Would you like to add to these signs ?

I have friends who are compulsive gamblers and one thing I have observed about them is how they somehow always have the money to gamble even when they complain about not having money for other certain important bills like feeding, clothing etc. Compulsive gamblers can chose not to eat or reduce their meals, to cutting internet subscription, cutting television subscription, and refuse to get new clothes when necessary just so they can have money to gamble with. A compulsive gambler in chronic and severe cases can get aggressive when they cannot gamble or do not have the money to.

When they get aggressive it means they are in the most severe case of their disease and they should immediately recover in a rehab center,they should be forced by family members to go there in order for them to recover from such a bad illness.

It is true that these kind of gamblers always have the money to do so and I know a story of a friend of mine that he together with his brother were playing sport betting during all day and spent all the money they had even those to get meals and food to eat but some other fellow gamblers gave them like 10 dollar tips in support to them and that is the only good from gambling I think,people who gamble show empathy,we can see it even in online websites,in big casinos where in their chat people are tipping each other.

A gambler may indulge in some of the things mentioned at the beginning of gambling. Because it is very as usual to get into this type of addiction after the initial introduction to gambling. Especially when a new gambler gets a few wins in betting, his desire to win will increase manifold. And if he loses, he also tries to recover it. These signs are seen by almost all gamblers. But when the gambler can achieve everything with his skill, he gradually learns responsible gambling.

Gambling may be highly alluring, particularly when you start off with a few wins. The pleasure of winning and taking a financial risk may become quite addicting. However, it's crucial to keep in mind that gambling should always be done responsibly and in moderation. When it comes to gambling, not everyone exhibits the same degree of restraint and discipline, and it's simple to get carried away by the excitement of it all. Realizing your limitations and knowing when to quit before it's too late are essential. Losing money and being addicted to gambling may have a negative impact on your mental and emotional health as well as cause financial difficulties. So always remember only bet the amount you afford to lose and just for fun, never as a source of income.

This is actually addiction and wishing for more and more , when a gambling wins he gambles more to win more and more money and this lead to addiction to an extent. He looses his balance and reasoning power to control his desire and that ends in destruction .

It might take years though before gamblers really learn from this past mistakes and become responsible. I'm talking about experience here, as I have said in the past, I'm addicted to the point that I almost lose everything in gambling. And it went for years before I realized that I'm not just a compulsive gambler, but an addiction one.

So all the signs being mentioned in the beginning of the thread? I felt that before, but know I'm totally change, no longer playing and addicted but become a responsible bettor. And just gamble what I can afford to lose in a night and that's it.

Consistency on what you are doing is one important aspect for you to became more better gambler today since realization on situation happened from the past what can make you decide on what to do on things we like to continue. That's why mostly disciplined gamblers knows when to stop and how much amount they could afford to lose since they know what it feels to lose more bigger amount that they can't handle to take. I'm also not playing in addicted manner and all things what I do on casinos is controlled.

Would you like to add to these signs ? Have you ever found yourself trapped in this situation and how did you get rid of this ?

Loss of self-control and financial problems.

I believe that most of the gamblers are experiencing this disorder as most of them can't control their urge to gamble even more even though they lost a huge amount already. There are some gamblers out there who can't control themselves thus, they gamble more and more that it affects other people already and at the same time, it affects their mind as well. There are some gamblers though that can control themselves and they can stop whenever they wanted to.

Compulsive gambling is a serious disorder for gamblers and if you are having this, the best thing to get rid is either reach out to an expert or go to a place where there are no physical casinos or if they are gambling online, maybe at least don't let them use smartphone and observe them. As for me, fortunately I know when to stop whenever I'm gambling so I didn't experience this, and I hope I will not.

Hence, it leads me to a conclusion that being a compulsive gambler is certainly a choice, not a chance. While others can still control the urge to gamble, these compulsive gamblers have a hard time to control themselves simply because they gamble without self-limits and discipline. They always gamble everytime they want to, so as an outcome, they become addicted in gambling that they find it hard now to control their urge because their actions are way more advanced than their thinking.

Your explanation openly contradicts your belief that compulsive gambling is a choice. As we understand compulsive gambling is an uncontrollable urge to gamble. From that the addicted to gambling person had already lost his control, so definitely he already lost the ability to choose but instead is force to gamble even though he doesn't wanted to or his minds wanted to stop but he can't control himself already. It is a choice when he isn't addicted at all, and not anymore when a gambler become a compulsive gambler. Until that person recovers his control, it will never be a choice to be a compulsive gambling.

If the gamblers had already lost his controls that means He needs a therapy solutions for this matter I think.
But I definitely agrerd as well that being compulsive is a matter of choice. Although, if the gamblers already in stage of
addiction this choice of changing will become difficult for the gamber itself for sure.

However, if there is a determination to change it, we can able to change still of being compulsive anyway
in the end.

