I think it it called a addiction but in fact, I almost think every human that have gambled for a while has been addicted for some time.
For some people its just for a week or so(maybe a month) and for some people it will take years to control themselves.

Every human who gambles and treat gambling seriously is prone to addiction, every gamblers must learn that only few people can win in gambling and those people exceptional. Addiction to gambling is just right if you can get good benefit out from it.

well I think that unless you risk everything you got for gambling, it isn't considered addictive to gamble. You are just simply frustrated that you keep losing. It's just your basic instinct wanting to win I think Grin

Just play for entertaining will usually make you win Grin

At least that's my personal experience with gambling

Agree with you and I will say that play with fun and play for fun will make you win, as with that your mind is in fresh state and you can make decision better, but while in worried state you are unable to decide that what to choose and so lose everything.

What is that mean? Just by entertaining yourself that will make you win? This is so absurd because all gambling is depends on luck, if you are no luck you wont win it for sure. This has nothing to do with play for fun or play to win. Nothing is wrong if you are playing it for winning because everyone sure want to win a lot

Best cure for addictions are new preoccupations, so i can advise you to switch to trades. You can at least learn
new things, that have real life usage..I'm Not trying to be funny Cool

Trade themselves are gamble for me, because if you get frustrated on looging in gambling then the same would happen when you make some loss in a trade and you will become aggressive.

we know that most of the times we lost on gambling, but instead of stopping we keep on playing for the next day

after we lost, we got frustrated but we still back to play, is this called "gamble addiction"?

The second line where you say frustrated and get back to play again is actually where addiction started, when you start gambling in anger and not for fun or as a hobby. Yes, when emotions go beyond our control, then addictions take ourselves into it's control.

No, I wont say this is addiction basically because everyone gets frustrated when they loose and its normal. If you look to play back with even bigger money and try to chase losses then its addiction.

yeah try busyness or new preoccupation. bitcoin might be fun to get in a new way. it will be more beneficial than you're looking for a new addiction such as switching to porn addiction. it does not solve the problem. but only add new problems

Try to seek advise from the expert if you have an addiction problem in gambling. There is always a remedy on how to resolve such problem like associating with very positive person that would positively affect your life. Try to stop gambling for at least a year and focus on doing other things unrelated to gambling.

and we call the addiction to all those activities where we waste our precious things, no matter it is health, wealth or time, wasting a large time of the day in an activity is also addiction, and wasting health continuously in some fields is also addiction. So create a time table for you so as to remain away from addiction.

@OP: I don't think returning to the game can be called an addiction. If you lose/win, it doesn't matter but if you can't stop yourself from gambling, then it is called an addiction.

If you return to anything that has made you lose earlier, it is only because you are addicted to the same. I've seen users who lose over 2-3 BTC adn their balance is set to 0 but still they invest more BTC and continue playing. Their addiction seems to be the worse of all.

You are partly right but I think its not good to have new preoccupations because you will most likely also have a lot of stress because of it.
I think the best thing you can do is searching for something else you really like to do in your spare time.

Try a more healthy lifestyle to stay away from gambling. Go to gym and do some research of a more productive investment to gain more coins. Try to do tradings instead of gambling.

Going to gym and similar kind of activities will not help when you are frustrated and may lead you to gamble again, these things just sounds good but hardly every work in rel life. Basically do a proper treatment for this addiction.

I'm pretty sure the cure or treatment for this addiction is most probably the same as what they said, preoccupying yourself with other activities that you may consider Enjoyable for yourself. As someone who took a few courses in counseling services, most of what they will do is just advise you, and if possible, monitor you. Most of what will matter is how dedicated you are to stop gambling and to discipline yourself.

I don't think that is called addiction. That should only mean that you like to gamble, and feel some pleasure in doing so. Sometimes failing in things that you like it's normal. Maybe you like playing football, sometimes you lose, and you still play the game, it's the same, since the overall experience is good.

An addiction however, is when the activity you are participating is not really giving you pleasure, or even if it is, it's also destroying your life outside that activity. It's like if you are living to be able to gamble, and making sacrifices that affect your life, just to be able to keep gambling.

it is also addiction that you play some other game where you spend all the day as with that you also waste your time.

Anything we want to do in our life require some limited time to give, so that we spend our money and time at some extent and with that we able to maintainsome other jobs also.

I think more than that is required to be "addicted to gambling". One can surely bet everyday and not have any problems but the minute the gambling part starts messing with your personal life is when I think it's safe to assume there's a gambling problem. For example, you start losing money that you were going to use to pay the bills with. But I understand what you are trying to say, I guess if gambling generates even little stress on your life and mental health then it can be considered a problem.

I would agree to what you said, since because they want to chase their losses, they aren't gambling for entertainment anymore, but rather to try and make money which is bad and will usually lead you to losing more.

in the first place, people want to gamble is to win money. Who say they gamble is just purely for entertainment. If you tell them play the same game but with no money involve, most people will just not interest to play. The thrill of betting with money make the whole game entertainment.

This is not a good thing the best thing to do when you lose is just to walk away. This is the reason I go only with friends because we can drag each other away if we lose but we want to continue playing.

There are a lot of people that is addicted to gamble and that is quite normal because everyone wants to win some money with gamble and that is risky but you need also luck.
The bad thing of gambling is that people are losing to much money with it and they dont realizing that.

They don't need to realized that gambling is risky, they need to know it already because that is gambling suppose to be and it will never get to their senses if they don't experience it first hand and that is the way they will know for sure!
