Can people still get the addictive nature through friendly games

[retreat]

I've personally seen people act that way, so just curious, Does the guy in question have a competitive nature because he sounds like he is competitive and hates losing?
-snip-

Most likely he has a competitive nature and high self-esteem which makes his ego unable to be defeated by other people. Because this defeat triggered his character to be able to take his friendly gambling to a more serious stage which in the end made him lose a lot. There are many types of people like this and to be honest, I personally don't like people like that, because they are too serious and take everything into their hearts.

I completely agree with your perspective. Playing games in a casual, friendly setting really strips away the high pressure elements. I think it's more about enjoying the time together the absence of serious consequences in friendly games keeps it all in good fun.

Playing games in a relaxed atmosphere usually doesn't matter about winning or losing because a person or group of people is enjoying their holiday or spending their free time with their friends. I sometimes do things like that, although not too often because I'm hampered by my own personal busyness, but things like that are quite fun, especially if our friends have the same frequency in playing the game regardless of winning or losing.

And I don't think it's a bad thing to spend time with your family especially if it creates a special bond with other members. You are just playin to really have time to each other. Hopefully this kind of game won't turn slowly to game for money. Because only then the atmosphere will change. You no longer play to enjoy but to win over other people.

I think it's not about the frequency of playing as long as you are not neglecting other areas of your life. It is also about the intention why everyone is playin. Are they playing to enjoy time with family or to make money?

Yes, anything that makes your brain secrete that happy chemical will lead you to get addicted or obsessed on something, that's why drug addicts do it, they get so happy and their brain is spiking in terms of that happy chemical and when they get down, their need for it gets so dire that they have to do it again and again until the size of their addiction to satisfy what happy chemical their brain is craving is so colossal that it's difficult to cure or rehabilitate the habit and the way out of it gets narrower by the day. Remember the old adage, anything in excess will almost always lead you to problems, excess money? More problems with taxes and fake people in your life, excess lovers and you'd never find the happiness you're looking for when it comes to finding a companion.

You're partially right but human brain is more complex than it seems.
If we were so easily addicted to everything that brought us pleasure, many of us would struggle with numerous addictions However, addiction often stems from deeper psychological issues, potentially including deficiencies in their early development.
Despite this, the majority of people are conscious of their habits and can control them without causing harm.
And this true, anything in excess will almost always lead you to problems

Someone who isn't a regular and aggressive gambler cannot do something like that. If I'm not a regular gambler, and I barely make a bet or two, and if I'm invited to a get-together where we have to play friendly and non-gambling games, I wouldn't do anything like that because I wouldn't have that thing in me that would keep tickling me to become aggressive and start making arguments and take everything very seriously and make the environment tense.

What he did shows that he is either already a gambler or he has a very aggressive nature because you will also find people who are naturally aggressive to do things like that no matter what they are doing, they get serious in almost everything they do even if it is a friendly game being played among friends.

I agree with your observation. This can reveal deeper personality traits, as some people naturally tend to take any activity seriously, potentially impacting the mood of a friendly meeting.

Good day friends


Yes the topic name somehow portrays what am about to explain although for a female gender and plus the current society where am staying this kind of habit is somehow strange but I guess most persons must have witnessed it.

So the other day me and my friends both male and female were involved in some house old friendly games like food competition, card game, thumb wrestling and so many more and take to note, all these activities were done just for old times sake and meet between old friends at my place as it included both my husband and his friends but I witness something rather uncalled for.

So I noticed that there were this particular group of guys who really went all out with the friendly and even getting to the extent of making serious argument and almost taking it to the next level for games that were just played for fun purpose and nothing more, it got so worse that the whole atmosphere changed and he instigated that they added some monetary value to the game that he is certain that he isn't going to lose easily and to cut the long story short it went on and on till he barely had much left with him anymore and I had to call the whole thing off and even asked that he money was given back to him but his pride and Shame couldn't allow him to take it back.


So am just curious to know if these little games are the one's that got to him or already developed such habit and to know if possible that the practice will continue elsewhere after leaving there when he lost the money and to look for means through gambling to recover it.

