win ,with that they gradually become addicted to it without knowing, at the long run they will  starting seeing the effect and struggle to stop but it will be a very difficult, while some do it for fun and excitement with the hope that their favorite club will win and end up Staking all they have , that is how addiction start without them noticing it and most people don’t know where and how to stop.

I think that everything starts with thoughts. Let's say some newbie gambler played gambling and even won, for example, he was lucky and doubled his deposit. This happens often, but few can maintain this success. Well, such a guy will most likely start thinking that he got it all easily and now he can easily repeat such a win again. He is already mentally thinking about where he will spend the winnings.
And as a result, he returns to gambling with inflated expectations of winning.
But according to the theory of probability, he is no different from thousands of other players who have now come to play in an online casino. And therefore, he most likely will not be able to repeat his success.

It is about being able to accept your loss and that you made a mistake. Many people have issues with this in their minds.

Thoughts are involved yes, but more subconscious. it is about actions. If you gamble today only and don't repeat it, thinking about gambling won't make you an addict. But if you repeat it and gamble again and again, your thoughts are just making this process stronger and faster and eventually you get addicted.

Most of it are because of those losses that a person can't afford to let go, they'll keep trying to push forward to recover and they just keep getting same outcome, and like what you said there are gamblers will keep chasing till they already suffered to addiction, though it's not only them who can suffer but if those who also experienced some win might involve themselves too much thinking that they can easily repeat things up then lose after.

They are also prone losing then start chasing and become addicted when there's no more success anymore with how they played or pick the game.

Yes, that's correct. In my case, that's what happened. I won x5000, x10000, and x23000, and I can say that it becomes addictive to taste that sweet win again. But after some time of losing some of the winnings, that's when I stopped playing hardcore slots. I feel like it became a stressful game, and every time I experience a losing streak, it frustrates me.
It's not healthy, both mentally and physically, which is why I somehow managed to control it. It can damage all of our duties, and it's better to just play it for fun.

You are right in thinking that gamblers who lose their first deposit are more cautious. The attitude of gamblers who win their first bet may not be as positive as that of losing gamblers in the future. This is because most of the time they are likely to lose. The risk of losing the deposit and the consequences of immediate defeat teach a cautious attitude and limit the allocation and can be positive for being a calculating gambler. The greedy attitude that comes with winning again after one win makes him more aggressive to play on a larger scale. The habit of gambling by adding more money puts you more at risk of losing and towards addictive consequences, but regular and ideal gamblers allocate a limited amount of money to each bet and increase the number of bets to spread it and increase the chances of winning.

A person that starts gambling more often it could be daily or weekly and most of all it starts to become an habit.On several occasions,you see results and wins that are fairly attractive to start with.There are various phases before one becomes a complete addict in gambling;over the years, gambling has been a means of reliance for financial aids and an escape route for emotional pressure that's what triggers addiction majorly.

You are right and i agrer with you that time to time the engagement on gambling is increasing and it is happening for the easy access of internet  as well as other necessary equipment. And more engagement happen when there is any occation eg IPL.

Gambling addiction can develop through winning, betting is a game of luck ,

I don't think gambling addiction develops because of winning; I think it is the lack of understanding that makes people believe winning can be easily gained. And with luck on their side, they feel so much pressure to gamble with large sums of money. I think we don't have to blame winning at this point. As far as gambling addiction is concerned, I will always blame greed and a lack of understanding of why people become addicted to gambling, because someone who understands gambling very well will not allow winning to control their gambling limits. Ignorance is the root cause of addiction, as people are often content with what they understand and never make any effort to gain more understanding.

[Mindyspace]

I believe that everyone here is an experienced and responsible player, but we are still subject to mistakes and one of the most frequent is losing emotional control. We all know where this can lead us: losses. And the greater the risk, the greater the loss that can come with it.

Therefore, it is essential that, before making big bets, we are emotionally centered and disciplined enough to follow our strategy consistently.

Help me answer a question:
Do you use any techniques to maintain discipline even in the most tense moments of the game?

