Answer 3

Because we are sick.....at least that's my conclusion, I got addicted, I've spent my last dollar on it so many times, and got myself in financial trouble.So I have to be sick, mentally, because I'm actually not stupid, at least not usually, but I am stupid when I drive to a casino. ( can you tell, I recently, very recently lost more money)!!!!

Answer 8

We all gamble. It seems that hom sap is a risk-taking species (esp males). This accounts for dangerous/foolhardy activities in particular adolescent males. You do get an adrenalin rush with risk taking behaviour. With certain forms of gambling there is immediate feedback eg slot machines or  horse racing. The adverse consequences are delayed..the debt as it were is in 'the post'. Addictive gamblers postpone long term goals/consequences for the short term 'buzz'.

Answer 9

the casino i go to u get free sandwiches and bisects and tea and coffee and soft drinks ,u can get it as many times u want and its fun

Answer 10

It's a rush.  Can't explain it, not everyone gets it, but it's very appealing to certain personalities.  Also appeals to the human nature being greedy.  Getting something for nothing appeals to people.  Most people who gamble on a regular basis are mildly addicted.  They may have self control and play within reason.  But they crave the play.

Answer 11

If you ask them, gamblers always talk about the big win they had last year. They never mention the hundreds of bets they lose. Gambling is addictive, it really, really, is. Don't try it. As the old joke has it, you never see a bookie on a bike.

Answer 12

thrills

Answer 13

it feels good when you win.. then that feeling becomes addictive..

Answer 14

Guess it is fun for them!!!! .......or perhaps a sickness!!!hehe

I think for me to gamble very much...I would have to have alot of money! ( which I don't)

So I have played the nickel slots..and penny slots 3 or 4 times in my life! That is about it!

Maybe if I won big or something I would care...but I doubt it!

I would rather see something for my money...not just let it go!

It is fun to watch people for a little while..then it gets boring! lol

Answer 15

coz it's fun? sarap manalo sarap din matalo

Answer 16

all depends some people do it for the feeling others do it because of boredom it depends on the person really some just do it because they want money

Answer 17

adddddictionnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Answer 18

because it makes everything more interesting.  i used to not like basketball until money was riding on the game.  it gives you something to cheer for.  obviously i would never get too deep and make it a financial situation.  we started out with $50 in our sport account and everytime we get our account up to $500, we cash $400 of it out and apply it to my daughters college fund.

Answer 22

Answer 23
