signs of gambling addiction

[just_Alice]

Yes, that sounds like a pretty serious sign of addiction, if one can't sleep calmly and thinks of gambling instead. That is a pretty dangerous condition in terms of financial security because that obsession can lead a person to start gambling at night. The latter, obviously, is a bad idea since brain activity will be reduced and that person will make risky moves which he wouldn't normally do, and thus lose a lot of money.

Gamblers don't realize they are addicted to gambling until it's worse which they've done unthinkable already like breaking the piggybank of his kid just so he could gamble again. But you as a gambler can also notice it to yourself before you get to the worse situation like selling valuables like jewelry so you could play again.
 
Is seeking a new strategy or thinking of betting while you are sleeping signs of addiction? If not, what are little signs that unfold you are becoming a gambling addict?

Addiction towards gambling is quite obvious because addiction can happen to gamers as well.
We know many people were addicted PubG. Recently I heard that a teenage boy sold his mothers jewelry to purchase in-game items.
If a teenage boy can get so much addicted to a game a man can obviously get addicted to gambling which involves real money itself.

We do know that there are different addictions not only on gambling alone but also in other things in life as well.When you do already comes into a point on where you do
things like selling out something just for you to play then that would really called addiction on where you do force out things because you do really badly need to play.
You should be aware on that and honestly i had done the same thing too when i was young the same  on the situation you cad mentioned above which i had sold
the jewelry of my mother just because i was too addicted on playing pc games into those old years when i was still a teenager.

The more you think, the more you can’t sleep and if you’re in a serious situation, that might be a sign of gambling addiction. The obsession to play more and to continue gambling without self-control is next to gambling addiction, losing money will happen next until you become broke. This is an early stage of addiction though, so its good if you already know what’s wrong with you, you can seek for some help and prevent this possible addiction.

That boy needs serious help if he sells and steals his mothers jewelry.Its still an early age and can be handled but his parents need to act quickly if this happens many more times it can get serious and out of hand. But gambling addiction is everywhere and that is even worst

Yeah, this actually may often happen to addicted gamblers.
They will probably do everything they can to keep gambling, including committing criminal acts, starting from stealing from those closest to them, to other criminal acts. For example, committing robbery, theft anywhere, fraud, and also other criminal acts. This is if those who are addicted to gambling can't control themselves, they can't even take their money and try to get money in a good way for gambling. because all they have in mind might just play and play.
This is why these people really have to get help, to control themselves, to direct, and even get special treatment to overcome gambling addiction.

Having trouble to fall asleep is definitely one of the biggest signs that you are addicted.I have passed through it myself,there were times when I woke up at 2 AM just to go gamble at my neighbor 24 hour local casino.

I have completely recovered from those stages but can still tell you that those moments for me were magical as they made me feel really good while hoping to get the jackpot.I realized in time that even if I did win the jackpot I would lose it again there at the same place so this made me think and I started the recovery which now is complete.

Well, that's good for you that you were able to overcome that addiction.

Waking up at 2 AM just to gamble is what I haven't experienced but on the other hand, it's about how to manage bankroll and as long as you're holding some amounts.

It will push you to gamble and that's really a sign of addiction until everything is gone within your hands.

There are people just trying to make gambling they want to seek some joy or fun but some of them can't handle it anymore because they want to make more play with their gambling it gives different benefits to them like if they play gambling it relieves to their selves some of then just want to watch only.

I think I will consider a gambling addiction to a player if they keep playing every day and it becomes part of their hobbies of daily routine we cannot blame them but still having good risk management and mental stability is the best way

I think when people talk about gambling addiction, they first of all mean the negative side of this phenomenon. After all, if a person is dependent on something, but at the same time controls himself and this dependence does not harm him in any way, then no one will object to this. In fact, every person is addicted/fanatical about something - the whole question is how it affects his life.

Thinking a way to win is already a sign of addiction no matter what your excuses it always lead to the same road. People like this will need an immediate support of their close friends or family so it won't get worse in the long run. I know what it feels when you are earning something to your piggy bank but due to your addiction you break it in order to play gambling and that's not the worst part at all.

They strengthen their emotions to control their feelings towards addiction and of course, it's always about the mindset. So better change your mindset on the very first day if you are playing gambling so you won't hook up for too long that causes you to become addicted.

If you are doing the unthinkable like all you've mentioned then you are in danger of losing everything, your relationship, your mind your money, or even all you love, if you have a friend or loved ones who behave like this then it's time to do heart to heart talk and get him to talk to a professional and if you are suffering from all these signs, it's time to get back all your sanity by talking to your love ones and talk about your problems

Borrowing either from family or anyone outside to gamble is a no-no once you see that sign, you should know you getting addicted to gambling. Gambling is made for fun in a free time anything outside that is a wrong signal.

