Well, talking about this topic, I believe that all things is random, and we cannot get something 100% assertive, because each human being/gambler can have a type of characteristic, or maybe a compilation of it all.
Inattentiveness, irritability, decreased focus, anxiety, or similar symptoms.
But of course not ALL addicts will have these symptoms, perhaps a portion.
Each human can responds in a certain way with respect to a certain stimulus.
I believe that a way to have a more precise answer would be read some scientific articles/papers in platforms about this theme.

there are professional gamblers, they are very disciplined people, they are very social people, you can see them on youtube and they are people who live on gambling and from what I can tell they are not addicts. everything in this world depends on how we use ourselves. if we abuse and exaggerate and if we don't use knowledge then we can go down a wrong path, in the case of gambling people just need to have self control. such as alcohol, food, sex, politics... everything can make someone addicted if they don't have self-control.

Professional Gamblers may already know how to control their activities and actions when betting however it is not always the case as they sometimes slip and try to over bet. The same people we see online have already experienced these and even documented some of their activities. Actually, there are some live videos where they've reacted to their gambling game and even admitted that they were too confident and provoked by others and regretted making those bets. By the way, I am talking about famous professional gamblers on card casino games.
Also, Only a few of these gamblers are very social people and would rather to limit their space to a few number of people they know.
I believe the opportunist are alway in hunt for the prey. They are looking around how to fool people and how to gain edge over othersAlso, Only a few of these gamblers are very social people and would rather to limit their space to a few number of people they know.
I have seen people who are using people for their works or benefit. They are also snubbing and bashing them for not being of any use.

It is very risky if someone spends all their time in gambling just to make money every day without any other work they do. It is not the right thing to make gambling a field for making money. there are several options that must be avoided from gambling addiction from themselves, one of which is by staying away from an environment filled with gamblers. But some of them are difficult to do because someone is an active gambler, their brain is like being washed by a gambling machine, so it is very difficult to stay away from gambling activities.
on the other hand it is very easy for us to know someone who is addicted to online gambling because their daily activities are just hanging out with fellow gamblers and they are far from together, their activities tend to prefer solitude.

And paying when you don't have money to pay. And dealing with all the mood swings and tantrum for a person like me it is very hard to deal with.

I highly agree with you, and experienced gamblers who use gambling as their main source of income know this, since they know this, they got the audacity to challenge the house and make gambling their main source of income.

As I stated, people who make use of gambling engagement as source of income is way more careful than any other gambling player. I do agree that there are better ways to a source of income, but in terms of turning into a compulsive gamblers, they are less likely to get addicted because
1. They always plan their action
2. They make a careful approach in every bet they made.
3. They manage their bankroll really well to not get busted as soon as they engage in their gambling activity
4. They have complete control of their time
5. They don't chase losses, if they feel that it isn't their day they just stop and go home. Or linger a little longer for socialization.
I agree with the risk of the environment but I bet these type of gambler know how to handle the risk around. Else, they won't be in the industry if they failed to adapt in this risky environment.
But some of them are difficult to do because someone is an active gambler, their brain is like being washed by a gambling machine, so it is very difficult to stay away from gambling activities.

Don't misunderstood a gambling addict pretending to think that he is gambling because it is his source of income. The person who knows his stuff knows how to deal with the risk around him.

Easily irritated. That's what I mostly see from friends not just addicted to gambling but with other habits too. i.e. smoking, alcohol.
It's a natural response when they have no money left to gamble or to spend on whatever they are obsessed about.
I too am easily irritated if I'm on a losing streak. That's how it goes when I gamble and I know that it feels the same for the others. And having other vices, well, that's going to make it worse for the others that can't contain their craving to gamble and have nothing left anymore in the pocket.It's a natural response when they have no money left to gamble or to spend on whatever they are obsessed about.
At least for me when I'm irritated, I just felt being a loser and that's the feeling that makes me irritable but eventually it will be gone as the time passes, I'll just think of any other good thing to move on.

