I would like to get some personal opinions for a class I am taking and I would like to know what behaviors lead people to develop a gambling problem. Some people will start gambling for fun and others will start gambling thinking they are going to strike it rich. I would like your opinions as to why this happens.
there was a similar thread about the same problem you can search for it and see what others said , this may help you with your study or whatever
for me I think gambling is addictive for many reasons , one of them that the person start gambling then he loses the money and keep trying to get what he lost back , which leads to repeat the process again and again
some gambling games are fun and they lead to addiction just like video games , you can see many people addicted to video games and the same principle sometimes applies to gambling
for me I enjoy playing poker a lot and I make some money from it , the fun part in the game is what I like about it so even when I find a good game I won't play it unless I really want to play and enjoy , but sometimes I have like 8 hours session cause I'm enjoying the game ( which is kinda of addiction in my opinion
)it's complicated , no one can give a simple answer when we talk about addiction in general
