What are the differences between this 2 gamblers?

Am just wondering if one is gambling everyday (24/7) and he's winning in all his predictions (let's say 90% of his games are won) we do not call the person an addicted gambler, but we only say that he's an expert gambler. But if a gambler is not winning and he's gambling everyday we do call the person an addicted gambler.

By the way, i would not classify the gambling addict on the basis of the result of gambling. An addicted gambler who gambles a lot using a lot of portfolio may be lucky and winning but he cannot win forever. There will be a time when he will lose his bets and since he over-exposes his capital he will soon find himself in a big loss and there is nothing to be proud of if anyone is having a patch where he is winning some consecutive bets. Also skill does not play any part in it and hence it is not right to say that someone is an experts in predictions. No one is expert as no can know the outcome of all the matches.

This is true, there is no gambler that will win every day because therd always bad/hard days in everything one is doing, not to talk about gamble that is a 50/50 thing. However, those that win 90% might be good on predictions but it's won't last long because with time things will change in the casino. Every company has the rights to update their casinos, mostly when they noticed that gamblers are winning with one particular option, they change it so it will be a little bit hard for the gambler to win.

Do not let yourself to be deceived, no one can win that often, those that claim they do are either ignorant about how those casinos games work or they are scammers themselves trying to get people to give them money.

And it is easy to verify this is the case since the only thing you need is a little bit of knowledge about the odds behind the game of your preference and a spreadsheet software to simulate those results, and I can assure you that as long as the sample size is high enough, such a high win percentage will never happen.

Some of us have seen gambling base on different approach, we may not get up to our expectations if we are not on a right page with the way gambling is to everyone, gambling is all about having fun, if what we have in mind towards gambling is to make money or win continuously, then we may not achieve the best and others may see us as addicted gambling than we are not in it entirely, i think having mentality in gambling is what differentiate the kinds of gamblers we have

That's true. My approach is there's a possibility that one gambler could see another gambler, winner or loser, as just a normal thing. I mean, we should understand each other since we have been through different ups and downs. This is why I don't condemn those who share their stories about losing because I also have been in that same position and I can tell how stressful it is that you want to somehow release it by sharing their story.

But how about those who are non-gamblers? Most of them will judge a gambler especially the loser because they don't understand it and they have no experience with it. I think we as gamblers should accept that reality because that's how the world works. The same with other addictive substances, smoke, and alcohol. They are easily criticized because of their bad habit especially if they are crossing the line and taking it to another level which is addiction.
