Reasons for Gambling addiction

[Zadicar]

winning can be very addictive and most gamblers would always want to experience that feeling that comes with winning over and over again even though they try to take a break..There us a mental effect it has, like you explained, the dopamine sensation is another reason why gamblers get triggered, it takes a lot of discipline to quit gambling when it gets to that point where they want to always win

The mistake most people make when they want to experience the feeling of winning repeatedly, even though they try to stop or even though they have previously experienced defeat, is to satisfy their desire to win by continuing to gamble in pursuit of victory. From this point on, the concept of gambling becomes a pursuit of victory that is already on the wrong track. Because the right way to gamble is to do it for entertainment.
Sometimes I hear about gamblers who gamble not for profit but to satisfy the sensation or dopamine rush they crave, and I'm skeptical about that.

Once you do able to taste up the experience on making money or having some wins then you would definitely be wanting to have more, because the primary thing that will come up into your mind is that you could become rich if this one would continue. This is where  you would be that betting or gambling continuously then you would be able to notice that your loses becomes bigger as the time passes by. So your main priority now is on how to breakeven or getting those loses back but since we do know on how reality works then gambling house would be always the winner at the end and if you arent that mindful or sensible when it comes into your activity or decisions been made specially on gambling, then you are just basically putting up yourself on such trouble. Gambling addiction is so very hard to recover into once it shackles you out hardly.

Most of the time on which gamblers would be only making up realizations when its already too late or the damage is already severe. You are the ones will be responsible on whatever the actions you made and on the consequences that it will be having in the end of the line.

Your brain enjoys success/wins and in gambling you can win without much from your side because the results are based on luck, which creates dopamine that is something secreted when we are feeling happy. Over time our brain wants more and more of that dopamine which is why over time we need to gamble more to have the same dopamine effect. And in the end no amount will be enough which means one is completely addicted to it.

when yoir brain gets used to winning it becomes a problem...success in gambling shouldn't be something that we are supposed to get used to...Although everyone likes winning, it feels.good to always stake an amount and get profit from it but gambling is a g ane of wins and losses and rhe the mkre addicted you get to winning you would always want to make profit which leads to chasing losses

Addiction to gambling does not come out of greed, but body takeover where brain becomes hooked to feel good chemical known as dopamine. When you gamble to relax or forget about real life, your brain makes kind of shortcut, where it sees that gambling is quickest way to get one huge dopamine hit, which is so big compared to having real life activity like enjoying meal.

More often you do it, more hooked your brain becomes, which means you will have to gamble more and more just to make yourself feel normal and healthy activities such as walking or reading become boring since they do not give such high. You must fix your brain to beat this circle by replacing gambling with activities that have high energy such as hard exercise or sports with games with built in reward that in turn will bring back your brain to its normal state and allow you to beat addiction.

Thinking it as profit itself a wrong mindset, because we are not investing and get returns rather one should consider it as rewards for their risky call and if it doesn't then accept and move on to the next bet that will helps to avoid the regrets and also the chasing loss. We all have financial struggle but gambling is not a way to solve poverty and those who sees in that way will get into more trouble.

You explained it very well. Addiction to gambling is not that it makes one greedy but the brain becomes addicted to dopamine. It is such a rush caused by gambling that makes ordinary things such as walking, reading, or having a meal boring. The greater the number of gambes a person undertakes, the greater the role of the brain gets dependent that is, the person requires more significant gambes to be normal. The solution is to retrain the brain by substituting gambling with high energy rewarding behavior-sports, exercise and games with inbuilt rewards. These may over time bring back the balance and break the addictive cycle.

Sometimes I have sad thoughts about how gamblers and bettors who commit absolutely insane acts do so because it's the best choice in the situation. After all, if a gambler is in an incredibly bad situation, where they owe everyone money, have lied to everyone they can, and have ruined relationships that have been festering for decades, then perhaps they don't want to go on living. All these stories about gamblers who commit robberies or thieves are, in our eyes, their worst possible outcome.
But for them, it's the best choice in a bad situation, while their worst possible outcome is something I don't even want to write about. It's sad, and I hope everyone reading this never has to deal with something like that.

Describing certain actions as crazy and saying that they are the best choice is not entirely accurate. What I mean is that when addicted gamblers do crazy things in certain situations, it's like they are taking risks. They already know that the outcome will be a loss, but because they cannot accept this, they take risks in the hope of winning big and changing their situation for the better. This makes them addicted because the result is often a loss. Such adverse situations can subject them to excessive pressure, leading to stress.

This point of view I share and the fact remains that it is a very painful truth of gambling addiction. Most of the addicted gamblers do not behave irrationally because they wish to but because they are compelled to. Once they are in debt and their trust is shattered and replaced with shame, they are severely distorted in their thinking. Taking risks turns into a desperate measure to avoid the consequences and turns out to be not a rational choice. To them, winning just once is like an escape ticket regardless of the fact that they are aware that they have little to no chance of winning. Stress, fear and hopelessness force them into even more dangerous behavior further into the addiction. This is the reason why gambling addiction is to be regarded as a serious psychological problem not merely a loss of self control.

While Dopamine could be used as a good reason for it, we have to also realize the background of it. Dopamine is so high on "some" gamblers and that is why they get addicted, why is it not that high in every gambler? We have to realize that, otherwise it makes no sense to know the reason is dopamine. Dopamine is the "happy hormone", in  reality it transmits messages between nerves basically, but it's called the happy hormone because dopamine hormone works when you feel well.

Why do some people fell happier when they gamble? Why do they get addicted and not others? Because you have to lack anything else that makes you happy in life, if you lack anything else, then gambling increases your dopamine levels by a ton, but if you do have other things you are content or happy about, that means gambling doesn't do anything different, it is not excessive and it keeps it the same, which means you do not get addicted.

This view of only focusing on wins and losses or profits and losses will harm our logic, because with a mindset like that a person will chase wins or profits in every gambling activity that is carried out, even though profits and wins bring us into a passionate atmosphere in gambling, but I always consider them luck and bonuses from the gambling that I do, while losses are a price that I definitely accept, the problem is that most people are not prepared for losses and also for defeats, so they always come to take revenge.
