I realize this question was probably raised before, but I believe that the answers might be changing with time, because bitcointalk community grows and because the interests and needs of people can become different in years. I recall a video on addiction that explained that people mainly become addicted because of feeling sad and lonely. When I made a thread about whether gamblers think that gambling addiction has the same reason, the answers differed a lot. Now I am curious what kind of people are gambling here. Are they mainly looking for money, excitement, socialization? Please vote and leave a comment below in case you want to add something to your answer.
People gamble from various reason and they have a different type of personality, so they differ from person to person, in my opinion, they become addicted because it becomes a habit, there are a lot of reasons why they gamble not just because they are lonely, some reasons are they just want to make money or to be entertained, we cannot classify precisely why they gamble.
