Topic: How to spot a gambler addicted? - page 15. (Read 7225 times)
I have many friends that addicted in gambling playing everyday, i think to spot gamblers addicted are always active, playing just to get back there losses even if its hard to make, making an solutions like doing an east task and micro earning just to play it all in gambling. Many gamblers like this.
Most addicts are just happy for a few days, but then their faces turned into a bit pale at thought to cover the resulting losses.
Gambling addict as someone who has a first girlfriend, regardless of their actions, they always just imagine that how quickly benefit when they return gamble.
A gambling addict is always busy gambling. If he is so pre occupied even though there's not that much to do at all, he's probably just busy gambling.
Well the logic is there, spotting an addicted gambler is easy that way. Most of them are busy gambling and doesn't have enough time for other things. But there are addicted gamblers that aren't that busy, they may be doing some other things but they keep on thinking about their first bet for this day after their work.
It might be addicted gambler but still he is responsible because he know that he don't have something to gamble if he is not going to work. There are people that are working for gambling. I consider them to be an addicted one, because why they do have to think about gambling and instead of focusing to their work, they are thinking other things.
Well you can still consider him as an addict since he has some sort of habit he can't break like this. He still thinks that gambling is part of his life and he need to work for him to gamble something. That's part of being an addict, but it is just a low form, I think. Maybe he should just set some sort of limit instead.
Someone who gambles regularly, always needing money and maybe do not understand the odds of the games fully.

Few of the notable observation would be that -
Cannot live without gambling. Even if you say no he/she would go and gamble.
Will ask for money since certainly after certain point if they are in loss they would ask money from others.
Will not be able to sleep properly anytime in the day/night.

gambling addiction caused by hooked into play let alone win every time you play, and it usually experienced by the gambling addicts.
When he/she online everyday and playing all night without sleep i know some people who addicted on gambling and they can't even control their selves to play. When they had money looking for gambling site where they can play and lose their money into it.
I think that usually a guy which play games for a long time, risk to became a gambler addicted. Which method you use for stop plaiyng when you understand that you are near to became addicted?
For example, i don't play a lot or for long time (i play games spot during my free time), so i have no idea about, but i trade forex all day and when i had a significant loss i usually turn off my Pc and i go out for a drink , just for not run behind loss.

I think the best way to spot it, is to listen to what you close friends and family have to say about it. Sometimes players are so addicted that they don't even notice, that their lives had change a lot. Like spending much more time in gambling and having no interest from other activities that they use to like before.

Here it remains more better to leave the gambling by making himself busy in another serious thing , Because I already was addicted , now about 1 month happened and not made any gambling , I remain always busy in the trading at Poloniex and bittrex and taking my eye attention at every possible altcoin to make profit .For example, i don't play a lot or for long time (i play games spot during my free time), so i have no idea about, but i trade forex all day and when i had a significant loss i usually turn off my Pc and i go out for a drink , just for not run behind loss.
That is really a hard-working job for me and that helps me lot to keep himself away from Gambling .

2. He can't sleep because of his losses.
3. He can't live a day without gambling.
4. He will do everything just to gamble if he runs out of funds.
5. He is greedy.

An addict itself defined as someone who cannot stop do something / too much doing it.
An addict or not in gambling there a lot of similarity , sometimes people who really make gambling as a way to have fun looks addicted but they are not, we cannot 100 percent judge on something like this.
People who get addicted always feel they will win someday.
And that what makes you can not stop , because you always following your delusional thought about you will win.

This is a good list of characteristics of an addicted gambler. I would add a couple of words to the item 5. "... If he wins he wants to win more and more and he never stops until he loses everything".
And also I would add another item
6. He can't concentrate on other things, like reading a book or watching a movie. Gambling is always in his mind.
Big loss or a big win will make people to addict to this gambling very quickly. If anyone makes gambling is the only source to kill free time, and if they make free time to play gambling in a busy schedule then it is fixed that he/she is addicted to gambling. And your all points are 100% right, and one more important thing is Greedy.
Yes, mainly it's the greed is what makes you an addicted gambler. If only people knew that, if only they could have realize that when they want to make money with gambling it is their greed what is pushing them to start betting. When you know this, then it's much easier to not gamble, in a bad sense of the word, because gambling for fun is okay IMO.
A gambling addict is always busy gambling. If he is so pre occupied even though there's not that much to do at all, he's probably just busy gambling.
Well the logic is there, spotting an addicted gambler is easy that way. Most of them are busy gambling and doesn't have enough time for other things. But there are addicted gamblers that aren't that busy, they may be doing some other things but they keep on thinking about their first bet for this day after their work.
I guess it's hard to find and spot a gambler that is addicted. But basing on the a certain casino's statistics we can see those people that are in the leader board. Those people that are there and listed for being the top wagered can be considered as addicted gamblers.

I agree, that is why it is very hard to spot someone who is addicted to gambling, because just like what you have said, they are spending most of their time on gambling and just on gambling. And it is also true that they are going to do whatever it takes, just for them to have something to spend in gambling, and one of the example is always borrowing money from their friends, even though what they are really thinking is that their friends give it to them for free, and he is not obligated to return it when have the money.

Yeah sure, I will like to add that if he keeps borrowing from friends and family for gambling or even steal from them to make recovery of list funds then he's addicted. Lastly if he's always found in the midst of gamblers or casinos and other betting houses almost every time then you should know his problem.
Well that you had mentioned about keep on borrowing from friends and family for gambling can be considered the # 4 slot.
He will surely do everything he want just to keep on gambling, it's like he is desperately in need to gamble even without funds.
It's for real, when a gambler starts to be on that feeling, he will be having hard time to get out of it. And when he is starting to act like that, we can spot and consider him as a certified addicted gambler.
