Are successful gamblers seen as addicts?

[Zigabel]

Gambling isn't just about failure. Here as many have failed and many have succeeded. Gamblers who succeed in managing gambling through their skills and knowledge cannot be called addicts. However, for some gamblers, gambling behaviour indicates addiction. Sports bettors can be successful in gambling if they manage their gambling according to their skill and strategy which we cannot call addictive. The point here is that not all successful gamblers are addicted and not all addicted gamblers are successful. Some times gambling plays a psychological role.

You are very correct with the fact that not all successful gamblers are addicted and not all addicts are successful, some may want to think that because you are successful gambling it's because you have been addicted and some also want to associate failure in gambling to addiction meanwhile these things are not in a particular order, it have almost different and unique effect on everyone as some may literary hey addicted and layer find success in their addiction meanwhile others may never succeed even in their addiction.

Managing your gambling habit through your skill and knowledge will really help you gamble responsibly and even stay profitable gambling because you become disciplined enough understanding how gambling work and may end up never getting addicted.

Yeah, of course every person is different, and it is almost impossible to tell if someone is being addicted to something by just watching them.

Addicts can hide their addiction very well, so maybe some people that you never would have suspected are super addicted and in red financially.

The thing is that as with everything in life, you need to have control over your demons, otherwise they will take over and take you to a very dark place.

We can't removed the fact that there are people who are good in hiding even they are already suffering from addiction they can still continue to smile at you and let you think that there's no wrong from what they are doing, though we can say that those who manage to accomplish something and manage to keep their finances in good stand we can't say that they are not addicted.

Good balance and proper way of dealing with their gambling participations, it's along the line where with wise and good judgements they manage not to fail and messed up with their finances.

No, we cannot ignore the fact that there are people who are really good at hiding their gambling addiction. They can say they are still okay and even do other activities just to show the people around them that they are still okay. However, if the people around him could see further, they would see that the gambler was experiencing a problem that he was hiding. The problem was starting to appear in his nervousness about hiding his gambling addiction problem. It's just that the people around him weren't sharp enough to see him, so they also thought that the gambler was still fine.

But those who are truly successful in gambling are very different from other gamblers because they don't talk about their success and hide behind their daily activities. They also don't experience gambling addiction, as we think, because they can use gambling well and don't fall deeper into gambling.

[Accardo]

When both entities, a responsible gambler and a non-gambler, stays in same apartment with an addicted gambler. The responsible gambler will figure out earlier than the non-gambler, that the person is addicted to gambling. From his activities and behavior, an experienced gambler can detect that it's addiction. However, if the person is not staying with the addicted gamble in same house, it'll be difficult to unveil the truth from him. Due to their pretense, when asked, that all is right and cool with them, to escape critics. The issue could be that the person can't conclude that a person is addicted to gambling, if he's not being told by the addicted person. But the experience gambling staying close to the gambler, will know that there is something wrong somewhere in the life of the gambler. Then he can engage in a serious conversation with the player. He could open to him, since there are both in the same niche. Humans tend to share genuine information with their cohorts because they engage in same activity.

It's obvious to a responsible gambler that addiction is erratic, desperate, and always wants "just one more bet". eing in the same activity doesn't give you the wisdom or right to intervene. Not just witnessing, but understanding. Addiction is the true issue. A plea for help, not a badge of honor. The responsible gambler has a duty. Not calling out, but reaching out. Saying "Hey, I've noticed this; let's talk about it." Support, not expose. Gambling healthily? Crossing that thin boundary hurts the individual and ripples out

No, support doesn't enable. Guidance, balance, and control. We're all in this together, but don't pretend we're playing similar games. Some are nearer the brink. Accepting that is the first step to responsible gambling

A responsible gambler will easily change a compulsive gambler, because they participate in similar activities, gambling. The conversation between these two is a strong factor in changing or relieving a compulsive gambler. The problem people face with compulsive gamblers is that they don't know the right words to use while conversing with them. As you said, support and guidance will help the gambler to escape gambling compulsively. Which when in a situation where his therapist knows nothing about gambling, the healing process will be as slow as a snail. When we understand their troubles, and talk to them about it, that alone, will change the thoughts of the addicted person, to accept he's doing something wrong. Because someone who is also a gambler is letting him know that he'd have to adjust his gambling lifestyle.

