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 ?

I remember reading somewhere before that Isolating yourself and becoming secretive about your gambling habits are one of the symptoms you can find in a compulsive gambler.

4) Ignoring other important work like job just for gambling

this one is quite sad because we all know that other than jobs, someone who is a gambling addict tends to prioritize their gambling addiction more than their own family.

In short, compulsive gambling is not good, a bad habit in gambling and it can result into a more problematic situation. As a gambler you should be more responsible by knowing your limitations because if you are too emotional and didn’t have a plan in gambling, you might forget your purpose and probably will be more greedy. There’s a lot of addicted gambler started from this situation, better to avoid it now and just play the usual.

This is not good at all since you are uncontrolled and you tend to gamble that much even if you don’t have budget anymore. If you are into this situations, you are being hyped by your emotion and tendency are you will gambling without any strategy or plan when to stop and take profit. The worst part here is that, you’ll use money that is not your and you will lose it, this can create another problem for you. Gambling should be more fun and not a stressful like this, if you are slowly falling into this trap, better to address that issue right now.

One of the signs of gambling addiction that really matters is, the urge that makes you see gambling for a solution to your financial issues. There would always be issues right? Issues that money could solve but, when you don't have it and the only thing that comes to your mind for a means of generating funds is gambling, your in for some addiction problems. It doesn't mean that there would always be issues to ha e these urges but the point is, having a compulsivenesss to source out funds from gambling is the sign that matters.
Find yourself having this attitude towards funds generation, your best solution would be getting a job, be focused on it and have good money management skills.

Urge could come from desperation because there are moments or situations in life on which you do need to have lots of money or immediate ones basing up on some emergencies which you do know that you cant be

able to provide it on a short span of time and i've seen some of my colleagues does have this kind of approach on making up a solution on having that immediate money which is through gambling.
Honestly they had just made out themselves put up on big trouble because the extra money that they do have had lost it all which it worsen up the situation even more.

Gambling addiction is a different topic also which is really that very common where lots of gamblers do really experience out this problem.

A person is able to overcome any addiction, if only the desire and gambling addiction is no exception. It is only necessary to admit the existence of the problem and deal with it. Most of the same gamblers have a gambling addiction are afraid to admit the existence of the problem and are trying to hide their problems from the environment. Only by understanding what your problem is you can develop a plan to combat the problem. Otherwise, nothing will work. If you feel that you have a problem with gambling, then tell the people closest to you who can help you.

We don't live in an anime world were simple will power could get you through anything. Sometimes gamblers who have succumbed to addiction outrightly require professional healthcare assistance. Addiction is a serious mental illness and is not something you can pass off as a simple problem with discipline, although not gonna lie that's where it all starts. Gambling addiction, like most forms of addictions are easier to cut off when the bud is just little, so judging from that statement, it's much better to actually recognize that you need help as early as possible, because it will hasten your recovery and you can get back to your life faster. I would agree with your statement though wherein it all starts with recognizing you have a problem, because that is true. You can only be given help if you recognize that you yourself needed it.

Most people that have compulsive gambling lost control over his budget, followed by using the money he posses to gamble and lie about it when they losses. They also take loan for gambling activities that is possibly because they run out of money and they can't stop gambling so they resort in barrowing money to have their bankroll filled. They actually say they are doing it to recover losses but in fact even if they already recover their losses they still keep on gambling until they lost their bankroll again and the cycle continues.

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

When I was addicted, I tried to gamble more if I am losing, but also when I have gained a lot. There are days I would have gained so much, but continue to gamble as it is enjoyable and I will lose more at the end of the day. Be it if losing or winning, you will gamble more if you are a compulsive gambler.

That’s how probably compulsive gamblers are. Regardless if you win or lose at the end of the day, the irresistible urge to gamble again will always be there. And for me, once your actions become out of your own control, that is a warning that needs immediate response, because if that will be tolerated and ignored, you will eventually end up as a gambling addict and might need a serious rehab for you to recover.

Many times we are in a situation and we do not not realize the intensity of the problem. One such case is compulsive gambling. In simple words, it means that you are unable to control the urge to get involved with gambling even after understanding the potential harms associated with it.

Here are some signs of compulsive gambling :

1) Gambling related thoughts are always in your mind even when you are working on other activities

2) You keep increasing the gambling related money with each game

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

4) Ignoring other important work like job just for gambling

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 ?

There might be a few other signs: Like rushing to get through all other stuff in your life to get back to gambling. Spending more money than you can afford to on the game is also a very bad sign, often as you try to chase the loss and lose all grip of spending. Letting it engulf your life and maybe lowering your standards in other areas, usually an inadvertent side effect of losing control. The best way to stop I've found is to cut it out all together. No half measures. If you identify that you have a problem with gambling then you just need to stop and find other things to distract you instead, you cannot try to get it under control by cutting down spending, just stop it altogether if you really want to quit. Give it at least a year or two before even thinking about trying again, even then you should probably avoid it.

This is the worst of gambling. To come out of compulsive gambling is really hard thing, because through addiction free centres support or through someone's advice it can't be stopped. Only if the person himself decides and take required measures to keep himself focused on other activities he can come out of compulsive gambling. Most of the gamblers used to be compulsive gamblers at some point. Further the experience gives them best learning and understand the limits of gambling.

