Why are people so drawn to gambling?

[Brigistul]

After reading the below I would like you to answer me honestly if you know these essential details !In another thread, perhaps tomorrow, I will explain other problems unknown to most players.

1/ If you wonder why people gamble, the answer isn’t just “to win money.” It’s more subtle: gambling offers complete immersion and escape from real life.
2/ In everyday life, we’re stuck in routines: work, responsibilities, bills, worries. In a casino or on an online slot, all of that disappears instantly.
3/ The game becomes a mental break: you focus only on the spinning numbers, dealt cards, or the wheel. Nothing else matters.
4/ This experience is similar to active meditation: you lose track of time and worry, fully absorbed in a single thing.
5/ In fact, the magic isn’t just winning. It’s the temporary escape from reality and the illusion that you can control something in a highly simplified universe.
6/ Problems arise when this immersion becomes a constant escape. When gambling is no longer just entertainment but a refuge from real life.
7/ Essentially, gambling shows that people seek moments of escape, not just money. When done in moderation, it’s just a game. When it becomes a life substitute, it’s dangerous.
Conclusion: the main appeal of gambling is psychological, not financial. It’s the fascination of forgetting real life and living in a controlled, captivating present.
Final : If you want to understand why people gamble, forget the winnings. Look at how it feels when everything else disappears for a few moments.

In my opinion the reason why...is all of the above you got it all cover doctor thank you so much i'm cured .

 

[Brigistul]

În opinia mea, motivul pentru care... este pentru toate cele de mai sus, ai totul, doctore, mulțumesc foarte mult, m-am vindecat :LAUGH OUT LOUD::LAUGH OUT LOUD::LAUGH OUT LOUD:.

I hope you can play quietly, without stress!

 

[maronza1]

You have nailed it! Its not mainly about multiplying your money but the psychology behind it. It offers temporary break from everyday life as you said, and gives the gambler temporary fun before ruining their mood after losing.

 

[Vrotebal]

They think it's easy money, but in reality they end up with nothing. Not many are lucky.

 

[Brigistul]

Ai nimerit-o! Nu este vorba în principal despre multiplicarea banilor, ci despre psihologia din spatele acestui lucru. Oferă o pauză temporară de la viața de zi cu zi, așa cum ai spus, și îi oferă jucătorului o distracție temporară înainte de a-și strica starea de spirit după ce a pierdut.

Bravo! I'm glad you agree and realize what others don't even think could be subtle brain manipulation!

 

[Brigistul]

Ei cred că sunt bani ușor de câștigat, dar în realitate nu ajung să aibă nimic. Nu mulți sunt norocoși.

That's right! But if you think and do not throw yourself in waves then you can be a winner in a short time!!!

Nice conclusion. In fact, it might start as a financial quest, but it inevitably becomes psychological. At that point, some people can get lucky and become aware of it, but some don't and keep enjoying the "escape" you spoke about.

It's fun , especially the prospect yo win big suddenly . Despite this being proved to be only just a dream and big win yo be a fairy tale . The problem is when sb tries to live from gambling or even pay his debts . That's really catastrophic . So for normal people fun of the game and pursuit of profits is the motivation. But there are also the sick people or some addicted or azy poor ))) but mostly I am sure it's normal people just having fun , online or live , with friends or anyone else

I used to play slot machines 24 hours a day all day long. slots really act like hypnosis for you and you forget about everything, if you still manage to catch a big multiplier, you're gone. And most importantly, even when I won a lot, I couldn't stop and lost every last cent.

 

[Tadi]

I mostly agree with the items you wrote.

Thay's exactly what it is.
There's no better word than "Hypnosis" to describe the state of an immersed player in front of a machine.
And it is so true that even after a big win, a gambler doesn't stop till he loses it all back.

It can be compared to a stimulant. In the right dose, gambling brings us entertainment and mental stimulation. But if you become too dependent on it to the point of addiction, your life will become hell.

To summarise it all, ‘greed’ draws people into gambling more than anything else.

 

[Sunz of Beaches]

I think the reason why people are so drawn to gambling with real money is to forget things like everyday live and to relax and have a good time.

 

[Reddog888]

I think the reason white people are so draw to gambling with real money is to forget things like everyday live and to relax and have a good time.

white people? meet asian gamblers and you will see things worse than drug addicts

The auto-orrection on my smartphone made a mistake. It was supposed to say "why" and not "white". Its corrected now. Thanks for making me aware.

 

[TeUnit]

Some like the thrill, some the escape, some like the challenge, some are hoping for a life change, and even some like to lose.

 

[Brigistul]

Frumoasă concluzie. De fapt, ar putea începe ca o căutare financiară, dar inevitabil devine psihologică. În acel moment, unii oameni pot avea noroc și pot deveni conștienți de asta, dar alții nu și continuă să se bucure de „evadarea” despre care ai vorbit.

Bravo Naji!I've been trying my expertise for 30 years to help our community players somehow! I'll do tomorrow I think a new thread with unknown explanations!

 

[Brigistul]

Unora le place fiorul, altora evadarea, altora le place provocarea, unii speră la o schimbare în viață și chiar și unora le place să piardă.

I use my 30 years of expertise to somehow help the players of our community! I think tomorrow I will open a new thread with unknown explanations! It's perfect!

Hey Brigistul,
In Addition to your helpful post:
People are drawn to gambling due to psychological and biological factors, including the powerful "dopamine" rush from unpredictable rewards, the "thrill of uncertainty" and anticipation, and the emotional benefits of escape or stimulation. The variable nature of wins and losses creates a "positive feedback loop" that can lead to a compulsive need for the "high," similar to a drug addiction, where the brain becomes conditioned to seek the intense feeling of betting itself. Environmental factors and the normalization of gambling in society also contribute to its widespread appeal.

Greetings,
Natox

Some people get bored with money and spend money because they like it. Those who have a strong psyche and those who do not have a strong enough psyche can lose a lot of money, but that's how it works.
