"Sometimes winning isnt good at all". This is the phrase i always got in my mind whenever i saw someone or read something that pertains to gambling addiction. I see that people are so greedy and do anything to win. My observation is that, people experience winning ofcourse in gambling so they take many chances and risk bets to win again. Either the win rate is just 2 to 3 times per 15 bets, they are still getting hooked on it. Winning even once triggers addiction because people are greedy in nature. There are just people who can control themselves and there are not.

The primary cause of addiction is the satisfaction you get from repeatedly doing your hobby or an activity. But in gambling, it involves the chance to earn/lose money depending on your luck. Addiction primarily starts in the brain and eventually cascades and evolves into a hobby then to being addicted to such.

I disagree, since also losing triggers addiction. That feeling when you lose in a bet will unexpectedly trigger an adrenaline in hoping to recover your losses which ultimately makes your situation worse. Gambling can never be profitable, let alone beneficial when you view it as a means of earning money.

Precisely, loses may create certain act to become more aggressive on deliberating to play the game in order to retrieve loses. Somehow, gamble can actuate people's eagerness to play, as it can give profits on playing it wisely, but attaching more to win will also trigger us to play the game that may end up of loses afterall. And that's how addiction manipulated our brain to become aggressive on playing the game.
