Topic: Are you a problem gambler? - page 10. (Read 4624 times)
Addiction is really based on the player or the person. If he has a high level of discipline then he can never be addicted. Or if he is smart, he knows the consequences of his actions when he tries to roll the dice. And usually, smart people don't really gamble since they don't want to risk it, knowing their chances of winning.
Not everybody has a problem gambling, but if you are a problem gambler, there is a support network they may help you. It starts with you recognizing the problem.

i visited in the site and i see there are 20 questions that will described about us and i think it will useful for gamblers to solve what kind the problem that they have and i think the gamblers can solve their problem with easy. but i think, its not stop with the questions, the gamblers need to struggle to solve their problems with the guide of the site and if the gamblers is really serious to solve the problem, i think that site can helped them so the site will be like savior for the gamblers.
Agreed, it will be useful for the addicted gamblers to solve it and then they know which kind they have problem with gambling. But on the same time, gambler should also determined yourself that follow the rules and serious obey the rules to solve the problem. Otherwise all work will be wasted if gambler is not serious with it.
yes this is what i am thinking when i visited the site yesterday. without determined their self, gamblers will not know what is the main problem that they have and its really hard to solve it. i think if the gamblers really have strong passion to know what their problem and really wants to solve their problems, i think they don't have to use any sites or any guide, they can use their body and their mind to solve their problems.
When you are a long time gambler then you really need some advice reagrding on that addiction. Some people even sell their own properties and steal just to have something to bet in gambling. (I've seen someone in my town stole a horse just to bet in a cockfight). Some really need some psychologist and rehab because it's a hard habit to break when you are a long time gambler. You know it for yourself if you can control it but if not, then you really need some help.
I think it is very helpful for those who are very addicted in gambling,
They just have to be true to their self and admit that they are addicted and try to control it.
when you have an addiction it is not enough to just try and control it because it is an impossible thing to do especially if you are addicted for a really long time. To be honest I don't have any problems with gambling though I used to play poker a lot and I used to lose tons of money until I understood that I need to change something in my life. I think gambling should be banned actually because it is like a drug that it's hard to get away from. They just have to be true to their self and admit that they are addicted and try to control it.
its actually a good thing that there are organizations like this that look more into the people's gambling problems. there are a lot of gamblers who would benefit from this and hopefully you can reach out to those people who really need help with their addiction.
Gambling is a full fledged industry and there should be institutions who will help people understand and teach gambling before they actually invest and risk their money in gambling. Anything which is done after proper learning will yield better results.
I doubt the use of institutions for gambling. It's just entertainment and you can not even get a guaranteed profit with great knowledge or practice.

But addicted gamblers don't admit that they have a gambling problem. This is really the first step to help them to quit gambling, but it they don't want to admit it, then its hard to help them. I'm not a problem gambler myself, I know when to quit, specially if I'm ahead of the game. Of course I may have loss here and there but I don't think to recoup it though because I know that if I do, I will be addicted to gambling.
Everyone will admit one day when they don't get money to play gambling or when they get the problem in their life, and they don't have money to solve that problem. When all gamblers face this situation, the everyone will admit this. Come to me I am also not an addicted gambler, and I will not spend more time in gambling I have control over my emotions.
I have ticked Yes on all 20 questions and site recognized me as compulsive gambler and asked me to call at their hotlines but it looks like they are only providing supports to US citizens. 
There name suggest they are anonymous group but they have also posted their office's full address LOL

Nope. I am a healthy gambler who know where to stop, when to start and how not to lose money to gambling and how not to be addicted to this game
Gambling never give us any problem, except Addiction. I see in this thread, may be it helpful for addicted persons. But also it is our duty to control ourself that we never come in that stage, where we lose everything only for gambling. Our weakness and our weak decision wise, we come at this stage where we think gambling is a problem. Although gambling consider a way of enjoyment and entertainment, but when we lose ourself than it convert for us in a problem.
I think you have the wrong idea. The cause of addiction is gambling, and it can give you the problem, addiction, it is the one who causes it then the effect is an addiction. There are a lot of people that are excited in gambling that they lead them to addiction and in the future, make you balance lower and probably going to make you poor if you don't behave as such. It should be considered as a healthy way of enjoying.Yes it is, gambling is the main cause of addiction but the problem is also to a gambler who don't have discipline and self control and allowing him or herself to be addicted to gambling if just people know how to stop and stay cool in gambling or not allowing him/herself to be tempted then you can prevent to be addicted to the gambling
I do not have interest in gambling games, but I do play gambling due to friends invitation. I do not think that I have or I am a problem gambler since I do not have any negative experience after I gamble. I can avoid gambling anytime I wanted, I can control myself in terms of betting and I always play with the money that i can afford to lose. And out of those questions laid in the survey, I only have 1 yes answer.
For now many people are wise and smart in gambling different happen before that honestly when the price of bitcoin is low many people are addicted in gambling that they can not control their self for being addicted in gambling. for now because of many advices here in forum many people are become smart right now that they can control their self for being addiction..

No, I don't consider myself to have a problem with gambling, because I only gamble with the money that I can afford to lose, I would never gamble away the money that are meant for paying my rent, food, my bills and transportation, I just gamble for the objective of relaxing myself after a hard day work 
That is the correct to do. Everyone should play this way, just with the money people are afford to lose to prevent future issues in real life, familiar issues, financial issues. If you are in control nothing can goes wrong, the problem is when you lose control over the game and start spending, spending... Until lose all the money.
