Maybe we will ask, "Why does winning contribute to gambling addiction?"
Winnings leads to the tastes of winning more and more that's how your greed level increases over time. It's just like someone who have attained success once and has seen how sweet it is to be successful, now the person will do everything possible not to go broke again by making sure he continues doing that same thing that got him that level of success in the first place. That's how addiction sets in from winnings in gambling.
or think that since winning leads to gambling addiction, losing shouldn't be.
No, one shouldn't think that way because both has their own tendencies of leading gamblers who are not careful enough to getting addicted.
This makes us think that there is no way out for gamblers but to get addicted, right?
Only gamblers who can't control their greed level and know when to have fun and when to stop having fun can get addicted. Gambling is not a trap of getting addicted if you discipline yourself very well. We have more gamblers that are non addicts in the world. So I don't believe that gamblers are addiction bound.
