there is no need for an expert to justify addiction , if you can spend too much money in gambling , too much time , and too much risk then you are already an addict .

I'm not sure about this... we spend money time in food and that doesn't mean we are addict to it.

Actually there is TOO MUCH on that mate , maybe that is what imposes my post about addiction , because we can spend money and time in food but if we are doing this with too much then that would come addiction but of course we have different views in each matter.

Quote

I think people can have fun with gambling every day without been addict, it's just a matter of point of views, some people use gambling to chill and to forget about real life problems like problems with family or hard time with jobs, its a door to get out for real life and enjoy a moment for our self. And if we can effort it, then what's the problem with it?

The problem and addiction comes when we can effort it and we get the money to bet from sources that we shouldn't. If we lose our rent money or food money, then we have an addiction problem.

exactly , if we are doing this far from our capacity then that is completely addiction , and maybe in this we are both having the same thoughts.

I had a gambling addiction before but was lucky enough to get out of gambling to cure it.
It was very hard but with the support of my friends (I didn't tell my family because I was afraid they would leave me).
I am happy and happy because my friends did not leave me after they found out I was addicted to gambling and instead, they tried to invite me to live with them to help me get out of my gambling addiction.
And now, I can say that I am free from gambling addiction and can gamble whenever I want and stop whenever I want too.

I haven't gambled in a long time, but the FTX bankruptcy brought me more losses than gambling.
So, that's fine, you only live once. Do sth make you happy.

The case in FTX shouldn't be linked with our activity on gambling sites.

Just make sure to play only on legit and reputable gambling sites to minimize being scammed by some illegal gambling sites.

And yes, just enjoy gambling as long as we stay disciplined and responsible.

Being addicted to gambling is usual but it's not totally a considered critical situation to any gambler. As long as those gamblers are doing fine in their daily lives even if they are addicted to gambling, that's not a problem to consider. There are people who lose lots in gambling and ended up can't move on easily but still, they don't become the worst people that will do wrongdoings because of gambling.

Only we can help ourselves to be disciplined and responsible gamblers. Try our best to be like that if we don't like to stop gambling.

I would say am an addict because I just cant stop myself from this habit of gambling..funny enough I always try to take a break from the act because it's does so many emotional things to me..
But that rush or feeling That tells you keep on trying you are going to win in your next try just keep playing in your head..

everything and as a gambler you can always start with the intention of winning enough but most times you just end up regretting your whole actions

So I said to myself if you can stop try and adjust it a little so as to reduce the effect of this gambling losses

Sad to hear that but to mind off that there are lots who had lost bigtime with that FTX issue.This do really tell us that there's always a risk on everywhere when you do really deposit out funds into certain

platforms which is centralized and as for gambling then it would be an another story since this is basically taking about leisure sites which does really need up that funds for you to play.

People do get addicted because they are really longing for winnings which if ever they do lost a bet then they would really be chasing it up.
and the cycle would continue and this is what it makes these casinos really profitable.

Seriously?! You're that young to become addicted in gambling and the school has to kick you out from their institution. Luckily, on my part, I was able to hold still on that younger days of my life.
I'm able to gamble and at the same time it was just maintained. I guess what helped me is that because I was still young, got no money, got no source of money to gamble. That situation I have been in truly helped me at least to naturally control me with my finances and gambling activities, not that addicted but still a gambler.

I said seriously, I used to be very addicted to gambling games, every time there was a gambling that was excited, I would immediately put a lot of money there because at that time I thought big capital would get big profits

stupid me, I did something like that when I was in school, at that time I had no income and the fastest way I made money was by stealing and using school money, I used it in the hope that it would return many times over but in fact it was the other way around, I actually lost everything

That's sad but you're still young back then and thought of things were to be achieved with gambling and money isn't a problem since there were your parents where you can take things from their and put it into your possession and sell it so, you can gamble.

Quote from: dothebeats on November 20, 2022, 06:09:52 PM

Well it's not surprising that the young ones are engaging in gambling activities, especially if they have company that are not really upstanding and not really watched by their parents as they grow up. I have had a couple of friends way back that does a lot of gambling and made good money while everyone was still in high school. I envy that they have money but I don't envy the way on how they acquire it. Even though I develop some liking to gambling, it never resulted in me being an addict. I still handle my finances well and I never exceed way beyond my set limit for my bets.

If there's really no parent that's giving you guidance, your fate will not end up good. However, there are parents that are giving the best to their children and as well as giving guidance to them. It is that when someone has been befriended to your kid and then they're living in bad surroundings doing things like gambling and stealing, those acts will also be done by your kid because of the influence of friends.

Gambling is indeed very exciting, in addition to being able to get benefits and pleasure from it, it can trigger adrenaline because there is a sensation of tension when playing. Of course, gambling is perfect for those who love a challenge. I am a little addicted to gambling, but can limit myself And do not interfere with the main finances to place bets in other words always use the remaining money after the finances for the main needs are taken into account. Sometimes it's a bit ridiculous, hiding the rest of the money so that it is unknown to my wife And the amount of money left is quite tolerable, This is done when a strong desire to gamble arises. On the bright side at the time, luck was on my side so that it could multiply the money I had. I am aware this is a very bad behavior, because secretly hiding money just to gamble

The problem and addiction comes when we can effort it and we get the money to bet from sources that we shouldn't. If we lose our rent money or food money, then we have an addiction problem.

