Do you think gambling has a spirit that controls gamblers?

[Didia Sofunichi]

There's nothing spiritual about gambling. Gambling is too addictive that people think there's a spirit behind it.

I only think that people should control their emotions and gambling addictions.

There's no spirit forcing people to stake their money, greedy and the get rich quick syndrome is responsible

[JusticeDeGreat]

The only thing that makes people to be addicted to gambling is the quest to become rich, win games often, and be successful through betting. No other reason behind it. Where one has lost many times in game,  you will be motivated to recover your losses, and then you will see yourself loosing more, becoming addicted to it.

I agree, there's absolutely nothing spiritual about gambling. Gambling is purely circular and shouldn't have anything to do with spirituality.

When a gambler loses, he has a lot of thoughts, and sometimes they attach spirituality to it to justify their loss, but as you mentioned, gambling is not spiritual.

If it were spiritual, no one would ever win except those who are permitted to win in order to pique gamblers' interest, and these people could only be staff, relatives, or some other type of false arrangement.

But this is not how it works. If you are lucky, you will win, and even the bookies have no control over the outcome of a game; their only advantage is that sports are unpredictable and so it is unrelated to spirituality.

This is important bearing in mind that gambling has little to do with luck than with odds and chances. In this context the either you win or lose perspective is not something that no one not even the bookie can influence due to its random related nature. The thought that the result can only be prearranged just adds unwanted assumptions. We also have to remember that the very object of most forms of betting: athletic competitions, contain an element of surprising unpredictability which, however, is part of their appeal. When losing it is normal for many things to cross the mind but to attribute it to a different realm for instance spirituality is not the way to go. That should also be obvious, it is integral to the nature of gambling as a phenomenon.

People react to risking money and winning money. I don't think there is spirit that controls these gamblers and if there is, it could be the spirit of socialising where we are fascinated to casinos and the idea of getting money out of nothing.

Addicted gamblers are contrast lled by their dopamine. Just as some of us are addicted to eating chocolate since it feels good while they at it.

Yes, that is what precisely dominates players, dopamine and that feeling of feeling good and happy, apart from the fact that you have to add the feeling of that adrenaline that makes you want to continue playing more, but it is something that must be controlled in order not to fall into possible addictions, sometimes coins must be controlled no matter what, that is why I apply money control, control what I am willing to spend or lose, it is the best, for me personally it has worked for me both in gaming and in trading.

This is weird. Thinking of this premonition stuff just want to avoid the part where the actual gambler is the reason why he is gambling too much. It's an addiction and there's nothing else. It's the responsibility of the gambler to know that he shouldn't do it anymore because you could lose a lot more if you continue. Just be responsible and accountable.

Ofcourse, I concur, gambling is just an addition and nothing else. Gambling is not the only thing people are addicted to, unless you want to claim that there's a spirit behind all forms of gambling

The spirit on which everyone is talking about here is really just that only found on your head on which this is indeed the 'brain', there's no such thing about gambling does have spirits or whatsoever because if we are really just that trying out to realize at least into the things that we are dealing on with, then it will be that understandable that basing up on what are perspective and emotions towards gambling and this is is what you would really be having in mind. There's no such thing about spirits that control you on which this is really that something that you can be able to stop if you wanted to because if you arent that taking up such act then you are really that bound on doing shit decisions ahead.

whether you believe in spirits or not depends on your culture or religion there has been no physical or scientific evidence of spirits existing so a gambler who does not believe in spirits can say that no he is not plagued by the spirits to keep gambling however someone who believes in spirits may use that as a way to justify his gambling habits

Even if a gambler tries to justify his gambling habit by claiming that there is a spirit behind it, in the end, he is the one who loses the most. It is better to face reality and accept the loss than to continue losing and believing that the loss and constant urge to gamble are the result of a spirit. 

If there is a spirit that causes people to lose or win, I am sure that people would have gone to appease it in order to regain control of their gambling. People's perception of spirit is their mindset, and if they can control their mindset, they will realize that there is no such thing as spirit in gambling.

I don't see any link between gambling and gambling because there's nothing spiritual about gambling but it's an act that you intentionally do so linking it to gambling is not true so it should be treated as a physical matter gambling is something that can be controlled because it is an intentional act that is done deliberately so it is not a matter that should be treated as a spiritual, one thing that will make any one to think of seeing gambling as spiritual is when that person has no control over their gambling activities and so is addicted to gambling

You have said it all, it's greed that makes human takes risks they should have avoided in the first place. Some people believe that there is a spiritual person somewhere that make them some things unaware and gambling is one of the sacred things they see as been evil, when they won they don't say it's evil but the moment they lose, they push the evil narrative and say it's the spirit.

People are drive by their greed for money, they want the shorted possible form to make money and that's why some people are so ready to gamble even when they don't have any experience, they are ready to risk it all.

It's more on the mind though, we all know how powerful our mind is, if we let gambling control our thoughts, then definitely it will take us where we want to go, i.e. becoming a gambling addict.

But if our mind says that we are enough with this gambling, then nothing is supernatural about it, we can stop it anytime we want.

It's that gamblers really find a lot of excuses to gamble.

[Penlex_Writer]

Just as the title implies, does it mean gambling has a spirit that controls gamblers whereby they don't know when to quit and when to continue?

If this is true please could you kindly explain it to me more better, because have I have came across few people that says over time while gambling and they reached their limits there is something in them to say they should try more time if they will win before leaving or closing for the day, and when they plays it will results that they lose and same thing will trigger them to bet again before they knew they don't know when they will end up emptying their account just to make sure they secure a winning for that very day before leaving.

But in the other hands I will boldly say that this is addiction spirit which has grown and resulted to greed, revenge gambling just to make sure they have winning before leaving the casino house has resulted in losing all their money.

What do you think spirit or not spirit?

you have said it all,the cause is spirit of addicton that have grown into greed,greed is actually the main reasons why they refuse to quit gambling, there aim is one day i will be wealthy with it.
