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? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) 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 It is difficult when to draw the line between favoritism and addictiveness as they have different manifestations. A person may favour someone/something over another but that does not mean that he is addicted to it. In contrast, being addicted to something/someone means you find satisfaction from that feeling and you are insatiably hunger to look for more. Furthermore, gamblers suffer this type of problem especially when they lack the self-discipline in controlling themselves. With their thirst for this satisfaction, they will exhaust every means in order to feed it- thus addiction is born.

I also think that for you to win in games you must have developed your skills in it and that is what gives you that winning and profits and as such it is important that winning in game is not addict nor favoritism but skilkfulness. However, in gambling one can be addicted because it is only luck that makes you to succeed. So many people lose because they did not understand that in gambling it is very difficult to win unlike game and trading.

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.

Favoritism is a feeling that is natural, we all at some point can lean towards something that we like. The addiction is when they pass the limits of what we like, doing it at every moment, leaving many commitments aside, just to satisfy the need. I think that addiction is difficult to overcome, there is a long way to fall from favoritism to addiction, however, in our personality, there must be mechanisms to control in case you start to fall into addiction. It is best to be calm, and have many things to do, to master the feeling.

Nah. If ever theres a connection between these two, it's not that prominent. A favorite gambling game or any other game at that matter, can be controlled. It's your top pick among other games but not necessarily to the point that you're going to lose yourself over it. That's far from what addiction is.

So many reasons, and opinions about the OP, I guess it really is different on how we look at it. But like @akram143 has said it must be a stage or process in which gamblers are being addicted through favoritism. And no doubt that both will just result on the same thing.
From my understanding favoritism will not lead towards addiction. Maybe some 20% might get into addiction through favouritism. Most of the gamblers just spend when their favourite team or specific players are there in the event. This will be available periodically, upon which there is low chance to get into addiction through favouritism.

Not only favorite teams or players but also favorite game ( gambling ) . i agree on you that favoritism does not lead to addiction . i myself do have a favorite game , i love casino based games because i was once a casino player on our local place but that does not mean i am addicted with it because i can still balanced my schedule as im also a busy person . my life does not evolve only in playing a gambling.

What's your basis on which only 20% of gamblers with favorite games later lead to addiction? Nah, just kidding. I understand that it was just a mere estimation ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) . When it comes to sports betting, it applies somehow since your favorite team does not have a match all the time thus giving you a hindrance to have a betting addiction. But I think it was a different story when it comes to card games or other games. For example, if playing poker is your favorite, then tendency is that you will get addicted eventually because the casino is always open and just waiting for you. See? There are no restrictions at all which can prevent you to become an addict unless you're disciplined enough to control yourself.

if someone starts to like a game in gambling, and they come more than 2 times for the same game, it can be said to be an addict.

It depends. If they are spending too much of their time in their favorite games, we can tell that they are really addicted to that particular game. However, if someone plays his forvorite game for not so long, meaning he is aware that his time should be limited that particular game then we can't consider it as an addiction.

Like what I’ve always saw with the older players in the casinos who just want to play roulettes all the time. Its their favorite game and it makes them more addict passively. If we continue to play, everyday or every other day or what it can make us addict easlly. They tend to play only one game because they are already confident with it and already know what to do.

Yes, that is how things go on step by step. You might love to play and gamble for enjoyment in the start and with the passage of days, you would be a full addict to it. This happens when you do not know about the importance of your time. Even for enjoyment, you are paying an equal amount of money that you could really make if you had spent your time making money. So with a rational though, one cannot become an addict given wisdom is there. Then you can play your favorite game with love.

Yes since addiction can happen when you always gamble for whatever reason you have. The excitement on your favourite game will increase everyday and it will make you addict. Better not to like much any games on casinos or online to preven yourself from this addiction.

Being addicted is not fun anymore, you are just wasting your money and worst is your life.
Guess not, it's fun mate that's why people are getting addicted to any forms of games. They're having fun for they know it can give them what they want, but most of the times now, people whose addicted are just trying to get what they have lost in the first place. But still, I know it's fun even if you're already addicted on playing. Yes, its really fun but it is still really stressing me our when I am already losing half of my capital. LOL. But still, I want to play more because of the fun that's inside the game and the excitement of the outcome of the game.

Well, I do not think that is completely right. Of course you would always spend much of your time on the things you love most, the amount of time spent on the game is not what’s make it addiction it is the ability to control the time not to affect other things that makes it an addiction. For instance if I do not have anything else to do and I decide to spend all my day playing my favorite game and having fun, I don’t think I should be termed an addict to that game but a situation where I spend all day on that game at the expense of things that would better my life or just sacrifice more important things and I am not able to control myself to stop the game, that is when I should be termed an addict to the game.

What?! That was unreasonable (IMO). So for example, if there's a teenager who take illegal drugs for the first time due to curiosity and take again for the second time because of peer pressure but lately realized the bad effects of it on the 5th time which made him decide to stop it once and for all, is he still considered a drug addict? Of course not! It's the same with gambling, it was impossible for you to be called an "addict" just for playing/betting several times in your whole life, it was way more than that. One of the manifestations of being an addict is the uncontrollable desire to engage on such thing which means you feel the strong need of gambling over and over again up to extent that you already misbehave for the sake of fulfilling it.

But as long as you don't play continuously, spend all your time and money, and you can't stop, then you become an addict

The game he always win makes it his favorite bacause of the experience he had with it also. You can notice it that an addict gambler has only a one game biased because of this.

Both terms look quite the same but there’s a little difference. I would use myself for example, if there is a special game that I just like for certain reasons and I could spend so much time and even money I would call that my favorite game but when I can no longer control the pull, that even when am failing and the gaming is affecting every of my activities and yet I do not mind, that is when that particular game it becomes an addition.
The point here is one can actually be a gambler but not addicted. Just that ability to control, Knowing when to pull out, knowing when to stop but anyone who cannot not control even when they are not succeeding is already addicted and might probably be needing a little help. It is nothing wrong to have a favorite gambling game but it is a little bit wrong to become too addicted
