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.

You're pretty weird for me, never seen a gambling addict so proud that he/she is an addict. Also, I don't agree that you have a good control over your gambling because you've given away already that you are a gambler.

What you have to understand is that I don't spend more money than I allocate to gambling. I have a balance of $80 and I play nonstop in 4 hours or in one session but in the end my balance is almost exactly the same as the initial balance. Obviously I'm a gambling addict, but that doesn't mean what I'm doing has taken away control of my 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.

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.

Chasing your losses is a huge red flag, people that are gambling for fun and entertainment purposes know very well that they are going to lose some money while they're gambling, and this is completely natural and they can accept that fact, however those that are having some problems controlling their gambling cannot simply accept the fact that they lost and as such they begin to try to recover the money they lost suffering even more losses in the process, creating a vicious circle from which they cannot escape.

When you already have that kind of behavior on where you are already chasing your losses then its already an indicative thing that you are already addicted to gambling and you should get rid that thing off

if you dont like to mess up your life.Gambling addiction is something that you cant really just easily remove to oneself when you are caught with it.You would surely be minding on playing
and would itch out even on single day skipping on playing because you are already get used to it and having those intents on making big profits out of it which is really
a very wrong perception towards gambling.

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

That's why a gambler should have a limit to use money and loaning should be avoided since it potentially brings bad impacts. Money management isn't only for trading or investment, gambling also needs it. A gambler should know his limit to use money, if the allocation is over, kindly stop gambling at that time. Think about loaning once the funds are over, will be a disaster. As you said above, a gambler will be difficult to pay the loan. How he can pay the loan if he never wins? Even if he wins and gets the money, he will gamble again with the money because he thinks to get more prizes with bigger money. This is actually to happen if a gambler force to gamble with loan money.

Yeah this would be the worst thing to do of an gambler that making a decision for a big loan for just their Gambling. At this point the gambler show on how they are greed to gambling again in again because they are addicted to much in Gambling. They really abused on how to use the money without sentiment value of the worth of an money.

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

Wow. 20% is a huge part of the income in my opinion. I think you really love gambling if you are willing to spend that portion. And to be honest (maybe I’m from a poor country and don’t understand something Grin

) I cannot imagine the structure of expenses where gambling would take 20%. There should probably always be more important spending than this entertainment.

Less or more 20% on your monthly income wouldnt matter as long you do able to sustain yourself and since people does have different situation in terms of income and spending or lifestyle depending on where
you do lived.

20% is indeed a big portion into your monthly income which it should be less if you do really mind on prioritizing over things than with gambling.

Addiction is only happening when you are spending way more than in your limit.It wouldnt matter what percentage as long you do have the limit.

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).

There's a lot of signs either small or big and we have different signs based on different person, 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. These kind of things can be really alarming since it's the start of the actual addiction we should be observant on what's happening to us since if we are addicted already, we can't control it anymore.

Most atimes you need nothing to tell you you are addicted to gambling,your conscience will remind you,and a feeling of failure will envelop you.Addiction is a very strong spirit that's hard to overcome.Self realization and self discipline will help you overcome it.

Sorry mate but talking about addiction in gambling wont put conscience in situation because a addicted gambler leaves all the good traits and all that remains is the desire to gamble and gamble even what will be the consequences , I have few friends that had already experience this matter and observing them and also their stories proves how their good attitude leaves them out because of gambling desires .

In my opinion, unfortunately, self-discipline cannot help a person who suffers from gambling addiction ...

He is already sick. He needs to be treated. Many doctors believe that gambling addiction is not cured at all.

In my opinion, this is not the case. There is a chance to get rid of gambling addiction. However, this is the path of the brave. One addiction can be overcome with another addiction. I don't know any other option... There is another option, though!

Another option is to enter the monastery as a simple novice.

Heavy physical labor in nature.

Occupational therapy and prayer...

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.

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?

As I observed some of the Gambler never think what they spent in Game , and some others are they are greed to play the games and the just loss and that's the time that they can remember for all the money they spent in Gambling. Will it's true there's no wrong to be a gambler when we put our mind in a right thing , and this part will be the critical decisions involved about the money on how to spent in the game with a big Value.

Its a worse sign of addiction.
You are already into deep when you are giving collateral to ask loan for gambling purposes. It's beyond the line and when the loan shark ask for the money and interest, you already are in danger. Those guys can take your liver and sell it for you to pay. We've heard news of these casino loan sharks that are notorious for asking for a ransom to family members when you can't pay your loan.

That's a huge addiction there if you already into the part that you are asking for loan just for the sake of gambling,

and that is also a total stupidity , imagine taking a loan to risk and lose in gambling? what is the assurance that he will win to pay it back.

Quote

Not a good thing since those kind of situation is really possible, loaners who are notorious really deal with such kinds of actions,
best not exceed up to this point.

there are many cases that casino addicts are being abducted for their loan and the abductors asking their family to pay the debt with multiple interest .

Quote

Play and enjoy and best not to aimed for big amount, it will lesser the chance of getting addicted.

Indeed , right advice .

Somehow the inner voice in us won't be heard when we focused more on trying to get back the loss. The needier the person is of money the more he tries to bet hoping to earn back which discipline is ignored. I think most of us had experienced this before which is why the strategy like Martingale had been conceptualized by the kind of gamblers. Earning all back with just one big win is a smart idea so it's attracting us.

Continuing to think of strategies even when sleeping can put you in the category of mild gambling addiction.

Yep, it is not a normal thing anymore. How can someone continue to think about gambling strategy while sleeping? It is surely a sign of addiction. I bet he is too serious about gambling, so he spends too much time thinking about what should do to improve the chance to win in gambling. This must be avoided to secure every gambler from addiction. Don't be too excessive in gambling!

Exactly. It is a huge allocation for gambling. Although I love gambling, I won't spend 20% of my monthly income on gambling. I think 5% is more than enough to use for gambling since there are too many other things that are more urgent than gambling.

That's funny to think about those points you made above and I'm sure you can Tick mark all of them for me years back.
I do remember chasing loses and can't sleep just want to play, [one] those points can be check marked for a lot of gamblers if not all.
I can share my gambling recovery but that would be another story and would take this post offtopic.

Glad that you address your issue and recovers from addiction, having sleeplessness night because of anxiety of trying to recover from your losses is a serious sign, you developed an appetite for gambling that you can play hours and not aware on what's happening around you and don't care about the amount of money that you deposited, it's hard to get out from this trap it takes months to do that, but glad that you overcome it.

I think if you have reached the stage of thinking about gambling strategies while sleeping then you are already categorized as a moderate to heavy gambling addict. Mild addiction will only make you want to gamble when you see your friend gambling or something is affecting you and won't make you think about gambling when you want to sleep.

I love to gamble but I wouldn't spend more than 20% of my income on it. Gambling is indeed profitable, detrimental and also fun but if we do not have good control then everything will end in a sad way. Gambling is not just about winning or losing, but this will be far more fatal when they are not able to control their desire and money in gambling. There is no need to stop gambling if they are still capable enough to control and make themselves responsible gamblers. Just limit your money and desire to gamble and it will be fine.
