Have you ever been a gambling addict?

[rodskee]

Just recently, I gambled away all of my winnings from contests, raffles, Bitcoin price predictions and even my earnings from signature campaigns. The reason I became addicted to gambling is that one of the casinos where I gambled showed me how it feels to experience being a winner. And then end up all my winnings .You know the dopamine rush you get from winning in gambling.

is that the beginners luck mate? or just one day they made you a lucky person that is why you have addicted for a chance
of experiencing same feeling once again,I believe that almost everyone of us have tasted that but others knows that it is just a trick and trap
of gambling site so they did not fall on that.

A couple of years ago I gamble every single day but that was fair and I think it cannot be called as an addiction as I have limits on how much I am willing to donate or lose a week since it is is a lottery. You can be an addict if you cannot control yourself with gambling.

that is a best to say , even you gamble each day at least you know how much you are risking and to be able losing per
gamble , attitude that will never bring you to addiction instead will keep you enjoying the game.

I have never spent much money on gambling a person who cannot control himself in gambling becomes addicted. But you have lost all your savings but if you are able to control yourself you are far away from gambling addiction. Many families today are plagued with social problems such as broken relationships due to gambling economic crisis like sitting on the road due to bankruptcy falling into debt selling property, selling decorative furniture is also happening due to gambling addiction. You are in a much better position to understand your mistakes and prepare yourself by analyzing the harmful effects-symptoms or reasons behind this habit.

I see a lot of people here talking about gambling responsibly. Yes, that is something very true, but have you ever been a gambling addict?

Actually one of the things I make sure to prevent at all times is letting anything I do to take better part of me or allowing myself to get so much attached to something that I cannot longer have control of myself over it, so for someone becoming a gambling adict is totally depends on the individual on how they become so attached that all they think of is just gambling.

Perhaps in as much as there are responsible gamblers, there are also gambling adict, so for me I can never be a gambling adict because I only gamble when I feel I have a spare money that's of no much use to me at the moment so I will use it to gamble and even if I lose it, it doesn't affect me because the money is very small, but sometimes what I normally do is to draw out strategy of mapping out a little money I will only be using ones in a week and never to gamble beyond that amount if I lose the money, so with this method I can never become an adict on gambling.

To be honest in the past I have spent a lot of money gambling. What I mean here is that I spent all my savings on gambling. Maybe the nominal amount is not that big but it makes me feel like a gambling addict. I spent 5 months of my savings on gambling. Currently I am aware and am in the stage of improving my own financial condition. Have you ever felt like a gambling addict? and how much did you lose in gambling?

I can't say whether I am addicted to gambling or not but I like to gamble but when I lose gambling I think I will never gamble again. But later I went to gamble again. Although I don't gamble the next day, but after a long break, I am excited to gamble again. But I always gamble for fun but never know when it becomes addiction. I am not a deep gambling addict but it is true that I have lost a lot of money through gambling

I see a lot of people here talking about gambling responsibly. Yes, that is something very true, but have you ever been a gambling addict?

For now, no, I haven't reached the level of addiction in any of my gambling activities, even though I often gamble, but that doesn't make me have to do things that are considered crazy or beyond the common sense of the human mind, for now I can still control myself as far as the money I use in gambling.

I always think, if I have entered the world of gambling, I don't want to be controlled by gambling, I have to be able to control gambling, that way I won't be controlled by addiction, the same as smoking, If you want to do anything addicted, if you don't have the money to buy it, you have to have cigarettes, but if you can control all of that, automatically gambling is OK and not gambling is also OK, no problem, let alone acting stupid.

Those who are addicted to gambling sometimes don't realize this because they have spent a lot of their money gambling, but if you see that gambling is just for fun, I don't think you will ever experience a gambling addiction because you can control yourself not to. gambling and if you lose in the bet you play, of course you will be able to easily not take your other money to continue the gambling you are playing so that you experience defeat in the game you are playing.

Yes, a gambling addict never realizes that he is addicted.  I've been addicted to playing blackjack for quite some time now I feel like maybe I can make a profit when I go there and make a profit but sometimes I lose but I can't quit the game.  This is called addiction.  I can guess myself that I am slowly getting into a deep addiction there so now I am trying to control myself and quit playing blackjack. Gambling gives us pleasure but also causes a lot of financial loss and hinders our normal life. So it is very difficult to always avoid such a terrible habit as gambling, but we should avoid it as much as possible.

I have never been a gambling addict or had an addiction to anything so I don't have a clue how the experience might be but from the narratives of those that have falling victim of addiction particularly gambling I can say it's not a beautiful but a scary experience probably something I'll never wish my enemy.

However, it is a condition that can ruin the life of a man if not checked and given urgent attention by those close like friends and family members, and on the part of the addict he/she has to recognition his addictive tendencies and accept the reality of your condition which is the first step to finding solution to overcome the addiction.

[Blitzboy]

No, I've never been hooked on gambling. I learned how to control myself when I was young (thanks to Dad). Your moving story shows how hard it is to go from gambling without limits to desperately needing to get your finances back on track. The picture you painted is painfully familiar—savings gone and the question of addiction always hanging over head.

You are changing from someone who is almost addicted to someone who is consciously trying to get ahead financially. This is both a brave and important change. It brings up an old question: How deep does one have to go into loss before they can come up for air? Your determination to fix your financial position is not only a personal victory, but also a light for many others who are going through the same thing.

