Which can be more addicting?

[|MINER|]

Which can be more addicting between the two: placing small bets every day or gambling only once or twice a year but doing so with huge amounts of money?

If you place bets every day, your brain might get too used to it even if it is just a small amount but betting less frequently but with bigger amounts of money may lead you to be emotionally attached to that money and may feel extremely happy to win and extremely disappointed to lose.

So what do you think gets someone more addicted?

I would never tell anyone to gamble like that, saving little by little throughout the year and then gambling a large sum of money because you've already told that in your topic.

And also I don't think there will be any gambler like this, Because those who gamble either gamble for entertainment, and on the other hand, those who come here with a different mindset must not gamble only once or twice a year to fulfill their desires. I would actually like to tell everyone to play responsible gaming and for which there is no problem even if you play regular gambling because it will definitely be restricted within a certain limit. But when you play such a large amount of gambling, sometimes due to the emotional effect, you may not be able to stop yourself from adding a larger amount and that ultimately leads to a bad situation.

I don't believe addiction is limited to how much or when one bets. It has more to do with a lack of control. Someone who bets small amounts daily and consistently demonstrates control and discipline. Similarly, someone who bets only twice a year, even if the amount is larger, also demonstrates control over their budget.

Actually addiction doesn't just start in a day, it takes more time to get into someone. The more someone does sometimes the more the person get used to doing it, which makes me believe that someone who's gambling everyday will become addicted to gambling faster than someone who's just gamble two times in a year even though it's big money or small money so long as it's what they can afford to risk.

when you are addicted in gambling it means that you are participating in gambling almost everyday and you don't give yourself space in gambling so that is what addition means in gambling, but the process whereby you are giving yourself a space to gamble once in a while and respective of the amount of that uses to participate in gambling neither it is a huge amount or not but it is not something that you you do everything and gambling that means that you are not a regular Gambler and you are not addicted in gambling someone who is addicted in gambling is someone who gambles frequently whether the person wins every time that means the person is a passionate gambler

[DaNNy001]

For you to get addicted to something it must be done repeatedly or constantly....it's becomes more addicting when you gamble everyday...There are people that gamble once in a while but whenever they do that they always stake high although this isn't safe and it can cause damages but it's not that same as gambling daily...people who can stay without gambling for up to a year are not categorized as addicts

I think it will be the everyday betting because you’d get to a point where you’d no longer be able to do without gambling for a single day. And also everyday betting makes one more prone to getting addicted to gambling irrespective of the amount that they use for their bet, it might be an anount that they won’t feel even if they lose 50 of it but since they are doing it everyday it would become registered in their brain to the point where they’d start developing issues.

But for the large amount but once or twice a year, it won’t lead to addiction but it would definitely lead to regrets if you don’t win - you’d have so much time in between the bets to actually do other things and get your mind off of gambling but for the former you won’t have that much time.

[mcdouglasx]

both extremes are bad, the first is because you may be addicted, by including daily bets and without control spending more money than you can afford harming your day to day or that of your family, and the second is nonsense, since I do not see why playing twice a year huge amounts of money since you reduce your probability of winning and risk a lot of money, but this is not being addicted is simply not knowing how to manage your own economy, but if you can afford it, go ahead, I still think it is a bad strategy but at least you do not run the risk of turning it into an addiction.

Addiction starts gradually and trust me with time it's emerge into something huge and with so much consistency in it, sometime I wonder if such energy is channeled into something better it'll be great. But from the rate at which people get addicted mostly it's basically from little bets everyday and gradually without control it's gets out of hand and they get stuck.

I still feel the small daily betting is the one that can trap someone faster, because it looks harmless at first. You tell yourself it is just a small amount, nothing serious, but you keep doing it every day and before you know it, it will turns into part of your daily life. That habit is what makes it hard to stop, not really the money itself but the constant rush it gives. It is like training your brain to always expect action, and that is where the addiction slowly builds.

But with the once or twice in a year type of big gambling, the risk is different. You may not play often but the emotional weight is heavy, especially if you lose a large amount once..

[Shinpako09]

Both, but to me, the once or twice a year betting with huge amounts of money seems more dangerous. Think about it, if you only bet once or twice a year and lose, what’s next? You’re gonna wait for the next year again to take revenge or try to recover? A huge amount of restraint is needed in order to do that; if not, it would be a disaster. I’d rather train myself with small bets every day. At least that’s where my limit is, and developing such a habit is kinda beneficial since you don’t become overly greedy if you stick to it.

I agree with you; it's truly a huge challenge to have this kind of self-control. I think that's precisely why few people succeed in this type of activity. Having other activities besides betting helps a lot, because it keeps the mind occupied and prevents the frustration of a loss from weighing so heavily.

