Re: Why is gambling so addicting?

It think it's easy, maybe it's just because that you find gambling an easy way to get money. I mean just look, in just a second if you're willing to take the risk and bet all the money that you have in one click, you'll be instantly rich,but the sad part is that you might lose all your money. You can have all the amount of money that you want in a second when you gamble, same as winning the chance of losing money is the same. So, this is a bit risky. Try to control your self.

IMO controlling yourself means you shouldn't think of gambling as of way to make money in the first place. Entertaining, which gambling should be for you, can also be addictive, but you won't be losing money that way, only your time.

You can still lose money even if you consider it as entertainment because you will not be able to be entertain without risking money as your bet. The risk will always be there and you cannot eliminate it unless you stop gambling, however gambling for fun can reduce the risk and can increase the entertainment value you will get.

Gambling is a game of risk, what are you saying that it will reduce the risk if you are gambling for fun? You said it yourself that the risk will always be there and it can't be eliminated unless you really stop gambling. You will never reduce the risk, but I think, the higher the risk, the exciting and fun it gets.

That's true, but it mostly depends on your imagination. Risking one dollar may be entertaining too if your imagination works good enough.

What mirakal wrote is a contradiction in itself so I don't know how to reply to that. It was probably a literal error somewhere in the text.

I completely agree on this statement that the higher the risk the exciting and fun it gets is high too. We can really feel up tense and nervous at the same time too specially when we are doing already big bets. Gambling would be really addicting on some ways depending on where a particular gambler get addicted too but the common thing here that we can able to make money out of gambling.

I'm sorry, are you saying we can make money with gambling, or you think we can't? Because the difference is important. I've noticed that people become addicted gamblers when they think it's possible to live a rich life with the help of it. People who gamble just for fun rarely become addicted in a bad sense of the word.
