How can you tell if you are suffering from gambling addiction?

[gabmen]

If someone is suffering from gambling addiction, you will notice that he is always gambling at casinos, with friends, or against strangers. He is always busy gambling. He only has time to eat or for work (If he has a job). Gambling addiction is like video games addiction, you will always be stuck in it unless you decide to quit it once and for all. You can tell by the look of his eyes, someone who is greedy for money.

Even when he won’t be gambling, he would be thinking of it. His minds will be making certain plans and trying to figure out strategy that will make his victory certain next time. When he will try to give up, it would be more difficult than he might think. Gambling is more addictive than video gaming though (except for Japanese).

Exactly. There would be something inside your mind that would be craving to put that bet or sit on a table. Though i can't really be sure how it works for actual addicts since i'm not one of them

A gambler should control his emotions and should not think about any other way. It’s like a possession. Gamblers keep on hurting them by playing again and again like they have no control over their hearts.  I pity such people who are aware of the hell but still jump into its well. Anyone can tell that they are out of their senses.

I just want to ask how would you know if a person is suffering from gambling addiction. Can you guys tell me the signs of it?

For me,the sign or symptom of a person that suffering from gambling addiction is they  gamble even when they don’t have the money. They may gamble until they've spent the last money,and then move on to money they don’t have—money to pay bills, credit cards, or things for their children. They may feel pushed to borrow, sell, or even steal things for gambling money.

The reason why we are addicted is because we are too ambitious and don't fully understand that game we are playing, I mean the chance of winning.
Being in a position that you are poor and  eager to make money we should not use that to think of making money in gambling because that is a very risky move and most likely you end up poorer until you are too frustrated in your life.

These are a signs of addicted gamble, this randomly behavior show us that he has a addiction in gambling. Although we have no prefect reasons and perfect solution about addiction but we have a lot of valid sign and reason that help us to recognize that he has a addiction in gambling. Mostly i see addicted gambler always have no money and he is always trying to borrow the money to others and use it in gambling.

You can know how a gambler is a suffering gambling addiction. Like in drugs, they can't live a single day with taking it. And in gamblers, they can't live a single without gambling or visiting a casino or trying it with themselves. Their money is already allocated ONLY to gamble and no other purposes in their lives, so if you are person like this, you know now that you are addicted.

They might deaperate want to gamble again even have no money left.
And when they stuck , the worst thing could happened is desire to ends the life.
Which it is ridiulous , becareful with gambling addiction it is really deadly.

How can they gamble if there's no money left anymore for them? They are just stuck and they don't want to see that they are failing with their gambling addiction. It is deadly if you will let gambling kill you and it's gonna to kill you softly, you gamble with your money and you'll be half dead from it if you keep on recovering your losses and never learn from it.

Easily they could looking for other fund sources , if they cannot find it then the worst thing i have said above could really happened.
Also try to tell the bad story to people around you , to people that close to you , don't hold it by yourself.
So they aware that you are in trouble and might can help you out , it could be an option too right?

Yeah it is an option is think. You can only discuss your bad experiences and bad addiction to your very close friends. Tell them about the time you had in this gambling and ask them for their help in this regard. May be they will well aware of your condition and help you coming out of this shit.

In my opinion, I think if the person are borrowing a lot of money from his friends or relatives by fabricating stories in order to get the loan, and he does not have a proper job which generate a stable income, but instead he is always gambling in casinos even when he is in debt, he is suffering from gambling addiction and he surely needs helps from professional counselor to quit gambling for good.

If a person can not refuse to gamble and is uncomfortable because of a lack of opportunity to play, then he already has a relationship with which one can not self-correct.

If a person can not refuse to gamble and is uncomfortable because of a lack of opportunity to play, then he already has a relationship with which one can not self-correct.

I agree and most specially if he can not control himself and the amount of money he/she plays when he gamble and would not be an issue if he/she losses. And plays everyday, yes he/she then does have a relationship with gambling already.

[iv4n]

I can tell that I'm not suffering from gambling addition. I don't borrow money for gambling, I don't gamble everyday all day, I don't gamble to cut my loses. This three things can give you an answer are you addicted or not. If all the answers are yes then you have a big problem, and if you don't search for help it can be just worst then it's now.
Hardest part is admitting that you have a problem, and if you can't realize that you need someone to help you. Now I gamble less then before, I have more obligations this summer and less time for gambling, so if you are under pressure from gambling chill and do something else, that helps for sure.

Well here are some of the factors that you might observe when one person is being addicted to gambling:

1. If the person relies on gambling as a means of earning profit;
2. If the person plays non-stop, even exhausting all of his/her resources from gambling;
3. If the person borrows money from his/her relatives or friends in order to gamble;
4. If the person gambles on a daily basis, resulting on a negative impact that affects his/her parents or family; and most importantly
5. If the person is in serious debt

There are still some factors that I did not mention but based from my experience and observation, mostly those are the symptoms that rise when a person is addicted to gambling. It may be very difficult for one to change his gambling habits but with the right guide from his relatives, friends, and family nothing is impossible on changing. If the person still rejects change and continues his gambling ways, then this would lead to total destruction of his relationships and life as well.

I agree with that. Once a gambler became addicted in gambling, those you have mentioned would likely to be his actions. But aside from that, the addicted gambler will also have a sudden change of attitude and behavior. Once you noticed this, one should be conscious every now and then about the person who is acting like this. An addicted gambler can also become dangerous not just for himself but to other people as well.

      In my opinion, I can tell if a person is suffering from gambling addiction if multiple of his signs are Compel, He force himself to make way to have money to use in gambling, Next If he can bet his valuable things like his car, house and jewelries. And he is in the serious debt because of gambling. So do not be exhausting in gambling just enjoying your life and play and lastly have fun.

try to think when you're addicted to gambling, and your money is always running out when gambling? no more money to eat, to buy cigarettes and other necessities. what will you do when you are in that painful situation? that's why I stopped gambling, because gambling addiction made me suffer a lot.

[betMaster]

An addicted gambler always talk about easy money. It builds an illusion in his mind that he is going to get rich real fast. Gambling can be very profitable but not always and not for everybody. Details in every game you play are the reason to win or to loose. If you're a gambler, i advice you to learn self control. Becareful of falling in addiction trap, it's so hard to get rid of it!

[Nibeloss]

We all suffer from something, passion is a good feeling, but in moderation. If you can not restrain yourself in this regard. it is better to forget, because losing a part, you want to recoup and what it leads to, rightly to collapse. Think before you take such decisive steps.
