When I say to a common man that I do gambling, automatically he thinks that I'm a gambling addict. Is this true that everyone getting into gambling is an addict. I have limitations as well control upon the time as well amount spend on gambling. Secondly, anyone among you got addicted and realized that we need a self control to be on the safer side.

People who think every gambler is an addict are hypocryts. The want to make themselves look better by saying they don't gamble and that everybody who does is addicted.

I can perfectly gamble with a set amount of money only a few times a year without having the feeling that I need to gamble more. Does this make me addicted because I sometimes gamble? I don't think so.

Congrats you have just created a new thread for spams. I think you dont need to create this kind of thread because this discussion has so many threads already. I'm sure the discussion will be just the same on the other threads. Lock this thread is better.

I am not addicted to gambling and I also think that I am never going to be addicted to it because I know that most people lose on the long run.
That means that there is no reason for me to go out and gamble much.

Well I would say that I am not a gambling addict because I learn to manage my emotion and the way I gamble because I had experience how it is when you became addict.

And I realized that gambling is just going to make all my money wasted if I don't manage to gamble and as of now I just gambling what I can afford to lose.

I like your thread. Now i am clearly say that I am not addicted person, because in the start of my gambling career, i have my limitations that' why i thought that i have safe, otherwise may be i was one of them, but limitations has safe me. Also i am very hard working man and i respect my money which i am earning, so i don't like to waste it easily in gambling, But still i like gambling and i am playing it but i am not addicted person. 

Of course this is not true!
You're an addicted when you have to do something on a regular basis, maybe daily or even hourly.Like smoking or drinking for instance.
Or when you feel the pressure you have to workout 4-5 days the week.

Drinking a bottle of wine at the weekends doesn't make you an addicted when you not drink the rest of the week.
With gambling it is the same.It is the frequency what makes you addicted or not.And how you deal with your money when doing it.When you know your limits and can stop gambling from one moment to the other you are far away from bing an addicted.

I'm not a gambling addict no, I gamble for fun with (most importantly) money that I can afford to lose.

It's only a problem when people gamble with amounts that they need for bills, food etc.

I do not think that you are gambling addict if you can control your gambling bet
but if we can not control it and spent all our money it can called gambling addict

I know that I am not addicted to gambling because most of the time and do not even think about gambling and I have spend years without even gambling once so I not for a fact that I am not addicted to it what so ever. I do know some people who are addicted and they only talk about gambling.
I cannot understand how people can be addicted to losing so much.

For me gambling like hobby, not common but if I can gambing is very happy and fun. Until now I can control to stop gambling anytime. If you make gambling as common, you must find more real social activities like travelling, sport, watching cinema or more.

the common man is a common man for a reason and you shouldn't really think about what he has to say that much.

it is our actions that defines us so if you think you are not a gambling addict then you probably are not.

and to make sure you just take a look at your actions to see if you are in control or not. that is what i do.

Everything you say is true friend!!. If indeed you are addicted in gambling, then you should be able to do incredible extras in order to regain a normal life (escape from addiction to gambling). one of the things you can do to control yourself is to ask the help of a psychologist and help the elderly. That's one thing that's been done by my friend who once addicted in gambling

Yeah maybe you're right. Someone who is addicted to gambling needed help in order to stop, it is difficult and takes time. People around very helpful to remind us that we can be aware. Self-control is very essential in limiting gambling. If I own a very rare gambling, and I have no control in the betting, usually when I've finished my deposit immediately stopped.

When you do gambling its common that man do gambling activities but it's automatic that had consequences that he will going to be addicted on that gambling activities and after addicting he don't know how to control his self to stop and not to gambling. And 1 thing people saying that gambling is fun even they addicted that much lfmao

addiction mean that when you become unable to quit a particular activity even though you know that it is not in your favour, so as i have full control on myself and when i decide not to play gambling on particular day so i quit gambling on that day, therefore i will like to say that i am not addicted of gambling.

I do gambling and often do in various type of games from sports betting to casino games but I still do believe that i am not addicted to it. I don't think doing something everyday or often can be called addiction. There are many thing we just do and repeat again and again but those are not addiction. I am doing other things with full responsibility and gambling didn't affect them so I am not addicted.

I Never Got Addictied to Gambling Because It has Two Main Reasons That are As Follows:-
1) I Gamble Once When I Am New to Bitcoin world and Lost My Some Money in Gambling and After That I Never Tried Gambling....
2) And I Know that Gambling is a Shit Game that Based on Pure Luck and No One Become Rich With Gambling So I Don't Like Gambling.....

Yeah another thread about if you are addicted to gambling, I have seen more than 10 similar threads within just few pages of this board. Why do people need to create a new thread about the same topic when there are so many threads already open.

People are different in any ways and on  how do they engage  to  a  particular thing  like  on gambling. ITs  not  really bad at all to  do gambling   and  we could not  call a person a  gambling addict directly because we wont  know if  hes  playing   excessively or   just  occasionaly . You could  actually  say  if  hes an addict  if   you saw  him  everyday  on playing gambling . Its   good for you  that you could able  to   control yourself and  stay remain  on the safer side which is  really  good to avoid addiction.

I think we've all been through this, and we know how bad it is to be addicted to.. Anything. Any addiction has its pros and cons, but the worst thing that can happen to a gambling addict is simply becoming homeless. Yes, you can become homeless in seconds if you don't know what you're doing.