Depends into someones personality and mindset on which we know that not all people would really be that similar on how they do think and how they do see on a particular thing on which actions
and personal views would really be that different. In the case that you do reach into a point that you are already that becoming professional then it cant be denied that it did really comes into a point that you have been an addict ones with gambling. It did really just turn out that you do able to recover and made out those realizations on which you did make out adjustments then you have
been able to make yourself that having a right way on dealing up with gambling but of course its not really that simple on dealing up with this kind of problem on which you would be
always having those tough situations on which not all would really be able to get out.

On the journey to professional gambling, the player must have gone through thicks and thins in the industry. Which will make him more informed and cautious about gambling and ways of dealing with addiction. Even if he, the gambler, has never been addicted, with the experience in his palms he'd be able to help an addicted person in his midst. Take ourselves for instance, we are not addicts, but from the information and research we've garnered about gambling addiction, we won't be mute on speaking to an addict about his addictions. It's a difficult task indeed, and takes up the time of the professional, but given time he'd be happy for rendering out help to the addicted fellow or friend. However, it depends on the attitude of the gambler, as you said, not everyone would be cured on this basis. But it's more like a first aid to the addicted gambler, not to go pass his normal level of addiction to a more serious and severe stage. If he proves too persistent about staying glued to gambling, he could be referred to a therapist, to handle the trouble.

Yeah, that's all good.

It means that every person has 100% responsibility of their actions, and I think that is quite OK.

Most people should be OK with that.

Basically, success in the gambling industry can only be achieved by those who have business in this industry, real success is for those who build and own gambling sites.
Although there are indeed gamblers who can be successful from playing, these are professional gamblers who have become experts in the field of card games, they take part in various world poker competitions or championships.
But the percentage of such people is very small and I sure there are not 10% of the many gamblers there are, and of course they also have lot of experience and may have spent lot of money.

Success from gambling for most of the gamblers out there I would say is impossible because they gamble not with skill or experience but they gamble only based on endless ambition.
It is not success that will be achieved but rather problem related to gambling addiction, this is statement that is actually happening.

But some people have the assumption that they can change lives and I laugh at statements like this.

Yeah, at the end of the day it is just plain luck.

If you have 100 gamblers, a few of them will win a few times consecutively. That's just how probabilities work.

But our minds are not great for dealing with probabilities so we think that those lucky ones must know something.

Our brains are constantly trying to come up with explanations to what we perceive, even if it is wrong.

It's important to understand this.

yes, even a monkey could win 100 times on heads and tails, it'd look like a miracle but it's just an event of really low probability
of course this changes completely if we're talking about skill games like poker or other ones where you have more control of the outcomes by preparation and luck can help you or not.
it depends.

but now many skill games on casinos anyways, right?

I say something, when we control ourselves and do what we must do at the right moment we have to be aware of what we can do what is in our hands well so that we can be aware that things are different, for example, when we We are in the casino, we can allocate our money willing to lose, yes, it is something that is law, yes, we want to be addicted and we want to be successful. That is the first step, because the second step is to know the game well and try of not losing anything and that is where experience comes in and everything we can apply so that we are successful, the rest things can be affected if we do them wrong or if we do not follow those first steps, when we have mastered that, what we should do It is that the money you are willing to lose, it is not that we lose it all at once, no, we have to make that money pay off, that is the first thing we must do.

After doing and achieving this, it is up to us how to do so that we can be successful, but how? I win and the only thing we have to do is win at the casinos, I don't know about the rest anymore, for me success will always translate into doing things well, for example, if we allocate 30 USD, we must do something per day 4 or 5 dollars, and do that every day, because only by accumulating it is how we can be successful, now if we are people who have a lot to spend, a lot to be willing to have good performance, well things are like that, there is no way Things can turn out badly, if we have a lot of money, then we have to earn a lot more money, but win, not just settle for losing, if we lose then the strategies or our vision of the game is wrong, it is not the correct one, we should do it Things are different so you don't keep falling into the tone of mistakes , success in a casino will always be about making money.

