"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.
Despite the fact that "Greed" is human nature but it is the only word which is enough to explain gambling addiction.
I agree that only a single win can lead to addiction if a person can't control his/her emotions.
Greed and addiction is not only in loss, but it is in winning too. Gambling addiction is of two types.
First, you are winning in gambling and you keep on playing with hope to win more and you lose everything in greed.
Secondly you lose in gambling and you still invest more money to play more and in the end lose more. So this can also be called addiction.
