How to spot a gambler addicted?

[ASHLIUSZ]

From my experience, when they don't stop until they lose. I have friends who would continue betting and would only stop after losing. After a few wins, they would never even consider withdrawing and enjpoying their winnings instead.

This happens with users who were into gambling for the first time or with users who are new to gambling. When a user makes an Betting that he can't afford but he does it by borrowing from friends and neighbours around him with the increased hope of winning. This is the easiest way to spot an person who is addicted.

It's very easy to spot an addicted gambler.

1. If he can't stop talking about his losses, wins and always want to recover them.
2. He can't sleep because of his losses.
3. He can't live a day without gambling.
4. He will do everything just to gamble if he runs out of funds.
5. He is greedy.

If my list isn't enough and still miss a lot, just add some.

Yeah sure, I will like to add that if he keeps borrowing from friends and family for gambling or even steal from them to make recovery of list funds then he's addicted. Lastly if he's always found in the midst of gamblers or casinos and other betting houses almost every time then you should know his problem.

Well that you had mentioned about keep on borrowing from friends and family for gambling can be considered the # 4 slot.
He will surely do everything he want just to keep on gambling, it's like he is desperately in need to gamble even without funds.

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?

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.

If they are always on a certain dice site, then they are addicted.

There are a shit ton of players that hang around PrimeDice and Justdice chatrooms literally 24/7 looking for someone to tip him or chat with. I know because I have logged in on different times of the day over the course of something like 2 months and that guy, i always saw.

If you see their public stats, they are almost always negative.

If they're positive, they will be back for more. And eventually they'll lose all they've got and cry out loud in the chat.

Yeah, when one finds himself hard to live without gambling a single time a day though he doesn't have funds is a pure state of addiction. If one user reaches such a level making him out of addiction is simply a hard task. Only if he self realizes his addiction can get rid of it.

That will only create another problem, it's a desperate measure when you borrow money to gamble, and knowing that it would not guarantee a profit then it's stupidity. Borrowing money is alright as long as you know what you are doing, and normally we borrow money to expand our business but to do it in gambling, I think that is ridiculous.

The only way to know if a person is an addicted gambler is very simple. Try to ask him if what he is going to choose, to gamble with free money or store his money.

Also there are identifiers that a person is an addicted gambler when he has always a very bad mood.

Because most of the time, they are losing and that makes their head very hot.

I saw someone forcing him to gamble, when he had no money he borrowed money to his friend but said for other reasons, not to gamble. To the extent reason is uncovered because too often borrow. After that he was not to quit but instead increasingly desperate, he sold his belongings. He sells first is the gadget. It was enough to be referred to as a gambling addict.

if i feel that i am near to become a gambler addict then first of all i will change my all hobbies and i will adopt those hobbies which needs more time, so it will make me busy and i will have no extra time to gamble and after that gradually my interest in gambling will decrease day by day and then finally i can stop playing.

This is a good list of characteristics of an addicted gambler. I would add a couple of words to the item 5. "... If he wins he wants to win more and more and he never stops until he loses everything".

And also I would add another item

6. He can't concentrate on other things, like reading a book or watching a movie. Gambling is always in his mind.

[White Christmas]

If you happen to be a in a casino you can easily spot an addicted gambler because you will notice that every game he chooses to play , dealers or bankers approaches him like they've known each other for a long time. Plus as he walk around in a whole casino area even with out playing managers in other gambling employees approaches and invite him to try his luck on other games.

A gambling addict is always busy gambling. If he is so pre occupied even though there's not that much to do at all, he's probably just busy gambling.

Big loss or a big win will make people to addict to this gambling very quickly. If anyone makes gambling is the only source to kill free time, and if they make free time to play gambling in a busy schedule then it is fixed that he/she is addicted to gambling. And your all points are 100% right, and one more important thing is Greedy.

I agree, that is why it is very hard to spot someone who is addicted to gambling, because just like what you have said, they are spending most of their time on gambling and just on gambling. And it is also true that they are going to do whatever it takes, just for them to have something to spend in gambling, and one of the example is always borrowing money from their friends, even though what they are really thinking is that their friends give it to them for free, and he is not obligated to return it when have the money.

It's for real, when a gambler starts to be on that feeling, he will be having hard time to get out of it. And when he is starting to act like that, we can spot and consider him as a certified addicted gambler.

If you always see a man, every day in the same casino or something, that person is probably addicted. And every time he has free time, and he will just go on gambling. That's the hard part, if he or she I really an addict, it might get ugly just because he will try to get money whenever he can to gamble.

Well the logic is there, spotting an addicted gambler is easy that way. Most of them are busy gambling and doesn't have enough time for other things. But there are addicted gamblers that aren't that busy, they may be doing some other things but they keep on thinking about their first bet for this day after their work.

I don't think that we can consider a gambler thinking about gambling during their work without gambling since addiction in gambling leads a person to gamble more which causes them to lack their time to other activities. In this case, a person that has control doing no gambling but thinking about it can not be consider as gambling addicted.

[boyptc]

I guess it's hard to find and spot a gambler that is addicted. But basing on the a certain casino's statistics we can see those people that are in the leader board. Those people that are there and listed for being the top wagered can be considered as addicted gamblers.

I can say I think of gambling even I'm at work, I love gambling and I have a lot of free time at work so it gives me liberty to gamble. That's how I am attached with gambling and maybe I can call myself as an addicted gambler but that is not a big deal to me because I already learn how to control myself.

Yes, mainly it's the greed is what makes you an addicted gambler. If only people knew that, if only they could have realize that when they want to make money with gambling it is their greed what is pushing them to start betting. When you know this, then it's much easier to not gamble, in a bad sense of the word, because gambling for fun is okay IMO.
