Topic: How to spot a gambler addicted? - page 20. (Read 7225 times)
You can easily spot a addicted gambler if you see him everyday on a real casino and playing every game there. But if in online casino it is very hard to spot a addicted gambler. You need to check the name of the gambler in the history list every time you play. It is literally hard tho.
You can actually spot a gambler addict, when a person chasing his losses through betting high amounts but in the end it will added to his losses. And also a person who would like to borrow money from other people, the fact he will gamble it to regain his losses. I am thankful that I don't have this problems for now.
Now, it's hard to spot an addicted gambler because we only gamble online and we are the only one who knows if we are addicted or not. I guess this will also help us not to be ashame with our actions but the risk is always there since no one will give us advice on what to do.

You are not looking addicted person, and as you use the different ways, like play gambling on a free time and after playing turn off the pc, and left it. So i think you are already doing very well. We become addicted only when we continuously playing and don't take worry about the addiction.
Only spending money on gamble and never have others money reserve, betting and can't sleep, gambling leads violences and fight.
I don't count myself gambling addicted or even close to that. When I have a line of nonstop loosing in the game I just leave it and that's it. After some time I come back to the game and in the same case I leave it again and so on.
I have heard that the most sure way to save addicted to gambling man is to block this person in the special clinic.
That's not right anymore, you are killing your freedom, the good solution to cure some addiction is to turn your activities into a more productive ones. You will lose interest in gambling when you have something that you spent your time so much and that should not be a gambling related games.I have heard that the most sure way to save addicted to gambling man is to block this person in the special clinic.
Spend time with our family could certainly help or make ourselves busy with our job.

The signs of a gambling problem are often the same as the signs of other addictions.
Common signs of addiction include, but are not limited to, the following:
Feeling the need to be secretive about gambling.
Having trouble controlling gambling habits.
Gambling when you cannot afford to.
Your friends and family express concern about your gambling.

If gambling becomes a part of your daily routine, you're already hooked into it. Just look at the other types of addiction like drinking and smoking weed. They all do it every single day. Maybe not in a fixed time of day but they do it every day, mostly at night. Gambling addiction isn't so different to other addiction. It's like there's this thing inside your head that dictates you or forces you to gamble.
You should definitely seek help if you start to choose gambling over your family. Like, when you would rather bet on an online casino than to spend time with your family. I've never experienced this myself since I do things moderately so this is purely just speculation/observation.

When a person is addicted to gambling, he will tend to ignore the other things around him. The desire to always gamble will always been a top priority. We could lose other valuable things, not just money, if we got addicted to gambling.
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.
Thats a good idea. Try to do something that would be fun that can take your attention away from gambling. For me during my gambling days, if i lose considerable amount, i give myself one or two chances to recover from those losses. So i try to catch up on the loss but for two times at most. If i weren't able to do so i know for myself that its not my day and leave and do other things.

Near to became addicted? Either you are addicted or not, there is no middle. Time doesn't really matter, when someone is addicted and stop gambling for month or two, or year, first time that person enters a casino will blow all his money away. Unfortunately i know how addiction works and triggers because i know few gambling addicts. 
As soon as you notice you are not making rational decisions anymore and start playing when you normally wouldn't, that is when you are addicted to gambling.
If you feel you are losing control, seek help, as the deeper you get into it, the harder it will be to stop gambling again.

Length of playing, type of game they are playing, how they dress and present themselves, do they always carry around lots of fiat notes (if IRL), how much money they have total. Those kinda things.
Your post made me laugh man, do you really think the way he/she dresses can get you spot an addicted gambler? The OP wants to know when he should know that he is addicted to gambling, and I guess the first thing that happens is "craving" for gambling. In my case, I felt sometimes like gambling is living so that was maybe a sign I should stop. Another thing is the amount you are risking. If you are starting to see that you are betting too much, it is time to stop.

Online gambling to me is just another form of procrastination and we all know what procrastination is. You'd know that you're a gambling addict if your objective was to do some work done so you opened your computer but the next thing you know, you're already in your favorite gambling site betting and talking to the trolls in the chat box. It's like it's okay for you to do gambling all the time that was allotted for your work.
One thing you should know, if you're starting to ask yourself "Am I a gambling addict?" That's the point that you hit the lowest level of gambling addiction. Stop right away before you get more addicted is what I can advise.

For me it would seem to depend on the games I play, I feel like I'd get more easily addicted when playing slots as opposed to playing dice for example.
Also, I usually think beforehand on which days I'm going to gamble and for how much money, I usually stick to that routine.

Yes indeed it can not be denied, it could do with a very long time. Because when playing, and the curious feeling of responsibility will continue to be in our minds, win, win and win.
If I when around this is to divert attention to other objects more attractive or anything else that could divert our minds no longer possible to play. If they can not, only the last way is to turn off your computer.
