@OP, what is the difference between gambling fever and gambling addiction? From your post, I don't see any difference or any unique difference of things that have been discussed here before as a causes of addiction and how to prevent it. Both are too similar, if not the same.

Maybe OP is trying to modify the name, and obviously, I see no difference from what OP has called a gambling fever and gambling addiction, as all the listed factors or features are almost similar to those of an addicted gambler. Maybe OP should tell us what the new message he is trying to pass across is, because there is nothing new in what OP has mentioned here, as there have been lots of similar posts in the past with content similar to this thread.

[mindrust]

Gambling fever my ass. We just call it “addiction” around here mang. Maybe you are trying to make it look cool by calling it “gambling fever”.

-Look I am hot, I am burning, I… I gotta… I gotta have my fix mang. I gotta gamble fast or else Imma melt awaii

^ This is how your description makes it look.

You write a lot to tell us how to deal with this curse but the thing is, most gamblers don’t see anything wrong with what they are doing. In fact, they like every minute of it.

[bitzizzix]

If I'm not mistaken, a fever can be interpreted as an escalation of a condition to a worse one that will have negative consequences. A fever, when associated with gambling, could be a response to excessive gambling activity and, as the OP mentioned, a sign or symptom of addiction.

The OP most likely meant signs of addiction and should have used the phrase "signs of addiction." While there are similarities in meaning, a fever is more closely associated with signs of illness.

It's just almost the same, yeah OP is just using another term for it like in game rush, or maybe in combo you're like having a term "fever" because you're continuously hitting the combo like in gambling you're non-stop at it and hitting adrenaline rush because of thrill and excitement. Different term but same effects with gambling addiction. IMO, Maybe those chasing losses sign are more into gambling addiction because it frequently happens to people that suffers from addiction but yah, it's the same, fever is just like the surface level that's happening during that gambling moment and addiction is like the worst-case scenario.

Gambling Fever and addiction is related but they differ in terms of duration, severity and even psychological impact that it has on the individual again gambling addiction could even be seen as a health condition because it's could be seen as a gambling disorder while gambling gambling fever is not

"Gambling fever" is just a dumb way to describe gambling addiction. I believe we can all get addicted to anything when the right precursors and environment is constructed for us. All the advice you've given is the standard given when you are recommended to quit gambling, but when you're at that point you are already deep into trouble. It is difficult to quit any addiction but the starting point is a desire in yourself to leave it behind, if you don't have that then the rest is doomed to fail. If you want to quit then you have likely hit rock bottom or close to it, so you've become open to the possibility that everything you thought was wrong. You have to be willing to leave all those losses behind and admit that you wasted a crap load of money on something that was never going to pay off. Once you can admit these painful truths to yourself, there is the possibility of rebuilding a life that most likely has to avoid gambling forever.

Malaria and typhoid are not the same and it is the malaria sickness that brought out the symptoms of typhoid and from my understanding Op is saying the symptoms of gambling addiction as the gambling fever. Though this is the first time I am hearing the term but it is not hard to understand. In the addiction stage the person is also committed to gambling and can't do without it but I'm the fever stage it is the signs/road to the addiction stage.

Whether it is called gambling fever or gambling addiction, they both have a negative effect on the gambler. They results in losses, shattered mental health and what have you. They are negatives and in my estimation, should be treated the same. Do not get addicted to gambling. Do not catch gambling fever either they are not good. Practice good gambling strategies and be a responsible gambler. Remember to take breaks when you feel overwhelmed by a gambling activity.

[adultcrypto]

Gambling fever is a normal process that a gambler passes through in the journey of becoming a seasoned gambler. Mastering how to deal with it or possibly elimination of it is something that measures the growth of the gambler in the business. Personally, I was actively feeling it when I commit so much to gambling or get my expectations raised so high that I will be affected by losses. Understanding that nothing is guaranteed in gambling, it was easy for me to make some adjustments in terms of budgeting and expectations to give enough room for loses and by extension, gambling fever has vanished.

Can you cite the difference between the two so that reader won't be confused between the gambling fever and gambling addiction.  From your example, they don't have any differences so telling us in details would be great so that we can differentiate the two.  And btw, saying they are related but different without telling us the distinction does not help at all.

This might give some people a hint but to those who just read gambling fever might still feel confused especially you did not specify the difference in duration, severity and psychological impact of the two.  Aside from that you also did not tell us why gambling fever is not a health condition when they have the same description as gambling addiction.

[Rockstarguy]

I think gambling fever is a result of expecting to win by all means in gambling and also gambling with an amount of money that one can't afford to lose. In this case, the fear of losing can lead to gambling fever. I believe the only way to overcome this fear is to understand gambling, to know that it can't be predicted, and that there is no need to rely on it. With this mindset, you don't need to rely on gambling, and you won't be surprised or feel so bad when you lose, because losing is already expected in the game at any time. The fear of losing and lack of understanding can be the reasons why there will be fever while gambling.

The term gambling fever and gambling addiction is actually different. But what OP mentioned are most from addicted behaviour, e.g. chasing loss, feeling restless, gambling as a escape, etc. Having a fever won't feel that even on literally a fever.
The term gambling fever is a term more like the symptoms of temporary addiction. That even for an occasional gambler will feel those like a temporary excitement or rush around gambling this were usually short and fades once the event or stimulus ends. Those are gambling fever based on research,

[sunsilk]

Fever or addiction, it seems the same in its effect on a person when not in control. I honestly thought that it's the actual physical sickness that we're getting.

And OP is about to discuss gambling while dealing with a fever. While the others are giving good meaning for both addiction and fever, they still seem to be attached to each other though.

The best thing to do if someone is dealing with it or with addiction, if you can't control yourself anymore just seek help from a professional. Although it's going to cost some money but how would you think that your bankroll should be spent for your betterment. 

[alani123]

If you catch yourself following many problematic behaviours I'd say it might be good to acknowledge that you should finally seke the help you need.

Help for gambling should be readily available, at least in many countries it's easy to reach out. But even if it's not try to open up in people you trust like loved ones and family.

When even that isn't available self discipline and quitting cold turkey might be the only way. Many people find it's worth it for them.

Professional help can only come through for such addict that moment they are detained in their center, the problem starts again immediately the patient is released, because self control can only be fixed by oneself and not anyone. Professional can only work on an addict mental disorderliness to be stable and be able to be creative in handling money but can't solve self control behavior.

Indeed. When I read the title, I was like, Gambling fever? Then I read the post and thought, Huh? That’s gambling addiction, it’s the same thing. I thought it was something new or different. Everything OP mentioned is what gambling addiction really is. If you have a gambling addiction, you're already dealing with all the things OP listed. So, for me, it's just a different term used by OP. In the end, it all comes down to a lack of discipline in gambling. Everything mentioned leads to or caused gambling addiction.

You are absolutely right because malaria comes first before typhoid and that is exactly what the OP mean. Because it is when we earn to become rich quick through gambling that would easily get addicted to gambling so that is where the fever normally start from. However, just like as you mentioned I think this is also my first time of hearing something like this since I started playing gambling, but even as that I think is quite simple to understand that gambling addiction start from somewhere.
