Are you a problem gambler?

[cotton ball]

I once had a big problem with gambling addiction, but that's not all because I used to think gambling is the main source of income and can afford to pay all my mortgage debt, big problems happen when I'm not having luck, my misfortune comes not stopping. Finally I sold my wealth assets to cover all the debts and quit all the online businesses in a long time.

But it's all been a thing of the past, now I've come as a more mature person, nothing better than consciousness to learn from mistakes.

I just did answer the 20 questions on the link given and the results is 4 yes which can be called as compulsive gambler and the result is actually right since i dont really gamble too much which those things mentioned or ask are characteristics of a gambling addict. Support would really be needed when you dont know already what to do but first we should realized or help ourselves to quit gambling for good.

I think this is a good way to help people with gambling problem, a lot of people not realizing they have problem until it is too late, and the question in that site really help someone to determine whether he / she need help from expert or not and I had 9 yes answer from the question

[Dontme]

Absolutely big no. Because at first I am not a gambler. I think when you are a problem gambler you are not going to look upon what you hold or how much you hold. You have lose big bet.

Gambling is addictive thing which is followed and invest the fund unwantedly in the any mode such as casino, betting, games or more. People will continuously invest the bitcoin whenever they see lose or profit. Once they will become a empty pocket in that. Then only they will realize to move out of gambling,

most people who have gamble for years and make it as a source of income will surely had more than 7 yes answer , as they gamble in regular time hard to avoid the fact that the chance for people who did it won't get addicted and had a serious gambling problem.

keep telling the bad things that could happened because gambling are of course better rather than lure people with a good winning story to play.

I'm not a problem gambler but I can help those in that situation with advice on how I managed to gamble over the years without problems or addiction. I have psyched up myself and don't panic because I lost but I follow my plan and specific bankroll over a period and it works great. No greed on my part and of course no anxiety.

[bering]

i have recently seeing the site and answered 3 yes but indeed if you were answers these questions with yes option at least for 7 yes then probably realize or not you're addicted gambling but during did a gamble i never felt just like sold anything for gambling or gambling to get more money so i consider my self still within reasonable limits

[Gaaara]

Lying is most efficient with these kind of question, admitting that they were having trouble with gambling is most likely the main problems of gamblers, so sometimes this thing dont help, but this might help to build up a good community here, so good idea tho.

[yoseph]

I am not and will never be a problem gambler, I don't even consider myself a full time gambler and I don't gamble week in and week out. I only bet when the probability of winning exceeds 75%.

[emberbekas]

Gambling would be a problem if it disrupted our finances considerably and took up most of our time. So far, I am still within reasonable limits and I declare myself that I have no gambling problem.

[lite]

Nope, i'm not a problematic gambler. i used to be one, but now i'm not. i didn't really required anyone else but myself to get on track. if you really decide to quit/control gambling, you can do it all by yourself!

[serjent05]

Took the test...."Most compulsive gamblers will answer 'Yes' to at least 7 of these questions."  I answered "Yes" to 10 of them but I don't feel I have a REAL problem other than spending too much time gambling when I could be spending more time with my family and friends.  Good thread though....I have some experience so I will participate.  I don't think gambling is wrong if it's done responsibly....so I can provide some insight into that general area....hopefully not in a negatively enabling way.

I do take the test too and just had 1 yes answer.  Well I guess we never knew that we are already a compulsive gambler until it is late.  It seems there are basis why they say that way.

I agree it all start in ourselves but sometimes there are cases that we are too attached to something that we need an extra help from specialist and our family.  Though I believe we also need determination and perseverance in order to recover our self control.

Took a quick look at the website.They're limited to United States.Gamblers here,the addicted one's come from other countries.Campaigns like this doesn't do any wonders until the victim is treated in person.

I agree with this. Such sites are usually used by the addicts to put their conscience at ease. The next day they go back to gambling just to return to the site again and again. Real life support works much better, especially if you have a family member or a friend that keeps an eye on you.

I have people in my life that have serious gambling problems so I feel compelled to reach out. We can all use a little support every now and then. I started this thread because I know there are people on the forum that may benefit from some guidance and I know there are people on the forum that have their own experiences who can provide some valuable insight. So why not get the two together?

Not a bad idea. I doubt it will really make someone quit gambling, but it's much better than doing nothing.

A lot of people's gambling problems can be solved by learning some money management (bankroll management) techniques....but a true problem gambler doesn't have the discipline to practice proper bankroll management schedules....they rationalize it away or are too compulsive to stay focused....

Precisely, it is basically people who do should learn some gambling money management techniques. Because however gambling directly concerned about money management. And it all takes the price level has good management, because all it takes poise, intelligence, and also a good self control. I see that it is indeed money management technique is absolutely necessary, because it will be concerned on the strategies that will be used.

Not so much a problem gambler,I go on gambling to win the game so that i could give my family some attention to shop them and go outhing sometimes bonding with my family.
But when im struggling at money,I go on gambling to have meet my needs.

[Cherylstar86]

Definitely not, I am not a problem on gambling but certainly gambling if abused could result to worst problem ever. This could result to worst situations in your life because it will loss all your profit if you depend your future from it and in reality no one prosper from gambling activities. More stories telling about gambling negative effects to their lives, but still those affected were ignorimg it and don't give attention. If gambling activities will be abuse, and it exaxtly involved a lots of money to be wasted from extreme bettings on games that earns gambling rewards on winning; so you became addicted by having more bets expecting more lucky days and end up lossing.

[Amadues]

Definitely not. You know when to gamble,how to gamble etc. Without good knowledge,skill, edge it creates problems which you need to handle later. You cant afford enough time to your family,relatives.That's not good relationship behaviour  between you and relatives. But dont forget this line: They dont like gamblers, they like only winners

[BitFinnese]

I am not a problem gambler, though I wonder how does relaxation / removing stress in terms of gambling contribute to a problem gambling.  I am still puzzled about this since i view this kind of activity a positive one since it enable us to unwind and do our work on the following week with 100% efficiency since we are starting fresh.

[michaelch]

No, I have no problems with gambling

[ufaiz50]

I don't have problem in gambling and I only answer yes 5 times out of 20 questions. I think your thread it's helps in gambling problems although the most effective way is to meet with troubled gamblers and to intervene in all the activities I mean family or best friends.