I dont agree with the fact that every one who has done gambling is addicted to it.Yes there are many and gambling can be very addicting but there are people who are doing it with control like me i also love gambling,and do whenever i have some extra money,but its not a need for me.

This is  true, it  depends on  the person  on  how  he handle  himself  when  hes  playing gambling  but  playing   too much of it would surely  put  you  up into addiction. Having a strong self control and awareness would  really help you  out  to avoid addiction  on gambling.  People  do usually  play for  entertainment purposes and   just to spend  onto their  leisure times  but there are really people  would intend to  play  just to make  money on playing gambling.

You're addicted only if you gamble each day and you gamble with a lot of money, otherwise if you gamble sometimes only you aren't addicted to gambling, not every gambler is addicted

That's the wrong there if a people is playing gambling he is already known as gambking addict ,but we cant blame them because it is their thinking about it we cant change it unless they change their beliefs .( Me)Im not a gambling addict i just spend my spare time when i have ,i am busy person i work everyday then i do bitcoin some time gambling .hehe. So i think im not that addict also i have a self control(sometimes) but it does not leads me to lose big amounts or use all my money .

i think gambling addict is because we play gambling most often than other people and we do in every day and in out there many people do this but they don't want to be called as addicting person in gambling.

but for me, i think i am not addicting person in gambling because i don't play gambling as often, i only play gambling if i want and its not in every day.

ofcourse , gambling is a addiction and no one can easily seprate himself from such type of addiction because it is usually greediness of making money without hardwork , but about every people loss his money . so it is same thinking about me . and we should keep himself away from such type of things .

Maybe before but now I have change a lot, I only play gambling for fun and I do not regularly gambling unlike before. When I was addicted before, I play different kind of games in the internet and that can easily wipe out my bankroll, and honestly it does not do good for me as most of the time I am focus in gambling rather that focusing on my job to achieve my dream of being promoted.

So, guys I hope you will learn from other's experience and your experience for you not to ruin your life.

That's what most people will assume because gambling can be addictive. Not true because everyone has their own decision to continue gambling their money or to stop whenever they want. Yeah I got to a point where I realized i'm losing too much money on gambling and made some changes the next day.

I also like to do gambling some times in dice sites,or in live casinos playing roulette but i never got addicted to gambling.Even i do it really less,only sometimes so you cannot say that every one is a addicted one who has gambled,you just need to be busy in other things are and you will never get addicted.

If you want to know more about gambling addiction, you may want to read this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1475232.msg14872353#msg14872353 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1475232.msg14872353#msg14872353)

You will find there couple the most common myths people repeating about gambling. It is a nice test for everyone to answer those questions as well and see if you are addicted.

Actually no,

You can only be called addicted if you
can't control yourself in gambling.

Even it makes bad effects in your life you continuously playing.
That is addict, But if you're just only
playing occasionally then you are not.

Nope , anyone who plays gambling isn't automatically becoming a gambling addict without any reason to triggered it , like keep lose (wants to recover their losses) or keep win (wants to earn more).

Control yourself is important while playing gambling , keep your amount into your safe zone and never act like a stupid person (because you want to earn more and you bet all of your money in same time and lose on that attempt) .

Hopefully haven't and never to being addicted with gambling , I prefer gambling as the games and for entertainment purpose only.

I don't think that everyone who gamble from to time is a gambling addict. Same goes for those who drinks alcoholic beverages or plays computer games once in a week. Are they addicted? Certainly they are not. As far as you can controll yourself you can do lots of things which considered dangerous to do all the time without stopping.

Yeah,

You will only be called addicted to something
if you continuously looks for it even
you know that it's contributing or causing bad effects
to your life.

I love to play games but I am not addict because I am not spending much of the money in playing them I only play games for getting entertainment and I think addicts are those people who do not think about their money and spend all of them in gambling and do not save any of them.

I guess I used to be into gambling, but not a gambling addict. Gambling is actually fun even if our main objective is to earn money from it. Once we're there, we eventually enjoy the game and socialize with the people around. I don't gamble anymore. I feel like I'm only wasting my time and money gambling.

There are people in BustaBit who have been there for a year or two already and they are still in negative profit. I know that it's just a matter of luck but just looking at the statistics, I don't want to become one of them.

I am in to gambling alot and i like to gamble and do sports betting specially on cricket because for me it increases the fun of watching the game of cricket and creates interest even in a boring match,and i bet quiet regualarily in small amounts,but i dont say myself a gambling addict.

Exactly, whenever i say to another, that i am playing gambling, than he think that i am addicted gambler.
and i think anyone have right thinking about us, because i also have same thinking about everyone gamblers, i think every gambler are addict-er but except me. Basically it is wrong, who play gambling it is not necessary that he must be addict-er.
Many time i play gambling, but i always control myself and main thing is about the gambling, play it but not in a routine wise.

I am not addicted in gambling but sometime I play games on gambling I think it will not be addiction as according to my knowledge addict are spending their whole life only in gambling.

yes that is right to say that it become very difficult for you to stop gambling although you know already that you are loosing money in gambling and still you cannot stop it.

now I rarely gamble again, even very rare because there are some bustle in the real world that I had to accomplish. however, when gambling, I'll quit when I was feeling lost or uncomfortable, so maybe until now I was not addicted to gambling, even I have rarely play

No I don't think that people who do gambling are mostly addicted to it. In fact, I think there are a lot of gamblers who are able to control themselves to have just the right amount of time and money to be spent gambling. I think it depends on a certain person's level of self control if he or she would be addicted and that people who gamble shouldn't be generalized as gambling addicts
