Favoritism vs Addiction

[joeperry]

Am not really a full time gambler but I'm a player, and if gamblers are addicted they'll have some favorite games to play, then what about the player who has also their favorite games can we really tell that they're also addicted to that certain game?

I think anyone can have their own favorite game based on their taste or whether they're comfortable about a certain game... but if you have a favorite game, for me I think they're are not considered as an addicted to a certain game because it's their favorite maybe because they're comfortable to it or they're good about it that's why they consider it as their favorite.

For me Addicted to a certain game is when you're out of control... wherein you can't control yourself to play your favorite game or can't limit yourself to play. All of this are according to my own perspective and perception.

I was little curious about this earlier, for I have seen some replies / feedbacks on my previous post that seems questionable to me. Only positive thought can be given, any negativities will get deleted

Actually not all gamblers are addicted in the first place which is a common misconception of many people. Then, addiction is different from favoritism because addiction is playing in a sense out of control in which he plays in no moderation and like treating gambling as a part of his life like he cannot barely live without him playing gambling. While on the other side, favoritism is playing in proper moderation in which even he have a favorite game he plays, he can stand on his own playing it on the right frequency, it is just that game is what he plays all over again at different time frames. Well, they might be link to each other if favoritism for a game goes out of control which makes it turn out into addiction. That is why whenever I play into the online casino I am currently into, I keep in mind of having my control on the favorite games I play from the variety of games they have on it so I won't come into an end of me getting addicted into the games i usually play.

Addiction and favoritism are real different and apart from each other because favoritism in terms of playing gambling is sticking into a certain game he usually play because he find essence and interest as well as enjoyment enough for him to always play that game. While addiction seems like trying and playing variety of games seeking for a way to earn, chasing losses which sounds that it is a playing attitude which is already out of control and proper moderation. But indeed that on some cases, favoritism can lead to addiction once favoritism being applied on a game became obsession on playing it out of control. I would like to know more about the variety of games you were talking about in that online casino for me to be able to see if I will find an interesting game that will suit my preference.

Indeed. Those two are really far away connected from each other and distinguish two different type of player in gambling. But favoritism can lead to addiction once the gaming behavior has turned out of control. You can check the online casino I am currently into to see the variety of games and see if there are games that will suit your preference.

Addiction from my understanding is inability to avoid things that are no-beneficial to you.
If a player is spending much of his time on game that adds no value to his life then he's probably addicted to the game.
