Spending more time gambling is not normal to the point that you neglect your job and family; such a situation and behavior are alarming, time and focus is our most important currency.
If you spend it in a casino, then you're exhibiting abnormal behavior, which will lead to financial losses. The gambler himself will not recognize these abnormal behaviors, only those people close to him.

If you notice that you are giving more time to gambling than before, you need to take a break because it shows that you're getting hooked. Also, when you take big risk in your bet by betting with big amount of money in order to make profit, you should be careful because it shows you are chasing your losses. Have self control over your gambling activities and stop at the right time. Accept your losses.

if you're giving more time in gambling than the way you were giving before that is to show that you are addicted or you are getting addicted in gambling so the only thing to do is to reduce your budget in gambling and also reduce your engagement in gambling that is only way that you can break out from not to be a gambling addict, but it is not easy to notice it except that you are conscious of yourself or someone who is close to you observe that and let you know about it, in gambling when you are losing it is when you with develop more interest especially when you have the capital with you you will continue to gamble unless you lose something that is bigger and that we affect your weekly expenses

If you are not doing well as a player, it is usually not difficult to know and does not require amy special signal to realise.  The moment a player begins to exhibit some characters such as chasing losses, not being able to take a break, being desperate to win and always having the burning desire to gamble despite persistent losses, they there is already a problem that needs immediate attention because the player is on his way to gambling addiction. This should be the general rule of appraising a player.

It is case by case, we can't judge everyone with the same perception, however, if they are just wagering their entire month's salary on gambling in a day or two then it is not normal, it implies that the person is too greedy or deep into the addiction and either the case they are going to have a lot of issues for them financially.

You are right, but generally someone who gambles for money is already considered the wrong approach. One gambler can easily spend all his monthly salary in a few hours on gambling, of course this is a mistake and highly discouraged for anyone. Abnormal gambling behavior is when a gambler can no longer control themselves and no longer care about financial risk.

They do care about the financial risk but they can't help it to control it due to greed or any other reason. Even the crazy ones are not going to bet all their money without having some kind of hesistation but still they feel like they got the luck needed or think they found a game that they can't lose it, but the results are still random and any possible outcome will come as result.

If you observe that you are spending more time, money, or other resources on gambling than you should, it's a sign of an abnormality. Gamblers should be able to have a gambling plan that includes the amount of resources that should be allotted to gambling. Once you have the feeling that you cannot control your gambling activities, it's a sign that something is wrong.

If negative changes happen abruptly and all you can point is because of gambling, hence its time for you to set strict limits with gambling. There's no wrong with gambling, it only goes wrong when your gambling activities are no longer controllable.

When all you think the whole day is all about gambling, which makes you less productive in your main job, then its clearly a serious case that you should deal and find solution the quickest way.

Anyone can fall into abnormal gambling behavior, the problem is, how to get rid of it and get up from that kind of gambling behavior.

If as a gambler you start setting small amount of money aside for gambling it's a sign that you are gambling responsibly but when you start gambling out from your budgets it means you are gambling abnormally as it's a sign that you are gradually becoming addicted to gamble. Most cases, some gamblers set some money aside for gamble but at the end after that must have exhausted their initial budget while gambling they make another deposit out from their budget, I believe that's also a sigh of irresponsible gamble behavior.

Let's make it what everyone of us will benefit, in this discussion by being realistic about it, just as the title says, the aim of creating this thread is to help us discuss on some possible means we can use to easily dictect for an abnormal gambling behavior in us or from others around us, this might be an eye opener to some that are already getting it wrong or try to adjust from one thing to the other in gambling.

If you are going to make it more practical, you can use a case scenario or ourself as an example in explaining how we were able to detect for an abnormal gambling situation and what really transpired or happen later, this will make us to have maximum sensitivity to how we are gambling so as to put a check on our behavior as well in it on an occasional basis in order to improve on areas we have already been liking behind that could lead to abnormal behaviors.

As for me, I once noticed an abnormal change in my behavior, I started gambling mainly for entertainment,  it was out of boredom I decided to try virtual games because back then I was working as a manager at a gambling office.

It got to a point were I could no longer go a whole day without gambling and I was also spending money which I never intended to be spending on gambling, and it even got to a point were I was taking money from the office to gamble with the intention of replace it back when I profit from gambling.

Gambling  shifted from fun, to were I could no longer go a day without gambling, and from there it escalated to were I was using business money to gamble, and if not for the fact that I was able to notice this abnormal behavior who knows what gambling would have turned me into?

In conclusion, immediately you start noticing that you have shifting from the initial motive, bro/sis that is an abnormal change in your behavior you have to redirect your step immediately. Because gambling something that can gradually take control of you if you don't have self control.

