I am really intrigued by how a normal gambling session can lead to gambling addiction. I read people saying winning in a gambling session can lead to gambling addiction, while I read in articles that losing also leads to gambling addiction. Does this mean that whether a person gambles for fun or for profit will be a gambling addict, since both winning and losing are experienced by the same group.
Neither wins nor losses lead to gambling addiction. Disorder in betting is caused by behavioural problems. If you have the mentality that a wining streak shows your mastery over the system, you might start gambling excessive. You can also have problems if you assume that you can chase losses and recover all you have lost.