Taking out loans to gamble would never be advisable because we would not know whether we could win or even lose in gambling. If we win, we can return the loan money. But how will we repay the loan while the deadline is approaching if we lose?

Stealing money from other people to gamble can also be categorized as a gambling addiction because he needs money to gamble and does not always win. And when he has no money, even though his desire to gamble is high, he will steal money from other people just to continue gambling.

That act can really put someone into deep trouble, having a debt with a large interest as time passes by can really make a person to sell all his belongings until he don't have anything but still need to pay. It is really hard to have a self discipline and also it is hard to be a gambling as well, so the question will be in what hard way you want to choose in your life? We should not blame gambling always we should be accountable to anything that is happening to us.

Of course, we don't want our lives to experience difficulties such as losing everything valuable, including things we already have, all lost because of gambling. No one will want to see it, and because of that, we really have to be able to prevent ourselves from falling into any debt if we can't pay off the loan. We should live a simple life and still be able to play gambling like other people, but with really tight restrictions so we don't lose more money at the gambling table. And yes, we must be truly responsible for whatever happens to us.

3) You try to gamble more in attempt to recover loss

This is what we know, we mostly chase our losses when we gamble and it's not going to help us stop when there are still losses that need to be covered.
What we aim is to at least recover those losses that we've made and we also know where it is going. Instead of recovering those, what's happening is that we're adding more losses and that's not resulting in good.
We only realize it at the end when we've done so much and we almost got nothing left anymore in our balances.

^ I have done this before and that is why I repeatedly advise them to avoid this possible problem as much as they can, all they have to do is to put self-control so that thinking about chasing loss will not happen. This is also could be a sign of a compulsive gambler and it is not good if you will not correct yourself from the start. When I have continuous losses I usually take a break for a while and then come back when I can get over those consecutive losses. Because I know the more you will urge yourself to take cover losses, you will probably be out of your mind and can't concentrate on gambling, the result could be massive losses. Always put in our mind to be a responsible gamblers.

If you are really that a type of person whose really that impulsive when it comes to gambling or losing money then this activity and leisure time isnt really for you because you would really be just making yourself getting wrecked on the time on which emotions would really be taking over.We know that each person doesnt really have the same self control and discpline towards themselves on which it would really be just normal
that they would really be having that different approach when it comes to things. Some could able to get away mid-way but most of the time people would stay untile
they would be busting up their entire balance which is really a common scenario.

There are more signs that a person is becoming a compulsive gambler that you didn't mentioned or include in the list you made. You forgot about finding ways to earn money when you are waiting for your salary to come just to gamble which I am sure you know that it will result in having loans or borrowed money from friends or someone they knew. I am like that before whiyI tried tk recover my lose but didn't made me a compulsive gambler and also been quite some time since I haven't gamble a single cent.

That's actually applies to everything in general in terms of being hooked up to a certain things/activities, including gambling. Taking a loan to gamble is the worst idea, not unless you're lucky enough to make a profit out of it and repay the loan right after you win to avoid additional interest.
Another worst thing to happen when someone is so desperate to gamble without money is, stealing money from others just to satisfy one's gambling addiction.

stealing money just to gamble, it's a really really bad thing and it usually happens to gambling addicts of insane levels.
if a gambler who already feels himself always thinking about gambling and in any conversation always involves gambling, that is already a sign that the gambler has entered the addiction level. and if these things are not avoided, in the end, you will continue to gamble until you lose all your money and valuables. and when it's all over, the addict will do reckless things like steal other people's money or rob just to gamble (as I said in the previous reply)

Sometimes we shouldn't blame everything on addiction, why should anyone be stealing. Any gambler doing such is a thief and should be punished if caught. If you're an addict then you should learn to control yourself so when you don't have any money available you don't go looking for illegal alternative means to get the money.

Why should you steal money then go put it at stake in a chance game that you're not even assured of winning or retaining your money. You're not only been foolish by doing such but putting yourself at great risk. An addict should try to keep some spare to be used when he's having the urge of gambling so it prevents drastical decision like stealing.

Insane levels of addiction can lead individuals to put their primitive instincts over the reason, consequently taking them to commit acts like the one you mentioned above. They can also show aggressive behavior, lack of focus and attention on basic tasks of their routines, sleep deprivation, and on long term it might have further negative impacts on their cognitive system, if the addiction isn't addressed and treated in time.

But the issue about luck is that no one actually knows when he will be lucky or not, especially when you have plans to pay a loan you took just to make extra money for yourself. You might just end up adding more problems and debt for yourself. I have had bad habits myself but i think going to the extent of borrowing money for loan isnt part of my habits. i feel its better you stay with what you can afford when gambling and Dont take extreme major of finding money through gambling or else you loose more to it.

Also trying to play to win more after winning a game, thinking you can always win just because he/she has won the first time. These is also a sign of addiction. It is better after winning to wait for awhile than to be playing continuously.
