I am not really a gambler but I heard about people who can't quit it and keep losing lots of money. Do you think the attitude to gambling addiction should be the same as to drug addiction?
Should the government forbid gambling and treat somehow those who are addicted?
Or maybe it should be left up to an adult? I mean, should people decide on their own whether they need to gamble or not.
What do you think?

Somehow. Gambling addiction can be like drug addiction in terms they are being addicted into something wherein they can't control themselves on using it. But on the other hand they are far away from each other because gambling is not really addictive for me, because the attitude and behavior of the people playing gambling makes them addicted while drug addiction is really addictive because there are certain chemicals in the drugs making it addictive once used. Banning gambling will not make sense anymore because there are lots of gambling sites all over the world so gamblers will just transfer into other place where there is legality of gambling and it will just turn out you are putting all gamblers in one space and it does not resolve the problem. Well, it must be left on the adults understanding and let them decide for their own journey but the least we can do is to guide them to somehow help the realize what they are doing. That is why whenever I play into an online casino I am currently into, I fully decide that my aim is purely to have fun. No chasing of lost because I only play the variety of games they have with low bets as well enjoying their welcome bonus after doing my first deposit on it.

You attitude will play a great role to prevent you from getting addicted in gambling. Gambling addiction is not a disease, it cannot transfer to anyone gambling addiction is a choice of every gambler to do so. If we continue to gamble for money everyday, then it can be addiction. Gambling sites have their bonuses so I think its really good to earn profit from it also.

Yes it is. Couple of hours ago I have read a thread where OP had won some of his first bets and latwr he decided to bet more big amount. He lost his first big amount. And decided to play big again just to recover the previous loss. And he lost everything. That's how a people become addicted to gambling. And it's a disease because it kay destroy you.

I think that person was too greedy to chase more money and he forgot that if he continues the game, he will lose everything and it proves to him. I would say he started to become addicted to gambling, but now, he is not an addicting person in gambling but soon, if he keeps playing gambling then the chance for him to become addicting will bigger. It is a good lesson for us (once again), we don't have to continue the game after we win the game and it's better to stop and leave the place.

Gambling addiction is one of the major keys that you should know you are doing wrong, and that is one thing you need to mainly avoid when you are gambling because there's no use if you just kept on losing and losing and by the time you depleted all your money that's the only time you'll start to regret and that is why it is hard when addiction takes you, especially in gambling.

Everyone has a different dose of addict, maybe you can't make sure when someone is gambling but he loses every gamble and he still gambles I guess he has a different dose of addict with the dose of the addict you mean.

Sometimes they will realize that what he did was wrong when he got a win, because he was satisfied with the target he wanted to achieve. I have a friend and he is a gambling addict, privously he got suffered a big loss but he the next day he gambled again and won with a greater amount of money than his previous defeat. I just weird when the next night and a few days later he didn't back to gamble place then I got his answer that he was satisfied with gambling.

If gambling is a disease then it can be solved by taking a aspirin unfortunately it won't work that way. Its up to that particular person to fix himself up

In my opinion, I don't think gambling is a disease, for me it is a disorder. There are a lot of kinds of diseases nowadays and how you earn them is through bacterias, heriditary, from other people and a lot of ways. In terms of disorder, it might be because of the state you are in before you got the disorder or also it is hereditary. For me gambling addiction is a mental disorder, you don't know that you are prioritizing the wrong thing,you are spending your money endlessly to something that will destroy you in the end.

Actually, its not a disease, its more of a habit, or a mannerism. It can't be the same as drug addiction for the reason it doesnt have any relative effect unlike drugs. It will just ruin your financial status not your whole life.

They can't forbid it for the reason its also one of the biggest tax payers in the industry. Even the politicians will be against it for the reason they're one of the players of that establishments.

Yeah, that should do it. Just mind your own thing and let them be. It's not your money that they're spending so its just a waste of time being concerned on those kind of people. But one thing's for sure, they will soonly realized that gambling should not be abused for they will lose all of there properties even their own families.

Gambling teach something new to us that's why we are more addicted to gambling because if we lost money it is something so we used that trick to make other investment so it continues that's why people are more addicted to gambling but addition is not for long time it will go out when you have not money but it is not going to be a disease it will solve soon.