I agree that placing little bets on a daily basis could be more dangerous than you know, as the constant repetitions of this act brainwash the brain to seek the same euphoria. Some of the bets aren’t deeply serious, but we are indeed making quite a habit of it. Conversely, a large bet of any frequency that is rare becomes like an occasion and can arouse great anxiety when lost or inversely, optimism when won. These two trends have varying impacts on our lives. You are correct when you say that even more of a problem is the constant pull rather than the money itself. So evil is habitual gambling, in this way it sneak in our everyday lives.

[bhadz]

I've known gamblers that only bet when they want to and that only happens for sometimes. They're not addicted but they like to take higher risk like what's in the example of OP.

But with the once or twice in a year type of big gambling, the risk is different. You may not play often but the emotional weight is heavy, especially if you lose a large amount once..

I agree that it's also dangerous when someone does that but to gamble daily is what makes it more dangerous. While both can impact each other with emotional impact. It looks there is a consensus that many are saying that both should be addicting in their very own impacts to an individual.

I only find placing bets daily to be more addicting than one or twice a year, remember, addiction comes from what you do consistently even if it's in a big or small molecules, combination of this attitude builds up and become more strong.

Doing once or twice in a year is a responsible way of gambling which seems clean and professional, doesn't look as if you are desperate or addicted or something.

Looks very good doing it.

[uneng]

So what do you think gets someone more addicted?

I think it's more addictive to place several tiny bets everyday, because addiction is related to the frequency of your play. If you gamble only twice a year, it means you aren't addicted, because you can control yourself in order to prevent from gambling too often. You may still place big bets twice a year, but you will have the other 363 days to organize and plan your finances, so it's not that serious like being a daily gambler (a compulsive and problem one).

[Lidger]

I think it is the most risky to gamble once or twice a year but to use a lot of money in this one or two gambles. If a lot of money is used in gambling, if the result does not come in your favor, then all that money will be lost at the same time and this will definitely be a cause of great regret for the gambler. What I mean is that even if I gamble every day, I will have a fixed amount of money there and if the amount of money is fixed, there will be no possibility of gambling with additional money. If I gamble every day and lose money, then I will still be able to work on the reasons for the loss so that the next gamble result does not go against me. Maybe I gambled ten times and 7 of the results went against me, then I will not have much regret because the amount of money in each gamble will be limited but there will be no possibility of losing money at all, so I will give more priority to regular gambling with small amounts of money.

Similarly, someone who bets only twice a year, even if the amount is larger, also demonstrates control over their budget.

Actually addiction doesn't just start in a day, it takes more time to get into someone. The more someone does sometimes the more the person get used to doing it, which makes me believe that someone who's gambling everyday will become addicted to gambling faster than someone who's just gamble two times in a year even though it's big money or small money so long as it's what they can afford to risk.

I totally agree with you, addiction is not just built on someone rather it been develop by someone through a consistent gradual process and it is so funny that some people don't know when they will get to the stage that they won't know how to get out of that state, sometimes they feel is just a normal thing and that they won't get addicted to it but before they realize themselves they are already swimming inside. And so the best way to abstain from gambling addiction is to avoid gambling regularly because it is not advisable and not good and winning is not guarantee and this should be the more reason we should not take it more serious and personal.

I don't see someone who places bets a few times a year as an addict.  For such a person to restrict his gambling activities to less than ten times yearly shows that he had full control over his gambling behavior. Using huge funds makes him a high-risk gambler, and I don’t think it would lead to addiction. People who gamble with small amounts consistently are more prone to gambling disorder. They might get used to the activity making them lose control.

As long as we have an allocated amount for the week, I think that’s already enough—whether it’s for daily play or just twice a week. This is really the kind of practice we should develop as casino players in the crypto gambling industry. If we can turn this into a habit, we’ll surely avoid becoming addicted gamblers.

We’ll also be able to avoid developing greed in our mindset, which is often the root cause of gambling addiction later on—or why many gamblers end up chasing their losses
most of the time in this field.

According to the study, gamblers who are more exposed to gambling activity have a higher chance of gambling addiction.  So in your two given scenario, I believe that the one who gamble regularly have high risk of getting addicted, while the one who gambles once or twice a year, even though they spend a higher amount of money, is less exposed to gambling, thus the chance of getting addicted is not as high as the one who engages in gambling activity regularly.

So in my opinion, it's not only about how often you play, it's about how it affects your life in general, both financially and in other aspects as well. Even if you are gambling on a daily basis but your activities aren't causing any financial problems for you, there is nothing wrong with that, but if you are gambling twice a year but still spending most or all your savings in gambling, then that's troublesome.

Yes, that's a very good point you made.
I was thinking that addiction is a daily, ongoing habit, even if it involves small amounts, but I hadn't considered the other side: the harm that addiction causes, even for short periods of time each year.

So, when I thought about what you said, I realized you were right on this point. If you gamble daily with small amounts that don't impact your life, it's much less harmful than if you gamble once or twice a year and spend most or all of your savings on gambling.
