I do not know about you guys, but I gamble because I like it and because it is a hobby as well as an addiction. I'm good with myself, as I already admitted to having an addiction but tried to find and apply techniques to avoid getting off track and spending all of my money on gambling. It's quite easy for me to control my gambling anxiety as I already follow strict rules that help me stay on the line.
Maybe it's a past time for some of us, because when we bored, like me, I will want to gamble, whether online or going to traditional based casinos. But I keep control of it, I just gamble what I can afford to lose. so I have self control and track all the spending and then stop when I reach it.
What about you guys? Do you have any addiction to gambling? What drives you to gamble? Is it the long shot of having a big profit coming in or is gambling simply a way of spending time for you?
I'm not addicted per se, what drives me is to enjoy and then win some money in the end. Games like slot machine is fun and roulette too and then for card games its baccarat for me.
