Can people still get the addictive nature through friendly games

[fullhdpixel]

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.

If he's already a gambler he can do that, but friendly games can't trigger people to be a gambler, people start gambling in casinos or gambling platforms because there's a lot of challenge and excitement there compared to friendly games.
In friendly games there's no challenge in winning the goal is for all involved to have fun In friendly games there should be no big money involved, and it should not lead the way to be addictive in gambling.

friends should not encourage one another to become too involved to gambling that they will become addicted to it.

Of course they can. There are so many things that can trigger real gambling. Another example would be video games with some betting involved, casino, and pay-to-play or pay-to-buy a skin, hero, etc... Some can level it up by playing on a dedicated gambling platform but others will remain as is because each has our different tastes and not all won't be contented on simply pushing one button.

Friendly games says it all. Not just a less money involved but there must be no money involved here. Oh well, maybe the ones who does this are already a gambling addict/veteran and they are expanding their niché to keep the excitement going.

If this is indeed a friendly game then you must all be know that you are not fighting against each others instead you are just enjoying the game with bets or not.

But for me ? our friendly game requires no money but just to enjoy our day together that we have been doing for many years now at least once a month when we have time to consume.

Friendly games are just for playing sake, nothing serious attached but addiction doesn't count if it is serious or not, addictivenes involves one being consistent in what he or she does, I remember when I when I started playing draft, the firat day I didn't see it as anything but as time goes on, I started  being addicted to it for that reason I advised myself and avoid going close to where people are playing such, addictions just happens that's why when you interview some addicted smokers how they get to the level they are currently they will just tell you that it just happened, this things just happens as a play but we should always know when we are going to extremely in what we do in other to avoid being too attached to it.

It made me remind an experient where people were asked to do a test or set of activities without any rewards involved on the process. So they did it without any changes of mood, as they do trivial tasks on their daily routines. However, right after they were asked to do the same set of activities, but aware there would be a financial ($) reward involved in the end of the process for the most skilled people in such tests. For that reason, their moods completely changed and they took the tasks very seriously. It wasn't a trivial thing anymore.

The same must happen regards the friendly games you mentioned. While there weren't any rewards involved, people would take such games friendly, as usual. But when rewards were introduced to the most skilled players, people got very competitive instantly, because they had to overcome their friends (who became their rivals now), otherwise they wouldn't win anything in the end. For me it seems an automatic and primitive behavior displayed, because it should be obvious for reasonable individuals that the friendship should be above every and any financial rewards in this case...

Greater addiction starts with the smallest one.

And that's why with those little habits that we're doing, if we do it continuously then that will create a habit that we will always gonna do. The same goes with gambling.

With the small type of gambling that you do with your friends, if done in the long run then it will become a habit and that's gonna make you addicted to gambling.

As human beings, we're going to find it when we get used to it and it's gonna be like our day won't be completed if we don't do any of it.

Your remark was right that often people get to the state of addiction with their small actions which, by the way, seem harmless at first. This also includes gambling – many aspects of life do fall under this category as well. And it’s true that if we constantly practice on a smaller scale such as making bets with our friends, we may never leave it even if we want to.

One instance is gambling, where a small practice could eventually turn into something substantial and very unpleasant. Actions that might just start as some social bonding with friends may then easily slip into habits that are hard to break, where we feel incomplete if we do not engage in these behaviors during our day. It seems like something we need to feel “normal” or “perfect”.

The gambling fact that it has transformed into a habit means that it has assumed a strong position, even becoming an addiction. Hence, the small habits we practice regularly must not escape our attention, and we should identify potential perils that can emerge if these routines persist over an extended period of time.

For people who often have the habit of gambling for money, playing for entertainment purposes with friends can make them uncomfortable. Any game that is competitive and involves winning or losing is likely to pique a person's desire to gamble. Especially in games played with many people, competition can create great motivation for players to try to improve their position, thereby easily forming addiction.

However, not all friendly games are addictive. Some games are designed for educational purposes and social interaction rather than stimulating the expectation of receiving big rewards like gambling games that can limit addictive habits when playing.

