Controlling your emotions when you win and lose has got to be Golden. Not going online to beg for money to bet is another thing here.
Expecting either of a win or lose when you gamble shows your not aditced and when you lose you don't go about crying over the funds lost because you already have staked what you can afford to lose.
I can only get disappointed when the very last game of the ticket I staked or played goes wrong at the last minute of the game.
I gambled from a tender age and cope with whatever came in between and I never stole to.gamble.
Most Importantly, keep gambling fun and never gamble when you're pressured.

If these qualities of a gambler are seen in you, then obviously you’re not a regular gambler, but just an occasional gambler that just want to have more fun than to earn money, and clearly addiction is too far to happen if you play gambling like that. But on the other hand, if you gamble more for money than fun, that’s where addiction hits you bad. Because you are no longer in controlled with your actions and decisions, and the more you lose, the more you become more addicted to your habit.

Even if a person becomes addicted to gambling, it is unlikely that this person will recognize or admit that he or she is addicted to gambling, which is why in most cases of addiction, whether gambling addiction or cases of addictions to sex, alcohol, stealing, lying, cheating, who usually discovers that those people are addicted, are always the people who live closely with the person and this always leads to very intense fights because the person, when they are addicted, is their relative tells you that you are addicted, so the tendency is for the addict to rebel, act aggressively against the person who is accusing him of being addicted, these cases are very large, I myself have seen this a lot in my family

and see that in many cases the addict will even say that it is a lie that he is addicted, he will say that he can go months without doing that thing to which he is being accused of being addicted and when everyone is thinking that he is really talking to The truth is that he is not doing the thing he promised, we will see that he continues doing it but does it in such a way that no one sees it, that is, if he is a promoter who is not going to play in a casino, then he will be playing in secret until the day he that people discover that he is playing and lied, and when everyone finds out then the solution is to use force to admit him to a hospital for treatment

The characteristics that you mentioned are exactly right and indeed correspond to those who are addicted to gambling, and also this is the danger when they are too serious in looking at gambling by applying the wrong mindset and also too high expectations about a victory that will not always be in their favor. They seem willing to do everything just to gamble and of course there is no guarantee whatsoever to win, but strangely somehow they are very confident in making loans to other people including banks and of course they also sell some of their valuables, honestly if there are people like this then I say the level of addiction is very high. In addition, it is very difficult to recover if the addiction is like this, instead of getting the victory as they always expect but at the end of the story they are even worse off with a lot of debt or debt and well it is very possible that in the end they will be stressed or even commit suicide.

The question is, do you want to be in a position like that? I'm sure not, so from now on reconsider everything, change your wrong mindset as soon as possible, this is absolutely not a place to earn income but only for entertainment. I'm sure you know what's best for you, so change everything before it's too late.

There are so many signs to indicate that one is addicted to gambling such as incessant gambling even when he's not winning his stakes, selling of personal belongings just to raise capital for gambling, taking loans from banks and borrowing from close friends and relatives just to gamble and many others. But one popular character of gambling addicts is that they don't used to admit to the fact that they are addicted to gambling hence it is very difficult for people around them to help and stop their addiction in gambling. But no matter how difficult they tend to be, it's expected of anyone around them to help them see reasons on why they must stop their addiction in gambling

It was true that they would not want to accept the fact that he was a gambling addict. He will refuse it because he can still take good care of himself and not gamble beyond the limits he has set. But if someone always supervises him when he gambles and can show him the facts, maybe he will slowly admit that he has a gambling addiction, so they need help to cure his gambling addiction. But if a person can control himself while gambling and can restrain himself from crossing the line in gambling, that person doesn't seem to be addicted to gambling because he is really strict with himself not to gamble excessively.

Now it's easy to find the gambler is addicted to the gambling or not based on such basic things like this sign.You should not hurry to withdraw their funds from the gambling sites.Because the experience gambler will get the money after the winning with multiple number of times in the gambling sites.The most important one is not to target the loss after playing many games in the gambling sites.If the gambler trying to target the loss happened in the past,So the gambler was become the gambling addict and it was the sign of the gambling addiction.

Another thing is that a gambling addict will not accept the fact that it's addicted in gambling, so therefore let us just say that a gambling addict other people will inform him or her that his addicted in a gambling not that the person is afraid of gambling, so I will like you to understand the secret behind addicted gamblers, so many people who is addicted doesn't understand or observe themselves concerning gambling addict its people surrounded them do understand a gambling addict not the person in particular, do you know that you may not be a gambling addict but people will be thinking that you are a gambling addict.

If someone has a gambling addiction, they may not admit it and deny it if someone says they are already addicted to gambling. They don't want to be called gambling addicts even though it is clear that they are already gambling addicts. Yes, someone will not know when they have a gambling addiction because they only know how to gamble. But if they have good self-control from the start, they will not experience gambling addiction because they can prevent it from happening to them. Maybe those who are addicted to gambling need someone else to check whether they have experienced a gambling addiction or whether they are still safe in gambling. But even though they are still safe when gambling, they must remain vigilant and careful because gambling addiction can come at any time.

Yes I believe also that it is those who are addicted to gambling and don't make money from it that suffer from it, they keep regenerating money for the owners of game houses and casinos. But come to think of it, this circle of addiction won't stop because gambling has existed back in time and we have people who are newly converted into addiction on it while some have gotten help out of it.