Yeah a lot times people can still get that addictive nature when having friendly games and a lot of things can compel someone to show off their real self in just minutes,I said this because I witnessed it in a party that I attended,we were all playing different games for fun and  money was placed for who wins and an expensive drink to follow suit for the winner,it goes on and on and there was this guy who losses and have never won anything, observing how everything is unfolding he stood up that the game is partial and that we're all using his head,he scattered the party and some other guys got angry too and that was how fight started and the party was off.

So a lot times most people can't hold such habits within them for long, imagine loosing and looking for chances to eliminate the source that makes other win is devastating and big time addictive nature.

One thing about gambling once any form of gambling is attempted their is possibility that it will still happen again, it may not be habit that will be happening constantly as if one is addicted. How this person' see's the game will determine if the person will get addicted to it or not. What makes people to become addicted is the interest they put in the game which money can be generated by playing. If you play gamble for fun and not having so much interest in the money that can be made from gambling.

Playing gamble with friends won't really make one to become addicted, instead it is the mindset towards gambling that makes people to become addicted,  that is why when you see a gambler he is inquisitive of grabing money from gambling and even to recover money lost while playing gambling.

Gambling addiction doesn't come from this kind of children play. But a committed online or offline casinos with betting and continues skill games like slot and others. Friendly games are for pleasure and leisure time. And for one to be addicted he has to be committed to on the game he lose most and chase his lose at all means to win his loss back then with a short period of time he will become the latest gambling addict in the industry.
If you want to know if someone can be addicted to gambling then let the person face real gambling games and not playing cards games with friends. But playing with friends is the beginning or road to the real life games.

Im with you. Friendly games really do leisure and pleasure. That said, observing someone's behavior in these games can indeed provide insights into their potential gambling habits. For example, when playing cards at home, does a person tend to play recklessly or are they more cautious? These behaviors can be quite telling about how they might handle the more serious aspects of gambling.

Addiction is very natural. Being friendly usually means learning everything from a friend. When this free time turns into an addiction to bet on a friend, it is difficult to control oneself no matter how careful you are. Gambling is a type of game when play becomes more than just the joy of play when the game sinks in. A person should learn to control his own behavior then he will never become reckless.

You make a great point about the nature of addiction. And I agree with it. But also it's worth noting that addiction doesn't typically develop from a single game. It usually develops gradually making it crucial to recognize early warning signs.  Perhaps, friends and family can make a big difference in addressing these signs early and positively. It's all about caring for each other and enjoying activities responsibly.

I completely agree with your perspective. Playing games in a casual, friendly setting really strips away the high pressure elements. I think it's more about enjoying the time together the absence of serious consequences in friendly games keeps it all in good fun.

Absolutely, it’s really about balance and the reasons behind why we play. Playing for fun and family time is so much more rewarding than just focusing on winnings.

Can people still get the addictive nature through friendly games

It depends, as far as I know someone who already has an addictive nature, just as they are addicted, whether it's to drugs, gambling or other things, most of those who have an addictive nature don't care what friendship is, they keep making small or big gambling bets, it is very likely that they will do the same thing outside, not only at your place, other places also behave the same way, they can't if they don't carry out gambling activities, they have to do it every day.

So am just curious to know if these little games are the one's that got to him or already developed such habit and to know if possible that the practice will continue elsewhere after leaving there when he lost the money and to look for means through gambling to recover it.

Yes, they will continue gambling, they can't stop.

Addiction is a cultivated behavior that grows as the person keeps engaging in the action or activity. People become addicted to alcohol by taking a sip from a friend's glass and from that level they graduate to taking some bottles of beer or wine. Gambling can start with any kind of sport or activity. Some of my friends went into gambling from friendly competition like who wins a car race in video games to who wins a football match. When monetary benefits are added to some entertainment activities between friends and it could lead to gambling addiction if it becomes a steady adventure.

