Is seeking a new strategy or thinking of betting while you are sleeping signs of addiction? If not, what are little signs that unfold you are becoming a gambling addict?

Anxiety and irritability are just two of the signs, they cannot wait to get online to play and they save money for their gambling activities to the point that, they steal or loan money just to gamble, when they exceed the allocation, that's a sure sign that they are very much into gambling and have lost their control.

Irritability and been rushing up on things just for them to play is really a main indication that you are already addicted to gambling but its already too late to save up yourself but

actually you can really make out self realizations and could really stop on your own rather than on seeking out someone to help you out.

If you don't like to get shackled with gambling addiction then before making engagement to gambling then you should be aware on the tendency on making yourself addicted.

No need to be that far to call someone is addicted to gambling or any other thing such as drug or alcohol. Sign of addiction is simple, when someone is unable to control himself and want to do it again and again without caring about other thing then he is addicted already. When you cant start and stop of doing something wisely, it is a simple sign of addiction.

Well that's just dumb, not everyone who can control themselves are addicted.

Do you realized that you are quoting it wrongly ? tthose people that cannot control themselves are addicted and not those who can.

How about the people that have ADHD or in the Autism spectrum, they have a hard time concentrating thus they sometimes have no control. There's a big reason why we need those signs, to prevent misdiagnosis and make it awkward to someone.

People with ADHD must not gamble at all and that is what we must understand because they are the kind of people that will surely become addicted.

this happens to me before . i dreamed of betting and then winning the jackpot but later i woked up and realized its only just a dream .
i felt so bad but dreaming of creating a strategy ? that was crazier but both of this two is a sign of getting addicted to gambling because your over thinking of it the whole day or you have been gambling all day .
this is not healthy anymore and we need to minimize our gambling activity before it gets worst

I don't think that it's going to be that you have a problem, it's normal to dream about especially if you're really gambling, does the dream make you impede or drain you? If not then you don't have to worry about anything because you are probably not suffering from addiction unless there's more to it than what you aren't saying in this forum.

Gamblers don't realize they are addicted to gambling until it's worse which they've done unthinkable already like breaking the piggybank of his kid just so he could gamble again. But you as a gambler can also notice it to yourself before you get to the worse situation like selling valuables like jewelry so you could play again.

It is not that they don't realize but it is that They don't want to accept being addicted and this is the worldwide problem of gambling .

Wait thinking while Sleeping ? meaning are you dreaming ? or in bedtime?

If you are thinking while before sleeping then that is already addiction because instead of thinking for what food to buy for tomorrow what you are planning is another expenses.

Once a gambler starts getting addicted he/she knows but refuses to admit. It's just like a drunkard who would clearly say he/she isn't drunk but has been fully intoxicated by the drink. It's quite easier to deal with addiction at early stage but once it's becoming excessive self exclusion becomes the only therapy and it's still not a guarantee for a proper check but it helps out most times

It is normal to see some people say that because they do not want to be blamed because they play gambling too much. They will deny that they are addicted to gambling, but if a person can talk privately to that person and explain how he already changed, maybe that addicted person will know and ask how to solve the addiction matter. Maybe it needs a simple approach to that addicted person so they can open their minds and see what is wrong with them and want to change their habit in gambling games.

Gamblers who are addicted in the beginning will basically never realize that they have entered into an addiction and this is different from those who are drunk on alcohol and drugs. Because they will only really enjoy gambling, as long as there is still money that can be used to gamble without realizing whether it is addicted or not. Those who can realize gambling addiction are only those who have got their lives messed up, because after their lives are messed up because of gambling they will try to get out of gambling addiction and at that time they will realize that they are really controlled by gambling.

Maybe some of them who feel their lives are messed up will know that something wrong happens to them and decide to stop gambling for a while. But the other will not realize instead searching for the other money to continue gambling. Sometimes those people use the money for their daily life to be used for gamble. If that is the case, those gamblers will slowly become addicted to gambling and no one care about them, and they will become heavily addicted someday. The sign will be there, but that will depend on how they can see what really happens to them.

Probably it's the same as any addiction I think, if you are hurting your family in any way, physically or mentally then you are probably an addict already. Let's not forget also that if you aee also hurting yourself in the process physically or mentally, that can be a sign too but that's a difficult one to diagnose yourself because you will be in denial so help externally can be pretty powerful.

I am very familiar with both depression and gambling addiction. Depressed people can only improve their emotional state with the help of medical professionals or antidepressants or they are doomed to suffer all their lives. No one has ever beaten depression by going to a casino.

I know that and I am not trying to say that casinos can cure depression, what I was trying to say is that depressed people find ways to have some sort of rush felt inside them and at the same time have self destructive behavior and gambling can cater both am I right?

