Topic: Is this man addicted to gambling? - page 4. (Read 5025 times)
His not addicted to me because he can stop for 2 days right? So basically his not addicted yet but he will soon because if he kept losing in gambling he'll start to get addicted because its like a videogame once you lose you'll try to gain a win.
I think you can call it an addiction but some addictions are worse then others. An addiction for sugar will make your teeth fall out where and addiction for water or type of food is far less damaging. His addiction is fine. If he enjoys doing that in his free time let him. It's his life to enjoy. He is not using his own money so it's ok. If he was the there would be reason for concern. You seem like a good friend though.
My close friend is 50 years old. He's never been addicted to anything throughout his life. His friend made a poker website and now he keeps playing there a lot. he also uses some free tickets to tournaments he gets from betcoin.ag signature campaign. He plays almost every day for a few hours. And he became more nervous in general. But he doesn't think he's addicted and his argument for that is that he can stop playing for a day or two (that's true) and he doesn't spend his own money on it at all. Would you call such a man addicted?
Is your friend still working or is he retired ?. Well in that age gambling is okay with them they don't think about it that's because they have the money and specially in his situation he is not even paying to gamble so that's more the reason he gambles. He might see it as an entertainment not as a addiction that's because he can control himself, as you said he can stop playing for a day or two. Still if he keeps playing and gamble everyday your friend will soon be addicted, he maybe say that he can stop but if he keeps doing it everyday it will be part of his routine and becomes a habit and it would be hard for him to stop gambling. So if I were you, tell your friend that even if he says his not addicted just tell him that he should minimize playing and wasting time. Instead gambling, use it in other purpose than sitting in for hours especially his 50 years old. Hope it helps
He's not an addict, but he might become addicted in the future. Playing for hours will make some people go back to cover their losses often, which could result in more and more money deposited until he fails.

When we say the word "ADDICT", it means you become an addict without spending your own money, example you have psp(play station player) you can be addicted to psp games without spending your money, because it became a hobby to you in your daily routine in life. Same thing with your friend.Lol you are missing the definition of addiction here
There is a thin line between addiction and habit, and obsession. Obsession is not addiction and definitely a habit is not either of two but each one can trigger each other. But to be more specific, if the person use gambling (psp in your case) as an altering mood subsance or object and he become outraged or depress, or stressed if ever he failed to do or use that object, then that person is addicted. The person in the statement is not an addict yet in gambling, because He knows how to control himself into gambling. But if he will become neglectful no wonder in the end He go through to that position to become addict gambler.
When you cant control yourself in playing something then that is an addiction, although he only use free money for now, but someday he can use his money to gamble, because he already addicted to gambling, i think you better find another hobby for him
That's right, help him to find another hobby, hobbies are fun and can spend a lot of time. Help with finding a hobby that can be made of two or more, so you can always take her new hobby when he was lazy or forgot. If he really wanted to quit, you probably will not have too much difficulty in finding him a new hobby, patience is very important here. If you give up, he will also be more difficult again to stop.
Family support is really need for addicted gambler since nobody can't change gambler behavior except their family
Religion fundamental also take an effort for gambler's mental recovery against gambling although it's require time but it's possible !

i think yes he is addicted because he made it compulsory for his life as he play it daily for few hours, although if he is not spending money for this but addiction is not used for that things for which we have to spend money.He is not spending his only money yet, but what if the does now? I think your close friend is in the road to have a addiction to gambling. Specially if he is going to spend his own money. I bet he will do it in the future without you knowing and covering it up and its too late to know that he has lost some big amount of cash in gambling. Today he is not addicted, but in the future more likely to be.

The latter isn't so bad in my opinion unless it doesn't lead to the real addiction. I'd suggest that guy to cut the time he's spending on gambling though.

I think it's reasonable, I also experience it. many people perceive that I'm an addict gambler, I don't care about it, which is important I don't bother them.
There's no good when you get addicted into gambling you may lose or win this two are opposite now you can't choose on this because we always encounter loosing every time we forcing our selves to play more only gambling. I'm not that kinda addicted in gambling , a real gambler should had a discipline or his self My close friend is 50 years old. He's never been addicted to anything throughout his life.

Although, this will appear in different light to different people but for me, I will say he is not addicted so far he can stop when he can and still continues if he soi wish that sends a signal that he is in charge of his activities then that's no addiction. Also, so far he is not losing and start dragging every one close to him including yourself, then he is not addicted when those factors started playing out, that's when its important he is to be cautioned...
When you cant control yourself in playing something then that is an addiction, although he only use free money for now, but someday he can use his money to gamble, because he already addicted to gambling, i think you better find another hobby for him
That's right, help him to find another hobby, hobbies are fun and can spend a lot of time.

this is what we can do if we are really want to help that man, as we don't want he become an addicting person in gambling, and we want to show him that he is one of the addicting person. i think if he is really an addicting person in gambling, he should be thinking and asking to us, is it true and after this, we can tells him that we are here to help him and we should do more thing to help that man. with a good effort from us and him, i think we can help him to quit from gambling and not to playing gambling in every day.
Yup, we have to make him realise that he has addicted to gambling. When he realised that he is addicted to gambling and it will post my entire life and my family life then he will listen to our suggestion until that we can't help him. And yes we have to make addict any other habbit to stop this gambling. When people do not get more free time then they will stop to thinking about this gambling.

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do you know? You're right though, gambling is bad especially when the Gambler doesn't have any idea on how to stop making mistakes.

Let him decide for himself. If he thinks that he isn't addicted then let him believe on it. And with the proof that he can stop for a day or two because most of the addicted gamblers cannot stop even for a day. I guess he is just fine but when it comes to his emotion, he should be careful if most of the he becomes nervous.

i dont think so that he is some sort of addicted to gambling. in the first place he does not spend his own penny just to play and gamble. second is that he can stop whenever he wants to. he has this self control. as long everytime he plays, it does not interfere in his daily life or activity.. just basing in the explanation below, i dont think his addicted.
when we say addiction, it is a condition that results when a person engages in an activity (e.g., gambling, sex, shopping) that can be pleasurable but the continuation of which becomes compulsive and interferes with ordinary responsibilities and concerns... https://www.psychologytoday.com/basics/addiction
