How do you know you have a gambling addiction?

[Heatman]

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.

Gambling habit is very bad because you are going to always find yourself having the urge to keep on gambling with the expectation that your next attempt is going to pay you a huge amount of money. This is likely going to make you to go to any extent to get money even if it means borrowing to use and gamble. Most people who gamble are into serious debts.

I don't have any gambling addiction, this is what I know very well. If I'm looking at those with gambling addiction, they are those who are irrational with how they commit to gambling. They would rather go hungry and use their feeding money to gamble which they will lose.

Self-awareness and the following indicators are necessary to identify a gambling addiction: 1. A lack of self-control when gambling 2. An addiction to gambling 3. Ignoring obligations because of gambling pursuing losses 5. Fabricating or concealing gambling habits 6. Taking out loans to gamble. If this applies to you, getting expert assistance is essential for dealing with your gambling addiction.

When it gets to the point where someone will take loans for the purpose of playing bet or gambling, there's no coming back easily for the person. They will go to any extent just to get the money they need to gamble with. They will sell their house, cars and landed properties just to have raw cash they need to gamble with.