That's why we must learn about self control to avoids that such experience, especially when we are with our friends. We don't wants to feels bad because we playing gambling with our friends but they can't accept the lose or we can't accept our lose. That can ruin our friendships because of a simple thing and we must prevents that happens to us. Many people becomes aggressive when they wins in a games and that can makes someone of our friends feels not right and if they can't accept it, they will angry with us and that can damage the situations. We better avoids a friendly games that can becomes addictive because we knows what risks behinds of that games so we must not playing that games when we are with our friends. Many things that we can do with our friends so we can choose it to fills our spare time with our friends. That will be safe for us and will not harms our relationships with them.

I think he will still continue that habit outside. What he showed in that place was just a little of it maybe he is just calm because it was a game Involving old long time friends which he was controlling his attitude but I trust if he moved from that place he may be worst than that. You know different gamblers and their ways or should I call it attitude towards loses. Most people can be calm if they lose or win but some will be angry to the point that they may even pick up a fight with you. So it's a normal thing. Maybe it's just your first time of noticing it from him.

It's about learning to control yourself in such situations. I know it is not easy for a person with an aggressive nature to control themselves, and it is icing on the cake if they are a gambler as well because aggression and gambling are a deadly combination and someone who got it can cause a lot of trouble for people around them. This mostly becomes the reason for such people having no friends or family members being interested in having them around because they can do anything at any time.

Aggression is as bad as greed because these two things only make us lose in life in the long run. If you are greedy, you will lose monetary value and financial holdings, and if you are aggressive, you will lose emotional value and all your relationships, in both cases, you are at a big loss.

Just like you have explained, addiction start with a step and by the time we start doing such a time for long one after the other, we might be surprised that we could end up becoming addicted but might not be visible to a level we might detect it. Most time addiction comes with sweetener that will keep attract us to hi gamble am that we are going to make profit. That is the kind of words many addicted gamblers most receive at their side ear. Sometimes it could come with different options but if we that have that courage to say no that we don't want, we might be very surprised to fall victim and see ourselves gambling more that we supposed.

Well said Mate.
If we understand what addiction means, we get the point that it's a process and grows gradually without our notice, and we find such practice healthy. So it doesn't matter wether it is friendly or not, people also get addicted to a particular food, anything is addictive but it really worst when one get addicted to a wrong practice

You just have to have control of any activity you take part in, and moderate it to avoid any possible consequences.

The person or people in question's gambling history should be traced. You can't tell me that the little get-together game is what led them to that level; it's not convincing to me.
 
Either one of them or one of them is a chronic gambler who wants to show off in every little opportunity they get, which is why they decided to take the game to a whole different level without even thinking about how others will view and look at their action.

Just like we have persons who love to argue alot and be right all the time, so also we do have gamblers that don't even know they are addicted until they start playing and can't help but want to win so badly despite the scenerio or environment they are in.
For fun amongst friends, no real cash should be used and also no expensive gifts to be won, else there will be an unhealthy competition that would ensue and well, we know how humans become desperate to win freebies in any situation because of also the economic situation of many countries too.

Addiction is a sneaky thing that often creeps up on us gradually. Addiction starts with something common done by anyone. But then, this little thing can become a habit, and the people involved will not realize his mentally dependence to the habit. Addiction to gambling is often fueled by the desire of gaining profits. Gamblers chase the win, social media users crave the like, and people struggling with substance abuse seek the temporary escape. This positive reinforcement keeps us coming back for more, even when the negative consequences pile up.

Addicted people usually fall into denial about addictive behaviors. They would downplay how much time or money they have spent or convince themself they can quit anytime. Addicted people have a thought of "one more won't hurt" or "I deserve this". People should be mindful of habits and pay attention to how often they engage in certain behavior. They need to find positive ways to manage stress, boredom, or other negative emotions.

Each person is really that different when it comes to gambling and if you are someone whose a gambler then you would really be definitely have that kind of urge and have that kind of reaction on the time that you would really be starting on doing gambling. Good thing that you do have a friend that gives back all the money that you do have but its been said that when it comes to ego then a gambler would always be a gambler.
As long they do have that money on their pockets then they would really be definitely be playing it for that certain day. There would really be no doubts that they will continue it out.
This is the issue for those who are really gamblers that they dont like that making up some betting into something without money involved even if they were with their friends.

