I cant say that I'm addicted gambler, I always able to control myself in both money and time whenever I'm gambling. I gamble just because I like to play it without any worries of losing my money because I always set my own gambling limit so it will not affect my finances. I reduced my gambling activity because there are many other things in IRL that I have to take care of since several months ago.
That is the best approach, but it is difficult to always be able to control yourself. I also try to set my limits but sometimes I start tilting and start placing crazy bets. Especially if I am in a losing streak, I always want to recover that money as quickly as possible. Only thing that helps for me, is limit the balance I have on the sites to avoid that I would loose too much.
