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.

That's what must be taken care of and can limit yourself from your finances 20% for me, that's enough indeed if from your income and I also arrange like this so that it's not excessive when I want to play again then I will not interfere with any strategy in gambling because this will be our minds and try gambling again even though we have spent 20%.
And indeed I will not stop gambling if my emotions are still controlled even I can still not cross the specified limit so I may be a light addict but I never think there is and there is always a limit wherever I play it.

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

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.

No longer mild indeed! with kind of mindsets what else you think while you are fully awake? If gambling keeps circling inside you
then addictions is already present.

Hard to stop or control but you must do all the best that you can do to counter this kind of malfunctions inside your system.
Best to find other important things to keep yourself busy and to avoid continuing to think about your gambling strategies.
Work for your own sake, it's really hard to move on once you get too much engagements with this kind of activities.

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?

Continuing to think of strategies even when sleeping can put you in the category of mild gambling addiction. just be grateful for your victory today, don't ever think you can win more today. stop playing at the right time is proof that you are not addicted to gambling, love your personal life and also your money, why make it difficult for yourself.

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,

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.

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

Signs of gambling addiction is on when,

>you cant sleep and just want to play
>finding ways to have money and wont be satisfied until you lost it all
>chasing loses
>Impulsive

Main traits that you can see and would really tell that you are already addicted to it and this is something
which is really hard to get rid of once you get addicted.

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.

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.

Those signs of addiction can happen to people who can not manage their emotions and themselves and maybe many more signs that we do not know if that is happening to the addicted person to gambling.
The eagerness to recover the loss in gambling can be one of the signs but if he does not have a big passion always to recover the loss, maybe that is a small sign among the other signs.
But if you always think about gambling, how passionate yourself when playing gambling, you have a big hope to win the game someday, and you continue playing gambling without taking a break, even for just 1 day, maybe that is the sign of the addiction to gambling.

Back when I was gambling uncontrollably, to the point that I usually spend even my budget for rent and groceries, I had this heavy feeling in my head, like a cloud was cast over me and every time I lose it just becomes more apparent. I know this may not be an obvious sign that everyone suffering from gambling addiction could experience yet this is one of the most annoying things I felt when I was at that situation. Aside from this, I also began forgetting things that I otherwise would've easily remembered, additionally, I also frequently had thoughts about gambling and how I can make it better for me. Only was able to get past from it when I started undergoing therapy and so far, I can say that the experience led me to become a much more responsible gambler.

These are very common and most people who have been addicted to gambling have most likely experienced this. Including the fact that your brain will not settle into something else unless you find a way to distract it or connect it to gambling. Not a very pleasant experience really.

Something funny happened to me today as I spent quite a bit of time just gambling just over 4 hours nonstop at this morning. I didn't win anything but I didn't lose either because in the end the total balance I had when I quit was almost exactly the same as when I made the deposit. Obviously I was bored for almost the last 1 hours before quitting but I was quite satisfied today even though I didn't win anything and it was a bit of fun. I am a gambling addict, but obviously I have good limits at this point in the use of money.

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.

Addicted but with self-control, this one is also new to me.
The dictionary says that an addict is a person who: Fits very well into a lifestyle that is often harmful or unusual.

You may have pretty good self-control over how much money you spend on gambling, but how much time did you waste on it?

You assumed that you only spent 4 hours playing today and even though you didn't lose it you didn't gain anything either, 4 hours in front of the computer just to satisfy your pleasure.
You're not losing money, but you're wasting time that could make you more money, think about it and control yourself more.

I think people who are addicted to gambling usually can't control themselves, if people can still control themselves when playing gambling,
they shouldn't be addicted. Then spending time playing gambling for 4 hours is still normal for me, the most important thing is not done
every day and interfere with daily activities. I agree that we can control how much money is spent gambling, but we can't control the time
spent gambling. This is a matter of concern and must be changed immediately.

