Why do people get addicted to gambling?

It is possible to become psychologically addicted to anything. Though you may not be inserting something into your body, there can still be a chemical reaction in your brain. When you are ecstatically happy (I know, redundant) your brain sends off certain endorphines. These endorphines make you feel good. You become addicted to that feeling in your brain. If that repeatedly happens while gampbling, having sex, eating ice cream, or vacuuming, you can become addicted. Gambling is more common, because it is legal (in certian areas), it is easily accessible, people feel they can gain something from it, and the negative possibilities of addiction are not heavily advertised.

Certain things that give you a rush or temporarily make you care free can cause you to be addicted to it. For some that is gambling. For me I am addicted to being addicted, everything that doesn’t deal with work I will abuse it.

i dont understand it either, it hurts my heart if i lose money, but i think they get addicted to the rush of winning and have urges that tell them the next one will be the big one.

For some, it is seen as an opportunity for reward, an investment which can reap big rewards. Often, these people are desperate. For others, it is the thrill of the game. Much like sex or drugs, chemicals are released into the brain as the excitement of the game builds.

Both schmookin and dwiinking affect us awl diffwent. As love is a drug, we all seek something something. Gambling is far worse. Personally I hate repeating myself. I’ll bet you a tenner I don’t get ten points.