Supposedly gambling should give you entertainment but since many gamblers treat this as their main source of income
I pity those that see gambling as the main source of their income, I even pity those that see gambling as a source of income, what do happen at the end is that they will find themselves losing. Those are the people that will later be using the amount they can not afford to lose to gamble and become addicted and gambling become a problem for them.I disagree with your sentiment. Those who see gambling as a source of income are far more careful than any other gambler. They are the people who always plan their actions not to get completely busted in their gambling session. Since they don't have any other means of earning, they will definitely make the best decision in every bet they made. I believe that they are also the ones who are less likely to get addicted because they will always give ample thought to their every gambling action.
On the contrary, those who seek entertainment are more likely to become addicted because of the dopamine effect. Those who are hooked with the entertainment and the huge reward might strive to play longer and might possibly lose control of the time element in chasing big wins. Losing control of time element in gambling is one sign of becoming a gambling addict.
The best way towards have a good gambling experienced is when you see gambling as an high risk way of losing money and only set the amount you can afford to lose for it and this can be possible if the person realize that gambling is not a way to earn money.

People get addicted if they do not discipline themselves, if they have no source of income, if they are not busy with something else. But if they discipline themselves, they will not be addicted.
Some people said that because a gambler win is the reason they get addicted, but that is no. Addicts can first lose, then win and lose again, but hoping to be successful in gambling is the reason they are addicted.
To stay not being addicted, it is always good to know that you can not be successful with gambling, that makes you always think that you should use just little amount that you can afford to lose to gamble.
If a gambler always realize that only the house takes advantage on gambling, then he won’t be gambling for money but more on for pleasure and fun. Otherwise, he’ll end up falling into gambling addiction, yet unsatisfied with the profits he gained.Some people said that because a gambler win is the reason they get addicted, but that is no.

I believe that gambling addicts never imagine theirselves going there, but since they gamble without discipline that made them lose everything, they start chasing for losses until they end up being addicted in it.

The characteristics of a simple gambling addiction can be seen from the desire to increase the value of the bet, the difficulty to stop, the dependence to continue betting even though you have lost repeatedly.
Sometimes factors that don't work make us bored, so most people choose online slot gambling to play. At first it was just a fad, but over time it became a habit and was hard to leave.

In my opinion, the first sign of gambling addiction is that the person regrets the lost money but again and again visits the gaming platform in the hope that today he is lucky and winnings will contribute to changing his life for the better. He comes to the casino not to enjoy the game, but for the result, which often turns out to be not what he expects.
The manifestation of stress, depression, gambling with credit money, etc. is already a neglected degree of gambling addiction which is very difficult to cope with alone.
When this happens then gambling is actually something that is very difficult to get rid of and addiction will not be prevented.
and hope that they could able to fold for how many times of those particular amounts that they had without even thinking about the risk and probabilities for them to lose those amounts instead
of earning knowing that gambling isnt really giving out assurance for you to win. Addiction is something that had been molded due to these kind of aims and mindset towards gambling.
If you do really believe that you could make yourself rich with gambling then you would really be having this kind of approach and dealing with it.

I said that because I feel them as I was also in the same position when I was smoking nonstop before. When I have no more money to buy a cigarette pack I get irritated and most of the time you cannot even talk to me as my brain just functions on how I can grab money to buy smoke.
You will definitely think about bad stuff when you are in that dilemma.

Those who don't have discipline and have a lot of money to spend is the one that always fell into addiction, not all people who used to gamble sometimes because most of them for sure, just trying their luck and it's all done.. 
What I'm trying to say is it's impossible to happen to some people that has financial problems and lack of source of income because for them at the first place its very skeptical way to make profits. So the one that becomes addicted in gambling will be the rich people. And its their problem why they all have addiction because if they consider it as a risky way of making money, then surely they will not end up in such situation.. Lol
Not necessarily people who are addicted to gambling are rich because by offering gambling to many people to be able to make money from gambling, many of them want to play gambling. Those who can't control themselves will become addicted because they keep trying their luck. Gambling addiction is just a matter of time for people who cannot stop and quit gambling and once they are addicted it will be difficult to overcome. They will keep playing non-stop and won't notice it until it's all gone.

It cant be that you can get addicted to online lottery or even offline lottery because it is hard to win in this game and then the drawings do also takes time but for slots and other games which results can be instantly seen, yes and it's also more easier to win on them. I do gamble when I am stressed out but this doesn't mean that I am one of those who are addicted to gambling.
In gambling, I believe that it's not only about money or profit which can make players come back on a gambling place but it can also be because of the graphics or the theme of the game that they are playing. This gives them a good feeling or what we called a dopamine.
