Do you have gambling addiction?

[Nomad]

Irrespective of wins or losses, gambling can be inherently addictive. If done responsibly and systematically, gambling can bring in money, but that can be very difficult for a lot of people because they go back to gambling when they lose, and they also go back to gambling when they win.

Do you have gambling addiction? How serious is your addiction?

I'm not addicted to gambling, but I am somewhat addicted to poker. I usually get the urge to play every day and play at least one or two games. I used to play much more often and was more overly invested in it. I took some time off before starting again, and I came back knowing I'd have better discipline and control over my play.

I don't have a gambling addiction. I gamble for fun sometimes, and that's about it.
I find it entertaining and thrilling to do so, I've known a few people that had gambling addictions though. To my knowledge, they are still playing the slot machines and losing a lot of money. They lost more than they ever won.

I don't have any addiction but I know that it's easy to fall into it if you are very careful. Here, there are so many betting companies around. So, many people are struggling with addiction.

Nope, I don't have any addiction. Gambling have never been my thing. A lot of people who are close to me keep asking how I do it because they assume that since I love football so much, I should be a gambler.

No; and it seems to me that people who have this problem are not only very stupid but also big liars. At first, they might claim they’re addicted to gambling because it gives them an adrenaline rush or because winning money is addictive. But eventually, they end up confessing that they went into debt to gamble—and since they’ve lost everything, they now owe a huge amount of money. That’s why they’re trapped and bound to gambling: they believe it’s the only way to recover all the money they owe. Honestly, I don’t see how it’s even possible to be a "gambling addict" otherwise. Everyone I know—or have known—who is a "gambling addict" reached that point because they made the idiotic decision to go into debt to gamble. And the worst part is, they didn’t even choose something where you could actually win money—like poker—nor did they gather information or plan a strategy. Instead, they went straight for pure chance, like slot machines or roulette. In short: they’re complete idiots.

No, I'm not addicted to gambling , but I only play with money that I can afford to loose,I see a lot of people putting all their life savings in gambling, but honestly I'm not addicted to gambling I choose to play whenever I feel like.
