Because you can 'possibly' earn quick and easy money and not have to wrok. Bums like not working so tell themselves they will continue to try and chase their winnings. They all lose and cry in the end.
Indeed the fact is that you can addicted too it and that it is addicted due to the fact its enjoying and that you can earn some nice money.
Well thats a fact to people nowadays. People nowadays really like to earn money without pushing or putting efforts to it, in short an era in which people are bums and lazy who just open their palms for their money. Gambling online is a good example of a way to earn money without making you sweat. Many people really is addicted to it, either their making money for their future, or getting back for their laid-long-plan revenge.
I think its just so bad from people that they are thinking they can make some fast money with gambling, it will only get you in problems and its addicted and you get greedy from it.
