No, I have no problem with gambling. I take it as a little entertainment for which you need to set a money limit so as not to lose all the money and at the same time enjoy it.
It's great to see people having no problem with gambling and definitely can control themselves. There are a lot of people struggling with gambling because of their addiction to it, It's definitely not healthy and at the same time, their losing their money with it and it's not good. Relationships with people would end up destroyed if they continue gambling.
Yes it is nice to see people not a problem gambler and usually set a limit for themselves when playing gambling. In gambling there is a need of self control, decision making, and setup limit for themselves. Because these would help not to be a problem gambler at the end.
I doubt that people could really set a limit and control themselves everyday.
As at some point they will try to break it and make money successfully for a while.
To het lost in the end and full of regret then , i have seen something like that more often than those people who get profit steady in gambling , we are mostly have gambling problem.

I do not have problems with gambling, I set myself a limit that I can afford to lose painlessly and enjoy the game. I believe that you do not need to expect guaranteed profit from this and there will be no dependence.

This is what we can call a responsible gambler. Every gambler should really do this. Gamble only what you can afford to lose and do not expect to profit from gambling. Most of the time people that gamble money they can't afford to lose becomes miserable after they gamble. Then people that think they can profit from gambling end up bankrupt by the end of the day, because they keep on chasing losses and telling themselves it is part of the profiting process.
That sounds like a responsible gambler indeed, but don't forget that there are probably many gamblers who started out doing things responsibly to then slip and become problematic gamblers anyway.

I think it's also very important to be honest with yourself and recognize it when you're starting to slip and not lie to yourself about it. 

Well you are stating a fact here.  Lots of people I known that have control on their gambling activities on the previous years had now lost their control.  My neighbor for example, we had him fixed our bathroom shower that day, he then start the job but then when his friend invite him to play poker, he then leave the job unfinished and play with his friend.  It took another day to finish the job.  Though as I remember it, he is able to reject invitation when working a few months back.

I'll say this again people get addicted to gambling but it has been proved that it is  not as addicting as smoking and can be solved by the person. There are very rare cases but there are no solutions but for a normal addict instead of staring at your loses daily go out to a garden daily do some jogging divert your mind, go to your home live with your parents for few days , go to a animal shelter these help you to calm down and realise your mistakes

What is your basis that it is not an addictive activity? There are numerous studies pointing to that gambling as something that could be well classified as an addiction which is a mental problem similar to getting addicted to drugs and alcohol. Yeah sure it can be diverted, but not all gamblers especially the addicted ones can do this because they have something wrong in their cognitive functions.
You never know a addicted gambler is totally unpredictable he can do anything to recover his loss and at a point of time they run out of funds they still want to recover their loss but don't have the funds so they might end up doing some wrong thing

Well for these types of people, gambling sometimes is perceived to be a way out for some. Like alcohol is for an alcoholic person.it can give instant but temporary relief for people who are undergoing hardships so they can't in a way be blamed also.
These kind of addictions does really give a big problem or consequences on our life if we do tend to continue to do it.People are really different on anything,some may do something when they are on stress time or just doing for the sake of leisure and entertainment.Talking about gambling,self control would really be a big thing on here because if you do lack this then expect to be addicted into it later on.

Support must come from within in 1st place , there must be a will to fight this problem , this disease , this life ruining activity .. One must be convinced that he needs to change , change for the better , that little light must exist 1st , if not , no solution will be sufficient.

Sometimes I have a problem gambling.  I tend to binge gamble.  Trying to get away from it though.

Yes, you should try to avoid this kind of problem. Personally, i don't have any kind of problem when i gamble, because i can control myself when i do it. I always play with a low amount, and i don't consider it like a source for getting profit, I don't effect my finanical situation or feel bad to do that.
It's great when you can control yourself in gambling, I can not do that. To me, it's really hard to do because my gambling problem is that I can not control emotions, I always feel angry and annoyed when losing continuously for a long time, I also tried very hard to set the limits for myself but everything was useless, I always get over the limit and the result I get is that I lose everything
gambling won't give you any problem if you stay on the line , not crossed over the limit . stay cool whatever happened especially when you suffering lost , unfortunately yes everytime it gives you a lot of problem because lack of discipline , people tend to ignorant show the cold shoulder.

hard to avoid problem in gambling when you keep repeating common mistakes.
But that's the point ; staying on the line itself is a hell of a trouble. It is soo difficult to control one's temptation especially when someone is addicted to that deed. Furthermore, you can't remain cool with your losses. It tickles our inner a little bit at least. Gambling is a hell of a task. That is the reason no one can manage gambling without excuses. At some stage all gamblers may face some problems which may lead to life threatening excuses too.
then we maybe will always see a lot of player having problem with gambling , nobody can really have a full control over their gambling habit , it will always run so wild no matter how hard you are trying to avoid and deal with those potential problem.

join several social club to distract and solve it together are a great idea , do that if you want to avoid your problem become worse

I don't think the guy will slip or perhaps I don't want another person to become a victim of gambling and suffer its curse. However, I am not a problem gambler because I am not even a gambler... :p
I tried it once or twice but I am too coward to lose my money for nothing.

Almost every gambler has a problem. whether in the game or inside them. sometimes there is also a problem in mental. because now it is not about the game but the mind and ourselves

And that problem is on how they are going to control themselves when they gamble. Each gambler are going through on this stage and at the end of it many comes to an end resulting to addiction. That is the new problem that each gambler is facing, after not controlling themselves, they are now addicted gamblers and more problems are generating from those few problems that I mentioned.

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.

Start here:
http://www.gamblersanonymous.org/ga/content/20-questions

Let's work on this together, you're not alone and you don't need to suffer from your addiction. If you have solutions or have the compassion to provide moral support, please help by participating in this thread.
A lot depends on the person who plays gambling. Some of these people turn to specialists for help, and some do not want to do it.

I think that by gambling, we have to admit to ourselves that we do have a problem,because by deciding to gamble we have already lost the money in the first place and no one in his or her right mind would easily give away his hard earned money. Most of the time we lose when we gamble by still doing it we know there is something wrong but because we know we are going to hit thejackpot soon we know it's worth it.