When we can control ourselves well and realize what we must do, we can realize that we have avoided unnecessary problems. When we have allocated a certain amount of money for gambling at an offline or online casino and end up losing, we will not want to continue because we are worried that we will become addicted to gambling. After all, gambling addiction can come at any time. And maybe that's what successful gamblers will do when playing gambling because they already have a lot of valuable experience, so they can understand the situation and act according to it. Everyone who gambles wants to achieve success from gambling, but unfortunately, most people will only fail halfway without being able to continue, and many of them even experience gambling addiction. This must be stopped, and it doesn't need to happen to us because we already have self-control, which we continuously train to improve. We also won't be influenced by anything that comes to us, including if there is an offer that looks attractive. We will just respond as usual and leave the casino because we've had enough gambling.

Getting success from gambling is difficult, very difficult, and not many people can do it and get it. We don't know what people who are successful at gambling do because they don't want to share their secrets with others and only say that we only need to gamble with enough money and always be able to control ourselves well. I think the method you gave might work, but that is if we have good self-control because we know that in gambling, many temptations will come, so we have to be able to anticipate them well and not be tempted by anything. We also don't need to use a lot of money to gamble because that will only make us fall into the temptation of gambling, so we will experience a loss of self-control. That will only make us experience defeat after defeat that we might never have imagined. We can only take good care of ourselves by always controlling ourselves, and if we can control ourselves well, we will become successful people in gambling.

Yes, in fact I like the way you think, because we have to tell ourselves at all times that we must control ourselves, that there is nothing left to do, that we always need to do things as they should be, then if I see that things are focused on the lack of control , in my case , if I see that I am like this, I stop, I immediately tell myself that I still can't control myself, that I will hurt myself by losing money, and unfortunately the money that I use to solve many things in my life, I can't afford to of losing it, that is what I must first see, you cannot do any type of thing that makes us lose the direction of our life, in fact one of the reasons that addicts when they are playing is that they do not give importance to things What can Happen to them, it's not easy , because they will Always be focused on other things, an addict sometimes doesn't care about losing a lot of money, but what matters is that they think they are going to play and win, but what they Achieve is losing and doing things very badly, that's just what I do Well.

For us, I think things are good , because we have to control ourselves with money, in fact many times I have expressed what I have said in the forum and I think that the things in the forum are that many people have addiction problems, so here in the forum this is It is interesting because I know that there are people who remain anonymous so as not to know that they suffer from this, and since they read and can receive the advice that is given, so I am always going to focus on helping with my word, so be it. In general terms because I know that if we just say a few words in time, that can turn into saving a life, and that there is no Greater satisfaction from doing it , I don't Know , but sometimes it feels very good when you help people in some way , and that in the end is what is worth it in reality, because that is what I have always said, if someone had a lot of money, I think it would help Everyone possible , it is the best thing that can be Done.

Skilled games like poker are expensive for a casino to run. You need to pay a person, the space, etc.

A slot machine on the other hand is automated, so no staff, and it can run 24/7 in a small space.

It makes way more sense for a casino to have mostly those.

Still they need to have games like poker otherwise many people wouldn't even bother going in.

interesting to hear
yes, if it's only about cutting costs all casinos would've gone full online at this point since you have no costs to rent space and hire people the general company costs must go down a lot and you have to worry with different things to run your operations like protecting yourself from online attacks and making sure all engines are running keeping your edge, owners of physical places still have to take care of their edge and all but costs are probably much higher considering the place and the people working on it.

We really have to be able to control ourselves well so that we don't lose a lot of money because gambling will give them temptations that can make them forget their goal of gambling. I also always try to limit the use of money when gambling because I don't think I'm the only one who has experienced losing a lot of money from gambling, so that makes me more careful when gambling. I have had enough experience where I have used a lot of money to gamble, resulting in losing a lot of money. But these are all very meaningful experiences for me where I can change myself always to try to stay within reasonable limits when playing gambling, and I always try to apply that when I am gambling. We shouldn't focus too much on gambling because that can make us careless in limiting our money, but what we need to do is always pay attention to the remaining balance in our gambling account and be able to stop gambling when we have had enough immediately. We still have another day to go back to gambling, so we don't need to spend a lot of money that day.