You are right though but using one's entire salary to gamble may not really be an addiction at first because it can be someone that is still starting and have decided to be taking this kind of risk because they want to double the money even when they are aware of what can actually happen. I'm very sure that whosoever that will use his monthly salary to gamble will surely go after the money unfortunately they lost the whole money in the process so instead of putting oneself to do this why not just use what you can afford to lose.

Back in the days when I did go about gambling in physical gambling shops, I think the most I did observe from addicts was perspiration and finding these individuals to not take a break or leave the screen. They are always in front of the screen, gambling to the point that, they start taking credits. It’s absolutely the worst way to go about gambling. You find the house to be willing to give them these credits because, they are well known to pay, are familiar to the house and at time, they just don’t know they haven’t got the money as, everything is done in a rush. When I find individuals exhibiting these behaviors, I just assume all isn’t well with them and they are desperate for wins.

When you observe that you are now abandoning your job for gambling, a job that has being giving you money to gamble and take care of your personal needs, leaving your work for gamble puts your career at stake . .

There are a lot of things to easily detect one's gambling problem. One is that they cannot let go of their phone.

I have a friend who is in this kind of problem, and so am I.
The remedy to this is having a budget in time.

Oftentimes, we don't look at the time anymore, especially when we are hooked into a game. Slots most of the time eat a lot of time because it goes back and forth. 100 spins of win and lose can take you to about 15 minutes, or maybe longer, depending on the game.
So, it's best if we just set how many hours we are playing and be sure to follow that rule. This will help us think while we are resting and maybe do other things rather than gamble all day.

[EarnOnVictor]

It's very easy to detect abnormal gambling behaviours, but the main problem is that people often ignore it until it becomes a problem.

I believe, as an adult gambling, we should have our gambling plans, especially in the area of bankrolling and the management of gambling time and money. If we are renege from that, no one needs a soothsayer before such a person knows that a problem is lurking.

[Russlenat]

The moment that you are no longer seeing being comfortable with gambling, that is a sign that you are already misleading in gambling. You are no longer happy with your finances because you are consistently losing, and you can't even take your break easily like you've been practicing before, that's because your gambling addiction is working in progress.

So when you start experiencing these things, always listen to yourself. Do not fall on the promises of gambling but always be realistic and practical. You do control your own funds and peace of mind, do not let gambling steal it from you.

There are several ways one can notice when he or she is gambling abnormally which can potentially lead to addiction,
But the most important one is the reason for gambling, if you gamble for money, pleasure, then that is abnormal and they are potential of you being addicted
So be cautious of the reason for gambling if you gamble for fun you're safe if you gamble for the love of your team you're safe but this other reasons I listed above our signs of abnormal gambling.

[Ojima-ojo]

Is not hard to detect abnormal gambling behavior, because gambler's with responsible gambling sense have one thing in common which is total control and conpuser in the aspects of how they carry themselves out side gambling and how they react to things.


One of the noticeable bad behaviors of an addicted gambler is the way they handle things, most times they are always angry and easily bost out anger for any slight reason which ordinarily is not they normal behavior.

I would say I was able to detect a lack of gambling control and I nipped it in the bud immediately.
It happened that I was losing but continued to play and when I eventually won in that game, I put the money back into the slot game because the one I won did not reach the withdraw-able amount and I was eager to win. That a was lack of control which I detected. After that event, whether I win or lose, I never have to gamble twice in one session. Many gamblers don't know when to stop/quit. It requires discipline and willpower and these can be developed.

When there are visible changes that are making your life harder, especially in terms of your finances, and you really know what you have been doing in gambling, I don't think it will be hard for you to evaluate what you have reaped out from your gambling thing. You will be the first to notice it, and not your family or the people around you, except if you are just trying to be in denial or cover your gambling mistakes and losses.

Its not bad to experience some gambling abnormalities since we are just humans, we can't gamble perfectly like we have to be responsible at all times, but we also have to make immediate actions whenever we are seeing gambling is no longer leading us like we imagined it to be.

[Versatile_choice]

It's very simple to detect, if I want to detect for abnormal gambling behavior it is after I must have set up my gambling budget. once I exceed my budget then I realized that things are no longer going as planned and then I will have to and start working on myself, I know there are other ways in which we can detect for abnormal gambling behavior. another example is when you loss your bet, let's say the first time you experienced loss you don't panic, but the second time you start panicking of course it's a sign of abnormal gambling behavior.

Exactly, one should not engage in reckless behaviour in gambling as it will cause them more of harm than good in their lives, and this shows a very abnormal behaviour in gambling, that is why they are neglecting their responsibilities and making sure they satisfy their urge in gambling, as it will continue affecting them negatively until they do what it’s right.

It's true, this is what I often do when gambling. After I finish gambling, I'll look back to see if I've improved or if I have any shortcomings that I need to correct. What I often feel is that when I gamble too long, it will make me lose control of my common sense, usually because my assets can't be managed properly... this is my weakness.
