But wait, how does losing contribute to addiction?
Gambling is all about understanding, and what leads to addiction is the lack of understanding, which is also ignorance. If you have a wrong understanding about gambling wins, it can lead you to gambling addiction, and if you misunderstand gambling losses, it can also lead to addiction.
Gamblers do exhibit greed in gambling; when they lose, they feel they need to recover their losses, and when there is also a win, some gamblers feel they deserve more, and they go on to gamble more. The problem of gambling addiction is just a matter of understanding or not doing things right. There are some gamblers who already understand gambling, but they decide to go about gambling the wrong way; they also end up becoming addicted to gambling.