I could remember that I used to have a friend who was a compulsive gambler, he would gamble away his money, and then locate where his wife kept her money and gamble that away soon, it wasn't easy for this couple as they fought each other almost every day that breaks.

Compulsive gambling is a habit one must never allow to take over them, and for those that are already into it, they must find a way to stop as this can lead to serious issues in the gamblers financial life as well as family too, it can lead to depression, health challenges and so on, gambling too much was never a good habit.

a compulsive gambler lives to bet.
Un practice, he spends the whole day thinking about bets, about how to get the money back to play, he tries to mask his addiction (to family or inner circle), he has little tricks to be able to play (for example, he takes the dog out to play on his mobile phone)... in short, all is directed to this activity, all efforts, all interest, all ideas.

above all there is no limit. he will continue to play always and without a limit! even if he lost everything he will have just the idea to gamble again Sad

One of the main symptoms that I have observed of compulsive gambling or gambling disorder is the need to gamble daily. You are there on a high that you want to achieve more and feel that adrenaline rush that you are yearning for, and as a result, you bet more and more money with regards to the usual amount that you should have, OR you didn't follow your betting system and risk management.

The sure way to say that you have a gambling disorder is you lie about gambling. If you can't tell the truth or somehow, someway, you don't want to say it because they might think that you are an addict or something, that's already a sign that you are.

That could be the best scenario that we can expect from a gambler who faces gambling disorder. He has that uncontrollable urge to gamble in any time of the day because he thinks the more he will spend time and money in gambling, the bigger chances of winning and beating others. But we know actually that it’s not what is happening in casinos as the house will always have the edge to win over the gamblers. As a result, once a gambler becomes a compulsive gambler, he will surely end up having a deep gambling addiction that will make him restless most of the time.

The number one sign is enough to spark all the next numbers as a compulsive gamer.I remember being in that phase many many years ago where even when I was laying down to sleep my thoughts kept revolving about gambling and about what slot machine I will play tomorrow,during the whole day I kept playing slot machines and this is a clear sign that I was addicted.The only choice to recover from such illness though is if you really want to and no one else can help,maybe in the extreme case recovering in a gambling rehab center would be a good solution to this illness,for many people this is the only option,I was luck though as I recovered myself by a strong will to be a better person and do better things in life than keep gambling.

The first sign too is very common for every gambler out there who always anticipate to win in gambling. But I would not deal with this as gambling addiction because based on my experience, this is not that annoying that I should go and find its solution. There are times when gambling suddenly popped up in my mind in the middle of my work and I wish I had bet on that particular team to win a good amount. But definitely, it’s not happening at all times so I can say it’s still quite manageable for me.

All the the OP outlined are indeed some of the signs of gambling addiction. I have seen people abandoning their jobs because they want a gamble. Let me add that when a gambler starts borrowing money from friends, family, and colleagues because of gambling, this might be a sign of compulsive gambling. I have also had contact with persons that can sell their belongings at a very cheap price because they want to gamble with the funds. This could also be another sign of compulsive gambling. I will advise that persons with such behavior should retrace back their steps or consult a gambling psychologist.

Doing these things are already a sign of gambling addiction. Selling our assets for gambling and borrowing funds that we can't afford to pay is surely a sign of compulsive gambling. If we are doing things that affect our careers, relationships, and even our health then we have already fallen for gambling addiction. I have plenty of friends who have done those things and they lost not just their assets but also their families and relationships. If we could feel that we can't control our urge to gamble, then we must seek professional help and we must not let our emotions take over because we could possibly lose everything we have.

I think the major cause of the highlighted problems you listed is from loss precisely, but you made mention of it among the list anyway. Ones you see a gambler is having disturbance about his gambling ways, then it could be that his trying to recoup lost or probably borrow money to gamble and he is in a state of denial trying to get back what he has lost, it is this moment you see them with unrealized calculated risk but they forget that gambling doesn't work that way.

You know what gives me comfort any time I stake a game or wager my money, I make sure that I zero my mind off that money I used as soon as that game becomes accepted, if the result comes as I predicted, it is fine and if it doesn't, I'm still good to go but I make sure I don't stake my money blindly, I go through my options before I bet, and the earlier you realized this, the better days you have with your normal life.

Chasing your lost is the worst of all because you wouldn't know that you will end up losing all that you have. Gambling every day is good, as long as you have a budget for it and you don't go beyond your budget limit.

That is the worst thing to do while trading or gambling, this is because if you are gambling and you lose and lose again, the chase for the money the gambler has already lost will make the gambler lose more money. The best the gambler can do if he has lost in gambling is to just stop until he no longer thinks about the money and he should not see it as lost, it would be good if the person does not gamble that day again.

Compulsive gamblers always have the thought of getting rich through gambling and they could recover all their losses once they have one good hit which usually falls in more losses. As long as they have funds, they always follow their urge to gamble and are unwise when it comes to budgeting. If these things become a habit, a person's life could be a mess. Irresponsible gambling could easily ruin a person's life so as much as possible, we should lesrn how to control our urges.
