That's reachable, gamblers can get addicted if they do it every day, but not gamblers. Although the player may seem to be addicted, in the eyes of people around him, because they conclude he won't go a day without gambling. Addiction is not about how many days the person gambles. It has to do mental strength and self-control. A person that gambles everyday can decide to stay weeks without gambling, due to some new developments in their personal life. But an addict will find it hard to spare a minute without gambling. However, those bad players who wager money every day on a game, may not get what they want. Looking at their reactions you'd understand that a companion maybe what they want, when trying to tell others about their gambling technique.
It's a boring habit to gamble for a long time each day. The duration is an important factor whenever we gambler, not just the regularity of our gambling actions. If I gambler 5 hours every day wagering little money, it's closely impossible to get in trouble, compared to when I gambler for more than 10hrs wagering big amount of money. Regardless of how big our bank roll is, gambling for long hours every day can affect the gambler's behavior, to lose control of himself. Sometimes it's not about the funds, though contributes a lot, the consistency can get used to the body and brain of the gambler. Such that staying a day without gambling could cost the appetite of the gambler, until he gambles. To them it'll be more like a wasted time, for staying days without gambling.
In my opinion, if they do it every day, it indicates that they are addicted and crazy which leads to addiction. what you say is true, but even so, in my opinion, if they do it like that, it is possible that what they are doing is also a path to addiction, or it also triggers them to become addicted to gambling, and what is certain is that you are gambling every day in my opinion is not a good thing.,
I myself don't have such principles, because in my opinion if someone is like that then it is a way to speed up their addiction to gambling. with them determining a certain time as you said, gambling with 5 hours and with small capital. But my question is, with the small capital you use, can it last for the specified time? What if the capital you used has already run out, but you still have hours left to gamble, will you deposit the money back or not?
because the chance of winning at gambling is small, so the possibility is that you will lose, and indirectly the small capital you use will certainly not last long.
Wagering few cents out of a small amount of money would take a gambler more than 5 hours duration in a gambling session. It all depends on the gambler to have the energy to stay on screen and enjoy his game. Remember he won't lose out on all his wagers or predictions. Hence his winnings can be added to the bank roll. The strategy would be stopping once 5 hours has exhausted. If the person does this every day, it's quite a long time, but if he possesses strong discipline, he won't get addicted. The other good side of it, is that the gambler needs to take some break at some point. His brain would begin to reset to normal, if it was thinking abstractly and going towards addiction. Since it has to do with mental disorder, many factors affect a gambler to get addicted which has less to do with how consistently he gambles. Anxiety, real life challenges, can lead a gambler to get addicted.
Especially when the problem or challenge is distracting him mentally, such that he gambles without any ethic or self-control. If he wagers all his money in the process, faster than he should have done in his right mental state, at some point he'd get sad over it and get depressed in essence. From the little experiences available to me, mental disorder doesn't have round the clock. Sometimes the victim gets to realize himself for some minutes. During those periods he begin to question he actions, and in the process of trying to recover the brain issues starts again. Therefore, you may hear them say no to gambling, but in the next hour you'll find the person gambling again. These things may not have been caused the moment they began to gamble every day. But, at the very few weeks they started gambling. It could be the real-life problem is the primary reason they started gambling.