I guess this is the most enjoyable part of gambling when you visit a physical casino with your friends and enjoy the time. Even if you do excessive gambling on that occasion it is bearable because you do not gather with your friends often and at that time those friends can relax and gamble more than they would usually gamble, if they were not together. In such times, if you lose a bit more or gamble like addcitive gambler, it is no harm because we know that this time does not repeat often.

I sometimes do such activities and it is the most memorable time of my life, spent with friends and gambling at the same time. The fun usually become double when people won in such times and then the friends can move out of casino with money in hand and enjoy a lunch or dinner together with the winning amount.

[AliMan]

That depends on a person who get together with companions, you won't get addicted if self control is with you all the time. When there's fun with betting games it can be casino house or any form of gambling. Don't rush with gambling to win, because it's more stressful to think when losing streak might happen.
It's not always productive when gambling, you'll eventually chase winning that's why most often time a person went into addiction.

[Marykeller]

It is always a rare case for us to think of engaging in gambling with our friends with money and expect not to have disagreements before the end of our gambling involvements with them.

Gambling for fun without money with our friends can be enjoyable and sweet but once money is involved, friends turn out to be mean and there's another level of seriousness that comes with it because nobody would love to lose their money happily to the other without feeling somehow bad.

It is best to gamble with friends ordinarily for the fun of gambling not by staking money because once money is staked, it can cause misunderstanding between friends and we will regret engaging in gambling with them in the first place.

[seoincorporation]

Yes, they can become addicted to a game, but there is no problem if money is not involved, they will not hurt anyone if they are not risking big on each game, for example, someone who be comes addicted to playing chess, that addiction will develop some nice brain skills on that guy, so, it wasn't something bad at all. The problem is when the addiction makes you lose something, like your health or your money, there is where you realize that you have a problem. But if you play games just for fun to relax, then there is no problem at all with it.

[OgNasty]

If there’s one thing I’m certain of in life, it’s that people can get addicted to anything and it doesn’t have to have money involved. You see hoarders addicted to stacking nonsense in their house, people addicted to video games, music, movies, even working out or heaven forbid masturbating. I’m not sure what gives certain people such addictive personalities, but just hope people find positive ways to use their time.

[Doan9269]

If a game is not being friendly, maybe most of us would not have been playing them because we are not seeing such as being entertaining to our standard, while we discover some games for such, we should not also forget that we can make a choice of not being addicted and still cherish the games we play often, simply because its what we have passion for and we are able to achieved a controlled gambling session and experience regardless of that particular game involved, knowing that what we are after is the fun and not gambling to get addicted.

it's really cool! That's what it's all about - making moments with friends, enjoying yourselves together. What you're describing is exactly the kind of conscious choice that makes gambling with friends a memorable experience. When all this is for pleasure, having fun and unwinding together. When it’s all done in good spirits, that’s when you know you’re doing it right.

I like to think of it this way: consider the money as the price of fun we're having. And everything becomes much easier 
Today, I might be the one paying for our entertainment, and tomorrow, who knows, maybe you'll take the lead. Thinking about it like this keeps it light and keeps the focus on just enjoying the time together.

[SmartGold01]

This depends on personal choice as I feels that this can't leads to addiction so easily, and it can turns to addiction when you constantly involves oneself into this games and besides it must be a something that will be set and carried by many people or groups of friends, since it can't be handled by one single user so the chances of becoming addicted is very slim or I do say no addiction at all. Addiction can only get involved when you can keep playing it all alone without having to involved two or three players. For example, sport betting, slot or any other games that doesn't required much people to get involved easily leads to addictions.

[Juse14]

When talking about money, a person will be very sensitive and easily provoked by emotions. And even though it's a friendly match, sometimes in a hangout there is still one of them who, when they lose, doesn't want to accept the defeat so they are reluctant to pay for the loss. And because there is no third party, this often triggers disputes, and often even ends in a fight.

Friendship games are always full of warmth and laughter, because basically these games are just for entertainment, not for profit, but sometimes there are some people who joke too much or go too far, which in the end can happen again. ended in a dispute.

I really miss playing gambling with them, but I really hate those who don't want to accept defeat and whose jokes go too far without limits.