I agree about the best bet, it's when you've planned and decided to gamble because you've allocated the right time and budget for it. It is what it is when gamblers are doing it correctly and that is when they've made the decision and that's what discipline is.
It may seem to be a small advise about avoiding to drink when you gamble but it impacts a lot whether you gamble physically or online because it can affect your decision making when you do such at the same time.

I know the feeling personally, if you have some alcohol inside you the aggressions conquers your attitude,
instead of managing your fund the right way most of the time, you exceed from your limits and lose your money.

If you have clear minds and you are good in managing yourself, playing or gambling might favor you in terms of picking the
games that you have good understanding, the chance is much better.

There are signs of addictions especially if you are no longer in control or if you can't manage exceeding from your budgets.

Yes, you become more aggressive and that's why stories that I've heard before when they're too aggressive, they've lost more money because even if they were aware of what they do. They cannot stop themselves from doing it. The sign of being an addicted gambler is adding more impact if you par it with alcoholic drinks. Whether you stay at home, you shouldn't do that since you're free to do everything that you want, you shouldn't have done it so.

I would say another indicator for an addiction is if you really never can accept a loss when you gamble. I am not talking about people who don't like to lose games, nobody likes to lose games. But in gambling it is also important to be able to call it a day. Even more so in Poker when you realize you get tilted, the best thing you can do is to accept you lost and wait for another day with a better mental condition. If you just can't stop and always try to win back what you lost, I would say that is certainly one of many indicators you are at least very prone to addiction.

This is a huge red flag, I think we all have lost at some point a poker hand that was almost won and the other player had almost no chance to win it and then they did and we got mad about it, many books about poker recommend the person to skip the next few hands to recover mentally from the loss even if you have good cards, but I have seen many times when something like this happens to a player and they want to recover immediately all the money they lost, so they make yet another mistake and lose the rest of their capital because of it.

Losing to a one or two outer is devastating, especially if there is a lot of money involved. We probably all have seen it, thinking we won and then discover the last card that will make us lose to get turned over on the river. The more we play poker the more we should get immune against such bad beats. Even though we lost that pot we should always make the same decision. If we get the same situation 10 times, we would be winning 9 of them. So if we lose we should be happy to make the right call and play good poker.

This is difficult to understand for the average poker player, naturally most poker players only care about the end result and whether or not they won or they lost money, what it seems to go past them is that in poker and in many other things in life the most important thing is the process itself, if you took the right decisions and you put yourself in a position to win even if you lost the decisions that you took were the correct ones because as you say if you keep playing like that 9 times out of 10 you will win those kind of hands.

Haha at the first glance I also have the same thought like you, it's kinda weird plus rarely to see someone being proudly present himself as a gambling addict. Perhaps what makes him being proud of it was his self-control and not his addiction, IMO literally that was good enough self-control from him by didn't burn all of his funds towards the casino.

Theres two main costs to gambling, money and time. Set a budget for both or either and you will likely avoid drifting into some habit that is uncontrolled. If not especially disciplined to do either limitation then keep your bets small and varied rather then big bet on outcomes hoping for a pay off. The best betting is regular and planned over time, avoid drinking while betting or while drunk is also advisable as that would throw the plan out the window. Best rule overall is just have a set budget, only bet upto that point and resolve to come back another day not every game will be won.

Having good self-control management is very much needed at the gambling table...

go home immediately when lose or win is an action that must be done by players when playing gambling. Don't get caught up with greedy thoughts that keep enticing you to play, immediately beat that thought if it arises when you play gambling.

I don't get, you neither lost nor gain... are you trying to say that, your profit and lose margin where proportionate or there is some welcome bonus that was used for the bets you actually played and when it was getting to your actual deposit, you had to end the gambling session.
If it was about the first, then it's a wow situation as, that's not what you encounter everyday. Should it have have about the second scenario, then it means you did actually made some loses in the bonus because, it was yours and you've lost them. Aside from that, gambling is still gambling and remains a game of luck and high stakes. One can get addicted easily when not well cultured or disciplined.