Everything in excess is harmful. Balance is needed in every aspects of an individual's life. If someone is spending too much money in food, sooner or later it's going to prejudice his budget with another needs of his daily routine, what is an irrefutable evidence that there is definitely something very wrong going on with him. I don't know if I should call it an addiction to food or simply a compulsive behavior with has its root in another personal issues (traumas, frustrations and so on...).

With gambling it can be the same thing. Maybe the addiction to gambling is just an escape from reality, from difficults this person is facing or has faced previously in his life and still can't deal very well with the matter. An individual acting like this must appeal to his own conscience at some point and ask himself why he is doing that and what he expects from this compulsive behavior. To identify and analyze the problem are the first steps towards the cure.

Daily gambling will not lead to anything good, even if you spend no more than $5 a day. It is better to spend $100 per gambling session, but play much less frequently, for example once every 2-3 weeks. In my opinion, this approach greatly reduces the likelihood of gambling addiction compared to gambling every day.

If you are drawn to play gambling every day, it is most likely a gambling addiction, which must be dealt with.

Yes, because it is not really normal to play everyday. Day by day there is no assurance of winning, gambling is really for recreational only I don't if it is a profession, playing everyday is not normal and will cause you to get exhausted or overwhelmed. Just keep in mind that what you are doing for extra beyond limits will not do any good in the future, but rather just a harm.

Gambling also has a lot of entertainment if it is kept within limits. But many of us overextend that limit which then interferes with normal functioning. I think gambling is a great platform to spend my free time. I think if the money aspect is not brought first then gambling addiction will not occur and gambling can be managed well. It will totally depend on each gambler himself. But controlled gambling is definitely profitable.

Gambling addiction is when you have lost control over your drive or motivation to gamble. The main proof that one is addicted to gambling is when one spends more time or money than he should on games. Gambling for mainly profit making or seeing gambling as a profession or a source of income is the highway to gamble addiction. I have never seen gambling as a money making venture because I gamble mainly for the fun of the game. I have never borrowed funds or used funds that are not mine to gamble. And I have never gambled more than I budgeted for the day, week or month. I also have time for my gambling exercise and I ensure I maximize my time.

Gambling only becomes an addiction if the gambler has made enough money from it.
Many people join gambling and leave after a short period of time; some leave due to a lack of winning, while others meet their desired target and leave to avoid becoming addicted to gambling; however, some people take gambling as their own personal source of income, and that is why they stick to gambling regardless of their game condition, whether win or lose.

But some gamblers become addicted because they find the feeling that they are alive here, they find the kind of enjoyment that they can't find in any recreational activity, they find excitement and it becomes a habit, we developed habit on something that awakens our feeling, especially enjoyment, I have a friend who becomes addicted when he first played and he told me he has never felt something like this, so it's better to have other recreation besides gambling for you not to get hooked on gambling

Personally, I do not think I am an gambling addict. I know a lot of addicts say that but you cannot really call everyone who denies gambling addiction an addict in denial. I go by facts. And fact is that I gamble maybe once or at most twice a week and never large sums of money. So does that constitute an addiction? I do not think so.

In short, addiction is a condition that makes a person lose control of something. It can refer to excessive liking and being driven by a strong desire or fondness for something that is difficult to avoid. if you are not included in this group, it means you are not a gambling addict who often does excessive activities.

Quote from: goldkingcoiner on November 21, 2022, 05:37:08 AM

Realistically, how many of gamblers become addicted? I do not think its a very large or even significant number. Maybe 10% at most. If anyone knows a good source for statistics of gambling addiction then I would love to learn more. Feel free to provide a link to the source (as long as it is scientifically sound and not just some random website with statistics with no references)

Interesting question, I'm also interested to know if there are scientific journals that provide sources of information related to this. however, unfortunately we do not have data or statistics related to how many gamblers become addicted.
I can't assume any further about this.
However, reflecting on the experience I have, I like betting activities, especially football. I think, basically, if one has a good understanding and is responsible. then, that person will avoid things that lead to addiction.

Quote from: Alisha-k on November 21, 2022, 09:57:17 AM

Online casinos increased the number of gambling addicts because gamblers always have access to their mobile phones where the carry out their bets without restrictions and supervisions. Compared to when offline gambling was the order of the day, been with my phones gives me that urge to play some games even when my budget is exhausted. This is a serious problem in this era with online casinos

I think many have experienced something like you said. because the convenience of gambling via online has indeed made it difficult for everyone to avoid gambling addiction. especially if we are not too busy with work. and spend more time on cell phones. then of course we will feel bored and in the end we will seek pleasure, one of which is by gambling. one of the ways to get rid of gambling addiction is that we have to keep ourselves busy with work more often. I think it's quite effective for me.
