I have seen people gambling with positive vibes of them winning at all costs. I could remember when I started gambling, I was always optimistic of winning high bets that will later cool my mind and cover all my accumulated loses. I believe the same thing happens to other people making them to bet more, becoming addicted to gambling.

Some people could bet without even knowing the amount of time and money they have invested in gambling which could look obvious and call for estimation. I gamble a lot and sometimes I don't even know if it's becoming excess not.

Most people don't make that calculation. When they win, they forgot the losses they had before. That's all that matters for them. Since you said "I gamble a lot" you already gave the answer yourself. Yes, you are addicted and you are gambling excessively. You should probably get some professional help.

Anything like excess gambling?

which is excessive if you make a large loan to the bank for this or selling or pawn valuable and important asset such as a property or vehicle for this i think that is too much for gambling. the point is if you think your finances are still fine, it means you are still at your entertainment point in gambling. but if it makes a lot of trouble from anywhere like high debt that is excessive and very possible cause many problems.

That will be a big No to search for a loan to the bank for just playing gambling because we need to repay that loan and we do not know if we will get our luck in the gambling games. If we have good finances, we should stay away from gambling because if we try to play gambling, I am afraid that can attract us to get deeper in gambling and make us use more money. Once we use more money, we can forget to manage the money for our life and it can make us become an addiction for a long time.

Some people like to ride a bike, play pc or playstation strategy games all day, while others like to gamble. If gambling doesn't interfere with the important things in your life, I don't think it's abnormal. Obviously if you are in control of what you do thats fine. Just be careful because at some point it can change and you can become addited. So just try to keep it under control, take breaks from time to time and everything will be ok.

Excess gambling is basically the definition of having a gambling addiction. Where a large part of your day can be spent either gambling or thinking about gambling, some people get so hooked on it that their brain is "rewired" to want it. There are two factors involved - the endorphins released when you're doing an activity you love, which was originally just about the rush you got from winning and the habits you form around betting. You might get into a routine of going down to your favorite betting shop or website, which can become almost robotic and repeated every day - chasing the original highs that you had from the first wins, but it just becomes a chore in reality.

Gamblers do not calculate their losses, in the long run, all they want is to chase their losses because this is what matters to them it's not the money that they are going to use but it's more on getting on the ride or process of the feeling of excitement on every bet, they will only find out the losses after they cannot fund their gambling account or they can't keep up their bankroll, that's when they know that they are playing excesively.

This is the biggest problem of almost every gamblers , because they only counts their winnings but care nothing about the calculation of their over all losses .

They even count their biggest wins but even if they tallied all the winnings they have is not enough to cover the losses.

Gambling requires controlling one's emotions we need to move forward with positive thinking. Those who go to casinos to gamble don’t know if they go to play to win I don’t think anyone in a casino goes to play to win money my guess is that some people might spend time and money going there to have fun if you are addicted you should not play for entertainment and you should correct the mistakes without getting frustrated even if there are risks. So the source of happiness of each person is the same.

Indeed , self discipline and control is what gamblers need to win , without those is always losing what they will encounter because we must understand that we need to buy some time to get out the casino when we already winning and never spend more time to lose.

Addiction is a diagnosable problem, but it doesn't affect most gamblers. Like many drink alcohol casually and easily don't drink at other times, there are many gamblers with all sort of attitudes that gamble for fun and have no problem stopping when needed. According to research on the US, only 1.5% of gamblers there are pathological, and 5.4% altogether belong to gamblers with mild to serious problems with gambling. So the vast majority of people have no problems with gambling.
If you're wondering if you're gambling too much or not, conduct an experiment: make a decision that you won't gamble at all for a week, and then see whether you can fulfil this promise to yourself. If you cannot (for whatever reason you come up with), you probably have a problem.

That is one of the most common mistakes made by everyone who becomes addicted to gambling. It's not a good idea to pursue your losses because it will often, if not always, make matters worse, such as if you're on a losing streak. If you think it's enough, stop because you've already lost a lot of money and it's not a good idea to spend the remainder hoping for a big gain. Make sure that your gambling activity is balanced, and that you keep track of your gaming budget so that you don't lose a lot of money. Always keep your emotions in check; if you allow them to consume you and you wind up betting without making a sound judgment, it will wreck your life.

Don't make gambling control you, try to control the gambling, so it doesn't happen, it's too much.

I don't blame anyone else or myself, for getting involved in gambling, it's all on my will and will, without coercion, so I can control my time and finances, so I don't overdo it in betting and time.

In essence: gambling is allowed on the grounds of winning and losing, you can still control yourself in everything.

It becomes excess if you start depositing money coming from your savings or money that you should spend for your bills, once money for gambling keeps adding up and bills are delated for payment, then we can conclude that you are spending too much time and money on gambling and we can call this excess in gambling and this is not good for your over all health and financial situation.

