Are you a gambling addict?

This is to reply to your thread title
not at all, I gamble just for fun and I gamble when I only get a salary from the signature campaign that I am currently participating in. and if i lose and run out of money i will stop gambling not continue or chase losses like a gambling addict

Everyone likes to go to a casino here and then. But unfortunately, there are those who cannot visit a casino simply for pure leisure. Gambling can turn from a hobby or a leisure activity into a serious addiction problem. Many compare the rush of gambling to the euphory of cocaine, as it can also become an addition.

yes that's right. because a gambler who initially gambles just for fun turns into a gambling addict because they may chase defeat when gambling. so that unconsciously they will continue to gamble even though their financial situation is ruined

So, do you know if you have a problem with gambling?

for now I don't have any problem with gambling. because from the start I gambled using cold money. so that when I lose, I will never be emotional or depressed to always pursue that victory. because what I know is that an ordinary gambler turns into a gambling addict caused by uncontrolled emotions

Nope, I always consider every users are active on gambling boards are not an addicts because if they're addicts, they must quit to interact in gambling board and continue their rehabilitation. If they're keep discuss about gambling, there's a chance they will gamble and can't control themself.

I've know some gamblers that really loses that much in gambling but even if they can be considered addicted, they are still on their normal self.

It's normal if gambling make you to suffer losses, but the thing is does he can afford to lose? if he can, it doesn't considered as an addict. It's still a normal gambler but he just bet with bigger amount than average gamblers.

A social disease will infect gamblers who cannot control themselves, addiction will make it difficult for gamblers to control themselves and will continue to visit casinos to retrieve the money that has been spent while betting.
Need self-control when in the scope of the casino, spend what has been allocated, then leave with a sense of satisfaction because you have channeled hobbies that make you feel calmer after having fun there.

You call it a social disease, but I call it a parasite, eating deeply those gamblers that do not want to leave gambling, and making them to spend money un-necessary. When human is addicted to something, it would be very difficult for them to leave. The final hope of any gambler is that, he would win all his loss one day so with that hope he would be still gambling every day and night, sometimes he visits the site to see if he has won. And if he sees that the games were cut, he would still bet again, instead of going home with the small cash in hand to buy something for the family, he would used it to bet another games. That is an addicted gambler.

I'm lucky I'm not addicted to gambling anymore and see gambling as a way to have fun. I know the risks involved in playing gambling and can accept it well and if I lose, I consider it normal because, in gambling, there must be winners and losers.

But I see that many people still experience gambling addiction while they don't realize it and instead continue playing the next day. Gambling can indeed pull a person deeper because of the temptation to get big wins after playing several games, but they must remember that they need self-control so they don't become addicted.

Well no, I'm not at the moment, but I always keep in mind that you can't be too confident, because certain circumstances in life can make it easier for you to fall into addiction, be it gambling, alcohol or whatever. The fact that I currently use gambling moderately and responsibly is no guarantee that I will always continue to do so, that is why we cannot let our guard down, and in this forum we have seen threads of people who have been gambling for years and at one point lost considerably more than they had anticipated and could afford.

[Docnaster]

If gambling addiction means gambling more than your budget. If gambling addiction is borrowing to gamble even when  you clearly don't have the  money. If gambling addiction is feeling sick whenever you don't gamble and if gambling addiction means gambling all day long. Then I know that I am not a gambling addict.

[Pandu Geddon]

I'm sure almost all gamblers have an interest in wanting to continue playing on gambling sites for longer. The thought of being addicted to something that has become a hobby or daily life, I don't think is good.
how do we know the limits of a gambler who is already addicted to playing online gambling? we go to the casino to find fun with games. what goes wrong is when gamblers come to the casino to find or double their money. if they lose, of course, it creates pressure.

[Slow death]

luckily for me I don't have any addiction, for example about gambling I just bet a little money and I manage to stay a long time without playing or betting, that's a sign that I don't live dependent on gambling, I have total control of my finances, I don't create high expectations in games, I know it's very dangerous to play. for example my monthly bankroll does not exceed 20$ except when I manage to make a profit then the bankroll increases I withdraw leaving only 10$ to 20$ and when I lose all my bankroll I spend days without playing and then I put back 5$ to 10$ and I only play therefore. I do this so as not to harm my accounts with other things

I'm little into addiction, because I spend what I've kept aside for some prime need.

this is not a small addiction and to be honest this is a big problem, because let's imagine the following:

your family gives you 1 million dollars to keep because they want to buy a house

you only have 10$ to play, you will lose the 10$, then you will use the 1 million dollars to play and in your head you will be thinking that you can win and that later you will return it, but you will only be losing, until in the end of the day you lost all 1 million dollars and your family will hate you, and this is what they call the great consequence of gambling addiction, this is the most serious level of gambling addiction, be careful with gambling, maybe whether you stop playing

[jakelyson]

So, do you know if you have a problem with gambling?

Luckily for me, I do not have the signs of a gambling addict. I am still pretty much in control of myself in respect to my gambling habits.

I do not gamble too much and control the money that I used to gamble. If that money is gone, I stop. If I lose that day, I do not chase the wins.

I enjoy gambling and the excitement is incredible, but I can go for weeks without gambling if my schedule does not permit to play or gamble. I also do not go out of my way just to gamble or go into debt because of gambling.

