Seriously, why do people do anything?
People drive cars, even though thousands of people die in them every year.
People smoke, knowing full well that there are dozens of different ways that cigarettes kill.
People chew chewing tobacco, even though it makes you look retarded and is even more dangerous than smoking.
People drink Everclear even though it tastes nasty and could kill you.
People take all manner of illegal drugs even though they are often highly addictive and can be deadly.
People BASE jump, despite the obvious risks.
Gambling is an interesting an enjoyable pass time. If I were in Vegas I could place a single dollar bill into a slot machine with the genuine opportunity to win over $10,000,000! Imagine that, one spin of the reels and I could buy the car of my dreams, a dream home, retire, go on vacation to wherever I want, just imagine.
People find it fun to live that dream if only for a moment. Now and then people win huge and get a life changing amount of money. Many people find that chance fun.

Humans like a challenge and many like to take chances. Gambling is a game of chance and gives people a thrill. Unfortunately many do not know when enough is enough and set a limit of either doubling their money and stopping or stopping when they lose a set amount (determined before they went to the casino).
Gaming causes endophrines like racing a car or motorcycle or skydiving or racing down a snow-covered mountain. Humans like the thrill and they want adventure. Unfortunately some of those thrills have the chance of negative results, like becoming broke when a person does not use common sense and limit their loses.
Oh, and there are people who have developed "systems" that others think will guarantee their winning. Not so! Or how do the casinos in Nevada well watched and monitored by the Gaming Commission to prevent cheating, how do those resorts building those billion-dollar plus resorts?

For enjoyment, but some people take it too far a gamble everything because they get too caught up in that you could win, but the odds are always against you.

I used to gamble for stress relief. I used to be a salesman; I go to people, take their money, and then have to talk with them for weeks if not years afterwords.
In poker, I would take their money, and never have to hear from them again.

even as i flow to the on-line casino, I go away my atm card in my automobile. i do not convey it in. I convey purely a particular quantity of money and that is it. now and again I win now and again I free and many times I come decrease back with an similar quantity I went with. that is interesting if you're actually not getting over excited. one ingredient of save in recommendations is that the on-line casino virtually continually wins.
