It's a natural assumption to think successful gambling is as good as gambling more hence the addiction, but I think being a successful gambler can mean anything, it could mean gambling less and being profitable in it or its simply your profession and you know the art of making the money 💸 💰.
Besides successful gamblers can not fall into this bracket of addicted because they know the ins and outs of this industry which includes not over gambling..
I highly doubt successful people in gambling are seen as addicts. They’re successful due to the fact that they’re not addicts. The successful individual may be intense in his gaming and could play regularly but that doesn’t necessarily make him an addict.
I personally think an addict in gambling can not just become successful at it and I don’t think anyone would look up to a successful gambler and think the person to be an addict.
that's an interesting way to look at it
because we usually connect addiction with lack of control and unclear thoughts, so a person who's addicted wouldn't have the necessary discipline to be sucessful
could be, it's a bit hard with some things when we starting walking the roads of subjectivity.
