me sometimes I'm playing dice game on my mind which it leads me on playing dice game even if I already use my gambling budget.

Sorry but LOL.

This is really a sign of addiction that you are even playing on your mind and you can't resist not to think about dicing. I just find it funny but this is a sad reality that's really happening to many gamblers.

I would understand if it's a physical dice that he actually rolls the dice by his hand but online dice? I can't imagine adjusting and click 2x in my mind. I'm not sure if it's addiction. You really have a photographic memory of the interface of the casino before you could actually do this.

Well.

Just thinking it on his mind, that's already a sign that he's into it and really an addiction that he has to moderate.

Good wives/husbands do not allow a family to break up because of any addictions of one family member. Such problems need to be solved together because a gambling addict is not able to cope alone. If the family is falling apart then it is likely that there are more serious problems within the family than gambling addiction.

This kind of awareness should be applied by everyone, not stay away from an addicted family member. but problems like this are sometimes inversely proportional and people who become addicted will feel isolated and even shunned by other family members.
and what happens is that it is true that it will be very difficult for the addict to change his attitude and even more so when this (shunned family) happens.
at least a moral approach and motivational advice will be more useful than rejection

You cant really blame out those family members because majority of them wont really be that aware that one of the family is already addicted to gambling unless if they do really have some tracks

about his activity or aware that they've been doing gambling then they would surely be having some hint on whats going on but if not then its really hard to determine if they do really have some problems
or not.

You cant definitely tell if someone is already addicted to gambling if they do play silently.Its true that as part of family we should really be sensible into these kind of things.

Addiction could be a life devastating if you won't find a way to stay away from addiction, it surely ruins everything you have, not only if financial matter but might be possible with your relationship. a lot of couple have a break up because of this because once who hook up into addiction, you will forgot your responsibility as a man or as a father.

So true! there are many broken families because of this vice, addiction cause mental damage a person who have this case is no longer thinking the normal way.

If you already seen yourself keep following your instinct not missing any gambling events, and if inside your mind it's always strategy or a possible winning team that urging you to bet in.

That's a good sign that you need to stop or you need to ask help from your love ones, better to stop this before getting to deep and suffer
in the long run.

I really welcome your statements. Yes, a guy who is addicted, can not be left unsupported. One can overcome from his or her addiction by the support of his family members. Yes, I was addicted to drinks and smokes but certainly i was not a chain smoker. However, my wife said, drink and smoke when I am at home but not anywhere else. This was really encouraging and yes I followed her instruction. She was besides me when i was drinking. But I started feeling that since i can drink and smoke in house, i skipped to go out for smokes and drinks. Then often i was reminded of drinks by my wife when i crossed wine shops. But i did not feel drinking. Yes this helped me leave these habits. This has been more than 5 months since i have taken my drinks.

Yes, family members can change anything upon one's will to do so.

I think that in such families there is simply no love, because if you truly love someone you will do anything to have them with you. Gambling addiction is not the most serious problem you can face in life. Especially, there are many specialized centers that will help cope with this problem.

Exactly! I don’t get why people state that gambling addiction ruins families so often, that says a lot about the willingness of family members to help each other overcome problems. In some cases, there can be alcohol or drug abusers, or people with psychiatric disorders, but you don’t abandon them for that, IMO it’s very wrong.

I see one reasonable option for spending such a large part of income on gambling - if a person has huge savings and current income does not have much influence on his life, then if he wants, he can even spend 100 percent on gambling. All other options look dubious to me, although I am not saying that this is an addiction, just a wrong decision (in my subjective opinion).

Only those person who has a huge savings and current income are for sure who has also the guts to over spend or lets say it is only a part of their excess money. For them it was an excess money but for us or personally speaking for me a 20% of income to allot for my entertainment or gambling activities is such a huge amount. We may take over spending as gambling addiction which is definitely true but for me I look for myself a sign of not having a good sleep at night while keep on thinking of my gambling activities.

The general rule is that, only gamble away the money that you are willing to spend on. If you rely on gambling as a means for a source of income, then chances are that you would lose more money on the process.

