How to spot a gambler addicted?

[marlboroza]

I think that usually a guy which play games for a long time, risk to became a gambler addicted. Which method you use for stop plaiyng when you understand that you are near to became addicted?

Near to became addicted? Either you are addicted or not, there is no middle. Time doesn't really matter, when someone is addicted and stop gambling for month or two, or year, first time that person enters a casino will blow all his money away. Unfortunately i know how addiction works and triggers because i know few gambling addicts.

If gambling becomes a part of your daily routine, you're already hooked into it. Just look at the other types of addiction like drinking and smoking weed. They all do it every single day. Maybe not in a fixed time of day but they do it every day, mostly at night. Gambling addiction isn't so different to other addiction. It's like there's this thing inside your head that dictates you or forces you to gamble.

You should definitely seek help if you start to choose gambling over your family. Like, when you would rather bet on an online casino than to spend time with your family. I've never experienced this myself since I do things moderately so this is purely just speculation/observation.

For example, i don't play a lot or for long time (i play games spot during my free time), so i have no idea about, but i trade forex all day and when i had a significant  loss i usually turn off my Pc and i go out for a drink , just for not run behind loss.

Thats a good idea. Try to do something that would be fun that can take your attention away from gambling. For me during my gambling days, if i lose considerable amount, i give myself one or two chances to recover from those losses. So i try to catch up on the loss but for two times at most. If i weren't able to do so i know for myself that its not my day and leave and do other things.

When a person is addicted to gambling, he will tend to ignore the other things around him. The desire to always gamble will always been a top priority. We could lose other valuable things, not just money, if we got addicted to gambling.

The signs of a gambling problem are often the same as the signs of other addictions.
Common signs of addiction include, but are not limited to, the following:
Feeling the need to be secretive about gambling.
Having trouble controlling gambling habits.
Gambling when you cannot afford to.
Your friends and family express concern about your gambling.

I don't count myself gambling addicted or even close to that. When I have a line of nonstop loosing in the game I just leave it and that's it. After some time I come back to the game and in the same case I leave it again and so on.
I have heard that the most sure way to save addicted to gambling man is to block this person in the special clinic.

That's not right anymore, you are killing your freedom, the good solution to cure some addiction is to turn your activities into a more productive ones. You will lose interest in gambling when you have something that you spent your time so much and that should not be a gambling related games.
Spend time with our family could certainly help or make ourselves busy with our job.

You are right since this attitude is already considered as gambling addict since you are playing gambling on constant basis and those loses are just fine for you and you leave it there but speaking of playing back again and lose it up again then  it indicates addiction.As you said there are lots of things to make worth of our time rather than on doing gambling.

Only spending money on gamble and never have others money reserve, betting and can't sleep, gambling leads violences and fight.

You are not looking addicted person, and as you use the different ways, like play gambling on a free time and after playing turn off the pc, and left it. So i think you are already doing very well. We become addicted only when we continuously playing and don't take worry about the addiction.

You can actually spot a gambler addict, when a person chasing his losses through betting high amounts but in the end it will added to his losses. And also a person who would like to borrow money from other people, the fact he will gamble it to regain his losses. I am thankful that I don't have this problems for now.

Now, it's hard to spot an addicted gambler because we only gamble online and we are the only one who knows if we are addicted or not. I guess this will also help us not to be ashame with our actions but the risk is always there since no one will give us advice on what to do.

You can easily spot a addicted gambler if you see him everyday on a real casino and playing every game there. But if in online casino it is very hard to spot a addicted gambler. You need to check the name of the gambler in the history list every time you play. It is literally hard tho.

As I posted this not applied for online gamblers but also real life gamblers. I had a friend in real life his into gambling, he's being to obsessed with it, the fact he will lend just to catch his losses. I remember when I came with him to a pawnshop to sell his iphone just to fill his addiction. So in the end nothing happened, he lost.

By talking him in general you can also find if a person is addicted to gambling or not. Like if he just avoids everything and is looking for money all the time then he is addicted and if he is calm, gentle to talk with you and much more relaxed (because an addicted gambler is always stressed ) then he is not addicted.

You cant be still sure if someone would talk on you on relaxed way isn't already a gambling addict because I know some people who are addicted to it still acts as normal and not too stressed.Addiction on gambling doesn't rely on those indications anytime but most of them are stressed for sure because they lose up too much money.

If you want to know you're gambler addicted or not, see how much time a day you spent just for gambling, don't care about anything beside gamble, don't care about how much money did you spent for gambling. Just my opinion currently many people got addiction in online gambling not real gambling, because in online gambling we can play everywhere and everytime just need Internet connection.

The real gambling addict people are less to compare online gambling. Yes, this online gambling is very easy to access and the bitcoin made people play online gambling very easy and qickly. It is easy to find addicted gambler if you do not control your feelings. And you will make free time to play gambling, and if you play gambling with your real money, these are the symptoms of addicted gamblers.

[margarete11]

I think people tend to be a gambling addict if they have already losing out of control for themselves like selling personal things just to satisfy his gambling needs and If his personal relationship with his friends family and loved ones are affected with no doubt he is already addicted in gambling

IMHO, I always gamble with that amount which I can afford to lose.I deposit only 0.01btc per day.And I stop gambling on that day when my deposit balance got finished.Since gambling is so addicted, so we need to find ways to stop.ourselves from gambling.Some times I make a tour with my friends and go outside the city,it also helps me to avoid gambling.
