Are you a problem gambler?

[serjent05]

I'll say this again people get addicted to gambling but it has been proved that it is  not as addicting as smoking and can be solved by the person. There are very rare cases but there are no solutions but for a normal addict instead of staring at your loses daily go out to a garden daily do some jogging divert your mind, go to your home live with your parents for few days , go to a animal shelter these help you to calm down and realise your mistakes

What is your basis that it is not an addictive activity? There are numerous studies pointing to that gambling as something that could be well classified as an addiction which is a mental problem similar to getting addicted to drugs and alcohol. Yeah sure it can be diverted, but not all gamblers especially the addicted ones can do this because they have something wrong in their cognitive functions.

I think with the help of a psychiatrist everyone could cope up and divert their minds into something if they could just follow them correctly, and everything is gonna be fine. A daily exercise and meditation could also help the problem gamblers even the alcoholic and smokers addict could have change if they really just set their minds correctly. They need to put a lot of effort to it if they want to stop of what they are doing is not healthy to them.

I think psychiatrist help if the person is eager to help.  Without personal interest to recover, a psychiatrist will do nothing.  It is always the persons will and decision that will decide if he will recover from being gambling addict.  I also agree with you, to support my claim that it is the persons decision, since you just said that if they have set their minds correctly.  Meaning they need to act and put in their minds the right thoughts and decision to improve and return to normal beings.

Gambling for me is not a problem. I don't often gamble. I can see how it can become a problem though. I can see if I had carried in making big bets I would be in trouble and in too far and spend time chasing loses probably ending up in more loss.

The problems that gambling can inflict are not solely about money. When a person's level of addiction has reached the high one, they will tend to ignore other things outside of gambling, for example, their daily job. So, gambling could just make a person go bankrupt and lose their job at the same time if they didn't careful enough. May we not be part of those people!

I have to mention that also addicted people become very angry and they always have bad mood. They don't go out often, they rather stay at home, they even become antisocial, which leads to loss of friends and maybe even family. Money is most important thing that gambler can lose, but there are many less important things too.

Gamblers who become addicted eventually become anti-socialists. Their minds are fully occupied by gambling only and most of the time, if they are not playing, is when are they going to play again. They are always uneasy and if they want to play but you stop them, they would suddenly turn into someone who seems different from who you know. These are the effects of getting addicted to gambling and should be cured or treated as soon as possible.

As for me, I don't have any problems when it comes to gambling. I have control and I always managed to avoid playing unnecessarily.

Lol, think gambler with the anti social element seems a funny comparison. I think gambling worst option to try earning in bitcoin. We can choose gambling as worst option to earn bitcoins. If you have problem in this just be away then gamblers may loose all the money then gambling site owners high profit and implement new business in bitcoin itself.

Hmm. I don't think the addicted gamblers become anti social. In a sense they tend to shy away because they think that most people would questions their habit in gambling. But if they experience a big win, for sure a gambler would treat all his families and friends. I only see a problem if they have lost big and try to borrow from someone who he used to help when he was winning and that person didn't give the money he needed. The gambler will feel betrayed by this and thus may result in a tension between the two and the friendship ruined.

I'm feeling like that lately due to constantly falling prices of coins. I must be addicted to cryptocurrencies haha  Money is a very important thing to me, even though i'm not a gambling addict. If you lost your wallet with cash you'd be angry too, so money has to be important to you. Are you an addicted gambler then?

There is no need to say if someone is antisocial - therefore he is more prone to addiction or is addicted already. 
Our worlds evolved to the point that we will have a generation of anti-social nerds in a couple of years anyway.
People are avoiding face to face confrontations and are more comfortable when talking to each other via chats or IMs.

One should never consider gambling as a form of earning money/bitcoin. Not even as the worst options. There are many other "worst" options which is far better than gambling with better outcome. You should gamble just for fun!

[Barbarian]

There are bunch of similar tests in google, you could add them all in first post. Anyway, my "score" was 5/20.

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?

Support is always good, problem is with people who won't admit they have problems until they reach bottom.

And sometimes they do not even admit they are addicted when they hit rock bottom, those people will probably never learn and get out of the horrible gambling addiction in their life time.

That's true, it's until it's too late when they try to ask for your help in whatever they needed. I think, there is a reason in this world that we are not alone. No one can really live alone on an island, probably that's going to make you crazy as you continue to live there. It's horrible that there are a lot of people who don't accept help even from family, I think it's time to look at ourselves about everything.

that's actually the basic thing to do to avoid you have a lot of problem caused by gambling. but well people really couldn't care even a little bit about this. they prefer to just keep going no matter what , and as for the result in the end nothing good happened not even you get back your capital . far from completely profitable.

Money is important for every person in this world. To earn money only people do a different kind of jobs and make money. But making money from gambling is not a good idea. Yes if we lost our wallet we will get angry, and we become sad mood few days. Same thing will happen when we lost bitcoins in gambling. Those who realise this fact they will not get addict to this gambling. But those who not realise this fact they will addict gambling and spoil their life.

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.

Not only this site, you can find a lot of useful information online if you are willing to change your life for the better. You have a problem in gambling because you are addicted so quitting should be your main focus and you have to do things that will help you because it's going to be a long process.
Also, seeking advise from your love ones is a big help, they see what you are going through because they care for you.

I'm not a problem gambler,  I just usually play in the gambling site for fun and entertainment only.
Then rather than that nothing else. Maybe to others who always loose in the game thy are the problem gamblers I think.

As long as you are remaining as entertainment seeking gambler, you can enjoy as a problem free gambler for sure. Those gambler who are seeking money from gambling finding their life struggling with lots of gambling problems.

Losses and then facing problems are most common for any gambler but if you are managing yourself not facing any problem due to gambling then you must be doing gambling in the right way how it should be played. Honestly it is not possible for most of the gamblers here, your must be lucky, you are already into right way of gambling, keep it up.

If gambling is a way for you to cope up with your problems, then you're likely in store for more problems than the one you currently have. If you have a problem, never resort to gambling to forget or find solutions. It almist all the time.makes it a lot worse. Its even more foolish than drinking alcohol as thia involves you making decisions with money on the line. The fact thatbyou have a problem you're thinking about makes it hard to make rational and sound decisions in gambling

[terrific]

I'm a problem gambler and every time I gamble and lose that is starting me to freak out.
I use to regret that I ever gamble and will always blame myself and the house about my losses which is not a good thing.

Yes should we play gambling games is just for fun and entertainment than gambling be considered as method to earn money i don't have any problem with play gambling or related with gambling, it is good place to make fun and entertainment and should the other people don't think that gambling is a problem on our life.

[yellow1]

I'm not a problem gambler because i play for fun and for stress relieves, whenever i gamble i feel happy even if lose i'm not think of that. Im not a problem gambler, i'm not spent too much amount of money in gambling, because i know how to limit myself and control when i gamble. It did not affect in my job and relationship. It just a pastimes and how to control in greedy when i gamble and bet. Gambling is help to release stress sometimes it makes excitement and earn easy money and a profit also, its profitable when winning even if its addictive. It depends to the gambler how they controls of their feelings and emotions.