I tried to gamble a couple of times through online casino site and it's kinda addicting especially if you have a solo budget in playing and you really want to hit the jackpot prize. Hence, I don't call myself an addict because i know what i am supposed to do and I know my self limitations. Also, as a someone who has a genetic blood of a gambler, I wan't to make an action so i can prevent myself to become just like some of my relatives who are still addictively playing a casino gambling and card game. So, much better to know how to control yourself in all aspects in gambling.

I think you chose gambling as a pastime because when you lose your money gambling you stop gambling for a few days. If you were totally addicted to gambling you would immediately gamble to get back your lost money.  But I will tell you that the way you gamble now is fine for you. But the less you gamble the better it will be for us. I too have lost a lot of money gambling and now I am thinking of gambling very little for a few months.

[Sanugarid]

In my case, I have never experienced being addicted to gambling, yes, I enjoy gambling, but I have never reached the point where I run out of money or go into debt just because of gambling. The only thing I do is that I don't gamble every day, if I do gamble I will only allocate a little money for it. I also don't think about winning a lot of money in gambling. If you win, it's luck. If you lose, it's okay as long as you enjoy it.

No, not everyone that can be a gambling addicts for any reason except when we are unable to manage ourselves the appropriate way expected of an average gambler, but also we can assumed that some of us would have been indirectly into gambling addiction by the way we gamble when we are not applying warning to the extent of how we gamble responsibly, or when we got easily moved by our emotions while gambling, but this may not actually be our regular actions, but what we do occasionally that we don't count as being under the influence of addiction.

[Cookdata]

I see a lot of people here talking about gambling responsibly. Yes, that is something very true, but have you ever been a gambling addict?

The question should be have u feel you are gambling addicted? I don't think it's that easy to know that you are gambling addicted except if you are in that stage that you begin to feel remorseful of your loss and guilt of the bad decisions you made when playing. The only solution to even know that is to check your records if you have been doing well or you have only been greasing the casino with your money.

Sorry, it does happen because everyday in gambling isn't father Christmas days. You should have taken some break or don't you think it's really bad practice of you to waste 5 month savings into gambling. As you said, the amount could be small in others eyes but if you could use 5 month to save up such an amount, then only you know how important it is to you but then you wasted everything on gambling.

Unlike trading that you need to look at indicators and other technical analysis before making trade, you need skills to survive gambling and luck but since both are risk, the next thing you should always put on guide is risk management, you might not like it but trust me, it helpful in gambling addiction.

Addiction has negative impacts that are not good if we experience it. Big and small, my friends and I who are involved in gambling games have experienced it.
Spending 5 months of savings on gambling for gamblers who are still actively playing until now is not much because we have to admit that they have already spent some of their assets on gambling.
I'm the type of gambler who doesn't spend a lot of savings on gambling, but I can't count how much money I've spent.

You should have created a poll for this so we'll know how many of us here will vote that they are, I was an addict for the early part or days of my gambling days I was so excited back then especially since I always have a fair chance sometimes winning but most of the time losing, you know that you're addicted when you only count your winning and disregard the losses.

And you're always excited to go back to the platform even after you call it a day or log out your mind wants to go back again and think of the best strategy to employ next you're on the platform.

I'm just glad that I overcame this phase of my gambling days, it was a struggle back then to fight the addiction.

Anyone who spends a relatively long period of time gambling and has lost money that he was afraid of losing will feel the same as a gambling addict, with the difference that he has a greater possibility of succeeding in stopping the loss and restoring his life as an amateur gambler and not on the verge of addiction.
It is not the succession of losses that makes a person feel like a gambling addict. There is a complete psychological state that a person goes through that affects all aspects of his life, including relationships and work engagements, and this is the worst of it.

Yes and when you try to gamble longer like what has happened to addicts then I think it's the same as making your own chances to enter the addiction zone, that's the first symptom that other gamblers always do before entering the addiction, and it's true that maybe their chances of entering the addiction are not too great, but I'm not saying that it's impossible, because obviously if they always play for a long time then of course over time they will definitely become one of the addicted people and join the others.

Yes, maybe it's nothing more than just their feelings due to the number of defeats that always dominate, but I also can't say that those who experience a large number of defeats are not gambling addicts, because obviously the addicts are also like that. What makes them end up losing a lot? Well, it's because their expectations about winning are very high and it's exactly the same as experienced by gambling addicts who are always busy chasing victory, even though there is no guarantee so the number of defeats cannot be controlled.

[Hewlet]

I gamble but I made a decision never to gamble above a particular amount at a time. No matter how certain I am of the outcome I try to guide myself about the maximum amount of money I will put into it.

I had a friend in college that got seriously adicted that he spent all his school fees on a game that did not play out as planned. He went through a whole bunch of problem trying to come out of that situation and now he has learnt his lesson and doesn't put much money into gambling.

If we are wise enough to gamble the right way, we won't be talking about addiction that much.

[retreat]

Luckily, from the start of my gambling until now I am not addicted to gambling and can still control my emotions when playing. I don't know why there are people who become addicted to gambling, because I don't feel that gambling activities can make me addicted. Yes, there were times when I felt like I wanted to continue playing and tended to be aggressive, but a few moments later I realized this and didn't continue playing anymore.
