Well, I believe that both Greediness and Gambling Addiction make our lives terrible. I was thinking about which one of the two reasons causes more disastrous in our life both in terms of mental health and finances.

It would be the base of experience or just purely an opinion but for me, Greediness is something that would really make us cripple.
"I want to bet more and more in order to win more. I will sell my properties so I can bet huge. " Greediness mindset keeps on the winning side, not satisfaction.

But addiction is a little disastrous, why? Because they can be satisfied with betting a small amount, at least they can gamble.

However, both can possibly happen in our lives when we can't control our gambling habit anymore. I prefer not the two but in this situation, I prefer to be just addicted rather than be greedy

Gamble Responsibly...
Being greedy, just like being addict, isn't on-off situation. There are differeent levels of being greedy, and different levels of being addicts. Most of the people share some of the both traits, but they aren't in a level that's problematic. Definition of greedy can seem different to different people. People who are ultimately greedy because it's part of their sociopath symptoms might see only positive sides by being greedy.  Especially when they themselves are greedy. Others can be obstacles for them if they are.

Addicts often seem greedy as nothing satisfies them. Actually it could be brain rewarding issue, when greedy person wants more, they get their dopamine fix, but that's not enough for a while. When addicts get their dopamine fix, they are greedy for something, and that something isn't filling their needs too long before they need another fix. This fix can be anything they are addicted to. But it's not ever enough. And for greedy people, it's not always just more money. It can be more of anything, and it never fills their need for too long.