Remember that if you rely on a source of income that is measured by odds and risks, then there can be no absolute stable flow of income on your end. You would end up having to bet more than you actually planned for which can result in accumulation of long term debts.

Wrong decision and addiction is just pretty much same in my opinion, unless you never try it again, because if your wrong decision keeps on repeating, that's definitely an addiction without a doubt. Losing 100% of your income is insanely bad for you since you'll have no more for yourself as well as your bills. You cannot say to your bills to wait because you've lost your money in gambling, that's very not valid.

One sign is you can't let pass the week without placing a single bet or you can't let pass a week without engaging to any types of gambling activities like placing a small bet in lottery or placing bet on sports betting, for me this is already a sign of addiction since you can't let pass a week without engaging to gambling activities but there's a lot of signs but I think it depends on the person.

If you are no longer finding entertainment out of the games you play, and you are purely playing to chase profits and/or to recover losses, then you could very much be a problem/addicted gambler.

You should definitely set the correct expectations and have a healthy mindset before you start playing.

Treat gambling as a form of entertainment, and any spreads/house edges should be viewed as the fees you pay for that entertainment - just like any other admissions tickets you pay for.

I once had a friend who borrowed money from me to play gambling, in fact to this day he has never paid it
after all gamblers have limits and when they borrow money for gambling then it is a nightmare for them as well as the lenders

Stop playing when the capital has lost a lot is not an easy matter but it is much wiser if that is what do
Gambling addicts' common sense has dulled making it difficult for many people, especially families

I had that experience, but I never ask about paying that money because after he got the money from me, he just disappeared from home as his family and I do not know where he lives now. We do not even know how his condition is now as we do not care about him anymore because we already suggest many things before he attracts deeper to gambling and always denies that he is addicted.

Another way to know the sign is the eagerness to recover your loss,which is always never possible.it is impossible to recover your loss money,instead you will loose more money.Another sign is giving collateral when you don't have money to pay again.

A gambling addicts always thinks he/she can recover his/her lost by playing more. But as you stated, is always impossible. Losing control of yourself on gambling is also a sign of gambling addiction. Some people get into fraud just to get money they will use to Gambling.

Addiction grows In stages it first start as a suggestion where you start imagining deep in your mind how you will win a mega jackpot if not controlled it grows into a habit at this point it's gradually gaining it's way to your lifestyle at this point you are gradually giving in to gambling fully and if help doesn't come quick it becomes an addict. I wish the help for gambling addicts were in every nation because some countries don't really care.

This is really a sign of addiction that you are even playing on your mind and you can't resist not to think about dicing. I just find it funny but this is a sad reality that's really happening to many gamblers.

It was like that and with this discussion then at least he could realize if he had any signs of gambling addiction. In the past, with not many discussions like this on social media that I found, at least this kind of thing is difficult for me to realize about a mind that has been controlled by gambling is a sign of addiction. Because of that awareness, at least he had understood what steps should be taken to erode such thoughts in his brain, because if it continued to be a thought then he would also continue to try it in gambling.

I have no idea how clearly defined the word "addiction" in medicine is, but I would guess that whatever addiction you have, it does medically imply that you have lost control over something or have a so called deficit in exerting control over yourself in certain areas of life. If you play with your 80 bucks and you bankroll always stays the same, I wouldn't call you an addict as you obviously don't fall victim to certain behaviors that addicts are well known for, like winning back what you just lost at all cost and so on.

This. Addiction simply means that you don't want anything to control you on how you actually want to spend or play something. Having a set plan or something is actually not a sign of addiction, it's actually the opposite. Addiction also shows signs of actually losing control, not just from others, but also from yourself. Storing money wouldn't stop you, people not lending you wouldn't stop you, heck you'd probably ask on the moment when you're on the brink of bankrupt something like "oh sht, I don't have money to gamble for the next day" instead of thinking that you need money for food to live.

It's simply the priority of the individual. Someone just realizes he doesn't have any money left but manages to take a loan and gamble again means his priority is not eating to live another day.