[Onyeeze]

The way gambling addiction happens to one Mr A it's not the way it will happen to one Mr B, because I know that in gambling someone most develope much feelings that will make the person to be gambling addict, secondly, someone maybe chasing loses in the gambling and lure the person to be gambling addict, they are many factors that can leads to gambling addict, that is why I said that we have different things that can make someone to be addicted in the gambling, from my views, I think so many persons who is gambling addict today, doesn't know that they are addicted in the gambling except someone close to them informed, so as I said before that many things can contribute for someone to be addicted in the gambling, even when you feel that is only way of surviving, that can also lead someone to be gambling addict.

You actually made me had a little ironic chuckle when I read from you that everyone here in this section of the forum is a responsible gambler and have enough experience not to fall into the bottomless pit of addiction. As a matter of fact, there are gambling addicts here in this section of the forum and I know it because I have interacted with people who have openly told me they have experienced addiction and they actually use the money they win from signature campaigns to gamble, and end up losing it all, holding to the hope to recover all what they lost with the payment of the next week.
So, even though you were not ill-intentioned when you said that, it is rather an exaggeration to say all of us here are responsible and experienced in gambling. There are folks who have a lot to learn yet before they can control their personal finances and not to put their future at stake.

[LUCKMCFLY]

For me, gambling addiction develops firstly from the need to earn more money, to have much more, another thing is when money is lost the person will try in any way to recover it, and that is why they become desperate and try by all means, but the money runs out and the person becomes desperate, that is when the first signs of addiction begin, because they sell things, they do whatever it takes to get money to gamble and that for me is the beginning of everything bad.

Gambling addiction happens in both ways, when you win and try to win more, or when you lose and have the thought of chasing your losses. Some people get into addiction without realizing, when those characteristics are displayed, it seems normalized for all gamblers, an attitude that every gambler keeps, meanwhile their financial life is draining towards poverty. Addiction creeps in and to be free it has to be dealt with from the early stage.

Each gambling addicted is different. Being gambling addicted isnt something uncurbable and does not mean that everyone will ruin their lives with 100% probability. I think everyone who has tried gambling at least several times are already addicted, because they return to gambling anyway. We have different forms of addiction, someone return and gamble daily, someone on special occasions, someone gamble once each month. But that does not mean we all are moving towards ruining lives.

Addiction is a manifestation of human weaknesses when a person cannot stop in time and this applies not only to gambling. A person by nature is prone to find hobbies for himself, and sometimes these hobbies can be too addictive. For those who play sometimes, as you say once a week or once a month, this is definitely not an addiction, especially since I even admit that such players can win, so it is not worth saying that gambling is bad. It is bad when a player stops controlling his actions in gambling, in the same way you can lose self-control in other hobbies, so these are individual qualities of a person. We are all adults and no one is able to make decisions for us, you need to be responsible, then everything will be fine.

Good point, self control is important. Your hobbies can easily lead to an addiction if you are not in control of yourself. This is something that you enjoy doing so it's possible for you to get obsessed with it. Personally, I think that there are certain things that we shouldn't take as hobbies and one of them is gambling. It's true that it's possible to just do it passively for fun but to be on the safe side it shouldn't be a hobby.

[Franctoshi]

When you fail to put yourself in check, things will definitely fall apart when you're hit with some big losses because it will definitely come
Firstly, before you even start gambling, you should know your income strength to be able to know the amount you should risk day and weeks.
You should tell yourself when to stop, and you achieve this by setting a limit on the amount of money and number of times you should gamble in a day, when you do this, you will be able to notice when you've reached or gone above your spending limit, if these things left uncontrolled earlier, and you become too attached to gambling, it gradually develops and graduate into addition.

There are many factors why some gamblers who enter casinos become addicted, and according to what I have read, one of them is that some say that because of the experience of others winning at gambling, they always come back to play.

And others are because they chase their losses, instead of thinking about winning at gambling, which is not what happens anymore, and there are also others
who have made gambling a habit or hobby for them, so these are just a few of the reasons.