[Hypnosis00]

I won't say it leads to addiction, a big difference from gambling in the casino.
Addiction is not because we gamble, it really depends on our thinking and approaches. So many gamblers around the world and not all of them are addicted to it. It only happens when we spend more time doing this as this will influence our minds. We can avoid this from happening if we limit our time to gambling. Unfortunately, some gamblers can't control their emotions and some are expecting something huge which makes these gamblers get crazy chasing to win.

Moderation is very important in all things we do especially when gambling and must be aware of the outcome when it goes wrong.

Well, you must know or realize that people are different in behaviors and thoughts, and every other thing, and because of this difference, we all sometimes or most of the time; act and react differently to different situations and challenges.

I personally do hang around with friends every Sunday to play some fun football games, but even in this game, and we all knowing fully well that it's just for fun, I still find some of us who go all in in it to win the match, and they are losing, they are not happy, we see them struggling, starting baseless arguments and even ready to fight if it warrants them fighting.

So, in the end, we all should know that addiction isn't only based on what people make money from, anybody can be addicted to anything at all, it could be gambling, friendly sports, alcohol, food, porn and so on and on, becoming addicted to anything a person loves is easy, this is why we usually find some people who love playing football physically with friends, and their love for this game has turned into addiction as they can't go a whole day without playing football.

So, I guess the answer to your question should be a straight yes, anything or form of sports can be addictive to anybody, all it takes is for the person to love doing that things with passion, and if not controlled, he or she can easily become addicted to that thing.

Moderation if we aren't succeeding in gambling, but if we do make money like we make a living in gambling then we can make it as a serious business to do. It all starts with friendly games, like in my case, I learn gambling because my family loves to gamble, so I learn when I was young, no money risk as bet yet then eventually I started to risk money so it will be more exciting, and then now I'm still gambling and I have been doing it regularly already.

one thing is learn like learned the hard way is that "control", the most important thing to remember as we know what would happen to us if we don't have or lack of that.

Either one of them or one of them is a chronic gambler who wants to show off in every little opportunity they get, which is why they decided to take the game to a whole different level without even thinking about how others will view and look at their action.

But in my opinion everything will really depend on the attitude of the gamblers because if they have wise attitude and are responsible for every decision in gambling then bad things won't happen.
It not about the game or the amount of money used but more dominant about how they think and make decisions after everything has happened, experiencing defeat is sad thing but if there are recovery efforts it can also be much worse.
My conclusion would be to say that whatever happens and however the results still depend on each gambler himself.

You are right because many gamblers have this attitude, they want to get praise and they want to be seen as braver and more professional gamblers, but that actually no use.
And this kind of attitude is what makes gambling place that destroys many people, but this is not the fault of the gambling activity but the fault of the attitude of the gamblers who do not have clear mindset regarding every decision they make.

This could be the sign of someone being addicted to gambling, but it could also be a sign of someone that is ultra competitive, and regardless of which one of those options is the correct one, the truth is that both can be very difficult to deal with, as those that are addicted will always be in denial of their condition, while those that are so competitive will make a big deal of even the most informal competition, in which case it is better for the OP to never organize a reunion among their friends in which they play some friendly games or this will happen again.

I won't say it leads to addiction, a big difference from gambling in the casino.

It can be an initial step because a person playing a gambling game with a friend is already engaging in gambling and it is said that gambling addiction can possibly start with any gambling engagement especially when the person bring his gambling engagement to another level.

Addiction is not because we gamble, it really depends on our thinking and approaches. So many gamblers around the world and not all of them are addicted to it. It only happens when we spend more time doing this as this will influence our minds.

Gambling addiction occurs not because a person spend more time in gambling, it occurs the moment he can't control the urge to gamble.  It is more on the self-control thing.

We can avoid this from happening if we limit our time to gambling. Unfortunately, some gamblers can't control their emotions and some are expecting something huge which makes these gamblers get crazy chasing to win.

Not only time but also the fund use in gambling.  If a person is able to moderate both his time and bankroll by gambling responsibly, gambling addiction might have a slim chance to occur.