Hence, the buttom line is it better to have tasted the negative aspect of gambling which of course is losing then you decide how to handle your gambling bankroll, emotion and greed.

I agree with this, there is a difference between gambling with leftover money and deliberately allocating money to gamble, in terms of intentions it is also clearly different. Honestly, I also wouldn't say that those who gamble only with leftover shopping money or leftover snacks cannot be said to be fully addicted because it is clear that it is like their accident that ends up using the money to gamble. If they gamble that way then I'd say they're normal, responsible gamblers and don't carry the mindset of other gamblers who are always "hoping and relying on that uncertain win".

Obviously, with a healthy mindset like that, they will definitely not experience any problems in their finances, and even if they experience problems, it will only be minor problems, self-control and a healthy mindset are the most important and congratulations you can avoid unwanted possibilities. And your assumption is very correct that this is not a place to earn income but just a place of entertainment to occasionally fill your spare time, it's better.

Gambling is not for everyone, I keep repeating this statement because there's a whole lot to learn about the system. It was designated to regenerate monetary revenue from gamblers who had 100% interest in the system. Addicts suffered the major negative factors of gambling, they are ready to wager everything valuable properties for gambling, sometimes I do wonder if they are in their right memory of reasoning. I've thoroughly studied myself and I don't fall into the category of gambling addiction, totally free and would wager at my own convenient time.

Well to an extent I came to understand your point on gambling with your spare money and not chasing your loses if you lose but to take it as though nothing much has happened. Yes such mindset is only exhibited by someone that is not a regular gambler and that is why it becomes a sign of non gambling addict. An addict has that strong will to keep chasing back his loses which is a major characteristics of all addicts and fun and entertainment are the primary drive for a non addict and he is scared and weak to take another try after losing, this has happened to me severally.

Knowing when to bet and when not to is a very important aspect of helping some one to not getting addicted, some persons don't know when to these thereby getting addicted, it's very much advised you try not to spend money ment for something else on gambling so you don't start chasing losses and gradually tend towards addiction unknowingly to you.

Controlling how much you spend on gambling also is a means of keep yourself in check to know if you are already addicted or not, if you spend almost half of your income gambling, there maybe possible chances of you getting addicted so maybe you should take a break for a while and rest maybe some other time you can continue because if you allow your sef continue you may loose so much you become addicted.

Responsible gambling still remains key if you must not be addicted. There is a point where you get and think you are not addicted but your are gradually becoming especially when you often use your gambling apps or sites on a daily basis such that they become part of your routine, you may not be spending much on it but then you are becoming addicted unknowingly but if you use them less frequently then most likely you may not be addicted.

It's your concentration in gambling if its highly more than any other things you that is to show that you are gambling addictive, so what I wanted us to understand in gambling is when you seen gambling addictive you will know that this person is addicted in gambling and secondly its very obvious and very clear that to see the sign of someone who likes participating in gambling more than any other things its very simple and easier to see, right now I notice that some people who is addicted in gambling does not know exactly when they are addicted in gambling and when you inform them that they are addicted with gambles they disagree with you, but in summary your concentration in gambling determine if you are addictive or not.

Well, it’s like if you gamble with your only spare money, that’s a sign that you’re not into gambling addiction. And once you lose them all, you know that it’s time to go home and leave the casino without any regression. If your mindset is like this, then you will have no financial problems when it comes to gambling, and whenever you decide to gamble, you know that it’s just for fun and entertainment purposes, not actually to earn a living or recover all what you have lost.

In addition to the above-mentioned list you just gave @ O.P, I think another sign which shows that you are not addicted to gambling is "No unnecessary borrowing of money" from friends or family members just to please your gambling desire. And likewise "Gambling with the amount you can always afford to lose" is another sign you are not addicted, because unlike an addicted fellow, he/she will always want to gamble, not minding the amount been spent.

much credit to you for making a list like this, its very comprehensive enough.  some people have been to avoid being addicted just because they can control themselves. this self control to me seems like one of the best points in there. this will help you not to go deep into gambling that you just do it once a while or  do it responsibly. once you are going above your limit, see that you cant control yourself again and you are taking it like a source of income then there is a high sign of addiction coming.

True. It will still depend on the person using it. I actually have seen one and sadly he is one of my friends. Went here with other friends to visit me and I was truly shocked when I realized he was not talking to anyone while we were enjoying drinking alcohol and just sharing our stories after a year of not seeing each other.
He just keeps on playing a slot game on his smartphone and he only pauses when he is out of online money, that's when he will talk to me just to buy online cash then he will pay me with hard cash.
I was sad and talk to him about that  because I realized he is now an addict but it's hard to right what he got used too and he had a lot of wrong reasoning that he throws like he is winning sometimes. The house will always win so I didn't believe that.

Correct. When you get into gambling, you should first understand that it's highly risky to begin with. Firstly, you might end up losing a lot of money. Secondly and perhaps even more concerning there's the possibility of developing an addiction and that would lead to further financial losses and potentially causing serious issues in your real life. These problems can extend beyond just financial issues but also it could impact your mental as well.

In fact, I knew some gamblers who have ended up in jail or even attempting to suicide. So, before you start gambling, take a moment to reflect on whether you're truly prepared to put your money on it even tho there's nothing guaranteed or not. I mean I'm not talking for people who gamble for fun but for those who are serious about getting into gambling and think that they could be millionaires.
