Is this man addicted to gambling?

[tungaqhd]

it can be called as addicted at low level.like me in the past, i always spend all my money receive from signature campaign and other sources on the internet on gambling. He is addicted to gambling but he just trying to deny it  he may be worried about it but can't stop gambling, so he is addicted.

No matter how they deny such thing they cant accept to themselves that they are not addicted to gambling but seeing on what hes acting up that old man is considered as one because he do play on constant basis even though he didnt use his own money but still he have the aspects of a gambling addict and what if hes friend would stop on his business for sure he would use his own money on playing gambling again.

Well there's a bigger danger with being in denial if you're addicted to gambling because tendency is that you're just going to spend more and more time and money while telling yourself that it's just fine, not noticing that the more you play the more you dig yourself deeper into addiction. The simple fact that you he is audacious enough to spend other people's money tells you that gambling is already a top priority in his life

I do agree so. If we think someone is addicted to gambling, 90% that they are addicted to it and we have to immediately tell them what we are think and hope that they will soon change themselves. The more we delay, the more money they can lose and bad results they can have

Whether you are not wrong, i mean what he did is right fight to no gamble. It shows that he does not want to be addicted with gambling and it's all of the beginning for hin learn to control himself for not always gamble but i guess he need to more struggle harder because after he can control himself, positive he wasnt addicted with gambling.

[Capradina]

Sometimes a person does not think that he has really hooked on gambling. in fact, addicted to gambling is not about spending money, and stop when they want, but how often they return. if your friend often go back to gamble, then of course he is one of those who are addicted to gambling.

Yes we can think of him as addicted but it is not bad thing if he have control on himself. That addiction is harmless but if he is spending his money and losing all of his money and he do not care then it is dangerous and it will destroy his life.

yes that is very right to say that gambling is not a bad thing but the way through which we play gambling is not correct. as most of the gambler do not have any strategy and planning for gambling therefore for most of the time they cannot make money and even lose their own money.

Everything indeed depends on the thoughts or mindsets that we give to it. If indeed we have been wrong in cultivating a mindset in the gambling (doing various inappropriate) then the results obtained are also very bad. Because gambling requires a skill, every skill certainly have an advantage inside. There is nothing that we can get in the gambling without utilizing the skills and experience

its depend on them, they want to accept our advice or not, because we can not push them to stay away from gambling and i think if they don't care with our advice, they will only tells to us, this is my money, i am responsible with my money, you just stay away from me. i can said this because i have this experience in the past with my best friend and gladly, now he can quit from gambling and now he don't playing gambling at least not playing in front of me and his family.

Hes already done his job working hard from this world and now hes time to enjoy the another time of his life being addicted on gambling is not that bad at all as long as money is not his problem. He is already 50 years old of age playing poker in casino will be more increase his critical thinking will be more inhance his ability to do more work.

You said that his already done his job working hard from this world. But you also said that playing poker will increasing his critical thinking and enhance his ability to do work? I'm confused.

He is still not addicted because he don't used his money to play and can stop if he wants to.

[terrate]

My close friend is 50 years old. He's never been addicted to anything throughout his life. His friend made a poker website and now he keeps playing there a lot. he also uses some free tickets to tournaments he gets from betcoin.ag signature campaign. He plays almost every day for a few hours. And he became more nervous in general. But he doesn't think he's addicted and his argument for that is that he can stop playing for a day or two (that's true) and he doesn't spend his own money on it at all. Would you call such a man addicted?

If use real money to play, sure is addicted because is like a daily earn money.
But if he really is interesting in poker, like u said he haven't addicted in anything and it will be good he find the things he want and he love.

Just be care of not being busted then is ok.

Im gambler so i said that.

[Kotone]

if he is not loosing then why you need to tell him to stop if his happiness is on gambling then go for it where going to his position soon he is just enjoying is time after being stress working hard for his money to earn. As long as his kids are already grown up and had descent job then his time is to enjoy his entire life by playing gamble.

[icecube45]

If he plays gambling does not interfere with his family life it does not matter. As you say he only gambles using free tickets that get from the signature campaign, he also does not spend his money to gamble. Maybe I think it does not matter if it becomes entertainment for him. If asked if he is an addict, maybe I do not think it's a gambling addiction. Because they can still stop playing for a day or two, so it still has self-control (as long as he can stop maybe I think it does not include addiction).

Right now I would say he found a new hobby, which is perfectly fine. Like you said he just spends a few hours there, even though he does it every day. It's not disturbing his financial life right now, and if really is just a few hours, it also not disturbing his social life. You could try to see if he can actually stay away from it, for a week or two, instead of just two days, and see how he handles it.

[ice18]

He only finds playing poker as a good hobby and I think this also help him managing stress at the age of 50
and considering that he is not using his own money we cant call it addiction for now but if this behavior will
continue for a year or more this might lead to addiction..

I think you have a point that its not a gambling addiction but if you are still doing it until now we can consider it addiction.
Addiction is just like you are doing repeatedly like playing a games like you are playing dota2 you are playing until now we can consider that you are addicted.. so in gambling even you are gamble without investing or depositing but you are playing using the free tickers or claim faucet bonus if you are still gamble right now from before and until now we can consider it as gambling addiction..

Well we can say that it helps his stress manageable and it is a hobby of his own. But playing poker requires money, or maybe bitcoin, I don't know a site or a casino that let you play poker for free, unless it is an adroid application or a game. But usually, you will be ending up a gambling addict.

[crwth]

For me, in my opinion, being addicted in whatever the thing you want to do is destructive. For example, if you are addicted to smoking cigarettes, even if you know the consequences, why do you still do it? Then you have the answer, you are addicted to it, and your body needs that. If you know that it's destroying you in your life, you got to stop it.

[Apened]

It can be called now as addicted person by playing of gambling ,As the OP said his friend cant resist playing gambling so i think it is not called to be only a hobby of playing even we say that the money he use is not coming from his wallet the day will come that he may use the money he have in his pocket .

[Oilacris]

it can be called as addicted at low level.like me in the past, i always spend all my money receive from signature campaign and other sources on the internet on gambling. He is addicted to gambling but he just trying to deny it  he may be worried about it but can't stop gambling, so he is addicted.

This is true,even myself would say the same thing if i do something which involves money and someone do advice me regarding on what should i do.I would definitely say that mind your own business since its my own money then i do have the full control of it.Still some people do accept some advice but as far as i believe most people wont really care at all as long they pleased theirselves on playing or what they gonna do with their money.

[iqlimasyadiqa]

I think he is in the process of addicted to gambling game. All things that can change the way our mindset then it is a very hard thing not to do (addiction).