People who are deeply depressed are not interested in visiting gambling sites or other entertainment. I will say more, such people are not looking for ways to feel a burst of energy. They are constantly in a depressed state and absolutely nothing pleases them. So if you are able to get out of depression by playing blackjack or slots this is the first sign of gambling addiction but not depression.

Never happen to me but there are dreams that I got to find a Bunch of paper bills in trash can , and when i woke up? i tried to look around where did i put the money lol.
Surely this is not a sign of addiction but sign of desperation because that time i really badly need funds for billings .

When you are losing money and you get irritated this is a serious sign of gambling addiction, gambling has more losing streak than a winning streak and when you have a losing streak you'll get depressed and will suffer financial difficulty, you will not get depressed if you are making money from gambling, your whole mind is on how to recover all your losses.

I think this is a normal reaction of loser mate , even not addicted will feel this way when they are continuously losing right?

But the way they seek money over and over again to sustain His losing streak ? that is the sign of addiction.

Correct.

But this kind of habit will lead to addiction. When you're irritated or disappointed, you will take your revenge (winning back your money) or you will continue to try and try it again until you get what you wanted, and that's gonna blind you. You will slowly going to be addicted on it without you noticing, because you think you're just playing just like the usual, but the usual thing you do is the sign that you're addicted to it already.

Time after time, the effects on it to you would become worst, that's the only time you'll realize that you dived too deep in gambling.

Indeed , Winning back the losses will always lead us to losing more and this will lead us also to Addiction .
the more you desire to win back is the more you made wrong decisions .

Best to let the Bad luck pass for at least a day or 2 and then come back to play , maybe that time Luck will be your friend.

Gambling addiction has always being compared to the other addiction but it's true that it's the same as the others that the person being addicted to it cannot resist it anymore. At the early stage, it's not yet that much addiction and it can still be stopped with the help of the gambler himself and if not, getting reinforcement from the help of others will certainly give him the help that he needs. But if worse gets worst, that would be hard to tackle because the gambler has to accept that he's in serious condition and he has to admit that he's an addicted gambler. And if not seen a self acceptance of his current status, that will be really difficult for him to overcome it.

That is the worst feeling ever, the only thing that turns on your mind is to find the money for gambling more. A similar physiological urge can be found in meth addicts, there is nothing more valuable than gambling when the addiction urge kicks in. The worst part of the story is to sell valuable belongings to continue chasing losses, that is why I don't support Youtube fake stream videos that push ordinary people to casinos with lucrative promises.

Thus, if you value your money, then you can never be in gambling. But somehow, people are gambling just want to please themselves, either they get home with losses or winning, it was not important for them at least they enjoyed. But if your goal in doing gambling is to win (the main reason by most) you can't decline any possibility that we just hook up by addiction. And those videos that we can see on youtube are a sort of marketing strategy, it is a sort of market promotion, and it's up to us if really believe what they showed on youtube.

Regarding the fake streaming videos, by checking the "pragamtic play" stamp over the right corner of the stream you can see it is fake or not. IIRC, only the Pragmatic Play website let the users to buy the bonuses on the website and you can create your own stream videos with a "big win" title. For experienced gamblers, it is easy to detect but not everyone is aware of the situation unforuntately.

...

What more can I say? It is really on yourself if you will get addicted to something. No one can limit your activity but yourself. So no one is to blame but yourself from the time you decide to be addicted in gambling. There are initial signs and if you ignore those signs, you will go deeper up until it is hard to get out of the situation. You need to look out for yourself so if you feel you are heading to the wrong direction, initiate the change. Because no one will do it for you.

You would really be ending up on those consequences if you do really let yourself get down or hooked with addiction since we arent that dumb, we can really detect ourselves to be already gradually addicted along the way.

You can feel or see the signs but yourself would really be continuing to deny it since no one does really ever like to be called a gambling addict until the time comes that everything was already in mess.

and this is where people do start to realize that they had spend that much but its already too late to make some action.

How deep is the rabbit hole?

Twinkledoe tell me do you have any addictions?! It's what can you say... and tell me do you know the definition of "addiction"?

Everything you said is nice, it's up to us... on you and me, and everyone else! It's something I said if you read my lines more carefully... it's not only about gambling, all this can be applied to life, and all life activities, including gambling!

Dufinda consequences are part of life... everything we do (action) has some reaction (consequence)! That means that we need to learn how to make the right action to get a positive reaction! But that learning process can't be without making mistakes and wrong moves here and there... everyone, all of us, literally everyone... must fall few times before we learn to walk!