For addicted people to gambling, borrowing money will be their only way to have money and continue to gamble, which could be a sign for the addicted person. Maybe they will lie about what they will do with that money. We can admit that playing gambling is just for fun but we do not know that people out there use gambling to make money. They know about that, but they still playing gambling and finally, they become addicted to gambling.

So far some players wouldn't really think of borrowing money but they may in need of money actually that is why they gamble. I consider myself in need of money too but the only coins I bet are the ones I got from casinos tokens which I receive as dividends.

I can admit that I'm actually thinking of betting while I'm in bed. Do you guys think it's harder to get out of addiction if you own investments in a casino where you receive tokens?

If that is the case, maybe you can search for other ways to make money. I am sure you will find that way to not risk your money for playing gambling to make money. You can realize that when you play gambling, that does not give you or solve your money problem, but it could give you the other money problem.

Let's say you got the token as dividends. You need to prevent your mind from using that token to gamble because you see that you do not have a chance to win more money instead, you can get lost that money. In this matter, you need to have control for yourself so you do not use that token and let the token grows so in the future, you will have a chance to sell the token and get your profit. You need to stay away from playing gambling before it is too late to realize.

Not really it's when you are losing money and you cannot control what you are spending or allocating in gambling that's when gambling becomes a problem and addiction, that's when you need to seek a professional, your family will immediately notice it if you are hard to speak of and you complain of not having enough money.

That's why it is said that don't take gambling personally because if you slowly become addict your financial,social as well as mental health will be distributed forcing you to put at your all assests at stake just to place bet in hope of winning.The signs could be you can't handle the stress and keep on thinking about it regularly and desperately want to place bet on your favourite games ignoring the loss factor.You know that you can't afford to further bet but still keep on going for this and you loose everything in the dead end.Many gambling addicts have stories to share that how they turned from rich to rags in matter of time so you should learn from them.

There's really no exception regardless of age, gender, or education everyone can be addicted to gambling if they not properly guided, there's a saying experience is the best teacher but that doesn't have to be, you can motivate yourself not to become addicted even if you are just starting out, great control and being responsible on all our action, we need to stop for a while when we are getting hook.

Everyone who plays gambling has the potential to become addicted, if not a responsible gambler. One of the characteristics of a responsible gambler is
to be able to control emotions when gambling, so we can control ourselves to stop if we do experience a large enough loss. Because if we can't control
our emotions, we will continue to gamble until the capital we have runs out and this can lead to gambling addiction.

Set a bankroll, maximum expenses for gambling for every session, adjust it to whether you play daily, weekly, monthly, or even randomly. Just take into account how much you actually play, how much you earn and play around with it. Once you exceed your bankroll at any given time, no matter the situation or occasion, stop and get help. It's pretty much my way of telling myself that, oh damn, something's wrong, I'm playing way too much now, overboard of what I should be playing at kind of thing. Don't even add your winnings tbh, just the standard daily limit is enough.

This is a sign of any addiction, not just gambling. This can happen if a person is a shopaholic or is fond of tuning his car or racing a car (this requires a huge investment). Therefore, if we are talking about the unique signs of gambling addiction, then we must talk about the signs that are only here.

We are talking about an addict  . An addict won't do such that you have listed lol. Only a gambler in control can do that and not an addict.

Anyway, anything we do excessively and we lose control of ourselves makes us an addict to that which we do to the extent that it controls our being. It isn't easy to come out of addiction, some die from addiction , for example drugs especially musicians and known personalities.

Yes it can be an early signs. Cant get rid gambling in our minds and acting differently to follow the eagerness to gamble are an indications of becoming addicted.

I believe the gambler itself can notice if he is not just playing to have fun or to entertain himself. When I became addicted before, thinking of my losses and having debts to chase back what I lost are some of the worse that happened to me.  Im just thankful that I overcome that part of my life and I learned something.

Honestly, tell it on earlier basis would really be hard to be determined but you can actually find out if you do really have that strong self awareness on where you do notice that your actions is
already becoming on the same on the behavior on what gambling addict has.So if you do find out yourself that you are gradually being pulled off with addiction gradually then you should
really stop it completely and find another things that would distract you out on playing gambling too much. If you dont like for some future problems then better quit it
or else you would really be regretting on the end.

This is the beginning of gambling addiction because once a strategy is concieved the gambler would seek for funds by all means to test the newly discovered strategy and if it fails he might want to develop a new strategy to test run on a different game and gradually addictions begins to set in. Seeking a new strategy is actually the beginning of gambling addiction