What will be more worse is that you start losing with his money which was needed to pay your bill and to pay for other day to day expenses. Once you will lose all this money, you will take loan to fulfill your needs and you may again gamble with that loan money, thinking that if you win this time, you will return the loan and also pay the expenses. People take this risk and unfortunately lose again making them bankrupt.

I am not just asking, initially having a feeling that it happens to every gamblers most time without being aware of it. Although I had worse pattern of gambling back in the days when I gat no plans on how to spend my little allowance. I had no girlfriend then so all I do with funds is to gamble and play games with friends, most time sponsoring them because it makes me feel happy and among, especially seeing my peers trying to put heads together to make winning bets. Although it was really fun but I think I was stupid cause I gat no plan for money.

Don't spend your youth doing useless things, this is what my parents told me when I was young...

You have to be able to manage your education, money, and friendships at a young age because you and your friends will eventually live own lives. at a young age, gambling is really challenging but you have to be able to control your gambling budget, so you don't hurt yourself. do it slowly.

Calm down mate, I know I've had an adventure gambling lifestyle in the past but this does not portray my current personality. Even though I've exhibited a wasteful addiction lifestyle in gambling, I still have past showing me my regrets which does not constitutes my success in life. Gambling is exciting and very much addictive especially if one is making it and things do not look really bad as it is with some persons. I know my guage and level of gambling which I always considered before taking a step.

Of course are you not going to be aware of the losses, because you are still enjoying the ride, but when you lose a lot of money and you cannot keep up anymore, then you will realize that you are gambling too much and you have lost a lot of excess money, money that you should not put in gambling, that's where the reality sets in, that you have become addicted to gambling, but it's already too late.

It's like playing the lottery; you pay a small amount for a ticket in the hopes of winning the grand prize, but imagine buying tickets for almost 5 years and not winning a single time. If you've done that and bought a lottery ticket without missing it, you've gone overboard without even realizing it. We all know how difficult it is to control our emotions. We thought it was still okay, but it was really bad for us. Well, what I can say now is that if you are happy and it has no effect on your life or family, it is okay, even if you have a lot of money that you have lost.

This is a good example of what we call as 'gambler's fallacy' where gamblers think that by betting, they would be able to recover their losses.

Excess expenditures in gambling leads to a plethora of problems long-term. Without any self-discipline and control, a gambler would be put in a situation where all of his resources would be slowly depleted in the process.

This experience happened to my brother back when covid was still non-existent. He brought like $600 with him and he told me to stop him at all cost in the event he wins a single bet. To cut the story short, he lost $500 that night and blamed me for not stopping him (although I did).

If you have been winning you wouldn't reflect whether you have wasted so much time in gambling. You would probably be drinking more wine, show how much you have won and buying things that you like. But if you have been losing a lot of money in gambling, you will at some point reflect sometimes you will even realize that you do owe some cash to a person which you have yet not paid even when you won a ton in the past weeks.

If you come to that point, maybe you have gambled excessively already, it is time to rethink what you have been doing.

I don't request loans~

Are you asking about what's the point where you're gambling excessively? Well, that's pretty situational ngl. It all depends on the amount of money you actually get monthly, best to not include salaries and only include beer money stuff, but really it's up to you if you want to. It's all about financial management, and you'd pretty much be set with gambling while not losing much money. People only lose their money or rather their entire assets in gambling due to improper management. They exceed the set budget they have or don't really set a budget in the first place which is pretty stupid imo.

Take the time to actually manage your finance, it would help not only when you're managing your gambling budget but also for overall progress in your life whenever you want to buy something.

Do you feel compelled to gamble whenever you have free time?

If the answer to the above is yes, then you probably have a problem. I've seen friends who see gambling as a surefire way to make money and treat it almost as if it is a second job. Obviously, it is not, and more often than not these same people end up chasing their losses and losing more than they initially had planned.

Be brutally honest with yourself - are you gambling for the sake of fun, or the sake of making money? If the latter, you need to reconsider your strategy, potentially apply for self-exclusion schemes, or take a short break to adjust your mindset.

There are several factors that usually a person gambles excessively, such as spending a lot of time in gambling even though only betting with a low amount but with him spending a lot of time then still, they gamble excessively. So in this case it's not just about money being spent excessively in gambling, because usually those who spend a lot of money in gambling will only gamble with a shorter time. Well, I think it's only about the ability of the gambler themselves, if they have a lot of free time and money that can be spent more then of course they will gamble excessively and usually this kind of gambler is an addict.

I can’t imagine how a person could not be aware if he’s excessively gambling or not. Isn’t that like depicted in one's wallet? Cheesy

In reality, although the OP does not express himself well, he points to a serious problem that problem gamblers have: the control of emotions. The one who bets and loses more than he should, knows that what he is doing is not right and that he should stop, but he has entered a kind of trance that drives him to continue.
