I think it depends on how you look at it or interpret the word addict because it's almost undeniable that there are even some positive things even after labeled as an addict. But in most situations, addicts are synonymous with crackheads or someone who does things excessively because they already lost total control over themselves, cannot think clearly and the ability to weigh things correctly as well is already lost.
It cannot be denied that addicts have very distinctive behaviors of this, since we think that we develop in a world where society aims a lot, and that society is sometimes capable of being so ferocious that it is capable of making anyone sick, for example , and where I live people are too funny, and they talk about others, but what happens? gossip reaches the intelligent person, because the intelligent person is not interested in those stories that he does not even know if it is true or not, then a casino player can say that he is vicious, that he has a skin-deep addiction, but he is the life of that person, if he does not harm anyone or anything, that he be left alone, then I think that is the Main thing about this.
In the future, when I am of an advanced age, I would like to venture only as a way of working to be alone in trading and in casinos, that is why sometimes this type of thread, all the amount is advice on how some players play and how I like how they handle things the way they do, because it is evident that they have had more betting capacity and more money than me, and those who have the pleasure of sharing it I value it, just as I tell my anecdotes and my losses or gains , because somehow I know that I am contributing to someone who is asking for advice.
We or most of us live in societies where casino gambling and sports betting are seen as something bad, as something of a vice, addiction, loss or the worst, but I have seen people who smoke a lot and get sick because of it. nobody tells them that it is harmful to health, so I think that a person who tells us that those who play in casinos are bad people, even though he is a successful player and has good earnings, well, they should not consider it that way, is very different the things that people can develop, each head is different, each person has different dreams, and that must be respected.
In an advanced age, the person who trades, plays in casinos and knows how to manage their money well, I am sure they will avoid having diseases similar to amnesia and others, because the brain is active.
I feel like you're going off on a tangent here, so much so that I no longer see the main idea behind your post lol, but all good though. If you're talking about the duality or the double standard that society imposes upon addicts and gamblers then I'd say you're particularly wrong. Efforts are being made to eradicate cigarette smoking, especially among teenagers and young adults. Alcoholism and drug abuse are seeing efforts to be eradicated. On the other hand, since Gambling isn't really an inherently bad thing, and while people may judge you for it if they found out you're gambling, the government doesn't necessarily intervene, and you're inflating the judgment part of this scenario cause in the real world, no one really cares about you except the people you care about. No one's gonna go out of their way to tell you to stop gambling or whatnot. It's you vs you in here.
I don't even understand the necessity of your final statement lol. But oh well you do you my brother.
Well, I am only saying a part of what I have seen, maybe since I am from a country where the third world is really the things that are seen here are different from the others, I focus on society because sometimes in these parts people They tend to get very delicate with the statements that other people give about them, I don't understand why, sometimes there are towns where there are people you don't know but they know you, they know exactly what you do, if you go to a casino they know it, If you smoke they know it, if you do something I don't know, but they do.
Now it's not that I'm sidetracked, it's that things when it comes to how to deal with a person who is actually successful at gambling, casinos, sports betting, well at least where I live things don't look good when someone is dedicated to this. , the first thing they think is that they are working with drugs, the second thing they think is that they are working with contraband, and finally they don't see that a person can be very capable of doing something very well, like having talent in gambling, in which casinos, that's the last thing you see here, obviously my comment is focused on society, which is valid, right? Now if we go to a much more technical level, where there are people who know each other, who know that you play frequently in a casino, that you place bets, and that apart from everything you are successful, what reigns the most is Envy. there, but envy branches out into many other aspects, society (which is what I focused on), vices, among other things, I don't know if I understand myself, but I particularly focus on that, we can also go to anywhere the characteristics of a particular successful player, which can include personality aspects, for example, if he is organized, if he has a game routine, if there is a schedule to follow, many other things, but I think that is more ambiguous because they are an aspect of the personality, and I think that more than one psychologist enters there.
What happens is that the subject is very open, or maybe I see it from many perspectives, I can't be seeing it in a linear way, it reminds me of someone who said something similar in football when I talked about Ten Hag, but really in depth Ten Hag had a lot to do with it, they just didn't say it or state it, I hope you get my point, I think I've been very explicit and somewhat didactic to make this thread topic better, which I think is quite interesting, I started with the addicts, because I have seen many topics in the forum that have to do with that, sometimes that is what can bother many.
