How do you know you have a gambling addiction?

[Kennysplash]

It is quite appalling these days to see how people engage in gambling without knowing that they are addicted already. The moment you realize that you cannot do without it for a day and you always think about it, then you should know that you are already addicted.

Also, when you realize that you are using funds meant for something else to gamble compulsively, then you are addicted. And it is very important that you start taking necessary steps to curb that addiction.

It is very simple to know that you have been addicted to gambling. Whenever you use the money you could have used in solving your life's problems to gamble then you need to realise that you have been addicted. There is also a very huge urge to bet all the time.

You may be spending too much money on the issue of bet or gambling of which you have been used to doing before.

The easiest way to know you have a gambling addiction is when you get to the point where all you think about is gambling, you are willing to do anything just to get the needed cash, you would even rather stay in hunger just so you can bet.

It is possible to detect your gambling addiction when it becomes inevitable to you. When you cannot do without playing gambling daily. When you find yourself, betting excessively in order to become rich overnight.

I believe that the way you are going to know you have a gambling addiction is when you are already in the level of even using the money that is not your own to gamble with the intention of being able to double the money in a very short time.

Actually some might not even know that they are getting addicted to gambling because they don't have concerns about it.

You will become willing and always ready to gamble with any amount of money you have.

I think some gamblers don't even know they are addicted to gambling. They may even be winning small cash prizes here and there. In reality though, gaming addicts need to find help and they need it fast, otherwise they will continue to gamble their funds away.

The best thing you can do, is get professional help. See a therapist, get away from casino, away from the gambling sites etc.

It is so difficult whenever someone is addicted to gambling for him to stop even when he or she is no longer on a winning streak. I don't understand why it usually like that because under normal circumstances, you are supposed to take a break from something that you are not benefiting anything from but gamblers don't seem to do so.

If you lose $10 today and the next day you bet $20 in order to recover your previous day's loss as well as make additional profit, and you continue to double your bets in the hope to recover your loss, you are addicted to gambling. Casinos are designed in a way that majority of people will lose money.

I think that borrowing money in order to gamble money could be the worst thing a person do. This increases the chances of bad debt and what's quite worst is the fact that you must also pay interest if you borrow money. Even if you "win" money while gambling, you will end up paying heavy interest, which is very bad.