Professionals, sane, educated or let's just say wise people will never believe that gambling is a mode of earning money. That is where most losing gamblers have on their mindsets. Gambling in the first place was not created in order to earn money.

And those very good high earning poker players? They started with a mindset of just enjoying the game before reaching their status.

By Banning gambling is not going to give a solution to the problem. If this ever happens then people will turn to play illegally making harm to the domestic economy. Also, people will be more addicted as it will be harder to find a place to gamble and their addiction rates will be increased. I truly believe that gambling addiction is a disease and psychological solutions need to be given to this issue.

Although the government bans it, the gambling industry will continue the business and will still operate. They will search for a hidden place which only a few people know the place. Besides that, they will not spread about the gambling place to the unknown person unless the member has invited that person. To cure the gambling addiction is only by counseling and make conversation with the therapist, but it needs a strong will from the gambler itself.

I agree with you aside from the gambling addiction is a disease much more people adopt gambling in their lives with have self discipline and set greed control to avoid addiction they play gambling for having fun.
People turning to become addicting because they want to earn money fast and quick but sorry for them is not the way to get fast rich in gambling.

I agree with your point of view, gambling addiction and investing too much money on it will lead to huge monetary losses. My friends are the ones who lost their homes with gambling. So I think people should not be addicted to gambling because the benefits are almost nonexistent.

You would find many people in the world who would have lost money in gambling rather than making money and despite knowing this facts still people fall in this trap of playing to make money from this gambling instead of enjoying the fun and entertain them self .

Gambling is more of a game and not a money making opportunity. Many people play gambling because they feel fun in it. Also if they win, they get greedy too. Combination of both fun and greed make people addiction of it and it is very difficult to leave gambling once you have the habit of it.

Just simply call it a habit or a hobby. If you're simply having fun doing it, then you would do it in frequent manner until it becomes an everyday manner especially when winning momentum is in your side when you gamble. Sometimes being in a pattern of winning and losing alternatively triggers this kind of habit, in my opinion especially in situations that you wanted to win what you have lost.

We are people we don't have a nicely not fall in anything but in sometime we fall to the most dangerous level but we can definitely get back from that so gambling will not make us more addictive and there is no effect of disease gases by gambling

I believe that gambling addictions is more on stupidity than a deceases,because eversince we were young we had been thought by the elders that gambling is a bad vices and this may cause us failure in life(but ofcourse not those people who was born and raised in a bad community that gambling is just part of their daily routine)

Yet people try to enter this field and end up not just losing money but some lose their whole life,struggling how to escape from this nightmare of gambling addiction

yes, including environmental diseases. because the environment there is a lot of gamblers, so many other people will also be affected and eventually get addicted too. if you want to really eliminate the addiction, then the environment must also be eliminated from gambling addiction.

This is bullshit. So you are saying that the environment affect your addiction into gambling?? Cheesy

First of all, you and you are the one who decides and that includes if you want to gamble or not. If you are gambling everyday, that is your decision and getting addicted into gambling is high. Other gamblers are not a factor on gambling addiction. You can get addicted if you are playing every day for a long time.

There are many gamblers who know what they are doing so they will never get addcited even when they play everyday for too long so it depends on our personal mind control and the intention of gambling when we not really understand the why gambling was foud but they are doing to be rich wihout much effort but and the end they will caught up by debts.

Addicted people do actually know what they are doing and even if they knew that it was bad , they still continue doing it . gambling addiction is not a dieases but only a mental problem imo . a real disease can only be considered if it is inside your body .

addiction or gambling addiction can also be treated and in fact only less of the population are affected with it because the truth is that most of the population are poor and cant really afford to loose or play in gambling .

Obviously gambling addiction a dangerous disease in my opinion. To be honest 80% people's are loser on gamble(Correct me if I am wrong). It's my own opinion and observations. You play professionally it's different case but also it's a addiction. As OP mention people can't leave easily who are addicted on gamble. Whoever can't leave that means he is addicted. If you play for time pass or few passive income occasionally then it's not too hard for you leave gamble. Like me I am not play much. Just occasionally if I am much free. It can called just hobi, it's not addiction. However I am not much interested on gamble and I don't want addict with it.