If we can control ourselves and always limit the use of money, we will get the benefits where we can use gambling properly and also won't spend too much money. We still have daily needs that we have to fulfill, so we should not use most of our money for gambling because that could disrupt our finances, making us unable to meet our daily needs. We always get lots of suggestions from this forum so that we can use gambling as entertainment because many of us already have a lot of experience, which they often share, so we can learn together to gamble responsibly. From this forum, we also get instructions on how to use gambling as entertainment so that we only gamble in our free time and don't use it as a source of income. If we can follow the advice and instructions from the members here regarding gambling, we can control our spending on gambling and can also use gambling well and prevent problems that could arise later.

It would really be offering different types on which we know that not all people would really be just focusing into a single game on which we know that in a business, having varieties or lots of types would really be that an advantage on which it would really be able to cater different gamblers with different interest and this is why the more the better on which they could be able to cope up with the demand on which it does shows that competition would really be that so high into this industry.

It's just that the people around him weren't sharp enough to see him, so they also thought that the gambler was still fine.

But those who are truly successful in gambling are very different from other gamblers because they don't talk about their success and hide behind their daily activities. They also don't experience gambling addiction, as we think, because they can use gambling well and don't fall deeper into gambling.

They have that ability to divert their winnings to another venue of business where they can accumulate additional sources of income, people who are wise and very knowledgeable about how gambling works and what are the risk that they can face whenever they are playing. They know that,in anyhow, gambling can ruin their finances.

The point of being successful is when you have full control with how you manage your gambling and your finances.

[wendty]

You don't have to be an addicted gambler before you can be successful in gambling, this is not by how hard we try to gamble that makes us successful, it's by how skillful we appear to be together with the luck involved in each gambling attempts we made whenever we are on casinos, to be a successful gambler, you don't have to be an addicted one, you only needed to have the same mindset as others have being successful in what they do while gambling together, this is more of how prepared we are in gambling and how knowledgeable we appear in what we do when gambling and not by addiction, gambling addiction will only make success more far from you than imagined.

In fact, those who are addicted will find it difficult to be successful in their gambling. This is related to the financial management of addicted gamblers. it will only shackle gamblers to continue depositing money and not be able to enjoy winnings.
Maybe some gamblers go through a difficult process first before finally being able to enjoy gambling. but it's better not to go through a difficult process like addiction. because there are people who can get through that process, and there are also people who can't get through that process. and ultimately addicted gamblers will not get any success.

I think you are spot on.

It's just the illusion of getting closer to becoming rich. The only people making money (other than a few lucky ones) are the casino operators.

Those are the ones that actually make the big bucks. And that makes sense really, because they are providing a lot of value to a lot of people.

They sell the illusion of being rich, which is quite a common thing to want.

If they can divert their winnings to another place of business or build a business, they are wise people who can use their winnings to create a source of income that can provide income for them. They don't need to rely on gambling to make money because they understand that it is a difficult thing to do and they also can't always win, let alone win a lot of money. They have the opportunity to make money from their business and if they can grow their business even bigger, their income will also be bigger.

They successfully use a lot of winning money and do not use their winnings to satisfy their lust by buying unnecessary things. They can be proud to say they can put their winnings to good use.

But that's the thing, the most common outcome is to generate less money than what they put in.

So, in this case, it would make more sense to not gamble and to invest the whole amount instead.

Otherwise the "winnings" will simply buy less investments.

Gamblers will find it difficult to make money from gambling games and will experience more losses that can waste all their money. If they don't realize this, they will slowly return to gambling. They will not realize that the seeds of gambling addiction have begun to grow well in them because their return to gambling more often than before actually makes them become gamblers who are addicted to gambling. They will only experience loss and even run out of money and become addicted to gambling. This is what has happened to many gamblers, but they also don't realize this, so they fall deeper and deeper into gambling without being able to get out.

I would guess that we can find two different styles of gamblers
those who focus only in one kind of game let's say dice or card games or sports betting
and those who have a varied number of games they like and end up sticking to different ones.

probably not easy to become a professional gambler.