Hopefully, it remains that way even though I gamble a lot lately.

If gambling addiction means gambling more than your budget. If gambling addiction is borrowing to gamble even when  you clearly don't have the  money. If gambling addiction is feeling sick whenever you don't gamble and if gambling addiction means gambling all day long. Then I know that I am not a gambling addict.

Some signs also include :

• Inability to cutback, stop or control gambling
• Gambling to escape problems or relieve feelings of helplessness, guilt, anxiety or depression
• Lying to family members or others to hide the extent of your gambling
• Risking or losing important relationships, a job, or school or work opportunities because of gambling
• Feeling restless or irritable when you try to cut down on gambling

The article is informative and can make you realize if you're already an addicted gambler. Well, there are people who can't control themselves when they gamble, started playing for leisure but then when they lost significant amount the eagerness to win it back is driving them to keep playing. I was once an addicted gambler few years back. Based on my experience, it's very hard to overcome the addiction especially if the temptation is pushing you to play again. That's why it takes courage and determination to overcome what you used to. Anyway, I still gamble but in moderation using a spare money.

Especially the new gamblers have to face some problem in gambling in the field who fail to control themselves. Some misconceptions make them addicted to gambling. Gambling is a center of entertainment if gambling is done here at Proper way. Now there are many online sites where it is very easy to gobble up without informing others. Everyone should keep gambling under control. It should not be overlooked as a source of income. Then we will be able to enjoy the real pleasure of gambling.

According to the article, here are the signs:

    Feeling the need to be secretive about gambling
    Having trouble controlling gambling habits
    Gambling when you cannot afford to
    Your friends and family express concern about your gambling

So if anyone see some symptoms already, it's about time to seek help, as there are no single reasons, it should be the combination of this.

I haven't experienced those in my past so maybe I'm not that addicted.

But everyone should be very very careful, gambling is really a disease that is hard to control.

Often problems with gambling addiction go unnoticed by the players themselves. Until a certain point, when it may already be too late and urgent action needs to be taken. There is a very thin line between hobby and addiction. In fact, any hobby that a person is very fond of turns into an obsession. Gambling is no exception, but the negative consequences are exacerbated by material losses and debts. I think that if it were not for monetary losses, then they didn't even pay attention to gambling addiction.

One of the signs of addiction was that he was already using money meant for other things, such as bills, and he would bet it, hoping to win and double the money, but he lost it all. Mostly, the mind of someone addicted to gambling is not thinking about losing their money; it is always thinking of a way to have money to bet on, whether they borrow money or sell the appliances in their homes. I agree that they often chase money and want to win big in a single bet.

Recurring gambling addiction is quite common to those who have recently experienced a winning streak but ended up losing most of it as this triggers excitement in the gambler
knowing that they have won and may continue winning if they try to gamble continuously. I've seen some people who have a good grasp and control over their gambling activities but end up getting addicted to it once again. If in any case, you have experience getting addicted to gambling or anything such as alcohol, drugs etc, and have lost control of themselves, it's better to call someone for help as it is not easy to stop it immediately.

First of all, things that are fun, will not be separated from our lives, including gambling. gambling has been discovered from ancient times, and developed in such a way from time to time. which was originally a traditional activity, until it developed rapidly into a gambling house. As you said, gambling can turn from a hobby or leisure activity into a serious addictive problem. many compare gambling addiction to the euphoria of cocaine, as it can also be an adjunct. I will say again what I said, things that are fun will never be separated from human life including everything that makes it addictive and not only tied to gambling activities. everything in excess, it is not good.

Currently, online casinos can be enjoyed by all groups without being bound by time and place. everyone can access it easily, when they want to carry out gambling activities. As I said before, excessive hobby can lead to serious addiction problems. I will also add that most gamblers, at first, will not realize that their hobby is too much. so without them knowing it, most of them have a tendency problem that leads to addiction.

I am a fairly active gambler, especially sports betting. but I can overcome, to sort out, and take responsibility with self-control.  although, sometimes there are times when I get carried away by excessive emotions.
IMO. the most important thing to remember is, something that is too much is not good, even if it is part of a hobby. I have good self-control and understanding, that being gambling is just part of the fun entertainment.

That is it, the worst part of it is when some addicts will have little amount of money to eat and to meet the daily needs and yet use misty of money to gamble and having a very imperfect life. I have seen this happened to a friend of mine before that even sold some of his property to gamble with the money and later filled with regrets as he still lost all.

[EarnOnVictor]

There is no justification that will truly sever the link between offline and online gambling, people are addicted irrespective of the two. So long they are accessible, you see people uncontrollably gambling, though online addiction should be more since they are easier to access.

And for the question of the OP, No, I am not addicted and I play online all the time due to the ease of accessibility. The secret of my not being addicted is that I am a trader, I prefer making money through trading rather than thinking I can make it through gambling. So, I only gamble for fun.

Addicted gamblers behave as if they have lost some parts of their reasoning. They do not think of losses and the effect of such lost in their life. They only think of how big they win and how they will spend their big winning. Even when you are giving them an advice at that particular time, it will fall on deaf ears. Addiction is a bad thing, it is not something you wish someone you love.
