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.
I think all of the above, although the percentage will differ in each category, we have a mixed type of personality, all I know is there are advantages and disadvantages in gambling and it is the goal of every individual and their family to make sure that they will not become addicted to gambling.
