When one talks about addiction in gambling most people always think it's always greed or love of money that causes it but it's more than that

Those should be the propelling actions for gambling addiction and add it others. There Are many factors compelling someone to be a gambling addiction. Unemployment can make some to join gambling and become addicted because the gambler might see that as an opportunity to make some moneys to himself and from there addiction emanate.

Basically what often gets overlooked is that addiction doesn’t come from opportunity alone, it grows where stress, impatience, and poor risk understanding meet. Alot of youths see gambling as a quick solution, but it is the combination of repeated losses, emotional pressure, and a lack of financial habits that really drives compulsive behavior. So addressing addiction requires teaching people how to manage risk, build resilience, and make choices under pressure.

People get addicted to gambling for different reasons but whatever they might be it doesn't justify getting overly addicted and allowing thsoe reasons to affect your finances. for a lot of gamblers the reason they get addicted to gambling is because they try to make it a way to make a steady source of income, in the long run this makes them lose a lot of money. Gambling and chasing profits desperately is dangerous

Yeah, greed is one of the reasons why they are persistent. They keep trying to make a living even though they have already lost more. Solving financial problems through gambling is not a good idea, but they keep thinking about it. Yes, gambling really can do that, it’s possible, but it’s very hard. Instead of having a source of income, their income gets eaten up because of their mindset.

Greed is one of the reasons why a gambler continues to gamble even after losing, and even after winning, they continue to play more with that winning. That is why they cannot stop under any circumstances, whatever the outcome, their mentality is to play more, be it in the pursuit of bigger wins or in the hope of recovering losses. This is a very terrible stage, yes, it is possible to make a profit through gambling, but it is so difficult and uncertain that it cannot be an alternative to livelihood. So since it never gives us a sure profit, that is why we should never have the mentality of continuing to play, we have to stop, we have to stop at the right time according to our limitations.

I would like to point out that one can be greedy at certain point of one's session, and yet continue to be a responsible gambler, the main difference between someone who is not responsible with their money and someone who is addicted to gambling is the process of recognizing and correct the behavior which comes with greed. A responsible gambler recognize they are being greedy and steps back, log out their account and call it a day, while someone who is addicted to gambling will double down and continue to gamble, believing they will eventually recover all their money and even double it, when in reality the edge of the house guarantees profit to the casino itself.

It is kind of blaffling how many gamblers are unaware of the existence of the house edge.

You are right, engaging in an activity consistently is what leads to addiction so it is advisable not to always get involved in a particular thing that's capable of causing harm. Gambling addiction doesn't juat start in a day, it is something that takes time before your brain gets wired to become addicted to it. This is the reason why I don't take people seriously when they say that they don't know how rhey got addicted

I never imagined I'd become addicted to gambling. I gradually and smoothly fell into this trap without even realizing it. After a while, I couldn't stop. This left me with empty pockets and huge debts. I had to deal with the consequences for many years. It was the most terrible time of my life. So much energy and stress was wasted. And for what purpose? That's the question I still ask myself.
