Well, wouldn't say its that addicting. People tend to do it when they are bored/depressed/angry , while knowing they will loose, not gambling, just giving away money
It is. Years ago, I always said it's the stupidest thing people can do. Now, I'm addicted to it. Try doing it, and you'll see. It's the adrenaline, the greediness, the thought that you'll win in your mind. That's a fake thought - you must have luck first, in order to win. And the more you loose, the more you want to win.
